The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2136
Zhong Jian walked up to Lu Xiufu, handed the memorial of Xing Wang Zhao Lusheng to Lu Xiufu, and said: "I thought that among the seven county kings, at least one or two could speak from the perspective of national law. , support us in handling it impartially. Heh, I didn’t expect that there wasn’t even a single one, and even let us deal with it lightly, which is already the most polite words.”

After all, Lu Xiufu was much older than Zhong Jian, and his energy-raising skills were extraordinary. Hearing this, he chuckled, "After all, he is the king of the county, so it's normal for them to behave like this."

There are a total of nine county kings in the Great Song Dynasty. Except for Zhao and Luo who are unique, the other eight can be said to be all prosperous and all lost.

Therefore, Lu Xiufu didn't find it strange at all, and even the response of the other seven county kings was within his expectation.

"Of course they won't let us deal with King Jian lightly."

Wang Wenfu also said with a smile on the side: "The eight county kings have the same roots, and their status and identities are almost the same. If King Jian is convicted, the other county kings..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone in this room could understand what he meant.

The eight county kings all serve in the royal family group, and they are flourishing. I am afraid that no one is clean.King Jian was exonerated, and they can still get away with it in the future, and they are a privileged class.

And if King Jian is dealt with by the national law, then the rest of the county kings will not escape the sanction of the national law if they show their feet in the future.It's not even any different from ordinary people.

This is the last barrier for their royal relatives.

So for them, it is impossible to demand justice.At the very least, King Jian has to be dealt with lightly, so that they can act cheaply in the future.

"Then what shall we do?" Zhong Jian said.

Lu Xiufu laughed again when he heard the words, "Isn't it already decided to deal with King Jian's matter according to the law? This is also what the emperor meant."

"Ok!"

Zhong Jian nodded, "That's it!"

Lu Xiufu shook his head, "You are still so cunning."

He finally understood that Zhong Jian didn't understand these principles.He just said that on purpose in front of everyone.

What Zhong Jian wanted was to get the full support of these old guys.After all, although Zhong Jian supervised the country, he was far from having the prestige of the emperor in the court.Only with the concerted efforts of these people, can the royal family group be firmly suppressed.

Several days passed.

The central cabinet suddenly released the news that the Supreme Court will hold a public trial of King Jian Zhao Xu, his son Zhao Di and others on the fifth day of July.

It's like a big stone dropped in a pond, breaking the ripples.The matter of Prince Jian's Mansion instantly became the hottest topic at the moment.

The number of people involved in this case is as many as nearly a hundred. Apart from the officials and the royal family, it also involves people from many industries.

They can all be said to be quite prominent figures.

As for some of the little ones, they didn't even plan to be taken to Changsha, and they were directly tried and convicted in various criminal yamen.

The news spread to the outside of Changsha City at an extremely fast speed.

In the following time, Zhong Jian and others faced pressure from all sides.Even some family members were persuaded to intercede with King Jian Zhao Xu.

Obviously several county kings also have some connections in Changsha City, but these connections were not obvious before.

They tried to make Zhong Jian and others make concessions through such pressure.

It's just that they didn't know that Zhong Jian, Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and the others had all gotten well.

Even in the face of family pleadings, they only said that the emperor broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime.Moreover, the date of the public trial has been set and cannot be changed.

They are the Ministers of State Supervision and Associate Ministers, representing the imperial court.If the decree is changed overnight, the majesty of the court will disappear.

These words silenced all those pleading voices.

In a blink of an eye, the fifth day of July arrived as scheduled.

Even Wang Wenfu and Zhao Yuluo attended the joint trial of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Ministry of Supervision, and the Clan Mansion.

If Zhao Xu and Zhao Di were not both direct relatives of the royal family, even the clan's family would not be able to handle this matter.In terms of credibility, the current Clan Mansion is far inferior to Ti Xing Province.

In terms of trial, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has absolute authority.

Even though it was still early in the morning, there were already many people around the highest yamen of Tixing Province.

In the midst of the sun, Zhao Xu and others were escorted by the guards of the Supervision Province to the highest yamen of the Tiping Province.All of a sudden, it was very lively.

Some of the onlookers presumably had been persecuted by Zhao Xu and others before, and were very angry.The rational ones just applaud, while the irrational ones throw rotten vegetables and eggs.

This is also a "good tradition".

Most of the people including Zhao Xu lowered their heads, their faces ashen.There are only people who are used to viciousness, glaring at the surrounding people.

These people can be said to be of the third class, which is enough to show that Zhao Xu has been corrupted quite thoroughly.This can be regarded as losing the face of the royal family.

On the surface, he regarded himself as the emperor's relative and county king, but secretly, he made friends with these people. It has to be said that it is a great irony.
