Chapter 3237 The storm is strange
Although Cen Wenwen didn't know whether Wei Zhengju was dead or not, and what his life and death had to do with the prince, he subconsciously realized that "Baiqisi" could not be allowed to be involved in such cases. On the one hand, it is to maintain the supreme judicial status of the Three Law Divisions, and on the other hand, we absolutely do not want to see anyone trying to grab the "Baiqisi" first, and then from the "Baiqisi" to His Highness the Crown Prince.
The empire has developed to this day, and it can be said that everything is prosperous, and the people are prosperous and the country is strong. What is needed is no longer the arbitrary leadership of the past, breaking and then establishing, but a smooth transition of power.
Stability is better than anything else.
This is not to say that the position of the crown prince cannot be changed, but even if it is to be changed, it can only be changed step by step under the will of His Majesty, without causing any turmoil in the government, otherwise it is very likely to cause a catastrophe.
At present, His Majesty is still fighting in Liaodong, but someone in the court is vaguely pointing the finger at the prince again. How can Cen Wenwen sit back and watch something like this happen?
Protecting the prince is political correctness.
Even if "Baiqisi" really punished Wei Zhengju to death with excessive punishment, even if the prince deliberately favored "Baiqisi" and regarded human life as nothing...
……
Although Cen Wenwen did not have the support of any aristocratic family behind him, and he was not as powerful as Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji, he was too senior, too senior, and too prestigious. This time he spoke harshly against Liu Ji, which was not the case at all. Showing mercy, Liu Jie only bowed slightly and didn't say a word to refute.
This look fell in Li Chengqian's eyes, and he understood Liu Jie's temperament. This must be a deal between Liu Jie and others. He received the benefits but was only responsible for supporting Wei Ting in the court. But what happened The success or failure is not within the responsibility...
This old guy!
Li Chengqian came to understand more and more why Fang Jun had always disliked this person. He was really a profit-seeking person with absolutely no character.
Moreover, although this old man has been promoted to the position of Attendant, his relative, Yushi Zhongcheng, has not yet been appointed. With his qualifications and status in the Yushitai, he is enough to have a great influence on the Yushitai. Once the "Hundred Cavalry Division" is excluded, the case will be accepted by the Sanfa Division, and it is impossible to do this deal with others again...
Li Chengqian was extremely angry and depressed. How could such a shameless person occupy a high position in the court and become one of the prime ministers and assistants?
What a disgrace to the empire!
Li Chengqian suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, and asked: "Dali Temple is in charge of the imperial punishment and investigation. This time, Sun Siqing will shoulder the heavy responsibility, together with the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai solve the case . The situation in the DPRK is turbulent, and there are many people with ulterior motives who are secretly plotting their evil intentions. I hope Sun Siqing will be fair and honest, make the truth of this case known to the world, punish evil, promote good, and support justice!"
These words were a bit serious. Sun Fujia quickly stepped out and bowed: "Wei Chen takes the edict! Please rest assured, Your Highness, Wei Chen only sees national laws and regulations, good and evil, good and evil, upholds the justice of the law, punishes evil and promotes good." It is the foundation of our existence, no matter who or what happens, it cannot be shaken even a little bit!”
The rain is about to come and the undercurrent is raging. This is the time to take a stand. Sun Fuga has never participated in any court disputes and is only loyal to His Majesty Li Er. Since the prince is appointed by your majesty, and your majesty has not yet deposed the prince, being loyal to the prince means being loyal to your majesty.
He is only loyal to the prince, no matter who sits on the throne...
Liu Jie, who seemed to have died down after being scolded by Xiao Yu, then said: "Your Highness, I heard that the Commander-in-Chief of Baiqisi opened the city gate before dawn and went straight to Xingqing Palace to see Your Highness. I wonder if he talked about Wei Zheng. Or... is it about Wei Zhengju’s life and death? ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhengdian suddenly became silent and silent. Everyone stared at Li Chengqian to see how he would answer.
Li Chengqian simply hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Li Junxian came to the city to pay homage to Wei Zhengju. In the early hours of the morning, Wei Zhengju was escorted to Baiqisi, and Li Junxian ordered He was imprisoned in the execution room, but before being tortured, Wei Zhengju was already poisoned and died. An autopsy on his body found that he had been fed poison before he was sent to Baiqisi. "
There was an uproar in Li Zhengdian.
According to the prince's wishes, not only was Wei Zhengju really dead, but he was also murdered, and he wanted to put the blame on "Baiqisi"?
In today's world, there are still people who dare to frame "Hundred Qisi"?
This is His Majesty Li Er's minions. If someone really does this, it is a blatant attempt to challenge the authority of the Crown Prince to supervise the country. If this matter is not handled properly, the "Baiqisi" will be deeply involved in the crime of murdering good people, and the Crown Prince's majesty Will suffer great losses.
