The next morning at the court meeting in Taiji Palace, as expected, the imperial censors and officials were vying for the first place, and the crowd was furious. They all accused the clan and the noble sons of ignoring the laws of the country and acting arbitrarily. In the long run, lawless people will be born, and they will be unfaithful and unfilial.
Ministers, the foundation of the empire has been shaken and collapsed. We must severely punish them to serve as a warning to others. We must ruthlessly kill these evil spirits and purge the clan and the ranks of nobles.
The censor is a noble position. He is not afraid of power and does not collect money. Even when facing first-class officials, a super-class prince can still speak out and speak uprightly. He can still remonstrate directly in front of the emperor. He is considered a clean figure among civil servants. But no one would think that.
To be a censor for a lifetime, as long as you make meritorious deeds, you can use it as a springboard to step out of the censorship and become a pragmatic official. Three provinces, six ministries, and state capitals all over the world are often promoted beyond the level. From the sixth rank to the censor
You can become the governor of Xiazhou and Sima of Shangzhou under the sixth rank, or even become the county magistrate of Jingzhao, Taiyuan, and Henan Prefecture at the sixth rank, with a bright future and unlimited official career.
Step by step, these are the rules of officialdom. However, the clan and nobles are the destroyers of the rules. These extravagant and extravagant dudes who rely on the merits of their fathers and ancestors ignore all the rules and can rise to the top of the imperial court just by being favored in front of the emperor.
Pass, one step beyond the path that ordinary civil servants have traveled for more than ten or even decades.
Therefore, in the eyes of civil servants, the clan and nobles are equated with "fake ministers" and "lucky ministers". They break the rules, trample on the rules, and exceed the rules. They must always keep an eye on the targets who will be severely punished if they are found to have made mistakes.
Now these clans and dandies dare to attack the Jingzhao Mansion, which has the most territorial borders in the world. How can this happen?
If they cannot be severely punished, will the censors become local officials in the future and have to bear the impact of these "lawless elements" all the time?
…
Faced with the offensive of the censors and officials, who were supported by the civil servants, everyone was shouting and beating, and those who were willing to intercede for the clans and noble children were also silent, keeping their mouths shut, and stood in the palace without daring to say a word.
Anyone who dares to stand up will be "attacked" by the imperial censor. Looking at the court, except for a few people, no one can resist this tidal offensive, so we can only watch His Majesty promulgate the decree.
, ordered Zongzheng Temple and the Sanfa Division to jointly try the two cases of "Attack on Jingzhao Mansion" and "Li Jingshu's Violent Death".
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the four highest law enforcement agencies of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shenfu, the prince of the clan and county who did not go to the palace, participated in the entire case trial as the "Emperor's Special Envoy" and supervised from the side... Everyone in the palace was involved in conspiracy and conspiracy.
Those who came over the thorny road and heard the elegant meaning of the song knew that this was a warning given by His Majesty to Li Shenfu. After all, everyone knew that Li Shenfu was definitely behind the whole incident. It seems that His Majesty's patience has reached its peak.
No matter how generous he is, he can't stand his clan members stabbing him in the back. In this way, Li Shenfu draws a clear line between himself and those clans and nobles who participated in the attack on Jingzhao Mansion.
, in order to dispel Li Shenfu’s prestige within the clan.
The ancestor of the clan was having a hard time... After the court meeting dispersed, Fang Jun took two quick steps to walk side by side with Dai Zhou and whispered a few words. Dai Zhou kept frowning slightly at his feet and replied in a low voice: "
Isn’t it obvious that Erlang asked me to bend the law for personal gain? Besides, this case is not my fault.
People make the decision. Even if the three judicial divisions jointly try the case, I can't do it even if I want to do it." "Where is the favoritism? That kid is just a fool. He rushes forward as soon as he is deceived by others. He is extremely stupid and has mediocre abilities. He is neither
The first offender is not a serious offender, and furthermore, you are not allowed to let him go. According to the minimum
That’s the first level of punishment.”
"I'll figure it out. You're really going to give me problems."
"There is no other way. The Prince of Hejian County has spoken. My nephew really can't shirk it, and there is nothing he can do. I can only trouble you, old man."
"Hmph, I can't give you any guarantee. I'll do my best."
"Thank you very much, my nephew, I appreciate your kindness." "Stop talking nonsense, please hurry up and take a few steps. I don't know how many people are staring at us? Just spread the word in private about this kind of thing. It has to be.
Come together in public, is it possible that you dislike those censors and officials who have not been around recently?
Have you been impeached?"
"Am I afraid of them? They should be afraid of me!"
"You're not afraid of me! Let's go quickly..."
"It's true that the longer the officialdom, the less courageous you are. How can you, who is so iron-clad and have a breeze in your sleeves, be afraid of those censors who bark and bite? It's not like you have been caught for any corruption, dereliction of duty or even disorderly conduct.
Bar?"
"That's nonsense, get out of here!"
…… Liu Xiangdao, the imperial censor, is an insufferable person who only listens to His Majesty’s words. He handles all other business affairs in an impartial and impartial manner. Han Yuan, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is an old friend of him. However, the two sides have different camps and have different interests in recent years.
At the same time, they had already drifted apart, and King Li Yuanjia of Han had already made up his mind not to be too involved in this case... So when Li Xiaogong entrusted him to take care of Li Chongxu, he could only entrust Dai Zhou.
