Chapter 436: Establishment of the "Golden Guard"

After Qin Dong's edict changed the name of the country to "Great Qin Empire", countries did not laugh at it for changing the country name continuously for two years, which was still because of the prestige of the Great Qin Empire over the years. The various Germanic tribes and kingdoms that became vassals all sent envoys to Cedika to congratulate, and even the Western Roman Empire, which had just ended the war with the Great Qin Empire, and other countries sent envoys to congratulate them, not to mention countries such as the Eastern Roman Empire, which had signed a friendship treaty with the Great Qin Empire.

Qin Dong also saw this matter, and even the Western Roman Empire, one of the top powers in the Obaro continent, had put down their shelves, which could also reflect from another side that the Western Roman Empire was indeed declining, and its self-confidence was greatly reduced. However, Qin Dong didn't care much about these, he was troubled by another matter at this time, or that matter, the Metropolitan Procuratorate once again requested to increase law enforcement officers and add weapons and armor.

For this matter, Qin Dong is not very concerned, it is normal to add some law enforcement officers, but the key is that other official offices in the imperial court will not agree, in some people's opinion, after increasing law enforcement personnel, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be greater, and the law enforcement will be greater, on the other hand, once the requirements of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are met, then other official offices and yamen will also ask for additional personnel and weapons and armor? Does he Qin Dong want a bowl of water?

But Zhong Hui's reason for calling for more law enforcement officers and more weapons and armor is very sufficient, that is, the problem of official corruption is becoming more and more serious. It is necessary to strike hard to suppress this symptom and undesirable trend, otherwise it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to crack down after a long time, because those corrupt people have already formed a camp. A strong network of officials and officials has been formed.

It was precisely because Qin Dong understood this that he was very entangled in his heart, and after thinking about it, he decided to divide the Metropolitan Procuratorate into two and split it into two parts, one part is still the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and its main responsibility is to supervise officials and correct the improper distinction in officialdom. Officials who have violated the law and discipline may be summoned for a maximum of three days, and only when there is conclusive evidence that officials can be impeached. It only has the power of investigation, interrogation and impeachment, and does not have the power of arrest or trial.

The other part was set up as an independent law enforcement yamen, called the "Emperor's Pro-Army Governor's Office", and this yamen and the Metropolitan Procuratorate contained each other. It has the right to arrest, detain, and imprison officials who violate laws and disciplines. But it does not have the power of investigation, interrogation and trial!

The judicial power of officials who violate laws and disciplines lies in Dali Temple, which has the same functions as the Supreme Court. This is where the functional difference between the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Emperor's Pro-Army Governor's Mansion and the Dali Temple lies. According to the process, the first department to investigate and deal with officials who violate laws and disciplines should be the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and after the Metropolitan Procuratorate has the evidence of an official's violation of law and discipline, it should promptly impeach the official, and transfer the relevant materials to the Emperor's Pro-Army Governor's Mansion and Dali Temple, and transfer the officials who have restricted their personal freedom to the Emperor's Pro-Army Governor's Office for detention and imprisonment. The Dali Temple, which received the letter of impeachment of the official and the relevant materials, must do its best to verify the relevant materials submitted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. And the trial of the official was conducted in a timely manner, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate acted as the prosecutor.

At a court meeting. Qin Dong split the Imperial Procuratorate, and the independent part told the establishment of the "Emperor's Pro-Army Governor's Mansion", and asked the ministers for their opinions, on this matter, it was not Qin Dong who first proposed it, but the Prime Minister Peteaus, Qin Dong had consulted with several important ministers in advance, and generally reached a consensus.

An official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what the specific functions of this 'Emperor's Pro-Army Governor's Mansion' established by some people who were split from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

Qin Dongdao: "The newly established 'Emperor's Pro-Army Governor's Mansion' can be seen from a literal point of view, its main function is to protect my security and protect the safety of the imperial family, so it is called 'the Emperor's Pro-Army', and at the same time it also has another function, that is, responsible for arresting, detaining, and imprisoning officials who violate laws and disciplines, which was previously in the hands of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but now the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not have the right to arrest, detain and imprison officials who violate discipline, only the power of investigation, interrogation and impeachment, and the right of temporary detention is only for three days for investigation. To arrest officials who violate laws and disciplines, law enforcement officers from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the pro-military Governor's Office must be present at the same time."

The ministers heard it clearly, and in this way, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was greatly weakened, in the past, all the rights were in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and at that time, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was too great, so big that the officials heard that the Metropolitan Procuratorate changed color, and after listening to Qin Dong's words, the ministers were relieved.

Zhong Hui's ostensible intention was to strengthen the law enforcement power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he didn't expect that in the end, the law enforcement power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not only not strengthened, but was reduced, but this is exactly what he was happy to see, because he knew very well that the law enforcement power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate would be weakened sooner or later, after all, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was too great, and there was no institution to contain it. The emperor will kill him first, and then limit the rights of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now he himself personally applies for additional law enforcement officers and the purchase of weapons and armor through Guò to make this time come earlier, and also ensure his own safety, after all, although the current Metropolitan Procuratorate has great power, but after all, it is limited, and the emperor has not yet become jealous.

