Chapter 891: When things go wrong, there must be demons

"Smack! ——”

Bai Lidu was shocked and continued to try the case.

"Come on, show the emperor a seat!"

No matter how mediocre this Zhao Gou is, after all, he is still the emperor today, and he still has to give face to give, so Bai Lidu asked people to take a seat for him.

After the two officials hurriedly moved a chair, Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou didn't say anything more, and sat down obediently.

"Transcript officer, please present all the previous court trial records to the emperor for his view."

"Yes!"

The transcript officer, who had been sitting on the side of the court, also stood up immediately, held a stack of papers and sent them to Zhao Gou, who still took the stack of papers without saying a word, and immediately flipped through them.

"Wan Qiao! Yue Fei's accusation of Chengyu and Ling Yi listed these two crimes, who reported them to Dali Temple? And who testifies? ”

"Lord Hui, the accusation that Chengyu and Ling Yi were both reported by Wang Jun, and the witnesses are both Zhang Xian and Dong Xian!"

Zhang Xian, who was also in the hall, immediately said loudly: "Tell your lord, I have not testified to this, let alone drawn a detention, if there is a so-called confession, it is false!" ”

"Oh? Can Dong Xian testify? ”

"Back to my lord, I don't know if Dong Xian has testified......

"Come on, bring Dong Xian, the witness in this case, to the hall!"

"Yes!" The two officials also immediately ran out of the hall.

After a while, [Dong Xian] was taken to the court by these two people.

I saw that Dong Xian's face was dark, and he also had a red beard with a chin, and he looked very strong.

"Chen Dong has seen the emperor first!" As soon as Dong Xian entered the court and saw the emperor, he immediately gave a salute.

In contrast, the etiquette of the Song Dynasty is more reasonable than that of the Qing Dynasty, like the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty when he sees the emperor and kneel and kowtow at every turn, Bai Lidu naturally hates it.

"Dong Xian, let me ask you, have you ever testified that Yue Fei accused Chengyu of being in the same column as Ling Yi?"

Dong Xian replied: "Back to this lord, I did go to Dali Temple to testify, but it was only to testify against Ling Yi and the same column, as for the accusation of Yue Xianggong against the crime of taking public opinion, I did not testify. ”

"Wan Qiao! Is there such a thing? ”

"Lord Hui, Dong Xian did only testify against Ling Yi's fellow columns, and did not testify against Chengyu......"

"Then why are there two confessions of Dong Xian in this file?"

"Lord Hui, the other one is a ...... that I asked Yuan Guinian to imitate Dong Xian's painting."

"So, these two confessions of Zhang Xian were also forged by you?"

"Yes...... Yes, my lord......"

Bai Lidu asked Dong Xian again: "Dong Xian, how did Yue Fei Ling Yi rank in the same column that day, please tell me carefully!" ”

"Yes, my lord, when we arrived in Luzhou that day, we received the news of the fall of Haozhou without much rest, so we rushed all the way to Haozhou, but when we arrived in Dingyuan County, we received a report from the spies in front, saying that the Yang army was ambushed in Haozhou, although Zhang Jun sent troops to rescue, but also suffered heavy casualties, and although the Han army arrived the next day, but also defeated, and the Jin people have also fled north, Yue Xianggong was sad and angry for a while, so he said to Zhang Xian: "Like the Zhang family, Zhang Taiweier will trample on 10,000 people!" , and then said to me: "Like the Han family, Taiwei Dong will not need 10,000 people to trample on it!" ”

"If I understand correctly, this trampling should mean rubbing and trampling, if Yue Fei really said this, then it is just that the two armies of Zhang and Han are useless, can't this kind of thing be said?"

Dong Xian continued: "Lord Hui, I think this is not wrong! ”

"Oh? Since you are not wrong, then why did you go to Dali Temple to testify that Yue Fei said this? ”

"Back to my lord, the reason why I will go to Dali Temple to testify, in fact, is also forced by the situation, just because the day before Qin Hui had summoned me and Wang Jun to his house, saying that my family Yue Xianggong entrenched in Ezhou, deliberately rebelled, this time I summoned the two of us to collect some more evidence against Yue Xianggong, in order to play the saint, Wang Jun took the lead in accusing Yue Xianggong of having compared himself to Taizu and also insulted the emperor in the battle of Huaixi, when he came to me, if he did not speak, he was worried that he would be suppressed and retaliated by Qin Hui, and second, he was more worried that he would be hated by Wang Jun. So I picked out two sentences that didn't hurt or itch, which can be regarded as self-preservation! In the following opinion, this statement is not wrong, and even if it is investigated, it should not be a big mistake! I also ask that Prime Minister Yue can forgive me ......"

