Chapter 1439: The Storm is Coming
The hall fell silent again.
Qiu Shenji's case has recently caused a storm in the city, which has affected many people's minds......
If it is said that he broke the law, Qiu Shenji did break the law, first made a big fuss and injured many soldiers, and verbally abused the officials of the imperial court, and then even if the house slave collided with the car of Princess Jinyang, it almost frightened Princess Jinyang, who was already frail and sickly, both of which were first-class crimes.
If it's really more serious, one military distribution is enough.
But the problem is that Qiu Shenji's two charges seem to be excusable if they are studied carefully......
The reason for the big trouble in the military department is because the military department first seized his conformity documents, and delayed assigning him an official position, and it seems normal to make a fuss, and the car that collided with Princess Jinyang's car, more people suspect that someone of them designed to frame him, and the matter is too coincidental.
The emperor thinks that Qiu Shenji despises the court and contempts the imperial family, so it is not too much to punish, on the contrary, if the emperor thinks that there are reasons for these two things, it seems to make sense to open the net and let it fall lightly......
After all, how to deal with it depends on the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart.
His Majesty Li Er did not announce the disposition of Qiu Shenji on the spot, but looked at Sun Fujia, who had been hiding behind the crowd and was silent: "Sun Aiqing, how should Qiu Shenji's case be dealt with according to your opinion?" ”
Sun Fujia was helpless in his heart, Your Majesty, you are the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart, how to deal with it, who dares to say a word? I just want to throw this offended messenger on the head of Wei Chen...... Weichen's hat is small, and he is really under a lot of pressure to resist Qiu Xinggong's resentment.
But whose family is the king or the minister?
He can only do the dirty work and tiring work, and he has to carry the black pot when he finishes it......
He had already prepared his words in his heart, and Sun Fujia said: "Back to Your Majesty, Qiu Shenji made a big fuss in front of the military department, and the car that collided with Princess Jinyang was behind, and the human and material evidence was conclusive and irrefutable. Moreover, Qiu Shenji had already confessed to the law in the prison of Dali Temple, confessed to his crimes, and according to the "Zhenguan Law", he should be punished with the crime of exile for 3,000 miles. ”
The ministers nodded their heads, not much of a surprise. Sun Fujia, as the secretary of Dali Temple, has always been fair and selfless, and this ruling is also strictly in accordance with the "Zhenguan Law", and no one can find fault with it.
Everyone looked at Gao Shilian again, everyone knew the relationship between the Gao family and the Qiu family, if it weren't for the strong support of Qiu Xinggong's father Qiu He when Gao Shilian was in Qiongzhou, not only would he not have the opportunity to come back, but that little life would have to be lost at the ends of the earth full of smoke......
Now that Qiu Shen's achievements are in trouble, how can Gao Shilian sit idly by?
This is not a small crime, once three thousand miles are allocated, it is equivalent to a huge political stain, even if the background is hard, I am afraid that it will be difficult to covet the Sixteenth Wei General of the three products in this life, and it is a Zhongzhou assassin history if he tops the sky.
This is like a bolt from the blue for a young general who is brave and good at fighting from a family......
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Gao Shilian's old face was not wavering, his gray eyebrows trembled without trembling, his eyelids drooped, and he pinched the teacup and sipped slowly, as if he didn't listen to the words of the palace at all, and he didn't have any intention of speaking.
Don't you ask for a favor for Qiu Shenji?
The ministers were puzzled, it stands to reason that with His Majesty Li Er's consistent respect for Gao Shilian, as long as Gao Shilian said a word, at least the crime could be reduced by one degree......
However, something even more miraculous happened, Gao Shilian remained unmoved, but the eldest grandson Wuji jumped out and spoke......
"Your Majesty, although the evidence of what Qiu Shenji committed is conclusive, after all, there is a reason for it, and the military department bears a certain amount of responsibility, and it should not all be blamed on Qiu Shenji, the law is unforgivable but excusable. As for the car that collided with Princess Jinyang...... Fortunately, isn't Princess Jinyang fine? According to the minister's opinion, the distribution of 3,000 li is a bit too heavy, why not demote him to a soldier and allow him to go to the Western Regions to make meritorious contributions? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's tone was unhurried, but it really surprised the ministers.
As Qiu Xinggong's backer, Gao Shilian did not say a word, but Changsun Wuji, the representative of the Guanlong Group, who had always resisted Qiu Xinggong's struggle for military power in the army, pleaded for him?
What the hell is going on......
Not only were the ministers inexplicable, but even His Majesty Li Er was confused.
But just a little bit, everyone understands that there must be some unknown things, such as...... Qiu Xinggong turned his back on his benefactor Gao Shilian and threw himself into the camp of the eldest grandson Wuji?
This is highly likely.
