Chapter 2 Hidden Internal Troubles
This Xiao Yu personally introduced that all the important officials of the Criminal Department in the lobby expressed great enthusiasm for Luo Shixin, and they all patted their chests and promised to support Luo Shixin's work.
Even if it does not include middle- and lower-level officials, it took a while to mainly introduce the key members of the core criminal department. It's past a few o'clock hours, and it's time to start dealing with official business.
The affairs of the six ministries are all related to the operation of the entire state organ of Datang, and they cannot be slackened and stopped.
Xiao Yu had already waited for Luo Shixin, and he knew that they had something to say, so they all began to say goodbye and leave.
Only Liu Dewei turned to Luo Shixin after saying goodbye to Xiao Yu: "What does Lord Shangshu have to say...... Our criminal department is in charge of the law order, the criminal law, the prison sentence, and the government of repetition and prohibition. Do you have any advice on the priorities? ”
Luo Shixin said without hesitation: "Just act as before, if it is not necessary for you to decide on the official documents that have been decided by my hand, the Criminal Department can operate according to the daily operation." ”
Liu Dewei took the order and strode out of the lobby.
Luo Shixin sighed, he didn't know anything about the Criminal Department, he really let him give instructions, nine times out of ten it was a blind man touching an elephant, and he was going to make a lot of jokes.
At this time, only Luo Shixin and Xiao Yu were left in the lobby.
Luo Shixin asked about the situation of Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao.
Xiao Yu happily explained the situation in detail and expressed her gratitude again.
Luo Shixin smiled and said "a gesture", and then expressed his gratitude for his intention today.
What kind of character Xiao Yu is, it is clear that he is here today to repay his peach. With his status and prestige in the Tang Dynasty, he helped Luo Shixin, a rookie in the political field, consolidate his position in the Criminal Department.
With such a thing as today, no one in the entire Criminal Department does not know that the new Shangshu Luo Shixin of the Criminal Department has a close relationship with Xiao Yu, the right servant of the Sixth Minister's Shangshu, the prime minister of the dynasty. Who dares to despise him, the head of the criminal department who has been transferred from the military?
Xiao Yu glanced at Luo Shixin thoughtfully and said, "Luo Shangshu, is this planning to do some work in the Criminal Department?" ”
Luo Shixin said without hesitation: "That's nature, isn't there an old saying, eat the king, share the worries for the king." Since he has become the secretary of the criminal department, he has to continue to do it. I don't know anything now, but I can learn it. Time is there, take your time. You'll figure it out. I'm still young anyway, aren't I? ”
Xiao Yu hesitated: "Then you have already detected Liu Shilang's intentions?" ”
Luo Shixin said strangely: "What is Liu Shilang's intentions? I don't know about that...... I don't have a deep relationship with him, but I don't have any grudges, do I? ”
Xiao Yu was stunned and said, "Then why did you hand over all the qiē to Liu Shilang before?" ”
Luo Shixin smiled calmly: "I don't know how to pretend to understand." It's a rice bucket. I have little contact with this criminal department, before yesterday, I only knew that there was a book in the criminal department called Qu Tutong, who was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty. I fought several battles with my wife in Guanzhong. I don't know anything else. This is to interfere with it, make foreign appearances, make jokes, and reduce its own identity and value. It's better to do nothing, let the officials of their customary system start to deal with it, and wait until I am prepared and have a certain understanding before I get involved, and see the situation to establish my prestige in the criminal department. ”
Xiao Yu stroked his palms and smiled: "Do nothing and rule, Xiao Gui Cao follows." Luo Shangshu is so capable, Yu looks at you differently. He paused. Said: "Shangshu and my Xiao family have a great kindness, within the best of his ability, Yu is willing to help Shangshu." Luo Shangshu doesn't really know the Criminal Department, but are you interested in listening to me in detail? ”
Luo Shixin hurriedly said: "Listen up." ”
Xiao Yu said: "Compared to Luo Shangshu, I don't know why Qu Tutong, the previous Shangshu, dismissed the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, right?" Seeing Luo Shixin, he shook his head and said: "The Criminal Department is a very strict and serious department, and the matters under its jurisdiction are directly related to life and reputation. As a vital penal institution, the Penal Department has a wide range of full-time positions. Especially as the secretary of the Criminal Department, you bear the important criminal law responsibilities of my Datang, responsible for the formulation and revision of the code, the review and rejection of the trial of cases, the trial of heavy cases, and the election and appointment of judicial officials by the Ministry of Justice together with Dali Temple. The personal ability and personal character of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department will symbolize the direction of the law of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is strict law, or indulgence, whether it is lenient or anything is related to the personal preference of the criminal department Shangshu. Strict law will become a cool official, loose can cause turmoil, in this world, thousands of people, everyone has a different opinion, it is difficult to hold the balance in the heart. In addition to this, there are criminal problems. The slightest error in judgment will result in an unjust prison case, which will damage the reputation of the individual. ”
When Luo Shixin heard this, he nodded solemnly: The era in which he lived was an era of rampant corrupt officials and moral corruption. Maybe it's because the times are different, or maybe it's because of the advanced technology and the large population, which is difficult to control.
A series of reasons for this and that, as long as you look up at random on the Internet, you can find out how the village chief is, how the village cadres are, and even the small village cadres can be lawless, even if you count them upwards. I can't count the number of events.
Whether it's television, news, or ancient historical events, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials. He didn't want to travel back to this era and be a stinking thing for thousands of years, and he also paid special attention to these.
Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Luo Shixin also realized the severity of the matter: The great responsibility of the Criminal Department is really not something that can be undertaken lightly.
Xiao Yu said: "At the beginning, it was for various reasons...... Qu Tu Shangshu arranged for His Royal Highness to be the seat of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, because he didn't know anything about criminal law, he made a lot of jokes, and almost made a mistake...... If it weren't for Liu Shilang's extraordinary judicial ability and saving the face of the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department would probably lose face. Because of this, the whole criminal department has great prejudices against Qu Tu Shangshu, but they have great respect for Liu Shilang, so that Qu Tu Shangshu invisibly let Liu Shilang be empty. ”
Xiao Yu's words were a little vague when she said this.
Luo Shixin understood that Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng secretly gathered their strength at the beginning, and Li Shimin, an important position of the secretary of the criminal department, would naturally not be cheap Li Jiancheng as a scholar, and regardless of whether Qu Tutong was suitable or not, he was directly arranged to this position to deal with the affairs of the criminal department. Qu Tutong has a straightforward and resolute personality, and he is not tactful enough, and he often has problems in handling the affairs of the Criminal Department, and he is unable to take on big responsibilities and let his subordinates be empty.
Xiao Yu continued: "At that time, there was a wind direction that said that the next secretary of the Criminal Department was none other than Liu Shilang. Liu Shilang is indeed qualified to serve as the secretary of the criminal department when he talks about meritorious qualifications, abilities or something, and he himself thinks that he must be the secretary of the criminal department...... But he didn't want to ......," he didn't continue...... (To be continued......)
