Li Xuan sat in her seat and looked at Li Lin calmly: "Brother, we haven't seen each other for five or six years. I remember that my brother entered the official position as a member of the family and served as the Cao Cao of Jingzhao Prefecture. Yes, when did you transfer the left prison guard to serve as a school captain?"
The Hucao of Jingzhao Prefecture is a civil servant, and the Wei Xiaowei of Zuojianmen is a military official.
Although the Tang Dynasty would not be as confrontational as it would be in the future, it would not be a good choice to easily switch from civil service to military service and not during wartime.
Li Lin stood there, looking a little embarrassed, but then he smiled bitterly and said, "Not everyone has a smooth official career like the prince, especially when every superior officer you meet has trouble with you. in this way."
"Left prison guard Zhonglang General Fan Huaiyi?" Li Xuan understood somewhat.
This time, the people guarding Zhaoling were Zuo Weiwei and Zuojian gatekeeper.
The army was led by Zuo Weiwei General Quan Shancai, assisted by Zuo Jianmen Zhonglang General Fan Huaiyi.
The current accusation is clear evidence of the relationship between Li Lin and Fan Huaiyi.
Li Xuan then turned to look at Di Renjie: "Di Si Cheng, let's start the trial. I guarantee that every word Li Lin, the captain of the left prison gate, said is true, because when he tells lies, his right eyelid will I can’t help but jump up, it won’t change for so many years.”
"Your Majesty!" Li Lin looked at Li Xuan with an anxious look on his face.
"I have one thing to say, clan brother, do you have to lie about such a major matter of reporting against General Zuoweiwei? I have been ordered by His Majesty to monitor you here. If you are not honest, then don't blame me. The king reports to His Majesty and implements the clan law." Li Xuan's expression became cold.
The Tang Dynasty recognized clan laws and clan punishments. As long as the government reviewed the case and found that there was no problem with the approval, the court could pass it.
This is why royal power does not go to the countryside, not to mention that the clan has its own rules.
The corners of Li Lin's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression became gloomy.
Di Renjie's expression became more interesting. He looked at Li Lin and asked, "Captain Li, I want to ask you, is there anything wrong with your report to General Zuo Weiwei, Quan Shancai, for instructing his men to cut down Zhaoling cypress trees?"
Although Li Lin looked troubled, he still said solemnly: "It is true."
Di Renjie stared at Li Lin's right eyelid. Li Lin's right eyelid had some slight beating, but it quickly calmed down.
Di Renjie turned around and looked at Li Xuan in surprise. Li Xuan said calmly, "He didn't tell the truth completely. He was half truthful and half false."
On the high platform, Xu Yu, the young minister of Dali Temple, Liu Sili, the imperial censor, and Cui Sheng, the minister of punishment, all looked at Li Xuan with extremely surprised eyes.
At this moment, Li Lin looked at Li Xuan with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
With a "pop" sound, Di Renjie was stunned and shouted coldly: "Liu Lieutenant, now, you are still not honest. Someone comes and beats him thirty..."
"This Si Cheng, Li Lin did not lie, it was just a little roundabout." Li Lin quickly interrupted Di Renjie.
Di Renjie then looked at Li Lin and asked with a cold face: "How to make a detour?"
Li Lin looked solemn, and then he seriously raised his hands and said: "That day, when the army was setting up camp, there was a shortage of a few logs of wood. The general ordered General Zhonglang to lead his subordinate sergeants to cut wood in the surrounding areas. Under the leadership of General Zhonglang, those soldiers The sergeant cut down the cypress trees in Zhaoling..."
"Nonsense, we are far away from Zhaoling. Although we have cut down the trees, they are not from Zhaoling." Quan Shancai couldn't help but interrupt Li Lin.
Li Lin looked sideways at Quan Shancai, as if he was looking at an idiot. He shook his head and said contemptuously: "General, maybe you are the only one who doesn't know the details of this matter. We were cutting down the wood that day." After the cypress tree, the man who cut down the cypress tree was caught and severely whipped by General Fan Zhonglang. Why do you think this is?"
