Li Mingrui came out of the Wenhua Palace, and Zhu Cihong sent him all the way to Dong'anmen on foot.

The two walked together, but Zhu Cihong didn't say anything, obviously thinking about his own business. Li Mingrui didn't dare to find a topic, he only said that this was the crown prince's expression, so that the entire government and the opposition knew the importance of Dali Temple's status now.

In fact, Zhu Cihong just walked left and right to be a favor when it was time to rest his eyes, and he didn't have too far-reaching considerations. Anyway, Li Mingrui was also his teacher, and this respect is worth it.

With the moved Li Mingrui, he rode all the way back to the official office of Dali Temple, handed over the horse to Menzi at the gate, and walked in quickly.

Dali Temple is the newly relocated office, just about two miles east of Donghua Gate. In front of the gatehouse is a huge two-sided stone drum, indicating the acceptance of the appeal of the people. After the gatehouse is the vermilion gate, the shape is like the palace, just according to the wall painted a majestic one-horned hedgehog beast, below is the blue water surface, but smooth as a mirror, take the original meaning of the word "灋".

Entering the gate, there is a courtyard first, and you can see new soil under the newly planted jujube trees. This is the tradition of Dali Temple, on behalf of the Law Cao Criminal Division, because the ancient people listened to the lawsuit under the thorn tree, so it has become the origin of Dali Temple's nickname "Thorn Temple".

The courtyard is lined with double porches, where classes are held for law students in the mornings and debate rooms for judges to discuss legislative provisions in the afternoon.

The law students who can enter Dali Temple are all up-and-coming young people in the School of Law and Politics, in other words, they are all supporters of the crown prince and Li Mingrui's "Fa Yao Shun". The reason for choosing them is not only because they have a good memory, can grasp and apply the laws and regulations, but more importantly, they firmly stand on the side of the crown prince and the new law.

At the end of the corridor is the main hall, where important visitors – such as the crown prince – are greeted by the entire Dali Temple and listen to the hadiths. On weekdays, if there are high-ranking officials at the temple level who come in person, Li Mingrui will also receive them here. Hold talks.

This lobby is no different from the main hall of the general government office, but it is quite innovative in its layout: behind the guest seats, four screens are placed. When there are guests, it is shrouded in blue yarn, and when there are no guests, the blue yarn is lifted, but it is four double-sided blackboards. This blackboard is all black porcelain fired by the official kiln, and the ink is as black as lacquer. Writing on it with a chalk pen is clear.

Li Mingrui went all the way into the lobby, stood in front of the blackboard, scanned the words on it, immediately shook his head, took chalk and wrote five or seven words, or one or two sentences, under some words. After the end, he found an empty place, wrote on it two items: "Conflict between clan private law and national law" and "Corrupt officials donate stolen money to clan public welfare", and then threw down the chalk and continued to walk inside.

The clerk on duty in the lobby saw it and grabbed the gavel casually. There was a bang in front of him. Soon, judges and law students came out to find a message from Honji Masashi and pondered it.

This is the prerogative of Li Mingrui, and ordinary judges are only willing to knock on the chime when they specifically greet the scribe and explain the importance, so as not to be complained about without distinction between the seriousness of the matter.

It was in this way that Li Mingrui did not say a word, but he had already passed on the title given by the crown prince. Brainstorm ideas and wait for someone to come up with a proposal for the next discussion. Or send it directly to his office.

Li Mingrui's office room is in the east ear room of the second hall, and the west ear room is Shaoqing's job room, which is slightly smaller. The entire second hall is the office of these two temple secretaries and the place where visitors are received. In the corridor rooms on both sides of the second hall, it is the office room of the left and right temples and Cheng, and the size is also different according to the different grades, and there are six or seven people in one room. There were only two or three people at the least.

Li Mingrui had just sat down in front of the bookcase to catch his breath, and before he started work, he heard the scribe report outside: "Tingwei, there is an autumn official who asks to see him, saying that he has solved Tingwei's problem. ”

Li Mingrui's head was confused. I just wrote it, is it really that simple, is it that simple that I and the crown prince both eat dry rice? As soon as he thought of this, he already had an insight in his heart, and asked unhappily, "Which rebellious person is making such wild words?" ”

When the scribe heard it, he hurriedly said: "It's Feng Yuanhui." ”

Li Mingrui's mood is getting worse and worse.

This Feng Yuanhui was only transferred to Dali Temple in August, and in Li Mingrui's eyes, he was a disgusting piece of dirt, and he couldn't wait to expel him from the temple.

If there is anything that the crown prince has done wrong, then the recruitment of these "dirt" is the biggest one. In order to recruit enough legal talents, the crown prince opened the door to the people who were proficient in the "Da Ming Law" and the "Punishment Regulations" and paid tribute.

seems to be good governance, but the crown prince is in a high position after all, and he doesn't know the people's feelings under the road.

Who would read the "Da Ming Law" and the "Questioning and Punishment Regulations" for ordinary students? This thing can't help the current text, and it's a miscellaneous book that delays effort. Only the kind of bootbreakers who take up lawsuits in the countryside, instigate right and wrong, and turn black and white upside down will read these books, in order to make people fight lawsuits and profit from them.

Li Mingrui is extremely shameful of this kind of person, and would rather be slow to train a scholar with good character to serve as a judge. Although the School of Law and Political Science does not have many students, it can still train dozens of people every year, and it is enough for time, so there is no need to recruit those lawyers with a very bad reputation.

