The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 649
The capital of the gods, the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Today coincided with Yu Yanyi Xiumu, who was thinking about the court situation at home, when the old servant came in.

Yu Yanyi is a clean and honest official, and he will not accept any kind of fire consumption, ice respect, or carbon respect.

With his monthly salary alone, he can only maintain the mansion and food and clothing.

In the huge Yu mansion, there is only one old servant, one handyman and two rough envoys.

"Master, there is a man named Zhao outside the door, claiming to be Jin Yiwei, who came to see the master."

"Jin Yiwei!?" Yu Yanyi frowned, and put down the pen in his hand.

He is a civil official leader, the minister of the imperial court, and has no contact with most of the dark six departments. Only the six doors have some friendship with the Shenhou Mansion, and he has never had any relationship with organizations directly under the emperor, such as Jinyiwei and East and West Factory. Intersection, why would someone visit him at this time.

"Let's say I'm out to visit friends, and I'm not at home right now."

Yu Yanyi thought for a while, but still didn't plan to meet the visitor.

"Er..., master, the visitor just said, let me hand over this letter to the master. You will meet him naturally."

Yu Yanyi took the letter, and at the moment he didn't think too much, thinking that there were quite a few people who came to Yufu to intercede, and many of them brought letters of recommendation.

Yu Yanyi opened the letter, and his expression changed slightly.

"Go and invite people in!"

The visitor entered Yu Yanyi's study.

"Jinyiwei Qianhu Zhao Zheng has met my lord!"

"Zhao Qianhu, I seldom interfere with the affairs of the Sixth Ministry of Darkness. Jin Yiwei is even the emperor's pro-army. I don't know why you are here?!"

Yu Yanyi seldom dealt with Jinyiwei on weekdays. The most recent time was when he cooperated with Beizhen Fusi during the Battle of Jinyang. Beizhen Fusi provided information for Yu Yanyi.

It should be that the civil official group had relatively little contact with the Jinyiwei. Instead, the Six Doors, which nominally belonged to the Ministry of Punishment and occasionally took on the role of guards, got closer to the civil official group.

"Master Yu, I have already dealt with all the spies watching around! You don't have to worry!"

Yu Yanyi looked at Zhao Zheng, and began to look squarely at this thousand households of Jinyiwei.

He is about 35 years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. Although he is in Jinyiwei, the righteousness between his brows is quite different from the gloomy temperament of ordinary Jinyiwei.

"What did Zhao Qianhu want to say when he came here?!"

Zhao Zheng stood up suddenly, half kneeling on the ground.

"My lord, please save His Royal Highness the King of Chu. He has never had the intention of rebelling against him, let alone making jade seals and dragon robes for himself!"

Zhao came here for the King of Chu. If there is anyone in the capital who can save the King of Chu, it is the upright, loyal and pure chief minister of the cabinet.

Yu Yanyi took the momentum of victory in the Jinyang War to help the building to collapse, and he was the chief assistant. His opinion is not to mention the new emperor Zhu Zhankun, even the Emperor Zhou who has ruled the world for more than [-] years The emperor also needs to think carefully.

What Zhao Zheng said, Yu Yanyi didn't know!
The so-called evidence now can't prove the fact that the king of Chu rebelled.

And those who really want to rebel must also make jade seals and dragon robes privately.

The King of Chu is the vassal king in Beijing. If the general vassal prince wanted to rebel, he would naturally need to make dragon robes and jade seals to establish his authority.

And if the king of Chu really wanted to rebel, he could only launch a mutiny in the capital. If he succeeded, he would not need the private dragon robes; if he failed, these dragon robes would not be needed either.

The only meaning of these dragon robes is to prove the crime of the king of Chu's rebellion, which is too outrageous.

After all, the king of Chu is not a fool, and he would not be so stupid as to do such a self-incriminating thing.

Not only Yu Yanyi can see it, but how many old foxes in the court can't see it? !
Seeing it is one thing, but no one can break the situation!

Now the new emperor concluded that the logic of the king of Chu's rebellion is a presumption of guilt.

Through the jade seals and dragon robes found from the palace of the king of Chu, as well as the letters of the king of Chu and the soldiers of the Shenwu Army, it is proved that the king of Chu conspired against him.

Now it is necessary to find evidence to prove the innocence of the king of Chu after the rebellion of the king of Chu has been confirmed.

This is an impossible task.

To prove that a person committed a crime is very simple, just check the facts.

But what to do to prove that a person has not committed a crime? !
In the presumption of innocence, the judge needs to prove the crime of the criminal with a complete chain of evidence and strict logic.

But the presumption of guilt has led to the inversion of the burden of proof, requiring the suspect himself to prove that he has not committed a crime.

