Section 728 Major institutional reform
The six departments are collectively referred to as "branch officials" in the matter and the supervision of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"History of the Ming Dynasty: Zhiguan Zhi I": "All the Beijing camp drills are unified by the ministers of civil and military affairs, and they are all inspected by the Taoist officials.
Give the duty in the matter to serve the emperor, recommend talents, correct the impeachment of officials, supervise the six departments, seal and refute the system and chapters, evaluate political affairs, and admonish at any time.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate placed the left and right imperial history, the left and right deputy imperial history and the supervision of the imperial history and other officials. His duties were to picket the officials of the hundred departments inside and outside, and he was ordered to inspect in Beijing, patrol the localities outside, supervise the prefectures and counties, examine officials, correct illegal acts, and rectify discipline. The discipline inspector of the official department of science and technology, the establishment of the government, is related to the governance of officials, so the Ming generation, the selection, assessment, and transfer of the department and the Taoist official attach great importance to it.
Kedao officials have the right to hear about things, and Wang Anshi's explanation shall prevail: "Those who hear about things in Xu Feng do not ask where their words come from, and they do not blame the truth of what they say." If another person tells the truth, he shall be guilty of false accusation and writing fraud. Although the official and the imperial history are untrue, they are not guilty, this is what Xu Feng said. ”
The right to hear about the incident is very hanging, that is, I am an official of Kedao, and if I want to sue you, I will sue you, and there is no responsibility for suing you if you are wrong!
Of course, it will not be without responsibility, if the impeachment of the official is wrong many times, this official will soon be removed from office, after all, power is not child's play.
It is of positive significance for officials to hold the constitution of heaven and supervise the government and government.
However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, officials in the province had become the vanguard of the party struggle, and they took advantage of the opportunity to participate in the "Jingcha" to achieve the goal of attacking political opponents.
Especially the Donglin Party, they can't do anything, and they can also use the officials of Kedao to make others unable to do anything.
The fierce party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty is unprecedentedly rare!
At the beginning, the position of the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology was designed, so that they were humble and powerful, and they were used to check and balance the bigwigs in the court, and a small imperial history and the matter could force the cabinet scholars and the six scholars to come forward to listen to the ginseng, which made the bigwigs miserable.
You have given the matter and the imperial history, but I don't?
You come to join me, I won't join you?
Everyone eats dogs, bites every day, and the court is very lively, but in fact, nothing is accomplished.
As a result, the political situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was also like a great river resolute, and it was difficult to clean up.
Seeing such a situation, Changwu of the southeast public was determined to cancel the right of the officials of the province to "hear about the matter", that is, impeachment is okay, but there must be a real hammer, if it is a false accusation, the responsibility is at your own risk!
He sat in the Ming Hall and said eloquently to the officials: "The officials of science and technology who hold the power of admonition and impeachment often become the targets of party contention and wooing, so as to achieve the party's goal of fighting against differences and attacking political enemies. This style of taking the enemy's right and wrong and the enemy's wrongs as the right will obviously make it impossible for decision-makers to distinguish between truth and falsehood, distort and malfunction political information, and endanger the rule of the imperial court. ”
"Taking the former emperor as an example, the fierce party struggle made the former emperor even feel that the court was all traitorous and rebellious ministers, what ministers could he use, and what courtiers he dared to use!"
"Of course, the abolition of the right of science and technology officials to 'hear about things' will also bring science and technology officials not to dare to speak, but now the country is in danger, do more things and talk less!"
"To do things, it is better to do things wrong, at least we know that we are wrong and change them, it is better than not to do it!"
"The officials of the Department of Science and Technology are constrained in everything, and even the emperor is unable to move an inch, how can it be tolerated!" Yan Changwu revealed his true intentions, so that labor and management would not find themselves uncomfortable.
In the end, he came to a decisive conclusion and said: "I have made up my mind to abolish the right to hear about things!" ”
As for how to supervise officials, Yan Changwu came up with a measure that the ministers felt was fresh: "Official property declaration and disclosure!" ”
"Specifically, it means that officials declare their own assets, disclose them to the public, and the supervision department will review and accept social supervision!"
He said with a smile on his face: "Let's start with my father!" ”
"The annual income is three thousand taels of silver, and he owns a Guogong Mansion and a garden, and the total property is 110,000 taels of silver!" Yan Changwu first said his property income.
Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "This official has an annual income of five hundred taels of silver, and he owns a broken Zhuangzi in the countryside of Gaoyang, a thousand acres of farmland, and a total property of ninety thousand taels of silver. ”
Yao Minggong also said with a smile: "This official has an annual income of four hundred and fifty taels of silver, and he owns a broken Zhuangzi in the countryside of Bahe County, three thousand acres of farmland, and a total property of two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. ”
"X yours!" Ma Shiying, Wang Duo and Gao Hongtu are all scolding these two old and one young three big traitor turtles in their hearts!
The big traitors are outsiders, and most of their assets are outside the mainland, such as Yan Changwu's assets in Taiwan and Southeast Asia add up to be rich and rival countries, but he doesn't need to declare here!
At that time, we didn't pay attention to overseas assets, only mainland assets.
Oh, who prescribes?
Yan Changwu himself stipulated that he did not need to declare overseas assets.
Sun Chengzong and Yao Minggong also have a lot of assets overseas, but those assets also fall within the scope of non-declaration.
Helplessly, Ma Shiying said that his total assets amounted to 500,000 taels of silver, while Wang Duo was even higher, and his calligraphy and painting works had a high cost of polishing his paintings, reaching more than 800,000 taels of silver, and Gao Hongtu had assets of more than 300,000 taels of silver.
As a result, Yan Changwu promoted the declaration and disclosure of officials' assets, so that officials had no strength to fight for the right to do something, which made everyone jump and rack their brains, thinking about transferring their property as soon as possible.
If the past is not investigated, the previous corruption can be whitewashed, and now no matter how much it is reported (if you dare to make trouble), no one wants to make themselves too prominent.
Yan Changwu casually made the officials mess up with such a move, and he Shi Shiran went to the military parade.
They inspected the troops of the Southeast Army garrison stationed in Nanjing, as well as the troops of Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing, who were being reorganized in Nanzhili.
News of his military parade quickly appeared in the newspapers, and everywhere he went, the troops were high-willed and energetic to accept his review.
In the Gaojie Division, the officer corps advanced with great momentum, and the soldiers were densely arrayed and the ranks were neat.
Gao Jie accompanied Yan Changwu to stand on the parade platform, and he reported to Yan Changwu: "The vocational department administers the army according to the methods taught by the leader, and under the guidance of the General Staff, foreign officers and non-commissioned officers have been added for training, and the mental outlook of the entire unit has undergone tremendous changes!" ”
"The rank department dares to fight a decisive battle with the northern captives, and dares to defeat the Liukou!" Gao Jie said excitedly: "Wherever the leader points to, we will fight!" ”
"Good!" Yan Changwu was overjoyed, rewarded the troops, and rewarded and fed everyone.
After receiving the support of the army, he knew it and activated the measures.
"Boom Boom ......"
In the villages and towns around Nanjing, the township officials walked through the villages and towns with their hands and beating gongs and drums, and posted the decrees and notices of the imperial court at the head and end of the village and at the town office.
All the people, men and women, came out of the small courtyards of their homes and gathered around the village officials, or in front of the notices at the head of the villages, and listened to the notices of the government read by those who were literate.
Good guys, the government has launched three major policies in one go.
Spread into acres, land stepped tax collection and fire consumption to the public!
After three doses of fierce medicine, all classes of Nanming were messy in the wind!
