Although Lu Chengqing was cautious, his affairs were still neat and neat. He would not wait for the censorship, because the evidence presented by the Civil Security Bureau was conclusive and they had no reason to delay it. Therefore, after discussing the litigation charges, he formally filed a criminal lawsuit with Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple Minister Xin Mao was very depressed. He felt that he was the Dali Temple Minister to help Li Yifu wipe his butt. Every now and then, the Li Yifu family had to cause trouble, but there was no way. This person was in the court and could not help himself.

However, this case is not as good as the Bi Zhengyi case. One side is too weak and the other side is too strong. He must be the stronger side. However, in the Ci'en Temple case, the two sides have equal forces, which is very difficult to deal with.

So, after receiving the lawsuit from the Ministry of Justice, he immediately came to Xu Jingzong and Wang Dejian discussed countermeasures.

"Since killing?"

After hearing this, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but frown slightly, "It seems that the Ministry of Justice has no intention of showing mercy, and is trying to kill Li Yang!"

Wang Dejian was also frowning, "Li Yi Mansion loves his youngest son the most, and even Liu Yuanzhen has been involved in this. From the current perspective, Li Yi Mansion should not be implicated. If we don't help at all, we will be afraid we will hold a grudge!"

Xu Jingzong asked: "Is there a way to save Li Yang's life first?"

Xin Maojiang said: "The evidence is conclusive. It is too difficult to help Li Yang's life. The Pei family must have Li Yang killed someone and paid for his life."

He was afraid that Xu Jingzong would put pressure on him, and he didn't want to be blamed. Not to mention being accused of being accused of, even if he was sentenced to fight and kill, he would be very likely to be implicated.

Wang Dejian pondered for a moment and said, "The queen came forward in person, but the clearest instructions given to us are to deal with it impartially. Therefore, I think we should act as if we are in line with the rules, just try to help Li Yi's mansion. The rest should be left to the queen for handling."

Xu Jingzong nodded thoughtfully

Li's Mansion.

"Master, news has been heard from the Ministry of Justice that the Ministry of Justice has officially filed a lawsuit with Dali Temple and wants to sue the third prince for the crime of killing him."

"What-what, so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-

Li Yifu was shocked when he heard this.

"Um."

"Bang!"

"It's outrageous!"

Li Yifu slapped the table suddenly and stood up, "Okay, Lu Chengqing, you actually put a spoil. I won't let you go."

Just then, a woman walked in through the side door, "Husband, what should I do? Yanger is still so young, you can't let him die like this. Woo--!"

"You know how to cry. You cry all day long. If you have the ability, you will cry your baby son out." Li Yifu waved his hands and roared.

"What can I do, a woman? You are the prime minister, but you can't even protect your own son. Why do you want to betray me?" Mrs. Li also took the initiative.

"You—! I'm too lazy to tell you."

Li Yifu waved his hand and left angrily. Now he had no choice but to think about it. Because Wu Meiniang came up and left him idle at home, it was just to hint him not to act rashly. Therefore, during this period, he really did not move at all and stayed at home honestly. Moreover, Wei Siqian on the shore came to him every now and then, staring at him tightly, and he couldn't move, so he placed all his hope on Wu Meiniang.

But at this point, Wu Meiniang still has no action at all. If this is a judgment, it will be difficult to operate again.

At this time, Li Yifu was also panicked, and he had to find a way out himself.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to Xu Mansion."

"yes."

But Li Yifu just arrived in front of the door and was about to get on the bus, Yu Guang suddenly saw two familiar faces standing on the corner of the street looking at him, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "You Wei Siqian, I want to kill me all the time. If my son has a few mistakes, I want your family to be buried with you."

"Master, are we going yet?"

Li Yifu got on the carriage without saying a word and said, "Let me wander around Chang'an City for a day, no, let me go to the suburbs."

"Ah? Yes yes yes."

However, his anger did not stop the litigation process of the Ministry of Justice. Lu Chengqing was not stupid either. The moment before the lawsuit, someone released news that the Ministry of Justice had filed a lawsuit and wanted to sue Li Yang for the crime of killing.

No one has any objection to this crime, but everyone just has opinions about Dali Temple. Because of the Bi Zhengyi case, the reputation of Dali Temple was severely damaged. These nobles stared at Dali Temple, and there were also related to the nobles inside Dali Temple. Zhang Ruice was a representative figure. Xin Mao could not delay it even if he wanted to, so he could only do things according to the rules and tried Li Yang, Liu Yuanzhen and others.

