However, his warning eyes and tone did not deter Fang Fangjun...
Fang Jun did not intend to let Changsun Wuji pass easily today. After listening to His Majesty Li Er's words, he reached out and took off the black gauze hat on his head, then knelt down on his knees, placed the black gauze hat in front of him, and paused. Said: "Your Majesty, it is clear to you! When the Third Law Division interrogated the assassination case, it only gave Wei Chen a reply that "there is no evidence of instigation or participation." However, Changsun Taiwei still spoke blazingly and spread it everywhere because Wei Chen was cunning and insidious, so he never stayed. As a result, the government and the public are still criticizing Wei Chen, and more people still believe that the assassination of Changsun Chong was done by Wei Chen. Although he is young, he has always behaved well and sat upright, and he does not dare to claim to be a sage. How can a saint, who has a good conduct and integrity, be slandered by Taiwei Changsun for nothing? It is not necessary for a minor minister to get to the bottom of the matter and then fight for life and death, but Taiwei Zhangsun speaks nonsense and insults the reputation of minor officials. Just let him go. If the case is not solved for a day, Weichen will have to endure his slander, right? If His Majesty thinks that the trial of the Three Justices cannot be restarted, then Weichen understands His Majesty's determination to maintain the court's principles, but Weichen I hope to reach an agreement with Captain Changsun."
"Huh? What kind of agreement? Let's talk about it."
The first half of the words made His Majesty Li Er's anger rise. How many times have I told you sincerely, but you have to bear it for a while, and you have turned a deaf ear? He also went to the big court to make a fuss, what a bastard! However, after hearing the second half of the words, His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, and became calm and relaxed.
Obviously, Fang Jun had no intention of fighting to the death. In that case, he was happy to watch Fang Jun fight against Changsun Wuji.
After all, Changsun Wuji did go too far in this matter. He arbitrarily slandered a court minister without any evidence. Do you really think that I am going to die?
Fang Jun knelt on the ground and spoke righteously and impassionedly: "If Wei Chen has any clues about being involved in the assassination of Chang Sun Chong, without being punished by the court's laws, Wei Chen will immediately resign from all official positions and titles and invite himself to go there." We will cultivate the land and guard the borders in the Western Regions, but we will never set foot in Chang'an in our lifetime!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden gasp of air in the court.
Why did you actually make such a heavy oath? ! Although the Tri-Family Tribunal Trial was still unable to convict Fang Jun, everyone in the government and the public believed that this incident must have been done by Fang Jun. There are not many things in the world that are unconfirmed, and the lack of evidence does not explain anything.
But now that Fang Jun dares to speak fiercely and make such a poisonous oath in the Tai Chi Palace, it means that there is no room for relaxation.
If it is true that he has never done this before, then he has a strong confidence in his own arrangements and is confident that his mistakes will not be exposed.
Nowadays, the courtiers are obviously leaning towards the former... Otherwise, why would they be so resentful and make such an oath?
His Majesty Li Er's eyes flashed, and he was surprised at Fang Jun's bravery, daring to bet his whole life's future, and he sighed in his heart.
Without waiting for His Majesty Li Er to ask, Fang Jun continued: "On the contrary, if no one can prove that Wei Chen was involved in the assassination, then please ask Captain Sun to go to Wei Chen's mansion to plead guilty, and post a notice to be published all over the world. , clear the suspicion of Wei Chen and restore his reputation!"
Oops!
The ministers almost shouted, are you asking Changsun Wuji to apologize? This is simply killing Sun Wuji! As the number one person in the dynasty, with one person worth tens of millions, Changsun Wuji has always been recognized by both the government and the public as the number one meritorious figure in the world. I heard that His Majesty intends to establish Lingyan Pavilion, hang the portraits of several heroes in it, and enshrine them with incense throughout the seasons. , has been passed down from generation to generation, and Changsun Wuji deserves to be the handicraftsman on the first portrait.
For such a person, you can just ask him to publicly apologize, but you also want to post a notice and publish it all over the world?
You can lose your life, but if you lose this face, not only will his eldest grandson Wuji's great reputation be wiped out, but the entire eldest grandson's family will suffer from irredeemable flaws!
Sure enough, after Changsun Wuji heard this, his round face turned red and white, and he said angrily: "Son, how dare you do this? I have been an upright man in my life, and I have been brilliant..."
