Zhou middle is the mainstay of old party, although the status is less than Cui Ming, but the position in old party, Cui Ming not necessarily compares favorably with. 周仲是旧党的中流砥柱,虽然身份不及崔明,但在旧党中的地位,崔明未必比得上。 In three provinces, the decision of secretariat direct participation national affairs, but how to explain the national policy, and implementation, actually will be the Shangshu six responsibility , six spaces that will have many free displays, will comply in public but oppose in private, clever situation, no longer a few. 三省之中,中书省直接参与国家大事的决策,但如何解读国策,并且将之落实,却是尚书六部之责,这其中,六部有不少自由发挥的空间,阳奉阴违,偷天换日的情况,不再少数。 The secretariat supplies ideas by all means that has the implementation regarding Shangshu six, how to implement, is actually beyond control. 中书省只管出谋划策,对于尚书六部有没有实施,如何实施,却鞭长莫及。 Why Zhou middle according to helping Madame clear/pain, Li Mu is puzzling. 周仲为何会按照帮助楚夫人,李慕百思不得其解。 Even if he has not the short time in Divine Capital, but the matter of Imperial Court circles curved, he has not looked at an insight. 即便他在神都已经有不短的时间,但朝中之事多弯绕,他至今也没有看个通透。 Perhaps, between Zhou middle and Cui Ming have the long standing grudge, wants to use Madame's clear/pain hand to remove him, perhaps, he and stretch/open spring/lust are the same, is stems from the middle-aged man merely to the outstanding similar envy...... 或许,周仲和崔明之间也有旧怨,想要借楚夫人之手除掉他,又或许,他和张春一样,仅仅是出于中年男人对优秀同类的嫉妒…… Sir Mei leads Li Mu and Madame clear/pain, entered the Shangyang palace. 梅大人带着李慕和楚夫人,走进了上阳宫。 Madame clear/pain is the fifth boundary, is world powerhouse, in that together back facing palace, is courteous lowering the head. 楚夫人已是第五境,位列世间强者,但面对殿内那一道背影时,还是谦恭的低下了头。 Sir Mei walks to go forward, said: „Your majesty, Li Mu and that Chu female arrived.” 梅大人走上前,说道:“陛下,李慕和那楚氏女子到了。” Madame clear/pain worships on bended knees on the ground, said respectfully: „Daughter see Empress your majesty.” 楚夫人跪拜在地上,恭敬道:“民女参见女皇陛下。” Empress has turned around, said in a soft voice: „Gets up.” 女皇转过身,轻声道:“起来吧。” Madame clear/pain still knelt on the ground, said: „20 years ago, Cui Ming kills the daughter, harms my Chu 36 human lives, requested that your majesty upholds the justice for the daughter.” 楚夫人仍旧跪在地上,说道:“二十年前,崔明害死民女,又害我楚家三十六条人命,请求陛下为民女主持公道。” Empress lifts the hand gently, Madame clear/pain is not then able to worship on bended knees. 女皇轻轻抬手,楚夫人便无法跪拜。 She looks at Madame clear/pain, said: „Massacre of 20 years of Chu, although is Cui Ming behavior, but Royal Court also has the mistake, We will handle matters according to law, in addition, you want anything to compensate, performing to propose.” 她看着楚夫人,说道:“二十年楚家的惨案,虽然是崔明所为,但朝廷也有错,朕会依律办事,除此之外,你想要什么补偿,尽可提出。” Madame clear/pain shakes the head, said: „Chu has not colluded with evil cultivator, was falsely accused by the villain, the daughter thinks a Royal Court also Chu pureness, but also wants that Cui Ming, for his actions, pays the proper price!” 楚夫人摇了摇头,说道:“楚家没有勾结邪修,都是被小人诬陷,民女想朝廷还楚家一个清白,还要那崔明,为他的所作所为,付出应有的代价！” Empress nods, said: „This is Royal Court should do.” 女皇点了点头,说道:“这是朝廷应该做的。” She looks at Madame clear/pain, said: „You just broke the boundary, the foundation is not steady, Mei health/guard, you take some soul jade from the storehouse, helping her consolidate the boundary......” 她看着楚夫人,说道:“你刚刚破境,根基未稳,梅卫,你从库中取一些魂玉,帮助她稳固境界……” Sir Mei nods, said to Madame clear/pain: „Please come with me.” 梅大人点了点头,对楚夫人道:“请跟我来。” Present Madame clear/pain, does not need Li Mu to protect, the domestic protection will protect her, after they leave, Li Mu does not plan to treat again. 现在的楚夫人,已经不需要李慕保护了,内卫自会保护好她,他们离开之后,李慕也不打算再待下去。 After previous time was dashed the spring dream by Empress the awkwardness, he in front of Empress, but also some non- natures, the clothes put on several obviously, body wrapped solid, actually a nakedness, stark naked feeling. 经过上次被女皇撞破春梦的尴尬,他在女皇面前,还有些不自然,明明衣服穿了几层,身体被包裹的严严实实,却总有一种赤身裸体,一丝不挂的感觉。 Li Mu bows to hold the Fist Dao: „Without other things, the feudal official also asked to be excused.” 