Chapter 267 Court Discussion, Water Conservancy Case and Legislative Dispute
Shi Xie was very happy about Wei Xiang's arrival.
Wei Xiang was very surprised about Shi Xie's existence: "You are a great Siqing, why don't you stay in the fiefdom every day and learn how to manage the fiefdom, but you wander around in the capital of Jiangdu?"
Shi Xie spat and said, "What do you know? The key is that our Shishi has more talents. The key lies in the overall situation in Jiangdu."
Wei Xiang pondered for a while and nodded, "I understand, it means that you Shishi has more to protect yourself but lacks allies. You, Siqing, need to do more activities in Jiangdu to win more allies."
Shi Xie looked at Wei Xiang: "Do you know that people who find out the truth after everything are very annoying."
Wei Xiang smiled and said, "Just be yourself. If you have to consider what others will do before doing anything, don't you feel very tired?"
"That is the truly polite and elegant person!"
"That's a beast wearing a mask."
After the two of them quarreled, the familiar feeling came back and looked at each other and laughed.
On the other hand, the Scholars had already got off the carriage and climbed the hall step by step along the steps.
Today, the Jin court discussed that the six ministers gathered together, and the king of Jin, Hou Jiji, sat on his head, with a cold face.
As the Shangqing, Lin's father spoke with a serious expression: "Since I have been trusted by Junhou and my colleagues and became the Shangqing, I have always wanted to sort out the government affairs again so that I can no longer regain the expectations of Junhou and the thousands of people of the Great Jin Dynasty. However, I have recently discovered that in this sorting process, there are always people who are deliberately confronting Junhou and the policies formulated by the Great Jin Dynasty. This is not good, very bad."
First, he said, "I wonder if Zhongxing Bo can talk about it in detail?"
Lin's father from the Bank of China said: "As for the water control project that had been in the past few days, the water had already exploded during the spring flood, causing nearly two hundred miles of land upstream and downstream to be flooded. After my investigation, I found that the officials in charge of water conservancy were too corrupt, which led to the blockage of many water diversion channels built on both sides of the water before the Jin Dynasty, and eventually led to this situation. But the water flood had not been one or two years, but something that happened every year. Why was it flooded before but this year? This matter must be investigated strictly. If anyone's responsibility is found, I will punish it to the end and will never tolerate it! What do you think?"
It sounds like this is a very simple investigation case for water conservancy projects, but in the ears of the officials in the hall, some people began to change their faces, especially the above military assistant Luan Dun.
As one of the four nobles, Luan Dun is now in charge of engineering. This time the water burrowing dam is exactly the responsibility of Luan Dun's rule.
Zhao Shuo coughed and said, "Zhongxing Bo said it well. It is necessary to hold the responsibility accountable. But the question is, who should be held responsible?"
Lin's father from the Central Bank narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you say about Zhao Meng?"
Zhao Shuo said lightly: "The Bank of China has just performed its duties, and the order of the Six Lords has just been rearranged. Luan Bo has also just performed its duties and taken charge of the project. This matter obviously cannot be investigated on Luan Bo."
Zhao Shuo's words immediately annoyed Xiankun.
Before Luan Dun, it was Xiankun who was in charge of the project. Isn’t this equivalent to saying that Xiankun is the biggest responsible person?
Xiangu said coldly: "Whoever has any accident during his term of office is to hold who is responsible. How can he use this year's sword to kill the officials from last year? Besides, the water conservancy projects on both sides of the river were not built last year. Should we continue to trace back to the year of construction and to hold those officials who built the water conservancy projects accountable?"
The two sides argued for a moment and headed south.
After a while, Lin's father from the Bank of China coughed, looked at Ji Ju, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thought it would be better to send officials to investigate first, and then decide who is responsible based on the actual situation. How about it?"
Ji Ju pondered for a moment and nodded, "Just as Zhong Xingbo said."
This issue comes to an end.
The next issue was initiated by the Scholars, and the Scholars said, "Your Majesty, recently a doctor in the Jin Dynasty promulgated a written law, which attracted a lot of discussion. Although this person's actions are quite a bit ignorant and fearless, it reminded the old ministers. The law used in the Scholars of the Great Jin Dynasty was formulated by Zhao Xuanzi gathered the power of the ministers fifteen years ago. It is time to innovate. I wonder what your husband Majesty thinks?"
As the scholar finished speaking, the ministers' faces were different.
Ji Ju coughed and said, "You are here to discuss it. This marquis shall prevail with your resolutions."
Even if Ji Ju thought about this kind of thing for a long time, he would definitely not be the first to go into battle at this time.
Zhao Shuo said lightly: "The method formulated by my father is quite complete, and I don't think there is any need for any changes."
Lin's father of the Central Bank spoke almost immediately: "The law should keep pace with the times. Duke Xian, Duke Wen, Duke Xiang, and Duke Ling all had established laws. Now, there should be also established laws when you are about to ascend the throne."
Luan Dun took a deep breath and said, "I don't think Xuanzi's method needs to be changed."
Xian Gu smiled and said, "Although Wei Xiang is a brainless thing, it is indeed natural to formulate a new law."
Everyone's eyes turned to the last Xike who had not expressed his opinion.
Xi Ke looked dizzy and said at the end: "The law of Xuanzi is not necessary to be changed."
Three to three, the votes among the Six Lords reached a draw.
But this time, this draw is not a real draw.
Among the six ministers, the ones who supported the practice of the law were Lin's father, the middle ministers and the first of the four great ministers, and the three nobles who opposed the practice of the law were the three nobles, who ranked fourth, fifth and sixth among the six ministers.
Ji Ju let out a long sigh and said, "I also think that the practice of the law must be practiced, but the framework is naturally based on Zhao Xuanzi's method. It only needs to modify some inappropriate terms. What do you think?"
No one objected, even Zhao Shuo.
Ji Ju smiled.
Since ascending the throne, this is the first time that Ji Ju made a judgment on a matter that the six ministers had a dispute with him as the position of Junhou, and was approved.
This is undoubtedly a very great success for Ji Ji.
So Ji Ju looked at the Shihui and smiled and said, "Since this matter was proposed by Shibo, please ask Shibo to take the lead in the practice of the Dharma."
The scholar stood up and bowed to Ji Ju, saying, "Thank you, Lord. I have another suggestion. If you talk about etiquette and law, there is naturally no one in the world who is in charge of the emperor. The old minister dared to go to Luoyi and formulate a law that truly conforms to the Great Jin Dynasty in accordance with the laws of the emperor. I wonder what the Lord thinks?"
Ji Ju laughed and said, "What Shibo said is good!"
Half an hour later, the Shihui appeared in front of Wei Xiang and Shi Xie.
