Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 531: Sorry! I am the creator!
Although the imperial court had held two court sessions before this, it was still in the preparatory stage, so let's deal with it temporarily. This system has not been established at all, basically what Zhang Fei says.
But how can this work, the rules of the imperial court must be clear.
And the reason is waiting for this lawsuit.
Only after hearing this lawsuit, can the imperial court truly gain a foothold here.
Because this lawsuit is able to assert the power of the imperial court and make everyone realize the power of the imperial court again.
It can be finalized.
No one is out of it.
Therefore, after this lawsuit, Zhang Fei and the others did not get a moment of rest, but ushered in the busiest period.
After breakfast, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian came to the conference room to preside over the meeting.
"Teacher, we have already sorted out the confession, court records, and the work log of our imperial court about the Suizhou case. Please have a look at the teacher."
Cai Bian handed Zhang Fei a stack of thick documents.
Everything he did here had to be recorded, and then sent to the capital for study by the Judicial Court and the Legislative Council, because Zhang Fei didn't have superpowers after all, and the establishment of the system had to be promoted by the administration.
He is just an example, and other places follow this example.
"Very good!"
Zhang Fei took it, threw it to Xu Zhiqian who was beside him, and said: "After Master Xu has read it, if there is no problem, I will hand it over to Cai Jing, who will organize it into an official document and send it to the court." /
Cai Jing nodded and said: "The students understand."
Zhang Fei said again: "From today, Cai Jing will be the vice president of the judge."
As soon as these words came out, except for Cai Jing who was surprised, Cai Bian, Shangguan Jun, and Ye Zuqia all looked shocked.
This....
How are we inferior to Cai Jing?
It's not fair!
The four of them are friendly on the surface, but they are competing in private, and they refuse to accept each other.
And their expressions were also expected by Zhang Fei, explaining: "The reason why Cai Jing is assigned to this position is because I need someone by my side who can assist me with full authority, coordinate with various government offices, and take charge of our imperial government. The family gets finances.
This position has nothing to do with court trials. I am still in charge of judiciary and court hearing matters, and Cai Jing is responsible for other aspects. "
After hearing this, the three of them relaxed a lot.
It turned out that Cai Jing was asked to argue with the various bureaucracies, so...that would be fine.
Actually, when Zhang Fei came to Hezhong Mansion, Cai Jing had been arranged to handle these matters. I have to admit that Cai Jing handled it very well, but if he is not given a high position, he can't control it.

Cai Jing was very happy in his heart. This is what he has longed for. His ambition is not in the imperial court, but in the political affairs hall. Power is what he pursues. He immediately stood up and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, teacher. I will do my best."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly and smiled, "You deserve it."
Seeing his brother's excited expression, Cai Bian was happy for him on the one hand, but worried on the other hand.
He knew that this was his brother's ambition, which is understandable, people go to high places, water flows to low places, but he is still worried about his brother's character.
I don't know that Zhang Fei knows Cai Jing as much as he does, but what he needs is not a mediocre person, what he wants is talent, and a talent will have ambitions, you can't have both, it depends on yourself How to balance.
Zhang Fei obviously valued Cai Jing's ability to handle affairs more, and said: "In addition, it is the construction of our imperial court. From today, our imperial court will officially set up three permanent imperial courts, namely the civil imperial court and the criminal imperial court. The Imperial Court and the Great Imperial Court. I believe I don’t need to say more about this, if you still remember the concept of the law of the rule of law.”
Several people nodded.
Zhang Fei asked again: "Then tell me, which of the three imperial courts is the most important?"
Shangguan Jun said: "The students thought it was a civil imperial court."
Zhang Fei asked: "Why?"
Shangguan Jun said: "Because this is the biggest difference between the law of the legal system and the law of the Legalists, which has never been seen before."
Ye Zuqia hastily added: "And the civil cases must be the most numerous and the most complicated."
"Correct!"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "So the civil court will be the top priority of our court. It will be opened throughout the year, and there will be a chief judge at all times. In addition, I will warn you again, If you want to be promoted, you need to spend more energy on dealing with civil cases, because regarding criminal cases, there are many talents in the DPRK and China. In terms of seniority, it is difficult for you to rise to the top, but those who know how to handle civil cases may not be able to do so now. Just a few of you, cherish this opportunity."
Ye Zuqia excitedly said: "Can we also review the case?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I will temporarily promote you to be judges so that you are qualified to try, but at present you are not hot enough and don't have much experience. I will take you to try for a while, and then slowly Leave it to you."
The three nodded excitedly.
Zhang Fei added: "In addition, we will build three major institutions under the imperial court, namely the Legal Aid Department, the Law School and the Law Journal."
Everyone was taken aback, does our imperial court still operate so many businesses?
Zhang Fei continued: "You should know that the Legal Aid Department in Bianjing was originally served by officials sent by the imperial court, and it was not included in the public prosecutor's law. But here, the situation is different. The government is not very keen on it, but The Procuratorate may be the opponent of the Legal Aid Department, so it is inconvenient to manage the Legal Aid Department, and it can only be under the jurisdiction of our imperial court for the time being, and Master Xu will be responsible for this aspect."
The four of them glanced at Xu Zhiqian and had no objection.
Because Xu Zhiqian was the one who arranged the initial court assistance, they knew very little about it, after all, they were not from ear pens.
Zhang Fei said again: "As for the law school, first of all, the name is to distinguish it from the Guozijiande Law School, which is supported by our imperial court's financial support. As for why?"
