Chapter 707: Public Trial Conference
In that case, the rest is fine.
How to select the representatives of the four peoples, what rules and regulations there are, where to set up the meeting place, etc., are all left to the national teacher......
Anyway, no one else understands.
In order to facilitate the national teacher to deal with government affairs, the queen mother simply ordered the national teacher to live in the palace, of course, not to live in Hougong, next to the Daqing Palace is the original official office, the prime ministers and privy envoys are all working there, at this time these official positions are in the province, and there are vacant places. He lived directly under the original Zhongshu Gate, just to the court for the cabinet deliberations, the two secondary supplemented by the Zhongshu Hou Province and the Menxia Hou Province as the office space, the six ministries and the four departments of the Generalissimo's Mansion each have their own official offices, the six ministries needless to say, the four departments of the Generalissimo's Mansion also have to set up separate offices, the first assistant lives in the palace, and convenes a meeting of cabinet members every morning, and the Queen Mother and the emperor theoretically have to attend.
Of course, it doesn't matter if they don't attend.
In fact, the twenty-five-year-old stupid Empress Dowager and the ten-year-old ignorant little emperor probably won't have such interest, anyway, they are just watching from the sidelines, all the loyal and courageous Song Dynasty Shoufu like the national teacher!
As for the chief officials of other institutions other than the six ministries, this will be put on hold for the time being, anyway, it is very time to do extraordinary things now, the head of the institution has not joined the anti-party to continue to stay in office, and the position of joining the anti-party is vacant first, after all, there are not so many people, and some places have to be reserved for the loyal ministers outside, not to mention Li Gang, Zong Ze, Sun Zhaoyuan, who are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, they all have to arrange a position that is in line with their identity, especially the former prime minister like Li Gang, Zhang Shuye's official department is prepared for him, And Yang Feng's self-appointed Ministry of Industry Shangshu was also prepared for Sun Zhaoyuan.
Not to mention that some positions are also impossible to recover.
This is a good opportunity to lay off employees.
There were already so many officials in the Great Song Dynasty that it could be called outrageous, so layoffs were necessary, and it was just this opportunity to vacate the positions first, and then simply cancel them after a while.
And the cabinet member's assistant is responsible for himself.
For example, the directors of the six subordinate departments are nominated by Shangshu and handed over to the first assistant for review, and the first assistant is handed over to the queen mother for sealing, all of them are loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will definitely not form a party for personal gain, as for the four departments of the Generalissimo's Mansion, which is the matter of the Generalissimo's Mansion, all of them are handed over to the deputy marshal to be nominated and then the marshal seals, in short, these are just trivial matters. In other words, the national teacher is also a thousand years of practice, these things can be called vigorous and resolute, not to mention that he is energetic and the CPU computing speed is crazy, he solved the work of the Privy Council of the three provinces alone, sat down at the desk of the court, a pen in each hand, and the queue assembly line next to him that needed him to deal with official business, basically solved it instantly and then left, during which he couldn't delay giving orders or something with his mouth, this meeting made the two secondary assistants and those scholars dumbfounded, and the queen mother who specially brought the emperor over opened her mouth wide.
Of course, this is not worth mentioning.
As far as Yang Feng's efficiency is concerned, he will let the new court turn into a normal state in one day, it is nothing more than a Bianliang City, the Jin army is still there, and the new court can't manage other places, how many things can be solved?
In the same way, in just one day, he also solved the problem of the four people's representatives.
Elect it entirely yourself.
Take his diocese as the constituency, and the constituency in the constituency will each elect a representative, and he has a total of fifty-one constituencies in Bianliang City, so that there are two hundred and four representatives, because his believers will definitely not choose outsiders, and his believers have exceeded 70% of the population of Bianliang City at this time, so in the end, more than half of them must be all his believers, and the representatives of the scholars are not his believers, but this is not worth mentioning, anyway, on the third day, the Four Peoples Conference can already be held, and the venue is located in Tianqing Temple. The Empress Dowager presided over the opening in person, the first assistant of the cabinet personally made a government report, and the representatives of the four people put forward opinions on the spot.
It's all a motionality.
The main content of the first Four People's Congress was actually to elect a court, because nearly 70% of them were Yang Feng's followers, so the final election of a nine-member court was also appointed by him a long time ago, and then those believer representatives came to raise their hands.
By the fifth day, the court would be ready to begin public hearings of prisoners.
And the court is located in Daxiangguo Temple.
As for the masters of this royal temple, because there are dozens of people involved in the anti-party, they are all under review for the time being, in order to facilitate their management, they are all concentrated in Taixue, and a large number of students are also involved in the anti-party, so Taixue is temporarily closed, and at present, the lower levels of the city who are involved in the chaos of the party, that is, those pawns who participated in the chaos in the outer city, are all locked up there waiting to be dealt with.
Except for those who dared to rebel and rebel, they must be beheaded, and the others did not need to be executed, and how to deal with them had to wait until the main culprits had dealt with them.
In short, the Great Xiangguo Temple was occupied by Yang Feng in this way.
Then a public trial was held here for the main culprits of the anti-party, including Zhao Gou, and the trial process was completely open, the common people casually visited, and even the representatives of the Four People's Congress formed a jury to supervise it.
