Chapter 631 The Bottom Line
"There are seventeen officials in Dali Temple who came from our academy? Why don't I know?" Yue Shan was stunned when he heard the news. Dali Temple only has a few high-ranking officials in total, and the academy only occupies seventeen. At least... when did the academy become so powerful.

"Hehe..." Wang Ji said with a proud face: "Dali Temple is nothing, more than half of the people in the criminal justice system are from the academy."

"How is it possible? The academy has only been established for a few years, so it is impossible to train so many students." Yue Shan said in disbelief.

"This is also due to the punishment system you created." Wang Ji said with a smile: "Judicial power is completely independent. Judges must be proficient in the law, but there are so many people who understand the law in the world."

"Our academy law school has set up a short-term training course, which takes half a year as a period, to train judicial officers."

"What can I learn in half a year? Don't mistake your children for harming the country and the people." Yue Shan frowned.

"Don't worry, we have invited the most famous jurists to select common folk cases as examples and compile them into teaching materials. The students in the short-term class mainly study these cases, and when they take office, they can judge most of the cases based on them." Wang Ji Seriously said:
"You can ask the academy for help when you encounter complicated and difficult cases. We will organize experts to discuss and give the most appropriate judgment."

Yue Shan heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't have to mess around.

"How did you send these students to the prison system?"

"You forgot, Sun Fujia, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is the vice president of the law school. In the beginning, we didn't send students to the criminal punishment department, but the criminal punishment department sent officials to the academy for training."

"There are people in the DPRK who are good at being officials. So many judicial officials have participated in training in the academy. It will be very easy for us to send law school students to the Criminal Prosecution Division."

Yue Shan understood, this is called a faction.

Confucianism has been respected for hundreds of years. Although Legalism still exists, there are not many real legalists.Yue Shan founded the Criminal Division to split the judicial power, but there are not so many specialized judicial officers available.

This is a loophole.

Under normal circumstances, some Confucian scholars who understand the law will temporarily act as judicial officers, and the imperial court is slowly cultivating specialized judicial personnel.

This process may last for 20 years before the judicial system can be truly perfected.

Weishui Academy took advantage of this loophole.

The reason is simple. When Weishui Academy was founded, Yueshan first opened up the division system, established Confucianism Academy, Dao Academy, Law Academy and other majors, and gathered a large number of heirs from various schools.

After the establishment of the Criminal Division, the imperial court urgently needed a special institution to train judicial officials.However, looking at the whole country, only the law school of Weishui Academy has this condition.

The Legalists and the Weishui Academy seized the opportunity to obtain the right to train judicial officers, which led to today's situation.

"You are the dean of the academy. Strictly speaking, these magistrates are your students. Although they may not necessarily agree with you, they still have a kindred spirit in them. You are no longer alone in the court." Wang Ji smiled. Said: "Don't thank me, this is what a friend should do."

Yue Shan glared at him angrily, thank you?Not scolding you is already giving you face, and thank you.

Needless to say, he also knew that Wang Ji and others must have played his banner by being able to obtain the right to train judicial officers so smoothly.

Otherwise, do you think the imperial court is a fool, and let the college pick up such a cheap freshman for nothing?

Such a big matter didn't discuss with me in advance, and did you still regard me as the dean?

Yue Shan was only depressed in his heart, but Wang Ji and the others couldn't be blamed.

He is becoming more and more unreal as the dean. He used to go to the academy from time to time, but later he was busy with work for half a month and didn't necessarily go there once.

The real manager of the academy is Wang Ji, the principal. He did this for the good of the academy, and Yue Shan has no right to blame him.

Besides, he is also one of the biggest beneficiaries of this matter, and he has no position to blame others.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly, and said, "What's the matter with the impeachment of the king this time? I'm afraid that others don't know that there is an academic school in the imperial court?"

"I didn't expect these students to be so radical." Wang Ji smiled wryly, "You know the judicial situation in the court before. The rule of man is far greater than the rule of law, and the meaning of the superiors is more useful than the law."

Yue Shan nodded, it has been like this for hundreds of years, everyone is used to it.

"But what the Academy teaches the students is that the law must remain independent and fair. Especially the sixteen-character policy you gave them is regarded as the most basic ethics and iron law of the school of law."

The sixteen-character policy is: there are laws to abide by, laws must be followed, violations must be investigated, and law enforcement must be strictly enforced.It is said that it has been followed by legalists as a standard.

"Students with this kind of thinking are naturally out of place when they enter the officialdom. It's good that the local criminals are appointed. They can judge cases by themselves, and it doesn't seem abrupt."

