While the commotion in the Diet was in full swing, Hatakeyama Takamasa quietly came to Hanoi after Yu Qiu Shang arrived. Like the merchants, he was wary of Yu Qiuping and refused to go to Maple Mountain Castle.
He wanted to set up the court in Wakae Castle. Yu Qiuping once tried to persuade Hatakeyama Takamasa to set up the court in Maple Leaf Mountain Castle on the grounds that Wakae Castle was the front line and could not guarantee safety - so that Yu Qiu Shang would not have to leave home. This was naturally
Hatakeyama Takamasa refused.
After Amano Keitoku returned from Sakai Town, he immediately started handover activities of this legal system with Hatakeyama Takamasa. Amano Keitoku handed over the roster and bureaucratic system of all employees in the legal system in the territory to Hatakeyama Takamasa.
He also provided guidance to Hatakeyama Takamasa and his group of retainers of the Hatakeyama family. Amano Keitoku spent three days introducing how the entire legal system works to Takamasa Hatakeyama and his group of retainers of the Hatakeyama family. Although those retainers from well-born families were very
A country bumpkin like Amano Keitoku was very indifferent, but Hatakeyama Takamasa showed great importance and seriousness, so they had no choice but to listen along.
However, it is another matter to understand what is understood, but to actually operate it is another matter. Hatakeyama Takamasa appointed one of his trusted retainers as the judge of a county in each of the several counties controlled by the Uqiu family.
Within the territory of the Yuqiu family, a three-level system has been formed, namely the grassroots court - the county court - and the Supreme Court of Hatakeyama Takamasa.
Although the grassroots courts still handle cases in an orderly manner, the county judges who were parachuted in are somewhat unskilled in judging cases. Under this system, only those who think that the grassroots courts’ judgments of cases are incorrect will choose to appeal to the Supreme Court.
County Court. Therefore, the judges of the County Court originally did not have many cases to handle. However, these appealed cases are often highly controversial cases; the appellants are mostly businessmen in the Kinki area who can afford the litigation costs. There is one
The county judge took advantage of his famous family background and did not want to argue with the lowly businessmen who came to litigate the case. He decided the case directly based on his own common sense and guesswork. This angered many businessmen - their Congress worked hard to enact laws just to protect
of their own power. As a result, these county judges skipped the law directly and made conclusions without even looking at the code.
As a result, the angry businessmen appealed again, asking Hatakeyama Takamasa of the Supreme Court to make a ruling. Hatakeyama Takamasa has always attached great importance to his reputation. He was very angry when his subordinates brought up such a scandal just a few days after taking office.
Qing. After he figured out the whole story, he unceremoniously dismissed the offending subordinate and drove him back from the rich Hanoi to the barren Kii to serve as the general. This frightened the other retainers of the Hatakeyama family.
I no longer dare to judge randomly based on my own temper. After a period of time, a strange scene will appear in the county judge's court: the confused plaintiff and defendant look at each other, and the judge sitting in the middle is eagerly reading the code.
Find the basis for judging the case.
Although this incident can be called a scandal, Hatakeyama Takamasa's way of dealing with it won him a lot of favor and also allowed the nascent court to gain prestige. And the subsequent case even made people including
Many people, including the samurai of the Uaki family, changed their previous rejection of Hatakeyama Takamasa.
The cause of the matter was that Congress was drafting a bill that would allow Tsukiwabei's baggage trains to legally carry supplies for merchants. Yu Qiuping himself did not have much objection to this case, because the merchants would give Tsukiwabei corresponding remuneration. However,
However, Hatakeyama Takamasa firmly disagreed with the passage of this bill and declared it unconstitutional - Tokiwabi is a member of the military and is affiliated with the Yuqiu family. He cannot directly have anything to do with Congress, which is contrary to the principles of the Constitution.
