Zhao Zhi was startled. He looked up and saw a fair-faced and handsome young man about twenty years old walking in from outside. He knew at a glance that he was the son of a wealthy family. He naturally knew this man. He was Li Gang's youngest son, Li Xian.
. Said: "You came just in time to save me from having to send you again."
Li Xian took a step forward and bowed politely, "My nephew has met Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Zhidao: "You should call me by my official name here."
Li Gang and Zhao Zhi had known each other for a long time, and their families had contacts, so Li Xian called them uncle.
Peng Lei looked left and right, then suddenly pointed at Li Xian and said, "It's him, it's him, he's the one who killed my third sister."
When his mother, who had just woken up, heard this, she immediately jumped up and rushed towards Li Xian, "You murderer, I will fight with you to give my daughter her life."
The officer on the side immediately stepped forward and grabbed the woman.
Zhao Zhi shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, please take Mrs. Liu to the side hall."
Mrs. Liu was held by two officials and could not move, but she refused to give up and cried loudly: "Murderer, murderer, even if I am a ghost, I will never let you go."
Li Xian suddenly became extremely excited and turned to Mrs. Liu: "Auntie, Hua Lei and I truly love each other. Even if I hurt myself, I won't hurt her, so how could I kill her?"
As soon as this statement came out, the case took a turn for the worse.
Zhao Zhi frowned in confusion.
Peng Lei pointed at Li Xian and said: "Nonsense, I have never heard Third Sister mention you. You clearly killed my Third Sister out of lust."
Li Xiandao: "I dare to swear to God that I will never lie. I met Hualei at Xiangguo Temple more than two months ago. I remember that she was selling flowers at Xiangguo Temple with a basket of flowers. I fell in love with her at first sight.
, I also bought a bouquet of flowers from her. But at that time I was too shy to say anything, but I kept paying attention to her. Later I couldn't help but follow her, and I found out that she lived in Meilin Village.
At first, I often went to Meilin Village to secretly watch her. Later, I found out that she would come to Xiangguo Temple to sell flowers every month when it was open. So I went to Xiangguo Temple to meet her every day. Until last month, she seemed to be there too.
She noticed me and asked me why I wanted to follow her. That was it. We got to know each other and fell in love with each other very quickly.
The afternoon before yesterday, we made an appointment to go to the forest where she often picks flowers. However, when I arrived, I found that she had not come. I thought I had arrived early, but after waiting for a while, I found that the flower buds had not come yet. I was worried.
, I was about to look for it. But after taking a few steps, a hand suddenly covered my face from behind, and then I didn’t know anything else. When I woke up, I found the flower bud lying next to me, and I screamed repeatedly.
After several calls, she didn't respond. Then I realized something was wrong, so I stretched out my hand to take her breath away, and found that she had expired. I was really frightened at that time, and my mind went blank. Just then I heard Brother Peng shouting outside,
I was at a loss for words, so I rushed out of the ruined temple and bumped into Brother Shui on the way."
Peng Lei bulged his eyes and said, "You are only telling one side. And I have never heard Third Sister say that she knows you."
Li Xiandao: "It's just that Hua Lei thinks that our two families are very different, have the wrong family, and have the wrong household, so there can be no consequences, so that's why she has been reluctant to tell you, but - but it's my fault, because I don't know."
---I was also afraid of my father and didn't dare to tell him, so I kept dragging it on. I'm sorry for Hua Lei, but I will never hurt Hua Lei."
How could the son of the dignified president of the Judicial Yuan meet a village girl? This was an unwritten rule. Now that Li Gang was slowly building his own power, marriage was also very important to him.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhi asked: "Li Xian, you said that someone covered your face from behind in the woods and then you fainted?"
Li Xian nodded and said: "Exactly."
Zhao Zhidao: "Can anyone prove this?"
Li Xian shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Zhao Zhi asked again: "Can anyone confirm what you said?"
