Song Jianzhong was on a certain day in February of the first year of Yasukuni

On this day, the sky was very dark, and the dark clouds squeezed the sky, as if it was about to fall, and the entire Kaifeng Mansion seemed to be quiet, and made people feel very heavy.

At this time, it was past midnight, and the sky was still out of sight, and candles needed to be lit in broad daylight.

Such an ordinary celestial phenomenon that is not a miracle is forced on people.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" In the Qinzheng Hall of the Song Imperial Palace, after all the matters were discussed, Zhao Tingzhi, the new imperial historian, came out of the class and said: "The minister was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of Li Sanjian, the judge of the Yazuo Hall of the Kaifeng Mansion, and the minister thought that Li Sanjian was a person in charge of criminal proceedings, but he knew that the law was violated, and he actually used the punishment on the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month to kill the prince of the dynasty without authorization, which has never happened in my Heavenly Empire, and it is really appalling. According to the law of our Great Song Dynasty, if the judge violates the law, the crime will be increased by one degree. His Majesty Weichen Fu begged for an order to punish this person, to correct the law of the country, and to make it clear. ”

If Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao were above the court, they would be surprised, and the husband and wife also knew in their hearts that Zhao Tingzhi had always had a bad feeling for Li Sanjian, but no matter what, there was no deep hatred between Li Sanjian and Zhao Tingzhi, and the two had almost never even met, but Zhao Tingzhi at this time wanted to put Li Sanjian to death.

"Weichen's performance is the same as Zhao Ting's!" The right counselor, Chen Cisheng, agreed with Zhao Tingzhi's words: "The law, the program of the world, and the instrument of everything." Those who are engaged in the world cannot fail to be instrumental, and those who cannot be instrumental and can achieve nothing are also available. My Holy Dynasty Sect, can An can kill if he says kill? Whether Zongzi is guilty or not, how can he be judged by a small judge? The hand of the Kaifeng Mansion is too long, right? Can you actually make decisions for the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Dazong Zhengsi? He also killed the Duke of Wei on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so he disregarded people's lives and must not be spared. ”

Chen Cisheng then bowed with a wat and said solemnly to Zhao Ji: "Recently, black clouds have pressed the city, and such a vision has fallen from the sky, which is actually because there are treacherous people in the court. ”

Zhao Tingzhi, Chen Cisheng and others are still the same, the spearhead is pointed at the dynasty to be the ruler, seize every opportunity, want to bring it down, if it can't be knocked down immediately, but also to remove its wings, even if it is a small feather, it must be pulled out, over time, this big bird feathers are stripped away, it becomes a broiler, and it can be slaughtered...

"Although the image of clouds is rare, it is not without it in winter, is it a bit far-fetched to have something to do with Li Hanren?" Zhao Ji groaned when he heard this.

Zeng Bu waited for someone to hear this, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, at this time, how could the ministers not hear what Zhao Ji meant? It seems that Zhao Ji wants to forgive Li Sanjian.

This is indeed the case.

Zhao Ji inherited the throne as the eleventh son of Emperor Shenzong, not the oldest surviving Emperor of Shenzong, so secretly Zhao Ji's inheritance of the throne is quite criticized, and it is an undercurrent, especially among the royal family.

In other words, who in this world is willing to give up the throne to others? And who is willing to be robbed of the throne by others?

On the surface, some royal relatives are shouting long live and throwing themselves to the ground, but secretly they are gritting their teeth.

At this time, Li Sanjian killed his son Zhao Xin, which can be said to have inadvertently helped Zhao Ji, which greatly deterred some royal relatives who were about to move, the reason was that Li Sanjian was Zhao Ji's subordinate and Zhao Ji's confidant.

However, it is impossible to know whether Li Sanjian was intentional or unintentional.

Therefore, according to Zhao Ji's original intention at this time, he didn't want to punish Li Sanjian at all, but wanted to reward him heavily.

Zhao Ji ordered Li Sanjian to be imprisoned, but it was just to hinder the face of the Queen Mother due to serious illness, and at the same time to appease the royal family.

"The foundation of the husband's punishment and reward lies in persuading the good and punishing the evil, so the emperor is uniform in the world, not to be close to the noble and the low, but also to the severe." Comprehending Zhao Ji's meaning, some ministers came out to refute Zhao Tingzhi and others: "Zhao Xin, the Duke of Wei, was detained in Zongzheng Temple not long ago, and was fined with a rod and copper to punish his crimes, but he did not repent, and actually pretended to be a thief, tied up the daughter of Judge Li's family of the Kaifeng Governor, and extorted money. Your Majesty, if you want to talk about the crime of Judge Li, we can only pursue him for the crime of exceeding his authority, not for the crime of disregarding human life. ”

"Haha..." When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, all the ministers looked at Zhao Ji in amazement.

No matter how much you protect your confidants, you won't laugh in public? What is this system? Many ministers secretly said in their hearts.

Zhao Ji also realized that he was a little out of shape, so he held back his laughter and said to Liang Shicheng, who was waiting on the side: "Liang Shicheng, you come to remember Li Hanren's request for guilt." ”

"Slave obeys!" Liang Shicheng bowed down to accept the order, and then took Li Sanjian's recital and read it aloud above the court: "The people are the foundation of the country." The use of money is related to safety, and the safety is urgent。。。。。。。。 ”

The first paragraph of Li Sanjian's recital is all big truths, not only are the ministers familiar with these big truths, but even Zhao Ji has already heard calluses in his ears, and there is nothing new.

