Chapter 120: The Road (2-in-1)
In the Song Dynasty, the case was decided by taking into account human feelings, not to mention that the national teacher was involved, Zhao Zheng stated the facts of the case, and the next thing he needed was to collect evidence, Ye Zude saw the turbulent public sentiment and hurriedly stopped the court.

"Since there is a hidden situation, this official will deal with it at his discretion, and also ask the national teacher to hand over the witness, and after the official checks the facts, he will hold a trial, and he will be here for the time being today, and he will be retried in the coming day."
Ye Zude wanted to use the word "drag" to decide Zhao Zheng, of course, he would not let the matter drag on, and finally ended up without a problem: "According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, witnesses need to testify in court. ”
Ye Zude's face was embarrassed, Zhao Zheng was so unappreciative that he no longer insisted: "In that case, bring someone to testify!" ”
After a while, Chen Deyang's family of four took the lead in testifying.
"Who's in the hall?"
"Grass man Chen Deyang."
"The national teacher said that your family was kidnapped by Zhang Tianshi and stiffened your daughter Li Daitao, plotting against you, but what was the truth?"
"It's true!"
"Okay, you go down, this officer understands. Bring in the next person's ID. ”
The testimony of the witnesses was like a passing scene, and Ye Zude also wanted to understand the case in a hurry.
As Zhang Tianshi's face and beast heart were revealed, the emotions of the people outside the hall became more indignant, and the voice of the dog official was endless, Ye Zude was shocked, and immediately made a decision, and if the case was not closed, he was afraid that he would be torn apart by the believers of these national teachers outside the hall: "The case of Zhao Zheng killing Zhang Zumao is really Zhang Zumao's crime, heaven and earth are intolerable, people and gods are angry, and the blame is self-inflicted, the official first sentenced Zhao Zheng not guilty and released, and Zhang Zumao's descendants compensated Zhao Zheng 10,000 yuan." ”
The crowd outside the hall cheered, and Zhao Zheng was as quiet as water in the hall.
"Slow, according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, although this Zhang Zumao is extremely evil, he must not be replaced by Zhao Zheng, even if there is another hidden secret, but the law is the law, and there is no room for the slightest personal affection of the Ye Governor's Mansion!" Chen Guicheng stepped out with his head held high, and was quite dissatisfied with Ye Zude's hasty conclusion of the case.
Ye Zude was not flustered, anyway, he had already done what he should have done: "Then according to Chen Xianggong's meaning, what should I do?" ”
Chen Guicheng faced the ball kicked by Ye Zude, and was upright: "Under the national law, there is no selfishness, and there is no meritorious service, what Zhao Zheng has done, according to the law, is a rod of twenty, flowing three thousand miles!" ”
Chen Guicheng's words stunned everyone, Chen Guicheng is not only very prestigious in the clear stream, but also has a good reputation among the people, the people outside the hall can't understand why Chen Guicheng said this, but it undoubtedly disappointed them.
Ye Zude couldn't help but give Chen Guicheng a thumbs up in his heart, although he didn't want to get into trouble when he hastily closed the case in this case, he also had a lot of complaints about the national teacher instructing Liang Chengda to shout and kill Huzhou officials, which was related to his vital interests, of course, he hoped that Zhao Zheng would be beaten down from the mortal world and fall from the altar to the mortal world.
Zhao Zheng only understood at this time that what Chen Guicheng did today was definitely not because of his mistakes, but because he had the same purpose as himself, and in the face of Chen Guicheng's bombshell, Zhao Zheng decided to stand up again.
For the sake of the country, Zhao Zheng did only this thing.
"All men are created equal!" As soon as Zhao Zheng's words came out, everyone was even more shocked and couldn't do anything, such a big rebellious remark fundamentally shook the imperial power, which is the biggest taboo in this era.
