Malu Palace, Parliamentary Hall. This is where the Cabinet Secretary deals with government affairs. Due to the establishment of the Crystal Palace, all the offices of the six ministries and departments were moved, leaving only the Cabinet, the Marshal's Office, the Department of Affairs, the Department of National Security, the Privy Council and other important departments. It is only 100 meters away from the south study where Li Chengji usually handles government affairs, and it can be reached directly through a long corridor.

Right now, Ali Bula is presiding over this week's morning meeting. According to Li Chengji's instructions, every week each department should draw up a work plan for the week on Monday. Starting with the cabinet, all the way to the local village officials such as villages and towns. From top to bottom, without exception. This also makes it easier for the officials to track the progress of completion according to the schedule made by the officials.

And on the cabinet side, Lee Seungji is a must-see every week. Therefore, the five cabinet ministers are more cautious about formulating the work plan. Zhang Timing and Hua Razimi sat on the left and right sides of Ali Bura. A little farther away are Flatt and Shi Mo Min'an.

For the convenience of their deliberations, they used round tables. It's just that Ali Bura's first and auxiliary seats are a little higher, and everything else is no different. But this also reflects the difference in status! Originally, they were a little unaccustomed to it at first, but now they have accepted it and enjoyed it.

Because their seats are padded, with jade pillows on the inside and springs and cotton on the outside. Once the bamboo skin is wrapped again, it becomes a soft and cool cushion. And you can also stuff ice cubes inside, which makes you feel like sitting in cold water in summer.

At present, there are three major events in the imperial court, one is the implementation of yuan banknotes; the second is the conviction of court officials suspected of treason; The third is the war in Gansu Province and the war in the West Persian Military Region. From the point of view of priority, the war in Gansu and the war in the West Persian military area are undoubtedly the most important!

But in fact, although these two battles are serious, they are not urgent. In particular, the war in West Persia was ranked second only to the province of Gansu. It is also from the establishment of Dayuan to the present, and there has been no defeat. Therefore, the whole court maintained an optimistic attitude towards it.

In addition, the war is actually arranged by the marshal's government, and the cabinet is more about money, food and diplomatic cooperation. There are not many things that can really be intervened. Therefore, the focus of Ali Bura's morning meeting this week was on the first two things.

Among them, the punishment of officials suspected of treason is the most urgent! Because the arrest of the hoe traitor division continues, the people continue to panic. Every day, the "Dayuan Daily" publishes a list of those who have been arrested, making many people afraid that they will be implicated.

So the cabinet needs to clarify a group of sinners and announce to all the people that these people are the ones who should be killed. So as to dispel the panic of the people and let them know that Dayuan's arrest and conviction were evidenced.

"The Criminal Department sent a list of convictions yesterday, you can take a look. This is all after the reconsideration, and if there is no objection, it will be submitted to the Holy Seal today! Ali Bura took out a book of folds and handed it to Zhang Timing, asking him to read it once and pass it on to others.

All of them were the first batch of officials and tycoons suspected of treason. In officialdom and shopping malls, there is a certain influence. And the official position is not low, and the worst is also the fifth grade. As for enemy spies like Buzhijid, they are not on the list.

After the circulation, Ali Bula waited for the crowd to speak. Zhang Timing is an old minister, took a sip of tea and said: "The meaning of the saint is strict and serious, look at the list, Yelu Diwan also executes it well." I think that's it, no need to reconsider. Otherwise, the gang of people in the criminal department will think that we are deliberately making things difficult for them. ”。

This list of convictions has been reviewed five times, and this is the sixth. Zhang Timing saw that there was nothing wrong with it, and in the spirit of hello, me, and everyone, he didn't want to toss anymore.

Hua Razimi was transferred from the Criminal Department to the Cabinet, and he also had a thorough understanding of the laws of the Great Yuan. He continued: "According to the Yuan Law, there is nothing wrong with the punishment of the Criminal Department, and I have no objection. ”。 He never said much, but every time he spoke, it was always the point. After working together for so long, everyone is used to his temperament.