Li Xian still shook his head and said: "Because of our two family backgrounds, we would choose to have trysts in very secluded places. I was also afraid that my father would find out, so I never mentioned it to anyone."
Peng Dashu hurriedly said: "Sir, you heard it, you heard it, he must be lying."
Zhao Zhi asked again: "Then why are you here?"
Li Xian's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he said: "After I returned home the day before yesterday, I have been hiding in the house. I was very scared. But after the fear passed, I was very sad, so I rushed to Meilin Village before dawn today, hoping to see
The last time I saw Hua Lei, I also wanted to tell my uncle and aunt about what happened between Hua Lei and me, hoping to get their forgiveness."
Zhao Zhidao: "Forgive? Forgive what?"
Li Xiandao: "If Hua Lei didn't know me, he wouldn't have gone to the woods that day, and he wouldn't have--in the end, I was the one who harmed her. But when I knew that my uncle had brought Hua Lei here to complain, I rushed over.
, I am not afraid of taking any charge, but I hope to find the murderer so that I can comfort Hua Lei’s spirit in heaven.”
Peng Dashu gritted his teeth and said: "If you hadn't been guilty of being a thief, you wouldn't have fled in a hurry that day. The evidence is so solid that you can't even think about making excuses."
Zhao Zhi thought about Peng Lei again and asked: "Peng Lei, you were at the ruined temple that day. Apart from Li Xian, did you see anyone else?"
Peng Lei shook his head and said: "The common people only saw Li Xian, so they must have harmed my third sister. Please make the decision for my third sister."
Zhao Zhi nodded, suddenly looked at the Shui brothers again, and asked: "Water is thousands of miles away, water is thousands of miles away, why were you so unwilling to tell the truth just now? Moreover, according to what my people told me, when they came to find you,
You are packing your bags, wondering where you want to go?"
Shui Wanli panicked and said: "My lord, you are wronged. The reason why the villain refused to tell me just now is because the other party is the son of the chief justice. In fact, the villain didn't know about Peng Sanmei that day, so he just casually said that he met Mr. Li.
, but later I learned that I regretted it very much, for fear of getting into trouble. Yesterday, both of us brothers were so frightened that we did not even go out to work. Today, we heard that Peng Dashu came to the city to file a lawsuit, and we brothers were afraid of retaliation.
, so I’m going to hide somewhere else.”
Zhao Zhi angrily rebuked: "You bastards, it is precisely because of you greedy and fearful people that the originally simple case has become more complicated. In this bright world, if you have not done anything wrong, who will
Dare to retaliate against you. Who will retaliate against you? You know that what you just said has caused injustice to the Judicial Yuan. It is really unreasonable."
"The villain is aware of his sin, the villain is aware of his sin, the master is merciful, the lord is merciful."
The two brothers quickly kowtowed and admitted their mistake.
Zhao Zhi glanced sideways and felt helpless. In fact, he could understand the mentality of the Shui brothers. Ten years ago, the Song Dynasty had been in a very dark period. It was common for these princes and nobles to do evil, and they were
It is not restricted by the law, and it will not be a day's work to change this kind of thinking, but he must explain it clearly, otherwise it will bring a lot of harm to the Judicial Yuan. After all, Li Gang has done nothing, you are so
He said, isn't it just to induce people to think that way? He said: "Although you have not broken the law and I have no power to punish you, your behavior is extremely shameful. I hope you can correct it. Also, are you responsible for this matter?"
Very important witnesses, you still need to stay here for a few days. Come, wait for them to go down and rest."
Two cadres immediately came up and said: "You two, please come."
The Shui brothers were trembling with fear. They dared to leave.
Zhao Zhidao: "With so many people watching here, how dare I do this to you? Don't worry. I'm just keeping you here to assist in the investigation. As long as you haven't broken any laws, I will let you go when the time comes."
When the Shui brothers heard this, they felt a little relieved and followed the two government officials down the road.
