Chapter 162
When Dai Quan entered the side hall of Daming Palace to report, he was startled by the scene in front of him, his eyes widened.
What did he see?
His Majesty is eating at the same table with Jia Heng, it's just...unbelievable.
"This kid's holy family, it's terrible, it's red and purple..." Dai Quan suppressed the turmoil in his heart, stepped into the palace lightly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Governor Xu is waiting outside the palace to hear the announcement." .”
Emperor Chongping put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the mouthwash, towels and other things from the small inner eunuch, and wiped his hands.
At this moment, Jia Heng also hurriedly stood up and stood with his hands down.
"Xuan Xu Deqing, come in." Emperor Chongping put down the towel, restored his majestic and cold expression, and said in a deep voice.
Not long after, Jing Zhao Yin Xu Lu, who was wearing a crimson official uniform, entered the hall. This Jing Zhao Fu Yin, with a thin figure and a solemn face, bowed to Emperor Chongping, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Jia, who was standing beside Fei Yu. Heng.
Just now, he had heard on the way that this Jia Ziyu beat the Dengwen Drum, causing all officials to be imprisoned, and he was also entrusted with the task of investigating the case of Fan Yi being beaten and maimed.
When Emperor Chongping saw Xu Lu, he asked without hesitation, "Does Xu Qing know what happened?"
Xu Lu said in a loud voice: "When I was on the road, I heard Eunuch Dai narrate what happened. I am Jing Zhaoyin, and I sit back and watch the law and order in Dongcheng deteriorate. It is my duty to ask the Holy One to punish me."
"How long has Xu Qing served as Jingzhao? The troubles in the East City, as Han Ge said, are chronic diseases that will not last for a day, and are not the responsibility of Xu Qing alone." Emperor Chongping waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." Xu Lu bowed and said loudly.
This Xu Deqing is Fang Zhi, compared to Jia Heng's grateful expression just now, he is more self-confident now.
The bright light in Jia Heng's eyes flowed, thinking, "No wonder the emperor will make great use of this person."
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, and said: "The governance of the banditry in the east city requires the joint efforts of the government departments. Just now, I ordered Jia Heng to mention the affairs of the five cities' military and horse departments. He just said that the duties of the department offices should be changed. I was thinking about it. The two of you are old acquaintances, you should work together and discuss with each other, and define the responsibilities of Jingzhao Yamen and Wucheng Bingmasi, and think that you will follow them later."
Xu Lu was startled when he heard the words, looked at Jia Heng in surprise, and asked: "Jia Ziyu, the power and responsibilities of the governor are not clear, and there have been frequent disputes over this matter, what is Jia Ziyu's opinion?"
Xu Lu will be promoted to Zuodu Censor in the next year, and there are still a few months before retiring from the post of Jing Zhao Yin. Although the emperor hinted, this Xu Fu Yin obviously does not want to waste the rest of the day.
The so-called people leave their names, and the geese leave their voices. One term of office will benefit one party.
All aspiring officials do not want to leave a valuable political legacy for their successors to admire.
Jia Heng said: "My lord Xu, Wansheng thinks that the reason for the dispute between the Jingzhao government office and the Wucheng soldiers and horses is that some functions overlap. However, the Jingzhao Yamen's soldiers are short of manpower, and they have to preside over the civil affairs and prison litigation matters of the counties under the Jingzhao Yamen's jurisdiction. The manpower cannot be deployed in time. If this is not the case, the right to arrest the bandits in the capital will be vested in the soldiers of the five cities. The Department of Public Security under the Wucheng Bingma Division is permanently stationed in Jingzhao. The two parties work together to communicate with each other. , the newly-established Patrol Superintendent will dispatch them to the patrol stations in each Lifang for investigation and interrogation."
The Public Security Department is the joint command department, which is managed by Tongzhi Tongzhi of Wucheng Bingmasi, while the Police Patrol Department is a specific operational department, stationed in various places, helping to arrest people, arraign them, and then send them to Jingzhao Yamen for final conviction.
It has to be said here that the criminal procedure in this era is still in the inquisitorial structure, and the governor actually has to settle the case in the yamen, and the third class of yamen servants in the government office also acts as a criminal police officer.
