This chapter is only 2,600 words long, and it can be divided into sections, so Wu Feng doesn’t intentionally mince the word count, so I’ll just give you the extra 600 words! Well, it’s not too much to ask for some flowers or something?
----------Dividing line----------Gu Heng didn't pay attention to Shen Cheng's eyes, and just continued: "Meng Yi is from a Luzhou family, and there are many senior officials in the family.
Duo is from a famous family in Luzhou. This person was the fifth among the top two Jinshi in the third year of Longqing. He is talented and good-looking. He has been a famous filial son in Luzhou since he was a child. He can be said to have both ability and political integrity. After high school, Ren Hanlin
After serving as editor-in-chief of the academy for one year, he was appointed as the Prime Minister of Yousi of Honglu Temple, the sixth rank. After serving for two years, he was promoted to Sicheng of the Sixth Rank Shangbaosi. After serving for two years, he was promoted to Shaoqing, the fifth rank Shangbaosi.
Three years later, he was promoted to the fifth rank and was sent to the post of Magistrate of Hengyang Prefecture. After four years of office, he was transferred back to the capital and appointed as the fifth rank of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Censor; one year later, he was promoted to the fourth rank, General Affairs Secretary Si Qi Huang Youtongzheng; three years later, he was promoted to the third rank from his original post by His Majesty the Emperor for his meritorious service; one year later, he was promoted to General Affairs Secretary, Si Tongzhengshi, and was re-elected
So far, this person first served as an official in the central government, and then he was transferred to other places, and then transferred to the central government. He was even personally commended by His Majesty, which shows his ability, so it is justifiable for him to be sent to other places again."
Shen Cheng gave a noncommittal "Oh" and asked: "If Meng Yi leaves office, who will be responsible for the general affairs envoy?"
Gu Heng sneered in his heart, "Do you think I will give up such an important position as the General Affairs Secretary? Although the governor of Jiangsu is good, it would be too expensive to exchange for a General Affairs Secretary from the General Affairs Department!"
Then he said: "I believe that Jiang Wei, the minister of Dali Temple, comes from a famous family, is knowledgeable and well-known, and has worked hard for more than 20 years. He is qualified to take up the post of general political envoy in the general affairs envoy."
Shen Cheng rolled his eyes and thought to himself, is there room for the minister of Dali Temple? Well, Dali Temple... He couldn't help but hesitate slightly.
This Dali Temple is actually equivalent to the highest court in later generations. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the person in charge of prison cases was called Tingwei. From the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was called Dali Temple. Since then, all dynasties have followed this name of Qin. In the Han Dynasty, Tingwei was in charge of the prisons and reviewed cases in various places.
Serious case in prison
The original purpose of setting up the Dali Temple was because local officials had too much judicial power and could convict death row prisoners on their own, resulting in many unjust, false and erroneous cases. In order to consolidate the prisons, the Dali Temple was built as a review organ.
The main responsibility of the Dali Temple in the Wei Dynasty was to review the world's criminal names. If there were any discrepancies in the crimes, they would be refuted according to the law;
It is called the Three Law Divisions. The Ministry of Punishment receives punishment names from all over the world. It is inspected by the Procuratorate. Dali Temple refutes cases. Without the approval of Dali Temple, all divisions are not allowed to have prisons and send Dali Temple to hear cases. In the early stage, torture instruments and prisons were set up. Later, they were only read.
Case files, major cases where all prisoners are not present at the temple will be jointly tried by the three judicial departments. The Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be the main ones in the initial trial, and the Dali Temple will be the main party in the review.
Therefore, the judicial organs of the Wei Dynasty were collectively called the "Three Law Divisions", namely the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The Rehabilitation Metropolitan Procuratorate can not only supervise the judicial organs, but also has the power to "report major matters and make decisions on minor matters" to a certain extent. The separation of powers and mutual restraint between the "three judicial departments" is reflected to a certain extent.
However, since the two chief officials of the Imperial Procuratorate, the Zuodu Imperial Envoy and the Right Imperial Envoy, were almost always filled by the emperor as officials from poor families, several powerful officials had no choice but to focus on the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
Wrong cases have the right to refute and rehabilitate, and all aristocratic families attach great importance to it. Even if many children of aristocratic families who have committed crimes are sentenced, they often have their crimes reduced or even exempted through Dali Temple. In the past few years, the post of Minister of Dali Temple fell into the hands of the Gu family, so that
The Gu family took advantage of this power to bestow favors on a wealthy family member, making him have a good reputation among the wealthy family.
Old Prime Minister Shen couldn't help but feel that if he couldn't get the governor and general envoy of Jiangsu, the minister of Dali Temple would be a good candidate.
"Then who will take over as the Minister of Dali Temple?" Old Prime Minister Shen asked.