Zhao Zhi then said to the crowd: "There are many doubts about this case. I still need to investigate. I will stop here today. I will make a judgment after I complete the investigation."
Peng Dashu was anxious. This was a way for officials to protect each other. He said: "Your Majesty, the evidence in this case is conclusive. Are there any doubts?"
Zhao Zhidao: "At that time, Peng Lei only saw Li Xian running out of the ruined temple, but did not witness Li Xian killing Peng Hualei. Peng Lei could not be sure that there was no one else around at the time. Moreover, Li Xian refused to plead guilty. If he had
It would be too rash for the officials to just listen to your family's words and directly judge Li Xian as the murderer without even investigating. It also violates the judicial system. But don't worry, since I have taken over this case, I will definitely give you a reward.
Justice. Come here, take Li Xian into custody pending trial and withdraw from court."
After saying that, he didn't bother to talk, got up and left.
Two hours later.
"Zhao Judicial, I just heard someone say that Xian'er killed someone? What on earth is going on?"
Li Gang hurried to Dali Temple. When he saw Zhao Zhi, he hurriedly asked. Suddenly he saw two people sitting next to him. He was stunned for a moment and said: "Chen Yushi, Dean Mao, why are you here?"
Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand and said with a slight smile: "Dean Li, be patient for a moment. Please sit down first."
When Li Gang saw Chen Dong and Mao Shu both there, he felt even more anxious and sat down with a confused look on his face.
Zhao Zhi told Li Gang the whole story and handed the petition to Li Gang.
After Li Gang saw it, he stood up in anger and said, "This scoundrel has hidden so many things from me. I'm really angry."
He was an impatient person, and he was so angry that he cursed for a long time without repeating it. But after he finished cursing, he said to Zhao Zhi: "Zhao Judgment, although this scoundrel is confused sometimes, he will never kill anyone. This case has been decided."
There is something inside."
Chen Dong suddenly said: "Dean Li, you don't have the final say on whether it is right or wrong. You have to let the facts speak for themselves."
Li Gang knew he had made a mistake and said again: "Yes, yes, what Chen Yushi said is that if that evil man really did it, I will definitely kill him myself."
If you kill him, you are also guilty of murder.
Of course, Chen Dong didn't say this.
Zhao Zhi sighed slightly and said: "Dean Li, I asked you to come here today mainly to review this case. You also know that our Dali Temple does not have the power to investigate. Logically speaking, this case should be transferred to
You Judicial Yuan, but the current evidence is extremely unfavorable to Li Xian, and you are Li Xian’s father. If you leave it to the Judicial Yuan to investigate, no matter what the result is, I believe no one will be convinced. Therefore, I just talked to Dean Mao
We have also discussed that we hope that the case can be handed over to the Yushitai for investigation. It’s not that we don’t believe you, we only do this for the sake of fairness. I hope you can understand.”
Li Gang was stunned for a while, nodded and said: "This is what it should be. It should be. Chen Yushi, I'll trouble you."
Chen Dongdao: "Dean Li, please rest assured, I will definitely deal with it impartially. If it had not been done by Young Master Ling, I will definitely give Young Master Ling justice."
"Thank you. Thank you very much."
Li Gang said hurriedly.
Zhao Zhi added: "Dean Li, although the case has not yet been decided, the situation is very unfavorable to Mr. Ling. When the case was being tried, there were many people listening. I believe it will spread throughout the capital soon. You can
Be prepared, it will definitely damage the reputation of the Judicial Yuan. Moreover, there will definitely be people in the DPRK and China using this matter to criticize you."
Li Gang became even more depressed upon hearing this, and nodded absently.
Zhao Zhi was not mistaken. This good thing would spread thousands of miles without going out. In one day, the news that the son of the judicial president was plotting sex and murder spread throughout the capital. Moreover, the Times Weekly and Confucian Daily of the Song Dynasty specially published it.
Of course, they only reported the matter and did not conclude that Li Xian was the murderer. However, the people subconsciously believed that Li Xian was the murderer. The news spread all the time.
