Chapter 11 The People's Support (1)
The news that Jia Sidao was imprisoned was spread at the speed of a rocket. The people who had been bullied by him all shouted happily when they heard the news and rushed to the Ministry of Justice to complain. Jia Sidao had done so many bad things, and there were more papers than carp crossing the river. The Ministry of Justice, from officials to staff, was almost overwhelmed by papers, and it was still not helpful to have them all become rabbit eyes.
The Ministry of Justice could not hold on anymore. Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and Chen Yizhong had to transfer people from the Secretariat to fight the attack, but they still couldn't handle it. There was really no way. Wen Tianxiang and Chen Yizhong faced the saint and asked Li Jun to help find some people to support him. Li Jun thought about it and issued an imperial edict directly to transfer the doctor who was proficient in documentary laws in the Imperial College to respond to emergency.
It is certainly gratifying to bring down Jia Sidao, and the people are proud. If they had not participated in the investigation of this case, no one would have imagined the hard work. Li Jun inspected the Ministry of Justice three times and found that all the staff were tired. Even Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and Chen Yizhong were also red-eyed, and while talking to him, he endured the yawning.
Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu are both characters among the "Three Masters of the Song Dynasty", so loyalty is necessitated. Li Jun is very clear about Chen Yizhong's character, but he did not expect that he was so dedicated, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity. He specially asked Chang Yu to give some refreshing tonics to these poor-coping case handlers. The Song Dynasty was quite generous to his ministers, and it was not yet considered to be considerate. Needless to say, the case handlers were grateful to Li Jun, all of which were grateful to Tian's gratitude and hard work.
After two days of hard work, the review was finally completed. Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and Chen Yizhong had red eyes and faced the file with the saint. Chen Yizhong said: "I am ordered to investigate the Jia Sidao case. Now the investigation has been completed. Please ask the emperor to cut it off." After handing over a thick stack of files, Li Jun opened it and saw that it was all Jia Sidao's crimes. They were listed in detail and clearly, and can be analyzed in detail.
Li Jun closed the file and said, "Please pick up the key points." It's so thick that you can read it one by one, it would be strange if you don't feel tired and your eyes are blurred.
"According to the order, Jia Sidao committed crimes of deceiving the monarch, selling his country, taking military merits, lying about military information, embezzling national treasury, embezzling military pay, slandering the master, slandering wise ministers, using power to exclude and suppress colleagues, bullying men and women, and seizing people's property, a total of 1,246 crimes." Chen Yizhong said this in one breath and took a breath: "What I said is true, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no false statement. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, we should be killed and the nine clans should be destroyed. Please ask the emperor to sage."
"What else do you have to say?" Li Jun asked Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu.
Wen Lu and the others said: "What Lord Chen said is true, I have no different words. I would like to ask the emperor to make a decision."
There is a saying that it is not difficult for a person to do good things, but the difficult thing is to do good things for the rest of his life. Similarly, it is not difficult for a person to do bad things for the rest of his life, but also all kinds of things are big cases. As long as a small case is established, he can be sentenced to exile and exile. The big ones are like tying enemies, stolen peace, and lying about military affairs, as long as one is established, it is normal to raid his family and destroy his door.
Li Jun is familiar with Jia Sidao's biography, but he did not expect that he would commit so many crimes. If Li Jun had not believed that he would have done such "amazing achievements" in the Southern Song Dynasty.
"I had known that Jia Sidao had committed so many crimes, but I didn't expect that there would be so many. If I had not gone through the motions, I would have chopped his head on the spot after only two days of verification. Wen Tianxiang was too upright and wanted to verify it one by one. It would have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month. Fortunately, Lu Xiufu did not blindly pursue justice like him and dissuaded him." Li Jun's thoughts were teleported and thought: "I am very happy to chop off his head without scrutiny. Unfortunately, Wen Tianxiang is too upright and wants to deal with everything fairly. Some things are not the case. People are too upright, not good to be too upright." Li Jun murmured Wen Tianxiang's integrity in his heart.
Li Jun had an idea long ago, but he didn't say it, saying, "What to do, let me consider it later." Looking at Chen Yizhong, he said, "Give me the files you brought together."
Chen Yikou presented another booklet and said, "Emperor, this is the list that was searched for when searching Jia Sidao's mansion. It records the court officials, gentry, celebrities, and local bullies who colluded with Jia Sidao. How to deal with it? Please ask the emperor to cut off the sage."
Li Jun took a rough look and was secretly shocked. This could be said to be Jia Sidao's crime record. He remembered clearly what the court officials gave him, what the matter was Jia Sidao doing; what the gentry and celebrity bribed him, and what benefits he gave him.
Li Jun counted secretly that for the ministers in the court alone, nearly 200 officials involved. If one person was not handled properly, it would make the court empty. When the Mongolian army was in a state of crisis, such a thing would only be detrimental to the court. We had to be cautious and said, "Let me think about it carefully."
"Abide by the order." Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and Chen Yizhong bowed and wanted to leave. Chen Yizhong suddenly felt as if a sharp sword was stabbing at him. He raised his head in shock and saw Li Jun looking at him with bright eyes as if he could see through his heart. Chen Yizhong was frightened and said hurriedly: "I will leave."
