The 280th section of the imperial censors with outstanding combat effectiveness (2)
Chao Cuo went on to introduce thirteen censors to Liu Che.[
These people either hold the title of Censor of a certain Cao, or they also hold the position of Censor of a certain Cao.
Dang, like Xue Cai and Yang Fen, all have one thing in common, they all have a name in the palace.
The prefix of the imperial censor being given to the official palace was, in the Han Dynasty, equivalent to the people in later generations becoming members of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, with the right to speak and vote, and to directly complain if they saw something they didn't like.
These fifteen censors with titles in the Imperial Palace are the real elites and powerful figures in the Censor-Doctor Yamen.
The remaining Censor No. 30 is basically just playing soy sauce, at most assisting someone in the palace to deal with or investigate something.
But don’t underestimate them!
The Han Dynasty was an era of continuous expansion of monarchy.
In order to strengthen the monarch's power, the emperor constantly strengthened the authority of the censor.
By the middle of Xiaozhu's reign, he had a censor who pointed directly at the embroidered messengers, and could even mobilize county police teams to suppress rebels and bandits.
The famous Jiang Chong even took a Han prince to be buried with him!
At this time, these low-key censors, who are inconspicuous in appearance, are also quite effective in fighting.
Many people themselves have supervisory powers in some key yamen.
For example, key departments such as Shaofu and Neishi Yamen.
This is just like in later generations, although a certain deputy mayor is ranked low and has not been elected, the power in his hands is not small at all!
After listening to Chao Cuo's introduction, Liu Che forcibly memorized the names, appearances, place of origin, and resumes of these fifteen people.
There is no harm in memorizing the people who talk about matters in a powerful organization like the Yushi Dafu Yamen. You may need to ask one of them for help one day.
"I came here today. I am dissatisfied with Mr. Chao. I really want to ask Mr. Chao to help me with something..." Liu Che raised his hands and smiled at Chao Cuo: "I wonder if Mr. Chao is willing?"
Chao Cuo listened to Liu Che's words. In front of his subordinates, did he dare to say that he didn't want to?
Of course, if he could be blackmailed so easily, Chao Cuo would not be able to get into his current position.
Chao Cuo looked at the censors, smiled, and said: "Young masters, go and do your own business. If you have something to do, someone will summon you!"
"No!" All the censors stood up one after another, bowed to Liu Che and Chao Cuo, and then stepped back.
After all the censors had left, Chao Cuo asked his servants to close the doors and windows, and at the same time waved all the servants and servants who were serving in the palace to leave.
"What's going on at home?" After the whole hall became quiet, Chao Cuo turned around and looked at Liu Che. His eyes were extremely solemn.
Chao Cuo naturally knew that Liu Che, a high-ranking prince, actually came to visit him personally and lowered his face to beg.
This matter is no small matter!
Maybe even he, the imperial censor, might not be able to hold it!
And he, Chao Cuo, has no serious relationship with the prince Liu Che.
It's not that Liu Che fell, he, the royal censor, didn't live in peace either.
On the contrary, if Liu Che falls, the person who will be harmed may be his mortal enemy Yuan Ang!
In this case, if Liu Che doesn't come up with something, Chao Cuo won't be too lazy to be the Holy Mother!
When Liu Che saw this scene, he also knew that it was time to show up.
But Liu Che was not worried at all about Chao Cuo's unwillingness to help.
The bureaucracy was Liu Che’s enemy, so how could it not be Chao Cuo’s enemy?
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Liu Che pondered for a moment, looked at Chao Cuo, and said: "I really came here to trouble Duke Chao. To be precise, I wanted to trouble Duke Chao's censor Zhongcheng..."
Liu Che repeated what Yuan Ang told him to Chao Cuo.
After listening to Liu Che's words, Chao Cuo began to think deeply.
Liu Che's intention, Chao Cuo knew very well, was simply to ask him to order Yang Fen, the censor Zhongcheng, to call all the county magistrates, county lieutenants and officials of the Neishi Yamen in Guanzhong for lectures.
Use the authority of Yushi Zhongcheng to put pressure on the county magistrates in Guanzhong.
Let these county magistrates go back and take good care of the pavilion chiefs and tourists under their command.
This method is also the only solution Liu Che can think of now.
As the saying goes, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.
The entire officialdom is a complete biological chain.
Standing at the top of the food chain are undoubtedly members of the royal family like Liu Che.
However, sometimes they are big and may not be able to deal with small shrimps.
Just like a lion can't help a mouse burrowing.
The only people who can really control the pavilion chiefs and governors in the counties in Guanzhong are their respective immediate superiors, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.
Because, under the Han Dynasty system, the pavilion chief and youjiao were appointed and removed by the county magistrate.
The hats of these guys are in the hands of the county magistrate and county lieutenant above.
And the black gauze hats of the county magistrate and county lieutenant happened to be in the hands of the censor Zhongcheng.