If the responsibilities are not clear, it will only lead to prevarication and bickering. Either they all fight to take care of it, or they don't care.
"Master Jia's intention is to rebuild the Five Cities Army Division?" Xu Lu frowned, and said in a deep voice, "These soldiers don't know the names of punishments. I'm afraid there will be frequent incidents of unjust imprisonment."
To put it bluntly, I was worried that the patrol superintendent was not professional enough.
"It's just the first trial. Active criminals can be arrested on the spot. For non-active criminals, the judges of the Jingzhao Yamen will eventually be judged and convicted. As for the soldiers who do not understand the law, they can be taught. Let the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion conduct regular rotation training. It is considered to reduce the official burden of Jingzhao Yamen." Jia Heng pondered and explained.
It's the same in any era, the public security despises the bottom of the chain, basically... these law-blind people.
"That can be tried temporarily." In front of the emperor, Xu Lu still gave Jia Heng some face, but he was not very optimistic about it.
Jia Heng said: "My lord Xu, I was thinking, whether we can call everyone who is good at criminal law and law to formulate a "Public Security Regulations" under the Han law, thinking that we will try out the detailed rules of public security, such as fines for violations of the police. Corvation, the punishment of paying money, is like a punishment for cleaning the streets and ditches, a fine..."
Chen Hanlu, imitating the Ming Dynasty Law, is headed by "Ming Li", and the rest is divided into six parts, with a total of [-] volumes and [-] articles.
As for the administrative regulations, they are the Dahan Huidian.
"In this era, there is no concept of ruling the country by law. People make things happen, the law is not clear, and the legal net is not complete, let alone good laws and good governance?" Jia Heng thought.
When Xu Lu heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he said, "You can try it. If the canon is established, it can be promoted throughout the country and supplemented into the Dahan Huidian."
Then the two discussed again, how the two parties should connect with each other and work together.
"The most urgent thing now is the trouble of Dongcheng. You two go down to discuss and deal with it. I won't rush you, but before the end of the year, Dongcheng should have a new look!" Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice with a pale face.
"I will obey the order." Jia Heng and Xu Lu said together, clasping their hands together.
At this moment, Dai Quan said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet's decree has been drawn up. One principal and two deputies, all six divisions have been signed in the matter. Will the servant send someone to proclaim the decree?"
The so-called decree is that Xu, Yu, and Jia will be the presiding judges, together with the trial of Fan Yi's case, as well as the decree with the Wucheng Bingmasi. Because the matter of beating up the country to take the exam is too appalling, the decree To order a strict investigation is even more important.
Because it was for three people, there are three copies.
"Let the two lovers take it back, please use it when handling the case." Emperor Chongping said after a moment of thought.
Both Jia Heng and Xu Lu agreed, followed the imperial decree and left Daming Palace.
After the two left, Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, his face turned gloomy, and said: "Let someone call Qu Lang, a hundred household in brocade clothes, into the palace to have an audience."
Obviously still thinking about what Jia Heng said just now.
In the Jinyi Mansion, there are people who secretly communicated with the song...
These words hovered in Emperor Chongping's mind, like a lingering shadow.
……
……
Jia Heng and Xu Lu were escorted out of the palace gate by the inner eunuch. Jia Heng was the first to break the silence and said, "Master Xu, wait until later, and Wansheng will come to visit the mansion."
Xu Lu waved his hand, and said calmly: "Master Jia is now a military honor of the country. If there is an official business, just go to the government office and talk about it. If there is a private matter, I have no private matters here."
Jia Heng was stunned, cupped his hands and said: "Master Xu is a man of integrity, I admire him lately."
Xu Lu pondered for a while, and said: "By the way, the case of Jia Zhen has been drawn up. Lai Sheng has been sentenced according to the law, and Jia Zhen has been sent to the south of the Yangtze River. As the party concerned, you should go to listen to the jury. It's just that you are busy with business recently. Tomorrow, a lawsuit document will be delivered to the residence."
Jia Heng paused when he heard the words, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, wait a minute, Wansheng will go to Wucheng Bingmasi to announce the decree."
"Go." Xu Lu waved his hand, got into a carriage, and went straight to Jingzhao Yamen.
