Chapter 1458: Political Show

Next Chapter

Although Lu Chengqing was cautious, he was still clean and neat, and he would not wait for the Yushitai, because the evidence submitted by the Civil Security Bureau was conclusive, and they had no reason to drag it out, so after discussing the charges in the lawsuit, they formally filed a criminal complaint with Dali Temple.

This Dali Siqing Xin Mao will be very depressed, he feels that he is here to help Li Yifu wipe his ass when this Dali Siqing is here, every three or five times, Li Yifu's family has to make some trouble, but there is no way, this person is in the court, and he can't help himself.

However, this case is not as good as Bi Zhengyi's case, Bi Zhengyi's case, one side is too weak, one side is too strong, he must be biased towards the strong side, but in the case of Ci'en Temple, the two sides have equal forces, which is very difficult to handle.

So, after he received the lawsuit from the Criminal Department, he immediately came to Xu Jingzong and Wang Dejian to discuss countermeasures.

"Killing?"

Xu Jingzong couldn't help frowning slightly after hearing this, "It seems that the Criminal Department has no intention of showing mercy to its subordinates, but wants to put Li Yang to death!" ”

Wang Dejian was also worried, "Li Yifu loves his little son the most, so even Liu Yuanzhen has been put in, and from the current point of view, Li Yifu should not be implicated, if we don't help at all, I'm afraid we will hold a grudge!" ”

Xu Jingzong asked, "Is there a way to save Li Yang's life first?" ”

Xin Mao said: "This evidence is conclusive, it is too difficult to help Li Yang's life, and the Pei family will definitely want Li Yang to kill people to pay for his life." ”

He was afraid that Xu Jingzong would put pressure on him, he didn't want to be punished by this black cauldron, not to mention being found not guilty, even if it was sentenced to fight and kill, he was very likely to be implicated.

Wang Dejian pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is the queen herself, but the queen's clearest instruction to us is to deal with it impartially, so I think we will make a show, and try to help Li Yifu if it complies with the rules, and the rest will have to be handled by the queen." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded thoughtfully.

......

Lee House.

"Master, there is news from the Criminal Department that the Criminal Department has officially filed a lawsuit with Dali Temple to sue the third prince for murder."

"What--- so --- kill?"

Li Yifu was shocked when he heard this.

"Hmm."

"Bang!"

"How can it be!"

Li Yifu slammed the table and stood up, "Okay, you Lu Chengqing, you fell into the well, I won't let you go." ”

At this moment, a woman walked in through the side door, "Husband, how is this good, Yang'er is still so young, you can't let him die like this." Whining---! ”

"You know how to cry, cry all day long, you have the ability to cry your precious son." Li Yifu waved his hands and roared.

"What can I do as a woman, you are the prime minister, but you can't even protect your own son, why do you murder me." This Mrs. Li is also out of the way.

"You---! I'm too lazy to tell you. ”

Li Yifu waved his hand and left angrily, and now he really has nothing to think about, because Wu Meiniang came up and let him be idle at home, which is nothing more than a hint that he should not act rashly, so during this period, he really didn't move at all, he was honest at home, and Wei Siqian on the shore came to talk to him every once in a while, staring at him to death, and he couldn't move if he wanted to, so he pinned his hopes on Wu Meiniang.

But so far, Wu Meiniang still hasn't made any moves, and if this is about to be judged, it will be difficult to operate again.

At this time, Li Yifu was also panicked, and he had to figure out his own way.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to Xu's mansion."

"Yes."

But Li Yifu had just come to the door and was about to get into the car, when Yu Guang suddenly saw two familiar faces standing on the corner of the street looking at him, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Okay, you Wei Siqian, you want to kill me completely, if my son has three long and two short, Lao Tzu wants your family to be buried together." ”

"Master, are we still going?"

Li Yifu got into the carriage without saying a word, and said, "Give me a day around this Chang'an City, no, let me go to the suburbs." ”

"Huh? Yes, yes, yes. ”

However, his anger did not stop the proceedings in the Criminal Department. Lu Chengqing is not stupid, the moment before the lawsuit, he let people release the news, saying that the criminal department has filed a lawsuit to sue Li Yang for homicide.

Everyone has no opinion on this crime, everyone just has an opinion on Dali Temple, because Bi Zhengyi's case has caused a heavy blow to the reputation of Dali Temple. These nobles are staring at Dali Temple, and there are also relevant nobles in Dali Temple, Zhang Ruishu is a representative figure, Xin Mao can't drag it out if he wants to, so he can only do things according to the rules and regulations, and try Li Yang, Liu Yuanzhen and others.

