Yang Sichang stayed in Fengzhou for ten days, from the western Chahan Naoerwei to the eastern Xinghewei, this is his old habit, in the Shanyong governor of the post of all over the border wall, encountered problems on the spot to solve, now to Fengzhou is the same, its pragmatic and rigorous, vigorous and resolute so that Li Yu also has to admire. This is a salient and righteous Shangguan who does practical things, and he is comparable to Lord Hong Chengchou - Li Yu's affection for Yang Sichang is deepening day by day, and he accompanied him all the way to Dushikou.

"Hermes-Epitek, this official has found that there are still Dongyu activities here, and it seems that the strength is not strong, why don't you drive them away?" Yang Sichang looked at a small group of Jin Army cavalry in the distance and asked.

"Dongyu gathers and scatters, floats and floats, and the last general is unable to control the border of Xuanfu, so let him be allowed for a while," Li Yu secretly scolded Yue Tuo and his gang in his heart for not giving face, obviously greeted them to hide for a few days, and dared to come out and run around, and said fiercely, "Don't worry, my lord, I will drive them away at the beginning of spring next year." ”

"This is the periphery of the Xuanfu, and it must be taken down," Yang Sichang nodded, pointed at Li Yu and said sternly, "There is a tacit understanding between you and Dongyu, this official can see it, this is not your fault, obviously the strength is not enough and you are fighting hard, that is stupid, but the border outside the Xuanfu is also a barrier for your naturalization, and it is you who is unlucky to tolerate the thief in the end." ”

"The last general understands that he must recover the border of Xuanfu," Li Yu solemnly assured, but immediately complained, "Money, grain, the last general stabbed the hornet's nest, what should I do if the Dongyu army comes over?" The last general is going to be unable to live now. ”

"Aren't you very bold, you will fight when the East Prisoner comes to grab your territory," Yang Sichang laughed, and then patted Li Yu's breastplate and said, "Don't worry, this official will help you, Lord Wu Yu took over as the governor of SX, and said a lot of good things for you, and this official has been observing you these days, and it is true that the courtiers say that you are deviant and ignore the imperial court, but it is an exaggeration to say that you recognize the thief as your father and plot against you, you are just stepping on two boats." ”

Li Yu blushed and whispered: "My lord, I will take hundreds of thousands of people to live in the end." ”

"This official didn't say that you did something wrong, the bitter cold and poverty outside the Guan, the Han and Yi mixed lives, you can only put survival in the first place, the Central Plains dynasties have always implemented a policy of restraint, do not get involved in their internal affairs, copy the set of Guannei, the day of defeat is not far away, you just have to do it boldly, don't care about the courtiers' discussions. Remember, next year, the spring of the Xuanfu will be taken down, there was my Ming Kaipingwei hometown, the day of success is the time of Kaipingwei's reconstruction, this official will definitely reward you for your merits. Yang Sichang waved his hand and led his entourage into the monolith.

Sent Yang Sichang away, Li Yu decided to settle accounts with the Jin soldiers who were not long-eyed, and as soon as a few arrows were shot, people came - there were not many people left by the Jin army outside the Xuanfu, only Yue Tuo and Chang Shu's 1,000 cavalry, and the other was the small tribe of more than 1,000 men in Omulun, this point of people and horses was placed here, not so much against Fengzhou, but in swearing sovereignty, but Tiancong Khan used two people, Yue Tuo is the big brother, Chang Shu is the same senior brother, Li Yu is really embarrassed to start.

"Erlu, I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come," the leader was actually Chang Shu, hugged Li Yu and said, "I went to naturalize with you, and I brought all the salutes." ”

Almost forgetting that this guy was still the trade ambassador of the Jin Kingdom, Li Yu deliberately hesitated and said, "Senior brother, have you written your life and death documents?" I can't save you if the government arrests you, and besides, it's going to snow soon, and there's no business to do, so you might as well stay here." ”

"Don't come to this set, what's going on with your naturalization can hide it from me, Fan Erxi can go to Shengjing, I can go to naturalization, I heard Aita say that your mission department has collected a lot of books, and it is just time to go to naturalization to study in the winter." Chang Shu said confidently that he, like Li Yu, is a disciple of Kurtang and Dahai, and he is a bookish guy, and he is recognized as the leader of the younger generation of Bakshi in the Eight Banners, but he is a person from ZLQ, and he is also a sworn friend of Mang Gurtai, so he has not been reused, and he doesn't know what Tiancong Khan has in mind when he is sent out this time.

