Li Jing usually doesn't take care of things, but he also studied the "Zhenguan Law", thought about it and said: "There is no explicit regulation, but building a dam to block water is suspected of endangering the public, so it should be punished as a crime of endangering public safety."
"That makes him guilty?"
Li Jing was also unsure of Qin Huaidao's intentions, but he couldn't tell lies with his eyes open, right? A gentleman treats others with sincerity, nodding immediately and remaining silent.
After Qin Huaidao received a positive reply, he bowed to Li Er in the Jinluan Hall and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the tenants of Weichen's fiefdom built a dam to block water, which triggered the law. Weichen is willing to be punished. Fortunately, no actual harm has been caused. Your Majesty also asks you to
If you are dismissed lightly, the humble minister will never complain, and he will be corrected immediately when he returns."
"Huh?"
Everyone looked surprised, it was obvious that he was not a good person, so where did this come from?
Li Er couldn't guess, so he looked at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin understood Li Er's thoughts best and immediately said: "Your Majesty, since no actual harm has been caused, it is better to order Chao Yilang to make corrections and impose a slight punishment to serve as a warning to others."
Li Er thought for a while, looked at the supervisory censor and asked: "What do you have to say about what Duke Lu has said?"
"Wei Chen has nothing to say."
"In this case, Chaoyi Lang is ordered to correct his mistakes and is fined half a year's salary. This matter has been brought to light." Li Er said seriously.
"My Holy Emperor!"
Everyone bowed and said in unison.
Li Er looked at Qin Huaidao, feeling a little disappointed. He thought he could make some noise, but he gave up and was willing to be punished. He still needs to practice his ability to make trouble.
Qin Huaidao accepted the punishment because he wanted to be dismissed from office, but he didn't expect to be corrected. The fine was fine. Forget it. He didn't have much money in a month. He didn't plan to work hard anyway. If he deducted the amount, it would be impossible to correct it. If he changed it, how could he raise fish?
?How to improve the lives of bankers? What can we do to help old bachelors get out of singles?
Seeing Li Er looking over, with disappointment flashing in his eyes, Qin Huaidao became even more angry. What kind of look is this? The emperor can't even take care of his own people, so he has the nerve to be disappointed with himself? He immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."
"Oh? Tell me."
Li Er saw the unruly and unyielding look in Qin Huaidao's eyes. This was the rhythm of making trouble. It seemed that he had misunderstood. His eyes suddenly lit up and he became energetic.
"Your Majesty!"
Qin Huai spoke righteously and said loudly: "Wei ministers sued the magistrate of Chang'an County for protecting his tribe, using power for personal gain, and extorting confessions through torture, resulting in the death of three veterans and dozens of serious injuries. Even if they recover, the root of the disease will be left. They are the pillars of the family, and now they have collapsed.
The whole family has no hope. They are all veterans who have shed blood for the Tang Dynasty. How could they do this?"
The words resounded throughout the hall.
Thinking of the veterans who were mutilated and severely injured, Qin Huaidao couldn't control his anger. He looked at Li Jing and continued: "Your Majesty, a humble minister also complained to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to protect him, concocted an unjust, false and wrong case, and left his corpse as a meal. He did not distinguish right from wrong. His heart can be punished.
Mr. Li, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, have you ever seen veterans who were beaten to death? Back then, they dared to charge into battle because of your military order and had great trust in you, so the Ministry of Punishment persecuted them like this?"
One hit, double kill!
To sue both the Chang'an County Magistrate and the Ministry of Punishment is extremely courageous.
Everyone was secretly frightened and their eyes flickered.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were so impatient that they even sued Chang'an County. They even sued the Ministry of Punishment. Is this going to break the sky? They wanted to stop it. They were pulled by Li Xiaogong and shook their heads secretly. The two were a little confused, but they were
This famous clan general who conquered half of the Tang Dynasty was still convinced and endured it for the time being.
Li Jing's face instantly turned pale, and he whispered in embarrassment: "My nephew misunderstood. I was bedridden a few days ago and didn't know about it. I only found out about you today."
