Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 516: Civil and military and law (1)
Actually, Wei Yingfang and the others didn’t want to starve the imperial court to death. How could this be possible?
Our government is still the boss, not an imperial court.
It’s as simple as that.
It’s not that I want to play my life with Zhang Fei, I haven’t reached that point yet, but how could I know that when I encountered such a big matter, he would be so impulsive and act out of common sense at all.
It can only be said that you are more ruthless.
Cowardly!
There is really no need to bet on your official career, or even your life, for this matter.
Cai Jing had just returned to the imperial court, and Cai Bian and Shangguan Jun immediately greeted him.
“Brother, what did the government office say?”
“I believe that soon, the government will approve us to build shops here.”
Cai Jing smiled and nodded.
But Cai Bian and the others didn’t have any joy on their faces, they just breathed a sigh of relief.
“But is it really worth it?” Shangguan couldn’t help questioning.
Cai Biandao: “Although in the end we forced the government to bow its head, this matter has already caused great damage to the reputation of our imperial court. Whether it is a civil servant or a general, they all have great distrust of our imperial court, especially the teacher. , that’s even more.”
Although they are all fledglings, they are familiar with history books after all. The imperial court actually paid a political cost for this matter. There is indeed something wrong with the government office, but you are the imperial court. Fighting Qi, and using us as a threat, how can this be convincing.
Cai Jing didn’t make a sound, just asked: “By the way, is the teacher there?”
Shangguan Jun said: “It’s in the backyard.”
Cai Jing nodded and said, “Then I’ll go talk to the teacher first.”
Just now Cai Jing asked for 10,000 guan. Wei Yingfang thought it was extortion, but it was not. The court paid the money, but Zhao Xu paid the money, and it was secretly sent by the Secretary of the Imperial City to look for it.
Not many people know about it.
For Zhao Xu, this lawsuit is actually very important, because he also knows the problem of using literature to control martial arts, and he just wants to expand abroad. He wants to continue to maintain control over the army. At the same time, it is hoped that the army can exert its combat effectiveness.
But before this, there is no solution.
What you gain is what you lose.
If you let go, Jiedushi may appear, but if you don’t let go, you will miss many opportunities.
This time, Zhao Xu is going to try to use the public prosecutor’s law to balance the two.
So regarding this case, it was Zhao Xu who supported Zhang Fei behind his back.
With the exception of Zhang Fei, only Big Dog knows about this matter in the entire Hezhong Mansion.
Dagou came to the imperial court today and reported the matter to Zhang Fei.
“President Zhang, all those witnesses have been sent to the hunting ground behind this mountain, and they can testify in court at any time.”
“Very good!”
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said, “I believe the government office will admit defeat soon.”
The big dog glanced at Zhang Fei, hesitated to speak.
Zhang Fei asked: “What do you want to ask?”
The big dog said: “Actually, there is a question, I have always been curious.”
Zhang Fei smiled and said, “Let’s talk!”
The big dog said: “In fact, those witnesses are also very ordinary, so it’s fine to just pass them on. Why are you making it so mysterious?”
Zhang Fei smiled and said, “Surprise!”
“Surprise?”
“Yes, surprise.”
Zhang Fei nodded. “If I let them know what kind of witnesses I have found, then they will be able to guess something. They won’t be like now, who don’t know how I will interrogate at all. This will make the whole trial full of surprises.”
The big dog nodded half-understood.
It’s a surprise!
Then what is this for?
Zhang Fei did not elaborate, and asked, “What’s the situation outside now?”
The big dog said: “Whether civil servants or military commanders, they have a lot of complaints about Chief Judge Zhang.”
Zhang Fei said depressedly: “Is it just a bit of criticism?”
The big dog looked at him strangely, and said embarrassingly: “Maybe it’s not just complaints, most people are very dissatisfied with President Zhang’s actions.”
“Very good!”
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.
Is it good that the big dog is clueless?
At this moment, Li Si came over, “Third brother, Cai Dalang is back from the government office.”
“Let him wait for me in the pavilion by the lake.”
“Yes.”
After Li Si left, Zhang Fei looked at the big dog again and said, “Go to the side door.”
“Yes.”
The big dog cupped his hands and said: “Then I will take my leave first.”
After leaving the big dog, Zhang Fei came to the pavilion by the lake.
Cai Jing, who was waiting here, immediately saluted, “The student has met the teacher.”
“How is it?”
“The government office has agreed to our request.”
“Very good!”
Zhang Fei stretched out his hand again and said, “Sit down.”
“Yes.”
The teacher and the student sat down.
Zhang Fei asked: “Does your second brother know?”
Cai Jing nodded and said, “I just told them about it.”
Zhang Fei said: “What do they think?”
Cai Jing hesitated for a while, “They still think the teacher is a little bit emotional.”
Zhang Fei smiled and asked, “What do you think?”
Cai Jing pondered for a while, and said, “The students think the teacher is doing the right thing.”
Zhang Fei smiled and asked: “Why?”
Cai Jingdao: “First of all, the entire Hezhong Mansion is now talking about our imperial court, and this is exactly what our imperial court needs.”
Zhang Fei said: “This good thing doesn’t go out, and the bad thing spreads thousands of miles.”
“Students think this is a good thing.”
“Oh?”
“In the eyes of the students, this case is like the case of Wu Zhang’s murder of his mother. No matter how it is judged, it seems wrong. It is difficult to convince everyone, and it is even more difficult to judge than the case of Wu Zhang’s.
The Wu Zhang family is just a village woman after all. The teacher can give her a crime without punishment.
