Chapter 2038 Zheng Guoben ([-])
Wang Jiaping's mind exploded, but this is not the time to complain.He really wanted to see that Guoben was completely in order before he took up his post, and stop pestering him.This kind of thing will do too much damage to the country, and if it is not done well, there will be big troubles in the future, which must be resolved by oneself.

This is Wang Jiaping's insistence. For this reason, he is willing to overcome all difficulties, including enduring the fighting between Gao Yushi and Shen Yiguan—as long as this does not affect the smooth establishment of the crown prince.

"I just asked, what does Lord Jiaomen think of the emperor's Zhu Zhu?" Wang Jiaping asked again patiently.

"Oh, it's a good thing that Zhu Pi agreed to thoroughly investigate the Yikun Palace, but just now, Rixin Gong also mentioned that it seems that there are indeed some obstacles to how the three judicial departments of the outer court will play a role in this investigation." Shen Shen I haven't cleared my mind, so I try to procrastinate as much as possible.

Of course Wang Jiaping was dissatisfied with his answer, and immediately frowned and remained silent.Shen Yiguan also knew that what he said was just parroting what Gao Yushi said just now, and it was really meaningless, so he had to add: "Besides, the biggest trouble here is... If we first characterize yesterday's change as an attempt to kill the king , then it would be inconvenient for the Sanju to intervene."

This time, Shen Yiguan finally said a very important fact, that is, murdering the king is equivalent to conspiracy, and according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, major treason cases are not under the jurisdiction of the Three Laws.

Who cares?Return to the factory guard.

Now I have to talk about what kind of existence the real factory guard is.In the period before Gao Pragmatically Traveled, film and television works and academic research works with the theme of Dongchang, Xichang and Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty emerged in endlessly. Some of the more distinctive features of the factory guard.

For example, these institutions are not only secretive and ruthless, but also insidious and pervasive; the factory guards are favored by the emperor, and their edge is often directed at the officials in power, and most officials dare not speak out in front of the factory guards, etc. .

However, these are basically some descriptions of the external characteristics of the factory guards. It cannot be said that they are wrong, but they are definitely not comprehensive.If these external characteristics are exaggerated and emphasized one-sidedly, it is possible to form an untrue understanding of some historical issues.

For example, the question that Gao Yushi is facing now: What is the relationship between the factory guard and the judiciary in the Ming Dynasty?
Specifically, in the trial of individual cases, why is it that the system still has the design of the judiciary when no one dares to disobey the opinion of the head of the factory security "Zhongguan", and officials such as the Ministry of Punishment basically obey?If you want to answer this kind of question, you need to clarify the nature of the factory guard organization first, especially what is their nature and status in the entire imperial power system.

There is a view in the academic circles of later generations that factory guards are a special kind of supervisory agency.Indeed, factory guards did play an extremely important role in monitoring the behavior of officials.But it must be made clear that the supervision of factory guards is different from the traditional supervision of Gishizhong or the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Because it is directly appointed by the emperor, it often forms a strong psychological pressure on the object being monitored.This kind of psychological pressure also comes directly from the responsibilities of the factory guards themselves. Unlike other supervisory agencies such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they have a relatively fixed and relatively open set of rules and regulations for a long time, thus realizing the so-called "unknown punishment is impossible". measurement" effect.

Therefore, the supervisory function of the factory guard can be said to be a deformed supervisory function in the traditional imperial system, and the factory guard can only be integrated into the complete and strict supervisory officials of the imperial court when it is combined with the Shizhong, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the Judiciary. In the system, so as to achieve the original intention of its establishment.

Specifically, first of all, from the perspective of time, the establishment of Jinyiwei was earlier than that of the East and West Factory.As early as the 15th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to change Yiluan Division to Jinyiwei.Of course, before that, the main duties of Yiluan Division were the functions of guards of honor and guards. Not only did they not have the power to detect and arrest, but they did not even have the functions of picketing in front of the palace and maintaining the purge of the court since the Song Dynasty.

After Yiluan Division was restructured into Jinyiwei, its rank has been raised, and its internal organization has also changed. Although it is still generally engaged in the original work, it has laid a certain foundation for the subsequent acquisition of the power of investigation.

