Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 702: Too much
Since Cao Ping and Cao Dongdong and his son have gone to the northwest to open up wasteland, the police station has no backbone. It is reasonable to be a little afraid when facing such things. However, after receiving a reply from the Procuratorate, the police station still Immediately send someone to the Imperial City Division to inquire.
But I only got four words in the Imperial City Division.
No comment!
It turns out that the Royal Police was born out of the Forbidden Army, and it weakened the status and power of the Forbidden Army in the field of public security, and also cut off the financial resources of many people.
Of course this caused the dissatisfaction of the Sanyamen, but this was the emperor’s arrangement, and they were given the title of Royal Police. In addition, Cao Ping was the chief superintendent, so the Sanyamen only dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
The Imperial City Division is subordinate to the Dianqian Division and is the boss of the three yamen. When they saw the Royal Police coming to their door, they felt very unhappy. You Royal Police are just illegitimate sons, but our Imperial City Division is their biological son. Don’t give this to them. He is shameless and doesn’t have a good word to say.
At present, it is true that the police station cannot control the Imperial City Division, because the Imperial City Division mainly looks after the gates of the Imperial City. The Imperial City is not under the control of the Royal Police, who only care about the neighbors.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei and Huang Chengsi have always had secret contacts.
In the evening, Zhang Fei came out of the procuratorate and got on the carriage, only to see Li Bao already sitting on the carriage.
Seeing Zhang Fei, Li Bao looked a little embarrassed, “I sent someone to check, and this person is indeed in the Imperial City Division.”
Zhang Fei immediately asked: “Is the person still alive?”
Li Bao said: “He is still alive, but he has only been punished a little because he was accused of slandering the government and intending to rebel, and the other party refused to admit it, so…!”
“Just stay alive.”
Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said: “The officials should have ordered us to act with caution in extraordinary times. Why didn’t I feel your caution at all? You didn’t even inform me of this in advance.”
Li Bao immediately said: “You can’t blame me. The marriage officers of the Imperial City Division don’t know my existence. I told you before that the Imperial City Division is actually divided into two parts. One part is in In the Ming Dynasty, they specialized in managing the gates of the imperial city, and they all had positions in the front office.
We have no positions in the army, and the commanders of the Front Division don’t know our details. Only the officials and a few generals of the Front Division know.
Moreover, they only captured one or two soldiers, which is not a big deal. ”
“Wait a minute!”
Zhang Fei asked: “Is it one or two?”
Li Bao said: “Both of them should have been arrested. But we can’t blame the Imperial City Division. Who let them talk nonsense there and disturb the morale of the army? If you don’t arrest them, who will arrest them.”
Zhang Fei asked: “What step is it now?”
Li Bao said: “They have admitted their crimes. The Imperial City Division is preparing to arrest their family members and bring them to justice. At that time, the Imperial City Division will hand over the case to Dali Temple for judgment.”
“Dali Temple?”
Zhang Fei’s eyes lit up.
Li Bao nodded and said: “In the past, cases about soldiers have always been handed over to Kaifeng Mansion. Unless they are some more important officials, they will be handed over to Dali Temple. However, the Imperial City Department does not want to deal with the Procuratorate. They will Hand this case over to Dali Temple.”
“That’s good!”
Zhang Fei nodded and said: “When you inform the officials later, please remember to tell me that if this kind of matter is handed over to the public prosecutor, it will be very difficult. The best result now is that everyone pretends not to know. The emperor The Chengsi side will directly follow the procedures and hand it over to Dali Temple.”
Li Bao nodded, “I understand.”
“And!”
Zhang Fei added: “You should also take a look at the Imperial City Division, at least to ensure that there is no surprise attack on me. The situation in the DPRK and China is already complicated, and I really can’t take care of it.”
Li Bao nodded and said: “I will try my best, but the people in the Imperial City Division also act secretly. If you follow too closely, they will find out.”
“Okay!”
Zhang Fei said.
At night, after dinner, Gao Wenyin and Mu Zhen went back to their houses respectively. Only Xu Zun, Zhang Fei, and Xu Zhiqian sat in the courtyard to cool off. It was already summer and the weather was relatively hot.
“How was it?”
Xu Zun asked.
Zhang Fei said: “There are not one but two people in the Imperial City Division. Now under torture, both of them have confessed.”
