Chapter 130: The Storm (2)

Sending someone to send him away, Liu Xun immediately made a decision.

"Huang Xie!" Liu Xun called Huang Xie and instructed, "Send someone to summon the main officials of the Imperial Doctor Yamen!" ”

To deal with this matter well, Wei Xiang must cooperate.

The reason is very simple, at this time, the Imperial Historian Yamen is known as the Yaxiang, and there are many things that can be managed.

According to the Han system, the imperial history doctor, the rank of the prime minister, the law of the canon, the post of each other, the general leader of the hundred officials, the upper and lower ministers of the prison! ’

Therefore, since the old Taiwei official was abolished, the imperial historian conformed to the situation and squeezed into the sequence of the three dukes.

What is the Three Princes?

What does the Three Princes say in "Spring and Autumn"? The appearance of the Son of Heaven? Why is the Son of Heaven three? From Shaanxi to the east, the princess of Zhou, from Shaanxi to the west, call the princess, and get along with each other!

And in the Han Dynasty, the Imperial Doctor did have the actual authority of the Three Princes!

Basically, you can think of the Imperial Historian Yamen as a combination of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection + the General Office of the Central Committee + the Secretariat and part of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

Because the authority of the imperial historian was extremely heavy in the Han Dynasty, it was that people often combined the prime minister's mansion and the imperial historian's yamen into two mansions.

Whether it is a Hanshu or a historical record, or a Sanfu Huangtu, such statements are not uncommon.

Half an hour later, the imperial historian Wei Xiang had already come to the Weiyang Palace.

Wei Xiang led the forty-five adjutants up and down the Yamen of the Imperial Doctor.

"The minister greets Your Majesty!" Wei Xiang stepped forward and bowed to Liu Xun.

"Wait, please ......," Liu asked.

"Your Majesty," Wei Xiang bowed his head and said.

In the Han Dynasty, the Imperial Historian's Yamen and the Prime Minister's Mansion were separated by only one wall, and both were actually built within the palace wall near the north of Weiyang Palace.

Even, some of the subordinate officials of these two yamen simply worked in the palace.

For example, the imperial history of the Yamen of the imperial historian is in charge of the affairs of the palace, you must know that at this time, not all of the palace are eunuchs, there are a large number of imperial history, Shangshu, confessors and servants and Lang Zhong Tianzi close attendants, these officials, all of them are civil officials!

Therefore, the right to manage these people fell on Yu Shicheng.

Liu Xun raised his head and looked at all the officials of the Imperial Doctor's Yamen.

It is no wonder that in the previous life, after Wei became the imperial doctor, he was like a wild horse, and no one could stop him.

It's really that the authority of this yamen is too heavy!

As soon as Wei Xiang became the master, he immediately became like a fish in water and exerted his super combat effectiveness.

"Your Majesty......" Wei Xiang saw Liu Xun looking at the imperial historian and the official Fameng, and explained on the side, "It will be the end of the year, and the counties and counties in the world will supervise the imperial history and the imperial historians stationed in the vassal states have returned, and in addition, this year is the first big examination year after the accession to the throne today, so the county guards from all over the country will also enter Beijing one after another to report on their work, and the ministers are a little busier here......"

Liu Xun nodded, and said with a smile, "Qing has worked state affairs, and ...... has worked hard."

"Don't dare, serving Your Majesty is the duty of a minister!" Wei Xiang responded with a smile.

"The Son of Heaven summoned, I'm afraid there is something ......" Wei Xiang is naturally not stupid, he summoned the Yamen of the Imperial Doctor late at night, if there is nothing to do, the ghost believes!

Throughout the history of the Han Dynasty, it is common for the Son of Heaven to transform heaven and earth!

Sometimes, Wei Xiang couldn't help but think that this tossing and turning, it was hard to guarantee that he would not poke out some basket.

It's going to look good then!

But then again, even if the son of the Liu family pokes a hole in the sky, it will be at most a damage to his reputation.

The Han family has been around for more than a hundred years, and the Son of Heaven has been in the past dynasties, that is not imaginative, and the means are extraordinary!

Liu Xun took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then asked, "Please introduce one or two sitting Junjie for me!" ”

Wei Xiang didn't understand what kind of medicine Liu Xungourd was selling, but it was the courtier's duty to introduce the minister to the Son of Heaven.

So, Wei Xiang got up patiently, bowed to Liu Xun, and introduced.

"Your Majesty...... This one, is the minister's deputy, Xue Cai, a native of Henan County, was raised as the county commander of Anyang County in 11 years, and was appointed as Sima of Heshang County in 13 years, and moved to the imperial history of Shu County. A man who was about forty years old stood up, smiled at Liu Xun, and bowed, "Chen Cai, please see Your Majesty!" Your Majesty is well! ”

"I'm safe!" Liu Xun said.