Afterwards, although Jin Yiwei obtained a certain amount of investigative power, it was soon taken back because the "treacherous party" cases in the Hongwu period gradually subsided.Zhu Yuanzhang does not seem to hope that there will be another department with "head-to-toe" judicial functions outside the judicial department, no matter what major cases they investigate.

Therefore, his approach was "...to burn the guards and send them to the Ministry of Punishment for trial. In the 26th year of (Hongwu), he declared the prohibition, and ordered that the internal and external prisons should not be allowed to go to Jinyiwei, the big and small salty scriptures."

During Zhu Di's reign, out of political stability and other considerations, Jinyiwei was given a certain amount of investigative powers again. However, based on the same precautions against the Jinyiwei organization, Zhu Di set up the East Factory to supervise Jinyiwei to make up for some inherent defects of Jinyiwei. , and further strengthened the suspicion, prevention and surveillance of the ministers-although these behaviors were proved to be unable to achieve the expected results no matter at that time or later.

Since then, Dongchang's power has gradually expanded, encroaching on a large number of functions and powers that originally belonged to Jinyiwei, and at the same time, it was favored by the emperor because of its special organizational form such as being controlled by eunuchs.

Especially after Ji Gang was put to death, the emperor became more aware of the necessity of having a special institution in his hands to control his subordinates, so the East Factory continued to exist as a state permanent institution until the Chenghua Emperor Xianzong set up the West Factory again. The monitoring of power has been further strengthened.

There is a point of view that the division of power and honor between Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory is based on the Chenghua period, which is quite insightful.If we look at it from the perspective of institutional settings, we can indeed clearly see the difference in the expansion and contraction of the institutions before and after the formation.

The powers of factory guards are very broad, but later generations of scholars have discussed this issue quite clearly. Generally speaking, the powers of factory guards are related to supervisory power and judicial power, and generally include three aspects.

The first aspect is that the factory guard has the power to investigate and arrest.

"History of the Ming Dynasty Criminal Law Records" said that the targets of investigation and arrest were "thieves and traitors, street ditches".If the thieves referred to here can be defined more strictly according to Ming law or traditional law, then the content referred to by "traitor" is much broader, and it is difficult to give an accurate scope of power.

The original meaning of "jietugouwei" refers to markets, roads, field paths, canals, etc. It can be seen that this is also a general reference, and it does not mean that the main scope of responsibility of Jinyiwei is the above-mentioned specific areas.

It can be understood that Jin Yiwei has the power to investigate and arrest any behavior that may disrupt social order.In terms of nature, the investigation and arrest power at that time was not only closely related to the traditional judicial power of the three laws, but also often overlapped, and the extended power and responsibility were very vague and difficult to distinguish.

Moreover, the power extension of factory guards is more broad and unclear due to the characteristics of the system itself.For example, in the third year of Jingtai, the emperor had a special discussion on this issue.

"From now on, only if it is conspiracy, rebellion, deceitful words to confuse the public, spying on the affairs of the court, traffic to foreign barbarians in the palace, harboring traitors, and various warehouses and warehouses. According to the facts, it is almost impossible for the censor to cover the facts, and Fang Xu will be in charge of the trial.

For the rest of the matter, the victims are not allowed to report, they are not allowed to be entrusted with enmity, they are not allowed to slander the good, and they are not allowed to sell the actual money to the judiciary; "

From the original words of Emperor Jingtai, it can be seen that although Jin Yiwei's investigative authority is most representative of crimes that seriously endanger the ruling order, it does not prevent them from accepting the victim's report.

However, it is worth noting that whether it is self-arrest or acceptance of reports, the scope of duties of factory guards is basically still expanding on the basis of the functions of Jinyiwei Garrison.

As mentioned earlier, Jinyiwei itself has the duties of guarding the royal family. Although it is rather special, it is still a kind of traditional garrison army. Naturally, traditional tasks such as farming and fighting are inevitable.Similar to garrison troops such as soldiers and horses, including the duties of patrolling traffic in the capital, dredging rivers and even cleaning streets and alleys, they are also the daily duties of Jinyiwei.

Even in the Wanli period in the original history, there are direct records of Jinyi guards patrolling the streets and dredging rivers.However, this one has already been "liberated" by high pragmatism in the current world.

As mentioned earlier in this book, after the reform of the Beijing Camp, engineering tasks such as dredging the river have now been handed over to the Production and Construction Corps, and there is no need to worry about Jin Yiwei—of course, for this kind of task, the imperial court has to pay extra for production. Construction Corps allocated money.