When Chen Guicheng heard this, his throat couldn't help but dry, although he deduced what Zhao Zheng did in Huzhou, thus adding fuel to the fire, but he didn't expect Zhao Zheng's true thoughts to be like this, I don't know what the national teacher who has the closest relationship with him will do after hearing this.
"But the position of talent is different, some people are born into the family of emperors, they have to shoulder the burden of the country, and some people are born into poor families, but they also have to work hard."
Zhao Zheng's subsequent words made Chen Guicheng breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was faintly disappointed, playing just Dong Zhongshu's sympathy with heaven and man, and his fate was determined by heaven, but it was still the safest statement for the current situation.
"The responsibilities are different, but the way of heaven is always there, and there is no essential difference between people."
Zhao Zheng's words made people's hearts rise to their throats again, although they were said tactfully, they were diametrically opposed to the words before the hidden meaning, and the true meaning of the national teacher was also the opinion of the benevolent and the wise.
"The so-called no selfishness under the law, no nobility under the rules, I agree with this principle, and I am willing to accept the guilt!"
Zhao Zheng's words were like a stormy wave, so that Ye Zude almost fell off the bench: "National teacher, you can't do it!" ”
"So is the law of the land! Does Governor Ye want to excuse me? Zhao Zheng's heartfelt words made Ye Zude only promise.
Zhao Zheng turned to the people and said: "Under the national law, everyone is equal, and Zhao Zheng is willing to accept the guilt!" But I don't want corrupt officials to go unpunished, so I implore everyone to report it, don't let the law become a plaything for officials, and I hope I will be the first person to return the world to a clear mind! After speaking, Zhao Zheng suddenly knelt down and bowed to everyone. There is a faint sense of entrustment.
The people outside the hall were frightened by this scene and cried, and their tears poured out: "Entrusted by the national teacher, we will swear to repay each other and never let a wicked person go unpunished!" ”
Ye Zude suddenly understood at this time that Zhao Zheng was using himself as a bargaining chip to pull the civil official into the water, such a decision made him shudder, and regardless of the surging public sentiment outside the door, he ordered the door to be closed.
But the doorman was also born poor and has admired Zhao Zheng for a long time, of course he doesn't want Ye Zude to "isolate China and foreign countries" In case Ye Zude secretly does something to the national teacher in the lobby, they don't want to think about it, so they said loudly to the people outside the door: "I'm closing the door, you get out of the way." After saying that, he moved slowly.
Then the gate was rushed open by the people in front of it.
Ye Zude saw that the people were angry, shouting and shouting and killing and rushing in, and he didn't care about running away, so he tried to persuade Zhao Zheng: "National teacher, why bother like this, you are ruining my century-old foundation of the Great Song Dynasty!" You should be a pity for the world, and get away with this case! ”
Zhao Zheng didn't explain to Ye Zude, got up and stopped the people who rushed in, and bowed to everyone: "Zhao Zheng, thank you for your help, there are no rules, there is no circle, it is they who set the rules, but we who abide by the rules, and they are the ones who corrupt the rules." ”
One of us, they undoubtedly distinguish between friend and foe, draw a clear class, and let the people reach what the spearhead is pointing at: "But the way of heaven is majestic, people are doing it, the sky is watching, the etiquette and music are collapsing, and the society is out of order, it is because of the destruction of rules, we are not the destroyers of rules, we are not the gravediggers of the country, they are, what we have to do today is to use rules to help this society, this depends on me, you can't, it can't rely on officials, this needs us to unite day after day to complete, I believe that one day we will become the makers and guardians of this rule, and that is the world of great harmony that the saints talked about! ”
"So today, you are going to be willing to be punished, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, each person will be twenty sticks, three years in prison, Zhao Zheng will be with you!"
The enthusiasm of the people was mobilized by Zhao Zheng's words, shouting rules, rules!
