Chapter 1103: Wei Zheng enters the cabinet
, In order to govern the Nuoda dynasty, Ouyang Shuo has made frequent moves recently.
In addition to convening hundreds of schools of thought to compile Yanhuang Thought, trying to unify the world's thoughts and declare orthodoxy; The Civil Code, the Commercial Code, and the Criminal Code were enacted, the Bactrian code system was perfected, and the fundamental position of law in dynastic governance was established.
The supervision system of Bactria is divided into two bright and two dark.
The two secrets are Shanhaiwei, a secret agent organization responsible for intelligence in the Huaxia District, and Black Snake Guard, which is responsible for intelligence work in overseas regions; Liangming is the Imperial Historical Observatory responsible for the words and paths of the imperial court, as well as the supervision offices (divisions) at all levels of the internal affairs system.
The dark system, whether it is Shanhaiwei or Black Snake Guard, with the support of massive funds, after several years of incubation, has finally taken root and stabilized, without the need to make major changes.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo's main adjustment is the Ming system.
Previously, the Ombudsman had been changed from a single line of leadership of the Internal Affairs Yuan to a dual leadership of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Internal Affairs Yuan, so as to strengthen the supervision and impeachment of officials at all levels.
"But that's not enough!"
As the agency in charge of speech and supervision, the Yushitai is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, only staring at the imperial court, and the supervision of the local yamen can only rely on the Supervision Office to complete, which is inevitably a little inadequate.
However, the imperial court and Beijing officials are equipped with the top historical talents, but it is the local yamen, in the process of integrating into the Great Xia, many old officials have been reorganized, some of the good and the bad are uneven, and it is the hardest hit area of official corruption.
What Ouyang Shuo has to do is to let the Yushitai sink and achieve full coverage of the yamen at all levels.
In the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial historical platform was changed to the left Su Zheng Tai, which was in charge of the supervision affairs of Beijing officials and the army, and the local supervision affairs were also responsible for the right Su Zheng Tai.
Later, the left station can also monitor the place.
The two stations dispatch special envoys in the spring and autumn of each year to inspect the prefectures and counties with 48 articles, and those dispatched in the spring are called custom envoys, and those dispatched in the autumn are called honest inspection envoys. In the first year of Shenlong, it was changed to the left and right imperial history platform.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to follow the practice of the Tang Dynasty, but with some improvements.
After consultation with the Cabinet, the adjustment plan of the Goshidai was quickly released, which mainly included two aspects.
First, the Imperial Historical Observatory sent the Imperial History to reside in the local yamen.
The provincial governor's yamen arranges a consul to serve the imperial history, the county guard yamen arranges a palace attendant, the prefect's yamen arranges a supervising imperial history, and the county yamen arranges a trainee imperial history.
The imperial history at all levels can be directly reported to the next level, and only responsible for the imperial history at the next level.
Second, establish an inspection system for the Imperial Historical Observatory.
Great Xia will follow the old system of the Tang Dynasty, and send special envoys to inspect the prefectures and counties of Tianxia in the spring and autumn of each year.
Such a two-pronged approach has greatly strengthened the supervision of hundreds of officials.
In view of this, the Imperial Historical Observatory will carry out a new round of expansion, and outstanding officials will be transferred from the imperial court or local yamen to serve in the Imperial Historical Observatory.
Ouyang Shuo said first, and the officials selected for the Yushitai must be of excellent quality.
"If you do a good job, you can also be promoted first!"
For a time, the Imperial Historical Observatory became the most popular institution of the dynasty, and the officials flocked to it, believing that as long as they entered the Imperial Historical Observatory, it was equivalent to having a talisman on their body, plated with a layer of gold, which was the only way to be promoted.
All you can say is, "They rejoiced too soon!" ”
Wei Zhengke, the chief official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, is a cold-faced judge, coupled with Bao Zheng, the director of supervision who is also the Imperial Historical Zhongcheng, the combination of these two is tantamount to declaring that the Imperial Historical Observatory is the Yama Palace.
"Not all little ghosts can get in."
At the same time, in order to ensure the authority of the Imperial Historical Observatory and make it have enough confidence to supervise the hundred officials, Ouyang Shuo proposed that the Imperial Historian Wei Zheng enter the cabinet and become the second part-time cabinet elder after Zhang Liang.
At this moment, Yushitai's waist board completely stood up.
After adjustment, the Imperial Historical Observatory is a sharp sword hanging above the heads of hundreds of officials, forming a deterrent.
This is the good side of Yushitai, and there is also a worrying side.
Historically, whether it is the Imperial Historical Observatory or the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is a hidden danger, that is, the supervision of the imperial history is easy to become a weapon for factional struggles between the civil and official groups of the imperial court.
Impeachment through "allegiance" to oversee the imperial history to defeat the enemy is one of the common methods used by civilian officials.
In this way, the authority of the Imperial Observatory was lost.
More importantly, when the Imperial Historical Observatory was manipulated by the civil official group, it also directly threatened the imperial power, making the emperor lose control of the hundred officials, which was too dangerous and easy to be overridden by the civilian official group.
"The impeachment of the superintendent for the sake of impeachment is criticized by the world."
In response to this situation, combined with the federal system, Ouyang Shuo also has a countermeasure, that is, to make the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Interior Yuan more closely linked, mutual assistance, and mutual restraint.
When the Imperial Historical Observatory discovered clues about the corruption of officials, it was immediately handed over to the Internal Affairs Yuan for trial, and the Imperial Historical Observatory itself had no right to try the case. Once the trial by the House of the Interior reveals that the impeachment is false, the superintendent of the imperial history must be held responsible.
If it is light, it will affect the year-end assessment, and if it is serious, it will be immediately removed from office for investigation.
In this way, the occurrence of "abuse of power" in the imperial history has been eliminated to a great extent.
During the whole process, Ouyang Shuo didn't think about involving Shanhaiwei and Black Snake Guard, using these two spy organizations to supervise Yushitai and emulate the Ming Dynasty's secret agents to govern the country.
An organization like Shanhaiwei, once it is given too much authority, will not be able to get rid of it, and in turn bite Ouyang Shuo, the master, or do things behind Ouyang Shuo's back.
This is what Ouyang Shuo has been trying his best to put an end to.
Even if Shanhaiwei, who is led by Shen Buxian, has absolute loyalty to Ouyang Shuo, Ouyang Shuo will gradually tighten Shanhaiwei's authority and make him focus on intelligence gathering instead of secretly supervising hundreds of officials.
"Let the dynasty system run smoothly in the sun" is Ouyang Shuo's ultimate goal.
This is the responsibility and mind that a new dynasty, a great dynasty that is ready to carry the mission of the rise of Chinese civilization, rather than hiding in the dark and snooping on everything.
The only thing that can be passed down for centuries is the system.
Today, Ouyang Shuo, as the founder of the dynasty, can restrain Shanhaiwei, and when Ouyang Shuo abdicates, how can he ensure that this poisonous snake is trusted by the new lord and will not come up with any moths?!
Therefore, in any case, this is a major hidden danger and must be prevented in advance.
…………
Unify thinking, improve the legal code, and strengthen supervision.
In response to the various problems that arose after the dynasty became bigger and bigger, Ouyang Shuo thought about it and finally sacrificed these three axes. At present, it is only in the experimental stage, and after it is really landed, I believe that Daxia will be very different.
Just when Ouyang Shuo was sitting in the capital and carrying out drastic restructuring within the dynasty, Shanhaiwei suddenly came with news that there was a change in the north, which made the originally calm wilderness situation tense all of a sudden.
