Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 530 Favorable Split
Public prosecution law!
If you really understand these three words, you can actually guess Zhang Fei's plan.

The mystery is already written in it.

The reason why it is public procuratorial law instead of legal procuratorate is very simple. If there is no "public", this "procuratorial law" would be impossible to talk about.

If the former yamen were used to work for the current imperial court, the result could be imagined.

It is bound to fail.

Because the entire law enforcement procedure may be wrong, and the imperial court's trial method places great emphasis on the process, and the government officials will become defendants every day.

This is also why, after arriving at the Hezhong Mansion, Zhang Fei tried to take all the offending people on himself, while the police station chose a more tactful way of dealing with it. Wei Yingfang asked the police station to accept government servants, and Zhang Fei also let Don't refuse the police station, don't offend them.

If everyone focuses their attention on the police station, then the entire public security system will be unable to move forward.

The police station is like the tentacles of the imperial court. Where the police station has not touched, the imperial court is just beyond its reach.

Although this lawsuit is of great political significance, Zhang Fei is also using this lawsuit to create a more favorable construction environment for the police station.

From the current point of view, it is obviously relatively successful.

At this time, no one cared about the police station, as if the imperial court was the embodiment of the entire public security law.

This verdict overturned civil and military perceptions of the judiciary. They rushed back immediately to study how to treat the imperial court.

"You guys are putting the cart before the horse!"

Zhong Er said to Qin Zhongshou excitedly: "You have to understand one thing, our generals rely on military exploits to gain glory and wealth, not by selling salt.

To take a step back, if you don't have military merits, you don't even have the qualifications to sell salt.

The imperial court is obviously helpful for us to make military achievements, this is the most important thing, if anyone is dissatisfied with the imperial court, let him come to me. "

Qin Zhongshou was very aggrieved and said: "Deputy envoy, don't vent your anger on me. I just said that many people in the army are afraid of the imperial court because of the salt money lawsuit. After all, the salt money is beneficial to many people. Generals are very important."

"What are you doing!"

"Third brother."

Zhong Gu stopped Zhong Er, and said: "Be at peace first and don't be impatient. Commander Qin's worries are not unreasonable. The world is prosperous, and it is all for profit. If the imperial court cuts off people's wealth , that will naturally cause dissatisfaction among others, which is also human nature."

He suddenly changed the subject, and said to Qin Zhongshou: "But people who think so are just short-sighted. After all, our generals want to gain a foothold by relying on military merits. Judging from this trial, the imperial court obviously supports our generals. It can make us have no worries on the battlefield, which is very important to us."

Qin Zhongshou nodded and sighed: "I also understand this truth, but the people below don't think about getting rich with military exploits. Moreover, this trial alone is not enough to make those people give up their interests .”

The Zhong brothers looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

Still the same sentence, this freezing three feet, not a day's cold.

The military administration in the Northern Song Dynasty was very corrupt, and a lot of gray interests were involved. The main messenger behind Gao Wenyin's previous lawsuit was also related to the military.

The water here is too muddy, and the previous salt money lawsuit has made many people in the army angry.

Although the final judgment is beneficial to the kind, it will definitely scare many people. There are no unspoken rules in your trial, and our money will be cut off for you.

Zhe Jizu suddenly said: "Zhongshou! Then which side do you choose?"

Qin Zhongshou was startled, and looked at Zhe Jizu in shock.

Zhe Jizu said very directly: "Our children of the Zhe family, the Zhong family, and the Yao family fought with their lives at the border, not to make those people corrupt and accept bribes."

Qin Zhongshou couldn't help thinking, your Zhejia army has Fuzhou as a base, and with the favor of the royal family, naturally you don't have to worry about prosperity, but other people are different.But he said: "Generals, of course I am on your side, but based on this trial alone, it is too early to conclude that the imperial court supports our generals.

Furthermore, in the imperial court, except for Zhang San who was born in Erbi, everyone else was born as a civil servant, which means that this is still controlled by the civil servants. "

As soon as these words came out, there was slight hesitation on their faces.

Yao Xi suddenly said: "Although the imperial court and the procuratorate are still controlled by civil officials, the police station is controlled by the Cao family."

Qin Zhongshou nodded and said: "That's true. The police station is indeed more inclined to our military. I heard that most of the royal police in the General Police Station are also transferred from the Fourth Army. Not long ago, Superintendent Cao said We need to recruit people from our army."

Yao Si asked again: "How much power does this police station have?"

Qin Zhongshou said: "According to what Cao Yanei said, their power is not small, and they can check and balance the procuratorate and the imperial court, but they can't see it yet."

Several people looked at each other tacitly.

Zhe Jizu said again: "Although it is only a judgment, as far as it is concerned, we will not oppose the imperial court no matter what."

Qin Zhongshou said: "But I don't think we should support the imperial court too much. After all, we need the cooperation of various armies to fight Xixia."

Zhe Jizu, Zhong Er and others also nodded slightly.

It is undeniable that their Zhejia is actually a warlord, because they are hereditary in Fuzhou, and their finances are very independent, which is one of the reasons why the Zhejia army has a strong combat effectiveness.

But even putting this aside, the imperial court is still in the interests of their family.

They are still very loyal to this regime and eager to make contributions. They are not afraid that they will not get military achievements, but those generals in the army who fish in troubled waters will harm the interests of the Zhe family and rob them of their achievements.

The same is true for Kinder and the others.

"Please rest assured, when I go back, I will definitely ask about the power of the imperial court."

After speaking, Zheng Xie said to Lu Shen again: "Brother Lu, what do you think about this?"

Lu Shen was stunned, then looked around at everyone, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for coming to support Lu."