Watching Xu Lu board the carriage and leave, Jia Heng remained silent for a while.
It has to be said that this Mr. Xu is quite personable, even though the two have known each other for a long time because of the previous incident, he still looks like a businessman.
"Go back to the mansion first, and then, go and take over the Wucheng soldiers and horses first." Jia Heng thought about it, and planned to go to Ningguo Mansion. Earlier, Fan Yi and his cousin Dong Qian had been led by Cai Quan's people. Go out of Miyagi.
Thinking like this, it was like taking the food box from the hand of the inner eunuch.
The food box naturally contained Queen Song's pastries.
As soon as he mentioned it in his hand, he was taken aback for a moment, but he heard a whining sound of horses neighing, Jia Heng's heart moved slightly, and he just looked at the horses.
Surrounded by a group of guards, Sanqi came towards Miyagi.
The leaders are Wei Wang Chen Ran, Liang Wang Chen Wei, Princess Xianning Chen Zhi, and Princess Qinghe Li Chanyue, these nobles, and behind them are three angry horses in fresh clothes, with respectful expressions young people.
One of them did know him, it was Feng Ziying.
Jia Heng took the imperial decree in his hand and moved aside.
He didn't want to have too much interaction with these few heavenly nobles, but he couldn't avoid them deliberately at this time.
"Jia Ziyu?" However, Wei Wang Chen Ran saw Jia Heng from a distance, his eyes lit up, he called out to him on his horse, and got off his horse while speaking.
Jia Heng frowned. At this time, there was no way to avoid it, so he could only step forward and clasped his hands: "My minister Jia Heng, I have met His Royal Highness King Wei, His Highness King Liang, and Your Highness Princess."
Chen Ran said with a smile: "Just now I mentioned you, Jia Ziyu, to them. You returned from Cuihua Mountain to suppress the bandits, and you wrote another book of Three Kingdoms."
Compared with the first time we met, this young man with a dark face and self-confident identity faced Jia Heng who was still white and penniless, and his attitude at this moment was obviously much more kind.
At that time, the horse hadn't dismounted yet, but now after seeing it from a distance, it actually got off the horse.
Jia Heng paused for a moment, feeling a little inexplicable in his heart, and said: "It's a mere name, but it's humiliating to His Highness, ashamed, ashamed."
He has always kept a respectful distance from these nobles.
"Jia Ziyu, you're too modest." At this moment, Liang Wang Chen Wei, who dismounted from his horse in the distance, looked at Jia Heng with a half-smile.
And in the distance, Princess Chen Zhi of Xianning, this cold beauty also cast a pair of shining phoenix eyes on Jia Heng.
As for Li Chanyue, the owner of Qinghe County, the little girl's face was full of curiosity, and she said, "Mr. Jia, what are you doing in the palace?"
Jia Heng looked at Li Chanyue, raised the imperial decree, and said loudly: "I just met with the saint and received an errand, little princess, long time no see."
For this little princess, he actually has a good impression. Judging from his current contact, this little princess does not appear to be savage or arrogant, but rather weak and coquettish.
Li Chanyue walked up to Jia Heng with her hands behind her back, looked at Jia Heng, and then her eyes suddenly fell on the inner eunuch who was following behind her, her gaze hovered over the food box in his hand, and she said softly: "Uncle also gave me food? What kind of meal is this...?"
After Li Chanyue's reminder, Wei Wang Chen Ran, Liang Wang Chen Wei, and even Princess Xianning Chen Zhi also cast their eyes.
"It's the peach blossom cake made by the Empress. The Holy Majesty has mercy on me and gave me a plate." Jia Heng frowned and said in a clear voice.
As soon as this remark came out, Wei Wang Chen Ran was shocked. Looking at Jia Heng, the smile on his face became more and more prosperous, and he said: "Mother's mother rarely cooks, and I haven't eaten peach blossom cakes made by mother's mother for a long time."
It turned out that Empress Song personally cooked some because she loved Emperor Chongping and was often delayed by political affairs.
"Peach Blossom Cake made by the Queen Mother?" Chen Wei was also a little bit surprised, his face was calmed down, and he looked at Jia Heng, with a hint of doubt in the depths of his eyes.
The emperor thinks so highly of this young man?
