Chapter 310: Guilty Cards
Song Jianzhong was on the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of the Yasukuni Dynasty
"Wang Maozhao is a great virtue, building a degree in the people, governing things with righteousness, controlling the heart with etiquette, and rewarding the Houkun."
"Establish the middle way in the world. In the middle, there is also everything under the heavens. ”
Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty asked Li Sanjian about the name of the New Year, in fact, Zhao Ji asked so casually at that time, Li Sanjian was in a hurry and wise, and replied "Jianzhong Yasukuni", but Li Sanjian never expected that when the day came, Zhao Ji really issued an edict to name the new year's name "Jianzhong Yasukuni".
Those who are in the construction will establish the way of righteousness. Those who are in the country will sweep away the filth at home. It is also refreshing to be refreshed. Taking the name of "Jianzhong Yasukuni", it was the first year of the Song Emperor Zhao Ji's real pro-government, and at the same time, after Zhao Ji ascended the throne, there was a bumper harvest of grain, and the sea was admired, and the new emperor was virtuous.
At this time, Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty changed the Yuan to "Jianzhong Yasukuni", which has a far-reaching meaning, so that people have to secretly guess, especially those ministers who take figuring out the will as the way to advance, they are even more speculative, guessing Zhao Ji's true intentions, and guessing whether the political situation of the imperial court will change?
In the new year, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month of the "Yasukuni in China" is also quite lively.
The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, also known as the Shangyuan Festival or the Lantern Festival, on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, almost every family has to put up lanterns to spend a Lantern Festival.
However, because it was still the mourning period of the first emperor Zhao Xu, it was not allowed to have large-scale and extravagant lantern displays, and the palace or the government would not come forward to hold lantern festivals.
However, despite this, the imperial court does not prohibit the people from holding lantern festivals or lantern exhibitions, it is said that Zhao Xu has been dead for more than a year, and the so-called people go to tea and cool, so there are very few people who can remember Zhao Xu at this time, and the ordinary people are even more so.
Generally speaking, when a lantern show or lantern festival is held at night, it is necessary to prepare during the day, and some large-scale lantern shows or lantern festivals will even be prepared several days or more than ten days in advance, otherwise they will be caught off guard or make people feel unsatisfied.
At this moment, the sky is already bright, and there are more and more pedestrians on the streets of Kaifengfu in Tokyo, and the largest number of people is the people who are preparing for the lantern festival or lantern show, among which the most people are outside the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City.
If it is not the emperor's mourning period, the annual Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the most lively in the square outside the Xuande Gate, which is the center of the lantern festival or lantern show, where the palace or the government will come out to set up a large mountain canopy lantern, the mountain canopy is colored and tied with lanterns, brilliant and magnificent, and the various immortals on the mountain canopy are also lifelike.
But at this time, it was the mourning period of the first emperor Zhao Xu, so the palace or the government did not come forward to build a mountain shed, but many ordinary people from Kaifeng Mansion came to build a mountain shed on the open space outside the Xuande Gate.
The palace did not stop it, they were built outside the imperial city, so why should they stop it? Some palace guards even held weapons, secretly looked at the busy people, and whispered about the upcoming night lantern festival or light show.
"Crunch... Crunch... Crunch... "The heavy snow last night has stopped at this time, and the snow on the open space outside Xuande Gate has already been cleared, but there is still a lot of snow on the road to Xuande Gate.
These people are all officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, wearing crossed feet, wearing round-necked shirts, and wearing bast shoes with their calves wrapped around their legs, all of whom are walking with knives, so that all pedestrians have to avoid them.
And the most amazing thing is that in the ranks of officials, there is a person who is obviously their leader, but he is dressed in plain clothes, white clothes and white crowns and swords, as if he is serving filial piety to someone?
The sharp-eyed people in the surrounding crowd had already recognized this person as the new section champion, Li Sanjian, the judge of the left hall of the Kaifeng Mansion.
Why is he completely vegan? On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, how unlucky this is!
At this time, there are more and more people gathered outside the Xuande Gate, and at the same time, most people's eyes are attracted by this group of people, and even the guards in the palace guarding the Xuande Gate are extremely surprised to look at these officials, I don't know what they want to do...
Li Sanjian was dressed in white and plain clothes, walking according to the sword, walking in the middle, on both sides there was a column of officials of the Kaifeng Mansion who walked according to the sword, the pace was neat, the step was powerful, in the festive day of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a lot of solemn colors were added, and it seemed unusually out of place.
"Coffin!" After dozens of officials lined up and walked to the open space outside the Xuande Gate, more and more people of Kaifeng Mansion who were watching the excitement suddenly saw that the team was followed by several black coffins? Each coffin was carried by four big men and followed the procession to the outside of the Xuande Gate.
The crowd of onlookers suddenly made a commotion, and the crowd exchanged heads and ears, and there was a lot of discussion.
For the New Year, not only wearing plain clothes, but also carrying a coffin? What do they want to do? On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, do they want to mourn before the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty?
This is a felony of the "filthy palace", and it is a great rebellion.
