"It's stupid, what the hell do these people have in their heads, are they useless weeds?" After reading the documents brought by Li Jin, Hui Shiyang immediately made such a comment on Zuo Guangxian and other people involved in the case.

As one of the five tiger generals of Donglin who is as famous as Zuo Guangdou, Hui Shiyang is morally completely unable to die without saving Zuo Guang, in fact, he feels that if Li Jin doesn't tell him and directly stabs this matter in front of the emperor, he can also pretend to turn a blind eye.

After Qian Qianyi formed the New Donglin Party, the Donglin Party gradually ceased to be a political group, but former Donglin leaders such as Hui Shiyang and Han Yi did not join the New Donglin Party. Among them, they do not want to live under the late generation of Qian Qianyi, and there is also Qian Qianyi's jealousy of these Donglin leaders, afraid that the new Donglin Party he formed will make wedding clothes for others.

However, even though the political group of the Donglin Party is in the past, the interpersonal relationship between these former Donglin Party members still exists. Even if they no longer have a unified political philosophy, they can't watch the families of former party members fall into the pit and not say a word. If this spreads, won't it ruin your reputation?

Hui Shiyang, who is sixty-five years old, looks only in his early fifties because of his good maintenance, and his quick thinking does not look like an old man at all. He had already reacted when he read those documents just now, no matter what Li Jin wanted to do, he couldn't be dragged into this troubled water by a fool who couldn't see the situation clearly.

As Yuan Keli's successor, he must keep the territory of the Criminal Department for the Donglin Party, even if the Donglin Party is now in name only, but he can't give up the territory of the Criminal Department to those political groups that oppose the Donglin Party. In that case, I am afraid that the Donglin Party will really disappear completely from the DPRK, and there will be no place to speak.

After putting down the documents, Hui Shiyang also sorted out his thoughts by the way, and asked Li Jin who was standing in front of him with an unchanged expression: "Can you guarantee that these materials and the confessions of witnesses are facts, and there is no evidence of temptation and fabrication?" ”

Li Jin maintained a respectful posture, looked at Hui Shiyang's chin, and replied unhurriedly: "Maybe someone is hiding something here, but the lower officials can guarantee that these documents have definitely not undergone any processing and can withstand verification." If the lower officials really did anything, then these documents will not be the first to be put in front of you. ”

Hui Shiyang stretched out his hand and touched the documents, looked at the stack of documents and muttered for a while, before continuing: "Although this official is the secretary of the Criminal Department, His Majesty directly inquired about the case of clearing the disaster relief grain payment. You can send it directly to His Majesty, so isn't there a smaller chance of leaking secrets? ”

Li Jin raised his head slightly, looked at the tip of the other party's nose and said: "If even Hui Shangshu in the Criminal Department is not reliable, then even if I send it directly to the palace, it will be useless, even if Your Majesty wants to deal with this case, you still have to listen to Shangshu's opinion first, and then the official will not be a villain in vain?"

In addition, Xia Guan felt that it was not a good thing for the case to be stabbed in front of His Majesty. If possible, it should still be dealt with within the Criminal Department. That's why the lower officials will send the documents to the adults as soon as possible, hoping that the case can be closed in the hands of the adults. ”

Hui Shiyang stared at Li Jin's eyes for a long time, and saw that the other party's eyes had no intention of dodging, so he asked seriously, "Why do you want to do this?" If this case is handed over to this official to be resolved, this official may not be able to severely punish Zuo Guangxian and other officials as you said, and if not, he will just let them resign after saying that they are sick. In this way, you won't be able to earn any merit..."

"Or did you guess the official's disposition and prepare to sue me in front of His Majesty afterwards?" Hui Shiyang seemed to think of something, and couldn't help interrupting his words, and asked Li Jin tentatively.

Li Jin bowed his head to him and pleaded guilty, and said: "How dare the lower officials design an adult like this, the lower officials are just worried about the reputation of my criminal department procuratorate. If the incident of Deputy Procurator General Zuo shielding corrupt officials spreads, who will recognize the fairness of the procuratorate's handling of cases in the future?

If in the future, these powerful and wealthy people go around looking for people to intercede or bribe officials in order to get away with their crimes, will the procuratorate still have the confidence to resist these illegal acts?

What's more, now that almost all of the three law divisions have been merged into the name of the Criminal Department, for the once independent Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple and other yamen, they may not be happy to see this result. If these people take advantage of this case to make trouble and ask the three legal divisions to restore the old state of affairs and supervise and balance each other, wouldn't our criminal department become a joke?

