"Where, Ji Shizhong's words are wrong!" The palace serves the imperial history, Cui Geng's cheap brother, and the old love of Princess Taiping~ Cui Ye is the first to go out.
He said: "Duan Qian said that it was instructed by Shi Chongxuan, is it Shi Chongxuan's instructions?" Do you know that someone instructed him to do this, taking the opportunity to frame the Lord of History and even Princess Taiping? If Shi Daochang is imprisoned like this, it will be the biggest injustice of the imperial court! โ
Ji Chuqu sneered: "Oh? Is it? But this servant didn't say that Shi Chongxuan was a sinner, but just asked for a little investigation. What are you in a hurry? Could it be...... Is it a thief? โ
"Hmph, under Miki, what mouth can't be in supply? is in such a hurry to interrogate the master of Shi Guan, I think it is your discipline service center who is hypocritical. โ
โฆโฆ
The two argued endlessly, from the possibility of Shi Chongxuan being wronged, to which department should be tried in this lawsuit, and even the specific person in charge, there was no conclusion for a while.
Soon, other debaters joined the band, and the scene was chaotic.
Of course, people tacitly didn't mention Cui Geng.
Without it, according to reason, Cui Geng should be in Zhongshou City now, not here. As soon as Cui Geng is mentioned, it will involve his conviction, and it will not be clear.
In the end, Li Xian looked at it as a matter of fact, and said in a deep voice: "Don't make any noise!" After all, isn't it who interrogates Shi Chongxuan? According to my opinion, then catch lots, resign yourself to fate, and Tong Suo is not bullied. โ
"I ......" The ministers were a little confused.
Grandma's, since the last time I let Cui Geng and Zong Chuke get married and settle the big case, this majesty has grown more and more!
Lottery? It's a shame he figured it out.
However, if people think about it carefully, drawing lots is already the least bad result, and it is not unacceptable.
People looked at each other, not knowing whether to agree without restraint, or to show their loyalty and oppose desperately.
At this critical moment, a very abrupt voice suddenly remembered, "Your Majesty Shengming!" โ
Who? Who is so shameless?
People follow the prestige, and it is Cui Geng and Cui Erlang, who everyone deliberately ignored just now, and is extremely low-key.
I only heard Cui Geng continue: "It's a good idea to draw lots when you encounter something difficult to decide, speaking of which, it's really the same as what heroes see!" โ
If someone else says this, it is suspected of bullying the king. You and the emperor "see the same thing as the hero", what do you want to do?
But Cui Geng, as Li Xian's son-in-law, is not unable to say so. The reason is very simple, if Li Xian hadn't "seen the same thing as a hero" with him, would he have allowed his daughter to him?
Li Xian said: "Oh? Why did Jiro say that? โ
"It's not a secret, when Weichen was in the surrender city that day, Princess Taiping suddenly fell seriously ill and wanted to go back to Chang'an for treatment. Weichen was in a hurry at the time, should he accompany the princess back to Beijing immediately and take care of her all the way along the way? Or do you ask Your Majesty for a decree first, and then make a decision? immediately accompanied the princess back to Beijing, which was inconsistent with the imperial court system. I asked His Majesty for advice, but it was too late in time. Wei Chen thought about it and thought that there was no good way, and finally decided to draw lots and hand it over to God to decide. โ
Dare is waiting for me here!
Li Xian understood in an instant, and said, "So, Erlang, your return to Beijing this time is an instruction from God?" Then the future border marshal will take this as an example, what should I do if I plot against him? โ
Cui Geng said: "This is also simple, if the commander over there can escort the princess of Zhenguo back to Beijing without bringing the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, Your Majesty will not be held accountable." Otherwise, it will be punished as treason. โ
Princesses are common, but it's too difficult to have the word "Zhenguo". If there was no Shenlong coup, Princess Taiping would never have had this title.
Cui Geng: This is really a feasible strategy.
