Jin Zi naturally did not dare to hide such a big incident in Zhao's house, and wrote all the details in the secret letter, worried that His Majesty would misunderstand the madam's viciousness, how she would make up her mind, how to make decisions, how to rescue the child, how to hug him and cry, and How to put him next to Nguyen and let the mother and son see the last scene one by one, it is immersive.
After receiving the secret letter, Emperor Shengyuan read it over and over again. Although his expression was always calm, there were occasional lightning flashes in his blue-black eyes. He squeezed the letter tightly, and his hands gradually began to tremble, as if he was enduring great pain.
"Your Majesty, why are you so troubled?" Bai Fu had no way of knowing what was written in the secret letter, but he knew that if His Majesty walked into this door, he would go crazy for no reason and hurt himself severely.
The leader of the dark guard couldn't bear to show his figure, and knelt down to resist, "Your Majesty, let the past things pass, don't think about it anymore. The things in this room should have been burnt down long ago."
Emperor Shengyuan bypassed him without saying a word and strode inside. The secret room is not spacious, with many luminous pearls inlaid on the four walls, and there is a print on the wall facing the door. It is said that the Queen Mother specially found an oriental painter to describe the real scene, called Ukiyo-e. It is very colorful, and the pigments used are specially treated, which can be preserved for thousands of years without rot.
As soon as he entered his eyes, there were large patches of red, and the ground was covered with blood. If in the past, Emperor Shengyuan would have been stimulated to go mad, and then wantonly smashed and slashed, until he was seriously injured or weak, he would not be willing to lie down.
The leader of the dark guard and Bai Fu were already ready to deal with a man-eating beast, but today's situation is very different. His Majesty stood in front of the engraving, and there was no other abnormality except for his clenched hands. He looked at the painting over and over again very calmly, and suddenly laughed in a low voice. There was bitterness and grief in his laughter, but more of it was relief.
When he turned his head, his face was filled with tears, and he picked up the secret letter that he didn't know what to write, and read it with a very gentle expression.
In the anxiety, the leader of the dark guard and Bai Fu vaguely heard him whispering, "It turns out that I am not a sin, but a hope, a gift, and a continuation of my mother's life. I am not a demon, a hell rakshasa, I am protected by my mother with her life. Child!" He laughed and then started to cry, and after crying for a while, he smiled again, and it seemed that he was still sensible, but it was more scary than when he was manic.
The leader of the dark guard and Bai Fu had never seen him lose his temper before, they thought he was stunned, and were thinking about whether to invite a wizard to exorcise His Majesty, when they saw him suddenly put away all his expressions and walked out while wiping his tears with a handkerchief. In the secret room, there is a deep love in his tone, "Madam saved me once again, worthy of being my wife."
What exactly was written on the secret letter? He cured your majesty's madness? The leader of the dark guard and Bai Fu scratched their hearts and lungs curiously.
Three days later, their doubts were finally answered. It turned out that Mrs. Guan opened up her belly after her brother and sister died in childbirth, took out the child, and then sewed it up again. This is too sturdy, isn't it
Even the murderous dark guards can't bear it, let alone ordinary people? Therefore, when the Ruan family shouted everywhere, Mrs. Guan got the infamy of a "demon woman". There was that child who didn't obey the discipline and made a fuss. The elder said with a sullen face, "If you make trouble again, let the eldest lady of the Zhao family come to cut you up and sew it up for you!"
But in three days, the name of the Guan family's benevolence was completely ruined. When I saw the plaque of the Emperor's House, the timid would avoid it, and the daring smashed it with stones or rotten eggs, and also believed in Buddhism. The woman secretly burned paper money at the base of the wall, beat up villains, and drove away evil spirits, which made the Guan family a black smoke.
Mr. Guan and Father Guan didn't mean to blame the Pearl at all, they only traveled regularly and took it easy. They knew that if no one contributed to this matter, it would not have been such a big commotion. On the bright side, it seemed to be aimed at Yiyi, but in fact it was pointing at the Emperor Shifu. However, they had a clear conscience, and they were not afraid of danger. After waiting for three days, they finally waited until someone attacked.
Just after being transferred to the Shangshu Platform, although he was only in his early twenties, Master Song Xuan Song, who was in charge of the Cao Shangshu of the Cao Cao Cao Cao, held the jade wattle and stepped forward.
"Present." Emperor Shengyuan glanced at him with a deep look.
"Wei ministers want to impeach the emperor's teacher and Taichang's son who have no way to teach their sons, and have bad personal virtues. They instigate Guan's to desecrate the body, anger ghosts and gods, and do demons. The body is dissected and the souls are tortured. The great evil of human nature, I also ask the emperor to deal with it fairly, to make the deceased sleep peacefully."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few more people stood up to agree, all of whom were noble and powerful families.