The terrible thing is that Li Gang is the president of the Judicial Yuan, which makes the whole matter even more sensitive. The son of the president of the Judicial Yuan is seeking sex and murder. Listen, how ironic this is!
It's impossible for Li Gang to stay out of the matter!
The Judicial Yuan has also been implicated. This may be the biggest crisis of trust that the Judicial Yuan has encountered since its establishment.
As the president of the Judicial Yuan, Li Gang was supposed to be fair and just. However, he offended many princes and nobles. This time they found an opportunity. In the court, they began to violently attack Li Gang and asked Li Gang to resign.
The position of President of the Judicial Yuan.
I have to say that Li Gang's fate was really bumpy, and his official career was not smooth at all.
As prime minister, Qin Hui immediately convened a high-level meeting. This was no small matter. The Judicial Yuan played a very important role in the current system of the Song Dynasty. This matter threatened the reputation of the Judicial Yuan and must be handled carefully.
Zhongshu Province.
In addition to Qin Hui, Zhao Zhi, Chen Dong, Mao Shu, Zheng Yi, Li Gang, deputy privy envoy Li Guang, and Su Bai, a bachelor of Xianzheng Palace, were among them.
The Grand Bachelor of Xianzheng Palace is the secretary-general of the emperor. Generally speaking, his power is very great. However, due to Zhao Kai's system reform, the power of the Grand Bachelor has been sharply reduced. However, after all, he is the person next to the emperor, and no one has it.
People dare to ignore him, but Su Bai is cautious and knows the current situation in the court. He has never participated in the battles of these ministers. Now that Zhao Kai is away, Su Bai has to stand up because he must
You know everything that happened in the DPRK. If Zhao Kai comes back and doesn't know anything about it, then you are very unqualified as Secretary-General.
Qin Hui said: "I believe everyone should know that the reason why I asked you to come here today is for the Meilin Village case. However, we are not here to try the case. The outcome of this case is not within the scope of our discussion.
It is a matter of the Yushitai. We mainly need to find ways to restore the reputation of the Judicial Yuan. Nowadays, there are rumors among the people. This has seriously damaged the reputation of the Judicial Yuan. The reputation of the Judicial Yuan was jointly established by the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. We
We must not let the efforts of the Emperor and us go to waste."
Mao Shu said: "The case is still under trial and the results have not yet come out. If we are discussing this now, wouldn't it tell the people that Li Xian is the murderer? This is extremely unfair to both Li Xian and Dean Li."
Su Bai suddenly said: "You can't say that. People's words are terrible. Qin Shaozai's worries are by no means trivial. If the result is not good for the Judicial Yuan, it will be too late to think of a solution by then.
, we should come up with countermeasures as soon as possible."
Zheng Yidao: "But the results haven't been released for a day, so what can we do to stop everyone's speech? Now with freedom of speech, we can't restrict what people say at all."
Qin Hui sighed and said: "Yes, this matter is really difficult. It would be much easier if the Privy Councilor was here. He is the best at this. Unfortunately, the Privy Councilor is far away in Yanyun now. This is far away.
You can’t save the fire that’s close to you.”
Li Gang suddenly stood up and said: "As long as I resign as president of the Judicial Yuan, the reputation of the Judicial Yuan can be preserved."
Zheng Yi said hurriedly: "Dean Li, don't be arrogant. The emperor has said that he will not blame his father for his son's fault. Moreover, the results have not yet come out. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to resign as dean at this time?"
It’s self-inflicted.”
Su Bai said: "But the emperor also said that if the son's fault affects the father's reputation, it will also affect the father's career. If Dean Li resigns as the president of the Judicial Yuan, the people will point the finger at Dean Li.
As an individual, not the Judicial Yuan, it is not a bad idea to abandon the car to protect the commander."
The sentence "abandoning the car to save the commander-in-chief" fully reflects the cruelty of politics.
