"You're still in a good idea."

Just when the people on the royal street outside, under the poisonous smoke of the riot bomb and the stick of the street tiger, Yang Qing was already meeting Zhang Huangyan with Princess Kunxing.

Of course, the princess continued to be an ornament.

Zhang Huangyan bravely faced him.

In fact, Zhang Huangyan was not very old at this time, he was not yet thirty years old in his twenties, and this lonely minister who faced an irreparable situation after the fall of the two capitals, but still resisted for 20 years, and finally refused to kneel to die after being captured, and sat on the punishment of beheading, should be regarded as a truly respectable person. At least he is much stronger than Huang Zongxi and Mao Qiling, and even Gu Yanwu and others can't compare with him.

He did it unyielding to the death.

"I will cancel Jin Yiwei's right to convict, but the right of interrogation must be retained, Daming is not just Jin Yiwei's family, the vast majority of yamen and even such as the household department have the right to participate in the interrogation, and sometimes they can be interrogated alone, and there is nothing to change about Jinyiwei for simple interrogation. But the right to convict can only belong to one family, this one should be Dali Temple, and the others, including the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, do not have the right to convict the prisoner, only Dali Temple can convict. The judicial system of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be reformed, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will report full-time, the Dali Temple will try and convict, and the Criminal Department will manage the prison, which is the most reasonable. Except for the military judiciary department within the army, which independently enforces the internal laws of the army, all cases involving civilians must be handed over to Dali Temple for trial for conviction and submitted to the prison state for approval. ”

Yang Qing said.

All yamen in the Ming Dynasty had the right to participate in the interrogation.

Even the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry can participate in the interrogation of the three legal divisions after the emperor gives an order, especially the household department and the military department, and can even be interrogated separately from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Such examples are not uncommon.

There is no norm in the system in the era of monarchy, theoretically what the emperor says is what, and the ministers can work together to limit the imperial power with the net of the system, but if the imperial power is determined to ignore the system, then there is nothing the minister can do. The word monarch and minister have made the relationship between the two sides clear, the monarch has the right to decide everything, he can change the law, he can also change the system, the minister can only accept it, unless they rebel, otherwise it is useless after all......

"And we can also sign a covenant, just like the last temporary covenant, using this thing to clarify this system, no one, whether it is the prison country or the emperor, can change it."

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"Does the Marquis of Zhongyong really mean this?"

Zhang Huangyan said in surprise.

This is undoubtedly the dream of the ministers, and there is such a thing that can be used to justifiably restrain the monarchy. Of course, he also knew that this depended on the situation, after all, the Emperor Ming's ancestral teachings were about to be ignored, but something is better than nothing, and the temporary covenant law did make a good start.

"But ......"

Yang Qing glanced at him with a smile.

"We can't just change the court, we have to change even the locality, the court is Dali Temple, the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, and the local government also has three divisions! The court can't have the final say on the monarch alone, and the local chief official can't have the final say, so the local chief official's judicial power must be abolished, and all cases can be managed by a separate court! ”

Yang Qing said.

"Huh?!"

Zhang Huangyan shut up.

He doesn't care, he's just a lifter, but those magistrates don't do it! How can you make a fortune without the right to judge? The income of local officials was originally a big cut because of the new policy, and although Yang Qing increased the subsidy, it was still not as expensive as he could collect the fire as he wanted. After the establishment of the Imperial Bank, the tax revenue was deposited directly in the local banks, and the household department withdrew money in the banks, which also gave the magistrates one less way to make money. Now point to making money when trying the case, if a separate court is set up, those magistrates are still a fart, do they really rely on the court to make a living? Although Yang Qing increased the subsidy, the imperial court could indeed ensure that the officials lived a good life.

But......

Is it just to be an official for the sake of profit?

It's a joke, which official is going to go to Yulu? Who didn't go for ten years of Qing Governor's Mansion and 100,000 snowflakes of silver? It can be said that this kind of reform is absolutely not done by local officials!

"Zhongyong Hou, let's talk about Jinyiwei!"

Zhang Huangyan said embarrassedly.

"You see, I can reform, even to perfection, but do those officials dare to follow suit? Since even they don't dare to follow the change, what qualifications do they have to ask Jinyiwei to reform themselves? ”

Yang Qing said.

He is certainly well aware of this.

So until now, he has not mentioned the establishment of a court decentralization in the local area, it is impossible for those local officials to accept it, and it must be completed by his layout, and the Huangzhuang will be implemented in all counties, and it can only be implemented when the local government can really control the locality, but now it can be used to block the mouths of these ministers who want the rule of law, if you want the rule of law, we will really rule the law, but if you don't want to do it yourself, then don't talk nonsense.

"Marquis Zhongyong, why did the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division arrest those lifters?"

As the two were talking, Xie Xuelong walked in angrily and asked.

Yang Qing glanced at him indifferently.

