Chapter three hundred and ninth
In order to demonstrate the importance of Lijiujian, shortly after the establishment of Lijiujian, the emperor set up a Lijiujian yamen at Jingfengmen on the east side of the imperial city, and listed it from the Political Affairs Hall and directly took responsibility to the emperor. The left and right prisons of Lijiu are all under the fourth rank. Currently, the Right Principal Wang Kefu and the Left Principal Wei Huaichao, and the thirty Lijiuian envoys are composed of the Zhengjiujian Hall, the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple. They are all under the eighth rank or above.
The Liji envoy on duty today is He Zhili. He was originally a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. He knew Chief Wang who came to deliver official documents and said with a smile: "Old Wang, you are a rare guest. The Shangguan from the Ministry of Justice came to a small yamen like Liji. I don't know what advice would you give me."
Commander Wang and He Zhili had a good relationship and replied with a smile: "I am the one who is not the only one who is the one who runs errands. It is no better than your brother who is transferred to the Liquor Prison and is promoted and rich. He is so popular that he drinks spicy food. Since you are here today, your brother will spend money on dinner. We haven't seen each other for a while, so have a good chat."
"Okay, I'll leave the yamen, and I'll stop when I get drunk in the Qingyu Hotel." He Zhili agreed readily, and quickly opened the public document bag, took out the official document and looked at it, and asked in confusion: "This is the matter of your Ministry of Justice, why are you sent to the Liquor Prison?"
Director Wang smiled mysteriously and said, "My Secretary of State has told me that the matter will be reported by Tongniu. Please handle the matter at the discretion of the supervisor."
Those who are in the officialdom have few curved hearts in their stomachs. After thinking for a moment, He Zhili guessed what kind of intentions Wu Shangshu was and smiled and said, "Since it's because of the fate of the emperor, I'll just wait for it. Lao Wang, are you waiting here and I'll go to Qingyu Hotel first."
"Your yamen is very evil and dare not stay too long. I will go to Qingyu Hotel to wait for you first, come quickly." Director Wang got up and left. He Zhili sat down and thought for a while. The case of placing the left and right was divided into the left and right. This kind of case was in charge of Lord Wei of the Left Superintendent, but Mr. Wu's intention was to let Lord Wang know, it was interesting and interesting. I can't afford to mix with a little person like me, so I should do it according to the routine."
After taking the official documents, the lobby was divided into two like the Tongpu in front of the door. On the left is the Heifu Prison for seeking justice, and on the right is the Baifu Prison for accepting advice. In the past year and a half, the Tongpu Prison for the beginning has been earth-shaking, and now it has become silent. Baifu has received many advice, but most of them are boasting, and not many are useful. Heifu received few reports, and it was found that it was mostly false accusations. The main contribution was to rehabilitate several unjust cases. The emperor was obviously very dissatisfied with the performance of Lifu Prison. He had originally reduced his enthusiasm for Lifu Prison, but he was even too lazy to ask about it in recent months.
In the left custody, Wei Huaichao was sitting behind the case in a daze. He was so energetic when he just became the left custody. The officials were frightened when they saw their eyes. The eyes made Wei Huaichao feel as if he had drunk iced sour plum soup in summer. How could it be so sour?
At first, he carefully prepared several reported cases and wanted to bring down a prison, but he was opposed by all officials in the court. The emperor seemed to be not interested in the content of the case, which made his passionate thoughts feel like he was poured with cold water and gradually became discouraged.
The Literary Prison gradually became useless. Every day, Duan Cizong went to Chuzhou to serve as the governor. Wei Huaichao was immersed in his mind. If he could also go to Shangzhou to serve as the governor, just like Duan Cizong, and return to Kyoto in a few years, the chiefs of the six ministries and nine ministers were all older and he was destined to have a position.
But he couldn't compare to Duan Cizong. Duan Cizong met the emperor decades ago, and after nearly twenty years of observation, the emperor trusted him endlessly. Wei Huaichao stroked his brow with his fingers in distress, how could he attract the attention of the emperor and seek change?
He went to the Ze Dang very few parties. As a supervisor of the Literature, he was afraid that the emperor would not be afraid of him for his own party. Now the leader of the Beijing official is undoubtedly allowed to be taken by Deng Huaisu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Deng Huaisu managed the Ze Dang well and gained the upper hand in the battle with the Zhenbang several times. Although the Zhenbang had the big name Pan Linfeng, the Minister of Personnel, it was difficult to overwhelm the Ze Dang.
Wei Huaichao regretted that he had known that he should not have given up his position as the leader of the party. Although it was just a false reputation in the scholars, with this false reputation and some necessary advocacy, he might have a greater chance of having a job outside.
He Zhili walked in, bowed and handed over the official document in his hand, and reported: "Mr. Wei, Minister Wu of the Ministry of Justice transferred a official document, saying that this matter was caused by Tongtu. Please submit it to the supervisor of the tutu at the appropriate time."
There were several such examples when Liqun Jian was first established, all of which were cases reported by local authorities. At that time, Liqun Jian was strong and forced to take the case from the "Three Laws" on the grounds that the case was reported by Tongli, and then the case was directly sent to the Tongli Division (Sima Mansion) in various places to implement it, which was very strong. As a result, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Censorate were offended. Later, Liqun Jian gradually did nothing. When the "Three Laws" received similar cases, they did not say hello to Liqun Jian at all. At most, people reported to Liqun Jian afterwards, how could the Ministry of Justice transfer the official documents today?
Wei Huaichao opened the official document with doubts and read it from beginning to end. He suddenly realized that the matter was particularly difficult, so he put it down and calculated it in his mind. Jiang Anyi said that he was his junior brother of the same school and a member of the Ze Party. Naturally, the same party members should respond in the same voice and seek each other. There are many doubts about the crimes listed in the official document, so he should help him according to his principles.
