Chapter 21 The Emperor’s Miscellaneous Journey (3)

The emperor left two connected courtyards and found an uninhabited corner to stand down. He was stunned. Jingyu didn't dare to ask and was waiting.

A moment later, footsteps sounded again, and figures flashed. Zai Ye followed, "No need to salute." The father stopped his son's movement first, making his young man stand in front of him with a javelin, "Well, have you asked for leave with Changfeng?"

"I've asked for it, my son said, it's convenient to go out, and I'll come out."

"There were men and women who jumped over the wall to have fun together. Now the prince urinated and worshiped his father. It may not be very good to spread it?"

"My son worships is my sage Lord of the Qing Dynasty. He is more than the selfishness of all the yin and yang children, and has ruined the principles of heaven and earth, but he does not know that it is millions of times stronger."

The emperor Zhan Yan smiled, as if he was very satisfied with his son Minda's comments. "You have been in the Ministry of Revenue for almost a month, and Mr. Yan Jingming also talked to me about your performance. Amma is very happy. Staying in such a place for three days is more informative than reading the words of a saint in the study room for a month." He said, "For this Changfeng, I see that he is rude and rude, but it is not useless. Just like in the end, Amma talked with him for a long time and asked him to take Amma into the house for a trip - do you know? If he agrees, I will immediately spread Du Han and others to the front and dismiss the officials of the Ministry of Revenue! In such an important place, a person of unknown origin can also walk in with a noble footstep? Where did the imperial court code be placed?"

Zai Wei was secretly happy for Changfeng, and could control it for a while. He didn't know how wealth he would be for him in the future? At the same time, he felt that the emperor's imperial mind was really applied to the extreme. He just heard him continue, "Now, it's beyond my expectations. Can he be stubborn about the Zhe Shan and not be moved by his own selfishness?" The emperor nodded slowly, then looked down at Zai Wei, "But he is him, you are you. In the future, he must be careful to work in the Ministry of Revenue. Don't let anyone know that you are my son, do you understand?"

"Yes, the Hadith of Emperor Ama is in my ears, and my son will remember it."

"That's it, you go back, I have to leave."

Zai Wei knelt down in the messy land, kowtowed to the emperor's back until he could no longer see it, then stood up, turned around and walked in.

The emperor left Fujian, where the second department of Shaanxi was located, in the courtyard of the Ministry of Revenue, Su Shun was talking to Du Han, obviously he did not dare to go in and disturb him. Seeing the emperor coming out, the various halls of the Ministry of Revenue fell one after another, "I'm welcome to the emperor!"

"Yes." The emperor talked to Changfeng and gained a lot. When he heard Du Han and others say something about the wise and wise, he felt so tired that he didn't move in and stopped in the courtyard. "I am free today in government affairs, and I will come to the ministry to take a look. I have a lot of money. I won't mention it today, and I will have another order in the future."

This is a ignorant statement. How do you say that the income is abundant? Where is the "breeding"? There will be an order in the future? I don't know if it is a blessing or a disaster? I dare not ask too much, and they all rushed to the door and knelt to send the emperor's carriage.

The emperor walked out of the Ministry of Revenue. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Personnel, and Ministry of Works probably heard the news. They each brought their subordinates to greet them. They knelt all over the streets, and they kept chanting the saints in their mouths, as if they were in chaos. "Sushun, look at your good job!"

Sushun did not expect that the news that the emperor was wandering out of the palace would be revealed so quickly. He was so anxious that he sweated on his head and did not dare to drive him away. He had to hold on to the whip in front of him and ordered the imperial guards to separate the road and allow the carriage to pass by. "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Hearing that the sound behind him was wrong, Su Shun hurriedly turned around again. The emperor had already landed on his feet and stood outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice, "Your Majesty? Are you?"

"Go and go inside and take a look."

"Oh, zha!" Sushun agreed, leading the way forward, Zheng Dunjin, Ele and Bu and other six halls of the Ministry of Justice were with him, and Sula was beside him. The eunuch quickly passed by from time to time and rushed into the tidying hall. "Oh," the emperor stopped again and turned around and said, "Go, and spread the Dali Temple and the Censorate. Come to the Ministry of Justice. I want to meet my three courts of the Qing Dynasty."

"twitter."

Someone received the order, so there was no need to mention it. The emperor was walking in front of the car. Zheng Dunjin, Erle and Bu were on his side, pointing at him, "Here, I heard that every year, the most difficult season is the most difficult, isn't it? The water flooded the Three Juris, right?"

