Chapter 1180 Second Master, please stop writing...
Zhang Yunji said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is willing to let Erlang plead guilty, but he is forced by the situation and has to do so. Among the many pieces of evidence collected by the Ministry of Punishment, it is easy to explain other things, but the jade pendant cannot be explained... Since it cannot be explained... Legally speaking, Erlangyi If he is innocent, how can he take this opportunity to catch all the officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Yushitai, etc. who secretly helped Wei Yijie, and restore the bright sky to the Tang Dynasty? In this way, even if Erlang is deeply wronged, he still has a revenge and gets revenge? Get what you want..."
Fang Jun wanted to curse: I got what I wanted with a hammer!
His Majesty Li Er has been silent all this time, but this is his idea?
It stands to reason that this is a good idea. Once Fang Jun pleads guilty, the big bosses hiding behind the scenes must think that the overall situation has been decided, and they will jump out and beat Fang Jun, the lost dog. Just in time, His Majesty Li Er grabbed them one by one, and they caught the painful foot. , it will definitely be rectified in the future.
As for Fang Jun, there is no need to worry. It is naturally impossible to "kill him" or something like that. The worst case is that he will be expelled from the army and sent to the army. With Fang Jun's status and talent, coupled with the emperor's guilt-ridden support and protection, it would not take ten or eight years for him to return to the center again. It would be impossible to become the prime minister, but having the power on one side would not be a problem.
It cannot be said that he is not tactful.
Of course, if the premise of all this is not Fang Jun's confession, Fang Jun still thinks it's pretty good...
But now that he is being stained for nothing, how can he be willing to do so?
But he also knew that this extremely strange jade pendant had become his Achilles heel. Not to mention that outsiders could not exonerate him on this point, even he himself could not explain it...
How did this jade pendant end up in Changsun Dan's hands, and why would he still hold on to it until he died?
Damn it...
Liu Dewei did not tell Fang Jun about this, but told Zhang Yunji. It can be seen that Liu Dewei is trying his best to win over the latter at this stage. This is a small achievement. If things are done well, Zhang Yunji's benefits will naturally be indispensable when His Majesty Li Er rewards him based on his merits.
Zhang Yunji finished what Liu Dewei said and said softly: "Erlang, you can think carefully, but I think that since it is His Majesty's will, you don't need to worry. Anyway, Your Majesty can still treat you badly? Haha, I will retire first." .”
After saying that, he stood up and left briskly.
Fang Jun was left sighing in the cell with a look of unwillingness...
After a while, he sighed and made up his mind.
That jade pendant... is really an inexplicable existence. It is unrealistic to expect His Majesty Li Er to intervene in the judiciary and issue an imperial edict directly. In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, no one's status is as important as the stability of the court and the continuation of policies. Moreover, even if His Majesty Li Er is willing to interfere with the judiciary for his sake of breaking the law, he will probably be dismissed by those officials who claim to be upright and will never succumb to imperial power.
After all, the chief of Menxia Province is Wei Zheng, the "human mirror"...
Will a piece of jade pendant cut off all his chances of becoming a minister?
Fang Jun was extremely depressed. Even if this jade pendant had wings, it still couldn't be explained. Could it be that he had learned Sun Monkey's cloning technique?
Mother...
Sighing again, Fang Jun beckoned: "Bring the pen and paper quickly, I want to confess."
That's it...
Although it will be extremely difficult to become a prime minister or assistant in the future, there are no absolutes in the world. Who knows what direction the government will eventually develop? If Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne in the future, and someone close to him like Ma Zhou is in charge of the political affairs hall, he might also nominate himself as prime minister...
New trends come and go, and thoughts abound.
But after waiting for a long time, the paper and pen were still not available...
Fang Jun was already extremely depressed, and now he was even more annoyed. He slammed the table and shouted, "Where are the people? If you don't bring the paper and pen quickly, do you think we have to wait until someone breaks down your prison in the Ministry of Punishment?"
Before he finished speaking, two sounds of "Plop" and "Plop" came from behind him.
Fang Jun turned around and saw two jailers kneeling behind him, with tangled and sad faces...
Fang Jun was stunned: "What are you doing?"
One of the jailors swallowed his saliva, looked sad, and begged: "Fang Erlang... Fang Erye! I beg you, can we stop writing?"