His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy like water.
His face didn't look good that day......
He wanted to pass Sun Fujia's resolution, but it was not his willingness to ignore the eldest grandson Wuji so bluntly. After all, after so many years of love, the eldest grandson Wuji's exploits are almost incomparable, not to mention the family affection of Empress Wende......
Even if it is getting farther and farther away, the affection is still there, and the face is always given to some.
Fang Jun naturally understood His Majesty Li Er's intentions, but he just wanted to give the eldest grandson Wuji a step down, thinking that this step was originally intended to be given to Gao Shilian, who knew that Gao Shilian was indifferent to Qiu Shenji's assignment to the army......
His Majesty Li Er wanted to give face to the eldest grandson Wuji, but Fang Jun didn't plan to give face to the emperor.
"Back to Your Majesty, what Zhao Guogong said does have some truth, but he is a little short-sighted and narrow-minded."
As soon as he spoke, the whole hall exclaimed, listening to this, do you plan to follow Your Majesty?
The eldest grandson Wuji was even more red-faced and angry.
If there was no one beside Fang Jun, he continued: "No matter how great the favor is, it is not more than the law, all the ministers here are the robes of His Majesty, and most of them have followed His Majesty to charge into battle and go to the soup and fire. If so, why do you need the law? The existence of the law is to give everyone a standard of behavior, and must not exceed the standard, even if the prince breaks the law, he should be guilty of the same crime as the common people! Zhao Guogong, as an important minister of the dynasty and His Majesty's humerus, only sees the interests of human favors, disregards the majesty of the criminal law and the justice of the national law, and disdains it. ”
When he said the last sentence, he was already raising his eyebrows, his tone was sonorous, and he was righteous and mighty, as straight as Shang Zhi's Dry Possession and Chu's Qu Yuan Rebirth!
The needles on the main hall could be heard, and the ministers were dumbfounded......
The eldest grandson Wuji almost smoked from his nose!
"Ho" stood up from his seat, pointed at Fang Jun with a trembling halberd, and his anger almost ignited all the gray hair, and shouted: "What a gut!" Bold fanatics, how dare you humiliate such a certain person? When the old man followed His Majesty to the death and charged into battle, you didn't know whose belly you were in! How unreasonable is it to be so arrogant now! The old man is loyal to His Majesty and conscientious to Datang, where is your turn to slander your stinky and undried cowardly baby! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was very angry, but Fang Jun spread his hands and said innocently: "Look at you, the lower official is not wrong, right?" Let's talk about the law being just and rigorous, and you're talking about how it was back then...... The lower officials admire your great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, only you, the seniors, who sacrificed their lives and forgot to follow His Majesty to lay down this country, where is it the turn of our juniors to talk about it again? But credit is one thing, seniority is one thing, and truth is another, you can't always have a lot of credit, so you have to take care of everything, right? ”
Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was so angry that his hair was all open, he hurriedly complained to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty Mingjian, it was you who asked Weichen, and Weichen said this...... You can't let Wechen speak, but Wechen tells lies with a clear conscience, right? As a result, Weichen said it, but Zhao Guogong didn't like to listen to it, and Weichen was aggrieved......"
His Majesty Li Er had a dark face, gritted his teeth, and glared at Fang Jun.
Are you wronged?
You're wronged!
You little bastard, Lao Tzu asked you to speak, did you let you say this?
It just doesn't make sense!
He was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but he saw Sun Fujia also stand up from his seat, slammed it to the ground, and said loudly: "What Fang Shilang said is really the truth of heaven and earth!" Since the law has been established, it is natural that everyone must obey it, and if it is estimated that the favor of the people is powerful, is it not useless? The evidence in Qiu Shenji's case is conclusive and irrefutable, and Weichen implores His Majesty to punish him according to the law! ”
He likes Fang Jun's words to the core!
It's a confidant!
Everyone knows that the law should be just, but when the time comes, how many people can have this awareness? Could it be that he relied on the power and favor to trample on the law, just for his own convenience. He sat in the position of Dali Siqing, and knew how difficult it was to enforce the law impartially?
It's just that he is a fair and selfless character, so he always has a lot of constraints and complaints when he does things.
For example, in the case of Qiu Shenji, the evidence is conclusive and indisputable, so what is there to talk about? It's just a matter of going south or west......
So at this time, Fang Jun said such a thing, he felt the same way, and when he saw that the emperor was about to reprimand Fang Jun, he immediately stood up and expressed his support.
But I didn't know that this made His Majesty Li Er angry...... His throat moved, and he swallowed the words in his mouth forcibly, his square face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and he endured the anger and said angrily: "Then do it, retreat from the dynasty!" ”
Immediately got up and walked away.
The ministers looked at each other, you just left, so what about the banquet?
