Chapter 244: Triage by the Three Divisions
The resolution in the palace was released, and the noisy situation finally quieted down.
Seven days later, that is, three days before the end of the year, the three law divisions will interrogate Wang Feng in front of the emperor, but for most people, it is not certain who will interrogate who at that time, after all, these three law divisions, whether it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, or the Criminal Department, are all court officials, and they are court officials, who dares to risk the world's disapproval to embarrass Wang Feng?
Many people were overjoyed in their hearts, and they couldn't help but think that it seemed that there was fun to watch at that time, and even some people couldn't hold it back, waiting for the time to show a good look.
Wang Feng's case has attracted much attention and has become the subject of discussion on the streets.
But for the princes in the temple, this case is also a serious relationship, the candidate of the three law divisions has been handed over, the palace is ready to approve, the candidate of the criminal department is Yang Kang, the servant of the criminal department, this Yang waiter has always been upright, just upright, during the Zhengde period, the Zhang brothers had suffered his loss. As for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is the right deputy imperial envoy Cheng Zhang, Cheng Zhang has just stepped down from the post of governor of Shaanxi, and there has been news that he is going to be of great use, but now he has just returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he still has the post of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Dali Temple dispatched Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhu Qi, Lord Zhu is not famous, but if you look carefully at his resume, you will find that there are many differences, this Lord Zhu once served as the head of the Department of Rites and Ceremonies.
Ordinary people seem to think that Master Zhu is nothing remarkable, but when anyone who reads hears this person's name, he is afraid that he will have to pee his pants. For example, ordinary students can often ignore the local prefect, but they are afraid of the school of learning, but once you become a person, then congratulations, you can neglect the school, but there are still people who care about you. But if you still want to continue the exam, then the status of the Department of Etiquette and Etiquette will be highlighted. The duties of the Qing Officials Department are to supervise the military rites, military ceremonies, and to manage academic affairs and imperial examinations, which means that all the scholars in the world are under his jurisdiction, and your diploma is issued by them, and your student status is also managed by them, and if you are a traitor, they can get rid of your student status with a stroke of the pen. If you want to register for the imperial examination, you must go through their review and pass the examination before you are allowed to take the examination.
All in all, this official doesn't seem to have much effect in ordinary times, and ordinary people don't take him seriously. However, it is the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials in the eyes of officials, and the Yamen of the Ministry of War in the eyes of military attachΓ©s, and its status is extremely prominent.
Making this arrangement is obviously Yang Tinghe's idea, although Lord Zhu has been promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but after all, the influence of the Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Rites is still there, and it really annoys this person, and people say hello. It can be said that some people can't eat and walk around, of course, this certain person is specifically referring to Xu Qian, and when the time comes, it will be time for the imperial trial. It is specially used to stumble Xu Qian.
Of the three chief judges, the first one is upright and will not give face to anyone, and the second is an official who has just returned to Beijing. The relationship with Jingshi is not deeply involved, and he can handle it impartially. The third identity is not ordinary, and it has a great deterrent to students and lifters. These three candidates are naturally the result of a compromise between the palace and the cabinet, and the palace does not want anyone who is too close to Wang Feng to appear, nor does it want the cabinet to be too involved in this matter. And the candidates put forward by the cabinet can generally satisfy the palace.
In fact, not only the palace and the cabinet were satisfied, but other officials couldn't help but nod secretly when they saw the candidates.
Nowadays, many people are gearing up, waiting for December 26, and even in the market, there are people who have opened a gambling market to attract people to bet.
The three chief judges did a good job in terms of face, and when they were appointed, they immediately took leave from their respective ministries, claiming that they were seriously ill and could not take care of official business for the time being.
I think these three adults also want to avoid suspicion, since they are receiving the royal trial, they naturally have to put on a fair and strict posture.
In fact, for them, no matter which side they lean, it is easy to be unlucky, and if they are biased towards Ruyifang, they will inevitably be reprimanded by their colleagues, and the cabinet will not be satisfied. But if you are biased towards Wang Feng, sooner or later you will be hated by the palace.
In the eyes of most people, it seems that no matter which side they pend, they are looking for death, and these three people are clearly wronged, and the errand is naturally unlucky.
But some things can't just look at the surface, in fact, this errand also has many benefits, as long as the person who adjudicates the case is impartial, can be fair and convincing, so that everyone can't find a thorn, then there are many benefits, after all, this is a big case that everyone pays attention to, as long as the table is brilliant, the qualifications of the person who adjudicate the case will inevitably have to be added to it.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye to December 26, today's Beijing has added a bit of festivity, the year is approaching, the ordinary people who have worked hard for a year have temporarily put down their livelihood at this time, and reunite with their relatives, and at this juncture, weddings, relocation of new homes and the like are also very much, there are firecrackers in the city every three or five times, the lord of the yamen at this time also has no intention of working, one by one put down the things at hand, and concentrate on the New Year.
