294: This department is very powerful

"Your Majesty, according to the rules of the past dynasties, Your Majesty should be crowned as the king of the elder brothers and nephews of the clan, in order to show the grace of the clan cultivation, and Your Majesty since the incident, the clan has done its best, but also gave up the past business, dedicated to solving problems for Your Majesty, today it has been decided, and the minister implores Your Majesty to crown the clan king. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" a former Qing minister fell to his knees and played.

The founding emperor ascended the throne and made the elders of the family, brothers, sons and nephews kings, which was something that every dynasty had to experience.

And this minister obviously carefully understood Wang Sirui's preferences, so he did not open his mouth to let Wang Sirui make the four commanders king, but to ask for the king for the Wang family.

This choice is indeed wonderful, that is, to please the direct family of the imperial family, but not to offend the emperor because of it.

Therefore, in his opinion, this is a move that no matter how it is taken, it will not go wrong, and this move is only good and not bad for him.

Many ministers in the court secretly regretted it, looking at the one kneeling there, there was a faint envy in their hearts, but there were also some people with a calm face, a posture that they had nothing to do with themselves.

If Wang Sirui really wants to make the family king, do you still need him to speak as a minister from the second grade? Do you really think that those ministers who are from the first grade are not furnished?

"Throughout the ages, the Chinese nation has put filial piety first, and it stands to reason that I should make the elder brothers and nephews of the family kings to thank the family for their cultivation and support for me. But compared to the bloody warriors on the battlefield, compared to the government technology work day and night for the rise of the empire, what the family did was somewhat insignificant.

The title of king is a major event of the whole country, and it is related to the safety of the country, and my family, with this credit, is not enough to be crowned king. I will remember this kindness in my heart and use the rest of my life to repay the kindness of my family, however, state affairs and family affairs must not be confused, and I believe that the family will understand my hard work.

Don't mention this matter again, I will explain it to the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's father another day. Wang Sirui responded with a serious face.

Although the minister slapped the sycophants, Wang Sirui did not blame him for this, but took advantage of this opportunity to show everyone his attitude, state affairs are state affairs, and family affairs are family affairs.

And the Wang family did make a lot of contributions to this country before the establishment of the Chinese Empire, they even gave up their own business and moved their families to help Wang Sirui, as long as Wang Sirui needed it, they would do everything they could to do it, and even pass on the position of patriarch to him.

is not crowned king, in fact, Wang Sirui has his own considerations, throughout the ages, how many countries have declined because of the turmoil in the royal family?

It is simple to be crowned king, as long as Wang Sirui says a word, in the matter of dividing his own family, let alone the ministers, even the people in the world, no one will object.

But Wang Sirui just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to completely block this mouth.

In Wang Sirui's thoughts, there can only be one king, that is, the predecessor of the prince, that is to say, in Wang Sirui's plan, if any prince is crowned king, then it means that he has entered the assessment list, and if Wang Sirui can be satisfied, then he will be named the prince to inherit the unification.

The other princes can only bear the name of a royal family, which can solve the problems caused by the internal strife of the royal family to the greatest extent in history.

Of course, there is another problem, which is also one of the reasons why Wang Sirui is unwilling to be crowned king.

That is the huge Wang family, the Wang family, although it is not a top family in China, but in their base camp Henan, it is the top three families.

And has a close relationship with the Taiyuan Wang family, according to the genealogical records, they moved from Taiyuan to Henan during the Qianlong period, and the Taiyuan Wang family has been in contact with the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Taiyuan Wang family has not given them this line of support.

It is even said that without the support of the Taiyuan royal family, there would be no such thing as their lineage.

If you insist on being crowned king, not to mention anything else, the patriarch of the Taiyuan royal family will at least occupy a throne.

It is their lineage, there are hundreds of people, hundreds of people in a side branch family, is it a lot? Not much, but what if all these hundreds of people are immediate family members within three generations? That's a lot.

In fact, Wang Sirui had told his grandfather and father about this problem before, and the two of them also said that they would respect Wang Sirui's decision, after all, they could carry forward the Wang family and become one of the three giants of the Henan family, and they still had a strategic vision, and they knew very well why Wang Sirui did this.

Although Wang Sirui refused to be crowned king for his family, he was still not stingy with the title or something.

The credit of the family, although it is not to be crowned king, but it is more than enough to be knighted.