The Congress was unwilling to suffer a dumb loss, so Imai Munehisa sent someone to bribe Hatakeyama Takamasa privately to let him pass the bill. Anyway, unlike Amano Keitoku, he is not the loyal dog of the Yuqiu family, so there is no reason to insist on it!
However, to the surprise of the Congress, Hatakeyama Takamasa seemed to have a firmer position than Amano Keitoku. He sent the envoys sent by the Congress to the meeting on the spot.
The reporter angrily reprimanded and said loudly, "The world is corrupted because of you undisciplined businessmen." Then, he directly disclosed the matter and used the power of the court to investigate those who paid bribes in Congress.
illegal conduct.
Imai Muneku was horrified when he heard this. He was afraid that the matter would be exposed and he would be found out. He hurriedly spent a lot of money to bribe a small businessman who was related to his shop and asked him to go out and support the package. After investigation, the small businessman was directly dismissed.
He lost his qualifications as a member of parliament and was imprisoned for trying to bribe public officials.
This turmoil made the businessmen in the National Assembly very upset and immediately became more honest. They couldn't understand why Hatakeyama Takamasa was so rigid and stubborn. They, astute businessmen, were calculating their interests all the time. Under the three-party restriction
Under the circumstances, the two weak parties - Congress and the courts should help each other and jointly fight Yu Qiupei. Under the expectations of Congress, if Hatakeyama Takamasa is a mature businessman, he will give the green light to their various laws.
Restrict the power of the Yuqiu family.
However, Hatakeyama Takamasa seems to act strictly in accordance with the law and justice. Is he really so ignorant of current affairs?
They did not know that Hatakeyama Takamasa was such a fool who did not understand current affairs. If not, Yu Qiuping would not have chosen him to be the judge.
·
In a blink of an eye, it was already February of the twelfth year of Yonglu (1569). Amano Jingtoku finally finished all the handover work and came to report to Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping looked at the white hair on the temples of his 40-year-old veteran.
With his hair and weathered face, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Konbei, I have worked hard for you these days, but I am exhausted." Yu Qiuping sighed, motioned Amano Keide to sit down, and at the same time whispered: "It just so happened that the court affairs were handed over to His Highness Hatakeyama.
, you can also take some time off and rest for a while."
However, Amano Keide did not sit down obediently, but stared at Yu Qiuping with a very serious expression.
"Your Highness, this is not the time to rest. Because of Your Highness's decision, the Yuqiu family is already on the cliff, and we cannot afford to slack off at all."
"How can I say this? Isn't everything settled now?" Yu Qiuping disagreed with Amano Jingde's words.
"On the side of the couch, there is room for others to sleep peacefully." Amano Jingde seemed very dissatisfied with Yu Qiuping's laxity, and said in a deep voice: "Hasn't His Highness woke up from the things that have happened continuously during this period?"
"Are you referring to businessmen paying bribes?" Yu Qiuping asked in surprise after thinking for a moment.
"Your Highness is clear." Amano Keide snorted coldly, "Even if His Highness gave them so much power and established a complete system, those despicable people will never change their nature. In order to make profits, they don't care about the law at all.
and loyalty. How can His Highness safely hand over power to these businessmen?"
"Today they can bribe other businessmen to win seats, they can bribe Hatakeyama Takamasa to pass the law, and they regard the authority and laws of the Yuqiu family as trivial. Such villains may become complicit and betrayed by the Miyoshi family in the future.
Are you going to let them go?” Amano Kyōtoku paused, then spoke sharply again: “There are also those people of the Hatakeyama family, they all have intricate relationships with the wealthy families of Hanoi. Now let them go deep into every place.
If a county takes the opportunity to collude with the local wealthy family and raise the flag of rebellion, how will His Highness plan to deal with it? There is also this vast Hanoi spring, which we have recently conquered. It is unclear how many detailed works left by the Mihaoshi family are lurking on it.
,How can your Highness just ignore it?"
