Do they dare?

How dare they!

The key public prosecutors and laws still have execution capabilities that far exceed those of the current government agencies.

The decree had just been issued, and the court police and royal police were all dispatched the next day. This was really rare in the political system of the Song Dynasty, and it could even be said that it had never been seen before.

Even if the emperor gives the order, he still has to stay under Zhongshu's door for ten days and a half.

This directly caught the powerful people off guard.

Before we even had time to resist, you entered directly without even having any insurance.

It's bullying, isn't it?

The belated officials reacted immediately and ran to the political hall to inquire about the situation.

Why did the imperial court's policy become illegal?

Is there any heavenly principle?

Is there any more royal method?

"well...!"

Wen Yanbo sighed, "It's useless for you to come here to argue. In fact, the president of the court had talked to Lao Chen and Jie Fu about the matter beforehand. We all sternly refused at the time, but the imperial court still wanted to do this.

There is nothing we can do."

Wang Anshi on the side also nodded aggrievedly.

We tried our best!

"What do you mean? Do you think I, the Great Song Dynasty, have the final say now as the president of the court?"

Zhao Wenzheng immediately shouted.

Wen Yanbo shook his head and said: "That's not true. It's just a system based on the separation of politics and law. Now it's difficult for the political hall to interfere in the decision-making of the imperial court."

Jiang Zhiqi said: "But the separation of politics and law does not mean that the imperial court can do whatever it wants."

Wen Yanbo glanced at Feng Jing, the censor Zhongcheng, and Sima Guang, the minister of punishment, and asked: "Censor Zhongcheng, have you ever gone to the imperial court to inquire?"

Feng Jing and Sima Guang nodded at the same time.

Sima Guangdao: "The Chief Justice believes that he did not interfere with the policy, but that the previous system was no longer reasonable due to the promulgation of the new tax law. He once asked the Political Affairs Hall to make adjustments, but the Political Affairs Hall was unwilling, so he made an imperial decision.

The court can only issue an injunction, but how to adjust it specifically belongs to the authority of the government, but it cannot conflict with the law."

Feng Jing said nonchalantly: "According to the promulgated new tax law, it is indeed clearly stated that it is calculated based on total tax. However, what is now prohibited was previously classified as commercial tax. This... we also have

It’s hard to refute!”

Zhao Pin has been in the Public Security Bureau for so long, and he has already figured out the tricks here. If he orders changes to the system, it will be an interference in administration, but he only prohibits it, and it is only temporary. Anyway, if you don't change it, I

It's been banned forever.

There's nothing wrong with that.

At this moment, they finally realized what the true separation of politics and law was.

It's just so painful.

The officials were so angry that they were speechless.

Who asked you to talk about reason and power?

The key point was that the emperor remained silent. Regarding the war on the Western Front, the emperor only discussed it with key ministers. No one knew what the emperor was thinking.

At this moment, they really miss the public prosecutors and prosecutors who were led by Zhang Fei.

There really is no comparison, no harm.

At least Zhang Fei will sincerely take into account their interests and will not do anything absolutely, and will always leave room for them.

Unlike Zhao Pin, a "big evil guy" who has a little power but doesn't even know what his last name is.

This is simply lawless!

...

However, as before, Zhang Fei seemed to disappear at such times, keeping a very low profile, but this time it was different. A group of new people came to the Procuratorate, and they were all full of energy. Unlike before, Qi Ji, Wang Gong and the others , they are all veterans of the officialdom, and when they encounter trouble, they just want to make peace with it.

They thought it wasn't lively enough.

Now like He Zhizhong and others, when they see the imperial court and the police station, they are all so beautiful, but the procuratorate seems to be outside, and they all feel very disappointed.

Procuratorate.

In the conference room, Zhang Fei looked around at the group of hanging-headed chicks in front of him and asked with a smile: "It seems that you are all suffocated."

He Zhizhong immediately raised his head: "Prosecutor Zhang, the Imperial Court and the police station are very busy now, why do our procuratorates have nothing to do?"

Zhang Fei asked: "Then what do you want to do?"

He Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, with his head hanging down: "Students don't know..."

