Cai Cong received the order and ran out of thirty miles in one go, Li Jing sent a letter asking for help, saying that there were gods who put corpses in coffins to block the way, and hundreds of people in the army were poisoned and fell to the ground in one day, and he couldn't crack the methods of these gods, and these gods named and wanted to find Cai Cong.

Li Shimin was also very jealous of these gods, and sent Cai Cong to a will, asking Cai Cong to solve the matter, and it was the kind that was resolved peacefully. Li Shimin was very afraid of the kind of tripod that Cai Cong said, and even took away the tripod in the palace tomorrow on the day he heard Cai Cong talk about it, and he couldn't appear around him.

Cai Cong was full of contempt for this group of people, and thought that no one could see through it with a little trick. After Cai Cong came back, he made a map and drew in circles, and the nest of this group of people was circled by Cai Cong in several places, and it was there. This time he was determined to send the gang on their way and let them die in madness.

Early the next morning, Luoyang's recital folded to the desk of Shangshu Zuocheng Di Xiaoxu, last year Li Shimin said that the left and right servants shot the prime minister's major affairs, for the country to elect meritocracy, and these details should be done by Shangshu left and right, so the rights were divided.

Di Xiaoxu watched the twists and turns, stared at his eyes and blew his beard, and even turned red with anger. He took the door he pushed open and said: "Fang Xiang is now pampered and arrogant, and even the servants under the door dare to force officials to death in public, you and Wuji Gong are afraid that they have not been so majestic, right?" ”

Fang Xuanling frowned, who dared to be so bold, even his servants were so flamboyant. But he couldn't think of it, there were many powerful people with bad conduct, but he really hadn't seen servants give up like this.

After taking the recital, he read the recital calmly as water, and his joy and anger were invisible. said to Di Xiaoxu: "Even if Lu Rong has no way to teach his son, it should be a matter of the imperial court, the official wants to enter the palace to face the saint, you and the people of the house should discuss how to convict, be fast, Your Majesty will soon summon you and others." ”

In the past two years, Li Shimin has been lightly conscripted, lightly taxed, and lightly punished, and he has no calculation for killing people on the battlefield, so he must think twice about sentencing a death row prisoner and solicit opinions from various parties before making a decision.

Judging from the description of the twist, this Chen Yi originally intended to export evil anger for the master's family, and accidentally forced Lu Rong, a petty official, to death. Lu Rong's death was not Chen Yi's original intention, maybe Li Shimin would be lenient.

He asked Di Xiaoxu and Zhongshu to study and judge, that is, to give Li Shimin a reason to kill when Li Shimin didn't want to kill.

Not long after Fang Xuanling left, the entire Shangshu Province exploded, and not only the people in the Zhongshu House were talking, but other officials were also talking about it after learning about it.

Roughly speaking, there are two kinds of speech, one is to strangle Chen Yi, exile his whole family, and then punish Cai Cong for the crime of being unable to discipline.

The second is to strangle Chen Yi's family, and then punish Cai Cong for arson.

As for the stupid Erleng in the military, when the onlookers called Lu Rong to die too fast and too cheap, this kind of remark was directly ignored by others.

Li Shimin was 'furious', and ordered Shangshu to leave and right and the scholars in the middle school to meet him.

"The prestige of the country is in the Ming Dynasty, this is the weight of a country, and now the ugly people are tired of the official death, what do the secretaries think should be handled?"

"Officials, governing the public, relying on their authority, coupled with virtue, are the Quartet of Jun'an, and they are in power. The law is the root of the country, and the rules of the square circle are salty. Now Lu Rong lost his virtue, and the disaster added to his body, this is his own blame, the minister thought that he should be lightly punished, sentenced to hang his head, and his family can be matched with the frontier. ”

"As Lord Shangguan said, officials also rule the people. Now that officials are killing slaves at the hands of slaves, and there is no clear code for heavy punishments, will everyone follow suit in the future? Relatives of officials. Besides, Tang Luyun killed the official, and his wife and children were guilty of the same crime, could it be that Lord Shangguan wanted to change the law of the Tang Dynasty? ”

