Chapter 287: Opening the court
"Speaking of which, I still have some friendship with this Dingguo Gong. Wu Ke also said with some emotion.
"The kid also heard about it in the court, and that imperial history also made the adults a little unable to get off the stage. Fang Xiao also said with a chuckle.
And Wu Ke said with a smile: "In this way, I can be regarded as earning, after all, this is also a favor, I don't owe it, and he also eats this bowl of rice, if the imperial history is not involved, then what kind of imperial history is it." ”
"The adults are arrogant, but I am upset for the adults in vain. Fang Xiao also said with a smile.
"You don't come, with your brain, can you see that this is a play?" Wu Ke also said with a sneer, "And let you be this supervisor, it seems that the emperor is indeed a little annoyed with these nobles." ”
"I think that almost everyone in the court should have seen this, and even the nobles are watching to see what kind of punishment this Dingguo Duke can get in the end. Fang Xiao also sat on the Taishi chair and said seriously.
"Wait and see? They have this brain? It's better to say that they are gambling, betting that our emperor will not be ruthless to them, so they just stand by and watch the Duke of Dingguo. Wu Ke also sneered and said, "I really think that there is some difference between the military power in my hands and those in Nanjing, but I am just some people who rely on the shadow of their ancestors." Fang Xiao actually has a different opinion on this sentence, after all, he is good friends with Xu Xiang, and he also knows Xu Xingchen's ability. Of course, if he knew that his friend Xu Xiang had been hiding all along, his state would definitely be more subtle. But this Wu Ke didn't mean to pay attention to Fang Xiao, and continued to smile and said: "Okay, I'm just a criminal officer now, what do I care about so much." ”
And Fang Xiao opened his mouth and said, "My lord, don't say that. Haven't I come to ask you for advice?"
"Tell me, I'm sick. Wu Ke also quipped.
"Lord Fu Yin, the kid wants to know how my Shuntian Mansion handles itself. Fang Xiao also stood up seriously and said.
And Wu Ke also frowned when he heard this, he also knew that Fang Xiao took care of this case and did something, it was definitely not just his own business, at least it would be considered the attitude of Shuntianfu. And Wu Ke will definitely return to Shuntian Mansion, so this troublesome matter, he Wu Ke really can't just get rid of it.
He pondered for a while and then said: "If it is for Shuntianfu, I will say one word, that is, say less and do less, and wait and see what happens." Fang Xiao also understood the meaning of Wu Ke's words, after all, this was the emperor's meaning, even though he was a supervisor in Shuntianfu, but the emperor put Fang Xiao in this position to let him polish the anger of these nobles. But understanding is not the same as agreeing, and sure enough, Fang Xiao also shook his head with a smile and said, "My Lord Yin, do you think I will do this?"
"Yes, the emperor and I both think too highly of you and too low. Wu Ke also smiled indifferently, "First, you are a person who understands human accidents, but you have some intentions that officialdom should not have." ”
"My lord, are you praising me?" Fang Xiao also said with a smile.
This is a compliment for being a person, but it is not qualified to be an official. Wu Ke also looked at Fang Xiao and said.
"The boy was taught. Fang Xiao also bowed his head and said.
"Accept it with an open mind and never change it. Wu Ke also said this sentence and stood up and walked inside. And Fang Xiao was also busy standing up. Wu Ke also turned his back and said: "Child, go and hit the south wall while you are young, maybe you will really crash away?" The old man is tired, this Shuntian Mansion is now the Mansion Yin." ”
And Fang Xiao also half-bowed until he sent this Wu Ke away, and then walked out of this place under the leadership of the little guy.
Fang Xiao also walked out of the Wu Mansion, his face was a little dignified, because now he had to worry about the Shuntian Mansion. And Wu Ke, who threw this heavy responsibility on Fang Xiao, was Mrs. Wu smiling and drinking tea.
Mrs. Wu was also dissatisfied and gave Wu Ke another cup of tea and said, "Come out to drink tea, come back and drink tea, you really like this tea." ”
"Ma'am, save yourself from making fun of me. Wu Ke also said after taking the teacup with a smile.
"Why don't you let me talk about your own affairs?" Mrs. Wu also said with a smile, "Looking at your appearance, I think that Fang Xiao was also deflated." ”
"No, I just annoyed him a little. Wu Ke also said with a smile.
