Chapter 1438 The storm is coming
The hall fell silent again.
The Qiu Shenji case has caused a lot of trouble recently, and it has really touched the hearts of many people...
If it is said that he violated the law, Qiu Shenji did indeed break the law. First, he made a big fuss in the military department and injured many soldiers, and then verbally insulted the court officials, and then even his servants rammed into Princess Jinyang's car, which almost frightened the already frail and sickly Princess Jinyang. , both are first-class mortal sins.
Seriously, one exile is enough.
But the problem is that Qiu Shenji's two crimes seem to be justifiable after careful investigation...
The cause of the disturbance at the Ministry of War was that the Ministry of War seized his documents beforehand, and then refused to assign him an official position. It seemed normal to make a disturbance, but more people suspected that someone was planning to frame the car that collided with Princess Jinyang. It was also a bit of a coincidence.
The emperor believed that Qiu Shenji despised the court and the royal family, so no amount of punishment would be too much. On the contrary, if the emperor believed that there were reasons for these two incidents, it seemed reasonable to give him a lenient sentence...
How to deal with it in the end depends on the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart.
His Majesty Li Er did not announce the disposition of Qiu Shenji on the spot, but looked at Sun Fujia who had been hiding behind the crowd without saying a word: "Sun Aiqing, according to your opinion, how should we deal with the case of Qiu Shenji?"
Sun Fujia felt helpless, Your Majesty, you are arbitrarily asserting the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart, how to deal with it, who dares to say no?It's just that I want to throw this offending job on Wei Chen's head... Wei Chen has a small hat, and it's really a lot of pressure to bear the resentment of Qiu Xinggong's talent.
But whose family is the king and who is the minister?
He can only do the dirty and tiring work, and he has to take the blame when it's done...
He had already prepared an argument in his heart, and Sun Fujia immediately said: "Return to Your Majesty, Qiu Shenji made a big disturbance in front of the army, and the car that rammed into Princess Jinyang was behind. Now that you have pleaded guilty to the law and confessed your crimes, according to the "Zhenguan Law", you should be sentenced to exile for three thousand miles."
The ministers nodded one after another, which was not too much of a surprise.As the Minister of Dali Temple, Sun Fujia has always judged impartially and impartially, and this ruling is also strictly in accordance with the "Law of Zhenguan", and no one can find fault.
Everyone looked at Gao Shilian again. Everyone knew the relationship between the Gao family and the Qiu family. If Gao Shilian hadn't been supported by Qiu Xinggong's father, Qiu He, when Gao Shilian fell into poverty in Qiongzhou, he would not have had the chance to recover. I'm afraid that my little life will also be left in the ends of the earth where the smog is everywhere...
Now that Qiu Shenji is in trouble, how can Gao Shilian sit back and watch?
This is not a small crime. Once issued three thousand miles, it is tantamount to a huge political stain. A governor of Zhongzhou.
This is nothing more than a bolt from the blue for a brave young general who comes from a family...
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Gao Shilian's old face was calm, his gray eyebrows did not even tremble, his eyelids were drooping, and he was holding a teacup and sipping slowly, as if he didn't listen to the words of the Highness at all. In the middle, there is no intention of talking at all.
Don't you want to plead for Qiu Shenji?
The ministers were puzzled. It stands to reason that with the respect that His Majesty Li Er has always shown Gao Shilian, as long as Gao Shilian says a word, at least the crime can be reduced...
However, something even more miraculous happened. Gao Shilian remained unmoved, but Changsun Wuji jumped out to speak...
"Your Majesty, although the evidence for what Qiu Shenji committed is convincing, there was a reason for it. The Ministry of War was originally responsible for it. Qiu Shenji should not be blamed for it. Princess Yang is driving...Fortunately, isn’t Princess Jinyang all right? In my opinion, it’s a bit too heavy to be distributed for three thousand miles, so why not reduce her to a soldier and allow her to go to the Western Regions to perform crimes and make meritorious service?”
Changsun Wuji's tone was unhurried, but it really surprised the officials.
As Qiu Xinggong's backer, Gao Shilian didn't say a word and let him go, but instead, the representative of the Guanlong Group, Changsun Wuji, who had always resisted Qiu Xinggong's fight for military power in the army, pleaded for him?
What exactly is going on……
Not only the ministers were baffled, but even His Majesty Li Er was also at a loss.
But just a little bit stunned, everyone understood that there must be some unknown activities, such as... Qiu Xinggong betrayed his benefactor Gao Shilian, and turned to Changsun Wuji's camp?
This is very possible.
His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy.
His face has never looked better this day...
