Chapter 141: Father's Thoughts
Li Ke's voice landed, and there was an uproar in the court.
Retrial of the Du Fuwei case.
What does this mean? The bystanders may still react, but Li Xiaogong and the participants of the incident back then, the people involved were shocked.
What does a retrial mean? Why did Li Ke suddenly make such a suggestion?
Just like he said, because he is the king of Wu and the governor of Anzhou, he understands the situation in the south and the hearts of the people? Such rhetoric can only be a high-sounding excuse.
But I have to admit that it is a reasonable and weighty advice. It is really logical for King Wu to talk about the affairs of the south.
And Li Ke was very clever and used the word "retrial" instead of a retrial.
He did not deny the conclusion of the verdict that year, but just let it be tried again, and the result would be the same as last time, so that the people of Jianghuai would have nothing to say and no longer have suspicions.
Of course, if the outcome is different, it is a different story. In a word, the purpose is to calm the people's minds.
It's a very high-sounding, but very weighty reason, at least it's hard to refute.
Of course, if you have the heart, it is not impossible to refute it. For example, raising Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, after all, this was a matter that Li Yuan personally decreed back then, and now he is retried in vain, which will inevitably mean disrespectful to Emperor Gaozu.
But there is a special situation here, if the next dynasty raises the founding monarch, the emperors of later generations will inevitably have awe and scruples.
But Li Shimin is the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his exploits so far have overshadowed the founding ancestor Li Yuan. The most important thing is that in the nine years since the Xuanwumen Change, Li Yuan has always been the emperor.
Emperor Taishang is a very delicate identity, nine years of martial arts, and Li Yuan, who is still in the prime of life, has abdicated, which seems to be enough to explain the problem.
Dare to force his father to abdicate, will Li Shimin be in awe of the so-called Emperor Gaozu?
Of course, it may have to be this way on the surface, but in the heart. His Majesty Li Er will definitely be very tired of resisting. If anyone makes him unhappy on this issue, then he will most likely make someone unhappy as well.
The officials in the court are all smart people, and of course they won't be unhappy for themselves.
Therefore, Li Ke's voice landed, and no one said anything to refute it, and everyone's eyes fell on Li Shimin, waiting for the emperor's final judgment.
His Majesty Li Er hesitated slightly, looking at Li Ke's gaze a little deep, and a pair of eyes swept from the ministers without a trace.
Cen Wenwen, who was standing closer, subconsciously moved his sleeves, he knew that he couldn't hide it from the emperor, and he never planned to hide it.
"What Li Ke said is not unreasonable!" Li Shimin's words set the tone. It makes many people's hearts rise and fall strongly.
Li Shimin's gaze swept over the ministers below, and said leisurely: "In the case of Du Fuwei, since the people of Jianghuai have many questions, what does it matter if they try it again and clarify the facts?"
In this way, the rumors will not be misleading, and the suspicion will continue, and the people's hearts will be reassured. Ma Zhou, you will be in charge of hearing this case, with the assistance of Sun Fujia of Dali Temple. ”
"Yes. Obey the order! "Ma Zhou and Sun Fujia both went out to lead the class.
Sun Fujia breathed a sigh of relief, this case is too tricky, no matter how he decides, he will eventually offend people. Now there is another chief judge. It's great that you don't have to take the responsibility and risk anymore!
Ma Zhou was a little helpless, but he didn't worry too much, so he gladly accepted the order. He is a servant of the imperial history. He has always been loyal and upright, and the emperor's close ministers have a lot to know about prison matters. It is not surprising that such a large case is being tried.
The reason why His Majesty Li Er chose Ma Zhou is also related to his background, a student from a poor family in Bozhou, who has little to do with the powerful of the family, and can have fewer scruples and troubles when trying the case.
However, some people are keenly aware of a subtlety, that is, Du Fuwei is a reckless hero, and he is also from a humble background. is similar to Ma Zhou's background, will Ma Zhou have the same fate and be slightly biased when he is tried?
Although it is small and subtle, how could His Majesty Li Er, who has always been discerning, not notice? He was still so decisive, and he made arrangements in a very short time, perhaps a hint of the emperor's attitude......
Many people are even more suspicious in their hearts, His Royal Highness King Wu, who doesn't talk much in the court, suddenly opened his mouth today, and mentioned such a shocking case, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence.
The father and son are connected, maybe it is not known that His Majesty the Emperor secretly dialed it......
Thinking of these, many people with a heart realized that this retrial may not be simple, and the result will be very interesting.
The most worried is naturally Li Xiaogong, his face is ugly, and he was the one who concluded that Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi colluded with him. Wouldn't retrying the case many years later be tantamount to questioning him?
Not to mention Chi Guoguo's slap in the face, what is more important is the result of the retrial...... If you are upright, you are not afraid of shadows, but you remember what you did in Jianghuai back then......
I thought that no one else knew about it, at least there was no proof of death, but Kan Leng's sudden resurrection from the dead made everything uncertain.
What's more important is the emperor's attitude, the world is peaceful, and the emperor no longer needs a clan relative with heavy troops. Or maybe he already has a replacement next to him, such as the heroic and extraordinary His Royal Highness King Wu in front of him......
Li Xiaogong's mood was suddenly very heavy.
Li Shimin, who was on the throne, didn't know whether he saw it or not, and said in a deep voice: "As for Xie Yi, first pardon him from Dali Temple and participate in the cowpox experiment, and the merit will be ruined......
Ma Zhou, Kan Lingxing's assassination case, you will try it together, and you must clarify whether the implicated people are involved, the severity of the crime, and so on. ”
"Obey the order!"
……
Just a sentence, Xie Yi went out of Dali Temple.
It's not an acquittal, but once a person is released from prison, will he be locked up again?
Xie Yi was involved in a major case of assassination and rebellion, and the emperor didn't care so much, coupled with the reiteration of Du Fuwei's case, it seems to be enough to explain the problem.
The emperor deliberately avoided the word "crime" that commits merit to crime, which shows that Xie Yi is not convinced that Xie Yi is guilty, and even believes that he is not guilty.
This is the key, Jane is the biggest life saver in the emperor's heart.
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Cen Wenwen's hanging heart was also put down, and the expressions of several veterans such as Cheng Zhijie were also much more relaxed.
Li Ke stood back in place calmly, as if nothing had happened on the surface, but his thoughts fluctuated in his heart.
The gazes that fell on him intentionally or unintentionally were even sharper, as if they could kill at any time!
Li Xiaogong's expression was solemn, probably thinking about how to deal with the next troubles, how in-depth Ma Zhou's investigation would be, and how could he defend and refute it? What is the emperor's side going to do with him?
The crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai rarely had the same thoughts, and their hearts were full of resentment.
One is waiting to avenge the broken leg, and the other has been painstakingly arranging for so long, and when he is about to succeed, there are branches.
Xie Yi actually left Dali Temple safely, which is ......
and Li Ke, the third child who has not paid much attention to it, made such a big move quietly.
Why did he do it? What do you want to do?
What's more important is what is the mind of the monarch on the throne?
