    Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.  When Zhang Ran returned to Beijing, she was no longer a mere sixth-grade censor, but an iron hand of justice with rich fighting experience. She was responsible for the prosecution of local criminal cases in the capital and was ready to take up the title of deputy capital censor.  It will take at most two years to take charge of the affairs of the academy.  However, the capital is at the feet of the emperor, who dares to make trouble?  So much so that after Zhang Ran returned to Beijing, she had not yet handled a single serious case.  "The case of Zhang Youquan's murder of Wang Erma has a simple case, complete witnesses and material evidence, and the parties confessed. Why was the prosecution dismissed?" Zhang Rong entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate on an ordinary morning, and at first sight she saw lying on the table.  The file is an ironclad case.  In this case, Zhang Youquan killed Wang Erma, a man from the capital, with a firecracker. The evidence was conclusive, and even the person involved confessed. However, the Metropolitan Procuratorate filed a public prosecution with the Shuntian Prefecture Magistrate's Court but was ruled not to open the case.  No, the following censor handling the case can only send the file to the deputy capital censor, hoping to file for reconsideration.  The entire Metropolitan Procuratorate believes that killing innocent civilians in broad daylight is really abominable.  "What's the reason why the Magistrate's Court didn't open the case?" Zhang Rong asked as he opened the file.  The assistant censor had already prepared his homework and replied: "The Shuntian Prefecture Judicial Council said it has no jurisdiction." Zhang Rong frowned.  The Ming Dynasty¡¯s jurisdiction over criminal cases is very broad, and anyone who has anything to do with the case is qualified to handle it.  Shuntian Prefecture used this as the reason for not filing a case. It must be because of this person's special status.  "Are you a relative of the emperor?" Zhang Rong asked displeasedly.  Close relatives of the royal family involved in the case have immunity. This has been a rule set since the Taizu era, until the "Longjing Criminal Code" officially determined the scope of immunity, and the judgment can only be made by the emperor himself.  "That's not true," the assistant said, "this Zhang Youquan is still in the military. Therefore, the Shuntian Prefecture Judicial Council believes that only the Dali Temple of the Fifth Army is qualified to try." "You are a timid person." Zhang Rong became more and more unhappy.  Every department is fighting for power and trying desperately to "usurp power", but when something goes wrong at Dali Temple, they push it out!  Seeing Zhang Rong¡¯s disdainful face, the assistant understood quite well the Senate¡¯s decision.  The case of Zhang Youquan¡¯s murder of Wang Erma is no longer a simple criminal case.  Since Emperor Chongzhen returned to the capital, the Capital Police Department and Inspection Department have made great efforts to improve public security in the capital.  In addition, the existence of the Golden Scale Society, a "civilian organization" that seems both white and black.  Even pickpockets have disappeared from the streets of the capital.  In this kind of environment, if a murder case occurs, how can it not shock the world?  But looking at it from another perspective, although the police discovered the issue of Zhang Youquan¡¯s place of origin during the investigation, the Fifth Military Inspectorate refused to accept it because Zhang Youquan had completed the retirement procedures and was no longer a member of the military.  The reason for retaining military status was a policy originally formulated to facilitate the return of retired soldiers to their hometowns.  After they settle down in their hometown, they will be transferred to nationality.  The Fifth Military Procuratorate ignored it, not because Zhang Youquan¡¯s criminal behavior had tarnished the army.  On the contrary, this is still "protecting shortcomings" within the military.  Because according to military law, killing innocent people must be without mercy.  However, in local areas, even for murder, people are often sentenced to exile to the frontier as appropriate.  If the local authorities were to take over this case, it would probably be possible to save Zhang Youquan's life, and it would not be in vain for his colleagues.  It¡¯s just that the system of judges has been in trouble by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.  As soon as the word "worm" comes across, he will definitely go to settle down thousands of miles away, but the word "yong" falls on his head.  There is no hope of promotion in this life.  "In Zhang Youquan's case, there are some who criticize, some who are sarcastic, some who sympathize, and some who appreciate him. No matter how the verdict is decided, no benefit will be lost.  If you are not careful, you will be labeled as "low quality", "mediocre and incompetent".  This is the reason why the Shuntian Prefecture Magistrate's Court refuses to accept this case.  "Mr. Wenquan," the assistant bowed, "I'm afraid the criticism is just one thing. There is another thing that I have to be careful about!" "What?" Zhang Wenquan raised a glance.  "The cabinet is actually opposed to retiring with guns." the assistant said.  Zhang Rong was like a stone statue, without any reaction for a moment.  The issue of retiring with guns is often associated with the popularization of fire gun drills among various schools.  At the same time, it became a touchstone for civil servants.  There is a joke in the Ministry of Personnel that when selecting an official, you don¡¯t need to ask anything else, just ask if you support carrying a gun when moving around, and all scholars should practice with firecrackers.  If the officials participating in the election resolutely agree, they are loyal ministers of the emperor and can be entrusted to a county or a border province.  If he objects, he is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. It depends on why he objects.  If the answer affects social security and is not conducive to government governance, it can be seen that his character?Those who regard themselves as those who work hard can try to be in the ministry and stay as officials in the capital, but they will not be able to reach the fifth or fourth rank throughout their lives.  If you want to take charge of the ministry and reach the third rank of nobles, you must see that this is actually a battle between civil and military affairs.  It is common sense for people to place their feelings on things.  As long as this gun is kept at home, no matter what position or class the person holds in this life, he will never forget that he was a soldier and will always have the mark of a warrior.  Without this musket, time would slowly wash away this memory.  