Seeing Cao Jie crying bitterly, Liu Hong felt distressed, after all, since he ascended the throne at a young age, there are not many people who can be trusted, and most of them are close to eunuchs, regard them as family members, and trust them very much.

This is also the main reason why he was able to be swayed by others and live in the blindness of eunuchs.

The two parties later quarreled, and Cao Jie scolded his nephew for losing his brother and scolded him for not being effective.

Although Fu Wan is a scholar, this matter is related to the life and death of Fu Quan, coupled with Cao Jie's insults, insults to the family's reputation, and the Han people's integrity, how can he be rampant, he is arguing with reason, and the two sides are fierce, so they almost fought in the palace, which made Liu Hong have a headache.

Qing Mo cried, this matter still needs to be investigated, but Tannu's murder is indisputable, so Henan Yin immediately investigated the matter. If you really kill Tan Nu for revenge, then do something else. Liu Hong made a decision and didn't do anything else.

"No." After listening to it, he was overjoyed, and then retreated, the emperor's words were already clear, Fu Quan was really revenge and killing Cao Poshi would have a way to save it.

Cao Jie was in pain again after hearing this, and howled: "Your Majesty, how can this son kill my Han minister, how can he be punished so lightly? ”

He hoped to change Liu Hong's mind with this familiar means, but it backfired, Liu Hong listened to Fu Wan's words, and was already dissatisfied with Cao Jie in his heart, and he hated him deeply, so he didn't listen to his words at all.

Henan Yin Guan, the emperor's decree has been issued, and after receiving the order of the imperial court, Yang Zhi filed the case, and immediately tried the case.

After all, at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the hundred schools of thought left over from the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty were still very prosperous, and it was not the situation when Emperor Wu later deposed the hundred schools of Confucianism, and the famous Zhang Cang, Jia Yi, Chao Cuo and others were all from Legalism.

In the lobby of the official office, the impeacher appointed by Cao Jie was already in front of the hall, and Fu Quan looked at him, surprised in his heart, because he was an acquaintance, and it was the person who had taken his kidnapper from the Yin official office in Henan that day.

"Impeachment" was an indispensable part of litigation in the Han Dynasty, and it was also the beginning, and the word has two meanings. A private prosecution is called a "lawsuit", that is, if the plaintiff directly files a lawsuit with the judicial organ in later generations; The "impeachment" of the public prosecution refers to the filing and investigation of cases by supervision officials and administrative officials, and the supervision officials of the Han Dynasty had the duty of "investigating illegal" and "impeaching" crimes.

Yin Facao of Henan read out the "Han Law" and asked the gray-robed informant whether he had pleaded, that is, a defense that proved not to be emotional, which meant to inform him that he had the right to change his previous statement during the statutory period.

Yang Zhi said: "Complainant Zhao Cao, you told Cao Poshi that he was killed by Fuquan for no reason, are you willing to change?" "The plaintiff is the plaintiff if he accuses, denounces, or accuses the other party.

Zhao Cao!

As soon as he heard this name, Fu Quan was stunned for a while, and looked at the gray-robed man and trembled unconsciously, Zhao Cao Zhao Cao, isn't it just looking for a?

"Mingfu, don't change it. This son is extremely ferocious, cruel and unreasonable, Yu implores the Ming government to punish him severely, if so, then where does the prestige of the Han family exist? Cao is an important minister of the general state, how can he be killed at will? ”

"This matter can be discussed later, the litigant Fuquan, you plead guilty?" The litigant, the dispute, is the person who fights with the plaintiff.

"Quan confessed, but I stabbed this thief to death not for no reason, because Cao Poshi insulted my uncle as a guinea dog, Yu freely read the "Book of Filial Piety", how could he tolerate this thief's rampant, so he stabbed him with a sword. Dare to ask the Ming Mansion, what is Yu doing wrong? ”

Yang Zhi immediately replied: "It's not wrong, but your father is humiliated, and this is a shame for human feelings." But if you are a filial son, you need to know that anger will be difficult, and you will not be tired of your relatives, and you will betray your relatives and be angry, kill people during the day, forgive if it is unrighteous, and if the punishment is unbearable, what will it be? "Of course, Yang Zhi can't say that Fuquan is right to take revenge.

