Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 76 Aiqing is still old habits, what is Lian Kucheng doing like this?
Qin Mo shook his hands: "Your Majesty, looking back, there is still a strategy to cooperate with the reform of the military system."

Ying Zheng nodded and called for dinner, then continued to eat and watch in the gazebo.

The latter is about the selection, appointment and dismissal of missionaries. Military missionaries are different from military judges, and even more different from military censors.

The content and ideas of the preaching also need to be specified by the court, so as not to talk nonsense and preach a set of nondescript things.

Therefore, before the missionary officer takes office, he needs to receive training from the imperial court.

Extending from this, it is the Martial Arts Academy. Since it is necessary to train missionaries, why not train other generals and military judges in the army as well?
Today, the world is peaceful, there are fewer wars, the old generals are gradually withering, and it is difficult for rookies in the army to get experience. The martial arts hall can be used to pass on the precious war experience.

Veteran generals who are not in command of the army enter the martial arts hall to serve as instructors, and the generals with more than [-] masters in the army all enter the martial arts hall for rotation training.

In the future, one hundred generals will be promoted to five hundred generals, and they will also need to enter the martial arts hall for training.

In this way, the thoughts of the generals can also be unified, so as to prevent others from instigated and agitated to do stupid things!
"Very doable."

Ying Zheng nodded appreciatively, and then handed the general system reform strategy to Zhao Gaodao: "Send it to your ministers to have a look, and discuss it in detail."

"If you have no objections, you will immediately transfer it to Xianyang and order Taiwei Feng to implement it quickly. If you have any objections, you will write additions, deletions, and revisions."

"In addition, I ordered all ministers and doctors to work together to compile the thoughts taught by the missionary officer immediately. After the book is completed, it will be handed over to me and Qin Qing for review!"

"Here."

Zhao Gao took the brochure in response, and went to find the accompanying officials.

"The Zhao government order is waiting."

Qin Mo hurriedly stopped him, and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the reform of the military system must be coordinated with the reform of the county and county officials. Your Majesty, let's read the next volume."

Ying Zheng didn't talk nonsense, and continued to read the next volume.

Qin Mo's original intention to change the military system was that the power and responsibilities of the county soldiers were unclear, and it was easy to link up with the county officials.

Because the garrison soldiers in the counties of Daqin actually also had police duties, and the county lieutenant was equivalent to the chief of the police department.

So to some extent, the county soldiers are a bit like the armed police.

Fight against bandits and bandits in the territory, that's all.

From time to time, I have to do a small task to assist the county, county and township officials to catch a strong man or a thief, because in a county, only the county lieutenant has soldiers in his hands.

The rest of the county lieutenant, youjiao, pavilion chief, etc., although they are also in charge of public security, they are all more soldiers, and they are definitely not as good as the county soldiers, so everyone wants to use the county soldiers.

This is also the reason why the county soldiers and generals will get involved with the county officials!

According to Qin Mo's vision, the army is the army, and the police are the police, and they should not be mixed unless there are special circumstances.

The reform of the prefecture and county official system extended from this is to separate the military administration from the public security, put the public security under the civil administration, and set up criminal judges.

Thus, a true separation of powers was formed, military administration, civil administration, and criminal law.

Among them, the military administration of the county is the most independent, and the military leader of the county will no longer be called a county captain, but will return to the captain or general, and will be directly controlled by the emperor and the Taiwei mansion.

It is only responsible for suppressing rebellions, emergency rescue and disaster relief, fighting bandits and bandits in the territory, and training male soldiers every year.

No longer intervene in the specific matters of public security in the county!
As for the civil affairs, there is nothing to say, it is still the same old style, but the public security responsibility of catching robbers and traitors is also assigned to the civil affairs, and the county officials are also in charge.

However, the thieves and rapes caught by public security will be handed over to criminal judges for verification, determination of responsibility, and trial, and county officials have no right to intervene.

The same goes for any civil disputes.

