Shao Song
Vol 2 Chapter 2: Cross-examination
"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!
Zhao Guan's rage couldn't be kept from others, especially he didn't seem to want to keep anyone from it.
Of course, everyone seems to be able to understand this kind of anger. It finally made such a situation in the northwest, destroyed a century-old enemy, established an anti-golden united front, and expanded the country’s strategic advantage, even expedition. I came back with two more sons. They were supposed to be eating sweet and sour fish and grilling the dragon over this winter. Maybe I still have time to write more articles about "Journey to the West", but suddenly there are three big cases. Come out, everyone has lost their temper.
But anger goes to anger, and things can't be avoided.
Moreover, after the first snow, the weather became colder and colder, and until the first day of November, the courtiers in the Wende Hall saw a large number of courtiers, but Zhao Guan's family was too lazy to cover up, and directly mentioned the matter in court:
"Dali Temple!"
Dali Temple Qing Lu Yi immediately stepped out when he heard the words, then raised his wooden wat and bowed his head: "The minister is here."
"Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in Beijing about the three major winter cases. These three cases should all be presided over by Dali Temple. You are the chief official of Dali Temple. Can you say that until now?" Zhao Jiuduan sat on it, serious.
"Return to the official." Lu Yi spoke carefully. "The three cases are all in place. Yang Zheng killed his concubines and skinned them. They should be cut according to the law; Wang Bo (Pan Guifei's cousin) defrauded the top and the bottom, defrauded the money, followed the law, and returned the fraudulent property and fined him; Only Zhang Zongyan’s case is not a lawsuit, but involves the military. Dali Temple has moved to the Privy Council and the director of the imperial battalion. Xifu and the imperial battalion have asked Xifu and the imperial battalion to confess that they will dispatch troops without authorization. Whether they have permission or authorization from the boss can they be found to be guilty of the law... "
This answer was actually considered appropriate, but unexpectedly, facing this apparently confessed result, the superior Zhao official's family only frowned, but did not respond.
And in this gap, Ma Shen, Shang Shu of the Criminal Ministry, who had just come from the south and took office for ten days, suddenly stepped out and raised the wooden wat board to face him:
"Your Majesty, the minister is the Ministry of Criminal Justice. There are also words in these three cases!"
Besides, as the horse stretched out, they all choked up and down. From Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun and below, including the two newly appointed Zhisheren, almost everyone instinctively looked at all the Chinese martial arts in the temple, even Zhao Jiu also appeared. Seriously... Without him, Ma Shen was a veteran official in Jingkang. He has always been known for his spine, but more importantly, at the juncture where Lu Haowen led many people to turn to the original school, as a Taoist school. In fact, this famous person has always been in Jingxiang, and has insisted on the position of Taoism. He is considered to be a top-level member who has a rare background of Taoism in the middle of the country, and can be described as a standard minority.
In fact, when Zhao Jiu decided to use him as the criminal department that day, he valued his vigorous and rigorous work style, and put on an eclectic attitude in employing people. But who would have thought that, not long after this appointment was communicated, there were three very politically sensitive cases?
This person is out at this time, I am afraid that apart from being merciless, there is still Xiang Zhuang's sword dance intention in Pei Gong.
Sure enough, Ma Shen followed the Zhao official's nod slightly, and immediately pointed out the key: "Returning to the official, as far as the minister knows, in the three cases, there are actually some key points. Dali Temple was a little negligent and did not mention it... …For example, in the pre-sale treasury bond case, the criminal Wang Bo once confessed that he was acting as a helper for his cousin, Pan Guifei’s uncle, Pan Yongsi, not for himself...In other words, the case itself is simple, but the main culprit is unknown! It’s Pan Yongsi. The crime is still committed by Wang Bo, not to be negligent!"
There was some restlessness in the hall for a while, and Dali Temple Qing Lu Yi directly bowed his head deeply...Everyone knows how big the difference is between the meaning of Pan Guifei's uncle and a mezzanine cousin with a different surname.
Besides, Pan Yongsi is not just a relative, he is also the imperial order officer, and he has a great service. Back then, Zhao Gou, who was the king of Kang, welcomed the Queen Mother Yuanyou to Nanjing (Shangqiu), which was a bit of support... Later... Although he was expelled because of his status as a relative, he was granted the title of the court-men only because of his merits, and he was often restricted from entering and leaving the palace.
