The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 979: Empathy? [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

Frame-up is the specialty of Shadow Secret Guard and Luowang. In the past, Luowang was asked to take the blame, but now he cannot bear the blame for killing the remnants of the Five Kingdoms and the nobles.

Now that Bingzhou has stepped forward, even if Ying Zheng does not give the order, with Hei Bai Xuan Jian's brain, he will still intervene.

In other words, Zhang Han was still too immature.

Ying Zheng felt that without his order, Zhang Han might just sit there and watch the fun, eating fruits imported from the Western Regions.

Beiye Royal City.

An Qisheng, Zhao Gao and others watched the Suzaku formation fly away.

"It's strange that Han Fei didn't show up again this time. Is it because Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang's relationship with Han Fei is not as good as Wei Zhuang's?" Zhao Gao suddenly asked.

Although as the Imperial Censor, he no longer regarded Han Fei as his lifelong enemy, but after all, he was a former opponent, so he still gave him some respect.

"Stop bullying the Chief Justice!" Anqisheng rolled his eyes at Zhao Gao.

"He's stupid to begin with, and yet you still bully him like this." Gongsun Linglong was also speechless.

"I'm just stupid, not brainless!" Han Fei, who had been squatting in the crowd with no sense of existence, finally couldn't help but speak.

Is he so brainless in the eyes of these three people?
He saved Wei Zhuang because the crime Wei Zhuang committed could be big or small, and he had a chance to save him.

What did Zhang Liang do?

He forged imperial orders, framed generals, usurped military power, and instigated treason.

Any one of these four major crimes is an unforgivable crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family.

Moreover, the crime committed by Wei Zhuang would not shake the stability of Bingzhou, so he dared to rescue him.

As for Zhang Liang, he seized military power and forged imperial decrees, both of which were crimes that shook the foundation of Bingzhou. Han Fei was, no matter what, the Chief Justice of Bingzhou.

What is a judicial inspector? He is responsible for reopening unjust, false and wrong cases, especially death penalty cases.

However, all the death penalty cases he had tried over the years were not as serious as the crime Zhang Liang committed.

Another point is that in the long list of the Military Control Commission, Zhang Liang's name was listed next to the Queen Mother, and was inconspicuous. The real masterminds were the clan members, nobles of Qi and the doctors of Jimo.

"Everyone of these people has his own thoughts. I'm afraid the only one who truly serves the State of Qi is a small group led by Doctor Jimo," Han Fei said seriously.

He had been in the position of Chief Justice for a long time and was best at solving cases. From the list and intelligence provided by the Military Control Commission, Han Fei could tell at a glance that people like Doctor Jimo were fooled and were eager to be sent in.

Doctor Jimo's ambition and character are known to the world.

Asking Doctor Jimo to plot treason is nothing but a fool's dream.

But why is Doctor Jimo on the list?
Obviously, he was cheated!

Even Han Fei could guess how Zhang Liang and his men deceived Doctor Jimo.

Doctor Jimo was dedicated to helping Qi rebuild its military and rise again.

Zhang Liang and his people only need to tell Doctor Jimo that their rebellion is only to purge the emperor's side and make Qi strong, and then Doctor Jimo's group will surely serve as pawns.

"The Ninth Prince is still as naive as ever!" Zhao Gao smiled and shook his head when he heard Han Fei's words.

As a high-ranking official in Bingzhou, you must first have a correct political stance. You can sympathize with the experience of Doctor Jimo, but you cannot show it, let alone say it. Look, An Qisheng, Gongsun Linglong and the people present did not say anything. Did they not know that Doctor Jimo and others were wronged?
No, it’s because Doctor Jimo and his colleagues made their choice and they have to bear the consequences.

As an official of Bingzhou, the first thing you need to do is to look at the problem from Bingzhou's perspective.

Doctor Jimo and others were involved in this case, so they are enemies of Bingzhou and there is nothing to sympathize with them.

Everyone is his own master.

I can understand and agree with it, but I won't be lenient or empathetic.

"Envoy Han Fei, you sympathize with Doctor Jimo, but who will sympathize with those men of Bingzhou who have been kept in the dark and deceived?" Dian Qing suddenly spoke.

The scene suddenly turned cold.

The biggest victims in this incident were the soldiers in Bingzhou. They were bewitched and knew nothing, but were inexplicably labeled as traitors.

However, the upper-level leaders whom they were wholeheartedly protecting and loving were actually harming their own people. If this matter were to get out, the entire Judicial and Surveillance Commissioner's Office would be ostracized by all the soldiers in Bingzhou.

An Qisheng, Zhao Gao, Gongsun Linglong and others also broke out in cold sweat.

In fact, at the beginning they also empathized with Doctor Jimo just like Han Fei. After all, their origins and identities were at the same level as Doctor Jimo, and it was unlikely to ask them to empathize with the lower-level soldiers.

Now that Dian Qing had spoken, they realized that the people who suffered the most in this incident were the soldiers who were sent by them to guard the borders of the State of Qi.

"Why do you think His Majesty went to Linzi in person? Is it really because he was worried that the imperial decree would be forged again?" Dian Qing continued.

An Qisheng, Zhao Gao, Gongsun Linglong and others suddenly came to their senses. Yes, there was no need for Yan Yan to put himself in danger.

If they were afraid that the imperial decree would be forged again, they could have sent Dian Qing, Gongsun Linglong, Zhao Gao and other top officers and officials from Bingzhou. No matter how rampant the rebellion of the Five Kingdoms was, would they dare to kill them?
"Whoever participates in this rebellion and mutiny, those soldiers who are bewitched will be charged with treason and the three clans will be implicated!" Dian Qing continued.

An Qisheng, Zhao Gao, Han Fei and others also understood in an instant that the results of Yan Yan going to quell the rebellion and Bingzhou sending a special envoy would be different.

If Yan Yan goes to Linzi in person, those soldiers who were coerced and instigated into rebellion will surely come to their senses and return to Bingzhou. They will also be able to atone for their sins and return to Bingzhou for their service to the king. They may not be able to be reused, but their clan members and descendants will not be implicated.

This is already the best result.

After all, it was a crime of treason, and no one had ever gotten away with it.

When Qin's Chang'an Jun Chengjiao was involved in a treason case, Fan Yuqi and 50,000 Qin troops, all generals and above, were charged with treason. It was only at the request of Ying Zheng that the 50,000 soldiers were relocated to the north of Longxi. Otherwise, according to Qin law, all these soldiers would have been beheaded.

As the drafters and revisers of Bingzhou laws, Han Fei and Zhao Gao knew best the seriousness of the crime of treason.

It was not until now that they understood why Yan Yan was willing to put himself in danger.

That was to save these innocent low-level soldiers who were killed.

"So, my lords, do you still want to sympathize with those remnants of rebellion?" Dian Qing asked coldly.

"Thank you for your advice. We know we are wrong!" An Qisheng, Zhao Gao and others bowed and saluted.

No one expected that one day they would be taught a lesson by this group of warriors.

If it was Luo Bing, Li Ren and Gongsun Nu who spoke, they could still understand, but Dian Qing was really beyond their imagination.

But it is understandable that Dian Qing comes from a truly lower-class background and lives with lower-class soldiers, so his focus is different from theirs.
