Chapter 37: A Little Gamble (Part II)
Li Chenghai coughed suddenly, and the official on the side hurriedly came over to help him pat his back, and only stopped after a while.
Seeing this, Zhang Mingyue smiled and said:
"That's what Li Zhongtang said."
Then he asked Zhao Tingzhu, who had not spoken all this time
"Lord Zhao has been in charge of Dali Temple for many years, according to Lord Zhao's opinion, how should this matter be handled according to my Dazheng law?"
When Zhao Tingzhu heard Zhang Mingyue ask, he simply glanced at everyone present and said:
"If you really want to go according to the procedure, you must take the suspect into custody and open the trial, and there were also guards from Zhaoxianmen as eyewitnesses last night, just find them for questioning."
Lan Ziyi heard the "detention of suspects" and his heart fluttered.
This is Yang Zhi says:
"Our first recital this morning was to ask for the Hou to be taken into custody, but the celebrant returned it."
Long Father-in-law says:
"You can't punish a doctor, you can't be a villain, Wei Hou is my grand hall and pavilion marquis, how can you say that you will be detained?"
杜畿 says:
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If just because of the title of Marquis of Wei can allow him to escape the Taisho Law, then wouldn't the world be chaotic? ”
At this time, Zhao Tingzhu said:
"Lord Du doesn't need to say it so exaggeratedly, if he really violates the criminal law, the title of Marquis of Wei can indeed exonerate Marquis Wei."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present turned their eyes to Zhao Tingzhu, especially Gonggong Long and Zhang Mingyue, both of whom looked at Zhao Tingzhu with complicated eyes, as if they couldn't figure out what this Dali Siqing wanted to do.
Zhao Tingzhu ignored the eyes of others, and continued:
"I see all kinds of case files submitted from all over the country every day in Dali Temple, many of which have problems in the trial, although Dali Temple will remand the problematic cases for retrial, but this time and again, many people died in the front room of the church for various reasons. I believe that this kind of thing is not strange to all of you, but as a Dali Temple, how can I watch this kind of thing happen all the time, and it is my duty to return the innocence of innocent people in the world, and it is a thing to be able to do a good job, and it is even more so to do things that happen under my nose. Wei Hou is young, he has just entered the capital, what I saw with my own eyes today is definitely not an arrogant and domineering gentleman, even if he really urges the horse to go to the imperial bridge, it will not be intentional, unintentional, and the sentence will be lenient. Although Emperor Gaozu had an edict to break into the palace with those who went to the imperial bridge, even when Emperor Gao was alive, except for those who really planned to break into the palace and rebel, most of them were punished lightly when this kind of thing happened. A few adults put down everything in their hands early this morning and entered the palace with great interest, just to catch the inexplicable crime of Wei Hou breaking into the palace gate at night, Ting Zhu thought that several adults were making a big fuss. ”
These words can be described as ruthless, and the atmosphere of the sword and sword shadow just now disappeared a lot in an instant.
Du Ji and Yang Zhi listened to the old face flushed, and fidgeted in the chair,
Li Chenghai is still the same, he seems to be asleep but not asleep, he seems to be awake but not awake, and he can't see what kind of demeanor he is.
Zhang Mingyue and Father-in-law Yu just picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip,
Grandpa Long smiled,
Needless to say, Lan Ziyi said that when someone said such fair words, he was almost moved to tears.
But the matter obviously can't end like this, Yang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and asked rhetorically:
"Lord Zhao! According to what you say, the rule set by Emperor Gao is that a piece of waste paper is worthless? Can you tell from the face that he didn't mean it? That's how Lord Zhao took charge of Dali Temple? ”
Zhao Tingzhu smiled bitterly, took a sip of tea, and said:
"I also said that I just want to judge the case well, I don't want people to be wronged, and other things are definitely not something that this official can talk about wantonly."
Although he was questioned by Yang Zhi, after Zhao Tingzhu said this, the atmosphere in the room could not return to the track of criticizing Lan Ziyi.
Du Ji also felt the change, and said in a soothing tone:
"Since there are witnesses, then call them and ask them. Father-in-law Yu, please let the gatekeeper of the Zhaoxian Gate last night come over and testify. ”
Father-in-law Yu put down the tea bowl and said:
"I, Taicheng Guard, guard the palace city, is the face of the emperor, how can I say that I will call the criminal department?"
