"Mouth cannon politics is unacceptable..."

With a long sigh of palpitation, Liu Hong rationally let go of his plan to transform Dr. Yu Shi into the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and turned to the next topic.

"There are vacancies in the current Tingwei and Shaofu, I don't know about the virtuous, and I also ask Taifu to teach me: Who can be in this second position in the Han family?"

Regarding Lang Zhongling, Liu Hong has reached an agreement with Chai Wu: tomorrow morning, Chai Wu will be the recommender and officially recommend Ling Mian to become Lang Zhongling.

There are two Jiuqing candidates left, and Liu Hong needs to consider carefully.

Different from Lang Zhongling's full-time nature, Tingwei and Shaofu have a very wide range of powers, and their candidates must be carefully considered.

Lang Zhongling, which can be understood as the emperor's armed bodyguard; Wei Wei can be regarded as the Minister of Security of the Capital; These two positions, even if Liu Hong is nepotistic and sends his henchmen to occupy the pit, its impact will not be too great - the captain of the bodyguard and the minister of armed forces, as long as they are loyal to Liu Hong.

As a judicial body, the powers of the court are no less than those of the first court of later generations; Shaofu is even more responsible for the initial regulation and control of the market.

In addition to the internal history, Shaofu and Tingwei are the most professional positions in the Han family, and they are also the easiest positions to see the ability of officials.

Fengchang and Zongzheng, Liu Hong can let Liu Budo deal with it, and Wei Wei can let Worm Da support him on the bright side, and secretly prepare for Qin Mu to take over; Lang Zhongling can pull the order to come over and occupy the pit and add gilding.

But Shaofu and Tingwei, even if Liu Hong wants people to occupy the pit, they must find people with excellent professional ability to be competent for these two jobs.

Especially Tingwei!

In the original history, Zhang Shizhi, the court commander of Emperor Wen, almost single-handedly laid the tone for the legal thinking of the entire Western Han Dynasty: the law is enough.

This means that if a person has not committed a crime, what crime he has committed, and what punishment he should receive, he should be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the law, and the offender should not be punished too severely or too lightly because the law enforcer is in too good or too bad mood.

Isn't this style familiar?

——This is the Western version of the law to follow, there is a law to follow, there is a law to follow, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated!

Such an advanced concept, which is almost comparable to the legal thought of later generations, has laid a solid foundation for the rule of law for Emperor Wen to win the hearts of the people all over the world, clarify the rule of officials, and finally create a prosperous era of Wenjing.

The evaluation of the people of the time "Zhang Shizhi is a court lieutenant, and there are no wronged people in the world" is enough to explain Zhang Shizhi's achievements.

In stark contrast, it is Zhang Shizhi's successor - Zhang Ou.

After the death of Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, who was frequently embarrassed by Zhang Shizhi when he was the prince, settled the accounts, released Zhang Shi as the king of Huainan, and appointed Zhang Ou as the court lieutenant.

The evaluation of Zhang Ou in the history books is 'the famous study of punishment, but the nature is universal, and it is not harsh...

The study of criminal names is the synonym for the doctrine of legalism in the Western Han Dynasty; In other words, Zhang Ou is an official from a Legalist background.

But as a judicial official, sitting in the Western Han Dynasty's 'cool official high-yielding area', Zhang Ou has gained a reputation as a benevolent elder?

If this doesn't explain the problem, then Zhang Ou's 'performance' is undoubtedly even more obvious - Zhang Ou has been a court lieutenant for more than ten years, and the number of death row prisoners executed by court lieutenant has not exceeded five fingers!

Could it be that Zhang Ou's ability was too strong, so that the number of crimes in the Jingdi Dynasty dropped significantly, and the number of death row prisoners was reduced to one every two years?

The actual situation is: after Zhang Ou was appointed as the captain of Tingwei, the crime rate of the Han family did not decrease, but increased sharply in a geometric upward trend!

From April of the first year of the first year of the first year (156 BC) after Emperor Jing succeeded to the throne, Emperor Jing granted the first amnesty to the world, and the second amnesty of the first month of the third year of the first year of the reign of Emperor Jing, and the number of criminals accumulated was about 15,000.