Xu Zhiqian said: “Two soldiers were drunk in a tavern, and they were accused of treason because of a drunken remark. It’s really a joke.”
Zhang Fei pointed to her belly and said, “Pay attention to the fetus. If you get so angry, I won’t talk to you next time.”
Xu Zhiqian quickly defended: “I’m not angry, I’m just stating the facts.”
She is bored at home every day and relies on this to relieve her boredom.
Xu Zundao: “Actually, this kind of case wouldn’t have been a big deal in the past.”
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: “What do you think, father-in-law?”
Xu Zundao: “From the Taizong period to the Renzong period, ministers continued to impeach the Imperial City Secretary, and successive monarchs also issued decrees to impeach the Imperial City Secretary. The constraints on the Imperial City Secretary became tighter and tighter, until Wang Jiefu After the reform was launched, the Imperial City Division gradually became active again.”
Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
This is a normal political operation. Reform will inevitably cause turmoil in the current situation, so both Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi must control their speech.
The scope of the Imperial City Division’s activities will naturally expand.
It is precisely because of this that the later Taxation Department was born.
“This is just one of them.”
Xu Zun added: “Secondly, if there had been no lawsuit against Cheng Fang before, this case would not have been very difficult. Now, if someone wants to take the opportunity to draw fire to the public prosecutor, it may be very troublesome.”
I just targeted the officials, now I am targeting the Imperial City Department.
After hitting the left cheek, he slapped the right cheek, no matter how good-tempered Zhao Xu was, he couldn’t stand it!
Zhang Fei nodded, “What my father-in-law said is absolutely true. I also suggest that the Imperial City Division directly hand over the case to Dali Temple.”
“Why?”
Xu Zhiqian asked: “The procuratorate did a pretty good job in the Qizhou rebellion case before.”
Zhang Fei said: “This is very different. In the Qizhou rebellion case, we are on the same front as the officials. This case is different. The key is that the public prosecutor and the law are really not good at trying such cases.”
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: “Why?”
Zhang Fei smiled and explained: “First of all, there is the issue of authority. The Imperial City Division has the right to arrest people who make such remarks. It is not yet known whether the Procuratorate can take the initiative to intervene.
Secondly, once the procuratorate intervenes, it will face many problems. In the Imperial City Division, prisoners are forced to plead guilty under penalty, while the procuratorate must base the prosecution on facts. If the procuratorate prosecutes, it may Direct the fire towards the Imperial City Division.
Finally, is this statement illegal? The prosecutor’s office will be in a dilemma from the standpoint of the country and the monarch.
So, even though this case is not big, it is just two small soldiers, but it is a very big challenge for the public security system, and we are not ready for it yet. ”
Xu Zhiqian nodded.
She comes from a family of officials, so she doesn’t understand the truth, but she really hopes that the public prosecutor and law can change everything.
Xu Zun sighed: “I’m afraid the tree wants to be quiet but the wind won’t stop.”
Zhang Fei asked: “Father-in-law, do you think they have a chance to connect this case to the public prosecutor’s office?”
Xu Zun nodded and said: “In the past, most of the cases of the Imperial City Division were handed over to the Kaifeng Mansion, followed by Dali Temple. But now that the Public Security Bureau has replaced the judicial power of the Kaifeng Mansion, of course the cases of the Imperial City Division can also be handed over. Submit it to the Procuratorate for prosecution.”
Zhang Fei frowned: “Then we still have to prepare to avoid being caught off guard again.”
The three chatted for a while, then Xu Zun got up and went back to the house. Zhang Fei also gently supported Xu Zhiqian and went to his small courtyard.
“Actually, you also think this is an unjust case, right?” Xu Zhiqian asked coldly.
Zhang Fei asked: “Why do you think so?”
Xu Zhiqian said: “If you didn’t think so, you wouldn’t be so entangled.”
Zhang Fei smiled and said: “From a legal point of view, it is difficult to say whether the case is unjust or not. We will only know after a detailed investigation.”
Xu Zhiqian said: “But this is not the key point. Your main consideration is the official family.”
“Yes and no.”
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: “Actually, my father-in-law is right. This case is not something that the officials can’t bear, but it’s just that the time is not right. The Public Security Bureau can only be where it is today because of the support of the officials.
As for the officials who are willing to build the public security system, good and evil are only secondary. The key is to consider the pros and cons.
