Feng Xing - Chapter 74

This is undoubtedly a hot potato, who dares to pick it up?

But what can I do if I don’t accept it?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, if they don’t answer, what will happen to Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

At this time, Zhao Anxian and the other three who were sitting in the first place hated Fang Fengsheng to death, why didn’t they say hello in advance, if they had known that this kind of thing would happen, they would all report sick at home. But after thinking about it again, this person has caused so many things, didn’t he just pick this kind of occasion, otherwise he would not talk about it sooner or later, and it just happened to be at this time.

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and lost their mind for a moment.

Fang Fengsheng was still kneeling below, apparently things were frozen here.

At this time, one of the officials who watched the trial at the first place spoke.

“My lord Zhao, my lord He, my lord Feng, what Fang Fengfu said is well-founded, and as a victim, he claims to have complete evidence, but I don’t think it’s a lie. Why are the three lords standing there in a daze? What’s the problem? “

“This…”

Another official said, “I didn’t expect that the majestic Dali Temple, the Criminal Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate would not dare to accept the case.”

“Who said we wouldn’t accept it? We were just a little distracted for a while! We haven’t brought up the things yet.” Zhao Anxian ordered the secretary to pick up the kraft paper bag, thinking that Fang Fengfu might not hand it over so easily, but he was very happy .

Thinking about what this person said just now, the evidence here is only part of it, and it seems that they have left behind.

The three of Zhao Anxian took the kraft paper bag and left together. They didn’t even dare to open it, and the other officials didn’t stay any longer. Feng Sheng returned to the room where she lived before, but compared to before, there were obviously twice as many guards, and she was not as pleasant as before, and she felt like she was being treated like a jackal.

got windy.

During the 30 years of Jianping’s court turmoil, because of Feng Sheng’s sudden arrival, another hurricane blew up. This time, it completely changed the situation in the court, which no one expected.

Just when Feng Sheng returned to that room and had another meal, the whole capital shook.

What happened in Dali Temple spread across the capital with such a swiftness that it was too late for people to cover it up.

Emperor Jianping was furious, Empress Chen was horrified, the prince was in a state of panic, and Elder Song Ge actually smashed a teacup in the cabinet, which is enough to show how restless his mood was.

No one in this world can really cover the sky with one hand, if there is one, then only Emperor Jianping. But even an emperor has a lot of helplessness and helplessness. The situation in the court is complicated, and the Lianghuai alone involves a lot. If Emperor Jianping wants to do something, he has to plan and plan again. move the whole body.

And the crown prince is the future heir, and it is related to the country and the country. If the crown prince has a lack of personal virtue and bad conduct, I am afraid that all courtiers will not want him to continue to sit in the position of crown prince.

Now someone is suing the prince in the joint trial of the three divisions, and his words are convincing, well-founded, and even involved a major case a few years ago.

For a time, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

Qing Palace

With a crisp sound, this was already the third teacup that Emperor Jianping had smashed.

Afterwards, the entire hall fell into a dead silence.

The eunuchs and maids on duty today are all trembling. After serving His Majesty for a long time, they know that when His Majesty is calmer, he will be more furious.

Emperor Jianping was furious not only about the prince, but because he only realized that he had followed the way of others.

Even at this time last year, he admired Fang Fengfu, a little-known little person, very much, otherwise he would not have ignored the opponent’s lack of fame and promoted him repeatedly. Maybe others don’t know, but Emperor Jianping knew that Lianghuai can have such a climate today, and this person owes a lot to him.

But how much I admired at that time, how much I hated it now.

The emperor has always been suspicious that such a small master’s son has planned such a grand plan. Even when Fang Fengsheng came into contact with Fan Jinchuan, he thought it was ulterior motives.

This person actually saw through that he had been dissatisfied with Lianghuai for a long time, and the reason why he has been slow to take action is that he was temporarily unable to do so, and Fan Jinchuan was just a **** he had laid in the past. The elders of Song Ge used the crown prince to manage the iron barrels of the two Huaihe Rivers. Only Fan Jinchuan, with his identity, would not arouse suspicion, and his temperament and character are just places that can be used.

He never expected that when he was drowsy and hit the pillow, Fan Jinchuan really played a big role, and Fang Fengfu officially came into his eyes. And this person’s various behaviors coincided with some of his thoughts, which made him feel happy when he saw his talents. But this kind of appreciation later turned into a kind of tolerant impatience when he repeatedly lost his sense of humor and touched something that shouldn’t be touched.

Thinking about it now, this person did that on purpose, but it is certain that someone behind the scenes is taking advantage of the troubled waters to take the opportunity to attack the prince, and he will definitely keep the prince, so he will definitely be brought into Beijing, even down to some details. It was only because of the right decision that today’s lawsuit against the prince happened in court.

The more Emperor Jianping thought about it, the colder his face became, and he felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Is this fear?

“Your Majesty, the empress is asking to see you.” Fu Lu came in and reported in a low voice.

“not see!”

…

Outside the palace, after receiving the news that Emperor Jianping did not see her, Empress Chen still wanted to continue asking for an audience, but she didn’t know what to think of, and left Qianqing Palace.

At this time in the East Palace, Zong Duo was furious and took his sword to everything in the study, he was chopping things up as if Fang Fengfu.

“Gu wants to kill him, how dare he come to sue Gu!”

“Your Highness, calm down, please calm down, please don’t get pregnant with everything that the empress has done for you. Before the empress speaks, there must be a turning point.” He Nian hugged him from behind and said, how could he be as usual? Be calm.

“Transfer?”

Is there really a turnaround?

“It’s better to kill him than to seek a turnaround!”

Maybe there will be a turnaround, but at least not for now.

