In the past two or three hundred years, the Central Plains has experienced countless beacon fires, wars, separatism, and killings......! The Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, behind these majestic names, are the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, white bones and darkness.

No one likes war, but fate is so cruel. Divide and merge, the general trend of the world! If you want peace and quiet, you have to go through pools of blood and blades.

Emperor Gaozu returned with the Mandate of Heaven and finally ended the war at the end of Qin. Seventy years have passed since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and the dawn of prosperity has appeared, and peace has finally returned to this land.

However, it is easier to destroy than to build, and the reproduction of the population is particularly slow. Even after the rule of Wenjing, the population of the counties in the world is not large, and there are no people everywhere.

In such a situation, the best policy is to relax the people's livelihood, abolish all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and create a relaxed environment for the common people in the world.

The establishment of the Imperial Court was intended to rule the scales of the law and restrain the behavior of the subjects. However, today, the role of the Tingwei Mansion has been greatly deviated from the track.

The spirit of the law formulated by the Spring and Autumn Legalists regards the "law" above all else. The so-called "don't be close to each other, don't be noble, and break off the law!" ”。 Even the Son of Heaven is within the norms of the law, and the law is the same as the people, which is public law. Enforce the law fairly, the law is not expensive, and the world will put it into practice, this is called the real rule of law.

However, the so-called law enforcement of the Imperial Governor's Office has evolved into a narrow authoritarianism. The object of its service is only the emperor himself, and what it advocates is the dictatorship of the monarch who centralizes power. How can there be a true rule of law under such a system? The successive chiefs of the Tingwei Mansion, named as representatives of the law of the Han Dynasty, were in fact nothing more than the walking dead of the imperial power, becoming cool officials.

In many cases, they are both those who enforce the law and those who pervert the law, acting arbitrarily and doing many evils. They do not really use the law to rectify the world, but often declare personal vendetta and rule outside the law. Those who have nothing to do, with sin, sinful bodies, have nothing! The arbitrariness of the law's grasp of the court is jaw-dropping. In terms of its essence, it also lies in the fact that the imperialist nature of the law determines the result of this confusion, and in the name of the emperor, it is called law enforcement, but in fact it is lawless.

If they are allowed to toss like this, sooner or later they will follow the old road of history. Ministers, generals, queens, princes, and the people of the world will all become victims...... Countless unjust prisons were all concocted by the hands of the Tingwei Mansion, and finally caused irreparable tragedies and thousands of lives were destroyed. It is not without reason that the history books of later generations evaluated the corruption of the Han Dynasty officials by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

For such a Tingwei Mansion, Yuan Zhao has hated it for a long time. But I've been so busy with other things that I don't have time to worry about it. This time, they actually provoked themselves, and if they didn't take the opportunity to strike a good blow, let alone when.

In this meeting in the palace of Bowangyuan, except for the dialogue between Yuan Zhao and the emperor, only Mrs. Wei and the crown prince Liu Ju were present, and there were no outsiders in the rest. As for what kind of outspoken advice Yuan Zhao carried out, there is no detailed record in the history books written by Tai Shiling, and future generations have no way of knowing.

However, as the confrontation between the Marquis of Changle and the Tingwei Mansion outside Chang'an City gradually spread, many people have found clues from it. The Tingwei Mansion, which has always been invincible, has been much more low-key.

Soon after, some princes who were obedient to the imperial court, such as the king of Liang and the king of Shu, began to write a book, playing the case-handling personnel of the Tingwei Mansion to run through the law in the county and create unjust cases. For personal desires, or blackmail and humiliate members of the royal family, or embezzle and accept bribes, enriching one's own pockets.

Such a recital, although the emperor's attitude was to stay in the middle and not send it, did not publicly express his position. But that in itself says a lot.

Thus, a greater wave of lawlessness in the Imperial Governor's Mansion arrived. No one, whether it is the ministers of the DPRK and the central government or ordinary people, would want to have such an unrestrained force to arrest and convict people at will. Everyone is afraid that one day they will be sent down to the Tingwei Mansion without explanation.

The fact that the emperor did not express his position did not mean that he did not know anything, nor that he was indifferent. All the chapters about the Tingwei's Mansion have been decreed, and the Shangshutai has been classified and sorted out in detail, and the relevant personnel with names and surnames, and the illegal things that have a factual basis, are clearly recorded and recorded.

Several Shangshu Chang servants who were ordered were excited, they all knew very well the weight of these things, the emperor was going to investigate! In other words, the contest between the little marquis and Tingwei Du Zhou divided the winners and losers, which made everyone feel at ease. One thing that everyone understands very well is that if the emperor can really order the investigation of these people, this will not only be a serious blow to the Imperial Governor's Mansion, but more importantly, the emperor's attitude has changed.

Sure enough, not long after, at a great court meeting, the emperor made public the evidence of these crimes, and criticized the Tingwei Mansion in a very stern tone, with the words "live up to the grace of the saint and lose hope", and then decreed that these law enforcement officers, who knew the law and violated the law, were severely punished for their crimes, and nearly 30 people were beheaded!

Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang, Imperial Captain Du Zhou and their henchmen, their faces were gray and pale, and they bowed their heads. Although the emperor did not punish them, the warning in his eyes was enough to make them tremble.

Those cool officials who had done evil were escorted to the downtown city of Chang'an to be punished, and after announcing their conclusive charges, they were beheaded in public, in the sense of justice of tomorrow.

Thirty bloody human heads, becoming a symbol. In the future, the Tingwei Mansion will no longer dare to pretend to be a tiger and act in the name of the emperor. Thousands of wronged subjects bowed outside the Weiyang Palace to thank God for their grace, thanking His Majesty the Emperor for distinguishing right from wrong and eliminating harm for the people.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair of Hanyuan Hall, listening to the voice of gratitude from far and near, and felt some emotion in his heart. The blood and tears in those case files, and the grievances are like a sea, he has seen them all in person. Chang'an is still like this, and the counties in the world can be imagined. The importance of law enforcement is indeed a matter of paramount importance related to the stability of the community. What Yuan Zhao said to himself in Bowang Garden was not an exaggeration at all.

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!" These few simple words are so true. He has personally written this sentence next to the imperial case, so that he can often see it and be vigilant at all times. The resentment in the hearts of the subjects must not be accumulated. This is just like the management of flooded rivers, it is advisable to dredge but not to block, and if it is often dredged, it will be smooth up and down, and the government will be harmonious. If it is blocked, the court of the Son of Heaven will be separated from the people, and they will be separated, and over time, they will not be far from chaos!

Yuan Zhao's experience in controlling the flood not long ago boiled down to the principle of communication between the court and the people, and the emperor was deeply convinced by his words, because, the defeat of the powerful Qin Dynasty is a living example. This makes Liu Che, who wants to make a big difference, how can he not be frightened!

It was at this meeting that the emperor announced a new appointment at the same time, and a new official position was established in the imperial court, the commander of the school.

This is a special institution added by the emperor in order to strengthen the power of supervision. The grade is not high, but the power in the hands is very large. The emperor personally granted a special knot, and for ordinary low-level officials, they could have the right to cut first and then play.

The most surprising thing about the Sili Lieutenant is that it has an establishment of 1,000 Sili soldiers, who can supervise the offenders below the rank of 100 officials and the counties near the capital division. This includes the Imperial Governor's Mansion. If you think about it carefully, that is to say, its scope of authority can supervise down to the states and counties, up to the crown prince, the three princes and nine secretaries, and even the queen mother, its power is amazing.

The chief officer of the lieutenant of the division was directly ordered by the Son of Heaven, and the officials were ordered to be ordered by the order of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, everything can be checked and corrected. This important candidate for chief official has attracted everyone's attention.

It didn't make people wait long, and a few days later, Captain Dahan Sili took office. Everyone was taken aback when they saw that heroic young face and walked into this new office on the side of the Suzaku Gate. It turned out to be him!

The arrangement of the Lieutenant's Office is very simple, and the day of the opening is a little deserted, and there are no colleagues to congratulate or anything, because everyone knows that this place will be a special existence. The subordinates are all new faces selected from all over the world, and although they come from different backgrounds, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all young.

The new lieutenant named Si Li, named Final Army, looked up at the somewhat humble lobby, and his heart was full of pride. From an ordinary scholar waiting for the Golden Horse Gate to stepping into this important core institution of the imperial court today, it took him less than three years.

At the beginning, there was a young man, from the land of Qilu to Chang'an, when the west sent a letter to Guguan, the official guarding the city had prepared a letter for him to return, and the young man asked: "What is this?" The official replied, "This is as a proof of return." The young man said, "My husband's journey to the west, if he doesn't succeed, he will never return!" ”。 Abandon the talisman and move forward!

Later, this young man went to South Vietnam as a lonely and weak body, and the Son of Heaven asked for advice. The young man said: "I wish to receive the long tassel, and I will detain the king of Nanyue and cause his majesty!" Bold words, spread all over the world.

Now, this young man has finally grown into an important minister of the country, and the responsibility is on his shoulders. At this moment, the belief of following Yuan Zhao all his life is so firm. He turned around and bowed respectfully to Shang Shuling, who had sent him to take office, then turned around and walked in, his steps extremely firm.

Yuan Zhao rode on a horse, quietly watching the final army walk to this more important position outside the palace gate, and felt relieved and joyful in his heart. After all, the trajectory of history has changed a lot because of itself.

The final army should have died two years ago, and died in the riots of the South Vietnamese Kingdom, which the world called "the final child", which can be described as a jealous talent, and died halfway, which made future generations sigh. And because of his own participation, this regret was avoided.

There are also Dou Ying and Dou Fu. They would have perished this autumn and winter, and now it seems that this tragedy may never happen. Because, the culprit Tian Jue has already died.......

Compared with the heartiness of the court fight and the victory achieved by riding horses on the battlefield, perhaps, the change of some people's fate is the thing they are most secretly happy about! The corners of Yuan Zhao's mouth lifted slightly, and he turned the horse's head with a smile, and gradually disappeared in the morning glow.