Li Jun said slowly, "Chen Aiqing, Wei Keyu's family is okay?" He asked casually, as if he was unintentional.
Chen Yizhong heard it in his ears like thunder roaring in his ears. He was so scared that he almost fainted on the spot. He said in a trembling voice: "Go back to the emperor, it's okay, it's okay, it's all right."
"That's good. If you have time, go and see them. See how they live and whether they are short of money or not." Li Jun said very kindly, as if his friend was giving advice.
This was not so simple to hear in Chen Yizhong's ears. It seemed as if Li Jun saw through his thoughts. He staggered and almost fainted on the ground. He gritted his teeth and jumped out word by word, saying, "My decree." Without waiting for Li Jun to give him instructions, he hurriedly retreated and found that his back was squirting cold sweat.
The situation reported by Chen Yizhong and others was not complete, there was a little difference, and one case was missing, which was the case that Chen Yizhong killed Wei Keyu with the hand of Jia Sidao. That was when Chen Yizhong was young. His father accepted bribes and arrested Wei Keyu for justice. Chen Yizhong wrote a letter to request leniency, but Wei Keyu did not agree. Later, Chen Yizhong became a high-ranking official and became Wei Keyu's boss. On the surface, he pretended not to care about this matter and secretly searched for Wei Keyu's crimes. Wei Keyu became an official Qingming, but he did not
What a big mistake, he got nothing. Not long after, Wei Keyu bluntly said that he offended Jia Sidao. Chen Yizhong believed that the opportunity for revenge had come, so he told Jia Sidao that Wei Keyu had falsely committed crimes. Jia Sidao ordered his exile and died in depression. In Wei Keyu's death, Jia Sidao was just a gunman, and Chen Yizhong was the real murderer. Li Jun knew this well and wanted to take this opportunity to scare Chen Yizhong and warned him not to do anything randomly again, so he could only think about it. Chen Yizhong did this very secretly, and Li Jun actually mentioned that it would be strange if he didn't scare him half-death.
Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and Chen Yizhong had just left, and a thud of a thrust of crutches hitting the ground came. Li Jun knew who was coming when he heard it, and thought to himself: "The person who pleaded with Jia Sidao is here."
Sure enough, Xie Daoqing walked in with a cane and helped the palace maid. Li Jun hurriedly helped her to take her seat. Xie Daoqing couldn't wait until her butt was close to the chair and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the trial of Jia Sidao's case has been completed. What will the emperor plan to deal with it?"
Li Jun said in contemplation: "This matter really makes me embarrassed. We must consider both emotion, reason, country and law, and not only a problem that is difficult to tolerate in national laws."
"Your Majesty, if you think so, the old woman will feel relieved." Xie Daoqing said he was relieved, but in fact he was not at all, and said, "Your Majesty, you have to think about how you ascended the throne? If Jia Sidao hadn't contributed to it, the late emperor would not have made you the crown prince. This is the merit of the decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive
People are inevitably faulty. Not pursuing minor faults by ministers is certainly a virtue. A traitor and evil person like Jia Sidao is not a virtue, but incompetence. Song Duzong had to wait until Jia Sidao left before he dared to retreat to the court. It was obvious that Jia Sidao was domineering, but she said that it was a good person, and it was really unclear.
Li Jun sighed in his heart and said, "I will consider what Shouhe Shengfu said."
"Your Majesty, then tell me, will you kill him?" Xie Daoqing stared at Li Jun and asked.
Li Jun felt regretful and asked back, "What would you do if Shou and Shengfu ruling?"
Xie Daoqing didn't think about it and said, "Jia Sidao is a veteran of two dynasties. He has been running in the court for many years. He has made great contributions to the court as he is today. Even if he is wrong, it is for the court."
"He made a great contribution to the court's situation in this day," great! This is the saying!
Mengge died in battle, and Kublai Khan went north to Mongolia to participate in the battle for the Khan throne. There was no war for several years. The Southern Song Dynasty court could have seized time to consolidate the defense system. All of them missed this rare opportunity because Jia Sidao abusing his power, which caused this situation today. Xie Daoqing hit the nail on the head, but she turned the slander and turned the mistake into credit.
Li Jun has seen more than 80 years of life. He has seen many things. It is good, fun, fun, and funny. It is no wonder that he is funny. Only this sentence makes him feel the most funny. He really wants to laugh out loud. When he thinks about it carefully, there are too many sadness, but he can't laugh. He picked up the file and said, "Shouhe Shengfu, this is the crime of Jia Sidao. There may be omissions, and there may be some wrong things. If Shouhe Shengfu has time, please check it out and correct it. Shouhe Shengfu is a candle that shines thousands of miles, and correcting it will make me learn a lot."
Xie Daoqing's face suddenly looked much better, and she said, "Okay, I'll go back to the palace to check it out, and I'll tell you again." The palace maid left with the file. (Note: After reading "Biography of Jia Sidao", I really can't figure out the part about Xie Daoqing's handling of Jia Sidao. It's clear that she can be executed ten thousand times. She was just exiled, and the laws of the Southern Song Dynasty no longer exist.)
