[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

Chapter 141 I'm a Princess in the Red Mansion 12

When he came out, he was in a good mood, but when he went back, although Emperor Qianyuan was not overwhelmed, it was obvious that he was not happy either.Li Mu was protected by someone sent by Liang Zhong, and then he ordered Jin Yiwei to cooperate with the Secretary of General Administration to investigate the matter strictly.

Jia Amnesty was warned that he was not allowed to go home and tell his family what happened today. He was actually a little excited in his heart. After all, things like people blocking the way and shouting for injustice when going out are probably only found in drama books. He had also heard the story of Bao Qingtian told by people in the book before, and he had fantasized about being an upright official who would make decisions for the people, but now that this matter happened, Jia She immediately remembered his previous ideal.He originally wanted to go back and show off to his grandparents, but Emperor Qianyuan ordered him to ban him, so he couldn't help but feel a little upset.

Compared with Jia She, who fooled his family after returning home, Tu Jingchen was also greatly shocked, not to mention going to the study, like the prince, Taifu, Shaofu, etc., when giving lectures to him, he always said what many people said. In the Zhengying Dynasty, anyway, in their mouth, the officials in the court are all moral gentlemen, and it is enough for the Holy Son of Heaven to rule.As a result, when this happened now, in order to rob the people of their treasures, some officials would not hesitate to plant and frame them, causing them to be ruined and their families destroyed. This immediately made Tu Jingchen feel a little disillusioned.

Emperor Qianyuan didn't notice that Tu Jingchen's three views had been challenged, he went back to the bedroom angrily, and ate two extra bowls for dinner, biting his bones as if he was eating the meat of the mastermind behind the scenes, after eating he called Fortunately, a low-ranking concubine vented fiercely on the concubine who thought she had bumped her luck, and then said coldly: "Don't stay!" She hurriedly returned to her residence. After all, with her status, she was not qualified to stay overnight in Emperor Qianyuan's bedroom.

When the emperor really wants to understand something, the people below are also very quick to act.After Emperor Qianyuan came to the throne, he didn't pay much attention to Jinyiwei and the General Secretary. Now that he finally found a place where he can use his skills, the two yamen are fighting to contribute, hoping to show their heads with Emperor Qianyuan so that they can really rule the court. The hall made its own voice.

Taking advantage of the convenient location, the Secretary of the General Administration went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the case file first, but Jin Yiwei was a step behind and had to go to Tongzhou to investigate first.

Tongzhou is not far from the capital, and the case has not been too long. Besides, in a normal county, there will not be many cases involving capital crimes throughout the year. It is not because the people are simple and the crime rate is low these days. Because the imperial power does not go to the countryside these days, if it is not something difficult to solve, everyone will not sue the yamen at all.If you really count the statistics, in each village and town, there are not many people who are lynched every year just because of the rules of family law and family law. The cost of letting the authority of the imperial court go deep into the countryside is too high, and it is impossible to support so many officials.In addition, the evaluation of judging and judging cases in the evaluation of officials these years is actually not the rate of cases solved, but the rate of cases. The fewer cases, the stronger the ability of officials to govern the local area, so local officials are often willing to The less trouble, the better.Therefore, there must be many people who know about this kind of case involving the dead in the local area. With Jin Yiwei's ability, he should be able to get enough information.

Jin Yiwei has gained a lot, but the Secretary of General Affairs found a problem in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. This kind of case is obviously involved in a murder case, and the main criminal died in prison because of the punishment, and the accessory has not been sentenced to hard labor. Logically speaking, it has already It was a serious case, but there was no relevant record in the file of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.This is interesting. Either someone from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs colluded with the local government and destroyed the relevant case files, or the officials in charge of this matter were bold and did not follow the formal procedures at all. No matter what it is, it is very serious. Secretary of General Administration I didn't dare to hide it, so I reported it first.

Emperor Qianyuan got the secret document from the General Administration Department, and he laughed angrily. How many years has it been since the founding of Daqi? Emperor, although Emperor Qianyuan is still young, but in the past few years, although the emperor's mind is not perfect, it has already reached a certain level.Being an emperor himself is similar to Ye Luzi's background. After all, he himself did not expect the throne to fall to himself at the beginning. After all, he has so many elder brothers above him. Who knows, such an excellent and well-received prince Brother actually died because of disaster relief?

Emperor Qianyuan was the crown prince for a few months, and the first emperor didn't have time to teach him anything, so what he learned was all he figured out after he became the emperor. He thought he would control the court very well. , but now I find that I was wrong, Tongzhou can barely be regarded as the foot of the emperor, even if such a thing happened, then in other places, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who knows what those officials are doing!

But it was these officials who committed the crimes, but the common people only hated the imperial court, which is very pitiful!Emperor Qianyuan thought that since he ascended the throne, he has always been gentle and never dealt harshly, so that the following people all think that he is easy to fool!Emperor Qianyuan knew that compared with the two founding emperors, he would not be able to create stronger achievements in martial arts than the other, and that could only rely on martial arts.According to the laws of the past dynasties, the world has been peaceful for decades, and when you come to Emperor Qianyuan, you can live in a prosperous age even if you lie flat, but if you really let the people below do anything wrong, then it will be a prosperous age!

