Qi Ning's eyes were sharp, and before he could speak, he heard a voice say, "Lord Daxi's words are wrong!" ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked, but saw that the person who spoke was Wei Yujiang, who had just been promoted by Qi Ning to the chief judge of the Autumn Trial Division, only to see Wei Yujiang's expression solemn, and he stepped forward and said: "Lord Daxi, the imperial court has six yamen, each of which coordinates with each other, but each has its own responsibilities. According to the laws of the imperial court, if an official from each of the six ministries violates the criminal law, the chief officials of each ministry will ask the emperor for punishment, and the other ministries shall not interfere beyond their authority. ”

When Wei Yujiang said this, many people changed slightly, thinking that this surnamed Wei was really bold, didn't these words clearly show his duty Da Xichong should not let Zhen Guogong be involved in the criminal department, and if he offended Da Xichong and Zhen Guogong at once.

Da Xichong is the left waiter of the Criminal Department, and he is also a high-ranking official, and he is Wei Yujiang's superior, and Zhen Guogong is the first assistant of the dynasty, Wei Yujiang is now the judge of the autumn trial, and it is really easy for these two people to get rid of Wei Yujiang.

Sure enough, Da Xichong's face sank, and he said coldly: "Wei Yujiang, is there a place for you to talk here?" Get down! ”

"Humble ...... Just speak according to the laws of the court. Wei Yujiang said respectfully: "Lord Daxi, if the lord of the ministry wants to dismiss the official, he should make a compromise to the emperor, and there is no need to consult with the prince of Zhenguo." ”

"The surname is Wei, you are so bold." The group of officials kneeling behind Da Xi Chong heard that Qi Ning was going to remove them from their official positions, and they were all distracted, and when Da Xi Chong came forward to speak for them, one by one they suddenly came to the spirit, and their confidence was also formed, and a fat official actually raised his hand and pointed at Wei Yujiang and shouted: "Zhenguo Gong is the first emperor to entrust the minister, as the first assistant of the court, you dare to blaspheme Zhenguo Gong here, Zhenguo Gong co-ordinates the emperor to deal with the affairs of the court and the criminal department, how can Zhen Guogong not ask?" ”

As soon as this person spoke, the others were even more arrogant, and someone followed closely and said: "Wei Yujiang, you have just been promoted, and you are showing off your power here, hehe, it is really a villain." ”

"What, are you in a hurry to make meritorious service?" Another person sneered: "The officials of the Yamen of the Criminal Department are all here, you are a bullshit-like thing, what qualifications do you have to speak here?" ”

For a while, everyone pointed the finger at Wei Yujiang, and his words became more and more difficult to hear.

Qi Ning watched coldly, and did not speak immediately, he knew that these people were nothing more than pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and they were aiming at Wei Yujiang on the bright side, but the real spearhead was pointing at himself, and the confidence of these people seemed to be from Da Xichong, but in fact it was from Ma Lan of Zhenguo Company.

There is no doubt that Da Xichong has obviously taken refuge in Sima Lan's door, and after the change in the imperial tomb, Sima Lan immediately gathered Da Xichong to become the power of the Sima family, and naturally prepared to make a breakthrough with this artificiality, so that the power of the Sima family quickly infiltrated into the yamen of the Ministry of Taoism.

Although Qian Raoshun secretly communicated with the Sima family before the change of the imperial tomb, but at that time, the criminal department was still within the sphere of influence of the king of Huainan, although the Sima family bought Qian Raoshun, but never really got involved in the yamen of the criminal department, after the fall of the king of Huainan, the Sima family of course could not let go of the opportunity to infiltrate the power into the criminal department.

Qi Ning knows very well that in the yamen of the Criminal Department, a force led by Da Xichong has become the lackey of the Sima family, and today this group of people brought out Sima Lan is to make Qi Ning jealous of the Sima family and dare not act rashly, and if he can't handle it well today and can't establish absolute authority in the Criminal Department, then it will not be easy for him to control the Criminal Department in the future.

Qi Ning didn't speak, those officials really thought that they had brought out the Sima family to suppress Qi Ning, and their voices were even louder, and even someone had already shouted insults at Wei Yujiang, Wei Yujiang's face was cold, but he still stood upright.

Da Xichong raised a hand, and everyone's voices calmed down, Da Xichong's eyes were not without a look of pride, and he said loudly: "Hou Ye, if you hastily dismiss these officials, causing the Criminal Department to be unable to handle errands normally, and even making the case of King Huainan unable to continue to investigate thoroughly, then the court will investigate it, will we be responsible, or Hou Ye will be responsible?" Please also think twice. ”

Qi Ning smiled slightly, and said: "Zhenguo Gong is the first assistant, assisting the government, if the imperial court has a will to come down and needs the criminal department to handle an errand, of course the criminal department should discuss state affairs with Zhenguo Gong." ”

Wei Yujiang's face was slightly gloomy, even Chu Mingwei frowned slightly, but Da Xichong smiled and said: "Hou Ye's ability to be good is admirable." ”

Other officials also thought that Qi Ning's words were a compromise with the power of the Sima family, and they had different thoughts, some people felt that this was taken for granted, the Sima family was in power, and the Jinyi Qi family naturally did not dare to really fight with the Sima family to the end, otherwise they were afraid that it would be the next Huainan king, and some people were disappointed in their hearts, and secretly thought that the Jinyi Hou Ye was really resolute, who knew that Da Xi Chong would carry the Sima family out, and the little Hou Ye would instantly soften.