There is no suspense about Liu Yuanzhen. In fact, Xin Mao and others did not pay much attention to Liu Yuanzhen because his crimes were relatively light and he had an official position to protect his health. Because the laws of feudal society clearly protected the rights and interests of officials, he was convicted in the first instance.

The key is Li Yang.

General Xin Mao was in charge of the trial personally. He wanted to lead Li Yang to the fight, but Lu Chengqing was prepared for it. This time he must sue Li Yang for the crime and must not tolerate it. He raised all kinds of evidence. Regarding the law, General Xin Mao was not Lu Chengqing's opponent. He was defeated in a short while. General Xin Mao did not dare to do anything randomly and did not fight with Lu Chengqing.

However, according to the Tang Dynasty system, Dali Temple had to hold an internal meeting to discuss what crime was convicted. This is the so-called eight-controversial system. Most officials participating in the trial had to express their opinions. This was to avoid a person making decisions and causing unjust cases. Even if the Dali Temple Minister forced a punishment, the officials participating in the trial still had to write their opinions on the judgment.

There are two factions inside Dali Temple, one is the Guanlong Group, and the other is the Li Yi Mansion and Xu Jingzong.

The Li Yi Mansion naturally hopes to convict and fight and kill. The Guanlong Group led by Zhang Ruice must be convicted of the crime of the former killing. In fact, there are more people in the Li Yi Mansion. They wanted to seize Dali Temple to protect their rights! But there is another Ministry of Justice below, with conclusive evidence and people who cannot go against the will of heaven.

Xin Mao would not want to take this responsibility, but he would not want to offend Li Yifu, because the Censorate had not yet obtained any evidence, and Li Yifu was very likely to be out of the matter. Then he was still the Secretariat. The prime minister of the dynasty, as an official, could not ignore this. This was a direct boss. This was also the disadvantage of feudal society. The interests of the ruling class must be safeguarded. Therefore, Xin Mao would finally decide to pass the lawsuit of the Ministry of Justice to convict Li Yang of the crime of murder. Because you do not sentence the crime of murder, you cannot submit it to the emperor. Only the death penalty is qualified to allow the emperor to take a personal examination. However, according to regulations, he must write everyone's opinions into the memorial, and he also stated in the memorial that he can handle it at his discretion.

Wu Meiniang asked them to treat this case as an ordinary murder case, but this is impossible. If you can get Li Yi Mansion out of office first, you don’t have to think too much. Just do it to death. Everyone pushes it down. But the problem is that Li Yi Mansion is very likely to be punished. Who dares to do this randomly? Even in the 21st century, it will be impossible. In the end, it will be left to Liangyi Palace to decide.

After Wu Meiniang received the confession, she immediately summoned the ministers to discuss. Of course, Li Yi's mansion was excluded. Li Ji and Ren Yaxiang did not come. Li Ji didn't like to care about this matter, and Wu Meiniang was embarrassed to disturb him again. Ren Yaxiang wanted to deal with Zhaoyi Academy. She was busy and had no time. Of course, he didn't want to come if he had time.

Only Xu Jingzong, Du Zhenglun, Han Yi, Wei Siqian, Lu Chengqing, Xu Shishi, and Xin Mao generals were left here for the meeting.

Wu Meiniang first showed them the verdict of Dali Temple. After they all finished reading it, she asked, "What do you think?"

Xu Jingzong immediately stood up and said, "Empress, I think that although Dali Temple finally decided to sentence Li Yang to commit suicide, the officials of Dali Temple have great controversy over the case. Moreover, these disputes should be worth considering. Li Yang was young and ignorant, and the evidence was enough to show that Li Yang had no intention of killing people, but it was just a momentary impulse in despair. Our dynasty has never easily sentenced to death, and this person's life is at stake. Therefore, I think the court should handle it as appropriate and give Li Yang a chance."

Du Zhenglun immediately said: "Xu Shizhong's words are wrong. Our dynasty is indeed very cautious about the death penalty, but it is just because he is afraid of unjust cases. Because once this person dies, it will be meaningless to clear the wrongs. However, Li Yang's crime is conclusive, and this has nothing to do with our dynasty's attitude towards the death penalty. Moreover, this person's life is related to the age. If Li Yang's crime is reduced because of his young age, many people will definitely use their children to commit crimes, which is even more harmful to the law!"

"Well said!"

