Mao Jue hates corruption very much, and hates this kind of corruption that he hides from himself.

It's good that you don't involve the people around you, but your own problems are not big, and if you involve the officials you personally called, then ......

There is a problem.

Because this means that Mao Jue can't even restrain the officials he has recruited, and those people are not afraid of Mao Jue, and they are not worried about what Mao Jue will do to them.

In fact, this is also the reality.

Because Mao Jue, as a state assassin of 3,500 stones, only has administrative power, neither financial power, nor military power, nor judicial power.

If you want to use money, you have to go through the examination and approval of the branch set up by the Central Ministry of Finance in Liangzhou and the central government's reporting.

Of course, military power is something that Mao Jue himself can't avoid, and even Cao Ren doesn't dare to say that he holds military power in non-war times, so he can't avoid it.

The judicial power does not belong to Mao Jue, but the law in the state capital is responsible.

After the establishment of the Wei Empire, Guo Peng specifically ordered that Facao be the central judicial department stationed in the local area, and was not subject to the constraints of the local administrator.

Because Fa Cao belongs to the officials under the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Department, and Mao Jue is not actually subordinate to each other, so according to the procedure, Mao Jue has no ability to interfere in the judiciary.

According to this set of rules, it is equivalent to Mao Jie being the first to charge when doing things, and Mao Jie must also be the first to take the lead when something happens.

This is the embarrassing situation of the state assassin after being limited by Guo Peng's power.

The state assassins have not been without the difficulties of this aspect.

For example, Gu Yong, the assassin of Yangzhou, once lamented the difficulty of administration and asked Guo Peng to give him a certain amount of authority to deter local officials.

Youzhou Assassin Shi Xian Yufu also went to the table, complaining that he was hit by the lower officials, his majesty was completely lost, and it was difficult to rule the whole state, so he asked Guo Peng to take care of it.

All this, after the turmoil of the late Han Dynasty, people who decided their subordinates' affairs with one word felt that they were uncomfortable, felt that they had insufficient power and authority, and they were constrained to do things, and it was inconvenient to do all kinds of things.

But Guo Peng ignored them all.

Let you do what you want, how to embarrass is your business, the official naturally needs to dance with shackles, and I only need one result - the local government cannot fight the central government.

For this, it is not unacceptable to sacrifice something a little.

The lesser of two evils.

Or it is also that after this group of assassins made contributions, Guo Peng rewarded them in this way, so that they did not have to be so implicated.

But no matter how rewarded, Guo Peng could not elevate the status of the state assassin to the state of the late Han Dynasty.

The restriction of the power of the state and the county guards must be put into practice and implemented.

There can no longer be the late Han Dynasty's case of controlling a county as a small warlord and a state as a big warlord, how can it be possible to completely hand over military power, financial power, personnel power, and administrative power to one person?

Then this is not an empire, but a loose confederation.

It's okay to be alive by yourself, and you can maintain this state by relying on your strong military prestige, but it's hard to say after you're dead.

Therefore, the power restrictions on high-ranking officials like Assassin Shi must be very well placed.

Since it has been done so well, if there is a problem of corruption in the locality, the responsibility of the state assassin is actually superficial.

As long as this kind of thing proves that it has nothing to do with Mao Jue, that it was not instructed by him, and that the officials he recruited did not participate, then even if the officials in charge of money and justice were swept away by the emperor and washed in blood, Mao Jie would be safe.

If the officials around him are involved in corruption and Mao Jie does not know, then Mao Jie himself is not a crime, he will not be severely punished by the criminal law, his status will not be affected, and the administrative power will continue to be controlled.

But in the matter of unclear employment, Mao Jue has an unshirkable responsibility.

How to punish and how to give an explanation to the local victims, that is the emperor's business.

This kind of blow from the political level is what Mao Jue is most afraid of, after all, he has reached the top of the local officials in the state assassin history, and the next step must be to enter the central government and grasp the authority of the world.

If the efforts to enter the central government are delayed for this kind of thing, and the emperor cannot be approved to go to the central government to control the power of the world, then Mao Jue really has the urge to kill.

Although he can't and doesn't dare to kill.

However, this is the purpose of Guo someone, if the real power officials of 3,500 stone can coerce the subordinate officials, Guo will not be at ease.

Keeping the excuse to crack down on these feudal officials at any time, so that they can launch a strike at any time, so that they cannot develop and grow, cannot build their own political groups, and cannot take root in the local area, this is also Guo someone's idea.

In such a situation, the state assassins can only exercise their power with difficulty, and lead the whole state forward with difficulty, develop construction, develop the economy, develop the human environment, and use the administrative power in their hands to do things.

Now that something like this has happened, of course Mao Jue doesn't know, and of course he is very angry, and he wants to kill people with a sword and punish corrupt officials like he did in the former Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that he doesn't have that kind of authority anymore, and now he can only rely on Facao to do this kind of thing.

Although Facao is actually not restricted and interfered with by the assassin history, Fa Cao's handling of cases often requires the cooperation of the assassin history.

So no matter what, Fa Cao will not choose to stiffen the relationship with Thorn Shi, so as not to embarrass each other when working in the future.

Everyone is out to be officials, so why embarrass each other?

Isn't it great that you do your administration, and I do my laws, cooperate with each other and don't interfere with each other?

The person in charge of the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion is named Zhao Xian, a native of Qingzhou, from a poor family.

In the early years, he received legal education from the Guo family in Linzi Academy, and then began to do legal work in a county during the Qingyan Erzhou era, and his work performance was very good.

After Guo Peng annexed Hebei, Zhao Xian was promoted to the head of justice in Wei County in accordance with the procedure, and he did a good job and was deeply praised.

Later, after Guo Peng ordered Cao Ren to enter the five eastern counties of Liangzhou, Zhao Xian was promoted to Liangzhou Fa Cao, responsible for law enforcement in Liangzhou.

Zhao Xian has always been working with Mao Jue in Liangzhou, punishing many unjudicial officials, and resolving many legal disputes.

Because of Guo Peng's special growth environment, Guo Wei's regime had a very large number of poor officials appointed and promoted.

They were appreciated by Guo Peng, followed Guo Peng all the way, made great contributions to him and shed his blood, and continued to grow in power as Guo Peng's power grew.

A considerable number of these poor officials in the three prefectures of Qingyan and Hebei, who had followed Guo Peng for a long time, also became high-ranking officials of Guo Wei's regime, and their power continued to grow with the growth of Guo Peng's status.

Among them, the top ones are naturally the Cao family, the Xiahou family and the Qiao family.

Of course, we also have to count the strange among the strange things that a businessman has no background at all - Mi's.

These poor families were promoted and cared for by Guo Peng, and they were very powerful, and Guo Peng was very happy to continue to use poor talents, and Taixue also caused a dispute between the poor and the scholars.

Now every year, there is a steady stream of poor people who graduate from Taixue to serve as officials, and the scholars feel very unhappy about this, but they are helpless, because there are indeed some positions that the scholars and bureaucrats cannot hold.

Their numbers are not so large, and they can't fill all the official positions in the entire empire, especially after Guo has added the second-level government in the countryside, and the scholars don't want to dominate the official positions.

All they can do is to keep moving upwards, constantly striving for higher positions, in order to occupy the upper echelons of the entire empire and dominate upper politics.

But now it seems that even the upper echelons of politics are not so easy to play.
