No matter how quick-thinking and imaginative Ren Sunfujia was, he probably would never have imagined that His Majesty the Emperor just got so angry that he punched, kicked and cursed a high-ranking Marquis official in this prison...
"Your Majesty, I have reviewed all the procedures for Marquis Huating, and Shaoqing Liu Xuanyi is responsible for the registration and filing. There are no omissions. Next, Dali Temple will start an investigation and trial on the impeachment case of Marquis Huating, and strive to be fair and just, and will never
He will give people a reason to talk and make others criticize him."
Sun Fujia ignored the strange atmosphere in the cell and expressed his attitude to His Majesty Li Er as soon as he entered.
"Strive to be fair and just" and "never give others a reason to criticize"...
No matter how you look at these words, they are words of surrender to His Majesty Li Er. In fact, Sun Fujia is indeed one of the few centrists in the court who does not have a family background. He only has the emperor in his eyes and is loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly.
Of course, just because of these two sentences, we cannot think that Sun Fuga is a "sycophant" like Fang Jun who only knows the will of the Holy Spirit and is devoted to flattery. Sun Fuga is well-known for being fair and honest, and will never be sentenced to death just because of someone's participation.
Unjust, false or wrongful conviction, even if this person is the emperor...
The reason why we spoke like this was actually because Fang Jun handled the Yuan family's case from beginning to end. He took out the culprit and killed him and gave an explanation, and he also concluded the case neatly and neatly in public. No one could find too many faults.
Is it possible that the prestige of Jingzhao Mansion must be sacrificed to overturn the verdict in one fell swoop?
The essence of any law is to ensure the stability and order of society. If the verdict is seriously reversed, I am afraid that the people of Chang'an City will immediately set off a violent trend, threatening the stability of Guanzhong...
His Majesty Li Er nodded, glanced at Liu Xuanyi, and remembered that this was the eldest son of Liu Zhenghui, Duke of Chongqing. He praised: "You have done a good job. You must continue to do things fairly and do not disgrace your father's reputation."
During the Sui Dynasty, Liu Zhenghui was Li Yuan's old guard in Taiyuan. During the Daye period at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was the Sima of Yingyang Prefecture in Taiyuan. His troops were under Li Yuan's command. Later he became a hero of Li Tang's first righteousness and gained Li Yuan's trust. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was ordered to stay behind.
Taiyuan, operating the rear. After Liu Wuzhou captured Taiyuan, Liu Zhenghui was captured but remained loyal and unyielding.
Liu Xuanyi was so excited that he shook his head and quickly bowed solemnly and said: "I will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations, be diligent and honest as an official."
Although he inherited the title of Duke of Chongqing from his father Liu Zhenghui, he was not a direct descendant of His Majesty Li Er. Liu Zhenghui was a descendant of the great ancestor Li Yuan. Although he had always admired His Majesty Li Er, he was never close to him...
Today, through a strange combination of circumstances, I was actually able to get His Majesty Li Er's approval. How could he not be excited?
When His Majesty Li Er saw Fang Jun rubbing the corners of his mouth and muttering, he kicked him away, sat on the chair in front of the wine table with a golden sword, snorted and said, "Dali Temple is a place of punishment."
How can a prison, a place of majesty and harshness, take more care of some people just because of their status and background?"
Liu Xuanyi felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. The joy in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he said tremblingly: "I am guilty."
Whatever the leader says is what he says, even if he is wrong, as a subordinate he cannot argue in public.
If you have to argue with the leader, even if you are right, you are still a fool...
Liu Xuanyi is not stupid, he immediately admits his mistake and never talks back.
Fang Jun rubbed the side of his buttocks that had been kicked again, with a look of resentment on his face.
His Majesty Li Er glanced at him and said calmly: "The imperial court has its own laws. You have acted recklessly this time, and it is inevitable that you will be guilty. You will always have to give an explanation to the world. So you will be detained here for a few days, waiting for the investigation and trial of Dali Temple to make a decision.
The verdict is that you cannot rely on your status to bully others, do you know?"
Fang Jun nodded quickly: "Wei Chen knows."
This is the proper meaning of the title.
In any case, he is suspected of instigating people to attack Daodefang. This is a big deal. If he is convicted, he will be dismissed from his official position, and he will be challenged by all the noble families in the world. That's why he took the first step and "surrendered"
Surrender yourself" is to continue to use the Dali Temple as a sign to protect yourself from wind and rain.
