Chapter 054: Life Justice (240 votes plus change)

"You're a soldier with only warships and artillery in your head, and you don't know how hard it is to run a country. In the past few years, I kind of understand why His Majesty has not moved the Great Song Dynasty, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he is not ready, not to mention anything else, just the officials of the government departments, there are more than tens of thousands of people, and it is not necessarily enough to turn everyone in Jinhe City and Mayi City into officials. Don't keep fighting all day long, you are happy when you drive the ship and the cannon goes off, who will be responsible for the rest of the matter? Yi Yi rolled the left one out of the corner of his eye, as he grew older and served in the government, the blood that he was not afraid of in the past had slowly cooled down, and now he felt more and more that his juniors and partners had problems with their thinking, and he was no longer as like-minded as before.

"The entire empire was brought down by His Majesty with warships and artillery, why shouldn't we? As long as the Shandong Peninsula is taken down first, it won't take a few years, not only the Great Song Dynasty is an empire, but even Mongolia in the north! At the beginning, Your Majesty didn't have an Imperial Army, so didn't you still conquer the city? It's a big deal, we slowly push inward from the coastal cities, I don't believe that there is a good life, and the Song people are unwilling to live. If this is the case, there is no need to be afraid, the navy has ships, and whoever is not happy will be transported to Dashi and Cape Town, and hundreds of thousands or millions of people can be placed in those places. As soon as he talked about things related to the war, the young officer began to talk endlessly, and he had a whole set of methods, which did not sound impossible, but he seemed too ruthless to treat foreigners as human beings at all.

"It's done, don't quarrel between the two of you, let's go over too, Your Majesty is here." Seeing that the two companions were about to fight like cockfights and were about to fight over this topic that was debated every time, the young man sitting to the right of Ichi stood up, interrupted them in time, and raised his chin towards the door of the courthouse.

"Haha, it's very lively here today, everyone is very concerned about national affairs, this is a good thing! It's a pity that Jinhe and Hong Salamander have gone to sea, and if they can, they should come and learn from it. Prime Minister Bo, I suggest that government workers take a half-day off and come and listen, because I still have something important to announce in a while, and it would be a pity not to listen. Hong Tao didn't come alone, he led his youngest daughter Geya with his left hand, his third son Saifei with his right hand, and followed by the two queens Senya and Bai Xiang, which was considered a family trip. Hong Jinhe and Bozhu went out to sea to inspect and couldn't come back, Hong Salamander and Luo Mei set sail last month, and now it is estimated that they are almost in Cape Town.

"Uncle, what are you going to say about it?" Bo Jiao was about to make Emperor Hong mentally ill, and when he heard that there was still a big event to announce, his face immediately showed an expression of wanting to cry.

"Look at your little bit of talent, what does the Imperial Prime Minister think of a little daughter-in-law! It's not that whoever wants to drive you down will go down, you're afraid of a fart! This matter has nothing to do with you, it's a royal matter, if you want to hear it, hurry up and call someone, I won't be interested in talking about it if there are fewer people. Let's go, girl, let's go in the first row and take a seat! Hong Tao felt that it was time to leave here for a while, otherwise Bo Jiao would live in his shadow forever.

There is no room on the east side of the second floor of the court, it is a hall, but unfortunately Hong Tao only knows how to use the frame structure to build a low-rise building, and does not play with a large-span roof, the structure of the hall is the same as the library, although it is a large space, but it is covered with cement columns, which cannot achieve the effect of a cinema and an auditorium. This is the public trial hall of the Supreme Court, and except for Hong Tao's dissatisfaction, no one thinks that the space here is not large enough, and no one has any opinion about those pillars.

When the emperor came, whether he had the right or not, he was naturally seated, oh no, it was the front row, and those sitting on his left and right were the heads of various big families and senior members of the parliament. The two old ladies of the Weng family sat beside him, and from time to time they turned back and said a few words to Sai Fei who was sitting in the second row. But the two of them are excusable, there are too many girls in the family, and they are tired of watching it.

Behind the second row, in addition to the family members of the first row, there are important government officials such as Bo Jiao, Kong Pei, and Wen Nan, as well as new forces in the parliament. In terms of numbers, they have the advantage, but they are definitely not as numerous as the younger generation in their twenties and early thirties after the third row. Only a small part of the middle and upper echelons of these government departments and the middle and high ranks of the military came, and if all of them came, the entire court building would be filled.

Ordinary people who really came to see the excitement or cared about the politics of the empire sat at the back of the tenth row, although no one asked them to sit like this, but the thing of class, which did not need special requirements, seemed to be the nature of human beings, and it was naturally formed. You say you're a shipyard worker, and you're politically enthusiastic, and you get into the middle of a bunch of ministers and sit down, even if people don't bombard you, and talk to each other? Minister and tell you about the spirit of the morning government work conference? And then you and the minister nagged how many times yesterday you painted the hull of the ship?

