Chapter VI: Fairness and Justice

Mulan paddock? Ye Zhao frowned slightly.

The southern boundary of the Mulan Enclosure is not far from the Rehe Palace, which is the largest closed royal hunting ground in the country, also known as "Xiwei". The water and grass here are abundant, the birds and beasts breed, it was the hunting place of the Liao Emperor, the Kangxi enclosure set up a paddock, it is not only the royal hunting ground, in fact, it is the place of military training, the place where the soldiers of the Eight Banners practice riding and archery.

The whole enclosure covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, to the time when the six kings ascended the throne, it began to reclaim, allowing idle flag people to reclaim the paddock wasteland, because of the frequent wars, improper disposal, making the reclamation extremely chaotic, responsible for the measurement of the Rehe Yu Branch General Administration privately granted, to see the filial piety of the silver or the amount of large or small amount of enlargement, but also caused a lot of fighting.

When he arrived in the new dynasty, Ye Zhao immediately ordered the governor of Rehe, Prime Minister Tan Zhonglin, to take care of the reclamation affairs, and set up the Mulan Enclosure Wood Machinery Bureau, and set up the minister of the enclosure to manage the "Thousand Miles of Pine Forest" and the surrounding grassland, and at the same time arrested the private gangs and private armed forces who took advantage of the war to cut down trees to collect money.

This primeval forest was cut down at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and what later generations saw was an artificial forest.

The Mulan Enclosure Wood Machinery Bureau will adopt a more balanced approach to the management of the forest farm.

Of course, the besieged cities that can be reclaimed after surveys are still being reclaimed, and it is ridiculous to consider protecting nature now, and when the grain yield per mu cannot be qualitatively improved, the farmland that can be reclaimed will naturally have to be reclaimed.

However, for the protection of the ecological environment of the forest farm, Ye Zhao can be said to have opened a historical precedent and is truly the first person in the world.

The enclosure reclamation because of the dispute left by the previous dynasty, Ye Zhao knew that it was more chaotic, and there was a fight last month, which was a problem left over from history, although Ye Zhao was not too harsh, but he also complained that Tan Zhonglin and Wang Jingyou were ineffective.

Now I heard this Zheng woman say that there was a tragedy?

"You didn't go to the Procuratorate? Governor's yamen complaint? Ye Zhao frowned and asked. According to the inspection system, that is, the legal affairs institutes at all levels under the Dali Yuan, the province is the procuratorate, the government is the procuratorate, and the county is the sub-division.

Zheng said with a sad face: "Officials and officials protect each other, it can't be done, lord, please, you let me meet the imperial concubine, please, I beg you." Tears rained down, kowtowing again and again, it could be seen that in her opinion, she was desperate, and even had no love, keeping this life, just wanting to avenge her relatives.

Ye Zhao sighed softly, turned around and instructed Gong E: "Take it and take a bath, find a body to change into clothes." ”

Chunhong and another little maid should be.

Songhezhai, there are green pine and white cranes outside, so it gets its name.

Through the propped up paper window, watching the pure white red-crowned cranes strolling among the lawn gardens, Ye Zhao stood quietly, the royal family, if the child grows up in such an environment, the surname will always be sharpened, right? But like the kings of the past dynasties, there are few people who are really noble.

The sound of clogs sounded, and Iori Reedyue came to Ye Zhao's side.

"Got it all inquired, right?" Ye Zhao asked.

Wei Yue Iori presented him a piece of paper, which was the form of the Zheng family, which wrote that the Zheng family and the Zheng Sanzi family were both stone tablets, and they were reclaimed together from the Yujiao General Bureau in the previous dynasty, and two years later, the Zheng family diligently cultivated the fertile land when it was time to harvest, who knew that Zheng Sanzi forcibly occupied the fertile land he developed, and said that all the documents of the previous dynasty could not be counted, and the new dynasty had the rules of the new dynasty, and the new dynasty had the political secretary of the new dynasty, and the new dynasty had rented this piece of land to him Zheng Sanzi.

The Zheng family was not convinced, and there was a fight between the two sides, so Zheng Sanzi found a partner, used a firearm, and washed the Zheng family in blood.

A total of 23 people participated in the bloodbath of the Zheng family, all of whom were militia members of the thousands of households in Rehe. Qianhu, that is, the honorific title of the people of the new dynasty to the consolation envoy.

After reading the situation, Ye Zhao quietly put it away.

"Sir, Chunhong doesn't know the rules......" Iori Weiyue knew that Chunhong was in trouble, and her eyes were a little worried.

Ye Zhao just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal, besides, even if you have a big disaster, am I willing to punish you?" "It's funny after speaking, how can I open my mouth now and talk flatteringly, it's almost indistinguishable, I will lie when I see a girl, which is unprecedented in the emperor's group.

Wei Yue Iori had known about Mr. for a long time, but if Mr. didn't like her, he wouldn't have said anything to her, so he was sweet in his heart and lowered his head gently.

"Let's go, let's go out for a walk and call your new friends." When Ye Zhao said this, his smile was gone.

New friends? Wei Yue Iori was stunned, and then knew that he was talking about the Zheng family.

…… In the luxurious and wide carriage, Ye Zhao and Wei Yue Iori sat on the main seat of the yellow silk cushion, and the Zheng family on the right side was full of doubts, the carriage was extremely wide, and a few more people were afraid that it would still be empty.

500 Royal Horse Guards were walking on the streets of Chengde, and pedestrians avoided the shops or alleys on both sides, and they were all curious to watch.

"Master, you, are you the head of the guard?" Zheng asked uneasily, and did not dare to look directly at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao waved his hand and did not speak. Zheng didn't dare to ask again, and his heart was even more frightened, not knowing where he was taking him.

