Chapter 777: The Dispute of the Laws

Song Shiqing thought about it, and smiled dumbly, since it was a reluctant invitation, it was naturally inconvenient to play it directly, and it was not bad to write a notebook.

"Zhao Huan! Blood relatives! Isn't it better to be three or two untouchables! Zhao Chengyou's hoarse roar behind Zhao Huan reached Zhao Huan's ears.

Zhao Huan looked back in surprise at Zhao Chengyou, who was a dead duck with a hard mouth, this person was very interesting, but he was beaten very badly, with blood at the corner of his mouth, he lay on the ground weakly, and still let out his own roar.

Zhao Huan was surprised by the word Zhao Huan, because this name, since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, no one dared to say it.

Even if it is the great enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin State. In the letters of the country, he didn't dare to call him so, and he was also called Song Yan'er in private.

Zhao Chengyou roared, and when Zhao Huan spit out the two words, Zhao Huan also reacted, only to know that Zhao Chengyou was calling himself.

"Untouchables?" Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Chengyou, since he ascended the throne, few people dared to spit out these two words so arrogantly.

At most, the scholars and ministers call the people, and they seem to be a little noble, even if there is an incident among the displaced people in Tanzhou, all the notes will only write about the refugees, but dare not write about the untouchables.

Zhao Huan completely understood Zhao Chengyou's mentality, and in his heart, he had never even looked at the people.

It's not a pity to die.

"Don't think that if you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want! One day, you will throw away your blood relatives and you will be punished! "Zhao Chengyou is still cursing the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and since he has determined that he wants to die in Ling Chi, he is naturally no longer afraid.

"Add a big disrespect to Zhao Chengyou's crime." Zhao Huan asked, "Song Shaoqing, do you still need evidence for this crime?" Do you need to sign or not? ”

"Plus! Add! Add! Song Shiqing hurriedly said, do you still need evidence?

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Chengyou's appearance and said: "You think that Empress Dowager Meng is to seize power, but in fact, she really just entered Beijing to save you." ”

The Empress Dowager entered Beijing entirely to save Zhao Chengyou and let him live decently, not to seize power as Zhao Chengyou said, Empress Dowager Meng herself is old, and he is the sister-in-law of Emperor Zhao Ji, not Zhao Ji's mother, this Empress Dowager is still called for convenience.

In Zhao Huan's view, Empress Dowager Meng, as a politician, is completely unqualified, she is really a ruthless politician, in order to seize power, Empress Dowager Meng will let Zhao Chengyou go, let him be disposed of by the emperor, and constantly expand his power is the right way.

The official family will go to Yanjing next year, or even go to Shenzhou, and it is imperative to conquer the Jin country three times, which even the beggars in Bianjing know, wouldn't it be better to seize power at that time?

chose to enter Beijing at this time, just to save his righteous son, but unfortunately, Zhao Chengyou still deceived himself self-righteously.

If you want to destroy it, you will make it mad.

On the way back to the palace, Zhao Huan saw the bustling streets of Bianjing, saw the Hongqiao on the Qingming Shanghe map, and saw the bustling royal street.

After all, he didn't come in vain, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty can still light fireworks every year, and their faces are still full of satisfaction and expectations for life.

"What are the people? The people are the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty. Untouchables? Zhao Huan sneered and continued to drive back to the palace.

Not long after returning to Wende Palace, I knew what Song Shiqing wanted to say in prison.

Zhao Huan looked at Song Shiqing's notebook silently and decided not to send it.

Of all the feudal dynasties, the Great Song Emperor had the lowest status.

The root cause of all this is that the Great Song Emperor did not actually control the military power.

The Imperial Emperor seemed to have strengthened the control of military power, and the appointment of civil officials as second officials seemed to have put an end to the scourge of the feudal towns, but in fact it also handed over power to the scholarly bureaucratic class.

How deadly is this?

The case in Song Shiqing's notebook is very clear, this involves an old case of the year, called the Dispute over the Law.

A girl named Ah Yun in Dengzhou, after the death of her parents, Ah Yun was still in the period of filial piety, and was given by her uncle to Wei Da in the same village.

Ah Yun was naturally reluctant to this family business, but he couldn't resist his uncle, and finally ran to Wei's house to kill Wei Da.

Ah Yun, a thirteen-year-old girl, of course did not kill Wei Da, Wei Da reported to the official, and Ah Yun confessed his crime.

In cases where the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive, the prefect of the county sentenced him to death and handed him over to the prefect.

Dengzhou Governor Xu Zun felt that there was something wrong with this case, and Ayun was promised to marry during his filial piety, which was itself a violation of the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and he felt that the crime was not to death, so he transferred the matter to Dali Temple and the trial court for review.

Dali Temple and the Criminal Court (i.e., the Criminal Department) verified that Ayun intended to murder, and that he deserved to die if he killed someone.

At that time, when Song Shenzong reviewed the death penalty, he felt that Ah Yun's crime was not to death, and he personally issued an edict to determine that Ah Yun had surrendered voluntarily, and the crime was reduced to the second degree, and the crime was not to death. 【1】

When the trial court hears this, how can it be willing? refused to enforce the original verdict and still upheld.

At this time, Dali Temple agreed to Song Shenzong's edict and saved Ayun.

The reason is that Dali Siqing has become Xu Zun.

He himself is similar to Zhao Ding, belonging to the officials sent by the court to Dengzhou for gilding and training, and he returned to Beijing for promotion after the expiration of his temporary post. happened to return to Beijing at the end of the period, so he naturally stood with Song Shenzong.

At this time, Yushitai was not happy!

The Imperial History Platform impeached Xu Zun for taking advantage of his position to bend the law for personal gain, and demanded that Ah Yun be executed.

Song Shenzong was dazed by the snowflake-like Zazi, and transferred the Zazi to the Hanlin Academy, where Wang Anshi and Sima Guang discussed what to do about this matter.

Wang Anshi insisted that sin did not lead to death, and Sima Guang firmly believed that Ah Yun deserved to die.

The focus of the controversy is that according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, Ayun should die, according to the emperor's edict, Ayun has the plot of surrendering, Wei Da is not dead, and the crime is not death.

This is the debate over whether the imperial power is higher than the law or the law is higher than the imperial power, so it is called the dispute of the law.

The Song Shenzong Dynasty will discuss this matter, and finally wrote a "can" on Wang Anshi's notebook. It can be regarded as sparing Ah Yun's life. 【2】

However, the trial court was very dissatisfied, and jointly wrote a letter to argue with Wang Anshi, and the officials of the Privy Council and Zhongshu Province stood on the platform of the trial court, and the two sides started a war of words above the temple.

In the end, Song Shenzong was furious and personally issued an edict to pardon Ah Yun's death sentence, which was considered to be the end of the matter. 【3】

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Song Shenzong collapsed, Song Zhezong succeeded to the throne, Song Zhezong's grandmother, the Empress Dowager Gao, listened to the government, controlled the government, and used Sima Guang as the minister.

Sima Guang reopened the case to hear the matter, re-arrested Ayun and beheaded him for public display.

Song Shenzong issued an edict three times, in order to protect a thirteen-year-old girl. In the end, Ah Yun was still cut down by Sima Guang.

This is the Great Song Dynasty, this is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and Song Shiqing wrote a letter, not to ask for a new trial of the case, but to give an explanation to Ayun's descendants.
