"It's just that under the order of Zhonglang's carriage, two new Langwei who were added to the ban took a nap while staying in the guard."
Half an hour later, in the room where Zhonglang Huling and his subordinates rested, two of Heifu's subordinates were explaining to Heifu the reason for Meng Yi's anger just now.
One of them is named Li Liang, a native of Longxi County. He is a male official and has a mature appearance. The other is Dong Yi (yi), a native of Xia Yang, Nei Shi. He is also a male official. He is tall and thick, and is a typical Guanzhong martial artist.
Lang Wei was asked not to sleep too much when he was asked to sleep. He had to be called upon at any time. What's more, it was indeed a serious sin to doze off while sleeping in the guard.
After being reprimanded by Meng Yi, the two young Langwei were directly expelled from Langwei. When they returned home in despair, they would definitely be beaten up by their father and brother at home, because they had missed a bright future and even delayed their career.
The career of the whole family.
"So as a man in the palace, you can't make any small mistakes..." Dong Yi said with emotion.
Li Liang responded: "Even if you don't become a man, you can't do anything wrong if you are an official of Qin."
Li Liang, a native of Longxi, was less than thirty years old. He was Li Xin's younger brother. This emotion was considered to be from the bottom of his heart. He felt that he had made a mistake after saying it.
Heifu just kept their words in his heart and said, "I see, I thought it was because Meng Zhonglang enforced the law too harshly."
Dong Yi said: "General Zhonglang is indeed strict in enforcing the law. Originally, the young Lang Wei, who was 17 or 18 years old, had committed a crime for the first time. It was enough to reprimand him or give him a little severe punishment. Unexpectedly, he was directly expelled..."
Heifu took the opportunity and asked: "I have heard that before Mengjun became Zhonglang General, he tried a case under the king's order and sentenced Zhongche Mansion to death?"
Li Liang was thinking more, and when he heard about this, he kept silent.
Dong Yi had a simpler mind and had no scruples. He smiled and said: "Zhonglang Hu Ling is right. General Meng Zhonglang was previously serving as a prisoner in Tingwei, specializing in hearing cases. A few years ago, the CRRC Ling ordered prisoners
After being convicted, Your Majesty asked Lord Meng to review the case. Lord Meng did not dare to bend the law and sentenced Zhongche Mansion Ling to death and removed him from his eunuch status. Finally, His Majesty Qin Shihuang, who was loyal to Zhongche Mansion Ling and worked conscientiously for many years, pardoned him...
"
After hearing that this was indeed the case, Heifu shook his head secretly.
The first thing that made him famous was a false accusation lawsuit. In the end, he was cleared of his grievances with a happy verdict and received the reward he deserved.
Therefore, Heifu has a good impression of Qin's judicial system from beginning to end. In addition, he has been an official for many years and is very familiar with Qin's laws. Therefore, he knows that Qin attaches great importance to legal procedures, from county jailers to county jailers, and then to court officials.
In government offices, judges at all levels have basically handled cases in accordance with the law, rather than relying on their own morals and human feelings.
But when he came to the center of the empire, he discovered that this seemingly strict and seamless Qin law system actually had a big natural hole.
The King of Qin, or the Emperor, is absolutely above the law.
Although the kings of Qin in the past, as well as the current First Emperor, all understood that the Qin Law was the foundation for the founding of the Qin State and its unification of the world, almost every generation of Qin kings had more or less used the "pardon power" unique to the monarch.
During the Second Battle of Chu, Qin Mo's Cheng Shang, who worked with Hei Fu, told him that during the reign of King Hui of Qin, Qin Mo's wealthy son Tun lived in Xianyang, and his son was arrested for murdering someone.
King Hui relied heavily on Qin Mo at that time. Considering that he was older and had only one son, he planned to pardon his son. However, Qin Mo's elder brother believed that regardless of Qin law or Mohist rules, murder was a capital crime, and it would be bad to rashly pardon him.
According to the rules, he asked the King of Qin to execute his son according to law.
During the reign of King Zhao of Qin, Qin general Zheng Anping surrendered to Zhao during the Battle of Handan. Logically speaking, Fan Ju, who recommended him as a general, should be executed immediately. However, King Zhao of Qin ordered that anyone who dared to speak out about Zheng Anping would be killed throughout the country, and in turn increased the number of attacks against him.