Jiang Anyi's handsome and upright expression appeared in front of him, and a sour feeling appeared in Wei Huaichao's heart. In another ten years, Jiang Anyi will definitely surpass himself and become the leader of the Party. With such a person, how can I appear to be Wei Huaichao? Besides, when it comes to helping Jiang Anyi, some people will definitely say that they use power for personal gain, and even if they have a clear innocence, they will be said to be unfair. This is something that must be paid attention to.
His fingers gently flicked on the official document. Wei Huachao thought about Wu Huaren's intention. He had a bad relationship with Wu Huaren. Did he intend to ask him a problem and find a mistake? Wei Huaichao looked at his dark official uniform. It was difficult for the officialdom to rise and fall, and he could not lose his future because of anyone.
Suddenly, Wei Huaichao thought of another possibility. His eyes looked right and seemed to penetrate the walls. He saw Wang Kefu in the right prison. Wang Kefu and Jiang Anyi were mortal enemies. Everyone knows it in the capital. Wang Zhizhi's joke of "500 taels of silver" is still circulating on the playboy's wine tables. Will Wu Huaren want to kill someone with a knife?
The idea became clear, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Wei Huachao's mouth. Wu Huaren could kill people with a knife, and I, Wei Huaichao, could also go with the flow. I thought of getting the official documents and stood up, went out and turned right, and entered the right jail prison.
During the days when Wang Kefu leaned on his seat to read and thanked the guests behind closed doors, Wang Kefu developed the habit of reading. Of course, what he read was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the popular legendary story books among the neighbors. It is beneficial to open the book. Wang Kefu really figured out some tricks from those stories.
After the period when he was demoted, Wang Kefu's arrogance became introverted. Everyone in the yamen smiled and spoke in a harmonious manner. He went to brothel streets less and his friends less. Even after receiving the information provided by the secret guard, Shi Fangzhen thought that Wang Kefu was finally a prodigal son who turned around.
Hearing the footsteps, Wang Kefu stood up and put the book in his hand into the drawer, stood up and smiled, "Mr. Wei, why do you have time to come to me today? Please sit down."
After saying that, he turned out from the case and sat down with Wei Huaichao on the seat next to him. Wei Huaichao had heard people say things like Wang Kefu's prodigal son turned back, but Wei Huaichao did not believe it at all. Once he came to the right prison and accidentally saw Wang Kefu's novel in the official document. He had read this book in the study at night. People who dared to read the erotic lyrics and erotic essays in the lobby would even turn back.
After a few words, Wei Huaichao was very awe of the forces behind Wang Kefu. Although the two of them were respected by the left, it did not prevent him from flattering Wang Kefu. Wang Kefu had a smile on his face, hum haha, waiting for Wei Huaichao to understand his purpose.
After filling the tea again, Wei Huaichao took out the official document from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Kefu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you are knowledgeable and have a document here. Wei doesn't know what to do with it, so I'll ask Lord Wang for advice."
Wang Kefu is not ignorant. The Wang family is a noble family. If he had no ability, he would not have recommended him to serve as an official. After so many years of lingering in the officialdom, Wang Kefu has been used to the storm and knows that he is right and wrong, but even if he is right and wrong, Wei Huaichao cannot really come to ask him for advice. There must be something strange about this official document.
Seeing the three words Jiang Anyi on the official document, the flesh on Wang Kefu's cheeks trembled involuntarily. He tried his best to keep calm, but his expression betrayed his hatred. Wei Huaichao, who was betrayed his hatred by taking advantage of the gap in drinking water, saw Wang Kefu's excitement at a glance, slowly put down the teacup, and waited for Wang Kefu to speak.
Wang Kefu read the official documents carefully, then read them again, and then asked: "Mr. Wei, isn't it the responsibility of the criminal officials to deal with the criminal officials? Why did this official document be sent to our License?"
"The Secretary of Justice of the Ministry of Justice said that this matter was caused by the Tongtu report, so let us handle it at the discretion of the supervisor." Wei Huaichao smiled faintly, "The supervisor of the supervisor is left and right, Wei cannot make the decision alone, so I will ask Mr. Wang what you mean."
Wang Kefu sneered, "Mr. Wei, no secret words are spoken. You and Shangshu Wu put this document here to me because they thought that I had a personal grudge with Jiang Anyi and asked me to do something that is inconvenient for you. If something happens, you will shrink back. My old king is in trouble. I am beaten for you, right? I am a good plan, but Mr. Wang is not a fool. I hate Jiang Anyi. Of course I don't want to let go of this opportunity. But you can't help watching the fire from the other side of the river. To cure Jiang Anyi's crime, everyone has to work together. If something happens, everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, and no one can escape."
Wei Huaichao was so choked by Wang Kefu's words that he coughed repeatedly, and raised the teacup to drink water in concealment. Wang Kefu stared into his eyes and said, "Mr. Wei, aren't you always thinking about making great contributions? Jiang Anyi is a 'twist' in the officialdom. Most people hate him. If you talk about him, no one will object."
After Wang Kefu finished speaking, he stopped talking and focused on savoring the tea. Wei Huaichao weighed the gains and losses in his heart, and Wang Kefu sneered in his heart. A person like Wei Huaichao only has his own fame and fortune, and everything else can be sold. If he can show off in front of the emperor, let alone Jiang Anyi, even his parents can be sold.
Wei Huaichao didn't know that he had been seen through, so he pondered for a long time and said, "Mr. Wang, what you said is a major matter. It is not something I can do with the surveillance family. We must work with the "Three Laws" to handle this case into an ironclad case."
