Chapter 636 The five-part tribunal

 There are more Jinyiwei in the Ministry of Justice, and the officials are also several times higher than those at the door. If you are familiar with the officialdom, you will find that in addition to the officials of the Ministry of Justice and Jinyiwei in the Ministry of Justice, there are also officials from Dali Temple, Censorate, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Personnel in the Ministry of Justice.

These officials are not watching the lively crowd. They either come to the trial to preside over today's confession or listen to the confession.

Like the previous dynasty, the Ministry of Justice was in charge of the law and prison, similar to the modern Ministry of Public Security, and was known as the "Three Laws" together with the Dali Temple and the Censorate.

Dali Temple is similar to the modern Supreme People's Court, and it also manages the trial of Xing Prison cases. In ancient times, punishment was called Tu and Li. The "Li" of Dali Temple means "Zheng", and Dali Temple is "Daxing Temple". The Censorate was the highest supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, impeachment and admonishment agency, and also had the right to judge judicially, similar to the modern Supreme People's Procuratorate.

In the Ming Dynasty, these three agencies held the power of Xing Prison, but there was also division of labor. Xing Prison cases were mainly tried by the Ministry of Justice. Dali Temple was more cautious in the criminal organs and was responsible for refuting unjust cases and rehabilitating wrong cases. If Dali Temple did not agree to the trial results of the Ministry of Justice, it could submit a petition for the sage. The Censorate was mainly responsible for supervising the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, and enjoyed the privilege of "reporting big things and making decisions on small things". The three agencies restrained and supervised each other.

Generally, criminal cases are tried by the Ministry of Justice. If the case has a greater influence and the case is more serious, it must be tried together with the Dali Temple, the Censorate, the Tongzheng Envoy, and the officials, households, rituals, soldiers, and engineering departments. It may be a joint trial by nine departments, or several departments may be a joint trial by several departments. It depends on the size of the case. If the case is particularly serious, the highest leaders of these nine departments must come to the joint trial by one, which is what people often call the Nine Ministers’ Trials’ Trials.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty's factory and security system was quite unique. Many times, when the trial was conducted, there would be officials from Jinyiwei or East-West Factory participating, and even playing a leading role.

Originally, the plan for Zhu Ping'an to impeach Zhao Daying was tried by the Ministry of Justice and the Jinyiwei Federation, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The situation has changed a lot in recent days. There have been too many memorials to impeach Yan Song and his followers, which has led to Zhu Ping'an's impeachment case also attracting much attention.

Also, with some people's hints.

Therefore, today's case of Zhu Ping'an's impeachment of Zhao Daying was tried by the joint of intermediate officials from five departments including the Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, the Censorate, and the Ministry of War. As for the commander of the Jinyiwei, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and other leaders would not condescend the Federation to try an impeachment case of a sixth-rank official. Neither Zhu Ping'an's level nor the influence of the case was qualified.

There was a joint trial by the middle and higher officials of five departments, and it was considered to be a great emphasis on Zhu Ping'an's impeachment case.

However, although it was a joint trial by the five departments, since the case indirectly involved Yan Song and Ge Lao Yan, some bigwigs such as the Minister of Justice, the Left Minister of War, and the Dali Temple Minister would also attend.

I'm going, there are so many people.

Although Zhu Ping'an had already expected that there would be many officials today when he was at the door, after entering the Ministry of Justice, he was still shocked by the number of officials inside as if they were in court.

"Who are you?"

A Jinyiwei tried a hundred households after Zhu Ping'an entered the jail of the Ministry of Justice. They came to ask, mainly because Zhu Ping'an's clothes were too conspicuous. Others were neatly in the government. Zhu Ping'an was wearing regular clothes and wearing a cloth bag cross-body, and suddenly he stood in a group of chickens.

"The Hanlin Academy's attendant Zhu Ping'an came to express his feelings with orders." Zhu Ping'an bowed slightly, and then took out the official documents of the Ministry of Justice.

"So it's Lord Zhu, please come here."

The Jinyiwei tried to take the official documents handed over by Zhu Ping'an, and after careful reading, he returned the gift to Zhu Ping'an, returned the official documents to Zhu Ping'an, and then led Zhu Ping'an to the court in front.

The Jinyiwei family named Liang, named Liang Bi, Liang Bi is the hereditary Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei is an official position of Jinyiwei, one level lower than the Baiqi family, and is from a sixth rank official position.

"The Lord will walk forward and it is the place where the officials and officials will not send them to you if they are on duty. There is only one thing that Lord Zhu remembers in his heart. Zhao Qiu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, is the uncle Zhao Daying. Please be careful of this person."

Liang Bi led Zhu Ping'an through the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice and entered the second gate from the corner gate. When passing the corner gate, the Jinyiwei whispered to remind Zhu Ping'an, and then he clasped his fists and left straight.

oh?

Zhu Ping'an was stunned. Looking at Liang Bi's departure, he was very curious about why the Jinyiwei told him such a secret. However, looking at Liang Bi's cautious and quick departure, Zhu Ping'an did not go up to ask. If he wanted to let him know, he would naturally tell himself that if he didn't tell him, there would be another hidden truth. He kindly reminded himself that he could not let others make things difficult for him.

In fact, what Zhu Ping'an didn't know was that the reason why Liang Bi reminded Zhu Ping'an was not very complicated. When the Jinyiwei who impeached Yan Song and was exiled to the frontier, Shen Lian was Liang Bi's old friend. Liang Bi was just a sixth-rank test household. When Shen Lian was persecuted by the Yan Party, Liang Bi was powerless and the Yan Party was powerful. Liang Bi could only help Shen Lian take care of his wife and children's family.

When Shen Lian was persecuted by the Yan Party, Zhu Ping'an said in front of Emperor Jiajing, "I heard that this man had bought a coffin and put it at home before he wrote a letter, which extinguished the anger in the heart of Emperor Jiajing, making Jiajing mistakenly think that Shen Lian seeks fame by death, so he changed the death penalty to exile. This is why Shen Lian was able to survive.

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

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

After Zhu Ping'an entered the second gate, he saw the prefecture hall of the Ministry of Justice being arranged. The servants outside the prefecture were arranged in two rows according to the killing sticks, and the Jinyiwei was scattered around the courtyard. Under the command of the head of the Ministry of Justice, the clerks and officers were arranged in the courtyard, moving tables and chairs, setting up a shed, and setting up a presiding seat and a seat for the presiding seat.

Because this confession was jointly tried by five departments, there were nearly ten officials in the hall alone, including the minister of justice, He Ao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Zhao Qiu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the minister of Dali Temple, the joint magistrate of the Jinyiwei and other officials who were attending the auditors, as many as twenty or thirty.

Although the lobby of the Ministry of Justice is much larger than that of the ordinary yamen halls, there are so many people who can't sit there, especially the officials who are attending the trial, and they are all third-rank or above officials. The Ministry of Justice cannot let these bigwigs squeeze in the corner.
