Chapter 53: Law and Imperial Power
Luo Zhenren said this, but Zhao Ji was puzzled, what consequences can be caused by just a few apprentices?
They haven't made a mistake now.
Seeing that the emperor was puzzled, Luo Zhenren was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Lingsu next to him and echoed Zhao Ji: "What the official said is right, a few apprentices can't become a big climate, as long as the first evil is killed." ”
In this way, Luo Zhenren stopped talking.
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "For Wang Han, I will immediately issue an order to summon him back to the dynasty and arrest him in Kaifeng Mansion for trial." ”
Lin Lingsu stopped: "Don't do it, Wang Han is cunning and treacherous, so he will return to the dynasty before he goes on the expedition, I am afraid that he will be startled, so he will go for the time being, and then make plans after returning." ”
At this point in the dialogue, Wang Han's matter is over. Zhao Ji became interested in the two-foot-square Shentai and asked Luo Zhenren, "What other immortals can you invite to this Shentai?" ”
Luo Zhenren was dumbfounded, he hadn't thought about this question yet, and he thought about it and answered: "Please Shentai is a treasure left over from before Zhao Tianshi's ascension, whether you can invite other immortals, I don't know." ”
Zhao Ji became interested, and then asked: "Has the real person seen other immortals?" ”
Luo Zhenren shook his head, "Except for Zhao Tianshi, there is no more." ”
Zhao Ji said that he was sorry, staring at the invitation platform, yearning.
After that, the official family gave a banquet and the public discussion was omitted.
After eating, Luo Zhenren asked Lin Lingsu: "Why didn't you tell the truth to the official family before?" The firearm made by the Demon Lord hurts the heavens and should be destroyed. Have you forgotten the Heavenly Master's explanation? All the things created by the Demon Lord must be destroyed, and nothing will be left, otherwise the disaster will be endless. ”
Lin Lingsu said: "Of course I remember Master's decree, but it is really unwise to ask the official family to do this matter, the official family has a gentle personality and a benevolent heart, even if he tells him that Wang Han is the Demon Monarch, he may not be a killer, at most it is a thorn with the army, if we really want to completely solve the harm of the Demon Monarch, we have to do it ourselves." ”
Luo Zhenren was puzzled and asked why.
Lin Lingsu said with a smile: "The real person has lived in the mountains for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, let me talk slowly." ”
But it is said that in the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor was the biggest, but he was also the most sorrowful. The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, which is the Great Song Dynasty.
If the emperor wants to kill someone, it's not that he can't, then there must be a law to follow, and he can't kill people for no reason. And some people, the emperor wants to kill, but the minister stops him, and the emperor can't kill them. There are other people who the emperor wants to save, but the minister has to kill them, and the emperor can't save them.
For example, during the reign of Song Shenzong, there was a thirteen-year-old girl in Dengzhou, Ayun, who was still in mourning, and was married by her uncle to a poor man. Veda can't help but be poor, ugly, and lazy. The girl Ah Yun did not agree to this marriage, but she couldn't resist her uncle, so she made a bold decision to kill Veda.
She thought that if Veda died, she would not have to marry him. Ah Yun took advantage of Veda to slash with a kitchen knife while she was sleeping, but after all, she was a girl, young and weak, and Veda was only slightly injured and lost a finger, and it was fine.
Veda reported the matter to the official, and the government took Ah Yun and sentenced Ah Yun to death for the murder of his husband.
In the Song Dynasty, the crime was beheaded, not the county official sentenced it to be valid, the file had to be reported to the level by level, and finally re-approved by the Dali Temple and the trial court.
The case went to the prefect of Dengzhou first, the prefect was Xu Zun, and when he saw the case, the judgment was wrong, Ayun was in the mourning period, and the marriage contract during the mourning period was invalid, and Ayun was young and was still forced to marry, so legally speaking, Ayun was not Weida's wife, how could he murder his husband?
Xu Zun signed his opinion and reported it to Dali Temple, but Dali Temple upheld the original verdict, because there was a matchmaker from his parents (uncle is also an elder), and he accepted Weida's money, which was Weida's wife, and agreed to sentence Ayun to death. When Xu Zun came back from the file, he was not happy, and he flipped through the legal file and tried to find a way to save Ah Yun. To save Ayun is to fight against Dali Temple and the Criminal Court. As a result, he really found a way, and the Divine Sect granted amnesty to the world, and those who had the circumstances of surrendering were exempted.
Xu Zun used the emperor's edict as an excuse to submit a review to the Criminal Department, but the Criminal Department did not recognize the emperor's edict and still upheld the original verdict. This intermediate file was sent back and forth, delaying time. It was during this time that Xu Zun was promoted to the secretary of Dali Temple and became the highest official of Dali Temple, so Ayun was exempted from the death penalty.
In this way, the Imperial Historical Observatory did not do it, and the Imperial Historical Observatory was specially inspected for whether officials had engaged in favoritism and malpractice, and if so, they would complain to the emperor. When Lord Yushi heard that Xu Zun had such a thing, he reported it to the emperor and impeached Xu Zun.
The emperor listened to the case and asked Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to judge, but the two disagreed, and Wang Anshi felt that he should be sentenced to prison from the perspective of human nature. Sima Guang must act according to the law and be sentenced to death.
Wang Anshi said that there was an edict from the emperor.
Sima Guang said that the law is the biggest.
The two argued, and in the end, the entire Hanlin Academy participated, overwhelming Sima Guang with a numerical advantage, and felt that Ah Yun did not deserve to die. Shenzong personally approved it, and Ah Yun was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment. As a result, the file was rejected when it arrived at the court, and the people in the court did not give the emperor face at all, and they still had to sentence him to death.
