The Great Idle Person of the Zhenguan Era.

Summary

The Emperor, Li Shi Min, appeared to be impartial, but in reality, he was in control of the situation. Li Su realized that Li Shi Min had been manipulating the case from behind the scenes. Li Shi Min cleared those who were supposed to be cleared and imprisoned those who were supposed to be imprisoned, even if they were guilty. Li Su felt enlightened and humbled by this experience. Li Shi Min's true nature was revealed when he was alone, showing a relaxed and carefree personality. However, his hygiene was questionable, and Li Su was shocked when Li Shi Min touched him with his unwashed hands. Li Shi Min warned Li Su not to bring up the pitiful maid's case again, or he would not forgive him. Li Shi Min offered Li Su a high position and the opportunity to enter the imperial court, but Li Su declined, citing his responsibility to the Fireworks Bureau and the secret recipe for gunpowder. Li Shi Min was taken aback by Li Su's response and eventually accepted his decision. The principle of "caution in killing" was established by Li Shi Min after he killed an official named Lu Zu Shang, realizing that impulsiveness was not a good thing. This principle would be followed in the future, and death row prisoners would be thoroughly reviewed before execution.