The implication is that you, Li Gang, take the blame back home and don't implicate the Judicial Yuan.
Mao Shu said: "But according to our dynasty's system, the president of the Second Academy must be personally appointed by the emperor, and no one can remove the president of the Second Academy except the emperor."
Zhao Zhi said cautiously: "Otherwise, we should send someone to ask the emperor for instructions."
Qin Hui shook his head and said: "No, no, the emperor is concentrating on the battle against Yanyun. It is inherently dangerous. We are incompetent and cannot help relieve the emperor's worries, but we cannot cause the emperor troubles."
The rest of the people nodded, but they could not disturb the emperor.
Qin Hui added: "In fact, personally, I believe that Dean Li's son will never do this, but at present we must try our best to eliminate the negative impact on the Judicial Yuan. So I think that Su Dajun's abandonment of the car to save the commander-in-chief
It’s not impossible, and we don’t have anything better to do at the moment.”
This old fox eats people without spitting out bones. Zheng Yi, who has always been relatively well-mannered, couldn't help but swear in his heart. He sneered and said: "Qin Shaozai is a little too impatient. It's only been a while, and things haven't reached the point where we need to give up."
I guess Che Baoshuai is the best."
Qin Hui said: "Three ministers, people's words are terrible. If this spreads from ten to ten, it will spread all over the country soon. Then the local judicial courts will also be affected. We must respond as soon as possible. But we can't
If you don’t delay any longer, if the Third Division gives you a better idea, feel free to tell me."
Zheng Yi was speechless for a while. He wanted to have a better way. He had already said it before, secretly thinking, it would be great if the Privy Council was here. Oh, it turns out that he just made a pun. Far water cannot save a near fire. This fire refers to the fundamentals.
It's not the Judicial Yuan, but Li Gang.
"Since no one has a better way, then---."
Having said this, Qin Hui turned to look at Li Gang.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from outside: "The Queen has arrived."
Qin Hui and others were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up.
With a creak, the door opened, and the queen walked in from the outside. Although she was a queen, she was dressed very frugally. There was no gold or silver jewelry from head to toe, and all the hairpins on her head were wooden hairpins, because Zhao Kai
Advocating frugality, as a queen, you can naturally set an example. Unlike the queens of the Qing Dynasty, who had to carry several strings of huge pearls, and how many pearls they could get. Maybe the queen of the Qing Dynasty had cervical spondylitis most often, and concubines were really asking for it.
Suffer it.
"The humble minister meets the queen."
"No gifts, no gifts."
The queen stretched out her jade arms lightly and said with a smile, "I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"How dare, how dare."
Qin Hui hurriedly moved his seat and said, "Queen, please take a seat."
The queen raised her hand and said with a slight smile: "This is the Ministry of Education, not my bedroom. You should not sit in this seat, I can sit next to it." As she said this, she walked straight to a seat on the left and sat down.
, then pressed his hands and said: "You all should sit down too."
"yes."
Qin Hui and others took their seats one by one.
Seeing that they were silent, the Queen smiled softly and said, "Were you talking about Meilin Village just now?"
Qin Hui nodded and said: "That's right, the Queen came here because of this matter."
The queen nodded and said: "Since the establishment of the Second Courtyard, it has helped the Emperor share a lot of troubles and solve many problems. Therefore, the Emperor values the Second Courtyard very much and often told me that the Second Courtyard can help us move the Song Dynasty to an unprecedented dynasty.
A height that has never been reached in the past. Therefore, after I heard about this, I was very worried. I was afraid of disturbing you and didn't plan to come here, but I still couldn't hold it back. I don't know if it's right or wrong. By the way, I don't know if you can
Come up with a countermeasure?"
Qin Hui looked around and saw no one spoke, so he had to say: "Reporting to the queen, the best way we have discussed so far is to abandon the car to save the commander."
"Abandon the car to save the handsome man?"
The queen was startled when she heard this.