Moreover, at the time of the trial, there must be five elderly people who have reached the age of exemption from military service as jurors, who are randomly selected from among the elderly people under the rule, and the food and housing are changed every ten days. They are called civilian jurors.

Civilian jurors may not understand the law, but they can reject the sentence of the county captain and county captain based on simple emotional morality, and then re-examine the trial. If the retrial fails three times, it will be handed over to the court for disposal...

In addition to the separation of the three powers, there are Yushi and Jinyiwei, who monitor openly and secretly, act independently, and ensure the cleanliness of officials to the greatest extent!
"It is very feasible to reform the official system of the county and county... Well, why are there still papers?"

Ying Zheng flipped through to the end, and was about to conclude his statement, but found that there were a few folded papers under the booklet.

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached into his sleeves and touched.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "These folded papers are Ai Qing's private letters?"

Qin Mo shook his head and explained: "It's not a private letter, but about the reform of the official system at the center of the imperial court."

"But I haven't thought about it thoroughly yet, and there are many deficiencies. Your Majesty doesn't need to look at it."

Ying Zheng suddenly nodded, and immediately began to watch without politeness.

A few pieces of paper are really not enough to summarize the center of the huge court, but the rough outline of it has already begun to take shape.

Among the three lords, the imperial censor and the Taiwei remained unchanged, and the front and rear middle ministers were added to the phase, dividing the power of phase into five, and jointly assisting the emperor, forming a de facto system of cabinet ministers.

As for Jiuqing, he changed his bottom to the sky.

First of all, the official positions serving the royal family were eliminated, and the unified jurisdiction of the inner government was established.

The rest were changed to six ministries, namely, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. Under the six ministries, there are 24 divisions, each of which is in charge of a government, with clear powers and responsibilities.

"Good! Great good!"

After Yingzheng finished reading it in a flash, he couldn't help but praise again and again, and handed over the official system reform and folded paper to Zhao Gaodao: "I also send it to the ministers for detailed discussion."

"The reform of the prefecture and county official system is the same as the reform of the military system. If there is no objection, it will be transferred to Xianyang, and Prime Minister Zuo Wang Wan will be ordered to carry it out. If there is any objection, it will be added, deleted, and revised."

"In addition, let the ministers and doctors carefully consider the reform of the central government system. After Baiyue is settled, I will implement it!"

"Here."

Zhao Gao took the order, and seeing that Qin Mo had nothing to order, he hurried out of the back office.

Ying Zheng felt happy in his heart, looking at the haggard Qin Mo, he didn't feel distressed, but was very grateful.

This melon, if he hadn't experienced some changes, how could he be so angry that he would write tens of thousands of words of military and political outlines in just three days?
If you waited for him to ponder over it slowly, you might have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to receive this Wanyan book!
Yingzheng thought this way, but his mood became more cheerful. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes in front of him, wanting to have a drink with wine.

However, when the dish was brought to his mouth, Yingzheng suddenly felt something strange, shrugging his nose and sniffing.

His attention just now was all on the Wanyan book, and it was only now that he finally realized that the dishes he had eaten in front of him a long time ago smelled extremely strange, like the reincarnation of five grains...

Ying Zheng's face turned green, and he frowned and said, "Why is the taste of this dish so indecent?"

Seeing his embarrassing appearance, Qin Mo couldn't help laughing. The gloom of the past few days was also relieved, and he explained: "There is tofu in the yamen that has gone rancid, so I deep-fried it and mixed it with sauce. Stinky tofu."

Ying Zheng knew that the tofu was made by Qin Mo, and it tasted quite tender and smooth.

But if you continue to eat the rotten tofu, it will be very unappetizing!

Ying Zheng smacked his lips in distaste, as if wanting to vomit, and said angrily, "Aiqing is still in the old habit, why is Lian Kucheng doing this?"

Qin Mo laughed loudly and said, "This stinky tofu only smells stinky, but it tastes very delicious, just like the egg fried rice that was fried overnight."

