Chapter 1308 - Outside and Inside
When the special case team dispatched by the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Inspectorate went to Jiangbei to conduct a detailed investigation, outsiders, even Liu Bagou, did not know that Li Xuan was already preparing to set off a super-large-scale anti-corruption storm.
In Li Xuan's planning, this anti-corruption storm should have a good deterrent effect and a small negative impact.
In order to achieve a good deterrent effect, it is necessary to seize a group of high-powered corrupt officials, and at the same time, the scale should not be small; in addition to high-level heavyweight corrupt officials, middle- and low-level officials are also key targets.
The general step is that the Central Inspectorate will take the lead and arrest the top-level target with the attitude of catching the thief and the king first, and then quickly cooperate with the provincial inspectorates to arrest local corrupt officials at the fourth and third grades, and finally urge the local inspectorates to arrest middle and low-level officials on their own.
What is interesting is that all the middle and high-level targets are actually prepared in advance, and Li Xuan has already drawn out a general scope according to Hantong's top-secret report, except for some special core high-level officials who need Li Xuan's personal order, and the investigation and arrest of other high-level officials are handed over to the Inspectorate to be responsible.
The reason why he did not arrest people directly, but had to conduct another investigation, is because Han Tong's investigation methods are basically not visible, and at the same time, Han Tong's investigation reports are often not very detailed.
Basically, they all directly report that a certain official has corrupt behavior, and the estimated amount is how much and in what way, but for the detailed corruption time, Hantong generally will not conduct targeted investigations, because this is not their task, and Hantong's funds and manpower are also limited, and they have more and more important tasks, and it is impossible to spend too much energy on corruption investigations.
These surveys are often incidental to the daily investigations of Hantong.
And according to these reports, it is not easy to arrest people directly, after all, you have to pay attention to evidence, it is impossible to say that you are corrupt if you say that he is corrupt, you have to come up with conclusive evidence.
Now, the job of the Inspectorate is to conduct an in-depth investigation of each target according to the list provided by Hantong, and get the evidence in hand!
Therefore, when the Inspectorate sent a special team to Jiangbei, it actually began a large-scale secret investigation, not only limited to the Central Inspectorate, but also asked the provincial Inspectorate to cooperate.
It's just that at present, even within the Inspectorate, few people know how huge the scale of this anti-corruption investigation is, and the only ones who know are Shi Wuyan and Cai Siqi, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Shi Wuyan is the Minister on Duty in the Imperial History and the Imperial Study of the Inspectorate, and Li Xuan is personally responsible for the anti-corruption matter.
And Cai Siqi, this person is still not a person in the inspectorate system, in fact, he is not an ordinary administrative official, he was born in the Hanlin Academy, before he was transferred to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Inspectorate as the director of the second grade.
He is the deputy director of the secretariat of the Hanlin Academy, one of the many accompanying secretaries of the Holy Son Li Xuan, what is an accompanying secretary, well, it is basically the kind that follows Li Xuan's ass all day long, carrying tea and carrying bags.
When Li Xuan went out, he walked in the front, accompanied by Liu Bagou or other core high-ranking officials, and behind Li Xuan was the position of their accompanying secretaries.
As for other high-ranking officials, they are on the outer layer.
Of course, in the Hanlin Academy, in fact, whether it is the director, the deputy director, or the section chief, or the accompanying secretary or the first secretary, the second secretary, or the third secretary, these are actually assignments, and these positions themselves have no grade.
His official is the deputy head of the Hanlin Academy, from the third grade.
From the grade of the third grade, he quickly became a high-ranking official from the second grade, this kind of thing is naturally rare in the official system of the Tang Empire, but it is not uncommon for the officials in the Hanlin Academy.
There have been several examples before, such as the secretary of the finance department back then, who was transferred from the Hanlin Academy, and this person's grade was lower back then, and he didn't become a high-ranking official of the second grade with a sigh.
Of course, there is also a process for promoting quickly, and there will be a transition period in the middle, during which Li Xuan usually arranges vacant positions for them frequently, and then uses them to improve their grades.
Cai Siqi's promotion path is no exception, as a political star who has entered the Hanlin Academy three times before and after, his career path is much smoother than Chen Lifu and his ilk.
He is a typical example of the new generation of officials in the empire, what is the new generation of officials, that is, the officials who entered the imperial examination after the establishment of the empire.
He didn't enter the office early, at the beginning he was a county magistrate in the local area, and half a year was transferred to the county magistrate, and at the end of his term of office, he was transferred back to the Hanlin Academy because of his outstanding political performance, and later was released to serve as the governor because of his excellent work, but he was soon transferred back to the Hanlin Academy, this time he entered the secretariat as a first-class secretary, and finally became Li Xuan's accompanying secretary.
After the expiration of the three-year term of the secretary, he was sent to work in the Ministry of Officials, and then transferred to Hangzhou as the prefect, but obviously, this is another gilded road, working in the Ministry of Officials for three months, serving in Hangzhou for half a year, and after more than half a year, he was recalled to the Hanlin Academy by an edict from Li Xuan. The third time he served in the Hanlin Academy, he still served as Li Xuan's accompanying secretary.
Last year, he was officially promoted to the deputy director of the secretariat, and at the same time was awarded the bachelor's degree of deputy head of the Hanlin Academy, with the grade of Congsanpin.
Well, every transfer he made was arranged by Li Xuan!
