Chapter 863: The Queen Arrives
Zhao Zhen looked at the little woman in front of him in surprise, the crime of colliding with the emperor is very big, but if there is a grievance, it is different, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will generally accept the grievance, but since he ascended the throne, Zhao Zhen has not seen the matter of suing the emperor, and he is also very curious this time, especially if the sue is still a woman.
The surrounding guards were more or less merciful when they saw Yang Xiu, the woman, crashing into the emperor's car, after all, women are weak, not to mention that Yang Xiu looks good, and I feel sorry for her miserable appearance, so people can't help but do something to her.
What kind of person will sue the royal court? Only those who are desperate and do have grievances that are difficult to settle for their grievances, otherwise once the truth is found out, wouldn't they be self-defeating?
Therefore, Zhao Zhen felt that there was no great grievance, this little woman would never embark on this road, and subjectively Zhao Zhen sympathized with her, after all, women are born weak, let alone in feudal society.
Because of the collision of the young woman, Zhao Zhen simply did not leave, and the onlookers crowded the road to the brim, and the habit that has not changed in China for thousands of years is to watch the excitement, the bigger the better, the more shocking the more people.
The officials of Beiping Mansion have begun to be vigilant in the outermost area, because of the vastness of Beijing City, the officials in Beijing City are also equipped with military horses, that is, similar to the mounted police of later generations, there is no way to make the Great Song Dynasty not lack war horses now......
Because it is a lawsuit, everyone's curiosity is attracted by the case, even including Zhao Zhen, they are curious about what is going on with the woman in front of them, you must know that in this era, women rarely show up like this, most of them hire Chinese people or litigants to come to the lawsuit, and it is not appropriate for women to come to court.
Just for the courage of this little woman, Zhao Zhen wanted to shout hello, with a warm smile on his face for fear of scaring her: "It is a felony to collide with the emperor, but since you are sued, you have grievances, and I am the father of the Great Song Dynasty, so I will naturally make decisions for you and tell you the grievances." ”
Yang Xiu's original desperate and numb expression became vivid, and after bowing down, he said: "Qi Guan family, the people's daughter Yang Xiu, is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family of Shenglong Firm, suing her in-laws for drowning my child's life!" ”
Crash...... Yang Xiu's words made the onlookers blow up, this matter is really tricky, difficult to do, even Zhao Zhen frowned and thought about it.
"Have you ever been to the Criminal Division?"
"The women took it and sent the women to the government, but the government did not take the case, and the women were expelled."
Sancai on the side said in a low voice: "Official, Liu Yu, the governor of Beiping Mansion, asked to see him, probably because of the ...... of this case."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Let him come over, I want to see why such a simple case is not accepted?" Even if the in-laws are the elders, the Yang family is suspected of rebellion, and they can't ignore the fact of drowning babies! ”
Sancai coughed dryly, and said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "Qijuan's family, I heard that it was because Mayzi didn't raise ......."
"Mayday don't lift?!" Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, of course he knew about this feudal tradition and was familiar with history books, but he thought it was too unbelievable and didn't take it seriously, how could any parent in the world kill his children?
But what he didn't expect was that it was really in front of his eyes, and the little woman Yang Xiu was not her dead baby in her arms? Zhao Zhen was stunned for a while, he often heard people say in later generations: feudal superstition is unacceptable, and feudal superstition harms others and himself.
He never believed it, after all, fools know what they can't do, who would do it in a normal person? But today he opened his eyes, and sure enough, someone lost his mind and committed such a horrific tragedy.
But Yang Xiu is suing her in-laws to be disobedient and unfilial, and besides, the in-laws did such a ridiculous thing for the good of Yang Xiu and her husband, not subjectively and intentionally, in this era of human feelings, officials will naturally not punish them.
No wonder the Criminal Division and Beiping Mansion are reluctant to try this case, no wonder this Yang Xiu risked his life to come to sue the royal court, it is really difficult to do!
Zhao Zhen felt a little big for a while, and looked at the pitiful Yang Xiu on the ground and said: "Sue your in-laws, this is a disobedient and unfilial act, the emperor of the case, Song Lu, whether he is guilty or not, when the spine cane is twenty, can you think about it?" ”
Yang Xiu's eyes lit up, and she kowtowed happily: "The women are willing!" She knew that what the official said meant was to take this situation, otherwise there would be no twenty-spine rod.
Liu Yu stood on Zhao Zhen's side, whispering to tell the ins and outs of the matter clearly, the little woman in front of him, Yang Xiu, made Zhao Zhen inevitably think of his daughter, if Ling'er encountered this, he was afraid that he would tear the confused in-laws to pieces, right?
When Zhao Zhen heard Liu Yu say: "This woman is extraordinary, she has a heart of great benevolence and great love, although the chances of winning this lawsuit are not great, but she is willing to be the rule of future generations." The whole person turned his head in surprise to look at the woman in front of him who was lying on the bench and gritting his teeth to endure the cane, greatly admiring that this woman was not simple, and even admired Yang Xiu's courage and perseverance.
Sancai gestured vigorously to Zhao Zhen before the execution was completed, and the meaning was very clear whether to let the woman faint before the spine cane, and Zhao Zhen chose to ignore it, Liu Yu sneered disdainfully, causing Zhao Zhen to smile bitterly and shake his head, at this time, stuning Yang Xiu will only make things more troublesome.
The royal road outside Guangyu's shed has been surrounded by water, and the officials of Beiping Mansion have to work hard to maintain order, and at the same time, this news flew away like wings, and even Wang Yuyan, who was in the ban, already knew about it.
Wang Yuyan is the queen of the Middle Palace, the mother of a country in the Great Song Dynasty, and the existence of the mother in the world, so she naturally has to pay great attention to this kind of thing, and Ling'er, the little girl, was also moved by Yang Xiu's behavior, and secretly followed the queen's Fengjia all the way to Guangyu Shed.
When Wang Yuyan's phoenix arrived, the sound of the mountain and tsunami drowned out the voices of Zhao Zhen and Liu Yu, and Sancai trotted over and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother is here......"
"I'm grass...... Why is she here?! ”
Zhao Zhen didn't want Wang Yuyan to appear, because her appearance would inevitably make people feel that the queen sympathized with Yang Xiu, and the punishment was not fair enough.
These two things seem to be small, but they have extraordinary significance to the Great Song Dynasty, no less than starting a war, and Wang Yuyan's arrival caught Zhao Zhen off guard......
In the eyes of the people, the emperor and empress jointly tried this case, which must be fair and just, and will not disappoint everyone.
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, he didn't expect that the arrival of Wang Yuyan, the queen, had pushed the image of the Heavenly Family among the people to another level, and some people had already shed tears of excitement......
"The queen was too sudden, I was caught off guard!"
"Isn't Your Majesty more pleased with this result?"
"And ......"