Li Yu was speechless, Chang Shu was proud, and casually pulled a young man over and introduced: "Su Tai's younger brother Nan Chu also went with me to naturalize to visit my sister." ”

"Brother-in-law, you are auspicious!" Nan Chu bowed down and saluted Li Yu.

"Don't scream, your sister and I are innocent." Li Yu was taken aback, no matter whether they were noble or low, they were accustomed to remarrying widows, Chahar Khan handed over Sutai's mother and son to Li Yuen to raise was actually to allow Sutai to remarry, but Li Yu accepted the lesson of Tulai, and never wanted to find trouble, Sutailai did not leave at home It was already a rumor, and it would be even more troublesome to add a brother-in-law.

"I don't believe it, what is wrong with Sutai, why don't you admit it, Nan Chu, let's go to naturalization." Chang Shu smiled, pulled Nan Chu and left.

Li Yu shook his head helplessly, and sent Brother Li to lead a team of cavalry to escort them to naturalization, and went to the old capital city by himself - Tuba and Zhentu have not yet counted the account of letting go of 35,000 Chahar people to join the enemy, these guys are lawless and reckless, and this time they can't be polite anymore.

Two days later, the Chahar nobles, officials and many people gathered on the banks of the Lightning River, Li Yu announced in public that he was appointed as the Great Jinong, accepted the title of Chechen Baturu, and concurrently served as the commander of the Chahar, and then reviewed the glorious achievements of the cowardly Xue Tieqi who had dominated the world, and denounced the four empress dowagers of Nangnan, Dou Tumen, Orzhetu, and Tesna, as well as the Karma Jinong, who betrayed themselves to the enemy and split the same clan, which was a heinous rebellion, and finally promised that unless the Chahar people agreed by the public, they would never implement the reform of the guard system. Li Yu's statement won enthusiastic cheers from the Chahar people.

Send away the common people, Li Yu is fierce, and roars at the Chahar nobles and officials, play with me and pedal two boats, do you have this strength, you have to disassemble yourself, you have to play to death, and the fool should be beaten - the old Tuba is forgotten, and the Tutu was whipped twice, and even Zhu Riga, Darhan, and Martyrdom and others were scolded to the blood, and the two queen dowagers who were praised were the two queen mothers of Gaoer Tumen and Subahai, Li Yu announced that the two queen dowagers were under his protection and had the right to participate in the decision-making of the affairs of the entire Chahar family, and Gaoertumen and Subahai were flattered, Tuba and Tutu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, this matter is considered to be confused, but the later arrangements have to be up to Dajinong.

"Zhu Riga was reappointed as a judge, Tuba, Zhentu and the two queen mothers were in charge of the Chahar Commander's Mansion, the five of you discussed the affairs of the whole clan, and during my absence, Prime Minister Tuba was in charge of the affairs of the Governor's Office, the two battalions on the left and right of Chahar were disbanded, and the officers and soldiers were used as reserves, and Darhan and Martyr's Rite were reappointed as the main and deputy garrisons of Chahar, so be it!" Li Yu waved his hand and said.

No one dared to say a word, they all agreed honestly, and Li Yu also rushed back after three days of inspection in the Chahar departments, where there were still a lot of things waiting for him.

Naturalization, the Great Law Division, the Great Judge Ortai kept pacing back and forth in the official room, glancing at several other judges from time to time - Liu Tianren and Bai Yuzhu are the old men of Fengzhou and the veteran of solving cases, Chen Songlin was recommended by the Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce, Xiucai was born as a criminal master, and has always been shrewd and capable, and there is a new Zhu Yiqian, Zhang Zongheng fell, he also resigned and returned to his hometown, just out of Datong City, he was blocked by the people of the Titang Division, saying that it was the big decision to invite him to do a big career, Zhu Yiqian came to Fengzhou half pushed, To be honest, he still wanted to be an official, but he didn't expect to encounter a big case when he first came.

The reason is that Wang Fang is too arrogant, and the civilian party he and Zhang Guoji have drummed up with the rapid development momentum, the number of party members is increasing sharply every day, and the comrades of the whole party are all over the border wall - there is the foundation of the White Lotus Sect, and there is a signboard that can see the light, and the accomplices who are dying of being suppressed by the government are rushing to defect, and it is difficult for the civilian party not to be prosperous. When the news came that the governor of the three towns in Daguan and the general soldier had been dismissed from their posts and were convicted, more than 1,000 civilian party members held a demonstration and rally in the Naturalization Square, chanting slogans such as "Long live Fengzhou," "Long live freedom, equality, and benevolence," and "Long live the Great Commander," and even erected the Statue of Liberty on the square to worship. This farce attracted many onlookers, and the Plebeian Party took the opportunity to recruit new members in it, and also distributed postings throwing out their propositions that the Great Commander was appointed by Heaven to save the world, and founded Toyosu according to the Western Elysium, he is the god of the world, and the Plebeian Party is the most loyal follower of the Great Commander.

