Chapter 153: Does the Truth Really Matter?
Chapter 153: Does the Truth Really Matter?
Although Li Jiancheng's face was covered with frost, he smiled in his heart.
Although, his plan is still to take advantage of Chen Ying's crime of killing Liu Xuanyi, so that Chen Ying can be brought to justice, so as to perfectly move Chen Ying from the front of the stage to the backstage.
Although the plan is a plan, it does not mean that Li Jiancheng is comfortable in his heart.
Now it's okay, Li Xiuning took out this bad breath for him.
"The following offenses."
In the feudal era, this was one of the ten evils, even if the new monarch ascended the throne, or the emperor wanted to amnesty the world, the ten evils were not among the pardons.
On the surface, Li Xiuning was questioning Li Jiancheng, should he be killed?
In fact, Li Xiuning's real purpose was to question the Manchu ministers.
As long as the buttocks are not crooked, who in the crowd present dares to say that they should not be killed? The ministers of civil and military affairs present are all vested interests of the Tang Dynasty, and they enjoy the benefits brought by this interest.
High and sacrosanct, this is order and normality.
If the aristocracy can provoke and offend at will, is it still an aristocrat? Is there still a commonality among the privileged classes?
Once Liu Xuanyi is opened, will he have it in the future?
Li Xiuning was very satisfied with the ministers present, especially Liu Zhenghui's face seemed to be constipated.
Looking at this scene, Chen Ying was happy and worried.
He is glad that Li Xiuning has finally opened up and knows how to use political means to solve problems.
Actually, Chen Ying didn't know.
He was wrong.
Li Xiuning doesn't understand politics?
Of course not, she didn't understand, but pretended not to understand.
Although Li Xiuning is Li Yuan's third daughter. Taimu Empress Dou has only five children in her life, four sons and one daughter, although she ranks third, she is Li Yuan's eldest daughter.
The difference between the concubine and the concubine is very obvious, before Li Yuan ascended the throne, Li Yuan's three sons and three daughters were married separately, in fact, except for the eldest son Li Jiancheng married his wife Zheng Guanyin, and the wife family is extraordinary, everything else is not enough.
Especially Li Yuan's eldest daughter, married to Young Master Feng. But this Young Master Feng has neither a county prestige, nor a family, let alone a name, although history has only left a few words, saying that he is Li Shimin's cronies, but he has not made any achievements, nothing more than relying on the identity of the princess of Changsha to enter Li Shimin's field of vision.
Li Xiuning is not the same, her biological mother is Empress Dou.
With Queen Dou's intelligence, can she not cultivate Li Xiuning?
With Li Yuan's identity at that time, no matter who Li Xiuning married, he had to be in line with Li Yuan, the eldest daughter of the Tang State Duke of Tang, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.
Li Xiuning has left the military four years after Wude and retired to the background, as if he has become a transparent person.
However, if she didn't make a move, she would be speechless when she made a move.
At this time, the eyes of all the ministers fell on Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Focus Criminal Department, and everyone gloated.
Or worried.
Or look good.
And Chen Ying was not happy.
The most important thing about this huge plan secretly executed by him and Li Jiancheng is that Chen Ying must cheat to death.
Once Li Xiuning uses this method to exonerate him, it will be self-defeating.
Li Jiancheng looked at Liu Zhenghui with a cold face, and said with a sneer: "Liu Qing, you are the bitter master, what do you think?" ”
"I ......"
Liu Zhenghui served as the secretary of the criminal department.
Didn't he know that Liu Xuanyi was indeed suspected of killing himself.
Liu Xuanyi has his own father in Chang'an City, who is the secretary of the criminal department, and he is used to being lawless.
But what is Chang'an?
This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not to mention a criminal department book, just the prince of the clan, who dares to walk sideways?
The left prison guard understands?
This is the eyes and ears of Li Jiancheng, the son of heaven, although he does not dare to guarantee that the guards of the left prison can do everything in detail, and inform Li Jiancheng of all the winds and grasses in Chang'an City.
