Chapter 60: What is the evidence?
Li Yiqian didn't expose her, and briefly told Lin Qingxu and Liu Qu again.
"How does Concubine Ai think this matter should be handled?" Li Yiqian looked at Zhao Qinyue with a smile on his face.
"This ...... The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubines dare not comment on themselves. Zhao Qinyue looked at him in embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter, just if you're gossiping with me, I won't blame you." Li Yiqian smiled and signaled her to say whatever she thought.
"The concubine thinks that the emperor's approach is right." Zhao Qinyue thought for a moment and then said, "Although Liu Qu is your cousin, it is indeed a big crime for him to seriously injure a famous student on the street. If the emperor spares Liuqu this time, if someone does this again in the future, will the emperor punish or not? ”
After glancing at Li Yiqian's face as usual, Zhao Qinyue relieved her heart, and then said: "If you are punished, others will inevitably talk about the matter of Liuqu, and then I am afraid that it will damage the majesty of the emperor, and it is also easy to encourage the arrogance of those who are already arrogant." If there is no punishment, I am afraid that the beaten party will be dissatisfied, and after a long time, I am afraid that chaos will arise. ”
"Concubine Ai really understands what I mean!" Li Yiqian praised sincerely.
In addition to wanting to teach him a lesson, he refused to spare Liu Qu this time, that is, as Zhao Qinyue said, I am afraid that there will be changes among civil officials. Although the rebellion of the civil officials has not been successful for three years, he will definitely reuse the civil officials in the future, and he must not let them have other thoughts about himself now.
Hearing that she had guessed Li Yiqian's mind correctly, Zhao Qinyue was proud.
"It's just that I have a general in the court, and there are still the queen mother and concubine in the harem, it's really ......" Speaking of this, Li Yiqian sighed. Let's not talk about these things. I'm here to see you today. ”
It seems that the emperor is also very jealous of the Liu family, and Zhao Qinyue suddenly found that he saw a big signal. The emperor's words are not so friendly to the Liu family, it seems that he can let his father do something from it. And Liu Qu, hmph, if you can use this incident to make the Liu family lose a son-in-law, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Liu Shiyuan's old thing, as well as Liu Yuyang.
Zhao Qinyue was thinking about how to use this incident to make a profit, but she didn't know that this was Li Yiqian's purpose.
Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Li Yiqian stayed in Cuiyu Palace for a while and said that he still had something to deal with and left.
After he left, Zhao Qinyue wrote a letter to her father and sent her out of the palace.
Although she is grounded, her power in the palace is still there, so there is no difference between normal days except that she cannot enter and leave freely.
On the morning of this day, the news of Lin Yaxin's fall had already spread throughout the harem with the Queen Mother's words. I don't know how many people are happy, how many are worried, and how many regret are regretful.
Two days later, the public court of Dali Temple openly tried the cases of Liu Qu and Lin Qingxu.
It stands to reason that their affairs can only be regarded as a dispute between two ordinary people, although Lin Qingxu is famous, but he has not yet entered the court. It's only because his father is an official that he was brought to the court to say. Therefore, it was not wrong for Li Yiqian to let Dali Temple try the case, and in order to show the importance of officials, Yang Ling of the Criminal Department was also added.
Lin Yaxin and Li Yiqian came to the Lin Mansion where the Dragon Emperor was located early in the morning, and Lin Yaxin was really concerned about the case, and was curious about what Li Yiqian's hole cards were, so they urged him again and again. It's just that it's still early at this time, and Dali Temple is not open to try cases.
"I said I didn't have to come out so early." Looking at Lin Yaxin's look of remorse, Li Yiqian sighed helplessly. How much she wants to lie quietly with Xin'er in her arms now.
"Now that we're out, why don't we go out on the street and play for a while!" Speaking of playing, Lin Yaxin's eyes were shining.
"I knew you had the idea." Although he shook his head, Li Yiqian still couldn't bear to see her lost, so he went out with her. In order to facilitate the viewing of the trial, both of them put on makeup today, so they are not afraid of any trouble outside.
On the street, when they walked to the teahouse, they heard people talking about Lin Qingxu and Liuqu nearby.
"Have you heard? Today, Dali Temple is going to openly try Liuqu! ”
"Of course I know, that rampant and domineering Liu Qu is finally going to clean him up, the emperor is wise!"
"I heard that the son who stopped him last time was seriously injured, I don't know what happened."
"Alas, it is a good fate to be born in a rich family, if I had a general's father, I would definitely be similar to Liu Qu. I think the person who stopped him was too ignorant, knowing that he didn't have the ability to be a hero! A man with a meaty face said with a look of disdain.
He didn't notice that everyone around him walked away as he said this.
The people of China are still kind in nature, and they will always habitually sympathize with the weak for this kind of thing. What's more, Lin Qingxu also wanted to protect the old man at that time, who knew that he would meet an unreasonable little bully.
When Lin Yaxin heard this, she wanted to go to that person to theorize, but Li Yiqian covered her mouth and pulled her into the teahouse.
