When Nie Rong received the servants of the Lin Mansion who were escorted over by the Supervisor of Heaven yesterday, he knew that Zhang Yuhang would not let the Ministry of Punishment be left alone in this matter.
I also made preparations early.
He immediately stood up, with a sullen face, and solemnly said: "The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are very clear. There is never any so-called privileged place. Although Haoting Academy has a distinguished status, it is also within the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This point , please don’t speak nonsense, Mr. Xia.”
Obviously, even at this time, Nie Rong is not willing to really offend other people from the aristocratic family, but because he is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he must act in accordance with the rules for some things.
Naturally, Xia Hongyuan heard the meaning of Nie Shangshu's words, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I was negligent, I hope you will forgive me."
Zhang Yuhang was very disappointed when he saw this scene. He originally had a good impression of the Ministry of Justice, but today the facts told him that everything was empty in the face of interests.
Now that he saw Nie Rong's attitude, Zhang Yuhang no longer had the slightest reservation. He immediately grasped this point and asked: "Master Nie, all the files, witnesses and evidence required for Lin Jianzhong's case are from the lower officials. Official documents were submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Now, in your opinion, should Lin Jianzhong be killed for what he did? A lower official impeached Lin Shaowen, Minister of Rites, for knowingly breaking the law and covering up his own son. Is this crime justified? "
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Nie Rong.
This Yuhang is really a dog, it will bite anyone you see.
When he saw that Nie Rong didn't support him, he pushed him into such an embarrassing situation.
No one present knew whether he should be killed or not.
But whoever really stands up to be the leader will definitely be regarded as the number one mortal enemy by the Lin Mansion afterwards.
Fighting to the death is not much different.
Nie Rong's face became even darker, but at this time, it was really impossible to say it or not to say it.
He is the Minister of Punishment, representing the majesty of the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhang Yuhang did not give him any chance to hesitate, and continued: "The Ministry of Punishment is the judicial organ of our great Zhou Dynasty. Your Excellency is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the leader in charge of criminal law in the world. Why is it that in the face of such a case with solid evidence, it is... Silent?"
"In other words, these people have been doing evil in Kyoto for so many years. What is the Ministry of Punishment doing? As the parent official of the people of Kyoto, what does Jing Zhaoyin do for food?
Are you really blind, or are you officials protecting each other? By doing this, where do you put the state of the Zhou Dynasty, and where do you put the people of the Zhou Dynasty?
Or maybe you, the children of aristocratic families, are used to being domineering and domineering, and now you are not satisfied with being a minister, and want to collude with each other, intend to rebel, subvert our country, and become the masters of your own family? "
At this moment, Zhang Yuhang spoke with righteousness and even a hint of murderous intent.
The attitude of jealousy for the sake of the Zhou Dynasty was most vividly displayed in him at this moment.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.
He looked at Zhang Yuhang in disbelief, why did he talk about rebellion? That was a serious crime against the nine tribes.
All I can say is that he is worthy of being overseen by Tiansi. He is really skilled in this method of confusing right and wrong.
But this is too shameless.
Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore.
Xue Pei, the imperial censor, stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, all ministers are the pillars of the imperial court. Although there may be some mistakes, we cannot allow others to slander us like this.
This person was eloquent in the main hall and arbitrarily criticized the ministers without any evidence. He was regarded as disloyal. The Xingyong Hou Mansion encountered a disaster. I heard that the old lady of the Hou Mansion was devastated and confused. As a son-in-law, he was not here. It is considered unfilial to show filial piety before one's knees, but to stir up trouble everywhere.
Such a disloyal and unfilial person should be expelled from the Jinluan Palace, removed from all official positions and titles, and never hired. "
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhang Yuhang burst out laughing when he heard these words, then looked at the imperial censor who stood up and said arrogantly: "I wonder what I call this lord?"
"snort!"
Xue Pei shook his sleeves disdainfully. After all, as a censor, it is his duty to suggest impeachment. Even if it is not the truth, as long as it is said by the censor, even if it is wrong in the end, it is not a big deal. Those who do not know are not guilty.
But seeing that Zhang Yuhang, who had arrested his own sons, didn't even recognize him at this moment, he was really angry.
"I am the censor..."
Just when he was about to tell who he was, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Zhang Yuhang's voice.
"No need, you are an old thief who is relying on your old age to betray your old age. I have no interest in knowing who you are."
"you......"
These words made Xue Pei very angry. He pointed at Zhang Yuhang and kept trembling.
"Shut up."
Zhang Yuhang shouted coldly: "I arrested Lin Jianzhong in accordance with the law. There are both witnesses and material evidence, not only the memorial in the hands of His Majesty, but even the Ministry of Punishment received the document summarizing all the evidence from the Supervisory Office. However, I acted in accordance with the law and became your What you say has no evidence?
In your eyes, are there still laws and regulations of the Zhou Dynasty? Are there still His Majesty? "
The last sentence is to kill people and kill your heart.
Everyone knows the current relationship between His Majesty and the aristocratic family. To say so is just to bring trouble to them.
"As for the son-in-law you mentioned, be filial to him."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuhang raised his head and glanced at Yongchang Hou on the side, and then continued: "I, Zhang Yuhang, was born in the Yongchang Hou Mansion, and I am a lowly bastard."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Yongchang's eyelids jumped as he was standing quietly.
"But from the time I entered the former Xingyong Hou Mansion as my daughter-in-law, I was already a member of the Xingyong Marquis Mansion. There is no doubt about this. Don't you know the status and identity of the son-in-law?
However, the Xingyong Hou Mansion was suspected of treason. It was by chance that I rescued His Majesty and survived. It was also because of the heavenly reward and wealth that I received without asking for any help in rescuing him. The continuation of the bloodline.
The old lady suffered this blow and was unable to recover. I also arranged the best mansion for her to recuperate. By doing this, I became an unfilial person in your eyes?
What's more, it is a well-known fact that I was given the title of noble son-in-law by Your Majesty before. Why, you don't know about such a thing? "
Xue Pei was speechless by Zhang Yuhang's questions, but she still managed to hold her tongue and said, "Of course I know."
"Since you know that, and you still say such ulterior motives, are you avenging His Majesty's previous unfair treatment of the rebellious Xue Ziling, or do you feel from the bottom of your heart that as long as you belong to your family, you can face all punishments and act recklessly?"
Everyone in the hall was a little panicked at this moment, especially the people from the Lin family. This was not the same thing as what they had discussed in advance.
Whether it was Zhang Yuhang riding on the academy, stepping on students, slapping the master, or the layout of counterattacks against nobles, none of them seemed to be in use.
Being beaten by this piece of Yuhang, everyone was forced into a desperate situation where they could no longer struggle.
pS: I have a lot to say, but as I type this I don’t know what to say. I hope everyone enjoys it!
