Chapter 564: Take a step back
Because as far as the system of the Tang Dynasty is concerned, the emperor cannot personally try the case, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, whether it is Li Chengqian's case or Li Ke's case, it is not the emperor's personal review, and it must be handed over to the relevant institutions.
And generally this kind of major criminal case, it is tried by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, if it is a major case of rebellion, the emperor personally appoints the minister to try it, but because Zhang Ming is the imperial historian, Han Ming did not say that Yushitai, Yushitai must avoid suspicion, and besides, Zhang Ming did not admit the crime of murder and extermination, and Li Zhi has no experience in trying cases, the key is that there is the eldest grandson Wuji and they are making trouble here, he is still a little weak-hearted, and he doesn't want this case to end so soon.
After this Zhang Ming was taken down, Li Zhi's eyes swept and said, "I don't know what the three Aiqing think about this?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the old ministers are dizzy, don't believe in villains, don't know people properly, and ask Your Majesty to give you sin." ”
Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly got up, walked over, helped the eldest grandson Wuji up, and said: "How can Taiwei blame himself, Taiwei has raised countless talents for the imperial court, how can he be foolproof, and if he is a wise man, he will definitely make a mistake." And no matter how strange this thing is, it can't be blamed on the Tai Lieutenant, it is Zhang Ming who is not angry, he has failed the Tai Lieutenant, and he has also failed me, the Tai Lieutenant must not blame himself, his body is important! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji covered his face in a wide robe, and choked up: "If Your Majesty doesn't punish the old minister, the old minister is really shameless to stay in the court anymore, the old minister is really ashamed of Your Majesty, ashamed of the emperor!" ”
Li Zhi's heart is like a mirror, but he also knows that this matter can't be related to the eldest grandson Wuji, because the motive for the incident is only because of Zhang Ming's personal style, at most, he is blamed for not recommending someone properly. Now that he is crying like this, he can't even blame him for this little crime. Said: "How can this be done, this matter has nothing to do with the Taiwei, how can you forcibly blame the Taiwei, if there are people in the court who are dissatisfied, you call me to tell me." ”
said. He said to Han Ying and Chu Suiliang again: "You quickly help the captain to sit down." ”
"Yes!"
The two hurriedly stepped forward and helped the eldest grandson Wuji to sit down, and said a few words of comfort.
But the eldest grandson Wuji was in tears, shaking his head silently, it was really distressing to watch!
Chu Suiliang immediately said: "Regardless of whether the person was killed by Zhang Ming or not, he has always had an affair with Jiang Xian's wife, just ask such an immoral person, how can he be in an important position, the old minister suggested that he be immediately dismissed from the post of imperial doctor." ”
Li Zhi nodded. said: "Aiqing is reasonable, but for now, we still have to investigate this case first." Speaking of this, he paused and said, "However, I want to hand this case over to the Civil Security Bureau for trial." ”
Chu Suiliang and Han Ying were shocked when they heard it. Only the eldest grandson Wuji is still demented, as if he didn't hear it.
"Civil Security Bureau."
Han Ying trembled a little when he spoke, if Li Zhi didn't say it. He almost forgot about the Civil Security Bureau, and said, "Your Majesty." How can this be done, such a major case should be handed over to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for trial according to the rules. ”
Chu Suiliang said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules, the Civil Security Bureau has not yet been formally established, and the Civil Security Bureau is also inexperienced. How can it be referred to the Civil Security Bureau for trial, this -- this is not possible. ”
Li Zhi opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly felt shocked in his heart, my uncle is really cunning!
He suddenly understood why the eldest grandson Wuji had to ask for such a painful confession. In fact, it was to block his mouth, in fact, it was Chu Suiliang who recommended Zhang Ming to take the position, but the eldest grandson Wuji didn't say anything, generally speaking, he borrowed someone else's mouth to say anything, and he rarely spoke himself. So Li Zhi planned to use this as an excuse to block Chu Suiliang's mouth, you didn't recommend people properly, you are embarrassed to say it here, but he just said that, you can't blame the eldest grandson Wuji, and now he says that Chu Suiliang recommends people inappropriately, isn't this a slap in the face.
