"All the inspectors have been sent down. They have the power to re-determine criminal cases, supervise local officials, and report affairs. It is a bit inappropriate to place them under the Ministry of Punishment. I think it is better to establish an inspectorate with a dedicated person in charge. You
What do you think?"
After one sentence, the three of them stopped talking.
Inspectors are a newly emerged position. Their duties look a bit like traveling censors, except that they do not move around, but stay in the local area. Their rank is the same as that of the general managers of various places, and they are among the high-ranking local officials.
It may be said that they have no real power, but what they say can go straight to the court. It is a sharp sword that the court hangs over the heads of local officials. Anyone who dares not to take them seriously must be full of food.
On the way to seek death.
The reason why there is the duty of inspectors is that the emperor sets a path for the world, so inspectors came into being.
Now everyone can't see too much. The main reason is that in the last years of Daye, local wealthy families took control of the government and acted lawlessly. They set up inspection and envoy yamen in order to eliminate old abuses and make local officials restrain themselves.
The dispatch of supervisory envoys is jointly managed by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment, and the right to interpret powers and responsibilities belongs to Zhongshu Sheng. If an supervisory envoy is set up in the DPRK...
Apart from anything else, the censors were not happy in the first place. Their functions overlapped greatly, and the Ministry of Punishment also said that in the past, local criminal cases could be directly reported to the Ministry of Punishment, and the power of review was vested in Dali Temple.
.
If a major criminal case occurs, it will be discussed by the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai. This is the so-called joint trial of the three departments. Those who can reach this stage are not ordinary people and ordinary cases. Most of them are rebellions and officialdom.
A major case such as a case.
For example, Liu Wenjing's case, Yang Wenqian's rebellion case, and Gao Shen's case after Li Po ascended the throne all received this treatment...
Now that an inspector of various levels has been inserted in the middle, there has been a layer of separation between the Ministry of Punishment and the local government. If we set up an inspectorate again, wouldn't it be chaotic?
Wen Yanbo thought for a long time and then said: "Your Majesty, do you think this is a bit redundant? The Yushitai reported violations of the law, impeached hundreds of officials, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment questioned the officials and the people, so what does the Supervisory Commission do?"
Li Po smiled and said, "Then put the Censor's Office and the Supervisory Envoys' Office together in one place, and set up another Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the past, the imperial censor or important ministers would be sent to inspect the central and central supervision areas. There would often be interruptions in the middle for local officials to inspect.
I don’t know the majesty of the imperial court.
Now that we have set up supervisory envoys, it is more convenient to manage the place in the court, but the management of the court is still a bit chaotic. I think it is suitable to combine it with the Yushitai, what do you think?"
Several people fell silent again. The supervisory envoy was merged into the Yushitai, and the authority and responsibility of the Yushitai were immediately increased. Is this something the emperor had already thought about or was it a temporary decision?
What they didn't know was that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was actually an institution of the later dynasty, established to replace the Yushitai. In view of the prevalence of corruption, the supervisory power of the Yushitai was strengthened.
It is also one of the concrete manifestations of centralization...
Li Po had indeed thought about it, but he mainly focused on the fact that the imperial examination was not perfect and there were many cases of fraud. In addition, the country had not been established for a long time, and the officials had not yet gathered their minds and wanted to supervise as much as possible.
This was supposed to be Feng Deyi's time to show off, but unfortunately he drank too much and his head was a little unclear.
The first person to speak was Xiao Yu, "Your Majesty, this move is just right at the right time, but can your Majesty allow me to go back to discuss it... Especially the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how did your Majesty come up with this name? It doesn't sound very good.
Duanyan, setting it up will inevitably damage its authority, right?"
Li Po thought for a while and said, "Then you will go back and discuss it later..."
………………
The monarch and his ministers ate and drank, and exchanged few idle words. When Wen Yanbo and the others left the Manlu Palace, both Wen Yanbo and Xiao Yu had a lawsuit on their foreheads, and only Feng Deyi was relatively relaxed.
Most of those things have nothing to do with Menxiasheng. The nature of Menxiasheng determines that it is difficult for them to get involved in practical matters. They can just open their mouths on some important matters.
Seeing the drunken Feng Lun being helped away by someone, the other two people looked at each other and saw a bit of envy in each other's eyes.
……………………
Mrs. Chu's Mansion, the main reception hall.
Sun Wuji, the minister of Dali Temple, was talking to his sister Changsun.
Changsun Wuji came to visit. The owner of the mansion, Li Xiuning, only showed his face and left, leaving the two brothers and sister talking.
Changsun Wuji looked at his sister and felt that she looked pretty good. When she lived alone in his house before, she was always languid and uninterested in anything. She would definitely get sick after a long time.
He looked much better now, and he sighed inwardly, regretting it. If he had not interacted with the King of Qin Li Shimin in Luoyang at that time, his sister would not have met Li Shimin.
It was originally a good marriage, but I never expected it to turn out like this.