杨脂 says:
"Father-in-law Yu just said that whatever the result of today's trial is, it will be whatever the result is, and he will not intervene, why is he not cooperating with the trial now?"
Fair Fish:
"Lord Yang, your case has not been cleared up, how can I cooperate?"
Yang Zhi said:
"Now it's just to get the case clear, so I have to ask my father-in-law to call someone over, let's ask, this is also to maintain Emperor Gao's law, how can it break the emperor's face?"
Father-in-law Yu looked at Yang Zhi and sneered:
"Taichengwei has its own rules of Taichengwei, even if the rules are really broken, our Taicheng's own admiral yamen will finally report to the emperor for trial, which will be the turn of the outer court to judge."
Yang Zhi listened and said:
"Father-in-law Yu, if you say that, this case will not be able to be tried."
At this time, Grandpa Long said:
"Lord Yang, the so-called Wei Hou breaking into the palace gate at night is not a case, if you have to be tried, and now the witness is involved in the guards of Taicheng, then hand over this matter to the inner court for trial."
Yang Zhi said:
"How can this work?"
Grandpa Long to:
"Lord Yang can't trust us eunuchs?"
Yang Zhi was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
杜畿 says:
"Of course your fathers-in-law can be trusted, but this matter is very important, it involves King De, and it is only handled by the inner court, but I am afraid that the government and the opposition will feel that this is a dark box operation."
Long Gong Justice:
"What do you mean by Lord Du?"
杜畿 says:
"The emperor has been sick in bed for 20 years, since the prince entered the East Palace, every year the home field has been handled by the prince, why did he suddenly change to King De this year?"
Gonggong Long looked at Du Ji and said:
"The emperor has a will, and the miscellaneous family only knows how to do things well for the emperor wholeheartedly. Whether it is the crown prince or the king of De, they are the flesh and blood of the emperor, and whoever goes to the field does not represent the emperor? ”
Du Ji said:
"The young and the old are orderly, respectful and inferior. The crown prince is the prince, and when the time comes, the major affairs that are in line with the people's will should be handled by the prince, and the king of Germany is only a vassal king, how can he replace the position of the prince? ”
Grandpa Long asked rhetorically:
"Lord Du is thinking that King De does not have the ability to take the land for the emperor?"
杜畿 says:
"No, I think King De is not qualified to replace the emperor at all."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense again. Gonggong Long and Du Ji looked at each other,-for-tat, and did not give in to each other.
At this time, Yang Zhi said:
"The prince is the prince of a country, he is the world, and he can stabilize the people's hearts and consolidate the country by taking the opportunity of his hometown. Now how can the people of the world explain to King De? ”
Grandpa Long asked:
"Explain what?"
Yang Zhi said:
"Naturally, it is said that King De traveled to replace the emperor's homeland. The crown prince is the prince of Taisho, why don't you participate in this event in person. ”
Grandpa Long to:
"As I said just now, both the crown prince and King De are the emperor's own flesh and blood, and whoever goes to the field represents the emperor."
Yang Zhi said:
"But the crown prince is the prince of the country, and he will be the son of heaven in the future."
Long Gong Justice:
"The two adults said a thousand things and ten thousand, all of them want to say that this matter must be the prince, right? King De is indeed young, but it is precisely because of his youth that he has to train more and become the prince's right-hand man in the future. Ordinary people still know how to fight brothers, but now that the royal family is withering and the blood is thin, it is not easy for the prince and the king to take care of each other, but you are rejecting the king from the temple because of some red tape, what is the intention? ”
Du Ji took over and said:
"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two tigers in the mountains. Ritual sacrifice, the artifact of the country, how can the artifact be faked in the hands of others because of the love of the little brotherhood? Since ancient times, the prince has been elder, and he has been in charge of the country for many years, so he should inherit the temple, perform ceremonies for the emperor, and sacrifice heaven and earth. Now Gonggong Long wants to use the excuse of brotherhood to let King De do his thing, breaking the rules of order for the young and old, and asking me what my heart is, I want to say that my heart can be learned, the sun and the moon can be proven, and I am for the sake of the Taizheng country and the mountains and society for thousands of generations. ”
Father-in-law Long said without concessions:
"Only the virtuous person can rely on it, and the king of virtue can just show his virtue to the people of the world, which is obviously a good thing, and Lord Du has to mess around here."
Du Ji asked:
"If King De is really a virtuous and noble guard, what should he say? The palace staff can do whatever they want and break into the palace gate at night? ”
