Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 201 0196 [Not sticking to cause and effect]

Cai Jing sent people back to Puzhou to let the officials and gentry make trouble for Zhu Ming.

Zheng Juzhong also sent someone to inform Puzhou Tongpan Tian Ruyong to try his best to win over Zhu Ming.

Since Zheng Juzhong was promoted to prime minister a few months ago, the conflict with Cai Jing has been completely intensified.As long as anyone offends Cai Jing, Zheng Juzhong will show goodwill, even if he can't become one of his own, at least he is a potential partner.

Such a style really wins over many officials.

In the original words of "History of the Song Dynasty", "Keep the discipline in the center, abide by the rules, suppress luck, shake and stagnate, and scholars discuss and hope to govern."

That is to say, Zheng Juzhong was more disciplined than Cai Jing, paid more attention to the inherent procedures of governance, and knew how to promote underappreciated talents. Scholars quickly turned to Zheng Juzhong, and everyone hoped that Zheng Juzhong could govern the country.

Although Zheng Juzhong was once a traitor, although Zheng Juzhong helped Cai Jing regain his prime minister, although Zheng Juzhong had traitors such as Wang Fu under his command.However, in the worst case, Zheng Juzhong is not as bad as Cai Jing!

Ever since, Zheng Juzhong has the taste of a scholarly leader.

The most important thing is that Zheng Juzhong is trying to restore the order of the central government, and wants to get the three provinces of the Song Dynasty back on track—the purpose, of course, is to use this to compete with Cai Jing for power.

In addition, Wang Fu, who was returning home from the funeral, only kept his filial piety for a few months, and was recalled to the court by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

In addition, Wang Fu was specially promoted as a Bachelor of Xuanhe Palace. This honorary position was often held by dismissed prime ministers. Song Huizong was already paving the way for Wang Fu to become prime minister.

Although this arrangement is outrageous, it is a false post after all, and everyone can understand that the emperor will slowly promote him.No one would have imagined that in two or three years, Wang Fu would directly surpass the eighth rank of the Jin Dynasty and become the prime minister, becoming an unprecedented place in the Song and Song Dynasties!
Now it is Zheng Juzhong, Liu Zhengfu, and Wang Fu, and the three of them cooperate to fight against Cai Jing.

Liu Zhengfu is old and timid, and he doesn't want to make trouble anymore. He has resigned many times this year.Moreover, he was indeed ill. Song Huizong tried to persuade Liu Zhengfu to resign to no avail.

However, Tian Ruyong, the general judge of Puzhou, received the order from Zheng Juzhong and immediately started to welcome Zhu Ming to take office.

He waited and waited, only to learn that Zhu Ming was staying in Lei Ze County, and he had arrested a bunch of Sun Qian and his family.

Tian Ruyong was a little worried about this. He was responsible for collecting taxes. What if Lei Ze County's tax collection was insufficient?
Hearing that Zhu Ming was about to arrive in the state capital, Tian Ruyong called all the state and county officials, and followed him three miles out of the city to meet him.

"I'm coming!"

Today's sun is very sunny, Tian Ruyong parked the carriage under a tree to enjoy the shade, and immediately opened the curtain to look at it when he heard the movement.

"hiss!"

When Ju Ming's driving team approached, Tian Ruyong gasped.

I have seen officials take a large number of entourages to take office, but I have never seen hundreds of prisoners take office!
Huang Guinian, the secretary, joined the army, and Jin Tao, the manager, joined the army. Seeing so many prisoners at this moment, they couldn't help but feel a little headache.The former is in charge of the state court, and the latter is in charge of the administrative court, both of which have the power to hear cases.And if the prisoner appeals, they will also cross-review.

There are hundreds of fucking prisoners here, and there are quite a few of them with backgrounds. They don't want to rest this year.If you don't pay attention, there will be problems, and you will definitely alarm the punishment envoy.

Shu Yifu, who joined the judicial army, was also worried. Although he was not in charge of the trial, he had to participate in the whole process.After the trial results are released, he must provide legal basis and recommend how to sentence.Such a large group of prisoners, suggest a ghost?No matter how serious it is, it offends people.

