Tingwei, one of the nine ministers, is in charge of criminal law and prison litigation, revising laws, summarizing the number of prisons across the country, and is responsible for issuing prison edicts; if a minister commits a crime, he will directly try and imprison him.
The Wei and Jin Dynasties followed the Han system, and the central judicial authority was still Tingwei (1). Tingwei Mansion is located in the southwest corner of the imperial city. Turn left after entering Xihua Gate.
Tingwei Xunshi, Tingwei Mansion, had four subordinate officials: Tingweizheng, in charge of suspect prisons; Tingweijian, in charge of arrests; Tingweiping, in charge of imperial edict prisons; and Dr. Lu, who taught legal regulations. The officials include Ting Wei Shi, Zuo Jie (trial case), Zuo Cao, etc.
Tingwei's Mansion is very quiet, and there are not many cases to be tried. The latest case is the rebellion case of Wang Yian in June last year.
As for the imperial edict, there was no such thing. The emperor was stupid, Prince Kuaiji and his son controlled the government, Wang Xun, Xie Yan and others kept silent, Che Yin, Jiang Ji and others could only talk about matters. As long as they did not touch the fundamentals, Sima Daozi still Very tolerant.
In Xunshi's view, there were no major events in the world, the court was peaceful, and the court officials were naturally relaxed.
The Tingwei Mansion's daily task is to check and review the cases reported from various states, and to detect wrong judgments, omissions, and unjust, false and wrong cases. Tingwei Zhengsun Bin is responsible for this matter.
Sun Bin is a descendant of the Sun family in Zhongdu, Taiyuan. His grandfather, Sun Shengguan, became the prefect of Changsha, and was granted the title of Marquis of Wuchang County.
Relying on his grandfather's help, Sun Bin was selected as an official in Zhongshu Shengtongshi at the age of twenty-six. After more than ten years of experience, he was still a sixth-rank Tingweizheng. The official career was difficult, which made Sun Bin resentful and wished he was born into Wang Xie's family.
Sun Bin was conceited and had learned a lot. When he was young, he was aloof and refused to flatter others. When he was nearly 40 years old, he became anxious and hooked up with Jianwu General Wang Xu, hoping to capture Zuo Pu She Guobao.
Unexpectedly, Wang Guobao was sentenced to death before he had served Zuo Pushe for half a year, and Sun Bin was almost killed as one of Wang Guobao's accomplices. Fortunately, King Qiao Sima Shangzi persuaded King Kuaiji that "the prison should not be wide-spread", so he was not implicated.
Flattery also has risks. After this incident, Sun Bin became a little disheartened and no longer enthusiastic about fame. Every day, Mao was ordered on time, and after leaving the office, he invited his colleagues to have fun on the Qinhuai River. Fortunately, he had some assets at home, so he didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
Naturally, Sun Bin does not need to do it himself to check the case files. He has eight prosecutors under him, and only suspicious cases will be reported to him.
Sunlight streamed in from the east window and fell on the table. Sun Bin slowly sipped tea and admired the lyrics he had just written. Last time, the smiling lady of Biyun Pavilion asked her to write a poem for her, and tonight she will Send it.
I have been to most of the prostitute houses along the Qinhuai River, and the girls in Shenghuaju are the best, but the prices are too expensive, and I don’t dare to go there often because of my wealth. Speaking of which, Biyun Pavilion is better. The smiling lady has good looks, and her waist is as soft as a willow swinging in the wind.
Sun Bin stroked his beard with a charming smile on his face. Nowadays, new lyrics are popular among prostitutes, and poetry is not as good as lyrics and music. The world is really declining.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Supervisor Wu Zhen came in with several files. Sun Bin sat up straight, suppressed his smile, and grimaced.
Wu Zhen respectfully saluted Sun Bin and then placed the file on the case. This Sun Yan is just a villain. The last time his colleague Zhao Chong saluted casually, he was angrily scolded by him. Wu Zhen didn't want to get into trouble.
"Sun Yanzheng, the sentences in these two cases are too light, take a look." Wu Zhen presented the case file and said. qδ
Sun Bin looked through it absently and asked, "What should I do with it in your opinion?"
Wu Zhen secretly thought that this Sun Tingzheng only knew one sentence. After he finished his analysis, he would say the next sentence, "Yes, I will do as you said." Privately, Wu Zhen and his colleagues called this Sun Tingzheng "two Ju Tingzheng."
Sure enough, after Wu Zhen finished speaking, Sun Bin stroked his beard and pretended to think for a while, then said: "Return the case as you said and let them retry and report."
Wu Zhen said yes. Picking up the case file, Sun Bin saw that there was still a file left on the case. He frowned and said, "Why don't you report it together?"
