Chapter 576: The Public Trial of the Century

"Minister Yang, considering that the scale of our public trial in the square outside Tianjin three days later, that is, on April 25, is too large, and the number of people who came to participate in it is large, can the security work at the scene be passed by inviting the brothers of the Tiance Army to come and maintain order? Otherwise, I am afraid that the personnel of the security department and the security personnel of our law court itself will not be able to take care of it. Wang Zhiwen, the deputy head of the Law Court, who came to Youzhou, scratched his head and looked at Yang Tiancheng with a wry smile: "The situation is urgent, and I didn't bring the formalities here, so I can only ask Minister Yang for more understanding." ”

Yang Tiancheng didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "The royal court is not polite, before I came, the emperor had already ordered me to take full authority to deal with the rebellion in this Youbian Province, so any transfer here belongs to the scope of military control." I will ask the second battalion to send the main force to the scene to maintain order and ensure the smooth completion of the public trial. Moreover, the secret guard will also insert people to enter the public trial venue, and if there is a rebellious party who dares to make trouble on the scene, he will definitely be hit by thunder. After Yang Tiancheng finished speaking, the figure of Biaozi appeared behind him, and the appearance of this intelligence officer made Wang Zhiwen settle down and smile: "With you, the intelligence officer of Xuan Yingwei, I don't think the rest of the party will be able to break into the venue, right?" As soon as he finished saying this, Yang Tiancheng smiled and said, "It seems that our deputy courtyard master still thinks that the secret guard of the Xuanying Guard is more reliable than the soldiers of our army." After a few people laughed for a while, they began to arrange in detail the garrison of the entrances and exits of the city square, and Biao Zi also began to mobilize a large number of secret guards to deploy control around, and let some of the secret guards begin to lurk in various places to monitor the dark guards around the Yu Bian Yu Party who have not yet been wiped out to keep an eye on them one by one, and even in order to achieve the deterrent effect, after carefully weighing Biao Zi and Yang Tiancheng, they decided to secretly mobilize the army to lurk and track, and once these people have any abnormal movements, they will immediately send troops to exterminate them. However, what the two of them didn't know at this time was that Li Xuanqing and his party in Chang'an had already taken a special train out of Guanzhong Province and were speeding towards Youzhou. Speaking of which, there is no way, even the flying pigeon transmission book can no longer catch up with the speed of the train, so Xuan Yingwei's intelligence transmission can no longer be faster than Li Xuanqing's special train. Speaking of which, this is also another revolution that Li Xuanqing and his Tang Empire need to face after the emergence of trains and other modes of transportation.

"What's Big Brother thinking?" Li Xuanqing looked at the scenery flashing outside the window in a daze, the train went all the way east from the banks of the Yellow River, the scenery along the Yellow River was naturally very different from that of later generations, the destruction of the Loess Plateau in this era was much better than that of later generations, at least there were many primeval forests along the way, and the green grasslands were also one after another, without the endless loess, and naturally there was no wound of the ravine full of devastation. However, at this time, Li Xuanqing's mind is not on this, he has completely changed the concept of the people and officials in this era, so at least in the matter of environmental protection, Datang has kept up with the pace of later generations, and even better than later generations.

"Qiaoxi, we're too slow." Li Xuanqing was naturally able to think of the big problem he was facing at this time, so he smiled bitterly and took Qiaoxi's hand and said: "Our empire is thousands of miles away from east to west, north and south, but there is no fundamental breakthrough in our current contact methods, so how can such a huge empire communicate in the future after you and I are gone?" How should the Empire's decrees be communicated? We had already tied the Northwest to the Empire by building railroads, but with the speed of naval expansion accelerating overseas, what about those lands that are isolated overseas? Our message can only be sent in tandem with the reaction of the Imperial Center, and if we go to Youzhou now, Xuan Yingwei can't even notify Tiancheng in advance to prepare for it, in case it will trigger a big mess in the future. ”

"Big brother means it's time for us to find a way to innovate new ways and means of communication, right?" Li Xuanqing's questions and worries were naturally understood, so he frowned when he heard the words and said: "It's just that you and I don't know much about radio technology in later generations, and there are too many basic sciences involved in radio, and our current physics has just entered the threshold, so I'm afraid that Brother Muchen's side doesn't know when it will be able to do it even if all the people in the empire who are engaged in physics are gathered." ”