"I have no objection!" Flatt didn't seem to want to say much.

Seeing this, Shi Mo Min'an said loudly: "The criminal department has reconsidered the punishment several times, and now there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that there are a lot of relatives in exile this time, and the criminal department has to prepare for the repatriation along the way. In addition, children under the age of three are exempt from punishment according to the Yuan Law. But the grandson of Di Wan, the former Ministry of Works, is also among the capital crimes, is it against the law? ”。

When Hassan was hiding in Jarah's house, he also drugged his family in order to control him. It's just that he has been unaware all along, and Hassan hasn't torn his face with Jarah. So that this matter has been kept in the dark and not exposed. But after Jarrah committed suicide and the spies in the house were wiped out. One by one, Jarah's family members were poisoned, and only one and a half years old was left to survive because he was not poisoned. Therefore, around the disposal of this child, the officials of the Criminal Department are inevitably a little embarrassed.

Flatt and Jarrah had a close personal relationship, so they naturally wanted to keep the young son. But the crime committed by Jalah is too great, and he really can't do it for the guilty minister in his capacity as a subordinate of his brother. In addition, the Mongol rebellion of high-ranking Persian officials has already had a negative impact on other Persian officials. For example, the Ministry of Officials' Examination and Merit Department has recently impeached several cases of maladministration in the provinces of East Persia and Gur. The subordinate officials are all of Persian origin, and it seems that for a long time, the life of Persian officials has not been so good.

As a matter of fact, the rumors from the Sixth Cabinet Department are preparing for the Western Expedition, so it is necessary to ensure local tranquility and stability. The rectification of local maladministration is only a matter of official business, and no other factors are involved. But Flatt thought, I'm afraid it's not without the reason for Jarah's treason.

Therefore, although he wanted to intercede, he did not dare to say much. At this moment, Shi Mo Min'an helped him say what was in his heart, making him look at the other party gratefully.

Hua Ruzimi shook his head and said loudly: "Shi Mo Di Wan's words are different! Treason with the enemy is a felony. According to the previous laws of Khorasan, the nine tribes should have been punished, but the saint was sympathetic to the people's feelings and could not bear the blood flowing into a river, so it was changed to the three tribes. The Ministry of Punishment sentenced Jarah's grandson to death, in accordance with the law. ”。

This is actually the legal loophole of the Yuan Law. Because according to the crime of treason with the enemy, the grandson of Jalah deserves to die, but according to the "Dayuan Child Protection Law", children under the age of three are exempt from any punishment. There is no legal rule on who to listen to in the event of a conflict between the two. So that creates controversy.

"Khora Midiwan is familiar with the law, has he forgotten the "Dayuan Child Protection Law"?" , Shi Mo Min'an asked rhetorically. According to the different places of origin, the cabinet auxiliary ministers can be divided into the Liao faction, the Persian faction, the Puhua faction (Yuancong faction), and the Khorasan faction. Zhang Timing and Shi Mo Min'an both belonged to the Liao faction, and Hua Razimi was the Puhua faction. Because it is the starting place of Da Yuan - Puhua, it is also known as the Yuan Congpai. The Khorasan faction was Ali Bura, and the Persians were Flat. In addition to the fact that Dayuan had more officials in the old Liao, the factional component of the Liao faction was more obvious. The other factions are relatively casual.

Khora Zimi knew that Lee Seung-ji did not want to see the cabinet in harmony, unity and friendship. So he has always been in competition with Zhang Timing's Liao faction. The Persian faction represented by Frath and Jarrah had been very close to the Liao faction before, so they were also regarded as opponents by Khorazmi. This is also one of the reasons why the Yuancong faction occupies a large proportion of the criminal department and implements the crimes of Jarrah and others.