Liu Yuanzhen is not in suspense, in fact, Xin Mao did not pay much attention to Liu Yuanzhen, because his crime was relatively light, and he had an official position, because the law of feudal society clearly protects the rights and interests of officials, so he was convicted in the first instance.

The key lies in Li Yang.

Xin Mao will personally preside over the trial, he wants to lead Li Yang to the fight, but Lu Chengqing has already prepared, this time he must sue Li Yang for killing, he must not be appeased, put forward all kinds of evidence, and talk about the law, Xin Mao will not be Lu Chengqing's opponent, and after a while, he will be defeated, and Xin Mao will not dare to mess around, and he will not tear his face with Lu Chengqing to fight.

However, according to the system of the Tang Dynasty, Dali Temple also had to hold an internal meeting to discuss what crime to convict, this is the so-called eight discussion system, most of the officials involved in the trial, have to express their opinions, this is to avoid one person in charge, and cause unjust cases, even if Dali Temple Qing forcibly sentenced, the officials involved in the trial, or to write their own opinions on the verdict.

The Dali Temple was originally divided into two factions, one was the Guanlong Group, and the other was on the side of Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong.

Li Yifu's side naturally wanted to be convicted and killed, and the Guanlong clique forces led by Zhang Ruiji must be convicted of murder. In fact, there are more people from Li Yifu's faction, and they wanted to seize Dali Temple in order to protect their rights and interests! But there is also a criminal department below, the evidence is conclusive, and there are too many people to go against the sky.

Xin Mao will not be willing to take this responsibility, but he also does not want to offend Li Yifu, because Yu Shitai has not yet obtained conclusive evidence, Li Yifu is very likely to stay out of the matter, then he is still Zhongshu Ling, as the prime minister of the dynasty, as an official, he can't ignore this, this is the top boss, this is also a disadvantage of feudal society, and the interests of the ruling class must be safeguarded. Therefore, Xin Mao will finally decide to pass the lawsuit of the Criminal Department to sentence Li Yang for the crime of homicide, because if you are not sentenced to the crime of homicide, you cannot present it to the Son of Heaven, and only the death penalty is qualified for the emperor to see it himself. However, according to the rules, he had to put everyone's opinions into the recital, and he also wrote it in the recital, so that he could do it as he pleased.

Wu Meiniang asked them to treat this case as an ordinary homicide, but this is impossible, if you can get Li Yifu out of power first, then you don't have to think about it, just do it to the death, this wall is pushed by everyone, but the problem Li Yifu is very likely to get away with it, who dares to mess around, even in the twenty-first century, it is impossible, and it will eventually have to be decided by the Liangyi Palace.

After Wu Meiniang got the confession, she immediately convened the cardinal ministers to discuss, of course, Li Yifu was excluded. And Li Ji and Ren Yaxiang didn't come, Li Ji didn't care about it, Wu Meiniang was embarrassed to bother him anymore, Ren Yaxiang had to deal with the affairs of Zhaoyi Academy, he was busy and didn't have time, of course, he didn't want to come when he was free.

The only people who came here for the meeting were Xu Jingzong, Du Zhenglun, Han Yi, Wei Siqian, Lu Chengqing, Xu Yushi, and Xin Maojiang.

Wu Meiniang first showed them the verdict of Dali Temple, and waited until they all finished reading it before asking, "What do you think?" ”

Xu Jingzong immediately stood up and said: "Queen, the minister thinks that although Dali Temple finally decided to sentence Li Yang for murder, the officials of Dali Temple have great controversy about this case, and these controversies should also be worth considering. And our dynasty has never been easy to sentence to death, this person's life is at stake, so the minister thinks that the court should deal with it at its discretion and give Li Yang a chance. ”

Du Zhenglun immediately said: "Xu Shizhong's words are wrong, my court is indeed very cautious about the death penalty, but it is only because I am afraid of an unjust case, because once this person is dead, it will be meaningless to wash away the grievances." But Li Yang's crime, that is conclusive evidence, this has nothing to do with our attitude towards the death penalty, and this person's life is at stake, how can he use his age to talk about things, if Li Yang is young, and his crime is reduced, then there will be many people who use children to commit crimes, which is even more unreasonable! ”

"Well said!"

Wu Meiniang nodded and said: "Du Zhongshu's words are really a warning to the world, which is why our dynasty is so cautious about the law, because a little negligence will cause a catastrophe and have a far-reaching impact." As for this case, I have already explained at the beginning that it should be handled as an ordinary case, and it must be dealt with with evidence, and since the evidence is conclusive, there is no discretion to deal with, so according to the trial of Dali Temple, Li Yang was sentenced to murder and sentenced to beheading. ”

Almost all the ministers present were shocked, they all thought that this was a routine, Dali Temple deliberately created controversy, so that the queen had a reason to help Li Yifu step down, but they didn't expect that Wu Meiniang didn't say a word, and directly made a decision.