The most important thing is that Li Xian doesn't want to bother with Cui Geng about this matter. The reason why he asked this just now was just to give an explanation to the ministers.
Li Xiandao: "Okay, according to what Cui Aiqing said, I will forgive you for your innocence." But ......"
"How?"
"According to your relationship with Princess Taiping, I will not hand over this case to you."
If Cui Geng asks to preside over the case, with his prestige, no one can really compete with him. Li Xian wanted Princess Taiping to marry Tubo, of course, he had to take a preventive shot first.
To his surprise, Cui Geng's face showed no disappointment, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the proper meaning of the question!" However, can Wechen say a few words about this presiding judge? โ
Ji Chuqu said anxiously: "Of course not!" You Cui Geng recommended candidates, do you know that you will not cheat for Princess Taiping? It's still His Majesty's proposal, let's draw lots on the spot! โ
Cui Geng ignored him, but said to Li Xian: "Even if the candidate is selected by lot." Under Miki, what confession do you want? It's about His Majesty's sister, I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public! โ
"Huh?"
Li Xian's face sank slightly, and he said, "Could it be that Cui Aiqing means that Ming Chongyan is not allowed to be punished?" โ
"No, it is a punishment that cannot be moved." Cui Geng knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen is not talented, and he has studied a little in the way of torture." I am willing to dedicate two kinds of torture to the imperial court. This technique is so powerful that it will surely make the prisoner speak the truth, and he will not have to be confined to any presiding judge. I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order that this case will be tried here, and both the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can be a witness. โ
"Huh?"
This statement is fresh, and Li Xian is the chief judge.
Ji Zhana objected: "How can this be reasonable? Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can you have time to try the case in person? Besides, don't use the court's formal punishment, but use your Cui Erlang's non-punishment, begging is Mingjun's doing? โ
"That's not the case!"
Cui Geng stretched out two fingers and said, "First, this matter is related to Princess Taiping. May I ask Ji Shizhong, if there is any major event today, which is more important than His Majesty's sister? โ
"I ......" pay attention to governing the country with virtue, and whether the emperor is filial piety or not involves the foundation of the country. Thinking about it carefully, there is really nothing more important than Princess Taiping now, Ji Chu was speechless for a while.
Cui Geng continued: "The main punishment of my Datang's torture is nothing more than flogging and fighting. These two punishments are not only mediocre in effect, but also mutilate the limbs. The punishment of this official is that it can be done without harming people's limbs at all. Your Majesty uses such punishments to interrogate, not Mingjun, who else is Mingjun? โ
Wow~~
As soon as Cui Geng's words came out, it was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and all the courtiers talked about it.
"And what's going on? If you don't mutilate people's limbs, let people confess? โ
"What others can't do, Cui Xiang may not be able to do. Don't forget, we had a Xu Wuzhu before Datang! โ
"Xu Wuzhuan is experienced in interrogation, but Cui Xiang is now trying to win by torture, it's completely different, okay?"
"Perhaps, what kind of Shinto witchcraft do people use?"
"Pull it down, even if he really knows what Shinto witchcraft, can he still let His Majesty learn it in an instant?"
โฆโฆ
Even Li Xian was very interested in this.
Don't look at his favor after Wei, and make the court a miasma. But people have always been strict with others and lenient with themselves. In his self-feeling, he never felt that he was a faint king.
Now that his time is running out, he also wants to pursue his next posthumous name. If we can really get this case heard clearly without the punishment being carried out, then officials can use this as an example in the future. Presumably, because of this initiative, he can leave a strong mark in history.
As for what to do if it is proved that Princess Taiping is wronged after the case is cleared? This time, there will be no next time, anyway, the Tibetan envoy will not leave for a while.
Thinking of this, Li Xian said: "Erlang, do you really have a way to punish without mutilating your limbs?" โ
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can mention a few stubborn people in the prison of the Criminal Department to try it first."
"As it should be."