Mrs. Wu frowned and said, "You are still really good, why bother at such an old age?
"Didn't you just say that Fang Xiao was not good, why are you talking for him again?" Wu Ke also nodded at his wife and said.
"It's all old husbands and wives, what are you doing here? Mrs. Wu also said, "Fang Cai is just annoyed that you are not fighting, but Fang Xiao, this kid is still so sensible, how can you make me hate it?"
"Have you seen the gift list?" Wu Ke also asked Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu was also a little annoyed when she heard this: "In your eyes, I am a person who sees money?"
"My lady, where do I mean that? Saying that, Wu Ke also grabbed Mrs. Wu and said, "It's not so much that I gave Fang Xiao some trouble, it's better that I asked him to hit the south wall by himself." Because Fang Xiao is still a child, he can do anything with this heart, even if he is a green forest bandit, it is better than being an official. Because the first priority of being an official is to suppress one's own heart, that is, to endure. ”
"You have some truth in that. Mrs. Wu also thought about it and said.
"Haha, the words of the husband naturally make sense. Wu Ke said with a smile. The whole room was also filled with the laughter of the husband and wife.
And Fang Xiao also returned to the mansion and had lunch with Fang Yongning and the three of them, and they also sat in the courtyard, but before they sat for a while, the people from Dali Temple also arrived at the mansion. "Fang Shaoyin, the little one is ordered by Lord Siqing to invite Lord Shaoyin to go to Dali Temple to supervise the trial. The little official also stood in front of Fang Xiao and said.
"You go to Dali Temple first where to report, just say I'll tidy up my appearance and I'll be there later." Fang Xiao also said with a smile.
"Yes, so it will bother Lord Shaoyin. The little servant also respectfully finished his salute and left. And Fang Xiao was about to go out after tidying up her official uniform, Fang Yongning also stopped Fang Xiao and said, "Brother, why are you a little restless." ”
"Is there one?" Fang Xiao also turned around with a smile and said, "It may be that the morning court didn't sleep on the first day, okay, don't think nonsense." After Fang Xiao finished speaking, he also yawned and was about to go out. And Fang Yongning also nodded, probably thinking that what Fang Xiao said made some sense, so he didn't delve into it.
And in Dali Temple, the people of the three law divisions also gathered together to laugh and chat. "Why do you say the emperor is so determined this time?" said an official in a purple court robe with a smile.
"Xungui is a big disaster for my dynasty, it turns out that the emperor has so many illusions, and secondly, the ancestors of these people are all shaded. You have all forgotten that Emperor Yongle only killed three or two people when he entered Nanjing City, and he still kept all the titles that should be kept. The waiter of the Criminal Department also said with a smile.
And the right capital Yushi also said with a smile: "This founding honor and Jing Nan honor are both legacy problems, we just need to do the emperor's affairs well, as for what attitude towards these people is, the emperor will naturally grasp it." ”
"I said, Lord Lou, this is not the style of your Ducha Yuan. The squire of the criminal department also said with a smile, "According to your human nature, you should also stand up and say that you will all be killed." ”
"If you don't come, I dare to say that it is the work of my Metropolitan Procuratorate, but after the court, we have to think about the consequences of doing so. "This right capital Yushilou Lord also said with a real face.
"Don't worry, the Cabinet will think about this problem for you. Dali Siqing also said after coming out of it.
Although the grade of this Dali Siqing is a few levels worse than that of the right capital imperial history, but these two people are serious in the same year, and naturally there will not be a dialogue between this Dali Siqing at the same level. Master Lou also smiled and said, "You old thing, didn't you say that you are unwell and want to go home to recuperate?"
"Recuperation is a small thing. This Dali Siqing also said with an unchanged face, "I still want to do something for His Majesty the Emperor." While everyone was chatting, Fang Xiao also walked in from outside.
"Boy Fang Xiao has seen all the adults. Fang Xiao said and was about to kneel. was also pulled by the right capital Yushi. Then he also opened his mouth and said: "You kid wants to kill us, you are waiting for the Son of Heaven to patrol today, and you are acting on behalf of the emperor." If you get down on your knees, how will we behave with ourselves? ”
"The kid didn't think of this section, and it was the boy's fault that the adults almost disrespected. Although Fang Xiao said this, because of his identity here, he also lowered his head lightly and stopped talking.
