Chapter 064: Completely Single
There is a saying that debts are repaid and murder is paid off, and I am afraid that any child on the street can say it very smoothly. As far as the cause of this case is concerned, the little marquis who has already become a ghost is not unforgivable, not to mention the son of An Guihou, the uncle of the dynasty. Qin Kongyun and Yang Zhi reunited after a long absence, and they were also afraid of scaring the scheming and simple-hearted Shen Yu, so they said it very tactfully at first glance. Although Geng Chao and others do not necessarily have to pay for their lives, they are afraid that they will shed their skin if they don't die, which is by no means the "pain of ringworm scabies" as he said before.
In fact, the three of them knew that the emperor would never want to behead Geng Chao and others in order to seek justice for an unlucky gentleman. The two powerful groups, the military and foreign relatives, are both important forces in maintaining the internal and external rule of Great Xia. So it is not difficult to imagine that the emperor must also be scratching his head and struggling to find a reason to pardon Geng Chao and others for their capital crimes.
Not only can it not make the hearts of millions of soldiers in Great Xia chill, but also calm the sky-high resentment of the queen and the wealthy family forces behind her. It is necessary to make both sides reasonable, and to show the imperial prestige so that they will be restrained in the future. What made the emperor particularly troublesome was that he, as the supreme ruler, could never cut down the infinite fig leaf of "the prince who broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime". Even if you find such a reason, you have to find a spokesperson who can fully understand its intentions!
Xu Wenhan obviously thought of this a long time ago, and while he wanted to play this role, he also wanted to take advantage of the situation to resolve the embarrassing situation brought to the emperor and Yang Zhi by the resurrection of Yang Zhi's death. Although Wei Feiyang's situation is slightly better, Geng Chao and Shen Chong left their posts without permission and killed people on the street, causing the generals to transfer troops behind without authorization. Even if Xu Wenhan is a super-first-class lawyer, he does not dare to hope that the case can be completely overturned.
The general outline of his thoughts was said: "As soon as the third brother's secret music is on, the emperor should feel a little at ease. When the emperor summons you to the court, in addition to the vague section on the assassination of the Khan of Tuodu, you might as well elaborate on all the merits of your campaign in front of the civil and military officials. Then he led the topic to the case of the murder of the little marquis, tried to find some reasons to take the blame of Geng Chao and others on himself, and then took the initiative to ask the lord to atone for the crime. ”
"The emperor will go through the motions and ask the ministers what they think about this, and then the foolish brother will be the first to second. I will first list the bad deeds of the little marquis's life, and then use his blatant insulting of his younger siblings as an excuse, biting Geng Chao and others to death is not intended to kill, but only to provoke righteous indignation and theory. Unexpectedly, the little marquis not only refused to admit his mistake, but instead caused friction between the two sides. So Geng Chao and others were forced to defend themselves, and then they accidentally injured people's lives. Finally, it is suggested how this matter should be concluded, and the emperor should be asked to judge it. ”
"In order to seek that both sides should not be offended, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China will keep silent and will not clearly express their dissent. Although General Ran Wei is far away in Shuofang, he is usually an upright person, and General Geng will not sit idly by and watch Geng Chao pay for his life, and someone from the military and Wenchen who is biased towards the military will definitely come forward to intercede. In addition, Shen Zhong is the only son of Ling Yue, and Ling Yue is the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and there is no shortage of people who have good friends with him in the court, and there may be people who go out to work. ”
Qin Kongyun nodded again and again: "With such a three-pronged approach, this article has been done in a way that is reasonable, reasonable, and legal." As long as it can be concluded that the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, the emperor can talk to the queen and An Guihou. ”
Yang Zhi only groaned silently and did not agree.
