Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 417 The Three Trials
"The emperor is really working hard." In the cafeteria, Qi Yuan muttered about the case.

"Did you read it too?" Shangluo asked.

"Of course I have read them all. My parents were talking about it during breakfast. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. This matter is simply a proposition, and there is a problem no matter which side you choose. The emperor will not do it this year. By the time he was 30 years old, he was not studying law or Confucianism at all, he was from Neo-Confucianism. Moreover, what he encountered was something that had never happened since Emperor Taizu Gao. This incident spread to everyone along the radio and newspapers. It’s in someone’s ears, and everyone is looking at him. Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

She could only shake her head: "At this point, although there is finally a result, the matter is probably not over yet."

"Do you want to continue?"

"Yes. Because in the final analysis, this case still has to go through the three-court trial. And the three-court trial will never make a decision that goes against the ancestors, because the three-court trial itself is to decide whether the matter is legal. The one who makes the ruling. The final submission to the Holy Judgment usually involves going through a procedure - but it does not need to go through the procedure. Because the emperor is the living ancestor, Emperor Taizu Gao said that the emperor's reign is equivalent to his own reign, so all Ethical issues are not a problem for him - you see, the emperor's uncle still has to worship the emperor, because that is not worshiping his nephew, that is the 'emperor'. Only the emperor can go against the decision of his ancestors, and he can indeed do so Do, so the responsibility for making the decision rests entirely on him.”

"Ah, so what did the judge think at that time?"

"Judge?" Qi Yuan glanced at him, "I sometimes wonder if you went to elementary school in Rome. There is no judge here."

"So we don't have judges here? What about the judiciary?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Qi Yuan shook his head, "You really went to elementary school in Rome. Justice, legislation, etc., these are Roman concepts, and we have no equivalent here."

"Then where do you usually go to litigate?"

"Of course it's the county government. Of course it's the county magistrate who handles the case."

【Good guy!It turns out that the county magistrate decided the case! 】

"Good guy" Shangluo was also surprised, "Why didn't I know about it for so long?"

"Because only those who write public case novels will go to the county government all day long to collect information, and most people don't pay much attention to it, unless it is a case like 'March [-]' that aroused great discussion in the entire society."

"But that's the case." Shangluo thought for a moment. He had heard Zhu Xianxian talk about this issue before: As a Neo-Confucian, or a person who graduated from science and engineering, the administration of modern government is completely beyond his capabilities.But to put this matter into perspective, can all modern government affairs, including administrative decisions, etc., really be handled by the county magistrate alone?
He did know how the county magistrate came: the county magistrate was obtained by taking the Jinshi examination, or he was promoted from the department chief to the county magistrate starting from the imperial examination.It is common sense that Zhu Xianfen cannot control the affairs of a country. After all, he is not Emperor Taizu Gao nor Zhuge Kongming.But even a Jinshi would not be able to solve the case like Pang Tong.In the end, Li Kui is more likely to solve the case.

He asked Qi Yuan.

"Hey." Qi Yuan looked at him and shook his head, "You are indeed carried away by the Roman thing - judicial administration. We don't talk about this at all." "Then what are we talking about?"

"It's etiquette. The foundation of our country is etiquette, so what the county magistrate deals with is ultimately the issue of etiquette. For example, in a murder case, the county magistrate is responsible for deciding whether the person was murdered. In other words In short, it is whether the criminal facts of this matter exist - this does not need to be discussed at all. Have you seen "The Case of Bao Gong" and "The Case of Di Gong"? When you watch Bao Gong and Di Gong analyze the case and the crime process, they also Don’t you need to drag Lu Tiao over?”

It seems that there really isn't.He remembered that these two people just walked to the scene, and people gathered around him to ask questions, and he walked through the case.Usually at this time, the prisoner's true colors will be revealed, and then there will be Zhan Zhao or some other master next to him to detain the prisoner.As for what happens next, it’s actually not that important.

"So, laws and regulations are used to determine sentences. After confirming the facts of the crime, the judicial department will deal with it. What the county magistrate has to deal with is not the issue of laws and regulations, but the issue of 'etiquette'. The same goes for other matters. The county magistrate is responsible for the ethics of his parents. , so he is responsible for the ethics of a county. Then when it comes to the specific circumstances of the case and sentencing, there will be another department to solve it: this is called the three courts. So our country does not have any Roman divisions such as justice and legislation. We have to do it in the three courts. In the joint hearing, the opinions of all parties are integrated and then a decision is made. But if this is done, a fundamental problem will arise."

"He will eventually return to the emperor, right?" Shangluo asked.

"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded, "Because the county magistrate can only make ethical decisions within a county. For example, if the east family's roof occupies the west family's land, the county can make it clear." The government said What matters is the ethics of the government - but this matter touches on the foundation of etiquette, which is the king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son. If it concerns the ethics of the world, it will definitely go to the emperor himself. Of course, in addition to the emperor, Liu The censor must also be very tired."

"By the way, what does the censor do here?"

"The censor is the representative of the parent officials. Our three-party joint trial is about ethics, case facts and laws. But when we reach the government level, there are no parent officials - after all, we don't have state shepherds. So outside the county, At the provincial level, the official's official position became the emperor himself, and it was impossible for the emperor to listen to the case separately. Therefore, the censor would serve as the emperor's agent to participate in the three-court joint trial at the provincial level and the imperial court level. There would be The special case censor followed the case from beginning to end until it was closed. So the person who put the greatest pressure on the emperor was probably Liu censor himself. The news said that he went to see the emperor yesterday, but his battle is not over yet. He will be interrogated by three halls. It’s still going to end.”

"The one who met him was"

"The Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple. The Ministry of Punishment represents the opinions of the case, and the Dali Temple represents the opinions of the laws and regulations. Together with the censor representing the ethical opinions, this is a world of three talents. Only when all three sides are connected can a case be completed, and one side cannot be solved. No way - this matter is not allowed in Dali Temple, because according to the law, killing is not allowed. So in the morning, my dad said that he was waiting for this person to die soon. The output of elixirs these days It rained a lot, probably there are a lot of people in Jinyiwei who are busy with this matter. Forget it, let’s eat our food now. Do you still want to ask for leave this afternoon in Shangluo? "

"Well, it only takes half an afternoon. I'll leave around three o'clock."

Around three o'clock, after he gave the pill to Zhu Xianfen, he had to visit the myconids.

"Ah" he suddenly pressed his head, "I feel like I have encountered such an ethical issue. As the Creator, can I really withdraw from everything and be 'unkind'? I'm afraid it's difficult. After all, No matter what, I have to go down and get the elixir."

[Would you like to line up a censor to have a look? 】

"No. This time in the afternoon, I plan to pay a private visit incognito. Ethical issues cannot be discussed in vain. They must be discussed in context. How to deal with it specifically will be known by looking at the performance of which mushroom people. I am thinking, should I also do it? It seems that this is a good way to deal with this matter by a three-member court. But the first thing to determine is whether their society is worthy of the word 'ethics', or whether it is just a collection of ants and bees. You can see it during a private visit on Weibo arrive."
