"The Son of Heaven is really hard." In the cafeteria, Qi Yuan muttered about the case.

"Did you read it too?" Shang Luo asked.

"Of course I read them all, my parents were talking about it at breakfast. Tut-tut, they're all tsk-tut. This matter is simply a proposition, and there is a problem with which side to choose. The Son of Heaven is not yet thirty years old this year, and he did not study law or Confucianism at all, he was born in science. And he had never happened since Emperor Taizu Gao—it reached everyone's ears on the radio and in the newspapers, and everyone was watching him. Tsk tsk. ”

She could only shake her head again and again: "So far, although there is finally a result, most of the matter is not over." ”

"Do you want to continue?"

"Yes. Because in the final analysis, this case still has to be tried in the three sessions. And the three sessions will never make a decision that goes against the ancestors, because the three sessions themselves are to make a ruling on the 'legality' of this matter. Finally, the submission of the ordination is usually a procedure – but it can also be done without a procedure. Because the Son of Heaven is the living ancestor, Emperor Taizu Gao said that the reign of the Son of Heaven is equivalent to his own reign, so all ethical issues are not a problem with him - you see that the uncle of the Son of Heaven still has to worship the Son of Heaven, because that is not worshipping his nephew, that is the 'Son of Heaven'. Only the Son of Heaven can disobey the decision of his ancestors, and he can do so, so the responsibility for making the decision is all on him. ”

"Ahh So what did the judge think at the time?"

"Judge?" Qi Yuan glanced at him, "I sometimes wonder if you went to elementary school in Rome. We don't have judges here. ”

"So we don't have a judge here? What about justice? ”

"Tut-tut." Qi Yuan shook his head, "You really went to elementary school in Rome." Justice, legislation or something, this is a Roman concept, and we have no counterpart here. ”

"Where do you usually go to the lawsuit?"

"Of course, it's the county government. Of course, it is the magistrate who handles the case. ”

[Good guys! It turned out that the county magistrate decided the case! 】

"Good guy" Shang Luo was also taken aback, "Why haven't I known for so long?" ”

"Because only those who write public cases will go to the county government all day long to collect materials, most people don't pay much attention to it, unless it is a case like '329' that has caused a big discussion in the whole society."

"But that's the case." Shang Luo thought about it, he had heard Zhu Xianene talk about this problem before: as a physicist, or a person who graduated from science and engineering, the administration of modern government was completely beyond his ability. But to put it mildly, can all the affairs of the modern government, including administrative judgments, etc., really be handled by the county magistrate alone?

He knew how the county order came about: the county order was taken by the entrance examination, or from the beginning of the promotion from the head of the department to the county order. Zhu Xianene can't manage the affairs of a country, this is common sense, after all, he is not Emperor Taizu Gao nor Zhuge Kongming. But with any Jinshi, he can't judge the case like Pang Tong. In the end, Li Kui's case is more likely.

He asked Qi Yuan.

"Ahh Qi Yuan looked at him and shook his head, "You are indeed carried away by the Roman system - what kind of judicial administration." We're not going to talk about that at all. ”

"And what are we talking about?"

"It's a courtesy. In the final analysis, the national capital of our country is a rite, so the county order deals with the issue of 'etiquette' in the final analysis. For example, in the case of a murder, the county magistrate is responsible for deciding whether he killed the person or not. In other words, whether the criminal facts of this matter exist - this does not need to be explained at all, have you read "The Case of Bao Gong" and "The Case of Di Gong"? You see that when Bao Gong and Di Gong analyze the case and the process of committing the crime, they don't need to drag the law over, right? ”

It seems that there really isn't. He remembered that the two of them had just walked to the scene, and people surrounded him to ask questions, and he went through the case. Usually at this time, there will be a prisoner's face as the original color of the earth, and then there will be Zhanzhao or some other master next to him to detain the prisoner. As for what happens after that, it's not really important.

Therefore, the law is used for sentencing, and after confirming the facts of the crime, it will be handled by the judicial department. What the county magistrate has to deal with is not the issue of law, but the issue of 'etiquette'. The same is true for other affairs, the county magistrate assumes the ethics of the parent magistrate, so he is responsible for the ethics of the county. Then when it comes to the specific facts of the case and sentencing, there will be another department to solve it: this is called the three-hall trial. Therefore, there is no Roman demarcation such as justice and legislation in our country. We need to reconcile the opinions of all parties in the three sessions and then decide, but if we do that, there is a fundamental problem. ”

"It's going to end up with the Son of Heaven, right?" Shang Luo asked.

"Hmm." Qi Yuan nodded, "Because of the county order, ethics can only be judged within a county. For example, the eaves of the east family occupy the land of the west family, which can be explained by this county. The government is talking about the ethics of the government - but this matter touches on the root of etiquette, that is, the monarch and the minister, the father and the son. If it is about the ethics of the world, then it will definitely be stabbed to the Son of Heaven himself. Of course, in addition to the Son of Heaven, Liu Yushi is also very tired. ”

"By the way, what is Yushi doing here?"

"Goshi is the representative of the parent official. Our three-hall trial will be about ethics, the facts of the case, and the law, and there will be no parent officials at the prefectural level and above—we don't have a state pastor after all. Therefore, after the three sessions of the county and government, and at the provincial level, the parent official became the Son of Heaven himself, and it was impossible for the Son of Heaven to listen to the case. So the imperial history participated in the three sessions at the provincial level and the first level of the imperial court as the agent of the Son of Heaven, and there would be a special case The imperial history followed the case from beginning to end until the case was concluded. So the one who puts the most pressure on the Son of Heaven is Liu Yushi himself. The news said that he went to meet the Son of Heaven yesterday, but his battle was not over yet. He still has to go down after three sessions. ”

"The one who met with him"

"The Criminal Department and the Dali Temple. The opinion of the criminal department on behalf of the case, and the opinion of the Dali Temple on behalf of the law. The convergence of the imperial history that represents ethical opinions, this is a heaven, earth and man. If all three sides are cleared, a case can be completed, and one side can't be done if it can't be done - this matter is not in Dali Temple, because according to the law, it should not be killed. Ah, so in the morning my dad said, he was waiting for this man to die soon. The output of pills has dropped a lot these days, probably because there are many people in Jinyiwei who are busy with this matter. Forget it, we're eating ours now. Shang Luo, do you still want to ask for leave in the afternoon? ”

"Well, it's not half an afternoon, I'll leave around three o'clock."

At about three o'clock, after he gave Dan to Zhu Xianne, he had to visit the mushrooms.

"Ah," he shook his head suddenly, "I think I've run into such an ethical problem. As the creator, can I really completely withdraw from the matter and achieve 'heaven and earth are unkind', I'm afraid it's difficult, after all, I have to end up with the pill no matter what. ”

[Do you want to take a look at the imperial history? ] 】

"No, I don't. This time in the afternoon, I plan to pay a private visit to Weifu. Ethical issues cannot be talked about in an empty way, but must be discussed in the context of things. How to deal with it, just look at the performance of which mushroom people. I'm wondering if I'm going to have a three-class trial to deal with this, it seems like a good idea. But the first thing to determine is whether their society deserves the word 'ethical' or just a collection of ants and bees. You can see it when you visit Weifu privately. ”
