Zhang Fei frowned and asked: "Does Grand Scholar Sima want to deal with his benefactor?"

Xu Zun waved his hand: "No, no, although I do not agree with Bachelor Sima's ideas, he will not be so stingy. He invited me today in the hope of reforming the current judiciary."

"reform?"

Xu Zhiqian looked at Xu Zun in surprise.

At present, everyone is talking about Wang Anshi's reform, but I never thought that Sima Guang would also reform.

This is really unexpected.

Xu Zun laughed and said: "Sima Junshi and Wang Jiefu were not convinced by each other. Now that Wang Jiefu wants to reform, how can Sima Junshi fall behind him? In fact, this is good, so as to avoid them quarreling again."

As expected of Sima Guang, this move is really awesome! I can’t wait to give you a thumbs up. Zhang Fei couldn’t help but be secretly happy.

Xu Zun suddenly glanced at Zhang Fei and asked, "Zhang San, what do you think about this aspect?"

I guess Sima Guang also guessed that Xu Zun would come and ask me. If that's the case, why don't I just go with the flow? Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "After these few lawsuits, from a personal perspective, I feel quite embarrassed.

."

"Excuse me?"

Xu Zun and his daughter said in unison.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "My benefactor also knows how much everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion hates me."

Before Xu Zun could speak, Xu Zhiqian said: "They have the salary but don't want to work. They have the nerve to blame others. It's really unreasonable."

Xu Zun waved his hands and said: "Prefect Lu is definitely not such a person."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "What my benefactor said is absolutely true. The main affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture are the people's livelihood and finance of the prefecture. As for the trial, it is only secondary.

And my frequent complaints force the Kaifeng Prefecture to devote too much energy to the lawsuit, which may put the cart before the horse. After all, a lawsuit can only redress the grievances of one person, and a policy mistake will bring disaster to the people of the entire prefecture.

"

Xu Zhiqian asked: "You mean to separate the two?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "It's not two, it's four."

"Four?"

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "What four?"

Zhang Fei said: "Administration, justice, trial, and prosecution. Take Kaifeng Prefecture as an example. Kaifeng Prefecture is only responsible for administration, finance, people's livelihood, and water conservancy construction.

Among them, the county magistrate is the main one, and there is also a judicial department, which is responsible for maintaining public security and conducting interrogations. However, the final trials are all handed over to the judicial yamen such as the Siliyuan. However, there must be a department in the middle that is responsible for supervision.

, prosecution.

The key point is that these four yamen are not subordinate to each other. In this case, these four departments can play a role in mutual supervision. At the very least, if the prefect breaks the law, he will be prosecuted."

Xu Zun nodded repeatedly and was very happy.

In terms of legal system construction alone, the Northern Song Dynasty should be regarded as the pinnacle of feudalism. Neither the Han, Tang, nor the Ming and Qing Dynasties were as complete as the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is because Zhao Kuangyin himself attaches great importance to punishment and prison, and coupled with the Northern Song Dynasty's idea of ​​dividing powers, various judicial departments have checks and balances on each other, which is a good thing for judicial construction.

Xu Zun was able to quickly understand the beauty of this public prosecutor's law, "What you said makes sense, but if you do this, will it make the entire trial process more complicated and require more funds?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It will only be simpler, not more complicated."

Xu Zun said: "How do you say this?"

Zhang Fei said: "Not every prefect is as familiar with the law as the benefactor. Once you encounter some officials who don't know the law well, the lawsuit will become complicated.

Once you get used to having specialized officials handle specialized matters, many cases can be heard quickly, which actually makes it easier.

As for the funding issue, I can’t help, but I believe Grand Master Sima has his own way to solve it.”

Xu Zun nodded slightly.

Xu Zhiqian, who had been facing Zhang Fei day and night, saw that this guy was talking about it again, so she said, "Since you had an idea, why didn't you tell my father before?"

This judicial structure, even if it is a genius, cannot be a sudden idea, it must have been thought of long ago.

Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I said it at the beginning, my benefactor would be unable to do anything."

Xu Zun chuckled and said: "Your greatest skill is not to argue in court, but to know what words to say at the right time to be most useful."

"Isn't this the method of a person with a sharp ear?"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "But if my benefactor wants to discuss this reform plan with Grand Master Sima, don't say it's my fault."

Xu Zun asked: "Why?"

Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "Because many ministers in the court are dissatisfied with me. If you know that I am responsible for this, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble and it will be self-defeating."
