Zhao Dan's sudden throw of this topic obviously made Mi Xian a little stunned, and it took several seconds before he reacted.

After reacting, the first thing that came to mind for this loyal eunuch Ling was - opposition.

"King, supervise the affairs of the guard, absolutely not!" Mi Xian's old face was slightly red in a hurry, and he said to Zhao Dan: "How can you forget about the riot of the Chinese people? The king must not do the things of the king again! ”

"Riots?" Zhao Dan also froze for a moment, and then quickly remembered what Mixian was talking about.

The rebellion of the Chinese people was what happened when the Zhou Dynasty had not yet moved from Haojing to Luoyi, which is the "Western Zhou" as it is called in the history books.

At that time, due to the development of society, the Jingtian system, which was originally established at the time of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, began to have problems, and in a sentence in the high school political textbook, "the relations of production can no longer meet the needs of the increasingly progressive productive forces." ”

With the increase of the population of the Zhou Dynasty, the fields that relied on the well-field system could no longer support the peasants, so the peasants secretly cultivated a large amount of private land in addition to the public land allocated by the government.

Later, due to the increasing population, it was no longer possible to even cultivate private land to support themselves, so the Zhou Dynasty had to go into the mountains, forests, lakes and rivers to hunt and fish in order to obtain more food sources.

However, the income of the central government of the Zhou Dynasty relied on public land, whether it was cultivating private land, hunting and fishing, which did not increase the financial revenue of the central government by a dime, on the contrary, it also destroyed the original well field system.

When the Jingtian system was destroyed, the tax revenue of the central government of the Zhou Dynasty also dropped greatly, that is, there was no money. But how can you keep government agencies running without money? Therefore, the rule of the Zhou Dynasty naturally had a crisis.

Under such circumstances, the then monarch Zhou Li decided to carry out reforms. This King Li of Zhou appointed a nobleman named Rong Yi Gong as a secretary (equivalent to the official positions of Taishi and Xiangguo) and let this Rong Yi Gong preside over the reform.

However, it is clear that the pair of kings and ministers of Zhou Li and Rong Yigong did not understand the contradiction between the productive forces and the relations of production, and their reforms also went completely wrong.

With the support of King Zhou Li, Rong Yigong issued a "patent" policy, declaring that mountains, forests, lakes and rivers were all state-owned, and private individuals could not enter them to hunt and fish, and violators would be punished.

In the minds of King Zhou Li and Rong Yigong, since people can no longer hunt and fish, they should be able to obediently return to the well field, so that the well field system can return to normal again, and the country's tax revenue can return to the right track.

But King Zhou Li and Rong Yigong ignored one point, that is, everyone just can't go hunting and fishing because they can't survive farming and will starve to death, so they can't go hunting and fishing, and now you don't give us hunting and fishing but let us go back to farming, what's the difference between this and letting us die?

As a result, the people of the Zhou Dynasty complained about this, and many knowledgeable ministers also expressed their dissatisfaction.

But King Zhou Li not only turned a deaf ear to this, but instead established a secret agency called "Wei Wu" to spy on people, as long as anyone complained about King Zhou Li's patent policy, whether it was a minister or a commoner, they were directly arrested and killed.

This violent and terrorist policy made the Zhou people silent one by one, even to the point that they did not dare to talk to each other when they walked on the road, and could only show each other with their eyes.

However, this policy obviously could not be sustained for a long time, and after a few years, the unbearable Zhou Dynasty finally launched an uprising to overthrow the rule of King Zhou Li, which was the so-called "Guoren Rebellion".

The reason why Mixian used the matter of the Chinese riot to persuade Zhao Dan is that he wants to say that King Zhou Li was because he established a secret organization to monitor people's actions and speeches, so the boiling of public resentment reached its peak, and finally King Zhou Li was overthrown because of this.

King (Zhao Dan): Now you want to establish this guard to monitor people, isn't this the old path of King Zhou Li? In this case, it may be difficult for you to keep your rule.

Zhao Dan couldn't help but laugh after figuring out what Mixian meant.

It can be seen from what Mi Xian said just now that this old minister is really thinking about Zhao Dan and Zhao Guo, and even at the risk of angering Zhao Dan, he bluntly opposed Zhao Dan's decision.

It's just that...

Zhao Dan stretched out his hand and patted the loyal old minister on the shoulder.

"Mi Qing is too worried."

Zhao Dan coughed, cleared his throat, and said to Mi Xian: "In the past, Zhaogong once admonished King Zhou Li and said: 'The mouth of the people is more important than the Sichuan. King Li didn't listen, so some people rioted. Since there is a lesson from the king in the past, how can the widow repeat the mistakes of the past? This guardian is not a slanderer such as a guardian of witches, but a person who supervises hundreds of officials and observes the feelings of the people. As for punishment, the Guardian is responsible for it, and the Guardian is not involved. ”

"Supervise hundreds of officials and observe the people's feelings?" Mi Xian savored these two sentences carefully, and his originally tightly knit brows tended to stretch slightly.

If the Inspector is in charge of these matters, it doesn't seem excessive.