李慕躬身抱拳道:“若是没有其他的事情,臣也告退了。” Empress asked: „Didn't this matter, why tell Us earlier?” 女皇问道:“这件事情,为什么不早点告诉朕？” A Cui Ming case, was ordered by Empress directly, with by stretch/open spring/lust in deliberation hall restless, the significance was entirely different. 崔明一案,由女皇直接下令,和由张春在朝堂上闹腾,意义截然不同。 Li Mu, said honestly: „Of Cui Ming's case, sect Zhengsi is more suitable to process, once your majesty directly meddles, will send some wrong signals to the deliberation hall, affects the balance of New Party and old party . Moreover, your majesty must face the pressure of western palace directly, the pressure of Xiao royalty......” 李慕顿了顿,老实说道:“崔明的案子,宗正寺比陛下更适合处理,一旦陛下直接插手,会给朝堂释放一些错误的信号,影响新党和旧党的平衡,而且,陛下还要直接面临西宫的压力,萧氏皇族的压力……” Empress said: „You will think of Us actually.” 女皇道:“你倒是会为朕着想。” Li Mu said earnestly: „Eats Monarch salary, shares sorrow for Monarch, this is the feudal official should consider.” 李慕认真道:“食君俸禄,为君分忧,这是臣应该考虑的。” The Empress silent moment, sighed lightly, said: „More than 30 people, because of a framing spoken language, disappear in this world, Royal Court gives the power of place government authorities, was too big?” 女皇沉默片刻,轻叹了口气,说道:“三十余口人,就因为一句构陷的言语,消失在这个世界上,朝廷给地方官府的权力,是不是太大了？” Li Mu had also considered this issue. 李慕也曾经考虑过这个问题。 Initially handled Zhao Yong and Ren Yuan, so long as County Magistrate Zhang handed over to apply, Prefecture Yamen has checked the dossier, without the questionable point, can sign and issue to cut copy clerk definitely. 当初处置赵永和任远,只要张县令递上申请,郡衙查过卷宗,没有疑点,就能签发斩决的文书。 In fact, runs the common people to live to kill the power, is district county magistrate. 实际上,掌管百姓生杀大权的,是一县县令。 The folk has the proverb, family county magistrate, extermination Prefecture Protector. 民间有俗语,破家县令,灭门郡守。 county magistrate, can let the common people in area of jurisdiction, is with one's family broken up and decimated, defending of county, whose gate must extinguish, whose family/home searches, is a few words. 一个县令,就能让辖区内的普通百姓,家破人亡,一郡之守,要灭谁的门,抄谁的家,也不过是一句话而已。 This no doubt makes the efficiency of settling a lawsuit greatly enhance, but is also easy to create massive miscarriages of justice. 这固然使得结案的效率大大提高,但也容易造成大量的冤假错案。 The human life is bigger than the day, the system of Great Zhou, is indeed careless. 人命大于天,大周的这项制度,的确过于草率。 He looks at Empress, said: „So grave as to affect a human life, might as well take back local official's living to common people to kill the power, cuts to decide the above ruling, needs to submit the Ministry of Justice to approve the dossier over and over, finally gives your majesty ordered by the emperor personally, issues various counties again......” 他看着女皇,说道:“人命关天,不如收回地方官员对百姓的生杀大权,斩决以上的判决,需要将卷宗呈交刑部再三核准,最终交给陛下钦定,再下发各郡……” Empress ponders the moment, the nod said: „Your proposition is very good, when palace outside the capital, goes to the secretariat to pass on Our decree, later various Great Zhou counties, the ruling of important law case homicide case, after Prefecture Yamen approves, submits the Ministry of Justice again......” 女皇思考片刻,点头道:“你的提议很好,离宫之时,去中书省传朕旨意,以后大周各县,重案命案的判决,郡衙核准之后,再递交刑部……” Li Mu said submissively: „Feudal official obeys the aim.” 李慕拱手道:“臣遵旨。” Imperceptibly, he and Empress distance, near one step. 无形中,他和女皇的距离,又近了一步。 Passes on aim matter, originally should be Shangguan Li does, she in hundred officer minds, is the Empress spokesman. 传旨这种事情,本来应该是上官离做的,她在百官心目中,就是女皇的代言人。 This way, he is away from replaces the Shangguan Li day, is not far. 再这样下去,他距离取代上官离的日子,就不远了。 Stands in front of Empress, he always felt oneself seem like has not worn the clothes to be the same, Li Mu opens the mouth to say again: „Feudal official this goes to the secretariat to pass on the aim.” 站在女皇面前,他总觉得自己像是没穿衣服一样,李慕再次开口道:“臣这就去中书省传旨。” Empress nods, said: „Goes.” 女皇点了点头,说道:“去吧。” He walked two steps, broadcasts the Empress sound, „needs Us to enjoy your several maid?” 他走了两步,身后又传来女皇的声音,“需不需要朕赏你几位侍女？” Empress really still remembers that matter, Li Mu said awkwardly: „Does not use, thanked your majesty, the feudal official asked to be excused......” 