Chapter 65: The Dalin Case (1)
Bai Mo only now realizes what it means to be "honest and fearful". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The resistance to wandering in his conversation with He Cai is about to come true-because he knows that he does not have the ability to sit firmly in the position of court lieutenant now, and he will inevitably be relegated to a place in the future, and he may even lose his life if he is not careful.
Xiao Yan's motives are not incomprehensible.
As the leader of the military generals faction, he is trying his best to arrange "his own people" among the administrative bureaucrats, that is, the scholars who entered the imperial examination organized by him, and when they enter the imperial court, they will always hear that Xiao Yan organized the imperial examination, so Xiao Yan became everyone's teacher.
But in the long run, Xiao Yan's "appreciation" is actually a political risk for Bai Mo. Xiao Yan has become a force to be reckoned with in the Jin court since the time of the Holy King, and he has almost received most of the credit for the great cause of the unification of the world.
The dialogue between Beiming Zhensu and Xiao Yan in the court is like friends who have known each other for many years.
But Beiming Zhensu is the emperor after all, he is the emperor first, and he is Xiao Yan's "friend", in this context, the future is foreseeable, Beiming Zhensu and Xiao Yan will break up sooner or later, the monarch and the ministers are in a struggle, and the outcome is unpredictable.
Moreover, Beiming Zhensu now supports Xiao Yan to install "his own people", and at the end of the day, let's see who is the biggest loser in this personnel change, and the reason is about to come out.
He was hitchhiking on Xiao Yan's ride, or simply the two of them conspired to fight against the aristocratic forces that had been entrenched in the court for hundreds of years.
The first time Bai Mo entered the court, he was at the center of the treacherous changes and struggles in the court.
"Bai Qingjia, how can I look at you, I don't seem to be very happy?"
Bai Mo looked at Beiming Zhensu's slightly narrowed eyes, obviously he himself must not say the words "the minister thinks he can't be up to the big responsibility", compared to the risk, this is really the way to survive. You can't do what the boss wants, you want to protect yourself everywhere, why does the boss use you?
So Bai Mo immediately bowed his hand and said: "No, the minister is just thinking about how to do the errand given by the saint, so he has no time to be happy." ”
"Haha, Bai Qingjia, well said! Being on top and worrying about things, this is the consciousness that I should have! You guys, learn more from Bai Qing's family, don't get carried away as soon as you are promoted, and cry when you are degraded. ”
After that, Fang Bo and Ji Ping were also recommended by Xiao Yan as officials one by one, and naturally there was no more "Jiuqing", but at least they also achieved the "Cheng" position of Jiuqing's subordinate officials.
No one is outside the center.
Xiao Yan coughed and sat down, Beiming Zhensu did not see sadness and joy on his face, but still looked a little sad, and saw that none of the Wenchen generals objected, so he waved his sleeves.
"If it's okay, just retreat."
At this time, Prime Minister Wei Wuji, who had been silent, stood up.
"Your Majesty, wait! The minister thought that Xu and Bai Erqing, who had never served in the court, sat on the high position of Jiuqing, which was very inappropriate, not to mention that their qualifications were still lacking, and even the basic office affairs should not be able to start, so the minister had the courage to ask His Majesty to think twice and take back his life. ”
At this time, the ministers who had the backbone finally had the backbone, and they all said: "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”
But these people are not all civil officials, and some of the bureaucrats on the left did not respond, and this part is the school of people who were recommended to the court by the merry people.
"Then I chose one of your Han, Zhao and Wei families to fill these two gaps, the prime minister thinks, is it appropriate?" Beiming Zhensu's tone was flat, no sadness or joy, but the sneer in his words was obvious, "You must be thinking in your heart, 'This is about the same'." ”
"I don't dare."
"Xu Qing and Bai Qing have no experience, so if you choose one of the Zhulang officials, you will have experience?"
"At least I hear it."
"Choose one of the children of your family, and you will have experience?"
