Everyone responded in unison and stood up straight, but no one dared to sit down.
It's not that His Majesty Li Er is so overbearing that he doesn't allow officials to sit in front of him, but that he has occupied the main seat, and today's three chief judges can only stand aside. In this case, who of the other officials would have the nerve to sit down?
His Majesty Li Er looked around, took a look at Fang Jun, and then looked at Cheng Wuting who was lying on the door panel. He frowned obviously and said, "I saw that the case here has not been closed, so I came here to take a look. Everyone
My servant, please handle the case in accordance with the rules and do not avoid me. Just when I came here, I received a report that a fire broke out in Dongcheng, which was very large and affected a wide area. Jingzhao Mansion has already started to extinguish the fire, but I don’t know the specific situation. Therefore,
I also ask all ministers to close the case quickly, so that I can pay attention to the fire situation in Dongshi."
The officials looked at each other underground.
Talk about trying cases according to rules...
You have come in person, how can we still understand your thoughts? Moreover, you put aside such a major matter as the Dongshi Fire and waited until the case here was concluded before handling it. Your intentions are simply obvious...
Linghu Defen weighed it in his mind and felt that although the family property was important, it was obviously urgent to convict Fang Jun. Besides, even if there was a fire in Dongshi, it would not be unlucky to burn down his own mansion, right?
He took a step forward, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, although the case is still unclear and Her Royal Highness Princess Changle has testified, Fang Jun cannot be cleared of suspicion. Therefore, the veteran believes that Fang Jun should be detained temporarily until the case is heard.
We will then convict him after he is clear about it.”
Wei Yijie quickly stood up and said, "Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
Several major players in the Guanlong Group came forward to support Linghu Defen.
Fang Jun watched coldly in the audience. This was expected. How could the Guanlong Group easily let go of the opportunity to overthrow him?
only……
Things are not as easy as you think.
His Majesty Li Er frowned and glanced at Linghu Defen, and said calmly: "I have already said that you can handle the case according to the rules. I am just here to take a look and have no intention of getting involved. But since you have asked me for permission, then I will
Let me tell you something: no matter how you try the case or how you conclude the case, it must be completed as soon as possible. Now that the fire is spreading in the East City, the fire is getting more and more intense, and the losses must be considerable. However, the Jingzhao Mansion is leaderless, and no one is in charge of the overall situation, which will inevitably delay the disaster relief.
If you decide that Fang Jun is not guilty, then I will immediately order Fang Jun to resume his duties and go to rescue the disaster. If you decide that Fang Jun is guilty, then tomorrow morning at the court, I will urge the political affairs hall to recommend a person to succeed Jing Zhaoyin.
.The Jingzhao Mansion is at the foot of the Emperor and an important place in the capital. How can it be that no one has been in charge of the overall situation for many days?"
Where is this unintentional involvement?
It’s obviously pressure!
Sun Fujia stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although Fang Jun is suspected, the evidence is insufficient. According to my opinion, it is better to release him first and order him to organize the Jingzhao Mansion for disaster relief. We will review the case in detail."
After that, we will deal with it.”
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly: "That's not bad. Since you can't be convicted, you can't be detained indefinitely, right?"
Linghu Defen gritted his teeth and replied: "Your Majesty clearly knows that although Fang Jun cannot be convicted for the time being, his suspicion is indeed serious. Once he is released, it will be really serious if there is any way to eliminate the evidence of the crime or even to abscond in fear of crime.
inappropriate."
His Majesty Li Er said "Oh": "That makes sense..."
All the officials are a little confused. What is your attitude?
It's really impartial...
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the chamberlain Wang De came in and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the fire in the East Market has become more and more intense. Now it has affected dozens of shops and buildings in three streets. The fire is spreading..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Linghu Defen and continued: "It is reported that the Wei family, the Linghu family, the Changsun family, etc. all have properties in their names that were affected by the fire, and the losses are still unknown."
"Buzz"
Linghu Defen felt a shock in his head and felt dizzy.
Really afraid of what will happen!
The store in our house is full of silk. Those things are really valuable, but once they catch a spark, they become a raging fire that cannot be put out!