So it is completely conceivable that once the criminal is determined to be Pan Yongsi instead of Wang Bo, what disturbance will it cause in the public opinion of the world?
At that time, let's say something extreme, the imperial concubine and uncle are so greedy, who knows if the official family is pretending to be in the harem?
What's more, whether it is to issue national debt or restart the young crop loan, including the handover, the three are themselves a trinity. They are a package of fiscal reforms initiated by the imperial court to raise military expenditures. It is the same thing in the eyes of ordinary people... And if relatives can make a fortune from this kind of thing, then dare you to ask that the taxes added by the south are really in the military camp?
In fact, this is the key to the juxtaposition of this case with the two imperial battalions... This case actually refers to the official family and imperial battalions!
In other words, in the eyes of a truly understanding person, the essence of the three major cases, or the seriousness of these three cases, lies in the official family and the imperial battalion—the imperial family is based on the imperial battalion and the imperial battalion is based on the official clan As the core, between the two are eight or nine handsome officials and dozens of commanding officials. They are connected to each other and form a whole.
Without the existence of the 200,000 imperial army and the direct attachment of various commanders and commanders, where can the Zhao official's house be as stable as a mountain and regard the second sage as a grass?
Without the imperial army to accommodate the military presence among the refugees in Hebei and suppress the peasant uprisings in the south, where is the foundation of the country?
The strong and the strongest are the kings. Some things have that meaning, so there is no need to say anything wrong.
By the same token, if there is no imperial battalion to withstand the northern captives again and again, and no imperial battalion to counterattack again and again to regain lost ground, where did the Zhao official family arbitrarily push away one vested interest group after another, and discard one after another inherited from the five generations. Complicated system, forcibly granting land to the Central Plains and the Guanxi Army?
So that later in Shaoxing the officials were forcibly expelled, and Yuanxue was forcibly promoted in the DPRK?
It is the so-called confidant and one party of many officials in the hall. If the imperial battalion does not have the foundation for the military victories, how can they unite with the official family of Zhao and become the confidant and one party of the official?
"Pan Yongsi." Zhao Jiu was slightly startled when he heard the words, and he didn't know if he had thought of those things, but he immediately called out the name of the person mentioned by Ma Shen in the throne.
"The minister is here." A person flashed out from one side of the line of ministers, respectfully facing each other.
"Have you heard?"
"Return to the official." Pan Yongsi confronted boldly. "The minister heard it, but Dali Temple has long since transferred the text to the minister to defend himself on this matter, and the minister has already handed over the self-defense documents to the Dali Temple secretary. The minister has not taught strictly, so that the nephew Wang Bo wantonly bites the innocent... …"
Zhao Jiu was silent, and Ma Shen was also slightly startled.
"Your Majesty, although the minister is under suspicion, he still wants to impeach the Penal Ministry Shangshu Ma Shen for private purposes."
It was this stunned effort that Pan Yongsi actually hit back. "Ma Shangshu is certainly the chief official of the Penal Ministry, but he only entered Beijing for ten days, and even the officials of the Penal Ministry did not recognize all of them. How can he find the key points of the three trials in Dali Temple? If the suspect is exonerated, he will bite one today, tomorrow Climbing and biting one is a key point. Isn’t it a key point everywhere? What's more, Dali Temple has not been in vain because of the rank of the minister, but it is the hand of the official transfer of the Hanlin Academy of Economics, and the minister is defending himself... Where do I need to cross-examine Ma Shangshu in the Hall of Wende? Isn’t it because Ma Shangshu, a well-known scholar of calligraphy, has never liked his ministers to study the original studies, and has repeatedly sponsored the children of the Central Plains of Taixue?
Ma Shen was stunned to listen, and then he glared at him: "If this is the case, people with a Taoist background can't be important court officials? Otherwise, who will be stunned? Is it because of personal and public affairs?"
"Ma Shangshu also knows that he is an important court official, isn't he doing censorship?" Pan Yongsi was not afraid at all. "How important is the duty of Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs? One word can make people break the family and destroy the door, and there is no responsibility! And Ma Shangshu was in Beijing for ten days, without evidence, and could not wait to destroy the reputation of the people in the Wende Palace, which contained innuendo. , Even more so, it must be personal or public, and people have their own judgments!"