In short, maintaining law and order in the capital must be an important part of the original Jinyiwei.However, since the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, some people in the Jinyiwei have split up and started to engage in some relatively secret tasks. Although this part of the people was also selected from the Jinyiwei, their scope of authority was actually delineated by the emperor.

Therefore, in this sense, Jinyiwei is more similar to a police force in a comprehensive sense. Some of them gradually differentiated into secret police, while most of them still need to perform police functions in a general sense.

Similar to the divided Jinyiwei, the investigation and arrest powers of the East and West factories were also specially conferred by the emperor.Since they don't need to undertake other work, they only obey the emperor's orders and can realize the emperor's own intentions. This also explains why the status of the East and West factories will be higher than that of the Jinyiwei in the future. The famous sentence "The leader of Dongchang is an eunuch, closer to the emperor than Jinyiwei" can be explained.

The above is mainly about the division of functions and formation process of factory guards, especially Jinyiwei. The second aspect is to talk about some of the judicial powers of factory guards.This point is also more closely related to the problems facing the current cabinet.

As we all know, factory guards have the right to detain, interrogate, and even collect evidence by torture, and can also impose some specific punitive punishments.It should be noted that the detention here is not imprisonment in the sense of punishment, but a measure of temporary deprivation of personal liberty awaiting trial or pending trial.

Compared with the rule of law society of later generations, this kind of power sounds very reactionary, but everything cannot be separated from the background of the times, and this kind of power has its meaning at this moment.In the case that Jin Yiwei and others have the power to investigate and arrest, it is actually very necessary to have this power.

At the same time, this kind of detention is not exactly equivalent to the imperial prison set up by the emperor.From the perspective of its institutional setup, Jinyiwei has a Zhenfusi similar to other military guards, and the prison of Jinyiwei is the Zhenfusi Prison.

For a long time, Jinyiwei and Dongxichang have been notorious for their harsh punishments. As early as when Zhu Yuanzhang was handling the Lanyu case, Jinyiwei became Zhu Yuanzhang's scapegoat because of "illegal abuse and many killings". Zhu Yuanzhang burned his torture instruments His behavior is more like a means to exonerate himself.

According to the records of "Wanli Ye Huo Bian", the conditions of the Zhenfu Prison are extremely bad, which is very different from that of the Judicial Prison.It adopts an underground or semi-underground construction method, the walls are very thick, and the sound cannot be transmitted.The treatment of the inmates is also extremely poor. There is not much food left after being checked and seized. There is no charcoal fire or warm clothes when it is severe cold, and relatives are not allowed to visit.

It is precisely because of the combination of the pervasiveness of his detective actions and the cruelty of the torture methods that the emperor used this to deter officials, and the power of factory guards became more and more unscrupulous.

In addition to detention and interrogation, the court rod is another temporary punishment measure controlled by eunuchs and Jin Yiwei.

Although at the beginning of its formation, the imperial staff was more of a punishment measure and a deterrent method for courtiers who offended the emperor and spoke out, but later it became more and more widely used. Hold it firmly in your hand.

However, this power has little to do with the problems encountered by the cabinet at this time, so I will skip it here.

Speaking of the third aspect, factory guards can use special procedures to participate in judicial trials in a substantial sense. This kind of power can be regarded as a power of legal supervision in a sense.

According to the records of "History of Ming Dynasty Criminal Law Records", Jin Yiwei could be imprisoned outside the Meridian Gate together with the Judiciary, and for some serious cases, they could also be tried in a joint trial after autumn.

In such trials, the eunuchs and Jin Yiwei who were in charge of ceremonies often had relatively great power, and even the eunuchs in charge of ceremonies could also act as the presiding officer and play a pivotal role in the trial.However, this does not mean that factory guards have full judicial power.

For example, Lin Jun, Shangshu of the Jiajing Dynasty, once said: "The ancestors used punishment and prison to pay the judiciary, no matter how big or small, they all listened to Pingzhi. Since Liu Jin and Qian Ning used their affairs, they were full-time governors, and they caused unjust prisons, and the law and discipline were greatly damaged."

Since then, the Jiajing Dynasty has carried out some useful explorations in regulating the participation of factory guards in the judiciary. For example, if it is related to corrupt officials and unjust prisons, it still needs to be brought to the Tribunal for interrogation and defense. Listen to the detectives of the factory guards and listen to the heavens.