The eyes of everyone present fell on Quan Shancai. Quan Shancai's face was already very ugly at this time, and he was even more worried. Is this really happening?
It's an old rule in the military to bully your superiors and not hide from your subordinates.
"So, the general didn't know anything about this, so why did you falsely accuse the general?" Di Renjie snapped and slapped the crowd hard.
Li Lin showed a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth, looked at Di Renjie and said: "Di Si Cheng, what the last general said is that maybe General Quan doesn't know, but does he really not know? Zuo Weiwei, Zuo Prison Gate Guard, almost all Everyone knows about this, but he alone doesn’t know about it, do you believe it?”
At this point, Li Lin turned to look at Quan Shancai and said disdainfully: "And even if he really doesn't know, does Si Cheng think he can't know, is not known, or does he not want to know or dare not know?"
With Li Lin's words, everyone present was stunned and turned to look at Quan Shancai.
Quan Shancai was the general of Zuoweiwei, and many of the Zuoweiwei soldiers under his command were from the Dangxiang tribe.
Since the entire army knows about it, then these Dangxiang tribesmen also know about it, so will they tell Quan Shancai about this?
With a "pop" sound, Di Renjie slapped the public case hard, then looked at Li Lin and said: "There is no basis for your words. Since you said that everyone in the army knows about this, then when someone comes, tell the guard of the left prison Zhongfan Huaiyi!"
"mighty!"
…
Wearing a black outfit and a slender figure, Fan Huaiyi walked in from the outside with a embarrassed look.
His hands were still wearing iron shackles, and it looked like they had been there for a long time, and his wrists were bleeding.
Entering the courtroom, Fan Huaiyi immediately saw Quan Shancai standing there in white, and Li Lin on the other side with an indifferent expression.
"It turns out it's you!" Fan Huaiyi immediately understood what was going on. He immediately rushed towards Li Lin and cursed fiercely: "It's you who made the false accusation. I'm going to kill you."
There was a "pop" and the gavel sounded.
In an instant, two fire and water sticks hit Fan Huaiyi hard on the crook of his legs, and one stick knocked him down.
"You!" Fan Huaiyi pressed his shackled hands on the ground. His wrists and legs were in severe pain. He raised his head angrily and looked at Di Renjie above, but he saw Xu Yu, the young minister of Dali Temple, and the attendant. Censor Liu Sili, Minister of Justice Cui Sheng, and Li Xuan on one side.
"Bang!" The gavel sounded again. Di Renjie looked at Fan Huaiyi coldly and said in a cold voice: "General Fan Huaiyi, the guard of the left prison, this is the court hall of Dali Temple, not a place for you to act wild."
Fan Huaiyi was stunned, and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated without a trace.
He stood up staggeringly, with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly, but he still struggled and cupped his hands and said, "Fan Huaiyi, the last general, has met all the superior officers."
Di Renjie looked sternly, stared at Fan Huaiyi and said: "Dali Temple is investigating the case, General Zhonglang, if you continue to act wantonly, don't blame me for my staff... Now, I ask: In the middle of last month, Zuo Weiwei and The guard of the left prison guarding Zhaoling and felling the cypress trees of Zhaoling, General Zhonglang, is this possible?"
Fan Huaiyi's eyes fell on Di Renjie and he gritted his teeth and said, "No, there is no such thing?"
Li Lin turned his head to look at Fan Huaiyi in an instant, his face full of surprise.
Di Renjie glanced at Li Lin and then returned to Dao Fan Huaiyi: "I would like to ask again, in the middle of last month, did you punish the soldiers?"
"Military sergeants violate military laws every day, and the punishment is not enough." Fan Huaiyi looked at Li Lin and said disdainfully: "Just like Captain Li, he was lazy and cheating on duty, and was caught by Fan. I punished him severely."
"Pa" Di Renjie slapped the gavel tree hard again and said in a cold voice: "Fan Huaiyi, what I'm asking about is not the grudge between you and Captain Li. What I'm asking about is what happened on the day when the cypress wood was cut down... On that day, did you whip the soldiers who felled the cypress trees after cutting them down?"