"No, no, Lu Rong died at the hands of slaves, but self-judged. Although Chen Yi did not kill anyone, the poison of his tongue was all due to the authority of the master's family, and the ministers thought that they should gouge out their tongue, prick their eyes, and kill them. His wife and children are not guilty, but the master's family should be severely punished, and his master's family has no way to discipline them. ”

"If it is not appropriate, it should be killed all over the house to sue all the people, and those who kill officials will not be forgiven. If not, wouldn't it be as good as the end of the Han Dynasty, where everyone was proud of killing officials on the street? ”

Di Xiaoxu was the leader who advocated sin and his wife and children to threaten the world, so that the people did not dare to sin easily. And Shangguan Yi is the leader who advocates the rule of man, since Lu Rong is at fault first, then the killing is excusable, and his wife and children should not be affected.

The two sides quarreled endlessly, but it was their consensus to kill Chen Yi, and they would never let Chen Yi live.

Li Shimin listened to everyone's opinions, and he himself fell into contemplation, the rule of law and the rule of man, the two are very conflicting, and he has no answer for a while.

"Xuan Ling has been silent, I don't know what to think?" Li Shimin saw that Fang Xuanling had not spoken, so he wanted to ask his opinion.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers thought that there were many criminals in this case, and the first one was this Lu Shuang, whose malicious heart was known to everyone, and his father was tired to death because of lust. The two are Luoyang assassins, and when they see the evil in front and do not stop it, they have lost their official roots and deserve to be guilty. Yan Dong, the chief attendant of the palace of the three, covered his gaffes, which made Chen Yi think that he was not guilty. The fourth is Chen Yi, the crime of killing officials is also unforgivable, and it should be strangled according to the law of the country. ”

Before Fang Xuanling's words were finished, Di Xiaoxu hurriedly asked, "What Lord Fang said, why don't you see Cai Cong's crime and how Chen Yi's family should be guilty?" ”

"Because of what sin is the Marquis of Chang'an? This matter was the result of the indulgence of Stocky and Yan Dong, and had nothing to do with him. Chen Yi's actions are a great crime, but the original intention is just to vent his anger for the Lord's family, and this is a righteous servant. Killing is a clear punishment, not sinning against wives and children is to sue the world, and the fault of loyal and righteous people is not as good as that of wives and children. Master Di, it is not enough to kill blindly, you should be reasonable and moderate, and let the people of the world believe that Fang is the right way.

Chen Yi is dead, and the people of the world should know his way of death, and naturally they also know that the laws are strict and cannot be trampled on. Your Majesty's opinion is a minister's opinion, please make your Majesty's decision. ”

"There are few mistakes in the judgment of the five flowers, today the people of the Zhushe and the left and right Cheng and Xuan Ling have their own words, it is rare to find it since the founding of the country, the secretaries will write the judgment, and I will make a decision after reading it."

After that, Li Shimin asked people to send paper, pen and ink to the ministers and asked them to write it down on the spot.

There is one thing Li Shimin and the ministers don't know, on the day of Lu Rong's death, the Lu family carried the coffin to the Zheng Mansion to make trouble, and after being dispersed by the rushing stock, dozens of people rushed into the Zheng family with knives at night in anger, and were killed by Huang Deng and Taibai Lou's people, and a large number of people died.

The stocky second letter has not yet arrived, otherwise this case would not be so easy to conclude now.

Li Shimin made a decision after reading everyone's verdicts, Chen Yi made a decision, his wife and children were assigned to Lingnan Dao, Lu Shuang went to his scholar's fame, and he was whipped thirty.

Li Shimin's sentence was acceptable to everyone, but Cai Cong was left out of the matter, which made some people who had opinions about Cai Cong very unhappy.

Don't worry, everyone, tomorrow will be the third department, tonight to practice all night, take time from others to practice to catch up with a chapter, tonight is the most torturous night, the day after tomorrow to resume two more.

(End of chapter)