A small case, quarreled for several days, Shenzong was also annoyed, with the authority of his emperor, he sent an edict to Zhongshu Province, to protect Ayun. As a result, the edict was rejected by the Zhongshu Province, saying that the emperor's edict did not comply with the law and could not be enforced.
Shenzong was on fire, and directly issued an edict to exempt Ah Yun from the death penalty, can't an emperor save a common people?
Ah Yun didn't die, but later encountered amnesty, went home to get married, and had children. It's time for this to be over, right?
No, a few years later, Shenzong died, Sima Guang picked up the case again and sentenced Ah Yun to death for murdering his husband.
Shenzong died on the front foot, and Ah Yun died on the back foot.
This is the law and imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty.
There are many similar cases, what is the tiger head in Kaifeng Mansion doing? How did the dragon robe come about?
Therefore, the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty were not able to do whatever they wanted like the emperors of other dynasties.
Zhao Tianshi asked the emperor to kill Wang Han, and the emperor agreed, because Wang Han was Galen, entered the palace to steal, and burned Lingxiao Pavilion, not to mention killing Wang Han, it was easy to assassinate the army and never return to Tokyo.
In Zhao Ji's eyes, as long as he doesn't do it for Wang Hanguan, he won't be able to become a climate. Even if you want to add sin, you have to organize the language before you can do it.
Ke Luo Zhenren mentioned several apprentices of the Gunpowder Bureau again, which made Zhao Ji embarrassed. The first reaction in his mind was, what kind of climate can a few apprentices become?
I didn't understand the true meaning of Luo Zhenren's words at all.
After telling this story, Lin Lingsu said: "The official family wants Kaifeng Mansion to convict Wang Han, and if he is convicted of murdering the emperor, ten Wang Han will also die." If he is convicted of stealing and Wang Han sends him to fill the army, if his Hun family is up and down, if it is not good, not only will he not die, but he can also be blessed by misfortune, if he encounters amnesty, he will return to Tokyo in three or five years, which is really inappropriate. ”
Luo Zhenren wondered, "Since you have such doubts, you don't say it when the Heavenly Master talks to the official?" ”
Lin Lingsu was also very sad, expecting Ai Ai, "These words were taught to me by the master at the beginning, saying that when the demon lord was born, I must wait for my own hands to kill it, and I must not fake it from the hands of others." ”
Speaking of which, Xuan Zhen and Zhang Xubai also nodded together, it is true. Back then, when Zhao Sheng preached the three-person method in Shuzhong, he said that the demon lord was treacherous and cunning, and he had to work together with the three junior brothers to do it, and he had to watch other people's heads roll off with his own eyes.
I just don't understand, the Heavenly Master appeared this time, and what he said was different from the previous explanation, why should he leave this matter to the official family to do.
Zhang Xubai also objected: "I feel that the Heavenly Master who appeared this time is not the same as the previous master. ”
Although Lin Lingsu also felt the same way, he still reprimanded Zhang Xubai, "Don't talk nonsense, the master has his own reasons for arranging it like this." ”
At this point in the conversation, the four Taoist priests looked at each other, Luo Zhenren thought for a while, understood, turned his head to Xuan Zhen and said, "I will work hard for you this time." ”
Xuan Zhen promised, "The disciple understands. ”
……
……
Tokyo Gunpowder Bureau.
Since Wang Han's new artillery was appreciated by Zeng Bu, Ling Wei, who studied with Wang Han, was also taken seriously, and the Ministry of Industry has issued a document to set up another workshop in the Gunpowder Bureau, called the Artillery Shell Experimental Field, which is specially used to develop and produce new types of artillery shells.
Wang Han told Ling Wei that when the new steel mill was built, it would no longer make projectile-shaped shells, but shuttle-like torpedo guns, which would hit farther and be more powerful.
Ling Wei didn't understand that, but he knew that Wang Baoyi knew a lot, especially in gunpowder, he knew almost everything, and although he was young, he had a steady and powerful domineering spirit.
Vaguely, Ling Wei felt that he was following the right person, and said to Ling Zhen more than once in private, follow Wang Baoyi to do a good job, although Wang Baoyi bragged a little outrageous, and said that let our brothers be crowned kings and generals, those we don't want to, as long as we can be a nine-grade petty official, we will be content.
And now, this wish seems to be about to come true, and Song Wen and Song Dujian are now much more polite when they see themselves, and they have heard that the new laboratory has been built, and they will promote themselves to be the field director.
What kind of official is the field manager? Wang Baoyi said that the field manager was very awesome.
What does it mean? Wang Baoyi smiled treacherously.
Ling Wei didn't know what to do.
At noon that day, Ling Wei sat at his workstation after eating and rested in the afternoon, and all the apprentices were also staggering in their respective workstations, the so-called autumn deficiency was like this.
In a daze, Ling Wei heard someone blowing something, and when he opened his eyes, there was another Taoist in the workshop, holding a fire fold in his hand, and he was blowing it, and the flames had appeared, seeing Ling Wei looking at him, he smiled apologetically, and then lit the cannonball twist and threw it into the cannonball pile.
Ling Wei was startled and opened his mouth to shout, only to be overwhelmed by the sound of explosions.
……
……
Song Shiji: In the middle of November of the third year of Chongning, the Tokyo Gunpowder Bureau exploded, killing and injuring 32 people.
After investigation, it was found that the explosion was caused by the improper operation of the workers of the artillery crew, and none of the members of the artillery crew were spared.
Song Wen, the capital supervisor of the Gunpowder Bureau, was demoted to Qingzhou as a result.
