Chapter 053 Supreme Court (200

After more than two months of precipitation, Weng Xiaoyi's affairs finally reached an agreement within the top leaders of the empire. Most officials and parliamentarians did not have any good feelings for Weng Xiaoyi and did not intend to save him, but they were very disgusted with the method of investigating Weng Xiaoyi. If they simply agreed with this practice, the empire would never have peace in the future. Government departments could secretly investigate a working official without any evidence, which made other imperial officials, including parliamentarians, feel cold on their backs, and it also violated the imperial constitution.

What they opposed was not the public trial of Weng Xiaoyi, nor was they afraid of the Weng family. They were more of it because of their future safety. They did not want to be accused of this problem. When the Director of the Interior Bureau Ciqi became the defendant, someone in the parliament filed a case of distrust of the government and wanted to take the opportunity to get involved in the government. If the number of members who support this proposal reached a certain number, the government of Bojiao would be in trouble. He, as the Prime Minister and all the ministers, had to go to the parliament for questioning. It is hard to say whether he would be impeached, but it would definitely have a great impact on the election at the beginning of next year.

This is obviously the young and strong people using the power they have in their hands to put pressure on the government. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, these little guys will not give up. If they want to realize their ideals as soon as possible, there is only one way, that is, to enter the government and participate in national management. The current government is not friendly to them and suppresses their propositions everywhere, which makes them very angry.

However, this proposal did not receive the support of the majority of parliamentarians, especially the Weng family. Their two members took the lead in making speeches in the parliament. First, they acknowledged the Weng family's responsibilities in this matter, and agreed with the imperial government's strict law enforcement and no criminals tolerate. As for whether the charity violated the imperial laws and whether it was related to the government, they felt that it should not be concluded too early. It would be more appropriate to wait until the public trial was over.

Most of the ordinary residents in Jinhe Country don’t know much about this. At most, they look at it from the newspaper and then slapped the table and scolded them. One scolded Weng Xiaoyi and other guys who were ungrateful and unfamiliar. Two scolded two great Song marshals for being ambitions; three scolded Weng’s family for being corrupt, and actually recruited such people to marry into their families and insulted their ancestors.

But just scolding, there was no more intense action. People are not very good at expressing their views publicly. If no one incites them, they can't remember to protest to anyone else. Especially in this matter, most people agree with the imperial government, and their starting point is their natural judgment of good and evil, not entirely considering the law.

It is very strange for them to investigate the illegality of officials. Everyone thinks that catching a traitor is a good thing. Not only is it a crime, but it also has to be rewarded. If this person is not a charity, but someone may really go to the door of the government building to argue with grievances. It can be seen how bad the two brothers of the Ci family are in the empire, and they have reached the highest level of dislike that people dislike dogs.

The Supreme Court of the Empire is opposite the library, two floors, and there are not dozens of steps at the door that make people feel that they are very small, nor are there huge national flags or national emblem. It shows no majesty, solemnity, and pressure at all, and is not as good as a district court in later generations. This is also a good thing that Hong Tao did. At the beginning of the founding of the country, he stipulated in the law that the best buildings in imperial cities must be libraries and schools, and no government building or private building must exceed the height and decoration level of libraries and schools.

At that time, most of us were from poor families and regarded going to school as a ancestral tomb. We agreed with Hong Tao's proposal 100%. But gradually, we felt that the emperor was doing a good job. Whether it was the government or private, do you want to improve your office and living conditions? Do you want to show off your style? Yes, you pay first to increase the buildings of the library and school and decorate them magnificently, and then you can go back to build your own buildings, and it cannot be super high and you must be inferior to others.

This is a disguised force that the imperial government and the people must pay attention to education and knowledge, but no one can say anything about this kind of forced. There is no filth or conspiracy, and it is all clearly defined under the sun. If you can't afford to pay, just bear it. If you don't have money, you can live in a no-floor building. So whether it is the imperial government, the Imperial Parliament or the Imperial Supreme Court, it seems that it is no different from a teaching building.

