Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 250 Step by step
After this battle, more than [-] officials were arrested, and even their family members exceeded [-].

Such a big deal is almost the cruelest method since the Taizu, and it seems that this is the first time that the whole of Huguang has known King Yu.

However, the aftermath of the military and political department seemed extremely appropriate.

After the chief official was arrested, the secondary officials, such as the county magistrate and Zhu Bo, were quickly promoted to higher positions.

This is a beautiful thing that I could never have imagined during the Taiping Festival. Suddenly, I became diligent and diligent, and the place was immediately stable.

The long-awaited garrisons everywhere are full of regrets.

In addition, Zhao Shu even asked Xiangyang Mansion to open the middle door to openly try those officials who were arrested.

In addition to the fabricated collusion with thieves, other criminal evidence was dug up, including public opinion, which also subsided for a while.

King Yu witnessed Zhao Shu's aftermath, and praised: "The head of Zhao has the talent of the prime minister!"

So, with a big wave of his hand, he enjoyed a house and a set of four treasures of the study.

Anything about money is too clichéd.

The bullock carts are moving slowly, and Xiangyang City is very lively, with noisy restaurants and many shops.

Taking advantage of the fine weather, the girls who stayed at home for many days went out together one after another, with thin shirts and thin waists, red flowers and green flowers.

Fragrant wind gusts, powder filled the air, what a fascinating breeze.

"stop--"

The unpretentious bullock cart was parked in a wine shop facing the street, and the windowsill revealed a strong smell of distiller's grains.

Accompanied by the smell of sweat and saliva, many people sat on the slippery and black tables and chairs.

"Is this an ordinary person?"

Zhao Shu raised his foot, hesitated for a moment, then slowly entered, found a lively place, and sat down cautiously.

He has been away from the folk for too long, and he almost forgot its taste.

"A pot of Biluochun."

Zhao Shu raised his sleeves and said.

Now, my ears are full of noisy discussions, like ten thousand flies.

"Yan Chongxin said that he can hear the real voice of the people this way, but I don't know how famous I am, Zhao Shu?"

Drinking tea, Zhao Shu calmed down inexplicably.

In the big operation a few days ago, dozens of officials were tried. Although he said that he was doing things for King Yu, he still cherished his reputation and wanted to see what the "public trial" that King Yu said was going to be like.

"Hey, it's so lively, so much fun!"

A businessman wearing a melon skin hat, full of philistines: "Back then, these Bailihou were greedy, but now they have fallen to the current state, constantly begging for mercy..."

"Hey, what's the matter, there's someone who wets his pants, just like a three-year-old."

The cheerful atmosphere is contagious, and the big man on the side poked his head out and said, "It's still a comfortable trial, these corrupt officials should die, it's too cheap for them to farm."

"King Yu is really powerful!"

……

Master Qingtian is rare because he is rare.

Witnessing the majestic magistrates sweeping the floor in a gentle manner, all ordinary people seem to have eaten ice cubes in the dog days, not to mention how comfortable they are.

For King Yu's various transgressions, they didn't care so much, it was worth it if they could vent their anger in their hearts.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with this matter."

Satisfied, he left the restaurant and looked up to see that Xiangyang City is bustling and lively, full of rules and prohibitions.

This is the beauty of order.

"If it is what the people want, there is still some truth in His Highness's words."

With hope in his heart, he boarded the bullock cart and went to report on his duties.

After receiving the reward from King Yu, it is customary to thank him.

After kowtowing, Zhao Shu wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist, and said helplessly, "Your Highness's penmanship is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid that in the near future, I'm afraid that I'm going to be on par with Taizu, and my ministers won't be able to stand it anymore."

"Extreme times, extraordinary measures!"

Zhu Yixi naturally heard the complaints, but he didn't care, and looked up at Zhao Shu's tired face:

"I'll pay attention next time, though."

Zhao Shu was dumbfounded.

After walking a few steps, King Yu suddenly said: "The most difficult thing in this world is to abolish officials, and the easiest thing is to add yamen."

"Everyone is afraid of officials, but wants to be an official."

Zhao Shu said softly, he didn't understand what King Yu meant by these words, but it was enough to respond.

"The state and the government set up a general judgment to control the litigation in one place, which is too cumbersome to fool things."

The king of Yu said: "I intend to set up general judges in each county, and also act as an agent in litigation and take charge of judicial matters."

In the prefectural yamen of the Ming Dynasty, there was a general judge, who was responsible for reviewing lawsuits and important cases sent by counties.

Professionalism is also possible.

However, the magistrates of the counties were almost caught, and the cases were full of ugliness, and there were countless stupid and mediocre officials, which gave birth to famous criminal masters.

To put it bluntly, Bailihou has too much power, and the decentralization of power is only at the provincial level.

Of course, Zhu Yixi also considered setting up a court and going out independently.

But it still feels too advanced. I am afraid that ordinary people will not understand it. It is better to directly decentralize power by adding a general judgment.

"The county judge?"

Zhao Shu thought about it, touched his beard, and said immediately:
"His Royal Highness's separation of powers is quite appropriate, but if the general judge is the assistant official of the state capital, it may not be appropriate for the counties to use his name again."

"How about calling me a judge?"

"can."

Zhu Yixi nodded, as long as power can be separated, the name is secondary.

"As for these judges, let the talents of the Military and Political Department go!"

"But Your Highness, they won't judge the case!"

"Neither will anyone else!"

Zhu Yixi laughed and said, "Where did I find so many judges?"

"When the time comes, send a few subordinate staff over there, and the team will be set up, and everything will be in order."

Zhao Shu thought for a while, and felt that what King Yu said was really reasonable. How many scholars who passed the imperial examination specialize in criminal names?

Let's learn while running in!
……

Here, Tang Fu satisfactorily completed the task and returned home, and the courtyard is still lively.

"Uncle Tang!"

Taking advantage of the bright light, Gouzi dipped his brush in water, practiced big characters, and his wrist posture was in a good shape.

"Not bad!"

Although he didn't know a word, Tang Fu nodded and praised: "If you practice more, you will definitely be admitted as a scholar in the future."

There was no panting in his ear, Tang Fu understood that it was because Jia Yan hadn't come back, and he was carrying a heavy object. He thought about the thatch before, and took out a silver penny:
"Here, Gouzi, Uncle Tang rewards you."

"So much?" Gouzi was immediately stunned as soon as a hundred pennies worth of silver appeared:

"Uncle Tang, my father will beat me."

"Hahaha!"

Tang Fu raised his head and laughed, and patted Gouzi's little head, wanting more and more in his heart to have a pot-boiler to have a baby.

"Go on, dog."

Touching the gold and silver in his bosom, he sighed: "Uncle Tang has made a fortune this trip, so he has to leave the courtyard, start a family and start a business, there is no delay!"

Saying that, he threw down the silver penny and left gracefully.

Gouzi was stunned.

The gains from a raid on the house, plus rewards, have already allowed him to leave the courtyard with confidence and get his own small house.

No house, how to start a family?

"A man has to have power!"

He sighed softly.
