Everyone is arguing about this in the political hall, Bai Fan has already strode in, with the permission of Emperor Li Er, Bai Fan basically does not need to be notified and no one stops him from entering the palace, except for the harem, of course, the harem is the private affairs of the emperor's family, it belongs to the emperor's personal territory, and the front of the palace belongs to the administrative place of the imperial court.

"How can Chen Bai Fan be as arrogant as His Majesty said? Bai Fan's face is certainly not worth mentioning compared to the face of the Tang Dynasty.

Lao Wei, since you insist on killing Jindeman, then give me an explanation, I am the most reasonable. ”

Yes, with Bai Fan coming forward in person, Li Er was very happy, not only threw the hard stone of Wei Zheng out, but also watched a good show on the sidelines.

It is said that Bai Fan is the iron mouth of the Tang Dynasty, and the Confucianism of the tongue battle group has not tasted defeat, I don't know what will happen to Wei Zheng, the first minister of the Tang Dynasty? Everyone in the council hall was obviously looking forward to it, and even Li Er asked the person behind him to prepare a pen and paper to record.

Wei Zheng didn't seem panicked at all when he saw Bai Fan coming, since he dared to stand up in front of the emperor, he was already destined to face the Marquis of Lantian because of this matter.

So he was neither humble nor arrogant: "What Hou Ye said is good, everyone in the world knows that Hou Ye is a benevolent gentleman and is the most reasonable, which Wei Zheng is convinced of." ”

"You don't have to put a high hat on me, Lao Wei, we haven't known each other for a day or two, you know, I am not only a person who is reasonable, but also has the advantage of protecting my shortcomings, no one can shoot at my Bai Fan's friends casually, do you want to kill me and my friend? Let's get past me first. ”

Bai Fan directly laid out the carriage and horses, and Wei Zheng laughed instead.

With Hou Ye's words, Wei Zheng was relieved.

But it's not that I, Wei Zheng, want to kill Jindeman, I have no grievances with Princess Silla, and she is a public figure in Chang'an, a big star loved by the people, to be honest, I don't want her to die very much.

But this time, she was ruthless, killing hundreds of people with one shot, and she was also arrested.

Tang law, the murderer is killed, even if Wei Zheng does not feel sorry for more than 100 people in the Baekje Palace, he must maintain the dignity of my Tang law, if the princess of Silla is not guilty of murder, it is the person in power who uses power for personal gain, this opening cannot be opened, and no one can be above the law. ”

Bai Fan: "......"

The words have been said by Lao Wei alone, what else can I say? It's so righteous and awe-inspiring, as if I'm the villain.

"Old Wei, this ......"

"There is no selfish relationship in state affairs, please don't get close to Master Hou."

Bai Fan: "......"

"Okay, Wei Xiang, Jindeman's murder seems to be a heinous crime, but it has its own special features.

After all, Jindeman is not a native of my Tang Dynasty, but he is a sincere person like the King of Baekje, and he is more sincere than the King of Baekje.

Are you worried that the death of the King of Baekje will have an impact on the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, can't you kill Jindeman? Don't forget, Kindman represents Silla in the Toucheng Datang. ”

Everyone in the council hall thought that they could be regarded as deflated when they saw Lantian Hou, but they didn't expect that he really had crooked reasoning and could say something to refute it.

But Wei Zheng didn't give in at all, waved his hand and said: "What Hou Ye said is indeed the special feature of this case, but since Jindeman's surrender to the Tang Dynasty is the people of the Tang Dynasty, it must also be restrained, if we protect her this time, if there are two hostile forces around the Tang Dynasty at the same time, will there be a private vendetta in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"You, the people are fighting between Silla and Baekje, what does it have to do with us being killed and wounded, and before surrendering, does my Datang still have a clear rule that the people are not allowed to take revenge?" Bai Fan was anxious.

"Since the Tang Dynasty has descended, then they are all the people of my Tang Dynasty, and they should be treated equally.

Besides, even if the people have private hatred and revenge, there is a way that will not cause disaster to his wife and children, and Jindeman will kill the family, and the same crime cannot be forgiven. Wei Zheng insisted.

