Zhao Tian, ​​the Minister of Rites, did not speak, and once he opened his mouth, he would have given Su Lin a serious crime of unfiliality. This would not be a big deal in other countries, but the Wu State established the country with filial piety. Filial piety is the foundation of establishing a country, and unfiliality is even greater than murder.

An unfilial person, not to mention being honored by heaven, entered the Imperial College for study, will be despised even when walking on the road. Even if the crime is confirmed, a gentry, a villager and a village chief will be sentenced to the county magistrate, and the law will be sentenced according to the law. At the least, there will be three to five years in prison, and at the worst, there will be a serious crime of beheading.

In the Wu law, the crime of forcing the stepmother to death is a serious crime that should be executed. Moreover, etiquette education is under the jurisdiction of Zhao Tian, ​​the Minister of Rites. Therefore, Zhao Tian stood up in the court and pointed out Su Lin's crime of unfilial piety in name only, which was his duty.

"This Su Lin has repeatedly opposed my Zhao family, and the Su family is the mortal enemy of my Zhao family. Although the Su family has been promoted to a semi-saint family first, the clan brothers should be fast. But in the next generation, the Su family has a genius like Su Lin, which is far from my Zhao family. Therefore, I must do everything to prevent Su Lin from entering the Imperial College..."

Of course, Zhao Tian openly accuses Su Lin, a genius who wrote several poems on the country in succession. At the same time, he directly questioned the way of employing the people in the Wu country. After all, in Wu, where filial piety was established, if the king even entrusted an unfilial son who forced his stepmother to die, and was promoted to the Imperial College for studying, and if he spread it, the people would probably discuss it. Even the filial piety of the entire Wu country would collapse and even lose the foundation of the founding of the country.

"Your Majesty! What qualifications are there for unfilial people like Su Lin to enroll in the Imperial College? I request Your Majesty to take back his orders and arrest Su Lin according to the law to punish him for his unfilial crime!"

Ran Shitong was so excited that he led the cabinet bachelors again and made suggestions in the court.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I also agree..."

...

For a moment, under the leadership of Zhao Tian and Ran Shitong, nearly half of the civil and military officials submitted an announcement. Some of them were political enemies of the Su family, but most of them were still neutral, but they only discussed it in order to maintain the laws and regulations of the Wu State.

"this……"

The king Sun Jianshi was also troubled when he saw such a situation. Even though he was the king of a country, he was not a foolish and arrogant king. He had to consider the suggestions from his ministers. Especially now that so many ministers have agreed, he may have to take back his fate.

"Your Majesty! I have something to do..."

At this time, the Grand Secretary Hong Jingzhang, who had led the trial outside the Su Lin case, bowed out.

"Hong Aiqing, is it related to Su Lin?" The king's king Sun Jianshi lit up and asked hurriedly.

"That's it! Your Majesty, I was the leader of the trial outside the Wu border more than half a year ago. At that time, Su Lin was among the team in the front line of the case, and I also had some understanding of Su Lin forcing his stepmother to die. There is something else in this matter. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to report it."

Hong Jingzhang's literary position was a Grand Secretary. His official position was only a bachelor's degree from the fourth-rank Hanlin Academy. Among the civil and military officials in the court, he stood at almost the last position. However, his mentor was Wu Jin, the Grand Tutor of the dynasty. No one dared to underestimate him.

"Hong Aiqing, what's the inside story? Come quickly! I'll report it!"

The king Sun Jianshi was also in a mess at this time. If Su Lin really forced his stepmother to death, he would not be able to tolerate the entire Wu Kingdom, let alone use him.

"Your Majesty! As far as I know, Su Lin's mother died early. His father Xuxian's stepmother Su Liu also died soon after. His stepmother Su Liu had a son Su Wen, and Su Lin had a sister named Su Ru. Su Lin and Su Ru were also Su Ru. In the Su Mansion, he suffered from torture and abuse from his stepmother Su Liu since childhood. In order to prevent Su Lin from following his gentry status, the stepmother Su Liu served Meng Zhicao in Su Lin's meals for many years..."

As soon as Hong Jingzhang said this, the court exclaimed again.

"Mengzhicao? Oh my God! Mengzhicao is a forbidden medicine. Eating it can blind people's wisdom. If a child accidentally eats Mengzhicao, even if he has an enlightenment in his heart, it is almost impossible to enlighten his wisdom..."

"Su Lin's stepmother, Su Liu, is so cruel. In order for his son to inherit the identity of a gentry, he actually harmed the orphan Su Lin so much..."

"According to the laws and regulations of this dynasty, if you use Meng Zhicao to poison Meng Tong, you can be sentenced to death..."

...

As soon as the Meng Zhicao incident happened, the court was shocked and all gave Su Liu the title of "Snake and Scorpion Woman".

"Your Majesty! Although Su Liu used Mengzhicao to harm Su Lin, Su Lin was still enlightened after all. This cannot be used to cover up his crime of forcing his stepmother to death. Unfiliality is unfilial... In "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures", the ancient sage emperor Yu Shun, according to legend, his father, Yusou and stepmother, and half-brother Xiang, wanted to kill him many times: when Shun repaired the top of the barn, he set fire from under the barn, and Shun jumped off with two hats in his hand to escape; when Shun was digging the well, Yusou and Xiang went down to fill the well, and Shun dug the tunnel to escape. Afterwards, Shun was not jealous, but was still respectful to his father and kind to his younger brother."

