Detective in the Red Chamber

Seeing that the initiative to report the case failed to get a response from the local officials, and the working group sent out caused a lot of criticism, Wei Yi immediately withdrew his eggs.

Since then, the prestige of Dali Temple has declined further, leading to today's predicament.

If we carefully analyze the reasons for Wei Yi's failure at the beginning, the biggest problem is that he completely placed his hopes on the imperial power, but did not dare to touch the interests of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment.

As a result, this top-down trend only caused some ups and downs, and it was still a few blocks away from the sandstorm, let alone a change of world.

However, this cannot be completely blamed on Wei Yi.

Not to mention the Ministry of Criminal Justice. In the current system, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is in a supervisory position. With the current state of Dali Temple in decline, it is basically wishful thinking to want to seize power from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Of course, if the situation is reversed in the future, it is completely impossible to deprive some rights from the Ministry of Punishment.

As for the Metropolitan Procuratorate...

Although there is no direct supervisory authority over Dali Temple, they themselves supervise the morality of all officials, and their deterrent power to civil and military officials is comparable to that of Dali Temple, which holds the "General Constitution of the World Rules and Regulations", but has no real power inside. , more than a hundred times stronger.

Therefore, it is even more difficult to seize power from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Especially these people are just writing and talking for a living. If they really make a fuss in front of each other, there is no entry point to gain a firm foothold. How easy is it to seize power?

Therefore, when Sun Shaozong took office, he had a headache for a while.

Fortunately, although he is not from the court or procuratorate system, he still has some understanding of this set, and finally borrowed some ideas from it:

Since it is not easy to seize power, and using the imperial power to exert pressure is not very effective, then simply start a new one and create a system that can take root in the local area and is in line with the core authority of Dali Temple.

The core of this system is also four words: spread the law to the countryside!

In addition to checking difficult and miscellaneous cases reported from various places, or handling imperial cases under the orders of the emperor, Dali Temple also has the responsibility of compiling and propagating laws.

The stall in front is now in charge of Sun Shaozong, but it has a considerable degree of overlap with the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The latter two parts are logically in charge of You Shaoqing and Li Wenshan.

However, over the years, You Shaoqing of Dali Temple has only been in charge of compiling laws, and has hardly been involved in propaganda.

Not only that, according to what Sun Shaozong saw and heard when he was in the middle of the government, the local government was also passive and sabotage in the work of popularizing the law.

Because the current popular argument is: the people can be made to know it, but not to be made to know it.

As long as the law is in the hands of officials, it is enough. As for the ordinary people, the more laws they know, the easier it is for litigants to cause trouble.

This kind of speech and thinking, in fact, has not been completely eradicated in future generations.

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong didn't point out that it could be completely eradicated. For him, as long as he can use this excuse to find another way in the power of the Sanju Department, that's enough.

However, it is definitely not feasible to put forward the idea of ​​"spreading the law to the countryside" out of thin air - at least we must first find some evidence to prove that it is necessary to do so, instead of asking for trouble.

Because of this, Sun Shaozong asked Liu Xianglian and others to check the statistics of the records of people from all over the world gathering to fight with weapons in recent years.

Before he was an official in the capital, he didn't think so.

After going south to Huguang, I discovered that the group fights among the people because of water, fields, and even people's fighting spirit can be said to be one after another.

This is due to the lack of control of the local government, and secondly, it is also because most of the people only know the clan elders and do not know the laws of the court. Once conflicts arise, they often resolve them by violence.

Only those who are weak and bullied by the powerful will think of the government.

However, it is often difficult for local officials to make a clear judgment on such things as the mother-in-law and the public. .

At that time, Sun Shaozong felt that he should find ways to increase the government's control and try to avoid this kind of thing from happening. Otherwise, as time goes by, the local clan forces will definitely have less and less awe of the government.

When the place is completely out of control, the Great Zhou Dynasty is probably going to end.

Joining Dali Temple now is just a matter of combining two things, trying to curb the intensifying private fighting in the countryside through the method of popularizing the law;

Of course, the details are definitely not that simple, and they need to be carefully considered before they can be discussed in the court.

