Chapter 545 Supervision and Justice
'I must first reform the local supervision system. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info', Li Chen spoke, every time he said me, it means that he is very serious, otherwise what the emperor of the Tang Dynasty said about me, how I want to be, it is very common to speak.
'The saints want to set up a new supervisory body at the state level?' When it comes to his own duties, Wei Mo asked first. The supervision system of the Tang Dynasty was based on the Tao at the highest level. Each province has set up official positions such as interview and disposal envoys, deposed envoys, and so on. Then in the states and counties, there are Si Gong Cao, who is responsible for examining officials. But basically, the state and county are in charge.
The court can manage it, that is, at the level of the Tao. Otherwise, it is to supervise the imperial history. The supervision system of the Tang Dynasty was the Imperial Historical Tower. The highest prefect served Dr. Shi. It is currently held by Wei Mo.
Under it, there are those who supervise the officials of the imperial court, those who supervise the localities, and those who participate in the trial of cases, and the three divisions will be tried, that is, by the Yushitai, the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple, jointly targeting unjust cases, major cases and involving officials of the fifth rank or above. There are also small three divisions under it, the level is lower, by the history of the service, the criminal department Langzhong and the staff of the outside Lang, as well as the Dali Temple Division, the evaluation of the matter of the Xun, this is the Ming and Qing Dynasty three divisions will be the source of the trial.
Then, the Imperial Observatory also has the duty of supervising the local area. The Imperial Historical Observatory is divided into the Taiwan Courtyard, the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Palace. The Taiwan Yuan is responsible for the duties just mentioned, and more, and the supreme official is the Imperial Shi. The palace is very annoying, staring at people when going to court, is there a loss of etiquette.
In addition to this obnoxious duty, they are also in charge of patrolling the two capitals. Locally, it is handed over to the procuratorate. This allowed the procuratorate to supervise the imperial history, and he was not in Chang'an all year round. It's tiring, and the rank is low, but the power is great.
Basically, he can supervise everything in the imperial history, and he can manage anything in the local area. This has nothing to do with his rank, when Tang Gaozong, the superintendent of the imperial Shi Wei Siqian said, "The imperial envoy cannot move the mountains and deter the prefecture and county, so he will not serve." ”。
Although they are often appointed by the emperor to patrol places, they often go for months and a half, but they also have to take care of the affairs of the Jingshi. In the Xuanzong Dynasty, the rights were even more improved, and Xuanzong asked them to supervise the six departments of Shangshu Province, "inspect the six departments of Shangshu and correct their mistakes".
Isn't it very familiar, supervising the imperial history to supervise each ministry separately, known as the six inspectors. If you have an impression of the Ming Dynasty system, you will find that this is the Ming Dynasty to abolish the prime minister and improve the functions of the six ministries in the Ming Dynasty. And Zhu Chongba, not only imitated the Tang Dynasty to set up government soldiers, but also imitated the Tang Dynasty's supervision system, and set up six departments to make trouble for the six departments.
So, having said so much, how is Li Chen going to change? 'I want to keep the main books of all states and counties, don't drive, directly under the imperial court, and under the supervision of the imperial historical platform. ’
The county order has a lot of power, and the main secretary and the county official are only his deputies, and basically can't control him. What will happen this time is that the local county order covers the sky with one hand, and the main book can supervise the county-level officials, and the county order can also be opposed.
It's just that Li Chen doesn't want to have a confrontation between the main book and the county order. The two of them fight among themselves all day long, and they don't have to do anything. And, basically, the main book is still a lower level of the county order, and if the county order is strong, he can't do anything.
Li Chen wants to improve the situation, not to let the county level get out of control, what he has to do is very simple, that is, let the state and the county be supervised. The state of the Tang Dynasty did not have very much power. First of all, the foundation is too small, and a state can only govern four or five counties, and if it is less, it will have one or two.
Compared with the Han Dynasty, there was one county in the Han Dynasty, but there were fifteen counties. The place is thousands of miles away, and the population is millions. The foundation is large, the strength is strong, and the place can be built. Not in the Tang Dynasty. There are 100,000 households in Shangzhou, but only 10,000 households in Xiazhou, and it is powerless to build a place.
This is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty Dao level will rise. Slowly, from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a scope of inspectors, the personnel were not fixed, but became a fixed office, bureaucrats, and more and more posts.
There are more and more things to manage, and the various envoys sent by the imperial court go to the localities to govern a few relatively wide range of functions, so that the reason why the provincial-level officials have gradually changed from the original temporary nature to the permanent nature.
