readx; Half an hour later, Zhu Youzhen summoned Yan Zhengang, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, to the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town in the Forbidden City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now Zhu Youzhen has moved the dormitory and study to the Yangxin Palace. This palace is located on the west side of the Qianqing Palace, and was originally only used as a building office in the Forbidden City. After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he first set the location of the previous dynasty as the Qianqing Palace, but the Qianqing Palace was also the emperor's dormitory, which was inevitably a little inconvenient. The Yangxin Palace is the closest to the Qianqing Palace, so Zhu Youzhen cleaned up here a little and moved in.

As for the southern half of the Forbidden City, the three major halls were supposed to be under repair, but after the explosion of Wang Gong's factory, the project came to a standstill. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have repeatedly requested the restoration of repairs, but Zhu Youzhen has rejected them, and he does not have the spare time and money to engage in this kind of image project. In the same vein, the burned down Wenhua Hall is still a piece of rubble.

Moreover, Zhu Youzhen still had an idea that he didn't tell the ministers, that is, he wanted to use all the idle palaces in the southern half of the Forbidden City as office locations for government agencies. Now the six departments have their own yamen, but they are located in various parts of the Beijing Division, which is quite far away. If these yamen can be brought together, there is no doubt that in this era of backward transportation and information transmission, a lot of efficiency can be improved.

On top of that, he had to build a series of new institutions, which naturally needed office space. If you don't need to put a ready-made palace and put it there as a façade, of course Zhu Youzhen will not do this kind of heartless thing.

I haven't seen him for many days, Yan Zhengang, who has just been promoted to the pacification envoy, is wearing a bright flying fish suit, and he is calm and serious, so he has a momentum of not being angry and arrogant at first glance.

After quelling the eunuch rebellion, a large number of Jinyiwei officials such as Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun were arrested and imprisoned, and Dongchang was directly canceled by Zhu Youzhen with the abolition of the eunuch system.

There are also ministers who asked Zhu Youzhen to cancel the Jinyiwei together, but Zhu Youzhen resolutely refused, and the original people of the East Factory were also merged into the Jinyiwei. Since these two departments have a very poor reputation among officials, this move has caused a lot of criticism.

Zhu Youzhen knew that the original intention of the establishment of Jinyiwei and Dongchang was to supervise officials. In feudal society, there was a lack of effective supervision and restraint of power, and corruption was rife with officialdom. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to expect corrupt officials to restrain themselves, and the only one who can punish hundreds of officials is the emperor. But there is only one emperor and hundreds of thousands of officials, and no matter how diligent and vigorous the emperor is to combat corruption, it is inevitable that there will be no leaks.

That's why Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang will set up Jinyiwei, which is directly responsible to the emperor, outside the system of the three legal divisions, specially supervises officials, and has the right to patrol and arrest. However, in this way, Jin Yiwei is above the official system and the law, he supervises others, but no one supervises him, resulting in Jin Yiwei gradually becoming corrupt, and even abusing criminal punishment in the name of supervision for his own personal gain.

In the period of Chengzu Zhu Di, he had to set up the East Factory and use eunuchs who were more loyal to the emperor to supervise the Jinyi Guard. Needless to say, the East Factory is above Jinyiwei, and the disaster is even more serious, and Wei Zhongxian is one of the negative examples.

Although Dongchang and Jinyiwei have done a lot of bad things, Zhu Youzhen believes that the current officialdom is extremely serious on the one hand, and on the other hand, the official group is extremely powerful. In order to protect their vested interests, they will definitely push back and obstruct their various reforms, and disobey the yang and the yin, resulting in the government decrees not going out of the Beijing Division, and the localities still going their own way.

In this case, the existence of Jinyiwei is very necessary. It overrode the official system, bypassing its own problematic system, and carrying out the emperor's orders more resolutely. As for the lack of supervision itself, Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to put it aside for the time being, and by appointing officials he trusted and had good conduct, the side effects of Jinyiwei were minimized as much as possible. It is not too late to wait until a comprehensive system reform is carried out in the future, and then restrain Jinyiwei.

Yan Zhengang is the right candidate for Jinyiwei, he has a calm personality, jealousy and hatred, and a set of powerful methods of torture, no matter how cunning the criminal is, he can only obediently confess when he encounters him. Therefore, after Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he first directly appointed him as the Qianhu of the Wupin Jinyi Wei, and then promoted to the Fusi of the Fusi from the Sipin North Town.

Although the official rank has only been upgraded by half a level, the power of the Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu Envoy is much greater than that of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, because the Zhenfu Envoy is directly in charge of Jinyi Wei's edict. The Imperial Prison is a separate prison established by Jinyiwei in addition to the Criminal Department, and it is also the core institution of Jinyiwei, so although the nominal leader of Jinyiwei is the commander of Jinyiwei, the actual power is mostly in the hands of the pacification envoy.

After the bow was over, Yan Zhengang first reported to Zhu Youzhen on the situation of continuing to try the eunuchs during this time. Under his severe interrogation, Tian Ji, Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, and others confessed many facts of the crime one after another, and in particular, more than 3 million taels of stolen silver were recovered. These people are now confessing to all the crimes they can remember, and they just want to die quickly, because in the hands of Yan Zhengang, living is worse than dying!

Zhu Youzhen saw that there was indeed nothing left for the retrial, so he ordered Yan Zhengang to hand over the prisoner and the file to the Criminal Department, so that the Criminal Department could convict him in accordance with the law. Then he said: "I now give you a new task: to crack down on the ruffians, hooligans, and bullies of the Jingshi!" ”

Yan Zhengang was slightly stunned and said: "Holy Lord, Jinyiwei has always only treated officials and not civilians, although these people are doing evil, it seems that they should still be under the jurisdiction of Shun Tianfu..."

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "If Shuntianfu can manage it, I don't need you to go out in person." The reason why these social scum are rampant is precisely because there are people in the yamen who act as their protective umbrella! ”

He told Yan Zhengang about Huang Zongxi's righteous words and being beaten by the ruffians, and finally said angrily: "Huang Zongxi has already reported to the official, but is it useful?" Now the Ming Dynasty is in the midst of internal and external troubles, but these people are still abusing the people, bullying and dominating the market, and they are also officials and bandits, so that the people have no way to complain, which is unbearable!

However, in order to cure these social tumors, we must first clean up the officialdom and eradicate their protective umbrella. My main focus is now on the military, and I can't care about refreshing the rule of officials for the time being. If you can't cure the root cause, it's good to treat the symptoms, so you can use your brocade guard! ”

Next, Zhu Youzhen summoned Yan Zhengang to the front to give a secret lecture, and Yan Zhengang smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Your Majesty, isn't it a bit like this..."

"Kind of a scoundrel, isn't he?" Zhu Youzhen laughed and said, "Sometimes to deal with scoundrels, you have to use some more scoundrel means!" ”
