Qi Xiao's case can be described as full of twists and turns.
At first, due to insufficient evidence, the balance of punishment was more inclined to Liang Shoufu's side. However, after the key witnesses were captured, the favorable trend shifted to the Qi family's side.
Liang Shoufu originally wanted to regain the victory through joint pressure, but unexpectedly, he was intercepted by Zhong Yi who operated behind the scenes.
In politics, it's all about intrigue and deception, and it all depends on who is more superior.
As for Fu Zuoyi, he comprehensively considered the short-term, mid-term and long-term aspects and made the correct decision that he believed was most beneficial to him.
The big principle is to ensure that you are safe and sound while also seeking some useful resources for future generations.
As the saying goes, if you are willing to give up, you will gain something.
Then give it up!
The current game is fierce, with both sides using all their means.
The former chief assistant was busy in secret, and the current chief assistant is not idle either.
When Liang Yingzhong saw that Fu Renyi was absent due to illness, he came up with the idea of begging Queen Su.
If there is no light in the east and light in the west, why hang yourself from a tree?
However, the results were the same, and they still got a shutout.
Empress Su also declined his humble request for an audience because of her poor health.
As a result, Liang Yingzhong felt a little uncomfortable.
This was because a certain imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital had just performed a safe pulse on Empress Chitose, and he said with certainty that the Lord of Kunji was safe and sound.
In fact, the queen is indeed healthy.
At this time, she was admiring the flowers, the moon, and the autumn fragrance in the imperial garden, looking hazy, elegant and indifferent.
The bright moon shines in the sky, and the clear spring rocks flow upward.
On a small stone table under the moonlight in front of the flowers, a lonely sparse shadow is leaning. Sometimes she looked at the night sky, sometimes she frowned in thought, looking worried.
At this moment, a burly figure suddenly appeared and reported: "Empress Qi, our plan to 'slay the dragon' has failed."
Su Liu trembled when he heard this and said curiously: "That's not right. The naval force is clearly twice as powerful as his, how could it fail?"
"Well...it was the Qiongzhou Prefecture Army who was secretly escorting us, so we failed."
"Qiong Jun takes action?"
"yes!"
The queen thought for a while and said: "Wang Zhifan, please go and arrange the relevant aftermath. No matter what, you must push this matter to the Fuso people. In addition, everyone involved in this matter must be executed. Do No one will be left alive."
"Here! I'll do it now, my slave!"
However, just after taking two steps, Wang Zhifan turned around and asked: "Mother, Liang Shoufu is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot right now. Why don't you lend a helping hand to help him? People often say, Giving help at a critical moment is the easiest way to win over people."
Su Liu shook his head and said: "The heat is not yet enough, so we should wait a little longer."
"Still owed?"
"Yes! According to my observation, Dali Temple Minister Fu Renyi is a typical two-faced man. He neither wants to offend Liang Yingzhong nor be an enemy of Qi Yu, and strives to work in the middle. Therefore, he is very likely to adopt a peaceful approach. The strategy of the mud is to propose a plan in which both parties are innocent. The Qi family will definitely not give up, and then say some words of severe punishment. As for me, I chose to come forward at this time, while they were talking to each other. Conquer them in one fell swoop when you criticize them.”
This means that the best opportunity to profit is to wait until they fully explode.
Only in this way can the extraordinary status of the royal family be fully demonstrated.
What a good calculator.
It's a pity that Zhong Yi, who no one paid attention to, disrupted the situation.
…
The next day was a crisp autumn day.
It is indeed very pleasant.
However, the ministers in the court were all blushing and had thick necks, and they did not look happy at all.
As soon as the meeting started, the impeachment team headed by Yin Jun launched a fierce attack, directly attacking the chief minister of the cabinet, the nine admirals, Zongzheng of the imperial family, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Rites.
It is said that they know the law and break the law and commit crimes maliciously. It is really a double crime.
Then there was a flood of condemnation.
It is said that the emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty, and no one has any legal immunity. Therefore, we must kill those who deserve to be killed and those who deserve to be imprisoned, and we must not be merciful.
As the rhetoric escalated, everyone couldn't help but look at Mr. Fu Renyi, the minister of Dali Temple who insisted on going to court even though he was sick.
Yes, he is the master of judging cases.
He alone has the final say on what is right and wrong.
He was seen leaning on the pole in a sickly state and said something incomprehensible: "I am sick from overwork, I am afraid that my deadline is not far away!"
Um? What does it mean?
Could it be that he is about to burp?
After lamenting for a while, he made a statement to the officials, "You can rest assured that I will deal with it in accordance with the law and give everyone a reasonable result."
As for what the reasonable outcome would be, he did not say clearly. After a few violent dry coughs, he went to court early on the grounds of lack of health.
Looking at the mysterious Fu Renyi, all the high officials were stunned. Even Yin Jun, who was about to answer him, was a little confused.
Tsk tsk, what's going on, Lord Temple Minister?
It feels a little weird.
Weird, it’s just an official saying.
Ordinary people don't think so.
They feel that Mr. Fu today is almost a role model among officials.
Hey, this is an inspirational story about persisting in trying a case despite being sick.
It is said that after drinking more than ten large bowls of life-saving medicine, the old man was carried to the court of Dali Temple.
Moreover, he made the final judgment of the Qi Xiao case arbitrarily without any observers.
It's roughly as follows:
The four young men headed by Xiang You were the main criminals in the case. They ignored the national law and took human life lightly, causing the innocent shepherdess to die unjustly. According to the law, he should be sentenced to death. However, because his conscience was still intact and he committed suicide out of fear of the crime, he was pardoned from the punishment of whipping his corpse and his family was allowed to give him a generous burial.
The accomplices, including the chief minister of the cabinet, the nine-door admiral, the minister of war, and the minister of rites who resold the imperial examination papers, should all remove themselves from office and be imprisoned for two years to see the consequences.
An accomplice of Yao Hongyun, who changed his fortune when he saw it, violated the laws of nature, and was sentenced to one hundred lashes and sent to the border areas. Without the amnesty of the court, he was not allowed to return for life.
After the verdict, Fu Renyi directly hung his official seal in the high hall. After leaving a letter of resignation saying that he was ill and blind, he asked his servants to carry him home.
Early the next morning, Mr. Fu suddenly returned home with his family.
He said that he wanted to rush back to his hometown to dig his own grave, in order to have a sense of belonging as fallen leaves return to their roots. Burying his bones in a foreign land was definitely not what he wanted in life.
This sudden wave of outrageous actions shocked the entire political world.
Among them, Queen Su who miscalculated was also included.