"You are right about that." Yu Qiuping nodded with some fear, "After all, they are not our own. For the safety of Yu Qiu's family, they must be monitored. I will ask Kihei's Military Intelligence Department to send special ninjas
Take care of them and prevent them from collaborating with the enemy, passing on information or causing civil strife."
"The Military Intelligence Department is useless in this situation." However, Amano Keitoku seemed to have thought it through long ago and poured cold water on Yu Qiuping mercilessly. "The Military Intelligence Department has always been responsible for external investigations. It is a
Their every move is particularly conspicuous in an agency in the open. What's more, as the Military Intelligence Department is part of the Yuqiu family, their budget allocations are also in the hands of Congress. If those businessmen realize that the Military Intelligence Department is monitoring them, they will cut it.
Appropriations for the Military Intelligence Division. And Hatakeyama Takamasa is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. In less than a month, he has begun to use his investigative powers. The deployment of the Military Intelligence Division are all members of the Yuqiu family. In theory, they are all
The subject of the court's investigation. If someone is monitoring the court, Hatakeyama Takamasa can investigate his illegal behavior and accuse him of plotting against the court. How will His Highness deal with it at that time?"
"We're in big trouble." After hearing this, Yu Qiuping sighed with some annoyance. Amano Jingtoku's words hit the nail on the head and hit Yu Qiuping's weakness. What he said was right. The Military Intelligence Department has always been responsible for external affairs.
Under the current system of intelligence collection, there is no way to monitor the inside. "Then Kwon Bingwei, do you have any good ideas?"
"Yes, it just depends on whether His Highness is willing to use it." Amano Jingde gave a decisive answer in the affirmative, and then made a gesture to the guards at the door. After asking Yu Qiuping's opinion, they immediately retreated quickly.
go out.
"What do you want to do?" Yu Qiuping saw Amano Keide's posture and immediately realized that Amano Keide was going to use dark means again.
"If I remember correctly, the money of the Mitsubishi Caravan was not added to the national treasury, but was controlled by His Highness, right?" Amano Keide leaned over, leaned close to Yu Qiuping's ear, and spoke with a very slow and gloomy voice.
He spoke in a low voice, "I beg your Highness for permission to use this money, which does not need to be reviewed by Congress, to build a new secret force. This force has nothing to do with the Yuqiu family and is only responsible to Your Highness alone.
Restricted by Congress and the courts. I will select the personnel among them from reliable ninjas in the Military Intelligence Department to ensure absolute loyalty."
"And this unit has only one mission - to monitor the dangers inside the Yuqiu family in the dark. It is a spy organization targeting our own people. Once something is discovered, it can bypass the complicated procedures and hand it over directly.
It is up to His Highness to judge and handle the matter."
"Please allow your highness."
Yu Qiuping realized that what Amano Keitoku was describing was a special agent force similar to the KGB of the former Soviet Union, specializing in internal cleaning and security maintenance.
Yu Qiuping also remembered that whenever such a force appears in a country, what may follow may be mutual suspicion and white terror among his own people, as well as countless unjust, false and wrongful convictions and executions.
Such an organization means the breakdown of team trust, and also means that the original harmonious atmosphere is gone forever.
He instinctively rejected such an evil dark organization, but he also understood that the current situation of the Yuqiu family required a villain to monitor the internal affairs for him and eliminate possible dangers.
Miyoshi Yixian's words suddenly came to mind.
·
In every family that wants to do great things, there must be a person who does dirty things and brings infamy for the family.
·
"Have you thought about the name of the organization?" Yu Qiuping did not answer Amano Jingde's question, but asked directly in a deep voice. After Amano Jingde heard Yu Qiuping's question, he suddenly nodded slightly with some relief. His Highness
, after all, he is no longer the bad guy he was ten years ago. Even though his heart is toward the light, even though he will still block everything for the lives of tens of thousands of people, he is no longer naive, but understands the importance of darkness.
And my darkness exists for his light.
"crow."
