Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 356 The Backlash from Shilin

Li Chengqian trusts Luo Yan very much.

But trust does not mean that there is no guard. On the contrary, as the heir of the emperor, the trust given to anyone is limited.To say he trusted Luo Yan, it would be better to say that he trusted Luo Yan a little more than others.

However, it is only a little bit.

Now some capable generals in Chang'an City have been taken away by Li Shimin.Although the number of the Twelve Guards plus the Nanya Forbidden Army has far exceeded [-] to [-], if Luo Yan really wants to do something, I'm afraid it's really hard to say.

Li Chengqian was a little uncertain, so he had to turn his attention to Du Ruhui, the three auxiliary ministers.

At this moment, all three of them were pondering.

This matter has a lot to do with it, and a decision cannot be made immediately.

After a long time, Li Jing stood up with great difficulty and bowed to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, don't worry. The old minister guarantees with this meager life that Cheng Guogong is definitely not that kind of person. The few people I have waited for these days have accepted the court's decision." Some lords and ministers hosted banquets. Should we also be included as suspects because of this?"

"Hmph, don't be afraid of [-], just in case. What's more, His Highness is a man of gold, how can he be so risky. In my opinion, it is better to confine Duke Cheng and deal with it when His Majesty comes back." Another minister stood When he came out, he retorted fiercely without giving Li Jing any face.

Now Li Chengqian was completely shaken.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to announce the order with difficulty, Du Ruhui stood up, and Zhi Zhu said with his hands on the ground: "Your Highness doesn't believe in Cheng Guogong's loyalty, or does he not believe in His Majesty's knowledge of people? Or, he still doesn't believe my lord?" Tang's terrific power?"

Asking three consecutive questions made Li Chengqian speechless.

Thinking about it, it really is true, Luo Yan really has a wicked heart, and he can't do it.Even if thousands of honorable guards want to make trouble, the Tai Chi Palace has high walls, not to mention the inner palace.Moreover, there are many palace gates going out, and it is not a place where thousands of people can do things at all.

What's more, Li Shimin is still outside, whoever wants to rebel at this time is simply brain-dead.There are hundreds of Zhechong mansions in the Tang Dynasty, even if the team of Guan Nei Dao is pulled up, it can turn thousands of people hundreds of times.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.I am still too young, have experienced too few things, and have fewer things to consider.It was also because of those people's hints step by step that they brought me into the ditch just now.

While Li Chengqian was ashamed, his eyes scanned the minister who had just spoken back and forth several times.Then he said: "I still believe in Cheng Guogong's character. Since he is asked to hear the case, it is natural for him to negotiate with the family members of the people involved. I have long been entrusted by the officialdom I have heard that you have done such things when you think about it, so don't hold on to them."

Li Chengqian spoke out with anger, although he didn't say anything to pursue, but it also made these ministers feel a little guilty.

Then Li Chengqian went on to say: "Since you are not at ease, I will send Dai Zhou, the young minister of Dali Temple, to try the case."

In this way, it can be regarded as giving an explanation to those who want to continue to say something, and at the same time secretly warning them that Dali Temple has already taken over, so you should stop making trouble.

A court meeting hurried past in such a strange situation.

When Luo Yan received the news that he didn't need to take care of the affairs of the Chivalry Club, he was startled.Originally, he just wanted to discipline those honorable children through this matter, and then apologize to the suffering master.

If he hadn't been beaten in this matter, then those second generations could spend some money at best, and then they could walk out of Dali Temple safe and sound.

This kind of thing has not happened before.The sufferer took money from others, no matter what the purpose was, as long as the money was used, even if the time came to reverse the case, the family would still be fine.On the contrary, the sufferer can be sued for money fraud and extortion.

It was for this reason that Luo Yan handled the case filed in Chang'an County so calmly before.If they really want to get entangled, the lawsuit will drag on for a year and a half, and this scholar's family has already been ruined, so what kind of injustice should he claim?

Now that I can't intervene in this case, and the people involved in the case are complicated, it is very likely that the way I deal with it in the end is not as good as what I planned before.

really.

Dai Zhou is a veteran in dealing with cases, he is proficient in laws and regulations, and he is good at dancing. He just needs to explain this matter to the sufferer who came to complain.As for things like beating people, in the end, the people in the Chivalry Club were really forced to pay one by one, and then fined them for a few days of nominal labor.

That's the end of it.

When the law is strict, many people complain; but when the law is loose, fewer people complain, but the real victims will suffer great grievances.

For example, this scholar.

