Dengzhou Ayun case.

The cause was a young girl named Ah Yun, who was forced to marry a strange and ugly man, Ah Yun did not comply, but was tied up and sent to her husband's house, and was humiliated by her fiancé, but she was angry, and she slashed her fiancé with a knife and cut off one of his fingers.

Subsequently, the husband's family reported to the official, and Ah Yun confessed, and the magistrate was sentenced to death for 'murdering her husband'.

The case file went to the prefect, and the prefect of Dengzhou thought that Ayun was forcibly married during the period of losing his mother and filial piety, believing that this marriage violated the law of etiquette, the marriage was invalid, and could not be regarded as 'murdering her husband', and the person did not die, so Ayun was exempted from the death penalty and submitted to Dali Temple for approval.

Dali Temple thought that 'violating the law is a real marriage, and it is not false to murder her husband', and sentenced Ayun to hanging.

The prefect of Dengzhou was not convinced, and added that Ayun had a 'voluntary surrender' plot, insisted on exempting the death penalty, and wrote again.

Then, the party fought.

The 'old and new' parties were involved in their own bigwigs, and the arguments in the court began, and the lawsuit went all the way to Emperor Shenzong, who had just ascended the throne.

Emperor Shenzong saw the dispute between the two sides and handed over the case to the Criminal Department.

And the Criminal Department also stood on the side of Dali Temple, accusing the Dengzhou prefect of exonerating Ayun and sentencing him to death again.

This move sharply intensified the party strife, and the two giants, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, came forward to argue with each other in front of the Divine Sect, and their respective subordinates attacked each other.

Subsequently, the bigwigs of the imperial court stood in line, Chen Shengzhi, Han Jiang, and Lu Gongbi supported Wang Anshi; And Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and others supported Sima Guang.

All of them are highly respected, and they are the prime ministers of the court, and ordinary cases have become an excuse for party disputes.

These bigwigs argued with each other, and no one could convince anyone, and they continued to fight for more than a year. Emperor Shenzong couldn't stand it and wanted to end it, and after several repetitions, he supported Wang Anshi, and after two years, Emperor Shenzong pardoned Ah Yun in the form of amnesty, so that Ah Yun could return home, remarry, get married and have children.

It stands to reason that this ordinary case should end here, but Sima Guang and others did not give up, more than 20 years later, Shenzong died, Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne in the early years of Yuanyou, Sima Guang ordered people to arrest Ayun, who was already in his forties, and sentenced him to be hanged, and he was executed that month!

It has been six years since Ah Yun was sentenced to death, and twenty-five years have passed since the initial case!

Now, Ayun's son wants to avenge his mother and sue Yushitai.

This once again aroused the vigilance of the two parties, and then they quickly attacked each other in order to gain the upper hand.

This case has caused huge waves in the government and the opposition, and it has spread rapidly.

At the beginning, it was a struggle between the 'old and new' parties, and the Shenzong Dynasty ended with the victory of the 'new party' and the pardon of Ah Yun; at the beginning of Yuan You, Empress Dowager Gao lowered the curtain to listen to the government, Sima Guang and others took power, overthrew and restarted, and sentenced Ah Yun to death.

The 'old party's attack on the 'new party' is 'improper discussion of the law', 'arbitrary law', 'forming a party for personal gain, and cracking down on dissidents', and Ayun's murder of her husband is true.

The 'new party' counterattacked, laid out more legal basis, and even brought out the edict of Emperor Shenzong, criticizing the 'old party' for overthrowing the edict of Emperor Shenzong, and being 'not a minister'.

The two sides competed to buckle their hats, and the already boiling government and the opposition were quickly snatched from the attention of this case, opening a new round of war.

The 'Dengzhou Ayun case' itself is a very small case, and the fundamental reason why it has risen so rapidly and lasted for more than 20 years is that it is still a party dispute.

Now, it's still a partisan struggle!

The three law secretaries will never go down, and can only ask the political affairs hall.

Cai Jing, Cao Zheng, and the new Imperial History Zhongcheng Huang Lu came to the Qingwafang and stood in front of Cai Bian.