However, Liu Zhenghui did not dare to refute Li Xiuning.
Once he stood in the court and refuted Li Xiuning, saying that he should not be killed if he committed the following crimes. Then, he will become the enemy of the entire Chang'an, and even the entire world and nobles.
Occupying the opposition of the whole family and the noble class, he will be ruined and have nothing.
Even if his ass is clean, when it comes to blacks, the combat effectiveness of the clan gate valve is absolutely overwhelming.
For the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, historians have always been condemned verbally and in writing, and even Sima Qiangong, who has always been known for his fairness and history, accused Qin Huang Shi Shi of tyranny in as many as 67 places in the "Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang Benji".
Ban Gu, the author of the Book of Han, also used some words such as "the people's power is exhausted, the wealth is not restrained, the laws are miserable, and the punishment is cruel" when writing about Qin Shi Huang.
But is this really the case in history?
"Historical Records" once said, "There are more than 700,000 prisoners in Qinyin Palace, which are divided into Afang Palace or Lishan." In fact, later generations considered the ancient evidence that there is no trace of the Qin Dynasty palace on the rammed earth platform foundation of Afang Palace, which is just a plan.
In the chaos at the end of Qin, 700,000 prisoners in Lishan did not participate in the so-called uprising, but were willing to follow Shaofu Zhanghan out of the pass to quell the rebellion, until they were all killed by Xiang Yu.
Don't feel weird? Shouldn't the convicts who are living in dire straits turn against each other and join in the righteous deeds? Isn't that more logical?
However, history is such a slap in the face. And we, on the other hand, are obsessed with it.
Liu Zheng will believe it.
Once he openly stated that he could not be killed.
You don't even have to wait until tomorrow, he will be hacked into a pile of stinky shit soon, and even the black history of dogs touching dogs, bullying the desperate door, and visiting the widow's door at night when he was a child was concocted.
Pei Ju, who was sitting on the Jindun, looked at Liu Zhenghui and let out a long sigh.
Poor people will have something to hate.
When Pei Ju looked at Li Xiuning again, he was a little distracted for a moment.
Li Xiuning's appearance seems to have become the young Taimu Empress Dou.
Dou is a strange woman, Dou was raised in the palace by his uncle Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong when he was young, and he was very favored. Yang Jian was subjected to Northern Zhou Zen.
Dou cried: "Hate me for not being a man, in order to save my uncle's difficulty." ”
After an extensive and demanding "competition to recruit relatives", the first son-in-law of the East Bed who was finally "selected by the Bird Screen" was not an ordinary person, but the future Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.
Li Xiuning and her mother Dou have one thing in common, they are loyal to love and strong-willed.
The Dou clan influenced Li Yuan and spared no effort to bury the Yang Sui Dynasty. In order to protect Li Yuan, she did not hesitate to use her own death to remove Li Yuan from the mortal situation of Tao Li Zhang.
And Li Xiuning is the same, for the sake of Datang, she went to the soup.
For Chen Ying, he did not hesitate to openly tear off the mask he had worn for more than 30 years.
At this time, the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty looked at Princess Pingyang who was standing in the main hall with a calm and calm expression.
Epiphany.
The once stunning princess of Pingyang.
It's back!
Princess Pingyang stayed in Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty for two years, and was named to marry Chai Shao.
In fact, her most important duty is to live in Chang'an, hook up with the heroes of Guanzhong, investigate the affairs of the imperial court, and provide detailed information for Li Yuan.
Her duty is to clear the obstacles for Li Yuan to enter the main pass.
I really thought that with Li Yuan's name, he could instantly pull up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and respond to every call.
I'm afraid that Li Yuan didn't have such a high prestige at that time. What's more, when she officially started the army, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin were deep in the quagmire of Huoyi, unable to extricate themselves.
At this moment, the governor of the political affairs and Shangshu Youcheng bowed down and said: "Dare to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, Chen Juma is neither Dali Temple nor the Criminal Department, what qualifications do you have to take the title of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple?" ”
Li Xiuning's pretty brows furrowed slightly.
