Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2486
After Fang Jun snatched Changsun Guang and others away last night, he actually interrogated him overnight, and quickly confirmed the crime, which caught Changsun Wuji by surprise.

Fortunately, in the memorandum just submitted by Fang Jun to His Majesty Li Er, I did not find that the eldest grandson Guang admitted that his crime was committed by the order of the family. family, even Changsun Wuji himself will fall into the quagmire...

Changsun Wuji made up his mind, looked at Li Ji and said, "Adjudication by military law is the responsibility of Weiwei Temple. How can we let the Ministry of War do it for us? This is not in accordance with the law. This trial should be revoked and ruled invalid. Otherwise In the future, all yamen will follow the example, and if the law enforcement exceeds its authority and intervenes, what is the law?"

Li Ji raised his eyebrows, but remained silent.

Changsun Wuji hated his teeth so much, this Xu Maogong was really a little too much, he was cautious in everything and kept himself safe in everything, trying to find a fault from him was as difficult as climbing the sky!
no comment at all...

Back then, Fang Xuanling was concise and neat, much better than this guy.

Fang Jun looked at his elder Sun Wuji with a warm smile and said, "Mr. Zhao Guo is calm and don't be impatient. Isn't this just discussing this matter? The Ministry of War controls the soldiers and horses in the world and manages the supplies of each army. The power of military justice should be handed over to the Ministry of War. If it continues to be under the jurisdiction of Weiwei Temple, it will inevitably lead to unclear rights and responsibilities, deepening disputes, and finally the two yamen will become increasingly hostile and hostile to each other, and the gains will not be worth the losses."

Changsun Wuji sneered: "The power of military justice has always been in charge of the Weiwei Temple. It has been peaceful for more than ten years. Why are the powers and responsibilities unclear and the disputes deepening now? , but want to say it so nicely, it is really shameless."

Fang Jun was not angry either, and said calmly: "What is going on, it still needs to be decided after discussion by the ministers and ministers. It is useless for you and me to argue endlessly again."

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, ignored Fang Jun, looked at Li Ji and the others and said, "Let's not say that the power of military justice will continue to be in charge of Weiwei Temple in the future, or it will be handed over to the Ministry of War. It is still the responsibility of the Weiwei Temple, right? Changsun Guang and others are suspected of violating military discipline, how can the Ministry of War be interrogated? Or it should be ordered to hand over Changsun Guang and others to the Weiwei Temple for interrogation."

Li Ji still didn't respond, and Liu Jie said: "I remind Zhao Guogong that Chang Sun Guang and others have solid evidence and have pleaded guilty. Now they are repeat offenders, not suspects."

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "The Ministry of War has overstepped its authority to enforce the law, and the procedures are inconsistent. The results of the interrogation should naturally be cancelled!"

Liu Ji sneered: "Even if it is handed over to Weiwei Temple for interrogation, is it possible that Zhao Guogong can turn black and white, and whitewash a shameless bandit who killed Robe and pretended to be a leader?"

Changsun Wuji was furious: "This is not a question of whitewashing or not. Doesn't Liu Shizhong not understand the importance of procedures?"

Liu Ji was unmoved: "Procedures are important, but the truth is more important! Gao Xing is the youngest son of Shen Guogong. He came from a noble family, but he was able to sacrifice his life to serve the country regardless of life and death. Now he is framed by traitors and his bones are gone. Shouldn't he be brought to justice?" Is it to give justice to the dead hero with legal and canonical punishment? Zhao Guogong keeps saying that the procedure is inconsistent, isn’t it just trying to buy time for Chang Sun Guang and others, and try to reverse the case?”

"fart!"

Changsun Wuji blushed with anger: "The old man is talking about procedural issues. The procedure is wrong, and the result is naturally illegal. How did you ever say that Changsun Guang and others are innocent?"

Liu Jie retorted: "Until now, you still say that the result of the Ministry of War's trial is illegal, isn't it just trying to overturn the Ministry of War's trial?"

Changsun Wuji was so angry that he almost wanted to jump up and strangle Liu Ji to death.

In terms of wisdom and strategy, he thinks that he may be superior to Liu Ji, but when it comes to words, the two of them are not Liu Ji's opponents!

All the way up from the line of censors and officials, they just play lip service. This is a housekeeping skill. I don’t know how many verbal battles they have gone through...

"Dangdangdang!"

