Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 413
The empress saw that the other ministers had said almost the same thing.

He spoke to Chen Yi: "Chen Shilang, after all, you brought this Heaven's Punishment hero back. I wonder what Chen Shilang thinks?"

In fact, Chen Yi has been bowing his head and thinking, not indifferent.

This involves not only the matter itself, but also other influences.

When Chen Yi brought him back, he didn't have any other emotions except regret, he just lamented that Fang Zi was too pitiful and no one gave him the right guidance, so he would embark on the road of revenge.

Although he knew that those ministers should die, he didn't want to interfere with this matter.

What he said in front of the empress before was to save Fangzi's life.

Later, Fang Zi's elder brother wrote to Uncle Cao, and Chen Yi knew that there was something deeper in it. Fang Zi took this road more out of guilt and atonement. Something is different.

At least there is a difference in the mentality of killing people.

In addition, Chen Yi himself did not want Fang Zi to die, and because of Cao Bo's favor, Chen Yi could only do his best to persuade the Empress to save her life.

Of course, there is a deeper reason, and that is Fang Zi's matter, which involves people in the Jianghu.

You must know that in ancient times, the rivers and lakes and the government were two parallel social forms, or two worlds, which did not interfere with each other and did not know each other's existence.

If he can't use the official method to save Fang Zi this time, Uncle Cao and Fang Zi's brother are likely to use the extreme methods of the world.

Chen Yi can imagine all the methods of robbing the law field, assassination and so on.

At that time, there is really no way to save the situation.

One must know that the current imperial court has just started to improve, and the former Great Wu Kingdom has already suffered a defeat, and it was not easy for him to remedy it to what it is now.

That was without the intervention of people from the rivers and lakes.

This time Fang Zi's matter was a big mess, and killing the imperial court official was not a trivial matter.

In order to deter or warn, the imperial court will not deal with it leniently, so this will provoke a conflict between the imperial court and the world.

In the eyes of people in the Jianghu, Fang Zi is doing justice for the heavens, and it is right to kill those corrupt officials who are corrupt and pervert the law. They all deserve what they deserve, and Fang Zi is not wrong.

It can only be said that this is the gap in concepts and the contradiction caused by the inconsistency of the three views.

If Uncle Cao and brother Fang Zi really wanted to take action, the matter would be over. At least Uncle Cao would have to live in hiding again in the future, and he would not be able to appear in front of others.

Chen Yi sighed, then walked out of the crowd, stood in the middle of the hall, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I have just listened to the words of the ministers, and I agree with them. According to the laws of our Dawu Kingdom, the crime of killing officials ordered by the court is increased. This is beyond doubt. See the motive for the murder?"

When Chen Yi said this, he paused for a moment, and heard the whispers of dissatisfaction from the ministers around him.

Even the chief minister of the cabinet looked at him with disapproval, and Chen Yi smiled wryly.

This may be due to different positions, different considerations and ideas.

Chen Yi has been here for so long, and to a certain extent, he still believes that all people are born equal, but these ancient nobles were born, and everyone around them told them that they were superior to others.

How could they possibly understand that all men are equal? !
This is completely their cognitive blind spot, which they cannot understand.

Chen Yi also didn't want to argue with them about these differences in concepts. If he wanted to keep Fang Zi, he could only analyze it from another angle.

"Your Majesty, the case of Heaven's Punishment Hero has a relatively large impact. I don't think I need to say it. All ministers know about these cases. Let's take a look at why the first case happened, and analyze the motive of Heaven's Punishment Hero's murder."

When Chen Yi said this, he raised his head and glanced at the ministers around him. When he saw that no one refuted, he continued.

"First of all, the murderer and the victim didn't know each other. If it wasn't for the victim's family, they might never have known each other for the rest of their lives. Right, the county magistrate murdered for his own self-interest. It's only natural for the murderer to take revenge."

Chen Yi looked up to see several ministers nodding in agreement, and then continued.

"As for the later magistrates, when I caught the murderer, the murderer said that he had definite evidence that these magistrates killed innocent people, and he killed these people after investigation."

Chen Yi raised his head and looked at the Empress: "Your Majesty, this matter is suspected of running away when encountering obstacles, but it is also done for His Majesty, the court and the people. Of course, the method is not advisable, and it is easy to cause panic. It must be carried out. severely punished."

"However, at the very least, it has deterred those low-level officials who acted recklessly and ruined the prestige of the imperial court because of their own selfish interests, and made them restrain themselves a lot, which can be regarded as giving the people a way out."

"Not to mention the reputation of the Heaven's Punishment Hero among the people, but if we directly kill people like this, is it to send a message to those corrupt officials that the court will support such people, and their crimes are not worthy of death ?!"

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he quietly waited for the others' reactions.

The empress didn't speak as if she was thinking about something, and the other ministers also secretly looked at the empress and Chen Yi without saying a word.

Originally, they wanted to refute, but Chen Yi's last sentence was ruthless, which directly blocked their way to refute.

Who dares to speak now?If anyone says that Chen Yi is wrong, are they pleading for those corrupt officials?
Who dares to bear this charge? In other words, what Chen Yi said is not wrong. Those low-level magistrates are all young people. If they are gone, they can be cultivated. Anyway, there are many people. people's attention.

There are many people who think this way, but there are all kinds of officials in the court.

There are always a few unclear, and there are different voices behind Chen Yi.

"Your Majesty, but the minister's understanding is different from that of Chen Shilang. If the murderer is released like this, wouldn't it be telling the people that they can kill the court officials at will? As long as you think it is a corrupt official."

Chen Yi turned his head to look at the person behind him who was speaking, and found that this person was Tanhualang from last year, and now he was working in the Imperial Academy.

At the palace banquet at the end of the year, Chen Yi heard Lin Shilang introduce him.

Hearing this person's words, Chen Yi knew that this person had understood his own way of speaking.

But he wasn't annoyed, on the contrary, he appreciated how quickly this person understood his speaking skills.

Chen Yi nodded seriously and said: "Your Majesty, the editor of Hanlin is right, so the murderer cannot be easily spared in this matter. As the saying goes, capital crimes can be avoided, and life crimes can't be escaped. severely punished."
