Valley Emperor

What does this comment from the Son of Heaven, coupled with having it circulated by the minister on duty, represent?

There may be many meanings in different books, but in this matter, everyone can guess the meaning of the Son of Heaven: I am ready to agree, but I cannot agree directly, you have to persuade me, and then improve the relevant Bylaws, so I can agree to it!

Everyone is not an idiot, why did so many ministers in the past have so many papers, the Holy Son of Heaven kept them in the middle, but this time, why did they make comments and let the ministers on duty circulate them.

This shows that there are no three hundred taels of silver here!

At this time, if the big guy still doesn't know what the Son of Heaven wants to do, then don't mess with the Tang officialdom, just go home and farm!

As a result, many documents supporting judicial reform flew into the palace like snowflakes!

In an instant, many important officials rushed forward as if they had heard the **** sharks!

Then one after another went to the paper to express their own opinions on judicial independence?

what opinion?

Naturally, it is an opinion that supports judicial independence!

Many people still put forward numerous suggestions for judicial reform, trying to leave their mark on this judicial reform, preferably to be noticed by the Son of Heaven.

It's just that Li Xuan didn't give any further instructions to the follow-up papers, but handed over all the papers to the imperial study for review.

On the surface, it was to be reviewed by the Imperial Study, but in fact, smart people could see that the Son of Heaven wanted the Imperial Study to come forward and come up with detailed judicial reform regulations.

Needless to say, the detailed regulations must be those that Li Xuan hinted before!

From the beginning to the end of this matter, in fact, Li Xuan did not publicly say even a single word of judicial reform. At most, when he summoned his ministers, he hinted at a little content. The public statement was only three words: "I know."

It is these three words, but it has promoted the biggest judicial reform after the unification of China by the entire Datang Empire!

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, in the early days, that is, the Anjian period and the Huangzhushan period, there was actually no perfect judicial system.

It was after Li Xuan established the nine-department system that the Inspectorate was created. However, at that time, the Inspectorate belonged to one of the nine departments. Before the reunification, Li Xuan adjusted the official system again, and made the Inspectorate independent. The Grand Court was established, followed by a new Ministry of Justice in the Cabinet.

This is the initial formation of the judicial system of the Tang Dynasty.

However, this judicial system is too involved with ordinary administrative agencies. The main reason is that although the personnel transfers of the three major agencies, the patrol police, the inspector, and the court, appear to be self-contained systems.

However, it has not been implemented in practice. The officials of the three agencies are transferred from each other, and officials from other departments will also be transferred to work in the aforementioned agencies.

Especially in institutions such as the patrol police, the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Justice, the mutual flow of their officials is very large.

At the same time, there is another point, that is, the dual leadership system. The local governors, prefects and other leaders have power over the inspectorates, courts, patrol police and other institutions within their jurisdiction.

This is very different from the tax department!

Although the Ministry of Taxation seems to be in the cabinet and is a department of the various cabinet ministries, its independence is very high. The officials of the Ministry of Taxation only circulate within the Ministry of Taxation. When it was divided and then belonged to the Ministry of Finance, the customs became independent and became a separate General Administration of Customs, which led to a large number of officials from the tax department leaving the tax department system and entering the general administrative system.

Few are able to leave the tax department and work in the executive branch.

Of course, special people like Chen Lifu are not included. He left the tax department and was transferred to Xingquan Mansion as the prefect.

As for the later transfer to the Finance Department, it is also an exception.

The turning point of his career was when he was personally ordered by Li Xuan that year, and then he left the tax department and entered the general administrative department. The director was then transferred to the post-reformed Songjiang prefecture, and finally served as the magistrate of a special county in Shanghai, becoming the head of the largest city in the Tang Empire.

If he does a good job in Shanghai, after his term expires, the next step may be to be promoted to the third grade.

And from the third rank, they already belong to the ranks of senior officials in the imperial officialdom, and they can return to Gyeonggi to serve as the director.

This Taoist does not refer to the Taoist of the Fourth Dao of Zhili. The four Taoists of Zhili belong to the ranks of the ministers of the frontier. The rank has been improved compared to when it was first established. .

And the Taoists in each province are not the great history of the frontier, but there are several types. One is the subordinate officials of the provincial governor. Chiefs, prefects of prefectures, and provinces usually have two to three Taoists.

Its main responsibility is to assist the governor in charge of the subordinate prefectures and counties!

The power structure of the provincial government of the Datang Empire is generally that the governor is in charge of all civil affairs and holds great power. Except for the military and taxation, he can manage everything else.

