For those in power, nothing can be done on a whim. There must be an opportunity to do so.

For example, a time-traveler like Guan Yi is not a law major. But he lives in an era of information explosion, and his legal ideas may be at the lower-middle level in modern society. But compared to the jurists of ancient Greece and Rome, it is not necessarily much worse. In this case, he wants to inject some advanced concepts of Greek and Roman civilization into the traditional Chinese civilization, can't he go directly to it?

Yes, yes. But this is not effective, because everyone will have doubts and even resistance. A bad one will cause opposition from the whole people.

What if Li Mi's huge mission returned with envoys and books from Rome and Persia? That's completely different: oh, it turns out that there really is a country in the world where there is no emperor. It turns out that there are other countries in the world that can be rich without farming and grazing. It turns out that there are still countries in the world whose civilization is not inferior to ours...... Then Guan Da Sima wants to do something, and it will be twice the result with half the effort to promote it. Not only that, in this process, Guan Da Sima wanted to add some private goods into it, but it was not easier.

Yongliang's official style is too far worse than Yizhou's. Guan Yi had actually noticed it a long time ago - Da Sima was no longer the little Taishou of the past. In the past few months, the counties have run down, and the local officials in various places are actually very clear in Da Sima's heart. But it is clear and clear, but it can't be heavy-handed: on the one hand, the most important theme in the Yongliang area for most of the year is stability. On the other hand, there is a lack of an opportunity: if there is no such thing as Chen Xi and Zhang Hui, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be directly established. The officials in Yongliang must be dissatisfied: Why, discriminate against us northerners? And the officials in Yizhou must have been dissatisfied before: Why, you didn't do this when everyone was bitter in the past, but now that the days are a little more relaxed, you just do it, you can't see that we are doing well, right?

But now with the Chen Xi case, it's different. Da Sima's brother-in-law has been swept to the end, what else do you have to say? The children of local families set aside the county magistrate, threw aside the country's policy of benefiting the people, and used natural disasters to form greater man-made disasters, so as to expand their estates. Is this nature bad? Shouldn't it be strictly controlled? Shouldn't a new department be created to scrutinize?

It is not that no one has raised objections to the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which has great powers. However, in the face of the Chen Xi case, all opposition turned into powder.

It's not that no one has publicly questioned Guan Yi's handling of the case to the whole people in the form of a newspaper: If the Diao people knew about it, they wouldn't have lost confidence in the government? When an enemy country like Jin and Wu knew about this, didn't they make a big fuss about it and slander me, a Han official, a greedy official, and a traitor?

But in Guan Yi's view, such opposition is all nonsense: Do you really think that the common people are idiots? Don't you make it public, so that something like this doesn't happen? Won't the common people feel it? Instead, it was communiquéed, letting the people know: "Oh, it turns out that the government is against this kind of thing." In the future, we should report such things to the ICAC. "In this way, we can better prevent similar things from happening.

As for Jin Wu using this matter to slander Ji Han? The same reason: the people of Jin and Wu are not stupid. Their first reaction after seeing such a thing was: Why did Ji Han resolutely suppress such a thing, but the government of his country turned a blind eye or even happy to see it happen?

Just as before the Yellow Turban Incident, a widely circulated song in the Eastern Han Dynasty society sang: "Hair is like a leek, cut and reborn." The head is like a chicken, cutting and recalling; Officials don't have to be fearful, and small people are never to be taken lightly. "Don't think that the common people are stupid just because the literacy rate is not high and the information exchange is not developed in this era. Whoever thinks like that will not be punished himself, and sooner or later his children will be punished.

All in all, by virtue of the Chen Xi case. The ICAC that Guan Da Sima has always wanted to get in his heart has been established.

With the promulgation of the "Decree on the Establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption" in June 269. Ji Han's officialdom and even the people of the whole country were blinded by the huge power and generous treatment of the ICAC.

The institution is divided into four levels. The first level is the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is directly subordinate to Da Sima himself. The chief officer is called the Great Honest Envoy and is directly responsible to the Great Sima himself. The annual salary is a genuine 10,000 stones. Unless dereliction of duty or physical inability to undertake work, the term of office is for life.

Under the great clean envoy, there are three departments: execution, prevention and introduction. As the name suggests, they are in charge of investigation and evidence collection, prevention education, and receiving reports.

The state has a state incorruptible envoy, which is at the same level as the state assassin history. His appointment is vertically appointed by the Independent Commission Against Corruption and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the State Assassin History.

The county is made by the county, and the county has the county is the county leader. All of them are with the same county Taishou and county order enemies. Under the integrity envoys at all levels, they have their own direct officials.