Fortunately, although Dai Zhou is fair, he is very humane. Although he will not trample on the rules, he will always make things convenient for others within the rules. He is a good person. His nephew Dai Zhide has a good relationship with Fang Jun and can be regarded as a family member.
Very good.
Dai Zhou acted safely, and since he agreed, there is no need for Fang Jun to worry... Returning to the commander's tent outside Mingde Gate, he handed over all the generals under his command and warned him not to be arrested and imprisoned because of the clan and nobles' dandy sons.
Because of his negligence, Li Shenfu was forced by His Majesty to "supervise" the trial of the case.
, this is a move that extremely consumes his prestige, and the prestige that Li Shenfu has been managing for most of his life has long been regarded as his lifeblood. If this old thief takes risks, the situation will suddenly change, and he has to be on guard. The moment has already begun outside Mingde Gate.
, Fang Jun, who was very hungry, asked someone to cook a bowl of noodle soup and ate it with pickles, vinegar and celery. He rinsed his mouth. Cen Changqian had already boiled tea and made a cup and put it on the table. Fang Jun picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Suddenly something came to mind: "Where is Zhang Liang?" General Cheng Wuting of the Left Jinwu Guard was stationed outside Xuanwu Gate to defend the area from Xuanwu Gate to the Weishui River. Fang Jun was afraid that Zhang Liang would stir up trouble in the Right Jinwu Guard, so he personally controlled the Right Jinwu Guard.
He led his troops to guard outside Mingde Gate.
How come Zhang Liang, the general of Jinwu Guard on your right, has never shown up? Cen Changqian poured herself a cup of tea, sat under Fang Jun, and smiled when she heard this: "The climate in Chang'an is hot, and it is even worse when there is no wind at night.
It's like a steamer. Duke Yue kicked off the quilt while sleeping and accidentally caught the cold and is bedridden.
I sent someone early to tell you that I wanted to take a rest for a few days, and that all military affairs would be handled by you, the commander-in-chief, and he agreed to do so."
"Oh, you can stay out of trouble by pretending to be ill. This guy is really clever." Fang Jun chuckled and said disdainfully: "It stands to reason that Duke Yu has some talents, and he is especially good at water battles.
, otherwise Emperor Taizong would not have entrusted him with important tasks, but he was narrow-minded, short-sighted and had an inconsistent stance.
He is firm and wavering. This kind of duplicitous person is the most annoying in the officialdom. If he had not relied on his merits in the past, he would have been cast aside." "Although he has not been cast aside now, everyone in the Youjinwu Guards is treating him.
He lacks awe, has a title but can't command anyone. The funniest thing is that he resigned from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and was succeeded by Han Yuan. He couldn't go back to the Ministry of Punishment even if he wanted to.
, I regret it so much."
"Hmph, I am eating the food in the bowl and thinking about the food in the pot. I am so ambitious and greedy. Who can I blame for this?"
The reason why Zhang Liang fell into the current dilemma and was frustrated was because he coveted the military power of Youjin Wuwei. But didn't he think about how someone else would allow him to get involved in the troops he built and pulled together?
If you do something wrong, you will die. Looking at the sky, Fang Jun ordered: "Send someone to the imperial hospital to find two imperial doctors to diagnose and treat Duke Yu. Just treat him as if he is really sick. If it is a minor illness or not, tell him."
Report here before the deadline, late or not
To, military law."
If you want to pick peaches, just rush in; if you don’t want to get into trouble, just hide?
Want to be beautiful!
Cen Changqian laughed: "Here!" He felt that Fang Jun's move was a bit excessive. After all, Zhang Liang is one of the few Zhenguan ministers who are still active in the officialdom. Such veteran ministers who conquer the world need to be dignified. But he wants to
Constantly attacking Zhang Liang's prestige,
This is the best way to erode his confidence and completely lose his ambition to control Youjin Wuwei. In the officialdom, he will do anything to attack his political opponents. How can he be gentle, respectful and thrifty?
Wang Xuance's challenge and suppression of Zhang Liang were almost fatal to Zhang Liang.
Fang Jun called Wei Ying, the leader of the personal soldiers, over again: "Go sit in Jingzhao Mansion and investigate the progress of the case and report back if you have any news."
"Here."
Wei Ying and his two companions galloped around more than half of Chang'an City, entering the city from Jinguang Gate and arriving at Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. Because during the grand gathering held by the Buddhist and Taoist sects, Chang'an City was crowded with pedestrians and traffic.
The city is not as noisy as before. All the merchants have stopped as much as possible. They walk close to the wall and even speak very quietly. The movement in Jingzhao Mansion last night scared them. Businessmen are the most sensitive to political trends.
After all, in this era of imperfect legal system, a decree can bankrupt them. How can we not do it from time to time?
Pay attention and analyze?
As long as those who are rich and live a long time, they all grasp and adapt to the political situation... As an accessory of political struggle, a power struggle between different classes will cause countless businessmen to either make a lot of money or go bankrupt.
As the lowest level of the Tang Dynasty business community, Hu Shang was afraid of this.
They would rather not rely on strong assistance to get rich than become victims of power struggles for no reason. Once the power class of the Tang Dynasty experienced turmoil and the situation became turbulent, the Hu businessmen began to move as far as they could.
