If you really understand these three words, you can actually guess Zhang Fei's plan.
The secret is already written in it.
The reason why it is the Public Procuratorate and not the Judicial Procuratorate is very simple. If there is no "public", there will be no such thing as "procuratorate".
If the former government officials were used to serve the current imperial court, the result would be conceivable.
It is bound to fail.
Because the entire law enforcement procedure may be wrong, and the imperial court trial method attaches great importance to the process, the Yamen will become defendants every day.
This is why, after coming to Hezhong Mansion, Zhang Fei tried his best to take all the offending matters on himself, while the police station chose a more diplomatic way of dealing with it. Wei Yingfang asked the police station to accept the yamen, and Zhang Fei also asked
Don't refuse the police station, don't offend them.
If everyone focuses their attention on the police station, 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 yet been involved, the imperial court is only out of 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 prosecutor's office.
This verdict subverted civil and military perceptions of justice. They all rushed back immediately to study carefully how to treat this imperial court.
"You are simply putting the cart before the horse!"
Zhong E looked excitedly and said to Qin Zhongshou: "You must understand that our generals rely on military merit to obtain glory and wealth, not by selling salt.
To say the least, if you don't have military merit, you don't even have the qualifications to sell salt.
The Imperial Court will obviously help us achieve military success, and this is the most important thing. If anyone is dissatisfied with the Imperial Court, let him come to me."
Qin Zhongshou said aggrievedly: "Deputy Ambassador Zhong, don't vent your anger on me. I just said that many people in the army were afraid of the imperial court because of the lawsuit over the salt banknotes. After all, the benefits of the salt banknotes are of great benefit to many people."
Generals are very important."
"What are you doing!"
"Third brother."
Zhong Ji stopped Zhong E and said, "Please be patient first. Commander Qin's worries are not unreasonable. The world is prosperous and everyone is seeking benefits. If the imperial court cuts off other people's financial paths,
, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among others, which is also human nature."
He suddenly changed the topic and said to Qin Zhongshou: "But people who think this way are just short-sighted. We generals must rely on military merit to gain a foothold, and judging from this trial, the imperial court clearly supports our generals, and
It allows us to have no worries on the battlefield, which is very important to us."
Qin Zhongshou nodded and sighed: "I understand this, but the people below do not want to use military merit to make a fortune. Moreover, this trial alone is not enough to make those below give up the interests in their hands.
."
The Zhong brothers looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.
As the saying goes, this three feet of ice does not freeze in one day.
The military administration of the Northern Song Dynasty was very corrupt, involving a large number of gray interests. The people behind Gao Wenyin's previous lawsuit were also related to the military.
The water here is too muddy, and the previous salt banknote lawsuit has made many people in the army angry. It is really for Zhong E's sake that they hold back and keep silent.
Although the final judgment is in favor of the son-in-law, it will definitely frighten many people. There are no hidden rules in your trial of law, and our financial path will be cut off by you.
Zhe Jizu suddenly said: "Zhongshou! Then which side do you choose to stand on?"
Qin Zhongshou was startled and looked at Zhe Jizu in shock.
Zhe Jizu said very directly: "We, the children of the Zhe family, the Zhong family, and the Yao family, fight with our lives on the border, not to allow those people to embezzle and accept bribes."
Qin Zhongshou couldn't help but think to himself, your Zhejia Army has Fuzhou as its base, and with the favor of the royal family, you don't have to worry about glory and wealth, but others are different. He said: "Generals, of course I am standing
On your side, but based on this trial alone, it is too early to conclude that the imperial court supports our general.
Furthermore, except for Zhang San, who was born in Erbi, the rest of the people in the imperial court were all serious civil servants, which means they are still controlled by civil servants."
As soon as these words came out, there was slight hesitation on the faces of Zhongjie and others.
Yao Si suddenly said: "Although the imperial court and the procuratorate are still controlled by civilian officials, the police station is controlled by the Cao family."
Qin Zhongshou nodded and said: "That's true. The police station is indeed more biased towards our military. I heard that most of the royal policemen in the general police station were transferred from the Fourth Army. Not long ago, Superintendent Cao also said
We need to recruit people in 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. They can check and balance the procuratorate and the imperial court, but it is not obvious yet."
Several people looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Zhe Jizu added: "Although it is just a verdict, for now, we will not go against the imperial court no matter what."
Qin Zhongshou said: "But I think we can't support the imperial court too openly. After all, we need the cooperation of various armies to fight Xixia."
Zhe Jizu, Zhong E and others also nodded slightly.
It is undeniable that the Zhe family is actually a warlord, because they are hereditary in Fuzhou and have very independent finances. This is also one of the reasons why the Zhe family army has 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 of not getting military merit. However, those generals in the army who fish in troubled waters will harm the interests of the family and rob them of their achievements.
The same is true for them.
"Please rest assured that after I return, I will definitely ask you clearly about the power of the imperial court."
After saying that, Zheng Xi asked Lu Shen again: "Brother Lu, what do you think of this?"
Lu Shen was startled, then looked around at everyone, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for coming to support Lu."
Immediately afterwards, he added: "But I do support the imperial court."
"Brother Lu, what do you say?"
Several friends were surprised.
