Chapter 309, the triage of the three divisions (I)
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the fifth day of the fourth month of April, this day was the day of the trial of Xiao Zixiu, the champion of the new department, this was originally a very simple case, to put it bluntly, Xiao Zixiu said nothing, annoyed the emperor, and was imprisoned by the emperor for offending Tianyan, if the emperor still wants to use this person, wait for a few days, the anger will disappear, and he can be released with a random excuse.

Now it seems that the emperor obviously did not mean to spare Xiao Zixiu, otherwise, he would not have moved the procedure of the triage of the three divisions, although today's triage of the three divisions has become a little different due to the addition of this special person Jiang Ge Lao.
As soon as the fifth day of the first month of April arrived, Jiang Ge Lao and Lu Yijian, the servant of the Criminal Department, came to the public hall of Dali Temple, and Qian Weiyan of Dali Temple was already waiting in the public hall, in addition to him as the chief judge, there were more than a dozen officials sitting on both sides of the court, among which Wang Qichiran, who testified to the emperor, was listed, in addition to Wang Qi, Song Qi and Yu Jing, who were on the same list as Xiao Zixiu, were also there.
These people are obviously here to observe, Qian Weiyan was probably instructed by the emperor's order, and chose to acquiesce in this, Jiang Ge Lao and Lu Yijian are co-judges, and the chief judge Qian Weiyan has no opinion, so they naturally won't say anything, the two entered the court, and after greeting Qian Weiyan, they sat in their respective positions.
Qian Weiyan saw that everyone had come, so he ordered someone to go and bring Xiao Zixiu in prison to the court, Xiao Zixiu was imprisoned on March 18, and today is the fifth day of the fourth month, that is to say, he has been in prison for more than half a month, a scholar who has been smooth sailing and has never suffered hardship, was suddenly escorted to the prison for more than half a month, and everyone present thought that they would see a pessimistic, desperate, depressed, and unkempt Xiao Zixiu.
As a result, when he came to the court, everyone was slightly stunned, except for Xiao Zixiu's hair and clothes, and a faint smell on his body, the whole person didn't look inappropriate. He hadn't been groomed for more than half a month, and the environment he lived in was not so clean, and the temperature at this time was not too low, many of his hair had become small pieces, but Xiao Zixiu still took care of them neatly, and the clumped hair was meticulously fixed on the top of his head with a hairpin.
Although there was a lot of dirt on his clothes, there was nothing wrinkled, his face was calm and calm, full of energy, and he could not see the slightest bit of decadence and malaise on him, and the officials present, except for a few people from the prince's family, the others had a good impression of Xiao Zixiu almost immediately.
What is a person's temperament, from his attitude in the face of adversity, it is easiest to see the clues, like Xiao Zixiu, a proud son of heaven who has never experienced a setback, suddenly facing prison, if the mind is not firm enough, the whole person will soon be shrouded in fear, anxiety, helplessness and other negative emotions, such a person, even if he can get out of prison, will leave a shadow in his heart.
A young man like Xiao Zixiu, who has been imprisoned in prison for nearly 20 days, can still maintain this calm and calm, as long as he does not fall halfway, he will become a great weapon in the future, you must know that throughout the ages, the proportion of heart and will is often more important than talent, and a person like Xiao Zixiu who has both, as long as he passes the current level, he can almost foresee his bright future in the future......
Zi Xiu didn't pay attention to the thoughts of others, after he entered the court, he walked to the three chief judges without squinting, and saluted the three people sitting on the desk: "Xiao Zixiu has seen all the adults. ”
"The champion doesn't have to be polite, before the case is cleared, you are not a sinner, come and sit." Qian Weiyan waved his hand, and someone moved a chair in, letting Zixiu sit under the court.
"Lord Xiao, you were imprisoned before, because you confronted Your Majesty in front of him, annoyed him, Your Majesty was angry and put you in prison, this is not a big deal, we are courtiers, who dares to say that he did not provoke the emperor's anger, like this situation, just wait for the emperor to dissipate, Lord Xiao can go out......" After Qian Weiyan asked Zixiu to sit down, he then smiled and said down, his appearance was more powerful, and he had a long beard, he should have taken the route of iron-faced punishment, but he pretended to be the Buddha, There is no sense of disobedience.
No, the smile on his face was too kind, causing the officials who were watching the case to be stunned involuntarily after listening to his words, and a thought rose in everyone's hearts: Isn't it that Your Majesty saw that Jiang Ge Lao made a move, and for the sake of the old Ge Lao's face, he was not ready to embarrass Xiao Zixiu again, these three divisions were just going through the procedure, and they actually wanted to borrow their hands to publicly release Xiao Zixiu?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Qian Weiyan paused slightly, and then continued: "But now the situation is a little different, Princess Huayan personally testified, you said that you humiliated her and didn't say it, and you were disrespectful to the royal family, can you admit your guilt?" ”
"Zi Xiu is afraid, it is true that Zi Xiu has made His Majesty unhappy, but he has never done anything disrespectful to the princess, before Zi Xiu was imprisoned, he only met with the princess twice, once at the Qionglin banquet, and once in the emperor's imperial study, the minister is sure that he has never said anything offensive to the princess, and I hope that the lord will see it!" Zi Xiu stood up from his chair and said with a panicked expression.
"You mean to say that Princess Huayan is slandering you?" Lu Yijian, who was sitting on Qian Weiyan's left, suddenly interjected.
"Don't dare, maybe there is any misunderstanding between the princess and the minister, if you don't believe it, you can ask the princess to come and confront you face to face." Zi Xiu glanced up at him and said lightly.
"The princess is a daughter, it is inconvenient to come to the court of Dali Temple, if you think that you have no such behavior, after the trial of Dali Temple is over, you can apply for a face to face and confront the princess in front of the emperor, today we are not presiding over your crime of disrespect to the royal family, but someone reported you for disobedience and unfilial piety and murder!"
"The pleadings say that in order to get rid of your grandfather and grandmother, you did not hesitate to beat and threaten to force them to sign a document to sever blood ties with you, and in addition, there are also people who accuse you of using your local prestige to kill two convicts who have a grudge against your family, is this true?" Qian Weiyan waved his hand, not entangled in Princess Huayan, but changed the conversation and threw out today's theme.
The officials who thought that the emperor was not ready to investigate Xiao Zixiu's offense against Tianyan for the sake of Jiang Ge's old face had been stunned by Qian Weiyan's next series of questions, what was the situation? The emperor has already decided to fight with Jiang Ge Lao? Vows to push the new champion to the end?