"Why are you stopping me!" After entering the wing, Li Yiqian let go of her, but Lin Yaxin was very angry.
"If you rush out and have a conflict with him, will you not be able to watch today's trial? Besides, there are so many people who say such things, can you still find them one by one to theorize or not? Li Yiqian explained good-naturedly.
"Humph! Are you also proud that you have a good status so that no one can disobey your orders! Lin Yaxin didn't know what was wrong with her, so she wanted to mess around like this.
Li Yiqian was almost laughed at by Lin Yaxin's words. "yes, I'm proud of who I am. With this identity I can meet you, and with this identity I can protect you. ”
was so forcefully diverted by Li Yiqian, although Lin Yaxin's mind was still a little confused, but his heart had been softened by him.
"You will say these to coax me~" unconsciously, Lin Yaxin was soft and coquettish. slapped Li Yiqian's chest with a powder fist.
"Okay, let's sit down and eat some snacks when we're not angry, and go to Dali Temple when the time is almost up, okay?" Li Yiqian looked at her dotingly.
"Eun, good! Hurry up and let them bring the snacks, I'm hungry! Lin Yaxin looked at Li Yiqian pitifully.
In order to leave the palace early today, she didn't even want to eat breakfast, and she was nagged by Mama Lu for a long time.
"Well, how can I starve my darling! Xiao Wenzi, go ahead. Waving his hand to signal Wen Lin to go down, Li Yiqian pulled Lin Yaxin and said sweet words.
——————
"Your Majesty, it's almost time." Seeing that the two masters had no plans to set off, Wen Lin had to remind him aloud.
"Ahh Yes, yes, go quickly, or you won't be able to catch up! Lin Yaxin threw down the pastry in her hand and was about to go out.
"Wait." Li Yiqian grabbed her. "Look at what you're eating, it's all pastry dregs on the side of your face, how do you get out?"
As he spoke, Li Yiqian took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth for Lin Yaxin.
Sensing his movements, Lin Yaxin was a little shy.
"Alright, let's go."
By the time they arrived at Dali Temple, there were already many people gathered at the door.
Looking at the dense crowd, Li Yiqian frowned.
"Childe, do you want them to arrange it?" Wen Lin saw that Li Yiqian's expression was a little displeased, and hurriedly asked him.
"No need." Dali Siqing is not his person, if he goes to identify himself now, it must be another trouble, and what he hates the most is trouble.
"Xin'er, if you're tired, just tell me, let's go rest for a while and come back." Thinking that Lin Yaxin was a woman, had never practiced martial arts and was pregnant, Li Yiqian advised.
"Got it!" Although Lin Yaxin really wanted to watch the whole process of the trial, she also knew that she was not alone now, and she had to think more about the child in her womb in everything.
In the past two days, officials in the DPRK and China, who hold real power, have made many small moves in private. Some people want to take the opportunity to attack the General's Palace, some people want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits, and some naturally want to expand the impact of the matter. Therefore, this trial is also a game between the factions and Liu Shiyuan, and the outcome depends on the outcome of Liu Qu's treatment.
Soon, Yang Ling and Dali Siqing appeared, and the trial officially began.
There was Liu Qu standing under the hall, Lin Qingxu couldn't get out of bed yet, Lin Yushi's identity was not suitable for coming, so he sent Lin Qingxu's cousin Lin Qingxu to come.
Dali Siqing first read out the details of the recorded case according to the usual practice, and then put forward the statements of both sides, so that everyone present knew it.
"Liuqu, can you admit that the Lin Mansion has pointed out that you deliberately hurt people?" Dali Siqing was the first to speak, after all, this is his territory. Yang Ling has no opinion on this, and he has already said that he is a juror.
"Yes, Lin Qingxu was indeed hit by me! It's just that he should fight! Liu Qu did not refute.
"Oh? I wonder what you mean by that? ”
"Do you think that I should be insulted by him in vain? You must know that I am also the nephew of the current Queen Mother and the emperor's cousin, how can I be humiliated in vain and not retaliate? If he is allowed to get away with it, won't it make my willow canal a joke! Liu Qu said with righteous indignation.
"My lord, what Liu Qu said is not true! When all the people on the street saw it, it was Liu Qu who was riding a horse on a rampant street that day, and almost injured an old man, and the cousin couldn't stand it before he said a few words. But he definitely didn't say anything to make Liu Qu kneel! Lin Qingxi was very angry at Liu Qu's behavior of opening his eyes and lying, and refuted loudly.
"Who said no! When everyone on the street heard it, I had already given the old man silver to grab the medicine to suppress the shock, Lin Qingxu was unforgiving to me, and he had to let me kneel before he would stop! ”
"No way, my cousin is a scholar, and it is impossible for him to do such an indecent thing! You're lying! ”
"Enough! The court is not for you to quarrel, and there is evidence to speak of right and wrong. I wonder what evidence you two have for what you said? Yang Ling didn't want to listen to their quarrel, so he interrupted them directly.