In other words, before the factory guard gradually gained power, or even during the process of gradually gaining power, the factory guard could not "full-time judicial", that is, he could not complete the entire judicial process alone.

Even after obtaining the right to hear certain cases, it must be clear that this power is in a sense completely benefited from the arbitrariness of the emperor's Sacred Heart, but whenever there is any opportunity, the civil official group will never let this situation Appear.

It is precisely because of this that these special cases are usually directed at the civilian group. Rather than saying that this is the expansion of the authority of institutions such as factory guards, it is better to say that it is a manifestation of the contradiction between the imperial power and the civil group.

To sum up, it is biased to define the factory guard as a secret service agency or a judicial agency.

If it is defined as a secret service agency, it will deny the functions of the factory guards, especially the Jinyiwei, to maintain social order and guard the royal family, which is too narrow; and the factory guards are listed with the three legal departments, and even the leader of the factory guards in some cases It is too lenient to think that factory guards have complete judicial functions for some manifestations of power play.

Of course, after some distortions of the powers of the factory guards objectively appeared, their nature cannot be summarized by simple judicial functions. Even the emperor himself can control it at any time.

However, at least at the beginning of the establishment of the relevant institutions, this system designed specifically for the civil servants has some specific functions in the judiciary, just like its functions in politics, supervision, and military issues. constitute a certain degree of restriction and checks and balances.

Or it can be said that the establishment of factory guards is for the purpose of dividing the power that the civil servant group regards as life, and quickly diluting its professionalism immediately, so as to facilitate the imperial power to intervene in it more conveniently.

Generally speaking, when A constitutes a check and balance against B, B should also have a check and balance effect on A; that is to say, the three legal departments in the traditional bureaucratic system must also form certain checks and balances and restrictions on factory guards, so as to benefit the emperor. Achieving a dominant position with considerable advantages in the balance of power.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the so-called "emperor's mind" that has been maintained for thousands of years in traditional imperial society is the original intention behind the factory guard system.

As a result, a joint investigation and internal and external trial mechanism with great Ming characteristics emerged, that is, the Sanju Division, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei simultaneously investigated a certain case, and then presided over the trial together.Of course, generally speaking, cases that require such drastic action are often either major or particularly sensitive.

However, the main targets of the above situation are almost all officials, and the problem facing the cabinet now is that the target of the investigation has been replaced by a concubine.

Due to the "technical problem" mentioned by Gao Yushi that the three judges of the outer court cannot enter the harem, the cabinet elders—of course mainly referring to Wang Jiaping, Gao Wushi and Shen Yiguan who are still in charge of affairs—need to Find an at least barely passable way to make accommodations within the original institutional framework.

Just now Shen Yiguan said, "If yesterday's change is first characterized as an intention to kill the king, then it would be inconvenient for the Sanju to intervene." This statement is clearly purposeful.The reason is that the "paradox" he proposed will definitely not be accepted by Wang Jiaping.

What he meant was: now either we don't define yesterday's incident as regicide, or we can only watch as the Sanju can't intervene in the investigation.

The theoretical source of his sentence is what Emperor Jingtai said above, "In the future, it will be conspiracy, rebellion, deceitful words to confuse the public, and spying on the court affairs... News."

What does Emperor Jingtai mean by this?Specific to the current issue, that means that yesterday's incident must first be investigated and verified, and then the censor must pass the review before he is allowed to be arrested and interrogated.

See, Shen has always nailed this matter firmly to his previous thoughts.That is to say, once the cabinet decides that what happened yesterday is regicide (that is, treason), then it can only ask Dongchang to go to Yikun Palace to collect evidence, and the "censor" of the outer court can only be responsible for reviewing these evidences.Finally, when the "censors" confirm that the evidence is correct, the arrest and follow-up measures can be carried out.

The loophole here is obvious, that is, who can ensure that Dongchang will not tamper with the evidence collection process?Since your imperial censor can only make a judgment based on the evidence sent by Dongchang, then I will directly give you some meaningless so-called evidence, and you can still conclude that "Zheng Huangguifei intends to kill the king" ?

The system has now become Shen's usual bargaining chip.