"Come on, who believes these nonsense?"
Fang Jun interrupted Changsun Wuji's words, stared at him with piercing eyes, and asked: "Captain Changsun keeps saying that the subordinate assassinated Changsun Chong, so I ask you, do you dare to do it in front of His Majesty, in front of civil and military officials?" Make an oath in front of the minister?"
Changsun Wuji's face looked like pig's liver. He really didn't expect Fang Jun to be so tough. This was simply a blow!
How can anyone play like this, risking their whole life and family glory?
Even if you did not do this, there is no guarantee that anything will happen. Even if you are innocent, what if I design a plan to get you involved?
crazy……
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Those who are clean will be clean themselves. Right and wrong will be dealt with by the court's laws. I despise such nonsense, swearing and making vows like a ruffian in the market!"
Fang Jun looked indignant, but thought in his heart: I'm sure you don't dare!
His mouth was still aggressive: "Every time Taiwei Changsun told people that it was the lower official who sent someone to assassinate Changsun Chong, then I dare to ask Taiwei Changsun, if Changsun Chong appeared in front of people one day and was proved to be unharmed, then Taiwei Changsun would Do you want to apologize to the officials and explain it to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to set the record straight?"
Changsun Wuji's expression changed again.
His original plan was to wait until the limelight of the matter was over, then go to the emperor to plead guilty, saying that Changsun Chong survived the catastrophe. Anyway, his goal would have been achieved by then, so what if Fang Jun was wronged?
But I didn't expect that Fang Jun would point this out early...
He could only say: "Absurd! Assassinations do exist. Just because Chang Sun Chong is still alive, does the assassination not count?"
As soon as I said it, I immediately regretted it.
Sure enough, Fang Jun keenly grasped the loophole and said loudly: "If Captain Changsun said this, did he already know that Changsun Chong is not dead at all, and that his whereabouts are under the control of Captain Changsun?"
Changsun Wuji argued: "I never said that, it's up to you to think whatever you want."
I couldn't help but feel a little anxious in my heart. Maybe I was really old and couldn't keep up with my reaction, and I actually showed such loopholes...
Although he did not admit it, the expressions of all the officials in the palace were a little strange.
They are all human beings. Perhaps they were too anxious like Changsun Wuji and failed to think carefully. But after thinking deeply, how could we not understand what this means?
The ministers remained silent, but they had mixed feelings in their hearts.
To be deceived and used by this old man, it is really abominable...
Fang Jun caught the loophole in Changsun Wuji's words, how could he let it go? He chased after him and said: "Since Changsun Chong is safe and sound, then Captain Changsun should call him to the Taiji Hall and confront him face to face. The right and wrong will be clear at a glance! But Captain Changsun not only hid Changsun Chong, but also continued to You keep saying that Xiaguan is the mastermind behind the scenes, do you want to put Xiaguan to death? This kind of vicious heart is really rare and never seen in thousands of years!"
Immediately afterwards, he said with full of sorrow and anger: "Everyone in the court is a sensible person. Right and wrong are obvious. Why do you need any interrogation or any evidence? His eldest grandson Wuji is despicable and shameless. In order to frame someone, he actually He doesn't hesitate to call a deer a horse and confuse right and wrong! How can such scum and scum be able to stand in the court, where do they put the public? I am ashamed to be in their company! I am innocent, but because of this slander, I have to bear the slander. The reputation of cruelty and tyranny has ruined a whole life of innocence. The ancestors of my family have been humiliated because of this. I am ashamed of my father, my ancestors, and my ancestors... Today, I will wash away this shame with my blood, grandson and old thief. , either you die, or I die!"
After saying that, under the horrified eyes of all the princes in the hall, he stood up and rushed towards Changsun Wuji with red eyes like a wolf and tiger...
Changsun Wuji was extremely anxious when he heard Fang Jun's accusations. Even though there was no evidence to support these words, just like he framed Fang Jun, as long as everyone recognizes and believes some things, what evidence is needed?
I was anxiously thinking about countermeasures when I suddenly heard Fang Jun's last sentence. I looked up in surprise and found that Fang Jun was already swollen, rushing towards me like a beast that chooses people to devour. I was suddenly horrified and screamed. Said: "Bastard, how dare you!"
His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the throne, stood on end. He suddenly stood up and shouted: "Hold him!"