In addition, compared with the Han Dynasty, Tang Tai Thorn Shi did not lead the military rank, could not set up his own subordinates, and could not decide on the death penalty, and his status was much inferior to the Han Dynasty county guard, and even the promotion was inferior, not to mention that like the Han Dynasty, the court was transferred to be the Jiuqing, and it was not easy to even promote the Xiazhou Thorn History to Shangzhou.
In this way, isn't the history of thorns important? Not really. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong attached great importance to the position of the assassin, and he would write down the names of the assassins on the screen, and also write their advantages and disadvantages, so that he could see whether he was sitting or lying down, and he knew what was good and bad.
Li Chen also imitated, Zhenguan political leaders, he watched many times, many systems have been studied, he did not write on the screen, but set up a clip bag, the personality and political achievements of the state assassins, and the scope also included the officials of the feudal towns.
Some people even call him Xiao Taizong in private. Indeed, he thinks that he is very dedicated, and Datang has a new look in his hands, as long as the descendants are not complete, that kind of god-level loser, like Emperor Yang of Sui, Datang should be able to maintain it in a short period of time, dozens or even hundreds of years.
But now he feels that this way of doing things according to people is too unreliable. Relying on him as the ruler, always keep in mind that if future generations are not so dedicated, they will not care?
If you put it so far, you can't manage it. It is better to return the supervision power to the imperial court. The main book is no longer under the management of the county order, but directly at the state level.
The main bookkeeper was originally in charge of checking whether there were any violations or mistakes in the documents and books, and correcting them. His position remains the same, and he will continue to supervise the locality, but his upper level will not be a county order, but a "don't drive".
State-level officials, under the history of assassination, there are other drivers, Sima, Changshi, and records to join the army. Among them, the first three are adjutants, and if there is a vacancy, they can handle government affairs with a history of thorns.
However, since the development of this system, these three positions have evolved to the present day, and are usually used to settle the clan or retire officials for retirement. was jokingly called by Bai Juyi, this is a "pension officer". These positions have not even been established in some states.
And the states, the real management of things, is to assassinate the history and record the army to join the army, the record to join the army is the deputy of the assassin history, if the above three adjutants are vacant, and the assassin is not in office, it is the record to join the army agent.
Li Chen is now taking care of the pension function and taking on the responsibility of supervising the state and county. The same directly belongs to the imperial court.
And the next level of the state is the Tao. This one doesn't change. The only difference is that the officials such as the envoys and the deposed envoys will be dealt with according to the interviews, and they will all be attributed to the Imperial History Observatory in the future, which is equivalent to supervising the Imperial History. Supervising the imperial history is a good setting, which is very suitable for Li Chen, and the imperial court can supervise the place.
The problem is that the number of such an important official is too small, there are only ten, and there is not enough for one in the world. After all, this was all set up by Tang Chu, and now Li Chen's promotion of the supervision function is equivalent to expanding this post.
'That's it?' The prime ministers looked at each other, which seemed to be too easy, and it was very different from what they expected, a violent storm, although there would be some trouble, and each state had to set up a separate driver.
This will increase the number of places by a lot, not all states have different drivers, and many states have other drivers, all of them are pension officers. However, compared to the expected purge, it was much easier, but it was about 400 more officials, which was nothing.
Of course, it's more than that. Of course, Li Chen is not the only one, Li Chen can't let a position without supervision. Supervision units should also be subject to supervision. On the one hand, there is the brocade clothes, and all localities should not drive ethically, and they will be included in the supervision. In addition, there is the internal gain of the system.
The new drivers in various places, in addition to their direct subordinates, the Imperial Historical Observatory can be supervised, as well as picking up and filling the gaps.
The Tang Dynasty official system is very large, starting from the establishment of the era, the first is the counselor, the first year of Wude was established, four places, is the fifth grade, the status is very high. The main duty is to praise the squire and admonish the sarcasm. In the second year of Longshuo, he was renamed the doctor of Zhengzhi, and in the first year of Shenlong, he changed it back. About the fourth year of Zhenyuan, Daizong was promoted to a fourth-grade official in the second year of the Great Calendar.
In addition, there are also things to be done, the Sui Dynasty called Shilang, the Tang Dynasty Wude was called to the matter, the second year of Longshuo was called Dongtai Sheren, and the first year of Xianheng was changed back. The status of this official position is not low, and the power is equally great in the five grades.
There are a lot of things to manage, and they have the right to refute unreasonable performances, and they can correct the imperial history if they have grievances and have nowhere to complain. If there is a division that is not properly selected and replaced, it may be dismissed from the waiter. Basically, he can't see the affairs of the court, and he can take care of it. is so nosy and official, with a quota of four, fortunately, there are not many of them, otherwise it will annoy people to death.