The financial support of the yamen of the honest envoys at all levels is directly allocated by the Dasima Mansion according to the actual income of the year and in accordance with a certain proportion. In this way, the personnel and financial rights of the ICAC are relatively independent. And anyone who has been in the system knows that if these two powers are independent, then the department will basically run rampant.

"Maotong, what's the matter, I've fought for you enough convenience under great pressure."

Guan Yi said that it was really not hypocritical to withstand the great pressure: although Da Sima was covering the sky inside Ji Han. But there is also the presence of opposition. Not to mention anything else, the emperor in Chengdu has a lot of little Jiujiu in his heart. Holding high the banner of anti-corruption at this time, I don't know how many officials who were unstable in the past will make up their minds to move closer to His Majesty the Emperor: Your Majesty, it is too much for Da Sima to doubt our integrity so much. Please also ask Your Majesty to show your might and wipe out the three clans by Guan Zifeng, a madman. In this way, we righteous men and gentlemen can serve you without supervision!

"Da Sima, the lower officials are grateful! Please also rest assured that with the ICAC, the absolute integrity of the Han people may not be possible, but the overall integrity, and even the official style and political style exceed the period when the prime minister was in charge, the lower officials are deeply confident. ”

"Well, I don't know if you noticed? In fact, the ICAC only has prosecutorial powers, but no adjudication or enforcement powers. ”

"The lower officials have noticed. Xia Guan also thinks that this is very good. Otherwise, the power of the ICAC is too great, which will lead to the corruption of the ICAC itself. ”

"Yes. Some time ago, I received a letter from Ling Bo from Shule. If all went well for them at this time, they should have reached Sasanian. I think it will turn around in the second half of next year. When the time comes, I will rebuild the Great Han Law. Then a new department was created to make the judiciary independent as well. ”

"Xia Guan understood. At this stage, after the ICAC finds out the problem, it still needs to be adjudicated and enforced by the local county government, Taishou Mansion and Assassin History Office. There are bound to be a lot of drawbacks in this. But these drawbacks will definitely be a sharp weapon for Da Sima to rebuild the Great Han Law after Ling Bo returns. ”

"Hahahaha~~ Maotong, you're not wrong at all. It is necessary for the ICAC and the current administrative organs at all levels to continue to argue, so that it is possible for this official to make the judicial power independent. It's just that in the past year and a half, you have to suffer more grievances. ”

"It doesn't matter, this is what the lower officials are willing to accept. Is it just the manpower of this incorruptible envoy yamen? ”

"Well, I will transfer a sufficient number of personnel from the current Lang officials in the imperial court, the Si Wen envoys in Si Wen Cao, and the personnel laid off in the former Si Yan School Governor's Mansion to enrich the Yamen at all levels. Most of the Lang officials are young, and they are full of ideals when they are young, and they dare to think and do. Si Wencao's people are good at probing information and collecting evidence. And the people in Si Yan's Captain's Mansion, hehe, they used to be more or less related to greedy ink, and they are extremely familiar with all the methods of corrupt officials. With their joining, Maotong's work should be twice as effective with half the effort! ”

"Da Sima's arrangement is very precise! Well, the lower officials have one more thing to ask for. ”

"Please."

"The ICAC is newly completed, and I also ask Da Sima to write an inscription for the ICAC's door couplet, just like the two colleges of Longshouyuan and Wuzhangyuan."

“…… Hmm~~ The door is not a question. Let me write six words for the ICAC. You can make him the wall of every incorruptible envoy yamen. ”

"Please show me."

Guan Yi asked people to take pen and ink, and wrote the six characters "openness, fairness, and justice" very seriously.

"Maotong, the word honesty must be done. The first is to be public. Put everything in the sun. This should start with the ICAC itself. ”

“…… Da Sima, Xia Guan understood. When ICAC officers are in place. First of all, starting from the lower officials, everyone made their private property and family relations public. The amount of property is updated every year. In addition, all cases will be made public as much as possible on the premise of protecting whistleblowers. ”

"Very good, that's exactly what it is. Only with openness can we be fair and just. If the three public officials have done this, the quality of the ICAC's work will be guaranteed. However, to disclose their private property, hehe, not everyone is willing. ”

"There's no way, since you want to be an honest envoy, you are not honest, how can you ask others? The lower officials will make it clear to those who are preparing to join the ICAC Yamen that they are unwilling or do not truthfully declare their personal assets. They are not allowed to join the ICAC. It would be better for the ICAC to be short-staffed than to allow this standard to be lowered. Only by allowing the ICAC people to be supervised by everyone at all times can the ICAC people always be vigilant! ”