In comparison, Feng Yu has really seen a lot. The rule of these years is actually based on the so-called etiquette, which can reduce a considerable part of the cost. The cost is too low, or in other words, it is too easy to grab benefits in the name of etiquette, so many strange things have become very common in this era.Therefore, the clan has great power, and can punish ordinary clan members by lynching. If there is any problem in the local area, everyone's first reaction is not to go to the government, but to the clan, or to the squire.As for local officials, their role as officials is not for the people to be parents. Even if a stunned young man wants to do something at first, he will soon face a series of impacts such as the country gentry, wealthy family and subordinate staff. It can be as light as dust.In addition, if officials in central Beijing want to make money, they usually rely on the filial piety of the lower levels, while local officials have more ways to make money. They can list various names to collect taxes. I don't know, whatever they say, the people can only agree with the truth.In short, the imperial court's ability to restrain the grassroots is actually very low.If you want to change this, you need a large number of officials, and in order to support so many officials, you need to increase productivity. Ordinary feudal countries cannot support so many off-duty officials. Therefore, at least you have to enter the period of industrialization just do.

If Fengyu were the emperor, she could promote the development of this process, but she is just a princess. In this era, the princess is actually like a canary bird raised by the royal family. You can enjoy it to your heart's content, but if you want to interfere in political affairs, then you still have to Save it!

Therefore, Feng Yu just talked to Tu Jingchen, expressing that he wanted to know what happened next, and Tu Jingchen himself was very curious, so he agreed, and Emperor Qianyuan obviously wanted to take advantage of this time. The matter taught Jiaotu Jingchen, the prince, so he shared the progress of the matter with Tu Jingchen in real time, and then Fengyu knew about it.

While the Department of General Affairs was still investigating whether the relevant people had colluded with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jin Yiwei had already found out a lot of things.Among other things, that case is undoubtedly an unjust case, because the corpse itself has problems.Jin Yiwei inspected many people, and even asked Wu Zuo to open the coffin for an autopsy, and finally confirmed that the corpse was thrown to Li Mu's house after an accidental death.The identity of the corpse was also found out. In fact, it was a local bastard who drank too much alcohol, passed out drunk, and then choked to death with his own vomit.The people in Li Mu's family don't even have any contact with this bum, because they are not from the same village at all, and they are separated by more than ten miles. Maybe they have seen each other in the market, but probably they have only heard of the other party. name.

Many people know that Li Mu's family is wronged. The Li family is not a rich and unkind family. Their family is considered a local rich man. They have hundreds of acres of land, and they have cultivated [-] to [-] acres. The rest are rented out. .It's just that the Li family is an outsider. They moved here when the war was just pacified. It happened that the world was initially settled, and their family had money. After buying hundreds of acres of land, they settled down in the local area smoothly.On the one hand, they are proficient in business, and on the other hand, they also have savings. They have successively purchased a lot of fertile land over the years, and have become relatively famous landlords nearby.

But no matter how rich they are, they are also outsiders. For the locals, xenophobia is a normal thing, and after the incident, the local village head and patriarch Lizheng bought the land of the Li family at a very low price. The Li family overturned the case, and there is still a young boy in the family. If they are investigated in the future, they will not be able to escape.Therefore, they kept silent, and naturally other people would not be free to avenge the unfamiliar Li family.Now someone came to ask, and heard that the escaped son of the Li family had climbed up to the nobleman, many people panicked immediately, they lived in a small place all their lives, had little knowledge, and were worried that Li Mu would take revenge on them, so they simply said honestly Say what you know.

Li Mu didn't lie, but he didn't know who was behind the scenes. After all, he was a child at that time, and the dust was almost settled when he came back.Li Mu didn't know, but Jin Yiwei wanted to check, and many things were easy to check.At the beginning, the person who gave the gift to Emperor Qianyuan was He Zhan, then Minister of Taichang Temple. Although Taichang Temple is one of the five temples, it is in charge of sacrifices, but its function is relatively weak, at least much worse than that of Dali Temple. Later, this person was promoted. , and now he is the Minister of Rites.

Interestingly, the prefect of Tongzhou at that time was called Liu Yao, who was He Zhan's nephew and son-in-law, and the county magistrate who judged the case was called Qin Ke, but the county magistrate Zengyou was the same year as Liu Yao, but Liu Yao was born as a Jinshi. You are the same Jinshi, and the ranking is also very low.But last year, Zeng You filled the post of magistrate of a county in the south of the Yangtze River, while Qin Ke served as a general judge in one state.As for Liu Yao, he is still in the position of magistrate, but he has been evaluated as excellent for several years in a row. After this term is over, he should be able to be promoted!

With a smile on the corner of Emperor Qianyuan's mouth, he looked at Tu Jingchen and asked, "How is it? Did you see anything?"

Tu Jingchen gritted his teeth and said, "They are protecting each other by officials and officials, forming a clique for personal gain!"

Emperor Qianyuan nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly the case. Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the officials in the court relied on channels such as the promotion of filial piety and honesty. Therefore, at that time, the officials in the court were all from aristocratic families! Wait until the imperial examination After it became popular, the aristocratic families disappeared, but the officials were connected by the bonds of teachers and students, fellow villagers, and the same year, and naturally became a community of interests in the court, so don't trust those gentlemen who don't The party and the like, everyone is fooling others!"

As an emperor, how many people want his ministers to form cliques for personal gain?It's a pity that this kind of thing is forbidden repeatedly. Emperor Qianyuan's approach is to let more parties form in the court, so that he can balance it.

Seeing Tu Jingchen's dazed look, Emperor Qianyuan patted Tu Jingchen's head and said, "You are still young, don't worry too much, you just need to watch more and think more!"

Tu Jingchen was shocked by Emperor Qianyuan, and in a daze, he came directly to Lingbo Hall.