Lu Shen sighed: "Although our dynasty uses civility to control military affairs, this is not always the case. Things like what E did, or even worse things, often happen, and we civil servants are often unable to do anything.
It is the source of this case. Then we can also rely on the imperial court to check and balance those generals on many matters."
A person on the other side said: "But the imperial court is obviously biased towards the generals."
Lu Shen said: "That will have to wait and see later."
"See later?"
"good!"
Lu Shen nodded and said: "What I am most dissatisfied with about this trial is not that the principles are biased in favor of cheating, but that he did not come up with them in advance. Later in the judgment, he introduced several principles from time to time, which is bending the law for personal gain."
!”
Zheng Xie nodded and said, "That's right! This is indeed a problem. Does Brother Lu have any solutions?"
Lu Shen said: "It's very simple. Let President Zhang announce the principles first, but you can't add them at will."
The most interesting thing about this lawsuit is that both Zhong Pei and Lu Shen felt that they were victims and felt very aggrieved.
Zhong E thought that I had made such a great contribution, but not only was I not rewarded, but I was also dismissed from my post, and was told every day that I would never finish it.
But Lu Shen thought that it was actually Zhonge who did not obey orders. I acted in accordance with the court's laws, but as a result, I was incapable of helping. Is there any royal law for this?
But this kind of thing was very common in the Song Dynasty. The emperor often judged rewards and punishments based on his own likes and dislikes.
Zhang Fei said that war is a continuation of politics, but the emperor chose to use civility to control military affairs mainly to gain imperial power. This difference in concept will lead to many problems in implementation.
Sometimes military generals break laws and disciplines, but as long as the emperor thinks he is loyal, he will not care about him.
In fact, the civil servants did not have much choice but to make trouble with the emperor, so it made people feel that these civil servants were targeting military generals every day.
It can be seen that things like this actually have many aspects. We can only analyze specific cases and cannot generalize.
Although Lu Shen was somewhat dissatisfied with this verdict, he felt that it was at least better than the emperor's judgment with his eyes closed.
As Zhang Fei said, at least this process is relatively fair, just and open.
This also led to these two groups of people being more inclined to the imperial court.
But they only represent some civil servants and military officers.
It can be seen from this that the emergence 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 Zhang San would favor the generals."
He Chunlin asked anxiously: "How do you say this?"
Cao Yidao: "Don't you understand this? Zhang San will use this case to win over the generals, and then deal with us. After this sentence, they will definitely be grateful to the imperial court. In this way, they will not want to do anything again."
It’s not that easy to go against the imperial court.”
"That's what happened."
Wei Yingfang also nodded slightly.
He was there to see with his own eyes how excited Zhonge and the others were at that time.
He Chunlin said anxiously: "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 water in the army is much muddier than ours."
Wei Yingfang was surprised and said: "You don't want to tell the truth, do you?"
Cao Yidao: "It's not a bad idea."
Wei Yingfang immediately said: "Of course not. We are on the cusp of the storm at this time. If something like this happens, they will definitely know that someone is up to something. If they take revenge and report to the imperial court, it will be like a snipe and a clam fighting.
The fisherman will profit."
Everyone’s butts are not clean!
This kind of behavior is a recipe for destruction.
He Chunlin also nodded and said: "Wei Tongpan is right, this cannot be done. We have common interests in these matters. We can report on it, and they can also report on it."
Cao Yi said with a smile: "There is no need for us to inform each other. We can use a small case to lure the imperial court to investigate. Then everyone's hatred will be concentrated in the imperial court. Not only will we not inform each other, but it will make us become more
Unity.”
Imperial Court.
"The officials have made arrangements. As long as the police department recruits people, there will be no financial problems."
The big dog whispered.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Have the officials said how many people they will recruit?"
The big dog said: "No more than thirty thousand people."
"No more than 30,000 people?"
Zhang Fei was startled and said: "It's very difficult to surpass this! If the police station expands to 30,000 people at once, they will be scared to death."
Big Dog said: "The official said that President Zhang can handle it by himself."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked: "About manpower?"
Dagou immediately handed over a piece of paper and said, "The official also said that President Zhang should keep an eye on Cao Yanei and the others."
Zhang Fei took the note and looked at it. There was nothing else, just a few names. He smiled bitterly and said: "I am really both a father and a mother."
In fact, there is another important reason for the expansion of the police station. Zhao Xu hopes to use the police station to rectify the Forbidden Army. In fact, the Song Dynasty is not willing to go to war with Xixia. On the one hand, finances, on the other hand, everyone knows that the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army is very worrying.
, you may not be able to defeat it.
Don't pretend that you will win if you rush over.
Many civil servants are cowardly, and they are also exported. They are the same as in the early Tang Dynasty. I am afraid that civil servants are more arrogant than military generals.
What to do if we lose, who will be responsible?
It is true that officials were not sent to rectify the situation before, but the result was that they only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
Zhao Xu had already made up his mind to fight and had to find a way, so he used the police station to try and start anew.
But you must be careful and make sure not to let anyone see it, otherwise, it will not end well.
Because this will arouse the fear of the commander-in-chief of the border army, your emperor will start a new attack. Is this aimed at Xixia or us, the northwest generals?