There is some truth to this statement, but what kind of character is Ma Shen, how can he be afraid of a foreign relative: "How absurd is this? The old man is not killing you, but just reminding the officials to be careful of the internal joints in this matter. The original intention is I came here carelessly about the Dali Temple officials. As for a foreign relative in the next step, does the old man need to deal with it sincerely? It is your Majesty, why have you ever cared about you?!"
"Isn't my relative's pure reputation? Isn't my relative's life not his life?!"
Pan Yongsi was still not afraid, and even louder. What's interesting is that at the Palace of Wende, for some reason, perhaps he was hesitating about the unity of the three major cases. Perhaps Pan Yongsi actually said something reasonable, and many important ministers actually let them go. A foreign relative clamored here. "How can a person who treats others like a grassy person do the important task of the Ministry of Justice?! Moreover, if the Ministry of Justice has doubts about the outcome of the Dali Temple trial, it should be moved to Wen Dali Temple and questioned, how can you smudge others on the Wende Temple?!"
Ma Shen finally sneered: "I'm afraid that some people will be connected to the net, and the officials will not be able to hear the truth... The old man didn't know that it was too hasty to take over the penal department for ten days, but if it has passed this Wende Palace dynasty If you can't say that these three cases are going to pass in a daze, then you will have a heavy burden!"
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more weird, and the few Yushi who had been eager to move were also angrily returned at this time. As for Pan Yongsi, after thinking about it, he just smiled, and then stood upright in his sleeves, as if he was stunned.
"Officials." Ma Shen didn't care when he saw this, but continued to bow his hands. "The minister still has two key points to tell the officials..."
"Speaking of." Zhao Jiu was not happy or angry.
"Return to the official." Ma Shen took a deep breath and beat his spirit again. "The other two key points...For example, in the Yang Zheng case, there is also a legal suspicion. It is that the Kansai civil and military officials have a lot of knowledge about his killing and skinning of concubines, especially in the army after the imperial camp. It has been circulated for a long time, but there are many things that have not been reported!"
Zhao Jiu's complexion remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly: "What else?"
"There is also the case of Zhang Zongyan..." Ma Shen became more serious. "As the Dali Temple said, this matter involves the military, and the ordinary criminal law is difficult to prove. You must first let the Imperial Army Department give an account. May I forgive the ministers to ask the official, a division can really hide it from an army. Du Tong? If the right army of the Yuying army is commanded by Zhang Jun’s palindrome and said that he did not know, is it considered Zhang Jun incompetent? If Zhang Jun’s palindrome is wrong, Zhang Zongyan has the right to make decisions on the occasion, this time the thousands of soldiers who died innocently in Shanghe, Minfu, is it just dead in vain?"
Zhao Jiu was silent.
"Officials." Ma extended his hand and said. "The minister knows that the officials are embarrassed today, but the minister is not the one who Pan Yongsi's mouth is arrogant. Otherwise, he must be admonishing in Taiwan. Today, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Wu Yu have been impeached one by one by the minister... Since it is the official book of the Ministry of Justice, today I only use the body of the Ministry of Justice to ask the official to give a definite answer on some legal arguments! After all, the emperor's mouth is constitutional, and there are some things that your Majesty does not give clear provisions, and the world is always in chaos. "
"What language?"
"The imperial service is high, and everyone knows it. Like the handsome officials, they all boast of the merits of Zhongxing Auxiliary, the actions of calming chaos and Anbang, so that they have repeatedly acted above the law and the system... …" Ma Shen stood upright and stood upright. "Dare to ask the officials, do you want to give them this authority, is it right that the punishment is not under the control, and the blame should be placed on the handsome officials?"
Zhao Jiu remained silent and didn't know what he was thinking, but Ma Shen just leaned over and waited for a reply. Not only that, none of the other chief executives in the hall actually spoke.
The scene stiffened for a while.
This scene is terrifying for some people who are first based in the temple. For example, Mei Li, a new straight scholar who claims to be a capable person, has already had his brains as confused as a paste at this time. What is clever and organized is nothing. It's useless, just dumbfounded.
