Chapter 173: Taking the opportunity to pull out the minions
Li Changfeng didn't expect to rely on such sophistry alone to easily expose this matter, and he had to have more convincing arguments.
On weekdays, he naturally wouldn't provoke powerful ministers such as Shangshu of the Criminal Department, but Song Dexin stood up for the Zhao family, so he wouldn't be polite.
Li Changfeng pointed at Song Dexin's nose and scolded: "Do you know the principle that the law of Daqian attaches importance to evidence, investigation and research, does not believe confessions, and only the victim's statement cannot convict the criminal suspect?" ”
"The Zhao family said that I sent someone to set fire to the murder, and you believed it? As the secretary of the Criminal Department, you are in charge of the law of the great cadres but do not understand the law, how do you have the face to hold this position? Is it worthy of the emperor's trust in you? Are you worthy of the people of the world? ”
Faced with Li Changfeng's series of questions, Song Dexin's face was pale, her body shook for a while, her mouth opened and opened, but she couldn't say a word to refute it.
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qian, Emperor Qianwu did set the principles mentioned by Li Changfeng and wrote them into the law in order to prevent the powerful from manipulating criminal cases and avoiding the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongful cases.
Emperor Qianwu's starting point is good, but it is the officials at all levels headed by the Criminal Department who specifically implement these laws, who will take this article into account?
With the flexibility of the law, they have the final say, so that they can control the wealth and life and death of others, and only then can they have absolute authority to exercise authority.
Therefore, this principle has been selectively ignored, and over time everyone has even forgotten that there is such a one.
He didn't expect Li Changfeng to talk about this article, and he was speechless.
The other courtiers who impeached Li Changfeng were also silent, and they all lowered their heads for fear that Li Changfeng would point at their nose and scold.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng smiled coldly, pointed at Song Dexin's nose and continued to scold loudly: "Or do you not understand the law at all, but you don't take your father and the law of Daqian in your eyes?!" ”
"Don't dare, the old minister doesn't dare!" Song Dexin's face turned pale with fright, and he shook his head again and again to deny it, he didn't dare to bear such a big hat.
"What are you not afraid of? I actually want this prince to apologize to the Zhao family, are you secretly taking refuge in the Eight Great Families?! Do you think that the royal family is inferior to the Eight Great Families?! Li Changfeng continued to scold loudly.
"No, absolutely not!"
Song Dexin was covered in cold sweat, her clothes were already wet, and she felt that her heartbeat was half a beat slower.
Although the Eight Great Families make the royal family unwilling to provoke easily, and even the Eight Great Families don't look down on the royal family, but on the surface, they are still the first in the royal family, how dare he admit it?
This hat is too big to kill.
"Do you know it in your heart!"
Li Changfeng sneered, turned his head to look at Li Ji who was dodging his eyes, and raised his hand to point at his nose and scolded.
"You unproductive soft bones, why did our Daqian royal family come up with such an eggless thing as you? Let the royal family apologize to the Zhao family, how do you have the face to agree to such words? Just a waste like you who doesn't even understand the laws of the Great Qian, and you are also worthy of the government? With a waste royal brother like you, this prince feels ashamed! ”
Although Li Changfeng's words were ugly, they were reasonable, and Li Ji had no way to refute them, so he could only keep his head down and keep silent, clenching his fists and trembling angrily.
And Emperor Qianwu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a glint in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to stand up and call a few hellos.
Joyfully!
It's so exciting!
Li Changfeng's remarks today are precisely the anger that he has not held back in his heart, and every word speaks to his heart.
Feng Qujian was paying attention to Li Changfeng the whole time, and when he saw Li Changfeng being impassioned, he couldn't help but nod his head secretly.
Li Changfeng's performance in the court far exceeded his expectations.
He didn't expect that Li Changfeng, who seemed to be obsessed with strange and skillful skills and silver money, would be so familiar with the laws of Daqian.
"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is not reckless, he has been prepared for a long time!" Feng Qujian sighed secretly.
Of course, Li Changfeng was prepared.
In the previous life of the Earth Dragon Kingdom, there were so many laws and regulations that it was impossible for even a professional lawyer to grasp them all.
That's why we have professional lawyers who specialize in civil law, criminal law, economic crime law, etc., with a focus.
In his previous life, Li Changfeng had only read a little bit of the civil law that was closely related to his daily life.
However, this world is different, affected by backward productive forces, the legal system is not perfect, and a "Great Cadre Law" covers everything, and its content is not much.
Li Changfeng had read it several times and memorized some core points in case he needed it, but he never thought of using it today.
After Li Chengye saw Li Changfeng's performance, he was surprised and secretly said that he was lucky.
Fortunately, he didn't fall into the same hole as Li Ji, otherwise it would not only be Li Ji who was scolded by pointing his nose.
Moreover, it is indeed too embarrassing for the royal family to apologize to the family, whether it is reasonable or not, it will make Emperor Qianwu displeased.
Although Emperor Qianwu was excited in his heart, he did not show the slightest expression on the surface, and looked at Song Dexin and said indifferently: "Song Aiqing, what do you think the Nine Emperors said?" ”
Song Dexin's face was full of shame, and he arched his hand and said: "What His Royal Highness said is justified and reasonable, the testimony of the Zhao family cannot be trusted, but the old minister is biased as the secretary of the criminal department, he is really ashamed of his trust in His Majesty, please allow the old minister to return to his hometown!" ”
Emperor Qianwu was noncommittal, and looked at the people who had just echoed Song Dexin's remarks, and said in an indifferent tone: "What do you say now?" ”
The ministers bowed their heads again and again, and they all expressed their great shame, and praised Li Changfeng for being familiar with the Great Cadre Law, far surpassing them.
