The fifth thirty-ninth chapter iron shoulders morality
In those years of rampant copying, there were too many people to arrest. If everyone needed the emperor's personal order, then Zhu Di would not use it for anything. In order to avoid trouble and make it easier for the Jin Yiwei to do things, Zhu Di gave
Jinyiwei's driving post is blank, which means that Jinyiwei can arrest people first and then report them.
However, in order to supervise the Jin Yiwei, the Ming Dynasty's ancestral system was that before arresting someone, the driving certificate should be signed in the Criminal Division as a pre-arrest review and post-arrest review. But after Ji Gang got the emperor's acquiescence, he did not do anything.
The Criminal Division has always arrested people first and then locked them up. But what is the use of informing the Criminal Division after they have already been arrested? Even if the Criminal Division does not agree, can they still release the person? Therefore, the Criminal Division has been waiting for a long time.
During that time, the supervision of Jin Yiwei was only in name only.
However, Wang Xian has already shouted the slogan of returning power to the Criminal Division, stipulating that in the future, when arresting people in Beizhen Fusi, they must go through the Criminal Division to sign the driving notice. As soon as he took office, he put a tight ring on himself.
His behavior does seem silly, but now the power of issuing driving notices is in Ji Gang's hands. It is not Beizhen Fusi who has the final say on who to arrest, so there is no loss to Wang Xian, but he is
Pull the criminal department into the water to help yourself share the pressure from Ji Gang.
But the problem is that Wang Xian didn't say hello in advance, so the people in the Criminal Division would inevitably feel that they were being plotted, so he had to come in person and explain to these brainless guys.
When he entered the low courtyard of the Criminal Division, he found that eight officials wearing seventh-grade official uniforms were standing in the courtyard to greet him. Wang Xian couldn't help but be startled. He knew that these people must not be doing this because they were following people's influence.
Come and greet yourself, otherwise you will lose the face of a strong-willed official.
The eight people saluted him in unison. Wang Xian did not show off, but returned the salute with clasped fists: "Chief Yang and all of you are so polite."
The head of the criminal department clasped their fists at Yang Yan and said, "I am waiting to greet you, not for your official position, but to thank you for upholding the laws of the court."
"Haha..." Wang Xian couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile in his heart, there was no need to speak so bluntly. "Chief Yang, thank you."
"Your Excellency, please come in." Yang Yan smiled and asked Wang Xian to sit in the living room, and ordered tea. The two deputies were invited to sit with him during the event. For the officials of the Department of Science and Technology who always had their noses in the sky and despised the powerful as their duty.
, that is the kind of treatment that even the Lord Shangshu will not receive when he comes here.
Wang Xian didn't feel flattered at all, because he had already made it clear that what he respected was not him as a person, but his actions in upholding the court's laws. In recent years, among the six subjects, the Criminal Section has been the most undignified subject. There is no way
, who asked them to supervise Beizhen Fusi? Under the protection of Ji Gang, Beizhen Fusi made indiscriminate arrests, arbitrary sentences, and disregarded human lives, trampling on the criminal laws of the Ming Dynasty and leaving them full of holes. As a member of the Criminal Department
Officials, section chiefs and deputy section chiefs couldn't hold their heads high in front of their colleagues, but they were helpless... because they had no soldiers and no power. They relied on the court's laws and the previous impeachment. However, the emperor impeached them.
Zhang Yi left the target unanswered, which further fueled Ji Gang's arrogance. Governor Ji didn't care about them at all, and they also tried to do nothing.
Well, now, the newly appointed governor of Beizhen Fusi Town is actually a sworn enemy of Ji Gang. It is said that the first time he clicked Mao, he dared to threaten Ji Gang with a gun. He is a very ruthless character. What's even better is that as soon as he turned around
He even announced blatantly that future driving notices issued by Ji Gang must be signed by the Criminal Division before they can take effect, otherwise Beizhen Fusi will refuse to execute them.
Although they knew that Wang Xian was using them as a shield, the officers of the Criminal Division were not afraid of trouble at all. What they were afraid of was that they would not even be able to find trouble. This kind of frustration made these officers who shouldered the moral responsibility with iron shoulders.
They could suffocate themselves to death. So although Wang Xian was suspected of taking advantage of them, they were still very grateful to Wang Xian for giving them this opportunity and expressed their willingness to take on the responsibility of supervision and never let the power of Beizhen Fusi be abused.
Wang Xian had originally prepared a lot of rhetoric, but now it was all useless. He couldn't help but rub his nose and said with a smile: "With the guarantee from Section Chief Yang and everyone else, I finally have some confidence to touch this tiger's butt."
Already."
A few of them smiled at this, but rolled their eyes inwardly and said, "You pointed a blunderbuss at someone's head, and you said you didn't dare to touch a tiger's butt. You are so... modest. Wang Xian didn't know, but these things stink."
The reason why he had to come out to greet him was because he slapped Ji Gang hard in the face. Over the years, Governor Ji has become increasingly fierce, and his minions have become even more domineering, saying anything inappropriate.