That's not enough, there's also gleaning and patching. This was all set up by Wu Zetian. This position is all aimed at the emperor.
I don't know what Wu Zetian is thinking, does she want to imitate Tang Taizong and show that she has the capacity to accommodate people? To make up for the emperor's mistakes is to make up for his mistakes. The gleaning was to remind the emperor of what he had forgotten. There are also four of them, one on the left and one on the left. The left must belong to the door, and the right must belong to the province of Zhongshu.
Li Chen is very tired of these four officials, always instigating, probably to show their sense of existence, these two official positions are not high, fill the vacancies from the seventh grade, pick up the relics from the eighth grade, probably instigate the emperor too much, so that the emperor will remember them, and then in order to send them shut up, they will be transferred to a good official, anyway, their rank is not high.
Li Chen wanted to lay off these four officials a long time ago, but he never seized the opportunity, and he was instigated against him all day long. Simply, he took the opportunity of reforming the inspection system this time to increase the number of these four officials to eight, but it was no longer aimed at him, but at the Imperial Historical Observatory, which could not be supervised by no one, and just drove these four officials to the place where they should be instigated.
Actually, it's more appropriate to give things to the middle, after all, they have a lot of control before. However, it is not possible to miss this official position of supervising the government and government, and it is more troublesome to move the post of the fifth rank than the seventh or eighth grade, so he will give up for the time being.
This is the imperial court, and in addition, the local thief compensation system will also be changed. If this is the court, Li Chen's next topic will keep Datang busy. Li Chen corrected the fast arresting agency. This involves the whole of Datang.
The judicial system has also been reformed in conjunction with the Ombudsman. The first is Datang's robbery system. Think of this system as a modern policeman.
The pursuit of the prisoner this time exposed a weakness, that is, once the prisoner absconded elsewhere, it would be difficult to catch and make up for it. It's useless to have a sea fishing paperwork, unless you happen to run into it, or the offender commits the crime again, and if you really want to hide, it will be difficult to arrest someone. Li Chen decided to establish a police system similar to modern times, and also arrest the local security power back to the imperial court.
Datang is at the county level, who is responsible for catching and supplementing prisoners? First of all, there is the fast arrest, they are really responsible for chasing down the criminals, and so are the bad handsome. However, a bit like the civilian police, they are not officially established. Even if the arrest is fast, in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court is responsible for chasing down the criminals, and he is the county lieutenant.
The county lieutenant is responsible for doing practical things at the local level, and this is the starting point of many officials. However, the starting point is the starting point, there is an advertising slogan that says, don't let your child lose at the starting point, advertising is not important, the important thing is that many cram schools, baby milk powder are used this word, so that parents are very nervous, desperately want to give the best to the child, can not let the child lose at the starting point is not.
Although the county lieutenant is the starting point of many officials, the county lieutenant is also divided. In general, there are up to six in a county,
At least two county lieutenants. There is a clear distinction between the more expensive and the more troublesome. And making up for the theft is troublesome. Although they are not responsible for hunting, this position gives a relatively poor impression.
Actually, it's pretty much the same. If an official's starting point is the county lieutenant of Facao, then you probably don't expect to be promoted.
Li Chen imitated the modern system and established a real arrest system. The Criminal Department has set up a police department, under the jurisdiction of the police temple, and local security issues will be handed over to the real thief to make up for the theft. In the future, the county lieutenant of Si Cao, that is, the thief who has to be made up for in each county, will not let a new branch jinshi be in charge.
In addition, the catcher is also included in the official establishment, according to the number of people, there will be different establishments, if the part is insufficient, it will be a bad handsome.
The newly established Police Division also has jurisdiction over a forensic temple. Pestle is the forensic doctor of Datang. Li Chen asked the Imperial Medical Department to compile the record of Datang's grievances, and unexpectedly had an effect, so Li Chen standardized the pestle at the same time, and the police department established a forensic temple to directly manage the pestle of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chen not only made the pestle this name, but also changed the name to forensic medicine. It is also the pestle that was originally not in the flow of Datang, and the status has been improved a lot, with a new name and a new atmosphere.
However, the status has been improved, and the requirements have been improved, whether it is catching fast or pestle, they will be gradually recruited and trained strictly.
On the one hand, it is to raise the level of knowledge for these two positions, and all pestle work must be trained, real forensic training. According to modern experience, Li Chen also began to make up the Datang Dynasty's fast arrest and investigation system, moving in a more legal direction.
In addition, on the other hand, it is re-education, status promotion, and associated requirements are also higher, and responsibilities are also planted.
