Fang Jun didn't even look at Qiu Shenji, but looked at Guo Fushan and others beside him and said: "This dog defied the imperial court and attacked the military headquarters, injuring dozens of soldiers, and insulting the officials without even seeing the emperor. It is a heinous crime that cannot be defended. I
He will be taken to Dali Temple and punished in accordance with the national law. You are all officials of the Ministry of War. If this matter is reported, everyone will be embarrassed. Therefore, I suggest that we jointly request Dali Temple to sentence him harshly. What do you think?"
Who can object?
As Fang Jun said, everyone is an official of the Ministry of War. No matter what camp you are in, you must first maintain the authority of the Ministry of War. Otherwise, you will become a villain who tries to steal others. Then don't hang out in the yamen of the Ministry of War in the future.
Now that Qiu Shenji is making such a fuss, the Ministry of War will inevitably become the laughing stock of the whole court. If Li Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is not at home, the Ministry of War will become a soft persimmon that can be bullied?
This is absolutely intolerable!
Immediately, everyone unanimously agreed and jointly signed a letter requesting Dali Temple to deal with it in accordance with the law and severely punish him!
Qiu Shenji, whose face was covered with blood, wanted to speak, but Wei Ying on the side got a rag from nowhere and stuffed it into his mouth, and then used a rope to trap a four-horse horse with its hooves, which made Qiu Shenji groan in pain.
He screamed, all the bones in his body seemed to be broken, and his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat...
Fang Jun looked around and said: "I will go to Dali Temple to take a look. You can just stick to your duties and comfort the injured soldiers. I will definitely seek justice for everyone."
Everyone said yes one after another.
Qiu Shenji was escorted out. Fang Jun went out and called Wei Ying to him, whispering a few words in his ear.
Wei Ying's eyes lit up and he whispered: "Erlang, don't worry, I will do it properly, so that Erlang will be angry! Mother! This guy is ugly and arrogant, how can he be worthy of a person like Princess Changle?"
?It’s just you, Erlang of our family... Ouch! Don’t kick me, don’t kick me, I’m just going to do something right now..."
After giving Wei Ying a hard kick and driving him away, Fang Jun straightened up his appearance and Shi Shiran went to Dali Temple to complain.
*****
The original purpose of setting up the Dali Temple was because local officials had too much judicial power and could convict death row prisoners on their own, which resulted in many unjust, false and wrongful convictions. In order to consolidate the prisons, the Dali Temple was first established as a review organ to achieve "prison
"With no injustice".
Outside of Jingzhao Mansion, any death penalty verdict in any yamen must be reviewed by Dali Temple. Of course, everyone knows that "the law must be determined by reasoning", "the punishment must be deemed a crime", so that "the prison is not unjust"
It's not easy...
Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the functions of Dali Temple have gradually expanded.
As the central government gradually becomes stronger, the supervision of officials will naturally become more stringent. Under this situation, it becomes more and more difficult to try many high-ranking officials involved in illegal cases, because the local government is often not high enough to hear cases involving high-ranking officials.
Therefore, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, when senior officials in the local government who were not high enough to be tried and who were not qualified to be managed by Zongzheng Temple were involved in the case, they were transferred to Dali Temple for trial and punishment.
As the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the benefits, but Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, obviously does not think so. He is a person without much ambition, so the greater the power, the greater the benefits.
The more trouble there is...
Just like now, looking at Fang Junyi standing tall in the hall and sternly accusing Qiu Shenji of how he attacked the Ministry of War, how he insulted officials, how he beat soldiers... Then look at Qiu Shenji who was tied up like a dead dog with blood on his face, Sun
Fujia had bouts of brain pain.
If he were an ordinary official, Sun Fujia could scold him with a straight face and then expel them back to settle the matter. Or he could strictly follow the law and how to deal with it was all in his mind. After all, the matter was not too serious.
s consequence.
However, facing Fang Jun, Qiu Shenji, and Sun Fuga, they were the first and second best...
Neither of these two are the masters of Ansheng!
It wasn't that he was afraid of anyone, but Sun Fujia didn't want to provoke these two bastards. He first offered Fang Jun a seat with a smile, then asked the doctor in the yamen to briefly deal with Qiu Shenji's injury, and then started to make peace with him.
"Qiu Duwei, let me tell you first, why did you break into the military headquarters without permission and insult the officials?"
Even if it is a fight with Xini, we must first figure out the cause and effect. Who is causing trouble and who is suffering the loss must be clarified. Otherwise, these two guys are easy-going. Which one is willing to suffer the loss in vain without saying a word?
Fang Jun also looked at Qiu Shenji, who had a bruised nose and swollen face. He said that he was sitting in the yamen without messing with anyone, so why did this guy come to his door after drinking?
