Chapter 2 Hidden Internal Worries

Xiao Yu personally introduced that all the important officials of the Ministry of Justice who were of great importance in the lobby showed great enthusiasm for Luo Shixin and would all pat their chests to ensure that they would support Luo Shixin's work.

Even if it does not include middle and lower-level officials, it took a long time to introduce the core officials of the Ministry of Justice. It has passed a little time and it is time to start handling official duties.

All the things in the six ministries are related to the operation of the entire national institutions of the Tang Dynasty, and we cannot slacken and stop.

Xiao Yu had already waited for Luo Shixin, and he knew that they had something to say, so he all began to say goodbye and left.

Only Liu Dewei said goodbye to Xiao Yu, turned to Luo Shixin and said, "Mr. Shangshu has any advice... Our Ministry of Justice is in charge of laws and regulations, criminal law, and appoints, and the policy of obeying and banning. Do you have any opinions and suggestions on all important matters?"

Luo Shixin said without hesitation: "Just act as usual. If the official documents that have been decided by me are not necessary, you can decide first, and the Ministry of Justice will operate according to daily operations."

Liu Dewei nodded his command and walked out of the lobby with great strides.

Luo Shixin breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know anything about the Ministry of Justice. He really asked him to give instructions. It was a blind man who touched an elephant and would make a lot of jokes.

At this time, only Luo Shixin and Xiao Yu were left in the lobby.

Luo Shixin asked about the situation between Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao.

Xiao Yu happily explained the situation in detail and expressed his gratitude again.

Luo Shixin smiled and said "a simple task", and then expressed his gratitude for his purpose today.

What a person Xiao Yu is? It is obvious that he is here today to repay his kindness. With his status and reputation in the Tang Dynasty, he helped Luo Shixin, a rookie in the political arena, consolidate his position in the Ministry of Justice.

With this happening today, who doesn’t know that the new Minister of Justice Luo Shixin, the Minister of Justice, is closely related to the six ministers, the Minister of Justice Youpushe, the prime minister of the dynasty. Who dares to underestimate him, the head of the Ministry of Justice who was transferred from military positions?

Xiao Yu looked at Luo Shixin thoughtfully and said, "Is Luo Shangshu planning to do something in the Ministry of Justice?"

Luo Shixin said without hesitation: "That's natural. Isn't it an old saying that you can eat your salary and share your worries. Since you have become the Minister of Justice, you have to continue working. Although I don't know anything now, I can learn it. There is time, take it slowly. I will always understand it. Anyway, I'm still young, aren't I?"

Xiao Yu hesitated and said, "Then have you noticed Mr. Liu's intention?"

Luo Shixin said strangely: "What is Mr. Liu's intention? I don't know this... I don't have a deep relationship with him, but I don't have any grudges, right?"

Xiao Yu said in surprise: "Then why did you leave everything to Mr. Liu before?"

Luo Shixin smiled calmly and said, "It's a waste of money if you don't know. I have little contact with the Ministry of Justice. Before yesterday, I only knew that there was a Shangshu named Qu Tutong of the Ministry of Justice. He was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty. He had fought several battles with my wife in Guanzhong. He didn't know anything. Instead of interfering, making jokes, and reducing his identity and value, it's better not to do anything and let the officials who are used to the system deal with it. When I am prepared and have a certain understanding, I will participate in it. Depending on the situation, I will establish my prestige in the Ministry of Justice."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Govern if you do nothing, Xiao Guicao will follow you. Luo Shangshu is very capable, Yu looked at you differently." He paused and said, "Shangshu has great kindness with my Xiao family. You can do your best. Yu is willing to help Shangshu with his arm. If Luo Shangshu doesn't really understand the Ministry of Justice, are you interested in listening to my details?"

Luo Shixin hurriedly said, "Let me listen carefully."

Xiao Yu said: "Compared with Shangshu Luo, why did Qu Tutong dismiss the Minister of Justice when he was appointed as Shangshu Qu Tutong?" Seeing Luo Shixin, he shook his head and said: "The Ministry of Justice is a very serious department. The matter under his jurisdiction is directly related to life and reputation. As a vital criminal law institution, the Ministry of Justice is very broad. Especially as the Minister of Justice, you bear the important criminal law responsibilities of our Tang Dynasty, be responsible for the formulation and correction of the code, review and refutation of trial cases, participate in the trial of major cases, and participate in the Ministry of Personnel's judicial officers together with Dali Temple.

The election and appointment of officers and other matters about judicial matters. The personal ability and character of the Minister of Justice will symbolize the direction of the Tang Dynasty’s laws. Whether it is strict law, indulgence, or relaxation or everything depends on the personal preferences of the Minister of Justice. Strict law will become cruel officials, and relaxation can cause turmoil. There are thousands of people in the world, and everyone has different opinions, and it is difficult to hold the balance in their hearts. In addition, when facing criminal issues, a slight mistake in judgment will cause unjust cases, which will be a serious blow to personal reputation."

When Luo Shixin heard this, he nodded solemnly: To put it bluntly, the era of corrupt officials rampant and morally corrupt. Perhaps the times are different, or the technology is developed and the population is large, and it is difficult to control.

The reasons for this and that can be found by just checking the Internet at will, and the village chief and that village cadre can even be lawless. This is even more so. All kinds of incidents cannot be counted.

Whether it is TV, news, or ancient historical events, there are many corrupt officials and other things. He doesn't want to travel to this era and spend thousands of years of infatuation, so he pays special attention to these things.

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Luo Shixin also felt the seriousness of the matter: the great responsibility of the Ministry of Justice cannot be easily taken on.

Xiao Yu said: "For various reasons... the Minister of Justice Qu Tu arranged for His Highness to be the Minister of Justice. Because he knew nothing about criminal law, he made many jokes and almost misled the matter... If Mr. Liu had not had extraordinary judicial ability and had saved the face of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice would have lost face. Because of this, the Ministry of Justice had great prejudice against Mr. Qu Tu, but he was extremely respectful of Mr. Liu, so that Mr. Qu Tu invisibly let Mr. Liu lose face."

Xiao Yu's words were a little vague when he said this.

Luo Shixin understood that Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng secretly gathered their strength. Li Shimin, the important position of Minister of Justice, naturally would not be cheap as Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. Li Jiancheng, regardless of whether Qu Tutong is suitable or not, directly arranged him to this position to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Justice. Qu Tutong has a straightforward personality, firmness, and is not smooth enough. He often has problems in dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Justice. He cannot take on major responsibilities and let his subordinates lose their subordinates.

Xiao Yu continued: "At that time, there was a wind that said that the next Minister of Justice was Liu. Mr. Liu was indeed qualified to serve as Minister of Justice. He himself also believed that Minister of Justice must be him...but he didn't want to..." He did not continue... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