However, after a while, Li Sanjian's words changed immediately, making the ministers stunned.

"The criminal minister is twenty years old, he is a person of strong blood, Zhao Xin This thief is bad for my family, the minister really can't bear it, and he can't wait to slash this thief, but the criminal minister is His Majesty's personal law officer, and he has to follow the law. . . ."

Zhao Ji and the ministers couldn't help but laugh when they heard Liang Shicheng read this.

The first paragraph of Li Sanjian's recital is about the great truth, Li Sanjian is for the country and the people, except for Zhao Xin, but in the second half of the recital, he admits that he killed Zhao Xin because of personal enmity...

Zeng Bu, Han Zhongyan and other court officials all shook their heads. 5599

For the country and the people, this reason is already very sufficient, but why do you Li Sanjian want to add snakes? Even if you Li Sanjian and Zhao Xin have a personal vendetta, you won't be so public, right?

However, at this time, there are more and more people who sympathize with Li Sanjian, who in this world can tolerate their women being ruined by others?

Even if Li Sanjian raised his knife to each other and stabbed Zhao Xin, it was understandable, and many people secretly said in their hearts, including Zhao Ji.

"Zeng Qingjia, what do you think?" Zhao Ji then asked Xiang Zeng.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the prince has broken the law and should be guilty of the same crime as ordinary people." Zeng Bu replied when he heard this.

Hearing this, Zhao Ji nodded and asked Han Zhongyan, the left minister, "Han Qing's family, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Han Zhongyan replied: "The old minister agrees with Zeng Gong's words, the prince should be guilty of the same crime as ordinary people if he violates the law. Li Sanjian, as a judge of the Kaifeng Prefecture, did exceed his authority and should be punished. ”

Zeng Bu and Han Zhongyan's words are the same, but the people they refer to are very different...

At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the Qinzheng Palace, and everyone faintly heard a shout.

Suddenly, a minister panted and rushed into the hall to report to Zhao Jiyu: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Tai Academy, too many students, Fu Que on the book, and... And also... ”

"What else?" Zhao Ji frowned and asked when he heard this.

"There are also tens of thousands of people gathered outside the Xuande Gate." The minister replied.

"What are they shouting?" Zhao Ji asked again.

"How can a loyal minister be killed? They... They asked the imperial court to release Judge Li immediately. The minister replied.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Ji said angrily when he heard this: "When did I say that I was going to kill Li Hanren? I just wanted to ask him, isn't that okay? ”

。。。。。。。。

"The official family... The slave and maid dared to ask, is there any difficulty for the official family? After returning to the dormitory from the Qinzheng Palace, Liang Shicheng saw that Zhao Ji looked like a master of the six gods, so he asked boldly.

"Don't you already know about the court? I have a heart... But how should the Queen Mother explain? The Queen Mother is still sick, and she is seeing it... Zhao Ji sighed when he heard this.

When Zhao Ji was the king of Duan, he treated his subordinates leniently, and his subordinates did not care about any offense, as long as it was not too excessive, Zhao Ji did not care, and the same was true for the emperor at this time, and he generally would not punish the eunuchs, palace maids and others in the palace because of a sentence.

It is said that Zhao Ji's parents died when he was a child, so sometimes he feels that these servants and palace maids who serve on the left and right are closer, and regard them as relatives.

"The official, the slave thinks that Li Sanjian is so bold and reckless, he should be punished, and the Queen Mother should also give her an explanation, but... Liang Shicheng thought for a while and then said: "At this time, the official family does not have to be too heavy or too light to deal with Li Sanjian. ”

"It doesn't have to be too heavy and it doesn't have to be too light?" Zhao Ji groaned.

"Official!" Liang Shicheng continued: "Li Sanjian has won the hearts of the people and is already quite prestigious among the people, if the official family deals with him too seriously at this time, wouldn't it be against the will of the people? This is detrimental to the reputation of the official family, but if the disposal is too light, the queen mother will not be able to explain it, so the official family should carefully consider this matter. ”

Liang Shicheng had something to say, and at the same time, Zhao Ji was also a smart person, so Zhao Ji immediately understood the implicit meaning of Liang Shicheng's words.

An official of the imperial court can win the hearts of the people, but he can't win the hearts of the people too much, at least this is not allowed in the capital.

"What do you think?" Zhao Ji then asked.

"Official!" Liang Shicheng replied when he heard this: "The slave maid once heard that the first emperor said that Li Sanjian was a sharp sword, which could not only hurt others but also hurt himself. ”

Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, patted Liang Shicheng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Liang Qing's family still remembers the words of the first emperor, it's really difficult for you." ”

Li Sanjian is a sharp sword, Zhao Ji also seems to have heard Zhao Xu say it, so at this time, he quite agrees with Liang Shicheng's words.

At the same time, Zhao Ji looked at Liang Shicheng more and more differently, and only regarded him as a slave in the past, but this person has extraordinary knowledge, and he may also take on important responsibilities in the future.
