Chapter 1373 Li Chengqian's Trial (Part 2)
"So do you think that the Duke of Fanyang County believes that this surname is Ding is innocent?" Li Chengqian glanced at Lu Chengqing and deliberately played a text game.
Lu Chengqing knew very well what Li Chengqian meant. No matter whether he answered yes or not, the ending of Ding Wencai would not change.
This is what is called "a senior official and a senior official level to kill people. In the face of a favored imperial prince, this pressure is even more unimaginable, which makes Lao Lu have countless reasons and excuses in his heart, but he can't say a single word.
If it is possible, he does not want to be enemies with Li Chengqian or the royal family, but there are not so many ifs in this world. Under the current actual situation, the royal family has been constantly eroding the aristocratic families and constantly compressing their influence.
In order to unite the family and the family, several major families had to join forces to fight against the royal family headed by Li Er, and use positive and passive resistance to delay time. However, unexpectedly, in addition to Lao Li, the Li Tang royal family inherited his philosophy and also regarded the family as a thorn in the eyes.
If you don’t want to be a fish, the aristocratic family can only change the way of passive resistance and face Li Chengqian head-on, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes. As long as you can be evenly matched and make Li Chengqian’s plan unable to be implemented, it will be successful. Therefore, there are examples of counties refusing to issue relief application forms to students.
There is no distinction between right and wrong in the whole matter. The only thing is a dispute over interests. Lao Li and Xiao Li plan to regain greater power, while the aristocratic family wants to preserve their influence and their power in the officialdom. It is so simple.
After all, the Tang Dynasty was still a feudal society. If a family wanted to guarantee their own interests, they would have to harm the interests of others. The Li Tang royal family also needed this interest to ensure that their own country was forever. This formed a natural confrontation between the two sides. One party must fall completely before the incident could quell, otherwise it would only continue to fight and continue to fight.
Li Chengqian understood this, and Lu Chengqing also understood this. They all knew what was fighting for each other and how to use their advantages.
But, although the aristocratic families have certain advantages compared to the royal family, they also have natural weaknesses.
Li Chengqian grasped the weakness of the aristocratic family and launched a sudden attack, intending to use thunder to severely weaken the aristocratic family's influence among the people. This is Lu Chengqing's analysis.
Li Chengqian waited for a long time but did not get Lu Chengqing's answer. He couldn't help but smiled casually and ordered: "Take all the others in Wannian County, and I want to see how they are waiting to die."
"Your Highness, if you don't follow the law, you will cause chaos. You will definitely impeach you." Lu Chengqing realized that the situation today is impossible, and threatened before someone was brought up.
"The Duke of Fanyang County only cares about impeachment. I am in a straight position and sitting upright. How could I be afraid of impeachment?" Li Chengqian said indifferently, pointing to a group of people brought up: "Like these officials who only know how good you are, I am good to everyone, what is the use of my Tang Dynasty want them? Being an official does not care about the people, but just thinking about not offending people. What is the use of my Tang Dynasty wanting them? Even if a dog is placed in that position, I am afraid he will do better than them."
No one spoke, including Qin Qiong, everyone thought Li Chengqian was crazy.
I thought he would stop after he had cleaned up the chief clerk, but now it seemed that he was going to sautify the entire Wannian County.
However, Li Chengqian didn't care about their strange eyes at all. He looked at Leng Senlin who was brought to the court and asked: "Mr. Wannian County Magistrate, I ask you, do you know that poor students can apply for relief funds?"
"I know!" Wannian County Magistrate Song Ningyuan shook his head.
"Very good, then I will ask you again, no one has come to apply for relief funds for a month and a half. Have you ever asked?"
"I didn't ask!" I continued to shake my head.
"Where are you? As county magistrates, have you ever asked about this?" Li Chengqian asked two officials standing behind Song Yuanning.
"I, I have never asked." The two county magistrates shook their heads in annoyance.
They will never ask about this kind of thing because it is not a big deal. Many things happen every day in the huge Chang'an City. Chang'an and Wannian counties cannot even make a case just by judging the case. How could they care about such things that people come to apply spontaneously?
But that's how it is. If Li Chengqian doesn't ask about this matter, then this matter is naturally not important. But now that he asks, then Wannian County will naturally have a responsibility.
"Since you all admit that you have not been involved in this matter, then isn't it unfair to judge you to dereliction of duty?" After asking a few leaders, Li Chengqian was too lazy to pay attention to the minions below.
"Not unfair!" Song Yuanning seemed to have accepted his fate. No matter what Li Chengqian said, he nodded and said yes.
"Then let's get the blame!"
Simple and direct, this is Li Chengqian's way of judging the case, what evidence, witnesses, testimony, and Xiao Li, who emerged from his heart, just wants to kill people now and doesn't care about those dispensable things at all.
Of course, the one-piece Zhujue he said to the old man just now was just an angry word. Even if he really wanted to do that, the old man would intervene.
So after a group of people were cheated, Li Chengqian simply sentenced them to exile in Yazhou.
At this point, Wannian County was dismissed from office in one.
But just when Li Chengqian was about to announce his withdrawal, an official spoke out: "Your Highness, I am not convinced, I am not convinced. Chang'an County and I Wannian County have not accepted the application form for students. Why are I only sentenced to Wannian County!"
"Oh? Do you want to report this?" Li Chengqian suddenly smiled and waved his hands to several Feifengjun who were dragging Wannian County officials, signaling them to let go of everyone.
"My minister, the grass-roots people, the grass-roots people..." The guy who was just shouting was dissatisfied and couldn't answer for a moment, but when he thought of what he had just said, he finally said with a heart-warming voice: "Your Highness, not only Chang'an County, but also other prefectures and counties have no response. You punish Wannian County alone and let the others go, so the grass-roots people are dissatisfied."
Since he was sentenced to exile, his official position will naturally be gone, so this guy can only call himself a sage, not a minister.
However, Li Chengqian obviously didn't care about this. He just looked at him with interest, and then said for a while: "What do you mean by you? Could it be that you want a nationwide inspection?"
"That's what grass, grass people, grass people mean." At this point, there was no room for maneuver. The unwilling guy replied with the thought of killing one by one.