Li Gang suddenly knelt down on the ground, saluted and said: "Wei Chen has not done well to teach his son, which has brought shame on the emperor and has betrayed the emperor's trust. He is unswervingly responsible. Wei Chen is willing to resign as the president of the Judicial Yuan."
"Hey, Dean Li, please come quickly."
The queen personally stretched out her hand to help Li Gang up, and said with a surprised look on her face: "Is this case really done by Master Ling?"
Zhao Zhi replied: "The case is still under review."
The queen asked again: "Is it under review or delayed?"
The implication is to ask whether the results have not come out, or whether the results have come out, and you are just hiding it and delaying it.
Chen Dongdao: "Reporting to the queen, the minister has just taken over the case and is preparing to launch an investigation."
The Queen was stunned and said: "In that case, where does this unshirkable responsibility begin, Dean Li? Do you already know that this case was committed by Young Master Ling?"
Li Gang hurriedly shook his head and said: "Weichen firmly believes that Quanzi will never kill anyone, but no matter what, the Judicial Yuan is ashamed of Weichen. Weichen is really unworthy of the emperor."
"I see, you really scared me to death."
The queen smiled and said, "You can sit down first."
Li Gang couldn't figure out the queen's psychology, so he sat down obediently.
The queen smiled at Qin Hui and others: "I have some suggestions, I wonder if I can tell them?"
You are the queen, who dares not to let you speak? Qin Hui said hurriedly: "Queen, please enlighten me."
"I really don't dare to give you advice. This matter is not my business. I am just making suggestions. As for whether to adopt them or not, it is up to you to decide." The Queen smiled slightly and then said seriously: "I thought it was not to be said that the case has not yet been decided.
, even if the verdict is passed, Dean Li should not be punished. As for abandoning the car to protect the commander, it is really inappropriate. In fact, both the common people and you are the emperor's subjects, and they are all equally important in the emperor's heart.
When the Legislative Yuan was first established, it was clearly stipulated that family members of criminals cannot be implicated at will, unless there are special cases. Since they are all the emperor's subjects, the court cannot treat them differently. I think the most convincing thing about the law is its fairness.
You can't say that Dean Li is a minister of the DPRK and treat him specially, unless it is found that Dean Li is also involved. Otherwise, I don't think it is a good idea to let Dean Li take responsibility for everything. If this is the case, then he
The Japanese court has another excuse to kill people. This rule will be self-defeating and inconsistent with the emperor's idea of ruling the country by law. If it is just a private dispute and you have wronged your own family, it is okay, but this is a criminal case. We
Judgments should be made in full compliance with the laws passed by the Legislative Yuan."
Qin Hui said: "What the Queen said is true, but the problem we face is not the case itself, but the credibility of the Judicial Yuan. Now people are talking about this matter, but it seems that more people are willing to believe that Li Xian is the murderer. This
It has seriously affected the credibility of President Li. If the imperial court finds a countermeasure, the people will question the Judicial Yuan. This will be very detrimental to the development of the Judicial Yuan and even affect the local area. It is more likely to abandon the car to save the commander.
I want to maintain the credibility of the Judicial Yuan instead of targeting President Li, unless---."
The Queen said: "Unless what?"
Qin Hui said: "Unless the judgment is made as soon as possible and then the law is enforced impartially, the people will naturally eliminate their doubts about the Judicial Yuan."
Li Gang stood up and said: "I can not be the president of the Judicial Yuan, but I can never force Quanzi to plead guilty. Now the case has not been investigated clearly, how can it be judged easily."
Chen Dong also said: "I am also opposed to this. This is simply a blasphemy against the law."
Qin Hui said: "But the key to the law is whether anyone believes it. If the people don't believe in the Judicial Yuan, then there is no point in ruling the country by law and sacrificing one person in exchange for the world's support for the law. I think this is acceptable.