Since Yang Qingyuan took over the Dali Temple, the highest political and legal institution in the Great Zhou Dynasty has begun to popularize the concept of trial without suspicion.

Most of the officials, including the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, accepted Yang Qingyuan's concept.

Of course, this is not because they are all loyal and righteous ministers with extremely high legal thinking.

It's because it's a better choice for every individual to never suspect guilt.

Of course, for Yang Qingyuan, it would be great if he could successfully implement his legal views.

It is true that if there is no suspicion, the real culprit may be indulged, but if there is no suspicion, the innocent will be wronged.

Indulging a real culprit once in a while is actually not that terrible, because the power of a single person is limited, and the destructive power is also limited.However, if the principle of evidence is deviated from the conviction of suspicion, then there will be many unjust cases and everyone will be in danger.

The lesser of two evils, a world without injustice is far more valuable than a world without thieves, and it is more worth pursuing.

Of course, Yang Qingyuan also discussed with a group of capable ministers from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the procedure for determining the evidence of the case, and introduced a set of conviction rules that conformed to the times.

But this point is not very valued by people, it is covered up by Yang Qingyuan's military talent and criminal investigation ability.

After all, since he was released from the Imperial Academy, he started his career by fighting chaos in the world and solving major and important cases.

The Battle of the Northern Territory and the Battle of Jinyang completely established Yang Qingyuan's position in the court.

After Yu Yanyi explained the matter clearly to Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng also knew that this matter was really difficult.

If other things are changed, Yu Yanyi can naturally come forward, but the Chu king's matter is not only a case, but also a political conspiracy. If there is no evidence, even if Yu Yanyi insists on acting as the Chu king's advice, the outcome will not be the same. any changes.

"Besides..."

A wry smile appeared on Yu Yanyi's face.

When Zhao Zheng saw this, he knew what Yu Yanyi was worried about. When he entered Yu's mansion just now, there were too many spies monitoring Yu's mansion.

If it is necessary to monitor a chief minister of the cabinet, it is definitely the new emperor's action to send so many people to monitor Yu Yanyi's mansion in all directions.

Of course, this action of the new emperor has also been noticed by Yu Yanyi.

Before Cao Xueyang's visit, he had already found himself under surveillance.

It should be from the East Factory or the West Factory.

The power holders of these two families are all eunuchs who were born dependent on the emperor. They are definitely the most loyal to the emperor among the six dark tribes.

Of the remaining four families, Zhu Wushi of Hulong Mountain Villa, needless to say, is deeply scheming and scheming.

Liu Dufeng was the late emperor's confidant, but he was very close to Yang Qingyuan, so the new emperor would not use the Six Doors first.

The Shenhou Mansion is not involved in court disputes, but only investigates important cases and arrests vicious bandits.

As for the more functions of Jin Yiwei, it is reflected in stabilizing the various places in Da Zhou and checking the intelligence of Da Zhou Yi. The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the four commanders have never met the new emperor, so they will definitely not use it.

There are only two factories in the east and west, which exist to monitor courtiers and check and balance each other.

"Master Yu! Then can you help me meet His Highness the King of Chu?"

Faced with Zhao Zheng's request, Yu Yanyi still shook his head helplessly. The current king of Chu is being imprisoned in the sky prison, but he is guarded by people from Xichang.

Although he is the chief minister of the cabinet, the people in Xichang may not buy his account, not to mention that the new monarch has begun to send people to monitor his every move. His face is off.

Faced with Yanyi's silence, Zhao Zheng also knew that he could not intervene too much in this case.

As long as Yu Yanyi didn't rebel, he was just a courtier, and no matter how unstable Zhu Zhankun's foundation was, he was still a king.

"Thank you sir for meeting me today!"

Zhao Zheng bowed to Yu Yanyi.

Yu Yanyi waved his hand, "Zhao Qianhu is too polite, and I can't help you?! However, in the case of the king of Chu, personally, I believe in the king of Chu. If Zhao Qianhu can If there is evidence to prove His Royal Highness King Chu’s innocence, I am willing to stand on the Hanyuan Palace with the evidence in hand to admonish the emperor to death for His Highness King Chu!”

This is Yu Yanyi's promise to Zhao Zheng.Although he couldn't save the king of Chu, he was willing to support the king of Chu when the evidence appeared.

In the battle of Jinyang, he once fought side by side with the king of Chu.

A prince like King Chu who fought bloody for his country and fearless of life and death should not die in a political conspiracy.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhao Zheng also knew that this was the best Yu Yanyi could do.

After bowing to Yu Yanyi, Zhao Zheng's figure disappeared in the mansion.

Looking at Zhao Zheng who left, Yu Yanyi couldn't help but sighed, "I didn't expect that among the friends of the King of Chu, there are such loyal and chivalrous men like Yu Rang."