Yingzheng was suspicious, smacked his lips carefully, tasted the remaining taste in his mouth, and said in surprise: "The taste is mellow!"

Try to pick up a piece again, muster up the courage to chew it in your mouth.

Crispy but not mushy, tender but not greasy, paired with spicy and salty sauce, it is indeed delicious.

Yingzheng picked up the wine bottle, sipped the wine while eating, and said very comfortably: "Aiqing's cooking skill is to turn decay into magic. The mellowness of this stinky tofu is even better than that of fried rice with eggs." .”

After speaking, he turned to Fusu and Yuanman who were accompanying him at the table and said, "I have already eaten half of the plate, my son will eat it."

Fusu: "..."

Yuan Man: "..."

The brothers and sisters looked at the half plate of black and stinky tofu, and couldn't help but grieve. You don't want to eat it, so kindly give it to us.

As a father, do you dare not cheat your child like this?

He has the same bad taste as Qin Mo, seeing the two are reluctant, he acts like a loving father instead, picks up a piece of stinky tofu with his own hands, and presents it in front of the two.

Fusu is an honest person, dare not disobey his father's order, close his eyes and open his mouth.

But Yuan Man was not so honest, his facial features were all shrunk into a ball, and he threw his head back desperately.

However, Ying Zheng's bad taste flared up, the more she didn't want to eat, the more Ying Zheng wanted to feed her.

The father and daughter handed each other forward, and the other leaned back. Finally, Yuan Man's back of the head touched the ground abruptly.

It's also thanks to her good dancing skills and her flexible body, otherwise Xiaoman's waist would have been sprained!
"Aiqing, is my son beautiful?"

Ying Zheng suddenly pointed to Yuan Man who had finished lowering his waist, and asked Qin Mo.

Yuan Man was embarrassed when he heard the words, and hurriedly sat up straight in embarrassment.

Ying Zheng stuffed the stinky tofu into her mouth, laughed loudly and said, "I can't treat you as a girl."

Yuan Man: "..."

Yuan Man chewed and swallowed resignedly, but soon his beautiful eyes lit up, and he praised: "It's really delicious."

Most of the women have no resistance to these strange delicacies. Don't you see that the snail noodles are popular in the later generations, not all women eat them.

Seeing the girl like this, Fusu felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart, and looked at Ying Zheng with his mouth open, waiting to be fed.

Ying Zheng glanced at him: "See what I'm doing? What if I don't have hands!"

Fu Su resentfully picked up the chopsticks, and went to pick up food to taste by himself. When he wanted to eat the second piece, the lacquer plate had already fallen into Yuan Man's hands.

Obviously, it's not for him!
Qin Mo looked at the family making fun, but was moved in his heart.

Whether it's monarchs and ministers, or friendship, how can he not appreciate this family's cooperation in comforting him?

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the corrupt officials in Nanyang County?" Qin Mo pulled himself together and asked Ying Zheng.

Yingzheng subconsciously said: "It is natural to judge his crimes, punish him according to the law, and make his relatives and relatives of the three clans slaves."

Speaking of this, he seemed to have realized something, and said again: "Ai Qing wants to ask for extrajudicial grace for the family of the Nanyang general?"

But he thought that Qin Mo wanted to plead for the families of those Nanyang generals.

Qin Mo hastily clasped his hands together and explained: "Qin established the country with the law, and even if the prince breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people, and the minister will definitely not do it..."

Ying Zheng interrupted him with a smile: "Although there are reasons for breaking the law, breaking the law is breaking the law."

"I will not give grace to the family of that generation, I can only treat them as slaves of the Hexi Kingdom, and Ai Qing will take care of them."

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, then got up and left the seat to pay respects: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand to let him not be too polite: "Ai Qing, please sit down, let's continue the banquet."

Qin Mo sat down again, most of the depression in his heart had dissipated, and raised his wine bottle to toast Ying Zheng.

