coming!

It’s finally here!

This is really looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally Han Jiang is here.

Wei Yingfang and the others were so excited that their eyes filled with tears. Our backbone was here and we no longer had to be oppressed by the imperial court.

You must know that they have been holding back during this period. They did not go out of their way to cause harm to the public security organs, but were waiting for Han Jiang's arrival. However, they never thought that this wait... would take more than half a year!

Little did they know that Han Jiang was traveling around the mountains and rivers at public expense and visiting close friends, so he was very happy.

In short, he would never show up at Hezhong Mansion unless Yuan Jiang heard from him.

Because on the surface he was here to suppress the Public Security Bureau, but in fact he was not. If he had come earlier, he wouldn't have been able to do much, because he knew very well that not only Sima Guang but also officials were behind the Public Security Bureau, which would have been quite embarrassing.

, and also made the drama between Wang Anshi and Zhang Fei unsustainable.

After receiving Yuan Jiang's letter, he immediately rushed to Hezhong Mansion.

But Wei Yingfang and the others were kept in the dark, so they really entertained Han Jiang very warmly.

"Han Temple affairs, please come to the house!"

"please."

Entering the hall, you can see a large square table placed in the middle of the luxurious hall, but the food and wine on the table are not delicacies, but just ordinary banquets.

Han Jiang saw it and thought to herself, she knew this meal was not delicious!

"Secretary Zhuo, how do you do things? How can you entertain Han Temple officials with such ordinary food and wine? Also, why don't you even have a singing girl?"

Wei Yingfang immediately scolded Zhuo Qun and looked around. Not to mention the singing prostitutes, there was not even a maidservant in sight.

You must know that this standard banquet in the Song Dynasty must be accompanied by singing girls, because the literati in the Song Dynasty, whether loyal or traitor, were very good at writing about beauties, and a banquet would not be complete without beauties. Of course, such "perverted" level as Sima Guang and Wang Anshi

Self-discipline is naturally outside the scope of discussion.

Zhuo Qun said aggrievedly: "The Minister's Court has only allocated so much money, and even my subordinates...!"

"That's unreasonable. I'll go find them."

"Hey! Wei Tong, please stay."

Han Jiang hurriedly stopped Wei Yingfang and said, "The finances are not good and life is difficult for everyone. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Please sit down."

He had eaten all kinds of delicacies in Luoyang and other places, and now he just wanted to eat something light.

"Hansi please ask in advance."

Cai Yanqing said quickly, pretending to avoid the topic.

But how is this possible? After holding this resentment for so long, Wei Yingfang took advantage of it to complain: "Han Temple affairs, our Hezhong Mansion is not like this originally. No matter how difficult the finances are, the money for this banquet is still

It can be seen that it is all the fault of the Public Prosecution and Procuratorate. No matter what our government does, the Procuratorate comes to check the accounts. As a result, all officials, big and small, are frightened. Even if they are asked to allocate a penny, they have to hesitate for a long time, which angers many people from the capital.

The envoy is very dissatisfied and hopes that when Hansi returns to Beijing, he can help us explain it."

When Yuan Jiang heard this, she immediately became happy. This is a good thing. We will follow this standard next time.

Like Sima Guang, he is also a frugal person.

In fact, the Procuratorate really didn't investigate this matter. It's just that the last military pay lawsuit involved the expenses of the Legation, which made the Legation dare not spend too much. But it doesn't mean that it doesn't dare to overspend on a meal, but you are all like this.

Having said that, it is better to ask the procuratorate to investigate and settle the matter, so as to avoid the procuratorate being stigmatized.

It seemed that they were really holding it back. I didn't even take a sip of water before they began to complain. Han Jiang secretly smiled bitterly, suddenly glanced at Yuan Jiang and Cai Yanqing, and said: "Brother Hou, Cai Zhongyuan, you guys

What are you doing these days? Why are you in such a mess that you can’t even issue government orders?"

Yuan Jiang immediately said: "This has nothing to do with Zhong Yuan. It's all my Yuan Jiang's fault. Alas... But I can't help it. I didn't know that the imperial court can control everything."

"Don't the Public Security Bureau only deal with the administration of justice?" Han Jiang asked with a frown.

"Ouch!"

He Chunlin was waiting for these words and quickly said: "Don't listen to others when it comes to Han Temple. The public prosecutor and the procuratorate are not just responsible for the administration of justice. Even our government and businessmen cooperate with each other. They have to come and investigate. In the past six months, we officials have

We are on pins and needles, not daring to do anything. After all, we don’t understand the legal system, and the imperial court still has the power of judicial interpretation.”

"What exactly is going on?"

Han Jiang pretended to be confused and said: "Tell me why the imperial court rejected the government's ban in the first place."

Cai Yanqing took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Han Temple is busy with travel and travel, why don't we eat first and talk about it tomorrow."