So we should try our best to let the officials see the benefits that the public security law brings to the monarch. Only when the officials enjoy the benefits, will they accept the disadvantages to him.
But if this kind of thing happens one after another, it will make the officials feel resistant, and they may fall short of the success and lose everything. ”
Xu Zhiqian said: “But those powerful people seem to have thought of this.”
Zhang Fei sighed: “Yes, so this is a challenge for us. If we really go to the procuratorate, we must find a way to eliminate the negative emotions in the hearts of the officials.”
He knew from the beginning that the Public Security Bureau would definitely conflict with the imperial power. He has been trying his best to postpone this conflict, but others are not stupid. They just want to provoke a conflict between the Public Security Bureau and the Imperial Power.
If the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate fight against the imperial power everywhere, this is not a question of right or wrong. This is a very scary trend. Although Zhao Xu and Zhang Fei have an unusual relationship, they are like accompanying a tiger to the emperor. You cannot guess, the emperor How would you view these things?
However, the current government and opposition parties are still paying attention to the policies in Hebei.
The Ordinance Department of the Second Government was established.
“The two hundred thousand guan was allocated by official order?” Lu Huiqing couldn’t help but asked Wang Anshi in shock.
Wang Anshi nodded with a smile and said: “How dare I ask the officials to allocate money from Sinong Temple? After carefully reading my memorial, the officials agreed with my suggestion very much, and the previous 300,000 yuan It also included compensation, but the officials were worried that it was not enough, so they asked Sinong Temple to allocate another 200,000 yuan.”
Lu Huiqing couldn’t believe it and said: “Is that all?”
Wang Anshi stroked his beard and said, “Although the officials just said that, I guess that the officials may still want to strengthen the river through construction of water conservancy projects and try to reduce the damage of floods as much as possible. Moreover.”
He paused for a moment and then said: “If Hou Shuxian and others still believe that eastward flow is not feasible, we can also quietly change the river course through water conservancy projects.”
Lu Huiqing nodded and said, “That’s it.”
Wang Anshi said again: “I plan to recommend you to Hebei to serve as the Transportation Department and be in charge of the Changping Department, specifically responsible for the construction of water conservancy projects. When you come back with meritorious service, I will recommend you to serve as the Councilor for Political Affairs, and at the same time let you be in charge of the Agriculture Department. Temple.”
The implication is to let Lu Huiqing go gilding, come back with some achievements, and become deputy prime minister.
Lu Huiqing looked happy and quickly raised his hands and said, “Thank you, teacher, for your support. This student will definitely fulfill his mission.”
Wang Anshi nodded with a smile and said: “Under the current situation, we need more financial support. Sinong Temple and Taifu Temple must be completely under our hands. In addition, I also plan to summon Xue Xiang back , recommended him as the third envoy.”
Lu Huiqing asked: “Can this be done?”
Wang Anshi smiled and said: “I mentioned to the officials just now that Xue Xiang’s achievements in the south of the Yangtze River have made all the granaries in the capital abundant. The officials are also very satisfied with this, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
While we were chatting, Deng Wan suddenly came.
“Xiangong Wang, Collector Lu, have you ever heard that the guards on horseback slandered the government, disturbed the morale of the army, and intended to rebel.”
“What?”
Wang Anshi stood up excitedly, “Is the bodyguard Ma planning to rebel?”
Lu Huiqing frowned and said, “How is this possible?”
It’s impossible for you, Deng Wan, to tell us about such a big matter!
“That’s how it works”
Deng Wan quickly told the two of them the whole story.
When Wang Anshi learned that it was a false alarm, he couldn’t help but said: “Don’t talk like that next time, but this is really scary.”
“Yes yes yes.”
Deng Wan nodded repeatedly.
Wang Anshi hummed again: “Those soldiers are too ignorant and deserve to suffer.”
Isn’t accusing Dongliu just scolding him?
Damn it!
Lu Huiqing asked: “This kind of thing is relatively common. Does Deng Yushi need to come and tell us personally?”
Deng Wan said hurriedly: “This kind of thing was very common in the past, but now that there is a public prosecutor’s law, will the Imperial City Division hand over this case to Dali Temple or the Procuratorate?