Although this is due to the current social atmosphere, there is widespread sympathy and support for the avengers, but this matter has been taken seriously by Liu Hong, Yang Zhi only knows that Liu Hong wants to investigate thoroughly, but does not know that he intends to protect Fuquan, and it is a trial in accordance with the "Han Law", and violations and crimes must be investigated, in order to show his integrity.

Fu Quan said: "Why does the Ming Mansion say this? I didn't kill people out of anger, but I was loyal and righteous, and I dared to ask the Ming Mansion, how can I kill the disloyal traitor? ”

"Thief, Hugh is talking nonsense. General Cao is a captain of the Yue cavalry, an important minister of the Han Dynasty, is he a traitor? What do you say? Zhao Cao heard that Fu Quan actually took a bias from the topic, and before Cao Poshi could say anything, he turned out to be a traitor, and couldn't help shouting angrily.

Yang Zhi shouted at him: "This is a public court, and you have not been allowed to speak, and you have to make noise." Then he asked Fu Quan, "Why did you say that?" ”

"Dare to ask the Ming Mansion, the courtiers scolded the monarch as a guinea dog, is it a traitor?"

"It must be." Yang Zhi immediately said, Confucianism flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and under the guidance of the Confucian ideology of "respecting relatives", loyalty and filial piety were taken very seriously.

"Even so, Cao Poshi will rebel against the thief."

"Why?"

"His majesty is insulted as a guinea dog."

Yang Zhi's eyes were surprised, and he secretly said why this Lang Jun was talking nonsense, and Cao Poshi had said this, but he knew that his person must have an explanation, so he asked: "What is this?" ”

"My fourth ancestor Chen Gong Shang Gaoping Princess, uncle Shang Xian Emperor eldest daughter Yang'an Princess, its thief insulted my uncle, then my ancestor Chen Gong was also humiliated, and the guinea dog must be a guinea dog, then Gaoping, Yang'an princess are also guinea dogs, and those who give birth to guinea dogs are also guinea dogs, according to what he said, all the emperors are guinea dogs, what about Your Majesty? In the public, his thief is rebellious and insults His Majesty, if he is not a traitor, what can he say? Yu is a boy given by the imperial court, how can he let his words insult His Majesty? In private, Your Majesty is my uncle, Wangong is my uncle, his thief's words are insulting, the righteousness of "Spring and Autumn", the minister does not please the thief is not the minister, the son does not take revenge and is not the son, if I don't mention the three-foot sword blade this thief, what is the face of the world? Fuquan shouted, the whole hall was shocked, even the knife and pen clerk who recorded the case next to the hall wrote halfway, and he didn't know how to write it, looked up at Yang Zhi, and signaled how to deal with it, remember it or not.

Yang Zhi was also shocked at this time, but fortunately, he had been in the officialdom for many years, his face was calm, and he could still maintain his composure.

Indeed, according to what Fu Quan said, Cao Poshi insulted Fu Wan, reasoning according to his identity as an imperial relative, the emperor was also scolded as a pig and dog, what is wrong with insulting the emperor as a traitor?

Let's ask about ancient and modern times, there are many subordinates who contradict the emperor, but those who dare to insult the emperor are all traitors.

The front of the hall is quiet, but some people can't be quiet, Zhao Cao didn't think that the corners of Fuquan's mouth around him were so smart, and in a few words, he said that this matter would be the killing of the traitor on behalf of the imperial court, is this okay?

Thinking of the words of Cao Jie's cronies he received when he came, he knew that he had to atone for his sins, so he said without thinking: "The erector is rampant, and General Cao insults your uncle, who can prove it?" What's more, General Cao is an important minister of the Han Dynasty, how can he insult Your Majesty, and you don't want to take advantage of your tongue again. ”

"In this case, yesterday's events have been searched by the Fa Cao envoys, and they will listen to their stories." Yang Zhi didn't want to be entangled, so he directly called the investigator to come and corroborate.

Before long, a black-robed official stepped forward and said after saluting Yang Zhi: "Ming Mansion, yesterday I visited everywhere, and the neighbors around Pan Jun's house heard that someone shouted, 'Fuzi Quanyi Dolphin Dog Ears'. ”

"Nonsense, how could General Cao say this? It must be just a fake shout from this erector. Zhao Cao knew that if he wanted to cure Fuquan's crime, he must now prove that Cao Poshi's insult to Fu Wan was fake, so he shouted without thinking.

"I'm not talking nonsense, there are several people in Pan Jun's neighbors who can testify."

As soon as he said a word, Zhao Cao was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