Of course, although everyone is speechless, not everyone is as confused as the Meishe people, like a few princes, and Lin Jingmo, who is standing next to Ma Shen, but they know the situation well.
From the very beginning, Kobayashi had realized what was going on, so he didn't react this time. It wasn't because he was too slow to move, but because he was caught in a position dilemma like other important ministers.
As I said before, the three major cases are essentially integrated and point to the official family and the imperial camp.
Yang Zheng’s case reminds everyone that there are still a large number of old-style military officers in the imperial army that officials rely on. The average moral quality of those warriors is still lower than that of scholar-officials, and even lower than ordinary people. The camp skin will be completely new.
The pre-sale of national debt also clearly shows that whether it is a new or old powerful person, no matter who is in front of fame and fortune, the depravity will degenerate.
As for Zhang Zongyan’s case, it is more serious than the first two combined. The first two can also be blamed on personal lack of virtue. This incident clearly shows that after the imperial army had eliminated the shortcomings of the Japanese soldiers who did not know the generals, they did not know the soldiers. The thing that worries the most has finally happened... They can actually do it on their own.
It didn't matter if it was on its own terms, but it was actually defeated, and it made the people of the world doubt the combat effectiveness of the imperial camp at the same time, and the influence of Xixia's grand victory was also greatly reduced.
These three cases suddenly piled up together, and immediately gave the opposition in the South the pretext to attack the ruling party! Daoists have previously asked to let go of the ban on reporting, and Ma Shen's demeanor approaching the palace at this time has a vaguely echoed state.
The reason why the ministers in the hall chose to be silent is simpler...Although they are an official and a party, although they are not the same with Ma Shen, they are not warriors in the imperial system...They are traditional scholar-officials!
The Yuying and the official family are one, and they are also one with the official family, but they are not one with the Yuying!
Therefore, when Ma Shen asked this question, the official confidant of Kobayashi couldn't help but want to hear the official answer.
Of course, these thoughts seem like a hundred revolutions, but they are only a moment.
In the lobby, this kind of confrontation only lasted for a moment, and the Zhao official’s family broke up: "I know what Ma Shangshu wants to hear, and I also know why everyone in the temple is so quiet today, and I actually thought about it a long time ago... Besides, , I am also unwilling to cover up, and I am not willing to cover up... You want words, what I give you is... That is where I am, the commander is listed with the ruler, the commander is listed with the secret cabinet and the ministers, and the civil and military are equally important. ! If the country has never killed the master for a certain crime, it will not kill the commander for a certain crime; and if the secret pavilion also killed the concubine and skinned it, I must have cut the matter."
There was an uproar in the hall, and it took a long time to gradually calm down... This answer was actually expected by many people, but it still made many officials present a little sad.
However, when the scene calmed down, before Ma Shen could say more, Zhao Guan Jiaran continued to speak with a black face:
"More than that, I think that there is a bottom line for being an official. If the princes and commanders also kill concubines and skinning, I am afraid I cannot bear it. Then what should I do? For the sake of the face of the country, I will probably seduce him. When I went to the palace, I personally chopped him up and made fertilizer in the fish pond! Then outsiders said that a certain mate, a certain Jidu, slipped and drowned by himself!"
There was finally a slight laughter in the hall... Frankly speaking, they all felt that this kind of thing could only happen to the military ministers. If the scholar-bureaucrats did this and could still be ranked as the ruler, then the country would be out of shape. Up.
"There's more." Zhao Jiu continued to be solemn. "I still don't want to hide it from you... I am not the kind of person who is like a bird, Liang Gong Zang, now the country is going to fight and don't mention it, one day it will be peaceful, one or two handsome officials have the skills and qualifications, and they are turned into a post. I am afraid that it is also commonplace, and if any Jinshi background can fight, I think it’s okay to be an imperial military commander... Don’t make a fuss at that time."
The hall suddenly became quiet again.
"The minister understands." Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more solidified, Ma Shen, who was vaguely regretful, fell silent for a while, still stubbornly arched his hands and asked. "There is another word... the imperial battalion is self-contained and shields each other. The ministers dare to ask the officials, whether the law of the country can restrict military affairs?"
