Chapter 235: How to Interrogate

Li Ran was making his own calculations below, but he ignored the excitement in the court at this time. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info was lined up by Luo Yun, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”

Lu Chengqi looked at Luo Yun in surprise, as the criminal department, it should be the quietest. After all, what kind of criminal case, it is not their turn to speak out in the court, for example, the court is a place for court discussions, where is there time for the criminal department to discuss the case? Unless there is a major case and Dali Temple can't make up its mind, it will be raised by Dali Siqing, and the emperor will decide whether to hand it over to the Criminal Department for trial.

"Is there a big case that shocked the whole country?" Lu Chengqi, who had never experienced such a thing, did not express his position for a while. After some thought, half an hour had passed. At this time, there was silence in the court, and the civil and military officials thought that the little emperor had been stepped on by Luo Yun's tail, and they all held their breath and wanted to watch a good show.

After Lu Chengqi finished thinking about it, he realized that he was distracted. He coughed lightly, slightly concealed his embarrassment, and calmly said as if nothing had happened, "Quasi-play!" ”

The two words fluttering lightly made Luo Yun, who had been waiting for the following, almost kneel. said straight in his heart: "My ancestor, don't bring such a scary ......" With the increasing majesty, even if Lu Chengqi appears in front of the civil and military officials and does not speak, he will have an invisible coercion on them. If your psychological tolerance is weaker, you may be scared to death first.

Fortunately, Luo Yun, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was still relatively bold, but in this half an hour, he was also bluffed by Lu Chengqi into a cold sweat, and he thought hard about whether he had done anything illegal.

Lu Chengqi gently and skillfully spit out those two words, for Luo Yun, it was like a person who was about to die of thirst when he walked in the desert, and suddenly saw a clear spring, this is the reward of getting a new life!

Luo Yun, who almost cried bitterly, forgot what he was going to say when he was excited. hurriedly glanced at the Chao Wat in his hand, and then remembered what to say: "Your Majesty, Wang Yuanshi, the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, has been detained back to Chang'an City. How to interrogate, please also ask Your Majesty to indicate. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked. Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Yuanshi, these two names, the civil and military officials who are familiar with the history of the family, must know. How good is the Wang family? According to what they said, Wang Mang, the usurper of the Western Han Dynasty, is the ancestor of the Wang family! A family that has endured for thousands of years, is it not at all the foundation?

Who would have thought that no matter how powerful the family is, it is still vulnerable in front of the state machine. It's only been half a month since the last time we discussed sending troops. The forbidden army has rushed to Taiyuan and captured Wang Yuanshi!

The civil and military officials were shocked, but Lu Chengqi suddenly realized that it was this matter. He had previously received a secret report from the Supervision Department and an urgent report from the forbidden army Pegasus, and he had already put this matter down. It has also set up a regular closing position, and in the future, no one will be afraid of making trouble because of salt and grain. Lu Chengqi, who didn't have any worries in his heart, naturally put this matter behind him when he had many things to deal with.

During this period, there was an episode, that is, Yin Liang Zhongwen of Taiyuan Mansion played, saying that the remnants of the Wang family wanted to rob Wang Yuanshi, but fortunately, Lu Chenhuan had already sent the forbidden army to detain Wang Yuanshi back to Chang'an City, so as to avoid another major event that shocked the government and the opposition.

Regarding Liang Zhongwen's statement, Lu Chengqi was skeptical. In the case that there is no follow-up after the investigation of the Supervision Department, Lu Chengqi can only believe this statement. But in Liang Zhongwen's recital, the evidence given is too far-fetched, and Lu Chengqi, who has a decent reasoning ability, doesn't believe that anyone would be so stupid.

However, there is no evidence, so this case can only be a headless unsolved case. For the forbidden army that was killed, it could only be regarded as a matter of death.

At this moment, the old matter was brought up again, and Lu Chengqi immediately remembered that there was still this matter that had not been dealt with. He had already had a belly case, and he was not in a hurry to reveal what he meant, but wanted to know the opinion of those civil officials who had a lot of flowers and intestines on this matter: "Oh, so that's it. I want to know, what is the best way for you? ”

Naturally, the military attaches could not interject, and they did not have the right to speak at all about the case or anything. Among the civil officials, there are few people who are familiar with the law, and if they are not from the Ming Law Department, they still know little about the "Great Shun Law". If they are delegated to magistrates, most of them are also masters who rely on officials to do things, and there is no real material at all.

Even Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, had his opinion on this matter only handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and then reviewed by the Criminal Department. Even the head of the cabinet, who is equivalent to Zaisuke, said so, so what else can the rest of them say? They all agreed, saying that this method was good.

Lu Chengqi also understands that because of historical deviations, Dali Temple is not equivalent to the Supreme Court like previous dynasties. On the contrary, the Criminal Department has become the Supreme Court, which is in charge of the final trial and review of major cases, and Dali Temple has become the body in charge of the national criminal decree and the examination of criminal names. This is the earliest second-instance system, and only major cases can have such treatment. Later generations of the Celestial Empire also borrowed from this system, which shows that this system has its own advanced points.

Originally, Lu Chengqi also wanted to let the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen conduct the first trial, so that more people could observe, what kind of end would it be to betray the imperial court. But after thinking about it, the influence of the Wang family is really a bit big, and if it is publicized, it seems that it is not in the interests of the imperial court.

In this case, it is better to follow the old system. Let Dali Temple conduct interrogation first, and then hand it over to the Criminal Department for review.

Lu Chengqi also knew that no matter how powerful the imperial examination system was, it would not be able to eliminate the family for a while. By understanding the laws of the imperial examination system, some so-called scholarly families have gradually formed their own forces. The family and the scholarly family are just a different title, and there is no difference in essence. Almost all of his descendants can enter the officialdom and become "officials" that ordinary scholars can hope for in their lifetime.

There is no way, these people have already mastered the true meaning of being officials, even if there is an occasional generation that fails to pass the scientific examination, they can also be regarded as having an official body through a huge interpersonal relationship, from a staff member to a nominal nine-rank sesame official.

Fortunately, Dashun's title system is hereditary for no more than three generations. Even if it is a founding feat, it is only five generations. So much so that up to now, there are very few officials knighted in the Dashun Dynasty, and there has not been one in the past thirty years. There is no way to talk about the problems of those noble princes and lords of the previous dynasty who harmed the government and government.

But these people who have mastered the laws of scientific research are the henchmen of the imperial court. These people are tantamount to occupying official positions, and those who study hard are rarely able to pass the exam. Over time, these scholarly families who enjoy more educational resources than the children of the poor must occupy the advantage of scientific research. No one can guarantee that if these scholarly families continue, will they become a second kind of family?

In order to get rid of the malpractice, it is necessary to reform the content of the imperial examination. Pay more attention to innovation, overall situation and work ability, otherwise blindly standardized answers will definitely let people take advantage of loopholes. The country can't choose talents, and over time, it will only be the country itself that will be pitted.

If you are too cruel to the family, you may cause dissatisfaction among these vested interest groups. Only by interrogating according to the system can we ensure that these vested interests do not cause trouble. Then Lu Chengqi set a bottom line, so that these vested interest groups know that crossing the line is to bring about their own destruction, so that no one will provoke the imperial court. At that time, the questions of the imperial examination will be adjusted to be flexible and flexible, and the real talents will be selected for the country. (To be continued.) )
