Detective in the Red Chamber

Now that the Great Zhou is strong and prosperous, it may not be so.

But once the country is in trouble, or when it encounters successive years of disasters, chaos will inevitably be induced.

[Although there is no explicit statement here, the old incident of the Shaanxi-Gansu White Lotus Sect's rebellion can just fit into it. 】

In view of this, Sun Shaozong proposed in the memorial that the imperial court should establish another education system, and strive to penetrate the court's laws into the fields, so that every commoner knows and fears the law, understands the fate of violating the imperial court's laws, and how to deal with them. To abide by the laws of the imperial court and safeguard one's legitimate rights and interests.

In addition, this system can also be used to conduct a considerable degree of supervision on the education responsibilities of local officials and whether the administration of criminal names and laws is fair and just.

In fact, when Wei Yi first saw this place, Wei Yi didn't take it seriously, thinking that Sun Shaozong's was purely whimsical.

After all, the imperial court is already annoyed by the redundant officials and staff, so how can it be possible to set up another bureaucratic system that promotes laws and regulations in addition to the current system?

However, Sun Shaozong's next idea was not to establish another bureaucratic system, but to use the existing imperial examination system to borrow chickens to lay eggs.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, a group of scholars with relatively outstanding grades will enter prefectural, prefecture, and county schools as lin students and receive a certain amount of subsidies.

Among them, the best ones will be selected as tribute students and will enter the Imperial College to study.

Sun Shaozong's idea is that every spring, summer, and winter, a certain number of scholars will be randomly selected from the county school's lin students, and a month-long publicity campaign will be carried out within the county.

Because if you want to pass the exam, you must be familiar with the law of criminal names and laws, and the grannies are the best among scholars, so there is no doubt about their basic quality in popularizing the law.

The reason why autumn was skipped was to avoid the busy farming season, and secondly, it was because of fear of delaying the participation of scholars in autumn.

In the process of popularizing the law and going to the countryside, the local post station is responsible for the basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation, as well as personal safety.

During this period, the students can only answer questions and solve doubts. They are not allowed to intervene or arbitrate civil lawsuits without authorization, but they can record what they see and hear.

And after the end of each quarter's law popularization to the countryside, all the grannies have to make a summary and try to put forward suggestions for improvement.

Then the copy was sent to the Procuratorate of the province, and then transferred to Dali Temple for review by the Procuratorate.

Every autumn, Dali Temple will evaluate the pros and cons based on the summaries of law popularization submitted by the students in the previous year, and distribute them to all prefectures and counties as an important reference for the year-end evaluation of county schools.

Among them, those who perform well can be recommended by Dali Temple to directly enter the government school, or enter the Imperial College to study.

And if there is no reasonable reason, the granary students who have not participated in the popularization of the law and sent to the countryside within a year will face punishments such as punishment and expulsion.

This kind of concept, on the one hand, avoids adding officials and increasing the burden on the court; on the other hand, it also allows scholars to learn and use them and understand the people's sentiments, so that once they become officials in the future, they will not be easily deceived by traitors.

What's more, the imperial court also has additional channels for understanding local major events and minor sentiments, which reduces the possibility of local officials deceiving.

Of course, the one that has benefited the most is Dali Temple.

If this proposal can be realized, it will be tantamount to directly piercing the eyes, ears and tentacles into the local government at the county level or even lower.

What is even more exciting is that Dali Temple can also use this to expand its influence among the vast number of scholars, and even influence their future.

what does this mean?

It means that Dali Temple can grasp a considerable degree of public opinion guidance, and it is the guidance of public opinion nationwide!

Wei Yi couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought that he, who had always been an official of the Dali Temple, had the chance to become the leader of scholars.

However, after all, he is an old man who has been in the officialdom for decades, no matter how distracted he is, he still tries his best to suppress his emotions, thinking carefully whether all this is good or bad for him.

Then the hot blood in his heart quickly cooled down.

It is true that if this proposal can be passed and implemented smoothly, it will be an earth-shaking change for Dali Temple, and the person in charge will naturally gain both fame and fortune, and even leave his name in history.

but……

How can such a major policy involving the whole country be carried out in a hurry?

Three years!

It will take at least three years to implement it and see initial results.

However, Mr. Wei has been in charge of Dali Temple for seven years. Can the court allow him to stay in office for another three years?

Especially in the past seven years, he had almost no political achievements that he could show-and this kind of national policy inevitably needs a strong executor.

On the other hand, Sun Shaozong, when he was in Wuxi Prefecture, he served as a fourth-rank tour envoy for a year and a half.