Moreover, Zhao Dan also said that things like deciding on punishment are still decided by the Si Kou family of Zhao Guo's original legal system, so this supervising guard is indeed completely different from the "Wei Wu" organization of King Zhou Li who arrested people and beheaded people if they disagreed.

But after thinking about it, Mixian was a little puzzled: "King, the minister still has something unclear." If it is about supervising hundreds of officials, there is also Lieutenant Yu Xin, so why do you need to put this guard in place? ”

As one of the important ministers of Zhao State, the official position of lieutenant served by Yu Xin belongs to "selecting and training envoys, and appointing officials to enable them." "It is equivalent to the official department of later generations, and it itself has the authority to promote or dismiss according to the performance of hundreds of officials, that is, the right to supervise.

Therefore, Mixian means that since there are all lieutenants, then the king also gets a guard out, it seems that he takes off his pants and farts a little - this is a big move.

Zhao Dan smiled slightly and said, "Mi Qing's words are fallacious. Lieutenants, officers also. It is the norm of the world for officials to protect each other. Yu Qing is a lieutenant, and I am confident. If he steals the position of lieutenant and deceives his superiors and subordinates, Zhao Guo will be in danger! Supervising the guardian is the widow who has set up to solve this crisis. In the future, the lieutenant can be a widow to investigate, and the inspector can be a secret visit to the widow, so that the light and the darkness complement each other, and the widow will have no worries! ”

Zhao Dan's words are his original intention to set up the Supervision Guard.

There are too many institutions similar to this supervision and guard in various dynasties in China. For example, the Qin Dynasty's Wei Yi, the Han Dynasty's embroidered messengers, the Tang Dynasty's Lijingmen, the Song Dynasty's Imperial City Division, the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei, Dongchang, the Qing Dynasty's sticky rod (blood droplets), and so on.

Why did so many dynasties coincidentally set up such a secret internal spy agency with a different name, but basically the same nature, which directly belonged to the emperor, could it be that the emperors were all full and had nothing to do?

The fundamental reason is actually very simple, that is, to prevent "officials and officials from protecting each other".

You must know that the ministry responsible for supervising officials is also a member of the official class, and letting the ministry supervise officials is actually equivalent to the official class supervising itself, isn't this shady? Being an athlete and a referee at the same time, is this possible not to blow the black whistle?

This is the so-called protection of officials and officials.

The emergence of official protection is usually accompanied by large-scale corruption, which in turn will inevitably lead to the misery of the people, and then the emperors will face a crisis of rule, and the country will be in danger of being destroyed by the peasant uprising.

Therefore, the emperors must have a force in their hands to check and deter the official class, to eliminate the corrupt among the official class, to avoid the officials from unscrupulously colluding in deception, so that the emperor can have a channel to directly understand the people's feelings.

What would happen without such an institution as the Ombudsman? Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, killed Wei Zhongxian under the deception of the officials and scholars, and abolished Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Then the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty lost their deterrence and began to act as moths of the country unscrupulously, and it only took more than ten years to collapse the huge Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen has no problem killing Wei Zhongxian itself, just change to a cronie of his own, but abolishing Dongchang and Jinyiwei is definitely a very stupid thing that Chongzhen did.

As the so-called taking history as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, since there are so many dynasties and experiences, for Zhao Dan, the establishment of the supervision guard is imperative.

In addition, this kind of institution itself also needs a certain amount of time to develop, and it is not Zhao Dan who can be everywhere with a mouth, so of course, the sooner the supervision and health agency is established, the better.

After listening to Zhao Dan's explanation, Mi Xian finally fully understood, and nodded and praised convincingly: "The king is really high, and the minister is not as good as it." Please rest assured that the ministers will do their best to build this guard and Hu Yiwei for the king! ”

What Mixian is entangled with is actually this internal supervision guard, and as for Hu Yiwei externally, Mixian can understand it. After all, what country doesn't have a few spies these days? Hu Yiwei is just a formal integration of Zhao Guo's spies to the outside world, which is actually what it should be.

As mentioned earlier, Mixian himself was loyal to Zhao Dan, the monarch, and his initial opposition was also because he felt that it was not conducive to Zhao Dan's rule. But at this moment, after hearing Zhao Dan's explanation, Mixian found that the establishment of the supervision guard was not only harmless but also beneficial, so Mixian naturally fully supported this matter.

So Miao Xian had no objection and quickly retired.

Looking at Miao Xian's distant figure, Zhao Dan was also quite happy in his heart. The reason why Zhao Dan had to go to such great lengths to persuade Mi Xian was actually because Miao Xian was the best person in Zhao Dan's heart to be responsible for the establishment of these two organizations. With the full cooperation of Mi Xian, Inspector Wei and Hu Yiwei should be able to get on the right track soon.

Why is Miohyun the best candidate? First of all, Miohyun has enough ability and prestige, and then he also has enough manpower (doorman) to do these things.

Of course, none of this is important, the most important point is the position of Mixian - the eunuch order (the head of the inner house).

Of course, there is only one kind of person who can be the head of the inner house-eunuch.

Such a powerful intelligence agency directly under the emperor, of course, is the most reassuring only to have a eunuch who has no ability to pass on the lineage as the leader.
