The sun gradually climbed to 11 o’clock direction, bright sunshine shook the eyes, last night’s stormy weather seems to be a long time ago memory.
“Mighty ……”
The sunlight of the Ministry of Justice courtyard public hall of the two rows of the police officers holding the water and fire stick, low slow and powerful shouting Mighty, formally opened the curtain of the Ministry of Justice Chen.
“Snap.”
A shocking sound, slapping in the hall.
“Men, bring Zhu Pingan and Zhao Dajing to the hall.”The five presiding magistrates above the hall humbled each other for a moment, and finally the Minister of Justice Wang Xueyi, who represented the host Ministry of Justice, slapped the shocking wood and ordered the errand boys to bring Zhu Pingan and Zhao Dajing to the hall.
After the order was given, the two errand boys walked up to Zhu Pingan and held out their hands one on each side as if they were going to bring a prisoner.
“Don’t bother, I can walk by myself.”
Zhu Pingan used his gaze to stop the movements of the errand boys from pulling, then straightened his clothes and took a step towards the public hall.
Is this a plea, or an interrogation? Zhu Pingan breathlessly rolled his eyes.
Compared to Zhu Ping An, Zhao Da Ying’s treatment was much better, he was respectfully invited up by the police officers, and the presiding judge had a kind and amiable attitude.
Tsk tsk, today is completely Zhao Dajing’s home court ah, long ago arranged it, huh, more and more interesting, Zhu Pingan walked while hooking the corner of his lips disdainful smile, stretched a lazy waist, walked up to the public hall.
“My humble servant, Zhu Pingan, I have met all the lords.”
Zhu Pingan walked up to the public hall and bowed his hand to the presiding judge in the public hall, followed by bowing his hand to the bystanders on both sides.
“Be excused.”
It was only after a long time that he heard the chief adjudicator above the public hall faintly return a sentence.
“Who is under the hall?”Although he knew that Zhu Pingan and Zhao Dajing were standing underneath the hall, the presiding judge above the public hall still asked in accordance with the procedure.
“My humble servant, Zhu Pingan, is the Scholar of the Hanlin Academy.”
“My humble servant, Commander of the West City Military Division, Thousand Household Zhao Dajing.”
Zhu Pingan and Zhao Dajing returned almost simultaneously.
“Well, since everyone is here, let’s raise the court.”The main trial official in the public hall nodded and slapped the shocking wood again.
“Mighty ……”The water and fire stick in the hands of the errand boy frequently struck the ground, and the low mighty sound resounded again, shouting out the hall authority of the public hall.
Both the shouting of might and the presiding judge’s slapping of the wood are for the purpose of “hall authority”, through which the authority and sanctity of the law is conveyed, which in simple terms is to deter and scare people, and to be used to train and control the people.
Zhu Pingan had already known the reason for this, so this set was useless to him, and his heart was like still water without any ripples.
Zhu Pingan stood under the hall, the whole person is like a huge reef towering in the waves, wave after wave beat over, can not shake it for a minute and a millimetre.
Zhu Pingan’s calmness, let many onlookers officials secretly surprised, in their view like Zhu Pingan this age of young people, at first glance to see this kind of situation, certainly will be afraid, nervous ah what, but did not expect Zhu Pingan will be so calm. They have been in the official field for a long time, and their eyes are also very poisonous, they can see that Zhu Pingan is not pretending to be calm, but is mentally strong, and exudes calmness from the inside out, just like the old bureaucrats who have practiced in the official field for more than ten years.
“The case of Zhu Pingan, the Squire of the Hanlin Academy, impeaching Zhao Dajing, a Thousand Household, is being presented today at the Ministry of Justice, and is now being presented jointly by Lord Tuo Hai Tuo, a fellow officer of the Jin Yi Wei, Lord Zhao Qiu Zhao, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Lord Wang Xueyi Wang, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Wan Kung Wan, the Junior Minister of the Da Lisi, Lord Wang Guan Wang, the right deputy royal inspector of the Capital Investigation Institute, as well as this official, Wang Xueyi, of the Ministry of Justice. Zhao Dajing, Zhu Pingan, do you have any objections to this joint trial?”
Today’s joint trial of the five ministries, because the Ministry of Justice is the main venue, Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, under the humility of the presiding judges, rightfully presided over the trial.
This is all the meeting trial procedural questioning.