They beat the imperial officials in the street; they also wantonly framed the officials who impeached them, and then quickly removed them. The officials of the Ministry of Education did not know how many times they had impeached Ji Gang and his disciples, but the emperor always ignored them, and the civil servants felt that
You can imagine how useless Wang Xian is. So Wang Xian slapped Governor Ji in the face naked this time, which actually made all the officials in the court feel bad. Everyone was sweating for him, but they were also grateful.
very.
"Please rest assured, Lord Governor," Yang Yan said sternly, "I promise you that as long as I am in the Criminal Division, and without the emperor's decree, Ji Gang will never get the lottery from the Criminal Division."
"Thank you, Section Chief Yang." Wang Xian had been waiting for his words, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. With someone with super strength to suppress the battle, he no longer had to worry about Ji Gang using his status as the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard to suppress him.
"Your Majesty, do you need us to write a book to explain?" As expected, Yang Yan was not afraid of trouble, and Yang Yan actually took the initiative to write a book for Wang Xian.
"Of course it should be." Wang Xian smiled lightly and said: "But the emperor already knows, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do this if you gave me a hundred courages."
Section Chief Yang and others looked like this. They had been guessing that Wang Xian was so boldly confronting Ji Gang. Did he get a hint from the emperor? Now that he said it, it turned out to be the case. Immediately, they couldn't control themselves.
They became excited because they thought of a possibility. Is this a signal that the emperor wants to deal with Ji Gang?
Wang Xian refused to go into details. In fact, he was worried because the emperor only said that Beizhen Fusi has been in chaos in recent years. You should go back and clean it up with me. This is really ambiguous. You
It can be understood as a tacit permission for him to let go, or it can be understood as a nonsense. Wang Xian went back and thought about it again, and felt that the emperor said this on purpose... Zhu Di could not have said it explicitly to confront Ji Gang, what happened in the temple?
Wouldn't it be a child's play? The emperor just wanted to see how courageous Wang Xian was and whether he dared to confront Ji Gang. Of course, if Wang Xian was killed by Ji Gang, the emperor would not care about him, because the emperor did not say anything at all
Let him confront Ji Gang...
"There is a case right now, and I have to touch the tiger's butt." Wang Xian changed the subject and said: "Please give Chief Yang and everyone some help in coming up with an idea."
"Please tell me." When most people hear this kind of thing, their first reaction is, "It's better to do less than to do more." However, several people involved in the matter were like bulls seeing the red cloth, and they suddenly became excited.
"That's it." Wang Xian started from Liu's complaint this morning and briefly recounted the case.
In fact, what use is there for him to talk about it? The case the year before last was so big that two seniors from the Criminal Division were demoted from the capital. Yang Yan and others who were in the Criminal Division at the time knew much more than Wang Xian.
.When they heard that Wang Xian was going to reiterate the case from that year, they were surprised at first. But even now, they still often think about reversing the case for the two seniors and several adults.
But as soon as he thought about it, the expressions of several people turned gloomy again. Yang Yan sighed and said: "Although we also look forward to retrialing the case, we really don't recommend that you use this case as a breakthrough." He paused and said: "The result of this case is
Shengyi. Qi Dazhu is dead, and there is no possibility of overturning this case." In fact, these people who are not afraid of it, don't want to overturn this case? However, they are well aware of the stakes, and they are worried that if the king
Because of this, Xian offended the emperor and was demoted from the position of governor. Where could they find a governor who dared to confront Ji Gang?
Moreover, Wang Xian was a civil servant, which was unique among military attachés. In the eyes of the civil servants, it was a wonderful idea to let him take charge of the Zhenfu Division. But we couldn't let it go like this.
"But the paper has been received." Wang Xian showed a wry smile and said, "I have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill."
"This..." Several guishizhong looked at each other. After a moment of silence, the right geishanzhong named Wang Zhi slowly opened his mouth and said: "Master Zhenfu, I want to impeach you."
"Oh?" Wang Xian was stunned and said, "I wonder what Brother Wang wants to impeach me for?"
"As usual, your Beizhen Fusi can only handle cases according to orders, and does not have the power to receive petitions alone." Wang Zhi looked at Wang Xiandao with firm eyes: "So I will impeach you for exceeding your authority and order you to transfer the case to the Criminal Division.
, the lower officials will report to the emperor before making a decision."
"Brother Wang..." Wang Xian's eyes grew hot. In fact, the purpose of his visit this time, besides informing him about the signature, was to see if the Criminal Division could help him solve this case. Because
He was really not sure what the consequences would be if he reported the case directly to the emperor. Although he had achieved his goal without any effort at this moment, Wang Xian was not at all grateful in his heart, but felt ashamed. Although he was also working hard, but
Compared with these efforts to uphold national laws, there are still too many selfish distractions.
"This kind of thing should be done by me, the section chief." At this time, Yang Yan waved his hand and smiled at Wang Zhi: "There is no reason for you to be in the limelight." Another Zuo Shizhong also rushed to do it himself, and the last three
After making a lot of money, they actually decided to play together. This made Wang Xian sigh with emotion. It turns out that in this world, besides Zhou Xin and Zhou Ningtai, there are really loyal ministers who dare to offend and remonstrate directly.
Having this idea shows that Wang Zhenfu is not a scholar, at least not a pure scholar. He has no idea at all that scholars value fame over profit...
