Chapter 233 Yunwei vs Second Prince

County magistrate Guo saw a prince, a prince. Today, the tomb of the Guo family ancestors is really smoking.

Why don't you pay homage to your ancestors first after the trial?
He is a seven-rank county magistrate who has no qualifications to go to the court. When he went to the Ministry of Officials to listen to his dispatch, he could not even see the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The person with the highest title he had ever seen before was Cheng Guogong.

Although King Jing often went to and from the Yun Mansion, traveling between Shenjing City and Wanping County, County Magistrate Guo stared at the Yun Mansion and couldn't find an excuse to visit His Highness Prince Jing.

What's more, Prince Jing was crowned king early, and he has become more cold towards courtiers recently, silent and arrogant, but there is light in his eyes.

Prince Jing never wooed any officials, he treated everyone the same way, didn't know each other, didn't make friends with them, and didn't like them.

When the second prince was standing with Prince Jing, County Magistrate Guo felt that Prince Jing was more handsome and handsome.

The second prince's overly serious Chinese character face and slightly dark complexion are not as refined and dignified as King Jing.

County Magistrate Guo hurriedly got up and bowed in salute: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Jing and the Second Prince."

Although the second prince is the eldest, there is nothing wrong with addressing them in order of title.

County magistrate Guo knew that the second prince was good at the law, and he was upright and well-behaved. He called them according to their titles, and the second prince would definitely be right.

Even if the probability of the Second Prince becoming the Crown Prince - County Magistrate Guo thinks it is no higher than that of King Jing who has already been crowned king.

The second prince's collar was neatly buttoned, and there was a clear Sichuan character between his eyebrows, and he said: "Guo county magistrate does not need to be too polite. He sued for kidnapping and trafficking children, and came here to listen to the case, hoping to improve the law."

The implication is that the second prince is here to do serious business, not for Yunwei. On the contrary, the Prince Jing who came with him has a bit of affection and has no business.

"Master Guo only handles the case and does not need to take care of His Highness and Ah Yang."

The second prince was very calm and rigorous when facing Mu Yang, "You are my brother, I can't see you make mistakes, Miss Yun should have been punished for beating the grievance drum—"

"Second Highness, my younger brother and I are also one of the plaintiffs. Sister Wei can speak eloquently, and our brothers are clumsy in speech. When we see an official, we become soft-legged shrimps. We can't speak clearly—cough cough—."

Wang Daxiong knelt up straight, cowered timidly, his face was pale, and he was about to faint at any time.

The tacit understanding between Wang Erxiong and his elder brother is almost in sync, except for a twitch, a pair of young men who are not good at talking.

"That's why we took the board and asked Sister Wei to report the case. County magistrate Guo didn't see it as favoritism for the prince's sake."

"No favoritism?!"

The second prince was a little displeased, and said in a calm tone: "The emperor set up the drum for grievances to provide a way out for the people's grievances, and he was afraid that the people would treat the drum for grievances as a joke, so he ordered that anyone who beat the drum for grievances should be tortured with a stick. Tell the common people not to beat the drum of grievances unless there is a big grievance, wasting the time of court officials."

"Just now, His Highness didn't see how the guards hit you. Seeing the two of you alive and well, it's obvious that the guards are watching—"

"My father gave the guard money!"

Wang Daxiong thought in his heart that the second prince came to find fault, not against them, but against Prince Jing.

Prince Jing is really pitiful, this brother is stepping on Prince Jing to make a name for himself, which further highlights that the second prince is just and upright, adheres to the truth of the law, understands the grievances of the people, and even has the effect of showing favor to court officials.

After all, suing officials is always a taboo in officialdom.

Don't give a profound lesson to the people who intend to sue officials, how to maintain the dignity of officials and their status higher than that of ordinary people.

The second prince said he was here to listen, but he always felt that Yun Wei was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Mrs. Jiang has nothing to do with child trafficking. I never heard that the peasant woman's daughter was kidnapped and raised by the Earl's Mansion as a daughter.

Isn't it because of Ah Yang's power to act recklessly?

Wang Daxiong said embarrassingly: "My father secretly gave money to the guards because he was afraid that I would suffer. If His Royal Highness the Second Prince is dissatisfied, he can beat our brother again. This time, we will be able to stand it hard."

The second prince's eyes sank slightly, and he flicked his fingers, "The official servants actually accepted the banknotes? They practiced favoritism, and the father hated corruption and accepting bribes the most. Is this okay? How should the county magistrate Guo judge the servants according to the law?"

County magistrate Guo's head was as big as a bucket, and big beads of sweat rolled down. He missed being a puppet tool just now.

