In all dynasties, there were three joint trials, which were mainly responsible for the trial of major cases.
They were the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Yushitai Inspectorate.
These three yamen were the judicial institutions of the court, also known as the Three Legal Departments.
The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of prisons, Dali Temple is in charge of the trial of judicial cases, and Yushitai is in charge of supervising hundreds of officials.
Major cases such as the collective embezzlement and bending of the law by officials in the Ministry of Revenue must be heard by the three departments.
During this process, if someone in Yushitai breaks the law, this incident will undoubtedly affect the reputation of Yushitai and the chief official.
Wu Sun was infamous in this case.
The Yushitai would also become the laughingstock of the world.
Of course Wu Sun did not hope that someone in the Yushitai would really enrich himself during the law enforcement process, but if it did happen, he also hoped that the case would be investigated internally.
An internal investigation would be better than It would be much better if Zhao Ziliang ordered Dali Temple to intervene.
Only two days later, after investigation, Wu Shan found out that someone had enriched himself while ransacking the house, and there was more than one person.
There were as many as four people involved in the matter, all of whom he had dispatched from the Yushitai to investigate the household department.
There were several major officials who were corrupt and violated the law.
Among them, there was a censor in the Taiyuan, two censors in the palace, and a censor in the Chaoyuan.
After another two days of emergency interrogation, Wu Sun finally found out the case of internal enrichment and self-stealing.
These four people deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates.
They colluded in the process of ransacking the house and concealed the assets obtained from the house raid, which amounted to 1,260 yuan. 80,000 yuan, in addition to twelve cars of gold and silver jewelry and as many as 1,354 antique calligraphy and paintings.
These series of figures were shocking.
After the interrogation, Wu Sun felt a huge wave of emotions in his heart.
No wonder the weakened city of the Tang Empire is like this now.
There are so many corrupt officials who bend the law and violate the law.
With the existence of officials, it is a miracle that the Tang Empire can survive until now.
These are just the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the officials of Yushitai who enforce the law and break the law.
So what about other imperial yamen?
Do they also have so many people who are corrupt and bend the law?
Wu Sun suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
If the entire court collapsed, the consequences would be too terrible.
Wu Sun came to the Prince Regent's Mansion with an uneasy mood.
Zhao Ziliang met him in the main hall.
He took out the memorial with the investigation report and presented it to him.
He knelt down to plead guilty and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch.
After careful investigation of the ministers, it turned out that it was true."
It was discovered that there were people in Yushitai who were colluding to enrich themselves and steal from others.
This was a detailed investigation and interrogation process.
There were four main criminals and eight accomplices. , they jointly concealed the assets obtained from the confiscation of the house, amounting to 12.68 million yuan, in addition to twelve cars of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as many as 1,354 items.
Officials under the supervision of Weichen My incompetence has led to such large-scale and large-scale incidents of self-stealing and personal enrichment by my subordinates.
I have betrayed the king’s kindness and trust.
I request you to resign from the post of Yushi Zhongcheng.”
Zhao Ziliang took the memorial handed over by Wu Sun from the eunuch, read it in detail from beginning to end, and finally closed the memorial and said: "Don't just say resignation.
Such a big thing happened in Yushitai, and someone really needs to be responsible for it."
You are responsible, but you do not have the main responsibility.
You just gave up and quit.
This is irresponsible and shows that I have high expectations.
This is how you repay me."
Wu Sun quickly prostrated himself: "I am ashamed, I have betrayed the king's trust and support."

