Chapter 789: Propagating the Dharma

"Ahh

Sun Shaozong was sitting alone in the study, just unfolding the draft on the desk, when he suddenly felt an itchy nostril, turned his head to the empty place, and sneezed loudly.

Who's worried about themselves anymore?

Is it the princess of Beijing, the king of Beijing, who left not long ago, or Aunt Xue, who lost herself by mistake last night?

Sun Shaozong rubbed his nose and thought about it for a while, and then he focused his attention on the draft on the table.

From the second day of joining Dali Temple, he pondered how to break the situation, although when the case was investigated later, this prestige had been established, but the word "breakthrough" was far from being done.

What he wants to break through is not the situation of his isolation in Dali Temple, but the embarrassing status quo of the entire Dali Temple in the Three Law Divisions.

In fact, the crux of Dali Temple is nothing more than the word "disconnection between the top and bottom".

Although it is called the General Constitution of the Constitution of the Framework of the World, the current Dali Temple is actually a yamen that 'waits for the need', and has almost no capital to control the local government, so it can only wait for the other party to take the initiative to hand over difficult cases.

However, the local government, in order to protect its own political achievements and official reputation, is extremely resistant to this.

So this back and forth, Dali Temple is like a wanderer in the wind, there is almost no foundation at all.

After losing its practical significance, the status of Dali Temple in the three law divisions and even the entire court is naturally declining.

Now it has even faintly become a vassal of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and most of the cases handled throughout the year are transferred by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they only need to be sentenced according to the other party's will.

The more this is the case, the more the officials below who are close to the people do not take Dali Temple seriously, so a vicious circle is further formed.

If we want to reverse this situation, it is undoubtedly necessary to re-establish the foundation of Dali Temple, and then take back some of the rights from the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In fact, it is not difficult to find from looking through the file that when Wei Yi first took office, he also thought about reviving the situation.

At that time, in the first year of his administration, he successively sought three wills, and asked officials from various localities to take the initiative to report difficult and miscellaneous cases, and sent a working group to investigate and find out the bottom of the matter.

But in the end, all these actions ended in nothing.

The reason is, first, that Dali Temple really lacks the means to control local officials; Second, there are really few elite soldiers in this Dali Temple, and when they get to the place, their eyes are black, not only did they not find anything, but they made a lot of jokes.

It's not a strong order to catch Wei Yi again, it's just that you just want the new official to take office three fires.

Seeing that the intention to take the initiative to report the case failed to get a response from the local officials, and the working group sent out caused a lot of criticism, Wei Yi immediately shrank his eggs.

Since then, the prestige of Dali Temple has further declined, which in turn has led to today's predicament.

If we carefully analyze the reasons for Wei Yi's failure at the beginning, the biggest problem is that he completely pinned his hopes on the imperial power, but did not dare to touch the interests of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department.

As a result, this top-down trend is only a few ups and downs, and it is still a few streets away from the sandstorm, let alone a change of heaven.

However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Wei Yi.

Not to mention the Criminal Department, in the existing system, the Criminal Department is in a supervisory position, with the declining status quo of Dali Temple, it is basically wishful thinking to want to seize power from the Criminal Department.

Of course, if the situation reverses in the future and the criminal department deprives some of the rights, it is completely impossible.

As for the Metropolitan Procuratorate......

Although there is no direct supervision authority over Dali Temple, the people themselves are supervising the discipline of hundreds of officials, and the deterrent effect on civil and military officials can be more than 100 times stronger than the Dali Temple, which has no real power in the 'general constitution of the world's discipline and discipline', but has no real power inside.

Therefore, it is even more difficult to seize power from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Especially these people are just pens, fighting and eating, if there is really a ruckus in front of the gong and the drum, there is no entry point to gain a firm foothold, how easy is it to seize power?

Therefore, when Sun Shaozong took office, he also had a headache for a while.

Fortunately, although he is not from the court and procuratorate system, he still has some understanding of this set, and finally borrowed some ideas from it:

Since it is not easy to seize power, and it is not very effective to exert pressure with the help of imperial power, it is simply necessary to start a new stove and make a system that can logically take root in the local area and conform to the core functions and powers of Dali Temple.

The core of this system is also four words: popularize the law and go to the countryside!

In addition to inspecting the difficult and miscellaneous cases reported by various places, or being ordered by the emperor to deal with the Qin case, Dali Temple also has the responsibility of compiling and publicizing the law.

The previous stall is now in charge of Sun Shaozong, but it overlaps with the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to a considerable extent.

The latter two parts are logically in charge of the right Shaoqing Li Wenshan.

However, over the years, the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple has only been responsible for compiling the law, but he has rarely been involved in publicity.

Not only that, according to what Sun Shaozong saw and heard when he was in charge of the middle school, the local government was also passive and slacking off on the work of popularizing the law.

Because the popular argument nowadays is that the people can make it happen, but they can't make it known.

As long as the law is in the hands of the officials, it is enough, and as for those ordinary people, the more laws they know, the more likely they are to have troublesome lawsuits.

In fact, this kind of speech and thinking has not been completely eradicated by later generations.

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong didn't point out that it could be completely eliminated, as long as he could use this reason to find another way in the functions and powers of the Three Law Divisions, it would be enough.

However, it is certainly not feasible to propose that 'law popularization go to the countryside' out of thin air – at least it is necessary to find some evidence to prove that it is necessary to do so, and not to ask for trouble.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Shaozong asked Liu Xianglian and others to check the records of people gathering to fight in recent years.

He didn't think much of it when he was an official in the capital before.

After going south to Huguang, I found that the people fought for water, land, and even people, and the group fights caused by them could be said to be one after another.

This is because the local government has insufficient control, and the second is because most of the people only know the clan elders and do not know the laws of the imperial court, and once there is a conflict, they often solve it by violence.

Only those who are not strong and have been oppressed by the powerful will think of the government.

However, it is often difficult for the magistrate to judge clearly about such things as the mother-in-law saying that the mother-in-law is justified and the public saying that the public is reasonable, and even if they intervene, they will often be regarded as favoring one party, and even if they make rulings, it is difficult to take effect.

At that time, Sun Shaozong felt that he should think of ways to increase the control of the government and try to avoid this kind of thing, otherwise the local clan forces will definitely have less and less respect for the government as time goes by.

When the local situation is completely out of control, it is estimated that the Great Zhou Dynasty will come to an end.

Now that he has joined Dali Temple, he just combines the two things, and tries to curb the intensifying private fighting in the countryside in the way of law popularization and publicity; At the same time, with the help of popularizing the law, they planted forces in the local area, and even seized the opportunity to seize some of the rights of domination.

Of course, the details of this must not be so simple, and they must be carefully considered before they can be discussed in the court.

In short, in the end, as long as the two things can be done the same, even if Sun Shaozong is not an official in Dali Temple in vain.