Wang Fang's actions shocked the officials of the Great Commander's Mansion, and Liu Zhilun did not hesitate to order Han Dagong to lead an inspection to arrest Wang Fang, disperse the crowd, and smash the obscene statue. Han Dagong went fast and came back faster, and reported to Liu Zhilun with a bitter face, the goddess statue was sculpted according to the beauty of Wulan and Wulangha, Wang Fang threatened to dare to move the statue to beat the two Hatun, as for dispersing the crowd, he didn't dare, the ghost knew how his father Han Laohan and a group of farmers and herdsmen also joined the civilian party, and was waiting for him with a cane, Wang Fang was arrested, but this guy didn't care at all, and took the "Naturalization Oath" to demand his immediate release, Han Dagong was anxious, and handed Wang Fang to Liu Zhilun's hands, I ran away. Liu Zhilun really wanted to lock up this former cult leader and clean it up, but the officials of the Great Commander's Office reminded him that according to the "Naturalization Oath", only the legal department has the right to issue an arrest warrant, and if he does not act without authorization, he will fill himself in. Liu Zhilun was stunned, kicked Wang Fang out, announced that he had been dismissed, and he was not allowed to enter the door of the Grand Commander's Mansion in the future, and went home to wait for him to be imprisoned and whipped, and then immediately sent an official document to the Grand Law Division, demanding that Wang Fang be severely punished for the crimes of forming a party and plotting rebellion, beleading the crowd, and gathering the crowd to make trouble.

Wang Fang was shrewd and immediately seized Liu Zhilun's handle - his official position was nominated by the Grand Commander's Office and appointed with the consent of the Council of Governors, and the dismissal of the official position should also be proposed by the General Consulate and approved by the Council of Officials, and the court had no right to remove him from his position. He also filed a complaint with the Department of Justice, claiming that Liu Zhilun violated the principle of public discussion of officials in the "Naturalization Oath" and dismissed him from his official position without authorization, and demanded that the Department of Justice severely punish him for ignoring Fengzhou's bad behavior and restore him to his official position. The Law Department of the Naturalization Mansion received the complaint and threw it to the Dafa Division, and the Dafa Division believed that the case was complicated, involving the relationship between the Ming Kingdom and Fengzhou, and that the Grand Consulate should convene a public discussion of the political officials, but the Grand Consulate believed that the Grand Law Division had not yet made any judgment, and they had no way to discuss it, and the case was pushed back to the Grand Law Division.

"The Grand Commander came back yesterday, what did he say?" Ortai stopped and asked.

"The Grand Commander said that he ignored the prison lawsuit and asked us to judge ourselves according to the law," Bai Yuzhu shook his head and said with a sigh, "I found the Prime Minister and Lord Xiangli again, and they said that the Grand Commander's Office is even more difficult to express its position on this matter, and it is better for the Grand Law Division to try it, and we can't push it out if we want to." ”

"Didn't the Datong Commander's Mansion think that Fengzhou would decide the case by precedent, and once this case is decided, it will have a far-reaching impact on the future authority of the Commander's Mansion and the Council of Governors, have you told them?" Liu Tianren asked.

Bai Yuzhu replied angrily: "My saliva is about to be dry, but people have said that the Great Commander's Mansion completely trusts the Great Law Division, and will admit it no matter how it is judged, and it is also said that there are not many people who know how to judge our councilors, and it will only add to the chaos if we find them to judge the case." ”

"As soon as this case comes out, what other cases cannot be tried by the Grand Law Division in the future? The weight of authority is too heavy to kill people, and we must be cautious when it comes to judgments! Chen Songlin said anxiously.

"Forget it, let's try it, the relationship between Fengzhou and Ming has just taken a turn for the better, and it is indeed inconvenient for the Grand Commander's Mansion to express its position, let's talk about the future in the future," Ortai covered his head and thought for a while, then turned his face to Zhu Yiqian and asked, "Zhongkang, you have handled countless cases in the Guannei, what should you do if you encounter such a difficult case?" ”

Zhu Yiqian stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Well, one is to push, and if you can't push it out, you will rely on dragging. ”

"No, it can't be delayed now, the governor is urging him twice in three days, and Wang Fang sits at the door of the lobby every day and waits, this guy is the worst, it's all his trouble." Bai Yuzhu waved his hand again and again.