"You want to resign.
I don't allow it.
If everyone is like you, who will be in charge?
Isn't it a mess in this court?
Let's talk about the resignation later.
Tell me what to do with this case.
You can't judge yourselves." " Wu Sheng said: "Your Majesty, the minister must not be able to hide this matter if he knows about it.
Instead of letting officials from other yamen come to the king to impeach and complain, it is better for the minister to report the case to Dali Temple himself, and let Dali The temple will hear the verdict, so that those with ulterior motives will have no excuse to bite people."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and praised: "That's the best thing you can think of.
Who is the Dali Temple Qing Wu Shude?
Who is the Shaoqing Liu Zhendong and Fan Sheng?"
Wu Sun replied: "As far as I know, Wu Shude should be from the prince, Fan Sheng is from the prime minister Yuan Zai, and Liu Zhendong has not taken refuge with anyone."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Wu Sun: "Go and report the case to Wu Shude.
At the same time, record all the stolen money and goods confiscated and escort them to the treasury.
Let the relevant officials of the Ministry of Household Registration register them and convey the king's order to Wu Shude." , ordered him to conduct a serious and expeditious trial and judgment on this case, and I am waiting for him to come and report the trial and judgment process in person."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Although Wu Sun didn't understand why Zhao Ziliang asked Wu Shude to hear this kind of case, it is said that this kind of case does not need to be heard by Wu Shude personally, because after all, it does not involve a distinguished minister or prince, and can be handed over to any young minister. trial, but he immediately agreed.
On the morning of October 13th, Zhao Ziliang came to the main hall of the palace to prepare official documents.
Du Fu had already made preparations here.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang coming, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty, there are two main arrangements for your Majesty today.
The first is to meet with Li Kui, the Minister of Rites; the second is to meet with the reinforcements general Zang Xiyan, the Shence Army envoy Wei Boyu, the Zhenguo Army envoy Luo Yuanguang, the reinforcements supervisors Ma Chenggong, Gu Tongde, Mu Zihe and others.
All arrangements are made In the morning".
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said to Du Fu: "As soon as they arrive, let them come directly.
There is no need to report separately."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Soon after Chenshi arrived, Li Kui, the Minister of Rites, and the left and right ministers came.
Under the leadership of the guards, they came to the main hall of the palace.
Zhao Ziliang was quickly processing the official documents of the imperial court and the urgent official documents and memorials sent from Xinjing.
"The humble minister Li Kui pays homage to the regent."
Li Kui bowed his hands and saluted, and the left and right ministers behind him also announced their names and saluted.
Zhao Ziliang put down his brush and raised his head and said: "What do the three Qing family members have to report to this king today?"
Li Kui said: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination will start in three days, but so far, the examination questions have not been decided.
The minister first asked the prime minister Yuan Zai, and then asked the prince about the examination questions. , but both Mr.
Yuan and the Crown Prince said that they are not good at setting the questions.
This matter has to be troubled by the examiner, that is, you, the king.
Today, the minister came here to ask the king to confirm the test questions."
"Hmph, the two of them want to pick their own hair clean and blame this trouble on me.
They really have bad intentions."
Zhao Ziliang said in a rather dissatisfied tone, but things still need to be done.
The imperial examination will be held soon.
There are only three days, and so far, the test questions have not been worked out, which indeed makes Li Kui and others particularly anxious.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, took out a blank and clean piece of paper, and began to write on it with a brush.
While writing, he asked: "How are the preparations for the examination room going?"
Li Kui said: "Everything has been prepared, but the money spent has not yet been paid to the craftsmen and material merchants."
Zhao Ziliang raised his head when he heard this and said: "I knew you would ask for money at this time.
Have you arranged the necessary servants, yamen and handymen for the examination?

How much did it cost in total?"
Li Kui said quickly: "Everything has been arranged.
Just wait for the examination questions to be confirmed and everything will be ready.
A total of 31,200 guan has been spent, which is an overrun of 1,200 guan."
Zhao Ziliang took another piece of white paper, wrote a vertical line of words on it, then stamped it with the regent's seal, handed the written paper over and said: "With this, go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to get the money, and the extra two Baiguan is a living allowance for all the servants, government servants and handymen who are responsible for safety, order and chores during the scientific examination.
It will be used until it is spent.
If it is not enough, it will be supplemented by your household department."
"Yes, yes."
Li Kui took the note with a happy face and carefully put it in his sleeve.
Zhao Ziliang continued to write on the paper, stopping and writing in the middle.
It took him a quarter of an hour to stop.
He put down the brush and said to Li Kui and the others: "I thought about it for a while and made a detailed analysis of the scores for this year's scientific examination questions." stipulate and divide one Let’s focus on the following.
The scope of the examination questions has also been changed.
Let’s first explain the economics subject.
The Ming economics subject mainly tests Confucian classics and oral examinations.
The contents of Confucian classics include scriptures and Mo Yi, while the oral examination mainly tests ten classic questions and answers to current affairs.
Sanjo, right?”
Li Kui nodded and replied: "Yes."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, this time the Ming Dynasty Classics Examination, the total score of the test paper is 100 points, of which 30 points are given by Tie Jing and Mo Yi; there are ten questions about the great meanings of the classics, one point for each; and there are three current affairs policies, each of which is one point.
Twenty points, a total of 100 points.
The ten questions about the scriptures, Mo Yi and the oral examination are left to your own rites department.
Determining the topic, I have come to make three plans.
The first topic is about people like Li Zhongchen.
The court treats them well.
Why do they want to rebel?
The second topic is: on the eve of the Anshi Rebellion, why are the landless people becoming more and more common?
The more the third question is, in recent years, the imperial treasury has always been empty, why?”
"Let's talk about the Jinshi subject.
The examination of the Jinshi subject also needs to make some changes.
The total score of the paper is also 100 points.
The content of the examination is mainly poetry and political theory.
Poetry and Fu are 30 points, and political theory is 70 points.
Among them, poetry Fifteen points, this time the test question is to write a poem with winter as the content, regardless of genre and meter; the poem is also worth fifteen points, and the poem is with grain as the content.
Songs and poems are also not limited to genre and rhythm.
Political topics are the top priority of Jinshi subjects.
The reason why I set the score at 70 is because I need talents with insight and strategy.
Rather than being a fool who reads rote poems and songs.
Although the poems and songs are well done, can they govern the country?
The topic of this political essay is Fan Zhen.
Write a political essay with Fan Zhen as the title. " After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he handed the written paper to Li Kui.
Li Kui took it and looked at it and said: "Your Majesty, if you divide the paper scores in this way, you may be criticized by the students.
After all, those students have suffered ten years of poverty. read" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand to interrupt him: "I know what you are going to say.
Without reading a lot of books, extensive investigation and research, and in-depth thinking, I will never write any good strategies.
I have no knowledge, no insight, and no strategy.
It is impossible for people to get high scores.

This matter has been settled.
You go back and prepare.
Remember that the content of the test questions must be kept confidential.
If the test questions are leaked, all three of you will go home and farm."