Han Yi in the back also understood, and praised the eldest grandson Wuji in his heart, which was really too fine.
He just thought that the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to clear up the relationship, and at this time he was faintly worried in his heart, Li Zhi faced the three old foxes alone, whether he could hold on, if it was handed over to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for trial, then it would be carried out in the direction of the eldest grandson Wuji's favor, because they were all his people.
Of course, Li Zhi also understands the stakes, no matter what happens to this case, he will not hand it over, he sighed slightly, and said: "The two Aiqing are right, this case is very important, otherwise, it will simply be handed over to the three Aiqing for trial together." ”
Wang Xuandao listened and glanced at Han Yi.
Han Yi pursed his lips and smiled secretly, a good move to retreat.
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed in his heart and said: "How can this be done, this case can be tried by anyone, and it must not be handed over to the old minister, Zhang Ming was recommended by the old minister, how can he let the old minister go to trial, or His Majesty will take back his fate." ”
After hearing this, Chu Suiliang and Han Ying also hurriedly said that they were Zhang Ming's main recommenders.
Li Zhi sighed: "I am actually worried about this, so I want to hand over this case to Han Yi of the Civil Security Bureau for trial, mainly because Zhang Ming has been in the DPRK for many years, and he has more or less some friendship with many officials in the DPRK, and Jiang Xian, Huo Yuande, Ding Mao, Luo Wen and others, there are also many people in their families who are officials in the DPRK. It has nothing to do with most of the officials in the DPRK and China, and it is up to him to try him, and I believe that no one will make irresponsible remarks. ”
These words came back again, isn't this melon field and plum under the plum just alluding to a few of them.
The eldest grandson Wuji understood very well in his heart, and lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
Chu Suiliang is thick-skinned enough, and he really doesn't understand taste, and said: "How can Han Yi do it, first of all, he is an official of Yushitai, according to the law, he should avoid suspicion, and secondly, he is still young and has no experience in trying cases, how can such a major case be handed over to him for trial, no, no." ”
Li Zhi was unhappy when he heard it, since you are shameless, then I am shameless too, I didn't say what I said before, and said: "It is true that Han Yi is an official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, but he is also the royal envoy of the Civil Security Bureau, and he has not been to the Imperial Historical Observatory several times since he took office in the Imperial Historical Observatory, and he has been busy with the affairs of the Civil Security Bureau, as for you saying that he has no experience in trying cases." This is not it, he once helped Yangzhou Assassin Shi to recover the stolen Golden Bodhisattva in Yangzhou, and then saw through Chen Shuozhen's tricks and designed to wipe out the traitors in the city, he is still experienced. ”
At this, he smiled slightly. said: "Chu Aiqing, I remember that when you recommended Zhang Ming to be the imperial doctor, you told me more than once that this Zhang Ming is honest and fair, and he is the best candidate for the court. ”
As soon as Chu Suiliang heard this, it was as if he had eaten stool, and his face was blue, red, and white. Trembling, just speechless.
When people recommend people, you also recommend people, you are good, they are all the opposite.
In fact, Li Zhi was going to say this just now and gag their mouths, but when the eldest grandson Wuji cried like that, he couldn't say it anymore. can only hint, but Chu Suiliang doesn't know what to do. Still shouting here, then break it, continue to argue, that's also the fault of the few of you.
The eldest grandson Wuji had no choice, they were the ones who should be most suspicious of this matter, and he hurriedly said: "The old minister agrees with His Majesty's idea." ”
Chu Sui's conscience was anxious. Let Han Yi go to the trial, what will be the result of the trial, but he hasn't had the face to speak yet.
Han Ying's heart moved, and said: "Hearing Your Majesty say this, Weichen also thinks that Han Yi is a good candidate. However, Han Yi has not been an official for a long time, has no experience, and does not understand the regulations of our court's trial, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions. ”
Chu Suiliang felt relieved when he heard this.
