There are more brocade guards in the yamen of the criminal department, and the officials are many times more than at the door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf you are familiar with officialdom, you will find that in addition to the officials of the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei in the yamen of the Criminal Department today, there are also officials from Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Military Department, and the Ministry of Officials.

These officials are not here to see the lively melon-eating masses, they are either here to preside over today's presentation, or to observe the presentation.

Daming, like the previous dynasty, the criminal department is in charge of the law and prison, similar to the modern Ministry of Public Security, and Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are called the "Three Law Divisions".

Dali Temple is similar to the modern Supreme People's Court, but also in charge of the trial of Xing Prison case, the ancient punishment is said to be earth, and it is said that the "reason" of Dali Temple is the meaning of "punishment", and Dali Temple is "Daxing Temple"; The Metropolitan Procuratorate was the highest supervision, impeachment, and admonishment body in the Ming Dynasty, and also had judicial powers, similar to the modern Supreme People's Procuratorate.

In the Ming Dynasty, all three organs held the power of Xingjiao, but there was also a division of labor. Xingjiao cases are mainly tried by the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple is biased towards the prudent punishment organs, responsible for refuting and rehabilitating unjust cases and wrongful cases. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is mainly responsible for the supervision of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and enjoys the privilege of "judging major matters and deciding small matters". The three organs contain and supervise each other.

If the influence of the case is greater and the case is more serious, it will be tried jointly with the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Political Envoy, and the departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, and workers. If the case is particularly serious, it will be jointly tried by the top leaders of these nine departments, which is often referred to as the Jiuqing trial.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty factory guard system is relatively unique, and many times there will be officials from Jinyiwei or East and West Factories participating in the trial, and even playing a leading role.

Originally, Zhu Ping'an's impeachment of Zhao Daying was planned to be tried by the Criminal Department and the Jinyi Guard Federation, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the situation has changed a little bit in the past few days, and there have been many twists and turns in the impeachment of Yan Song and his henchmen, resulting in Zhu Ping'an's impeachment case also attracting much attention.

Plus, add some people's hints.

Therefore, today's case of Zhu Ping'an's impeachment of Zhao Daying was tried by a joint trial by middle-level officials from five departments, including Jinyiwei, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Military Department. As for the commander of Jinyiwei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the Dali Siqing, and so on, these leaders will not deign to jointly try an impeachment case of a six-rank official, whether it is Zhu Ping'an's level or the influence of the case, they are not qualified enough.

There are middle- and high-level officials from five departments who have jointly tried the case, and they have already attached great importance to Zhu Ping'an's impeachment case.

However, although it was a joint trial of middle-level officials from the five departments, because the case indirectly involved Yan Song and Yan Gelao, individual bigwigs such as Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Zuo Shilang of the Military Department, and Dali Siqing would also attend the hearing.

I'll go, there are so many people.

Although Zhu Ping'an had expected that there would be a lot of officials today when he was at the door, after entering the yamen of the Criminal Department, he was still startled by the number of officials inside as in the previous court.

"Who are you?"

After Zhu Ping'an entered the yamen of the Criminal Department, a brocade guard came to ask, mainly because Zhu Ping'an's clothes were too conspicuous, and everyone else was neatly organized, so Zhu Ping'an was wearing regular clothes and carrying a cloth bag cross-body, and he was suddenly a flock of cranes.

"Zhu Ping'an, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, was ordered to come to present his case." Zhu Ping'an arched his hand slightly, and then took out the official document of the Criminal Department.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu, please come here."

Jinyi Wei tried 100 households to take the official document handed by Zhu Ping'an, and after reading it carefully, he returned the salute to Zhu Ping'an, returned the official document to Zhu Ping'an, and then led Zhu Ping'an to the court in front.

This Jinyi Wei tried a hundred households surnamed Liang, named Liang Bi, Liang Bi is a hereditary Jinyi Wei. Trying 100 households is an official position of Jinyiwei, which is one level lower than 100 households, and it is an official position from the sixth grade.

"If you go further, you will be the place to express your feelings, and the lower officials will not send them off if they are on duty. There is only one thing to ask Lord Zhu to keep in mind, Zhao Qiu, the left attendant of the military department, is Zhao Daying's uncle, and please be careful of this person. ”

Liang Bi led Zhu Ping'an through the courtyard of the Criminal Department, and entered the second gate from the corner gate.

Oh?

Zhu Ping'an was stunned, looking at Liang Bi's departing back, he was very curious why this brocade guard wanted to tell him such a secret. However, looking at the back of Liang Bi's cautious and quick departure, Zhu Ping'an did not go up to ask. If he wants to let himself know, he will naturally tell himself, if he doesn't tell himself, it will be another secret, and people kindly reminded him that he can't let people embarrass him.

In fact, what Zhu Ping'an didn't know, the reason why Liang Bi reminded Zhu Ping'an was not very complicated, Shen Lian, who was exiled from the Jinyi Wei who impeached Yan Song, was Liang Bi's old friend. When Shen Lian was persecuted by the Yan Party, Liang Bi was powerless, and the Yan Party was powerful, so Liang Bi could only quietly help Shen Lian take care of his wife and children.

When Shen Lian was persecuted by the Yan Party and was in danger of being killed, Zhu Ping'an said in front of Emperor Jiajing, "The minister heard that before this person went to the book, he had already bought a coffin and put it at home", which extinguished the anger in Emperor Jiajing's heart, and made Jiajing mistakenly think that Shen Lian was seeking fame with death, so he changed the death sentence to exile. Shen Lian was able to survive because of this.

Liang Bi reminded Zhu Ping'an, on the one hand, he was grateful to Zhu Ping'an because of Shen Lian's matter, and on the other hand, he admired Zhu Ping'an's courage to impeach Yan Dang.

Liang Bi's family has a wife and a young family, and he knows that he doesn't have the courage of Shen Lian, so he can only use this hidden way.

After Zhu Ping'an entered the second gate, he saw the public hall of the criminal department being arranged, the officers outside the public hall were divided into two rows according to the killing sticks, the brocade guards were scattered around the courtyard, and the scribes and messengers were arranging the public hall in the courtyard under the command of the director of the criminal department, moving tables and chairs, building pergolas, and arranging the chief trial seat and the observer seat.

Because the presentation was jointly presided over by the five departments, there were nearly 10 officials sitting in the hall alone, plus He Ao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhao Qiu, the left attendant of the Military Department, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, Dali Siqing, Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, and other officials who were observers, as many as 20 or 30 people.

Although the lobby of the Criminal Department is much larger than the general yamen lobby, so many people can't sit down, especially the officials who are observing are more than the officials who are presiding over the trial, and they are all officials of the third grade or above, and the Criminal Department can't let these bigwigs crowd in the corner.

Therefore, the Chen Qing Gong Hall was temporarily set up in the courtyard.
