When Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu talked about the separation of politics and law, Lu Gongzhu was in favor. The ministers of the Song Dynasty basically had the same idea, which was mutual checks and balances, which was actually the law of their ancestors.
It is of course possible to use the judiciary to supervise administration.
In addition, there is the background of Wang Anshi’s political reform.
Although Lu Gongzhu looks like a victim, after all, he has the authority to know the Kaifeng Mansion, but he will be transferred soon, and he will definitely be in the central government.
The next one will be the unlucky one.
However, he did not want to separate politics and law in this way, and it might involve the Lu family.
But just as Lu Jia asked himself, he was very confident in his eloquence.
really.
His two reasons are difficult to refute, both for public and private matters.
What Wang Hong did was indeed inappropriate. It was clearly Lu Jiawen's fault, but Wang Hong used his family background to humiliate Lu Jiawen and summarily dismissed the Judicial Court's decision.
And Wei Yushan was too bullying.
However, when Wang Hong learned about this, he became even more furious.
This is not bad!
The subordinate actually stabbed his superior.
This is an act of rebellion!
If he doesn't take control, how will he be able to take care of his little brother in the future?
Kaifeng County County Government.
"Lu Jia asked, you are such a wolf-hearted thing."
Wang Hong pointed at Lu Jiawen's nose and cursed loudly: "I think I treat you well. After you entered the Siliyuan, I took good care of you. You actually colluded with me to frame me, and the dignified Lu family actually came out."
You are such a despicable person."
Lu Jia asked: "It is absolutely no offense to me to be an official. The person I am suing is not the county magistrate, but the county government."
"What's the difference?" Wang Hong sneered: "Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts. Let me ask you, is this the idea that Naerbi Zhang San came up with? He wants to take revenge on me. You are like this
The stupid boy was taken advantage of by him."
It was a no-brainer, and he knew that this was Zhang Fei's revenge on him.
It can't all be a coincidence.
Lu Jiawen said expressionlessly: "I just want to seek justice for Geng Ming."
Seeing the boy's firm attitude, Wang Hong smiled coldly: "Because you have committed rebellion, I will temporarily suspend your duties. You go home first and wait for disposal."
Lu Jia asked: "The county magistrate has no right to do this."
Wang Hong said with a smile: "Go back and ask your grandfather if I have the power. Get out!"
"I am resigning."
Lu Jiawen bowed his hands and went out.
Wang Hong snorted angrily: "If his surname hadn't been Lu, I would have killed him badly."
Zheng Yun, the bookkeeper standing next to him, reminded him: "The county magistrate, I think this Lu Jia question is nothing to worry about. The key is Zhang San."
Enemies are the ones you fear the most.
That's why he's here to claim his life.
Wang Hong frowned slightly and said: "Everyone knows that this is Zhang San's revenge. I believe that there will be people in the court who will complain about me without me opening my mouth, and they will never let Zhang San succeed. You order people
Go and call Chen Chong. He, Lu Jia, is not the chief of the Si Li Yuan, so why should he sue in the name of the Si Li Yuan?"
He is not stupid either. Although Zhang Fei came here for him, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the ministers in the DPRK. The subordinates can sue their superiors and that's fine.
Therefore, he has already reported to the court to impeach Lu Jiawen.
What he needs to do now is to quickly rectify the internal situation.
There must never be another Lu Jia question.
In fact, what he expected was right. After his memorial reached the imperial court, it caused great shock.
After receiving Wang Hong's memorial, the Zhengshitang immediately held a meeting to discuss the matter.
"I thought Lu Jiawen was not at fault."
Zhao Tiao stroked his black and white beard and said: "I have seen this. Wang Zhixian's punishment is indeed unfair. As the magistrate of Chixian County, he was so serious and so rash.
We must investigate him strictly, but we are just investigating Wang Hong."
Wen Yanbo said: "Prime Minister Zhao, what we are talking about now is not Geng Mingyi, but the Council of Governors suing the county government. This has never happened before. Whether it can be done."
Wang Anshi on the side sighed and said in a sour voice: "When they sued for the establishment of the Ordinance Department of the Second Government, Duke Wen didn't stand up and say something fair."
Wen Yanbo suddenly remembered this, his face was suddenly embarrassed, and he coughed: "This is not the same thing."
Wang Anshi said reluctantly: "I hope Duke Wen can give me some advice."
Wen Yanbo said: "There is still a difference between the responsibilities of the Yushitai and the responsibilities of the Executive Yuan."