They are all smart people, and their brains move faster than anyone else.
Li Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this, and secretly thought, if he just let Han Yi and them go to trial, even if they can be gagged, the ministers of the DPRK and China will probably be dissatisfied, and this is indeed not in accordance with the rules, and someone will definitely stand up and say irresponsible things, anyway, this case is extremely unfavorable to Zhang Ming, as long as Han Yi is allowed to lead, then there should be no problem, after thinking about it, after weighing it again, he finally decided: "Okay, let the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the waiter of the Criminal Department assist Han Yi in trying this case." ”
In this way, it is in line with the rules, which is equivalent to Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Yushitai, plus the current Civil Security Bureau, the Quartet will be tried, but it will be presided over by Han Yi.
Everyone has taken a step back.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Han Ying breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, everyone should not think about using their brains, what is is what it is, it is not easy for them to make Li Zhi back down to this step, after all, they are the first to lose.
It didn't take long for them to retreat.
Outside the door, Chu Suiliang couldn't help his temper, and scolded: "Zhang Ming, a shameless person, trusted him so much in vain before, repeatedly praised him in front of His Majesty, and recommended him to be a doctor of imperial history, but he actually did such a bastard thing, he really me off, and I was so angry." ”
is really angry, Li Zhi's sentence really made him lose face, he has never been so aggrieved, including fighting with Han Yi before, it was also a loss, but this time he was wronged to death, and he was extremely angry, he couldn't wait to kill Zhang Ming, and he couldn't relieve his hatred.
Han Ying glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and saw that the eldest grandson Wuji lowered his eyebrows and was silent, revealing a faint sadness. In fact, the most painful thing in this matter is the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhang Ming was cultivated by him, more than ten years of work, it seems that it is about to blossom and bear fruit, but how do you know that it is empty, and it also affects himself. Han Ying asked in a low voice, "Captain, what do you think?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "I don't know, but the old man believes that Zhang Ming should not have such courage to dare to kill the four imperial historians, but the current situation is very unfavorable for Zhang Ming." ”
Han Ying said: "The key is that Your Majesty asked Han Yi to interrogate, what is the purpose?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said: "No matter what Your Majesty's intentions are, we can only endure it, in the final analysis, Zhang Ming is also recommended by us, and we are also to blame for this incident." ”
As soon as Chu Suiliang heard Han Yi, he had palpitations and said: "Han Yi, this kid is very cunning, I really don't feel at ease if I leave this matter to him, otherwise, let's also send someone to investigate secretly?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji groaned slightly, then shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly for the time being, and take a look." ”
.
Not long after the eldest grandson Wuji and the others left, Han Yi, Wang Xuandao, and Zheng Shanxing walked out from behind.
Li Zhi immediately said with a serious face: "You all heard Zhang Ming's confession just now, I don't know what you think?" ”
Han Yi didn't think about it, so he said: "Zhang Ming's confession is full of flaws, and it is not worth scrutinizing at all, and Weichen feels that it is not worth believing." ”
Li Zhi nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Then I will hand over this case to you, and you can be confident that I will have a satisfactory result." ”
He didn't say fairness, he didn't say justice, he didn't say truth, he only said satisfaction.
It's very clever, that is, right or wrong, it doesn't matter, the key is to my satisfaction.
Han Yi understood very well in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is a little worried. ”
Li Zhi said: "Say." ”
The tone seems to say, I will help you sweep away any worries.
Han Yi said: "This Dali Shaoqing and the waiter of the Criminal Department are several levels higher than Weichen, they came to assist Weichen, and this Weichen is a little worried." ”
Li Zhi smiled: "You can rest assured, I will tell them, they just supervise the whole process, they have no power to try the case, and in the end they think that you are the main one, you can even treat them as if they don't exist, and you don't need to worry about them." ”
Bold enough, I like it! Han Yi immediately hugged his fists and said: "Weichen must live up to his mission." ”