As the proposer of this national policy, even if he follows the routine of being promoted every three years, taking over the position of Minister of Dali Temple two years later, it can be regarded as a smooth success.

At that time, the one who will gain both fame and fortune and leave his name in history will be his Sun Shaozong!

Even if Sun Shaozong failed to take over due to his age, he would most likely be replaced by someone else...

All in all, no matter how good this proposal is, it doesn't seem to benefit me much.

Although Wei Yi has been a salted fish with peace of mind all these years, but this opportunity to be famous in history is right in front of him, but he has no chance to do so. How can ordinary people understand the loss and unwillingness in his heart?

For a moment, he was so imaginative that even his facial features were distorted.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

At this time, an excited voice suddenly filled the entire flower hall, and Li Wenshan was holding the memorial, his eyes were red with excitement, and he repeatedly praised: "Sun Shaoqing's proposal is really shocking! Kindness, great kindness!"

It is no wonder that he is so excited. Although Sun Shaozong's proposal of "spreading the law to the countryside" ultimately benefits the entire Dali Temple, the authority to promote the rule of law and interpret laws and regulations has always been the general leader You Shaoqing.

That is to say, no matter Sun Shaozong or Wei Yi, whoever can obtain the master control of this "popularizing the law to the countryside" in the end, he, Li Wenshan, will definitely be able to get a share of it.

And as one of the few legal masters in the court, he only took up the post a year and a half ago. You Shaoqing's status can be said to be solid, and he has no worries like Wei Yi.

The big thing is gone!

Seeing that Li Wenshan was inexplicably excited, he wished he could immediately urge Sun Shaozong to submit a letter to the court, and all the plans in Wei Yi's mind disappeared in an instant.

Originally because of Sun Shaozong's status as a martial artist and his aggressive attitude recently, Li Wenshan had actually agreed to form an alliance with Wei Yi.

However, Sun Shaozong's proposal of 'popularizing the law to the countryside' changed everything in an instant.

Li Wenshan actually didn't think much about getting promoted and getting rich, but he absolutely couldn't refuse the temptation of leaving his name in history.

If Wei Yi dared to obstruct it, Li Wenshan could fight him to the death without Sun Shaozong's presence!

These two young ministers were in the same spirit, no matter how much he, Wei Yi, wanted to suppress Sun Shaozong and this proposal, how could he do it?

Go go go go~

It is difficult for a lion to compete with others. Now that he is getting older and not far from becoming an official, why bother to make enemies and harm his children and grandchildren?

Thinking of this, Wei Yi dejectedly put down the memorial, and echoed: "What Li Shaoqing said is true, such a good governance, Dali Temple must support it wholeheartedly!"

Chapter 858 The Shameless Couple

【Second Update】

Rongguo Mansion, the main house across the courtyard in the east.

Just as the Dali Temple Standing Committee reached a consensus, a family meeting was officially launched in the living room of the main room.

The participants at the meeting were the sponsors: Mrs. Xing.

Important guest: Jia Amnesty.

And Jia Yingchun who was summoned.

Because she broke up with Xing Zhong's father and daughter in the morning, Madam Xing's current mood is naturally not much better.

And Jia Amnesty had just had his left ear bitten off, half of his face was numb from the pain in the past few days, and he was wrapped in a white cloth like a mummy.

Faced with this pair of parents who looked like bereaved parents, Jia Yingchun's face turned pale. If she hadn't been a wife in the Sun's family for the past two years, she would be considered a living and nurturing body. Kneel down.

Trembling, she followed Mrs. Xing's instruction and sat down on the lower chair, but she didn't dare to sit down. She only sat on half of her buttocks, so that when Jia She and his wife asked questions, she would immediately get up and answer.

However, what awaited her was a long silence.

It wasn't until Jia Yingchun became more and more anxious that even his waist and limbs were a little swollen that Jia Amnesty suddenly gave Mrs. Xing a glance and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze? If you have anything to say, hurry up and speak in front of your own children." , what is there to hide?!"

In fact, Mrs. Xing had been waiting for him to speak, and she was reprimanded for no reason, and she felt aggrieved.

But she has always regarded Jia She as her god, and even helped Jia She to plot against her daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng for this reason, how dare she show this little grievance now?

Immediately, he forced a smile to make amends, then turned his head to Jia Yingchun and said: "I didn't want to care about this matter at first, but it has been more than half a month and I still refuse to let it go. If I don't care about it anymore, it won't work."

Jia Yingchun hurriedly got up and said: "What is it, please show me."

This respectful attitude made Mrs. Xing quite satisfied.

