Chapter 85: The Imperial Guards Who Were Authorized to Execute First and Report Later
Before Feng Quji could maintain his excitement for a moment, he heard Ying Yuan at the top of the table sigh with the same feeling.

"What Prime Minister Feng just said made me realize that there is a serious problem in my Great Qin."

"That is because the supervision of the world, especially the important places, is still too negligent."

"What Prime Minister Feng just said about assigning officials to investigate the case is acceptable, but not enough, in my opinion!"

"Instead of temporarily transferring officials, it would be better to directly let the Royal Guard expand its scope."

Hearing this, Feng Quji was dumbfounded.

What does it mean to be okay, but not enough?

Are you using his words as a stepping stone?

But Feng Quji had no time to get angry, because Ying Yuan's next words made him so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot.

"This young master has decided that starting today, the Jinyiwei will be expanded."

"The headquarters was established in Xianyang, with two pacification offices in the north and south."

"Among them, the Southern Pacification Division is responsible for investigation, supervision, and pursuit, while the Northern Pacification Division is responsible for interrogation, detention, and internal supervision!"

"In order to prevent Jinyiwei from encountering problems during the investigation, this young master has decided to grant Jinyiwei the power to execute first and report later."

"Execute first and report later, the imperial power has granted permission, just to clean up the world and monitor the world!"

After these words were spoken, Feng Quji no longer cared about his own little plans.

Does this Young Master Yuan know what he said?

Execute first and report later, a special permission from the emperor?
Or is it an institution that has a series of powers such as investigation, monitoring, pursuit, interrogation, and detention? ? ?
Isn't this clearly telling all the ministers that the Jinyiwei will monitor you all and will take direct action against you for any future mistakes you make?

It wasn't just Feng Quji who was nervous; everyone was nervous.

Even behind the screen where no one could see, the First Emperor, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at the figure sitting high up through the screen, his brows unconsciously frowned.

Jinyiwei?
This is the organization founded by Ying Yuan himself. Not only is he going to bring it to the surface, but he is also going to expand it?
What is the Sixth Brother planning here?
The First Emperor suddenly felt that he could not see through his own Sixth Son.

And just as the First Emperor was frowning and thinking hard.

Li Si, who had not originally planned to speak today and just wanted to watch the fun, stood up with a serious face.

"Sir, I have a report to make!"

Ying Yuan looked at Li Si, who suddenly stood up, with a little surprise and nodded.

"Prelude!"

Li Si had a serious look on his face at this moment, looking directly at Ying Yuan who was sitting above him.

"Sir, I think that the Jinyiwei's decision to execute first and report later and the imperial power's special permission are not in line with the laws of the Qin Dynasty."

"The Great Qin has been governed by law for over a hundred years, and the right to execute first and report later has never appeared. This move is undoubtedly undermining the fairness and seriousness of the Great Qin's legal principles!"

"Please take back your order, sir!"

Seeing Li Si standing up first and directly opposing without any concealment, let alone others, even Feng Quji couldn't help but turn his eyes away.

Obviously, no one expected Li Si to suddenly stand up.

But after Li Si finished speaking, everyone understood after just a moment's thought.

Li Si did not stand up because of his duty as the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, but because of his identity as a disciple of the Legalists.

As he said, the Qin Dynasty has been governed by law for more than a hundred years.

The Legalists had already penetrated into every aspect of the Qin Dynasty!
As the representative of the Legalists today and also the iron-clad leader of the Legalists in the Qin Dynasty, how could he allow the dignity and foundation of the Legalists to be touched?

However, since Ying Yuan has taken this opportunity to put the Jinyiwei in the open today and at the same time wants to give the Jinyiwei more power, he will naturally not back down.

"Prime Minister Li is right. Rule of law is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, I will not object!"

“But…the majesty of the law lies in the integrity of the process and the fairness of the results, not in superficial legality!”

"Perhaps I didn't explain clearly just now the Jinyiwei's right to execute first and report later."

"The so-called execution first and report later does not mean that the Jinyiwei can kill people without restraint."

"It was an emergency measure taken in an emergency situation to prevent key figures and serious prisoners from escaping."

"Afterwards, just like other cases handled by the Jinyiwei, they will also need to be judged and dealt with according to the laws of our Great Qin."

"Therefore, Prime Minister Li does not need to worry that the Jinyiwei will become lawless criminals. Instead, he can look forward to the fact that with the appearance of the Jinyiwei, the majesty of the laws of the Qin Dynasty will be even stronger."

At this point, Ying Yuan laughed with a hint of amusement.

"After all, the territory of Daqin is vast now, and some people take advantage of the fact that the emperor is far away and commit illegal acts in the local area."

"The people have no place to file a complaint, and the officials are helpless, so the majesty of the Qin laws has completely disappeared and has become nothing more than a piece of paper!"

"But after the Jinyiwei had this privilege, things became different."

“In the past, we had to collect evidence and convict people before we could arrest and try them.”

"As a result, the news leaked out when the evidence was being collected, which allowed the corrupt officials and wealthy families who were still in office to use all means to cover up and erase all kinds of evidence."

"In the end, it resulted in a situation where a crime had clearly occurred but no one could be convicted."

"But now that the Royal Guards have the power to execute first and report later, things are different!"

Ying Yuan smiled and looked around at all the courtiers standing in the Qilin Hall. He knocked on the table in front of him with a smile and said playfully.

"Whenever the Jinyiwei find someone guilty, they will naturally collect evidence and report it first. Only after the conviction can they arrest and interrogate him."

"But if during the evidence collection period, it is discovered that the other party is trying to cover up the crime, then the Jinyiwei will directly exercise the right to execute first and report later and arrest the person first."

“And then comes the follow-up work!”

"In this way, why worry about the lack of majesty of the laws of the Qin Dynasty?"

When Li Si heard this, he fell silent.

He bowed without saying a word, and then returned to his original seat in silence.

This behavior made Feng Quji dumbfounded.

Feng Quji almost jumped out on the spot and pointed at Li Si's nose and cursed him.

'no! '

"Aren't you, Li Si, a die-hard supporter of the Legalists?"

"Just now you were saying that Ying Laoliu's actions endangered the dignity of the laws of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Good fellow, you believed just a few words from Ying Laoliu?"

'You were probably just farting, weren't you?'

Feng Quji couldn't help but be nervous.

The aristocratic group behind him had already suffered a great loss of strength due to the failure of supplementing the list.

But a Jinyiwei appeared on Ying Laoliu's side? !
Well, the emperor has granted me special permission to execute first and report later! ?
Doesn't that mean that if a group of nobles cause trouble, the Jinyiwei can arrest them on the spot and then slowly collect evidence?
How to play then?
This is so bad!
