Chapter 1195: The Third Division
The mountains in the distance have already seen the color of green daisy, but the spring is still cold in Ancheng.
However, today, the world's most heroic city seems to be like a pot of boiling hot water, and countless people and scholars come out of the door and gradually converge in front of the yamen of the criminal department, surrounding the entire street.
The boiling "Fang Jun Murder Case" was held in the lobby of the Criminal Department today by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai "Three Divisions"!
Whether it is the guards who are forbidden in the palace, the Wuhou who arrests the robbers, the patrol of Jingzhao Mansion, and the garrison of the Sixteen Guards are all bowed and unsheathed, and the armor is clear, and they are waiting for the people in the city with their eyes wide open, lest there are those with ill intentions who incite public opinion and take the opportunity to make trouble......
Fang Jun is a celebrity.
Not only is the official in charge of Jingzhao Mansion in a high position, but he is also the son of Zaifu and the son-in-law of the emperor, and he is also a brave and invincible famous general, a talented poet and a genius, with both civil and military skills, and high morality! The people of Guanzhong are all favored by it, and no one does not preach the benevolence of Fang Jun, making his reputation above board, as if he is already a leader among the young generation of officials.
But now, it is Jing Zhaoyin, who has the reputation of "Ten Thousand Buddhas", who is involved in a murder case......
The common people were simple and simple, and in this age of extremely low literacy, their simple minds trusted only their own judgment. And the reason for judging things is very simple: bad guys don't do good things, and good people definitely don't do bad things!
You ask Fang Jun if he is a good guy or a bad guy?
Even a three-year-old doll will yell at you: "He should be Fang Erlang every day!" ”
How could a good official like Fang Jun, who is dedicated to the public and loves the people, be involved in the murder?
The people didn't believe it, and Fang Jun never confessed his guilt, and they all thought that Fang Jun had been framed and slandered by political enemies and was wronged.
When the two prison inscriptions were born and widely circulated among the people, public opinion was raging and the people were furious!
is still the same sentence, how could a great talent like Fang Jun, who has never been seen since ancient times, do such a thing that hurts nature and violates the law of the country?
"The heavy snow presses the green pine, and the green pine is straight and ......"
"I smiled at the sky from the horizontal knife, and went to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun ......"
Even the scholars of the world who came to Beijing to prepare for the spring festival couldn't sit still!
Listen!
If it weren't for the great grievances, how could such a majestic and magnificent poem be forged with full of anger?
Won't you open your eyes and see the princes of the court?
Will such a loyal and honest official be framed and slandered by you, and will have to be convicted of murder, so as to cut off that splendid future?
The people and scholars were indignant, they didn't dare to openly avenge Fang Jun, but they could spontaneously come to the criminal department to silently express their dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts!
Finally, His Majesty, who was in the Taiji Palace, heard the anger from the people, and held the "Three Divisions" of the highest regulation of the Tang Dynasty to try Fang Jun's case.
In the eyes of the people, this is an opportunity set up to clear Fang Jun's grievances. The people have a scale in their hearts, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the rulers are clear and the law is strict, even as the supreme emperor in the world, His Majesty will be honest and wrong in the face of Wei Zheng's merciless admonition, Jun Ming and virtuous, this is the glory of the prosperous era!
Even if there are one or two filthy villains in the DPRK who commit such insidious and treacherous moves, most of them are honest and honest officials. After the trial of the "three divisions", Fang Erlang will inevitably be returned to his innocence!
Therefore, the people and scholars all flocked to the penal department, waiting to receive the results of the trial as soon as possible......
*****
In the main hall of the Criminal Department, the officials of the three law divisions gathered together.
Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Liu Xun, the secretary of the imperial history, and the "three envoys" were all present.
"Imperial History Zhongcheng" was established during the Qin Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was the deputy official of the Imperial History Doctor, or the law enforcement in the Imperial History, with a rank of thousands of stones. Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty abolished the imperial history doctor, and took the imperial history Zhongcheng as the chief of the imperial history platform, and the successive dynasties followed, but the official name changed from time to time: Cao Cao once changed the imperial history Zhongcheng to the palace, and corrected the hundred officials and courts; The Northern Wei Dynasty was also renamed Lieutenant. By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the political situation was unstable and turbulent, and the imperial historian was abandoned from time to time, and even if this official position was established, it was often absent.
Therefore, in the imperial history, Cheng Shi is the chief of the imperial history platform. Sui placed the imperial historian, did not place the imperial history in the Cheng, the Tang Dynasty established the country, changed the imperial history in the middle of the Cheng and the Zhishu to serve the imperial history, and the imperial history of the doctor, but still as the highest official of the imperial history of the executive affairs, the imperial history of the doctor is more symbolic.
It wasn't until Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne as the emperor and avoided the emperor's name that he changed the imperial history back to the imperial history Zhongcheng, but this is a later story......
Sun Fujia is in the center, Liu Dewei is on the left, and Liu Xun is on the right, and the three of them occupy the main position, and the majesty is solemn. Wei Yijie, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Yunji, the right attendant, accompanied the last seat, a total of five people, forming the main body of today's trial.