Then, he said again: "Your Majesty's patrolling is to stabilize the hearts of the people. If the corrupt officials in Nanyang county only close their doors to judge and convict their crimes, they will not show your majesty's kindness."

"According to my opinion, it is better to invite the sufferer and the common people to attend the public trial."

"The officials of the county will be tried in the county, and the officials of the counties and towns will be tried in the counties and towns. After the trial, His Majesty will issue an order on the spot to declare the official punishment."

"In this way, the common people should appreciate His Majesty's investigation of traitors and eradicate evils, and also know His Majesty's legal power."

Yingzheng Danfeng's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "Very kind, this is what a king should do when he is patrolling a place!"

……

……

The next day, early morning.

Yingzheng issued an edict to publicly try the officials of Nanyang County in front of the Yamen, and the soldiers shouted along the street, inviting the people of Wancheng to attend the public trial in front of the Yamen.

Watching the bustle and seeing the emperor, the people are naturally keen on it. Before the morning dew has dissipated, they have surrounded the front of the yamen with three floors inside and three floors outside.

Looking around, there are dense crowds of people!

There is an earthen platform in front of the yamen, which is not high, long and wide. Li Si, the court officer, has been waiting on it, and there are several auxiliary officials beside him.

There are soldiers in the audience to maintain order and prevent people from crowding and trampling.

As for Ying Zheng, Qin Mo, and the accompanying people, they took their seats in the yamen hall behind the earthen platform, and there were mat curtains hanging on the open yamen door.

The yamen can see outside, but the outside cannot see inside.

Therefore, it is temporarily impossible for the people's wish to see the first emperor to come true.

But even so, the common people were still amazed by the battles on and off the stage!

Seeing that the people had almost gathered, Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Let's take the Nanyang county criminal to the stage for trial."

"Here."

An official of Tingwei's mansion took the order to go.

Leaning a little, an angry shout sounded outside the yamen: "Your Majesty has an order, the public trial begins!"

"Bring the Nanyang county magistrate to the stage for trial!"

With the sound of shouting and shouting, some soldiers escorted Sima Hui, who had the same name as Mr. Shui Jing, to the earth platform.

Li Si glanced at the embarrassed Sima Hui, unfolded a long bundle of bamboo slips with no expression on his face, and read aloud: "Sima Hui is forty-three years old. Count their crimes."

"Crime one, colluding with the county soldiers and generals, reselling the county's arsenal for personal gain."

"The second crime is to instigate officials and subordinates to resell the county treasury grain, grass and fertilizer for private use."

"The third crime is framing Gongsunye of Wancheng for rebellion, causing more than a hundred of his relatives to die in vain, and seizing his land and house for personal gain."

"Crime [-], forcibly taking the young girl Sang as concubine, tortured to death..."

As the crimes were read out one after another, the people's enthusiasm for watching the excitement gradually dissipated and turned into anger. The front of the Yamen fell into silence, only Li Si's blunt recitation echoed.

There are more than a hundred crimes of Sima Hui listed in total!

Li Si read so dryly that he threw the long bamboo slips on Sima Hui's body at the end, and shouted: "We have all the witnesses and material evidence, so you plead guilty?"

Sima Hui had lost all energy and energy, lying on the ground looking haggard, the soldier stepped forward and took his hand, drew a mark on the bamboo slips, and then sent the slips into the yamen.

Later, Zhao Gao came out from the yamen and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty's decree states that Sima Hui has committed a heinous crime. He will be punished with a thousand swords and cut in pieces, and he will be executed immediately."

"In addition, the relatives of the three clans are enslaved until death, and they are not allowed to be officials within five servings."

The people's spirits were shaken, and their anger was immediately vented, and the emperor's mighty voice sounded, shaking the heavens and the earth!

　It is said that explosion can improve grades, is it true? ?Can it go up by [-] a day?Damn, the concubine can't do it!
