Chapter 9: Judgment of Lin Yaodao and summoning loyal ministers back to the capital
Zhao Ji saw that Lin Lingsu was choking and had difficulty breathing because she had swallowed too many rejuvenation pills, and rolled her eyes...
Based on what the time traveler Zhao Ji knew about the evildoer's crimes that brought disaster to the country and the people, he really wanted Lin Lingsu to choke to death in the Daqing Palace immediately.
However, before he traveled through time, he was a top student in the history department of the university, and he knew that the judiciary in the Northern Song Dynasty was still very perfect, and even the emperor wanted fair justice. The most basic standard for being a wise king is: you can't kill anyone immediately if you want to.
You can't spend as much money as you want on killing anyone, and you can't just sleep with whoever you want.
Besides, if the demon Dao Lin Lingsu died like this in the Daqing Palace, it would really be an advantage for him.
It cannot clear my name, but it will give the scholar-bureaucrats an excuse for me to kill innocent Taoist priests indiscriminately.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, they have acquiesced in co-ruling the world with the scholar-officials. The scholar-officials were spoiled in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji immediately ordered: "Bring the wine!"
Liang Shicheng, who was standing in front of Lin Lingsu who was about to choke to death, heard Zhao Guanjia's order and immediately shouted: "Bring the wine quickly."
The palace maid had prepared it in advance and brought in a jug of royal wine.
This was the habit of the former original artist, Emperor Zhao Ji, when he finished his calligraphy and painting, or when he wanted to drink to enhance his mood, the wine prepared for Zhao Guan's family in the palace was always delivered.
Liang Shicheng immediately took the jug.
Although he already understood that the purpose of Zhao Guan's family's order for wine was probably to give it to Lin Lingsu who was about to choke to death; however, he still respectfully asked Zhao Ji for instructions:
"Guan family, this wine has been delivered..."
Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, pointed at Lin Lingsu and said, "Give it to him, don't leave even a drop."
"I obey the order." Liang Shicheng immediately turned around and walked quickly to Lin Lingsu, complaining and flattering Zhao Guanjia:
"Daozhang Lin, you are really too impatient. You swallowed the Rejuvenation Pill in such a hurry. Did you choke?
Our official family is kind-hearted and has given you a pot of imperial wine so that you can drink the elixir. Let us feed it to you personally."
Liang Shicheng ordered the two Forbidden Army guards again: "You two, please open Daochang Lin's mouth quickly."
The two guards immediately did the same as before. One grabbed Lin Lingsu's hair and pulled her back, making Lin Lingsu face up. The other took Lin Lingsu's chin and pushed it down, making her open her mouth again.<
/p>
Liang Shicheng slowly poured the pot of royal wine into Lin Lingsu's mouth.
With the drink flowing down, Lin Lingsu felt that the many rejuvenation pills stuck in her throat were rushed into the esophagus and flowed down...
At this time, Lin Lingsu regained his breath. He was panting heavily and his face turned red and purple from holding back. The drink he had just drank still spilled out from the corners of his mouth, causing stains on his neck and the clothes he was wearing.
There were several patches wet on the front of Tianxian Dongyi.
Lin Taoist priest, who was once favored by the Zhao family and was extremely popular, is now in an extremely embarrassed state.
"Taoist Master Lin, the official has given you a royal wine, but you must drink it obediently and not even a drop is left!" Liang Shicheng's seemingly plain words were full of threats.
Lin Lingsu still had the slightest illusion of being able to survive this disaster. He nodded and said, "The poor man will naturally know."
He shouted to Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting on the dragon throne: "I would like to thank Emperor Changsheng for giving me the royal wine!"
Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said nothing.
However, in his opinion, Lin Lingsu shouted "Thank you" so loudly, probably because he wanted to prove that he was fine after swallowing so many rejuvenation elixirs, and wanted to prove his innocence.
However, the time traveler Zhao Ji knew that if the historical knowledge he learned before time traveling was true, then Lin Lingsu would not be able to escape the death penalty.
