The Minister of Justice sides with Ling Yan, not to mention that the Ministry of Punishment already has such a provision, even if it didn't, they could fabricate one at will. The Left Chancellor of the Imperial Secretariat only oversees the Six Ministries, and even the jurisdiction and capabilities beneath them are roughly known, but specific regulations remain unclear.
Ling Tianyu knew without thinking that this was the case for Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and even the Imperial Secretariat.
The Chancellor of Zhongshu Province and the Prime Minister of Menxia Province merely watched without speaking. After all, no one expected the new First Grade Grand Judge of Dali Temple to be so formidable, directly forcing the Left Chancellor of the Imperial Secretariat into a corner.
The Ministry of Punishment indeed seems to have such a provision.