According to the new title system, the title is divided into five classes: viscount, baron, marquis, earl, duke, etc., and there is no subdivision of the first or second class or anything, only five ranks, correspondingly, also represent the preciousness of each title.

Wang Sirui's grandfather and father were named Taizu Gong and Su En Gong respectively, the uncles were named earls and marquis respectively, some brothers were named marquis barons, and the juniors were only named one viscount.

It was divided according to the previous merits, and the nephew of the family, who was one year older than Wang Sirui, was knighted by Wang Sirui because he had been running around with the elders of the family before, constantly looking for and purchasing some military supplies for Wang Sirui, and it had been the same for several years in a row.

It's just that among the hundreds of direct relatives, there are only less than twenty knights, which is still relatively small.

After sealing the family, it is natural that the three armies should be rewarded.

The commanders of the four major group armies, plus Duan Qirui, the commander-in-chief of artillery, these five were named marquises, this title is actually not small at all, think about Li Hongzhang, who is in power, is only a marquis when he dies, of course, in history, Li Hongzhang was posthumously named an earl by the imperial court after his death, and this is also the case in reality, but it is Wang Sirui who posthumously awarded him.

The people below are still very clear about this matter, so when these five were made marquises, no one felt that the reward was too low.

Further down, because the number of knights is too much, Wang Sirui did not read them out one by one, but the eunuch read out the names of people who were named barons and above, and the viscounts below did not read it at all, and finally Wang Sirui stamped his seal in public and announced that these people officially had the title.

The military occupies 80 percent of these newly promoted aristocrats, and there are nearly 100 of them, and the lowest position is an ordinary soldier who is still studying at the Army Staff College, and since joining the army, this soldier has killed more than 40 enemies, which is the soldier who has killed the most enemies in the army.

According to the past practice, such military exploits are not enough to be knighted, but after all, this is the founding period of the country, and the imperial court must also use this way to encourage the three armies, so this one became the lucky one. Although it is only a viscount, it is also a great honor for an ordinary soldier.

"Kung Bao, how are the preparations for the court?" The ceremony was about to end, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Sirui asked about Yuan Shikai.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the new department of the court to the ministers, at least to let them understand the nature of the court, so that they would not feel wronged if they made mistakes in the future.

"Your Majesty, the minister has made a specific plan, within a month, the talent selection work can be started, the fastest can be formed within half a year, and within ten years, the courts can be all over the country." Yuan Shikai walked out of the team and reported.

"Well, the framework of the Supreme Court is set up first, and people can be trained slowly, but we must not be a little, I would rather use 20 years to complete it, and never allow a moth to enter the court system." Wang Sirui admonished again, and then continued to speak: "As the first president of the Supreme Court, you can explain your duties to all of you. ”

"Minister, remember Your Majesty's warning!" Yuan Shikai nodded heavily, when Wang Sirui proposed this matter to him, he felt a little whimsical, but then he thought about it carefully, if it can really be implemented, then the prestige of the royal family will be unshakable, which can buy people's hearts more than any tax exemption.

After thanking Wang Sirui, Yuan Shikai turned around, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then continued to explain: "The court, as the name suggests, is a department that handles all kinds of cases, according to His Majesty's instructions, the court will be a completely independent department, not subject to the government's control, county-level courts, only under the leadership of the municipal, provincial and Supreme courts. In principle, the lower court is only responsible to the higher court, but the higher court has no right to interfere in the hearing of the case.

The court is divided into two parts: civil and criminal, civil refers to all litigation in non-criminal cases, and the applicant for litigation can be ordinary people or local officials. In the same way, people can also file a lawsuit against the government in court. In principle, whoever files the lawsuit will present the evidence, and the court will only decide the case based on the evidence.

It is also to ensure judicial fairness, so the court will not be under the leadership of the government, and the Supreme Court is only responsible to His Majesty. Of course, if the people have enough evidence, it is okay to sue His Majesty, but they need to go to the Supreme Court to file an application. ”

'Buzz ......'

Yuan Shikai's words made the court talk about it, this court is too child's play, right? Even if the people can sue the government, they can even sue the emperor? What the hell is this? It's something that hasn't happened since ancient times.

"Criminal, that is, all kinds of crimes, by the local criminal police responsible for arresting, collecting evidence, submitted to the court inspection division, after the evidence is sufficient, will be prosecuted by the prosecutor, if sentenced to death, the case must be transferred to the Supreme Court as a whole, by the Supreme Court after examination and approval, submitted to His Majesty for approval, before the execution."