Fang Jun: "...?"
Do I have tinnitus?
Aren't you the villains who persecute me and make me confess? How come I want to plead guilty now, but you won't let me confess?
Another jailer said anxiously: "Fangfu Yin... please spare us! We are just a small jailer, and we are like ants in your eyes. Why do you have to deal with us?"
Fang Jun became more and more confused: "As you said, why did I ever put you in trouble?"
As a time traveler from later generations, I have a sense of "human rights" that did not exist in this era. Although it is impossible to say that everyone is equal, there is absolutely no class ideology of this era with clear hierarchies and cruel oppression.
The first jailer had a grimace on his face: "Then... you took the pen and paper from left to right, but you never wrote a confession... Not only did you not write, you also always wrote poems... Wei Shilang was going crazy. Sorry, we have been told a thousand times not to give it to you again. Get a pen and paper... Don't lie to us. You can't write a confession at all, and you want to write a poem again, right? Wrote..."
Fang Jun: "...!"
What the hell, is this the Tang version of "The Wolf Cried"?
Another jailer was about to cry and begged: "Fangfu Yin, please have mercy on us. We have a ninety-year-old mother at home and a baby waiting to be fed. If we lose this job, the whole family will be in trouble." I'm going to starve to death..."
Fang Jun wanted to shout: I really want to write a confession!
But looking at the "I won't believe anything you say" looks on the faces of the two jailors in front of him, Fang Jun could only remain speechless.
Why is it so difficult to write a confession...
*****
The harsh winter is gradually fading away, and the cold wind blowing from the northern mountains is getting warmer day by day. The Qinchuan mountains and rivers in the eight hundred miles of Guanzhong are magnificent, and everything is sprouting with vigorous vitality.
Spring was already approaching, and scholars from various states gathered together. Together with the people who went to the Ministry of Justice to protest, the entire Chang'an City was crowded with people, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn. The guards of Suwei Palace, the military guards guarding the capital, and the patrols maintaining law and order... Teams of soldiers shuttled back and forth in the city, and their neat steps were like drums beating in people's hearts, and they were tense.
All the departments in the imperial court were in full operation, working overtime and not daring to be careless in the slightest. Scholars, common people, merchants... millions of people gathered in the city. A slight oversight would be a major event that could shake the empire. Who dares to ignore it?
Princess Changle's carriage drove into the house amidst the patrols of soldiers on the street...
In the back hall, Princess Gaoyang and the two little princesses Jinyang and Hengshan suddenly had red eyes when they saw Princess Changle wearing Taoist robes.
Princess Jinyang threw herself into Princess Changle's arms, called out "sister" sadly, and began to cry.
Princess Changle sighed slightly, caressed Princess Jinyang's head with her bare hands, and persuaded softly: "Why should Sizi blame himself? Although the prince's consort is in jail, his father still loves and protects him, and he will not let him suffer too much. It’s a grievance. Besides, I still have my husband here, so don’t worry.”
Sometimes she is quite confused about the relationship between Si Zi and Fang Jun.
The father-in-law has many children, most of the princesses are married, and there are more than a dozen consorts. But why could Sizi be so close to that black-faced Bangchui? Is it because Fang Jun would lead Si Zi to play from time to time, even if he was beaten and scolded by his father?
Princess Gaoyang lightly gathered her skirt and bowed down: "Shu'er has met my sister."
The etiquette cannot be discarded.
In fact, since she got married, she has become much closer to Princess Changle. In the past, when she was in the palace, although she was loved by His Majesty Li Er, she naturally could not be favored by the two princesses Changle and Jinyang who were like the apples of his eye, so it was inevitable that she would feel a little jealous in her heart...
But after getting married, this jealousy has long since disappeared.
Before, Princess Gaoyang was extremely dissatisfied with her marriage...
Who is Fang Jun? He is dull, stupid, and submissive. Apart from his strong body, how can he have any masculinity at all? Although his appearance is not bad, he is far different from the elegant gentleman that Princess Gaoyang dreams of. He is a black-faced god...
However, since the "violation" incident at Lishan Palace, Princess Gaoyang's impression of Fang Jun has completely changed...
God said: This book should have votes. So, you all voted...