Li Ji knocked on the table. Seeing that the two people were arguing endlessly, he finally couldn't help it, stopped the argument between the two, and said in a deep voice: "The crimes committed by Changsun Guang and others have already pleaded guilty, and the evidence is conclusive. , Needless to say, no matter which yamen is in charge of the trial, it is impossible to reach other conclusions. Since you have already been escorted to the execution ground, you should immediately announce the canonical punishment. "

Changsun Wuji stared at him angrily, unable to speak.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although the Ministry of War has exceeded its authority to judge, but since it has already been tried, it has also been sentenced. Waiting for someone to be freed...

But is this a question of whether Changsun Guang will die or not?
This is a matter of principle of the court's law!

Before he could speak, Li Ji looked at Cen Wenwen and asked, "What does the Zhongshu Ling think about whether the power of military justice will be transferred from Weiwei Temple to the Ministry of War?"

Cen Wenwen pondered for a while, and said: "Since the Ministry of War is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, this responsibility should be handed over to the Ministry of War."

Li Ji nodded slightly, and asked Xiao Yu, who was beside him with an old god, who had been silent all the time: "What is Song Guogong's intention?"

Xiao Yu glanced at Changsun Wuji, and said: "The Zhongshu ordered Lao Cheng to seek the country, and the old man agrees."

Li Ji nodded again, and looked at Liu Ji again. Before he could send a message, Liu Ji had already said: "Adjudication by the military law is the power of the Ministry of War. It is wrong to steal from the Weiwei Temple for many years. It should be returned before the government can order it." As one, the name is justified."

Li Ji looked at Changsun Wuji again, stroked his beard, and asked, "What's Zhao Guogong's opinion?"

Changsun Wuji's face was livid and he didn't say a word.

Opinion?

Even if the old man has an opinion, so what?

Of the five prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, three of them have already made it clear that you are in favor of Fang Jun, if nothing else. If that is the case, what does it matter if the old man has any opinions?
After all, you have the final say...

He was both angry and sad.

Today's Guanlong nobles are not only gradually declining, their hearts are scattered, they are getting farther and farther away from the center, and their influence on the imperial government has fallen to an unprecedented bottom. How can the nobles of Guanlong speak for themselves in this empire?

Perhaps the nobles of Guanlong, once famous all over the world, will really be buried under the dust of history...

Seeing that Changsun Wuji didn't speak, Li Ji didn't take it seriously, and said slowly: "Since everyone has no objection to this, I will write a memorial later and submit this resolution to Your Majesty. After that, let’s announce it to the world.”

Liu Ji nodded and said, "That's right!"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's disheartened face, he felt very relieved!
At the beginning, he wholeheartedly wanted to join the Guanlong nobles, but if the Guanlong nobles looked him straight and gave him a bone, he would be determined to be a dog leg waving the flag, but they didn't like him at all. He discarded it like a shoe, this humiliation took root and sprouted in his heart, and he wanted to fight back in his dreams, causing the Guanlong nobles to feel heartbroken, and regretted it!

Now that he has been promoted all the way, he actually ascended to the court to pay homage to the prime minister. Naturally, he must use all his strength to snipe the nobles of Guanlong.

What is the use of being in power and being a minister if you can't be ashamed in life and be happy with your enemies?

He squinted at Fang Jun again, this mallet seemed innocent, but in fact it was deep-minded, and it was not a good thing, and he would definitely pay back the humiliation of the past one by one...

……

Changsun Wuji felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Ever since he joined His Majesty Li Er and entered the Tiance Mansion, he has been the most valued advisor by His Majesty Li Er's side, and all strategies will be valued and adopted by His Majesty Li Er, even the "Xuanwu Gate Change" back then. It was only under his strong advocacy and the strong support of Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others that it was made possible.

But now, the court has suddenly lost his place to speak. Not only can his opinions no longer be able to influence the empire's program, but they will even be suppressed by others, because they are what he agrees with, so they will be suppressed. to object...

For Changsun Wuji, this was a devastating blow.

The matter was agreed upon, and Changsun Wuji no longer had the intention to continue, wanting to plead guilty to Li Ji and others, he left the political affairs hall alone.

Li Ji glanced at Changsun Wuji's back, then withdrew his gaze and said, "The Tubo envoy Lu Dongzan has arrived at the inn outside the city, and he said that he was ordered by Songtsan Gampo to come to the Tang Dynasty to meet His Majesty and present him with generous gifts. , what do you think about this?"
