The conflict that occurred in the Baoding government office was quickly learned by Zhu Youxiao, but it was not reported by Jinyiwei or Dongchang. The main forces of both were in Jiangnan, and Xu Xianchun had just brought Chen Xin to the imperial prison.

, there was no time to recover.

It was Li Ruhua, the chief minister of the cabinet and a bachelor of the Central Cabinet, who took the initiative to report that the transmission of official documents between the government offices was far faster than the carriage of the injured Xu Xianchun.

"Why did you issue such an ambiguous order at that time? Take it down on the spot, let someone take it down on the spot! Didn't I tell the police to open a case and investigate and collect evidence?" After understanding what happened, Zhu You

The principal glared and scolded him.

He couldn't help but get angry. This was a big event, and it was his own people who were confronting each other. Fortunately, he didn't take action. Otherwise, if this history was passed down, he, the emperor, would become a laughing stock for thousands of years.

Li Ruhua remained silent and allowed the emperor to scold him angrily. Anyway, he was sitting and listening now, unlike before, standing all the time, which was really tiring.

After the emperor made a fuss, he probably had calmed down, and Li Ruhua said, "Your Majesty, I wanted the police to arrest me at the beginning, but the prefect is a Shangguan. He is in charge of the whole government, including the local police station. If we let him

If the police station arrests its own superior, once this case is made, I am afraid there will be no peace in the future!"

"Uh!" Li Ruhua's reason made her stunned, and then she frowned and thought.

He vaguely remembered that there were three types of police systems in later generations: one was autonomous, with no unified leadership agency in the country; one was centralized, where police handled cases independently and only accepted leadership from superiors, not local governments; and the other was centralized.

Between the two, there is both the leadership and management of the central department and the leadership and supervision of the local government. This is the system of the later dynasties.

Since Zhu Youxiao was born in this system, he naturally adopted this intermediate system when designing the police system of the Ming Empire. When he asked the police to arrest local officials, he did not expect this at all.

After Li Ruhua mentioned it, he vaguely remembered that it seemed that the police in China had indeed not arrested anyone who was an official. They were all involved in civil and criminal cases.

"Let me think about it, it seems that the thing that was most closely related to being an official in the past was Shuanggui!" Zhu Youxiao thought with uncertainty. His mind was now full of various plans and technical information. In the past, modern life

The memory is a little blurry.

"Shuanggui means... to explain the problem at the specified time and at the specified place. That's it." Zhu Youxiao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Li Ruhua, on the other hand, sat on a chair and watched silently.

The emperor dare not disturb you in the slightest.

"Shuanggui...which department's method is it?" Zhu Youxiao was thinking hard, but he couldn't think of it. It was obviously a very familiar thing, but suddenly he couldn't think of a name. This feeling made him extremely awkward.

, almost dying of panic.

"The Party is in power in China...the Party...by the way, it's the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Zhu Youxiao slapped his head and finally remembered. His action made Li Ruhua roll his eyes.

However, this answer is of no use.

The Discipline Inspection Commission is specifically aimed at officials. It has the same intelligence as the police, but it targets different targets. But at this moment, this answer is of no use to Zhu Youxiao. It is impossible for him to create a Discipline Inspection Commission in the Ming Dynasty.

"Which of the Jin Yiwei, police, and Metropolitan Procuratorate should this power be assigned to?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think of what Li Ruhua just said about the three parties competing for the right to detain the prefect Chen Xin.

These three parties are obviously aware of this, so they are so active. If it succeeds, it will set a precedent for them, and this right will belong to this department in the future.

After figuring this out, Zhu Youxiao finally understood the reason for their fight, but this did not help him solve the current problem.

Jinyiwei was first excluded by Zhu Youxiao. The power of this organization is too great. What should be done at this time is to restrict and add. Although Jinyiwei originally has this power, Zhu Youxiao does not want to expand and formalize it.

In his mind, the best reference for Jinyiwei is the National Security Bureau in later generations, and this is also Zhu Youxiao's positioning of it.

Moreover, the Jin Yiwei is a knife in the emperor's hand and does not belong to the normal judicial system. It is best not to interfere in the arrest of officials.

Now that Jinyiwei has been eliminated, only the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the police station are left. Li Ruhua's advice still rings in his ears, making Colonel Zhu You very hesitant about the police station.

What Li Ruhua said makes sense. If the police department really has this power, how can the future prefects and county magistrates lead their work? If they really have such powers and responsibilities, the prefects and county magistrates will probably depend on the police chief they choose.

Because of the enemy.

Moreover, the police system that Zhu Youxiao is most familiar with is exactly like this. There is no power to target officials for corruption and malfeasance. These are the tasks of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the police face citizens.

After ruling it out in this way, surprisingly there is only one option left.

"That's all, let's go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and set up an Independent Commission Against Corruption under the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be responsible for interrogations and arrests..." Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes and waved his hands to make a decision, but he suddenly paused again.

I remembered an official title called Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, which seemed to be an official leading the political and legal organization.

And this official position is also a member of the leadership team of each locality. This is the mistake made by the police department just now. Let me think about it, how does the Discipline Inspection Commission work? The boss of the Discipline Inspection Commission seems to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau, and the boss of the State Council is

They are at the same level, but their status is slightly lower. By analogy, they are the few bachelors behind the cabinet.

"No, no, it can't be calculated like this. Later generations will be party politics, which is different from now. It can't be copied mechanically." Zhu Youxiao did not reject his idea of ​​setting up a new department, "Well, let's leave it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Procuratorate supervises the reporting officials and files cases for review and arrest.”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Ruhua quickly recorded the emperor's decision.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is going to issue an attack." He was secretly surprised. Thinking about a power specifically targeting officials makes people jealous. In the future, I am afraid that all local officials will have to call the imperial censor daddy. This is so obvious.

The sharp sword hanging over my head.

"Well, since the judiciary is unified, the rights of the Jin Yiwei should also be limited." When Li Ruhua was secretly shocked, the emperor spoke again, but the words he said immediately made him stop writing, opening his mouth wide, and looking at the emperor stupidly.

Did I hear you right? Your Majesty wants to restrict the rights of the imperial guards? This is really the biggest joke in the two hundred years of Ming Dynasty.

"From now on, except for cases that endanger the security of the empire and the royal family...and..." Zhu Youxiao paused several times after saying this, "and...except for imperial prisoners, the Jin Yiwei will not be allowed to intervene, and all judicial power will be vested in the police."

, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple." Stumbling, Zhu Youxiao finally finished what he meant.

The unification of judicial power is an inevitable trend. Spy politics are not necessary. Jin Yiwei alone cannot coerce the world, and it will not help consolidate the political power. However, although Jin Yiwei does so many harms, it must be said that his convenience

Sex is something that no one can refuse, so in the end, Zhu Youxiao still left an opening - imperial convict.

"Similarly, Jin Yiwei does not interfere with local justice, and local justice is not allowed to interfere with Jin Yiwei's law enforcement. All cases related to these three types of behavior are handled by Jin Yiwei, and others are not allowed to interfere. Chief Assistant, these are all written in the cabinet order,

Tell the world clearly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Ruhua continued to write, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart. With the word "imperial offense", Jin Yiwei still has unlimited rights, but it is more hidden than before, without the emperor's explicit order.

Jinyiwei can no longer arrest officials and people arbitrarily.