Immediately afterwards, he said: "But I support the imperial court."

"Brother Lu, how do you say that?"

Several friends were surprised.

Lu Shen sighed: "Although my court uses literature to control martial arts, the fact is not always the case. Things like that kind of stupidity, or even worse things, often happen, and our civil officials are often helpless. It is the source of this case. Then we can also rely on the imperial court to check and balance those generals in many matters."

A person on the opposite side said: "But the imperial court obviously favors generals."

Lu Shen said, "That will have to be seen later."

"After watching?"

"Not bad!"

Lu Shen nodded and said, "What I'm most dissatisfied with about this trial is not that the principles are biased against kindness, but that he didn't bring them up beforehand, and when he made the judgment later, he would draw out a few principles from time to time, which is to bend the law for personal gain." !"

Zheng Xie nodded and said, "That's right! This is indeed a problem. Brother Lu has a countermeasure."

Lu Shen said: "It's very simple, let President Zhang announce the principles first, and you can't add them at will."

The most interesting thing about this lawsuit is that both Zhong Er and Lu Shen feel that they are victims and feel very wronged.

Zhong Er thought that I had made such a great contribution, not only was I not rewarded, but I was dismissed as a result, and I brought it up every day, endlessly.

But Lu Shen thinks, in fact, he didn't obey the order, I acted in accordance with the court's law, and I became a helpless person in the end. Is there any king's law for this?

But things like this were very common in the Song Dynasty, and the emperor often judged rewards and punishments based on his own likes and dislikes.

Zhang Fei said that war is the continuation of politics, but the emperor chose to use literature to control military power mainly to gain imperial power. The difference in this concept will lead to many problems in implementation.

Sometimes military generals break the law and discipline, as long as the emperor thinks he is loyal, he will not care about him.

In fact, the civil servants don't have much choice but to quarrel with the emperor, so it makes people feel that these civil servants are targeting the generals every day.

It can be seen that this kind of thing actually has many aspects. It can only be analyzed in specific cases and cannot be generalized.

Although Lu Shen was also somewhat dissatisfied with the verdict, he felt that it was at least better than the verdict with the emperor's eyes closed.

As Zhang Fei said, at least this process is relatively fair, just and open.

This also caused the two groups of people to be more inclined to the imperial court.

But they only represent some civilian and military generals.

It can be seen from this that the appearance of this third party will inevitably lead to division.

"I knew it!"

"what do you know?"

Wei Yingfang looked sideways at Cao Yi.

Cao Yidao: "I knew that Zhang San would favor generals."

He Chunlin hurriedly asked, "How do you say that?"

Cao Yi said: "Don't you understand that, Zhang San will use this case to win over the generals, and then deal with us. After this sentence, the vice envoys will definitely be grateful to the imperial court. Going against the imperial court is not so easy."

"That's what happened."

Wei Yingfang also nodded slightly.

He was there because he saw with his own eyes how excited they were at that time.

He Chunlin anxiously said, "Then how should we deal with it?"

Cao Yidao: "We must destroy the relationship between them."

He Chunlin asked, "How to destroy it?"

Cao Yi glanced at them and said, "The pool of water in the army is much muddier than ours."

Wei Yingfang was surprised and said, "You don't want to inform me, do you?"

Cao Yi said: "It's not impossible."

Wei Yingfang immediately said: "Of course not. We are on the cusp of the storm at this time. If this kind of thing happens, they must know that someone is playing tricks. If they take revenge, they will also inform the imperial court. This is tantamount to fighting against each other. The fisherman reaps the benefits."

Everyone's butts are not clean!
This kind of behavior is to burn jade and stone together.

He Chunlin also nodded and said: "Wei Tongpan is right, this cannot be forced. We have common interests in these matters. If we can inform, they can also inform."

Cao Yi smiled and said: "There is no need for us to inform, we can use a small case to lure the imperial court to investigate, and then everyone's hatred will be concentrated in the imperial court, not only will we not inform each other, but it will make us even stronger. unity."

royal court.

"The official's side has already made arrangements. As long as the police station recruits people there, there will be no financial problems."

The big dog whispered.

Zhang Fei nodded, and said, "Did the officials say how many people to recruit?"

Big Dog said: "No more than 3 people."

"No more than 3 people?"

Zhang Fei was startled, and said: "It's very difficult to surpass! If the police station expands to 3 people, it will scare them all to pee."

The big dog said: "The officials said that Chief Judge Zhang can handle it on his own."

Zhang Fei nodded, and asked again: "About manpower?"

Da Gou immediately handed over a note, and said: "The officials also said that Chief Judge Zhang should watch Cao Yanei and the others."

Zhang Fei took the note and looked at it. There was nothing else but a few names, and said with a wry smile, "I'm really both a father and a mother."

In fact, another important reason for the expansion of the police station is that Zhao Xu hopes to use the police station to rectify the forbidden army. In fact, the Song Dynasty is unwilling to go to war with Xixia. Finance is one aspect, and on the other hand, everyone knows that the forbidden army's combat effectiveness is very worrying , may not be able to beat.

But don't say that you will win if you rush over.

Many civil servants are cowards, and they are also exported, just like the early Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that civil servants are more arrogant than military generals.

What to do if you lose, and who will be responsible.

It's not that officials were not sent to rectify before, but the results were all symptomatic and not root cause.

Zhao Xu had already made up his mind to fight, and he had to find a way, so he borrowed the police station to try and start a new one.

But you must be careful, and you must not let people see it, otherwise, this will not end well.

Because this will arouse the fear of the commander of the frontier army, your emperor will start a new fire. Is this aimed at Xixia or us generals in the Northwest.
