Chapter 841 Lion and Tiger Party Fight: The endless crooked building Xiangyang before the end of the road was wrapped in a strange aura, which was both scorching and cold. 1 -- This breath will spread to Tokyo again, stirring the hearts of the people of the government and the wilderness.

Duan Lindong, the leader of the Eastern People's Court, issued a mildly worded statement to various newspapers in Xiangyang, emphasizing that this was still a period of national mourning, and asked the government hall to observe the public opinion and reassure the people, and at the same time, the court should also judge the case reasonably, and everyone should work together to stabilize the country.

Ordinary people only think that the Eastern Court is petitioning, but those who understand government affairs can understand that this is the Eastern Court threatening the political affairs hall, and at the same time forcing the court to express its position, salute first and then soldier, and wait for the other party to respond.

As soon as the new Hubei Provincial Inspector Hang Shijun arrived in Xiangyang, he was surrounded by the newspaper's quick pen questioners, and Hang Shijun's speech was very concise: "Judge the case according to law." Then he sat in the Xiangyang Court, commanded the Xiangyang Patrol and the Gucheng General Judgment, and followed the process according to the regulations, without the consciousness of being in the eye of the storm at all.

In Tokyo, the government hall was immersed in a gloomy atmosphere, and most of the ministers attending the regular meeting had heavy faces.

Chen Wance said: "The Western Court is still arguing, and it is estimated that a conclusion will be reached today, and the most recent time is to echo the East Court and engage in the case of the lawyer entering the military state." ”

Xue Xue shook her head: "Even if the law is to be changed, the law will not be traced, the Hexi case and the Wang case will have to be handled as before, the two courts are very ambitious, and I am worried about another matter." ”

Shi Yizhi frowned: "I am most worried that the Eastern Court and even the people will follow suit and throw themselves in, and then the court will have to retreat." ”

Chen Wance was a little irritable: "Is Your Majesty still sitting and watching the situation?" ”

Fan Jin on the side has always been there, and when he heard this, he smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is sitting and stirring up the storm......"

There was silence in the hall for a while, and then Chen Wance said, "I see...... It is better to let Gucheng County withdraw the Manchu Qing secret espionage charges of the Hexi people, let Hang Shijun drag Wang Blind to surrender, and wait for His Majesty to redefine the law and procedure with the East and West Courts and us, and then sentence Wang Blind's case. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and the capital could only be like this. Chen Wance's words were already admitting defeat, and the court and even the entire bureaucracy took a step back. Surrender the criminal law of militaristic cases. In everyone's opinion, the current situation was pushed by the emperor, and the emperor must also be knocking on the court, and even let the two courts further grasp the legal power.

Since the establishment of both houses. Not only did they hold the power to determine finance and taxation, but they also fought for legal power step by step, and the pattern of bureaucratic governance in the old dynasty was long gone. However, after all, the two courts still play the role of subordinates and elbows, and in criminal and civil matters, the government affairs hall and the local government still regard the regulations and processes they operate as laws and regulations, and it is difficult for the two courts to be contaminated.

However, the trend of the Anglo-Chinese National Congress is obvious, and the division of powers between the two chambers is becoming more and more powerful. Twenty years since the founding of the country. The General Law of Taxation was divided between the two chambers, which gave it the power to determine national and local taxes. Through the Financial Law, the Trade Regulations, the Customs Law and other laws and regulations, the Western Court has seized the legal power of finance, industry and commerce, and foreign trade. The Eastern People's Court used the "Relief Law", "Pumeng Law" and other laws to encroach on social legal rights.

Naturally, all the princes of the political affairs hall can see this trend clearly, and they have no intention of going against the current trend, but there are different opinions on whether this tide should be urgent or slow. Whether it is out of their own position, to maintain the authority of the government, or to feel that the process is too fast. It is not beneficial to the country, most people can delay this general trend, and now the emperor is at the juncture of Duan Guoshi's death. As for the promotion of the Hexi case and the Wang case, it was obvious that they wanted to speed up this general trend, and Chen Wance and the others saw this clearly, so Chen Wance proposed that the political affairs hall lead the bureaucrats to make technical concessions in exchange for peace between the two houses and the government.

