The 279th section of the imperial censors with outstanding combat effectiveness (1)
After sending Yuan Ang away, Liu Che immediately made a decision.++++
"Prepare the car!" Liu Che called for Wang Dao and ordered: "I am going to visit the imperial censor!"
To handle this matter well, Chao Cuo must cooperate.
The reason is very simple. At this time, the imperial censor's office is known as the second prime minister, and he can take care of many things.
According to the Han Dynasty system: 'The Yushi Dafu, who is ranked as the prime minister, upholds the laws and regulations, coordinates with his duties, is in charge of all officials, and supervises each other from top to bottom!'
Therefore, since the Taiwei officer was abandoned, the Yushi doctor followed the situation and squeezed into the ranks of the three princes.
What is San Gong?
"Spring and Autumn" says: Who are the three princes? What are the phases of the emperor? What are the three phases of the emperor? From Shaanxi to the east, the princess of Zhou will come to him; from Shaanxi to the west, he will call the princess, and they will be in harmony with each other!
In the Han Dynasty, the imperial censor did have actual authority over the three princes!
Basically, you can think of the Yushi Dafu Yamen as a combination of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection + the General Office of the Central Committee + the Secretariat and part of the Organization Department of the Central Committee.
Because the power of the imperial censor was very important in the Han Dynasty, people at that time often combined the prime minister's palace and the imperial censor's office into two mansions.
Whether in Han books, historical records, or Sanfu Huangtu, such statements are common.
Half an hour later, Liu Che's carriage stopped in front of the imperial censor's office.
As early as more than a quarter of an hour before Liu Che arrived, the messenger who had rushed to report the news had already informed Chao Cuo, the imperial censor.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Che got out of the car, Chao Cuo led forty-five assistant officials from the imperial censor's office to greet him.
"I'm here to pay my respects to you!" Chao Cuo stepped forward and bowed to Liu Che.
"Chao Gong, please get up quickly..." Liu Che quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"My dear, please..." Chao Cuo lowered his head and said.
"Thank you!" Liu Che smiled and entered the gate of the Imperial Censor's Yamen side by side with Chao Cuo.
In the Han Dynasty, there was only a wall separating the imperial censor's office and the prime minister's palace. In fact, both were built within the palace wall near the north gate of Weiyang Palace.
In fact, some of the subordinate officials of these two yamen simply worked in the palace.
For example, the Yushi Cheng of the Yushi Dafu Yamen was in charge of all the affairs in the palace. You have to know that at this time, not all the palace was filled with eunuchs. There were also a large number of censors, ministers, eunuchs and attendants.
There are also Langzhong and the emperor's personal attendants. These officials are all civil servants!
Therefore, the management power of these people fell on the censor Cheng.
Liu Che raised his head and looked at the inside and outside of the Imperial Censor's Yamen.
I have to admit that the Yushi Dafu Yamen is much more grand than the Neishi Yamen.
All the people standing guard at the door were guards from the Forbidden Army.
The entire interior of the Yamen is completely an extension of the palace.
There are countless attic palaces, and hundreds of officials, big and small, shuttle through them. Officials from other yamen and counties all over the world who come to do business are like carps crossing the river, stretching endlessly.
Liu Che just took a cursory look, and by visual inspection, the entire Yushi Dafu Yamen covered an area of at least one thousand acres.
In this huge organization, there are forty-five court officials who are qualified to go to court and express opinions, and there are other assistants, subordinate officials and handymen who do errands. The number is at least ten times that, plus cleaning
Guards, the servants who organize the copywriting, there are at least a thousand people who live in this yamen and eat public food.
No wonder that in his previous life, Chao mistakenly became the imperial censor, and he was like a wild horse running wild, and no one could stop him.
The authority of this yamen is really too heavy!
As soon as Chao Cuo took over, he immediately felt like a fish in water and displayed his super combat effectiveness.