Dong Xian said that at the end, he also bowed to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei got up and said: "Brother Dong doesn't have to mind this matter at all, I, Yue Fei, have always acted frankly, since I really said this, I am not afraid to admit it, so I will not resent Brother Dong......"

"Zhang Xian, since Yue Fei himself has admitted it, let me ask you again, have you heard this at that time?"

"My lord, I admit that I did hear this, but as Dong Xian said, Yue Xianggong was not wrong in what he said, the soldiers and horses of the Zhang and Han families were indeed very useless, if they were able to resist even one more day in Haozhou at that time, Yue Xianggong and I would not run in vain, let alone let the Jin people escape to the north calmly, so please also ask your Excellency to know this!"

"Ahem!" Bai Lidu cleared his throat for a moment before continuing: "Zhang Xian is right, on March 12, Yue Fei's army has arrived in Dingyuan County, if Zhang Yang's army can move forward cautiously, and then count Han Shizhong's naval army that rushed to the rear of the enemy's army, then it can form an encirclement of the Jin army, so Zhang Yang's army only needs to fight with the Jin army for a day or two later, or Zhang Han's army can resist for a day or two more after the battle, and the army led by Yue Fei can also be put into the battlefield in time, then the final result of the battle of Haozhou may be rewritten......"

All the ministers in the hall, including the officials on both sides, also nodded.

Therefore, when Yue Fei was sad and angry, it was completely reasonable to say that the soldiers and horses of the Zhang and Han families were useless, as Dong Xian said, this is not wrong, and it is not a big mistake! Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong are both military generals, and they are not scheming people, I believe that even if these two people hear Yue Fei give this kind of evaluation to themselves face-to-face, they should not have any opinions, Zhang Jun! Am I right? ”

Zhang Jun also immediately replied: "My lord is right, I have no opinion on this evaluation......

"Okay, since that's the case, this official hereby pronounces the verdict, Yue Fei's fourth charge, the so-called 'Ling Yi Tonglie', is not established, and the ministers, including the emperor, can they have different opinions?"

Above the "......" court, there was a sudden silence.

In this situation, it is estimated that it should be because of Zhao Gou's presence, so the ministers who were originally active in expressing their stance naturally did not dare to speak casually.

Bai Lidu also immediately looked at Zhao Gou.

At this time, Zhao Gou had also read the previous court trial transcripts, and after putting the stack of papers on a small table beside him, he stood up......

"I have read the previous transcripts, and I have also listened to the trial process just now, since the Yue Qing family's crime of plotting rebellion and resisting the will to stay is not established, then this charge of Ling Yi's same crime, in my opinion, should also be untenable......

With Zhao Gou's statement, everyone in the hall immediately began to echo him, and soon, the verdict of not being convicted of the fourth charge was unanimously passed, and the progress of the task of the copy task [trial] had reached 75%......

"Perverse! It's so unusual! Shouldn't this Zhao Gou also be someone who wants to kill Yue Fei and then be fast? How can it be so easy to compromise here? ”

As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Bai Lidu knows very well that this Zhao Gou will run to the court by himself, and it will definitely not be for no reason, most likely because the system does not want to complete his task too easily, and adds obstacles to himself, so the last crime left by Yue Fei, which is the so-called accusation of taking public opinion, will naturally not be too easy, and it is even likely that there will be a pit waiting for him......

Bai Lidu instantly recalled the scene when Yue Fei stood up and admitted just now, if when he tried it himself, this Yue Fei also jumped out and generously admitted that he had indeed scolded Zhao Gou for lacking morality, then how should he deal with it? It is estimated that this ring should also be the so-called pit.

When he fell into deep thought, Bai Lidu couldn't help but feel a little headache......