Wang Jiaping couldn't think about it, he vaguely felt that Shen Yiguan was resistant to this matter, but he didn't understand where this resistance came from.In Wang Jiaping's view, Shen Yiguan and the entire School of Heart behind him support Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor. It stands to reason that he should not have any good feelings for Zheng Huangguifei, and should even regard it as a confidant's trouble. There is no reason to keep her. hand.

If this is the case, then Shen Yiguan's current attitude seems to only mean that he really believes that there is no solution to this matter.

Wang Jiaping had no choice but to turn his attention to Gao Yushi again, hoping that the youngest but most outstanding minister in the cabinet could provide some constructive suggestions.

Gao Wushi met Wang Jiaping's expectant eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "It is the Taizu's will that the outer court cannot send people into the palace to verify it. My descendants dare not violate it, but Yuanfu, as long as some key figures in the outer court It is powerful enough, and things may not be as bad as imagined."

"Oh?" Wang Jiaping was dubious and asked, "Who are the key people?"

Gao Wushi looked at Shen Yiguan, smiled happily, and said, "Jiaomen Gong's disciple——Criminal Section Chief Qian Menggao."

Wang Jiaping was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Of course! Ri Xin is indeed the chief writer of the old "Hui Dian", these words are really clear, and they hit the nail on the head!"

Gao Wushi smiled humbly and praised him repeatedly, while Shen Yiguan's complexion changed drastically, as if he had swallowed a big blowfly alive, but he had to be "polite" in his mouth: "Although Qian Sheng claims to be capable, after all, he is still very capable. Lack of experience, such a big event, I'm afraid..."

Wang Jiaping waved his hands again and again, and interrupted: "Hey, you don't have to be overly humble. The noble family is known as a capable official, and has been famous for many times in the past. This is also true for a righteous minister. Now the court is facing such an important case. , and he happens to be the chief of the criminal department, isn't it a godsend that enables him to make a great contribution to the world?"

Gao Wushi added: "Yuanfu's words are very true. With the section chief Qian here, how could Dongchang and Jinyiwei have made a fake? Once this case is confirmed, Section Chief Qian will be famous all over the world. As Section Chief Qian's benefactor, his name will last forever."

Shen Yiguan opened his mouth, but he really couldn't argue anymore, so he could only say with a dry smile: "Thanks to Er Gong's high opinion..." Speaking of this is the limit, he really can't say more scene words.

You may be curious why Gao Wushi suddenly involved Qian Menggao again, and why Shen Yiguan wanted to refuse but couldn't.In fact, this has to go back to the "mutual checks and balances" between the factory guard and the three legal departments mentioned above.

As I said just now, the establishment of the factory guards itself is to check and balance the three courts controlled by the civil official group, but since the civil official group can compete with the imperial power for 200 years, especially Yi's generation?Naturally, they will also come up with a set of methods that can counterbalance the factory guards.

You may have already guessed this method, which is to rely on the Taoist officials.

As mentioned earlier in this book, although Dongchang has great power, its manpower is actually very limited. Therefore, Dongchang actually uses Jinyiwei as its executive agency many times.

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, so they have a set of procedures and methods for entering the palace, and there is no taboo that foreign court officials are not allowed to enter the harem.As long as there is an order from the emperor, they can enter the palace to perform related tasks according to the usual rules.Of course, this is also easy to understand. After all, Jin Yiwei is also responsible for part of the guarding work of the palace. If he can't enter, he is still guarding a ghost?
Well, since Jinyiwei is the actual executive body of Dongchang, in other words, as long as someone can restrict Jinyiwei, it will be difficult for Dongchang to cheat in this matter.

Who can limit Jin Yiwei?According to Jin Yiwei's upcoming mission, one of the corresponding one of the six subjects has this ability.

Here is an example. In the 47th year of Wanli in the original history, Luo Sigong, who was then the commander of Jinyiwei, talked about a specific event in his memorial, which was recorded in "Records of Shenzong":
"Renwushuo, July 47th year of Wanli: Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei's guards, wrote: The minister's yamen is actually related to the criminal department's duties. Anyone who is ordered to mention a person must use a driving letter. The criminal department will name him and then obey. Yesterday. After the department was confided by Yao Ruoshui in the matter, it has now been transferred out. There are no officials in the whole department.