When the public opinion in the court fell one way, Zhao Tian stood up again in time and gave a brief example of the ancient sage emperor Yu Shun in the "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures", and said righteously, "How parents treat their children cannot be an excuse for their children to be unfilial. I still beg your Majesty to take back Cheng's orders and punish Su Lin's crime of unfiliality."

"Yu Shun Shenghuang is indeed the case. His parents and brothers want to harm him, but he still respects filial piety and brotherhood. This is a great deal of human nature. Even if Su Lin is harmed by his stepmother, he should not force his stepmother to death..."

"Yes, yes... There is an example of the ancient sage emperor Yu Shun. It is true that the stepmother is guilty and should be tried by the county magistrate. Su Lin forced his stepmother to death, which is still a crime of unfilial piety!"

...

The Wu State established the country with filial piety. From ancient times to the present, the model of filial piety has been engraved into the "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures", which almost everyone in the country has one. At the same time, the character "filial piety" in the country-controlled holy character of Wu State can also be transformed into the "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures" as a magic weapon to test filial sons.

Now, Zhao Tian, ​​the Minister of Rites, brought out the example of Yu Shun, to refute Hong Jingzhang's statement just now. The king Sun Jianshi, who had already seen a turning point, had a big head again and hurriedly asked Hong Jingzhang: "Hong Aiqing! What's next? If you continue talking, how did Su Liu family be forced to death by Su Lin?"

"Your Majesty! I am about to explain that the accusation against Su Lin by Lord Zhao Tianzhao, the Minister of Rites, was purely slander. In fact, Su Lin did not force his stepmother to death at all."

Hong Jingzhang said confidently.

"Nonsense! Grand Secretary Hong, you have to remember that you are speaking to Your Majesty in the court now. You are a crime of deceiving the king. Then Su Liu was obviously forced into prison by Su Lin and committed suicide. I am not as nonsense as you." Zhao Tian, ​​the Minister of Rites, immediately refuted Hong Jingzhang and said.

"Your Majesty, I requested to release the holy power image of Fengle County's trial of Su Lin's stepmother Su Liu's case that day. At that time, it will be clear at a glance which is right or wrong."

Hong Jingzhang knew that too much explanation to Zhao Tian could not be convinced by the civil and military ministers of the court, so he simply asked to retrieve the image of the Shengli image of Fengle County Magistrate Xu Wenliang's trial of the case.

"Authentication! Li Yuncong, the Minister of Justice, quickly retrieved the holy power image of the Su Liu family's case." The king Sun Jianshi said sternly.

"I obey the order!"

Li Yuncong, the Minister of Justice, returned to the capital and encountered such a dispute about Su Lin in the court. He also knew that Su Lin had a lot of evil in the court, but he couldn't imagine that it would cause a dispute between the two factions in the court because of his busyness.

Although the highest official position that is now arguing is Zhao Tian, ​​the Minister of Rites, in fact, although the Grand Tutor Wu Jin and Grand Tutor Fang Zhengxin did not speak, they were always paying attention. I believe that there were two people behind them. As the proud disciple of Grand Tutor Fang Zhengxin, Li Yuncong naturally had to stand on Fang Zhengxin's side and deal with Su Lin together.

However, now the king requested the retrieval of the holy power image, so he did not dare to be negligent at all. He hurriedly took out the official seal of the Minister of Justice. The holy power surged into it. After a while, he found the holy power image of this file case. This is the unique benefit of the Confucian and Taoist world. When officials and county governments tried cases, each piece would be recorded as a holy power image and kept forever. The official seal of the Minister of Justice could be retrieved anytime and anywhere.

"Your Majesty! I have found the image of the holy power. Can I release it?" Li Yuncong bowed and started the remark.

"Accurate! Let it go and let everyone see!"

The king Sun Jianshi himself was also very curious. How would Su Lin defend himself in court when facing such a vicious stepmother and accuse him of his crimes?

The Grand Tutor Wu Jin, Grand Tutor Fang Zhengxin and others also raised their heads with interest, and together with all the civil and military officials, they all stared at the images of the Holy Power and watched the case being tried that day.

When Su Liu confessed his guilt and surrendered to justice, and his son Su Wen was willing to live with his mother, all the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but praise him. What they praised Su Wen's filial piety was very consistent with the morality of the Wu Kingdom. When he saw Su Lin in the court asking the county magistrate to forgive Su Liu, he said the words "The way of a gentleman is just loyal and forgiving", all the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but applaud him.

In this trial, Su Liu had been punished by Qingluo, and the second trial was because Su Liu threatened Su Ru to get married. After the county magistrate Xu Wenliang arrested him, he was punished with both crimes and was imprisoned. Su Liu committed suicide by carrying the name of a snake and scorpion woman.

With this image of the holy power to testify, the truth was revealed. Su Lin did not force his stepmother to commit suicide at all, but instead imitated the Holy Emperor Yu Shun and forgive his stepmother's crimes. On the contrary, the stepmother's character remains unchanged and continues to commit evil, which leads to his own fault. He bears the reputation of a vicious woman in a vicious woman and commits suicide in prison. (To be continued...)