And Dali Siqing said with a smile: "You kid, it's a little interesting." ”
"My lord?" Fang Xiao didn't mean it, after all, he hadn't been in the capital for long, and several adults in the cabinet didn't want him to know many people, so Fang Xiao also looked at this Dali Siqing and asked.
"The old man Dali Temple Qing Xi Ren. That Dali Siqing also smiled and said.
"It turned out to be Lord Xi of Dali Temple. Fang Xiao also bowed respectfully, and then sat in the first place according to everyone's arrangement, after all, Fang Xiao was waiting for the Son of Heaven to supervise and interrogate, and this identity was placed here.
And Xi Ren also said after everyone was seated: "Since everyone is here, I will also talk about the arrangement of this case." ”
"It's all arranged by Lord Xi. The ministers who were seated also spoke.
And Xi Ren also said unceremoniously: "Once this case is in my Dali Temple, it will be led by my Dali Temple, so everyone has no opinion." ”
Naturally, there is no opinion below, so Xi Ren also continued: "The three law divisions will be tried, so it will be handed over to the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for deputy trial. Fang Shaoyin supervised the examination on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”
Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Lord Yushilou also clapped his hand and said, "Then let's open the hall." ”
Everyone also walked into the public hall of Dali Temple under the leadership of Xi Ren and Lou Boming, and did a good job according to the established position. And Fang Xiao was also sitting in the corner on the left, drinking tea slowly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"You are talking about Fang Xiao, do you still have to act so well, and you really have such a good ability to cultivate qi. Some of the officials of Dali Temple also gathered together and spoke.
"Who knows? It is said that at that time, the son of Dingguo Gong made this Fang Shaoyin very unable to get off the stage, according to me, this is not hateful is fake, but how to act like helplessness is his job today. Another official also answered.
"It's just a small thing, and you're about to spread this case to fly. According to me, the grievances between Fang Shaoyin and Dingguo Gong have long been crossed, but you officials are unwilling to go over. The official who was standing on the side and belonged to the Metropolitan Procuratorate said.
"You all inspect the Yuan, what's new?" the people from Dali Temple also asked after excitedly surrounding this person.
"What news can there be, it's just some rumors, I can tell you that this Fang Shaoyin is really not a person who will be revenged. After the Metropolitan Procuratorate finished speaking, he also stood aside and did not speak. The two people from Dali Temple also felt bored, so they stopped talking.
And in the main hall, Xi Ren, the secretary of Dali Temple, also patted the hall and said: "Open the hall!"
"Might, might!" the officials also shouted, and the hall also fell silent.
"Take the plaintiff. Xi Ren also said indifferently. With the issuance of this order, Na Pingzheng also took Hu Gui's widow to the court.
And Xi Ren also opened his mouth after sweeping the people who stood and knelt in this hall: "Who is kneeling, who is standing down." ”
"Lord Hui, the villain's name is Ping Zheng, and he is the lawyer of this Hu Qiu clan. The villain was lucky enough to gain fame because he was exempt from kneeling in the hall. Na Pingzheng also stood and said, "And this kneeling person is Hu Qiu's family." ”
Xi Ren also looked at Ping Zheng and said: "The hall is free to kneel, and he is already a lifter." How did you become a lawyer? And Ping Zheng also continued after giving up his hand: "The villain originally wanted to serve in the officialdom, but his mother was mourned for the first time. Therefore, I wrote some letters for my father and elders at home. ”
"It turned out to be Ding Wei. This Xi Ren also nodded and didn't delve into this issue, and said after breathing a sigh of relief, "Then what grievances do you have, and who are you going to sue?" ”
And Pingzheng also glanced at Hu Qiushi with trust, and this Hu Qiushi also knelt down and said: "Lord Hui, the women want to sue the Duke of Dingguo." ”
"You're going to eat the board, you know?" said Xi Ren.
Ping Zheng also hurriedly stood up and said: "Lord Qiyu, this Hu Qiu's husband has already received these twenty boards, and Lord Wu of Shuntianfu has also received the paper, so we are hearing the trial today." ”