"Then there is one last trick - mixing, commonly known as and thin mud," Zhu Yiqian smiled slightly, seeing that everyone was still a little puzzled, he said with a gesture, "You all come here, I will teach you the trick of handling the case with one hand." ”

On the day of the opening of the Grand Law Division, the five judges of the Grand Law Division sat in the court to try the case together, Liu Zhilun did not give face at all, and only sent Liu Er, a family member, to the court, this coarse goods who did not know a few big characters, stammered and recited Liu Zhilun's instructions, and then slapped his ass and left-Liu Zhilun In addition to continuing to scold Wang Fang for his heinous crimes, he added another appeal, the White Lotus Cult is heinous and heinous, and it has been stated in the previous edicts of the imperial court to purge that the so-called civilian party is just another variant of its residues, and it must be resolutely banned and eliminated in naturalization. Wang Fang came to the Dafa Department every day, and by the way, he appeared in court to defend himself, insisting that he would not admit Liu Zhilun's accusations against the White Lotus Sect, and casually cited some examples to prove that the imperial court was often full of lies, and the accusation that Liu Zhilun's refusal to appear in court was a contempt for the Dafa Division, which was enough to prove that he ignored the dignity of Fengzhou.

The facts of the case are actually very simple, several judges have already known the matter, the opening of the court is just a formality, and the case was judged within a few days, but the verdict is very meaningful.

The judgment first clarified that due to the complexity of the ethnic groups and different customs, the internal living conditions of naturalization are completely different from those in the Ming Pass, and the governance policy must be adopted according to the actual situation, so all the laws and decrees of naturalization can only be the "Naturalization Oath", not the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial edict and prison judgment will not take effect on Fengzhou until they are approved by the Great Law Division. Second, "Freedom, Equality, and Benevolence" is the consensus of all Toyoshu people, and it is also a prerequisite for maintaining the stability of all ethnic groups, and as long as this consensus is not violated, and there is no sufficient evidence that it will cause substantial harm to Toyozhou, the Grand Law Division has no right to prevent Toyoshu people from expressing their will in a reasonable manner, including freedom of speech, organizing assemblies, and forming associations.

Based on the above understanding, the Grand Justice Division believes that although Wang Fang's words and deeds in the Naturalization Square were inappropriate, they did not exceed reasonable limits, and there were no adverse consequences, so the charges charged by the Naturalization Governor against forming a party and plotting rebellion, confusing the crowd with fallacies, and gathering the crowd to make trouble are not established. With regard to the appeal of the Governor of Naturalization to ban and eliminate the White Lotus Cult and the Plebeian Party, the Grand Law Division believes that although Wang Fang argued that the Ming Dynasty was full of lies, the White Lotus Sect and its branches have been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are a large number of facts that prove that its members are indeed widespread in such bad behaviors as fraudulently obtaining money, bullying men and women, and corruption and degeneration, and according to the common sense that any association or organization must be responsible for the actions of its members, and that the rationality of its existence should be denied if it cannot restrain internal ugliness and depravity for such a long time. There is nothing wrong with classifying it as a cult, and the Grand Law Division supports the Naturalized Governor's demand for the banning of the White Lotus Cult, and all those who organize, participate, and assist the cult in the area under the jurisdiction of Fengzhou will be punished, and the Naturalized Governor has not submitted relevant evidence on the inheritance of the Civilian Party and the cult, and even if there are former cult members among his party members, they should be allowed to reform themselves, for example, the Ming Dynasty was also born from the cult, but this does not affect the legitimacy of its imperial court.

The Grand Counsel Department did not support Wang Fang's accusation that the naturalized governor exceeded his authority and demanded that he be reinstated, and that the Grand Commander's Office had authorized the naturalized governor to investigate and prosecute officials, and although Wang Fang was not guilty, he did not make any report to the general commander, and formed a party assembly without authorization, and as an official, he was indeed seriously at fault and should be punished, and it was understandable for the naturalized governor to report his illegality, although his dismissal of Wang Fang's official position was suspected of exceeding his authority, but according to the principle of official public performance in the "Naturalization Oath", his act was invalid from the beginning, that is to say, Wang Fang's official position as the same governor of the Missionary Department was not removed. Moreover, the appointment and dismissal of officials is within the authority of the Grand Consulate, and the Grand Law Division only determines right and wrong and does not interfere, and Wang Fang's request to be reinstated is not within the scope of the Grand Law Division's trial.

The verdict finally determined that Wang Fang was not guilty of guilt, and the request for official reinstatement was returned to the Grand Commander's Office for processing, and Liu Zhilun was also innocent of guilt, and the removal of Wang Fang from his official position should be handled by the Grand Commander's Office in accordance with Fengzhou's laws and decrees.
