"Yes, Father." Zhu Houzhao agreed, and this matter was settled.

However, in addition to this incident, Zhu Houzhao came over today for another matter, that is, about the establishment of a new department in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This is a new supervisory body, and it is a department that Zhu Houzhao intends to be independent of other supervisory agencies, just like the previous tax department.

So Zhu Hou looked at his father and asked, "Father, what about the rest of the matter?" ”

"You want to set up an investigation department in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Zhu Youzhu looked at his son and asked with a suspicious face.

"Back to my father, it's exactly like this, my son wants to get an investigation department. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven and is responsible for supervising the place. But sometimes it's just too messy. Zhu Houzhao said directly: "The newly established investigation department will have some ability to investigate cases, and the people or things that the imperial history of various places will participate in, impeachment, or things. Before sending it to the Imperial Palace, it can be sent back to the Investigation Division, which will be responsible for verification. Once confirmed, officials can be punished. ”

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao took a step back and waited for his father to speak.

Zhu Youzhu glanced at his son with some suspicion, because he felt that this investigation department was a department that took off its pants and farted, which was useless at all, but would only increase the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

If, according to the previous process, after the impeachment of the imperial history, if it is felt that this matter needs to be investigated, then the emperor should order someone to investigate. This person is either picked by the civil official, which is the so-called triage of the three legal divisions.

Either the emperor himself was dispatched to his own private institutions, such as Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

In fact, it is very simple, to what extent you need to find out and what results you need to find out are all up to you, the emperor, and there will be no chance for others to interfere at all.

What's the use of getting an investigation division out?

Is it not good to use Dongchang or Jinyiwei directly?

Zhu Youzhu didn't believe that with his son's intelligence, he wouldn't be able to see it.

Since his son can see it, and even think of this level a long time ago, why did he still propose to set up this investigation department?

Apparently there's something going on behind here. Although his son didn't say it, Zhu Youzhu also knew in his heart that his son was digging a pit.

The son definitely didn't simply want such a yamen, but wanted to do other things through this yamen. It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, it's just that he doesn't know what else to do.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao really doesn't want such an investigation department, what he wants is the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's just that it's not the current Metropolitan Procuratorate, but his ideal Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao needs to rectify the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and although the establishment of an investigation department seems to be a measure to enhance the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the surface, in fact this is actually reducing the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The greatest power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to coerce blindly, and there will be no punishment for discussing things.

Zhu Houzhao is ready to put this power in a cage, and the final form of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is actually the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Houshi.

After there is a case, the court can investigate first, or even investigate after dismissing officials, but you are not allowed to force yourself. No matter what the case is, let's get the evidence out first.

There is another advantage here, that is, if the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to be promoted, the first thing to be promoted is the person from the Investigation Division.

In other words, you have to find out some cases before you can be promoted. Instead of being like now, there is nothing to do to persuade the emperor and brush up on a wave of prestige.

If you want to do nothing, just by stimulating the emperor to deceive the court staff, it is absolutely not allowed. Only those who do practical things can be promoted, and there is no play for being blind.

This will reduce the criticism of the emperor and change the pompous atmosphere.

You know, this kind of pompous atmosphere is very, very strong now. When it came to the Wanli Dynasty, it would reach its peak.

This kind of pompous atmosphere has never declined since then, until the Donglin Party, they still controlled the government in this way.

When the mouth cannon is invincible, who will go to the right thing?

It's different with the Investigation Division, if you want to be promoted, then you'll have to find out something for me.

After the mouth cannon is useless, these people will naturally change direction.

Zhu Houzhao naturally wouldn't say these things to his father.

"Do you think it's necessary?" Zhu Youzhu looked at his son and asked directly.

There is a reason why he asked this, he really wanted to know his son's true thoughts, that is, why did his son come out of such a yamen?

"Back to my father, my son feels that it is very necessary." Zhu Houzhao bowed and said.

"If an investigation department is established, then the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will naturally be more careful when impeachment. Because no matter what they impeach, someone will investigate and verify. Once the matter of his impeachment is not true, then it is okay once or twice, and he will lose face after three or five times. ”

"The most important thing is that there are so many imperial histories in the world, if it is really launched, there are too many impeachment matters, and it is difficult for the father and emperor to deal with it. It is just right to let the Investigation Division deal with it first, for example, if it comes from all over the country, it can also be handed over to the Investigation Division. ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youzhu had a smile on his face, and he had a feeling of deep approval.

In fact, since the imperial court implemented the secret recital, Zhu Youjiao's workload has increased greatly.

Most of this is impeachment, and if you can strip it away, then things will be much easier.

You must know that there is a son who is helping you deal with these secret folds, if you don't have a son to deal with it, you will probably be exhausted to death by yourself.

As for the one that my son said earlier, it's also a very good thing, so that the imperial historians don't want to be blind anymore, and they must know that they are annoyed enough.

Glancing at Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youzhu opened his mouth and asked, "Who do you think is suitable?" ”

"Back to my father, my son thinks that Liu Qi, the head of the household, is more suitable." Zhu Houzhao said.

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youzhu was a little helpless.

His son is really undisguised. Who is that Liu Qi?

That is the person who was subdued by his son, and his character is extremely poor, and he was promoted by betraying his colleagues when he was in Jiangnan.

Such a person, you actually want to raise him, and put him in such a position.

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but think of a person, this person was the famous cool official Lai Junchen in the Tang Dynasty.

Lai Junchen successively served as the servant of the imperial history and the imperial history, and everyone knows what he has done.

The son is obviously preparing to do this kind of thing with such a person now.

If it weren't for the fear that this kind of dirty hand thing was not suitable for the prince to do, it is estimated that the son actually wanted to take charge of this department himself.

Now I can only find one person to come out.