If all the people were released according to his previous plan and all the responsibilities were shouldered by himself, he would definitely become the target of public criticism, and the family members would definitely clamor for severe punishment against him. But now because of Li Yifu's self-assertion, the whole matter is in doubt.
By choosing a scapegoat and making those common people the scapegoats, the situation was greatly alleviated.
The family members don't necessarily want Fang Junyi to fight to the end. With His Majesty Li Er's protection, that is impossible. They just want an explanation to continue to maintain the aura and status above the heads of the family members.
As a result, the momentum has actually weakened a lot inadvertently.
As long as Dali Temple concludes that Fang Jun is "not guilty" again, even those who hate Fang Jun to the bone will have to stop.
After all, even members of the aristocratic family cannot single-mindedly want to kill Fang Jun. No matter which camp, there are always some people who "live in Cao's camp but feel in Han" due to interests or other reasons...
*****
The news that Fang Jun went to Dali Temple to "surrender" and was then detained by Dali Temple spread throughout Chang'an in an instant, with mixed reactions from all walks of life.
The family members are gearing up, thinking that the emperor has given up on Fang Jun under the heavy pressure of the family members, throwing him out as a scapegoat and taking the blame. The Guanlong Group, which has always been suppressed by Fang Jun, is even more excited.
The pace of impeachment suddenly accelerated, trying to kill Fang Jun!
But the people in Chang'an City were in a furious mood and making a lot of noise!
If a good official like Fang Erlang is still imprisoned, is this still the Tang Dynasty or the Zhenguan Dynasty? Is there any justice?
If Fang Erlang had not selflessly dug up the Yuan family's ancestral graves and vindicated the grievances of the eighty-one beautiful girls against the pressure of the aristocratic family, I don't know how many more girls like that would have suffered such torture and died. Maybe tomorrow
Among those who were killed and rushed into the tomb to be buried were their own daughters...
The whole city of Chang'an was in an uproar! Fang Jun knew that His Majesty Li Er would definitely protect him, and he would not have any worries even if he was imprisoned in Dali Temple. Fang Xuanling had long been in the officialdom and had become a master.
When I went to court, I also understood this and let Fang Jun mess around without getting involved, lest others make irresponsible remarks at that time, which would be unsightly. So I simply hid in the farm in Lishan and continued to organize talents from all over the country to compile the "Dictionary"
He ignored Fang Jun's affairs.
But the female relatives of the Fang family cannot see through this...
They just saw that the emperor gave in under the avalanche of impeachment memorials from the famous family members, and sent Fang Jun to the prison of Dali Temple to await punishment.
In the back house of the Fang family, Mrs. Lu cursed loudly...
"Who is our Erlang working so hard for? Isn't it because of His Majesty that he stands up and fights with those noble families who have maggots in their hearts? However, after making a small mistake, he can't withstand the pressure and throws Erlang out as a scapegoat. Where?
Is there such a person who wants to be an emperor? It’s uglier than anyone else to eat when there are benefits. When there is pressure, he throws his ministers out to take the blame. It’s simply too much!”
Lu's nature is fierce, and she doesn't care whether she is the emperor or not, and she will show no mercy.
According to her temperament, even if His Majesty Li Er is standing in front of her now, he would dare to go up and spit for the sake of his son!
But Princess Gaoyang was embarrassed...
The person her mother-in-law was hurling insults at was her father, but it seemed to her that the scolding was very reasonable. She wanted to defend her father but couldn't find the words, so she could only worry about it with a gloomy face.
I secretly complained that my father was not fastidious in doing things. How could he throw Mr. Lang into prison?
Naturally, the most politically gifted member of the Fang family is Wu Meiniang. However, no matter how good the talent is, it must be honed by personal experience before it will shine brightly. It’s just that Wu Meiniang, who controls the financial power of the Fang family, has obviously not yet evolved to be able to control all the men in the world.
They are all playing with the realm above the palm of their hand.
Although I vaguely felt that the matter was not that serious, why else would the head of the family, Fang Xuanling, look like he was sitting on Diaoyutai without any influence? Lang Jun was the backbone of the Fang family’s future. If Lang Jun fell, the future of the Fang family would be in jeopardy.
It was all gloomy, and Fang Xuanling could not remain indifferent.
But as the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Wu Meiniang couldn't calm down when she thought that her husband in the Dali Temple prison might be beaten, tortured, and tortured to extract confessions...
But she was just a concubine, and there was no place for her to talk, so she could only feel anxious and helpless.
