Chapter 55 Extension of the Legal System
Guo Qian thanked Wang Bian, and hurriedly went back to inform the preparations, and Wang Bian was a little more sure of winning the Keju competition between the palaces. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is still a month to go before the Tongtian Festival, and Wang Bian believes that with Guo Qian's current drill, as long as he gives a little guidance after analysis, he can grasp the weaknesses in the way of Keju in the Song Dynasty and beat the opponent to the ground.
The king rested for a while, and it was already getting dark. Having already eaten dinner with the two ladies, Su Xiaomei said, "In addition, my brother's student named Qin Guan came here today. He sent a letter saying that his father-in-law's mortgage deferment had been completed. He also gave some gifts, I remember that the prince said that most of the money owed to him by the king of the county would not be returned to him, and he was pitiful, so I confiscated the gifts he gave. ”
"Well, in the future, we will not accept any gifts, so as not to make people short." The king said approvingly.
"Of course, I heard that his father-in-law had already set off, saying that he would raise money as soon as possible to redeem the mansion. In short, he can't afford to offend the county king, and it's not easy to buy an official! Su Xiaomei seemed to sigh a little when she said it.
Wang Bi disagreed, this Xu Liang was also looking for himself, he said to his little sister: "The cost of being an official is high, so most people who buy officials will be greedy." If this Xu Liang is not greedy, then it can be regarded as his accumulation of virtue. I hope he can remember this lesson and think less crookedly in the future, otherwise the gains will really outweigh the losses. ”
As he spoke, the king had almost finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the towel handed by the maid and wiped his mouth: "You eat slowly, and I'll go out in a while." ”
"Lord Wang, do you still want to go out so late?" Su Xiaomei and Rou'er asked in unison.
"Tomorrow the Holy Lord will summon Mr. Hou, and I will go to see how he is preparing later. Rest early, don't worry too much about the affairs of the house. ”
Hearing the thoughtful words of the king, Su Xiaomei and Rou'er were in a warm mood, Su Xiaomei sighed and said: "Our body is heavy, and it is inconvenient to go out, but it is a pity that you have a proposal in the court today, saying that you want to try the case publicly, and allow the family members of the officials to do what jury?" Such a fun thing, we have this pregnancy and can't go? ”
Seeing that the little sister asked herself, Wang said with a smile: "You two are about to become mothers, and you are still playful." The public trial is a matter of human life, so should you watch the show? You, give me an honest baby, and don't run around. Su Xiaomei made a grimace when she heard this.
Lu Shenyan pushed the door and walked into the room, and when he saw Wang Bian walking towards the door, he stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, Li Shen from Kaifeng Mansion is here, and he is now waiting for you in the study." ”
Lu Shenyan led the way with a lantern, and the two of them walked to the front yard. Lu Shenyan reported as he walked: "The settlement yard for Deyun Club has been cleaned up, and they can move in tomorrow." ”
"Good! I asked Han Derong to explain to Master Guo the time of the training ground, and is there a large vacant mansion behind the palace? ”
"Yes! There is an open space, such a big palace, and then use the back, the place is too big, and it takes time to walk a pillar of incense back and forth. ”
If a stick of incense were converted to the current time, it would take about fifty or sixty minutes. It is more abstract to say how big the palace is and how many mansions there are, but after walking for nearly an hour, this place is really not small.
Wang said with a smile: "Then you have walked around this day, isn't there only walking left?" ”
"But it's not, you don't see that I'm about to become a scud, and now I have to walk a few miles every day, if you use all the places behind the house, you will have to call everyone for half a day."
Wang Bian pondered Lu Shenyan and said yes, now it takes half a pillar of incense to pass people to see him, and he can't afford to spend this time. He suddenly stopped, looking at the ground in front of him and behind him. In addition to the winding corridor, the passage between the courtyards of the palace is a new stone road, which he found that the ground is very flat.
"Lord Wang, what's missing?" Lu Shenyan also lifted it around.
"Nothing's gone, tomorrow you find a craftsman, both carpenter and blacksmith!" The king said as he continued on his way.
Lu Shenyan hurriedly walked a few steps to follow the king: "Hehe, I'm sure you have some new tricks." Tell me, what do you want to do? ”
"You'll know when you make it!" Wang was amused in his heart, although the things to be done were fun, but beginners would definitely be smashed.
At night, the brightly lit hall of the palace looks a little empty. The family in charge of taking care of the office building saw Wang next to him and saluted respectfully, and Wang next and Lu Shenyan went up the stairs to the second floor. Hou Shuxian's room was still lit, and when he heard the footsteps of the stairs, Cai Jing came out of the room to greet him: "Lord Wang!" You're coming. ”
The king stood at the corner of the stairs and asked, "How is it?" Did you think of something that made you think? ”
Cai Jing walked up to the king: "I already have an idea, I'm waiting for you to discuss." ”
"Okay, Li Shen of Kaifeng Mansion is here, and I will ask you to talk to you later." The king said as he walked towards the third floor.
In the reception room next to the study next to Wang on the third floor, there was the sound of two people talking, He Zhu was chatting with Li Shen in the room, Wang pushed the door into the room, and the two of them hurriedly got up and saluted.