He swept his eyes away, "Look at our empty conference room, I believe I don't need to say more, we need more legal talents now. Like the procuratorate, we will recruit some talents with a foundation in law or litigation , the relevant teaching materials are determined by me, but the class is up to you to attend.”
Shangguan asked anxiously: "Can we have lessons with others?"
Zhang Fei asked back: "I can teach you, why can't you teach others."
"...?"
Zhang Fei smiled again: "Don't burden yourself, those who can come to the law school must have a foundation in law, and you should regard it as an exchange."
"Students know."
"As for the Journal of Law?"
Zhang Fei said: "This is mainly to promote our imperial court and the law of the legal system. We will announce the trial process of most cases to the public, so that the people can understand more clearly, our imperial court's trial methods, and Law.
As for the Journal of Law, I will be in charge of it myself. And you can also write your opinions. If it is brilliant, I don't mind publishing your articles. "
At this moment, Li Si walked in, "Third Brother, Xueshi Zheng and Prosecutor Su are here."
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help being surprised and said, "Why did they come together?"
Zhang Fei slightly shrugged his shoulders, indicating that I didn't know, and stood up again: "Master Xu will preside over the meeting on my behalf, and you will follow her instructions. Cai Jing, you go with me."
"Yes."
......
Zhang Fei and Cai Jing came to the front hall, after a brief exchange of greetings.
Zheng Xie explained his reason for coming, "After the old man went back, he carefully studied Judge Zhang's judgment. Still have doubts."
Speaking of which, he paused for a while, and then said: "Actually, in the same type of case, the presiding officer will give a lenient or harsh sentence according to the specifics of the case. This often happens. But no one has ever put the reason for his judgment above the law."
Zhang Fei said: "About this...!"
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xie nodded and said, "I know Chief Judge Zhang may have this power, but for such a big matter, Chief Judge Zhang's one-sided words are still unconvincing."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "After Xueshi Zheng returns to Beijing, you can ask Bachelor Sima or Mr. Fu."
Zheng Xie nodded and said: "This old man is here today for this matter. I hope that Judge Zhang can give me a complete set of guiding principles, which I will take back to Beijing to discuss with Bachelor Sima and the others."
Zhang Fei asked in astonishment: "Complete guiding principles?"
Zheng Xie asked back: "Could it be that when it comes to military law, there are only a few guiding principles?"
Cai Jing immediately understood Zheng Xie's purpose here, opened his mouth, but still didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Fei slightly worried.
Of course Zhang Fei also understood, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, there are only a few for now, I can't guarantee whether there will be more in the future."
Su Zhe immediately said: "We, the procuratorate, also have doubts about this guiding principle. Although this guiding principle is reasonable, it can play a key role in many cases, making the final judgment biased towards one side.
If there is no written regulation in advance, then Chief Judge Zhang can fabricate guiding principles at any time to influence the judgment of a case, then it is not the judiciary, but the personal authority of Judge Zhang, which is obviously not acceptable. "
After all, Zheng Xie does not have the right to supervise, he is only present as a witness this time, and he is acquainted with Su Zhe, and the procuratorate has the power to check and balance the imperial court, so he asked Su Zhe to come with him and make the case The facts are clear.
It just so happens that Su Zhe also has this concern.
Taking this case as an example, as long as Zhang Fei slightly changes this guiding principle, it can also be very reasonable, but it may be another judgment.
This is simply a BUG.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I understand your concerns very well, and this is indeed a huge hidden danger. I can indeed use the guiding principles to influence the judgment, but I have no choice, and I am also forced. "
Zheng Xie and Su Zhe looked at each other, and looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously at the same time.
Is this still forced?
Then you come and force me.
Zhang Fei explained: "As I said in court, I was ordered to build a military court. The reason is that the laws in such cases before were not perfect, and the judiciary often did not play a decisive role. It is a process from scratch, and I am a creator. If I don’t give guiding principles, that is my dereliction of duty. If I give it, I will be self-willed.
This is why I pay great attention to the trial process and try my best to convince everyone, but I can’t do it without giving guidelines. I’m here to do this, and I’m here not just for this reason Come. "
Su Zhe said: "But Chief Judge Zhang can write down everything first. In future trials, everyone will follow this guiding principle, and there will be no doubts."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I can't do this, because I have never been involved in relevant cases before, I can't come up with some guiding principles out of thin air, I have to think from specific cases, so I take I will not give you a complete guideline for the two of you.”
Zheng Xie questioned: "Chairman Zhang always pursues fairness, impartiality, and openness, so does President Zhang think this is fair?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's not fair, it depends on how Scholar Zheng looks at it."
Zheng Xie asked: "How do you say that?"
Zhang Fei asked: "When Li Kui compiled the "Fa Jing", the punishments in it more or less involved his personal views and thoughts. Does Scholar Zheng think this is fair?"
Zheng Xie didn't know why.
Zhang Fei said helplessly: "I am a creator of the rule of law, not a law enforcer. It is really unfair if Xueshi Zheng regards me as a law enforcer, but if he regards me as a creator, This is very fair, because these principles are not one-time, when I give the guiding principles, the imperial court in the capital must also follow them, and then everyone starts to follow the same principles."
Zheng Xie was shocked and said, "Do you have such great power?"
"Without this power, I would not dare to do this."
Zhang Fei nodded, and explained: "Of course, this is also subject to restrictions. At that time, this case will be sent to the capital for final evaluation by the Court of Justice, Dali Temple, Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Legislative Council.
And when they suggested that I come here to build a military imperial court, they hoped that I could perfect military laws in specific cases. If I could come up with something out of thin air, then I wouldn't need to come here. "