, Didn’t the Privy Council also test the law by himself in Daming Mansion, and everyone saw the result, which made the people more convinced of the law, and the Privy Council also gained the respect of the people, instead of being insulted. If the verdict is made early, then the people will see Dean Li face
A biological son can also enforce the law impartially, so Dean Li will definitely gain the support of the people, which is not a bad thing for Dean Li. Moreover, the current evidence points to Li Xian, and there is no evidence to prove that the case is not Li Xian's.
What he did and the verdict he received is also convincing."
He is feminine by nature and good at calculations. His words are full of hidden arrows, which makes it difficult for people to guard against. His words may seem reasonable, but in fact he wants to kill Li Gang and force him to abdicate. This tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. Li Gang
How could he let his son bear this unidentified crime in order to protect his official position? Moreover, even if he had the heart to abandon his son, the Li family might be reviled for it. It would be extremely cruel to let Li Gang have people around him.
.
Li Gang was furious. You are going to kill my son. It's a good thing for me. You are too much of a bully. It's his fault. If it were Li Qi, he would have to kill Qin Hui's son first. Of course, Qin Hui has no absolute guarantee.
Even though he was sure to defeat Li Qi, he did not dare to touch Li Qi's family because Qin Hui knew Li Qi too well. If you wanted to touch Li Qi's family, he might really let the imperial army confiscate your home. But at this time, Li Gang
Already in a state of chaos, he didn't know how to refute, so he said with a firm expression: "If it is really Quanzi who did it, I would be willing to be the executioner myself and kill the evildoer with my own hands, but if Quanzi did not do it, I will never let Quanzi suffer injustice."
The injustice, this life is small, but the reputation is great."
The queen hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't argue anymore, Dean Li, don't get excited, let's sit down and talk." After Li Gang sat down, she continued: "Qin Shaozai is also here for
He thinks about the country, and what he said is very reasonable. This is indeed a problem. After all, people’s words can be feared, and some things should be based on the overall situation.”
When Li Gang heard this, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up. If the queen agreed, then the matter would be a done deal.
The queen pondered for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion. Is it feasible?"
She is not a very powerful woman. Normally, she never interferes in political affairs. She sticks to her duties and takes care of everything in the harem, so that Zhao Kai can concentrate on handling government affairs. Therefore, when she faces ministers like Qin Hui
, she chooses her words carefully and expresses her opinions in a very implicit and humble way.
Although all the ministers in the court knew that although the queen had no rights and rarely interacted with the ministers in the court, she and Zhao Kai had shared the joys and sorrows in Fengxiang. Her status in Zhao Kai's heart was very high, and no one dared to go there.
offend her.
"Queen, please speak."
The Queen said: "After all, this case concerns President Li. Before the case is decided, letting President Li take charge of the Judicial Yuan will indeed arouse doubts and suspicions among the people. When the results come out, I am afraid it will be unconvincing.
Dean Li should also avoid suspicion at this time, so I suggest that Dean Li should not report illness and recuperate at home. After the case is over, if the result is good, then Dean Li will naturally return to the Judicial Yuan, even if the result is not good.
, then as Qin Shaozai said, as long as the judgment is resolutely carried out in accordance with the law, it will not affect Dean Li."
"I agree."
Zheng Yi said immediately.
Mao Shu, Zhao Zhi and others also nodded.
Qin Hui's eyes flashed for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Good advice to you, Queen. I have learned a lesson from you."
"Young Master, please don't say that, don't make people laugh." The queen waved her hands and said: "What I said today is just out of concern. In this regard, all of you are better than me, so you just have to
You need to refer to my suggestion. As for whether to adopt it in the end, I still say the same thing. When you make a decision, don’t take special care of me because I am the queen. The right thing is to not seek political affairs if you are not in my position. Okay, I will first
Farewell, if you have made a decision, all you need to do is send someone to inform me. Like the Emperor, I trust your judgment very much."
After saying that, she left.
Zheng Yi, Mao Shu and others all looked at Qin Hui.
Qin Hui glanced at everyone, smiled softly and said: "I very much agree with the queen's opinion, what do you think?"