In short, as long as the two things can be done the same in the end, it means that Sun Shaozong's official position in Dali Temple was not in vain.

Chapter 790

Sun Mansion, study room.

The ball of paper, which was compressed to the extreme, hit the wastebasket with a bang, and the two-foot-square wastebasket swayed from side to side, and finally fell to the ground slumped, and more than a dozen balls of toilet paper rolled out again.

Sun Shaozong glanced back, feeling more and more depressed.

In the past, at most, he would just write a case report or something, but this is the first time he has made suggestions in this serious memorial.

Even if I found some templates in advance, I still couldn't figure it out if I really wanted to start writing.

After all, compared with the official articles of later generations, the performances of this year are much more colorful.

With Sun Shaozong's current level, it would be good to be able to explain things clearly in classical Chinese, and it would be really difficult for him to meet those beginnings, transitions and so on.

In the past, he was just barely able to get round.

Anyway, he was born in martial arts, and he was not a serious literati, so Emperor Guangde would not care too much about it.

But after this memorial is posted, it must be circulated within a certain range, and it may even be published for discussion by relevant departments.

Even if Sun Shaozong is not afraid of being laughed at by others, the face of Dali Temple must always be taken into account.

That's it.

Let's think about it first, and then continue to write.

Sun Shaozong threw Zi Hao on the table, and took a bucket of well water from the yard to wash, the cold touch immediately cleared the restlessness in his heart.

Maybe it's time to find someone to help polish it?

For example, Yu Qian is quite suitable.

It just so happens that he can barely be regarded as a close minister of the emperor now, and by the way, he can inquire about the reaction of Emperor Guangde after reading this memorial.

But if it doesn't work today, seeing that it's going to be dark, I'd better go to the household department yamen to look for him tomorrow - then I'll use the name of going up and down for Dali Temple to ask for salary.

Having said that, I really don't know what the Ministry of Households thinks, but at this juncture, the money is still withheld and not distributed-isn't it afraid that the government and the public will think that they are avenging their own personal revenge?

Thinking about the disputes in the court, Sun Shaozong walked out of the courtyard confidently, and just rushed a few steps to his home when he saw his son Sun Chengyi galloping in front of him from a distance.

There was a woman and two servant girls by his side, each holding their arms like old hens, protecting him in front of and behind him, for fear that he would accidentally knock on something.

But the more this was the case, Sun Chengyi was rushing towards the dangerous place, either climbing the railing or jumping over the stone, holding a bamboo pole he picked up from nowhere in his hand, he would go up and chop everything he saw.

tsk~

This little bastard really needs to be cleaned up!

Sun Shaozong immediately blocked his son's only way with a tiger's face and hands behind his back.

"Daddy!"

But the little guy didn't see the difference between his eyebrows and eyes. Seeing that his own father was in front, he couldn't help but ran over, took out a sesame ball with two bites from his pocket, and presented it to Sun Shaozong like a treasure. : "Daddy eats candy."

Sun Shaozong couldn't hold back immediately, Mao Yao wrapped the boy in his arms, took a bite of the sesame ball, and said with a smile: "Daddy has eaten it, you can eat it by yourself--good boy, what are you playing just now?" Woolen cloth?"

"Sword play."

Sun Chengyi vigorously waved the bamboo stick in his hand, and added in a serious manner: "Like daddy's sword skills!"

this……

"Remember to talk about sword dancing in the future."

After correcting his son's slightly ambiguous remarks, Sun Shaozong really became a little moved.

A few days ago, he said that he would practice martial arts diligently, but it was not a coincidence, and now he just killed two birds with one stone.

"Let's go! Daddy is playing... ah bah, show you the sword dance!"

He strode to his small courtyard with his son in his arms. In order not to favor one person over another, he even called out his daughter.

Originally, I wanted the mother-in-law and maid to help restrain the two children, but I never wanted to take out the handle of Frostmourne from the inner storehouse, but found that the three wives and concubines were already waiting in the yard.

Seeing the crowd cheering so much, Sun Shaozong himself became interested, threw the cloak to Ruan Rong, and swung the huge sword in his hand.

In fact, in terms of proficiency in martial arts, he is still far behind Big Brother Cheap right now.