"Then you still ask?" Zhang Fei asked again.

"...!"

He Zhizhong lowered his head silently.

Zhang Fei asked others: "What about you? What do you think our procuratorate should do?"

Wang Hui suddenly said: "The students thought that we... we should go and monitor the royal police. Are the court police executing the orders of the royal court?"

Zhang Fei nodded and asked: "Is there any more?"

Everyone was silent.

Zhang Fei waited for a while, "Wang Hui is right, we must supervise the process of the Royal Police performing their tasks, especially this kind of law that involves many people.

But first, we need to clarify whether the imperial court's decree is legal. The duty of our procuratorate is to defend the law in accordance with the law. Anyone who violates the law is trampling on our procuratorate.

Therefore, you must investigate clearly whether those prohibited charges are illegal, and if they are all illegal, are there any omissions?"

Having said this, he glanced at Xu Zhiqian beside him.

Xu Zhiqian immediately distributed copies of the documents to He Zhizhong and the others.

He Zhizhong and others immediately picked up the copy and read it excitedly.

Zhang Fei added: "This is your latest mission. Investigate all government offices that charge people money. At the same time, you must also ask them, the court police, and the royal police whether they have bent the law for personal gain during the execution of their tasks."

At this moment, Li Si suddenly appeared in front of the door, "Third brother, Director Cai is here."

"Ask him to wait for me in the lobby."

"yes."

After Li Si left, Zhang Fei asked He Zhizhong and others: "Do you understand everything?"

"clear."

He Zhizhong and others nodded excitedly.

Zhang Fei asked again: "Then you should understand now why I am assigning tasks to you now?"

Everyone was confused again.

Zhang Fei said unhappily: "If these tasks were assigned to you from the beginning, and nothing happened at that time, what would you be investigating? Are you going to keep an eye on the royal police for enforcing the law? We are not the ones who look after the homes and nursing homes. We are the main ones of the Procuratorate.

The authority is actually to strike later. Do you understand?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Understood."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

After saying this, he and Xu Zhiqian went out.

Arriving in the lobby, Cai Jing stood up immediately. Zhang Fei quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, "Cai Jing, it's better for you to lead the students. This new group of people really pissed me off. They are all so stupid."

It seems, not very spiritual at all."

After that, he picked up the tea cup again and took a big sip.

Cai Jing said sarcastically: "My mentor has given me the reward. In fact... we often made our mentor angry at first."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while, coughed twice, put down the tea cup, "By the way, what do you want from me?"

Cai Jing said: "Master, have you heard that no one goes to the grain store to sell grain recently?"

"heard."

Zhang Fei said: "That's because everyone is full of confidence in the warehouse tax, so they are waiting for the big landowners to release the grain. Then the grain price will definitely fall."

"exactly."

Cai Jingdao: "The students thought that at this time, they should beat the loser, lower the price of grain in the grain stores, and give the people more confidence, thus making those big landowners panic. Maybe those big landowners can still hold on, but most of the main households may

If we can't hold on, once they release the grain, the big landowners won't be able to hold on for long."

Zhang Fei said: "But have you ever considered that part of the grain in the capital is transported from other places? If the price of grain is too low, it will affect grain merchants in other states and counties selling grain to the capital."

Cai Jingdao: "This student has also considered it, but the current food storage in Gyeonggi is very amazing. As long as they release food, there will definitely be no shortage of food this year. On the contrary, some places in Hebei and Huainan have insufficient food storage. We can

Those places raise grain prices to attract grain merchants. As long as grain prices and shipping costs are calculated, grain prices can be used to control the grain in the hands of grain merchants."

Zhang Fei nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "Go and tell Bachelor Wang and the Third Secretary about this plan. After all, they are not clear about your abilities yet. You need to show yourself now."

Cai Jing was overjoyed and immediately said: "Thank you very much, teacher, for your guidance. The student is very grateful."

...

The landowners were in dire straits, but the businessmen had a great time winning.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty did not emphasize agriculture and suppress business, it emphasized officials and suppressed business. The government still had very strict control over businessmen. When everything was in ruins, strict regulations were conducive to the development of business. But now, it has become