If you look closely, you will find that the materials for doors and windows in these places are not as good as those in schools. As for libraries, don’t compare them. The purely marooned Persian handmade carpets and the ice making and ice cellar systems in the cellar are more particular than those in the palaces of any country. Even in the hottest summer, a cool breeze will blow out from the large copper tubes here. Children who don’t like reading books sometimes have to come here to find a book that can be read if you can read. Nothing else, it’s cool.

Emperor Hong said again that reading is one of the most advanced and most important activities in the world. As long as the imperial treasury can still take the money for ice making, the people of the empire who love reading can not feel any discomfort when reading.

However, today the door of the Supreme Court is no longer sluggish. Dozens of horses are tied to the pillar on the left, and people are sitting on the bench on the right. There are still many people who have no place to sit, so they stand in groups in groups, muttering and whispering.

Among these people, not only imperial officials and leading figures from various major families, but also many officers, soldiers and workers came here for the same purpose. They saw with their own eyes what the first public trial of treason was like since the founding of the Empire. In addition, it is said that His Majesty the Emperor will also bring his whole family to attend today. Any place with emperor must be lively. Even if you don’t care about treason or not, it’s good to stay for a while. Just watch the show.

"Lao Yi, I heard that the government is operating a new proposal. Now we can finally stand together openly and ask the government to make changes. It's just not clear who came up with this proposal. It's simply wonderful. Can you take me to meet this person privately? It would be best if you could bring him into our Youth League." Whether the emperor came to watch the public trial actually has nothing to do with the government, but this time the government and the emperor were unusually synchronized. Not only Prime Minister Bo Jiao showed up early, but the other ministers were also not short of each other. On a bench on the side of the court, Yi looked up at the sky with his dead face. Yi Yi, who was just under 35, was already called Lao Yi, and the two men next to him were younger, less than 30 years old.

"I really know who this person is, and I can take you to find him, but do you dare to go?" Yi Yi rarely joked with others. This is a side effect brought to him by work.

"Then what's not to dare...Who are you talking about?"

"Don't die. The proposal was made by Your Majesty. The government is just a errand, and there is basically no change. As for why Your Majesty did this, he said it was a supplement to the rules, in order to prevent more Weng Xiaoyi from appearing in the future. In addition, he may have known my relationship with the Youth League, but he didn't say it clearly, but he smiled so frightened." Yi Yi still raised his face, as if there were words written in the sky, and he was trying hard to distinguish.

"How could he know? Could it be that the charity was secretly investigating you? Your Majesty, except him, shouldn't have any spies in the Supervision Department! But don't worry, this time the charity will definitely not be able to escape, and even if you don't die, you will have to lose your skin. It's a pity that the Weng family refused to cooperate and lost a chance to enter the government in vain. What a pity!" The two people next to them kept staring at the door of the court. At this time, the two old ladies from the Weng family also appeared and would actually see their families being tried, which made them even more confused.

"You underestimate our emperor. He is in the government and has more than one kind weapon in the army. Don't think that if His Majesty resigns from his government position, he can fool him casually. His energy is so great that you can't imagine. I think we are too impatient. The empire is very stable now, so many things don't need to be so urgent, right? On the issue of how to manage the country, we should listen to His Majesty more. After all, this country was established by him, and he is still our teacher in this regard." Yi Yi also felt a little commotion at the door of the court, turned his head and looked, and then shook his head. Why did the two old ladies of the Weng family come? He could guess that it must be what the emperor said to them. As for what he said to make the Weng family keep a low profile in this matter, not only regarding the rumors from the outside world as nothing, but also taking the initiative to appease and persuade the older parents of other families. He really couldn't think of it, and his mind was broken.

"The teacher also said that we should not just follow the footsteps of our predecessors. When the teacher is old, he is no longer as brave as he was when he was traveling all over the world, and even the Prime Minister of the Empire is unwilling to be the Prime Minister. If the teacher could still bring more than a dozen warships to face hundreds of enemy ships north, we would be willing to be the gunner and sailboat! Unfortunately, the empire now has no previous ambitions and is satisfied. There is a larger land and more population in the north. Why don't we conquer it? The teacher likes the Song Dynasty and has been helping it all the time. It would be better for us to take the Song Dynasty directly and let it go.