"But Dali Temple is different. There are too many mother-in-laws on it, and their every move seems to be different, so conflicts abound."

"Some time ago, the Ministry of Officials' examination of meritorious service ordered Chi Dengsong's son to privately buy a good family as a slave and was reported. Wang Zhen suppressed this matter."

"If the Chi family returned the good family back, the matter would be over, but Chi Dengsong's son couldn't swallow this breath, and secretly sent someone to take the good family away. In the end, the good family was thrown into the well and died. This completely angered Those officials from the Academy."

"Under the leadership of Rao Gaosu, the prime minister of the temple, seventeen officials jointly impeached and impeached Wang Zhen for taking bribes and perverting the law to release prisoners privately, and also accused Chi Dengsong's teacher of not being strict with human life."

Hearing this, Yue Shan's expression became severe.

"How did the court handle this matter?"

"Without any action, I also reprimanded Rao Gaosu and others to devote themselves to their work and not to cause trouble."

This is not dealt with, it is equivalent to closing the case.

Yue Shan was not surprised by the result of this treatment.

In ancient times, only nobles and dignitaries were considered human beings, while ordinary people were animals with two legs.What happened to the rich and powerful buying slaves privately?I even killed slaves in private.

The law stipulates that privately buying people is a crime, but the law is made for ordinary people, so it has nothing to do with me.

As I said before, who are the people abducted by human traffickers sold to?Most of them entered the doors of the rich and powerful.So when encountering this kind of thing, the most is to order the powerful to return the person and close the case.

Wang Zhen's suppression of this matter is completely in line with the official rules of this era.

As for the fact that the Chi family snatched him back later, it wasn't a big deal for the good family who killed himself by throwing himself into a well.Isn't it just to die a grassroots person? It's nothing.

No one is willing to offend the merit examination order of the Ministry of Officials because of this - this is the real power faction, who has the power to examine the officials of the world.

Even Li Shimin didn't think it was a big deal. The merit test order was his most trusted minister, and he wouldn't blame his most important minister for a grassroots man.

Rao Gaosu's 17 people jointly impeached Wang Zhen and Chi Dengsong, probably in his opinion, he was just looking for trouble.If it weren't for the need to take a little face into account, Rao Gaosu and the others might have been kicked out of the court directly.

But for Rao Gaosu and others, this way of handling is no different from being directly sent to the frontier.

Impeach Shangguan, and they don't have to hang out in Dali Temple in the future.Wang Zhen can find any reason to get them to work in the most remote and worst places.

Thinking of this, Yue Shan's lungs are about to explode. Others can waste their lives, but he can't.

From later generations, he hated human traffickers.

In his previous life, the law only punished the traffickers, not the buyers. He once petitioned on the Internet that all traffickers should be shot, and buyers should also be imprisoned.

Later, the buyer was indeed sentenced to prison, but unfortunately the petition for the death penalty of the traffickers has not been successful.

After crossing, he felt that he had already made a compromise. He only wanted to catch the traffickers, and it was enough for the buyers to honestly hand over the people.

But now the Chi family has actually forced him to death, which has touched his bottom line.

"Inform Rao Gaosu that I will attend tomorrow's court meeting."

……

The next day happened to be the fifth day of March, the China-North Korea meeting, and high-ranking officials from both Beijing and China were expected to attend.Before dawn, the entrance of Yong'an Palace (Daming Palace) was full of people, roughly estimated to be as many as 500 to [-] people.

Even with so many people, Yue Shan's arrival still attracted everyone's attention.As long as they can climb up the relationship, they all come to say hello.

But some people showed a puzzled look, such as the prime ministers, such as the officials of the Ministry of Officials, the reason is very simple, Yueshan did not cancel the fake.

In ancient times, there were also fixed procedures for asking for leave.

Short-term holidays can only be approved by the chief official, and long-term holidays must be reported to the Ministry of Officials, such as Ding You and the like.

Marriage leave of more than one month like Yueshan's would naturally have to be reported to the Ministry of Officials.

You need to report when you ask for leave, and you have to cancel your leave before you come to work after the holiday. If you don’t cancel your leave, you can’t exercise your rights.

It's not in accordance with the procedure for Yue Shan to come to court without canceling his vacation. Although he has a special status and no one dares to say anything, he will inevitably mutter in his heart.

And some smart people already have a premonition that something big will happen today.

When Rao Gaosu and other 17 people came forward to chat with Yue Shan, no matter how dull they were, they knew what was going on.

