Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2569 Debate in the courtroom
It was raining heavily and the sky was dark, but the Taiji Palace was already brightly lit.

The ministers followed the steps to the gate of the Taiji Palace, but they did not enter through the main entrance and went straight up. Instead, they first went to the side hall to take off their shoes, and then the servants arranged their clothes. The small gates went out one after another and entered the main hall.

The ministers Wendong and Wuxi stood up one after another according to their ranks, and His Majesty Li Er, dressed in a bright yellow court uniform, paced out of the back hall and sat on the throne.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty bowed to the ground one after another and shouted: "I have an audience with His Majesty the Emperor!"

His Majesty Li Er sat high on the throne, looked around at the ministers in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers stood up, then took a step back, and sat down on their knees.

Red candles as thick as a child's arms were burning on both sides of the main hall. The candles were bright and solemn.

His Majesty Li Er was about to instruct Wang De, the chief servant, to carry out the Zhaohui agenda, when he suddenly saw the eldest grandson Wuji who was in the front row and was wearing a sackcloth with a white cloth on his head and wiped his forehead. , full of worry and asked: "The funeral in the mansion, you must be physically and mentally exhausted, just let me know in the last memorial, why do you need to go to the court? Come, someone, quickly escort Zhao Guogong back to the mansion!"

"Here!"

Wang De took the order from the side, ran to Changsun Wuji in small steps, bowed his head, and said softly: "Duke Zhao, His Majesty sympathizes with you, and let this old slave escort you back to your residence..."

Where is Changsun Wuji willing to go?

He naturally knew what His Majesty Li Er meant. This was giving him a step down and a warning: I will preside over today's court meeting, and all matters will be decided by me. Don't make trouble here...

However, he has no choice but to openly disobey the emperor's order. If he retreats this time, how will he show his toughness, and how will the nobles of Guanlong unite around him?
The son died as soon as he died, but he couldn't die in vain...

Ignoring Wang De, Changsun Wuji stood up and went out of duty, then knelt down on the bright gold bricks with a "plop" and cried out sadly, "Your Majesty! The old minister doesn't know how to advance and retreat, but now the white-haired man sends the black Faren, the sadness in my heart is like Dong Lei Xia Xue, I can't restrain myself! The world is nothing but the law of the king, please ask your majesty to seek justice for my short-lived child, so that he will not be wronged and die in peace!"

As soon as he cried like this, several ministers came out from behind him, all from Guanlong's background, they all knelt behind him, with angry expressions and sad words.

"That Fang Jun is full of evil, he should be sentenced to death, so that justice can be promoted!"

"As a minister, to instruct the soldiers under his command to injure and maim people. If you say it lightly, it is a public weapon for private use. If you say it serious, it is a murder by the army. If you don't punish it severely, the court will be ruined!"

……

Mess.

His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, raised his hand, and the nobles of Guanlong shut up quickly.

His Majesty Li Er stared at Changsun Wuji, and asked slowly: "It's not that I favored Fang Jun, but as far as I know, Changsun Huan committed suicide in front of Duke Zhao's mansion. There were many witnesses at that time, but why did Mr. Zhao Do you want to blame Fang Jun for Changsun Huan's death?"

Changsun Wuji spoke sadly and said: "Your Majesty, my son did commit suicide. However, the cause of this incident is all due to Fang Jun. The evening before yesterday, my son was playing with a group of friends on the street. And there was a conflict with the Fang family brothers and sisters and a group of clan children, and they hurt each other. This matter should have been tried by the Jingzhao Mansion or the Dali Temple, but because the clan children were involved, Jing Zhaoyin decided to transfer the case to When they arrived at Zongzheng Temple, because it was already late at that time, they ordered everyone to go home first, and went to Zongzheng Temple to surrender the next day. Unexpectedly, the people involved in the case were cowardly and fearful, and fled overnight, let alone Fang Jun ordered his soldiers to chase them out of the city. Beat everyone to the point of disability...Only my son was misunderstood by all his friends because he remembered Jing Zhaoyin's order and did not dare to abscond in fear of crime. The temple surrendered to the police, only to know all this, because a group of friends misunderstood that my son colluded with Fang Jun and betrayed everyone, which made my son sad and indignant, but they couldn't prove their innocence by themselves, so they could only prove their innocence by death... So my son's death Although it was suicide, it was actually caused by Fang Jun's private military campaign, wounding and maiming people, please Your Majesty to see clearly, punish Fang Jun, and rectify the country's laws and regulations!"

