Valley Emperor

Valley Emperor

Nowadays, the anti-corruption work of the Datang Empire mainly relies on the Inspectorate, but the Inspectorate is not only responsible for the anti-corruption work of officials, but also for the supervision of the entire group of officials. Small issues such as life style all have the power and obligation to supervise.

In addition, the Inspectorate is responsible for the prosecution of all public prosecutions, especially criminal cases.

But there is still another problem. Although the Inspectorate is independent of the various ministries of the Cabinet, it is a unit rated independently from the Privy Council, the Naval Command, and the Cabinet, but its funding and personnel arrangements have always come from the Cabinet.

This also leads to the fact that the Inspectorate still has many connections with the cabinet, and it is impossible to achieve true independence.

This is actually very unfavorable for anti-corruption work.

When the appointment and promotion of the censors were all controlled by the Ministry of Personnel, it was naturally difficult to avoid contact with ordinary officials.

Not to mention that funding issues also need to be distributed from the cabinet.

After considering the official system of the Tang Empire in detail, Li Xuan is preparing to adjust the existing cabinet, inspectorate, court and other systems. He wants to completely separate the judicial system from the administrative department and let the judicial system do the work. to true independence.

The large-scale adjustment of major departments will naturally be very large. If it is replaced by other ordinary countries, regardless of whether it is a monarchy, a democracy, or a centralized democracy, I am afraid that it will have to go through various consultations. , can finally be determined.

But in the Tang Empire, there is no need for such trouble. Li Xuan can let the various departments of his subordinates negotiate and deal with it slowly, but any decision involving major affairs has always been decided by Li Xuan in one word.

Of course, in order to avoid problems in the future that would damage the emperor's prestige, as before, Li Xuan still would not take the initiative to mention it, but a minister would propose a reform plan, and Li Xuan would approve it.

In this way, the work is done, and the credit goes to the wise and great Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan. If things go wrong by accident, then it is natural to blame the courtier who proposed the plan, and the Holy Son of Heaven, Li Xuan, is only deceived. That's it.

After deciding to adjust the judicial system and even the entire administrative system, Li Xuan quickly summoned many important officials, including the Yushi Du of the Inspectorate, the ministers of various cabinet ministries, and the president of the Grand Court.

Through one-on-one individual interviews, reveal your thoughts to these courtiers!

Don't worry that the courtiers can't understand this kind of sloppy words. If you can become a high-level official of the empire, all of them are elite, and as an important minister of the empire, it's not a day, but you will see Li Xuan every three days, yes Naturally, Li Xuan was quite aware of it. Although Li Xuan didn't say anything out of the box and didn't express his opinion directly, most of these courtiers had guessed what the Son of Heaven wanted to do.

Immediately, going back one by one is ready to start action.

Why so decisive and quick?

Because they all know that as an official in the Tang Dynasty, there are many things that cannot be done, and the most important point is, don't go against the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan!

Let's not talk about ability, but obedience is a must.

Because it is impossible for Li Xuan to be promoted to serve as senior officials such as ministers of various departments, let alone enter the imperial study room.

Li Xuan has no interest in promoting a few thorns, and then sings against himself every day, and then he has to pretend to be humbly and educated in order to maintain the dignity of the saint.

As for the thorn, Li Xuan kicked it out as soon as he found it!

If you want to oppose Li Xuan, it is not impossible, that is to rebel...

If someone rebelled and led the army into Jinling City that day, Li Xuan guaranteed that he would be obedient!

The issue is? Can the rebellion succeed.

Yiyantang doesn't sound very good, and it is easy for the emperor to make wrong decisions, but for the emperor, even if he makes the wrong choice, it is better than the courtier to make the right decision on his own!

The point is not whether the decision is right or not, but who makes the decision!

Li Xuan is undoubtedly a very qualified emperor, so when he promotes ministers over the years, don't expect to become a high-ranking minister if he doesn't look pleasing to the eye. The governor of a province, Li Xuan would rather give such an important position to an obedient pig than a talented person with evil intentions.

Therefore, most of the high-level officials of the Tang Empire today are serious imperial parties, and everything is subject to the opinion of the Holy Son of Heaven, Li Xuan. Of course, this does not mean that they have poor ability and no opinion.

On the contrary, no one who can climb to this level is a simple person. Otherwise, they would have been killed in the tragic officialdom struggle. How can they climb up smoothly and finally enter the sight of the Son of Heaven and become a High-level officials such as ministers and ministers of various ministries.