Roughly with the modern court session when the presiding judge announced the composition of the panel, ask the parties to the composition of the panel whether there is any objection. The implied meaning was that if one thought that the panel members had an interest in the case or had other relationships with the parties in the case that would affect the trial, one could apply for the relevant persons to recuse themselves.
“No objections, I believe that the lords will definitely judge the case impartially and return my innocence.”Zhao Dajing was the first to reply, and after he finished, he swept a demonstrative glance at Zhu Pingan.
Zhao Dajing naturally would not have any objections anymore, among the presiding judges sat by his uncle Zhao Qiu, and the officials he had paid a heavy courtesy visit to, as well as fellow Yan Party stalwart officials, apart from the individual presiding judges, almost all of them were favourable to him.
Zhu Pingan raised his head and swept the main trial officials in the hall one by one, narrowing his eyes slightly and thinking a little.
Dissent?
Zhao Qiu is Zhao Dajing’s uncle, surely will favour Zhao Qiu; Ministry of Criminal Affairs Minister Wang Xueyi is the close confidant of Ministry of Criminal Affairs Minister He Ao, He Ao is now dependent on Yan Song, Wang Xueyi is also a member of Yan Song’s clique, don’t even have to think about it, Wang Xueyi is surely biased in favour of Zhao Dajing; Jinyiwei Concurrently Prophet Tuo Hai is a close confidant of the Commander of the Jinyiwei, Lu Bing, although not a member of the Yan clique, however, after the joint efforts to rectify the former First Minister Xia Yan, the relationship with Yan Song has warmed up dramatically.The relationship with Yan Song has heated up dramatically, and I think Tuo Hai will also favour Zhao Dai Ying;
Wan Gong, the junior secretary of the Da Lisi, Zhu Pingan has some impression that he is an expert in water treatment and a capable minister, but as for the others, he is not clear.
Wang Guan, the right deputy royal secretary of the Metropolitan Police Office, is not a Yan party, Wang Guan, he is the party of Li Mo, the official secretary of the Ministry of Justice, but Li Mo has repeatedly looked at himself with displeasure, and recently, because of his own writing of the “Thick and Black” is even more regarded as the scum of the scholarly world. Who knows, Li party is here to fight with the Yan party, or will take this opportunity to cleanse himself of this scum.
Therefore, counting, if you want to apply for recusal, the main trial in the public hall yourself will have to recuse a large part …… of it.
But Zhao Qiu good to say, can with Zhao Dajing uncle and nephew relationship to raise objection; but the other main trial, you say they are the Yan party, so raise objection? The first thing I want to do is to make sure that I have a good understanding of what I’m doing and what I’m doing.
This is not a legal reason, the public court certainly will not support their own, and will be completely evil Yan Song, offended the presiding judge, their own losses.
There is also a point how do you prove that people are Yan’s party?
Therefore, the dissenting words can only dissent Zhao Qiu one, and the situation does not help, the other biased Zhao Qiu’s presiding judge is still there. And even if you dissent against Zhao Qiu, you may not be successful. In case he took a stand to eliminate his relatives, and the other presiding judges took the opportunity to say something about not avoiding relatives in the inner circle and not avoiding enemies in the outer circle, there was nothing he could do.
This is a feudal society, not a modern society governed by the rule of law. In the modern society of the rule of law, kinship, will certainly be avoided, feudal society is not the same, mentioned may also be rejected.
One more is not too much, one less is not too little.
In that case, it would be better not to mention it at all.
Let them first complacent for a while, relax their vigilance, then it will be more interesting.
There was a lot of thinking above, but in Zhu Pingan’s mind it was only a matter of an instant, and the time was less than a second before Zhao Dajing finished saying that he had no objections.
“My humble servant has no objections.”Zhu Pingan returned with an arch of his hand after a little contemplation.
After Zhu Pingan finished speaking, Zhao Dajing on the side couldn’t help but hook up the corners of his mouth, and Zhao Qiu in the public hall swept a glance at Zhu Pingan with a deep meaning.
Other officials in the public hall who knew about the relationship between Zhao Dajing and Zhao Qiu looked at Zhu Pingan and slightly shook their heads, Zhu Pingan is still too young ah ……
“Good, since all have no objections, then the presentation of the case will officially begin.”Wang Xueyi, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, nodded his head and slapped the shocking wood.
“Wait, I have an objection.”
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came out, the voice was unusually striking in the public hall.
