Chapter 34: The Emperor Arrives
"The emperor has arrived!" Gao Gonggong's characteristic loud voice sounded. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
At this time, no one dared to raise their heads, but they all stood up, knelt down again, and bowed. The same is true of Chun Tu and Yaksha, but the two took advantage of this opportunity to quickly look at each other and quickly stagger away. Just one glance, but they all seem to be comforted.
Jin Yi was actually following behind Yaksha, but Chun Tu didn't notice. Farther away, Han Wuxing's heart was cold.
As long as Asuri is there, he can't see others in his eyes, and he can't hold others in his heart. He, what is going to do? How can we forget, how can we be calm, how can we ...... Live quietly?
"Flat." Han Mou's voice sounded from above. In addition to mildness, there is no sense of ** color, but it seems to be in the clouds. But is he really not a fireworks? I'm afraid it may not be.
When everyone got up, Chun Tu saw the plaintiff's location and was shocked to find Du Dongchen standing there. When the names of the two parties who had been involved in the official business were reported and the cause of the case was briefly stated, she learned that Du Dongchen had entered the Yushitai since the Red Embroidered Shoes case. Although she is only a small scribe, since she is in the establishment, she can naturally be appointed by the Imperial Doctor, that is, his father, to fight her in court.
The Du family still has to step on her on the top. If the Du family wins this class, Du Dongchen will become famous, and he will lay the foundation for going straight to the top of the clouds, and he will also get the pleasure of personally defeating the Bai family. But the problem of the Du family is that they are too confident, they may have incredible evidence in their hands, but things in the world are often changing rapidly, and she, self-confidence, can turn things around.
According to the litigation procedure, the plaintiff, that is, the prosecution, first presents the facts and proposes the result of the judgment. Du Dongchen talked eloquently, behaved and spoke chicly, to the effect that: one. The Turks and the Tang Dynasty were not friendly neighbors. Then, the Nakshatra is not an envoy and should not be protected, but should be treated as an enemy. So when he came to Chang'an, he became a secret infiltrator, that is, to spy on the military and political situation of Datang, and he had ill intentions towards Datang. Second, the Turks ravaged the Central Plains a hundred years ago, and they are still frequently invading the borders. This is to guide the psychological tendencies of the people who are watching and interrogating. Ignite their hatred. Third, when the Yaksha was in Chang'an for a long time, he had a false and forged identity, which could be almost confused, proving that he had deeper intentions. I'm afraid it's not good for Datang. Therefore, not killing is not enough to ensure security, let alone to form a deterrent to the Turks. Fourth, even the legend in the Altai Mountains that the son of the wolf god has died, it is also interpreted as a major conspiracy in the Western Turkic royal court to fake death to do real things. After all, it is cheaper for "dead people" to act.
All in all, Du Dongchen's lawsuit request is: sentence Yaksha to death in order to show the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
How can the execution of a Turkic member of the royal family be related to the prestige of the Tang Dynasty? Is it to scare the other party? It still means that Datang is not threatened and coerced. Not afraid of a war caused by this? Let's not talk about whether Bagotur will be like this, only by conquering the Turks and returning a large area of the Altai Mountains to the territory of the Tang Dynasty is the national prestige! National events. Focusing on interests, he slaughtered the Yakshas. In order to arouse the anger of the Turkic people, so that they can resist the rule of the Tang Dynasty to the death? In order to make it easier for Bagotur to gather the strength of the people of the Western Regions, so as to pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty? If you really do this, the advocate is the traitor of Datang, a spy!
These words are all based on political considerations, will the Du family not know? However, this is in the public court, so they can only speak in terms of the law. This is also the reason why the courtiers led by the Du family agreed so happily to settle this matter with the law, right? Rather, there will be less scruples, because the law is a dead clause, one is one, and two is two.
They didn't care how embarrassing and tricky the emperor was after doing so. They have been high-ranking officials for too long, and the scholars who share power have been in charge for too long, and in their hearts, there is only self-interest, no country and nation! This is the decay of the aristocracy, where the former dignity and sacrifice are worn out by future generations over time, and only greed remains. That's why the emperor made up his mind to suppress and weaken their power. And they, still stupid, are not enlightened.
And when Han Mou, who was the chief judge, listened to the plaintiff's statement and asked whether Yaksha was guilty or not, Yaksha did not say a word. Only Chun Tu took half a step forward, bowed and said, "Sneaking into Datang for no reason, violating the laws of Datang, I confess my guilt." "This is a fact, as the first on the wanted list of the imperial court, as long as he stands on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he has already violated the Tang law.
However, the word "for no reason" is very knowledgeable, which paves the way for the following.
Hearing that she, who was famous for her debate, so honestly confessed to her client's crime, the hall immediately became in an uproar. Du Dongchen looked at Chun Tu even more vigilantly, always feeling that it was dangerous to be so smooth.
On the public seat, Han Mou did not move like a mountain, nor did he shoot the shocking wood. He is the emperor, the most noble person in the world, how undignified it is to smash wood in a hurry. But he knew that Chun Tu had a fallout, so after a moment of noise below, he only coughed lightly. There was silence. Look, it's good to be the emperor, every word and deed has such a great deterrent effect.