Compared with the interests of the organization, the little benefit of the subordinate is too insignificant. Therefore, Xia Guan put these original documents in front of the adult, hoping that the adult could save the face of the criminal department and the law. ”

Hui Shiyang's eyelids jumped for a long time, and he still knew a lot about Li Jin, a stunned person who offended people everywhere. But after not seeing each other for a year, he suddenly felt that the other party was a little strange. This was put a year ago, and the other party estimated that he had already publicized this matter, and then directly brought the document to the emperor to complain, where would he think of the interests of the organization and the face of the law.

"Three days, be impressed." Inexplicably, such a thought suddenly flashed in Hui Shiyang's heart. "These young people around Your Majesty are really getting more and more difficult to deal with, but why are we, the descendants of the Donglin Party, not as good as a crab. In addition to looking for flowers and asking willows and talking nonsense, it is to stab people all day long. ”

Thinking chaotically in his heart, what he said to Li Jin was words of praise and encouragement. After exchanging a few words with Li Jin with a spring breeze on his face, Hui Shiyang sent him back, saying that he would handle this matter properly.

Not long after Li Jin walked out of the hall door, Hui Shiyang restrained his smile, rattled the bell to summon the secretary of the office next door, and coldly instructed him: "Go and call the left deputy chief prosecutor of the procuratorate, and say that this official wants to discuss with him the budget of the new building of the procuratorate..."

After Li Jin returned from Hui Shiyang's side, he left the matter behind him and buried himself in his work. With the separation of executive and judicial powers, the work of the Penal Department has increased dramatically, rather than decreasing. For this reason, some officials of the Criminal Department have begun to propose that the current system of third trials should be revised, and that other cases should be changed to two trials, except for cases of human life and conspiracy against others, so as to reduce the workload of the High Procuratorate and the High Court.

As a senior prosecutor of the High Procuratorate, Li Jin had just returned to the Criminal Department to report, and he had already sent several cases asking him to review, which made him a little helpless for a while. He once thought that maybe this was Hui Shangshu's solution to bother him, but after Zuo Guang first resigned due to physical discomfort three days later, he finally let down his vigilance.

Just as Li Jin was waiting for Hui Shiyang to deal with the results of the other personnel one by one, one day in mid-February, Hui Shiyang called him and went to Wuying Hall together.

Li Jin, who was holding a large pile of documents, was a little curious, why it was Wuying Hall and not Xiyuan Jingshe. With the improvement of the buildings and facilities of the Xiyuan Retreat, the emperor rarely went to the Wuying Hall to work, and it has almost become the world of the army and navy staff.

However, Li Jin still suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask Hui Shiyang anything. Compared with January, February in the capital has a bit of an early spring atmosphere, at least the snow on the roofs and canopy is almost invisible.

When the steward eunuch of Wuying Hall saw Hui Shiyang coming, he took the two of them to the map room in the side hall. After more than ten years of uninterrupted surveying, the Ming Dynasty map in this map room is already quite fine, and the sand table made in proportion on the ground is even more lifelike. When Li Jin saw it for the first time, he still felt extremely shocked.

Walking on this sand table, even if it is the Northwest Desert that he has never been to, he can still have an immersive feeling, and if he walks on the spot, I am afraid he will not completely lose his direction.

However, Hui Shiyang stopped outside the sand table and waited for the emperor to finish his conversation with the others. Li Jin handed over the document in his hand to the little eunuch on the side, and quietly looked at the group of people standing in the middle of the sand table, and found that standing next to the emperor, in addition to Wen Tiren, Liu Jingting and other ministers, there were actually two people from the Western Regions with deep noses, big beards, and small flower hats.

Just as Li Jin was observing the appearance of the two people from the Western Regions, Zhu Youzhen, who was standing near Shapanluntai City, was also holding a wooden pole and said to the middle-aged people from the Western Regions: "Abdul Laha Khan, thank you for your explanation, so that I finally have a deeper impression of Southern Xinjiang. By the way, your Chinese pronunciation is very clear, and it seems that in the past few years in Beijing, you have not wasted your time.

I think that being able to learn Chinese and communicate with me in a down-to-earth manner can show your devotion to the Ming Dynasty more than anything else? If you don't even want to speak Chinese, how can we be a family..."

For the emperor's compliment, Abdul Raha Khan bowed his head and saluted to express his gratitude, and he also lost no time in suggesting to Chongzhen: "Yes, Your Majesty." If it weren't for learning Chinese characters and Chinese, the minister wouldn't know that as early as the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions and China got married, and we were originally a family.

Although the Western Regions have intermittently lost contact with China due to the invasion of foreign enemies, since His Majesty has shown the Tianwei of the Ming Dynasty at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, then the Western Regions should be returned to China.

The minister believed that there was no need for the Yarkand Khanate to continue to exist. Since they are all a family, it is only right to ask His Majesty the Emperor to allow the Khanate to withdraw its feudal kingdom and establish a province and establish a school at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, so that the people of the Western Regions can regain their exposure to Chinese culture..."