女皇果然还记得那件事情,李慕尴尬道:“还是不用了,谢陛下,臣告退……” Although Empress is the good intention, even if she enjoys Li Mu several beautiful appearance maid, Li Mu does not dare to want. 虽然女皇是好心,但就算她赏李慕几名美貌的侍女,李慕也不敢要。 Cannot use is a matter, Liu Hanyan goes home, if sees in the family/home one group of Yingying Yanyan, the vinegar jar cannot first day overturn. 用不上是一回事,柳含烟回家,要是看到家里一群莺莺燕燕的,醋坛子还不得第一天就翻掉。 So far, when Li Mu has abided is leaving, to her commitment. 到目前为止,李慕一直信守着离开之时,对她的承诺。 Comes out from the Shangyang palace, Li Mu arrives at the secretariat directly. 从上阳宫出来,李慕径直来到中书省。 Secretariat confidential place, bystander no admittance, but the entrance pavilion is long, has not actually blocked him, a while ago, he came the secretariat ratio to go home also diligently, is almost the person of half secretariat. 中书省机要之地,外人免进,但门口的亭长,却并没有拦他,前段时间,他来中书省比回家还勤快,差不多已经算是半个中书省的人。 Li Mu enters the secretariat front door, asked that pavilion long said: „Sir Liu in?” 李慕走进中书省大门,问那亭长道:“刘大人在不在？” That pavilion long swallowed a saliva, said: „In, several Sirs, lower official this called......” 那亭长咽了口唾沫,说道:“在,几位大人都在,下官这就去叫……” Present secretariat, no matter what who raised the Li Mu name, the heart and liver must tremble two to tremble. 如今的中书省,任谁提起李慕的名字,心肝都得颤两颤。 The book vice minister, current dynasty the emperor's son-in-law, the big officer, how prominent position, is less than one month, fed in sect Zhengsi Prison by him. 中书侍郎,当朝驸马,多大的官,多么显赫的地位,不到一个月,就被他送进了宗正寺大牢。 Vice minister Sir fed in sect Zhengsi by him, this is also not most fearful, what is most fearful, he starts from the imperial civil service examination, first puts sect Zhengsi with other yamun same position, with every reason, convinced several Sirs, expanded sect Zhengsi the official, then seized the chance to feed in sect Zhengsi own subordinate...... 侍郎大人被他送进宗正寺,这还不是最可怕的,最可怕的是,他从科举开始,先是将宗正寺摆在和其他官衙相同的地位,又用充分的理由,说服几位大人,扩充了宗正寺的官员,然后再趁机将自己的手下送进宗正寺…… This walks, he fights steadily, fortifying at every step, is, topples book vice minister. 这一路走来,他稳扎稳打,步步为营,为的,就是将中书侍郎拉下马。 But before then, he has not expressed to aim at the meaning of vice minister Cui slightly, even met with him, but also initiative smiles to greet with him...... 而在这之前,他没有表达出丝毫针对崔侍郎的意思,甚至与他遇到,还会主动的和他微笑打招呼…… Is this what kind of plans? 这是何等的心机？ If he has a mind to plan anyone, perhaps the opposite party is at death's door, knows why oneself die. 他若有心想要算计什么人,恐怕对方死到临头,才知道自己因何而死。 Quick, Liu Yi runs in a hurry from an alley room, asked: „Sir Li, has, has the matter?” 很快的,刘仪就从一个衙房匆匆跑出来,问道:“李大人,有,有事吗？” Li Mu said: „Your majesty makes me pass on together the instruction from superior, later various important law case homicide cases of county, after Prefecture Yamen verification, but must deliver to the Ministry of Justice to approve, finally by your majesty governing batch, you discussed that published an existing writing as soon as possible the regulation, gave the Ministry of Justice to carry out.” 李慕道:“陛下让我来传一道口谕,以后各郡发生的重案命案,郡衙审核之后,还要送到刑部核准,最后由陛下御批,你们商量一下,尽快出一个成文的细则,交给刑部落实。” Liu Yi nods, said: „Knew, this officer this discussed with several colleagues......” 刘仪点了点头,说道:“知道了,本官这就和几位同僚商议……” Li Mu waves, said: „I walked, returns sees.” 李慕挥了挥手,说道:“那我走了,回见。” Liu Yi also raised the head, said: „Sir Li said goodbye.” 刘仪同样抬起头,说道:“李大人再见。” When returns to the alley room, he relaxes long. 回到衙房中时,他才长松了口气。 Thinks these a half month, Li Mu and they discussed when the matter of imperial civil service examination, seems like that is supplying ideas for the secretariat, how actually in thinking to be being been killing the book vice minister, he is somewhat afraid. 一想到这半个多月,李慕和他们讨论科举之事时,看似在为中书省出谋划策,其实是在想着怎么弄死中书侍郎,他就有些不寒而栗。 Until now, Li Mu gives the impression of person, is very honest. 一直以来,李慕给人的印象,都十分正直。 He defies authority, does not fear heaven and earth, above the deliberation hall, spoke frankly, under deliberation hall, bravely before not having.