Zhao Zheng turned around: "Lord Ye, please convict!" ”
"Please condemn!" The people shouted, and the extremely fanatical eyes made Ye Zude feel that his soul was burning, as if it was hell on earth, and it was indeed hell on earth for corrupt officials and people who wantonly broke the rules.
Ye Zude could imagine that if he was convicted, from today onwards, the people would regard officials as thieves, this was the beginning of the chaos, and he didn't dare to bear this crime, so he raised the shocking wood and slapped it on his head, fainting.
This scene shocked Zhao Zheng, but he didn't expect Ye Zude to be so decisive and courageous.
Chen Guicheng took a step forward and announced indifferently: "Chen Guicheng, the official counselor and political affairs officer, is here to take over the trial!" ”
――
Outside the Lin'an Mansion, the people did not know that they were witnessing history, and looked at the more than 100 people who were tortured on the stage in disbelief, led by Zhao Zheng, who was regarded by them as a god and the guardian of the Great Song Dynasty.
Outside the mansion, the minister of the political hall who got the news rushed to Lin'an Mansion with the forbidden army, anxiously persuading Zhao Zheng to accept his innocence. As long as the whip on Zhao Zheng's body goes down, there will be a deep rift between them and the people, what a terrible scene this is, seeing that Zhao Zheng does not appreciate it. So Xuan Xuan used the prerogative of the prime minister to announce the acquittal of Zhao Zheng, Zhang Tianshi was to blame for his own destruction, and Zhao Zheng killed him for the sake of heaven.
After that, he asked Chen Gui with an angry face what he wanted to be sincere.
Chen Guicheng can smile and say: "Act impartially, when I was going to Lin'an Mansion to sue the national teacher, I didn't see you blocking each other, and now I see that I can't do anything, so I want to clear the line and slide the world's big mistake!" ”
"Can Chen Dashen know the consequences of this? Do you want to cut yourself off from the scholars? Zheng Qingzhi was already dissatisfied with Chen Guicheng, a person who repeatedly contradicted the Shi Party, and his words were even more polite, with a faint threat.
Chen Guicheng laughed: "We are dedicated to the country, as long as we don't isolate ourselves from the king and the people." After speaking, he waved his hands: "Execution!" ”
"You dare!" Zhao Shanxiang has led the troops for many years, and he has a majestic atmosphere, and he was about to be executed.
Zhao Zheng can let them exert pressure: "Chivalry is forbidden with martial arts, and Confucianism is messy with literature, but in my opinion, you are not even worthy of Confucianism." Execute! ”
Zhao Shanxiang saw Zhao Zheng speak, knowing that things were irreversible, fortunately he had already prepared for the worst, and with an order, the forbidden army under his command rushed out and controlled the scene.
At this moment, the horse's hooves in front of him were flying, and a team of angry horses like dragons rushed out from the inside, Ma Defang read out Zhao Yun's holy decree: "The sun rises and loses, the east rises and the west sets, spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are timings, everything is reasonable, all the people are orderly, people are small under the avenue, although the order is the wall of imprisonment, it is also the shield of protection, the Great Song Dynasty to me all need to obey the order, abide by the law, abide by the ......"
Zheng Qingzhi almost fainted before he heard Zhao Yun's holy decree, the official family said this, it is to push the hundred officials to the opposite side of the people, a country is like this, it will be turbulent, the northern thieves are in flames, I am afraid that Mongolia will unify the north in the near future, and the army will be suppressed. But the Great Song Dynasty is still endogenously chaotic, the way to the country!
At this moment, Xuan Xuan not only waited for the courage from where to wait, but roared angrily: "Before going through the two mansions, this is a chaotic order!" Forgive the old minister for not being able to receive orders! ”
Xue Ji raised his head and shouted: "Conscious of the king, conscious of the people, what reason do we scholars have to exist?" For the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven abandoned like a bad thing and asked for the life of the people? But the people regard them as enemies! ”
After saying that, the sadness is abnormal, a small thing, it has caused such a turmoil, and the history is secluded, how to deal with yourself? And it was Zhao Zheng who knelt on the stage and was about to be tortured who caused the turmoil, did the national teacher really think that without us scholars, the world would be under great rule? Does the national teacher really think that it is a good thing for the people to treat officials as thieves?