Xu Wenhan's methods are one ring after another, and there seems to be no other way out. His so-called justification for killing is actually playing the routine of "excessive defense and manslaughter" in his previous life. Wei Feiyang is the commander of the gate, Geng Chao and Shen Chong are the young generals of the forbidden army, no matter how invincible the little marquis is, I am afraid no one believes that he will provoke such a wolf-like three people without knowing whether he is alive or dead. The Li family of An Guihou has become a force of its own, and has the support of the queen, Lao Xu, a defense lawyer, is really not good!
Xu Wenhan asked, "Third brother, do you think there is anything wrong with my method?" At that time, there will be a fierce debate on the Golden Palace, and the details really need to be considered and perfected. ”
"The general idea is good, but I don't think it's a matter of refinement." Yang Zhi frowned and said: "According to the emperor's temperament, as long as he thinks that I will be useful in the future and has no dissenting intentions, I dare to say that even if I do something out of the ordinary, he will not easily touch me." This is what the eldest brother said that it is good to enjoy the shade with his back against the big tree, but there is also a risk of being struck by lightning with his back against the big tree! Don't you think I'm a little too embarrassed here? If my credit is only used in exchange for the lives of Geng Chao and others, it will be too wasteful, and I can't let the emperor pick up such a big bargain for nothing. ”
Qin Kongyun was stunned and said: "The third brother's merits are known to the whole country, but he just left behind two false titles that have no real positions, and your reputation will not be damaged in the slightest. Why should the third brother bother about this? ”
"No matter how this matter ends, the Li clan will regard me as a mortal enemy in the future. It's only a matter of time before I want to turn my face, so why should I pretend to be a good person? There are not many scheming people in the military, and it is not difficult to think that I am a scheming person, but the vast majority of people will think that I am too cowardly! In this way, I will definitely find myself in an embarrassing situation where I am not happy on both sides. It's nothing to leave behind two useless false titles, but I already have a great reputation, but it will be a big capital in the future, so I can't help but take it seriously! ”
Yang Zhi said coldly: "I don't have the slightest possibility of riding the wall in this matter, so I can only stand on the side of the military with a clear banner." At present, the emperor is only forced to need the support of his relatives and heroes, but since ancient times, as long as the emperor can firmly grasp the army, what is the good end for the few people in the harem and relatives who interfere in politics? I'm a businessman, and if I have those few credits, even if I lose money, it's not a big deal, if I want to make a profit, I have to make a full profit! ”
Xu Wenhan's eyes lit up, and he asked in confusion: "What does the third brother mean......?" ”
"If my brother wants to be saved, I want my name, and I want my benefit. Although I have little interest in military power for the time being, I must make the emperor and Wei Geng, the two military giants, owe me a great favor! That kid is blind and dares to mess with my wife? No matter what kind of bullshit the prince is, even if they see a bedbug in Lao Tzu's house in the future, they have to walk around me! ”
Nine out of ten minutes on weekdays, this uncle has a good temper like a harmless quail, and the remaining murderous minute is a rare occurrence in a century. Xu Wenhan had vaguely thought of Yang Zhi's plan: "Does the third brother want to come forward to fight this imperial lawsuit with Na An Guihou himself?" ”
"Big brother, the lawsuit is not as you say." Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "To put it bluntly, isn't it just a hollowing out of your mind and desperately denying it?" The left and right are full of singles, and there is no need to be ashamed to answer half-hidden. Since it's not bad, then if you want to rely on it, you have to rely on it. ”
Qin Kongyun exclaimed, "...... Thoroughly? Third brother, no matter how you say that An Guihou is a bitter master, it is always a fact that the little marquis and the guards of the Hou Mansion died on the street, how can they be completely escaped? ”
"One yard is one yard, he killed him, what does it matter to me? It's time for me to change paths. Yang Zhiyin smiled: "You only know that An Guihou is a bitter master, have you forgotten me, the victim's family?" Do you think I should sue the son of the dead devil? Or sue his father? - Oh, by the way, I bother the two brothers to inquire about the day when the unlucky child will be mourned, and I will go to the door to offer condolences. ”
