In a few moments, that is, a little more than a little later, an unusual pilgrimage meeting was about to begin.

Hundreds of civil and military ministers are according to the usual position, the royal street as a main hall, neat and orderly line up the shifts, except for the different locations, and the previous court meeting does not seem to be much different, yes, there are many more onlookers.

At this time, there were nearly 10,000 people gathered around, in fact, because of the location, most of them could not see the scene of the court meeting, but this did not affect their sense of participation in the big event, and they all danced with their eyebrows, and they almost forgot why they came here today.

Suddenly, a tall, but upright figure appeared in the passage left in the middle of the royal street.

"Huh...... Isn't this Xie Xiang? How did he get here? ”

"Oops, I almost forgot that Xie Xianggong was still in Lin'an, but didn't he resign?"

"The official family hasn't gotten permission yet, he is still the left prime minister of our Great Song Dynasty, and when he comes to the court at this juncture, I'm afraid he will make trouble."

"Oh Huo, I heard that Xie Xiang has always opposed King Zhong, isn't that ......?"

"That's great, except for the evil Jiao, my daughter-in-law will be able to wake up!"

The discussion of the people faintly reached Uncle Xie Fang's ears, but he was completely indifferent, still expressionless, and walked into the court meeting area with a slow and fast step.

Seeing his arrival, most of the officials were surprised, and their hearts seemed to be boiling, and they quickly guessed his intentions, but they greeted each other with smiles on their faces.

Uncle Xie Fang bowed to his colleagues, walked to the train, and consciously stood under Dong Huai, and saluted gently, "Brother Tingzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've always been fine?" ”

Seeing the former prime minister, Dong Huai felt a little nervous in his heart, and there were many doubts, "Germany, you ...... Forget it, it's time to ascend to the dynasty. ”

At this time, the official in charge of the ceremony said loudly, "Ascension!" Holy Drive, please! ”

All the ministers shouted in greeting, looking to the throne.

The high throne is set in front of the city gate, because it is simple, but it does not lose the royal majesty.

In the shouts of the mountain to welcome the holy driver, Zhao Yun ascended the throne under the embrace, the whip sounded nine times, and the ministers knelt down and bowed three times, naturally, Zhao Mengqi was inevitable.

After an indispensable ceremony, Zhao Yun raised his hand to signal, and then Dong Huai walked to the bottom of the throne and said aloud to the ministers.

"This sudden convening of the court meeting, presumably everyone knows what the reason is, so I will not repeat it, Your Majesty is benevolent, and decided to make an exception to take over this case in response to the call of all the people, and to be tried by the court, to clarify the truth of the case, to follow the heavens, and to uphold the hearts of the people! It is rumored that the bitter master of this case, Cai Li and his party, and in addition, the Shaoqing Yuan of Dali Temple is listed with the bitter lord and sued for it! ”

Subsequently, Yuan led the four mothers and daughters of Cai Li's family, and under the attention of the ministers, they walked towards the palace.

Cai Li was still holding the swaddling clothes, and the two female babies were shrouded in a crane, only exposing their two small heads, following their mothers closely, and they didn't dare to look away.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun wondered, "This is?" ”

The person standing on the side with the imperial equipment was Xue Jin, the head of the front division of the palace, who explained the matter.

Zhao Yun suddenly said, "No wonder I think this crane is familiar, King Zhong has done a good job, let people place the doll first,"

Immediately, he glanced at Zhao Mengqi in the first column of the right shift with satisfaction.

Originally, Zhao Mengqi's position was on the side of the throne, but if he stood on it today, it would be inappropriate, so he had to stand in a position on the side of Xun Qi Wuchen.

When the others approached, several chamberlains and palace maids stepped forward, communicated with Cai Li for a few words, and then took the swaddling clothes and took away the two female babies.

Yuan Ze and Cai Li knelt down and saluted.

After the ceremony, Zhao Yun spoke, "No matter what grievances you have, I will give you a fair result today, speaking of which, the person you sued is my son, and it is inevitable to let my father judge his son, but in the entire Great Song Dynasty, only I can judge him, I don't know if you can accept it?" ”

"The official Shengming, in the eyes of the people's women, you are not only loyal to the king's father, but also the father of the world, so naturally there is no favoritism."

Cai Li looked nervous, but his answer was still clear.

"He's a good talker, but he's a clever man." Zhao Yun smiled and continued, "I have already read your complaint, there are not too many twists and turns in the case, there are some unknowns, if I want to ask you, you must answer truthfully." ”

"If you ask, the official family, the women must know everything and say everything." Cai Li owes himself.

Zhao Yun became a little serious, "Cai Li's family, the complaint said that on the sixth day of the second month, when King Zhong's car entered Shaoxing City, he stopped at the gate of the city for no reason and blocked traffic, so Cai An, who was in charge of the city guard, stepped forward to communicate, but angered King Zhong, so he was killed for no reason. Can you guarantee that this sentence is true? ”

"The ...... of the people's women" Cai Li hesitated, "The women were not present at the time, and the situation known was all relayed by others, and there may be some discrepancies in the details, perhaps... Maybe the clumsy husband also has something inappropriate, but it stands to reason that even if the clumsy husband commits a capital crime, there should be a priest to ask, and the trial and conviction can only be discussed and beheaded, not to mention, according to the rules of the court, even if the death penalty is set, there are still three repetitions, how can you kill people so hastily, so the people are not convinced! ”

Cai Li's three-fold recital is a death penalty review system that began in the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty also followed the establishment, simply put, it is the death penalty after many reviews by various judicial yamen, and the death penalty must be repeated three times to the emperor before the execution.

Therefore, in the feudal era, if you want to legally kill a person, it is still very difficult, one is because of the Confucian idea of 'prudent punishment', and the other is that 'the right to life and death comes from above'.

Listening to Cai Li's words, Zhao Yun nodded slightly, "You know the criminal law very well, and you are right, from this point of view, King Zhong did not abide by the rules of the court, King Zhong, do you have an explanation for this?" ”

Zhao Mengqi seemed to be napping, and only when he heard this did he open his eyes and walked out.

"If you just accuse your son of being careless in using torture and not complying with the rules of the court, then your son will admit it and ask your father to punish him according to the law."

He said this very carelessly, but it caused an uproar among the courtiers.

"King Zhong will admit it?"

"No, King Zhong is avoiding the important and trivial, he did not admit to murder!"

"Hey, but it seems that Cai Li has also changed his caliber, and the focus is on the violation of the punishment of King Zhong."

"Then the loyal king is not a crime, but only a mistake, and a little punishment is enough."

"What's going on? After making trouble for a long time, stirring up the whole Lin'an, just to investigate a mistake? ”

The officials talked a lot, and Dong Huai and Cheng Yuanfeng, important ministers, couldn't help frowning, feeling that things were too strange.