Anyway, I heard that the relatives of this soldier had gone to the police station to report the case, and the police station also sent the Royal Police to the Imperial City Division to inquire, but the Imperial City Division said they had no comment. ”
Wang Anshi understood it as soon as he heard it. After thinking for a moment, he said: “Now the court has a lot of things to deal with, so let’s stop making trouble. Besides, if this matter is really brought to court, it will not look good on anyone’s face.”
He is really tired of this kind of behavior and likes to do it, but after doing it, he will embarrass himself.
Deng Wan originally wanted to come here to offer advice. This was an opportunity to deal with the public prosecutor, but he found that Wang Anshi had a wrong attitude. He moved his eyes and said hurriedly: “Ms. Wang, this is why I came here to tell you. As the saying goes “The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn’t stop. According to the official’s opinion, someone will definitely fan the flames and stir up trouble. After all, this public prosecutor’s office is hated by people!”
“Well, whether the public security system can last forever is really a question!”
Wang Anshi couldn’t help but sigh, they would take this big thing against the public prosecutor, and said to Lu Huiqing: “Jifu, your business is the most important, don’t be distracted by this matter, go back Be prepared.”
“Students understand.”
After leaving the room, Deng Wan asked Lu Huiqing: “Lv Xiaokan, what are you going to do?”
Lu Huiqing said: “My mentor asked me to go to Hebei to serve as the transportation department, responsible for the construction of water conservancy. When I came back, he recommended me to be the counselor of political affairs and in charge of Sinong Temple.”
Deng Wan immediately said with a flattering look on his face: “This is a great event, congratulations, congratulations.”
“What a joy!” Lu Huiqing sighed: “The situation in the DPRK and China is so turbulent, how can I go to Daming Mansion with peace of mind.”
Don’t come back, this lair has been taken care of.
Deng Wan said: “They have made it clear that they want to deal with the public security organs, and they will not affect us.”
“I hope so!”
Lu Huiqing nodded slightly, but still felt uneasy. Suddenly, he thought of someone.
Procuratorate.
When Zhang Fei saw Lu Huiqing, his heart couldn’t help but he smiled and said, “Why does Director Lu have time to sit here with me today?”
Lu Huiqing smiled and said, “Can’t I come to you if I have nothing to do?”
“Of course not.”
Zhang Fei smiled and said: “It’s just that the Ordinance Department of the Second Government has been so busy recently, I don’t believe that Xiao Xiao came to me for tea.”
Lu Huiqing couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said: “It seems that everyone knows that our Ordinance Department of the Second Prefecture has been very busy recently.”
After a short pause, he said seriously: “My mentor recently sent me to Hebei to serve as the transshipment department, so I came here to ask you for advice.”
“Ouch! I don’t dare to do this!”
Having said that, Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief and added: “Lv Xiaokan is talented and capable, but I am only from Xiaoerbi. I may be able to give you a few suggestions on judicial matters. On other aspects, , I can’t do it at all!”
A smile flashed in Lu Huiqing’s eyes, “Don’t underestimate yourself, it’s not the first day we met. In fact, if you just let me be in charge of the finances, then I have confidence, but I’m afraid that God will not be kind to me. The flood made all my efforts go to waste.”
Zhang Fei nodded, pondered for a while, and said: “Actually, I think water and fire are ruthless and impermanent. No one dares to say that we can definitely prevent floods. We can only rely on those who are familiar with water conservancy to see how to manage them. .
Secondly, I think as long as the people truly feel that the court is helping them, they will understand even if they encounter floods. I’m afraid that if floods and public grievances are intertwined, the problem will be huge. ”
Lu Huiqing nodded slightly, “But how to help the people?”
Zhang Fei said: “I can’t say the specifics. After all, I don’t know the local situation, but I will ask the charity foundation to follow me. Lu Xiaokan can seek solutions from their businessmen on how to avoid losses. Businessmen are very good at it.”
Lu Huiqing nodded. In fact, this was the purpose of his coming here. In view of the situation in Hezhong Mansion, he knew that the charity foundation could provide him with great support and avoid being restrained by the Hebei officials. After all, there But Han Qi’s base camp suddenly said: “Besides, there is one more thing that I am worried about.”
Zhang Fei asked: “What’s the matter?”
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: “It’s a matter of the Imperial City Department.”
Zhang Fei said in surprise: “You already know?”
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: “I’m just afraid that if I talk about this first, you won’t be in the mood to give me advice.”
Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and said, “Oh my God! The news got out after all.”