Dai Xuan is the last legalist of the Tang Dynasty, and as a prime minister, he wants to maintain the justice of the law.
Li Xiuning committed one of the ten evils and blocked everyone's mouth.
After all, Li Xiuning is not a legalist, this sentence seems to be fine, but there is a problem, that is, the right to enforce the law.
Although Chen Ying is in a high position, he has no law enforcement power.
Although Chen Ying is the protector of the capital of Anxi, he holds a white and yellow Yue.
This white and yellow Yue is actually a more vivid object that we often see in costume film and television dramas, that is, the Shang Fang Sword.
Chen Ying comforted Anxi, and he had the right to kill Anxi's civil and military forces, Li Shu, and vassal vassals.
The crux of the matter is that this is Chang'an, and Chen Yingke does not have the right to appease Guanzhong.
Even if Liu Xuanyi committed the following crimes, he should be killed.
But Chen Ying should not be killed, but should be tried by the three divisions, which is a typical example.
Li Xiuning was silent.
She was thinking about how to answer.
At this time, Chen Ying bowed down and said, "Minister, I have something to say!" ”
Li Jiancheng looked at the situation and gradually exceeded his expectations, but said calmly: "Speak!" ”
Chen Ying said to Dai Guan: "Dare to ask Dai Xiangguo, if you see someone committing murder, do you want to see righteousness and do something, draw a knife to help, or do you want to watch from the wall?" ”
This is exactly what Chen Ying's cleverness is.
He's actually stealing concepts.
"Naturally, it is righteous and promising, and draw a sword to help!" Dai Xuan replied with almost no hesitation.
When Dai Xuan answered this question, he had already been removed from Chen Yinggou.
Chen Ying's biggest problem is that he does not have the power to enforce the law.
And Chen Ying deliberately used righteousness and promising, drawing a knife to help to interfere with Dai Guan's thinking.
A confident smile appeared on Chen Ying's face and said slowly.
"Liu Xuanyi, as the son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, cares about people's lives, and everyone is afraid of Liu Shangshu's obscenity, should this son be killed?"
"Bloody mouth, do you have proof?"
Liu Zhenghui spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Wronged, although Liu Xuanyi is a bastard, he is not so careless as to disregard people's lives.
At least Liu Zhenghui doesn't know.
Dai Xuan looked at Chen Ying with a solemn face and said, "Chen Linggong, do you have any evidence?" ”
Chen Ying nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Li Jiancheng said with a cold face: "Come up!" ”
Chen Ying looked at Li Anyan, the general of the left prison guard, and said: "General Li, please take my token, please send someone to the twelve families in the east city and Caomen to the west, and the bitter lord will come with the general!" ”
As he spoke, Chen Ying took off a small chapter of his own.
Give it to Ang Lee.
Do you want to say that Chen should have evidence?
Actually, he really didn't.
Does it matter?
In fact, it doesn't matter, there are already too many people who have died unjustly.
What's more, Liu Xuanyi, a gentleman, is really causing trouble, and there are many enemies. Originally, or everyone was afraid of Liu Zhenghui's power, and was afraid of offending the Shangshu of the Criminal Department of the Dynasty, Yu Guogong.
However, when Chen Ying killed Liu Xuanyi, there must be someone willing to stand on Chen Ying's side.
Chen Ying is now also a famous thigh in Chang'an City, not at this time, but when.
Even if the real sufferer doesn't come to expose and complain, it doesn't matter.
Chen Ying's killing of Liu Zhenghui's son has long been known to everyone.
In fact, the twelve families of Caomen in the east city and the west are a stronghold of the Tiger Yicong, and when they see Chen Ying's private seal, they will know what to do.
If there is a sufferer, they will look for it, and if they can't find it, they will create some sufferers.
When the time comes, Liu Zhenghui will not be able to say clearly even if he is mixed and has a full mouth.
