Chapter 038: Cai Jing's thoughts

Liang Shijie smiled faintly and said: "Li Dujian and Wen Dujian, do you two know why I didn't discuss this matter with Confucius and Tuiguan, but I only consulted with you and the generals of the forbidden army?" Bandits in Hebei and Shandong are frequent, and the expropriation and suppression in various places are unfavorable, and even the common people have a lot of complaints about the government. What is the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun"? It is precisely because of the stupidity of the nine-headed insect that others have spread their grievances to the government!

And since Xiao Tang is now very well-known among the people, selling a favor to him and letting him be used by me will not only have a lot of benefits in the future, but also the official will sentence at that time: 'Nian Xiao Tang and Wu Song took action to save the widow of the Su family, although they were framed and accidentally injured people's lives, and Xiao Tang killed Li Shaohua in Changjie to avenge his father. Although his crime should be punished, but his situation is pitiful, so he will be punished lightly', how will they think of the new daimyo's mansion who is going to burn those three fires to stay behind and guard the minister? ”

It is said that now that China is emphasizing the elimination of "law enforcement by human feelings", Xiao Tang's revenge murder can be directly characterized as a crime of intentional homicide, or whether the nature of the act in a public place is extremely heinous. However, in the Song Dynasty, the Confucian society not only reflected the qualities of loyalty and filial piety in the judgment of the case, but also the most important or even the only social bond at that time. Therefore, due to the propaganda of etiquette and religion, public opinion will deeply sympathize with family affection, especially revenge murderers involving parents, whether in public or private.

Another example is Peng Xiu in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "The father humiliates the son to death, and Qing does not care about the evil of death?" (Since you insulted my father, then I must play with you, are you afraid of death?) ); During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liang Chaoji said: "If you beg to die on behalf of your father, the prisoner of capital crime should only be gained, how can it be reduced?" (I only want to die for my father, and there should be one more prisoner who has committed a capital crime, and how can I be missing?) ); Even Master Confucius said: "If you live in the enmity of your parents, you can't sleep on your pillow, and you will share the world." When encountering the city, do not fight against the army. (Before the revenge of the parents is avenged, you should sleep on the straw mat and wooden pillow to remind yourself not to forget the hatred, not to enjoy the official pleasure, not to share the sky with the enemy, remember to hold the blade at any time, in case you go out and meet the enemy who killed your parents?) I don't have to go back and get it, I can directly copy the knife and play with my life.... And so on, too many allusions and famous sayings about avenging the shame of one's parents or dying on behalf of one's father have been written in various biographical and historical books, and have been widely sung by Confucian disciples.

On the other hand, in the Tang Dynasty's "Tang Law and Fighting Lawsuits", it was stipulated that "those who slander grandparents and parents are hanged" (as long as you dare to insult your parents and elders, you can be sentenced to death immediately.) Although there were also murderers convicted of the execution of their fathers to avenge their fathers in classic ancient Chinese cases, most of these cases caused fierce indignation and controversy in society at the time.

Liang Shijie is doing this now, and he said: "I have deliberately delayed the outcome of the case these days, in order to see the reaction of the people of the Daimyo Mansion, and now it seems that there should be a result......

Metropolitan Eunuch Li Cheng couldn't help but nod his head again and again, but he suddenly asked: "But since Xiao Tang dared to kill people when he was on the run, and even dared to kill people on the street in broad daylight, he was a willful ranger-like character." This kind of person despises the royal law the most, but he is afraid that he will not know the promotion of the Chinese scholar. ”

Liang Shijie snorted heavily and said, "Since I can teach him to live, I can also teach him to die!" However, these days, when I look at Xiao Tang, I don't seem to be a reckless man who doesn't know the general situation, but Wu Songhun is a reckless temperament, so he can't use such people. However, since he also had a lot to do with Xiao Tang's murder, he was sentenced to a spine cane to be used in the army and sent to a remote military state. As for Xiao Tang... It also depends on the reply from the court, and besides, the role of this person is not limited to this..."

At this time, the cases of Xiao Tang and Wu Song's murders have been sent to Bianliang in Tokyo for review, because all cases of Dabi crime (that is, capital crimes) must be sent to the Criminal Department of the Imperial Court for review before they can be executed, not to mention that this case is also related to the Su family's bloody case, and the emperor also needs to approve it with the imperial pen, indicating that "the situation is heavy and the law is light, and the reason is pitiful.....

Cai Jinggang, the patriarch of the three dynasties who had gone through Song Shenzong, Song Zhezong, and Song Huizong, had just had dinner, and he drooped his eyelids and calmly read the verdict sent to him by Liang Shijie of the Daimyo Mansion, and there was no trace of turmoil on his face.

Cai Jing's eldest son, Cai You, a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, as well as Cai Cheng, a pro-guard lang, and Cai Jun, a secretary, were also in the mansion at this time, and seeing Cai Jing quietly reading the verdict, they looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out what Cai Jing was thinking.

"This is the case of the Su family murder of the Daimyo Mansion sent by Liang Lang's son-in-law, as well as the case of Xiao Tang's murder of Li Shaohua and others, as well as these letters, what do you think?" Cai Jing read the statement and transcript and handed it to Cai You and the others.

