Chapter 1422: Fighting in vain
Fang Jun didn't even look at Qiu Shenji, but looked at Guo Fushan and others beside him and said: "This wolf defied the imperial court and attacked the military headquarters, injuring dozens of soldiers, and insulting the officials without regard for the emperor. It is a heinous crime that cannot be defended. I, the officer twist it He will be sent to Dali Temple and punished in accordance with the national law. You are all officials of the Ministry of War. It will be embarrassing for everyone if this matter is exposed. Therefore, I suggest that we jointly request Dali Temple to sentence him severely. 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, wouldn’t you become a villain who takes advantage of others? Then don't hang out in the Ministry of War yamen anymore.
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 who 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 punish him severely!
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. Yelling, all the bones in the body seemed to be broken, and the 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. I can comfort the injured soldiers and say that I will definitely seek justice for everyone."
Everyone said yes again and again.
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: "Don't worry, Erlang, I will do it properly, so that Erlang can get 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... Oops! Don’t kick me, I’m 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 punishments and prisons, Dali Temple was set up as a reexamination agency to achieve "no injustice in prison".
Outside of Jingzhao Mansion, any death penalty verdict in any yamen must be reviewed by Dali Temple. Of course, everyone knows that it is not easy to "expose the law through reasoning", "the punishment must be the crime", and "the prison is not unjust"...
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, once those senior officials who were not qualified to be tried by local officials and 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, watching Fang Junyi stand 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... and then looked at Qiu Shenji who was tied up like a dead dog with blood on his face, Sun Fujia's brain ached for a while.
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. consequences.
However, facing Fang Jun and Qiu Shenji, Sun Fujia was the leader of the two...
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 there is a fight with Xini, we have to figure out the cause and effect first. Who is causing trouble and who is suffering the loss must be understood. Otherwise, these two guys are both 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 broken right leg. Shoulder dislocation…
The more pain in my body, the more angry I felt in my heart. The guy scratched his neck and said angrily: "I went back 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 There must be a charter, right? Just leave me alone and bully me. Is that a soft persimmon or something?”
Sun Fujia frowned, feeling unhappy.
You keep saying "I", who are you telling it to?
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 coldly: "Qiu Duwei, please be careful when speaking. This is the Dali Temple's headquarters, not the other places like those in 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, not only did he not listen to my officer's dissuasion, he wounded dozens of soldiers. He even made rude remarks to slander the Ministry of War, despised the imperial court, and even Your Excellency Zhimu Wujun! Now that I have arrived at Dali Temple, I am still so fearless in front of Sun Siqing... It is really lawless and evil! I ask Sun Siqing to uphold justice and bring this beast to justice. To maintain the reputation of the Ministry of War.”
Qiu Shenji was immediately furious and cursed: "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. You delayed arranging an official position for me. Instead, you gave me an innocent face. See?”
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 rampant 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, Then the official went to Chengtianmen to kowtow in front of His Majesty! Otherwise, where would the dignity of the Ministry of War be, the dignity of the court, and the power of the Tang Dynasty?”
Sun Fuga asked back: "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, this matter can naturally be solved.
This matter clearly seemed to be caused by some trouble between the two dandies, 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 online...
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 Qiu Shenji’s actions 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 response to the will of all the officials of the Ministry of War, we went to Chengtianmen to kowtow and petition, asking your Majesty to open our eyes 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 also beat someone with injuries all over his body. Is it possible that the beating was in vain?" (End of Chapter)