However, there is no one in the palace and the imperial court involved, after all, these people have special identities, there are Zhao Chen, an uncle, five uncles, and more than 30 clan branches, even if it is a reverse case to kill so many relatives at once, it is easy to criticize, especially there are several of them who are completely coerced, and for those ministers, most of them are colleagues, you must know that the total number of these anti-party masterminds is a total of 284 people, and this is only the mastermind, not including the accomplices who are also waiting for trial but do not need to be executed.
It's hard to face so many acquaintances, and it's hard to talk if their relatives and friends ask why they didn't rescue them a day later, but if the people form a court to kill them, they can get away with it.
They can't rescue them!
That mob can't afford to mess with it!
Even Jin Guotie rode naked, dragged through the streets, how dare we provoke?
That's it.
Daxiangguoji Temple.
"Guillotine!"
"Guillotine!"
……
Countless ordinary people roared excitedly.
On a wooden platform in the middle of them, Xu Bingzhe, the former Kaifeng Mansion Yin, was being pressed down by two Liujia soldiers, with a high paper hat on his head, on which were written the five red characters of the Qin prisoner Xu Bingzhe, Xu Mansion Yin, who had been locked up in the cell for five days, lowered his head and listened to the tsunami-like roar around him, behind a row of tables in front of him, nine judges in red robes were sitting precariously, and the presiding judge in the middle was actually a close disciple of the national teacher holding a shocking wood, and on the left and right sides of the stage were rows of seats, More than 200 representatives of the four peoples were also sitting there.
"Delegates, the above is the crime committed by Xu Shun, according to the criminal system of Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty, he committed the ten evil rebellions, the crime of endangering the society and the harm to the monarch are all the crimes of rebellion, plotting treason, plotting against the dynasty and defecting to the country of Tibet is the crime of treason, the second of the ten evil criminals, the crime is not forgiven, what is your opinion on the deputies?"
The presiding judge said in shock.
"Guillotine!"
"Guillotine!"
……
The delegates shouted in the same way.
Anyway, this is Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and the people of Bianliang executed Kaifeng Mansion Yin, what an exciting thing!
"Not guilty, Xu Fuyin is not guilty!"
Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded, and a representative of the scholar on the jury stood up and waved his arms and shouted, seeing Xu Bingzhe burst into tears, but unfortunately, the two same representatives next to him pounced at once, and slapped him unceremoniously, and the representative of the scholar immediately screamed.
"There is no guilt in the ten evils, the sage book is read to the dog, and a certain family is beaten for the emperor for the emperor."
One of them scolded while slapping him.
The other two delegates tried to come to the rescue, but then more delegates got up and held them down, and there was chaos in the jury bench, but the confusion did not stop the other representatives.
"Guilty, death penalty!"
Amid his screams, countless deputies shouted.
"Guilty, death penalty!"
The presiding judge said again with a shocked face.
"Guillotine!"
"Guillotine!"
……
The roar of the common people shook the sky.
"Execute it now!"
The presiding judge said with a look of surprise.
Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people cheered at the same time, and then the two Liujia soldiers dragged Xu Bingzhe, who was already paralyzed on the stage, and dragged him to the guillotine just outside, and then stuffed his head in, and then the lid on it buckled the whole person and left the head stretched to the side, Xu Bingzhe struggled desperately, but unfortunately he was imprisoned by a machine weighing thousands of pounds, and his struggle was useless, just at the same time, a law enforcement officer, in fact, was an officer of the Liujia regular soldiers, and the Liujia regular soldiers had fully performed their police duties, The magistrate read out his death sentence.
Any one of the ten heinous criminals must be sentenced to death, not to mention that he committed two crimes, participating in the murder of the emperor is a rebellion, and trying to go out of the city to join the Jin army is a rebellion, and the two crimes must be beheaded together.
This is a judgment according to law.
It is completely in accordance with the Song criminal system determined by Zhao Da.
But it must be explained that Ling Chi was not a statutory death penalty in the Song Dynasty, the death penalty stipulated by the Song Criminal System was beheading and hanging, and other Ling Chi and waist beheading were not official official death sentences in the Song Dynasty, at least Zhao Da's Song Criminal System did not have these, and later Wang Anshi began to use it in the law, but it was not in accordance with the law, after all, the ancient judgment was to put it bluntly, the Song Criminal System was just their reference, and the emperor ordered Ling Chi, who would dare to oppose it? But Ling Chi was not a statutory punishment, and it was never written into law in the entire Song Dynasty, and it was still written into the law by the Mongols.
Since Yang Feng wants to play the judgment according to law, there must be no Ling Chi and waist slashes, and the only options available to him are chops and hangings.
The verdict was read quickly.
There was silence around the guillotine, and everyone looked at the executioner......
"Execution!"
The executioner shouted.
At the same time, the executioner let go of the brake, and the huge guillotine above the guillotine suddenly slid under the weight of the weight, and the head of the former Kaifeng Fu Yin was cut off in an instant along the chutes on both sides, because it was blocked by the blade, the scene of blood spraying could not be seen, only the human head fell into the basket below.
The crowd erupted in frenzied cheers.