At nine o'clock, the justices came out of the side door, and they were the same color as the justices of Europe and the United States in later generations, all of them were mainly black. The black hanfu with wide cuffs and belts embroidered with gold thread motifs of the balance and the code of laws is one of the only two professions in the empire that can use the gold thread emblem on clothes, the other being the emperor.

When Hong Tao designed the position of a tenured justice, he specially selected three kinds of clothes for the parliament and the Rong family to see, and they finally agreed to choose black Hanfu. Most of the Han and Tan people and even the Li people do not consider themselves to be Song people, but they all admit that there is a Han ancestor, and Emperor Hong also said that his ancestors are Han people, this clothing pattern has been set, which is regarded as the traditional dress of Jinhe Kingdom. You can wear it for big celebrations, but you don't have to force it, as long as you don't go bare, you can wear whatever you like.

The system of tenured justices was plagiarized by Hong Tao again, and this time it was not from Britain but from the United States. Why did Hong Tao bring over the British parliament and political parties, but chose the American justice for life in the important role of justice? Is it because he thinks that plagiarizing Britain is not messy enough, and that he must inherit the characteristics of Britain as a-stirring stick and mess everything up?

Actually, no, it has to do with the historical evolution of the position of chief justice. The Lord Chancellor of England is called MyLord, and Lord is a Lord, even if he is not a nobleman, he will be promoted to Lord after serving as a Lord Justice. Because the English Chancellor has existed longer than Parliament, he was originally a clergyman, and later a minister to the king or emperor, and finally evolved into a chancellor, with a strong aristocratic color. However, the Golden River Empire is a new country, and it does not and does not intend to have an aristocratic class, which is more similar to the United States. What's more, Hong Tao doesn't know much about the rules of behavior of the British aristocracy, so he really hasn't been a one! I had to choose the United States, which was more in line with the current situation of the Golden River Empire, as the object of study.

Someone asked, after you finished studying Switzerland to study Britain, and after studying Britain to learn the United States, why don't you study the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Han? You're cents! You are a foreigner!

This question is really right, in terms of the concept of governing the country, Hong Tao is indeed a person who admires foreigners. He believes that historically, the closer to modernity, the more obvious the institutional advantages of Western countries, and the developed countries in the world basically use a similar system. Although each has its own characteristics, it has never deviated from its origin, and until he crossed, he did not see a decline in decline.

Hong Tao established the Jinhe Empire, not to dominate the world in the thirteenth century, if only for this goal, there is no need to spend so much effort, even if he uses slavery, he can rely on the strength of the ship and artillery, with overwhelming slave soldiers, to drown the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia. He was chasing the most difficult game results, and wanted to use the Golden River Country as a testing ground to verify the answer to the question that would be debated in later generations. Is it a human race? The system is not successful? Luck? Still none of that.

The first term of the life chief justice of the Jinhe Empire was held by the three sons of Rong Weng Weng, which was decided at the beginning of the founding of the country. Rong Weng Weng is a wise old man, he is actually the first person to take the peaceful Zen position, and he handed over the position of the Tan family's territorial sea man to himself, thus handing over the right of the head of the Tan family to himself. As far as the situation at that time is concerned, the Tan family is definitely the main ethnic group in Jinhewan, and the old man did not use the power in his hands to fight for anything, but in order to avoid possible ethnic disputes, he willingly gave up his rights, this is great wisdom, and he can take it and put it down.

Throughout the history of the world, there have not been many people who have been able to do this. In doing so, the elderly also laid a solid foundation for the transformation of Golden River Bay into a multi-ethnic, multi-ethnic emerging nation of immigrants. Rong Wengweng's three sons also strictly abided by Rong Weng's instructions, no longer held positions in any ethnic group, and went to run the Rong family manor in a down-to-earth manner, without even participating in the parliament.

Reward the meritorious! Don't let people with noble character suffer! This is the purpose of Hong Tao. Only in this way will there be people who are willing to contribute to the country and continue to pursue nobility. Since the Rong family abides by their father's will and resolutely does not participate in politics, Hong Tao has found a position tailored for them, a lifelong justice!

This position was nominated by the Emperor and approved by the Parliament, but it did not belong to the government, nor to the Parliament, nor to the Imperial Family, and was the fourth independent faction independent of the three forces. When the case is tried in detail, only these three justices preside, and when the decision is really made, the three justices, the emperor, and the prime minister, have to obey the majority in a small number, and the justices only account for one of the votes.

In fact, the nature of the position of chief judge is similar to that of Hong Tao, the emperor, and they are both a symbol of the empire and a condition of checks and balances. After serving as a justice, it is for life, right? Well, until you die, you will no longer be able to be an official, do business, and even bring your family to be restricted. What follows is nothing more than an extremely high honor, and the person who can hold this position is basically equal to the person of the noblest character in the empire.

What is Benefit? Honor and character are also considered to be a kind of interest, and for different people, the interests are different. The most suitable and willing inheritance of the Rong family is this kind of noble position on the spiritual level, because Rong Weng Weng left his descendants ancestral teachings, which itself determines that his descendants have lost a lot, and now they will receive this huge compensation, they will inevitably regard it as a treasure and cherish it very much.