Emperor Qianwu smiled coldly and said: "You are an official in the court, and you are not even familiar with the Great Qianlu, how can you govern the world for me?" ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Qianwu paused, raised his voice a lot, and said coldly: "Your and other vegetarian corpses are really hateful, and today I will remove you from your official position, and you will never be hired!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all of these officials turned pale, and some even sat on the ground, their eyes full of remorse, and even more of them repeatedly kowtowed and begged Emperor Qianwu for mercy.
Emperor Qianwu had long wanted to get rid of the Eight Great Families.
At the same time, he didn't dare to make a move against the eight great families, but he still dared to make a move against a single Zhao family, just taking this opportunity to suppress and get rid of some of their minions.
He waved his hand in some disgust and said, "Come on, take off their official uniforms, and beat the Xuanzheng Hall with a stick!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a group of wolf-like Ouchi guards rushed in, beat these people out with sticks, and called them ruthless.
Song Dexin's face was like ashes, he knew that his career was completely over, and the facts were just as he expected, Emperor Qianwu looked at him and said coldly: "Aren't you going to resign and return to your hometown?" I'm right! ”
How important is the Criminal Department, one of the six departments, and now there is a sufficient reason, so it is natural to take out Song Dexin and replace it with someone he trusts, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a warning to the Zhao family.
In an early dynasty, more than a dozen court officials were dismissed at once, and Li Changfeng turned the tables against the trend, which no one expected.
Emperor Qianwu lost the interest in continuing the early dynasty, waved his hand and said: "Li Changfeng and Li Ji stay, and the others retreat." ”
Li Ji was terrified, Li Changfeng sneered again and again, and the ministers left the Xuanzheng Hall with different thoughts.
Emperor Qianwu slowly got up, stepped down from the imperial platform, took out the belt of seven wolves, and came to Li Ji, the disappointment and anger in his eyes could not be concealed.
It's just that the princes fight with each other on weekdays, and this kind of major right and wrong is really difficult for Emperor Qianwu to accept, regardless of the royal face.
"Father's forgiveness!"
Li Ji understood Emperor Qianwu's thoughts, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
Are you going to be pumped again?
He almost lost count of how many times it was.
Emperor Qianwu was so disappointed in Li Ji that he didn't even bother to say anything, the muscles on his face tightened, and he raised his belt and slashed his head and face.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ……
The sound of the belt pumping on his body echoed in the Xuanzheng Hall.
Li Ji could hold back at first, and after a few strokes, he screamed miserably, like killing a pig.
Li Changfeng was excited, and kept encouraging him on the side.
"Pump!"
"Pump hard!"
"It's best to smoke this kind of waste!"
"The faces of our royal family are about to be lost by this waste!"
……
It wasn't until Li Ji was lying on the ground that he didn't even have the strength to move, that Emperor Qianwu stopped and said to Gao Dali: "Send this bastard to the Tai Hospital, don't let him die." ”
Although he was disappointed and angry, after all, he was his own flesh and blood, and he was not so bad that he didn't care about it.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Dali glanced at Li Ji expressionlessly, beckoned to the corner, and several eunuchs walked out and carried Li Ji away.
"Changfeng, follow me to the apse." Emperor Qianwu said tiredly.
At this time, he no longer has the imperial momentum to rule the world, only a father's disappointment and helplessness in his son, and even a little dull.
Li Changfeng glanced at it and didn't say anything.
I can't persuade this kind of thing.
Coming to the apse, Emperor Qianwu's mood had already adjusted, and he regained his imperial prestige again, staring at Li Changfeng and asking with blazing eyes: "Changfeng, you did it on purpose, right?" ”
Li Changfeng did not shy away from saying: "Of course." ”
"So, do you know that the person who assassinated you was sent by the Zhao family?"
"That's for sure, otherwise what would Erchen do to provoke the Zhao family?"
Emperor Qianwu's eyes flashed and said, "How do you know?" ”
Li Changfeng had long expected that Emperor Qianwu would ask about this, and said unhurriedly: "The palace master of Luohua Palace Feng Shiye claimed to be a great master of the first grade, and he was very arrogant, saying that he wanted to let Erchen die and understand it, and told Erchen that he had received the reward from the Zhao family. ”
Emperor Qianwu did not doubt him, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you know how terrifying the power of the Eight Great Families is?" ”
"I probably know something."
"You only know one and don't know the other, so I will tell you about the eight great families in detail today, so that you can have the bottom of your heart." Emperor Qianwu said earnestly.
Then he introduced in detail the horror of the Eight Great Families, which was far more terrifying than Li Changfeng had learned.
However, Li Changfeng was very calm, only slightly surprised.
Emperor Qianwu was surprised: "You're not afraid? ”
Li Changfeng glanced at Emperor Qianwu and said, "The entire Great Qian belongs to my Li family's royal family, are you afraid that he will be a bird?" This prince is not affected by that bird's anger, and if it is a big deal, he will start a war, and looking ahead and backward will only make them worse, and if they don't break the world, they will be rebuilt! ”
