Gou Shen smiled lightly and said: "There are some things in this world, although you know that you can't do it, but you have to do it, and it has nothing to do with whether you are sure or not. ”

"We don't do it, there are always people who do it, not to mention, on the matter of prison, Tingwei Shi Lu Wenshu even gave advice to the emperor, which means that it is not only the two of us who have this awareness, maybe there are people who are ready to write to the emperor to discuss this matter, but we are just one step ahead."

"The county order is far-sighted, Chen Tang, I can't be ashamed."

After listening to Chen Tang's words, Gou Shen said: "Okay, don't mention this matter, the official invited the county lieutenant to come, and there is one more thing to ask for." ”

Chen Tang hurriedly said: "If there is something in the county order, just give orders, of course Chen Tang is worried about the county order." ”

Gou Shen nodded: "Okay, Gou Shen wants to ask Brother Chen to catch the pen, let's give another letter to the Son of Heaven." ”

Chen Tang always wanted to be calm and capable in front of Gou Shen, but when he heard that Gou Shen would have the words to write down again, he couldn't calm down again.

Gou Shen said: "It's still the same sentence, since the content of the book written by Tingwei Shi Lu Wenshu to His Majesty is similar to ours, that is, people with this kind of consciousness should still exist in the whole Han country, so let's make persistent efforts, strike while the iron is hot, and tell the emperor something that others don't realize, or haven't mentioned yet." ”

Gou Shen said here and smiled again: "Your Majesty encourages us to do a good job, then we will do a good job for Your Majesty." ”

Speaking of this, Gou Shen looked at Chen Tang, Chen Tang saw that he didn't speak, so he looked up at Gou Shen, and Gou Shen suddenly smiled: "Brother Chen, the opportunity is earned, and if you have talent, you must show it, otherwise the pearl is hidden in the dust, when will people be able to discover the dazzling light of the pearl?" ”

Chen Tang lowered his head again, Gou Shen stopped looking at him, and turned back to the back of the case.

Chen Tang Zhilu said that his gratitude to Gou Shen had evolved into a blind follower, and he had a strange feeling that this person who called himself a "little minister" to the emperor would also cause a shock in the emperor's heart this time.

……

In Weiyang Palace, Chang'an, Emperor Liu Xun quickly received the second letter from Yingshui County since he took office.

This time, Gou Shen was decent in his admonition, and he no longer called himself a minister.

Gou Shen's second letter made Liu Xun fall into deep thought.

Gou Shen said in this recital: "Chen Gou Shen bowed to the Han Emperor: The minister noticed that the Han criminal law has not changed since Gaozu, and the minister consulted the case, and in the past, only during the period of Emperor Wen killed fewer people for crimes and punishments every year. ”

"The criminal laws are still those criminal laws, so why does this kind of murder sometimes occur when there are more and sometimes less? Could it be that in the Han Dynasty, except for the reign of Emperor Wen, the people of the rest of the emperors were scrambling to commit crimes and be beheaded? ”

Seeing this, Liu Xun frowned again, Zhongshu Ling Shixian and Shangshu Ling Honggong also didn't know what the little county magistrate of Yingshui County said to the emperor this time, but seeing that the emperor began to hit the case with his fingers again, the emperor should be happy.

"In fact, the law is still those articles, but the perpetrator applies the criminal law lightly when judging the case on the way to use it."

"Therefore, according to the minister's humble opinion, the human factor is very important."

"For His Majesty's will to let Tingwei establish Tingweiping, the minister thinks it is good, and His Majesty attaches importance to the law, then the law will inevitably change, but the minister thinks that although Tingweiping and these four people are to be promoted to be virtuous people, but if the four of them have an error, because of their personal quality and knowledge, qualifications, and level, they have a wrong judgment on the case, so who will supervise and correct the mistakes of these four people?"

"To sum up, the minister thinks that letting Tingwei revise the law again, reduce the provisions of the law from the root of the law, reduce the death penalty, completely reduce the degree of sentencing, and change the procedure for adjudicating cases, so that in the long run, it will solve the judicial malpractice, and it will also be a measure of long-term peace and stability."

"Those four Tingweiping, too much power, too much responsibility, no one to supervise them is not good, at the beginning they may be conscientious and fair, but after a long time, I wonder if they will change their original intention of serving the public?"

"This problem has just been thought of by the ministers, and if there is anything wrong, please ask the emperor to give an edict."

"Minister: Gou Shen bowed to the emperor in Yingshui County."

Liu Xun had just finished reading Gou Shen's book, and at this moment, Huang Menlang outside came in in with a panicked expression, knelt down and opened his mouth to play: "Your Majesty, the prime minister vomited blood, and suddenly fell unconscious. ”

"What?"

When Liu Xun heard this, he stood up: "Order the imperial doctor to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to diagnose the Prime Minister." ”

Liu Xun paced a few steps in the hall, and then said, "Swing, I want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a look." ”

In Chang'an City, Prime Minister Bing Ji's illness touched the nerves of every official.

As the prime minister Bing Ji, who saved his life and nurtured Emperor Liu Xun, he has always been a very low-key and very quiet character.

Bing Ji was very sober, he knew that he had never read many books, nor did he have any lofty vision, he always felt that he was nothing more than when he was the prison director of Tingwei Prison, and he did something that a person with a conscience could do: he rescued Liu Xun Liu, who was waiting to be fed.

Bing Ji told Liu Xun that no matter whether the prince at that time wanted to rebel against Emperor Wu Liu Che, Liu Xun, who was still babbling, was not guilty, what could a nursing child do to the emperor in Weijiahai? What threat could it pose?

What's more, this kid is still the orthodox blood of the Liu family.

Bing Ji's words were very simple, which made Liu Xun burst into tears at that time.

No one can know that this child named Liu Aiji, who had no father and no mother, became the supreme emperor of the Han Dynasty more than ten years later.

Where there is a cause, there is an effect, and if the effect is the effect, there must be a fate.

Liu Xun asked Bing Ji to be the prime minister, Bing Ji knew that the emperor was repaying the kindness, repaying the kindness of more than ten years of nurturing, Bing Ji had gone to Weiyang Palace more than once to meet Liu Xun, saying that he was not the prime minister at all, but Liu Xun was not allowed.

Liu Xun said, I am the emperor, I want you to be the prime minister, you should be, who dares to say anything? Let him come to me!

Bing Ji reluctantly became the prime minister, he generally does not express his opinion on official affairs, he is cautious, he does not offend others, and of course no one dares to offend him inexplicably.

Bing Ji is very good to everyone, whether it is to ordinary people or to the three princes and nine kings.

Bing Ji believes that a person should be content, contented and happy, he has become the leader of all the officials in the Han Kingdom, and in this life, he raised a person to become an emperor, what regrets are there in this life?

There are no regrets in this life.