"But ......" As expected, Chun Tuyi's words began to turn, "We can't admit that our party is plotting against Datang or something." Speak with evidence, not subjectively speculating, especially in the solemn court, before the divine law. Then he said and turned to the people in the hall, "The law is inviolable and deceitful, no matter what the cause or reason. What the scrivener of the Imperial Observatory just said was all speculation and could not be believed. ”
"Then, with the crime you admitted, even if Asuri did not endanger my Datang and his people, according to Tang law, he must be sent back to the Turks after being punished with a rod." Du Dongchen followed closely.
It can be seen that after the last fiasco to Chun Tu, he has put a lot of effort into it. And repatriation is supported by the majority of the court. Chun Tu didn't know what the Du family's real purpose was to put Yaksha to death, but if it turned out to be so, it would be equivalent to her doing nothing, which would be equivalent to letting Yaksha go back to die.
Du Dongchen, this guy, may be a genius who is a teacher, but unfortunately he is her opponent, so she can't be polite, she must meet and shoot once, until he can never turn over.
"What's more......" Du Dongchen also had a big turn, "I have evidence to prove that Asuri did something harmful to Datang." ”
It's coming, it's coming! Chun Tuyu's expression flashed, but his expression was immovable, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
Du Dongchen raised his eyebrows.
Chunliu defended Azuri, according to the third sister. It's because they've known each other for a long time. Moreover, since she could convince Bai Jingyuan to get the treacherous and cunning Bai Xiang to agree to let her be a mentor for Azuri, it was impossible not to know the illegal things that Azuri had done. Even, the emperor promised to settle the matter by law rather than politics, and the Bai family used a lot of secret power.
But why, isn't she flustered? Is it stiff?
"There's a secret killer organization called Wolf Eyes." Du Dongchen said, "The leader of this organization." It was none other than the legendary son of the wolf god, Asuri. As he spoke, he suddenly pointed at the Yaksha, "They, for the sake of money, brutalized the people of the Tang Dynasty." Assassinate the officials of the Tang Dynasty. They are committed to killing people, destroying humanity and losing their humanity. No matter what the purpose behind them is, whether they want to shake the national foundation of Datang, encroach on the stability of Datang from within, and only kill people. It is the felony of the law of the Tang Dynasty! ”
At this point, he paused again, took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, and saluted Han Moushen on the public seat. These are the evidences collected by the Imperial Historical Observatory, including the testimony of his subordinates who surrendered to the imperial court during the arrest of Asuri this time. There are also the original murderers. The fact that he was imprisoned because his case was exposed, and voluntarily confessed in order to seek a commutation of his sentence. It's all about wolf eyes. The human and material evidence are all there, and please ask the emperor to make a clear decision! ”
"Good, Goshidai did a good job." Han Mou picked up the list of evidence presented by Gonggong Gao, flipped through it casually, and said lightly, and then asked Chun Tuyu, "You don't admit to Asuri's crime of endangering the Tang Dynasty, what about the Wolf Eye Organization?" Do you want to verify the authenticity of the owner of the witness in court? Do you want to do a counter-push? ”
After the emperor asked, just when everyone was looking forward to it, who thought that Chun Tu gave an answer that was absolutely beyond the expectations of others.
"I confess this sin." Chun Tu said calmly, "There is no need to waste manpower, material resources and the time of the emperor and you to make arguments again. However, the attitude of this side in admitting guilt is so good, and I also ask the emperor to give a light sentence as appropriate. ”
Buzz, this time the noise could not be restrained, the sound was much louder than before, and it seemed to lift the roof of the hall of the criminal department.
The people in the audience, only the chief judge and his personal eunuch, the party and its master, Bai Xiang and his virtuous prince, at most added another party, that is, the two girls of Jinyi and his spring master who had no sense of existence, and there was no one who was not excited.
What a road this is! Datang has such a population, Chang'an alone is more than a million, I have never seen such a master, I will admit everything!
They didn't know what a guilty defense was, they didn't know what a tainted witness was, so they were amazed. But Chun Tuyu's confident and determined expression made Du Dongchen's heart tremble, and even more made Du Hanyu below nervous.
"Spring Master......" As soon as Han Mou spoke, the drumming still stopped immediately, "I have heard you say that the master is to serve the parties, or the principals. You confess all your crimes, how can you protect the interests of Asuri? I am a big country in the Tang Dynasty and a state of etiquette, even if he is a heinous person, he will be given a chance to defend himself. If you do this today, if foreign friends ask about it in the future, won't you lose the grandeur of my Datang? ”
"Your Majesty, facts are facts, even if I am a master, I can't quibble." Chun Tu said and glanced deeply at Yaksha.
Others don't understand this gaze, but Yaksha seems to feel something, and he also looks up. In front of so many people, there is no affectionate communication and ambiguous warmth, but it is full of trust in each other.
"But the saint has clouds, knows that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. What's more, my Datang law is already strict and lenient, giving people opportunities, and the meaning of education is more than punishment. Therefore, although Surrey was guilty, Tang Law allowed him to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. ”
"Oh?" Han Mou asked with a smile.
This was the first expression he had since he came to the hall, and everyone in the hall was quiet in their hearts and listened to what Chun Tu said.
"Minnu, apply for eight reductions for the defendant Asuri." Chun Tu said loudly.