Tian Ruyong straightened his clothes and led the crowd to greet him on the official road.

Zhu Ming got on his horse and got close, got off his horse and saluted.

Tian Ruyong bowed and said, "Puzhou judges Tian Ruyong to welcome Zhu Zhizhou into the city."

Zhu Ming bowed back, warmly took Tian Ruyong's hand and said, "Tian Tongpan is too polite, how could he mobilize people like this? It really makes me ashamed."

Tian Ruyong said with a smile: "Why should you be modest when you know the state? Let me introduce, this is the year of the yellow tortoise who joined the army..."

The year of the turtle made a bow and said, "Nian of the turtle pays homage to Zhizhou!"

"You don't need to be too polite to record things." Zhu Ming couldn't help but look at Huang Yaoshi a few more times.

In addition to several Cao officials who joined the army, there was also an observation officer who somehow knew about Juancheng affairs.

Zhu Ming found that Tian Ruyong, the governor of the state, seemed to hate this observer, and even introduced it later on purpose.

It was not easy to ask in public, so Ju Ming invited Tian Ruyong to ride in the same car, and Tian Ruyong readily agreed.

As the team entered the city slowly, Zhu Ming asked, "What's the origin of this observation officer, Yao Guangshu?"

Tian Ruyong opened the curtain and looked: "Cai Dang, I just came here two days ago."

Zhu Ming sighed: "It seems that I came because of me, Mr. Cai really doesn't want me to have a hard time."

Observing and pushing officials can only be from the eighth grade, which is ranked under Zhizhou and Tongju. It is not a permanent position.Moreover, Yao Guangshu also serves as the magistrate of Juancheng County, and actually controls the power of state governance. No matter what Zhu Ming wants to do, he will be blocked.

Zhu Ming offended Cai Jing terribly, especially Zhu Guoxiang's holy family, which made Cai Jing faintly worried.

It is inconvenient for Cai Jing to mess around in the capital, but he can deploy his party members outside, making it difficult for Ju Ming to use his fists in Puzhou.

Accompanied by a group of officials, Zhu Ming came to the state government office to go through the formalities of performing his duties, and then took his family to live in the backyard of the state government office.

Tian Ruyong also set up a welcome banquet and invited him to dinner at dusk.

As for those prisoners, they were divided into two groups, one group was sent to the prison of the State Court, and the other group was sent to the prison of the Siyuan Court.

Observer Yao Guangshu stopped the prisoner and made no secret of his power-grabbing behavior: "The prisoners surnamed Qian and Sun will all be transferred to the Judiciary, and I will personally try them."

Huang Guinian, who joined the army as a recorder, was very upset, but the observer had this power, so he had nothing to do about it.

After Zhu Ming managed to catch a bunch of them, he was cut off by the Cai Party as soon as he arrived in Zhoucheng.

At the banquet that night, Ju Ming returned home half drunk, and fell asleep holding Zheng Yuanyi.

The next day, Zhu Ming went straight to the yamen of the Sili Yuan and asked, "How is the trial going?"

If it is normal, the trial has not yet started.

Jin Tao, the manager of the army, said: "Yao Jian tried the case overnight yesterday, and has transferred the relevant case to the Judicial Yuan."

Zhu Ming rode to the Judiciary again and asked, "What cases have been transferred?"

Shu Yifu, who joined the judicial army, had a bitter face, and asked for the relevant trial documents: "The prefect, please have a look."

Zhu Ming quickly flipped through a few copies, but all the cases involving Sun and Qian's family said that the evidence was insufficient and asked the Judicial Yuan to acquit.

Shu Yifu said: "Prefect, I dare not sign and use my seal. But whether I sign or use a seal has no effect on these cases."

When the judiciary joins the army, he only has the right to make suggestions on punishment.

The observation that the pusher sent the case over was purely a process.

Zhu Ming said: "Then you suggest that the case be submitted to the state court for review!"

Shu Yifu sighed: "That's the only way."

As a result, the related case was transferred to the state court and handed over to Huang Yaoshi for trial.