In other words, this person is actually a young official that Li Xuan focuses on cultivating, if he has been following the path of an ordinary administrative official, it is estimated that he would have been a high-ranking official above the second grade, but Li Xuan feels that this person is available, and it is a rare relatively honest official in the imperial officialdom, coupled with years of contact, Li Xuan also knows this person well, so he has always left him to work in the Hanlin Academy.
Before Li Xuan engaged in judicial independence, he had already arranged for him to hold various false positions, first arranged for him to serve as the leader of the judicial reform inspection team to inspect Jiangnan Province, and on the way, he gave him a false title of the third rank of the right capital imperial history, and then after he came back, he added a false title of the left capital imperial history, which is still the third grade, but this positive third product is half a level higher than the positive three products of the right capital imperial history.
In the tradition of the imperial bureaucracy, the left is more noble than the right, for example, the squire of each ministry, the left squire and the right squire are both from the second rank, but the right squire is changed to the left squire, which is regarded as a promotion, and vice versa, is a demotion, correspondingly, the real power is also different.
A few days later, Li Xuan officially dismissed him from the dispatch of his deputy director of the Secretariat, but the dispatch of the accompanying secretary was still retained, and he was asked to temporarily supervise the reorganization of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Inspectorate.
At that time, many people still couldn't understand it, but after the successful reform of judicial independence, Li Xuan dismissed Cai Siqi's 'accompanying secretary', let him completely disassociate himself from the Hanlin Yuan, and then officially appointed him as the director of the anti-corruption bureau of the reformed Inspectorate.
At the same time, his official was also promoted to the right deputy imperial envoy, and his rank was from the second rank.
It took him less than a month to go from the third grade to the second grade, and even to upgrade to two levels.
However, this kind of rapid promotion, many high-ranking officials know it, and this is a matter of course.
Don't look at the low grade of people before, just a third-grade person, but you must know that after he entered the official career, most of the time he actually worked in the secretariat, and served as Li Xuan's accompanying secretary for seven years.
In front of Li Xuan, the weight of his words would not be much lighter than those waiters!
In addition, in the pre-Ming Dynasty, it was also common for the Hanlin Academy to ascend to the sky in one step to become the servants of various ministries, Shangshu and even become cabinet ministers, and now the Hanlin Academy of the Tang Empire actually has this effect.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this person has been promoted two levels in a row, of course, there are still very few Hanlin people in the Hanlin Academy, who are promoted quickly, and then ascend to the sky in one step to become a high-ranking official in the ministry.
Only a few people can have this kind of opportunity!
And most of these few people have a common characteristic, that is, they have entered the Hanlin Academy many times.
This has entered the Hanlin Academy many times, and has basically blocked more than 99% of the Hanlin people.
Because the number of officials serving in the Hanlin Academy is maintained at more than 300 people all year round, and because there is no longer a rigid rule that the internal promotion of the Hanlin Academy can no longer be carried out, at least hundreds of people are basically released every year, and then new personnel are selected from the local government to work in the Hanlin Academy.
It's just that after ordinary officials are basically released, they basically have no hope of returning to the Hanlin Academy, and being able to enter the Hanlin Academy for gilding is basically the biggest opportunity in their lives, and it is also the envy of countless officials.
However, a very small number of people were able to get the opportunity to return to Hallym Temple, and even fewer people were able to return to Hallym Temple for the third or even fourth time.
And these very few officials who can return to serve in the Hanlin Academy are all the sons of Tianjiao, and they are all officials on Li Xuan's training list.
As a person who was able to return to the Hanlin Academy three times to serve, and finally became the deputy head of the academy, Cai Siqi was already a candidate for the cabinet minister in the eyes of others.
It is not surprising that everyone was promoted to the second rank, but what surprised everyone was why he served as the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
You know, this person has never done any supervision affairs before, will he arrest corrupt officials?
The answer is, Zeiss really won't!
Catching corrupt officials, this is not his strength, what is his strength?
He will unswervingly carry out Li Xuan's orders, and he was born in the Hanlin Academy, and he is actually two systems from ordinary cabinet officials, and he has no interests in the people within the Inspectorate.
What's more, he actually came on behalf of Li Xuan!
He only needs to complete this task on behalf of Li Xuan to press the officials of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, then it will be a success!
With a person, in fact, it doesn't need him to know anything, but to see what kind of role he plays, and Cai Siqi is in charge of the anti-corruption bureau, even if he doesn't understand the anti-corruption thing at all, but he just needs to know that he can fully implement Li Xuan's will.
To arrest corrupt officials, there are many people in the anti-corruption bureau who understand, and what Cai Siqi needs to do is to use the people in the anti-corruption bureau.
He has served in the Hanlin Academy for many years, and he is not good at catching corrupt officials, but he is still very confident when it comes to things like employing people, power tricks, conspiracy, and conspiracy.
Without this kind of ability, he would have been killed in the fiercely competitive Hanlin Academy, how could he climb all the way to the position of the deputy head of the academy!
The first thing Cai Siqi did after taking office was to send a Jiangbei task force and then conduct an internal investigation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, in order to seize the real power of the Anti-Corruption Bureau as soon as possible.
As for the corrupt officials outside, for Zeiszi, there is no hurry!
As a professional politician who has been tested by political battles for a long time, he is well aware of the need to settle the situation at home.
If you want to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty, you must first clean up the inside of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!
