Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 728
Facing Kong Yingda's trembling fingers, Sun Xiangfu smiled lightly, "I'm fine, and I'm eliminating traitors for the country and harm for the people."

Sun Xiangfu was a little disappointed that he didn't swell up his other eye. It seemed that he really wasn't made for a fight.

However, with his punch, the people in the audience were very relieved, as if they had found their backbone, they applauded again and again.

"Sun Zhengming, what crime should you have for beating up the minister under the watchful eyes of the public?" Kong Yingda was not fighting alone, beside him, there were a bunch of pious dogs. When Kong Yingda was still in a daze, they all yelled and questioned road.

"When it comes to discussing crimes, then we have to discuss them."

Speaking of this, Sun Xiangfu raised his first finger and said, "First of all, Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor regard the people of Jiuyuan County as parents, brothers and children, drinking together, eating together, singing together, dancing together, and being close to each other.

Why did these people come to Kong Jijiu, but they were accused of being troublemakers? This is disrespect to His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor. Do you have any objection to this crime? "

Hearing this, many doctors and students of Guozijian were stunned, and suddenly remembered that Li Shimin and Li Yuan lived here for nearly a year last year, and only set off to return to Chang'an in the spring of this year. People close to him, but they refer to him as a troublemaker, which is indeed a crime of disrespect.

However, now, they are being beaten, they are justified, and it is not the time to be soft, so there is a person in the crowd who has a quicker brain, and said, "Even if Master Kong made a slip of the tongue for a while, there is a reason for it. Moreover, you should not add fists to Master Kong again."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "Then, let's talk about the second crime. The imperial court seems to have regulations on meeting etiquette among officials! Besides, didn't you see the thing hanging on my waist? "

Although the atmosphere in the imperial court is now open, there are still regulations that restrict the behavior of officials. Moreover, these regulations were originally made by the Ministry of Rites. It is people like Kong Yingda who are pushing for compliance. Being caught hurts my feet.

But after being reminded by Sun Xiangfu, they remembered that the person in front of them was Duke Nong of the Tang Dynasty, a prince and junior teacher, with the title of the first rank, and the official position of the second rank.

As for Kong Yingda, he only offered wine from the third-rank Guozijian, two ranks lower than Sun Xiangfu. This is still an official in the non-administrative department of the imperial court, and the age limit has been relaxed. Xiao Yu, the future head of the mountain, Yu Shinan, the chief professor, and Zhen Quan, the head of the medical school, are all old people over the age of [-]. What is added to them is a level of honor, which does not involve administrative authority.

Otherwise, at Kong Yingda's age, according to the court's current retirement system, he should have gone home to retire long ago.

According to the court etiquette system, lower-level officials need to bow their hands and salute when they meet higher-level officials, and the grades differ by more than three levels. Open, the general requirements are not strict, and the implementation is also very casual.

But the more terrible thing is that Sun Xiangfu wears a festival talisman on his waist, and there are two pieces, one is to inspect the prefectures and counties all over the world, and the other is to proclaim and appease some Taoists. He wears a festival talisman and a jade order on his body. emperor.

Whether it is a Beijing official or a local official, seeing the festival talisman is like seeing the king in person. Kong Yingda not only did not salute Sun Xiangfu, but even pointed at him and yelled at him. Hitting him on behalf of the emperor is still light, if you really want to investigate, suspend his official position, and send him to the Ministry of Justice for prosecution, at least he will be demoted or even dismissed from office.

After taking a good look at the two jade plaques on Sun Xiangfu's waist, Kong Yingda, who was sitting on the stage, didn't dare to pretend that her eyes were hurting anymore. A man in his 60s stood up from the ground with a jerk, and bowed his hands He saluted and said, "The old man's eyes were attacked, and he couldn't see the festival talisman clearly. I don't know if it's the imperial envoy in person. Please forgive me."

And those people behind Kong Yingda, after realizing it, bent down and bowed down, and the arrogant posture of shouting at Sun Xiangfu disappeared completely.

And those people in Jiuyuan County who regard Sun Xiangfu as their backbone, when they saw these invincible guys just now obediently scrambling to bow down, their anger was half relieved, and they all waited quietly to read the following .

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Sun Xiangfu excused everyone's courtesy, and said again, "According to the rules, at your age, you can be punished lightly. If you are rude before the festival, if I punch you, you have the right to do so." Punishment, are you always convinced?"

'I'll give you a punch', how Kong Yingda heard and felt awkward about this sentence, but he couldn't be serious about this matter. This was the core ideology related to the authority of the emperor, and he couldn't offend it.

So, he cupped his hands again and said, "Your official, be convinced."

"Okay, this matter, even if the story is over, where is the county magistrate Sun Dali?" After Sun Xiangfu said, his eyes glanced down the stage.

Sun Dali, who was in the crowd, immediately squeezed to the front of the stage and said, "The lower officials are here."

Sun Xiangfu said sternly, "The garden party here is hosted by you, Jiuyuan County, why there is confrontation between the government and the people, and even mutual beatings, you come from the truth."

Seeing Sun Xiangfu's businesslike appearance, Sun Dali straightened his face and prepared to answer.

And Kong Yingda didn't continue to complain, and waited to see how Sun Xiangfu judged. He didn't think that Sun Xiangfu would help him get justice. Of course, he didn't have anything to get wrong, because he provoked the matter.