There are even more people who are puzzled, secretly thinking that when the imperial tomb changes, Jinyi Hou and the Sima family will be-for-tat, and on the day of the emperor's wedding, the Sima family is even more because of the loss of face in Jinyihou, and the court has faintly formed a-for-tat situation between the Sima family and the Jinyi Qi family.

"Wei Yujiang, you come to tell this official that the Criminal Department is on an errand, can the other five yamen interfere?" Qi Ning turned his gaze to Wei Yujiang, who had a solemn expression.

Wei Yujiang said respectfully: "My lord, the Criminal Department has its own regulations of the Criminal Department, don't say that the other five yamen, no yamen has the right to interfere with the criminal department's errands." ”

"So can Shousuke interfere?" Qi Ning asked directly.

Wei Yujiang said: "Shoufu can assist the emperor in formulating national policies, if there is a state affair involving the Criminal Department, the imperial court will issue a decree and order the Criminal Department to do it, but how to do it is done by the chief official of the Criminal Department is responsible for the specific implementation." ”

"In other words, the chief officer of the Criminal Department can go to the first assistant to discuss, or he can do his own thing, isn't that the truth?"

Wei Yujiang Zhengse said: "Exactly." Since Emperor Taizong, the decree of the imperial court has issued an order to the yamen of all ministries, and each yamen has done its duty to do a good job of the affairs assigned by the imperial court. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that if there was really a figure other than the emperor who could point fingers at the six yamen, the first one who could not tolerate it was the emperor himself, and said with a smile: "As soon as you say this, the official will understand." He looked at Da Xichong and said, "Lord Da Xi, you are the left servant of the Criminal Department, but it turns out that after so many years, you haven't even been able to understand what the Yamen of the Criminal Department should do, I am really curious why you are in this position." ”

Da Xichong's face turned cold, and Qi Ning continued: "The first assistant is to assist the emperor in formulating national policies, and then the emperor will issue a decree, but it is not the first assistant who directly leads the six departments. Today, in accordance with the law of the Criminal Department, the official dismissed the official who left his post without permission, and you asked the official to go to the first assistant to discuss, but I don't know where you put the town and the country? Do you think that the Zhenguo Gong wants to interfere in the six ministries and take over the power? As he said the last sentence, his voice was unusually cold.

Da Xichong's face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized that he might have really made a big mistake.

He brought out Sima Lan because Sima Lan's power in the DPRK was too strong, and he wanted to use Sima Lan's strength to fight against Qi Ning, but at this time, he realized that if Sima Lan could really arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of the Criminal Department, it would indeed be a violation of authority.

Shoufu can interfere in the affairs of the Criminal Department without authorization, and he can also interfere in the affairs of the other six ministries without authorization, once he has such power, it is equivalent to the emperor without doubt.

Although Sima Lan is extremely powerful, of course the Sima family does not want to hear someone say that the Sima family is a powerful minister, and there are some things that can be done, but they must not be broken.

Qi Ning's understatement made Da Xichong realize that the situation was not right, and the officials who were shouting loudly were not stupid, and at this time they also realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately died down, lowered their heads one by one, sweated on their foreheads, and even breathed lightly.

"Da Xichong, you have a sentence on the left and a Zhenguo Gong on the right, if the old man of Zhenguo knows that you are here under his banner, I don't know what he will think." Qi Ning sighed and said, "Today, the official ordered everyone to be there, although he wanted to get to know everyone, but the most important thing is to try a case with everyone." ”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Qi Ning's gourd, and Da Xichong was also puzzled.

Qi Ning bent down and took out a thick file from under the table, put it on the table, patted it gently, and said: "This case is really important, I originally wanted to try it privately, but the identity of the person involved is too sensitive, if it can't be tried clearly in front of everyone, I'm afraid some people will say that the trial of this official is unfair, so today the officials of the Yamen of the Criminal Department are here, if everyone feels that there is a problem with the trial of this official, they can raise it in public, and they must be fair and impartial." ”

The officials looked at each other, but some people were already starting to feel apprehensive.

Qi Ning just took out a file from under the table and threw it to Chu Mingwei for trial, but it turned out that it was the case of Ma Ta pregnant woman, Cao Sen was involved in it, and he was even scared out in front of everyone.

At present, this little marquis has taken out another file, and it is much thicker than Cao Sen's file, the case is obviously bigger, and there is more evidence, but I don't know who will get bad luck next?

Some people think that this little marquis is the new official who takes office, and it seems that he is fully prepared, but this little marquis is really good at the sky, and he can collect so much evidence of crimes.

"This case should be clear to many people in the Criminal Department." Qi Ning said while looking through the file: "Two years ago, there was a horrific case in Nanling, Meng Chu, the captain of Pingyang Mansion in Nanping, killed the people and took the merits, and was later sentenced to death. He glanced at Chu Mingwei and said, "Master Chu, you should remember this, right?" ”

Qi Ning's voice was calm and calm, but the corners of Da Xichong's eyes twitched a few times, and his eyes crossed with different colors.
