It is not difficult to do things, but it is difficult to coordinate interpersonal relationships and balance the interests of all parties. The same principle applies to ancient and modern times.
Even if Zhao Xi is a king, he still needs coordination and balance, especially in a dynasty like the Song Dynasty.
This time, for the Song Dynasty court, promoting the opening of the supervisory office was probably the most unanimous political event for the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers, and there was no noise in the entire court.
Perhaps in the eyes of certain courtiers, all this was the result of the far-reaching planning of the official family. After all, this was what the official family was committed to promoting.
In fact, in Zhao Xi's view, the promotion of the supervision system has already been completed, and even if there are a few opponents, it will not cause waves. There is no rush for this moment.
Regarding the training for preparing to take office as supervisors, Zhao Xi does not simply train them to supervise regulations and regulations, but more importantly, to instill a sense of belief, loyalty and the concept of family and country.
The brainwashing belief indoctrination method of later generations has already taken shape in the martial arts hall.
It is much easier for soldiers and generals to have this concept take root in their minds than for censors. After all, these censors have accepted the teachings of the so-called sages and have been infected by the atmosphere of supremacy of scholars in the country.
Therefore, Zhao Xi is really not in a hurry, and he even wants to promote the reform of the official system simultaneously.
Now there is a passionate demand for the opening of government offices.
This time, it really wasn't planned.
The development and changes of things follow certain laws. It is better to say that Zhao Xi's plan to promote supervision at Manchaotang is the inevitable development of things.
Countless accidents and plans, and after a long period of preparation, we have naturally reached this step.
Without the help of Empress Dowager Cao to win over the sixth family when he was young, he would not have the capital to have a say in Guangnan Manganese Mine and Dali Mining City.
Without Wan Yinshan's exercise to crush the imperial army led by Wen Yanbo and his chance encounter with Fu Bi, it would not have left a deep impression on Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi.
It was also because of that time that Zhao Xi's southern expedition subtly began to solve the problem of redundant troops in the country.
Then he took the lead in currency disputes, disaster years wars, and rebel rebellions, and gradually built a workshop and city system that could control the country.
It was also from that time that Zhao Xi gradually gained a force that was absolutely loyal to him, as well as a new military force that could sweep across the entire era.
It seemed that in an instant, he was no longer something that the courtiers could contend with.
He truly experienced the southern and northern wars, and completely established the image of a martial and powerful emperor.
At the same time, he played court officials into applause more than once, making the court officials truly fear him.
Taking advantage of the situation, leveraging the power, digging holes, filling holes, burying people, once one thing is done, the courtiers will basically be in awe and become more and more afraid of their own methods.
Only then did Han Qi and Wen Yanbo play tricks but had to find another way to explain. Only then did the Imperial City Secretary interfere with the government affairs, but no one objected. They had to promote supervision and use this euphemistic method to prevent the Imperial City Secretary from intervening in the government affairs.
.
Because no one knows how many things the Imperial City Division is handling!
Of course, now that this step has been reached, Zhao Xi has no reason to stop it. Using the Supervisory Yamen as an experimental field for official reform is exactly what he wants.
Therefore, even if the Supervisory Yamen is officially opened, the Supervisory Officer will naturally launch it in the form of a pilot project for the new official system.
Establish a general inspector, who is a second-grade or third-grade official. In addition to retaining the official salary of the second-grade and third-grade officials, the average salary of all second-grade and third-grade officials in the dynasty will be used as a unified salary.
salary, and other various types of post-jobs have been cancelled.
Fan Chunren was the first chief inspector of Shangzhou government office, and his official rank was Congsanpin.
There are three deputy chief inspectors, one of whom is also the chief editor of internal affairs. The official rank is Congsanpin or Zheng4pin. The official salary of Congsanpin and Zheng4pin is also the official salary. The official salary of Congsanpin and Zheng4pin is based on the national and dynasty Congsanpin and Zheng4pin.
The average number is used as post-employment salary.
Cai Que has truly entered the level of a senior official in the imperial court.
All post-level salaries will no longer follow the person forever, but will only change with his or her functions. At the same time, the same is true for official salary and salary.
Once you become an official, your official salary will be retained, but your postal salary will be reduced by half.
Similarly, when receiving rewards and punishments from the court, if the official is not demoted, the punishment will be reflected in the increase or decrease in the postal salary. If the official is demoted, the punishment will be reflected in both the official and postal salaries.
All prefectures, counties and counties in the country have set up supervision yamen dispatched agencies. All expenses incurred by the resident supervisors will be borne by the supervision headquarters and have no relationship with the local state governments.
Moreover, all supervisors are subject to a five-year rotation system, that is, supervisors may not serve more than five years in one location, state, or county, or even along the way.
Each road has one road supervisor and two patrol supervisors. Each prefecture has one governor and two deputy supervisors, and so on, all the way to the county.
There are a number of supervisory officials at each level. The number of supervisors to be dispatched is determined based on factors such as the geographical size and importance of military routes.
The official rank of all road supervisors at the first level is unified to the fourth rank or from the fourth rank, and the calculation method of salary is the same as that of the general inspector's office.
The supervisory authority at the road level is limited to prefectures, counties, and officials. Those involved in the court officials at the road level will be investigated by the General Supervisory Office... to prevent the road supervisors from having too much power and interfering with the political affairs of the local state government.
Similarly, supervisory authority at the prefectural level is limited to county officials below the first prefecture level.
In the supervisory system, the old rules of dispatching titles by the state power have been abandoned. In other words, taking up the position of supervisory yamen will also correspond to the corresponding official rank.
All supervisory yamen have no right to interfere with the appointment of officials of prefectures, counties, and counties, and prefectures and counties have no right to interfere with the investigation and conviction of supervisory yamen.
Those who have been convicted will be executed by the Supervisory Yamen in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. The execution will be carried out by specialized execution officers, all of whom are composed of soldiers who are no longer able to fight due to various reasons.
In this way, the supervision system truly becomes an independent system.
At the same time, supervisors are also stationed in the military garrison in each state government. They belong to the supervisory office of the state government. They do not participate in the work of the military and are only responsible for investigating and handling illegal activities.
The entire supervisory yamen of the dynasty was only responsible for investigation and investigation matters, and did not participate in convictions. The evidence obtained after the investigation was formed into a file and transferred to the yamen of the Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple for conviction.
Local state government officials are no longer responsible for the criminal matters of persons with official status, and the supervisory yamen are responsible for them.
At the same time, the imperial court opened a channel for local officials to report to the supervisory yamen, forming a mechanism for mutual supervision between local state officials and the supervisory yamen.
The supervisory yamen is directly responsible to the king, while the local officials correspond to the political affairs hall of the imperial court, which will be the political affairs and cabinet after the reform of the official system in the future.
In this system, there are checks and balances between the monarch and his ministers who rise to the top.
The most important point in the entire process is the separation of criminalization and disposal powers between the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are only responsible for convictions. According to different official positions, the final disposal power belongs to the court and the king.
In the final analysis, this is a concrete manifestation of centralization of power, which is more conducive to the imperial court's rule over local state capitals.
This series of processes, decentralization...~checks and balances...centralization of power, ultimately reflect the will of the king or the court.
