Chapter 897: Autopsy

The palace servant Shi Su Yuanzhen impeached Cai Zhizheng for being unright, pretentious, and bullying the king.

The purpose of the whole trial process is not to correct the problems existing in the law, but to crack down on dissidents!

Now that the matter has been settled, and the person who asked for it has been punished, I ask you:

First, was Cai Qu's interrogation flawed?

Several suspicious points in this case have not been clarified: Why did Gao Zai, an official of Sinong Temple, let this person go lightly and did not interrogate him in detail?

Judging from the testimony of all walks of life, Dali Temple did not accept bribes, but only asked each other verbally, which is certainly guilty, but is the punishment too heavy?

Second, is the verdict in this case wrong? There is another method of analysis, according to which the various charges in this case are distinguished and ruled separately, can it be considered that the verdict in this case was not seriously wrong from the beginning?

Third, if the judgment of this case is not at fault, then does the "subject" of this large number of requests naturally not exist?

So Cai did implicate so many people and cause such a big case, the matter involved two prime ministers and their sons, and more than a dozen people chased officials to seize their posts, is it considered that the implication is too wide, the climbing is too harsh, and the impact is too great?

Did some officials, such as Han Zhongyan, who correctly sentenced him, be wronged because of this?

Is this the reversal of the priority of the Yushitai, the severity of which is not distinguished, and the blow is excessive?

So may I ask, should the relevant personnel of the Imperial Historical Observatory be punished?!

The parties who were punished in this case, without exception, were all old parties, and Zhou Qing and Cai Qu, who created this big case, were all new factions who changed the law.

Is this trial really fair? Is there really no sense of partisanship mixed in? The government and the opposition in the world, can you really be convinced of this verdict?!

Please excuse me, it is a mistake, but if you use the latter mistake to correct the previous mistake, isn't the latter mistake a mistake?

The song was directly left by Zhao Ji, and only a small range of people knew about it, which was regarded as pressing this matter.

What are you kidding, the official position of the Great Song Dynasty is a radish and a pit, and one person has multiple positions, but that is just to make a fortune and discuss the order of Beijing.

Therefore, Su Yuanzhen, the imperial history in the palace, is just a fictitious title, which can only be used as a symbol of the status of the court official, rather than really having the right to advise.

Su Yuanzhen wants to take advantage of this loophole, of course she can't.

Although the chapter was left in the middle, but on the screen of the inner hall, Zhao Ji still deliberately wrote the three words "Su Yuanzhen", and after two days, the word "Gu Geng" was added to the back.

And Cai Cheng still repeatedly led the official to the right and asked for a heavy punishment of Wu Anzhi, but Zhao Wei vetoed it: "The children ask for help for their own acquaintances, and they have to respond to it, this is also a common thing, what a deep crime!" ”

Cai was still insisting, and finally Zhao Ji was annoyed: "But the Qing generation wants to attack Wu Chong together, what does this mean?" ”

directly sealed Cai Qu's chapter, and issued an edict: In the future, when similar cases are encountered, the analysis method is used to separate and refine complex crimes into single crimes, and then measure the severity of each crime perpetrator in each crime, and finally punish several crimes.

This is a beating on the Goshidai.

Life is like a drama, it's all acting. In order to show that he was humble and acceptable, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was really very tolerant of the officials.

But when you dance, can you dance a little bit artistically instead of jumping too much?

In the end, I have to cover it up for you?!

"He who speaks."

However, a big case was closed, and another bigger case broke out.

In Kaifeng in June, the sun was shining, the heat was blowing, and everyone was sweating like rain.

Su Song was handling government affairs in the lobby, when he heard the manager join the army and hurriedly reported: "Dr. Guozi Chen Shiru is a servant girl, and he reported the disobedience of Chen's wife Li." ”

Su Song raised his head: "Is it swearing or beating?" ”

The manager of the army reported in horror: "Yes...... Poison. ”

Su Song was taken aback: "Human ethics are evil? Quickly show me the pleadings and the transcript of the trial. ”

The manager joined the army and sent the file: "Da Yin, it's all here." ”

Su Song opened the file and only glanced at it: "Immediately send a fire pick, take someone!" ”

The case is not ordinarily serious, and it involves a prime minister.

Chen Shiru is the only son of former Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong and his concubine Zhang!

After Chen Zhizhong's death, the family house was restless, and even alarmed Zhao Ji, who specially ordered Zhang to enter the monastery as a nun.

When Chen Shiru grew up, he took the Zhang family home from the monastery to raise him, and according to common sense, Chen Shiru should try his best to serve his biological mother.

But Chen Shiru and his wife Li have been separated since childhood, have no feelings, and are not filial, and welcoming Zhang's home is just a façade.

A few years ago, Chen Shiru was sent to the magistrate of Taihu County, Shuzhou, and because he was unwilling to be an official in other places, he planned to return to Beijing.