Ordinary people celebrate the New Year just to have a good time, but the old man's New Year is different. At the end of the year, local officials want to give gifts, but those gifts should not be received is also a science, in addition, you have to go to the New Year, but the order of this order is absolutely wrong, and visit which adult to give what gifts, when you see the official and how to answer, these things seem simple, but in fact they are complicated, especially for those new officials, some people have been officials for several years, so far they have not figured out the way, and the result is a headache every New Year's Day.
It's Chinese New Year......
Early in the morning, Xu Qian raised his head and looked at the hazy sky, the residual snow on the roof ridge had not yet melted, and he was braving the slightest cold, while Xu Qian was dressed tightly and walked to the center of the courtyard without hurrying.
Xu Chang deliberately did not go to duty today, took leave and came back, although he could not enter the palace, but he really couldn't rest assured, he didn't think it was interesting to do anything, he got up early in the morning, Zhang Luo for a long time, personally gave Xu Qian a bowl of noodles, and after Xu Qian had eaten, he waited outside, and when he left, Xu Chang restrained the warmth on his face, and warned Xu Qian with a straight face: "Don't you think that you are just a witness and think it has nothing to do with it, tell you the truth, today's imperial trial is not so simple, there are rumors in the factory guard, There are already many people waiting to be punished for your sins this time, so be careful. β
Xu Qian nodded, in fact, Xu Chang didn't need to tell these words, he also knew, he smiled at Xu Chang and said, "Dad, when I come back, we will have a good year together." β
Xu Chang nodded heavily and sighed: "Yes, have a good year." Then he looked at Xu Fu again, this time, Xu Fu and Xu Qian went together, because the day before yesterday, someone had already handed over a sign, asking the witness Xu Qian and Xu Fu to enter the palace, Xu Fu did not have Xu Qian's concentration, his face was worried, Xu Chang looked at him, comforted: "Don't be afraid, there is a high top when the sky falls, you only need to play according to the truth after you go, you know?" β
Xu Fu nodded stiffly and said, "Uncle, I know." β
Xu Chang shook his head, sighed, and couldn't help but say, "Why is it so difficult for us to do something, why is it so easy for others to do things?" Hey......"
Xu Qian and Xu Fu had already gotten into the carriage, and it was Xu Yong who was driving the carriage, and Xu Yong shouted: "Sit tight." Then he urged the carriage and walked slowly towards the end of the alley.
Xu Chang stood at the door, watching the carriage disappear at the end of the street, before sighing, turning around and going back to the yard, who knew that he almost collided with He Xinyin.
Xu Changhu glanced at He Xinyin suspiciously, and said, "Mr. He got up so early?" β
He Xinyin said politely: "I heard that Gongzi Xu has a big event to enter the palace today, so I wanted to send it away, but I never thought that I would get up late." β
Xu Chang's face softened and said, "You have a heart." β
He Xinyin looked at the worried Xu Chang and said, "Old Dongweng seems to be worried? β
Xu Chang squinted at him and said, "What, what do you have to say?" β
He Xinyin smiled and said: "Actually, you should be worried, in the past few days, the students have heard some things, but I am afraid that this time Xu Gongzi will be more than lucky." β
Xu Chang's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say a few words angrily to him, thinking to himself, this stinky scholar doesn't know anything, and he said such unfortunate things early in the morning.
He Xinyin said solemnly: "According to the student's opinion, the key to this case is neither Wang Feng's book nor Ruyifang, the real key is in Shangjia, I have always been light on business, the harm of Shangjia is like a tiger, and the world's scholars talk about the tiger's color, so the students think that when Wang Fengfeng tries his best to hurt the harm of Chen Shangjia, in order to win sympathy, since Shangjia has all kinds of harm and no benefit, then his book is naturally reasonable, since his book is reasonable, and His Majesty punished him, which is not in line with the sentence of punishing crime because of words. From the student's point of view, it is easy for Wang Feng to get away with the crime, and the three presiding officials also strongly agree with him. And once he gets rid of his guilt, then the problem comes again, in order to prove his rightness, he must lash out at Ruyifang, and slander him by virtue of the harm of the merchants, at that time, as long as Xu Gongzi is a little negligent, not only will Ruyifang be ruined, but even he will have to get in. β
Xu Chang frowned, and couldn't help but say, "What do you know, he and His Majesty are ......?"
He Xinyin smiled and said: "Although he has a great relationship with His Majesty, but you must know that since His Majesty has entrusted the three divisions to intervene, then the result of this trial is not His Majesty's decision. This matter has already caused complaints, and if His Majesty causes controversy in order to shield Xu Gongzi, this day will have to fall. β