All things can still be slowed down, but it is the purpose of arresting people, and immediately send officials to hold the driving letter and set off to play back, without daring to stop for a moment.Now that the affairs of the Liao Dynasty have broken down, please ask for arrests repeatedly. If you agree to do it, the minister wants to wait and invite the minister.If you want to follow orders, you may call it a violation of the law, and it is also a crime.General Fuqi saw that Zeng Ruzhao and Han Jisi were serving in the waiting criminal department.stay in. "

Zhu Yijun didn't approve of this memorial, so let's ignore that. Here we mainly talk about the problems mentioned by Luo Sigong.

The specific events mentioned by Luo Sigong are not explained here, but only some important information points:

The most important point is that although Jin Yiwei's arrest of criminals is to act according to the order, they must also have "driving notes" as evidence, and the circulation procedure of such "driving notes" is very complicated.

Generally speaking, the "driving post" is first issued by the emperor's instruction, and then handed over to the eunuch for posting and printing. Also known as "Red Book").

After Jin Yiwei obtained the "driving note" with both text and seal, it could not be used directly to arrest the prisoner. He still needed to take this red book to the criminal department to sign and approve it. Strictly compare the memorial with the content contained in the "driving post" to ensure that everything is safe before signing the "driving post".

It is also necessary to draw with an ink pen under the name of the criminal to prevent arbitrary additions, deletions and tampering, and then hand it over to Jin Yiwei, who can use this to arrest him.If you want to go out of the city to take people out of the city defense, you also need to stamp the customs defense with various doors.

According to historical records, although there were some cases of coercion when the power of factory guards was at its peak, the civil official group never gave up on two key points: one is that the "driving post" is handed over to Shizhong for signing When approving, the original reference copy that has been approved must be attached for mutual comparison; the second is that the "driving post" itself must be signed and approved by Shizhong to take effect.

Some people may think, isn't it just to find a sign in the matter, what restrictions does this have?

There are, and there are two.First, if I don't sign, you have no right to perform the task, and whether I sign early or late is up to me, and you Jin Yiwei can only wait; second, when I signed, the task was clarified. If you don't implement it properly in the end, it's entirely your Jin Yiwei's fault, and I can use this to hold you accountable afterwards.

Readers who are familiar with administrative procedures should be able to see by this time that Jinyiwei, as an executive agency, actually needs six departments to give corresponding approval and decentralization to the matter before performing tasks, and to accept their review afterwards as supervision, pure and simple He is just a worker, and he has no control over himself.

Let's not talk about how powerful the "delegation of power" is. After all, in this incident, it is impossible not to delegate power to the middle of the matter.Just talking about this post-mortem review... This thing is actually a king bomb.

What is review?That is to say, whether the thing you handed in is qualified or not is up to me to decide in the matter.

This means that if I think that something submitted by Jin Yiwei is not good, then it is not good, and you have to investigate and collect evidence again until I think it is "qualified".

what is this?This is shooting first and then drawing the target.You can tell Jin Yiwei what I want first, and you Jin Yiwei will find it for me, don't say you can't find it, I don't care about that, I just want the evidence I said!

This system is clearly explained, so the high-practical intentions can't be more obvious: Qian Menggao is your most trusted protégé, right?That's great, he happened to be in charge of the criminal department, and he was in charge of this matter.Then ask Section Chief Qian to "clear the target" for Jin Yiwei. We must find the evidence that our cabinet wants now, otherwise... hehe.

The reason why Shen Yiguan seems to have swallowed a fly is because of Gao Wushi's actions, he either gave up his previous idea, so that Dongchang could not cover up the real situation in Yikun Palace; or... he had to give up Qian Menggao.

The former situation is easy to understand. After all, if the chief of the criminal department suppresses Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei's failure to complete the task will inevitably arouse the emperor's wrath, which is a crime that cannot be tolerated.The latter may be relatively difficult to understand. Why do you say that you can only give up Qian Menggao?
The reason is that although the six departments are excellent, the cabinet is the head of the civil service group after all, and it is still easy to kill a section chief in terms of political future.

Now Wang Jiaping and Gao Wu have clearly reached a consensus on this issue. If Shen always does not cooperate, that is, he does not ask Qian Menggao to force Jin Yiwei, then Wang and Gao can use the name of a collective cabinet decision to make Qian Menggao a The target of public criticism in the outer court was regarded as a traitor to the entire civil official group, and he was completely killed.

The system is a good thing, it depends on who knows how to use it better.
