Chapter Twenty-Five: Taking the Helm of the Taiwan Courtyard (The Alliance Leader of the Wind Alliance)

Li Longji is versatile, not only proficient in music, calligraphy also has a deep attainment, "Ancient and Modern Law Library" once commented on Li Longji's calligraphy and said: "Tang Ming Emperor Gong eight-point chapter grass, rich and beautiful." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The four big characters of "unparalleled in the world" use the technique of an eight-point book.

Pei Min's own calligraphy attainments are good, and it can be distinguished that Li Longji's eight-point book is deeply rooted in the essence of the eight-point book, and it is full of the charm of ancient law.

"Good word! It's just ......" Pei Min praised it, shook his head and said: "The four words unparalleled in the world are too big, and the minister can't afford it now." "He is still self-aware, when it comes to swordsmanship, with the combination of Pei Min's original extraordinary talent inherited from Pei Min, the sword saint, and the advanced martial arts theory of the twenty-first century, his current swordsmanship and martial arts skills are stronger than Pei Min of the same era in history, but he has not yet reached the realm of grandmasters. In the same generation, he is undoubtedly swept away, and few people who are higher than him are his opponents. But in the face of those martial arts celebrities who have been famous for thirty or forty years of practical experience, he may not have the certainty of a complete victory, and if he encounters a martial arts master of the type of bearded guest and Zhang Sanfeng, the chance of winning is not great. After all, the other party's age, experience, experience and perception are there, and he is less than twenty after all.

Li Longji heard the meaning of his words, and said with a smile: "I can't afford it now, does it mean that I can in the future?" ”

Pei Min affirmed: "I must be able to!" "What Pei Min can do in history, what reason can't he do?

Li Longji laughed: "Your sword has helped me to settle the overall situation, and the impact of that sword is not comparable to the ordinary blades in the hands of those martial artists on the rivers and lakes." I think if you can take it, you will take it...... Give it to you and you will take it. ”

Pei Min closed the notebook and said, "The minister is disrespectful, by the way, the sword, I didn't pay attention to it yesterday, and I brought it back to the mansion directly......"

"That's it!" Li Longji interrupted directly, pretending to be displeased: "I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with, so I don't have time to discuss these with you." You step back first, and when I'm done with the matter at hand, I'll find a time to talk to you about the military system. He directly ordered the eviction.

Gao Lishi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty said, how can there be a reason to take back the things that were sent." That sword can kill a few more corrupt officials in the hands of the servant Yushi! ”

Pei Min had no choice but to thank him again and retreat.

Gao Lishi sent him out of the Taiji Palace and returned the Qin Emperor Sword to him.

Pei Min touched the Qin Emperor's sword, and he really liked this divine soldier, so he went out of the palace happily.

Gao Lishi put mint water on the table and said softly: "Your Majesty has not closed your eyes for a day and a night, drink some mint water to refresh yourself." He knew Li Longji and knew that letting him go to sleep at this time would only cause him to be disgusted.

Li Longji drank the mint water without saying a word, felt the unique coolness of mint stimulating the brain and stomach, and refreshed his spirit, and said: "You still know me best!" Sent Pei Min out of the palace? ”

Gao Lishi smiled: "Yes, the servant Yushi is very happy, the little slave can see that sword Qin Huang Sword, he likes it very much." ”

Li Longji said with a smile: "It's good to be happy, I feel distressed, if he is not happy, won't he give it away in vain?" The abilities and potential he has shown so far are indeed worthy of that sword. What do you think of him? ”

Gao Lishi paused and said: "The little slave is stupid and doesn't dare to evaluate himself, but when the little slave went to summon him before, the servant Yushi mingled with his colleagues in the military department, and he was not affected by the addition of officials to the knighthood, which the little slave still admired." The little slave is valued by His Majesty, and it is already a great blessing to be promoted to the inner servant and the main member, and he was also promoted to the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, and he was a little proud of it. ”

Li Longji said: "Don't forget your original intention, it's rare." I want to establish the great cause of Taizong and Gaozong, and it is also a great blessing to be assisted by such talents. ”

**********

Pei Min put away the "unparalleled in the world" given to him by Li Longji, and went to the Yushitai to report first.

The administrative system of the Tang Dynasty is recognized as the system of three provinces and six ministries, and the Yushitai is also known as the Xiantai, which belongs to the special central supervision agency set up in a special situation, and is also one of the central judicial organs, responsible for picketing, impeaching officials, and enforcing the discipline of the Zheng Gang. During the Zhenguan period, the Imperial Historical Observatory set up a Taiwan Prison and had the right to accept special litigation cases, which greatly increased the authority of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

It is also because of the special organization of the Imperial Historical Observatory, all the official positions of the Imperial Historical Observatory, from the Imperial Historian to the Supervision of the Imperial History, belong to the low official position and heavy authority, and it has always been a position that no one wants to offend. Because of this, Wang Maozhong, who was once arrogant and arrogant, did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Pei Min.

The Goshidai is located in the middle of Chengtianmen Street, relying on the second street of Suzaku Gate, with Soshoji Temple on the left and Taishijian on the right.

The current imperial historian is called Cheng Xingzhan, who is honest and honest and is a good person who attaches great importance to grammar, and therefore has won the respect of the former Li Dan and the current Li Longji.