"Sun Tingzheng, this is a document submitted by the Yuzhou Prefecture to the gentry of Runan County to sue Runan County Sima and Chief Secretary Yang Anxuan for not obeying the law, abusing punishment, and causing unjust imprisonment."
"Yang Anxuan?" Sun Bin picked up the case file and looked through it, asking, "Is it the Yang Anxuan who wrote the new lyrics?"
"Exactly, Yang Anxuan led the Beifu army to rescue Luoyang City, defeated the Qin army, and was promoted to the head of Runan County and Sima for his merits." Wu Zhen said excitedly.
As a Jin person, Luoyang won a great victory and was honored.
Sun Bin felt inexplicably irritable and shouted coldly: "Talk too much."
Wu Zhen lowered his head and did not dare to say any more.
The complaint was jointly filed by several gentry families including the Bai family of Yang'an in Ruyang County, the Xu family of Wufang, and the Bao family of Yichun. The complaint listed ten crimes against Yang Anxuan.
Wu Zhen reported softly: "Master Yang is the court official, and Sun Tingzheng needs to make the decision on this matter."
Sun Bin was very jealous of this young man who was twenty years younger than himself and whose official position and reputation were above his own. He often belittled Yang Anxuan when he got together with his colleagues.
Looking at this submission, Sun Bin showed excitement on his face and said: "I have long heard that Yang Anxuan is proud of his talent and competitive. Look, after arriving in Runan for only a month, so many things happened. The young man was proud. This is unavoidable and rampant, this matter is not trivial, I want to report it to Lieutenant Xun Ting quickly."
Sun Bin excitedly stood up and took the petition to the imperial palace. Yang Anxuan's great victory in Luoyang was known to the people of the world. If he could convict him according to law, he would be known to the world as well. Fang Xi's desire for fame was beating in his chest again.
In the official residence of Tingwei, Xunshi was drinking tea. When he saw Sun Bin coming in, he smiled and said: "Sun Tingzheng, you are here just in time. Come and try the Yunwu tea that I have newly brewed. This tea is green and bright in color, has a long-lasting fragrance, and is mellow and sweet." , according to me, it is three points better than Bichun Tea."
Sun Bin didn't want to drink tea, so he handed over the petition in his hand and said: "Mr.
Xunshi was stunned for a moment, then took the form and motioned for Sun Bin to sit aside. He unfolded the form and took a closer look. The more he looked at it, the tighter his frown became. After reading it, his brows became knotted.
Because of Wang Yi, Xunshi gained Sima Yuanxian's favor, followed the prince in and out of the Kuaiji palace, and fell in love with Sima Daozi. The king of Kuaiji gathered his ministers to listen to music and drink wine, and Xun Shi was often a guest.
Xunshi had been an official in Beijing for a long time, and unexpectedly he was appointed governor. In the first month of the first month, he went to the Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and gave him a few treasures. He was promised to go when the governor was vacant.
Yang Anxuan is the favorite of the King of Kuaiji, and he has just defeated the Qin army in Luoyang. If he targets Yang Anxuan at this moment, will he make the King of Kuaiji angry and disrupt his own good?
Putting down the form, Xunshi thought silently.
Sun Lin didn't know what Xun Shi was thinking, and said angrily: "This Yang Anxuan is arrogant and lawless. The minister's crimes should be tried and imprisoned by Tingwei. Please order Xun Tingwei to send Yanwei Supervisor Pan Guang to Runan County to arrest and imprison him." , Revitalize the prestige of Tingwei."
Xun Shi stroked his beard slowly and said: "Sun Lin, you can't just listen to one side of the story. Whether Yang Anxuan is guilty or not should not be decided by the Tingwei. You will forward this letter to the Yushitai and ask the Yushitai to impeach Yang Anxuan. It won’t be too late to deal with it after the court issues an order.”
Yushitai? Xun Tingwei didn't want to get into trouble, so Sun Lin was poured cold water on her head. She calmly picked up the tea and took a sip. The delicate fragrance left a bitter taste in her mouth.
"Dong dong dong dong", suddenly the drum beat loudly, Deng heard the drum sound.
Xunshi spilled the tea in his hand, stood up and shouted loudly: "Come here, who is beating the Dengwen drum (2)?"
Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, set up a Dengwen Drum in front of the Tingwei Mansion and ordered, "If the people have grievances, they can directly complain through the Lao Dengwen Drum." However, ordinary people would not dare to go to Tingwei Mansion to beat the drum. Since the Dengwen Drum was established, It hasn't been knocked a few times. Xunshi has been serving as Tingwei for six years, but the drum has never sounded.