He originally thought that Gu Heng should be polite at this time, saying that he had no candidate for the time being, and asked the left prime minister to choose someone; or simply recommended Long You, but unexpectedly Gu Heng actually said: "Gu Huai, the minister of Taichang Temple, can take the position."
When Shen Cheng heard this, he was immediately furious: Okay, all the good things have gone to your Gu family. You are not even willing to give me the title of Minister of Dali Temple. You actually recommended your idiot brother Gu Huai to be the Minister of Dali Temple! You really think that you are the minister of Dali Temple.
Then two hundred and five princes are great? Can they rebel? He is just a prince, not an emperor! Since you don’t take my Shen family seriously, then don’t blame me, the Shen family, for being determined to stay with you here.
He is competing for the position of governor of Jiangsu!
No wonder Shen Cheng was so angry that he wanted to replace the minister of Taichang Temple with the governor of Jiangsu? What is Taichang Temple?
Taichang Temple is the highest administrative organ in charge of rituals and music. It was called Fengchang in the Qin Dynasty. In the sixth year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (151 BC), it was renamed Taichang (from the "Book of Han? Baiguan Gongqing Biao"). After the Han Dynasty, it was renamed Taichang Temple.
"Book of Sui? Hundred Officials": "Taichang is responsible for group worship in mausoleums, temples, etiquette, music, rituals, astronomy, numbers, and clothing." The officials in charge of Taichang are generally the same in the past dynasties and are called Taichang Qing Taichang.
The officials under the Qing who are closely related to music are Dr. Taichang, Xielu Duwei (school captain), Ling Cheng of the Taiyue Department, as well as the Ling Cheng of the Advocacy Department established after the Han Dynasty, and the Ling Cheng of the Qing Commercial Department (department)
Officials related to rituals, music, and rituals such as Ling or Cheng were called Dr. Taichang, or Taile Jijiu. Officials who were also involved in music systems and calendar calculations were called Dr. Taile, depending on their status, and were called Xielu Duwei (Xiaowei).
Among them, the Xielu Commandery such as Lüzhonglangjiang, Xielulang, Yalebu, Zhongluling, Zhonglulang, etc., Zhongluling is often Taileling - to put it simply, Taichang Temple is in charge of entertainment.
If we were to put it in the world before Yunzheng traveled over, managing entertainment would be a real pleasure. However, the current Wei Dynasty is not a society with a developed tertiary industry like that of later generations. Managing entertainment these days is not as lucrative as it was in later generations.
There are not so many beauties in later generations, not to mention the pitiful power. Which official who has reached the third rank is willing to do this? Even Zhan Shifu, the official responsible for the education of the prince and prince, is much better than this Taichang Temple
After all, people often deal with princes and princes. If they meet Zhan Shi, who is good at both being a person and an official, he will probably be able to become the future emperor. Then can the good days in the future be far away?
Although Shen Cheng was angry in his heart, after all, he had been the prime minister for decades, and it was not difficult to show his emotions and anger, so he just said calmly: "I understand what Prime Minister Gu means, I still recommend Long You
As the governor of Jiangsu, how can the cabinet decide? It is better to vote now."
Shen Cheng said, not giving Gu Heng a chance to speak at all, and raised his eyelids: "If you agree with Meng Yi to be the governor of Jiangsu, please raise your hands."
Gu Heng's eyes flashed with anger, and then he looked indifferent and gently raised his right hand.
Then, his expression immediately changed - only Du Fan raised his hand!
Needless to say, Shen Cheng would definitely not agree with the four plus three pattern. The three wealthy men also had expressionless faces and showed no signs of raising their hands. Qin Ting was drinking tribute tea leisurely, as if he had not heard anything. Gu Heng's heart suddenly felt cold.
There was no joy on Shen Cheng's face. He just looked at Qin Ting, Zhang Yanyu, Fang Qianran and Yu Zhongle, and asked, "Then the four adults mean to support Long You as governor of Jiangsu?"
Qin Ting smiled: "Yes, Qin agrees."
Zhang Yanyu, Fang Qianran, and Yu Zhongle looked at each other, and Fang Qianran said: "We and the three of us will not support anyone."
In fact, the three of them want to recommend an official from a poor family to be the governor of Jiangsu. However, they also know that despite the fierce fighting between the Shen family and the Gu family, as long as the three of them express their intention to recommend an official from a poor family, the four Shen and Qin families will be considered. They will definitely oppose it together, and then four to three, they will cancel it, so they simply don’t recommend it. Let’s see how these four companies deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Shen Cheng turned out to be an old prime minister. He seemed to have known for a long time that these three people would definitely abstain from voting. He did not think much about it and said: "If you ministers have no other candidates, then the cabinet might as well draw up two votes, one for the other." Zhang was recommended by me, Long You, and Zhang was recommended by Prime Minister Gu, Meng Yi. Who will be the governor of Jiangsu should be left to His Majesty Qiangang to decide!"