Seeing that everyone nodded, even Shi Yizhi, who was in charge of the legal judgment, had no objection, but Xue Xue said loudly: "No!" Detailed affairs can be manipulated by power, but how can national political regulations allow power and conspiracy to be perfunctory? The two houses can coerce the will of the people today to seize the power of the law, and tomorrow they can coerce the will of the people to cause chaos in a country! I Yinghua is a land of thousands of miles. Billions of people are formed, and national politics also has its own way of heaven. Only when the government governs can we understand this way. ”…,

He glanced at everyone, and his tone was extremely resolute: "Even if the government wants to retreat, it must draw a line and set regulations!" ”

Don't wait for everyone to figure it out. Chen Wance frowned and said, "How can this matter be regarded as a battlefield, and the winner must be decided?" At that time, I am afraid that things will escalate even more, and it will be out of control, which must not be what His Majesty wants. ”

Xue Xue snorted coldly: "If Your Majesty only intended to be peaceful, he should have spoken at the beginning to calm down the matter, but he has not made a sound until now, I am afraid that he will let the two courts and the government decide the victory or defeat, at least determine the ranking." That being the case, our government hall should lead the government and do our best to follow the system, and we can no longer delay with power! ”

Chen Wance changed color slightly, but smiled regretfully: "Shengbai, big changes are coming, you are still thinking about local small profits......"

Previously, due to the Hexi case, the two factions of Xue and Chen temporarily joined forces and formed the government as one to fight against the people. And now the blind man Wang made a strange move and drove the two courts to pounce, and the emperor sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and it seemed that he was still pushing the two courts to continue to get the legal power. The original tacit understanding was broken, and the two had disagreements again. In Chen Wance's view, Xue Xue's insistence is afraid that he still has to protect the original interests.

Xue Xue didn't make an excuse, but also smiled regretfully.

Just as he was saying this, the counselor of the West Courtyard of the Political Affairs Hall came in, handed over a document, and sighed: "The country is not at peace!" ”

In the eyes of everyone's surprised and expectant eyes, Xue Xue opened the paperwork, her face changed continuously, and finally said hatefully: "The desire is hard to fill!" ”

The documents were passed to the ministers one by one, and each time they passed by, they either snorted angrily or soaked, and after a while, the political hall was filled with an unspeakable resentment, and even Fan Jin shook his head with a wry smile.

This document is a bill just passed by the Western Yuan, entitled "Petition for the Legislative Yuan's Right to Matter."

What is it talking about, just one thing: the merits of the court, the court members of the two courts of the West Court enjoy special treatment, and they must not be detained for interrogation or charged with certain crimes before they are removed from their status as court members. And the power of the identity of the Revolutionary Court is in the hands of the two houses, oh, there must be an emperor.

The reason for the Western Court is also very sufficient, otherwise it will not be able to uphold the righteousness and ask for the people's life, otherwise it will be coerced and lured by the bureaucracy and become a vassal of the government.

For example, before the criminal detention and interrogation, it was learned that the academy was dismissed from the academy, or the official status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Juren also enjoyed scholarships, and officials also had the care of loose officials and knights, but compared with the old dynasty, these treatments were not too obvious privileges, and it was impossible to avoid certain crimes.

Now that the Western Yuan has taken advantage of the case of Wang Blind to make such a big article and wants to elevate the status of the court affairs above the bureaucrats, it is no wonder that the cabinet ministers are full of anger and regard these court affairs as reactionaries who are vainly trying to restore them.

The West Courtyard was so bold suddenly. Not only is there the reason why Wang is blind, but perhaps the emperor is sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, so because he has the courage to try, everyone has a lot of discussions. Before the anger subsided, the counselor of the Eastern Court came with news from the Eastern Court, saying that the case of the Western Court had also been widely recognized by the Eastern Court, and the case filing process was being initiated.

It's serious...... It's so serious that it's almost a line worse than a country falling apart.