Even if Huang Guinian was found guilty, the Si Li Yuan still has the final adjudication power. Si Li joined the army and is a fringe figure in the Cai party, so it is very likely that the Qian and Sun families will be acquitted.

Holding the file, Huang Guinian was extremely angry: "Such a big case involving dozens of lives, Yao Guangshu finished the trial in one night? It's just nonsense!"

Zhu Ming said, "Just wait."

"Drag?" Huang Guinian didn't understand what it meant.

Zhu Ming said: "Even if you sentence them to death, the Judiciary has the right to re-examine them. In the end, they are not released? Even if they are reported to the criminal justice department, the criminals are also the Cai party. So, don't try it too fast, and keep it slow." Take a slow trial and imprison the two families for a year and a half."

Huang Guinian said: "What's the use of locking it up? After all, we still have to let it go."

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "Leize County is equalizing the tax on the farmland. If they are locked up for a year or so, the farmland of their two families should be finished."

Huang Guinian was taken aback, then pursed his lips in amusement.

This magistrate was so frankly hurt that he locked up the speakers of the big family and procrastinated without trial, but took the opportunity to investigate their hidden fields.

After laughing, Huang Guinian was very angry again.

Dozens of human lives and a large number of testimonies and witnesses, but he can only be detained for a long time, and the prisoner will definitely be released without charge in the end.

Is there still a king's law?

Huang Guinian clenched his fists and said: "Where the Sili Yuan dares to let people go, I will go to Shushu for impeachment, and I will force the Criminal Division to retry. If the Criminal Division is still acquitted, I will continue to go to Shushu for impeachment." , take the case to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

Historically, Huang Yaoshi even dared to impeach Qin Hui, and repeatedly impeached him four times, and was determined to be demoted every time.

Such a person, would he be afraid of Cai Jing?
Zhu Ming shook his head and said, "The Qian family is the founder of the country. Although it has been ruined, there are still people who are kind to military officers and guards. Unless the Qian family rebels, no matter how many murders occur, the officials will definitely show mercy outside the law. He has to take care of Xun. Your thoughts. Relatives like the Cao family will also intercede for the Qian family. The world belongs to those people after all."

The more Huang Guinian heard it, the more angry he became, because Zhu Ming was telling the truth.

No matter how dilapidated the founder of the country, that is also the founding of the country, the emperor can't kill the killer, at most he can find a few scapegoats to kill.

Zhu Ming was able to arrest people, drag them into long-term detention, and take the opportunity to investigate their hidden fields, which has reached the limit.Just bring down the Qian family?Don't think about it!

Even those horse bandits knew to take the opportunity to rob the Sun family, but they dared not attack the Qian family for the time being.

Zhu Ming is considering whether to let Qian Jingde commit suicide in fear of crime.

There is no rush, it depends on the situation.

Zhu Ming asked, "I'm afraid the Li family in Juancheng doesn't obey the law very much, does it?"

Huang Guinian said: "For a hundred years, the family style of the Li family was pretty good, but it has become worse in the past ten years, and the good reputation accumulated by the ancestors has been ruined. There are no murders involving the Li family, maybe there are, But they were suppressed, and they couldn't be sent to the state court at all. There are various cases in the state government, as well as in the Juancheng county government. There are former students and former officials of the Li family everywhere. It is more difficult to investigate the Li family than the Qian family! "

Zhu Ming curled his lips, he doesn't follow any rules, because he can be completely reckless.

People who do not bear the consequences are often reckless in their actions.

Just like the Qian family, they don't have to bear any consequences because they are the descendants of the founder of the country.

Then compete with whose fist is harder!
(This is the first time I write a Song Dynasty novel, so many mistakes are unavoidable, and I am learning every day. The county magistrate in the Song Dynasty must be a Beijing official, or even a court official, and the selection can only be a county magistrate. So I made mistakes before, such as Xiang Zhixian, It should be to the county magistrate.)
(Those with the word "zhi" are basically Beijing officials and above. For example, when someone is selected to be a recorder to join the army, this is the official position. If a Beijing official is a recorder to join the army, the word "zhi" must be added in front.)