The carriage stopped, Zheng got out of the car in fear, and then there was a stunned, in front of it was an official office, and on the eaves stood the sacred beast decorated with gilt copper, the pigg, symbolizing the divine beast of fairness and justice, and there was a drum of grievances under the stone platform, which was according to the yamen of the procuratorate.

The piggon is a mythical beast of ancient legends, it is said that its body size is like a cow, and the small one is like a sheep, similar to a unicorn, with thick dark hair all over its body, bright and godly eyes, and usually a horn on its forehead, commonly known as a unicorn. It understands people's words and knows people's surnames, and when it opens its eyes angrily, it can distinguish right from wrong, know good and evil, and be loyal to it. When people have conflicts or disputes, unicorns can point their horns at the unreasonable party, and even put their horns against those who deserve to die, making the offender shudder.

In the new dynasty, the status of the deer was elevated to an unprecedented status, and the Shengde Emperor named it "the god of peace and justice", and the Dali Yuan, the procuratorate, the judge, and the sub-division of the Yamen sculpture in front of the temple to correct the meaning of "pure peace and justice", and made the judges wear the official uniform.

In the previous dynasty, the imperial court used the pigs to supplement the clothes, and the current dynasty was used exclusively for the officials of the inspection system.

"Drumming and complaining." Ye Zhao commanded lightly.

Zheng gritted his teeth and walked up, although he didn't know who this master was, but he must be a very important character, maybe he could really avenge the blood sea today.

The drums sounded, Ye Zhao and Wei Yue Iori walked in surrounded by Ren Qian, Zhao Kaishan and several other guards, and Zheng walked last.

The legal patrol in front of the door saw Ye Zhao's momentum, but he didn't dare to stop him.

Although the yamen of the Northern Prosecutor's Court is still the same as in the past public court, there are also a few long wooden chairs placed below it as seats for hearings.

Ye Zhao and Wei Yue Iori sat on wooden chairs, and several guards carefully sat in front and back, left and right, they followed the emperor in the south to listen to the trial in disguise, knowing that above this court, they must abide by the rules, let alone stand in the hearing seat to disturb the order of the court.

Sitting in the lobby was Qiao Tianxing, the envoy of the Rehe Imperial Court, who was born in the Southern Dynasty and had studied at the Law School of the Royal Guangzhou University.

Qiao Tianxing, who was in his early forties, was originally the deputy envoy of the Guangxi Provincial Procuratorate, but after studying at the law school for three months, it coincided with the gradual pacification of the northern country and the need for a large number of officials to go north, so he was immediately appointed as the envoy of the Rehe Imperial Procuratorate, and arrived two months ago.

Nowadays, even if they are southerners, they don't like to enter the yamen, not to mention the northern part that has just been pacified, and the population of Rehe is not large, so there is no branch court in the city to judge the judge, despite this, Qiao Tianxing can't judge a few cases a day.

Today, Qiao Tianxing, as usual, sat in the government early, and when he was looking through the "Criminal Law of the Chinese Empire", he sounded the drum of grievances, and then saw a large number of people coming in, neither led by the legal patrol, but also seemed to have no lawyer, frowned, but then saw the clothes of this voter, and was immediately taken aback.

Qiao Tianxing hurriedly stood up, and at this time, Ren Qian had already taken two steps, handed over his waist card, and sang loudly: "The emperor has arrived!" The emperor heard the case of Shi Pian Zi Zheng suing Zheng Sanzi! ”

When Qiao Tianxing saw the waist card, how could he still have doubts? hurriedly came down and kowtowed, and several patrolmen were even more stunned, and they all fell to their knees. Qiao Tianxing's heart was up and down, he didn't know why the emperor suddenly came to hear the case, he had heard that the imperial concubine Niangniang had come to the Rehe Palace, but it turned out that the emperor was personally patrolling.

Zheng Shi was struck by lightning, and looked back at Ye Zhao incredulously, forgetting to salute him.

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Get up, in the lobby of this court, I am just the audience, and in the courtroom, the judge is the biggest." ”

"Minister, minister don't dare!" Qiao Tianxing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Ye Zhao frowned slightly: "It's not you, the judge is the biggest, do you understand?" I heard that you did well in law school, why are you so confused? ”

Qiao Tianxing was so frightened that his eyes were full of stars, and his thinking was blank. If you want to say that Ye Zhao may be childish and foolish in front of several wives and concubines, he often makes his wives and concubines so angry that they are helpless and coaxed beyond measure. But in the eyes of outside officials, His Majesty the Emperor, who is mysterious and mighty, is a legend high above him, and a male lord born in response to the fortune of heaven.

Looking at Qiao Tianxing's frightened appearance, Ye Zhao sighed in his heart and said lightly: "Okay, get up, prepare to try the case." ”

Throughout the ages, the Chinese people do not have a "Qingtian complex", and what they look forward to is that the Son of Heaven has observed the suffering of the people, so there are all kinds of operas and legends of the Son of Heaven, in fact, this is just a fairy tale, a naΓ―ve fantasy.

But now, Ye Zhao is ready to let the people of the whole country know that their emperor will make a private visit to eliminate evil and punish him, and this will not be the last time.

Although the national system is fundamental, in this world, the actions of the royal family will undoubtedly unite people's hearts very quickly, and will deter the ugly.

What's more, today's case is actually a typical case today, just like in Yanjing City, it is also a consolation to make a bloody case, and it may even involve the original officials of the Northern Dynasty, and he just wants to stand up and beat their arrogance hard, so that they know the difference between the new dynasty.

Moreover, in this case, he will go through the normal legal procedures, instead of arresting and killing people with thunder and anger, so the positive significance of this to the new dynasty will have a far-reaching impact.