"I would like to inform the imperial envoy that our county is holding a Spring Festival garden party in the school playground according to the custom of previous years, but after Kong Jijiu arrived at the scene, he led someone to overturn our show booth and hurt the display in front of the booth. The children who performed also threatened that our county school misunderstood the children, and that our county school would be shut down and Yu Jiaoyu's position removed. The people were so angry that they threw some debris, hurting Kong Jijiu and others. A few people brought over."

After listening to Sun Dali's speech, Sun Xiangfu turned to Kong Yingda and said, "Kong Jijiu, is this the case?"

At this time, Kong Yingda, who felt less pain in her eye sockets, had already straightened her waist and said, "That's right, it was the old man who led someone to smash up those children's exhibition booths, but the old man's original intention was not to hurt those children, but to accidentally injure them.

Moreover, there is a reason for what the old man did, because what these children preached was fallacies and heresies to fool the people. As the son of the Imperial College, the old man should stop it, argue with the people, and cause confrontation. It is also because the old man wants to arrest the culprit of this matter The culprit, Yu Zhen, the instructor of Jiuyuan County School, handed him over to the court for questioning. "

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "Then, here comes the problem. First of all, let alone the truth of what these children are preaching, whether it is fallacious or not, if you want to stop them from preaching, you need to use the method of smashing the booth, resulting in the appearance of children." Are you injured?"

When Kong Yingda saw Sun Xiangfu's smile, he felt a little bad in his heart, and then said, "This matter, the old man has already made it clear, it was just an accidental injury."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu said with a slightly cold expression, "Accidental injury is also an injury. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, what should be done if you accidentally injure someone else? You don't need me to tell you!"

The current situation is that they hurt people first, and it is their fault to say that they are going to break the sky. An old scholar like Kong Yingda naturally knows the laws of the Tang Dynasty. He swallowed and said, "This old man will hurt you later Or some compensation, reached an understanding."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu put away his slightly cold expression and said, "Well, we can temporarily solve this incident of accidental injury. Next, I will ask Kong Jijiu. You can always hold it Court Festival Talisman?"

Kong Yingda was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly thought of something very bad, and replied with some embarrassment, "This, no."

Sun Xiangfu continued to ask, "Then do you have an official position in the Ministry of Punishment, or, among the people you brought over, there may be officials from the Ministry of Punishment who hold the arrest warrant of the Ministry of Punishment."

Kong Yingda shook her head and said, "No."

Sun Xiangfu said with a strange expression, "Since you are not an envoy of the imperial court, and secondly, you are not an official of the Ministry of Punishment, and you do not hold the arrest warrant amulet held by the Ministry of Punishment.

I would like to ask you, who gave you the power to privately seize the teaching order of the sixth-rank official in Jiuyuan County, and dismiss him for punishment. Apart from His Majesty's imperial approval, who has the power to dismiss a sixth-rank official for punishment? "

Even the imperial envoys who hold the festival talisman, or the highest-ranking chief of the local officials, the state road chief, usually only have the power to dismiss and investigate officials of the seventh rank. Above the seventh rank to the fifth rank, there can only be suspension at most. After Jiangling City was upgraded to a capital-level city, Li Shimin upgraded Jiuyuan County, which is close to Jiangling City, to Jing County. Like the county magistrates in Chang'an and Luoyang, the overall rank has been raised a few levels.

The county magistrate Sun Dali is at the top of the fifth rank, and the county school education instruction is at the top of the sixth rank. Kong Yingda wants to deal directly with the officials of the sixth rank. If it is a crime, the crime is not small, after all, he does not even have an administrative position now.

However, simply, he didn't really catch Yu Zhen and dismiss him for investigation, so of course he wanted to make an excuse.

"Master Sun, the old man just got angry for a while because of the reason, and wanted to do it, but he didn't make it. This shouldn't be a big mistake!"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, even if it is done, can I still treat you as an old man in his 60s? I just want to tell you that what you did is wrong and violates my law of the Tang Dynasty Yes, just don’t do it again in the future.”

Hearing what Sun Xiangfu said, Kong Yingda's slumped face just now became more complex. The reason why he dared to smash the stall here was because he was sure that even if there were any problems, the court would not do anything to him. Sun Zhengming Although domineering, he still knows how to respect the elderly.

However, before Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, he pointed to the teaching doctors behind Kong Yingda and the students of the Imperial College and said, "However, if you don't count, Kong Jijiu is old, his thinking is unclear, and he doesn't understand things clearly. Don't pursue it, but you are just young, but you are also ignorant, fueling the flames, creating a bad situation of confrontation between the government and the people. These stalls, Kong Jijiu is old, I am afraid they cannot be smashed, it must be your hands, so , your fault is not small, later, all of you will go to Jiangling Prefecture Road Yamen to plead guilty, and wait for the punishment of the chief grandson."

Hearing what Sun Xiangfu said, those who followed Kong Yingda panicked and looked at Kong Yingda one after another.

"The law does not blame the public. As long as what you do makes sense, don't be afraid." Kong Yingda reassured everyone, and was about to argue with Sun Xiangfu again.

As for Sun Xiangfu, the reason why he lightly exposed the previous matter was to wait for him to come to the theory.
