Chapter 426: Friends are unacceptable
"Tu Butang is slow!"
Tu Xun was slightly stunned, and when he saw that it was Qin Guan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who spoke out, he was slightly unhappy in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He said in his heart that your family is hiding from the old man and sending you a second official to watch the play, then you can watch the play well, but you still jumped out to point fingers, what does this mean?
"Qin Shaoqing, what do you think?"
"Tu Butang, Jiang Bin has not been convicted yet, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to punish him at this time, right?"
In fact, Qin Guan didn't want to jump out of this troubled water, so he really had to do it.
If Tu Xun went through the motions and dragged this three-division trial over, then he would naturally be happy to see it. But Tu Xun didn't know what he had done, and he wanted to torture Jiang Bin.
If Jiang Bin has three longs and two shorts, His Majesty will not be able to explain it, and it will not only be the Criminal Department, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be able to run away like Dali Temple.
Qin Guan couldn't watch Tu Xun dig a pit for himself and jump into it.
"Hmph, the evidence is conclusive, what can't be tortured. Isn't it that Qin Shaoqing understands this criminal law decision better than this official? ”
Tu Xun is now relying on the old and selling the old!
That is to say, Qin Guan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is one level lower than Tu Xun, and if he is replaced by the official of Dali Temple, he will never be able to swallow this breath.
Tu Xun's meaning is already very clear, the old man is an official of the Criminal Department, and he has been in prison for many years, how can you, a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, comment at will.
It's a bit like you do it.
Qin Guan smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand Tu Butang, the lower officials didn't question Tu Butang's meaning, but this matter is better to consider in the long run." ”
Being stirred up by Qin Guan like this, Tu Xun gradually calmed down.
Just now Jiang Bin roared at the court, he was angry, so he ordered to beat this guy with 20 boards. This is already a punishment. If it is on this basis, it will have a bit of revenge for Jiang Bin's torture.
If it was someone else in the hall, Tu Xun could naturally do whatever he wanted, but Jiang Bin was different.
This guy is the most favored courtier of the Son of Heaven, and if he rushes to death before ensuring that he will fall out of favor, he will only burn himself.
Don't look at Tu Xungui as the secretary of the Criminal Department, but in fact, he can't enter the top five in the middle of the court.
The three scholars of the Criminal Department, plus the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, were the most powerful among the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is roughly equivalent to the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, slightly higher than the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry.
If Jiang Bin hadn't been completely planted this time, and would have sought revenge in the future, Tu Xun might not have been able to resist it.
At this time, Chen Zhuo, the left deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also coughed and said: "Brother Shaoyou is right, please think twice about Tu Butang." ”
Tu Xun couldn't laugh or cry. These two people are the two confinements imposed on him by the emperor, that is, if he wants to "act arbitrarily" once, he will also be locked to death.
"Well, let's put Jiang Bin down and take him to prison first."
Since it is a triage, there is no need to come up with a result at once, you can grind it slowly. Tu Xun, who is an official of the Criminal Department, naturally knows this.
As long as Jiang Bin is willing to bow his head and confess his guilt in the end, he will be able to make a mistake.
said that the left and right officials set up Jiang Bin and dragged him down the hall like a dead dog. The blood stains were spilled all over the ground, and it was terrifying.
At this time, there was only Jiao Fang in the hall. Xu is Jiang Bin's experience has had too much impact on him. The minister's face was pale, and his body trembled.
Tu Xun said proudly: "What, Lord Jiao is afraid? As long as Master Jiao is willing to admit his guilt, this official can not torture you. ”
Jiao Fang swallowed a mouthful of foam and said, "The old man is not guilty. ”
Tu Xun almost turned his back on his back, and said in his heart, why is this old man Jiao so hard-boned.
"Tu Butang, this case might as well be retried the next day."
Seeing that the situation was a little complicated, Qin Guan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, reminded on the side.
Tu Xun nodded and ordered: "Come on, put the prisoner Jiao Fang in prison as well." ”
"The old man is not guilty, the old man is not guilty. The old man wants to see His Majesty, and the old man wants to see His Majesty......"
After Jiao Fang was carried down by the officials, Tu Xun waved his hand a little bored and said, "Disperse." ”
Chen Zhuo, the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, arched his hand at Tu Xun and said, "It seems that Tu Butang is not in a good mood." ”
Tu Xun raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, didn't you ask knowingly. People bite to death and don't let go, who is the presiding judge won't be in the mood, right?
"In this matter, I'm afraid Tu Butang still has to discuss it with a few cabinet elders."
In the final analysis, this matter is not just as simple as burning Wenyuan Pavilion, but a political struggle between Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Xie Shen, Jiao Fang, and Jiang Bin in the cabinet.
When it comes to political interests, it is inevitable to take sides.
Although Tu Xun prides himself on being a clean stream, and has never made friends in his decades as an official, I am afraid that he has to avoid vulgarity in this matter.
In fact, he can't get used to Jiang Bin and his ilk, but it's still a little unacceptable to make the three cabinet members smaller.
"The official has his own plans."
After all, this case was ordered by His Majesty to be tried by the three divisions, at least on the surface, he was needed to come out as the secretary of the criminal department.
......
......
In the cabinet room, Li Dongyang was drinking tea by himself, and Xie Qian was giving a letter to draft an opinion, but Xie Shen frowned.
"Siming has something on his mind?"
Li Dongyang saw something abnormal, put down the teacup and asked lightly.
"Xiya Gong, it's just some private matter."
Xie Shen sighed helplessly.
"Oh?" Li Dongyang asked with interest: "I don't know what it is?" ”
"My eldest brother has a cough disease, and he has not improved for more than a month, and he has coughed up blood recently. I couldn't rest assured, and wanted to find an opportunity to take leave from His Majesty and go back to Yuyao to visit. ”
Xie Shen explained in a deep voice.
"I see." Li Dongyang nodded slightly: "This is human nature, as long as the four are clear, Your Majesty will not refuse." ”
"I hope so." Xie Shen walked up to Li Dongyang and said, "But before that, we still have to understand the cases of Jiang Bin and Jiao Fang." ”
Xie Qian also stopped his pen and said: "Siming is right, if you fight a snake, you won't die, and there will be endless troubles. This Jiang Bin is a person who will be repaid, Xiya Gong should not be soft-hearted. ”
This means that Li Dongyang should put pressure on the Criminal Department and tell the old ministry to close the case quickly.
"Donghu is an upright person, and the old man can still be trusted."
Li Dongyang forced out a smile and said: "At this time, the old man is going to speak, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." ”
Xie Shen smiled bitterly: "If Elder Ge doesn't say it, there really won't be anyone to say it." If I remember correctly, this Tubutang is a native of Xiushui, Zhejiang, and he is the same township as Xie Ge Lao and Mou. ”
Any emperor, as long as he is not stupid, will not tolerate his friends to control the government, and now there are already two Zhejiang ministers in the cabinet, if these two people are still in collusion with the criminal department, I am afraid it will make the sacred heart unhappy.