From the second amnesty of Emperor Jing Dynasty in January of the third year of the previous year to the third amnesty in the summer of the fourth year of the first year, in just over a year, the number of prisoners released by the third amnesty soared to nearly 40,000!

In comparison, the number of criminals released by the third amnesty has increased dramatically!

The reason for this is that in the third year of the previous Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Jing Liu Qi was appointed: Zhang Shizhi, the commander of the court, was the prime minister of Huainan, so the prince Zhang Ou was appointed as the court captain!

At first glance, Emperor Jing's move was just to appoint the prince's family Ling Chao as the internal history, and continue to install a team of henchmen in the court to take power; But judging from the results, the appointment of Zhang Ou as the court lieutenant may be a helpless move by Emperor Jing who is eager to implement the policy of cutting the feudal domain, and has no other way.

It can be seen from the number of people in the third amnesty alone: Zhang Ou served as a lieutenant for one year, and the crime rate of the Han family has at least doubled!

Under the laissez-faire of the 'loyal elder', the court lieutenant Zhang Ou, I don't know how many heinous death row prisoners were at large, and waited for amnesty again and again before Zhang Ou signed and passed the execution order.

The cost of crime has dropped directly to the point of 'squashing for two years in prison and waiting for the next amnesty of the Son of Heaven', and the law and order of the Han family has made great strides towards the era of bandits and thieves at the beginning of the founding of the country.

It was not until Emperor Jing discovered Zhao Yu, who had outstanding business ability, that the court lieutenant of the Han family got rid of the label of 'transparent person in law and government', and gradually restored to the status of Zhang Shizhi when he was the court lieutenant.

This is the energy of the Western Han Dynasty Tingwei - how good the right person can do, and how bad the wrong person can do!

This makes it so that for Liu Hong, who has great ambitions and is determined to do a great career, the selection of Tingwei must be cautious.

Especially now, in the early Western Han Dynasty, when the idea of the rule of law was vague, the judgment of officials was basically idealistic, and punishment was only based on personal subjective feelings and public opinion, Liu Hong needed a qualified court lieutenant to establish a sustainable and long-term legal system for the Han family.

Liu Hong's simplest choice is actually Zhang Shizhi, who has proven himself in history.

In history, Zhang Shizhi was after the death of Emperor Wen Chen Ping, that is, the year after that, he donated to the knight through the way of the official, worked hard in the palace for ten years, and finally got Yuan An's recommendation, so that he could officially become a leader.

And Liu Hong didn't do his homework in his last life, so he really can't remember where Zhang Shizhi is from...

For this historical celebrity, Liu Hong can only pray for his arrival, without causing too much butterfly effect, Zhang Shizhi can follow the historical trajectory two years later, obediently come to Chang'an, and then spend money to buy an official position of a horseman...

Now, Liu Hong can only find a person who is old enough and capable enough to serve as Tingweiqing, and support the situation of Tingwei before Zhang Shizhi grows up to become the 'founder of legal thought' in the Western Han Dynasty.

Wu Gong.

The candidate provided by Wang Ling to Liu Hong was the county guard of Henan, Wu Gong.

At first glance, when he heard this unfamiliar name, Liu Hong didn't react, and waited for Wang Ling to say the sentence 'Henan guards Wu Gong, and Zhiping is the first in the world, so he tastes learning with Li Si', Liu Hong reacted - isn't this the recommender of Jia Yi in history!

Historically, it was in the first year of Emperor Wen that the court lieutenant was vacant, and Emperor Wen heard that the Duke of Wu of Henan County was born in a legal family, and the law was quite fair, and Qin Xiang Li Si was still a fellow countryman, so he called him into the court as a court lieutenant.

Duke Wu was ordered to enter Chang'an, took advantage of the situation to make himself a county punctuality, and recommended Jia Yi, a young talent who proposed many good strategies to him, to Emperor Wen!

Nodding with a light smile, he reached a tacit understanding with Wang Ling on the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Hong looked at the back of Wang Ling and couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Jia Changsha..."

"It's been a long time to admire the great name!!