Especially now that it is approaching the end of the year, performance appraisals are about to take place. Whether these county magistrates and county lieutenants will go home to farm or be promoted or rewarded and retained in office will all depend on the next meeting of ministers.
In this process, the Yushi Yamen will play an important role.
It is no exaggeration to say that the official careers of these county magistrates and county captains depend on the evaluation given by Yu Shi Zhongcheng.
"My family, this matter is a bit tricky..." Chao Cuo pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said to Liu Che, "Please forgive me for not being able to help!"
After hearing this, Liu Che's pupils widened slightly, and he couldn't help but feel some complaints in his heart.
But after thinking about it, Liu Che felt that this was normal.
After all, from the beginning to now, Liu Che and Chao Cuo have never peed in the same pot...
I don’t have the obligation to wipe Liu Chelai’s butt!
only……
If you can accept it calmly, then you are crazy!
Everyone has the idea that the earth must be revolving around me.
Whenever someone disobeys oneself, even ordinary people will feel a little uncomfortable. What's more, Liu Che is still a prince, and every person in power is a model of extreme ego and selfishness!
But there was really nothing Liu Che could do about Chao Cuo.
Settlement of accounts after the fall?
If everything remains unchanged, I will only have more than three months to live...
Therefore, Liu Che cursed in his heart and was about to stand up and leave, preparing to think of other ways.
All I could hear was Chao Cuo said: "My family, please don't worry. Please report carefully..."
Chao Cuo seemed to have seen Liu Che's inner world - as a minister who had served the emperor for more than 20 years, Chao Cuo obviously had a good understanding of the Liu family's way of thinking and brain circuits.
He sorted out his thoughts and bowed to Liu Che: "My family should know that more than a month ago, I was still the internal history officer. If I encountered this matter at that time, I would have nothing to say... But at this time, I am really powerless.
Not caught!"
When Liu Che heard this, he stopped complaining in his heart.
What Chao Cuo said seems to make sense.
The internal history at this time was the predecessor of Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng, and Jing Zhaoyi of the Xiaozhu Dynasty.
According to the political structure of the Han Dynasty, in fact, Neishi Yamen was actually a large county.
It's just that ordinary counties only have more than 20 county governments under their jurisdiction, and Neishi Yamen manages the entire seventy-five counties in Guanzhong, as well as the Chang'an and Gyeonggi areas and the Hangu Pass defense.
In this sense, Liu Che indeed seems to have found the wrong place.
It seems that the person who can really help him solve this matter should be Nei Shi!
but……
Chao Cuo is still perfunctory!
Liu Che's heart is as clear as a mirror!
Because, on the surface, in the realm of Guanzhong, in name, the Neishi Yamen really seems to be the emperor, followed by the Queen Mother, and I am the third oldest.
But in fact, the Chehou Xunchen of Chang'an has treated the internal history like a dog in the past few decades.
It's basically a yamen. I dare to reach out to the internal history.
For security, the lieutenant often intervened.
In local affairs, the prime minister, the imperial censor, or the young master, who has not interfered?
Sometimes, even the eunuchs in a palace can act tyrannically under the banner of such-and-such prince or such-and-such noble.
When he first became emperor, Deng Tong even directly issued orders to the Neishi Yamen.
This internal history has improved somewhat during the two years in Chao Cuo's hands, and he has become like a real Jiu Qing, rather than a plaything of aristocratic ministers.
Now that Chao Cuo has left Nei Shi Yamen, without Chao Cuo to keep him in check, who will give Nei Shi Yamen a good look?
Don't you see, in his previous life, Zhi was responsible for rectifying the order of Chang'an when he was the lieutenant, not the internal historian...
Precisely because Nei Shi Yamen looks good, but is actually just a kicker, therefore, in order to strengthen control over Guanzhong, Xiaozhushi divided Nei Shi into three parts.
Having said that, there are two types of perfunctory situations.
One is that Chao Cuo really doesn't want to interfere.
Another situation is that Chao Cuo may have a deal.
What exactly is that situation?
Liu Che looked at Chao Cuo, trying to find the answer from this guy's expression.
But it was a pity that Chao Cuo did not give him this opportunity. Instead, he noticed Liu Che's gaze, lowered his head, picked up the tea cup, and drank.
When Liu Che saw this, he secretly cursed the old fox, but on the surface he still had to maintain the appearance of a prince and maintain a gentle smile.
"It is said that Emperor Father wants to appoint Wei Ting as prime minister?" Liu Che asked cautiously.
"Haha..." Chao Cuo smiled mysteriously and said, "My family also knows that your Majesty indeed intends to make Zhang Tingwei the prime minister!"
Liu Che's heart dropped when he heard this.
Originally he thought that Chao Cuo might want to use his hand as the prince to promote Zhang Ou's position as prime minister as soon as possible, but he did not expect that the matter had been finalized. Unexpectedly, the edict of the feudal lord was already being drafted at this moment.
As soon as Zhang Ou was granted the title of Marquis, he immediately imitated the story of Shen Tujia and paid homage to the prime minister.