Some of the guards wanted to go to ask for the reason or stop it, and some of the guards wanted to run back to the palace, report to the officials, and even go straight to the heavens.
The palace guards guarding the Xuande Gate suddenly made a commotion, but in the chaos, the guards were hesitating whether to go up to stop it.
Li Sanjian walked outside the Xuande Gate, looked at the palace in the distance, and after waving his hand, the officials of the government began to get busy.
After the officials set up several huge reed mats, they suddenly startled the onlookers...
Those who often observe the sentence know that the name of this reed mat sheet is "Guilty Plate", that is, the sign that indicates the cause of the case, which is generally made of paper pasted on the reed mat sheet, and the content filled in is generally the name of the prisoner, the cause of the case, the punishment to be imposed, and the official position and name of the prison officer. Ranwen
It turns out that they are going to torture in public... At this time, there were more and more onlookers, until the open space outside the Xuande Gate was enclosed, and everyone thought of it in their hearts.
But isn't that right? Everyone secretly said in their hearts that not only was the place of execution wrong, but even the date and hour of execution were wrong.
The place of Song Zhi's execution was generally in the city court, especially the death penalty.
Whoever beheads a prince or a minister or a scholar is outside the court. It is performed outside the gate of the Five Dynasties. The execution of ordinary death row inmates is carried out in the market, usually in public in the most lively market.
This vacant land outside the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City does not belong to the Imperial Palace, and can be regarded as a street market, but which one eats the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to torture outside the Xuande Gate?
If a death row prisoner is a serious offender, his death sentence is generally carried out after the autumn, which is for the "beheading after the autumn". At the time of autumn, there are also rules to avoid enforcing on festivals or inauspicious days.
Those who are sentenced to death after the beginning of spring and before the autumn equinox shall be sentenced to death for one year. Though the time is not waited, if he is executed on the month of slaughter and on the day of the prohibition of slaughter, he shall have sixty rods of each 。。。。。
In other words, if Li Sanjian really executed on this day, then Li Sanjian's punishment would be at least 60 rods and one year in prison.
At this time, Li Sanjian, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, aroused everyone's curiosity more and more, and everyone was frightened, and everyone speculated who Li Sanjian was going to torture?
The "offense" is too far away, and the eyes that are not "clairvoyant" cannot see clearly at all.
At this time, some palace guards who wanted to step forward to stop Li Sanjian and the others were blocked by the crowd and couldn't squeeze in at all.
Unless it is to use knives and guns to drive away the crowd, but at this time, the guards are also confused, and they haven't figured out what is going on, how can they use knives and guns without permission?
"Tom... Tong... Tong... ”
Suddenly, a rapid drum beat sounded, and Li Sanjian walked up to a high platform alone, and ordered loudly: "Take someone to commit a crime!" ”
When Shankui, Xu Biao and others heard this, they brought Zhao Xin, Zhou Fanggeng and other five people who were tied up in the field and knelt on the ground.
"Li Sanjian, dog thief, you dare to be so big... Mmmmmm Zhao Xin struggled desperately and scolded, but was quickly gagged.
According to the Song Law, it is not allowed to gag when a serious offender is about to be sentenced, and once a person is about to cry out for injustice, the execution will be suspended, giving the prisoner one last chance to appeal.
However, in cases where the evidence is conclusive or where the death penalty is not allowed to be repeated, it is not within the scope of the suspension.
Li Sanjian then took a deep breath, pointed at Zhao Xin and said: "This thief's surname is Zhao Mingxin, he is the prince of Wei Guogong of the imperial court and the magistrate of Yanjin County. or a tyrant takes something by force; or stealing people's things and not paying for them; or referring to other things and seeing abuse; or colluding with officials to do evil, occupy people's daughters, and extort money, which can be described as extremely vicious. If you touch the slightest grievance, you will use a ruler and a hammer to die. This thief is also very adulterous, he likes young girls to commit adultery, and dozens of young girls have died under his hands, and the death is also miserable. His crimes are numerous and difficult to mention, but the people have no complaints, and the counties dare not do anything. ”
Li Sanjian has not done anything else since these days, mainly to collect evidence of Zhao Xin's crimes, he doesn't know if he doesn't accept it, and he is shocked when he collects it, and his crimes are so numerous that he can't express them in words.
"There are many crimes, and heaven cannot tolerate it!"
"Guilt is not punishable!"
"Kill him! Kill him! ”
"Chop him to pate!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a roar like a tsunami erupted, and the guards in the palace who wanted to squeeze in to stop them all stopped when they saw this.
These royal clansmen, who do evil on weekdays, have long aroused the resentment of the people, and at this time, Li Sanjian's words are like adding fuel to the fire, igniting everyone's raging anger.
Some of the angry people had even broken through the defense line of the government officials and wanted to beat Zhao Xin into meat sauce with their own hands.
"What are you doing? Help keep it up! Li Sanjian had already noticed the guards in the palace, so he turned his head and shouted to them.
"Oh? Oh... Oh... One of the guards was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to his men.
So the guards in the palace became the ones who maintained order on the scene...