Originally, the two courts had already held the power of taxation, and the "General Law of the Imperial English Tax" was used to control the increase and decrease of national and local taxes, and this power made the two courts one level higher than the government in legal theory. If Yinghua is compared to a company, the two houses are the directors. The government is the deacon or the treasurer.

It's just that this legal principle is not a general righteousness that everyone in the country understands and accepts, after all, Yinghua is a country, not a simple company, how to collect taxes, how to run the national government, and how to balance the justice in the hearts of the people, which can only be done or supervised by the government, and a country's imperial examination is prosperous. Talented people have the heart to become bureaucrats and govern the country, so the government is still one level higher than the two chambers of power. And it's also a pillar. For many years, the election of the two houses was far less lively than the imperial examination, and we know the difference between the two and the second. Ordinary people still regard the two courts as part of the government, and regard the affairs of the court as officials such as imperial history.

Now that the two courts are about to seize this righteousness, Xue Xue patted the case and said: "This is the decisive battle!" Whether it depends on whether the two houses are above the government or the government is above the two houses, this battle will have to determine a name! ”

Fan Jin had a new understanding: "Yes, whether it is selected or examined." ”

The two chambers are elected, and the bureaucrats are selected by scientific examination. Now that the two courts are blatantly trying to call themselves temples, this is of course a decisive battle.

But if you think about it deeply, the ministers are almost drenched in cold sweat, is this the emperor's plan? This is the eternal system condensed by the emperor? If that's the case, this government, this cabinet. Even the government is just a servant, and talented and ambitious people have to go to the two courts.

Wu Yaluo snorted coldly: "No matter how you came up, if you were the old official master, if Your Majesty was still the fourth brother back then, you would never agree!" ”

Shi Yizhi sighed: "How did things come to this point......

At first, it was just a bureaucratic party dispute caused by the Wuxi Straight Road Incident, and then it was escalated into a dispute between the government and the people by the Hexi tragedy, and then the blind man Wang crooked the building, and the Eastern Court intervened, which became a dispute for legal power. Now the West Courtyard has even pulled the matter into the dispute over the status and reputation of the two courts and the government, all the way down the building, and the Yinghua power structure, that is, the so-called "temple", has a deep crack pulled out from the bottom all the way to the top floor that has not yet been built.

The reason why the building can be crooked and cracked is naturally that the foundation has not been fused together, and the upper floor has not been built.

At the end of November of the 19th year of the Holy Dao, the relevant events and the attitude of the government and the two houses were widely spread through the newspapers, and the hearts of the people of the whole country seemed to be in chaos.

The Temple of Heaven in Tokyo and Nanjing, as well as the open spaces and streets in the provincial capitals, are crowded with people and banners.

"The county is the county! Return to the house! ”

"How can the Great Wall be divided, how can the canal be intercepted?"

This is the person who is still staring at the matter of Wuxi Straight Road, and the party struggle between the two factions of Xue and Chen has also spread to the people.

"The government is not allowed to cover the sky and frame the people!"

This is the person who pays attention to the Hexi tragedy and cares about whether justice is being served.

"The thief of the country, the thief of the hook is punished, and the traitor is only in the government!"

This is a person who supports Wang Shishen and does not want the people to be wantonly bullied by the government again.

"There is a golden house in the ticket, and there is Yan Ruyu in the ticket......"

"It has to be chosen for a while, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, the official of the official, and Donglin reappears......"

This is a zealous career, satirizing the Western Academy's attempt to seize the position of bureaucrat.

"Sages are selected, not examined!"

These are people who are dissatisfied with the bureaucratic rule created by the imperial examination and feel that the election is in line with the will of the people.

By December, the "19-year national dispute" had made the people like headless flies, and public opinion like rootless wanderers.

"The country is in danger...... The Taoist system has fallen, the righteousness is scattered, the way of heaven is ethereal, and the way of heaven is unkind. No way out! ”

In the "Orthodox" newspaper, the "country has no peace and the day Ai Yin Zhen" spewed smoke, bluntly saying that the British way is dead.

It's a pity that no one wants to go back to the old road, and the government and the opposition continue to walk forward, hoping that there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and on the other hand, hoping that the emperor who has set off to Xi'an will cut a road.
