Huan Yanfan knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen is willing to admit the crime of insulting the queen's reputation, willing to admit the crime of deliberate homicide, and willing to surrender to the law!" โ€

"You ......" Li Xian's straight forehead was bruised, and he said, "You want to carry all the blame?" Is this a fool of me? โ€

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

"Don't dare? I see you're bold! Come! โ€

The warriors in front of the hall agreed in unison, "Here!" โ€

"Drag these thirty-three sinners out and cut them down together!"

"Your Majesty, you can't!" Dali Cheng Li Chaoyin hurriedly stopped: "Zhang Cambodia and others have not been interrogated in detail by Yousi, and they cannot be dealt with in accordance with the law. If you kill someone today with non-punishment, you will be covered in history in the future, and I am afraid that you will leave a reputation for eternity! โ€

"This ......" Li Xian was nervous, and he had to worry about his reputation in the history books, so he immediately hesitated.

Pei Tan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, saw the bargain and interjected: "Killing people with special purpose is the right of a human monarch. Even if there is no trial, there is nothing wrong with it! โ€

Li Chaoyin sneered: "Yes, a monarch has the right to kill people with special purposes. But...... Pei Weipo, you are full of poetry and books, please tell me now, I have been in the Tang Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, which emperor has killed people? Could it be that this title should start with Your Majesty? โ€

Pei Tan stomped his foot violently and said, "Even if you start with Your Majesty, you can't talk about any infamy through the ages!" โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The two are arguing and fighting. Of course, black and white can't be true, fake can't be true, Pei Tan can't say that Li Dan is right to do that, the difference between the two is probably that after Li Xian did this, the degree of criticism is regarded as the king of the Sui Dynasty, or the Emperor Yang of Sui.

Emperor Yang of Sui Li Xian didn't want to do it, but Huan Yanfan's actions today were too insulting to his IQ, so he went along with him, he really couldn't swallow this breath.

What to do?

Li Xian looked around, his eyes fell on Cui Geng's body, and said, "Erlang, what do you think?" โ€

Cui Geng was impassioned and said: "As the saying goes, the king tells the minister to die, and the minister has to die, and not to die is disloyal." The Father told the Son to die, and the Son had to die, and not dying is for the sake of unfilial piety! There is nothing wrong with His Majesty's intention to kill someone! โ€

"Cui Geng, you traitor, you are trapping Your Majesty in injustice!"

"What is the saying? How can there be such a saying, why haven't I heard it? โ€

"Human-faced beast-hearted, mad, surnamed Cui, I misread you, from today onwards, let's cut off our robes and break our righteousness!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as Cui Geng's words came out, he immediately ushered in a bitter scolding from the courtiers.

Li Xian was both very happy and a little puzzled.

Happily, someone finally found a theoretical basis for killing people for their own non-punishment. Puzzled

Li Xian asked: "The king called the minister to die, and the minister had to die, and not to die is disloyal." The Father tells the Son to die, and the Son has to die, and not to die is for the sake of unfilial piety. It sounds like a nose and an eye, but is there really such a thing? Where is it found? โ€

Now, of course, there is no such sentence.

In fact, don't talk about the Tang Dynasty, even the Song Dynasty where Cheng Zhu Lixue arose, there was no such shameless words, and it was only in the Ming and Qing dynasties that this sentence was invented by a group of rotten Confucians.

Cui Geng said firmly: "Weichen dares to think about his life, there is indeed this sentence. But ......"

"How?"

"Weichen wants to remind Your Majesty, you are making a book to kill people, and you have to mention the sins of Zhang Cambodia and others, right?"

"That's nature."

Cui Geng said with a smile: "Now the question is, what crime are you going to say they have committed?" โ€

"Of course, it is an attempt to rebel and slander...... Uh......"

Speaking of which, Li Xian suddenly stumbled, without it, he remembered that these two charges were not so easy to use.

First of all, the intention to rebel and frame the queen are basically mutually exclusive.

The reason is very simple, if Zhang Cambodia and others really intended to rebel, why did they announce Empress Wei's absurdity the night before the rebellion? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to startle the snake? In fact, Yuan Shuji's statement is more reliable, everyone just wants to kill Wu Sansi, and the reason why the absurd things after Wei are posted is just to increase the justice of this action.

Secondly, these people rebel and can be beheaded. However, they are all heroes of the Shenlong coup. Oh, they have no merit in going to Wu Zetian, and they are guilty of a great crime after scolding Wei, is this reasonable?

Finally, and most importantly, thirty-three Qingliu officials with a very good reputation have all slandered Empress Wei, do people believe it? Do people think that this is an act of anger on their part? Will it be true to the name of the green turtle?

Li Xian said distressedly: "Then Erlang thinks, what should I do with them?" โ€

Cui Geng said confidently: "The problem now is that Zhang Cambodia and others are very likely to commit crimes. But at the same time, there is no conclusive evidence to prove their guilt. Wechen would like to say that there is a form of judgment in the land of Taixi for His Majesty's reference. โ€

"The land of Tessie? You speak! โ€

This method of adjudicating cases is called prosecution and defense bargaining. There, everything comes first in the law, and if the evidence is not sufficient, the government will make a deal with the defendant to confess some misdemeanor. At the most important conditions, the government will not pursue those serious crimes. โ€

Wu Sansi understood in an instant, and said: "What King Fuyang means is to make these people admit to the crime of attacking and killing the king, as for the crime of murdering the queen and the revelation of the post, it will also be exposed?" โ€

Cui Geng said: "It's officially. โ€

The reason why Wu Sansi asked Ran Zuyong to slander the Qing faction and say that the Qing faction intended to kill Empress Wei was because he was afraid that Li Xian would take his feelings and let go of the case lightly. If he can really fix the charge of the Qing faction's murder of himself, he is not unacceptable.

He said to Li Xian: "Weichen thinks that Cui Shangshu's words are reasonable. โ€

Li Xian looked at Empress Wei again and said, "Queen, what do you think?" โ€

"But it's up to Your Majesty to decide."

Li Xianfu looked at the ministers and said, "Do you accept Cui Aiqing's proposal?" โ€

The thirty-three people looked at each other, knelt on the ground, and said, "The minister has no objection." โ€

"That's good, Huan Yanfan slandered the queen, and the evidence of murdering Ran Zuyong is conclusive, and he will be executed. Zhang Cambodia, Yuan Shuji, Cui Xuan, and Jinghui are the masterminds of the assassination of King Dejing, and they should also be decided. The rest were exiled to Lingnan. โ€

Call~~

When Huan Yanfan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen is willing to bow to the law." โ€

He turned his head to look at Cui Geng and said, "Cui Shangshu, the old man really misjudged you before." When a man is about to die, his words are good. I'll last accompany you, our previous grievances and grievances are all the fault of the old man! โ€

Although the concept is different, Cui Geng also admires Huan Yanfan's hard bone, and said: "Huan Xiang is polite. โ€

Zhang Cambodia and the others also knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! โ€

Seeing a shocking case, it was settled.

However, in history, Zhang Cambodia and others were first exiled and then tortured and killed. Now, with Cui Geng's intervention, his head was cut off at the beginning, doesn't that mean that Cui Gengyue has helped?

How could Cui Geng sit back and watch this happen?

He said in a loud voice: "Wait, Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to say." โ€