Wang Pan and Li Shen were polite, the guests and hosts took their seats, and He Zhu and Lu Shenyan withdrew from the room. Lu Shenyan instructed his subordinates to bring fruit and tea to the room again, and He Zhu sat in his seat in the hall, holding a book and reading.
"Qingchen, I'll tell you good news......" Lu Shenyan finished his work, sat opposite He Zhu, and said mysteriously.
He Zhu glanced up at Lu Shenyan: "Manager Lu, what good news?!" ”
"Your dad is coming back!"
"Really?!" He Zhu grinned happily when he heard this.
Lu Shenyan frowned, although this child was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was too ugly. Not only is it dark, but the eyebrow bones and eyes are very prominent. It's better to look at it during the day, but look at it under the lights at night, especially this grinning tooth, if it's not someone close to you, I'm afraid it can really startle.
"You, don't laugh, it's true! The prince asked him to take care of the mansion behind the palace, saying that he would go back and rearrange it, and that he would slowly transfer all the people who went to Yongzhou back. Moreover, the prince also said that you are all old, and you will slowly have your own house. Alas, it's really fast, you are all fourteen or fifteen, and I was married to the tiger lady when I was your age. ”
He Zhu felt that he was happy that his father could come back, but he was not interested in the later topics, he grinned and continued to look down at the book.
Lu Shenyan looked at the book He Zhu was reading: "Don't look at these, it's useless." Wang Ye said that this year's scientific examination should be eclectic and talented, rote memorization is useless, and we must learn to integrate it! ”
He Zhu turned around with the book and ignored Lu Shenyan. Lu Shenyan said to himself: "It's really like what the prince does, during the scientific examination, the etiquette of the palace, the training of the family, and the deployment of the maids." Maybe I can get the right and be crowned a big official. ”
He Zhu put down the book and said with a smile: "Then Chief Lu doesn't need to participate in the scientific examination, with you following the prince in the palace for so many years, you may be able to be a chief eunuch if you directly purify yourself." ”
"Phew! Stinky boy! Lu Shenyan waved his fist and laughed: "You kid is a good learner, what about Tong Guan?" Isn't Michio supposed to be on duty today? ”
He Zhu hurriedly gestured with a boo: "Don't let the prince hear, the young prince is out, let me take his place for a while!" ”
Lu Shenyan looked at He Zhu with a suspicious face, when did Tong Guan start to sneak out of the house? And you won't let the king know?
In the living room of the study, Li Shen was discussing the jury with Wang, and when the dynasty was dispersed today, Li Shen wanted to talk to Wang, but those ministers were all around Wang, and Li Shen couldn't get forward at all.
Wang explained the procedures and steps of the public trial to Li Shen in detail, and Li Shen nodded while listening. After listening to Li Shen, he asked: "The prince can always think about problems one step ahead of others, and when I heard the prince's thoughts in the court today, I was thinking, I'm afraid this is just the first step for the prince to the legal system." ”
This is a bit of a stop Wang Pan, to be honest, when he was in the court, he was just going to establish a standard, as for what the first step would develop into or even later, Wang Pan really didn't think so much. However, since Li Shen said so, and said it seriously, as if after repeated pondering, Wang Fang did not want to disappoint him. What's more, if Li Shen came up with a lot of extended questions on this, wouldn't he, the reformer who raised the questions, fall behind?
The king smiled slyly, and then asked, "Then what does Qingchen think I will do next?" ”
Li Shen said thoughtfully: "When Prime Minister Bao Cheng was in Kaifeng Mansion, he rarely used heavy punishments, and the reason why Prime Minister Bao was praised by people was mostly related to his in-depth investigation and research so that the unjust case could be revealed. I think, if the prince proposes the jury method, will the jury also participate in the investigation of the case in the future? ”
Wang was said by Li Shen with a flash of inspiration, and he praised: "Qingchen, who knows me, I do have the next idea." But it was not the jury that participated in the investigation, after all, they were not official observations (observation, another name for Song Dynasty arrest). If the imperial court can legislate to prohibit officials from extorting confessions by torture, then there must be supervision over officials, and the jury is the best supervision group. The conviction of a suspect must be ironclad, and the suspect can also ask for a defense, and finally look at the evidence of both sides to decide. Isn't this more open, fair, and just? ”
Li Shen smiled when he heard this: "I know that the prince is definitely not a chess move, and the legislation prohibits torture to extract confessions, and I am the first to agree!" ”
Wang Bei let out a sigh of relief, and finally reacted quickly, and he found more and more that with the improvement of his status and status, many things that he couldn't think of, others would also help him, and then remember them all on himself. Good things are true, and who knows if bad things are the same? Fortunately, he was no longer surprised, and he said with a smile: "Then ask Qingchen to draft the recital, the sooner this matter is implemented, the better." ”
"Okay, I'll do it when I get back. There is another matter for me today, the prince said that it is best for the jury to have people who resign and return to their hometowns, and I want to nominate one person, but I don't know if he is willing to return to the capital to ....... ”