The emperor can joke, but others must not, nor dare to do so. "What the emperor said is that the three laws and regulations are flooded, and there are two reasons for the fact that water floods. First, the Ministry of Justice and other places have the lowest terrain. Every year, rainfalls and cannot be discharged, and it will become a pool of accumulated land. This can be called a natural disaster."

"There is a natural disaster, so in other words, there must be a **?"

"Some." Ele and Bu said, "The Ministry of Justice is most hindering the people's sentiment. It is also a matter of life and death. You must pay attention to everything. The original members of the upper and lower levels must be extremely cautious. Otherwise, you are afraid that the natural disaster will come before it comes."

"Yeah, yeah." Ele and Bu said this very much towards the emperor's temper. He nodded in praise when he heard this, "Emperor, the lobby of the Ministry of Justice is in front of him. There has been a solemn and murderous aura there since ancient times. I thought that it is better to ask the emperor to go to Baiyun Pavilion to discuss politics with you?"

"Okay, just go to Baiyun Pavilion."

The emperor and his ministers entered the pavilion and sat down. Erhe Bu, Zheng Dunjin, Lin Gongshu, Zhu Guangdi and others saluted for the second time. Before they could kneel down, the emperor stopped him, "Sit all, sit all the time. Today, I came to the Ministry of Justice. It was a whim. It was just a chance to seize such an opportunity. I will say a few words to the king and his ministers."

While speaking, Shen Huai, Weng Xincun, Chongshi and other officials from the three judicial departments came one after another. He led by Su Shun to enter the pavilion and bowed, "All up, sit down. I, this evil guest, came uninvited, so you don't have time to spare."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for your boldness and say something that doesn't know the ranks and heights. The emperor has always been a bad guest for only once, when he was in the military office, he was in charge of two members of the military office. Since then, among the six ministries, which one of them is not waiting for the rabbit, hoping to see another good story of the reincarnation of the Han Dynasty. This time, the emperor treated himself as a bad guest, but he also took a fancy to which of the three judicial departments?"

The emperor burst into laughter at Chongshi's words, "You are nearly fifty years old, right? Are you still so naughty?"

"Slaves dare not, they just keep a childlike heart."

After a few jokes, the emperor looked around, "When the Military Affairs Office called Daqi today, I told Zhao Guang that if you want to have a clear and clear political situation, the first thing you need is judicial justice. So this time I took the time to the Ministry of Justice to discuss this matter with you, the experts in the Qing Dynasty's criminal name. Today, we are not guilty. I think, no matter what everyone says, it is for the long-lasting Qing Dynasty, and the unremitting unity is endless, huh?"

Everyone looked around. Since the emperor said that he wanted to discuss this matter, the subtext was that the method of punishment and name practiced is still not perfect? ​​But where is the unfulfilled place? "Zhu Guangdi," the emperor waited for a while, and saw that no one answered, so he had to click. "You have been in the dust for many years and have been in charge of the case of punishment and name. If you talk about reality, your experience is the most abundant, you can talk first."

"Yes." Zhu Guangdi gave the emperor a piece of Zhu Yu in the middle of the 16th year of Xianfeng. He transferred the emperor to the capital for use. As soon as he entered the capital, he took the position of the second-rank left minister of the Ministry of Justice, and could be said to be high and powerful. However, being an official in the capital was different from being in the province. He had to think about the various relationships between him and him. Zhu Guangdi himself was not as good as this, and in the end he had no choice but to ask someone to go through Sushun's way and exchange posts with him to become brothers, so that he could get out of such trivial matters of welcome.

Hearing the emperor called himself, he could not avoid it. "I think that the emperor's kind king is hard to find even if he reads all the history. Especially since the 12th year of Xianfeng, the emperor and his ministers visited Puning Temple. They made it a perfect law and promoted the edict that will always abolish the evil law since I was young. Since I was educated by my master, I have only seen it in my life. I have read it and tears of tears!

The emperor felt strange. Is it so exaggerated? Looking at everyone, they were all excited and moved, "Your Majesty, what Master Zhu said was very much. In the 12th year of Xianfeng, I was in charge of Hunan and was moved to see the emperor promulgation from the whole country. I was so moved that I could not do anything. I was thinking about the people, worried about the people as sad as my heart, and pity the people as my son, and there were no more people below Zulong."

The emperor felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't listen to you to praise you and tell me serious things."

