Although Fan Chunren has the halo of a family, he does not hold any official position now and is just a commoner, and Zhang Fei is just a yamen servant.

These two people actually angered Ma Shuai, one of the three yamen commanders, and drove him away.

It is conceivable that they must have relied on the law.

In fact, whether it is 007 or Zhang Fei, they are all shirking responsibility to each other, and they all point to one thing, which is the rules.

This is the rule, so we can only enforce it.

If you are not satisfied, you can appeal!

The most difficult part of Sima Guang’s judicial reform was not the top-level design, but the bottom-level law enforcement, which was extremely difficult.

We must ensure that we are not afraid of the powerful, while at the same time avoiding oppressing the people.

To put it simply, it means "without distinction between relatives or strangers, noble and humble, all decisions must be made according to the law."

Wang Yanei provided Sima Guang with very good material.

...

...

Therefore, he had no intention of intervening from the beginning. He even hoped that Wang Anshi, Cao Ping and others would not intervene. He just wanted to see whether the entire mechanism could counter these powerful people.

He was delighted with the result.

But Cao Ping certainly couldn't escape.

This involves the power of the infantry and cavalry.

After leaving the Inspection Office, Wang Chao went straight to Cao's residence and grabbed Cao Ping and started yelling at him.

"Even if we don't talk about the relationship between us, the infantry and cavalry have always kept to themselves. Now your people have captured my son in the territory of my guard horse. If you don't give me an explanation for this, then there will be no fun."

"Marshal Ma, please calm down."

"If it were you, would you be able to calm down?"

"If it were me, I would never be angry."

"Um?"

Wang Chao couldn't help but look at Cao Ping in surprise.

Cao Ping sighed, "You came to me for this matter, but I can't do anything about it. If you really can't swallow this anger, then go settle the old score and arrest Dong'er. You can punish him again. I will definitely not say a word."

Wang Chao was stunned after hearing this.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You're going too far with this extreme one-for-one trade.

Not really.

"really?"

Wang Chao seemed to be frightened.

Cao Ping spread his hands and said, "I understand why Marshal Ma is so angry, but I am really helpless. I can only give you a son as compensation."

Wang Chao was confused by what he said, "Those patrolmen are all your people, so you have no right to control them?"

Cao commented: "I can manage it, but I dare not manage it."

"Why?"

"At this point, can't you see it?" Cao Ping sighed again, "Would I be so stupid as to do so many things to disgust myself? Don't you know that I also have to pay for a license plate? You can ask about it. My license plate cost... a lot of money."

Wang Chao frowned, "You mean... this is what the government wants?"

"I didn't say that."

Cao Ping raised his hand and said, "But you can only go to the government for this matter. I really can't help you. If you can't swallow this anger, just arrest Dong'er. I will never blame you."

Wang Chao began to have doubts in his heart.

What is going on? Cao Ping could even abandon his own son.

That's no small matter.

The Three Yamen are different from the Council of State Affairs because the emperor’s control over the Three Yamen is far greater than his control over the imperial court.

His expression suddenly eased a lot, he sat down and whispered: "Deputy Commander, you are an insider after all, give me some advice."

He doesn't know what the situation is now.

Cao Ping thought for a while and said, "Now that Fan Chunren has intervened in this matter, unless Qun'er pleads guilty, it will inevitably go to court. You can either let Qun'er plead guilty or go to court."

Wang Chao was unwilling to accept this. "I am the commander of the imperial guards. My son committed such a crime and has to go to court. How humiliating!"

Cao Ping laughed and said, "That was in the past. Nowadays, no one would feel ashamed. Didn't Wang Jiefu and Sima Junshi both go to court? Oh, Dong'er was also sued by a coach."

......

After Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo separated, they rushed to the palace without stopping.

"You are in a hurry to see me. I wonder what urgent matter you want to report?"

Zhao Xu looked at Sima Guang with a puzzled look.

Sima Guang said, "Your Majesty, I came to see you today because of the military patrol."

"Military Patrol Shop?"

Zhao Xu was slightly stunned.

Sima Guang nodded and said, "I happened to see on the street today that many patrolmen have put up warning signs on the streets, prohibiting carriages from traveling on certain roads."

The more Zhao Xu listened, the more confused he became. How could such a small matter alarm Sima Guang? He couldn't help but ask, "Do you think it's inappropriate?"