Seeing that none of the ministers had expressed their opinions, Qin Dong asked again, "Is there anything else that you ministers are not clear?" Does anyone object? ”

No one stood up against it, and all the ministers bowed and saluted: "No objections, ministers!" ”

"Good!" Qin Dong immediately issued an edict: "Then draft the decree, Liu San, the minister of the guard, will concurrently serve as the commander of the pro-army governor and the guard from now on, and he is the highest commander of the pro-army governor's mansion. The two of them are in charge of affairs, and they are four products, and there are two functional institutions under them. The North Town Fu Division and the South Town Fu Division are each responsible for a town and the Fu Division, from the four products, the North Town Fu Division is responsible for arresting, detaining, and imprisoning officials who violate laws and disciplines, and the South Town Fu Division is responsible for the law and military discipline of the government, which is the central organ of the pro-military Governor's Office, and has 1,000 households in the capital and each province. It is assisted by a thousand households in charge, five products, and a deputy thousand households. From the five products, each city, county and county set up 100 households, led by a hundred households, is six products. A deputy hundred households assisted. From the sixth product, there are two people with the general flag, seven from the seventh product, and four people from the small flag, from the seventh product. There are specific implementation personnel under the staff, a small flag is in charge of ten wrestlers, and a general flag is in charge of two small flags, and the staffing shall not be increased or decreased at will! ”

Liu San was originally the Minister of the Guard. It is a senior official of Zhengyipin, and it is two grades and four levels older than Zhengsanpin. And the commander of the pro-army governor's mansion is just a positive third product, but Liu San is concurrent, and others have nothing to say, which is also why Qin Dong has not yet figured out who will serve as the commander of the pro-army governor's mansion, so that Liu San can temporarily serve as the commander.

After that, the Great Qin Empire officially had the official office of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, and after the end of the court meeting, Qin Dong left Liu San and the chief of the guard, Qi Muge.

"See Your Majesty!" The two saluted after seeing Qin Dong in the imperial study.

Qin Dong raised his hand and said: "Get up, I left you here today to talk about the matter of the pro-army governor's mansion, I also said at the court meeting just now, on the bright side, the pro-army governor's mansion has two towns in the north and south, and there are thousands of households and 100 households in various places, do you understand?" ”

The two of them thought to themselves, is there still secretly? Liu San and Qi Muge said at the same time: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

"Good!" Qin Dong nodded and said: "Liu San, you immediately start to set up the Southern and Zhenfu Divisions on the surface of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, in fact, I still have to set up the east and west towns in secret, the financial expenditure of the north and south towns is responsible for the treasury of the household department, and the financial expenditure of the east and west towns is responsible for my private treasury, not in the household department to do the financial budget and filing, you are responsible for the filing, I am going to send someone to check the accounts, and the formation of the east and west towns is responsible for the affairs of the Muge, Liu San can't be asked!" Only I and the two of you know about the formation of the East and West Towns, and if a fourth person knows, then it will be the death of the two of you, do you understand? ”

The severity of Qin Dong's tone and the shocking nature of the content made huge waves in the hearts of the two of them, why did they secretly form an organization that everyone didn't know? The two of them didn't know, but neither of them was stupid, and immediately agreed: "Yes, the ministers understand!" ”

Liu San was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear, since the minister can't ask about the affairs of the east and west towns, why don't you separate these two towns and merge them into the pro-army governor's mansion?" ”

Qin Dongdao: "The establishment of the east and west towns can not be known to anyone except the three of us, in order to hide people's eyes and ears to merge the east and west towns into the pro-army governor's mansion, if something happens, it will be solved by the pro-army governor's office, so secretly the officials of the east and west towns should have a position in the north and south towns, for example, the east town town envoy is the deputy town envoy of the south town Fu Division, and the west town Fu envoy is the deputy town of the North Town Fu Division, usually they are just the deputy position of the north and south town Fu envoy, only in charge of logistics, But secretly they have to deal with the things they are responsible for! ”

Liu San nodded and said, "I understand, the minister knows what to do!" ”

Qi Muge asked: "Your Majesty, you let the minister be in charge of the affairs of the east and west towns, but the minister doesn't know what the two towns are for, what are their specific functions?" ”

Qin Dong looked at Liu San and said, "You go back first!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu San saluted and left.

Qin Dong said to him: "The two towns in the east and west are actually intelligence agencies, Dongzhen is responsible for domestic intelligence and security work, maintaining the security of the empire, and cracking down on the sabotage of enemy spies that are unfavorable to the empire and threaten the security of the empire, and Xizhen is mainly a foreign intelligence agency, responsible for spying on the intelligence of the enemy country!" ”

In addition to the intelligence agency that Liu San is responsible for, Qin Dong feels that another intelligence agency must be set up to contain the intelligence agency that Liu San is responsible for, otherwise he will not be at ease, it will be difficult to guarantee that he will not be able to protect the moth after a long time, and he will have scruples with the right to contain it!

Qi Muge nodded and said, "I understand what His Majesty means!" ”

After the establishment of the pro-army governor's office, it quickly began to play its functions, and its law enforcement officers generally wore a golden cloak, which caused a huge shock in the government and the opposition, and the talk changed. Since its law enforcement officers all wore golden cloaks, they were called "Golden Guards". (To be continued......)
