Ying Nan tried every means to come up with reasons not to go to the morning court, but Xie Ji rejected all these excuses.

Ying Nan even broke away from Xie Ji and ran away, but it didn't help. There were a lot of people behind him and he was stopped.

So I could only follow Xie Ji obediently to go to court.

Stepping into the palace door, the guards guarding the door were surprised that there were actually several pig heads among these people.

What happened to these people?

Something big happened recently.

Seeing Xie Ji pulling a pig head hard, they didn't recognize him at first.

However, Xie Ji kept calling the waiters one after another. They were really stupid not to know that it was Ying Nan.

Ying Nan thought to herself, just say what you Xie Ji says, just for the sake of being a waiter, for fear that others will not know that I am Ying Nan.

For this reason, you can only keep your head down, as low as possible, and it is best not to be seen.

Xuantai Hall, this time, a bunch of people who were noisy outside came in.

The officials inside sighed, why were so many people here this time?

"Wow, pig head." Shen Yi couldn't help but screamed when he saw Ying Nan.

The people around him couldn't help but snicker when they heard this sentence, and couldn't help but glance in Ying Nan's direction a few more times.

Then he lowered his head and kept laughing.

"Sorry, I made a mistake. It turned out to be the waiter." Shen Yi smiled without admitting his mistake, and then saw Xie Ji.

"I've met the Prime Minister."

Xie Ji nodded, and Ying Nan snorted coldly, but because of his appearance, this look was really funny.

"The public security in this capital city is so bad. I don't know who is in charge of it, but it allows thieves to run rampant in Chang'an. Even the imperial officials dare to beat up."

Xie Ji took advantage of the situation and pointed the matter at the Taiwei who was in charge of public security in the capital.

Taiwei: Even though I am a human being, I am lying here with a gun. Isn’t this thief one of yours, Xie Ji?

"The thieves are running rampant and should seek orders from Chang'an." The Taiwei immediately got rid of his responsibilities. The security of Chang'an City was not under his control. He was only in charge of Chang'an's military resources.

"Public security in Chang'an is not under the jurisdiction of the subordinates. I only handle some litigation cases. As for the disputes between officials, it is still the matter of the Ministry of Justice." Chang'an Ling immediately replied that this is not his matter in the first place. If there is any dispute between these people, He can't handle it either.

Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the Criminal Department to handle it? After all, they are in charge of the world's prison cases. He can only mediate. If he dares to intervene more than life and death, he will die.

"The Punishment Department only deals with major cases in the world. As for public security, the Punishment Department can't help. Thieves, that is not the scope of our Punishment Department." The consultant would kick the ball to him when he saw it. It was simply shameful.

It's none of their business if something like this happens, so don't blame them.

"Then who is responsible for it? Just watch the thieves running rampant. These are the people we are beating this time. Next time, are we going to beat you and me again?" Xie Ji continued to stir up trouble. As for the security of Chang'an, this security , it is indeed a bit bad.

For example, if these officials don't like each other on the street, they might get into a fight, and then, under the advice of other officials, they would give each other 50 bucks. That would be fine. It saves the face of both parties and each takes a step back. .

However, poor public security does not mean that there are many thieves. On the contrary, there are very few thieves.

Therefore, this security issue is indeed a small issue and not many people care about it.

Everyone: Xie Ji, you have the nerve to say, weren’t you the one who sent the thieves?

Don't you just want to make use of the topic?

"The public security in Chang'an is logically under the control of the Chang'an Order, but there are so many officials in Chang'an. If we want to deal with disputes between officials, it is better to set up an additional official position and fill it with a person of high moral character and prestige to handle these disputes."

Wang Cen said at this time that these disputes were a bit difficult to handle. The Chang'an Order did not dare to deal with them, and they were not qualified. If they were passed to the Ministry of Punishment, there would be another dispute. This fight went back and forth, but in the end there was still no result. The only choice was,

The trouble came to the court.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

As soon as the emperor came in, everyone saluted and said hello according to the rules. As soon as the emperor saw that something was wrong in the atmosphere below, he asked the people next to him, and the little eunuch told the emperor exactly what happened just now.

"In this case, who is the most suitable person to fill that position?" Although the emperor wanted to laugh when he saw some of his officials beaten to the point of being beaten like a pig's head, he had to endure it in order to maintain his identity.

But these people are really miserable. Xie Ji can just give them a beating. What's the point of beating them in the face?

This image was indeed ruined by these people in an instant.

However, the disputes between these officials should be carefully managed. These officials are attacking each other all day long in the court. If they don't fight for one day, they will be idle. If they don't fight for two days, they can go to heaven. If they don't fight for three days, they can tear down Chang'an.

