Chapter 152 Zhao Gao's victory in the third quarter

Let's say that Hu Hai was lazy and tired of playing in Ganquan Palace, so he returned to Xianyang Palace. This matter?" Zhao Gao didn't answer, just prostrate on the ground, weeping bitterly. Zhao Gao was originally tall and tall, so he didn't know why he cried, but he actually cried like a wronged child. When Hu Haijing cried, Zhao Gao felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, and said, "If Mr. Zhao has anything to say, it's okay to say it." Zhao Gao slowly wiped away his tears, and said, "I wouldn't dare to say anything unless your Majesty asked. The doctor stabbed me first the day before yesterday, and it was the Prime Minister's instigation to put me to death." He unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the freshly formed scar Shortly after the wound.

Hu Hai stretched out his hand, stroked the scar, and sighed endlessly. Zhao Gaodao, "I invite you to be lucky to save your life and continue to serve Your Majesty. If the sword loses another point, I'm afraid I will bid farewell to Your Majesty forever." Hu Hai sighed more and more, and said, "The prime minister wants to kill Zhao Jun, why didn't Zhao Jun speak up earlier?" Zhao Gaodao, "The prime minister has great power and authority, and is favored by His Majesty, so I cannot bear to embarrass Your Majesty because I give way everywhere." Hu Hai flicked his sleeves and said, "The prime minister is a minister of the late emperor. He relies on his meritorious service and always despises me. I have been unhappy for a long time."

Seeing that Hu Hai expressed his attitude towards Li Si, Zhao Gaogao climbed up and said, "The prime minister's patient is the only one. Gao is dead, and the prime minister wants to do what Tian Chang did, and take His Majesty's place. Zhao Gao died It's not a pity, I only regret not being able to stand by His Majesty's side and be loyal to His Majesty." "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Jian Yong" recorded such an anecdote: When there was a drought and alcohol was banned, those who brewed were punished.Officials ask for brewing utensils from others, and the commentators want to order them to be punished with the same punishment as the winemakers.Jian Yong and the former master traveled around and saw a man and woman walking the way. He said that the former master said: "That person wants to commit adultery, why is he not bound?" The former master said: "How do you know it?" It is the same as those who want to brew." The First Master laughed, and let go of those who wanted to brew.

Jian Yong can be said to have settled disputes by talking, proving by reductio absurdum that the person who holds the brewing utensils may not necessarily be able to make wine, at most he can only be regarded as a wine making suspect.Logically, we can say that an event happened only when it actually happened.Prior to this, all predictions about the occurrence of the incident could only be a probability calculation and should not be used as incriminating evidence in court. Then again, the former master Liu Bei could let go of a wine-making suspect, but he would definitely not let go of a treason suspect.It's all because the matter is so big that I can't care about logic and rationality. I would rather kill by mistake than indulge in vain.Throughout Chinese history, false accusations of treason have always been the best weapon to separate kings and important ministers, and they have been tried and tested repeatedly.Without him, he has his tools, and he will commit adultery.

Hu Hai also thought so, so he summoned the eunuchs and ordered them to draft an imperial edict, saying, "It's because Li Si belongs to Lang Zhongling!" Zhao Gao pretended to be terrified, and said, "The arrest of the Prime Minister is not a small matter, please think twice, Your Majesty." How could Hu Hai stand up to the provocation, and said sharply, "I have made up my mind, please don't say it again." Zhao Gao's face was solemn, but his heart was already full of joy, and he said respectfully, "I respectfully accept the decree." Without any evidence, Hu Hai arrested and tried Li Si, the prime minister of the current dynasty. Whether this act violated the law was ignored.As far as the judicial procedure is concerned, the trial of Li Si should not be handed over to Zhao Gao who is the Lang Zhongling, but should be handed over to Tingwei who is in charge of Xingbi.

Du Yu commented on "Zuo Zhuan", which said: "If the law is practiced, people will follow the law, and if the law fails, the law will follow the people." Poor Li Si's life-long adherence to the rule of law has disappeared so far, and he is about to face This trial is doomed to have no justice at all.