Xue Ji suddenly knelt down to Zhao Zheng and shouted: "National teacher!" Is all this really what you want? At the moment of the great enemy in the north, are you willing to reappear in Jingkang's old affairs? Even if we are disrespectful to you, can't I Xue Ji make amends to you? Stop it! ”
Zhao Zheng lowered his head, and his tone was low and terrifying, like a voice forced out of his trachea: "Do you think I'm messing with this country?" ”
Xue Ji was stunned for a moment, and then followed Zhao Zheng's words: "It is we who are causing trouble in this country, if the national teacher has any strategy, just discuss it with us, the means don't need to be so radical!" ”
After Xue Ji finished speaking, Zhao Rushu also knelt down: "Please also ask the national teacher to think twice!" ”
In the face of Xue Ji's surrender that almost gave up resistance, Zhao Zheng's disappointment was even stronger, the so-called Tao is not the same, the two governments are so factional, they will not think of these consequences before deciding to accept Zhang Tianshi, they just underestimated Zhao Zheng's prestige and influence among the people, and also underestimated Zhao Yun's trust in Zhao Zheng. Seeing that the development of the situation had gone beyond their control and recklessly sought peace, except for Chen Guicheng, Zhao Zheng did not see a trace of wind and bones from them, only the dog jumped over the wall and was angry and corrupt.
"Execution!" Zhao Zheng was sentenced to ten sticks with a rod and exiled for 3,000 miles. The executioner didn't know what the war between the two governments and the national teacher was fighting for, and he only felt aggrieved and heartache for Zhao Zheng.
But Zhao Zheng was resolute in his mouth, he knew, he was a believer in Zhao Zheng, so he naturally believed all of Zhao Zheng's judgments and words, so he beat the stick.
Syllable!
The people outside the stadium didn't know what was going on inside, they only knew that there were countless living people, and the national teacher who was saving the suffering was being executed, and seeing the person they admired the most was so insulted, tears suddenly burst out of their eyes.
Seeing the people pouring down tears, Zheng Qingzhi laughed like crazy, then grabbed Chen Guicheng's clothes and roared: "Chen Guicheng, what do you want? Take refuge in Zhao Zheng? Sitting in the seat of Xuan Xianggong? No, sit in the former seat of Shi Xianggong? What I'm telling you is that you're wrong! No one will benefit from this struggle, except for making the Great Song Dynasty full of holes and letting the thieves have a chance, there is no other use! The dog still knows to wag its tail and beg for mercy to the owner, you are not even as good as a dog! ”
In the face of Zheng Qingzhi's gaffe words, Chen Guicheng only said lightly: "I only believe that the national teacher will not harm the country." ”
"Also, Zheng Xianggong, I want to ask you, what are we officials for? Do you know? Or have you forgotten about it? As long as we abide by the rules, this Song Kingdom will not be chaotic! ”
"When the water is clear, there are no fish, you know?" Zheng Qingzhi roared again, he was usually known for his indifference in his words, and his voice was indeed terrifying.
"But what water the fish need, you don't know, I don't know, the former Shi Xianggong doesn't know, but the national teacher may know!" Chen Guicheng said that he suddenly smiled here, maybe he was persuaded in his heart.
"You want to entrust Song Guo to him? Not to mention that he can't afford it, I just ask you if you can bear it? ”
There are some things that don't need to be said clearly, because some people don't understand until they die, and some people pretend to be confused, and there is no need for anyone to continue to communicate.
"He's just the leader, I'm the practitioner!" After Chen Guicheng finished saying this, he was speechless.
Three days later, a generation of rulers died on an unnamed street in Lin'an. (To be continued.) )