Emperor Shengyuan was about to get angry, but Father Guan and Father Guan slowly took off their crowns, removed their official robes, and strode forward to kneel and worship. Guan's father bowed his hands and said in a dignified tone, "Report to the emperor, the little girl has an anatomy, not to desecrate the body or offend the ghosts and gods, but to save the unborn child in the womb. There is a Buddhist saying: 'God has the virtue of good life, saving one life is better than making seven "Class Buddha", as the saying goes: "Life depends on the sky and cannot be ignored". The little girl did not kill one person, but rescued one person. Wei Chen really didn't understand what was wrong with her. But since everyone in the world said that she saved the wrong one, then Wrong, Wei Chen and his father exchanged these two black gauze for a life. They never felt that they lost a single star, but they were very lucky! They resigned and went home. "
The old man also bowed his hands, and said, "Justice is not in the hearts of the people, good and evil have their own destiny. Whether the granddaughter of the old man is a witch, the gods are watching, the dead are watching, and the child who survived by chance is also watching. The old man is watching. Not only did I not feel that she was indebted to her personal virtues, but I also praised her for her boundless merits, bravery and courage, daring to do what others did not do, and daring to take responsibility for what others did not. She was an excellent woman raised by my family. She resigned from office, the old man didn't feel it was a pity, but he felt happy. My family's thousand-year-old family motto is only one sentence - I am not ashamed of the sky and I am not ashamed of others. She is ashamed, and I have no regrets! ."
The words fell without waiting for the emperor's response, and led his son to step back, Qingfeng's sleeves.
After listening to his impassioned and upright remarks, and seeing that he did not care about power at all, he would leave as soon as he said it. The civil servants with a little style have been deeply convinced by him, and the military generals have long been convinced by the old man. Screaming to plead for him, some of them had drawn their swords and wanted to hack Song Xuan on the spot.
People like the father and son of the Guan family are really a clear stream in the court. They have no opinion of the first place, no partisanship, no disputes between civil servants and military generals. It's never just about things, not people. The villain fears it, the gentleman respects it, and the warriors who have always had a single muscle in their brains are very close to them, and their five bodies are thrown to the ground.
If the emperor and Tai Chang left the court, the civil servants and military generals would probably fight against each other.
Emperor Shengyuan didn't expect the two Taishans to be so decisive, and they left as soon as they said it. When they came back to their senses, they only smiled bitterly. After laughing, thinking of the much-discussed lady, it was another burst of heartache.
He looked at Song Xuan coldly, and said word by word, "If I remember correctly, Lord Song has just entered the Shangshutai, and he will take up the position of Cao Shangshu of the Cao Cao Cao Department of the Judiciary. , supervise thieves, know that the stolen goods and bribes have been confiscated, and review important cases in various places, but no?”
Song Xuan didn't know why, so he only agreed, "Of course."
Emperor Shengyuan said again, "The law of civil punishment has been revised a few days ago, what is the benchmark?"
"People-oriented, life is at stake." Song Xuancai began to sweat after saying this. He only knew that Guan Shi had dissected her body, and her behavior was shocking and contrary to humanity, but he forgot that her original intention was to conform to the way of heaven. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, the Buddha would not blame her, and where would it be the turn of mortals to betray her.
"It's hard for you to remember." Emperor Shengyuan seemed very relieved, but he quickly asked with a low face, "What is the content of Article 6, Paragraph 7?"
Song Xuan froze for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was hoarse, "Article 6, paragraph 7, if there is a lawsuit involving human life in various places, if the matter involves a capital crime, the local government shall not arbitrarily specialize it, it must be reported to each level, and approved at each level. Death row prisoners can only be executed after the retrial, and if there is any grievance before the autumn and winter, they can submit a petition and give their inside information.
"So you all remember." Emperor Shengyuan looked around the silent court and said slowly, "The court still gave him a chance to deal with death row prisoners, and to treat innocent babies, just because he is weak, unable to speak, and unable to move his legs, he can turn a blind eye. Do you think that Mrs. Guan was wrong in saving her, and knowing that the fetus in her womb was moving, she buried the child with the mother, right
He stared at Song Xuan with a cold tone, "Knowing that human life can be saved but not saving it, and in turn blaming others for saving it, this kind of confused remark came from the mouth of the law Cao Shangshu, and I am deeply shocked and disappointed. If someone were to report the case to you for retrial in the future, would you be as black and white as you are today, with no distinction between good and evil?"
He picked up the pen, and while he spoke slowly, he wrote the dismissal document, "The law of the state is the foundation of a stable society and should not be ignored. I definitely dare not hand the law of the state into the hands of a person who does not know right and wrong, and who does not know good and evil. Knowing that there is a small life in it, But he didn't even dare to cut open a layer of his belly. Lord Song has neither courage, nor benevolence, nor blood, and there is really no merit in it. You should not take the position of Cao Shangshu of the driving department and give it to others. Let's go." The words fell and looked at the people who supported Song Xuan, shook their heads and sneered, and pointed to a prison officer who spoke for the two Taishan, and said, "The new law Cao Shangshu, sign up."
The man never expected a huge pie to fall from the sky, which made his head dizzy. He reported his name in a trance, and saw the emperor drop the imperial pen and seal on the appointment document, and then flung his sleeves and left. go.
Song Xuan, who was still smug just now, was pale and slumped to the ground. He was dragged out by two servants and thrown down the steps. His fans all beat their chests and feet, and felt great remorse.
