Some time ago, CCTV broadcast the TV series "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" during prime time, which attracted people's attention. Major domestic media have also published articles discussing it. Some people praised the play as a masterpiece, while others accused it of being shoddy. In the play, Song Ci transforms into a Sherlock Holmes-like detective, and the unclear relationship between the protagonist and Ying Gu has aroused various discussions. However, the true face of Song Ci in history has not yet been clarified. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been interrogators. The term "criminal officer" is the abbreviation for the official position in prison. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been set up in various ways. It governs justice, prisons, supervision, and agriculture. Its official office is called the Ministry of Constitution. So, where did the Song Dynasty go? Since the Qin Dynasty implemented the system of prefectures and counties, local administration in all dynasties has basically implemented a two-level system of prefectures and counties, which is equivalent to today's cities and counties. At the same time, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, supervisory organizations were set up above counties in the past dynasties. For example, in the Han Dynasty, counties were set up above counties, with several counties under their jurisdiction, and the imperial court sent state governors; in the Tang Dynasty, Lu was set up above the states, and these supervisory organizations often evolved. It is a local-level administrative organization, equivalent to the current province. When the Song Dynasty was established, the country was divided into ten roads. Later, it was changed to roads, but the number changed. In terms of scale, the roads of the Song Dynasty were similar to those of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with several states under their jurisdiction. Because the Song Dynasty had always implemented the policy of maintaining internal security and limiting the power of ministers, it would not produce government officials like those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the Song Dynasty built the road, it successively established the Water Transport Department and organized some public affairs in the prison to promote the development of Changping. They all oversee the work of their respective states and counties. Most of the yamen where the investigators work are located in state capitals that occupy important roads. The investigators regularly inspect the counties under their jurisdiction every year. In addition to supervising local officials, the functions of the Collector of the Ministry of Justice in the Song Dynasty were mainly to examine and review cases tried and reported by the prefecture and county governments under their jurisdiction, to interrogate prefecture and county prisoners, and to impeach local officials for their dereliction of duty in delaying trials and failing to arrest thieves in a timely manner. In the Song Dynasty, the magistrate and county could judge crimes below the penalty of cane; crimes above imprisonment were tried by the bar, and the arrangement officer was mainly responsible for supervision; capital crimes in prefectures and counties generally required the approval of the punishment officer, and the punishment department became the highest court in local litigation cases. . When patrolling prisons in prefectures and counties, criminal officials not only check the number of prisoners and their time served, but also try difficult cases, vindicate unjust, false and wrongful convictions, and accept appeals from the people. In addition to reviewing and trying cases in counties and counties, maintaining public order in local society was also an important responsibility of local officials in the Song Dynasty. This included eradicating bandits and suppressing peasant uprisings. For example, Xin Qiji suppressed a tea merchant uprising when he was a criminal official in Hunan. Therefore, most of the Inquisitor's deputies are military commanders. Military commanders were even used as arraignment officers when large-scale peasant uprisings or social unrest occurred. In addition to prisons and public security, Song dynasty enemies were sometimes responsible for overseeing certain taxes or the management of local warehouses. The establishment of the arraignment officer will help strengthen centralization of power, and at the same time, it can effectively supervise prisons and litigation, redress unjust, false and erroneous cases, crack down on illegal officials, and play a role in easing social conflicts. Due to the malfeasance of state and county officials and the extortion of petty officials, cases are often complicated and disorderly. The arraignment of the criminal officer is an important trial stage. Whether they can fulfill their duties is related to whether the people can get a fair judgment, and whether unjust, false and wrong cases can be rectified. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty
In October of the first year of Baoqing, Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty, Liu Kezhuang was appointed as the magistrate of Jianyang County. Just because Song lived in Xiaogan, his father's hometown in Jianyang, the two hit it off and formed a deep friendship. Song was one year older than Liu, but Zhuang respected Song as his elder brother. Liu Kezhuang admired Song's character, knowledge and insight, and was as famous as Xin Qiji. Thirty years later, Liu Kezhuang was shocked to hear of Song Ci's death and wrote "Song Ci's Record of Clearing Wrongs". Song Ci was from Jianyang in the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, his great-grandfather came to Jianyang from Jiande County, Zhejiang Province to serve as prime minister and lived in Jianyang. His father, Song Gong, had been an official in Guangzhou and his family was well off. Song Ci studied art with his father since he was a child. When he was 10 years old, he became a teacher of Wu Zhi, a scholar from Jianyang County and a disciple of a wealthy family. He also became a teacher of Wu Zhi's classmates Huang Qian, Yi Fengjia and other famous figures. When he was a teenager, Song Ci began to be influenced by Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism. Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism was founded by Cheng Yi and Cheng Yi, famous scholars in the Song Dynasty, among whom Zhu Zi was the master. According to Zhu Cheng's theory, Li is a representation of the order and laws of all things in the universe. It no longer traces the context of all things in the world, but pays more attention to the logical order of all things: Li completely got rid of the biochemical model of the universe and became a pure philosophical ontology. It is the basis for domination of the entire world. It existed before heaven and earth existed. It remains after the destruction of the Earth. Therefore, it is a completely idealistic philosophical view.
In the first year of Chunxi reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Song Renzong went to Beijing Business School to study. During this period, he was appreciated by the famous Confucian scholar Zhen Xiu. Zhen Xiu taught Song Ci a lot of knowledge. In the tenth year of Jiading reign of Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, Song Ci passed the Jinshi examination and was appointed by the imperial court as the captain of Yin County, Zhejiang Province. However, his father was seriously ill and could not take up the post. It was not until the Baoqing reign of Song Lizong that Song Ci really entered his official career in his second year as the bookkeeper of Xinfeng County, Ganzhou. With the strength of Mongolia and the advance of the Jin army, the power of Song Ci in the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger. Although Prime Minister Han Taozhou organized Song Ningzong's Northern Expedition. However, the Northern Expedition failed, and Han Yuzhou even lost his life. The peace negotiators of the Southern Song Dynasty signed the "Jiading Peace Agreement" with the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin and Song Dynasties were divided between monarchs and ministers. During the Jin and Song dynasties, tributes increased day by day, and the national power became weaker and weaker. Later, Song Lian was named on the Golden List, but did not get any benefits. During the reign of Emperor Zong, the treacherous minister Jia Sidao took advantage of power, weakening the country's power and making people's lives more difficult. At this time, in Ganzhou where Song Huizong worked, the land was barren, there were many people and few lands, taxes were heavy, and the people were living in dire straits. Therefore, peasant uprisings continued. Song Renzong was specially awarded the title of county guard by the imperial court for his meritorious service in capturing the three thieves. Soon, on the recommendation of Taifu Zhen, Song Ci entered the shogunate and participated in military affairs during the Ganzhou period. Later, he entered the shogunate of Zhao Buzhi and participated in the suppression of the rebellion in central Fujian. During the battle, Song Ci led his team to conquer more than 300 miles and was invincible, which impressed the coach. For this reason, he was awarded the magistrate of Changting County.
