Chapter 180: Forcing the Palace


"Saints" Zhang Changzong was in tears, he was really scared, even if he was ignorant, he also understood what the result would be once he was charged with rebellion, in the past 20 years, there have been too many people whose families have been ruined because of "rebellion".

Wu Zetian couldn't bear to let him continue to be afraid, and said: "Now it seems that that Li Hongtai is clearly the one who deliberately colluded with someone to lure you in.

However, now that this matter has been made known to everyone, I can't just be good, the law of the country is ruthless, and I can only be handed over to trial. ” Zhang Changzong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "Sage, the hundred officials can't wait for the ministers to die early, if the sage sends the ministers to the law department, the ministers will have no chance of survival." ” Wu Zetian said slowly: "I will order Wei Chengqing, the servant of the heavenly officials, and Cui Shenqing, the secretary of the criminal department, to try this case together with Song Jing and the three of them in the imperial history. ” Shangguan Wan'er listened, and a light flashed in her eyes.

The "saint" Zhang Changzong still refused to get up, and begged, "The minister would rather let the saint interrogate in person." ” Wu Zetian turned his head and muttered, "Don't mess around, I will send someone to pay attention to the progress of the case at any time." ” Zhang Changzong had no choice but to kowtow and retreat.

Wu Zetian waved his hand lightly again, and Wan'er bowed in a knowing way and quietly retreated.

Quietly, Wu Zetian's reaction spread out of the court, Yang Fan was stunned for a long time after knowing the news, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "In the past, when fighting for and maintaining her emperor's throne, even if her biological son got in her way, she would eradicate it mercilessly.

Regarding the crime of rebellion, she has always preferred to kill the wrong person rather than let it go.

Therefore, I thought that this crime was enough to put two Zhang to death, I was wrong about the current Wu Cao, it is no longer the original Wu Cao" Yang Fan knew Wu Zetian's attitude, and Princess Taiping naturally knew it quickly.

When Princess Taiping learned of her mother's attitude towards Zhang Changzong's rebellion, her expression suddenly became extremely strange.

She didn't speak, just sat like that, and sat for a long time, tears gradually shining in her eyes.

Mr.

Mo Da sat on the side and noticed the strange expression of Princess Taiping, but even if he was as skilled as him, he couldn't guess Princess Taiping's state of mind at the moment: why she was confused at first when she heard the news, and then burst into tears Mr.

Mo Da was secretly speculating, and Princess Taiping's gaze gradually turned into anger and hatred.

Under her tears, it was like a fire was pregnant When Princess Taiping heard the news, her heart was full of sadness, and even endless anger.

She couldn't understand why her mother doted so much on Zhang Changzong, who was too young than her grandson.

It is difficult to hide this strategy from Wu Zetian's eyes, especially Zhang Changzong has always been by Wu Zetian's side, it is difficult to hide from Wu Zetian with his Taoism, Wu Zetian has long known his personality and ability, and knows that he cannot be opposed, but she doesn't know anything about her son-in-law Back then, the three brothers of the Xue family participated in the anti-martial arts case, she clearly knew that Xue Shao was wronged, why she refused to spare his life, her daughter held the young child and knocked on the court to ask for her life, fainted in front of the palace, she was unmoved, and now she is so reasonable and magnanimous to that Zhang Changzong Princess Taiping gritted her silver teeth with hatred, originally she was determined to deal with Erzhang in order to avoid variables in the process of Li Tang regaining power, but now Wu Zetian's unconditional trust and protection of Zhang Changzong aroused her jealousy: her biological mother was so protective of an outsider, but cruel and ruthless jealousy and hatred for her flesh and blood relatives "I'm not going to put up with it anymore" Princess Taiping stood up with her ten fingers, and the back of her palm was white with the bone joints: "This time, if I can't let Erzhang give the head, then I will not hesitate to use any means, what the emperor is unwilling to do, I will do it" Mo Yuhan's heart moved, and he said hesitantly: "I'm afraid the prince" Princess Taiping Huo Ran looked at him, and stopped what Mr.

Mo was about to say next with her fierce gaze, and she said word by word: "Whether he is the crown prince or the emperor, no one will want to stop me again, this is the justice I should repay."

Wei Chengqing is a heavenly official squire, a high and powerful position, and the first person designated by the Son of Heaven, so it is natural that he should serve as the presiding judge, and Cui Shenqing, the secretary of the criminal department, and Song Jing, the middle of the imperial history, will be the jury.

Wei Chengqing and Cui Shenqing were promoted only by running the second door, and they were under the second door, how could they embarrass Zhang Changzong, as soon as Zhang Changzong came to the court, Wei Chengqing ordered someone to watch the seat with a pleasant face.

Although the big crime of rebellion has not yet been decided, there is no reason to sit in the seat, but he is the chief judge, and Song Jing doesn't want to get entangled in these details, so he pinched his nose and endured it.

But the next so-called trial was simply a farce, Wei Chengqing asked Zhang Changzong with a smile and asked Zhang Changzong about his daily routine, and then roughly understood how he claimed to be the Son of Heaven, and said: "Li Hongtai's words are really rebellious, although the Duke of the Kingdom is only a joke, he must have reported to the Son of Heaven afterwards."

Song Jing felt that it was wrong when he heard it, wasn't this a confession and it was a confession from a favorable angle to the suspect, Song Jing immediately stopped it, and said sharply: "Wei Shilang, this is very inappropriate." ” In fact, Wei Chengqing overestimated Zhang Changzong's political IQ, he hinted so obviously, Zhang Changzong couldn't hear it at all, he was naturally proficient in Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, but he didn't know anything about politics and law, and he didn't understand whether he had told the Son of Heaven what it meant.