Except for one person, this person is Han Yi, he has expected that this may be the result, because he has the concept of Wu Zetian, he knows that Wu Meiniang is very ambitious, so he let it out and let Wu Meiniang perform to his heart's content, this time whether it is the ministers of the court, or the nobles and the people, but they are all on the side of the Pei family, no matter how big the matter, you will kill people, then if you let it go, who would dare to go out.

If Wu Meiniang really wanted to protect Li Yang, she would not stand up, since Wu Meiniang stood up, she must be fair, if you are not fair, this political show is a very failure.

"If you have any opinions, you may wish to bring them up." Wu Meiniang smiled softly.

Everyone's hearts warmed when they heard this, this queen is indeed fair, and we blamed her wrongly. Said in unison: "Queen Shengming." ”

Wu Meiniang nodded, and said, "Then I don't know when the execution will be?" ”

General Xin Mao said: "There is no provision for this, but according to the death penalty cases imposed in the past, unless you commit a great crime of rebellion, such as killing your father and mother, or committing a crime of rebellion, you must be immediately beheaded, and in the case of Li Yang, you generally wait for the execution after the autumn of the next year, and the court does this to prevent unjust cases." ”

Du Zhenglun said: "Xin Shangqing, I have already said that the evidence in this case is conclusive, and there is no possibility of an unjust case. Saying that, he said to Wu Meiniang again: "Empress Qiyu, the minister thinks that this case is in an uproar, and the people are also talking about it, and the court should immediately execute the court to calm down the anger of the people, and it is not appropriate to delay." ”

Xu Jingzong immediately said: "Du Zhongshu, you are biased, even if you deal with it impartially, then you have to follow the rules, and you will be beheaded in the coming year, not only because of the unjust case, but also because it reflects the benevolent political and national ideology of the monarch of our dynasty, and the importance of human life, you can't be beheaded immediately because Li Yang is the son of Li Zhongshu, in this way, he will follow suit in the local community, but it will destroy the legal system of our dynasty." ”

Wu Meiniang nodded and said: "Xu Shizhong's words are reasonable, when to be beheaded, it's not a big deal, but you can't lose a big one because of a small one, I also agree with Xu Shizhong's suggestion, but this ultimately has to be approved by His Majesty himself." ”

She's just coming forward to deal with it, but she can't write a holy decree.

Wu Meiniang suddenly looked at Wei Siqian again and said, "Wei Zhongcheng, about whether Li Zhongshu shielded Li Yang's case, can there be a result?" ”

Wei Siqian hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Back to the queen, the ministers ---and ministers have not found evidence that Li Zhongshu is harboring Li Yang for the time being. ”

Han Yi covered his mouth and almost laughed, he knew that if Li Zhi sat on it, Wei Siqian would definitely sue Li Yifu if he had any evidence, Yushitai had this qualification, and he did this in the past, but it was Wu Meiniang who was sitting above, Wu Meiniang said before, if he talked about things with evidence, he couldn't handle it as appropriate without substantive evidence, if he didn't have evidence, he would have to sue, then Li Yang could handle it as appropriate.

He was ready to talk, but he couldn't say it, and he was afraid that he wouldn't get the other watermelon, and even the sesame seeds in his hand would be thrown away.

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Wei Zhongcheng is loyal to his duties, I have heard of this for a long time, and I also think that Li Yifu is indeed suspicious, and I also support Yushitai to participate in the investigation, but now that Li Yang's case has been decided, and Zhongshu Ling is the prime minister, Zhongshu Province has a backlog of many things waiting for Li Zhongshu to investigate, if you want to continue the investigation, then Li Yifu will never be able to return to Zhongshu Province, you see---! ”

Wu Meiniang's routine is very deep!

Wei Siqian said very unwillingly: "The queen is right, and the ministers and ---ministers also think that the case should be ended. ”

Wu Meiniang nodded, swept her eyes, and said: "However, in the process of reviewing this case, I have gained some experience, in fact, whether Li Yang is sentenced to death or not, Pei Qingfeng can never be resurrected, and I Datang still lost a young talent, which is regrettable." Therefore, in my opinion, the best law is the law that can prevent murder from happening, and it can only give fair punishment, not the best law, I wonder what you think? ”

When Han Yi heard it, there was really something to follow, it seems that she has put a lot of effort into this political show.