But the people present are all women, how can they tell the height of their eyebrows?

Seeing this hundred-pound murder weapon being played up and down by my master, everyone couldn't take their eyes off it and cheered again and again.

While Second Sister You was swayed by watching, she was looking forward to the spirit of the dragon and horse in the evening.

He also thought about it, after Sun Shaozong practiced martial arts, he must take a bath, so it happened to be able to use the things he had prepared a few days ago.

So he hurriedly called Caixia to come over, and gave a few words of advice.

After Caixia listened to her aunt's instructions, her melon-seeded face turned red, and she wanted to hesitate to evade, but she was pushed by the second sister You, who urged her to hurry up, so as not to miss the second master's interest.

With no other choice, Caixia had no choice but to go to the small kitchen quietly.

Although the yard is really lively, but now it's time for dinner, how could the women and maids on the stove dare to leave without authorization?

He could only glance across the crack of the door, and then chattered.

Seeing Caixia come in suddenly, the leading middle-aged cook hurriedly got up from the bench, wiped her hands on the apron, and said with a smile: "Miss Caixia is coming here at this time, could it be that Aunt You has some orders?"

Although she greeted people with a smile on her face, Caixia didn't intend to reciprocate at all - Caixia also stayed in this small kitchen for a while back then, and she was often made things difficult by this cook.

So Caixia just replied with a sullen face: "Auntie ordered to prepare hot water and a bathtub in the kitchen, and bring them to our room after dinner."

"Does the tub need to be big or small?"

"The most... the biggest one."

When the word 'biggest' was mentioned, Caixia couldn't help but blushed again.

The cook just got bored, and she felt a little unhappy, seeing her like this, how could she not know what's going on tonight?

Immediately, she couldn't help joking and said: "It's lucky for the girl to see the second master wield the sword, and in a blink of an eye to learn the second master's marksmanship..."

"Pooh!"

Before she finished speaking, Caixia got annoyed, spat on her face, and scolded: "What are you, you dare to talk about our second master carelessly?"

As soon as the cook said that, she actually regretted it.

If you offend the uncle in this house, you can still ask the second master for mercy, but if you offend the second master, there is really no one to save.

At that moment, she didn't bother to wipe her face, and hurriedly laughed again: "How can I say that, how dare I talk about the second master? Girl, please don't get me wrong, I'm just used to joking with people, and I'm cheap at times, but I don't Don't mean it!"

As he said that, he gave himself a big mouth.

Only then did Caixia snort, and without looking back, she said, "Don't forget to bring the bathtub to the west chamber after dinner."

"I know, I know, we will definitely not delay our business! Go slowly, girl!"

The cook chased after him for a few words, but when she turned her head, she spat one after another: "Shameless bastard! Now that you don't even have a title, you dare to ride on our heads and do your best - just look at her!" One day there will be a horse with short stirrups, how will I deal with her!"

The kitchen was surprisingly quiet, no one refuted or echoed...

However, after Caixia left the small kitchen, she went back to the west chamber by herself, and searched through the box to find two things.

At first glance, these two objects are similar to the sexy corsets of later generations: two pieces of oval fabric connected together, but there is a hole the size of an egg in the middle.

However, these two corsages are decorated with a lot of fine fleece, which is soft to the touch, but a little rough when rubbed.

Putting these two objects together with a few pieces of fragrant soap, Caixia blushed and looked at them for a few times, and couldn't help but spit again: This Aunt You is really a tortured fairy, but she has come up with so many tricks. Even folded in with himself.

No, I will definitely not be able to follow her wishes today!

After making up her mind, Caixia gritted her teeth and picked up the curtain to go out, and went to find Second Sister You to talk about it.

…………

The next day approached noon.

Caixia got up late, flushed and swept out half a bucket of water from the west wing room, and for some reason, couldn't help rubbing her chest again and again.

first change

"Since that's the case, I will wait for the good news quietly."

Outside the door of the East Hall of the Household Department, Sun Shaozong bowed his hands, and after receiving the response from the Minister of the Household Department Zhao Hong, he bowed and took two steps back, and then he left the courtyard under the guidance of the yamen servants.