If Wei Chengqing just hinted, he would have to say ignorantly: "No, my father-in-law often tells jokes in front of the emperor, but although Li Hongtai's words are a joke, they are used by him to make sycophants, and my father-in-law doesn't think it's funny." ” But Song Jing was so nervous, Zhang Changzong couldn't see a little look, he knew that Song Jing was going to kill him, and Wei Chengqing was his helper, since Song Jing was against it, then it would definitely be right for him to do it.

Relying on this simple method of analysis, Zhang Changzong responded with a heartfelt response: "Yes, Changzong did say it to the Son of Heaven. ” Song Jing was furious and said sharply: "Who is the witness?"

Cui Shenqing, the secretary of the criminal department, immediately said: "Since Ye Guogong said that he knew with the Son of Heaven, then the witness is naturally today's son. ” Wei Chengqing bowed his head and said: "Then, this matter only needs to be confirmed by the Son of Heaven."

Since Ye Guogong once said these words as a joke to the Son of Heaven, then he is guilty and surrendered, and the citation should be reduced. ” Song Jing said loudly: "The crime of treason, how can it be exonerated according to the law because of his words, at least the relevant witnesses should be asked and the Changzong's mansion should be searched." ” Wei Chengqing's face sank, and he said: "When it is said that the people who go to the banquet are all princes and ministers, if you want to detain them all here as witnesses, you just need to ask someone to ask them."

As for the search of the Prince's Mansion, since he cannot be convicted, who would have the courage to search the residence of a Prince?"

Cui Shenqing immediately said: "What Wei Shilang said is reasonable, now that the truth has been revealed, let's give it to the son of heaven first, and let the son of heaven decide." ” Wei Chengqing and Cui Shenqing sang and harmonized, and they controlled the entire trial at all, and Song Jing, as the supreme head of the imperial history and the supervision of hundreds of officials, couldn't say a word.

Wei Chengqing said to Song Jing, and said to Zhang Changzong very politely: "If you have wronged the Guogong, you will have to be detained for a while, and then you will be given the reason to the prince of tomorrow, and then you will be shocked by the wine." ” Zhang Changzong waved his hand and withdrew from the hall in a big way, only to rush Song Jing's anger into the crown.

Early the next morning, Wei Chengqing faced the monarch in the golden palace and recited to the emperor: "Zhang Changzong, the Duke of Ye Guo, was careless in his words, causing trouble, and in the eyes of the ministers, the warlock Li Hongtai did not know the taboos, and as a diner, he greeted the Lord with sycophants, and Ye Guogong just thought it was a joke, and he also sued the Son of Heaven after the ceremony, which is really not a big deal."

Your Majesty may punish him with three months' imprisonment as a punishment.

As for Li Hongtai, although he is a sycophant, he is a fallacy and deserves to be punished for his crimes, so he should be extorted from the world and brought to justice."

Wu Zetian Long Yan Dayue, just about to nod, in the imperial history, Cheng Song Jing had already come out, and said in a fierce voice: "Your Majesty, the warlock's fallacies are issued because of people, Zhang Changzong has repeatedly accepted favors, and his power is overwhelming, and there are warlocks and sycophants."

Thinking that Changzong, he was young, and he had no merit in the country and became the prince of the country, but he summoned a warlock, inseparable, what is the purpose of hiding evil intentions, plotting wrongdoing, and deserving of punishment."

Wu Zetian was furious and said in a deep voice: "Wei Chengqing and Cui Shenqing are both in charge, and this case has been decided."

As soon as the words fell, Cui Xuanhui, the waiter of Luantai, came out proudly and said loudly: "Your Majesty Wei Chengqing and Cui Shenqing were recommended by Ye Guogong and promoted, this matter is known to the world, their verdict is difficult to ensure justice, according to legal principles, try Zhang Changzong's crime, these two ministers should be recused, so I respectfully ask Your Majesty to retry this case."

Wu Zetian endured his anger and said: "Qing presides over Luantai, he doesn't know the law, and he retreats."

Cui Xuanhui stood tall and did not retreat, and Huan Yanfan, the criminal Shaoqing, walked out of the class again, and said loudly: "Wei Chengqing and Cui Shenqing were recommended and promoted by Zhang Changzong, if Zhang Changzong is guilty, he will also be implicated."

If we share weal and woe, it is difficult to guarantee our justice.

The minister also asked His Majesty to retry the case. ” As soon as Wu Zetian said that Cui Xuanhui didn't understand the law, he jumped out and blocked Wu Zetian's mouth at once.

Wei Chengqing and Cui Xuanhui are both a servant, and Cui Shenqing is the secretary of the department, and Huan Yanfan, who jumped out to challenge him, is the secretary of the department and his deputy.

Cui Xuanhui and Huan Yanfan openly challenged the two of them, which was already tearing their faces and not seeking coexistence at all.

Wu Zetian took a long breath and said loudly: "Zhang Changzong has already surrendered to me, and he should be commuted from his crimes. ” The words of the Son of Heaven are not always the words of the law, since ancient times, I thought that how many emperors who had fallen by the monarch's power, the words they said could not play any role at all, but Wu Zetian was an extremely strong emperor, when she was not yet the emperor, her every word was like a holy decree, and no one dared to disobey it, but today Today, the officials from the major factions are unanimously reversed, and the spearhead has been directly pointed at the Son of Heaven.
