Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 646 Guilty
When Zhao Yuankai scolded, his eyes fell on Xu Wenlin, and his face was very displeased, with the intention of asking for guilt!
This emotional detail was captured by the courtiers in the palace in an instant, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, the matter got too big, and His Majesty was not happy.

Since ancient times, in the eyes of the emperor, the real right and wrong is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the stability of the court and the community!

To put it bluntly, the emperor is on the side of the vast majority of people under a very big concept!
but……

This question made the court hall suddenly silent.

No one dared to stand up and explain directly, and Xu Wenlin, who is Jing Zhaoyi, kept bending his body and gritting his teeth, his face was extremely pale!
"Xu Wenlin!" Zhao Yuankai called the names directly.

"The minister is here!" Xu Wenlin responded and bowed forward.

"Tell me, what's going on? Isn't it just to investigate a case? Why did it make the government and the wild panic?" Zhao Yuankai asked.

The meaning of accountability in this sentence is deep.

There was an undercurrent surging in the court, and many people looked at Xu Wenlin and groaned in their hearts.

Zhang Juzheng and Li Hetu, who were the chief ministers of civil and military affairs, just looked at each other and never expressed their views.

Xu Wenlin didn't reply immediately.

He bowed his body and didn't even dare to look up at Zhao Yuankai, his eyes were fixed on the dragon-carved stone steps on the ground.

"Xu Wenlin, I'm asking you something!" Zhao Yuankai's tone became more serious, and his majestic voice echoed endlessly in the hall!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since I was promoted to Chang'an Jingzhaoyi, I have been familiar with the shortcomings and felt resentful. It happened that there was a sinful relative in the mansion who disregarded the law and offended the Holy Majesty, so I made up my mind to enforce the law impartially and do my best. Clean up Chang'an!"

"As for the panic in Chang'an City, I don't think there is anything wrong with the Jingzhao Mansion. Everything is done according to the law, and no one has been wronged!"

Xu Wenlin finally spoke, with a firm tone.

but……

Just after he finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!"

"Zoo!" Zhao Yuan waved his sleeves.

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng raised his face, and his eyes met Zhao Yuankai's. Zhao Yuankai immediately knew what the veteran wanted to say.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister has quite objections to the words of Lord Jingzhao Yixu!" Zhang Juzheng said.

As soon as these words came out, the entire court hall suddenly became restless.

This is the chief assistant of the cabinet. The right to speak in this court can be said to be second only to His Majesty today. Now, even he has expressed his opinion!

The atmosphere has completely changed.

"Any objections, tell me?" Zhao Yuan nodded.

Xu Wenlin was shocked at this time, he took a look at Zhang Juzheng, this is the elder Zhang Ge whom he admired and respected the most, he originally thought that this humerus old minister would discern the truth and speak for him, but he did not expect it to be so!
It was also at this time that Xu Wenlin suddenly remembered what his daughter said last night.

Even if the court turns against you, everyone criticizes you, even His Majesty doesn't want to see you, you must stand firm and never waver!
And now, is it because the court turned against everyone?
As long as Ge Lao expresses his position, it basically declares that he Jingzhao Mansion is completely on the opposite side.

"Your Majesty, although the original intention of the Jingzhao Mansion to clean up Chang'an is commendable, it seems that the actual actions have long since changed. These days, the old minister has received too many grievances and complaints from the ministers of the court, which has seriously affected the normal operation of the court. !"

"As far as I know, Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion alone has arrested more than 600 people, almost involving the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and most of the Chang'an clan!"

"One person is guilty, there is nothing wrong with that! But if the majority of people are guilty, please forgive the ignorance of the old minister. The old minister can no longer tell who is the real guilty person!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed and stepped back.

Zhang Juzheng's words are really brilliant.

He didn't clearly say who was right and who was wrong, but he just threw out the introduction. To put it bluntly, he just brought a rhythm, and it was an extremely clever rhythm!

It is not a big deal to arrest one person and two people, even if it is a misjudgment.

However, once all of them are caught, and most of them are caught, then the core contradiction of the matter is no longer whether these people are guilty or not, but rises to doubt the rationality and correctness of this ruling action itself!

Sin and most, often only two possibilities!
Or, the court is rotten, and everyone is indeed guilty.

Or, the adjudicator's ass is crooked, and he is carrying out a retaliation bulletin to avenge his personal revenge!

As soon as these words came out, the whole house applauded!
"Ge Lao is not bad for Ge Lao, what he said is very true!"

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, and the minister thought that what the old man said hit the nail on the head!"

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, and the minister thinks... Jingzhao Mansion's heart is worthy of reconsideration!"

"Your Majesty, after the sixth year of Tianwu, the land of Han was stable and the government was renewed. Today, in the seventh year of Wu, the courtiers are even more active. Why is everyone guilty in the eyes of Jingzhao Mansion at this time?"

"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for a long time to be wronged. Please be enlightened by Your Majesty. Don't chill the hearts of the courtiers!"

All of a sudden, there were rumors in the court.

Zhao Yuankai's expression didn't change in any way, but he sighed lightly in his heart, this scene was what he wanted.

"Xu Wenlin, you have heard the words of Mr. Ge and all the lovers, how can you explain?" Zhao Yuankai threw the question to Xu Wenlin again.

However, after all, I was a little worried in my heart, fearing that Xu Wenlin would not be able to withstand it.

Zhang Juzheng's introduction was so brilliant that even Zhao Yuankai was amazed by it, but he just didn't know if Xu Wenlin could comprehend it.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Juzheng threw the question, and the answers before him were those two, but the real answer was not like this!
What is it?
It is the incompleteness of the national law code!
Is the Jingzhao government bending the law for personal gain?Obviously not, he arrested 600 people, all of which are based on the crimes in the book!

But, is the court really rotten?Is everyone guilty?
Nor is it!
Strictly speaking, it is not guilty, it is wrong!
You see, the ones who are arrested are all dude sons, who use their power in the family to engage in some petty tricks of a marginal nature, such as gaining some benefits in infrastructure projects, or using their power to force and bully others.

You asked if it was murder and arson?But no.

Ask if you have pulled out the adults who are officials in the court and come out to express favoritism?nor!

Even if it is the most serious problem of the outflow of soldiers in this turmoil, there are actually many loopholes, because the management of soldiers has not risen to the level of legislation and sentencing, it is just a sentence opened by Zhao Yuan at the beginning!

To put it simply, it is just an order to prohibit, without a clear sentencing!
Another, and most important point, is that the laws and regulations of different places are also very different. Some things are serious crimes in Chang'an, but they are nothing in Luoyang!