Qiu Shenji was lying on the ground covered with a thick mat. It wasn't that he didn't want to do it, but it was really painful to move all the bones in his body. The doctor just said that he had two broken ribs, a fractured left leg, and a fractured right leg.
Shoulder dislocation…
The more pain on my body, the more angry in my heart. The guy rubbed his neck and said angrily: "I returned to Beijing to report on my duties, but when I sent it to the Ministry of War, there was no reply. Even if I was asked to go to the Northwest Army to blow sand and eat loess, then what would happen?
There has to be a charter, right? Just leaving me aside and bullying me is a soft persimmon or something?"
Sun Fujia frowned, feeling unhappy.
Who are you talking about when you keep saying "I"?
He didn't want to provoke these two people, but he was definitely not a timid person. Hearing this, his face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Qiu Duwei, please be careful. This is the Dali Temple, not like the East and West Cities."
If you have no respect in this place, I will punish you according to the law, and your crime will be increased!"
Fang Jun coughed slightly and added fuel to the fire: "Sun Siqing also saw him. This man was probably drunk, talking nonsense, and unscrupulous. Just now at the Ministry of War, he not only ignored the dissuasion of his officer and injured dozens of soldiers,
He even spoke rudely and slandered the Ministry of War, despised the imperial court, and even had no regard for the emperor! Now that he has arrived at Dali Temple, he is still so fearless in front of Sun Siqing... It is really lawless and evil! Please ask Sun Siqing to uphold justice.
Bring this beast to justice to restore the reputation of the Ministry of War."
Qiu Shenji was immediately furious and yelled: "Get out of here, mother! You bastard abused your power just because you were the minister of the Ministry of War, and detained my worthy servant, and delayed arranging an official position for me. Instead, you gave me an innocent face.
look?"
Fang Jun ignored Qiu Shenji and instead stared at Sun Fujia to exert pressure: "Sun Siqing saw it with his own eyes. You can imagine how arrogant this person was in the Ministry of War just now! If Sun Siqing cannot bear to be punished according to law because of his father's face,
The officer then went to Chengtian Gate in person to kowtow on the gate and complain in front of His Majesty! Otherwise, where would the majesty of the Ministry of War be, where would the face of the court be, and where would the power of the Tang Dynasty be?"
Sun Fuga asked in reply: "Can the minister of the house have an explanation for what Qiu Shenji said?"
He really wanted to turn it into a big deal and turn it into a trivial matter. After all, this is not a big problem. Although Qiu Shenji was at fault in the first place, he was the one who was beaten and injured. As long as Fang Jun relaxes his tone a little, this matter can naturally be solved.
This matter clearly seemed to be caused by some trouble between the two dudes, which led to endless fuss. Qiu Shenji also failed to control his temper after drinking and was caught by Fang Jun... The key is who is willing to take care of such trivial matters?
matter?
Qiu Shenji's crime is indeed unforgivable, but in the final analysis, it is just a drunken mess, and there is no need to go to the line...
However, as soon as Fang Jun opened his mouth, Sun Fujia's thoughts were completely shattered.
Fang Jun said calmly: "The Ministry of War has its own rules and regulations, and there is no need to report to anyone for explanation. If someone has doubts, they can naturally impeach the Yushitai. How can they attack the central government office out of private anger and insult the imperial officials? It is a state-owned and national law.
, there are family rules, and the evidence of what Qiu Shenji did is conclusive and irrefutable. Is it possible that Sun Siqing intends to use his power for personal gain and flout the law?"
Sun Fujia choked and sighed inwardly. He looked helplessly at Qiu Shenji and said, "Do you have anything to say in defense, Captain Qiu?"
Before Qiu Shenji could speak, Fang Jun had already taken out the letter signed by all the officials of the Ministry of War and placed it on Sun Fuga's desk.
"This is jointly written by the officials of the Ministry of War. They are all filled with righteous indignation at Qiu Shenji's behavior! Sun Siqing can take a look. If Dali Temple cannot uphold justice and maintain the dignity of the Ministry of War and bring those who attack the Ministry of War to justice, then I will
In accordance with the will of all the officers of the Ministry of War, go to Chengtianmen and kowtow at the gate to petition, asking Your Majesty to open our eyes for us and maintain the majesty of the imperial official office!"
Before Fang Jun finished speaking, Qiu Shenji laughed angrily and yelled loudly: "Fart, it's just a fart! If the Ministry of War hadn't detained Mr. and Mrs. Qianhe, why did Mr. and Mrs. break into the Ministry of War to question him? It's obviously Fang Jun, you are avenging your personal revenge.
He beat someone again until his whole body was covered with injuries. Is it possible that the beating was in vain?"