"At least inherit the way of governance since childhood, and will not just talk like those Confucian scholars."
"Doctor Liu, Meng Langzhong," Beiming Zhensu nodded two people from the Wenchen on the left, "The prime minister said that you will only talk about it, what do you think?" ”
Liu Zhi, the counselor who was named by the emperor, obviously found it difficult to agree with the prime minister's words, after all, he was a Confucian himself.
"Your Majesty, the Tao is born and the Tao is born, the Tao is born and the virtue exists, for the government to virtue, such as the North Star, where the dwelling place and the stars are together, to the virtue of the government, such as the morning dew, moisten all things and all things moisten. If there is no virtue, there is no work, there is virtue, there is no impossibility, therefore, the minister thinks that Xu and Bai Ergong, if there is virtue, it does not matter about experience and qualifications, if there is virtue, then His Majesty will let it rank among the three princes today, why not? The ministers are dull and stupid, and they are not disrespectful, they don't want to talk about the prime minister, they just want to show virtue in the court and Mingde in their hearts. ”
Bei Mingzhen was cold for a while, and laughed.
"It's a bit of empty talk, but it's generally good."
Beiming Zhensu pointed at Wei Wuji: "Now I have no experience, I will do it in a few days, don't talk about it, since I have approved Xiao Aiqing's recommendation, this matter is so decided, when Xu and Bai are not in a good position, you will definitely listen to you." Okay, is there anything else? It's okay to retreat. ”
"Your Majesty."
The one who spoke was the pawn Zhao Wuwu, this person was the nephew of Zhao Guangzhong, the commander of Xia Zhuguo, but he was over forty years old, although he was born as a military general, he was born with a kind face, looking at people and animals harmless, and speaking a little softly.
"When the minister learned that when His Holiness returned to China, the National Teacher of the Snow Mountain Country, stayed in the counties along the southwest for many days, and was sending his followers to spread the teachings and develop the followers, and he had a great momentum in Bashu and Shu."
Beiming Zhensu's response was not "There is such a thing", but: "So fast? ”
Zhao Wuwu continued: "Its monks all say: Good faith is liberated, and the next life will be blessed. Enlightenment leads to liberation, and after death, escape reincarnation. Therefore, all those who do not fulfill their wishes in the two places of Bashu, in order to seek wealth in the next life, or to become a Buddha and become holy, are willing to believe in its way, and the believers flock to it for a time. However, when the scholars looked at its classics, they all said that it was 'vulgar and vulgar and slang', so there were no believers among the scholars. ”
"Princes and princes, are there any people who have no faith?"
"I haven't tasted it."
"Officers and soldiers of the garrison, are there any people who have no faith?"
"I haven't tasted it."
Beiming Zhensu waved his hand: "It's no big deal, let him go." ”
At this time, Bai Mo was writing the wat board. A few officials mentioned a few more small things, and after Beiming Zhensu made a decision one by one, he withdrew from the court.
Generally speaking, the atmosphere of conversation in the court of the Jin Kingdom is actually full of relaxation, and almost only Confucian scholars will be full of elegant words, which is good or bad, in fact, it is a matter of opinion.
After Bai Mo left the Northern Underworld Palace, he immediately went to the Imperial Commander's Office.
The most important thing now is to familiarize yourself with the office process of the Imperial Lieutenant Office as soon as possible, so as to avoid being seized by those aristocratic factions who are trying to turn against you.
The North Underworld Palace is located in the north of the center of Fengjing, surrounded by government offices and royal mansions, there is no residence for civilians, and the periphery is the place where wealthy merchants live.
The Imperial Commander's Office is not far from the North Hades Palace, and Bai Mo walked for half an hour to arrive.
This yamen is not very big from the outside, it can't compare to the Prime Minister's Mansion, or even the He family's mansion, but this is not a Qingshui Yamen, its main structure is actually not a layer that can be seen on the surface, but underground.