"Forget it, I'm just complaining, this kind of thing depends on chance in addition to the development of basic science, and it can't be in a hurry, is it possible that you and I will go back to the next world and bring a radio or something?" Li Xuanqing patted Qiaoxi's little head and signaled her not to follow her, but Qiaoxi's side obviously kept this matter in mind, and immediately found Mu Chen after going back, and specially found a secret team to start researching something that seemed incredible in this era, electricity. In this era, the only thing that can make people understand electricity is the thunder and lightning on a thunderstorm day, which at that time seemed to be basically a means of the gods, so Mu Chen didn't understand what this electricity was at first, and in desperation, Qiaoxi could only explain in detail the basic knowledge of electricity in later generations with him and the team he organized. In this way, this seemingly incredible project was forced to start when the basic science had reached a certain foundation. However, Qiaoxi didn't pay much attention to it after doing this, even if there was a beginning in electricity, radio could not be studied just with electricity.

The train was running, and when Li Xuanqing and the others arrived, Yang Tiancheng and the others, who were planning to arrange the opening, were startled, Li Xuanqing was assassinated in Youzhou before, and this time it was less than a month before he came again, didn't it give those rebellious remnants a chance to go crazy?

Yang Tiancheng and Biaozi's worries Li Xuanqing didn't pay attention to these anymore, and took Qiaoxi and others to carefully study the public trial process of the law court, but instead they talked to Cen Tianshi, who came over, and Yang Tiancheng talked about something else, and even Tuoba Siji, who had been happy, also joined in the fun.

"I said, Mr. Cen, didn't the emperor's coming at this time make the situation that was originally suppressed more unclear?" Li Xuanqing's comfort made this famous general who was like a god smile bitterly, so he shouted bitterly to Mr. Cen, "Why didn't Mr. persuade the emperor when he was in Chang'an?" These rebels have weapons in their hands. ”

"I don't know the emperor's personality yet?" Mr. Cen took Yang Tiancheng's hand and said with a smile: "Besides, the public trial will start soon, you can just treat it as if we didn't come, and everything will start according to your original plan." While the two were talking, Li Xuanqing was also watching Wang Zhiwen and others from the Law Court come to power. Although the mechanical megaphone has not been invented, there is still a way for similar primitive equipment, and when all this is ready, Wang Zhiwen's side has officially started, and the Cui family and other main criminals who were arrested were brought up in rows, with shackles on their hands and feet. As soon as these people came on the field, countless people on the field began to make an uproar. However, Wang Zhiwen is still very experienced in this kind of scene, and quickly controlled the situation and began to officially carry out the public trial.

"It seems that the Law Court has also produced a lot of talents over the years, and this Deputy Court of the King should have just passed the year of its establishment, right? But it seems that not only did I have a very good grasp of the scene, but I also watched it just now, and I was very well prepared, and I also adjusted the trial process specifically for the public trial, and gave the people a chance to speak at the end. Li Xuanqing smiled at Cen Tianshi and the others beside him, and it could be seen that he was very optimistic about this Wang Zhiwen. Although the law is independent, even Li Xuanqing himself rarely interferes in the specific affairs of the law court, and the independent court is still the only lifelong position in the empire, basically except for accidents, the law court headed by Du Rangneng will not be swayed by other power departments at all, nor will it be bound by the party that is about to start. The basic requirement of the Law Court is to be independent and free from interference, so when Li Xuanqing began to negotiate the political party system, Du Rangneng announced the latest principle of the Law Court, that is, all officials of the Law Court must not have any party status, and they must not hold any political leanings in party politics. It is precisely this principle that allows the law court headed by Du Rangneng to always stand still and maintain fairness and justice.

And Wang Zhiwen's trial on the stage is still going on, thanks to the fact that the law court has continued to uphold justice over the years, it has a lofty position in the hearts of the people, and the principle of legal independence and equality of all people has gradually penetrated into the hearts of the people, so all the people remained calm when Wang Zhiwen went down one by one according to the trial process. And when Wang Zhiwen presented the countless evidence collected by Xuan Yingwei on the spot, Cui Yin, who originally planned to fight back in front of the people, and tried to fight up with the help of the people, gradually lowered his head. The evidence that Xuan Yingwei had was too comprehensive, and many of them and even a few of them had secret agreements in the secret room were shown by Wang Zhiwen one by one. Few people will know about these things even if they are the core children of the Cui family, and these things should have been burned a long time ago in his impression, so why can Wang Zhiwen still be able to take them out? He couldn't deny the handwriting signed by himself and the main person in charge of the Zheng family.