After a while, a clerk rushed in and reported out of breath: "Dong Dan, a native of Dingying in Runan, beats the drum to avenge his father, Dong Lin."
Runan Dingying, Sun Lin's eyes were bright, it seemed that she was still suing Yang Anxuan. How many people did Yang Anxuan offend after arriving in Runan County. Glancing at the furious Xun Tingwei, Sun Bin thought to himself, he can't shirk it now.
When he heard the sound of drums, he could not resist. Xunshi was seated in the hall, and an official brought Dong Dan to the front of the hall.
Dong Dan wore a white crown and coarse linen mourning clothes. He looked haggard but behaved calmly. He bowed to Xunshi.
There is a set of procedures for investigating cases in prison. Dong Dan defended his father, Dong Lin, on the grounds that according to the law, "In prison, family members must resign" (3). His father only acted for Dingying County magistrate Zushi and the chief clerk. Ren Zhi took the blame but did not commit a crime. He asked Tingwei to clear up the confusion and clear his father's name.
Knowing that Dong Lin was a descendant of the great Confucian Dong Jingdao, Xun Shi did not dare to neglect, and agreed to report to the emperor and temporarily imprison Dong Dan.
When Deng heard the sound of drums, the capital was shaken. An hour later, Xu Qing and others, who arrived in Jiankang earlier than Dong Dan, learned the news.
Xu Qing and everyone came to the home of his cousin Xu Zhen. Xu Zhen was the governor of his province and an inconspicuous official in the capital. Two days ago, Xu Qing and others came to him for an event. Xu Zhen knew his weight, so he only Neng agreed vaguely, and also asked Xu Qing and others to play the Dengwen drum.
When he learned that Dong Dan was playing the Dengwen drum, Xu Zhen smiled and said: "Fifth brother, Yu originally asked you to play the Dengwen drum, but you have many concerns. Now that Dong Dan has set a precedent, you might as well keep up. The Dengwen drum sounds, and the capital Everyone knows that this matter has become a big deal."
Then, the Dengwen drum sounded again. The Dengwen drum sounded twice a day, and King Kuaiji of the Dongcheng Palace was also alarmed. He hurriedly summoned Tingwei Xunshi to the palace to ask why the Dengwen drum sounded.
After learning that the two drum sounds were caused by Yang Anxuan, Sima Daozi put his hand on his forehead and felt a severe headache. Yang Anxuan was uneasy wherever he went, so he asked him to train troops in Runan County as a barrier to Jiankang. He had only been in Runan County for a few days, and the Dengwen drum that had not been sounded for many years was sounded twice for him.
Sima Yuanxian said: "Yang Anxuan has acted so recklessly and cannot be ignored. My father should ask the Tingwei to send someone to bring him to the capital to punish him."
Xun Shi glanced at Sima Daozi and said, "Yang Anxuan has just made great contributions to the country, so he will be sent to the imperial court immediately for questioning. I'm afraid it will cause people to talk and it will not look good on the king."
Years ago, Yang Anxuan sent two carts of gifts to the palace, as well as a letter. In the letter, Yang Anxuan mentioned that the floods in Runan County were serious, the warehouses were empty, and the disaster relief was huge.
The imperial court received a memorial regarding the flood in Runan. At that time, Wang Yan was in rebellion and the three Wu states were unstable. The imperial court was unable to provide relief, but agreed to the request of Zhou An, the prefect of Runan, to reduce taxes by half.
Sima Daozi noticed that the Runan nobles accused Yang Anxuan of not abiding by laws and disciplines, abusing punishment, and causing unjust imprisonment, while Dong Dan was defending his father's innocence.
After a little thinking, you can get a taste of it. It is estimated that the officials took the opportunity to be corrupt during the disaster relief, which angered Yang Anxuan, and the punishment was more severe.
Years ago, the court issued an order to provide disaster relief, and all the states came to ask for food and money. The court had no extra money. The late emperor once wanted to build a palace in Hualin Garden, but it still has no place. These gentry cannot worry about the country. , I want to teach you a lesson.
Thinking of this, Sima Daozi said: "Go to Yushitai and send people with Tingwei to Runan to find out the truth. Don't let it go in vain."
Xun Shi heard the partiality in Sima Daozi's words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely find out the truth."
Sima Yuanxian said dissatisfiedly: "Xun Tingwei, you can't bend the law for personal gain. You must deal with justice impartially. If it's inappropriate to investigate openly, let's make a secret investigation."
Xunshi glanced at Sima Daozi. The father and son had different opinions. It seemed that it was best for him to stay out of the matter and wait and see.
Two days later, Shi Yushi Guo Ding and Tingwei Zhengsun Bin, with more than ten followers, went to Runan County in civilian clothes to investigate the case.