The governor assists the governor in charge of economic affairs, the inspector assists the Xu Fu in charge of judicial affairs, the Taoist assists the governor in charge of state government affairs, and the heads of departments under the governor's yamen directly manage their own affairs.

At the same time, the Provincial Inspectorate and the Provincial Court are also under the jurisdiction of the Governor, but not with full power, but under the dual jurisdiction of the Central Inspectorate.

There is really only one permanent establishment on the ground that has independent authority and can even be a governor, and that is the provincial tax bureau.

According to the general promotion of imperial officials, Chen Lifu is likely to become a third-rank in the next step. As for specific positions, the situation of ordinary Taoists in each province is relatively large, and he may also be transferred to the central government to serve as the director of some less important institutions. long.

But even so, it belongs to the ranks of high-level officials of the empire, and it is an opportunity that countless middle-level officials dream of.

After all, the higher you go, the more difficult it is.

At the level of middle-level officials, there are many positions, the strength is against the sky, and the luck is good. It is estimated that it will take a few years to go all the way to the fourth rank. However, when you are at the fourth rank, you want to go to another level and become from the third rank. It can be called a high-ranking official, so even a person like Chen Lifu has to suffer.

Of course, Chen Lifu can get promoted after he has spent enough time and accumulated enough qualifications. For most middle-level officials, this is almost impossible in this life.

From the local power structure, it can be seen that the current judicial system of the Tang Empire is very susceptible to interference from administrative power.

Provincial inspectors are all subject to interference by the governor, not to mention lower-level state and county inspectors, which are more vulnerable to interference from local officials.

And this kind of interference, in turn, affects the supervision of the officials of the Inspectorate!

One of the main tasks of the Inspectorate is to supervise hundreds of officials, but now it is easily interfered by administrative officials. Naturally, the task of supervising hundreds of officials is not very smooth.

And this is also one of the reasons why Li Xuan wants to change!

After Li Xuan asked Yushufang to handle judicial reform affairs, the ministers on duty in the imperial library took the lead, and the walking ministers also participated. Dozens of people were arguing. If he didn't know that the Son of Heaven was waiting for the result, he would have been fired for another year and a half. There will be no result.

After all, although everyone knows that judicial reform is inevitable, how to change it?

Everyone has a different opinion on this.

Fortunately, Liu Bagou personally came forward and deterred the other ministers. Don't make so many messy and careful thoughts. If it affects the judicial reform, be careful of the official hat.

Finally, three days later, Liu Bagou confronted the saint with the judicial reform regulations discussed by the ministers of the Imperial Study Room!

Li Xuan flipped through the charter handed over by Liu Bagou. He simply opened a few pages and looked at the general outline. He nodded slightly. These ministers were still very sensible. The content is written into this 'judicial reform charter' here.

There are hundreds of reform opinions, covering all aspects, but the two most important ones are personnel and finance.

In the past, the personnel relations between the Inspectorate, the Grand Court, and the Ministry of Justice were basically controlled by the Ministry of Personnel, but now they are taken from the Ministry of Personnel ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and become the judicial system to handle personnel on their own.

Of course, this self-handling is only limited to middle and low-level officials, and officials from the Inspectorate of the third rank and above still need to be discussed at the imperial study meeting, and Li Xuan personally decides.

When it comes to the highest-level positions from the second-rank and the positive second-rank, Li Xuan is still arbitrary.

At the same time, the reform this time is naturally not limited to the Inspectorate, but also includes the Grand Court.

In addition, in order to make the personnel of the judicial system completely independent from the ordinary administrative agencies, according to Li Xuan's suggestion, some officials proposed that two major examinations, the forensics and police officers, should be added to the annual general examination.

The police department is just incidental, in fact, it is to put the existing police examinations on the right track, and the changes are not big.

As for the Fascist, it is a brand-new establishment. Basically, only scholars majoring in the law department can apply for the exam. After passing the exam, they will be awarded the titles of 1, 2, 3, and ​​A jurist, which are equivalent to the titles of Jinshi and Ph.D.

Judges will be assigned to serve in three institutions: the Inspectorate, the Court or the Ministry of Justice.

At the same time, it is limited that officials from the above three departments can only circulate in these three departments, and can not be transferred to other administrative departments without purpose.

At the same time, the appointment and promotion of officials in the above three departments are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel, but are managed by the newly established Judicial Personnel Bureau. Accidentally, it must be Shi Wuyan, the censor of the Zuodu capital.

Why did Shi Wuyan support judicial reform when he died? Because once the reform is successful, he is the biggest winner!