This was also the reason why he calculated in his heart that Lin Lingsu must be handed over to the judicial organs of the Song Dynasty to clarify his crime and expose it to the world.
Zhao Ji also found out through the remaining memories of the original owner that Zongze, who had already retired and returned to his hometown, was falsely accused by Lin Lingsu of despising the Taoism that Zhao Guan's family believed in, and was sent to Zhenjiang for supervision.
At this time, Lin Lingsu, who had his hands tied behind his back, knelt on the ground, raised his head actively, opened his mouth wide, and prepared to continue drinking the royal wine.
"Taoist Master Lin, that's right!" Liang Shicheng picked up the sapphire-like Ru porcelain flask again. There was still about a kilogram of royal wine left in it, and slowly poured it into Lin Lingsu's mouth... p>
Lin Lingsu was forced to drink up a pot of royal wine, feeling like "three people in the shadow"; she didn't know whether it was the effect of the wine or the effect of the rejuvenation elixir...
Zhao Ji suddenly spoke and asked: "Lin Lingsu, do you know your guilt?"
Lin Lingsu replied unsteadily: "I am a poor Taoist, but I don't know what the crime is?"
"Humph!" Zhao Ji snorted coldly:
"The first crime is that you allowed me to indulge in nothingness, neglect state affairs, build thousands of buildings, annex land, and exhaust the people's strength."
"The second crime is that you took advantage of your preaching to embezzle countless amounts of money."
"The third crime is that you falsely accused Zongze of despising Taoism, causing Zongze to be demoted."
"The fourth crime is that you don't know the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. You don't give way when you meet the prince's chariot on the road. Instead, you arrogantly fight for the prince's way."
"The fifth crime is that your disciples relied on your power to destroy counties and cities, and took advantage of their power to commit crimes, but you protected them, put pressure on the government, and allowed them to go unpunished!"
"The sixth crime is that you have been refining poisonous rejuvenation pills for a long time in order to harm me!"
With a "plop", Lin Lingsu was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. Especially the last one, this 'criminal crime', would definitely kill him countless times.
Lin Lingsu repeatedly complained: "Pindao has always been loyal to the officials and has never harmed them!"
Liang Shicheng vaguely felt that he could not understand the Zhao Guan family sitting on the dragon throne.
However, Liang Shicheng felt that it would not be wrong to flatter Zhao Guanjia. When he saw that Lin Lingsu was unable to stand up, he immediately said:
"The sage of the official family! Forgive me for being clumsy, I didn't see clearly the evil way of Lin Lingsu before. It's still the sage of the official family, who knows everything clearly..."
Zhao Ji ignored Liang Shicheng's flattery and mentally calculated that you, Liang Shicheng, are also like autumn grasshoppers and will not be able to survive for a few days.
Zhao Ji waved his hand and said:
"Push out the demon Dao Lin Lingsu and hand it over to Dali Temple for trial and conviction!"
"Obey!"
…………
"Liang Daguan, who drafted an edict for me, was framed by Lin Lingsu and demoted to Zhenjiang. Zongze quickly recalled him to the capital..."
"Li Gang, who continued to prepare decrees for me and was demoted to supervising the taxation of Sha County in Nanjianzhou, also quickly recalled him to the capital."
"Also, the matter of Zhao Zongze and Li Gang's return to the capital must be kept secret. No news is allowed to leak out. Two teams of forbidden troops must be sent to escort them on their way back to the capital..."
…………
[ps: Relevant information about Dali Temple mentioned in the article: In the second year of Yuanfeng of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty (1077), the Dali Temple was restored, and all the prisons of the Baisi of the capital were returned to Dali. The following cases were specially judged for the crimes of exile, and the cases of capital crimes were reported to the Yushitai "for
Temple Review".
In order to avoid mistakes in the trials of Dali Temple, two systems were set up in Dali Temple: left-hand punishment and right-hand prison system. The left-hand punishment system was set up with three cases, four divisions and eight chambers to handle the world's doubtful cases and order officials, and the trial of criminal cases in the school.
