40. In the retrial case, the nobles threw sharp weapons

After Liyang Ling came to the court, he shouted loudly: "Lord! It is the auxiliary xing of the job killing, and it has nothing to do with Zuo Shu Changying. ”

Qin Gong snorted coldly: "Oak Yang Order!" The matter of who killed will be discussed again. You are now a witness, so it's important to tell you what happened! ”

After receiving the order, Liyang Ling said: "Lord! Ladies and gentlemen! The day after the incident, the post was according to the requirements of Zuo Shu Changying! reported the matter in detail to Zongzheng Mansion, and even the ten witnesses who saw it with their own eyes on the street were sent to Zongzheng Mansion. But Zongzhengfu replied two days later: Zongzhengfu only manages the nobles. According to the law of the ancestors: in the event of a conflict between a high title and a low title, the lower title bears full responsibility regardless of whether it is justified or not. The title of Zuo Shu Chang Martingale is lower than that of the Great Shu Chief, and although his fifth son cannot inherit the Dashu Chief, he is awarded the title according to the downgrade of three levels, which is also five levels higher than the Zuo Shu Chief. Therefore, Zuo Shu Chang Martingale should bear full responsibility. Since both sides were fine, the two sides were instructed to reconcile, and Liyang ordered the immediate release of the nobles, and had no right to detain the nobles.

After the job was accepted, he was not satisfied, and sent to the public again to ask: 1. According to the law of the ancestors: the people collide with the officials, that is, they offend the government, and the punishment is circumferential. The fifth son of the auxiliary family, although he is a nobleman, has not been awarded a knighthood, nor has he been awarded an official, he belongs to the people, and he is punished according to the law. 2. According to Article 2 of the First Order, Liyang Order has the right to deal with private fights, and the fifth elder of the auxiliary family who is not satisfied with the government's disposition should be punished first, and then punished according to the law. ”

Liyang Ling sighed, and then said: "Zongzheng Mansion will return to Jane two days later: Zongzheng Mansion is not an official government, regardless of the laws implemented by the government, let alone the laws of the first order. Therefore, these two laws are invalid for Zongzheng Fu. As he spoke, he handed the two volumes of Zongzheng Mansion to Zongzheng Ling. After handing it over, he continued: "Fuxing: It is one crime to drive a car on the street, it is a crime to collide with an official's car with a citizen's body, it is a third crime to hit and injure an official who is on routine official business, and it is a crime to disobey the government's disposition after committing a crime. Therefore, when the facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient, it is necessary to admit guilt. Who knows that Fuxing not only pleaded not guilty, but also angered and insulted his subordinates. Zhi was angry for a while, and swung his sword to kill Fu Xing. This has nothing to do with Zuo Shu Chang Marting, and guilt should also be guilty. Qin Gong waved his hand and ordered majestically: "You stand aside and wait!" Chuan Chongquan auxiliary pavilion chief! ”

Where did the assistant pavilion chief think that he would be involved in such a big case, and he saw so many adults, especially when he saw Qin Gong for the first time, he was a little incoherent with excitement, but he finally explained the matter clearly, and was waved by the Zongzheng order, and drank to the side and stood.

Lao Zongzheng was in a hurry again, and after taking Jane and looking at it, he sighed and didn't know how to interrogate, and shut up.

Gan Long knew that it was time for him to play, so he bowed his hand to Duke Qin and spoke: "Lord! Decree! The old courtyard is positive! The minister looked at the official slip in detail, Liyang ordered the code of conduct, and the Fuxing street car rushed into the car and overturned the car of Zuo Shu Changying, and injured Zuo Shu Changying, ten people saw it with their own eyes, the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and the case can be decided. The key now is that it is very difficult to punish the nobles. According to the Qin law, the Liyang Order and the Zuo Shu Chang Martingale acted in accordance with the law without mistakes. However, according to the Qin law and the ancestral system, the Zongzheng decree was also acted in accordance with the law, and the judgment was correct and not wrong. Both sides are right, but both are in different ways, and both are wrong. This is a matter of usage, lord! The minister thinks: This is the key issue in the review of this case! Tsukasa Du Zhi also then arched his hand and said: "Lord! Decree! The old courtyard is positive! Although Gongsun Jia and Gongzi Qian were the judges of this case, they were the same as Liyang Ling, they both acted according to the law and judged the case according to the law. Behaviorally, the result is the same. It's just that Fuxing was punished because no one rescued him, and Keqing was saved by someone to save his life. But this incident raised a problem for the Qin State that should not be solved angrily: that is, the transfer of legal power and the supervision of legal power. Otherwise, what about a one-time visit? On the premise that there are no checks and balances on each other, is it difficult to call the law the law? It's the same as measuring uniformity. After speaking, he was silent.

After hearing this, Duke Qin was shocked: these two old ministers who are dedicated to the public are impartial and go straight to the point. Isn't that what happened? According to the civil law, Liyang Ling and Gongsun Martingale are not wrong, and it is correct to kill Fuxing. According to the aristocratic law, Gongsun Jia and Gongzi Qian are not wrong, and it is also correct to kill Gongsun Ying. It seems that this matter is very tricky, right? If it is not resolved, these nobles will really come again, no. It is possible to come several times, and if you don't kill Gongsun Marting, you won't give up. But this time, if you want to find a chicken to come out and kill and scare the monkeys, it seems that it can't be done. Thinking of this, Duke Qin let out a long sigh and said, "After hearing this, the widow also felt that the two of them were old Cheng Mouguo, and what they said was very good. If there was no conflict of legal powers, and there were checks and balances of legal powers, the widows also thought that this matter would not have happened. Now that the two of you have raised this matter of legal power, then please ask the nobles to discuss it! How should the Zongzheng Mansion use legal power to govern the aristocracy without conflicting with the civil law? ”

Duke Qin threw this hot potato to the nobles. The nobles talked for a while, and there was a buzz in the hall. Gongsun Jia, Gongzi Qian, and Gongsun Ying all wanted to speak, but when they thought about their respective identities, they wanted to speak and stopped.

But after Lao Zongzheng coughed and coughed, he opened his mouth: "The old man has served three generations of national princes, and he was originally a member of the army. The old man remembered something, and it was when Xiangong had just stepped on the throne. The change of the eldest son of the Duke of Qin to support the public position is similar to what happened today. According to the law of the ancestors, killing the monarch is a major crime of rebellion and punishing the nine clans. According to the Gong, if there is no change in the head of the clan to kill the son, there will be no chance to end the civil strife of the Gong clan for more than 100 years. Although the chief of the concubine committed suicide after the dedication of the prince, the dedication of the prince was not guilty of his family, and his descendants are still guarding this side of the Qin from now on. Speaking of this, the old Zongzheng suddenly stopped talking, closed his eyes, and bent down on the mat to be a puppet.

This was due to the fact that it involved Gong Qin's father, so no one dared to answer, and the hall fell silent for a while. Just when the silence was terrifying, Huo Gu, the old courtyard official, suddenly spoke: "I am a participant in this matter." Xiangong told me very clearly: Changing the concubine has great merit and the country, so he does not offend his family. The chief of the concubine is guilty of the public family, and he messed up the ancestral etiquette law, and his crime should be punished. But the old man didn't understand, what was the similarity between this matter and today's events? I want to ask the Zong Decree, what do you mean? ”

Zong Zhengling had to answer when he was asked, he raised his head and looked at the old courtyard and returned: "I'll just say that, what's the point." ”

The old courtyard smiled coldly: "Oh, the old man still thinks: You mean, Keqing is like the chief of the reform." ”