Fan Ju's reward made him feel at ease. It was not until Fan Ju's other benefactor Wang Ji was also executed for the crime of interfering with the princes. The evidence was conclusive and the public opinion was surging, so King Qin Zhao had no choice but to grant Fan Ju's death.
Now, Meng Yi, who was in charge of the trial, had sentenced Zhao Gao to death, but the emperor once again used the power of pardon to directly absolve Zhao Gao of his sins, and still allowed him to work in the CRRC Mansion and continue to be regarded as a confidant...
This is quite normal. After all, from the beginning of legislation, Qin laws were built around the centralization of monarchy, and the final decision-making power must be in the hands of the monarch. Nowadays, when encountering important death penalty cases, such as court officials who committed crimes and deserved death,
, the Tingwei even went to the emperor for review. Only if the emperor ticked the box, the death penalty would be established.
As a result, some people who were treated differently by the emperor had the privilege of not being blamed for their mistakes.
"But Zhao Gao was pardoned. This person should not be pardoned..." Heifu thought to himself.
Hei Fu was very afraid of Zhao Gao.
Not only what Zhao Gao did in history, from the first meeting, Hei Fu only showed a little murderous intention, but was discovered by Zhao Gao, who had been a driver for the King of Qin for many years and was good at observing people's words, and scared Hei Fu into a cold sweat.
After entering Xianyang, the King of Qin ordered his ministers to discuss the title of emperor. Heifu thought that he had the correct answer and the flattery was just right, so he would definitely come out on top. Who would have thought that Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, also guessed the emperor correctly.
After much thought, in the end, one of them was "in my heart" and the other was "quite in line with my wishes", and they were evenly matched. Heifu was promoted by the emperor, and Zhao Gao was also promoted to one rank.
After knowing this, Hei Fu was horrified.
"I relied on cheating, and what did Zhao Gao rely on? Observing people's emotions? Or guessing Qin Shihuang's thoughts?"
He was even more afraid of Zhao Gao. He was on duty and had to stay by his side when Qin Shihuang was traveling. This overlapped with the authority of the CRRC Prefecture, so he would inevitably have to deal with Zhao Gao in the future.
Facing this person, Heifu found that he had no confidence at all now.
He was now certain that Zhao Gao was not a eunuch, he had a wife, a daughter, and a son-in-law, and he was also a master of the family who was "strong enough to stop a galloping horse". Hei Fu might not be as powerful as him.
In addition, Zhao Gao has been with Qin Shihuang for nearly twenty years. He is both a traitor and a loyal person, and has won the emperor's trust. He can even use the power of pardon for him. Even Meng Yi can't sentence him to death, let alone Heifu, a newcomer.
"It's best to curb the murderous intention and keep things peaceful for the time being..." Heifu made up his mind not to provoke this powerful character for the time being.
"However, this time the Emperor Yi took away his limelight. Will Zhao Gao regard me as his enemy?"
Heifu had to be on guard. Based on the principle that the enemy of his enemy is his friend, he decided that he must have a good relationship with his boss Meng Yi.
But Meng Yi is strict with his subordinates and himself, so he is not easy to deal with. And currently, it seems that Wang Li, the commander of the Zhonglang Cavalry, is quite dissatisfied with Meng Yi, and the Wang family is not easy to get along with either.
Hidden Danger Zhao Gao, his boss Meng Yi, his colleague Wang Li, and Hei Fu suddenly discovered that the water in Zhangtai Palace was really not shallow.
"It's useless to think too much. The only way to survive in the confinement is to consolidate the one-third of an acre of land in your hands first, and then follow the emperor's footsteps closely!"
He looked at the arrogant Dong Yi. Dong Yi was easy to deal with and had a simpler mind. He was from Xia Yang, and he was from the same hometown as Zhang Han. The two had served as Lang Wei together. There was only a distance between him and Hei Fu.
We established a relationship and quickly became warm.
Li Liang is different. This person seems to respect Hei Fu, but in fact he has many thoughts.
The next two hundred men and guards are all young masters of Guanzhong. They all have high titles. They can't compare to the three thousand Nanjun disciples brought out by Hei Fu. It is not an easy task to convince them.
…
Just as Heifu was adapting to his new position, the first royal meeting of King Qin after he proclaimed himself emperor also kicked off...