Zhang Rong has already reached the fourth rank, and he will do his best to be promoted to the third rank in two years. He can already touch this level.  If you look at it from the perspective of the pavilion elders, you can see deeper.  This dark musket is actually the key to the struggle between monarchy and political power.  Although people all over the world firmly believe that monarchy is political power.  In fact, the monarchy and political power have been separated in the Ming Dynasty since Chengzu established the cabinet.  From the rule of Renxuan to the chaos of Yan Song, it was a process of continuous transfer of political power from the emperor to the cabinet, until Xu Jie hung up a banner: "Return the power and blessings to the Lord, return the government affairs to the officials, and sacrifice punishments to reward the officials."  "No one thought it was inappropriate.  In Mr. Xu Ge's view, the emperor only needs "power and blessing", but government affairs belong to the officials. As for personnel power and judicial jurisdiction, it is more important to "return to the public opinion."  Emperor Chongzhen was the only emperor after Emperor Wanli who consciously regained power, but the only method he could think of was to "replace people."  Seventeen years before the National Revolution, the Fifty Prime Ministers broke the record of the Ming Dynasty, shattered the dependence of military generals on civilian officials, and at the same time lost the court's control over the army.  The young Emperor Longjing took advantage of the special period of national change to unify military power and political power.  Even if they were forced to release some political power to civilian officials, the military power was always firmly held.  When the military attach¨¦s have the golden thigh of the emperor to embrace, who will rely on the civil servants?  Retiring with a gun is a way to brand the young people of the country as warriors, so that they will always remember their identity as warriors, even if they go to school and become doctors in the future.  He will never forget his military career and the education he received in the army to be absolutely loyal to the emperor.  Back to Zhang Youquan¡¯s case.  If you think that Zhang Youquan should kill someone to pay for his life, it is easy to fall into a logical trap: If he was not allowed to retire with a gun, how could there be such a tragedy?  This is also the voice that the cabinet ministers want to hear, consciously or unconsciously.  At this time, Zhang Rong finally realized how heavy the complaint in his hand was.  "Nonsense. Since you are a member of the military, you should have been transferred to the Fifth Military Inspectorate from the beginning!" Zhang Ran slapped the table: "Those legal illiterates in the police station don't understand the rules, and the censor doesn't understand either?" The assistant pursed his lips and snickered.  , secretly said: The so-called iron hand.  It¡¯s not exempt from vulgarity!  Zhang Rong took a breath and said: "But since we have already got it, if we send it out like this, people will say that we are afraid of trouble." The assistant was stunned and didn't know what the deputy imperial envoy meant.  "First, please report the issue of jurisdiction to the Holy Judgment and see what the Holy See says." Zhang Rong said.  The assistant was immediately in awe: Such a skill!  Give it directly to the Holy One, no matter what the Holy One says.  Anyway, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has no responsibility.  ¡­ When Zhu Cihong first heard about Zhang Youquan¡¯s case, he had already thought of the possible social impact.  If you intervene directly.  It will undoubtedly undermine the established judicial process.  As an emperor with a legal background, it is certainly not a big problem, but later generations will have to take more detours for this.  Until the Metropolitan Procuratorate submitted the jurisdiction issue, it gave Zhu Cihong an opportunity to take over.  "Although Zhang Youquan's household registration is still in the military, his status as a soldier should be based on the principle of registration, that is, he is a soldier until he is registered in the army until his military rank is cancelled. Zhang Youquan committed a crime on his way back from retirement, which should be regarded as a mortal crime. According to the Shuntian Prefecture Council  Trial. "Zhu Cixi explained it in the Zhu batch and listed this case as a judicial interpretation and sent it to the whole country, which also has legal effect.  However, this incident is not simply over, and its social impact is too great.  The emperor had to weigh whether he should be determined to protect Zhang Youquan or insist on fairness and justice.  "Your Majesty, why would such a simple matter, murder for life, cause such a commotion in the city?" Duan was very puzzled that the recent controversy in the newspapers was so big.  Even more disapproving of Zhang Youquan's firing of guns and killing people in broad daylight, even though some people pointed out that Wang Erma was a rogue and had treacherous behavior when Donglu occupied the city.  If retired soldiers can kill people whenever they want without being severely punished, what kind of chaos will this world be like?  "Because some people want to use this matter to make some small moves." Zhu Cixiang said: "Some people want to use this to ban private private fire guns, and some people want to take this opportunity to open the ban on private fire guns without any restrictions." Mrs. Duan frowned  ,???: "What's the fuss about those who want to ban the cannon fire? Wouldn't it be counterproductive to make more noise?" "How could it be?" Zhu Cixiang said with a smile: "They just caught an opportunity. If someone kills someone innocently,  "Wouldn't it be much safer if everyone has a fire gun in their hands?" Duan frowned and said, "This fire gun is so powerful, it's better not to let those evil people use it to fight against the government.  What should we do? "Zhu Cixiang said: "That's it, someone said: Bad guys can always get fire guns, and it is not difficult to make an earthen gun yourself, so it is even more important for good people to have the ability to protect themselves.  " Duan turned around for a while and said: "That seems to make sense. No! If the government bans firearms, as long as someone hides a firearm, they can be arrested. Why should Liangjiazi come to fight against it?  There are many more," Zhu Cixiang said, "For example, in the newly expanded land, the situation is not stable, and every Han person has a rare fighting force. How can we not provide firearms for self-defense? " The defense responsibility of the newly expanded land lies with the border guards, but  Han immigrants are also an important armed force - Xiangyong.  At most, the heroes from the mainland follow the inspection department to catch petty thieves, but the heroes from the border areas actually have to perform combat missions with the border guards.  (To be continued)
