Considering that the public trial was the first time that the eldest girl was in a sedan chair, the Empress Dowager and Wang Mang decided to have a rehearsal according to Wang Shu's request. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since it was a color auction, it was impossible for more audiences to know, so the palace maids and eunuchs temporarily replaced the princes and the courtiers to observe, and two little eunuchs were selected to accompany Dong Xian and Fu Wen.

According to the procedure, Dong Xian was the first subject of public trial.

As a result, Liang Zuo, as the prosecutor, had not finished reading out the indictment against Dong Xian, and Wang Xu, as the director of the scene, had to temporarily stop.

"When the Son of Heaven was seriously ill, he did not personally serve and persecuted the Son of Heaven in a frenzy, and what other fallacies were there to confuse the public and attempt to overthrow the Holy Son of Heaven, can such a crime stand the test of history? Liang Tingwei, have you ever thought about whether a public trial like ours will be laughed off by future generations after a hundred or thousands of years. ”

"The old man has been judging the case for decades, how can you understand the doorway here, isn't it, Xinduhou?"

Unexpectedly, Liang Zuo ignored this stubble and said to Wang Mang instead.

"Zhongsun, don't retreat yet!" Although I feel that Wang Shu seems to be right, it is not good to refute Tingwei's face on the spot.

"Da Sima, Liang Tingwei, since I came to rehearse the public trial on the order of the Empress Dowager, so now that I am the biggest, everything must be done according to what I say!"

Seeing that the public trial will become a farce if it goes on like this, not to mention that the Empress Dowager is still listening behind the screen, Wang Shu has the backbone, of course he will not give an inch.

"Hmph, in that case, here you come!" Liang Zuo quit at that time, but fortunately, with the presence of the Empress Dowager, he didn't dare to really leave, but sat on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"No, brother, then it's up to you to make a sample, and I'll do it for you."

"Okay, then I'll read the indictment, and you will be the defender." Fortunately, Wang Yu and Chen Yu had discussed the public trial before, so Chen Yu took the indictment he drafted from Wang Shu and stood on the public prosecution seat.

"Was, the defendant Dong Xian, Dong, the word Shengqing, Feng Yi Yunyang, Suihe was promoted to Langguan by the prince Sheren in the second year of Suihe, because of the favor of the Son of Heaven, he was promoted continuously within four years, and finally the official was promoted to the Great Sima and was named Gao Anhou. After investigation, Dong Xian made a marquis by framing the former prime minister Wang Jia, and used the trust of the Son of Heaven to control the government, and at the same time, Dong Xian accepted the reward of the Son of Heaven without bowing down, and the tomb built was no different from the mausoleum of the Son of Heaven...... Therefore, the facts of Dong Xian's crime are clear, the evidence is credible and sufficient, and the defendant should be found guilty in accordance with law. ”

After all, it was the first time to experience a big scene, and Chen Yu was a little stumbling at first, but after all, Wang Yu was his own person, and he slowly relaxed.

At first, Liang Zuo was still disdainful, but when he listened to Chen Yu halfway through reading, he could only kneel in front of the screen.

"Get up, it's just a children's joke, why take it seriously."

The Empress Dowager knew that the public trial still had to rely on Liang Zuo, the court lieutenant, so after reading the indictment, she saw that Liang Zuo had also knelt for a long time, so she asked him to get up.

Then it entered the court debate stage, which was supposed to be Chen Yu as the defender, but this time it was Wang Shu and Chen Yu who debated.

"Dong Xian, you can plead guilty!" So when Kong Guang, who served as one of the presiding judges, asked this sentence, Wang Shu, who was not familiar with the laws of the Han Dynasty, could only drive ducks to the shelves.

"Confession! The sinner pleaded guilty! This is the eunuch pretending to be Dong Xian's voice.

"The circumstances presented by the prosecutor do not correspond to the facts, so our client is not guilty."

When Wang Shu said this, everyone present who had never played left and right were stupid.

They have never seen such a shameless person as Wang Shu, first saying that Tingwei's indictment cannot stand the test of history, and then wrote it himself.

Obviously, this time everyone thinks that the content of this indictment is reasonable, but you have a not-guilty defense, isn't it fun for us?

"Silence, silence!" Fortunately, he had already communicated with Wang Mang before, so he began to maintain order on the scene.

"The three presiding judges, the prosecutor mentioned in the indictment about framing the former prime minister Wang Jia, everyone knows that the appointment of prime minister Wang Jia is because of the inconsistency in the case of rebellion against the king of Dongping, and the impeachment of the left general Gongsun Lu, the right general Wang An, Guanglu Xun Ma Gong, Guanglu doctor Gong Sheng and others at that time was imprisoned.

As soon as the words came out, Kong Guang, who was sitting on the trial seat, was flushed, because he was also one of the many doctors who impeached Wang Jia, and he was the most energetic.

"The presiding judge, there is now the testimony of the Son of Heaven close to the eunuchs Chunsu and Gao Bin, which proves that Dong Xian wrote to the Son of Heaven for the matter of being a marquis, and tried his best to say that Prime Minister Wang Jia is useless in front of the Son of Heaven."

……

Everyone present only saw Wang Shu and Chen Yu arguing with each other, as if they were in a fog.

"Let's do it!" In the end, the Empress Dowager made the final decision.

Although the result was very good, Wang Shu was not happy, because he originally wanted to be a clerk for the trial, but he could only wash his hands and go home and wait.

Soon, it was the day of the public trial, and in Wang Xu's plan, it would take at least ten days and half a month for the case of Dong Xian and Fu Wen to come to fruition, but he didn't expect it to end on the same day.

"As soon as that Dong Xian came up, after hearing Tingwei say that he was guilty, he immediately confessed." It seems that Chen Yu is very dissatisfied with Dong Xian's obedient confession.

"Why, didn't anyone tell him you were his defender?"

"Having said that, he said that he knew that he was guilty and did not need to defend himself, and the Marquis of Xindu asked again and again, and he still said so."

"Isn't that the result of Dong Xian's case on the same day?"

"That's not it, according to what you said before, he has to admit the crimes he has committed one by one, and when it comes to this, a particularly funny thing happened!"

"What's wrong?"

"Dong Xian didn't know what was going on, maybe he heard someone say that he gave the emperor an aphrodisiac before he died, so he took the initiative to say it in court."

"What did he say?"

He said that the Son of Heaven favored him because of his strong ability, and it was okay for the Son of Heaven to pester him every night, saying that the aphrodisiac had wronged him. You said that this Dong Xian's body and bones are not very strong, how can he have good energy every day! ”

"Then you won't ask him quietly: Uncle, what do you usually like to eat?"

"you!"

Only through Chen Yuwang did he know that although Dong Xian's trial went smoothly, Fu Wen did not cooperate.

Although Fu Wen's crime was not big, he relied on his sister to be the queen, so not only did he not let Chen Yu defend him, but also refused to accept the trial, and even spoke wildly, including the princes and village elders who were observing, and scolded everyone present.

This caused public outrage, and before Liang Zuo could read out the indictment, the people who were watching shouted "Guilty, guilty." ”

In desperation, Wang Mang and others could only let Yan You and other witnesses testify in court, and the verdict was hastily announced.

Wang Xu couldn't have imagined that Dahan's first public trial would fail like this.