Huang Lu is a middle-aged fat man who seems to be steady, with a sincere expression, slow movements, raised his hand, and said: "Cai Xianggong, it is the son of Ayun who came to complain, more than a month ago, Dengzhou suddenly encountered the sea breeze, and his whole family suffered. ”

Huang Xu's tone was also very slow, word by word, very clear and steady.

Cai Bian still remembers this case, and it has been repeated for many years, involving too many people.

He glanced at Cai Jing and Cao Zheng, frowned and was silent for a while, and said, "What's next for your Yushitai general's case?" ”

Huang Lu looked at Cai Bian and said, "Yes." There are many problems in this case, and Yushitai cannot shirk it. ”

In Yu Shitai's view, there are indeed many problems in the case of Ah Yun's 'murder of her husband': first, Ah Yun was forcibly married during the loss of her mother, which violates the law of etiquette and naturally cannot be counted, so the murder of 'her husband' cannot be established. The second is to turn himself in, according to the law, he should be lenient, and the 'husband' is not dead, Ayun will not be hanged for his crime.

Cai Bian pondered for a while and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Cai Bian's words are very meaningful.

This case is no longer the case itself, it involves years of struggle between the 'old and new' parties, and the direction of the case is directly related to the situation of the DPRK.

Huang Lu didn't look at Cai Jing and Cao Zheng, his tone was still very slow, and said, "Yu Shitai suggests a retrial." ”

Cai Bian glanced at him and said, "Tell me what you really think." ”

Huang Lu raised his hand and said in a calm tone: "The lower official wants to overturn the case." ”

Cai Jing and Cao Zheng glanced at him, and both of them were silent.

Huang Lu is Zhang Dan's person, and Zhang Duan is Wang Anshi's assistant, and the relationship is very clear.

Huang Lu wants to overturn the case, that is, Zhang Dian wants to overturn the case. Once this case is overturned, then Sima Guang and others will be denied.

Once Sima Guang 'misjudges' the case, it will be investigated!

This is a retaliation and liquidation operation with obvious intentions against the 'old party'!

Cai Bian's heart was like a mirror, his expression hesitated for a while, and said, "What do others say?" ”

Cai Bian asked about a few Shangshu in Beijing.

Huang said: "They didn't speak. ”

Cai Bian frowned, a little headache, this matter was too complicated, he couldn't decide easily.

Thinking that Zhang Dian would come back in a few days, Cai Bian looked at the three chief officials of the three law divisions in front of him, and suddenly, his expression changed immediately, his eyes opened slightly, and then he wrinkled his brows, his face was indifferent, and he paused, he stared at Huang Lu, and said in a warning tone: "This case, press it first, don't try it." Remember, without my permission, you are not allowed to move! Even if Zhang Dian comes back, he is not allowed to move! If you disobey the order, even if Zhang Dian comes back, I can still let you die in Lingnan! ”

Cai Jing looked at this younger brother expressionlessly, thinking about his words in his heart.

Because Cai Jing is upside down in the law change, the relationship with Cai Bian is gradually drifting apart, and the brothers don't say that they treat each other as enemies, but they have reached the point where they hate each other.

Cao Zheng is also puzzled, Cai Bian and Zhang Dian are both law changers, even if their ideas are a little different, but they are roughly the same, and revenge on the 'old party' can not only take revenge but also pave the way for the next revival of the 'Xining Law'.

Why did Cai Bian suddenly release such cruel words?

Huang Lu looked at Cai Bian, and there was a hint of coldness on his sincere expression.

Cai Bian knew the anger in Zhang Dian's chest, stared at Huang Lu, thinking about his relationship with Zhang Dian, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Someone!" ”

The guards outside the door of the blue tile house immediately came in, and one of them said, "Cai Xianggong." ”

Cai Bian said lightly: "Huang Zhongcheng is not feeling well, please ask him to rest in the side room, and he is not allowed to leave without my permission." ”

Huang Lu, Cao Zheng, and Cai Jing's faces changed suddenly!