The Imperial History Doctor Yamen is registered in the imperial history of Beijing, and there are constant forty-five people.

According to the system, these forty-five people are divided into five Cao, and the chief officials of the five Cao are called Shiyushi, who are in charge of the supervision and impeachment power of each Cao.

And the one in charge of these five Cao is Yu Shicheng.

However, in the Han Dynasty, there were actually two imperial historians.

One is called Yu Shi Cheng, who sits on this Xue Cai's work, assists Yu Shi Dafu, manages the affairs of the palace, and is responsible for communicating with Lantai and dealing with various edicts and documents of the Son of Heaven.

Authority is not insignificant!

But Liu Xun didn't have any intention of befriending this person at the moment.

The reason is that the real real power figures, the big masters who hold the power, and the most important target of Liu Xun here, have not yet appeared.

Wei Xiang took a step back, pointed to a man in his fifties who was relatively old in many imperial histories, and introduced, "Your Highness, this one, is also the deputy of the minister, Wang Ke, a native of Hanoi, has been serving for 14 years, because of his diligence in serving the first emperor, Jia is a doctor, and later served as the imperial history of the state of Chu, which was deeply appreciated by the late king of Chu and recommended to the first emperor, so he recalled Chang'an and served as the deputy envoy of the imperial history for eight years!" The officials of the county and state of the world are thus in public custody! ”

"Even His Majesty thinks that the elders and ministers always respect him!" Wei Xiang said sincerely.

"The minister can meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe!" Wang Ke bowed slightly, but there was no expression on his face, and he always kept a straight face.

Liu Xun listened, and also carefully looked at this Wang Ke.

Although this imperial historian is one of the older ones among the many imperial histories, he is still energetic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, high cheekbones, and a little thin face, but he has a taste of not being angry and arrogant, and the image of the whole person is more similar to the former prime minister of the Celestial Empire, known as the minefield.

Liu Xun smiled slightly, "The deputy envoy is polite, I often hear people say, the deputy envoy Wang Ke, not smiling, when I see it today, it is worthy of the name......"

This is the person Liu Xun is mainly looking for here.

Because according to the Han system, the deputy envoy of the imperial history is the deputy of the imperial historian, although the rank ratio is no more than a thousand stones, but it has the authority to supervise the hundreds of officials in the world and impeach Jiuqing.

It is no exaggeration to say that when he meets this one, even if it is a two-thousand-stone feudal official, in front of him, he has to laugh!

At this time, the deputy envoy of the imperial history is the secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Western Han Dynasty!

In the future, the authority of the deputy envoy of the imperial history continued to expand.

When Emperor Xiaowu was in power, he set up the Department of Thorn History, which was under the management of the Imperial History, and stripped off the Imperial History, even now, the predecessor of the Assassin History, the county supervision of the Imperial History and the supervision of the imperial history of various countries, are also under the management of the Imperial History!

Therefore, the Imperial History Observatory is set up again

He was appointed as a deputy envoy to manage the main work of the Imperial Observatory

The so-called supervision of the imperial history.

This is an official position invented by Qin Shi Huang, which, like the Imperial Historian, was created to strengthen the centralization of power.

In the Han Dynasty, this system was still followed to strengthen the central government's control over the localities and prevent the princes and local county guards from getting out of the way.

Otherwise, with the authority of the princes, kings and county guards, if there is no deterrent on the surface, they want to kill people and kill people, and they want to rob the people's daughters and rob the people's daughters, the world must not be spoiled by these guys?

According to the later Three Kingdoms period, Xiahou Xuan said that the first king was like this, so he focused on his duties and unified his business. Beginning in the Qin Dynasty, he did not learn the holy way, took the royal position privately, and waited for the treacherous; Afraid of the failure of the ruler to repair, the superintendent is set up to supervise the appearance of the superintendent, and the superintendent is set up to correct it; The prime minister is tired, the supervision is different, and the people have different intentions. Han Cheng Qixu, Mo Kuang can not change.

This is Xiahou Xuan's analysis of the imperial history of the Western Han Dynasty in his dialogue with Sima Yi before he became Cao Wei's general of the expedition to the west.

From this, we can still get a glimpse of the function of supervising the imperial history in the Western Han Dynasty.

Of course, in the eyes of the gate valve of the Three Kingdoms, this supervision of the imperial history is really necrotic, and setting up this position is disrespectful to us, the 'kind gentry', and the tyranny of the Qin State, which is very bad!

However, at this time, the Han court paid more and more attention to the supervision of the imperial history and the deputy envoy of the imperial history who supervised the imperial history.

In the following decades, the deputy envoy of the imperial history will replace the imperial historian and merge with the imperial historian Zhongcheng to become one of the three dukes.

It is basically equivalent to the secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Celestial Dynasty in the later generations entering the elder group and obtaining the right to vote, which is an irresistible and necessary trend of development!