Fan Huaiyi's eyes flickered and he glanced sideways at Li Lin. Li Lin's eyes were full of gloating.
The resentment in his eyes flashed, and he turned his head. Fan Huaiyi looked at Di Renjie, cupped his hands and said, "Report to the official, this is indeed the case."
"Why?" Di Renjie leaned forward and looked at Fan Huaiyi with an oppressive gaze: "Why did you whip the soldiers who felled the cypress trees after felling them?"
Fan Huaiyi twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Because the last general mistakenly thought that they had cut down the cypress trees in Zhaoling."
"Misunderstood?" Di Renjie frowned and asked politely: "Why did you misunderstand?"
"The general originally thought that they cut down the cypress trees in Zhaoling, but it was not the case. The place they cut down was outside Zhaoling." Fan Huaiyi raised his shackled hands and said seriously: "That area is actually in Zhaoling." On the boundary between the mausoleum and the Zhaoling Mausoleum, people often cut down the trees in the Zhaoling Mausoleum by mistake, but in fact, the place they chopped down that day was not within the boundaries of the Zhaoling Mausoleum."
After a slight pause, Fan Huaiyi said seriously: "I will ask all the superior officers to go and take a look in person. As long as you go there and take a look, you will immediately understand that it is not actually within the Zhaoling Mausoleum at all."
Quan Shancai on one side immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "It is indeed true. You can go and have a look in person, and it will be clear once you see it."
None of you here can fool around at will. How come they don’t know that as soon as they go there, the distance of ten miles will expand from the finger of paper and pen to a vast land of ten miles. At that time, they will all tend to Zhaoling. external conclusion.
Li Xuan turned around and looked at Xu Yu, the young minister of Dali Temple, Liu Sili, the imperial censor, and Cui Sheng, the minister of punishment, with cold eyes.
The answer to who among these three people is who can be seen now.
Dali Temple Shaoqing Xu Yu Xu Yu was the first to speak: "Dali Temple must first go to the scene to take a look at the case. Sometimes, some people say that someone was killed, but the person is not dead, it was just an accidental injury. Therefore, I think You should go there.”
Liu Sili, the imperial censor, and Cui Sheng, the minister of justice, remained silent. At this moment, their attitudes were easily revealed.
Li Xuan turned sideways and looked at Li Lin who was standing there.
Sure enough, at this time, Li Lin took a step forward, turned his head, looked at Quan Shancai and Fan Huaiyi with disdain, and said with a sneer: "General Quan, General Fan Zhonglang, if you remember correctly, I will go to Jiuwei Mountain." , we are on duty at Zhaoling... If we camp outside Zhaoling, how will we be on duty?"
In one sentence, Quan Shancai and Fan Huaiyi stopped talking.
Li Lin followed up and said: "Do you still insist that you felled the cypress trees outside Zhaoling? If this is the case, then you have derelict in your duty to guard Jiuwei Mountain."
If the trees in Zhaoling are cut down, then Quan Shancai, Fan Huaiyi and a few other soldiers will be punished. But if they fail to guard in the designated area, then all Zuowei guards and Zuojianmen guards in the camp will be punished. , Quan Shancai and Fan Huaiyi also cannot escape, and their responsibilities are even heavier.
With a "pop" sound, Di Renjie was stunned, looked at Li Lin coldly, and reprimanded unceremoniously: "Captain Li, I didn't ask you, so you are not allowed to speak freely."
"Here!" Li Lin smiled indifferently, then turned around.
Di Renjie looked at the three people and said calmly: "Whether the felling place is within Zhaoling, whether the camp is within the designated area of the Ministry of War, Dali Temple will send personnel to conduct on-site inspections. If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not, it is not what you say. If not, there would be nothing.
General Fan Zhonglang, I would like to ask you a question: Does General Quan know about the felling of the land involved in the Zhaoling incident? "
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Fan Huaiyi.
Di Renjie's question was extremely direct, quick and confusing.
A word that hits the mark.
Fan Huaiyi's face was heavy. In full view of everyone, he gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have not told General Quan about this matter."