He and his sister have been dependent on each other since they were young, and it goes without saying that emotionally, so he feels more and more sorry for his sister.
Changsun... how should I put it? She has a slim figure and was originally a bit plump. After the twists and turns of the past few years, she has lost a lot of weight and looks a bit weak.
However, she has an authentic Xianbei appearance, with fairer skin than Han people, deep facial features, and different-colored eyes. Her frame is large and her body is uneven. Compared with ordinary Han women, she can be called exaggerated.
The bloodline of the Xianbei people always hides many tough and violent elements, so although she always looks a little lethargic and wilted, she has nothing to do with being miserable.
………………
Changsun Wuji asked his sister about her diet and daily life.
After asking too many questions, Changsun couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother is rarely so nagging. If you don't know, you might think I have been wronged here... Brother is here today, but you want to take me back?"
Changsun said, her voice sounded a little hoarse, but the volume was definitely not low, and her words were pronounced clearly, as if there was a kind of power contained in it that made people have to listen.
Changsun Wuji nodded, "I can't hide anything from my sister. If you stay here for a long time, it's still a little... inconvenient for me. Why don't you go home with me..."
His words were immediately interrupted by his sister, "Brother and uncle have reconciled?"
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that we are going to set up another family, but it doesn't matter. We haven't had much contact with them in recent years. As long as they don't bother us, just treat them as strangers."
These words will not fool the Changsun family. After all, she has been the Princess of Qin, but now she does not know much about the situation in the DPRK.
So the topic turned back, Changsun thought about it and said: "Brother, you should take care of yourself, don't worry about me, I live here very well...
Brother should know that when dynasties change, many people are separated from their wives and children, and their families are destroyed. Although I have suffered a little bit, I still have my brother here. God has been generous to me, so I don’t need to expect too much.
My brother used to talk a lot about truths, but now he may be confused if he cares about him. As a brother and I, we can still say some things safely now, which shows the magnanimity of today. Just follow the steps and don't think too much.
.
I can't help my brother now, and I still worry about him. I only hope that my brother can make achievements in his official career, and then I will feel more at ease living here, don't you think so, brother?"
This is the truth. After hearing this, Changsun Wuji hesitated to speak. He looked around and looked a bit like a thief. When he saw that there was no one there, he lowered his voice and said: "Amei, you don't need to worry about your official career. Everything is the same."
Everything is going well, but the people there have also stopped and they don't come to embarrass me anymore, so I want to take my sister back.
That’s it…”
Changsun Wuji raised his head and looked at the girl who was listening attentively, and then said awkwardly: "His Majesty often comes to the mansion, I'm afraid..."
Changsun immediately straightened up his waist and his chest became even more majestic. He glared at his brother with some embarrassment, his weak and weak posture disappeared, and he immediately showed some majesty.
"There are so many women in the house who were favored back then. Why would I fall into the eyes of others? Brother, I should think of something else...
These days, my uncle and my sister have sent people to visit us. Since we have cut off all contact there, I might as well go back to my uncle's family. I heard that the Gao family and the Wang family are quite scattered now, so this is an opportunity for us to form a good relationship."
Changsun Wuji's brother and sister actually have two half-sisters.
The people they married were not simple. The eldest sister married Wang Shao, the Duke of Wei in the former Sui Dynasty, and a member of the Wang family in Jinyang. Now Wang Shao is dead, and the eldest son Wang Shilong also died of illness in Luoyang a few years ago, but this family
people are still there.
The other was married to Zhang Cong, the general of the left-leading army guard. Zhang Cong was from Wuwei. He was the most courageous of the three armies and was one of Li Yuan's old Taiyuan friends.
He once accompanied Li Shimin to defeat Xue Ju, Xue Rengao and his son, also moved to fight in Shu, and even led troops to fight the King of Han across the river. He was one of the top generals in Tiance Mansion.
When he was in Li Yuan, he was promoted to Kaifu and General Hussar...
Now Zhang Cong is similar to others. They all stay in the capital to look for opportunities, but are not allowed to go out to lead troops.
Therefore, the Changsun Wuji brothers and sisters now seem to be alone and without any outside help, but the nobility is like this, and the intricate nepotism is unimaginable to outsiders.
They didn't interact with each other before, because they didn't dare to get close, for fear of being implicated or implicating others. Now that their careers have improved, the rumors have gradually passed, and they can start walking around again.
For example, everyone heard that the Changsun family had moved into Madam Chu's Mansion. Even if they had some scruples and couldn't come forward themselves, they all sent people to visit her.
It's not really a help in times of need, but it does have a strong meaning of joining a group to keep warm.
Seeing his sister worrying about him in turn, Changsun Wuji felt very sad. He couldn't help but encourage himself secretly. He must work harder so that no one would dare to look down upon him, so that he could protect his family well.
………………
The elder brother and sister were whispering here. In the back house of the mansion, Li Xiuning also saw a person who had returned from a long journey.