And the audience and Li Xuanqing and others silently watched the biaozi on the stage, but looked at Cui Yin, whose face was getting paler and paler, but showed a sneer, the Cui family thought that they were doing a secret, but didn't they know that the empire also had a spy organization called Xuan Yingwei? The shadow is the shadow of the dark, and who can see the shadow? Nature is without a trace, without a trace. Just by relying on the Cui family, how can they hide the secret guard of Xuan Yingwei? However, Cui Yin's face became extremely pale at this time, and sure enough, he couldn't prevent this huge intelligence organization even if he couldn't prevent it. So in extreme anger, Cui Yin broke free from the shackles of the guards behind him and got up and shouted angrily: "Is this huge Tang Empire relying on these shady means to maintain its rule? Why is the secret affairs of my family clear? Dare to ask if the Empire has sent people to spy on our big families? In all the families of the whole world, there are people in the Xuan Ying Guard? Otherwise, why would the royal court be able to know about the conversations in these secret rooms? "Cui Yin's original intention was to arouse the emotions of everyone present, the empire was monitoring everyone, only in this way could he provoke everyone present to fight against the legal court, otherwise, relying on the evidence displayed in this item and the evidence that has not yet been presented, the Cui family and everyone present will be cut by a thousand cuts.

As soon as Cui Yin finished saying this, the people present had not yet reacted, but Wang Zhiwen on the stage smiled coldly and did not take Cui Yin's reaction in his eyes at all. At this time, Yang Tiancheng in the audience also turned his head to look at Biaozi, who nodded. I saw that Wang Zhiwen waved his hand at this time, and saw that the security department on the left side of the public trial table suddenly walked up to the front desk with a person, and others did not react less, but Cui Yin suddenly shuddered, and then let out a loud scream, and fell to the ground.

"Cui Yin's words just now are very good, whether the empire is sending people to spy on you, today I think there is a person who will make it clear to you, and only this person can explain it clearly to you." Wang Zhiwen suddenly stood up at this time, and his tone changed, and he said, "I have your Majesty the Emperor below." As soon as Wang Zhiwen's words came out, even the people present could no longer remain silent, and began to cheer. Li Xuanqing walked up to the public trial table with Qiaoxi under everyone's gaze and cheers, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Li Xuanqing. Li Xuanqing waved his hands and signaled the people present to be quiet, and at the same time, Na Jiuwei's voice began to appear in the ears of all the people, "This is the second time I have come to Youzhou in a month, and these two times make me feel a lot of emotion, it has only been eleven years since the establishment of the empire, and our people have only been stable for eleven years, and some people are trying to subvert our country and your life." For the sake of their own selfish interests, these people ignore the hard-won peace of thousands of people in the world, and ignore the peace that our Tang Empire has finally won after a hundred years of vicissitudes of war, forming parties for personal gain, colluding with rebels, and vainly trying to arm rebellion, how can such imperial sinners get the mercy of the empire? And how do I get all my fathers and fellow villagers to let them go? Li Xuanqing spread his fingers to Cui Yin and the others in front of him and said angrily: "I can forgive you for assassinating me in Youzhou, but I, Li Xuanqing, will never allow anyone, any force or family to destroy this peaceful road paved with the lives and blood of hundreds of thousands of Tiance soldiers, if anyone dares to risk their lives, the imperial law and the three-foot butcher's knife will definitely not be merciful." ”

As soon as Li Xuanqing's words were finished, all the people present were in chaos again, and Li Xuanqing was assassinated, which was the first time he admitted it himself, which was equivalent to an ironclad fact. Therefore, after a short uproar, a voice came from the people present, "Even if the emperor is merciful and willing to forgive such a great crime, how can the people of us and the others agree?" affirmed that the court strictly dealt with such rebels, restored peace to the world, and also made it clear to the emperor that although I Youzhou is not only a black sheep, but we and other people in Youzhou swear allegiance to the emperor and will not regret it. Led by this voice, all the people began to chant along.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, listen to me, please believe in our law court, they will not wronged a good person, nor will they let a bad person go." Li Xuanqing pressed his hands, and his clear voice faintly suppressed the voices of all the people, "Let me say it again, Xuan Yingwei will never set his eyes on his fellow people, and the Cui family's big crime is that someone within the Cui family took the initiative to report it to the imperial government." Please also rest assured, as a powerful foreign enemy organization of the empire against foreign enemies in the field, Xuan Yingwei will never fail to live up to the trust of the people. ”