The smile on Wang Zhen's face froze when he was about to go up to say hello to Yue Shan, and Chi Dengsong was no exception.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Yang Shidao and others also fell into thinking.

What is Yue Shan's intention in this move?

They didn't think that Yue Shan would really be tough on Wang Zhenhe...Gao Shilian for a 'grassman'.

It is very strange why Gao Shilian is involved?

It's very simple, Gao Shilian is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Chi Dengsong is his man.Beating a dog also depends on the owner. To move Chi Dengsong is to provoke him.

So what is Yue Shan's real intention?
Entered the Dali Temple.

The answer instantly appeared in their minds.

Yue Shan was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to be transferred to the stage, and Dali Temple was his goal.

As for why he chose to attack Dali Temple and Wang Zhen.

There is no other big boss behind Wang Zhen to support him. He can become the support of the royal family of Shandong nobles that Dali Temple relies on. It is well known that the emperor has been attacking and weakening the power of Shandong nobles in recent years.

Emperor Wang Zhen would be happy to get rid of Wang Zhen, and he would not provoke other dignitaries.

Moreover, both the Criminal Division and the Six Gates are under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple. Yue Shan himself is the supervisor of the Six Gates, and more than half of the judicial officers in the Criminal Division have backgrounds in Weishui Academy.

It is the most cost-effective for him to hold Dali Temple in his hands.

The impeachment of Wang Zhen by Rao Gaosu and others is the first step, so that all the problems can be explained.

Everyone who thought they had figured everything out immediately felt relieved. If Yue Shan wanted Dali Temple, he would give it to him. Anyway, it is not my sphere of influence.

It is everyone's consensus that Yue Shan will stand in front of the stage sooner or later, it depends on what aspect he is interested in in the future.Instead of waiting for him to divide his power, it is better to let him control Dali Temple, and everyone is happy.

But some people felt more and more heavy, one was Changsun Wuji, and the other was Gao Shilian.

What is the real reason for the impeachment of the king?Chi Dengsong's son bought slaves privately and forced Liang's family to death. If he wants to deal with Wang Zhen, he must first convict Chi Dengsong's son.

Chi Dengsong belongs to Gao Shilian, can he let him go?If he doesn't care who else wants to hang out with him in the future?

Thinking of this, Gao Shilian is also full of anger towards Yue Shan. We are all foreign relatives. If you want Dali Temple, just tell me and I will definitely help.

But now you take my confidant to the knife without saying hello to me, do you take my uncle and grandpa seriously?
That being the case, don't blame me for not being sympathetic.

Gao Shilian is ready to face the battle.

Changsun Wuji's worry is that they all belong to foreign relatives, and engaging in internal strife will only benefit outsiders.

He is also angry with Yue Shan, why can't you discuss it?What do you mean by doing this?
Only Yue Shan, Rao Gaosu and the others thought it was a simple case and discussed how to impeach Wang Zhen and Chi Dengsong later.

However, the result of the matter gave them a blow to the head.

Above the court, when Yue Shan stood up to impeach Wang Zhen and Chi Dengsong, Zhou Chi, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and said that you have not yet asked the Ministry of Officials to cancel your leave and you are not eligible to participate in the court proceedings.

What Yue Shan didn't expect was that Li Shimin actually agreed with his statement and let him go home for honeymoon.

Yue Shan was angry at first, but soon calmed down.

Instead of trying to argue, he walked up to Chi Dengsong, looked at him and said, "Everyone has a bottom line in their hearts. I always say that you can be greedy and domineering, but please give the bottom people the chance to live." Chance."

"Now you have touched my bottom line. From today on, there will be you without me, and there will be me without you."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Chi Dengsong, who was ashen-faced, and came to Zhou Chi, the minister of officials, and said sternly: "I don't know why you want to protect Chi Dengsong, but you angered me."

"I'll let people check your old background bit by bit. I hope you are a clean and honest person who has never done anything illegal."

After speaking, he turned his head and left the Xuanzheng Hall, leaving behind the dumbfounded officials.

Leaving the Xuanzheng Hall and being blown by the cold wind outside, Yue Shan woke up.Thinking of his behavior just now, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and shook his head.

So childish.

But he doesn't regret it. He allows officials to embezzle money and enjoy privileges, but please give the poor a way out.This is his bottom line, and it is also his pursuit and goal, which has always been the case.

He won't compromise with anyone.

Looking back at the Xuanzheng Hall, he turned his head and prepared to leave the palace.

But just halfway there, I saw Ren Feng running over out of breath: "Yue Hou stay a little longer, your empress is here to invite you."
