Nowadays, the anti-corruption work of the Tang Empire mainly relies on the Inspectorate, but the Inspectorate is not only responsible for the anti-corruption work of officials, but also for the supervision of the entire group of officials.

In addition, the Inspectorate is responsible for the prosecution of all public prosecution cases, especially criminal cases.

However, there is another problem, although the Inspectorate is independent of the Cabinet ministries, and is an independent unit with the Privy Council, the Naval Command, and the Cabinet, its funding and personnel arrangements have always come from the Cabinet.

As a result, the Inspectorate still has many ties with the Cabinet, and it is impossible to achieve true independence.

This is actually very detrimental to the anti-corruption work.

When the appointment and promotion of the imperial historians are controlled by the ministry, it is naturally difficult to avoid contact with ordinary officials.

Not to mention the issue of funding, which also needs to be divided from the cabinet.

After Li Xuan considered the official system of the Tang Empire in detail, he was ready to adjust the existing cabinet, inspectorate, and grand court, and he wanted to completely separate the judicial system from the administrative department and make the judicial system truly independent.

If it is replaced by other ordinary countries, whether it is a monarchy or a democracy, or a centralized democracy, I am afraid that it will have to go through many consultations before it can finally be determined.

But in the Tang Empire, there is no need to be so troublesome, Li Xuan can let the various departments of his subordinates discuss it slowly, but all decisions involving major matters have always been decided by Li Xuan in one word.

Of course, in order to avoid problems in the future and damage to the emperor's prestige, as before, Li Xuan will still not come forward to mention it, but will have courtiers propose a reform plan, and then Li Xuan will approve it.

In this way, the matter is done, and the credit is all due to the wise and great Son of Heaven Li Xuan, if he is not careful, the matter is messed up, then naturally it is to blame on the courtier who proposed the plan, and the Son of Heaven Li Xuan was just blinded.

After deciding to adjust the judicial system and even the entire administrative system, Li Xuan quickly summoned many important ministers, including the Imperial History of the Inspectorate, the Shangshu of various cabinet ministries, and the president of the Grand Court.

Through one-on-one individual interviews, I revealed my thoughts to these courtiers!

Don't worry about this kind of roundabout words, the courtiers can't understand, they can become high-level officials in the empire, all of them are human spirits, and as important ministers of the empire, this is not to mention every day, but Li Xuan will be seen at both ends in three days, and he naturally knows Li Xuan quite well, although Li Xuan is out of tune and does not directly express his opinion, but most of these courtiers have guessed what the Holy Son of Heaven wants to do.

Immediately, one by one, they went back and were ready to start moving.

Why so decisively and quickly?

Because they all know that as an official in the Tang Empire, many things cannot be done, and the most important point is not to go against Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven!

I don't want to talk about ability or anything, but obedience is a must.

Because if you are disobedient, it is impossible for Li Xuan to be promoted to serve as a high-level scholar in various ministries, let alone enter the imperial study.

Li Xuan was not interested in promoting a few thorns, and then singing against himself every day, and then in order to maintain the dignity of the Holy Monarch, he had to pretend to be humbly taught.

As for the thorns, Li Xuan kicked them out directly once he found out!

If you want to oppose Li Xuan, it's not that there is no way, that is, rebellion......

That day, if someone rebelled into Jinling City with a large army, Li Xuan promised to be obedient!

The question is? Can the rebellion succeed?

Yiyantang doesn't sound very good, and it is easy for the emperor to make wrong decisions, but for the emperor, even if he makes a wrong choice, it is better than a courtier to make the right decision on his behalf!

The point is not whether the decision is right or not, but who makes the decision!

Li Xuan is undoubtedly a very qualified emperor, so when he promoted ministers over the years, he didn't expect to be able to become an important minister if he didn't look good.

Therefore, most of the high-level leaders of the Tang Empire are serious emperors, and everything is subject to the opinion of Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, of course, this does not mean that they are incapable and have no opinions.

On the contrary, none of the people who can climb to this position are simple people, otherwise, they would have been killed in the tragic officialdom struggle, how could they climb all the way up smoothly, and finally enter the sight of the Holy Son of Heaven and become a high-level person like the secretary of various ministries and squires.

Soon, there were courtiers who followed Li Xuan's hint and wrote an excerpt!

This excerpt is just an introduction, and naturally it is impossible to talk about such a big issue as bureaucratic reform at the beginning, those are the main events later, and it is not yet time to appear on the stage.