However, the case has a far-reaching impact and is of a bad nature, the deceased is the eldest grandson Wuji's son-in-law, and the suspect is the son of Fang Xuanling, who has already affected the interests of the Quartet.
Outside the lobby, a noisy and noisy voice faintly came......
Sun Fujia frowned slightly, turned around slightly, and said to Liu Dewei beside him: "There are many people and scholars outside, and once there is a deviation in the trial of the case, it is very easy to cause public opinion to be chaotic, leading to serious consequences. This place is the yamen of the criminal department, why didn't Liu Shangshu send the officials to disperse them all, just in case? ”
Liu Dewei was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand and punch Sun Fujia hard......
Even if you want to cheat someone, don't be so obvious, okay, are you insulting my IQ or are you deliberately amusing me?
Even the emperor acquiesced in the gathering of these people and scholars outside the yamen of the criminal department, and you asked me to disperse them...... If it causes a conflict, do I still want this hat?
Liu Dewei glanced at Sun Fujia, and said angrily: "How many people are there in the Criminal Department?" When such a few people go out, they will be surrounded all of a sudden. Besides, there is a lot of misunderstanding about the Criminal Department in the outside world now, and it's better not to disperse it, but once you go, you will be caught and made trouble in front of the traitorous ministers. However, the imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory have always been honest and honest, with an excellent reputation, and the people are very impressed, so why not let Liu Yushi send the Imperial History to persuade the people and scholars to disperse? ”
Liu Xun rolled his eyes and said lightly: "Yushitai is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, where do you have the experience of making great friends with the people?" Most of the officials of the Criminal Department are from the people, and they are closer to the people, and the people must believe in them more. ”
Liu Xun didn't fall for Liu Dewei, not only did he refuse neatly, but he kicked the ball back by the way......
Liu Dewei's eyelids jumped and he held back his anger.
!
What does it mean that the officials of the Criminal Department come from the people and are closer to the people?
You might as well just say that the officials who dislike the Criminal Department are a bunch of mud legs......
The three of them muttered a few words, anyway, they wanted to harm others when they were idle, and it didn't matter if they didn't succeed, so they all stopped talking and kept silent.
Leaning slightly, a servant walked in quickly outside the door, and said respectfully: "The hour has come." ”
Sun Fujia nodded, coughed and cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "The case of the murder of the eldest grandson is now being tried by the three law divisions. Bring someone to the court! ”
"No!"
Then several officials in the hall answered and went to the prison to pick up people.
After a while, Fang Jun, who was dressed in regular clothes and full of energy, was brought to the lobby.
Fang Junxin walked inside, stood in the hall steadily, first bowed to the three chief judges, and then saluted the bigwigs on the side, and then stood up straight, facing the "three envoys" of the main position with a calm expression.
Sun Fujia glanced at Fang Jun and said loudly: "Fang Jun, about the murder of the eldest grandson, can you plead guilty?" ”
Fang Jun pursed his lips and was speechless for a while......
Li Xiaogong on the side sighed slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. He has had a lot of contact with Fang Jun, and he knows how arrogant this seemingly irascible and casual young man is in his bones! It is a kind of pride that seems to stand above the clouds and look down on all beings, and it is a kind of courage that has the ambition of the world in mind!
But such a young man who was proud to the bone had to obey His Majesty's will and bow down and confess his sins......
Wei Zheng, who has always been famous for his uprightness, closed his eyes and recuperated in the old god Wei Zheng, his gray eyebrows did not move, Fang Jun deserved it, or was framed, it seemed that everything in front of him had nothing to do with him......
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ling Hude smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his heart was very open!
Didn't you, boy, humiliate me again and again? Now see what happens to you! The entire Guanlong Group has been fully launched, and countless favors and interests have flowed to the five officials in charge of the trial of the "Three Law Divisions", plus the Jiangnan Shi clan who have fallen into the well, and the Shandong family who sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, the overall situation has been decided!
Just wait and see how you, the "thousand-mile horse of the Fang family", fall from the clouds to the dust, and how you can be trampled on like ants!
There was silence in the lobby.
No matter what camp everyone in the hall is in, they all know in their hearts that the Fang family will definitely be condemned today......
Since it is irretrievable, everyone is naturally happy to give Fang Jun some time, after all, even if he loses his official position and is exiled to the army, Fang Jun is still the same mallet, and he will definitely not wag his tail and beg for mercy to anyone because he does not have an official title......
Everyone was waiting for Fang Jun to confess.
Fang Jun stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, his face changing, and his heart wandering.
Is it to follow the wishes of His Majesty Li Er and bow down and confess his guilt, waiting for subsequent compensation?
Or do you follow your own heart, even if you have a sword and axe, you have to resist to the end?
After a long time, Fang Juncai slowly exhaled.
Looking around at the people in the hall, they are either full of sympathy and sighing or gloating triumphantly, and all kinds of postures are in full view.
