Chapter 884 agreed

The question of whether there was a miscarriage of justice in the original judgment has given way to the question of whether the Sangju judge obstructed the course of justice.

Secondly, Dali Temple's rejection of Zhou Qing's reversal of the case, is it a judgment reached in strict accordance with the law, or does it indeed accept benefits?

In addition to bribery, does Dali Temple have "higher instructions" from other related sources? Are there more powerful forces that are trying to interfere with the justice of the Great Song Dynasty?

If there is, it is a big problem of "landslide"!

Quan knows Kaifeng Mansion, it is Su You's brother Su Song.

Su Song and his entourage returned to Tokyo from Liao, and Zhao Ji gave a banquet in the Vertical Arch Hall to reward the meritorious ministers.

At the banquet, Zhao Ji commended Su Song for his fearless hard work, trekking through mountains and rivers, and successfully completing the task. Prime Minister Wu Chong also praised Su Song for his extensive knowledge and shrewdness, and his answer was very appropriate in the Liao people's difficulties about the winter solstice.

After everyone dispersed, Zhao Ji left Wu Chong: "The ancients said: 'Lu Yao knows horsepower, and sees people's hearts for a long time. 'Zirong is a human being, I know. ”

"Li Ding's matter, he refused to resist his face, and he did not avoid the punishment of the axe, which shows that he is loyal and upright; degraded Zhejiang, relieved the injured and injured, and was not greedy for a single dollar and a meter, it can be seen that he is honest and loves the people; Ren envoy went to Liao, was quick-witted, and was not afraid of hardships, which shows that he fulfilled his duties. ”

"Aiqing thinks that it is more appropriate for him to come back this time, with what position?"

Wu Chong replied: "Your Majesty, Su Zirong has learned five cars, and he has passed through the present and Bogu." Through hundreds of schools of history, he knows everything, and he is also good at calculating the algorithm. It is indispensable to cultivate history and talents. I want to ask him to come back to the Bureau. ”

Seeing that Wu Chong didn't know what he meant, Shenzong said bluntly: "Now that Kaifeng Mansion Yin is vacant, I want to order Su Zirong to take up this important position to be the master of Anjing." ”

Wu Chong suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "The minister is worried, and the minister will arrange the house to draw up the purpose." ”

Su Song enforces the law strictly and listens sensitively. After only half a year in office, Kaifeng was in good order, the four people were happy, each lived in peace, and the Beijing division was governed.

The case fell to Kaifeng Mansion, and the ins and outs of the investigation were quickly clarified.

Chen Anmin, the presiding judge who was in charge of trying the case in Xiangzhou, has now moved to another official, and when he heard that Zhou Qing was refuting the case, he was very panicked, worried that he would be held accountable, so he hurriedly "went to Jingshi and went to know him for help."

wrote a letter to Pan Kai, who had been promoted to the judge of Xiangzhou: "The big thing is not good. It is advisable to take care of the legal department by yourself. ”

Pan Kai immediately wiped out the family property, brought Kaifeng, and dredged the relationship.

There happened to be a Xiangzhou man named Gao Zai, who was on an errand in Sinong Temple, and Pan Kai asked the villagers to find a way for him.

Gao Zaihe took a fancy to the goods brought by Pan Kai, patted his chest and said that he knew the judge of Dali Temple, and this matter was on him.

Somehow the news leaked out of this matter, and it was heard by the Imperial City Division, and it was immediately reported to the emperor.

However, during the review, Kaifeng Mansion also found a very funny situation: this Gao Zai, who was responsible for dredging the joints, was a liar and did not send the money to Dali Temple at all, but swallowed it himself.

The officials of Dali Temple also said that they had never seen Pan Kai, and the so-called "bribing Dali with more than 3,000 people" was just a rumor.

In this way, the retrial of Dali Temple was not bought by the outside world, and it is indeed an objective ruling. To say that Dali Temple collects money and perverts the law, the chain of evidence is incomplete.

Kaifeng Mansion dug three feet into the ground and found no more evidence of bribery, only found a letter from Chen Anmin to Pan Kaida, explaining that he had an intention to interfere with the judiciary, but the crime was blackened.

The judgment of Dali Temple has its own reason, and there is no judicial **.

However, at this time, Cai did jump out and stated in the previous chapter, stating that this case involves many officials, even ministers, so the case should be transferred to the Yushitai for trial!

Why? Because of the background of the original trial judge Chen Anmin at that time, it was not simple!

Chen Anmin's nephew is Wen Jifu, a judge of Dali Temple.

Wen Jifu is the son of Wen Yanbo, a veteran of the Three Dynasties.

Moreover, he is also the prime minister of the dynasty and the son-in-law of Wu Chong!

Therefore, this matter is even the minister, and the level of Kaifeng Mansion is definitely not enough, and the case must be transferred to the Yushitai for trial.

