When Yang Yi returned home, Su Dongpo was already waiting in the front hall. No matter how Xiao Yi comforted him, Su Dongpo still couldn't sit still and paced back and forth in the hall, looking extremely anxious. Yang Yi almost hit him when he entered the hall.
"Oh, Ren Zhi, you are back." Su Dongpo seemed to have seen a savior. He came up and grabbed Yang Yi's sleeve and refused to let go. This shows that he was tortured by the land expropriation case.
Yang Yi said with a smile: "Scholar Su is a rare visitor! It's really rude that Yang didn't greet you well."
"Let it go, don't look at me carelessly. You know why I'm here. You let me come to Kaifeng Mansion. You were the only one present at the time of the crime. You are the only witness. You can go to court tomorrow to explain the matter. Tell me clearly what happened, this time I will be killed by you."
"Master Su, calm down, calm down, the sky will not fall."
Su Dongpo frowned and said: "The sky will not fall, but I am going to fall apart due to the tossing, let it be, you can't just sit idly by and watch this happen!"
Su Dongpo is really desperate this time. He cannot afford to offend more than a hundred relatives of the emperor, and he does not want to offend him.
But things are very clear. Even the inner city wall has been demolished by the imperial court, and the land acquisition and expansion must continue.
" Lao Su was caught between the imperial court and more than a hundred relatives of the emperor. If Yang Yi didn't come to his rescue, he would probably be pinched this time.
"Master Su, please be patient. Let's sit down and talk slowly." Yang Yi comforted him and told the maid waiting in the hall, "Come on. Let's change the tea for Master Su."
Su Dongpo's mood gradually calmed down, and after sitting down in the guest seat, he sighed: "Su really has no choice this time. I don't know how anyone can teach me? If it really doesn't work, Su has no choice but to beg his bones and return home." "
Yang Yi smiled and said: "Why should Master Su be so discouraged? This case involves many officials and relatives of the emperor. Why doesn't Master Su transfer the case to Dali Temple for trial?"
"If it can be handed over to Dali Temple, does Su still need to be taught by him? Su has already tried it, and the memorial to hand it over to Dali Temple has been withdrawn;
This case occurred outside the city and was originally under the jurisdiction of the Kaifeng Prefecture. According to the case trial process, it is true that the Kaifeng Prefecture will first hear the case and make a ruling. If both parties are not satisfied. Only then can he be transferred to Dali Temple for retrial. "
Yang Yi nodded slightly. This is actually the same as in later generations. The local court will accept the preliminary trial of the case. If both parties involved in the case are dissatisfied with the first-instance judgment, they can appeal to the Intermediate Court and the case can be transferred to the Intermediate Court.
It is state-owned and national law. If all cases are directly handed over to Dali Temple for trial, it does not matter whether the case can be tried in Dali Temple or not, it will be considered successful. So is it still necessary to give states and counties judicial power?
The procedure is correct. The question is, does Su Dongpo dare to give the first-instance judgment?
By convicting the land-expropriating officials and the imperial guards of beating people, at least the Sinong Temple, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Sanyamen, and even the Privy Council and the Shangshu Province were offended.
Especially Prime Minister Zhang Dun, who made the final decision on land acquisition. If something goes wrong, Zhang Dun will naturally have to bear the responsibility.
"Condemn those slaves of powerful people to be guilty. These people are dead and injured." The current evidence is more favorable to them, how to judge?
Moreover. Standing behind these domestic slaves were more than a hundred relatives of the emperor, when the evidence was favorable to them. If you convict him, will there be any good fruit for you to eat?
In a word, Su Dongpo cannot decide this case.
But without a verdict, it is procedurally impossible to transfer the case to Dali Temple.
I think Dali Temple is also eager to get rid of this hot potato.
Yang Yi took the tea from the maid at home and took a sip. Although he did not have a beard, Yang Daguan, who was immersed in the artistic conception, did not notice it at all.
He chanted slowly: "Looking at it from the side, it looks like ridges and peaks, with different heights near and far. I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain. Good poem, the meaning of this poem by Master Su is really profound. I admire it, I admire it."
Su Dongpo waited for a long time, and finally Yang Yi started discussing poetry with him. His first reaction was that Yang Yi was going to change the topic and talk about him.
But he soon realized that Yang Yi seemed to have some ulterior motives when he recited this poem at this time.
"If Ren Zhi has something to say, you might as well say it out loud. Su is so upset that it is really difficult to calm down and figure out the meaning of Ren Zhi's words. This probably means that if things have nothing to do with him, it will be chaotic if it concerns him. Su can't escape from the world. "
Yang Yi glanced at Xiao Yi's face and saw that he was also smiling, so he knew that he understood what he meant. He gave a slight signal, and Xiao Yi responded: "It seems that University Scholar Su is really trapped in Mount Lu, and he is focused onHe only thinks about how to get out of the current predicament as soon as possible, but the scenery of Lushan Mountain is picturesque. Why not take a break for the time being, and sit down and take in the scenery first? "
Su Dongpo was a typical literati, full of romance, but to be honest, he was not very good at military and political affairs, let alone conspiracy.
What he did in the past was mostly based on his book business enthusiasm. When he opposed Wang Anshi's new policy, he rushed to the front and acted as a vanguard. The method he used had no strategy at all. At most, he only knew some tricks.
For example, after Wang Anshi passed away, he used some ambiguous words when writing the imperial edict for the emperor, calling Wang Anshi a "rare stranger". You can't say it's wrong when the word "extraordinary" is used in an imperial edict that concludes the coffin of a prime minister. , but it is inevitable that people will get some different flavors from it.
What is a "stranger"? You can understand it as a person with extraordinary talents, or you can understand it as a monster or an irrational person.
To a real conspirator, this kind of little trick is like a child playing house, which can only make people laugh.
Precisely because Su Dongpo didn't know how to play conspiracies, and relied on his scholarly spirit to show his differences everywhere. To put it bluntly, he was very showy and ostentatious.
Even though the old party was still fine, he almost lost his life first, and he was never spared from the subsequent political turmoil.
Yang Yizhen didn¡¯t know what to say to him. Poor people must be hateful. This sentence is quite appropriate to apply to him.
Seeing how pitiful he looked, thinking that his brilliant literary talent was a rare treasure in China, I couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, so I asked Xiao Yi to give him some advice.
After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Su Dongpo seemed to have gained something and was silent in thought.
Yang Yi smiled lightly and said: "Master Su, this case involves two lives and dozens of injuries. It is so serious. We should try it carefully, investigate and collect evidence carefully, and analyze the case again and again to avoid any mistakes. Only in this way can we repay both parties." It¡¯s fair.¡±
"Just" what is Su Dongpo just? It was just that both sides were forcing him to give an explanation as soon as possible and to close the case. They were forced by both sides, so he was in such a hurry.
Yang Yi couldn't help but laughed and said: "Others are anxious because they can't wait, but why can't Bachelor Su wait? You investigate and collect evidence carefully and try the case carefully. This is what you should do. Who can say anything to you? No?"
" Now if Su Dongpo doesn't understand, he will be a fool, but it is obvious that Su Dongpo will not be a fool.
His heart suddenly became enlightened, and a heartfelt smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