After saying that, Li Jing took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid, and I beg you to review it again."
A word that speaks loudly!
Li Er's eyes were bright, his heart was agitated, and he secretly praised him for being a good boy. I really dare to say that he is trying to pull out a nest case. If he really succeeds, he can kill many officials who have taken refuge with Wu Xing Qi Wang. He has the courage. This is easy.
Qin Qiong immediately shouted: "Chao Yilang, please tell me carefully."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qin Huaidao organized his speech and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, ministers, Mr. Li of the Ministry of Punishment just now said that building a dam to block water is a crime of endangering public safety. The tenants of the humble minister have violated the law and are willing to be punished. I have nothing to say. Since building a dam to block water,
Shui is guilty, so what crime should Wang Hu, a member of the Wang family, face?"
Everyone suddenly realized that their feelings were waiting here, and they all glanced at Wang Gui calmly.
Wang Gui's heart skipped a beat and he had a premonition that the situation was not good, but he didn't stand up immediately. He gave a look to the person behind him. The other person stood up knowingly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Wang Hu is just building a dam.
It was not blocking the water, so there was no sin."
"Hahaha, you are not guilty. The "Zhenguan Law" belongs to your family. If you say you are guilty, you are guilty. If you say you are not guilty, you are innocent? Or should you say that the Tang Dynasty belongs to you and you have the final say in everything?" Qin Huaida said emotionally.
Somewhat angry, he put a big hat on him directly.
The other party's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid, but I am just discussing the matter and speaking uprightly."
"You are such a righteous speaker, let me ask you, why is it that my tenants are guilty of building a dam to hold back water, but the Wang family is not guilty of building a dam to hold back water?"
"The Wang family only built dams and never blocked the water."
"The tenants on my farm are also building a dam. They only started yesterday afternoon. Which of your eyes saw the dam being blocked? Why is it that the Wang family is not guilty but I am guilty?"
"this?"
The other party was speechless for a moment and found it difficult to answer. Suddenly an idea struck him and he quickly said: "You built a dam on your village and blocked the waterway. The accumulation of water will inevitably cause the fertile fields upstream to be flooded. You should be guilty."
"Sure enough, he is a glib talker who talks nonsense and accuses without regard to the facts." Qin Huaidao retorted, looked at Li Er and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Wang family built a dam to block water, resulting in no water available downstream, and the humble minister has thousands of acres.
If the fertile fields are dried up, there are more than tens of millions of fertile fields downstream of the humble minister, and they will all be dried up. When the time comes, the people will have no way to survive, and there will be great chaos. The humble minister sues the Wang family for deliberately creating disasters and provoking civil unrest with evil intentions."
"hiss--"
This hat was even bigger, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
Cheng Yaojin shouted excitedly: "Yes, the Wang family built a dam to block the water and cut off the vitality of the downstream. Is this deliberately provoking public anger and intending to rebel? Your Majesty and the ministers seconded the proposal and asked the three departments to review and find out the truth.
!”
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"
The eyes of the generals and nobles suddenly lit up, and they all came out to agree.
Things escalated instantly and the scene was chaotic.
Changsun Wuji also jumped out and shouted: "Your Majesty, I also agree with you. Since Chao Yilang is guilty, the Wang family is also guilty, and the guilt comes first. Chao Yilang was just forced. What the Wang family did is indeed suspicious. I kindly ask for an investigation.
To understand the truth, to understand the truth!”
Li Er's eyes flashed, and he realized that he had underestimated Qin Huaidao's ability to cause trouble. This was really going to break the news, but if it was to his own benefit, he would take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames.
At this time, Wang Gui stood up first and shouted: "Your Majesty, what happened to Wang Hu was done by himself and was not what the Wang family wanted. When the minister found out, he asked my son to withdraw the lawsuit, but Wang Hu is a member of the Wang family after all.
I'm not sure, but I'm willing to be punished and compensate Chao Yilang for his losses. Is that okay?"
Losing the car to protect the leader, retreating in order to advance, and everyone can't find the target in an instant.