Yurang was Zhibo's retainer in ancient times, and he received Zhibo's kindness. Zhibo was killed by Zhao Xiangzi, and his head was made into a wine vessel. Unrecognizable, swallowing charcoal to change his voice, and finally lurking under the bridge to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi failed, and was arrested by him.

The case of the King of Chu is almost a foregone conclusion, but under such circumstances, Zhao Zheng is not only in no hurry to get rid of his relationship with the King of Chu, but is still working hard for the King of Chu. He is really a righteous man.

A moment later, a long sigh came from Yu Yanyi's study.

"The mountain and rain are about to come and the wind is full of buildings!"

……
-
on the grassland.

Three top experts from outside the domain are standing in front of Zhang Sanfeng.

"What? You also want to fight the old man?!"

Bashiba took a step back when he heard the words. The Jinlun national teacher who appeared in the battle of the northern border before was the national teacher of the Golden Horde Khanate, and Bashiba was the national teacher of Dagan and the emperor Qiandi relied on. A master of celestial phenomena and earth realms, his God Extinguishing Palm and the Dafa of Changing the Sky and Strike the Earth are extremely powerful.

In particular, the method of changing the sky and striking the earth is a spiritual miracle, which can detect and confuse the other party's thoughts, and can make anyone reveal the secrets hidden in their hearts.

He had received a letter from Pang Ban, and when he heard that the devil who fought against the evil emperor had reappeared in the world, he planned to come here to join hands with Pang Ban to fight against the enemy.

Now that Xu Fu has been beaten to death by Zhang Sanfeng, the purpose of his trip is gone.

As for fighting Zhang Sanfeng, after seeing Xu Fu's end, Ba Shiba stopped thinking about fighting.

Although he is an eminent monk and the leader of the Sakya sect, he tried in vain to see through the mystery of the cycle of life and death, but he hasn't found it yet, so he doesn't want to die for the time being.

The magician Pang Ban has a completely different attitude from Ba Shiba, his eyes are full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit, the strength of Zhenwu Taoist makes Pang Ban feel excited, he needs such an opponent to sharpen himself.

But Pang Ban is in a tangle of indecision.

Now he can't even match Xu Fu, let alone the old Taoist priest who killed Xu Fu with two moves.

In the end, Pang Ban still calmed down, but this also made the road ahead for the magician a little clearer.

One day, he will go to Wudang in person and ask this true martial master the way of Tai Chi.

As for the last Padmasambhava, he should be the one with the highest martial arts and realm among the three.

The Buddha's heart is transformed, and the lotus is born.

When he was young, he ate sacrifices and wore shrouds, and finally realized Buddhism.

This is an eminent monk who is not inferior to Bodhidharma in terms of Buddhist practice.

Self-created martial arts, Guru Rinpoche's eight transformations are even more unpredictable.

"Amitabha, Daoist Zhang, the poor monk came here to subdue the demon, and had no other intentions. Now that the demon master has been beheaded by the real man, the poor monk should leave."

Like Ba Shiba, he was invited by Pang Ban to deal with Xu Fu, the devil.

As for why these three people knew about Xu Fuzhi, Zhao Min wrote to Ruyang Palace to inform them.

Yang Qingyuan made the lingering fear in Zhao Min's heart fade a bit, and she began to think of ways to deal with that old monster like a god and demon, and the first thing she thought of was the Palace Master Mage.

Ruyang Palace has a very close relationship with the Magician's Palace, and the owner of the Magician's Palace intends to accept her as an apprentice.

Therefore, at the time of Tianma Ji, Zhao Min once notified the Magician Palace with a letter.

"Since the devil, Di Shitian, has already been put to death, then I will take my leave!"

Pang Ban bowed his hands to Zhang Sanfeng and saluted.

It's not that he is afraid of Zhang Sanfeng, it's the basic respect for a martial arts senior.

Zhang Sanfeng also deserves the respect of his mage.

"However, the father of Princess Shaomin misses her very much, and hopes that Master Zhang will allow me to bring him back."

Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Yang Qingyuan when he heard the words, and knew what his junior brother meant. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhao Min say, "Palace Master Pang, my master is seriously injured and needs someone to take care of him. Now, I should go back to the manor to pay my respects to my father. Thank you, Palace Mistress, for your kindness!"

Seeing that Zhao Min didn't seem to be threatened by others, Pang Ban naturally didn't continue to ask.

After bowing to Zhang Sanfeng, he retreated with Bashiba and Lianhuasheng.

Although everyone belongs to different countries, there is no enmity between life and death, and there is no conflict of interest.

Except for Pang Ban, Bashiba and Lianhuasheng had no intention of competing with Zhang Sanfeng.

Xu Fu was killed by Zhang Sanfeng, for the three of them, it was already the best result.