The implication is that the Yushitai and the Admonition Yuan are responsible for impeaching ministers, but they only put the impeachment in court. Everyone knows that the Si Li Yuan does not have this power.
Wang Anshi said: "What we are discussing is not whether the government can sue the government?"
Although Zhao Pian disliked Wang Anshi very much, this time he felt that what Wang Anshi said was indeed reasonable. He nodded and said: "What Wang Anshi said is reasonable. He can actually sue the Ordinance Department of the Second Government. Why can't he sue the county government?"
Since he became an official, he has always been selfless. He was very angry at Wang Hong's behavior, and he believed that Lu Jiawen must have been oppressed, so he did this. He admired Lu Jiawen's courage very much.
Wen Yanbo glanced at Sima Guang next to him, frowned secretly, and stopped arguing with them.
After leaving the Political Affairs Hall, Wen Yanbo asked Sima Guang, "Jun Shi, isn't this your order?"
Sima Guang was startled and said, "How could Mr. Wen think so?"
Wen Yanbo said: "Then why were you silent just now?"
Sima Guang sighed, "The key person here is not Lu Jiawen, but Zhang San."
Wen Yanbo said: "I know that Zhang San wants to take revenge on Wang Hong."
Sima Guang said: "But Zhang San has a good relationship with Wang Jiefu. Judging from his attitude just now, he must be aware of it. Has Mr. Wen ever thought about why Wang Jiefu would support Zhang San in doing this?"
Wen Yanbo pondered for a moment: "You mean, he wants to use this to undermine your judicial reform?"
Sima Guang nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten."
Wen Yanbo couldn't help but feel sad, "His move is really vicious. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Sima Guang frowned and said, "I still have to think about this matter."
Ministry of Punishment.
"I knew that boy Zhang San would never give up. Look, here he comes."
Qi Hui said slightly panicked.
Liu Shudao: "That's not what you said at the beginning. Didn't you say that if you give him a beating, he will know that he was wrong?"
"!"
Qi Huiquan acted as if he didn't hear it and sighed, "If you want to blame it, it's our officials' lack of unity. Otherwise, we wouldn't have allowed him to act so arrogantly."
Qian Yi stroked his beard and sighed: "Yes! Although we all know that this is his revenge on Wangzhi County, but he is employed by Lu Jiawen, so we can't blame him."
The judges had been discussing for a long time when they suddenly saw Fan Chunren sitting aside and saying nothing.
Liu Shu asked: "Fan Sijian, what do you think?"
Fan Chunren was startled and said: "I may not lose this lawsuit."
?
???
Liu Shu said excitedly: "Fan Sijian, what are you thinking about? If you really go to court with Zhang San, wouldn't you be playing into his designs?"
Fan Chunren said sarcastically: "I know, I didn't say I wanted to file a lawsuit with him. I just thought it would happen in case."
Qi Hui said: "Nothing goes wrong, we will definitely stop him this time."
Fan Chunren added: "You must not forget that the Judicial Bachelor has already petitioned the government to demand judicial reform, which includes the separation of politics and law."
The whole hall was silent.
So these judges are all beneficiaries!
If the Executive Yuan is severely punished.
Wouldn't that be weakening their own power? What would they do if they encounter officials' tricks in the future?
Xu Mansion.
"The Political Affairs Hall has discussed this matter for a while, but it seems that no result has been reached, and none of the officials involved in political affairs have expressed their attitude afterwards.
"
Xu Zun, the traitor, returned home and reported the information to Zhang Fei.
The fact that Zhengshitang did not stop this behavior immediately proves that this matter is really serious.
Zhang Fei said: "Actually, I have already expected the attitude of the Zhengshitang. What is important is the attitude of the Dali Temple officials."
Xu Zun smiled slightly: "Silence!"
Zhang Fei exclaimed: "That's right."
Xu Zhiqian curled her lips and said, "Dad, you officials are actually being toyed with by a man who has a sharp ear. You are really not afraid of embarrassment."
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense. It's not that I'm playing tricks on them, but that they use me as a weapon. If this incident really kills people, I can only die. Can those officials be killed?"
Xu Zun thought for a while and said: "This is probably the reason why you can succeed every time, because you have no power dispute with them. Even if justice is done, the judicial power is not in your hands."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "That's exactly it."
Left hall!
"Brother Cen, have you received the news?"