"Family..." Chao Cuo saw that Liu Che was in a daze as he looked at the crowds of people coming and going in the Yamen of the Imperial Censor, and explained at the side: "It's coming to the end of the year, and the censors in the prefectures and counties all over the world, as well as the censors stationed in various vassal states, are all here."
I’m back. In addition, this year is the first major examination year since I took the throne. Therefore, the governors from various places will come to Beijing to report on their duties one after another, so I will be a little busier here..."
Liu Che nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chao..."
"I dare not. It is the duty of a minister to serve His Majesty!" Chao Cuo responded with a smile.
Regarding Liu Che, the prince, Chao Cuo now basically maintains a neutral attitude.
As long as the prince doesn't come to ruin his plan, then he can play whatever he wants!
Chao Cuo only wanted to succeed in cutting down the vassal vassal and leave his name in history, so that he could be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, so that future generations would worship him for his great achievements.
Apart from that, he wants nothing more!
only……
"The prince came here today. I'm afraid something happened..." Chao Cuo was certainly not stupid. The prince suddenly came to visit. If there was nothing wrong, what a ghost!
And the person in front of me is notoriously restless.
In the past six months, I have been receiving favors and taking exams to increase my reputation. I even increased my reputation to Hedong and created a Han Ding.
Looking at the entire history of the Han Dynasty, there is only one person like the one in front of him who can work hard and love hard and still achieve results!
Sometimes, Chao Cuo couldn't help but think that after all this tossing, there was no guarantee that some kind of trap wouldn't be discovered.
It will look better then!
But then again, even if the prince of the Liu family pokes a hole in the sky, the most he can do is eat a meal and die.
The Han Dynasty has been in existence for more than fifty-three years, and has experienced three emperors and one queen, but there is no precedent for deposing a prince!
With this in mind, the prime minister and his assistant officers accompanied Liu Che to a secluded hall in the Yamen of the Imperial Censor.
"Please take a seat..." Chao Cuo politely invited Liu Che to the chief's seat. After settling down, he led the ministers to sit on their seats.
Liu Che sat down and took a leisurely sip of tea from the Yushi doctor's office, and then asked: "Please Chao Gong recommend one or two outstanding people to me!"
Chao Cuo didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Che Gourd was selling, but it was the duty of a minister to introduce ministers to the prince.
So Chao Cuo stood up patiently, bowed to Liu Che, and introduced him.
"My dear... this person is my deputy, Xue Cai from Henan County. In the eleventh year, he was elected as the magistrate of Anyang County. In the thirteenth year, he was appointed as the Sima of Heshang County. He was moved to be the censor of Shu County. He then held various positions.
In order to serve as the censor, the censor of Shiquge Temple is now the censor, who is in charge of the affairs of the palace. Your majesty always thinks of you as a good person!" A censor in crimson clothes with a Chinese character and a face in his forties stood up and gave Liu Che a slight smile.
With a smile, he bowed and said, "My lord, Cai, pays homage to my family! May your family be safe!"
"An!" Liu Che quickly stood up.
There are always forty-five people in the imperial censor’s office in Beijing.
According to the system, these forty-five people are divided into five Cao Cao. The chief officers of the five Cao Cao are called Shi Yushi, who are respectively in charge of the power of supervision and impeachment of each Cao Cao.
The person in charge of these five Cao is Yu Shicheng.
However, in the Han Dynasty, there were actually two censors.
One is called Yu Shicheng, who is responsible for Xue Cai's work, assisting the Yushi doctor and managing the affairs of the palace. He is also responsible for communicating with Lantai and handling various emperor's edicts and documents.
The authority is not small!
But Liu Che had no intention of making friends with this person at the moment.
Probably because the real powerful person, the big boss who holds the power, and Liu Che's most important goal here has not yet appeared.
Chao Cuo took a step back, pointed at a man in his fifties who was relatively older among the many censors, and introduced: "Your Highness, this man is also my deputy, Yang Fen from Hanoi, who has been serving as a servant for fourteen years.