But now after this incident, the civil and military officials are very distrustful of the teacher, and even feel afraid, for fear that the teacher will make a wrong judgment and wrong the side they support. When the teacher gives a fair punishment, they will be satisfied , most people will not have any complaints. “
“Smart, worthy of being big!”
“???”
Cai Jing looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously.
No, he is my student now, even if he is a traitor, he is still a loyal one. Zhang Fei coughed, “Actually, it doesn’t matter whether the government will give us funds or not, and the living people will starve to death.
This lawsuit is the most important thing. Whether our imperial court can gain a foothold here depends on this lawsuit. Therefore, we must do enough publicity to attract everyone’s attention, but there are also pros and cons. If the trial is good, it will become a blockbuster, but if the trial is not good, it will become a classic joke.
However, this lawsuit is not so easy to judge, otherwise, it would not be so noisy today. If they all have high expectations for me, no matter how I judge, they may be a little disappointed, because they all feel that they are very wronged and want to get justice.
But if I don’t expect much from me before, then I will be able to surprise them and convince them more at the same time. “
Cai Jing nodded: “Students understand.”
Zhang Fei smiled and said, “But there is one thing you don’t understand.”
Cai Jing looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously.
Zhang Fei said: “The importance of those shops is definitely worth it. Judging from the government’s response and the attitude of those salt merchants, they care more about who has the most power than the judiciary. If the situation cannot be reversed phenomenon, then everything I do will be meaningless, and when we leave, things will go back to the way they were.
We need to establish a law center. I will not only put the book shop here, but also build a law school here, publish law books, and set up a law newspaper. Only in this way can all this become more Makes sense, these things are still in your hands. “
He didn’t come to enforce the law impartially. If he just wanted to enforce the law impartially, there were too many stern and selfless officials in the Song Dynasty. Why let him come here? build this system.
Cai Jing nodded and said: “The students will not disappoint the teacher.”
Zhang Fei said again: “Also, this trial involves state secrets and will not be open to the public. If you want to come to watch the trial, you must submit an application to the imperial court. I will leave this matter to you .”
Cai Jing couldn’t help being overjoyed when he heard the words, this is a good job, those generals and envoys had to come to him, so he immediately got up, cupped his hands and said: “Students obey.”
After the government approved the imperial court’s application, Zhang Fei immediately sent people to inform Zhong Er and Lu Shen that the case would be heard in seven days.
Yes!
It is so realistic.
He did not hide his purpose at all.
But whether it is Su Zhe, Yuan Jiang, Cai Yanqing and others, they all let out a sigh of relief, which can be regarded as a solution.
But why do you have to wait for so long after seven days, do you have to prepare anything?
It’s very simple, it is to give everyone time to apply for viewing seats.
The imperial court officially announced to the outside world that since the case involves some state secrets, there will be no public trial, and it will be transferred to the military imperial court, where the chief judge will personally try it.
This is also the first time the military imperial court has appeared in an official document.
A layman just looks at the name and thinks this name is very special, but an insider sees it as a doorway and has set up a military imperial court. In other words, in the future, such cases will be tried in the military imperial court .
When seeing this news, whether it is a general or a civil servant, they all have mixed feelings and feel uneasy.
The general thought to himself, good guy, here is another official office to supervise our generals, it is really difficult for our generals.
They must have regarded the imperial court as the side of the civil servants.
How could a military general become the judge.
The key point is that the judge is unreliable.
But the civil servants think that the imperial court is here to check and balance them, and it will not be so easy to make small reports about military generals in the future.
The civil servants have never regarded the imperial court as their side.
What is Zhang Fei’s background, Er Bi’s background, it’s fine if the article is written like that, the key word is also like a dog. To say that he is a literati, isn’t that an insult to the world’s literati?
Then how the military imperial court will hear the case is very important to both parties.
This involves various powers.
Definitely a must see.
The next day, the imperial court received hundreds of applications, all of which were from various prefectures, various chiefs, and commanders-in-chief of various armies.
Cai Jing is really cool this time!
It is very important to be familiar in the officialdom.
Besides, this is because the other party wants something from him.
“Wei Tongpan, have you applied yet?”
He Chunlin looked at Wei Yingfang eagerly.
Wei Yingfang said depressedly: “What is applying for a seat? The imperial court is just playing tricks and exalting myself. Originally, I didn’t intend to apply. In the boundary of Hezhong Mansion, why should the imperial court not let me go? They have all applied, so I can only send someone to apply.”
Speaking of the latter, I feel a little embarrassed.
He Chunlin immediately asked, “Has the application been approved?”
Wei Yingfang shook his head and said, “I don’t know yet.”
He Chunlin said depressedly: “I haven’t.”
Wei Yingfang was shocked: “Really?”
The implication is that the imperial court really refused. He thought it was a formality, and he thought it would be embarrassing for him to apply.
He Chunlin nodded and said: “I sent people to apply in the morning, but they were rejected on the spot, saying that there were not enough seats, and this case has nothing to do with our salt department. Oh, what a shame.”
His power is actually not small, after all, he is in charge of salt, and generals have to say a few polite words when they meet him.
Wei Yingfang slapped his thigh, “Revenge! The imperial court definitely wants to use this to take revenge on us. Oh, if I had known this, I would not have applied. If the dignified Hezhong Mansion passed the sentence and was rejected by the imperial court, then I will! “
Although Zhang Fei didn’t tell Cai Jing clearly, Cai Jing knew that this was to use the imperial court’s force. If there is not enough force in the trial of this kind of case, it will not be able to support the scene.
Cai Jing really directly rejected a large number of officials, but without any intention of retaliation, it all depends on the position.
Then those who can enter the military imperial court are naturally not ordinary people, and this is also a recognition of identity.