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Du Zhongshu's words are really a warning to the world. This is why our dynasty is so cautious about the law. Because a slight negligence will cause a disaster and have a profound impact. As for this case, I have already explained that it is necessary to deal with it as an ordinary case. Since the evidence is conclusive, there is no discretion to deal with it. According to the trial of Dali Temple, Li Yang was sentenced to the crime of being killed and sentenced to death."

Almost all the ministers present were shocked. They thought this was a routine. Dali Temple deliberately created a controversy and gave the queen a reason to help Li Yi's mansion step down. However, they did not expect that Wu Meiniang made a decision without saying a word.

Except for the only one person, this person is Han Yi. He had already expected that this might be the result. Because he had the concept of Wu Zetian, he knew that Wu Meiniang had great ambitions, so he gave up and let Wu Meiniang perform as much as possible. This time, no matter whether it was a minister in the court, aristocrats or a common people, they were all on the side of the Pei family. No matter how big the matter was, you would kill the person. If you let this go, who would dare to go out?

If Wu Meiniang really wants to protect Li Yang, she will not stand up. Since Wu Meiniang has stood up, she must be fair. If you are not fair, this political show is a very failure.

"If you have any opinions, you might as well raise them." Wu Meiniang smiled softly.

Everyone felt warm in their hearts. The queen was indeed fair. We blamed her wrongly. They said in unison: "The Queen is Virtue."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Why don't you know when the execution will be executed?"

Xin Mao will say: "There is no provision for this, but according to the death penalty case sentenced in the past, unless you commit a crime of great rebellion, such as killing your father and mother, or treason, you must be executed immediately. In the case of Li Yang, you usually wait for execution in the autumn of the next year. The court does this to prevent unjust cases."

Du Zhenglun said: "Xin Shangqing, I have said just now that the evidence in this case is conclusive and there is no possibility of an unjust case." As he said that, he said to Wu Meiniang again: "Report to the Empress, I think the case is causing a lot of controversy, and the people are also talking about it. The court should execute the sentence immediately to calm the public's anger and not delay it."

Xu Jingzong immediately said: "Du Zhongshu, you are biased. Even if you deal with it impartially, you have to follow the rules and be executed next year, not only because of unjust cases, but more importantly, it reflects the benevolent political and national ideas of the monarch of our dynasty. We should not be executed immediately just because Li Yang is the son of Li Zhongshu. In this way, local people will follow the example in the future, which will destroy our dynasty's legal thinking."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Shima Zheng Xu's words are reasonable. When will he be executed, it is not a big deal. You can't lose the big picture because of a small amount. I also agree with Shima Zheng Xu's suggestions, but in the end, His Majesty will have to give instructions in person."

She just came forward to deal with this matter, but she couldn't write an imperial edict.

Wu Meiniang suddenly looked at Wei Siqian again and said, "Wei Zhongcheng, is there any result in the case of whether Li Zhongshu sheltering Li Yang?"

Wei Siqian hesitated for a moment and stood up and said, "Report to the Queen, I am not sure that Li Zhongshu has yet to find evidence that he has covered up Li Yang."

Han Yi covered his mouth and almost laughed. He knew that if Li Zhi was sitting on it, Wei Siqian would definitely sue Li Yifu if there was any evidence. The Censorate has the qualifications and did the same in the past, but Wu Meiniang was sitting on it. Wu Meiniang had said before that if there is evidence to make a case, it cannot be handled at the discretion of the matter without substantial evidence. If he has no evidence and he still wants to sue, then can Li Yang handle it at the discretion?

He had prepared a lot of words, but he couldn't say it. He was afraid that he wouldn't get the watermelon, so he threw away the sesame seeds in his hand.

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly and smiled, "I have heard of Wei Zhongcheng's loyalty. I have long heard of this. I also think that Li Yifu is indeed questionable and supports the Censorate to participate in the investigation. However, now Li Yang's case has been determined, and the Secretariat is the prime minister. The Secretariat has accumulated a lot of things waiting for Li Zhongshu to investigate. If you have to continue investigating, then the Li Yifu will definitely not return to the Secretariat. Look--!"

Wu Meiniang’s routine is very profound!

Wei Siqian said unwillingly: "What the queen said is, I also think that this case should be ended."

Wu Meiniang nodded, glanced at her eyes and said, "But during the review of this case, I have gained some experience. In fact, if Li Yang is sentenced to death, Pei Qingfeng can never be resurrected. My Tang Dynasty still lost a young talent, which is a pity. Therefore, in my opinion, the best law is a law that can prevent the occurrence of murders and can only give fair punishment. It is not the best law. I wonder what you think?"