Especially thinking of her constant filial piety, her complexion softened a little.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling her to sit down and answer, and then said: "I heard that my brother lard seems to be deceived, and he insists on giving Xiuyan to Erlang of the Sun family as a concubine. thing?"

When Jia Yingchun heard this, she couldn't help but raised her head in surprise, her little cherry mouth was slightly opened, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.

When Madam Xing saw this, she thought she didn't know about it, and immediately said in a stern voice: "I don't care if there is any meaning of Erlang of the Sun family, that Xiuyan is my niece, a serious girl's family, How can I be someone else's concubine?! If others will listen to this, where should I put my old face?!"

Jia Yingchun's mouth opened again involuntarily, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Anyway, this matter is definitely not going to work! If you still miss me as a mother, you should quickly reject this matter, and let Sun Jiaerlang completely stop thinking about it!"

After Madam Xing finished speaking sharply, she was very proud of herself.

You don't want to do yourself a favor, do you?

Then he would simply mess up this marriage, and see how his father and daughter deal with each other!

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that she has never been welcomed by Jia's mother.

For a little money, you can treat your own brother and niece as enemies. If you really want her to be the head of the house, the whole Rongguo Mansion will sell her everything?

Seeing Mrs. Xing's happy face, Jia Yingchun finally couldn't keep silent.

"Mother, is there some misunderstanding here?"

She looked at Mrs. Xing's face, and said cautiously: "At noon, uncle asked me to help as a matchmaker, and said that you also agreed..."

"fart!"

Mrs. Xing jumped up from her chair, and said angrily: "Don't listen to him spraying dung! This shameful and conspicuous thing insists on pushing Xiuyan into the fire pit, how can I agree?!"

These words were spoken neatly, without the slightest hint of guilt.

Although Jia Yingchun knew that this stepmother was a capricious villain, she couldn't help being shocked and speechless in the face of her shameless face.

Mrs. Xing was still indignant, and she listed all kinds of bad deeds of Xing Zhong's spending time and drinking to provoke troubles after he came to Beijing, and finally said brazenly: "If it wasn't because of me, he would have been chopped into meat and taken away." Go feed the dog! Now he still dares to spread rumors about me, what a wolf-hearted thing!"

This made Jia Yingchun even more at a loss as to what to say.

The reason why Xing Zhong became what he is now is because he couldn't control himself, but Jia Amnesty's factor accounted for at least half of it!

As for looking at Mrs. Xing's face and so on - Jia Yingchun did help that Xing Zhong be good because of her face.

But Mrs. Xing herself has not even stepped forward for Xing Zhong once!

Thanks to her red mouth and white teeth, she can speak so confidently.

But when Jia Yingchun saw that she had bitten her to death and refused to admit it, she actually had the intention of shrinking back in her heart.

But after thinking about it, Sun Shaozong admired Xing Xiuyan quite a lot. If he voluntarily backed down and this marriage fell through, how would he explain himself in front of Sun Lang?

So he bit the bullet again and said: "But my daughter has already agreed to uncle, I'm afraid it's not good..."

slap~

Before Jia Yingchun finished speaking, Jia Amnesty suddenly slapped the table and grinned: "What are you two talking about? Go back and tell Erlang of the Sun family that this marriage is not impossible, it's just that people are carried out from our Rongguo Mansion. It has to be clear, at least he should have some intentions."

Really strong is even stronger!

Mrs. Xing is shameless when she contradicts what she says for money.

But Jia Amnesty simply made it clear that if he wanted to facilitate this good deed, he had to give some benefits to the superior.

In fact, these words can be regarded as a naked slap in the face of Madam Xing.

But Mrs. Xing has always been a husband and wife, so why did she ever care about her own face?

Immediately, he quickly changed his words, and put on a posture that everything the master said was right.

Seeing that the couple lost their face, Jia Yingchun knew that no matter how much she said, it would not help the matter.

So she agreed ambiguously, and took advantage of the situation to accuse her and go back to the mansion - she stayed by Jia She's side to serve the sick for the past two days.

Speechless all the way.

However, after returning to Sun's residence, Jia Yingchun first discussed the matter with Yuanyang in detail, and then called for Xing Zhong to repeat what Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing had said.

Xing Zhong regretted and hated after hearing it.

What I regret is that if I had known earlier, my daughter was already tempted, and I would never ask Mrs. Xing for anything I said.

What I hate is this direct sister, who is so disregarding the blood relationship. Back then, she just treated the father and daughter as a burden, but now she wants to use her own daughter as a bargaining chip, so as to get benefits from the Sun family Erlang.