He wanted to pass Sun Fujia's resolution, but it was not his wish to ignore Changsun Wuji so bluntly.After all, the love for so many years is there, and the achievements of Changsun Wuji are almost incomparable, not to mention the family affection of Empress Wende...
Even if they are drifting away, the love is still there, and some face is always given.
Fang Jun naturally understood His Majesty Li Er's intentions, but he just wanted to give Changsun Wuji a step down. Thinking about it, this step was originally intended for Gao Shilian, but Gao Shilian was indifferent to Qiu Shenji's dispatch into the army...
His Majesty Li Er wanted to give Changsun Wuji face, but Fang Jun didn't intend to give the emperor face.
"Returning to Your Majesty, there is indeed some truth in what Zhao Guogong said, but it is a bit short-sighted and narrow-minded."
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole room exclaimed. Hearing these words, do you plan to follow your majesty?
Changsun Wuji was even more blushing and very angry.
Fang Jun continued as if no one was around, and continued: "No matter how great human affection is, it is nothing more than legal principles. All the ministers here are His Majesty's robes, and most of them have followed His Majesty to charge and go through fire and water. On the one hand? If that's the case, why do we need the law? The existence of the law is to give everyone a standard of conduct, and we must never go beyond the standard. Even if the prince breaks the law, he should be guilty of the same crime as the common people! Zhao Guogong, as an important minister of the state and His Majesty's humerus, only sees the benefits of human relations, and ignores the majesty of the criminal law and the justice of the national law. If you dare to ask a question, you can know that this is the root of chaos and the advice of disaster. ?”
When it comes to the last sentence, the eyebrows are raised, the tone is sonorous, and the whole body is full of righteousness, just like the possession of Bigan in Shang and the rebirth of Qu Yuan in Chu!
Needle dropping can be heard above the main hall, and the officials are dumbfounded...
Changsun Wuji almost got smoke from his nose!
He stood up from his seat with a sound of "huh", pointed at Fang Jun with a trembling hand, almost ignited his gray beard and hair with anger, and shouted sharply: "How dare you! How dare you humiliate Yu so so? When following His Majesty's narrow escape and charged into the battle, you didn't know whose belly you were in! You are so arrogant now, it really is unreasonable! I am loyal to His Majesty and work hard for Datang. How can it be your turn to be a brat? Wanton slander!"
Changsun Wuji was very angry, but Fang Jun spread his hands and said innocently: "Look, you see, the officer is right, right? We are talking about the law to be fair and strict, and you will And how did you talk about it back then... I admire you for your great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Only you, seniors, followed His Majesty to conquer this country, so where is it for us juniors to talk about it again? But credit is one thing, seniority is another, reason is another, you can't make a lot of credit, you have to be responsible for everything, right?"
Seeing that Changsun Wuji was so angry that his beard and hair were stretched out, he quickly complained to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, you are the one who asked this minister, and this minister said that... You can't let this minister speak, but this minister has no conscience. Are you telling lies? As a result, the minister said it, but Zhao Guogong didn’t like to listen to it, and the minister was wronged..."
His Majesty Li Er had a dark face, gritted his teeth, and stared at Fang Jun.
Are you wronged?
You are wronged!
You little bastard, I told you to talk, did I tell you to say these things?
It just doesn't make sense!
He was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but he saw Sun Fujia also stood up from his seat, bowed to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "What Fang Shilang said is the truth of heaven and earth! Since the law has been established, everyone must obey it. Guessing that the favor is powerful, isn’t it just a fake? The evidence of Qiu Shenji’s case is undeniable and irrefutable, I implore Your Majesty to punish him according to the law!”
He really liked Fang Jun's words to the bottom of his heart!
It is simply a confidant!
Everyone knows that the law must be fair, but when things come to an end, how many people can realize this?Could it be that he trampled on the law arbitrarily by relying on power and favor, just for his own convenience.Sitting in the position of Minister of Dali Temple, he knows how difficult it is to enforce the law impartially.
But he is just and selfless, so he is always constrained and full of complaints when doing things.
For example, in the case of Qiu Shenji, the evidence was undeniable and indisputable, so what is there to argue about?It's nothing more than distribution to the south or west...
So at this time, Fang Jun said such a remark, and he felt the same way. Seeing that the emperor wanted to reprimand Fang Jun, he immediately stood up and expressed his support.
But I don't know that this made His Majesty Li Er so angry... His throat moved, and he swallowed the words on his lips. His square face was darker than the bottom of the pot. Holding back his anger, he said angrily: "Then do this Now, retreat!"
Immediately got up and walked away.
The ministers looked at each other, you just left, what about the banquet?
