Chapter 209: Governor

Previous Chapter

Wei Zhi, as the leader of the task force, is also the master of the imperial history of Zuodu, and has a lot of power to speak on this case.

And Dali Siqing Fei Mo is on Wei Zhi's side, so Wei Zhi insists on convicting the second prince according to the results of the case, which is reasonable, if you put aside the specific identity of the second prince, even Guan Ping can't say a word.

And Zhou Huaisen and his family argued around the shortcomings of the flaws in the case-handling process, even if they can fight for five or five opens, it does not mean that this matter can be postponed indefinitely, after all, the court still has a fairly complete set of processes, and at this time, the trial of the three divisions has been concluded and submitted to the cabinet and the court, and this matter must have a result.

But if you want to succeed at one time, it is basically impossible to convict the second prince of treason today, putting aside the flaws in the process that Zhou Huaisen grasped, it is impossible for the court to detain the crime of treason on his son's head when the Qing Emperor is still on the dragon chair.

But the task force and the third division, the important weapon of the imperial court, have done so much work for this case, and the situation is clear that the second prince has lost a hand, so even if this crime is not on the head of the second prince, the court must deal with it accordingly according to the rules, and cut off a group of losers' subordinates to substitute for the crime, otherwise the system of the court will become a joke.

In the end, Sun Ge Lao finally stood up and played Tai Chi, and lightly led the topic to the direction of who to ask for guilt.

As long as the second prince is not convicted of treason, he can pull whoever comes out of the top cylinder, after all, his own side is indeed a lot worse than chess, now ask for a respite, and delay it for a while.

Wei Zhi looked at the prince, the prince didn't say anything special, Wei Zhi thought about it, and knew that it was useless to insist on plotting against him, so he compromised a little, agreed to Sun Gelao's mediation, and agreed to put the matter of the second prince's conviction on hold for the time being, and instead pursue the people involved.

Wei Zhi also knew that this dynasty was still the world of the Zhao family after all, and if everyone could kill the second prince with one sword, then the name of this prince would be too worthless.

And Sun Ge Lao can be a scholar of Dongge University, naturally he also needs to act rightly, and he can't be too arbitrary and biased, so after communicating with the two parties and weighing it, Sun Ge Lao put forward fairly: For the flaws in the case, the three divisions need to send people to Jiangnan to complete the evidence chain and complete all the supplementary procedures; at the same time, Zhao Yi needs to return to Beijing to report to the Zongren Mansion according to the edict, and the Zongren Mansion will lead the self-defense process of entering the palace, and at the same time, Zhao Yi needs to come up with strong counter-evidence on the existing criminal evidence that the three divisions have obtained.

At the same time, Sun Ge Lao proposed: Because the nature of this case is too bad and sensitive, the imperial court has issued an edict and sent the Jiangnan Provincial Imperial History Inspector to accompany the special case team to directly enter the Jiangnan Provincial Town Army to handle the case, and at the same time, before the case is concluded, the Inspector can temporarily concurrently serve as the Jiangnan Provincial Town Military Supervision Army.

Sun Ge Lao made an exception to propose the garrison of the garrison in peacetime, which was also regarded as compensation for Wei Zhi's willingness to compromise and not convict Zhao Yi, which was equivalent to giving the prince a grand excuse to meddle in the internal affairs of the Jiangnan Town Army.

The imperial history and patrol press, plus the supervision of the army, and the addition of several positions, can be called holding the sword of Shang Fang, such a supervision army has the right to temporarily dispose of the army generals, which is equivalent to handing over the town army to the prince.

Elder Sun Ge thought that this proposal was sincere enough, and the second prince was willing to use such an important town army in exchange for follow-up response time, so that the exchange of conditions could be regarded as an explanation for the entire court, and the hundred officials should also be convinced of this punishment for the Jiangnan case.

But the prince was still silent, and his eyes diverged to look at the misty smoke of incense, as if he was in a daze.

The prince's demeanor, Wei Zhi knew that the prince was dissatisfied, and the master was not satisfied, so he had to roll up his sleeves and continue to do it!

Wei Zhi didn't say a word, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and objected: "Your Majesty, these sinners and physical evidence presented by the Three Law Divisions to the front of the hall are enough to fill in the lives of more than 100 elites of the Youth Criminal Department Special Combat Team and dozens of Qing Armor Prefecture troops in Jiangnan, and the conclusive evidence has been collected. ”

"Under the rule of His Majesty, the prosperous Qingguo, the most prosperous and wealthy Jiangnan Province, actually hides the rebels who dare to ambush and kill the envoys of the Imperial City and the case-handling personnel and the Daqing soldiers, this is really too appalling, is this still the Jiangnan Province of the Qingguo? What is the difference between this and the land of the barbarian tribes who often plunder the border and offend the majesty of the Daqing at will?"

"There is such a chaos in Jiangnan, and Weichen thinks that it is inseparable from the Jiangnan Provincial Town Army, the local political envoys, and even the lax administration of the Jiangnan Provincial Governor!"

"Troubled times need to use heavy codes, since the entire Jiangnan Province has been chaotic to the point of bullying officials and the local area is not noticed, Wechen believes that the imperial court must be heavy hands to scrape the bones of the entire Jiangnan Province to detoxify, Wechen proposed to enable the governor system, and send a special governor to Jiangnan Province to deal with this matter, this governor also hangs the title of imperial history, and raises the patrol press, supervises the army and the task force, and goes down to Jiangnan to govern the officials, the whole army and the military, and also Jiangnan Province a bright blue sky. ”

Wei Zhi said that he was already angry and reprimanded in the back, showing the style of imperial history, and in the end, Wei Zhi ended with a very strong kneeling salute, and he couldn't stand on the ground for a long time: "I hope Your Majesty will wish for the common people!

The officials were in an uproar, no one expected Wei Zhi to make this move.

Most of the officials thought that the governor's authority was too heavy, and the jurisdiction was too large, which would cause certain administrative interference to the local ruling departments in the jurisdiction, and the establishment of the post of governor would outweigh the losses.

Later, under the insistent intervention of the Qing Emperor, the officials and localities of the imperial court pinched their noses and claimed these temporary governors of the Five Provinces.

After all, the governor was still a product of the centralization of the imperial court sent by Kyoto to represent the majesty of the imperial court, and it was reasonable for the various departments in Kyoto to help each other.

However, the local authorities did not like to see these governors, and each of them sacrificed small means in the officialdom, and offered the temporary governor of this subordinate subordinate as an ancestral clay sculpture on the incense platform, and gave the incense only to the ground, and was perfunctory in various local government affairs.

And the governors sent down were also interested, and they didn't stretch out their hands indiscriminately, but they firmly controlled the local military affairs according to the secret decree of the Qing Emperor, and did not interfere much in government affairs, so they were peaceful for a few years.

Later, some university students proposed to add the post of governor under the governor, and split the governor's jurisdiction into several provinces, with a governor in each province, so as to form a little differentiation and checks and balances on the governor's authority, and to control the local power of the three local divisions, such as the political envoy department.

The governor's proposal provoked a wider discussion, and some old scholars even denounced that this was tantamount to having several more petty governors? In this way, a bunch of uncles would go down to fight with each other, and the local officials would not have to work?

At that time, the Qing Emperor and the cabinet also thought that the position of governor was to be discussed, so they suppressed this proposal.

Unexpectedly, this time Wei Zhi took advantage of the prince's power to bring up this matter again, it seems that the prince is determined to swallow this Jiangnan this time.