Cai You took it respectfully, and after reading it with Cai Yu and Cai Jun, Cai You changed his mind and said to Cai Yu and Cai Jun: "What do you two think?" ”

Cai Jun snorted impatiently: "What else can you think?" My brother-in-law is so unreasonable, and my father is very reasonable. He was sure that such trivial matters were, so why bother his father with them? ”

Cai Cheng secretly glanced at Cai Jing's face with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and said: "That Xiao Tang was framed and murdered, and avenged his father, which attracted the sympathy of the people of the Daimyo Mansion. I see that my brother-in-law's new official has taken office, and he intends to sentence Xiao Tang and Wu Song lightly, which is nothing more than trying to buy people's hearts. At that time, his uncle Liang Zimei also had a lot of means, and his brother-in-law eradicated Li Shaohua and others with one hand, and sentenced Xiao Tang lightly with the other. ”

After hearing Cai Jun and Cai Yi, the corners of Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You's mouth curled imperceptibly, and Cai Jun and Cai Yi also stopped their mouths, because they saw Cai Jing's pair of thin and long eyes, staring at them coldly.

Cai Jing is in the pilgrimage, and at home are completely two faces, although he rarely angrily shouts at his subordinates and descendants, but he is stared at by his pair of eyes, as if his inner thoughts are completely exposed, with Cai Jing who has been fighting for power in the sea for decades, and the power technique has long been perfected, he has his own aura, and he doesn't need to scold him at all, Cai Jun and Cai Yi already know that Cai Jing is very disappointed with their answer, and he is very disdainful.

"Ju An (Cai Youbiao), what do you say?" Cai Jing's treacherous eyes glanced at Cai You again.

Cai You respectfully bowed to Cai Jing and said, "Whether or not to sentence Xiao Tang and Wu Song to death is actually a big deal, they are just two grass people." But since the crimes of these two people started because of Li Shaohua, and Li Shaohua and Zhao Tingzhi have a relationship, the more they point out how pitiful Xiao Tang and Wu Song are, it shows how unofficial Li Shaohua is in the Daimyo's Mansion and disregards the king's law! The more this is praised, the more it is degraded, the source of it, isn't it Zhao Tingzhi's fault?

What did my father mean, but at the same time as the official family approved this situation, he handed over the bribe of Li Shaohua, who supervised the collection of imperial history from the past, to Zhao Tingzhi's son Zhao Mingcheng, as well as himself? The official Shengming, after reading the situation and the song, how can he still be more disgusted with Zhao Tingzhi? ”

Cai Jing nodded, and then said coldly to Cai Jun and Cai Yi: "The battle between the DPRK and China is not a matter of life and death. Beware of what political opponents will do and when to attack the enemy's weakness, if you think poorly, the slightest carelessness will be doomed! How do you think the wind and rain of the past few decades have come through!? Lang Son-in-law and Ju An can break through the truth, so that they can have a foothold in the imperial court, what about you? If it weren't for me, how would you deserve to gain a foothold in officialdom!? ”

Cai Jun and Cai Yi were so disciplined by Cai Jing that they didn't dare to raise their heads, and Cai You even said that it was because of his father's teaching, and Cai Jing's pair of eyes turned around on Cai You, and he thought to himself: First lead out these two unsuccessful ones to make me angry, but compare yourself to be shrewd. This kind of little trick is just in the court, and the family is still playing tricks in front of the old man, hum! You're still too tender! ......

Of course, Xiao Tang didn't know that the paper that decided his life and death was turned around in the hands of Cai Jing, a famous traitor in history, before it was handed over to Song Huizong for imperial approval, and Cai Jing didn't know that the little person on this paper that he could kill with his mouth, but in the future, he would ask him, the number one powerful minister in the Huizong period, to kneel and look up.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji is indeed a complete faint monarch, but he is not a tyrant. In his imperial approval of the bloody case of the Su family of the Daimyo Mansion, sure enough, the crime of more than 40 people in the family who were murdered made him angry, and the sword and pen officials of the Daimyo Mansion instructed by Liang Shijie wrote vividly how Li Shaohua wanted to cover up Mizhang and tried to hunt down the surviving orphan daughter of the Su family, how Xiao Tang Wusong acted righteously, how he was framed by Li Shaohua, and how Li Shaohua persecuted Xiao Tang's father.

What's more, how the nine-headed insect bullied the market, made money and became fat, colluded with bandits, and bribed officials Zhao Ji has also seen it before, seeing that Xiao Tang killed Li Shaohua on the street to avenge his father, Zhao Ji even faintly felt a lot of pain, so he didn't want to think about it, Zhu criticized the decree, and made a large number of "accurate" on Liang Shijie's recital! Words come .......

Xiao Tang, who felt that he was about to be fattened by Cai Fu and Cai Qing brothers in prison, was finally summoned by Liang Shijie again. And this time it was not a promotion to the court, Xiao Tang was invited out of prison by a small official and met with Liang Shijie in private.

Xiao Tang was led by the little official to a mansion, passed the triple gate, turned the corner to the front of the hall, and after the little official summoned him, he called Xiao Tang in.

After Xiao Tang walked in, he saw Liang Shijie wearing a cyan wide-sleeved Yanju regular suit, looking at himself with his hands behind his back. This is the first time Xiao Tang and Liang Shijie have met under the public court, and it is also the first time that the two have met alone.

In his previous life, because of the needs of work, Xiao Tang could see a lot of leaders above on some occasions, and some leaders had big bellies, opening their mouths and closing their mouths to talk about what principles, policies, plans and regulations, but they never fell to the point. Others may not look amazing, but there is a very peculiar aura in their speech and demeanor, which makes people think that they are very shrewd and capable, and they will be guided by their words unconsciously.

And Liang Shijie is the latter kind of person.

Xiao Tang bowed, bowed down and said, "Xiao Tang, a grass man, has seen Lord Zhongshu." ”

Liang Shijie looked at Xiao Tang quietly, but suddenly he said, "Xiao Tang, are you guilty?" ”