"Yes." Zhu Guangdi's artificiality was a bit real. Since the court abolished the law of implication forever, the people in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other provinces have been greatly governed. All letters say that the emperor is concerned about the people, and the people are not heartless. As long as he can have a meal, he will not do such acts of committing crimes! The emperor in Beijing was sad and sad. "I was briefly defeated by the emperor and entrusted him with the high position of the Left Minister of the Ministry of Justice. I always think of serving the country and the king. Due to the limitations of the minister's duties, my ears and eyes may not be broad, but the income is based on three factors of punishment. I would like to analyze it for the emperor."

"Yes," the emperor nodded and sat up straight unconsciously, "You said, I'll listen."

"If you talk about one of the bad policies, it is that the people in the world regard the name of punishment as a low-level service. Why? Take a county as an example. The county is set up by the six ministries, households, rituals, and workmen. Everyone wants to be sideways. One is that the reputation is good; the other is that it is profitable. The remaining three rooms can hide if they can, and avoid them if they can. There is really no way to avoid them. When on duty, they work hard, and live by and wait for death. Especially the punishment room is the most important. This is not for profit or for bad reputation. However, the punishment room is all small matters of the country neighbors. Occasionally, big cases have to be done, and hard work has to be done. What's more, the punishment room is not as good as tax. The latter is always a few months after a year. As long as the comparison is stepped up, the punishment room can always be completed, but the punishment room is never divided by seasons."

"Well, what about the second one?"

"The second is to complement the first one. The errand is so difficult to handle, how can the people around you be willing to join? I would like to give an example, and the emperor will understand. This is the coroner's line. This line is the most special, and all you handle are corpses that have been dead for a long time. It would be fine if it was really a dry bone in the tomb, but there was also something that was not completely ****, full of odor..."

He only said this and interrupted Chen Huai, "Brother Xingzhan, how can you say these disrespectful words in front of the emperor?"

The emperor knew that Chen Huai was old and no longer had the courage and spirit that he had pointed directly at the embroidered clothes back then, but he still cherished his feathers very much. He waved his hand comfortably, signaled that Chen Huai was not impatient, and gave Zhu Guangdi a wink, asking him to continue, "... Although the coroner's rank is not respectable, it is also a must. Now there are fewer and fewer practitioners. When the minister was appointed as the Jin Provincial People's Provincial People's Office in the 16th year of Xianfeng, there are only fifty-three coroners in the province."

"Is that little?"

"The emperor, I think that the number of coroners is small, which can also indicate that the unnecessary useless place - there is no case of armed fighting and revenge in the countryside. Naturally, it is also useless coroners. In this way, the number of people will naturally be reduced!"

The emperor did not expect that Chen Huai could come up with such an answer in this moment. Logically speaking, it was quite reasonable, but looking at Zhu Guangdi's face, he was dissatisfied, which showed that he did not agree with his slap in his heart. He smiled and said, "You continue to say, and then say."

"Yes. There are few coroner practitioners, and it is secondly. The most important thing is that the coroner industry relies entirely on oral teaching. The practitioners do not have any formal and systematic training. Therefore, there are many cases in each province."

This time the emperor did not interrupt again, but turned around and picked up the apricot pear that Sushun had brought to Jingyu and chewed it in his mouth, "The third is another reason why the case is full of mountains. There are such murder cases in the province, and the investigating personnel are not enough to use them, and they cannot have the effect of investigating the case at all. Therefore, the murderer is always allowed to escape from the tragedy, or hide in the mountains and forests, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"There are few people, no professional training, and the truth is not prosperous. It's about these three points?" The emperor nodded at Zhu Guangdi and asked the people next to him, "Where are you? Do you have any other opinions?"

With Zhu Guangdi Zhu Yu in front of him, others have to write more. If you think you can't match him, don't just say it, so as not to look down on the emperor. Some people even secretly hate Zhu Guangdi and will show their own popularity! The emperor asked you to say it, just say a few words, and always leave some advice for others. This is great, and we will block our words back into our stomachs. Do you think you can see the emperor every day? Do you think it's the shopkeeper of the big wine jar at the door? The bastard who will show their own popularity!

Weng Tonghe pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Okay. Tell me too."

Weng Tonghe was reborn in September of the 14th year of Xianfeng. After entering Beijing, the emperor asked him to work in the Hanlin Academy for two years and then took charge of the university's audit. In the 18th year of Xianfeng, he was appointed as the deputy left-level censor, under Shen Huai, managing Baitai. Some people say that Weng Tonghe He later transferred the Chongshi imperial family to the capital, and his seniority was obvious that such an appointment was paving the way for him to enter the Military Affairs Office in the future!