Lu Huiqing’s expression changed and asked: “How do you plan to respond?”
Zhang Fei said: “I hope that the Imperial City Division will be handed over directly to Dali Temple for trial. This matter is very difficult for the public prosecutor to handle, and we will face various problems.”
Lu Huiqing said: “I think it is very likely that this matter will still be brought to the public prosecutor’s office.”
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: “Why?”
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: “Because Mr. Wen, President Zhao, and Bachelor Sima have all complained about the Imperial City Division for a long time. They have long wanted to find ways to restrict the Imperial City Division, so they will definitely ask for prosecution by the Procuratorate.
In addition, there are many officials in the DPRK and China who are trying their best to deal with the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Procuratorate. If these two groups come together, the case will most likely fall into the hands of your Procuratorate. ”
“Does Collator Lu have any good ideas?” Zhang Fei asked.
Lu Huiqing smiled and said, “You won’t be able to use my method. If you always adhere to the principles of public security, prosecution and law, then you can only wait for the lawsuit to come.”
Zhang Fei nodded with a wry smile.
Lu Huiqing said: “My mentor has no intention of getting involved in this matter, but I am very worried about whether this matter will have a bad impact on the New Deal if it comes to the imperial court.
I know that the two soldiers were arrested because they were dissatisfied with Cheng Fang’s behavior in Hebei. If they said anything in court, some people with evil intentions might take the opportunity to frame their mentor and bring him to justice. All the blame lies on the teacher. ”
Zhang Fei said: “Lv Xiaokan can rest assured about this. If the Procuratorate really takes over, I will definitely take this into consideration. Lu Xiaokan has no need to worry about this matter.”
Lu Huiqing smiled and nodded: “Then I’ll be relieved.”
Dong dong dong!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhang Fei asked: “What’s the matter?”
Qi Ji’s voice came from outside the door, “Prosecutor Zhang, Chief Prosecutor Xu asked you to come over.”
Lu Huiqing stood up and said, “I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Zhang Fei was about to cry but said without tears: “I would rather be disturbed by Lu Xiaokan.”
“Haha.!”
It turned out that someone from the imperial court had sent someone to ask Xu Zun or Zhang Fei to go to the imperial court, so Xu Zun asked Zhang Fei to go and have a look first.
Imperial Court.
“I don’t know what the chief judge’s orders are when he calls me here?”
Zhang Fei asked slightly anxiously.
Zhao Peng said very directly: “Someone came to the Imperial Court to complain, saying that the Imperial City Division abused lynching and framed good people. The president of this court hopes that your procuratorate will send someone to investigate the Imperial City Division to see if such a situation exists.”
Zhang Fei glanced at Zhao Bian, hesitated for a moment, and then said: “To be honest with the Chief Justice, in fact, we have known about this matter before, and the police department has also asked about it, but after all, the Imperial City Division belongs to the Imperial City, and this is also their authority, can we intervene?”
Zhao Pian frowned and said: “According to Prosecutor Zhang’s intention, the Imperial City Division can kill people and set fires? No one can control it?”
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: “This official has no such intention.”
Zhao Bian said: “But this is what the Imperial City Division does. If this continues, they can arrest everyone in the world with just one slander about government affairs. What else will the public prosecutor do?
Since the officials want to revitalize the judiciary, they should set an example. There are evil people in the imperial city telling us how to enforce strict laws. They still have no comment. I think they are simply lawless and unreasonable. Also, has prosecutor Zhang’s courage in suing the court been exhausted? ”
Zhang Fei tried his best to smile, “Yes, I will send someone to investigate immediately.”
After leaving the imperial court, Zhang Fei did not return to the procuratorate, but went straight to the palace. He never expected that the imperial court would take the initiative to order an intervention in the investigation, which was clearly aimed at dealing with the Imperial City Division. Then there was no other way, he had to talk to the emperor.
Seeing Zhang Fei, Zhao Xu smiled and asked: “You are so anxious to see me, you are here for the Imperial City Department.”
Zhang Fei nodded and said: “Yes, the Imperial Court has just ordered our procuratorate to intervene in the investigation of this case.”
Zhao Xu’s face was still and he asked: “What do you think?”
“Excessive.”
Zhang Fei said: “They have gone too far. I think the Imperial City Division is just fulfilling its duties. This is beyond reproach!”