Wei Xiang then introduced the thirteen imperial histories to Liu Xun.

These people either hold the title of a servant of the imperial history, or they also hold the position of a certain Cao imperial history.

Like Xue Cai and Wang Ke, they all have one thing in common, they all have a name in the palace.

The prefix in the palace of the imperial history is probably equivalent to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of later generations in the Han Dynasty, and they have the right to speak and vote, and when they see something unpleasant, they can directly spray.

These fifteen imperial historians who have been given titles in the palace are the real elites and powerful figures of the imperial historian yamen.

The remaining thirty imperial histories are basically playing soy sauce, and at most they assist someone in dealing with or investigating something in the palace.

But don't underestimate them!

In the Han Dynasty, it was an era of continuous expansion of the monarchy's power.

In order to strengthen the power of the monarchy, the emperor continued to strengthen the authority of the imperial history.

In the middle of the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, he hung the imperial history of the embroidered messenger, and even mobilized the county team to suppress the rebels and bandits.

The famous Jiang Chong even dragged a prince of the Han family to accompany him to the funeral!

At this time, the combat effectiveness of these low-key imperial historians who are not good-looking is also quite good.

Many of them themselves have the right to supervise some key yamen.

For example, key departments such as Shaofu and Neishi Yamen.

This is like in later generations, although a certain deputy mayor is ranked low and is not normal, the authority in his hand is not small at all!

After listening to Wei Xiang's introduction, Liu Xun forcibly memorized the names, appearances, places of origin, and resumes of these 15 people.

It doesn't hurt to memorize the words of a person in a powerful institution like the Imperial Historian Yamen, and one day he may need to promote one of the commissions.

After the introduction, Wei Xiang asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the summons is ordering?"

Liu Xun repeated what Hu Jian and Xu Xiangru told him to Wei Xiang.

After listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, Wei Xiang pondered.

The meaning of the Son of Heaven is very clear to Wei Xiang. It is nothing more than asking him to order Wang Ke, the deputy envoy of the imperial history, to call the county commanders, county lieutenants, and officials of the internal history yamen to give lectures.

Use the authority of the Imperial Historical Observatory to put pressure on the county orders in Guanzhong.

Let these county commanders go back and take care of the pavilion chiefs and tour payers under them.

This method is also the only solution that Liu Xun can think of now.

As the saying goes, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp.

The whole officialdom is a complete biological chain.

Standing at the top of the food chain. There is no doubt that it is Liu Xun, the son of heaven.

However, sometimes they are big and may not be able to deal with small shrimps.

It's like a lion can't help a rat that makes a hole.

The only people who can really manage the pavilion chiefs and tour chiefs in the counties of Guanzhong are their respective top bosses, county commanders and county lieutenants.

Because, the system of the Han family, the pavilion chief and the tour payment, were appointed and dismissed by the county order.

These guys' black gauze hats are pinched in the hands of the county magistrate and county lieutenant above.

And the black gauze hats of the county commander and the county lieutenant were pinched in the hands of the imperial historian.

Especially now that it is approaching the end of the year, the performance appraisal is about to begin, and whether these county lieutenants go home to farm or be promoted or rewarded and retained is all subject to the next group of ministers.

And in this, the Imperial Historian Yamen will play an important role.

It is no exaggeration to say that the careers of these county orders and county lieutenants depend on the evaluation given by the Imperial Historical Observatory.

In fact, the imperial historian of the Han family did not care much about the imperial historians, and the main job of the imperial historian was to assist the emperor, convey the imperial order, and assist the prime minister in the formulation of policies and annual performance appraisals.

For example, Gu Yong, when he later declared the emperor, said, "The imperial historian inherits the weathering of the dynasty inside, and the prime minister rules the world outside, and he has a heavy responsibility ......"

In the Han book, there are "the prime minister under the matter, and the case of the imperial history (doctor) is very urgent......" and "Tang plays every dynasty, and the language is used by the country...... Everything in the world depends on the soup" and other scattered records.

At this time, according to the rules set by Liu Bang.

After the policy of the Han family was determined, the emperor's intentions and will were conveyed to the prime minister by the imperial historian, and then the prime minister promulgated it for implementation.

For example, the historical records record the edict of Emperor Gao in the eleventh year

Delivery program "Emperor Gao under the imperial history of the doctor Chang (Zhou Chang), the imperial history of the emperor under the Xiangguo Zhanhou (Xiao He), the princes and kings of the Xiangguo"

Therefore, in fact, the imperial historian of the Han dynasty did not care about the specific work of the imperial historian yamen.

The daily work and management of the Imperial Historian's Yamen are all completed by the Imperial Historian and the Imperial Historian.

This is because the work content of the imperial historians of the Western Han Dynasty is not only as powerful as the imperial historians of the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties in later generations, impeaching one or two corrupt officials, and hearing about things is as simple, easy and enjoyable.