"What kind of deal does this Chao Cuo want to do with me?" Liu Che was constantly suspicious and guessing suspiciously.
Obviously, since the prime minister has nothing to do with it, the content of this transaction may be quite large. Liu Che may not be able to pay for the chips Chao Cuo wants!
But now that the matter has come to this, even if there is any loss, Liu Che feels that the only way he can do it is to hold his nose and swallow it.
Otherwise, if those businessmen really get connected, it will be nothing more than messing up the protective grain after the autumn harvest.
If it messes up the order in Guanzhong, makes people resentful, and even triggers a civil uprising, then Liu Che will be left with nothing to eat!
Chao Cuo seemed to feel that it was time to reveal his trump card. He took a sip of tea, smiled slightly and said, "My dear, do you know where I am from?"
Liu Che looked at him suspiciously.
Chao Cuo smiled slightly, stood up, and bowed: "I am a native of Yingchuan. When I was young, I was not abandoned by my mentor Zhang Gong.
The ministers were informed by Taichang, and then they embarked on an official career, which lasted twenty years!"
Chao Cuo seemed to be lost in memories: "When I was young, my father traveled to Nanyang to make a living. Most of the brothers from my father's generation died young, but my uncle kept his name. He left behind a son named Jin. When I was young, my eldest brother often accompanied me in games.
, who taught me how to read and write, like a brother or a father, it is a pity that this person has passed away! I am infinitely sad!"
Liu Che didn't understand what Chao Cuo wanted to say, but he still echoed: "Chao Gong is now the third Duke of the Han family, ranking at the top of the ministers. It will definitely be gratifying for Yuan Gong to be here!"
When Chao Cuo heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I have become enemies of everyone in the world along the way. I don't know how many princes want to kill me and then be quick!"
He looked at Liu Che and said with a smile: "I have long been determined to die. I only hope to fulfill my long-cherished wish in life and assist Your Majesty in clearing away the evil policies of the princes and making the world stable. Our Han family can wholeheartedly deal with the Xiongnu, the Chinese nation."
A powerful enemy, so that future generations will not have to worry about being exposed!"
In fact, since he studied Legalism and practiced Legalist radical policies, how could Chao Cuo not predict his own fate?
Even though Shang Jun was so trustworthy, Shang Jun was torn apart by a chariot before Xiaogong's body was even cold!
Wu Qi assisted the Chu State and helped the Chu State sweep away its decline. However, he was shot to death by random arrows from nobles at the funeral of the King of Chu!
Now that he had cut the cake of the nobles, princes and bureaucrats, Chao Cuo never thought that he could solve this problem.
The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden.
However, Chao Cuo was naturally not a saint or a perfect man.
He is not even a gentleman.
To achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes!
Now, with the completion of his layout, especially the fact that Zhang Ou is about to become the prime minister, there is no longer any resistance to the strategy of reducing the vassal status in the court.
The decisive battle between him and the princes is about to begin!
Whether you win or lose, it all depends on this fight!
However, Chao Cuo still couldn't worry about one thing.
Everyone says that a cunning rabbit has three burrows.
Chao Cuo naturally wanted to find a backer other than himself for his family.
Liu Che was somewhat touched after hearing Chao Cuo's words.
Liu Che could see clearly that Chao Cuo had come to his senses. Liu Che still admired Chao Cuo, a politician like Chao Cuo who risked his own life and wealth in order to realize his ambitions.
Regardless of Chao Cuo's character or anything else, at least with this one responsibility, Chao Cuo would be dozens of steps ahead of countless politicians in later generations!
In Liu Che's mind, politicians are those who take responsibility.
As for the guy who messes up things and only knows how to pass the buck and pass the blame to each other, he is not a politician, he is just a political stick at best!
"Whatever Mr. Chao wants to say, just say it directly. As long as I can do it, I will never shirk the responsibility!" Liu Che stood up and made a promise directly.
Chao Cuo laughed and said, "My poor eldest brother, I have a granddaughter who is thirteen years old. I would like to ask my family to take her as a bed warmer and quilt!" Chao Cuo was not polite and said directly.
If it were not for the tradition of the Han Dynasty, the royal family would not accept the daughter of an important minister. Chao Cuo even wanted to send his own daughter to Liu Che.
"This girl is in the backyard right now. You can watch her from home..." Chao Cuo raised his head and smiled.
Liu Che choked.
Of course he understood what Chao Cuo meant. If he wanted the imperial censor's office to take action, accepting a granddaughter from Chao Cuo's cousin would be the condition of the deal.
But……
Thirteen……
This will be a crime in future generations!
However, at this time, the legal age for marriage for women was twelve years old...
There are a lot of women who become mothers at the age of thirteen or fourteen...
Han law even stipulates that if you are over fifteen and do not marry, you will be fined!
For those who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, the government will force them to get married!
Therefore, the Western Han Dynasty is a paradise for lolicons! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