The result of Dai Zhou's handling according to the law was even a little lighter than Luo Yan's handling at the beginning.What is reasonable is not necessarily reasonable, and what is reasonable is not necessarily legal.When someone takes power, even if they don't operate in secret, what can ordinary people do?
You have such a deep hatred that you wish to eat flesh and blood of that enemy, but every law can only make him feel at ease.

Luo Yan had never seen the situation of that hard-bodied scholar, because since Dai Zhou announced the result, when Luo Yan went to find the family, he found that everyone had disappeared.

I just heard the neighbors in the neighborhood say that this family seems to be discouraged because of this, and moved to live in other places in the mountains.

For this kind of result, besides anger and dissatisfaction, what else can Luo Yan think.

The next day, on the door and window of the hut along the street where the scholar originally lived, a piece of paper full of words was pasted by a passerby in a hurry.

The people of Chang'an, who were very concerned about this case, naturally would not let go of anything related to it.Seeing things passing by the hut, they were naturally motivated by curiosity and came to watch.

"In the seventh year of Zhenguan, it was the beginning of autumn. In Chang'an, there are honorable heirs, who form an association called Chivalry. There is Liu, the son of a foreign relative, as the leader, and gathers dozens of people. They often surround and beat passers-by for fun..."

Sprinkling thousands of words, it turns out that they have written all the ins and outs of this chivalrous society, including some evil things they have done before.It even used a large amount of pen and ink to describe in detail what happened before and after Luo Yan captured these people.

"I guess this must have been written by an official in the DPRK, otherwise there are a lot of secrets here, and I wouldn't know it so clearly."

"Otherwise, I think it was written by the suffering master. You think, who would have nothing to do to find out the background of those people. On the contrary, many things in the court are caused by us, As long as you have the heart, you can also find someone to ask."

"This man is right. I think this senior must have thought of dying with him, but he moved away in a hurry because he was afraid that his family would be affected."

"exactly."

Although people don't know who wrote this thing, they are more sure that it has a lot to do with the scholar.

In just one day, many scholars who were somewhat dissatisfied with the case rushed to transcribe the article posted in front of the hut.

Those nobles don't have deep contacts with Shilin on weekdays. When they knew about this matter, although they also understood that this would definitely bring some changes to the case that was originally handled, but when they sent someone to tear up this article By then, the article had already spread throughout half of Chang'an.

Shilin is a strange place.

There is never a lack of verbal collisions here.Even because of the confrontation of ideas, many people will pinch each other when they meet.

But this is also an independent circle.

It is the principle that the scholars uphold that brothers stand against the wall and defend themselves against their insults.Yes, this is a matter of principle.Although the scholar who complained is gone now, people in the scholastic community have started to make a fuss about this unfair judgment.

This is no longer a matter for a scholar, but involves the relationship between the entire noble class and scholars.

Although many scholars often choose to serve as staff and guests in the homes of these nobles in order to be able to join the official class of the Tang Dynasty.But there is one thing that needs to be clearly distinguished, that is, serving as an aide, with personality independence, is strictly different from those servants who come and go when they are called.

Although the status will be transformed into the honorable class, it does not mean that they have no position before becoming a follower.

The nobleness of scholars makes them extremely important to the dignity of the entire class.

And Dai Zhou's way of deciding the case happened to ignore their dignity.

A day later, Lu Shengqing, a well-known scribe in Chang'an, wrote a preface to the article that was copied throughout Chang'an.The article clearly points out that although Dai Zhou's judgment of the case was in accordance with the law, it was also a blasphemy against the law.Because the behavior of this chivalrous club had an extremely bad impact on the entire society, it could no longer be treated simply as a wounding case.

Lu Shengqing is a talented scribe among scholars. Although he is not an official, the imperial court has recruited him four times.The reason why he doesn't become an official every time is because he feels that his practice is not enough.

Now as soon as he stood up, someone responded immediately.

The next day, another "First Arrival in Chang'an" caused a big commotion.There's not much to the language of the article, it's the story it tells and the people who write it that really draw.

This article talks about the beating of people by the Chivalry Club when they first came to Chang'an, and the author is Wei Xuantong of Dingzhou.Isn't this the one who came out to stop the chivalrous society and beat people that day? Moreover, this is also Wei Zheng's clan.

As a witness to the whole incident, Wei Xuantong became famous immediately.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and immediately wrote poems, poems, and legends about this matter... But all the styles that could be used were used by the scholars.

Shihlin's backlash officially brought the whole matter to a fever pitch.