"Of course it can be restrained." Zhao Jiu seemed to have opened some gate, and continued to be right. "But the soldiers themselves are special, and they cannot use the punishment system to restrain military affairs. Otherwise, don't the killings in the battlefield have to be decapitated? There must be a complete military law... The Ministry of Justice can formulate a proper military law on this matter with the Privy Council. Special review of the general affairs of the battalion."
"The official, please state clearly, about what matters belong to the Xing Tong, and what matters belong to the military law?"
"If Yang Zheng killed a concubine, it would fall into the criminal system, based on the criminal system, with reference to the military law. If his superiors and subordinates in the military knew not to report, they also belonged to the criminal system. No, whether to participate or not, all are based on military laws and refer to Xing Tong." Zhao Jiu blurted out, obviously he was prepared. "Is the Criminal Ministry satisfied?"
"Officials joking, enacting laws, and safeguarding guidelines are things that satisfy the people of the world. What does it mean if the officials are dissatisfied?" Ma Shen was still not afraid. "However, the officials must answer their questions, and the ministers really have nothing to say."
"You have nothing to say, I still have words." Zhao Jiu took a long breath. "Actually, I have never thought about long-term peace and stability, nor have I expected that everyone will be Yao and Shun... Human nature is so, and these three cases are not surprising at all, but so many cases came so soon, and so concentrated. , It is also my negligence..."
There was nothing to say, Zhao Ding and other clergymen finally came out and bowed to beg their guilt, and the atmosphere in the hall also slowed down.
But at this moment, the Zhao official's family suddenly called another name: "Pan Yongsi!"
"The minister is here!"
"You just argued with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is on your side only to discuss the truth. Even if you find out that this case was done by you in the future, I will say that." Zhao Jiu smiled. "You can't be humiliated just because you are a relative."
"The officials can be so fair, the minister is grateful." Pan Yongsi couldn't help but glanced at Ma Shen triumphantly.
Although Ma Shen was anxious, he was helpless after all, so that Cheng Li Guang was a little annoyed for a while, and he was ready to go out for advice.
But soon, the next sentence of the official Zhao’s made the hall cool down: “But Pan Yongsi, is the main culprit in this case you? In the public, if you confess in public, I can give you a lighter treatment, that is, the Criminal Ministry. It's not easy to embarrass you."
Pan Yongsi was stunned~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then shook his head solemnly: "The official is looking down on the minister! It's not the minister who did it, it wasn't the minister!"
Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, then looked at the other person again: "Dali Temple! Lu Qing!"
"The minister is here!" Dali Temple Qing Lu Yi frightened a Ji Ling.
"On the 15th of last month, you went to Song Sao Yugeng to order three boxes of takeaways at your house, but after the takeaways were delivered, someone suddenly followed and delivered another box of takeaways to... Is that the case?" Zhao Jiu asked curiously.
Lu Yi was stunned on the spot, but after a moment, it was Pan Yongsi who knelt directly on the ground in the distance, and then kept knocking on the ground.
Then Lu Yi reacted, and regardless of his identity, he knelt to the ground, and then avoided calling him right: "The minister is guilty! The minister thought that the official would gently let the matter go for the imperial concubine, so he rashly accepted a box of Pan Sheren. pearl……"
"Why should I let this matter lightly?" Zhao Jiu was finally completely furious on the throne. "My imperial battalion, my New Deal, my fundamentals are on these matters... it's just a matter of facts. The national debt is also something that I personally signed and pledged. What I sell is my credibility! As a result, he was empty and white teeth, relying on the barrier I give up my share to collect money in vain... Why do you say that I should let this matter lightly?! I gave my concubine decent, who gave me decent? Did you use words to persecute Ma Shangshu, who had me for most of the day? He gave me decent ?!"
Ma Shen, who was about to go out to praise the official manner, was immediately anxious, and Mei Li and Chao Gongwu, who were in Zhishe, were even more stunned again.
And the official Zhao in the throne was too lazy to pay attention. He got up and walked away, leaving only the last sentence: "The case is handed over to the Criminal Ministry. From tomorrow, I will go to inspect the river defense and inspect the imperial battalion troops to take precautions... …You wait and do it for yourself."
PS: Thank you Xiaoyu for the second cuteness, and also thanks to the new leader Feng Yu Nandu, this is the 149th cuteness in this book!
