Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1197
The mountains in the distance already have the color of green daisy, but the city of Chang'an is still cold in spring.

However, today, the most powerful city in the world seems to be like a pot of boiling hot water. Countless people and scholars came out and gradually gathered in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, enclosing the entire street.

The "Fang Jun Murder Case" that has been raging has been in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice today by the "Three Judges" from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and Yushitai!
Whether it is the imperial guards of the palace guards, Marquis Wu who arrested the bandits, the patrols of the Jingzhao Mansion, and the garrison of the Sixteen Guards, all bowed and stringed their knives out of their sheaths. Those people with ulterior motives stir up public opinion and take the opportunity to make trouble...

Fang Jun is a celebrity.

Not only is he a high-ranking official in charge of the Jingzhao Mansion, but he is also the son of Zaifu and the emperor's son-in-law.All the people in Guanzhong are benefited by him, and everyone promotes Fang Jun's benevolence, making his reputation upright, and he seems to be a leading figure among the younger generation of officials. Liang!
But now, it is this Jing Zhaoyin who has the reputation of "Buddha of all families", who is involved in a murder case...

The common people are simple and simple. In this age when the literacy rate is extremely low, their simple minds only believe in their own judgment.And their reason for judging things is very simple-bad guys will not do good things, and good people will never do bad things!
You ask Fang Jun is a good guy or a bad guy?

Even a three-year-old baby will yell at you: "I will be Fang Erlang in the future!"

How could a good official like Fang Jun, who is dedicated to serving the public and caring for the people, be involved in the murder case?

The people didn't believe it, and since Fang Jun had never pleaded guilty, they all believed that Fang Jun was framed and slandered by his political opponents and suffered injustice.

When the two poems on the wall in the prison were published and widely circulated among the people, the public opinion suddenly became fierce, and the people were filled with anger!

Still the same sentence, how could such a talented man like Fang Jun, who has never been seen since ancient times, do such things that violate the laws of the country?

"The heavy snow crushes the green pine, and the green pine is straight and straight..."

"I smiled to the sky from the sidelines, to save the Kunlun..."

Even the scholars all over the world who came to the capital to prepare for the Spring Festival couldn't sit still!
You listen!
If there is no great grievance, how can such a majestic and heroic poem be written with anger?
Lords of the court, don't you open your eyes and see?
Will such a loyal, honest and self-defense official be framed and slandered by you, have to be charged with murder and be convicted, thus cutting off his bright future?

The common people and scholars were outraged, they dared not openly complain for Fang Jun, but they could spontaneously come to the criminal department to express their dissatisfaction and anger silently!
Finally, His Majesty, who was in the Taiji Palace, heard the voice of anger from the people, and held the "Three Judges", the highest regulation of the Tang Dynasty, to try Fang Jun's case.

In the eyes of the common people, this is an opportunity set up to clean up Fang Jun's grievances.The common people have a steelyard in their hearts. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the government has been clear and strict, and even His Majesty the emperor, who is the supreme emperor in the world, will be honest and wrong in the face of Wei Zheng's merciless remonstrance. Huazhang!
Even if there are one or two unscrupulous villains in the DPRK who make such insidious and treacherous actions, most of them are honest and honest officials.After the trial of the "Third Division Judge", Fang Erlang will definitely be innocent!
Therefore, the common people and scholars all flocked to the criminal department, waiting to receive the results of the trial as soon as possible...

*****
In the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment, officials from the three judicial divisions gathered together.

Sun Fujia, Minister of Dali Temple, Liu Dewei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Ji, Minister of Zhishu, and the "three envoys" were all present.

"Censor Zhongcheng" was established during the Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, he was the second official of the Censor Doctor, or called the Censor Zhongcheng Law Enforcement, with a rank of thousands of stones.Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty abolished the official censor, and took Yushi Zhongcheng as the chief officer of Yushitai, which has been passed down through the dynasties, but the official name has changed from time to time: Cao Cao once changed Yushi Zhongcheng to Gongzheng, and corrected all officials Chaoyi; the Northern Wei Dynasty also changed his name to Zhongwei.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the political situation was unstable and the world was in turmoil, and the royal doctor was put on and off, and even if this official position was established, it was often absent.

Therefore, Yushi Zhongcheng is actually the chief of Yushitai.In the Sui Dynasty, the Yushi doctor was installed, but the Yushi Zhongcheng was not installed. In the Tang Dynasty, when the country was established, the Yushi Zhongcheng was changed to govern the book and serve the Yushi. significance.
It wasn't until Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne that the emperor's name was tabooed, and then he changed the censor's official censor back to the censor Zhongcheng, but this is a later story...

Sun Fujia is in the middle, Liu Dewei is on the left, and Liu Ji is on the right. The three occupy the main position, majestic and majestic.Wei Yijie, the left servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Zhang Yunji, the right servant, accompanied the last seat, a total of five people, forming the main body of today's trial.