"Speak now."

Han Jiang frowned and said, "I won't be able to eat it unless you explain it clearly."

Wei Yingfang and the others were overjoyed, they were just waiting for your words! Immediately, they started talking in Han Jiang's ears, adding fuel to the fire.

boom!

After hearing this, Han Jiang became furious and slammed the table, "This is really unreasonable. They are really bullying people."

With that said, he turned to Wei Yingfang and others, "You guys really have no future at all, why bother with the imperial court."

Yuan Jiang said: "We don't want to pay attention to it, but the problem is that the people believe in the public prosecutor and the law, and they are more willing to listen to the public prosecutor and the law. What can we do?"

"Brother Hou, you...!"

Han Jiang said: "What should I say to you? If you follow the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and law, you are certainly no match for them. The court stipulates that administration and judiciary do not interfere with each other. Isn't this difficult to understand?"

Yuan Jiang cupped her hands and said, "I hope Han Temple can give me some advice."

"Do you still need my guidance?"

Han Jiang was so angry that she shook her head, "Let's talk about this ban and this lawsuit. Why did you issue this ban? Isn't this just to make people's mouths know? Isn't this just giving the public security organs an opportunity to take advantage of you? You just go to the countryside to lend money to young people.

I want to see who dares to openly oppose the government."

When it came to the latter part, he was shocked and very domineering.

Wei Yingfang cried with aggrieved face: "But those big landowners rely on the public prosecutor and the law to make decisions for them. They are confident."

"The Public Security Bureau only deals with the administration of justice. Can they control the liquor tax? Can they control the police? Can they control the privileges? Can they control water conservancy? With so many means at the hands of the government, why can't you use them! The main ones in those lands are public

If they go against the imperial court, our government can make his fields deprived of a drop of water. The government can deprive them of their right to make wine. The government does not need to explain this kind of thing, how can the public security organs and law handle it." Han Jiang was full of words and expressions.

Foaming at the mouth.

Officials like Wei Yingfang are all veterans. How could they not use these methods? Otherwise, how could they control those big landowners? Just because they colluded with those big landowners to deliberately provoke a conflict between the new law and the public prosecutor.

Of course they won’t use it!

He Chunlin said: "But the procuratorate can investigate."

"Then it depends on whether you are smart enough."

Han Jiang said: "When this canal changes course, there will be winners and losers. What can the procuratorate find?"

Wei Yingfang said: "Then...that means the procuratorate still has the power to investigate?"

Han Jiang glanced at him and sighed: "I finally understand where you lost. You were trying to drive away the police, procuratorate, and law!"

So straightforward?

Wei Yingfang and the others did not dare to talk to him.

Han Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "This is a decision made by the officials and everyone involved in political affairs. You and I can't change it. It's really wishful thinking. If you always think about attacking the judicial power of the Public Security Bureau, you will definitely be defeated again and again.

, because this power is in their hands, can you fight it? But in fact, the power of the government is definitely greater than that of the public prosecutor and the law.

Before I came here, I was still wondering what was going on and why the government was being suppressed by the public prosecutors and the law. It turns out you...!"

He sighed angrily.

Yuan Jiang immediately said: "Since this is what we are talking about, Yuan will just say it bluntly. There is no room for two tigers in this mountain. They are watching everywhere and making people panic. How can we do anything?"

Wei Yingfang and the others also nodded repeatedly.

Han Jiang said depressedly: "But you can't use brute force, it will only be counterproductive."

Wei Yingfang immediately said: "I hope Han Temple can give me some advice."

"Didn't I make it clear enough just now?" Han Jiang said: "As long as the government uses its power well, the public prosecutor and law are just our servants. The public prosecutor and law can stop your ban, but can they stop the Youth Law? The public prosecutor and law can let you

Compensate military pay, but it cannot prohibit us from lowering military pay.

The Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate can only prohibit what we do, but they cannot prohibit our power. We still have the final say on how much tax we collect and how much salt debt we issue.

If he doesn't allow us to do this, then let's do it that way. There is only one way to achieve our goal. But as long as the public security organs and laws cannot prohibit it, then they will have to protect our policy. If it offends others, we can still hand it over.

Leave it to the public prosecutor and the procuratorate to deal with it, they are just a group of servants.

But the current situation is that he doesn’t allow you to do this, so you have to do it, and this lawsuit can’t be fought. Aren’t you just sending it to someone else’s door? But as long as you use the power of the government well, people’s hearts will definitely turn towards us.

, because every common person has to rely on the government's policies to make a living. Relying on the public security, prosecution and law can only ensure that you are not bullied, but whether you can eat or not, you still have to rely on the government's policies."

After these words, all the officials felt like they were waking up from a dream. They had a new understanding of the separation of politics and law. Looking back on everything they had done before, they really regretted it.

Was it a power struggle at the beginning?

shallow!
