As Li Ling asked this question, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little strange. Even Wei Liang showed an unusual look on his face and lowered his head. Because this question was too sensitive.

In fact, if only the Wei clan was closed and someone asked this question, most of the people present would give the answer without hesitation - compared to the so-called court laws and regulations, family rules are naturally more important. In other words, in their eyes, family interests are important than the gains and losses of the court.

This is not the view of the Wei family, but it can reach the great families of the Central Plains. In the eyes of these people, the pros and cons of the court, and the rise and fall of the world are important, but once there is a conflict with the interests of the family, they will choose the latter without hesitation. After all, the latter is the foundation of their survival.

However, this statement is completely unavailable. No family of aristocratic families would tell such a traitor in front of outsiders. At least on the surface, they still put loyalty to the emperor and patriotism first. Just as it was written on the highest archway in front of the Wei family village, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and loyalty are always placed before everything.

Of course, the Wei family can respond to Li Ling with such a standard answer, but the problem is that they can already think of what Li Ling will make after getting the answer, so it makes people feel embarrassed.

But Li Ling refused to let them go. Seeing that the scene suddenly became cold, he chased after him and said, "What, is it difficult for you to make a choice?"

"Hmph! Who said that since we are subjects of the Great Yue, we naturally put loyalty to the court first, and the court's laws and regulations are naturally above my family's rules." The uncle, who was in the front, finally spoke up and expressed his position. The other party was the imperial official. Once he really caught this, he would really have endless troubles. So even though he knew what would appear later, he could only say so.

As he spoke, others followed suit and expressed their views in succession.

Faced with the similar statements of everyone, Li Ling only listened quietly and did not raise any objections. He only said at the end: "The Wei family is worthy of being commended by Emperor Taizong to be loyal, filial, kind and kind. He is really noble and honest, and I am impressed by our younger generations."

After a pause, he suddenly glanced over everyone: "Since that's the case, I'll ask you again, why do you force your children to not obey the orders of the court today? Isn't it the orders of the court that my teacher can get the position of the doctor of the Ministry of Justice? Why do you force him to reject this position? Isn't this contradictory to your argument that loyalty to the emperor first?"

Everyone was suffocated. They had guessed that Li Ling would ask this before, but in a hurry, he really couldn't find a reasonable response, so he was naturally silent.

"Mr. Li is such a bad word." At this time, the third uncle suddenly spoke and looked at him deeply, "We have said before, so we hope that Zhongxian will give up this position because there is a more suitable candidate. Wei Jie talks about the ability to punish the prison. In terms of people in the Ministry of Justice, he is better than Zhongxian in any way. Only by letting him take office is the best result for the court. So we do this, not to violate the court's laws by patriarchal law, on the contrary, this is the manifestation of our wholeheartedness for the country."

As soon as these words were said, they woke up the others. The uncle immediately agreed: "Yes, this is what we meant, but our painstaking efforts were not accepted by you. Zhongxian, you may be unhappy, but that's the truth..."

"Yes, when it comes to being an official in the Ministry of Justice, Ziyu is indeed much better than Zhongxian. We must not have any selfish intentions!"...

These people defended themselves one by one, but Wei Liang's face became more gloomy. These people were determined to suppress themselves and give up this position. If he had hesitated before, worried that his persistence would cause unhappiness to the tribe, now this concern has long disappeared and he planned to fight them head-on.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Ling spoke again: "Since that's the case, why hasn't Wei Jie been promoted to a doctor by the court? Is Your Majesty and all the adults in the court all have no eyes and don't know his talents?"

He asked this sentence just now, but it is still hard to answer because no matter how you answer it, it is wrong.

Fortunately, Li Ling quickly answered them himself: "Maybe, after all, my teacher is only an official in the local area and does not know much about everything in the capital. When he reaches the Ministry of Justice, he will definitely be unfamiliar with it..."

"Hmm?" Everyone felt a little surprised again. Why did he find a way for them? Seeing that the situation was stronger than others, was he actually planning to give up? This made them suddenly feel happy. If Li Ling changed his mind, Wei Liang would be able to convince him.

However, Wei Liang looked calm at this time and trusted his students very much. He knew that he would not do anything to betray him, so he would definitely have another purpose when saying such strange words.