Sima Guang said: "Whether it should be banned or not, I have not done any investigation, so I dare not make any rash comments, but it is certain that this is done without any justification."

"Unknown master?" Zhao Xu asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty only allowed the carriages to have license plates, but did not say that they had the power to put up warning signs."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I was not referring to the warning sign at that time, but the entire street management."

Sima Guang said: "That being said, Your Majesty still emphasized the issue of license plates. Using license plates to reduce feces on the streets, and whether the military patrol station has the power to set up warning signs is completely different from license plates. Someone will definitely use this matter to impeach the patrol inspection department.

In addition, according to the original system, the traffic within the city was divided between the infantry and the cavalry, but now this matter is entirely managed by the infantry, and Your Majesty has not made it clear whether the infantry has full authority to manage the traffic within the city.

This will certainly cause controversy, Your Majesty must prepare for it in advance to prevent things from becoming more complicated."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, feeling that what Sima Guang said made sense.

Because this matter was triggered by a pile of feces, rather than the traditional legislative process, which was reviewed step by step by the emperor, the Council of State Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and the Three Yamen, and then promulgated.

As for Zhao Xu, he just went with the flow in this matter. You people are complaining about the increase of feces in the city, so I will find someone to deal with it. As a result, this license plate issue came into being. He just expressed his support and ordered Cao Ping to be in charge of the matter.

Now there is another warning sign, does Cao Ping have the authority to do so?

This is definitely controversial, because in the Song Dynasty, it was not the case that as an emperor, one person had unlimited power just by saying something. As an emperor, you had to follow the rules and not act recklessly.

Traffic control involves too many things. Should the Ma Army also be under the control of the Infantry Army?

It’s hard to explain.

"You are right. I have not considered this matter thoroughly."

Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "Then according to your opinion, how should this matter be improved?"

Sima Guang said: "In my opinion, Your Majesty can divide the military patrol station into two, and the fire police will only be responsible for fire incidents, and temporarily maintain the original system. At the same time, the patrol police can be separated from the patrol police and a police superintendent can be established to separate the military and police. The police superintendent will be responsible for traffic and public security in the city."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu suddenly realized that Sima Guang had come for this matter. He laughed and said, "Isn't this your judicial reform?"

Sima Guang nodded awkwardly and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "We have discussed this matter before, and I agreed to it at that time, but you thought the time was not right. Now that you think the time is right, then I will leave this matter to you."

"I obey your command."

Sima Guang bowed and said, "In this case, I think we should just implement the matter of the Procuratorate."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and asked, "Should we transfer Fan Sijian back?"

Sima Guang said hurriedly: "Not for the time being, I recommend Su Shi to be the deputy director of the Prosecution Department, he can take charge of it temporarily."

He also saw the necessity of the Legal Aid Department. Without the Legal Aid Department's supervision, this matter would be difficult to succeed.

"Su Shi."

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded. This time when the Su brothers returned to Beijing, he also planned to use them. One very important reason was that the two brothers were young and could accompany him for a long time. He said, "Okay! I'll do as you wish."

Sima Guang bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

This old man Sima is really cunning. He thought this license plate was unreliable before, because it was equivalent to asking for money from the people and officials, which is very difficult to accomplish. But now, after seeing it, he can only say, well, it smells really good.

The beauty of this is the Legal Aid Department.

Since he thought so, he had to quickly accept all the benefits and transform them into a written system. Anyway, Zhang Fei said it himself, this is all for my good, I can only say that I am disrespectful to refuse it.

After Sima Guang left, Zhao Xu sat in a chair, thinking, and muttered to himself: "Separation of the military and the police?"

After a while, he suddenly told the eunuch beside him, "Go and get ready. I need to go to Xu's house."

"yes."

......

Wang Anshi returned to the Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures and informed Lu Huiqing of the incident. He laughed again and said, "Although they lost, I think Sima Junshi must be very happy to lose. Although we also gained benefits, he got a great bargain!"

Lu Huiqing was so depressed after hearing this that he said nothing.

Wang Anshi glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"

Lu Huiqing was startled and said, "Master, now it seems that Sima Xueshi's judicial reform is really not to be underestimated. Although the legislative power is in our hands, the enforcement power is in his hands. Whether the new policy can be implemented depends entirely on his mood. This is really terrible."