However, this case has a far-reaching impact and is of a bad nature. The deceased is the son of Changsun Wuji, and the suspect is the son of Fang Xuanling, which has already affected the interests of the four parties. Wang Li Xiaogong and other court dignitaries sat on the sidelines to ensure the fairness of the trial.

Outside the lobby, loud and noisy voices came faintly...

Sun Fujia frowned slightly, turned his body slightly, and said to Liu Dewei beside him: "There are so many people and scholars outside the world. Once there is a deviation in the trial of the case, it will easily cause confusion in public opinion and lead to serious consequences. This place is the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. Why doesn't Liu Shangshu send The yamen servants will disperse them all to prevent accidents?"

Liu Dewei was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand and give Sun Fujia a hard punch...

Even if you want to cheat people, don't be so obvious, okay? Are you insulting my IQ or amusing me on purpose?

Even the emperor acquiesced in allowing these common people and scholars to gather outside the yamen of the Ministry of Justice, and you asked me to disperse them... If conflicts are caused, do you want my hat?
Liu Dewei glanced at Sun Fujia, and said angrily: "How many people are there in the Criminal Department? If such a small number of people go out, they will be surrounded immediately. Besides, there is quite a misunderstanding about the Criminal Department, so it's okay not to disperse them. I went there, maybe I was caught in front of treacherous ministers and made trouble. However, the censors of Yushitai have always been upright and honest, with a good reputation, and the people are very impressed. Why not let Liu Yushi send the extremely censor to persuade the people and scholars? Are all the sons gone?"

Liu Jie rolled his eyes, and said lightly, "The Yushitai is in charge of supervising all the officials. How can there be any experience in communicating with the common people? Most of the yamen servants in the Ministry of Punishment are from the common people, and they are more close to the people. Presumably the common people trust them more."

Liu Ji would not have fallen for Liu Dewei's tricks, not only did he simply refuse, but he also kicked the ball back...

Liu Dewei's eyelids twitched, and he held back his anger.

motherfucker!

What does it mean that the yamen servants of the Ministry of Punishment come from the people and are more close to the people?

You might as well just say that the yamen servants who despise the Ministry of Criminal Justice are a bunch of mud legs...

The three murmured a few words, since they wanted to cheat others anyway, it didn't matter if they didn't succeed, so they all quieted down and kept their mouths shut.

Leaning slightly, a yamen servant walked in quickly outside the door, and said respectfully: "The time has come."

Sun Fujia nodded, cleared his throat with a cough, and said in a loud voice, "The case of Changsun Dan's murder is now under trial by the Tribunal. Bring the prisoner Fang Jun to court!"

"promise!"

Then a few yamen servants under the hall responded and went to the prison to mention people.

After a while, Fang Jun, who was dressed in normal clothes and full of energy, was brought to the lobby.

Fang Junxin stepped inside, stood firmly in the hall, first saluted the three presiding judges, then saluted the elders beside him, and then stood up straight, facing the "Third Division" in the main seat with a calm expression. Make".

Sun Fujia glanced at Fang Jun, and said loudly: "Fang Jun, can you plead guilty to the murder of grandson Dan?"

Fang Jun pursed his lips, speechless for a while...

Li Xiaogong on the side sighed slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.He has had a lot of contact with Fang Jun, and he knows how arrogant this seemingly irritable and casual young man is in his bones!It is a kind of arrogance as if standing on the clouds and looking down on all living beings, and it is a kind of courage with the whole world in mind!
But it is such a young man who is so proud to the bone, but he has to obey His Majesty's will and bow his head to confess...

The old god Wei Zheng, who has always been famous for his admonition and uprightness, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and his gray eyebrows did not move. Whether Fang Jun deserved what he deserved or was framed, it seemed that everything in front of him had nothing to do with him...

Linghu Defen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his heart was very bright!

Didn't you kid humiliate me over and over again?Now see what happens to you!The entire Guanlong Group has been mobilized with all its strength, and countless favors and interests have flowed to the five officials in charge of the "Three Law Departments". In addition, there are Jiangnan gentry who have fallen into trouble, and Shandong aristocratic families who sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The overall situation is set!

I'm just waiting to see how you, the "Fang family's thousand-mile steed", fall from the clouds to the dust, and how you will be trampled on like an ant!
There was silence in the lobby.

No matter what camp they are in, everyone in the hall already knows in their hearts that the Fang family will definitely be convicted today...

Since it is irretrievable, everyone is naturally happy to give Fang Jun some time. After all, even if he is dismissed from office and exiled into the army, Fang Jun is still the stick. Notoriously vicious, really not to be provoked...

Everyone is waiting for Fang Jun to plead guilty.

Fang Jun stood with his hands behind his back, Zhuo Ran standing in the hall, his expression on his face changed, and his heart wavered.

Is it to follow His Majesty Li Er's wish to bow his head and plead guilty, waiting for subsequent compensation?

Or follow your own heart, even if you have to fight to the end?
After a long time, Fang Jun let out a breath slowly.

Looking around at all the people in the hall, whether full of sympathy or sighing, or triumphant and gloating, all kinds of gestures can be seen.