"I will be relieved if Lord Li is so sensible..." Uncle's reaction was fast enough. Seeing that Li Ling seemed to be giving in, he spoke with the flow, hoping to make things happen so that Li Ling would not have any room for regret.

But before he finished speaking, Li Ling said quickly: "But I thought about it again, and there was still some doubts about the matter, that is, why did the court have such an arrangement? It would be fine if one or two people omitted it, but now the court is unanimous to let my teacher be the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, there must be a reason.

"After thinking about it, I finally got a little opinion. I hope you can listen to it and see if what I said is right.

"I agree with these statements that Beijing officials are very different from local officials, and that being in a yamen like the Ministry of Justice is not only important in talent, but also in a connection with others. Yes, it is difficult to be a Beijing official, especially the officials in the prison, who always offend people. If no one maintains it, it is very likely that they will lose their jobs in a case in just a few months, or they will be difficult to be promoted from now on. Is that right?"

As he said that, Li Ling swept the crowd again, and saw that everyone had no objection, he continued: "And you believe that my teacher is inferior to Wei Jie, because it is because of people's connections. But in fact, have you ignored something?"

"What?" the uncle was concerned and couldn't help asking urgently.

Li Ling pointed to himself: "Me, have you ignored me, Li Ling? I am a student of the teacher and have always respected him. As long as the teacher has something to do, I, Li Ling, will have no reason not to stand up for him, just like today.

"Maybe the teacher will encounter all kinds of troubles when he first entered the Ministry of Justice, but I believe that as long as I assisted from the side, these troubles can be solved one by one. It was not because I, Li Ling, said that I am a bit slim in the court today. I still have some slight slut when ordinary officials face me, and I have to avoid it.

"To be honest, although I have been in the court for less than ten years, I have made many contributions, including the southwest, Jiangnan, and even the northern border, and have had friendship with many adults in the court. For example, Prime Minister Lu, he appreciated me quite well. If they had not recommended it to me, I would not have held an important position at a young age and became the Shaoqing of the Transportation Department.

"Also, even with the Imperial City Department, I have a friendship with many people. I dare not say anything else. If someone dares to harm my teacher, I can still help me dig out the opponent. In the end, I am still in the capital and I dare not say that if I have too much, I will take out a million taels of silver to cut off the feng shui or something. It should not be difficult.

"So, as long as I, Li Ling, are here, I will be able to keep my teacher safe and safe as a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. Maybe in a few years, he will be able to go further and take the position of Minister of the Secretariat. I wonder what I think of this statement?"

After saying these words, the hall suddenly became completely quiet, and the needle fell to the sound. Everyone looked at him and Wei Liang with surprise, but the latter looked at Li Ling with some gratitude. His students actually made harsh words for him, and they tore their faces torn to pieces with the Wei family.

What does it mean to pay for people to cut off Feng Shui? That means you really want to stay with the Wei family. Only those who hold absolutely real power in their hands dare to make such harsh words.

At this moment, in addition to anger, there was also a little fear and anxiety in the hearts of the Wei family. They could see that Li Ling was not just a threat, he could really do such a thing. Even if it didn't work in the end, the harm to the Wei family would be terrible.

The elders were so angry that their bodies trembled and their faces turned blue, but they could not say anything to refute.

Li Ling smiled, the so-called clan is actually a group with clear distinction between high and low, and common interests. As long as the external threat is great enough, they will retreat first. And this is not enough, so he decided to do it again: "By the way, there is a saying that I can't speak up, so please listen to whether it's right."

"This family of the same surname is originally a family, so how can we distinguish between the master and the side? Especially the master sect and the side sect actually distinguish between the superior and the inferior, which is really unacceptable. What makes me even more strange is why, as the side sect, we should avoid and even complain about ourselves? Just because you are not as noble as others? Whoever comes from the same ancestor can still distinguish who is noble?

"Also, this side sect may have been separated from the main sect at the beginning, so you really feel that you can always benefit from it? Maybe today, my teacher, who is a side sect, is forced to give up the benefits you deserve, but tomorrow? Who can you guarantee that the same thing will not happen to you then?
