Ministry of Justice.
A figure slowly walked out.
Li Nuo stood at the gate of the Ministry of Justice, looking up at the sky, blue and clear as a wash, his expression still somewhat dazed.
He practiced Confucianism, taking a path not of cultivating the heart, but nearly purely practical.
Yet cultivating the heart is more important in Confucianism, and even the practical ones cannot forego it entirely.
For years, he has been avoiding the issue with his father.
Firstly, it was beyond his capabilities.
Secondly, as some of the people in Chang'an say, anyone who understands what he has done all these years wouldn't simply think of him as a treacherous official wielding power over the court.
The path Li Nuo walks today, he has laid down step by step.
However, although he trusts his father, his heart still lacks a true answer.
In the past, he could avoid this problem.
But as his cultivation deepened, some issues could no longer be avoided.