Zhong, because he served the late emperor diligently, was promoted to a high official, and was later appointed as the censor of Chu State. He was highly praised by the late king of Chu Yi and recommended him to the late emperor, so he was recalled to Chang'an and appointed as censor Zhongcheng for eight years now! All the officials of the prefectures and states in the world have been from this
Put him in public custody!”
"Even Your Majesty, I think that elders are always respected and respected by me!" Chao Cuo said sincerely.
"My lord, I wish you all the best!" Yang Fen bowed slightly and bowed, but there was no expression on his face, and he always had a straight face.
Liu Che listened and looked at Yang Fen carefully.
Although this Yushi Zhongcheng is considered to be an older one among many Yushi, he is still energetic, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, and high cheekbones. He looks a bit thin, but he has an air of calmness.
His aura of authority and overall image are more similar to that of the former Prime Minister of China who was known as the Landmine Array.
Liu Che smiled slightly: "Zhongcheng is very polite. I have often heard people say that Zhongcheng Yang Fen is serious about words and smiles. When I saw him today, he lived up to his reputation..."
This person is the person Liu Che is mainly looking for here.
Because according to the Han Dynasty system, Yushi Zhongcheng was the deputy to the Yushi doctor. Although his rank was no more than a thousand stones, he had the power to supervise all officials in the world and impeach the nine ministers.
It is no exaggeration to say that when meeting this person, even a two-thousand-stone border official would have to smile in front of him!
At this time, Censor Zhongcheng was the Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Western Han Dynasty!
In the future, the authority of Yushi Zhongcheng continued to expand.
When Xiaozhu was in power, he set up a department of governors, and these governors were under the control of the censor Zhongcheng!
Even now, the predecessor of the governor, the county censor and the censors of various countries, are all under the control of the censor!
The so-called supervisory censor.
This is an official position invented by Qin Shihuang. Like the imperial censor, it is a product created to strengthen centralization of power.
In the Han Dynasty, this system was still followed to strengthen the central government's control over local areas and prevent princes, kings and local governors from getting out of hand.
Otherwise, with the power of the various princes, kings and county guards, if they don't have a clear deterrent effect, if they want to kill people, want to rob people's girls, the world will be ruined by guys like them?
According to what Xia Houxuan later said during the Three Kingdoms period, the previous kings were like this, so they devoted themselves to their duties and unified their industry. Since the Qin Dynasty, they did not follow the holy way, used their official positions privately, and treated their subordinates as traitors; they were afraid of the officials.
If there is no repair, supervisors and shepherds are set up to direct them, and they are afraid of the appearance of the supervisors, so they set up supervisors and supervisors to correct them.
.
This is Xiahou Xuan's analysis of the censorship of the Western Han Dynasty in his exchange with Sima Yi before he became Cao Wei's general to conquer the west.
From this we can still get a glimpse of the functions of the supervisory censor during the Western Han Dynasty.
Of course, in the eyes of the powerful officials of the Three Kingdoms, this supervisory censor is really bad. Setting up this position is disrespectful to us 'kind gentry', and it is the tyranny of the Qin State, which is very bad!
But at this time, the Han Dynasty court paid more and more attention to the supervisory censor and the censor Zhongcheng who led the supervisory censor.
In the following decades, Yushi Zhongcheng would replace Yushi Dafu and become one of the three princes.
It is basically equivalent to the secretary of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission of the later dynasties entering the elders and obtaining voting rights. It is an unstoppable and necessary trend! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
ps: Let’s update 3000 today. I haven’t figured out how to write the following content. It mainly involves the operation, responsibilities and activities of an organization before 2000. Although I have a general understanding of the Yushi Dafu Yamen, I don’t want to think about it. Supplement, therefore, I am looking for some various information and records. I have been soaking in old papers for a long time today, and I will probably have to look through them tomorrow~
After all, although it is a novel, I don’t want history to respect me in terms of historical facts -0-