What Weng Tonghe was going to say was not a matter of other provinces, and he had no experience of being outside, so what he could talk about was the various disadvantages that were covered by the three-point land in the capital, and his eyes were all boring after hearing a few words. His ears seemed to be listening, but his spirit turned to Zhu Guangdi's answer.

***************************************************

After waiting for a while, the emperor thought of a solution, waved his hand and asked him to stop, "What you said is not something to do with me, you and Shen Huai, the general manager of Baitai, what is the role of Baitai? I want to support me, criticize the traitors, and restore the people to a clear and clear sky! The officials made mistakes, and they asked you to criticize them with names. Isn't it? I told me that there are mistakes here and there are evils. I haven't seen many impeachment memorials coming up on Baitai! I don't think you really know what's up!"

Weng Tonghe made a big blushing face, and Qiqi Ai Ai couldn't speak.

"Let's continue to discuss the matter." He turned his head and looked at Zhu Guangdi, "I have thought about the three bad policies you just reported. Some of them should be handled quickly. Some of them might as well slow down. For example, if a murder case occurs, the murderer is on the run, this end. Let's use a metaphor to explain the matter. Is it because of oppression, many resentment broke out and killing people, or is it a quarrel and fight, causing casualties to the other party? Or is there really such a crazy person who plots other people's assets and commits murder? Many cases must be investigated seriously and carefully. Moreover, although I don't understand the case handling, I understand the word "human heart". No matter why the murderer takes action, he always regrets it. And in his hometown, does he have a wife and children, or does he have two elders in the hall? If so, he will run away, would he not have any desire to be close to his relatives?"

"...I don't say that all these people will have, but some are the majority after all, right? As long as he has this heart, the court will always give people a glimmer of hope. Starting from the end of this month, all the files of accumulated cases in various provinces, from the first year of Xianfeng, were transferred to Beijing. Don't be afraid of trouble, don't be afraid of hard work. In your opinion, it's just yellowed files and cold names. But in the hearts of wives, children, old and young, they are all in the sky!"

"The three law ministers of the Three Laws will carefully search. Apart from what I just said, the third type of person, I think I might as well give you a way out. I can avoid the crime of death. Return to my hometown to surrender, be detained, be sentenced to imprisonment, or be sentenced to imprisonment. I will punish the crimes according to the law. Well, there is not enough manpower, I will give you the money. If the funds are insufficient, I will ask Yan Jingming to find a way. At the same time, I will write to all provinces. I will not do this to wipe out the accumulated cases for many years, but to give those criminals who are temporarily blinded by greed, anger and desire to avoid being a ghost in a foreign land."

"Emperor's wise!" Zhu Guangdi shouted loudly and was the first to kneel down. "Even if I have fought my life in this matter, I will put the emperor's love for the people into practice! I am willing to go to the province in person to let the people know what the emperor said!"

"Also, there are so many files and documents, I'm afraid you can't be busy. In this way, I'll let students from the Imperial College, Hanlin Academy and the University come to the Ministry of Justice to handle this matter with you. This matter cannot be completed in one day or two, one or two years. You must distinguish the main and the secondary, and you must not let those who are unrepentant and take the opportunity to escape. Hum?"

"Third, it is the saying that the people think that the name of punishment is a low-level service, and there is another reason why coroners are scarce, which... is a bit difficult to deal with."

Su Shun took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. He touched Jingyu who was standing beside him and pointed at him. The latter nodded and understood. He pushed open the door with a small voice and walked in sideways. He saw the emperor lowering his head to meditate and walked to him, "Your Majesty, it's too late, and the palace gate is about to set aside."

"Wait a little longer."

Jingyu was the most useful maid around the emperor. Everyone in the Qing Dynasty knew that although she was nameless, she might not give in more than the queens. Therefore, without waiting for her eyes to come, Erhe Bu and Zheng Dunjin slid from the throne and their bodies were half shorter. "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and I'm asking for long live back to the palace."

"I would like to ask for a long time to return to the palace."

The emperor was stunned and turned around and looked at Jingyu, "Is this your trick again?"

"I didn't say anything and did nothing!"

"Okay, okay. I said you wrongly. OK?" The emperor nodded and smiled. "I originally wanted to settle this matter today, but after Zhu Guangdi's words, I realized that there are many problems, and it will not be a moment's effort! Alas? When tomorrow, you guys hand in the sign and we will continue to discuss it."
Chapter completed!