After all, the "Hundred Knights" are the eagle dogs of the imperial power. Now that the prince oversees the country, the "Hundred Knights" are ordered to assist the prince, but they are framed and disgraced. This shows that the prince's ability is really worrying, and it is not enough to frighten the people and dominate the world. ……
Now, everyone finally understands why Xiao Yu tried his best to separate "Baiqisi" from Wei Zhengju's case. If "Baiqisi" participated in the review of Wei Zhengju's case, even if it turns out that "Baiqisi" was framed, who would believe it?
As a law enforcer, he is the biggest suspect. This is really hard to convince the public...
But if the Three Laws Division intervenes, it will be completely different. The Three Laws Division was the highest judicial organ in the Tang Dynasty. It had great power and could try all the illegal affairs of all the civil servants, military officers, nobles and nobles under the king. Moreover, the previous chiefs of the Three Laws Division were all upright and upright people, making the Three Laws Division as prestigious as Mount Tai. Serious, no one dares to slander.
Sun Fujia was even more upright, impartial and strict. Once the Three Law Division confirmed that "Baiqisi" had nothing to do with Wei Zhengju's death, but was framed by others, it would be tantamount to immediately clearing "Baiqisi" from suspicion, and the prince's prestige It will be safe and sound.
However, there is only one thing wrong. With Liu Jie's completely abnormal attitude at the moment, who knows whether it will hinder him?
After all, although Yushitai is not a law enforcement department, it is the number one supervisory office in the world. It has a transcendent status among the Three Laws Division and has a great influence on Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. As the "former Yushi Zhongcheng", Liu Ji has great control over the Yushitai. If he bends his butt... things will be beyond imagination.
Wei Ting was still kneeling on the ground, and his head, which had taken off his black gauze and crown, was already completely gray. First, his wife died violently, and now he saw the death of a leader in his clan. His expression was haggard, sorrowful, and angry, which made people look down on him and pity him.
"Your Highness," Wei Ting paused and said in a sad tone: "Jingzhao Weishi has always been loyal and loyal, and is willing to be His Majesty's hawk and dog for driving. Who would have expected that such bad luck has happened one after another, which really makes the whole Wei family heartbroken. Filled with anger! I implore Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation to avenge Wei Zhengju and bring justice to the good people of the world."
Kneeling on the ground, crying.
In the previous episode, the first wife, the eldest son, was deceived by the eldest son's family and made a big mistake. She had no choice but to let the eldest son commit suicide by taking poison in order to save the family. Now that the most outstanding child in the clan has suffered another misfortune, how miserable is the fate of the entire clan? Moreover, both Changsun and Wei Zhengju had obviously become victims of others' struggles for power. This made Wei Ting even more sad and angry, as if there was a fire burning in his heart!
Li Chengqian didn't know if the Wei family was using a "bitter flesh trick", but at this moment he could only comfort him: "Don't worry, Feng Chang. Gu was ordered by his father to oversee the country, so how could he watch Xiao Xiao run rampant, ignore the law, and reverse ethics?" ? The case will be thoroughly investigated and justice will be given to the Wei family. No matter who is involved, they will be punished severely to set the right course!"
At this moment, the Crown Prince, who was always kind-hearted and kind-hearted, was really furious and furious!
Everyone has selfish desires. If he covets the position of crown prince and carries out some conspiracies and tricks, Li Chengqian can understand. Where in the world are there so many saints with pure hearts and few desires? Moreover, saints are not indifferent to the world and follow the crowd.
If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
However, at this moment, my father led his army to conquer Goguryeo, the Battle of Hexi has just ended, and the war in the Western Regions is raging. At this time when the empire is in crisis, he still insists on going his own way for his own selfish desires, regardless of the turmoil of the court, and thus stirs up trouble. This makes people feel This is unacceptable.
As the saying goes, "If the skin is not there, the hair will be attached." For the sake of their own selfish desires, they ignored the precarious and turbulent Tang Dynasty. The country was in danger of overthrowing, and the people could fall into dire straits at any time and at any time. Such people have no mercy in their hearts. There is no loyalty, and it is not an exaggeration to say "wolf ambition".
With a livid face, Li Chengqian glanced around at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "Let this matter be as it is for the time being. Sun Siqing will be responsible for it. The Third Law Department will intervene and strictly investigate the case of Wei Zhengju's sudden death. If there is any progress, he can enter the palace at any time to talk to Gu. Report and retreat.”
After saying this, he stood up and walked away without waiting for the courtesy from the important ministers.
The ministers looked at each other, knowing that His Royal Highness, who had always been good-tempered, was really angry today...
Li Chengqian returned to the back hall and just sat down when he saw the chamberlain coming forward and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, the two princesses have returned from the Jiuwei Mountain Forbidden Garden and said they have something to report..." (End of Chapter)