Zhao Ji issued an edict: "The officials of Xiangzhou who have recently descended to the state of Xiang, and asked for the death penalty in the Fa Temple, because of the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, which has something to do with the Fa Temple Day, and I am afraid that the upper and lower levels will be jealous and will not be impeached to the fullest, so that the traitors will be spared." It is advisable to transfer it to the Imperial Historical Observatory. ”

So the case escalated again, this time from a case about judicial fairness, to an "edict case".

Yushitai Prison was the interrogation institution for major cases and the permanent institution of the Song Dynasty Imperial Prison.

In the Song Dynasty, the establishment of edicts or the transfer of cases to edicts for trial were usually major and important cases, or involving officials. The emperor will approve and issue the edict, and the emperor will be directly responsible for the final result.

So far, the case has become a big case registered by the emperor and personally supervised by him.

However, the Yushitai interrogated for more than 10 days, and the confession of the criminal was the same as that of the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison. So the second prime minister, Wang Qi, asked Shenzong to let Cai Qu participate in the interrogation together.

If Wu Chong was present at the time, this proposal would inevitably be rejected, but coincidentally, Wu Chong "happened" to be unwell that day and did not come to work.

So this proposal was passed in the Chinese book, and Zhao Ji also agreed, and Cai did become the presiding officer of the case.

Zhao Zhao, "with the imperial history".

Cai did send Liu Zhonggong, the chief of Dali Temple, to arrest the judges Dou Ping, Zhou Xiaogong and other cadres who had judged the case earlier.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that was quite polite to civil officials, and it was not a scholar or a doctor. As long as the civil officials did not rebel and abandon the city, basically they were not killed.

If they are arrested, they will be treated with courtesy, and they will not be punished easily, so these people are still a little decent in Kaifeng Mansion and Yushitai.

After more than ten days of interrogation, Yu Shitai still couldn't get the confession he wanted.

It wasn't until Cai Qu presided over the trial that things changed significantly.

Cai really doesn't care about these at all, and there are ways to kill you.

……

Zhao Ji didn't expect that Wu Chong would pick this time to express his dissatisfaction with Yushitai.

Yuan Jiang, the governor of the political affairs, hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty, the one who admonishes Taiwan, the minister of the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, has the right to hear about things, the mistakes of the lord, the flaws of the government, the traitorous party of the ministers, and the suffering of the people. Words can be used, not nonsense; Order or not, do not change for what has been done. ”

"Even if what you hear is not true, you can still tolerate it, and this ancestor Kai is worried about the road."

"However, the ministers of Taiwan should be upright and straightforward, and they should not preset the situation and ask for it."

"In the past, the ministers of Taiwan wanted to be strong, and they did not need to be powerful to impeach. Today's Taiwan admonition is proud of impeaching important officials and overthrowing important officials. ”

"It is not necessary to ask whether there is any deviation in agreement, not to ask whether it is high or low; But is it a mistake to ask if it is appropriate to ask about its position? Otherwise, wouldn't Taiwan admonishment become a tool for party contention? ”

"The weight of Taiwan's admonition must be handled by upright ministers, but please think carefully about it."

Zhao Ji probably understood the grievances of the courtiers, and quickly broke the topic back: "Yuan Aiqing's serious words, I know." But today, we will discuss the affairs of Jiaozhi. Then let's set a tone first, that is, the move of the ministers of Jiaozhi Road is a sudden encounter with the enemy on the way to escort the enemy, and the generals will resist the capture fiercely, and they will do their best, and they should be rewarded. But the roadside ministers, not to be effective, and to be quiet? ”

The ministers arched their hands: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Zhao Ji nodded: "So many people are rewarded for their merits, and the book is drawn up, but Su You organized sea trade in Liangzhejiang Road before, and he didn't see his merits until the beginning of the year, and he has not been rewarded. ”

"Now he is a scholar of the Guanwen Palace with Wang Shao, according to Li Shunju's report, between the military and the government, there may be a quarrel, so he will add a big word, promote the scholar of the Hedian Temple, and control Wang Shao, so as to show that the ancestors are the way of literature and martial arts!"

The great scholars of the Great Song Dynasty only have the scholars of the Guanbundian University, the Scholar of the Senior Minister's Hall and the Scholar of the Baohedian University.

Kanbunden University Scholar, that is from the second grade, the prime minister retired can only be used.

And the Bolhol Temple Scholar is now the third grade.

Previously, Su You's Guanwen Hall bachelor was promoted from the third grade, a big character, to a higher level.

In fact, Su You's prince and young officials have long been from the second grade, and the founding county prince is even more second-grade, but the path of the palace bachelor is more expensive than the first two, which is a sign of prestige of the government and the opposition.