This excerpt is an excerpt from the impeachment of relevant officials of the Ministry of Industry and Jiangbei Province for abusing their power for personal gain, accepting bribes, and embezzling project funds in the Hongze Lake embankment.

On the surface, this excerpt is only the impeachment of several middle-level officials of the Ministry of Industry and several middle- and low-level officials of Jiangbei Province, but everyone knows that this spearhead has been directly pointed at people at higher levels, such as Jiangbei Provincial officials, several directors of the Ministry of Industry, and even squires, and even relevant officials of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises have been implicated.

Sure enough, as expected by the hundred officials, within a few days, a large number of impeachment of Jiangbei Province, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and even the relevant officials of North Anhui Province and Henan Province flew into the palace like snowflakes.

These excerpts are just a prelude, and the follow-up officials in various places must also need to make a statement.

Because many middle and high-ranking officials can see the unusual flavor from this matter.

Officials are corrupt, how strange this can be is that a lot of corrupt officials have to be arrested every year, last year thousands of officials were killed at one time, and finally affected the squire and even Shangshu were forced to commit suicide.

However, such a big turmoil did not cause much turmoil, although the officials were frightened by this, but it did not cause a large-scale upward fold.

However, now, it is just a small corruption in Gangbuk-do, but it has caused a large-scale upset in Gyeonggi and other localities, and if there is no deep meaning behind it, they will not believe it.

And they can also be very sure that there must be the acquiescence and even approval of the Son of Heaven behind this, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big storm.

And it turned out exactly as they expected!

At first, it was only the middle and low-level officials who were on the fold, but after a few days, even the servants of the various ministries began to fold, and at this time, the reason for the excerpts of the hundreds of officials was not only corruption in Jiangbei, but also affected the unfavorable supervision of the Inspectorate, and what about the overlapping functions of the anti-corruption agency of the Inspectorate and the anti-corruption agency of the Patrol Police Department, etc.

At this time, the inspectorate was roasted on the fire, and the officials of the inspectorate naturally began to defend themselves, saying that it was not that we were not supervising effectively, but that our manpower was tight and our funds were also tight, and in this case, how could it be possible to supervise so many officials across the country.

At this time, it was actually the focus of this great debate, and the previous excerpts were all just an introduction, and what they did was only to lead to the complete independence of the judiciary.

During the whole process, Li Xuan did not express any opinions, and all the excerpts on this matter were left behind.

Although the Son of Heaven does not leave it, its meaning is very many, sometimes it is acquiescence, sometimes it is opposition, sometimes it is when it is not seen, and there are different opinions on different situations.

Now the attitude of the Holy Son of Heaven is naturally not clear to ordinary middle and low-level officials, they are not familiar with Li Xuan, and they do not know the inside of this matter, so they are naturally unable to make accurate judgments, which also leads to all kinds of judgments.

But most of those important ministers or middle and low-level officials who have more contact with the Son of Heaven can judge the meaning of the Son of Heaven!

This time, I don't send it, and the meaning is probably this: You go on, I listen!

Although he had already received hints from the Son of Heaven before, Li Xuan met people individually, and it was naturally different from what each courtier said, and these courtiers naturally did not have the courage to communicate with each other.

If you come to a few sentences similar to this: "Brother so-and-so, what did Your Majesty say to you?" Do you want to reveal a few words to my little brother? And then we plan and make a fortune? "That's the case.

They dare to use other people's heads to vouch for it, and these words will be relayed to the Son of Heaven by the Hantong Eagle Dog that night!

There is no need to even relay it from the Hantong Eagle Dog, they themselves will enter the palace to face the saint on the same day, saying that so-and-so has bad intentions and wants to talk from the mouth of the minister!

For a centralized monarchy, it is very taboo for courtiers to connect in private, and if the matter of tandem also involves the Son of Heaven, it is basically a long life.

A hat with a bad plot is buttoned down, let alone beheaded, the whole family can't be saved!

This also led to the fact that although many high-ranking officials had hints from the Son of Heaven, the problem was that in fact, Li Xuan said something differently to everyone, or even the same thing.

Therefore, many senior officials do not know what other colleagues will do!

And as things develop, things are getting more and more complicated, even so complicated that many senior officials who know a little bit of the inside story can't understand how this matter suddenly evolved into what it is now.

And most importantly, what exactly does the Son of Heaven want to do?