It can be said that the biggest beneficiary of recruiting these litigants is not Dali Temple, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As of June of the 19th year of Chongzhen, a total of 362 people were arrested and more than 700,000 taels of stolen money were seized...... The Imperial Court was rewarded by the imperial court for this, but all the meritorious imperial historians were promoted and raised, and they gained both fame and fortune.

The entire Dali Temple was humiliated because of it, and Li Mingrui even reached the point of resignation.

It's like it's just for the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

It is these 362 people who account for 80 percent of the recruits! Among them, there are moths who are greedy for thousands of taels, and there are also idiots who are dozens of taels, in order to solve the unjust, false and wrongful cases left by these bastards, Dali Temple has to divide people to retry all the case files, and the sun and moon are not shining in the entire official office, which is simply the darkest time.

Is the remaining 20 percent really fine?

Maybe it's really honest and dutiful, or maybe it's just because the means are more superb, so that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has not found out the problem.

This Feng Yuanhui is the latter kind.

As a student who fell into the middle of the family, Feng Yuanhui failed to win the second list in three exams, so he simply used the name of a student to start a business.

According to the national policy of the Ming Dynasty to give preferential treatment to scholars, Emperor Taizu Gao exempted all current officials from servitude; In the 24th year of Jiajing's "Preferential Exemption Regulations", it was stipulated that the first grade of the Beijing official was exempted from military service with 30 stone and 30 ding, and the following was reduced to 6 stone and 6 ding from service to 6 stone and 6 ding; halving of foreign officials; lifting, prison, and student preferential and free food two stones, two people; Seven out of 10 of this product is exempt.

In the 38th year of Wanli, the "New Regulations on Preferential Exemption" also stipulated that the current Jiake Jingguan was exempted from land tax of 10,000 mu for the first product, and the following decreased, and 2,700 mu for the eighth grade; halving of foreign officials; Six-tenths of this product is exempt; The maximum amount of land can reach 3,350 acres, and the field of 1,200 acres can be 1,200 acres; Eighty acres of land tax are exempted for students and supervisors.

Feng Yuanhui took advantage of this "New Example of Preferential Exemption" to sell his share of 80 acres of free land. At that time, Feng Yuanhui was not cunning enough, and the tax exemption of 80 mu was actually sold for 80 mu, but I don't know who cares about this amount in the world? Where is not over-occupied! Often, people from above are sent to check, and everywhere they go, they are these 80 acres...... Even if it is 800 acres, it is still in this "80 acres".

Feng Yuanhui was naturally unwilling after being "sensible", but unfortunately the contract had already been signed, and there were his bright red fingerprints and monograms on it, so he couldn't fake it. The other party has a big family and a big business, and he is not afraid that he will be so poor. He was quite stimulated by this incident, and worked hard to understand the law of the Ming Dynasty, and even learned the common and unusual rules of all dynasties, and naturally there were quite hills and valleys in his chest, so he became a "king"!

Feng Yuanhui, the king, is not a first-class writer in legendary novels, he also reverses black and white, fabricates perjury, and bribes magistrates and county orders...... It's just that he can still be a little vigilant, he doesn't dare to damage his reputation too much, even if he does evil things, he has to spit out a little profit and wear a hypocritical mask, so his reputation in the township is not too bad.

With excellent legal literacy and a pragmatic political stance, Feng Yuanhui easily blended into the young judicial team of the Ming Dynasty, and came out on top in the examination, and was awarded the title of judge of the Qiu County Court of Hejian Prefecture in only two months. In office, Feng Yuanhui was proficient in all kinds of secret doorways, and his work efficiency was extremely high, and he took the redress of unjust imprisonment as a breakthrough point, and turned over the cases that had been manipulated in the county one by one for retrial, and returned justice, and really earned great fame.

With this reputation as a ladder for promotion, Feng Yuanhui was successfully promoted to the governor of the Hejian Mansion Governor's Court, and just ten months later, he was promoted to the palm seal magistrate. If it weren't for the fact that the Metropolitan Procuratorate found some clues and launched an investigation on him, maybe he would soon be able to ascend to the Dali Temple in Hebei.

Of course, now Feng Yuanhui is waiting outside the door to be summoned, which means that the original desire of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to catch a big fish has failed. They originally estimated that Feng Yuanhui was greedy for at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, but after some efforts, they really couldn't find evidence, and they couldn't rashly arrest and interrogate the top official of the judicial department of a government, so they had to give up.

Because of this failed investigation, Li Mingrui was vigilant, for fear of another corruption scandal. In Li Mingrui's mental state at that time, if he was sure that Feng Yuanhui was greedy, he might have strangled this lawsuit directly, and would never let the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate show off again.

Feng Yuanhui was therefore transferred to Dali Temple as a temple leader, and he seemed to be promoted, but in fact, he was pulled to the front of him to be guarded, not allowing him to contact the case, and was only responsible for guiding those law students who watched politics in Dali Temple, similar to Mr. Social Studies. He can't even participate in the revision of the new law, at most he can only reply a few words on the message board, and even if it is adopted, it will be the credit of others.

Now Li Mingrui's two questions finally brought Feng Yuanhui a chance, a chance to go straight to the sky! (To be continued......)