The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are natural enemies, Chen Shiru's wife Li stayed in Beijing, often quarreled with her mother-in-law, so she held a grudge, and said to the maids many times: "Once the doctor is mourned, I will definitely reward you." ”

Soon after, Zhang died inexplicably, and Chen Shiru successfully returned to Beijing Kaifeng due to his mother's funeral.

A slave maid of the Chen family fled to the government and exposed Chen Shiru and his wife Li for the murder of his biological mother.

Kaifeng Mansion immediately locked up all the Chen family members and interrogated them separately.

The confession was quickly collected, and Chen's wife, Li, admitted that although she resented her mother and cursed from time to time, she did not explicitly use poison. He has never personally harmed him.

The slaves and maids confessed that they wanted the reward of the master's mother to poison Chen's mother, but they did not inform the master's mother in advance, but they did it in private, and they did not die at that time.

And Chen Shiru insisted that this matter was false, and his mother died of a heart disease, which was a slave who disobeyed the master's family and maliciously made false accusations.

The case was serious, and Su Song entered the palace to ask Zhao Ji to see him and asked for an autopsy.

Su Song is a well-known filial son in the world, because he refused to be appointed by Li Ding, when he was demoted to Zhejiang by Zhao Ji, he encountered a strong wind when crossing the river, and the ship was about to capsize.

Everyone on the boat jumped into the water to escape, but Su Song couldn't bear to leave his mother in the cabin, threw all his luggage into the river to reduce the weight of the boat, hugged his mother and cried bitterly, and decided to live and die with his mother.

Then, a paranormal event occurred, and the strong wind blew the boat to the other shore and ran aground, and the mother and child were safe.

Everyone said that this was Su Song's filial piety that touched the river god and sang praises greatly.

Therefore, Zhao Ji was relieved of Su Song, and also believed that he hated this kind of human evil, and immediately summoned him.

When he saw Su Song, Zhao Ji's face was still very angry, there was a big case of his son murdering his mother in China, and it happened in the family of a scholar, which made Zhao Ji feel shameless.

Speaking of which, this is that I can't be moralized, and it's almost as serious as the solar eclipse.

Seeing Su Song, Zhao Ji's first words were: "Such a great evil must be severely punished!" ”

Su Song arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it is too early to decide the case, before many doubts are implemented, not to mention Chen Shiru, even the Li family is only suspected of committing a crime." ”

"Now we must first determine the cause of Chen's mother's death, whether she died of illness as Chen Shiru said."

"The most direct evidence must be on Chen's mother, so please open the coffin."

Zhao Ji was extremely annoyed: "Mother Chen couldn't stay in the Chen family back then, and after Chen Xianggong passed away, it was still the back road arranged by me, so I escaped the bullying of my wife." ”

"How can it be regarded as a well-dressed family, how can such a thing happen? Once the coffin is opened, do you want the dignity of the minister's order?! ”

Although she is not the wife of Yuan, Chen's mother still has a low-level order for the people, and now she is going to be opened, so Zhao Ji is not angry.

Su Song arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the dignity of the minister's decree is more important than the Weilong of the national law, and the minister thinks that it is more important for the national law to be maintained." ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand depressedly: "Then go check and open the coffin...... Let's open the coffin, but afterwards, don't let go of a disobedient person! ”

On a hillside in the north of the city, in the ancestral cemetery of the Chen family, the manager joined the army and looked at the cemetery of pine and cypress Qingqing, and the tomb of Chen Zhizhong, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, was among them, and he couldn't help sighing: "A family...... It's gone. ”

Chen Zhizhong actually has no ability, he was able to ascend to the throne mainly because he was attached to Zhang Guifei during the Renzong Dynasty, and he was also a former Xuanhe.

However, in the battle for the harem of the Renzong Dynasty, in the end, the Empress Dowager Cao became the winner, and then, the Chen family declined.

However, Chen Zhizhong also has a little benefit, that is, he never deceived the emperor, and with this, he left enough honor behind him.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, if it weren't for this incident, the Chen family would not have been defeated so quickly with the accumulation of Chen Zhizhong's era.

Su Song frowned: "Don't talk about this, open the coffin." ”

When he opened the tomb, the manager frowned when he joined the army: "Chen Shiru should die, this is his mother!" ”

The tomb is only a thin plate coffin, and it is a grass burial, that is, there is no burial chamber.

Even ordinary people in Bianjing City would not use such thin coffins and funeral rites.

The Song Dynasty doctor's house admired thin burials, which only referred to the burial utensils, such as the coffin brick room and the Yongdao altar, at least there should be something.

Su Song waved his hand, and he took the two dukes forward to open the coffin.

The corpse was already highly decomposed, and he was wearing a mask wrapped in herbs and spices, first observing the entire corpse, and then probing the corpse's throat and stomach with a silver needle.

Soon, the manager joined the army and quickly presented the corpse grid filled in: "Da Yin, it seems that the slave confessed to the truth, Chen's mother did take arsenic and entered the abdomen from the throat, but the poison was obviously not enough, it may be caused by dispensing, Chen's mother was not poisoned and died." ”
