64. Receive a public order and try the prince in accordance with the law
When Gongsun Ying heard this, "The lord is already waiting in the simple room, so he dares to leave someone to eat, so he has to let everyone go back first, and then discuss it tomorrow morning." [.I left everyone behind and hurried to the simple room.] In the simple room. Duke Qin paced around irritably, and as soon as he saw Gongsun Ying, he greeted him, grabbed the chief Zuo who was about to salute, and asked eagerly: "I heard that Yirong is here?" "Yes. The minister has placed the prince in the back room. Do you want to send it back to the palace? Gongsun Ying cautiously tested Gong Qin. After Qin Gong was silent for a long time, he reluctantly asked, "The widow also heard that the prince killed someone." No one asked about this in the past. But now? The unassuming righteousness has wasted a lot of effort. Yesterday the widow gave him a beating! I didn't expect it to be today, alas! However, the widow wanted to know the details. "Gongsun Martingale respectfully invites Duke Qin to sit down! But Qin Gong still paced around the simple room as if he hadn't heard it. Gongsun Ying had no choice but to stand and report the incident to Gong Qin in detail. After hearing this, Qin Gong stopped moving, stood in front of the window, and looked at the sky silently. As soon as Gongsun Yan saw that Qin Gong was silent, he further tested Qin Gong and said, "Do you want to ask the prince to come out, and the lord asks?" "No!" Qin Gong pondered for a long time before he spit out these two words. Only then did Gongsun Ying know the tangled psychology of Duke Qin, so he asked, "Then, how does the lord want the minister to end this matter?" Qin Gong turned around, walked to the back of the banquet case, and sat down. After the banquet, in order to hide his contradictory mentality, he subconsciously picked up the bamboo slips with both hands and flipped them over, and sighed: "It's a bit difficult to be a king of a strong country. Aiqing, no wonder Qin, there has only been one false duke in hundreds of years. Gongsun Ying hurriedly slapped over: "And the lord, you are a false prince in twenty years." Qin Gong rolled his eyes, his face was bitter, and after a low sigh, he lamented: "Zuo Shuchang! The widow knows that you want the widow to be a fallacy. Why don't you want to be a widow? But when it comes to such a thing as the prince, the widow doesn't want to be a false prince again. This is also the root cause of the difficulty of the initial order. It is easy to say that it is good to harm oneself and benefit the country, but it is not easy to do it. "My lord! Don't be so sentimental. The Qin Kingdom is all yours, and it is also the prince's. Look, let this matter be lawful, won't it be over? "Gongsun Ying intends to test Qin Gong again. Qin Gong frowned, his tiger eyes glared, the essence in his eyes, and the stabbing Gongsun Martingale couldn't stand it and lowered his head. He wanted to explain a few words, but Duke Qin didn't give him a chance, and asked bluntly: "Zuo Shuchang!" Yan Chu Ling was inconvenient, no less than 100,000 people. This is a widow played by Aiqing herself. Well, don't talk about that. Do you want to abandon Qin? Want to let the widow's career fall by halfway? "The minister never thought about it. With the lord so trusted, why did Martingale leave? Gongsun Ying hurriedly expressed his position in fear. Since this is the case, Aiqing knows how to do it. After speaking, Qin Gong stood up and walked away with an annoyed face. The next day. Left Governor's Mansion Chamber. Chairman of Gongsun Martingale Duanjung. Lao Zongzheng, Si Kou, Liyang Ling, and Qin Gongfu Fengchang (Fengchang, Qin official position, doctor, presiding over the affairs of the Qin Palace) are divided into left and right deputy seats. The prince, the prince, and the prince are prisoners with special status, so they each sit in the open space under the stage. The prince and the other three, as if they didn't care about this matter at all, admitted the facts described by Liyang Ling very readily, and did not change their words under Si Kou's repeated inquiries.
Gongsun Ying was exchanging something with Zongzheng, and the prince Fu Gongzi was impatient, and patted the case with his hand: "Zuo Shuchang, why pretend?" If you want to vent your personal anger at cutting off your head last time, just come directly! Sun Jia, the prince's master, hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "Prince, the chief Zuo is enforcing the law, is it the same as the last time we tried the chief Zuo?" Why hurt people? Last time, Zuo Shuchang committed the law, and this time the prince violated the new law, it depends on what the punishment is. When the prince heard this, he asked, "Zuo Shuchang!" According to the law, I am the one who defends the dignity of the prince and obstructs the prince's way, beheaded! According to the new law, the law is only for the nobility. Either way, I should have gone back to the government yesterday. After hearing this, Gongsun Ying nodded slightly, but said coldly: "The lord summoned the minister for this matter last night!" The Minister of Departure has full authority to deal with the matter. When the minister said goodbye, the lord only said: The prince broke the law, and the law was followed! When the prince heard this, he softened like a pickled eggplant. When the prince and Fu heard this, they stood up at the same time. The prince roared quickly with a pious mouth: "If you want to kill, kill it, don't use the lord to suppress the prince!" Gongsun Ying asked Gongsun Jia with a calm face: "Prince, I heard that you are a member of Qin Law." I would like to ask: If the official decree in charge of the national criminal law knows the law and intentionally violates the law, what should be the sentence? ”
Gongsun Jia shouted bitterly in his heart: You mean to take revenge! But after only the corners of his mouth twitched twice on the surface, he returned lightly: "Zuo Shuchang!" According to Qin's law: Civilian criminals roar in court, fifty rods! According to Qin law, knowing the law and intentionally violating the law can be punished with ink punishment, nose punishment, and slashing punishment. However, Qin law was only used for the head of Qian, and was not used for official positions above the nobles and doctors. Besides, although the crown prince is a nominal criminal law decree, he has never enforced the law. Shouting in court is just out of shame and indignation, and there is no malice, and it should not be taken into account. Gongsun Ying raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Gongsun Jia and said, "Prince Master, please rest assured!" This time, we are proceeding with the checks and balances agreed upon last time. I will only make the final decision on behalf of the lord. But the presiding judge is still the master of the Zongzheng Mansion. Lord Si Kou, the deputy commander of the Criminal Law Office, and Feng Chang of the Qin Mansion are the deputy judges, and Liyang Ling is the judge of the case. The result of their examination and approval shall be the final ruling after being examined and approved by the Acting Officer. I wonder what else the three of you have to say? ”
Gongsun Jia was afraid that Gongzi Qian and the prince would say something bad, and if he offended the other presiding judges, Gongsun Ying would push 369 and kill himself with a knife. So he rushed to salute and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! The three of us had no opinion, and accepted it sincerely and happily. Adults are invited to follow the law! ”
When the sect decree arrived strangely, he looked at Gongzi Qian and asked, "Crown prince!" What do you have to say? ”
Gongzi Qian looked at the Zongzheng decree and then at Gongsun Jia, but the eyes of the two were opposite. Gongsun Jia gestured with his eyes and asked him to follow Gongsun Jia's words. Zong's eyes seemed to remind him not to follow Gongsun Jia's words. This made Gongzi pious and hesitated for a while before he decided to believe Gongsun Jia, so he returned with his hand: "Lord Zongzheng Order!" The prince of the guilty minister sincerely agrees with what the prince said, please act according to the law! "But Gongzi Qian bit this two words according to the law very hard.
Zong Zhengling snorted somehow, and then stopped talking. Duke Qin's Mansion looked at the prince calmly and asked, "Prince!" You are the direct party. You should give your opinion, you can't do everything for others. ”