Soon, there was a courtier who followed Li Xuan's suggestion and wrote a letter!

This excerpt is just an introduction. Naturally, it is impossible to talk about such a big issue as the reform of the official system at the beginning. Those are the main events in the future, and it is not yet time for the debut.

This account is the basis for impeaching officials from the Ministry of Industry and Jiangbei Province for using their power to seek personal gain, accepting bribes, and corrupting project funds in the Hongze Lake Embankment.

On the surface, this excerpt is just to impeach a few middle-level officials from the Ministry of Works and a few middle-level and low-level officials in Jiangbei Dao, but everyone knows that the spearhead has already been directed at higher-level people, such as Jiangbei Daoists and employees of the Ministry of Industry. Several directors and even servants, and even the relevant officials of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises were implicated.

As expected by Baiguan, within a few days, a large number of articles impeaching officials from Jiangbei Dao, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, North Anhui Dao, Henan Province and other related officials flew into the palace like snowflakes.

These excerpts are just a prelude, and the senior officials in various places will definitely need to express their positions on the excerpts.

Because many middle and senior officials are able to see an unusual taste from this incident.

Corruption of officials, how strange can this be? Every year, a lot of corrupt officials have to be arrested. Last year, thousands of officials were killed at one time. In the end, the servants and even Shangshu were forced to commit suicide.

However, such a big turmoil did not cause much turmoil. Although the officials were all trembling with fear, it did not cause a large-scale upturn.

But now, it's just a small corruption in Jiangbei Province, but it has caused a large-scale scandal in Gyeonggi and the local area. If there is no deep meaning behind this, they won't believe it if they are killed.

And they can also be very sure that there must be the acquiescence or even approval of the Son of Heaven behind this, otherwise it would be impossible to create such a big storm.

And things are indeed as they expected!

In the beginning, only low-level and middle-level officials started to submit their papers, but after a few days, even the ministers of various ministries began to issue their papers. At this time, the reason for the hundreds of officials to submit their papers was not only because of corruption in Jiangbei, but also because of corruption in Jiangbei. The supervision of the Inspectorate is unfavorable, and the anti-corruption agency of the Inspectorate and the anti-corruption agency of the Patrol Department have overlapping functions.

All of a sudden, the inspectorate was put on the fire, and the officials of the inspectorate naturally began to defend themselves, saying that it was not our lack of supervision, but that our manpower and funds were tight. In this case, How is it possible to regulate so many officials across the country.

At this time, it was actually the focus of this great debate, and the previous explanations were all just an introduction, and all they did was to lead to the complete independence of the judiciary.

During the whole process, Li Xuan did not express any opinion, and all the notes on the matter were kept in the middle.

Although the emperor's stay is not posted, its meaning is very many, sometimes it is acquiescence, sometimes it is objection, sometimes it is not seen, and there are different opinions in different situations.

The attitude of the Son of Heaven on this matter is naturally unclear to ordinary middle and low-level officials. They are not familiar with Li Xuan, and they do not know the inside of this matter. Naturally, they cannot make accurate judgments, which also leads to various judgments. .

But most of those high-ranking ministers or the middle and low-level officials who have more contact with the Son of Heaven are able to judge the meaning of the Son of Heaven!

This time I don't post it in the post~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The meaning is probably: you guys continue, I'm listening!

Although he had already received hints from the Holy Son of Heaven before, Li Xuan met alone when he met people, which was naturally different from what each courtier said, and these courtiers naturally didn't have the guts to communicate with each other.

If there are a few sentences like: "Brother XX, what did Your Majesty say to you? Would you like to tell me a few words? Then we plan to make a plan to win a lot of wealth?" Such words.

They dare to use other people's heads to guarantee that these words will be relayed to the Holy Son of Heaven by Hantong Eagle Dog that night!

They don't even need to be told by the eagle dogs, they will go to the palace to face the holy that day, saying that so-and-so has bad intentions and wants to make clichés from the mouth of the minister!

For a centralized authoritarian monarchy, it is very taboo for ministers to connect privately. If the connection involves the Son of Heaven, it will basically lead to a long life.

If a scheming hat is buckled down, let alone beheading, the whole family can't keep it!

This also led to the fact that although many senior officials had hints of the Son of Heaven, the problem was that Li Xuan actually said different things to everyone, not even the same thing.

Therefore, many senior officials do not know what other colleagues will do!

And as things went on, things became more and more complicated, even to the point where many senior officials who knew a little about the inside story couldn't understand it.

And most importantly, what exactly does the Son of Heaven want to do?