On the second day after the incident happened, there was a lot of discussion about it in the court. Numerous officials wrote letters. In order to ensure the reputation of the prince, the case must be thoroughly investigated. Emperor Jianping was already on the verge of riding a tiger, and he could suppress it in private, but if he made a fuss in the open, he had to give an explanation to the people of the world.

The files that had been sealed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice were opened again, and the case that had passed for several years was finally exposed to the eyes of the world.

At the same time, there was a lot of controversy in the court about who was ordered to try the case.

It stands to reason that it can be said that the Dasansi, that is, the three main hall officials of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, can be mentioned in the court, but many people have objections to this. After debating for half a month, six officials were finally settled. In addition to Lu Baochun, Minister of Dali Temple, Yu Huanjie, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and Lu Yunfu, Minister of Zuodu, Jiang Ximing, King of Wei, Minister of Honglu Temple, and Jiang Boxue, Minister of Rites , joint trial.

These six people are the final result of mutual conflicts among various forces, and King Wei is the only exception. He was named and released by Emperor Jianping himself, and he also played the role of supervisor on behalf of the emperor.

In fact, things have developed to this day, and it is almost impossible to use someone’s hand to tamper with the case. These six people supervise each other and restrict each other. The only thing they can do is to expose the case to the world.

Things started step by step, and Fang Fengfu, who is the sufferer, has been imprisoned in the sky prison of Dali Temple in order to ensure his safety.

During the period, Wei Wang, as one of the presiding judges, came to meet Feng Sheng together with other presiding officials.

She lost some weight again, but she was in good spirits.

Before leaving, Wei Wang said: “This person is not a criminal, and it is against the system to be locked up here. It seems a bit mean to let her have the same board and lodging as the prisoner.”

Lu Baochun asked: “I don’t know what suggestions His Royal Highness Wei Wang has?”

“This case can’t be clarified in a short while. This man is a frail scholar. He has made great contributions to the society. Lord Lu treats him as a special treatment. How about this, make the cell more comfortable, and find some books and pens and ink , Let him pass the time. This king has met him on several occasions, and this king will send someone to send these things, which can be regarded as a kind of incense, and also to prevent the world from talking about my royal family’s meanness.”

Several other people looked at each other in blank dismay, but did not raise any objections. Anyway, if something happened to the things sent by King Wei, he would be responsible for it himself. After Fang Fengfu handed over all the evidence, in fact, the whole case has nothing to do with her, and there is no need to be afraid of mutual confessions and testimonies.

In this way, Feng Sheng changed to a more comfortable cell.

If it weren’t for the lack of windows in the cell, the door of the cell was closed all year round, leaving only a window for food delivery, almost no different from being at home. Inside, the bed, desk, desk and screen are complete, and clothes to keep out the cold are also prepared. King Wei also prepared something for her. Anyway, Feng Sheng was embarrassed for a long time after seeing it.

In fact, she has her own preparations, and she has brought a lot with her, and she has long expected this day.

Time passed day by day, because Feng Sheng hadn’t seen the sun for a long time, Feng Sheng didn’t know how long it had passed. It wasn’t until King Wei ordered someone to bring her winter clothes and a charcoal basin was added to her cell that she didn’t know that it was already winter.

During this period, King Wei sent her a lot of things under the pretext of asking someone to give her a lot, but he never sent a word. Feng Sheng guessed that he must be angry.

But there’s nothing she can do to get angry, since she left the Sun’s house, the meaning of her life and even her existence is to avenge her father and overturn the case. She was trembling, and she walked so hard to this step, just for this day, no one or anything can stop her.

including him.

There are a lot of Buddhist scriptures in the things that King Wei sent. The life here is so quiet that it makes people want to go crazy. There is always time to finish the books, so Feng Sheng has recently become obsessed with copying Buddhist scriptures.

After copying for a while, rest when tired, anyway, she has nothing to do, so that’s all she can do. In the past, Feng Sheng would never have imagined that this was the most leisurely time in her life.

Nothing to do, nothing to think about.

She is completely relaxed now, the matter has progressed to the last step, the result is beyond her control, even if she can’t pay for her life, even if she dies now, she is not afraid that she will be ashamed to see her father after death.

She has done her best.

When the time entered the next spring, the results came out.

Elder Song Ge was deprived of his official position and ransacked his home, and he was tried separately. All the other people involved in the case were dismissed. The crown prince Zong Duo was deprived of the title of crown prince, and was temporarily imprisoned in the prince’s mansion.

This is already the best result that can be obtained, so Feng Sheng is not surprised when he finds out.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were five punishments, ten evils and eight judgments, of which the eight judgments were relatives, elders, virtuous, capable, meritorious, noble, diligent, and guests.

That is to say, after a person with the above eight identities or qualifications breaks the law, no judicial authority has the right to judge. He must ask the emperor to make a judgment himself, and the crime can be mitigated as appropriate. The crown prince is close, expensive, and has an affair, so it is impossible for him to lose his life. It is already the result of the efforts of many forces that he can lose the identity of the crown prince.

Then she should die too, right?

But Feng Sheng didn’t come to the first class, and the second class still didn’t come. Could it be that Emperor Jianping didn’t want to kill her?

She didn’t know that during this turmoil, Emperor Jianping wanted to kill her more than once. The reason for being patient is to show the demeanor of an emperor and not to be criticized by the world.

After finally waiting for the dust to settle and everything to calm down, he thought about it again, but an unexpected guest came.

“What did you say?”

If Emperor Jianping had a mirror in front of him now, he would be able to appreciate how surprised he was to the extreme.

“You said that Fang Fengfu was a woman, and you asked me to marry her?”

King Wei, who was always proud, prostrated himself on the ground at this moment: “Yes, father.”
