Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 489 Dad, Save Me
Liu Daxia is still imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. After discussing for these days, everyone already knows how to deal with Liu Daxia.

At most he would just lose his position in the Censorate, and he shouldn't be subject to severe punishment. After all, the incident of burning the nautical chart had its reasons, and it has been so long since then.

Today, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple jointly gave their opinions on the matter. Liu Daxia was dismissed from his post but retained his title of Hanlin Bachelor.

Although Liu Daxia was dismissed from his post, he retained his position as Hanlin Bachelor. Although he had no hope of promotion in the future, he still retained some influence in the officialdom.

Just as he was about to leave the Ministry of Justice, he saw the guards from the inner factory walking in, dragging two young men who looked like dead dogs.

Liu Daxia didn't pay attention at first, until he heard one of the young men yelled "Dad" in an inarticulate voice.

Liu Daxia frowned, but he didn't know what crime this young man had committed to be beaten into such a horrible state and scared to the point of calling everyone he met daddy.

Liu Daxia shook his head.

"Dad, save me..."

Liu Daxia was stunned. Why did he feel that the voice was somewhat familiar? He hurriedly turned back to look at the young man who was speaking. After staring at him for a while, he asked in astonishment, "Xun'er?"

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Seeing his eldest son being beaten into this state, with a face full of pain, his teeth knocked out, and his hands and right leg basically broken, Liu Daxia's face suddenly changed, and he pointed at the two internal factory guards with a gloomy face and said: "Who, who told you to do such evil?!"

Liu Daxia was trembling when he heard the voice. He had originally planned to leave the Ministry of Justice, but now he turned back angrily.

……

Liu Jian's mansion.

Liu Jian was now a little restless and was walking back and forth in the study.

Liu Zhang said anxiously, "Master, please don't leave. Will Jie'er be in trouble?"

Liu Jian said angrily: "Nothing will happen? Who do you think this evil creature will kill?"

"He is Chen Ce! He can even pull me down. The emperor's favor towards him has surpassed everything else. Do you think anything will happen?"

"This bastard! Who allowed him to kill someone on his own initiative? Who gave him the courage?!"

Regardless of whether Liu Jie killed Chen Ce or not, the matter was of great importance and he could not bear the consequences.

If Chen Ce were really killed, the Liu family might be finished. At the very least, Liu Jie would definitely be exiled or even executed.

Liu Jian had three sons. The eldest and second sons died early, leaving Liu Jie as the only son.

Liu Jian couldn't bear to see the Liu family without descendants!

"This bastard!"

Liu Zhang said tearfully, "Master, isn't Jie'er just standing up for you? It's because that Chen Ce pulled you out of the cabinet that Jie'er is so angry. He's your son, so of course he wants to stand up for you and seek justice."

Liu Jian said angrily: "Why should I seek justice from him? I am not as skilled as him! If he really had the ability, he should have passed the imperial examination and become an official earlier, and entered the cabinet earlier. That would be justice for me!"

While the old couple was talking, the steward of the Liu Mansion came hurriedly from outside.

"Master, Master..."

Liu Jian hurriedly asked, "How is it? He won't really kill Chen Ce, right?"

The steward shook his head and said, "No."

Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief. That was not a bad thing. Since the assassination failed, there was room for maneuver. At worst, he, Liu Jian, could swallow his pride and beg Chen Ce not to pursue the matter. In the end, the matter might be settled.

Otherwise, if Chen Ce really wants to hold Liu Jie accountable, he will have to stay in the Ministry of Justice for at least a period of time.

But the steward said in panic: "Master, the young master has been abolished by Chen Ce."

Ok?
Liu Jian looked at the steward in shock. What did this mean?
What does it mean that Liu Jie was ruined by Chen Ce?

Chen Ce looks so weak and ill that even I am afraid he is no match for him. How can I defeat a young and strong man like Liu Jie?
"what happened?"

The steward said, "The young master has been sent to the Ministry of Justice. His teeth are all broken, and his hands and one leg are all broken." Hearing this, Liu Zhang's eyes went dark and she fainted.

Liu Jian's face turned pale and he angrily said, "Chen Chunjian! You are going too far!"

"Go to the Criminal Department!"

Liu Jian immediately ordered: "Don't take the sedan chair, prepare a horse for me, and go to the Ministry of Justice now! Quick!"

"Here!"

When Liu Jian arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he found Liu Daxia was having a heated discussion with the Minister of Justice Min Gui.

After Liu Jian arrived, Liu Daxia seemed to have found his backbone and said to Liu Jian: "Lord! Come and administer justice!"

"My son and your son were beaten like this. Is there still justice? Is there still law?!"

Liu Daxia still doesn't know Liu Jian's current situation. Although Liu Jian still holds the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet, all the real power has been handed over to Li Dongyang.

Now Li Dongyang is the prime minister of the cabinet.

Although Liu Jian was resting at home, his position as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet was still held. Min Gui said helplessly, "Mr. Cabinet Elder."

Liu Jian asked angrily: "Where is my son?"

Min Gui said: "Your son committed a crime in the street and was taken to jail."

"Let him go!"

Min Gui gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, this is against the rules. You are committing a crime in the street."

"I asked you to let him go!"

Min Gui was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Sir Liu, I am doing my job impartially. It is unreasonable for me to let someone go just because he failed to commit a crime."

Since you have given me the cold shoulder, I will not be polite.

Do you still think you are the Prime Minister of the Cabinet? Who gave you the confidence to talk to me like this?
Isn't it good for everyone to keep a friendly attitude? Are you bullying me for not having a temper?

Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, and Liu Daxia was also shocked. He really didn't know where the Minister of Justice got the courage to speak to the Prime Minister like that.

Liu Jian was silent for a moment, then said to Min Gui, "Can I go and see my son?"

Min Gui said: "Of course you can."

Liu Jian took Liu Daxia and walked quickly into the prison.

Liu Jian's youngest son Liu Jie and Liu Daxia's eldest son Liu Xun had been beaten to the point where they could not speak clearly, their whole bodies were shaking, and their facial features were distorted.

"Dad...save me, it hurts..."

Liu Jie spoke with difficulty.

Liu Jian's heart was broken, bastard! Chen Ce, you beast, you are too crazy!

Knowing that he is my, Liu Jian's son, how dare you kill him so cruelly?
Liu Daxia was also feeling bad at this time. As a father, how could he feel good seeing his son being beaten like this?

"My Lord! Chen Ce is really going too far! He knew that this was our offspring, but he still wanted to kill him. He is too arrogant!"

"Does he think that he can be so arrogant just because he has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty?"

"If he continues to develop like this, what's the difference between him and the eunuch Wang Zhi? The only difference is that one is a eunuch and the other is a treacherous favorite!"

"This boy must not be let off so easily!"

Liu Jian gritted his teeth and said to the Minister of Justice, "Can you please ask the doctor to come and treat my son first?"

Min Gui was silent for a moment and said, "Okay!"