Tingwei Prison, equivalent to the edict prison that Bai Mo was familiar with in his previous life, is a place for high-status ****** and extremely vicious criminals. The entire Imperial Prison is underground, dark and damp, with no sunlight, and it is the most creepy place in the Empire.
Li Si of the Qin Dynasty, who Bai Mo was familiar with in his previous life, also served as a court lieutenant before becoming prime minister.
Bai Mo entered the door, and immediately a guard stopped him, shouting loudly: "What person! ”
Bai Mo took out the ivory waist card that the eunuchs gave him when he left the palace, waved it to the guards like a show off, and said, "Your new leader." ”
"Wait a minute, the little one will go and ask the boss."
As he spoke, a guard walked in, and then a large group of adjutants came out to greet him, led by Cheng Kong Geng, the court lieutenant who had previously acted as the court lieutenant.
Kong Geng had an involuntary smile on his face, but he didn't have too much resentment in his heart. The agent is the agent, the adjutant acts as the chief officer's affairs, and there have always been very few who can be corrected, the reason why Kong Geng is in a bad mood is just because the new chief officer came too quickly, and his addiction has not been enough.
"Tingwei Cheng Kong Geng, I've seen Bai Tingwei."
"Mr. Kong is exempt. Bai is a newcomer, and he still needs Mr. Kong to mention more about the office in the future. ”
Kong Geng saw that the new chief officer was still on the road, and he unconsciously looked up in his heart, it seems that this person is not the kind of sharp-edged stunned youth, this is good, hello, I am good, everyone is good.
He immediately became enthusiastic, and the two of them patted each other on the back, and together they stepped into the Imperial Lieutenant's Office, and the lower officials followed in their footsteps.
"Mr. Kong, is there anything important to be done in this court office recently?"
"Nothing too important, Haiyu clarified, there are very few things to be recited in the hells......"
Bai Mo interrupted Kong Geng's words and pointed to a scribe who was walking in with a pile of documents: "Then what is in his arms?" ”
Kong Geng said: "It's all old cases, and this is about to be classified and archived." Such a trivial matter does not need to be cared about by Lord Tingwei. ”
"Yes."
Bai Mo said, stopped the scribe, and pulled out a document at random.
This document is written in raw propaganda, folded and bound, and very delicate.
Bai Mo held the cover in both hands, pulled it outward, and unfolded it:
"Yu Tingwei, Tingwei Cheng knows:"
"Xiaochen Yunzhong County Shoufang Tan, the people of my county are simple and simple, and the people are impartial and law-abiding, but people are not sages, who can do nothing, on the Guo family's Dalin stick to kill his son to satisfy his father's order, the minister has objections."
Bai Mo continued to look down, and the more he looked, the angrier he became.
"This Fang Tan, it's very good."
He saw again what he had heard and which angered him.
It turned out that this Guo Dalin killed his son and cooked a dish for his father to eat in order to be a good person. In addition to the literary name, Tao strategy and other indicators, benevolence and filial piety are also the measurement standard, this Guo Dalin himself is not talented, and his instrument knowledge is not good, so the sword went sideways, and he actually did this beast.
The local county magistrate originally acquitted him on the grounds that "although it violated the law, there was a reason and extenuating circumstances." ”
When the former court lieutenant Han Long heard this, he immediately refuted: "The law is greater than the sky, the law is greater than the virtue, according to the law, you will be beheaded, don't let the plea." ”
But Han Long was torn apart by the car.
The acting court lieutenant Cheng Kong Geng gave the latest instructions: "Take care of yourself as appropriate." ”
The subtext is, don't worry about Han Long's approval, just do what you want.
So the county guard Tan Hui was wrong, thinking that the sentence "you look at it" was a threat and a no, so he came to post a plea again. This time, Kong Geng estimated that he had doubts about the IQ of the other party, and replied very directly: "It is okay to be acquitted." ”
Bai Mo threw down the paper.
"Mr. Kong, Bai thinks that this matter should be discussed."