"Your Majesty, this person must be a highly respected person. He must not only be able to convince everyone, but also be able to control everyone."

Wang Cen said to the emperor that Xie Ji would definitely not be able to do this. After all, Xie Ji was unpopular and this matter could not fall on him.

Xie Ji raised his head and saw Wang Cen, so he said: "I think Mr. Cui is suitable."

After Cui Zheng heard Xie Ji's words, he almost vomited out his morning meal. Xie Ji was not being kind.

This position is a thankless one. You have to be a peacemaker and be able to deal with things fairly.

However, when I think about it, this position is great and suitable for him.

"What do you think, Mr. Cui?" The emperor thought it was good. This man was criticized by everyone. In this case, there is no such thing as fair or unfair.

However, the emperor had other ideas. According to Cui Zheng's psychology, it would be difficult for these officials in the future.

"I accept my order." Cui Zheng took over the position.

"From now on, if officials have any disputes or disputes, they will all be handled by Cui Taibao. They are not allowed to fight or fight in private. If found, they will be severely punished."

The emperor decided the final outcome. If these officials didn't like it, they would fight together. They would fight because of an opinion. If the court hadn't allowed fighting, I would have watched it turn into a vegetable market after a while.

You are not allowed to fight privately? Doesn’t that mean you can fight as long as you are not fighting privately?

Many officials are thinking about how to find the flaw in this sentence. There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. They are fighting for official reasons. Yes, that's it.

Finding flaws and gaps in words is what they are good at.

They often don't like to find trouble for themselves, but they like to delve into the loopholes in the other party's words, look for flaws, and then target them to achieve their desired goals.

The emperor said that we should not fight over private matters, but he did not say that we should not fight over official matters.

Thinking like this completely misunderstood the emperor's original intention.

"Prime Minister, how was the discussion yesterday?"

The emperor asked Xie Ji, does this sentence mean how the discussion about the law was yesterday?

"Your Majesty, I believe that officials who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people. And we have made changes to the crime of corruption to keep pace with the times."

After Xie Ji said this, he didn't look at the pig heads at all.

Those pig heads, they didn't agree. This is all your idea, Xie Ji's alone.

"You all think so?" The emperor was a little curious as to how these people agreed. However, it seems that those people have been beaten. Would they agree after being beaten?

"Your Majesty, they were all threatened by the Prime Minister. If they didn't agree, they would be beaten like this by the Prime Minister. How could they disagree? What's more, if the scholar-bureaucrats and the common people are lumped together without distinguishing between superior and inferior, wouldn't it be a disorder?

The world is unstable."

Someone said quite seriously.

"Did you witness me beating them up with your own eyes? Or did you wantonly frame them and frame them?"

"The heaven and the earth are unkind, and regard all things as stupid dogs; the saints are unkind, and regard the common people as stupid dogs. Your Majesty patrols the sky and treats all people as equals. How can there be any distinction between high and low?"

Xie Ji originally wanted to say that everyone is equal, but after thinking about it again and again, he closed his mouth. However, what he wanted to express was not to create equality for everyone, but to strive for relatively equal rights.

In this era, naturally we cannot talk about restricting the rights of the monarch, otherwise we will be hacked to death. However, except for the monarch, everyone is relatively equal in personality, so we should try our best to complete it.

He understands that it is not political and economic progress that can promote the progress of the entire society.

The most important thing is the progress of ideas. People here will be relatively conservative in their thinking and will not want to accept new ideas and will act according to the old methods and old systems.

If you encounter any problems, read the classics to see how the ancients did it, and then do the same yourself.

They believe that the methods provided by the ancients can solve all existing troubles, and they are willing to do things according to the old methods. It is not because the new methods are not good, but because they do not want to cause trouble. Just follow the existing methods.

Why go to all the trouble of finding a new path?

Now, this system of distinction between superior and inferior is also like this. Everyone can abide by it. This is what the ancients did, and it obviously had a great influence on them. Why the ancients did this, they never investigated, they only need one

As a result, this result is sanctified and regarded as a matter of course, so there is no doubt about this matter.

The emperor must be very interested in him. After all, for him, to become a saint and to be a being respected by thousands of people, he must win the hearts of millions of people.

And this incident will indeed increase his reputation among the people.

Moreover, there is no actual loss to him, after all, it is not him who does not have privileges.

"The Prime Minister is right, everyone in the world is my people, how can there be any distinction between high and low?"

After Xie Ji finished speaking, the emperor immediately said, yes, that's it. Whoever is not my subject in the world, I have the same kindness towards everyone in the world.

When everyone heard it, it was over...