In fact, in the beginning, the imperial historians were minor officials in the Qin court.

To put it simply, Qin Shi Huang promoted a group of close secretaries who served him to strengthen the monarchy.

From the Qin to the Han Dynasty, there were many things that the imperial historians could manage.

Sometimes, they have to take care of the project.

For example, in the historical records, you can see the records of the supervision of the imperial history in many places and the work of supervising the construction of the project.

For example, in the Hanshu "Yan Zhu Biography", there is a record of "making the prison Lu dig a ditch channel", and the so-called "Jian Lu" refers to a famous supervision of the imperial history.

Sometimes, they had to manage the order of the court and maintain royal etiquette.

For example, at the beginning, Shusun Tong came up with a complex set of court etiquette, who performed it for Liu Bang?

The answer is the Imperial History and the Servants......

Therefore, the imperial history is divided into two kinds at this time, one is the imperial history of the Qin Dynasty in the past, which is the work of a secretary and specializes in serving the emperor.

However, with the development and evolution of the times, this business was gradually replaced by civil officials such as the rising star Shaofu's Shangshu.

As a result, the imperial historians changed their careers one after another, and began to do the work of supervising and impeaching officials.

However, in the Western Han Dynasty, there was no privilege for officials to hear about things, let alone the privilege of talking nonsense as long as they wore a big hat for the country and the people. At this time, the impeachment of the imperial history must be justified.

Especially when it comes to giants of more than 2,000 stones, there must be instructions or hints from the emperor before they will spray.

Before the fall, there was not a single impeachment of the imperial history.

As soon as he fell, he was immediately trampled on as the 'biggest thief of all time', and whether there was one or not, the basin was detained on the heads of these two.

At this time, the biggest business of the imperial history is not impeachment.

On the contrary, the main job of the imperial historian is to examine and evaluate the administration of a particular official.

After the evaluation is given, the hundred officials will deliberate together with the emperor to decide on the promotion and future of the official.

As for Wang Ke, the deputy envoy of the imperial history who is in charge of this work.

Wang Ke's own job is to inspect the world's document book, supervise the imperial history, and inspect all the documents played by the ministers.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Liu Xun came to Wang Ke to deal with this matter.

However, Liu Xun did not summon Wang Ke so directly, because Wei Xiang was quickly promoted to the imperial historian, and his foundation was already unstable! It is better to take this opportunity to increase the prestige of Wei Xiang

In today's Han Dynasty, except for Liu Xun, no one can bypass the Imperial Historian to give orders directly to the Imperial Historian, let alone instruct the Imperial Historian to participate in this step of putting pressure on local officials, but if Liu Xun consults with the Imperial Historian on everything, the people of the world will only praise each other, thinking that Wei Xiang is the confidant of the Son of Heaven.

Wei Xiang turned around and let Wang Ke, the deputy envoy of the imperial history, come out and solve the worries for the Son of Heaven

Liu Xun briefly introduced to Wang Ke the problems he encountered and his own worries.

After listening to this, Wang Ke pondered for a moment, and then bowed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter will be handled by the ministers!" ”

That's quite an atmospheric statement.

Liu Xun nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, Liu Xun was ready to fight with the bureaucrats in Guanzhong for a few rounds.

But before he thought about it, Wang Ke patted his chest and assured him almost without thinking.

Looking at the other party's confident appearance, Liu Xun touched his forehead and didn't say anything.

In Guanzhong, the Han government's ability to control was far beyond the imagination of later dynasties.

Starting from Liu Bang, the Liu family regarded Guanzhong as their last base, and once there was something in the world, they operated it as their nest.

The tentacles of the government in Guanzhong are not limited to county offices and cities, but go deep into the localities, touching all the li and each pavilion.

Elsewhere, it might be tricky.

But in Guanzhong, it's just an official document.

Because, in Guanzhong, such insignificant figures who are not even officials in the small local areas are all registered in Shaofu.

As for the grassroots government officials such as the pavilion chief, the widower, and the tour fee, they were actually appointed by the internal history yamen.

Therefore, for Wang Ke, this matter is also a matter of writing an official document to the internal history yamen.

As long as it shows the attitude of the royal family to know about this.

The people below, as long as they are not stupid, will never dare to do that again.

Because, before, you could still say that you were egged on, ignorant or something.

But the official documents are here, and they are still the official documents from the Imperial Doctor's Yamen, and if you still have to work against the royal family, then you must have bad intentions.

Those with bad intentions don't need to be polite!

Back then, how did Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, die?

The answer is that there is too much horse urine in Gukou County, Guanzhong, and a total of seventy people, forty ox carts and carriages are gathered. claimed to contact South Vietnam and the Xiongnu and rebelled......

Then it was suppressed by the prefectural order of Taniguchi Prefecture.