Cheng Xingzhan expressed a warm welcome to Pei Min's arrival, and did not put on any official stands, but enthusiastically introduced him to Yang Maoqian in the imperial history. Now the power of Yushitai is in the hands of Cheng Xingzhan and Yang Maoqian.

Pei Min's official residence serves the imperial history and has the title of national prince, and his status in the imperial history platform is second only to these two.

Cheng Xingzhan personally led Pei Min to visit the Yushitai and told Pei Min about the role of the Yushitai: "Everyone in the world is afraid of my Yushitai like a tiger, although there is a reason for it, but as a member of the Yushitai, I want to remember one thing." The real authority of the Imperial Historical Observatory is not a cruel punishment in the eyes of the world, and the Imperial Historical Observatory is not a cool official, and the purpose of its existence is to prevent official corruption through the supervision system......"

The imperial history system of the Tang Dynasty was different from that of the previous dynasties, and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin attached great importance to the integrity of officials and carried out the Zhenguan reform. He sent the Imperial Historical Observatory to inspect the whole country many times, inspect the governance of officials, and write the merits and demerits of local officials on the palace screen as the basis for rewards and punishments; In addition, it is stipulated that Beijing officials of the fifth rank and above will take turns to stay in Zhongshu Province so that they can meet at any time and inquire about the people's woes and the gains and losses of governance. The emperor took the lead in setting an example, and the officials were dedicated to the public service, and the officials were in their own duties, which greatly reduced the phenomenon of abuse of power and corruption and dereliction of duty. For some reason, during the Zhenguan period, most of the officials in the country were honest and honest, and this kind of atmosphere was extremely rare throughout the thousand-year history. But in the Wu Zetian period, in order to consolidate his position, Wu Zetian appointed cool officials to Junchen to persecute civil and military officials with the power of Yushitai. As a result, the Goshidai became a notorious hell that everyone feared.

With this lesson from the past, Cheng Xingzhan is in charge of the Yushitai, and he will not tolerate this kind of behavior of cool officials, and the accident is particularly reminded.

Pei Min smiled and said, "Cheng Lao, don't worry, I understand this truth." Bending into a move is the lowest technique. Unless you do nothing, as long as it is official dereliction of duty, there are examples of your own political achievements. Since he is in charge of criminal law, he puts the law first. ”

Cheng Xingzhan nodded with satisfaction, and introduced the organization of the Imperial Historical Observatory to him.

The Imperial Historical Observatory is divided into three departments: the Taiwan Academy, the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Procuratorate. Among them, the Taiwan Yuan is in charge of picketing hundreds of bureaucrats and impeaching lawlessness; Tried the cases of the emperor's special order, and divided the court with the people of the Ministry of Menxia Province and the Zhongshu House of Zhongshu Province, accepted unjust lawsuits, and was known as the "Little Three Divisions", and was also in charge of the daily chores of the Imperial Historical Observatory, which was the most important department of the Imperial Historical Observatory. The palace is responsible for supervision, and the object of supervision is mainly the activities of hundreds of officials in the palace to maintain the ceremonial order of the court. The task of the procuratorate is to inspect hundreds of officials and patrol prefectures and counties.

Pei Min's position is to serve the imperial history, and it is subordinate to the Taiwan Academy, which has the heaviest authority in the imperial history.

Pei Min learned about his future responsibilities in the Taiwan Academy, and found that the usual tasks of serving Yushi were not heavy, and when there were no illegal officials breaking the law and criminal cases, it was an idle job. With great power and leisure, Pei Min is full of yearning for a good life in the future.

Li Longji does have great ambitions, and he makes no secret of it.

He overturned Wu Zetian's decrees one after another, except for the excellent decrees put forward by Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia and other famous ministers, the others directly restored and implemented the administrative norms of Taizong and Gaozong's rule.

In a short period of 10 days, 500 Beijing officials were laid off, and the officials who served were routinely evaluated to judge whether the officials were capable of making achievements in their posts based on their actual results.

Pei Min's Yushitai also cooperated with Li Longji's actions and sued some incompetent officials to the imperial front, and Li Longji did not hesitate to give the order to remove the officials.

The big moves in turn frightened everyone in the Manchu Dynasty, and made those officials who wanted to live a mess and didn't work hard, and they were full of energy to do things one by one. Those who are really talented also see the hope of the future and work harder.

Just like the story of the three monks, the lack of officials made it easier and faster for the entire imperial court to operate.

Li Longji also fulfilled his promise, constantly improving the authority of the Yushitai and increasing the strength of the Yushitai. Li Longji's approach, like Li Shimin, reuses the Yushitai not for criminal punishment, but for deterrence and prevention.

After ten days of adaptation, Pei Min took over the work of the Taiwan Institute. He found that Yushitai's original intention was good, but the rules were a little old and flashy. He looked through a lot of cases left over from the Imperial Historical Observatory, and most of the cases were taken only after the inferior nature of the officials was exposed, the situation was serious, and the people were endangered to the imperial court.

Just like in later generations, it is well known to those who do not cause public outrage and do not make trouble, and they cannot be dealt with effectively and quickly.

It's not because the people of the Imperial Observatory are afraid of power, but because the sources of information from the Imperial Historical Observatory are too rigid. In the absence of effective and reliable sources, the incident did not happen and did not make a big fuss, and the Yushitai did not know where to start at all, so that as hindsight, he was usually idle, waited until the incident happened, and then dispatched to deal with it, investigate, and arrest it......