Fang Jun sat on his knees and couldn't help but click his lips.

This old fox is really cunning and cunning, and after some rhetoric, he actually betrayed the nobles of Guanlong for fear of causing the breakup of the interest group, which drove Changsun Huan to death, and turned it into his Fang Jun's fault...

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he wept bitterly, and even shook his body a few times. Two people from the Guanlong nobles rushed forward to support him, so he didn't faint on the spot in the Taiji Hall.

His Majesty Li Er remained silent for a while, and then asked, "Where is Fang Jun?"

Fang Jun hurriedly got up and went out of work, and said politely: "Your Majesty, I am here."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun and asked, "Are you sure about what Zhao Guogong said?"

Fang Jun said: "You don't need to judge yourself, it's definitely not the case."

Changsun Wuji was furious, glaring and shouting, "The soldiers who hurt people are all from Youtunwei, and the general leading the troops is Gao Kan, your subordinate. If he was not ordered by you, he is just a son of a lowly servant. How dare you beat and maim a whole family of children?"

Fang Jun had no expression on his face, and retorted: "First of all, Gao Kan is the general of the country. It’s okay to commit murder in Xiaguan, but where is the witness and where is the physical evidence? This is above the court. Please pay attention to your words. Framed, do you really think that the subordinates dare not hit you with their fists? Today, Nian is in a sad mood after the death of Zhao Guogong's son. Maybe he was deceived by a traitor and can't tell the truth from the fake, so he doesn't care about you. rude!"

Although Gao Kan was born in a well-known Gao family in Bohai, he was actually from a remote family with thin blood, and his father was even reduced to a lowly slave.Now Gao Kan, as the general of Youtunwei, has become the second most powerful general in Youtunwei after Fang Jun by virtue of his illustrious achievements in the First Battle of Mobei.

Changsun Wuji was so angry that his beard trembled, and he said angrily: "At that time, many children from aristocratic families who were injured and disabled can all prove it! That Gao Kan is in Youtunwei, there are quite a few people who know him!"

Fang Jun snorted: "Throughout the ages, I have never heard that the person involved can be a witness. Mr. Zhao Guo was once the prime minister of the country. Don't you know such a little common sense? Or pretend to be ignorant and pretend to be ignorant, trying to show His Majesty's sympathy for your bereavement. Turning black and white maliciously framed?"

Changsun Wuji's eyes were about to burst, and he roared angrily: "Fart! The sky is bright and the sky is bright, and the laws of heaven are clear and fair!"

He turned to His Majesty Li Er and said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, since this man refuses to plead guilty and is still wantonly slandering, I implore the Dali Temple to review the case, find out the truth, and give justice to the child who died in vain!"

The Guanlong nobles knelt down one after another and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please investigate this case and give justice to the dead, and justice to the injured and disabled!"

His Majesty Li Er sank down like water, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine too. Is Sun Fujia here?"

"My minister is here!"

Dali Temple Minister Sun Fujia hurried out of the class, bowed and saluted.

His Majesty Li Er said: "The impact of this case is very serious. Not only were several Guanlong children beaten and disabled, but Zhao Guogong's beloved son committed suicide because of this, and even my grandson was beaten and injured. The case will be heard by Dali Temple. Leave it to me to decide..."

He paused, then looked at a kind of clan official in the palace, his eyes glanced from the prince, and fell on Han Wang Li Yuanjia, and said: "This matter also involves many clan children, Han Wang, as Zong Zhengqing , and also led Zongzheng Temple officials to assist, I have only one request, no matter who is involved, no matter how much resistance you encounter, you must investigate the case clearly, and you must not bend the law for personal gain, otherwise I will only ask you!"

Li Yuanjia, king of Han, hurried out of the shift and took orders: "My minister obeys the order!"

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, turned to Changsun Wuji and said kindly, "Don't be too sad for the auxiliary machine, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly, and I will definitely not favor anyone."

Changsun Wuji paused and said: "Your Majesty is strong and impartial, and the old minister is only waiting for the result. But there is one thing, since Fang Jun is involved in this case, then the old minister kindly asks Fang Jun to suspend all the positions on Fang Jun until the case is clarified. It has nothing to do with it, and I will be reinstated as an official."

This is his ultimate goal...