And Princess Xianning also looked at Jia Heng curiously. This princess has a beautiful complexion and a cool demeanor. What is unforgettable is that there is a tear mole under the corner of her eye.
Li Chanyue smiled sweetly, her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescent moons, and said, "Mr. Jia, how about a consultation with you? How about giving me some dollars? I haven't eaten for a long time."
Jia Heng was stunned, and explained: "There are not many, I plan to go back and let my wife use it at home. Of course, if the little princess wants it, then give all the food boxes to the little princess."
Li Chanyue's clear and white face was startled, she said softly: "Forget it, I'm not good at seizing people."
Since it's for your wife to eat, what's the matter if I take it away?
Liang Wang Chen Wei just smiled when he heard this, and said, "Cousin Chanyue really can't eat this box of peach blossom cakes, otherwise, wouldn't she be someone else..."
As he spoke, he blinked at his elder brother Chen Ran.
"Ahem..." Wei Wang Chen Ran's complexion darkened, he frowned, and coughed heavily, but he felt that it was very inappropriate to say this in front of a foreign minister.
Princess Xianning, Chen Zhi, also glanced at Liang Wang Chen Wei. This princess of Xianning, who has a frosty face, looks like her mother, with long, narrow and clear phoenix eyes. Just a glance made Chen Wei feel a little timid. , a little bit of fear.
Liang Wang Chen Wei's smile froze on his face, his eyes were downcast, and he didn't say a word.
Jia Heng's face was calm, and he looked at the two kings Wei and Liang, but a comment flashed in his mind.
King Wei was gloomy, King Liang was frivolous, and the two sons of Emperor Chongping, although they were descended from the first line, did not look too magnificent, far from the kingly bearing.
Or Emperor Chongping's temperament was originally gloomy and severe, and it was only because of the influence of the environment in which his sons grew up that they had this temperament.
"Jia Ziyu, this king will not prevent you from going on business." Wei Wang Chen Ran smiled and said, "You entered the palace on foot. You can ride out of the palace on this lonely horse."
Lend out a horse, and when you return it, you will come and go, and you will gradually become familiar with it.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's just not a few steps away. I'm young and strong, so it's okay to walk a few more steps. It's just a chance to see the prosperity of Shenjing."
The king of Wei didn't seem to have expected that his "favor" would be politely declined, he couldn't help being stunned for a while, smiled, and said, "That's fine too, Feng Ziying, you send Jia Ziyu off on behalf of Gu."
Feng Ziying, who was with Wei Ruolan and Chen Yejun behind him, had seen Jia Heng just now, but it was difficult to go up to say hello due to the presence of a few nobles, so listening to the call, she just led the horse forward, Said: "Your Highness."
Wei Wang Chen Ran said with a smile: "You are also old acquaintances, see off Gu."
Feng Ziying responded, then looked at Jia Heng, and said with a smile: "Zi Yu, I haven't seen you for a while."
Jia Heng smiled and exchanged some greetings, then took the food box from the eunuch, nodded to King Wei and the others, and then left with Feng Ziying.
Watching the two people disappear into the distance, Wei Wang Chen Ran's eyes were a bit sad, and a flash of annoyance flashed in his heart.
"If I had established a good relationship with Jia Heng before..."
Thinking of all the rumors about Jia Heng that I have heard recently, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I have missed a talented person.
Chen Wei frowned, and there was a hint of displeasure on that handsome, fair face, and said with a soft snort, "Third brother, this guy named Jia has too big a face, right? Third brother gives him a horse to ride, he Neither ride."
Chen Ran shook his head and said: "He is now the father's man, so it is common sense to be more reserved."
As his son-in-law, he was also quite aggrieved. He didn't have the position of prince, and he didn't even think about cultivating his wings. There were also two elder brothers who had already opened the mansion, gathering momentum and staring at each other.
Emperor Chongping had five sons and three daughters, the eldest son was King Qi, the second was King Chu, and the third was King Wei.
The fourth daughter, Princess Nanyang, Chen Hui, has married as a wife. The fifth princess, Princess Xianning, Chen Zhi, is still in her boudoir. The sixth son is Liang Wang Chen Wei. As for the seventh daughter, the eight sons are still young.
