Reorganization and restructuring, many officials heard these four words for the first time in their lives.
Maybe there is no one with little knowledge standing here.
If you have never eaten pork, have you ever seen a pig running?
I have never even seen a pig running, but at least I have heard of pigs.
Reform, these two words will never appear easily in a dynasty. It represents the subversion of the old order and the rise of the new order. Most dynasties will not change the system from the founding of the country until the end of the country.
system.
The reasons are very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
But generally speaking, it is nothing more than the ancients believed that changing the ancestral system is against family ethics and filial piety, and changing the system requires great courage and prestige. It requires an emperor to have strong control over the government and be enterprising enough.
, only by overcoming numerous obstacles and difficulties can we hope to succeed.
But the most important thing is that no one can guarantee whether the new system will be better than the old system after going through all kinds of difficulties and risks.
Once it leads to chaos in the world, the emperor will basically be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. No emperor would dare to take such a big risk to do this.
Due to various factors, when Li Chen mentioned the words "reorganization and reorganization", the whole court was in an uproar.
Even for a hardcore Donggong guy like Xu Changqing, this was the first time he knew about the restructuring.
His face was full of uncontrollable horror, and he looked at Li Chen on the imperial steps in horror, feeling like his head was filled with mud.
Why did His Highness suddenly want to change the system?
How to change this system?
Will all the people and officials in the world rise up to attack him?
These questions are also what the other ministers present want to ask.
Amid the uproar, a firm voice suddenly emerged.
"Your Highness, no! Absolutely no!"
One sentence attracted the attention of everyone, including Li Chen.
The person who came out to speak was a censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The imperial censor is an admonishment officer. His main duties include supervising officials and admonishing the emperor. The first of his responsibilities is to admonish the emperor's moral conduct. If they think the emperor's words and deeds are wrong, they can write a letter to advise him.
You can also refute in person.
Emperor Taizu once decreed that officials who spoke out should not be guilty of any crime based on their words.
Such a sentence gave the censors as a group very special powers.
They dare to say what others dare not say.
It's even said in a very ugly way.
But the emperor had nothing to do with them.
Unless the emperor lowers his face and forcibly commits a crime, but even then, he has to find other reasons instead of directly irritating himself with the other person's words and deeds and then commit a crime.
Li Chen looked at the imperial censor. Although he had never been in contact with this person, he knew his name.
Qian Shiyuan entered the imperial court as an official in the sixth year of Daxing after being recommended by the previous Imperial Censor Zuo Du. He has been working in the Imperial Examination Yuan for decades. He is famous for his toughness. The most famous one is
He contradicted Emperor Daxing three times and actually made him unable to come to Taiwan. In the end, he had to give up the decree.
And Qian Shiyuan was really strong-willed. He had no personal political leanings and had many opinions on the cabinet. He had impeached the cabinet several times for illegal things, and even Zhao Xuanji had read his memorial.
Although Qian Shiyuan became famous because of this, he has never held the position of censor of the left or right in his life. The two current censors are still his descendants.
For such people, Li Chen, like other emperors, had only one feeling: a headache.