Linghu Defen was so distressed that he was bleeding, his face turned red, and he said angrily: "What does Du Chuke do for food? What a bastard. His Majesty ordered him to act as Jing Zhaoyin's duty, but he can't even put out a fire?"
His Majesty Li Er glanced at him, nodded and said: "Du Chuke is indeed to blame. Wang De, please pass on my order to immediately remove Du Chuke from his position as agent of Jing Zhaoyin, and order him to reflect on his blame and write me a good letter."
A confession of guilt. This is nonsense! I entrusted him with such an important responsibility, how could I ignore it so lightly and cause a catastrophe?"
Linghu Defen blinked his eyes, feeling very regretful!
Your Majesty, please don't be so arrogant, okay? Although we scold Du Chuke, he still has the final say in the Jingzhao Mansion and is in charge of the overall situation. He can also organize firefighting and save a little bit...
But now that you have removed Du Chuke from his post on the spot, who has the final say in Jingzhao Mansion?
Isn’t this fire hopeless?
The other officials, who more or less have properties in the East City, are looking at Linghu Defen angrily! The old man is jealous and short-sighted, and only knows how to impeach this and that. You love impeachment so much, why should you be the Minister of Rites?
Wouldn't it be better to serve under Liu Jie as a censor who would arrest and impeach anyone?
Liu Dewei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down! The fire incident happened suddenly, and there is no one to blame. Although Du Chuke slightly neglected his duties, he cannot bear the power and responsibility. I still ask your Majesty to withdraw the order and order Du Chuke to temporarily take charge of Jing Zhaoyin's duties.
Putting out fires is the best option.”
His family has several shops in Dongshi. If they were really burned down, how many days would he suffer from physical pain?
Everyone quickly dissuaded His Majesty Li Er from withdrawing his order.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er would not listen to the advice this time. He shook his head and said: "I ordered Du Chuke to act as Jing Zhaoyin, but he can't even put out a fire. What's the use?"
Everyone glared at Linghu Defen again!
What else don’t you understand?
Du Chuke is the official appointed by His Majesty to replace Fang Jun in handling matters in the Jingzhao Mansion. You, an old man, came up and cursed Du Chuke, but the slap was in His Majesty's face!
Now His Majesty is angry and has withdrawn Du Chuke directly...
So who will be in charge of Jingzhao Mansion?
In such a short period of time, Jingzhao Mansion has become a mess again, and no one else will be able to deal with it...
Linghu Defen's old face was blood red and he felt ashamed.
All the officials were anxious and wanted to dissuade His Majesty Li Er from letting Du Chuke continue to organize the fire fighting. Footsteps were heard at the door again...
Li Junxian, the commander-in-chief of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", quickly walked in, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I will see your majesty at the end."
His Majesty Li Er looked embarrassed. He snorted and said in a deep voice: "Li Junxian, that Changsun Chong is in the city now, but you, as the commander of the 'Hundred Cavalry', don't know it. Do you know your guilt?"
Li Junxian was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and said: "The general is guilty, please punish me."
The officials and he were all shocked. Changsun Chong actually returned to Chang'an?
Li Junxian secretly complained that even His Majesty knew about it, but he knew nothing about it. It seemed that he was really not suitable to be the commander of this "Hundred Cavalry Division"...
Before His Majesty Li Er could speak, he was interrupted by another burst of hurried footsteps.
All the officials in the hall were a little confused, what happened today? These things are happening one after another, and they are not over yet...
I saw a military attaché dressed as a guard quickly walking in, kneeling on one knee in the hall and saying loudly: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess Changle's gymnasium just outside the city was robbed by thieves, and most of her guards were killed. Now His Highness has disappeared..."
boom!
There was an uproar in the lobby.
In the majestic capital of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, the emperor's most beloved princess was actually robbed?
What a joke!
Li Junxian was dumbfounded.
Mother!
When Your Majesty was looking for me, I followed His Royal Highness Princess Changle to protect me secretly, so I was scolded; when I rushed to His Majesty, Princess Changle was robbed by others...
What the hell kind of bad luck is this that allows people to live?