"Loyal and brave marquis, those people are just trying to make a statement to the court, there are books on the bus since ancient times, and I haven't heard of expulsors, not to mention the soldiers and horses of the five cities with duqi sticks? If you have the right not to kneel when you enter the yamen, why do you add it with a rope? ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guowei also walked in with a gloomy face and asked.

They've actually been watching the hilarity.

They didn't think about letting Huang Zongxi and these people really subdue, they knew that Yang Qing would definitely arrest people, they just let these people make trouble to show that the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had worked hard to save the arrested righteous soldiers, and at the same time show Yang Qing's arrogance and rudeness to confirm his image. Now this image can really be confirmed, but the problem is that he is too cruel! You must know that the vast majority of these nearly 1,000 prisoners are from Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and the vast majority of them are their reserve forces, so if it is a duke bomb and a big stick and a trampling, there will definitely be dead people, even if there are no dead people, there will be no fewer injured.

Now their reserves can be said to have suffered heavy losses! Not to mention, you can also seize this handle to get rid of fame.

They really didn't expect Yang Qing to be so cunning.

Let the street tiger in plainclothes provoke a brawl first, and then let the street tiger arrest people by disturbing the peace, you kind of thief shouting to catch thieves is too slippery, and when did you get that riot bomb? You can't pour it with cold water in the summer, you actually make a du gas to smoke, your IQ is quite high!

Yang Qing still didn't speak.

This guy looked at Zhang Guowei and Xie Xuelong indifferently, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms and put it on the table as if nothing happened, and pushed it to the two of them without saying a word.

Xie Xuelong looked at him suspiciously, then picked up the piece of paper, his face changed instantly when he first glanced at it, Zhang Guowei next to him also took it from his hand in confusion and then glanced at it, his face changed and he slapped it on the table without hesitation and shouted angrily: This traitor is so innocent that he is not punished!

Well, this is Chen Jinshi's confession.

Pity the time when the loyal and righteous people outside were doing their best to save him, Chen Jinshi, who had been locked up in the Iron Woman for a day, had already confessed tremblingly. He really didn't dare to enter that ghost thing again, a day and a night without a trace of light, no sound at all, only long nails penetrating his body imprisoned him......

He's going crazy when he comes out!

According to his confession, Ning Guofu's rebellion against the party was completely masterminded by Qian Qianyi, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Shiqi, the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Gu Xichou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Xie Xuelong, the secretary of the Criminal Department. Including Huang Zongxi, the Donglin Party and the Fushe Society combined, and even some members of several societies, totaled more than 300 incumbent and opposition officials and scholars who were accomplices. The purpose is to eradicate all the imperial villages in one fell swoop, and then raise troops to attack Nanjing, abolish the princess Kunxing and the Longxing Emperor of Xi'an, and welcome King Gui into the great treasure, and by the way, burn Yang Qing to ashes with fire.

According to this confession, the Donglin Party and the Fushe can basically be purged.

It's embarrassing.

"I also think that this thief is not punishable!"

Yang Qing agreed.

"Xie Shangshu, I still have a copy here, which is the punishment formulated for this group of rebels, and I am going to hand it over to the prison state for approval, but in order to reflect justice and avoid people always saying that Jinyi Wei is a trick, we are not enough for the rule of law and the like, so it is better to have Xie Shangshu sign a name, which can be regarded as a joint performance with me?"

Immediately afterwards, he took out a prepared recital and said with a serious face.

Xie Xuelong looked at him sadly.

To sign or not to sign?

If he doesn't sign it, Yang Qing will definitely make a fuss with this confession, although Xie Xuelong also knows that Yang Qing will not really arrest all of them, which will cause a civil war, but there is no problem in catching some of them. But even if you catch a part, it will also cause them a heavy blow, and these on the list are all elites from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he can deal a heavy blow by casually grabbing one or twenty. But if he signs it, it will become the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei jointly convict Chen Jinshi's group, then he will become one of the so-called traitors, and then just like Shi Kefa was kicked out of the ranks of the sages, he will definitely be kicked out of the ranks of the sages.

His hands even trembled a little.

"Ah, I think we should take a closer look at this confession, this Huang Zongxi, Mao Qiling, and a few people who have ventured into Xinjiang, I remember that Dongchang reported their disobedient words!"

Yang Qing said.

As he spoke, he picked up the confession again, and looked at it pretendedly.

Xie Xuelong looked at him sadly and angrily.

Then the sixty-year-old man, with his trembling hand, picked up a pen next to him, hesitated, sighed in silence, and signed his name on Yang Qing's recital.

"Ah, maybe I'm mistaken, how can a celebrity like them talk nonsense? This confession will be reviewed by the Criminal Department! If this Chen rebel clings indiscriminately, wouldn't it be a disaster to the innocent? It would be more appropriate for the Criminal Department to review it. ”

Yang Qing said with satisfaction as he stuffed the confession into his hand.