Yu Zaishen entered the room excitedly and said excitedly to Cen Yuanli.
Cen Yuanli sighed: "The court and the central government have already scolded me like that. I can hear it even when I'm sitting at home. I told you that this is impossible, but you don't believe me."
Yu Zaishen waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Brother Cen, you can't just look at the surface!"
"how do I say this?"
"I just received news that the Political Affairs Hall has discussed this matter, but there is no news. There is even news that Prime Minister Zhao supports Lu Jiawen. In addition, Dali Temple, the Court of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment are all very quiet. Although
There are people in the Yushitai and the Yuan Yuan who want to impeach, but whenever something goes wrong, if they don’t stand up and say a few words, their attitude doesn’t matter.”
"you mean?"
"It shows that many people support Lu Jia's question and are just waiting for us to start a fuss."
"you sure?"
Cen Yuanli felt guilty, "This matter can be big or small."
Yu Zaishen said: "It can't be wrong. You see, we have reported it to the provincial government for several days, but the provincial government has never given an explanation. This is enough to prove that what I expected is right. If Brother Cen is afraid, transfer this case to me
Come to the right hall, I'll pick you up."
Cen Yuanli asked: "Will you answer it directly?"
Yu Zaishen said: "Now that we don't accept it, it's hard to talk to the superiors. Lu Jia asked if there is any suspicion. If we accept it, they can support us. We are right after all. Wangzhi County rejected the judgment of the Justice Yuan.
There is indeed a lack of reason, and a first trial is also in line with the legal system."
Cen Yuanli thought to himself, if this matter is successful, then he will be the number one contributor! He suddenly thought, "Okay, I will listen to you, we will take this lawsuit."
Kaifeng County Government.
"It's not good, county magistrate. Chen Chong suddenly regretted his decision and expressed his support for Lu Jiawen. He also said that if the county magistrate did not let Lu Jiawen come back, he would continue to appeal on Lu Jiawen's behalf."
Zheng Yun, the chief clerk, hurriedly came to the hall and reported to Wang Hong.
"What?"
Wang Hong stood up in a hurry, "Didn't we make the agreement two days ago? As long as he is on my side, I will definitely promote him in the future."
Zheng Yun said: "I don't know why Chen Chong suddenly changed his mind."
Before he finished speaking, a civil servant quickly walked into the courtroom and said, "Magistrate, what's bad, news came from the left hall just now. They have accepted Lu Jiawen's appeal and said that the trial will be held in seven days."
"How can it be?"
Wang Hong said excitedly: "How could Magistrate Lu allow them to do this?"
Little did he know that Lu Gongzhu only learned the news an hour earlier.
Kaifeng Mansion.
"Rebellion! Rebellion!"
Li Kai paced back and forth in the hall, "We haven't decided yet, how dare he, Cen Yuanli, take over this lawsuit without permission."
Mr. Lu sighed.
Li Kai was stunned for a moment: "Prefect Lu, you won't just let them do whatever they want, right?"
Lu Gong wrote: "Compared to Jiawen, they have the right to take this lawsuit. This does not even violate the system, but the final verdict must be left to us to decide. If we don't have sufficient reasons, we can
Intervene, what if they follow the example of that brat and sue our Kaifeng Mansion to Dali Temple?"
Li Kai was stunned immediately.
Dali Temple.
"Xu Temple Affairs, my subordinates thought that Wang Zhixian had indeed gone too far. The Judgment of the Sili Yuan was well-founded. How could he dismiss it so hastily? This is really unreasonable."
"Lü Jiawen came forward this time to defend the judiciary. If we at Dali Temple do not provide support, we may not be able to convince the public."
"We all believe that support should be given to Lu Jiawen."
All the officials in Dali Temple expressed their support for Lu Jiawen.
Xu Zun was really convinced, nodded and said: "Okay, since you have said so, then we will support the Siliyuan."
If the Siliyuan is no longer under the jurisdiction of the county government, then who will be in charge of it? Isn't it Dali Temple?
Supreme Court.
At least get a big piece of the pie and go away.
Not to mention the Court of Justice, after all, it is still above the Dali Temple. If the judiciary is separated from the administration, then their power will be transferred to the local governments.
It’s so cool just thinking about it!
Only the prosecutor's voice is relatively quiet. Whether they are separated or not, they all have the power to interrogate, but they don't have to worry too much. After all, dealing with the prefect is still a bit empty.
The smaller the power is, the smaller the voice will be.