Yun Wei raised her head and said: "Since His Royal Highness the Second Prince admits that this is a virtuous government, it is clear that the Emperor is like the parents of the common people. He cannot bear the fact that his children are protected by the officials and have no place to redress their grievances, so he set up the Drum of Wrath."

"Just now His Highness said that this is also a warning—"

"Yes, I understand what His Royal Highness the Second Prince said." Yun Wei replied in a cold voice, "Since the Emperor Dezheng is unwilling to take the lives of the people, he will be severely punished according to the Second Prince's wishes, and several people will complain. Can the people live?

What's more, the servants who execute the court staff should have a benevolent heart, sympathize with those who complain, and leave them a way to survive to complain about their grievances. What's wrong with this?

If the person who complained was beaten to death, who would dare to complain?The original intention of the emperor to set up the Drum of Injustice has become a dead letter, but it has aggravated the people's distrust of officials.

If you don’t file a complaint, you can barely survive. If you file a complaint, you may die, or you will be beaten to a half-mutilation, and you will lose your labor force. "

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is fair and honest, do you think this is still a virtuous government?"

Second Prince: "..."

Yun Wei took two steps forward, standing in front of Mu Yang, her fair face was like white porcelain, so white that it could shine, her eyes were clear and bright, with folds shining brightly.

The second prince was stunned for a moment. Normally, once the second prince spoke, even important court officials would not dare to speak back.

Generally speaking, he is on the side of reason.

"Your Highness, Second Prince, don't forget that torture harms the country. The combination of morality and law is the kingly way. Laws are formulated to restrain the people from doing evil, and to punish evil and promote good. It is not a dogma to use the law to torture."

Yun Wei would not let Mu Yang confront the second prince, let alone involve Mu Yang in her own troubles. The second prince is obviously a disciple of the Fa school.

"The example of Qin II's death, I hope His Royal Highness the Second Prince will remember it in his heart." Yun Wei stabbed the Second Prince.

The second prince hesitated, "Why didn't you mention that Qin's heavy punishment law will eventually unify the six countries?!"

Yunwei raised the corners of her lips, cupped her hands incomparably in the direction of the imperial palace, and said, "So Emperor Shenwu ended the troubled times and ruled the world, and created the Tianmu Dynasty with a territory comparable to the Great Qin Empire.

The emperor can stand shoulder to shoulder with the first emperor, and the second highness—"

Yun Wei showed a look of embarrassment, she seemed to be unable to bear the words, the Second Prince would feel more uncomfortable not to say it than to say it!

Wouldn't the second prince become the second emperor of Qin, Hu Hai?

"It's best not to use torture laws if you don't have the breasts of the first emperor!

Qin died in tyranny, not because of the first emperor. When the first emperor was alive, the nobles of the six kingdoms were honest. "

"The principle of law is nothing more than human feelings. It is better for a servant to have a benevolent heart than a cruel official. The great harmony of the world mentioned in the Tao of Confucius and Mencius emphasizes the kindness and morality of the people."

How could Yunwei let the guard and county magistrate Guo, who was lenient, become the second prince's punching bag?
"The guard gave my two elder brothers a slack, not because he had received the bank notes. The elder brother had told my uncle a long time ago that all the bank notes would be donated to be used as military funds for His Highness the First Prince's expedition. After all, despite their status Humble, never forget to serve the country."

Yun Wei cleared her throat, and continued: "After the drum for grievances was sounded, the guards will hold the court stick to the complainant. If the complainant is just entertaining the officials, it is a trivial matter in the mouth of the second prince. The guard should give them a warning and let them understand. Your Majesty cannot be bullied, but once the complainant has suffered serious grievances, a little favoritism by the guards will allow the complainant to express his grievances smoothly."

The guard, who was so frightened, straightened his back again, with a solemn face, as if he was a man of righteousness who was loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

As for whether the banknotes should be donated - donating is also very good, anyway, it will not be a disadvantage to follow Miss Yun to do business.

When they go out to collect 'protection fees' in the future, the people will not always scold them behind their backs.

The second prince's mind is a little messed up, why did it become like this?
Guo County Magistrate stood with his hands down, and secretly said, "You deserve it!"

Originally, there was nothing about the second prince, but if the words of today spread—Magistrate Guo caught sight of the people at the gate of the yamen from the corner of his eye, and it would definitely spread.

It's a big blow to the second prince, the emperor is not afraid of the death of the second prince, so he will use the second prince who insists on the law!
Although Yun Wei purposely said that the second prince is definitely not a fool like Hu Hai, but I am afraid that the emperor will not think so, after all the emperor believes that the son he loves the most is always the first prince.