Wang Anshi stroked his beard and said, "In fact, I have carefully considered this matter, but the promulgation of the new policy will inevitably face the problem of law enforcement. We cannot completely control every place, so there will definitely be some problems.

If something goes wrong, it is better to let Sima Junshi control it rather than letting others control it. At least he follows the rules and won’t mess around with me.”

Lu Huiqing said: "But he will definitely find faults with our new policy. Zhang San once said that there is no perfect law in the world. I agree with this. If Sima Xueshi continues to use the judiciary to attack our new policy, it will have a great impact on the new policy. If he still has the power to refuse to implement it, it will be even more troublesome. We must be on guard!"

He has always had reservations about judicial reform. Seeing that the judiciary is involved in more and more matters, which means that the power is getting bigger and bigger, he is very afraid.

Wang Anshi frowned and thought.

In fact, he is a little confused now, because he doesn't know what the judicial reform will be like once it is completed. The public security, procuratorial and judicial systems are things that did not exist before.

"Then in your opinion, how should we respond?" Wang Anshi looked up at Lu Huiqing and asked.

Lu Huiqing said: "It may be too late to oppose judicial reform now, and the Prosecution Department is definitely controlled by Sima Xueshi. Master, you can arrange people who support the new policy to be the chief judge. In this way, the impact of the judiciary on our new law can be reduced.

For example, Lu Jiawen has always been very supportive of his mentor. His mentor can promote him to the position of Chief of the Silu Division. In addition, his mentor has already recommended Zeng Gong as the acting governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. In this way, his mentor can control the Kaifeng prison.

The same approach can be adopted at the local level.”

Wang Anshi said: "Kaifeng is easy to talk about, but we don't have so many talents in the local area."

Lu Huiqing said: "Sima Jun is recruiting more litigation talents in the Imperial College for the purpose of his judicial reform, but there are also many students in the Imperial College who really support you, and you can also promote some talents who support the new policy."

Wang Anshi nodded slightly.

......

"Damn it, you are worthy of being a Dragon Guard soldier. Damn, your grip is really strong. It still hurts now. Oh my..."

Zhang Fei got off the carriage, rubbed his arm, and complained to himself, thinking about asking Gao Wenyin to rub his arm later.

But as soon as she reached the door, Xu Zhiqian pulled her to her house.

"I have seen..."

"No need to be polite."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Fei was used to sitting opposite Zhao Xu, so he sat down.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "It seems that you are doing a good job as a patrolman. You have even made the Grand Secretary Sima jealous."

"Sima Xueshi is jealous?" Zhang Fei was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, where did you get this from?"

Zhao Xu immediately informed Zhang Fei of Sima Guang's suggestion.

After hearing this, Zhang Fei immediately laughed and said, "That's what I used to attack Sima Xueshi."

Zhao Xu smiled slightly, "Anyone can say this, but the key is whether you can really train a troop that enforces the law strictly. Otherwise, Sima Xueshi will not appreciate your kindness."

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything. The key is the Legal Aid Department. If the patrol officers don't enforce the law strictly, they will be sued. No one will save them. Plus a little bit of reward, that's why we have achieved today's small success."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Don't be modest. It's so simple, why can't others do it, but you can do it?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Without your majesty's support, I can't do it."

Zhao Xu said: "If I continue to support you, can you help me train an elite force?"

"Elite troops?" Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty will not let me serve as an official in the Third Yamen, will you? I can't do that. I really don't know how to lead troops to fight."

"Don't worry, I won't be willing to send you to the Third Yamen."

"So what does your majesty mean?"

"well...."

Zhao Xu sighed, "Not only does our dynasty have internal troubles from the Three Redundancies, but we also have external worries from the Western Xia and Liao. But you should also understand the problems of the Three Yamen. The relationships there are intricate and complicated. To be honest, I have no confidence that I can rectify the Three Yamen."

Zhang Fei asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you mean to use the patrol police as a reserve force?"

"That's right."

Zhao Xu gave Zhang Fei an approving look, "This is all thanks to Sima Xueshi who reminded me. He suggested separating the military and the police, but if not, the military will be the police and the police will be the military.

Therefore, I plan to draw a large number of imperial guards from the three yamen to form a strong police force. When the time is ripe, I will also solve the external worries at the same time.

This judicial reform was all initiated by you, so I hope you can help me formulate a complete police force system and train an elite force for me."