Cai Bian wants to put Huang Xu under house arrest!

A deputy prime minister wants to put under house arrest the transcendent Yushi Zhongcheng, who gave him such a big guts!

Cao Zheng tightened his face and did not speak, carefully analyzing the problems in his heart.

Cai Bian categorically will not easily put Huang Lu under house arrest, such a crime cannot be tolerated by hundreds of officials, let alone officials - unless he has enough reasons!

Cai Jing's eyes flashed, he was thinking about Cai Bian's expression just now, obviously thinking of something in his heart.

He knew that his younger brother had a disagreement with Zhang Dan, but he was not yet able to break up, so what was the scruple of suddenly placing Huang Lu under house arrest?

Huang Xu's expression was very cold, his tone became very fast, and he looked at Cai Bian and said: "Please also ask Cai Xianggong to give the lower officials an explanation, otherwise the lower officials will be difficult to obey." ”

The status of the emperor in the imperial history is transcendent, and normally speaking, even the zai and the young zai can be tough. Even if Huang Lu does not have Zhang Dian as a backer, he is not afraid of Cai Bian.

Cai Bian's face was colder than him, and he said, "Because Huang Zhongcheng is not feeling well, please." ”

Seeing that Cai Bian didn't give him any explanation, Huang Lu's expression became more and more unsightly, but he didn't really resist, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

The guards hurriedly 'protected', and the holy decree was to ask them to obey the orders of the three ministers.

Cai Jing saw that Cai Bian had really put Huang Lu under house arrest, his face gradually calmed down, and said, "Can I know?" ”

Cai Bian glanced at him and said lightly: "You've been doing too much lately, stop for a while." ”

Cao Zheng didn't dare to speak immediately, Cai Bian treated his brother so ruthlessly, let alone him.

Cai Jing looked at Cai Bian for a while and didn't ask any more questions.

Cai Bian didn't explain to them, Cai Jing, after Cao Zheng left, he sat and thought for a while, got up and went to the political hall.

Although the Qingwa house has Su Song's location, Su Song 'doesn't like' here, so his duty room is still in the political affairs hall.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was in the study of Funing Palace, looking at the recitals of Hebei Lianglu, which included the signatures of Zhao Xiang, Xu Jiang, and Li Qingchen.

The three of them signed together, and things were not so simple.

This recital describes in detail the situation of the Yellow River in the territory of Hebei Lianglu, and uses many words that are 'unbearable', and the meaning of seriousness fills between the lines.

Zhao Xu's face was gloomy, and he was worried.

The system problems of the Song Dynasty led to almost no one doing things in the local area, and the people of a hundred years were floating under the situation, and the situation was conceivably erosive.

However, once the Yellow River bursts, not only hundreds of people will be displaced, but the imperial court will need to do its best to provide disaster relief.

The two roads in Hebei are still the front line of the defense of the Liao State, and if these two places are washed away by floods, the consequences are unimaginable!

"I hope they don't let me down......"

Zhao Xu muttered softly. He has done everything he can do, and now, he is looking forward to the ability of Xu Jiang and others.

There is nothing in the palace that can be hidden from Zhao Xu, and before Cai Bian arrived at the political hall, someone came to report.

After hearing this, Chen Pi was shocked, and hurriedly came in and reported the matter to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was stunned when he heard this, Cai Bian actually put Huang Lu under house arrest in the imperial history?

Privately placing a senior member of the court under house arrest is a conspiracy, but it is a big crime!

Zhao Xu thought about it, looked at Chen Pi and said, "He didn't come over?" ”

Chen Pi tightened his face and said, "No, I'm going to the political hall." ”

Zhao Xu looked playful and said with a smile: "It's interesting." ”

Cai Bian put Huang Lu under house arrest and hasn't come to explain yet, which shows that there must be something that makes Cai Bian unable to come over.

What could it be?

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Go and transfer that case, I want to take a look." By the way, Su Xianggong and Zhang Xianggong will be in Beijing tomorrow? ”