At this time, Li Er opened his mouth to help, "Wei Aiqing, Jindeman is a public star loved by the people after all, how about I open my mouth to pardon?" How about exempting him from capital crimes and allowing them to wear them for meritorious service? ”

Wei Zheng looked up at the emperor with a cold face and asked, "Your Majesty thinks that you can convince the people like this?" ”

The implication is very simple, if you want to use the imperial power to pardon the condemned prisoners, as long as you are not afraid that the people will not follow, then I don't care, if the tragedy can be pardoned, the imperial power will lose its trust in the people.

"You ......"

Li Er choked and signaled Bai Fanzhen to care, you can do it, I can't handle this old man.

Bai Fan's face also turned dark, and he asked Wei Zheng, "Do you really want to kill?" ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "It's not that I, Wei Zheng, want to kill, it's that she touches the legal net to find death, if our people in power open the net, then there will be loopholes in the legal net from now on, and they can no longer be filled, and the people in power in later generations will use this as a basis to scramble to follow suit, what kind of system will it become?"

If Datang wants to have 10,000 years, it can't have this mistake. ”

Yes, Wei Zheng's words were fierce, and he directly opposed the first army, and Li Er couldn't open his mouth when he said this.

Bai Fan also said strongly: "What if I just don't want her to die?" ”

This......

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire council hall became tense, could it be that the Marquis of Lantian couldn't debate and wanted to suppress people strongly? Everyone is also worried, everyone is not afraid when Lantian Hou is reasonable, but when Lantian Hou is unreasonable, he will kill people.

Wei Zheng was not afraid, at this time, he stood in the middle of the council hall like an inextinguishable light in the dark, and also looked at Bai Fan and said: "Master Hou will not, because you are reasonable, you know the result of today better than me Wei Zheng."

You came to the political hall just to find an excuse to deceive yourself, but in terms of official affairs, I, Wei Zheng, am the secretary of the criminal department, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot be defiled, and when it comes to personal relations, you and I are rare close friends, and I can't watch you lose your reputation for a woman.

So today I, Wei Zheng, stood up. ”

Bai Fan didn't speak, and the two kept looking at each other.

Just when the atmosphere on both sides was depressed and a little tense, Liu Renliang, the secretary of Dali Temple here, spoke: "Hou Ye, if Hou Ye really wants to save her, you can take her as a concubine, and take Hou Ye's glorious achievements as protection, and the people can also let go of the great grievances."

However, in order to preserve the dignity of the law, she needed to make a lifelong penance as compensation so that she could gain the support of the people. ”

"Nope." Wei Zheng said loudly.

"Old Wei, why are you bothering? Is there really no way to live? Zong Zhengqing Li Shentong spoke, this old prince should have died of illness at the age of fifty-three, but because of Bai Fan, a little butterfly, he was able to have a healthy body, and it seems that he can live to be more than eighty years old, and now he has returned to Chang'an to worship the temple as Zong Zhengqing in his old age.

"At most, at most, she will be allowed to marry and leave heirs."

After hesitating for a long time, Wei Zheng finally relented.

Everyone looked at Wei Zheng and shook their heads and said that he was stubborn, what good would it do if he really forced Lantian Hou to be angry and kill people.

After being silent for a long time, Bai Fan suddenly laughed and said, "Old Wei, old Wei, is there a close friend like you?" Okay, I'll accept your favor from Bai Fan.

You're right, no one is above the law, and this opening cannot be opened.

There is no need for His Majesty's pardon, Jindeman should be punished for breaking the law, and the law of the Tang Dynasty should be as it should be. ”

Everyone: "......"

"Jianzhi, you, you can't be stimulated, right?" Li Er asked.

Wei Zheng bowed to Bai Fan, "Thank you Lord Hou for being so aware of righteousness." ”

Bai Fan bowed to Li Er and said, "The minister pleads for Princess Silla and begs to keep her whole body on the day of execution, can you use a donkey?" ”
