Chapter 1234: A Calm Purge

After talking about the establishment of the Great Xia Supreme Court, Ouyang Shuo turned to ask Jiang Shang: "What is the solution to the resistance of the elite?" ”

Because Jiang Shang has already manifested as a homo sapiens, Ouyang Shuo does not hide anything.

"According to what Your Majesty said, that Elder Zhang has a son who also served in the Federation before?" Jiang Shang asked.

"Not bad!"

Jiang Shangdao: "Since this is the case, then Weichen suggests that Your Majesty can issue an edict and recruit him to serve in the imperial court." ”

Ouyang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "It's still the elder of the pavilion who has a way, so he will act according to this plan." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

…………

On February 25, the seventh year of Gaia, under the strong promotion of Ouyang Shuo and the mediation of Jiang Shang, Zhang Liang, Wei Ying and other ministers, the Great Xia Supreme Court, which had been brewing for a long time, was finally established.

Ouyang Shuo personally inscribed "The Son of Heaven violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people", which was carved into a stone tablet and stood in front of the main gate of the Supreme Court of Daxia to demonstrate Ouyang Shuo's determination and will to implement the rule of law.

Centralization of power and dictatorship are not the same as defying the law and undermining the rule of law, Ouyang Shuo has a clear understanding of this, and the two have never been contradictory and antagonistic, and they can go hand in hand.

Under the premise of the rule of law, the implementation of dictatorship is the best elaboration of the power of the new generation of monarchy.

This is not only Ouyang Shuo's self-restraint, but also a kind of institutional restraint on the imperial family, civil and military officials, and his successor, so that he cannot be unscrupulous, so as to lay the foundation of the dynasty for eternity.

Throughout the 5,000 years of China, a royal family that has continuously centralized power but has no restraining power, a dynasty that regards the world as the private property of the royal family and the people as pigs and dogs, will not be able to maintain long-term stability.

The history of China for thousands of years is just the cycle of feudal dynasties, and the whole society has basically made no progress, and even in a certain historical period, there have been several major regressions.

As a result, China was torn to pieces by the Western powers, which had risen for less than two hundred years.

What a painful lesson!

If it were not for the extraordinary resilience and inclusiveness of the Chinese civilization, how could the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation be realized again in a modern society in just a hundred years?

Ouyang Shuo had to learn from the lessons of the past.

Ouyang Shuo would never be arrogant enough to think that he could recreate a feudal dynasty on the Hope Planet with his own strength, and at the same time, he could let the dynasty be passed on for eternity and never wither.

He has not yet been carried away by victory, corrupted by power.

The chief justice of the Supreme Court, Ouyang Shuo appointed the dean of the [Jingshi University] Law School, the master of legalism, and one of the giants of legalism, Han Feizi, who is the second rank of the official residence.

The dean of the law school will be taken over by the vice dean.

Han Feizi, as a master of legalism, was deeply involved in the drafting of the "Daxia Code", and he was not interested in politics, stayed away from politics, and upheld neutrality, so he was the best candidate for the chief justice.

In addition to the Chief Justice, there are four Chief Justices.

The five justices were all appointed by Ouyang Shuo himself, and theoretically, as long as Ouyang Shuo did not remove the justices, their terms of office would be indefinite, until they died or voluntarily applied for retirement.

…………

Although a lot of work was done in the early stage, the establishment of the Supreme Court of Daxia still caused a lot of turmoil in the government and the opposition, and the situation fell into chaos.

It will take some time to calm down the turmoil.

In view of this, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to adjust personnel and make a purge, he was waiting for an opportunity.

Time entered March, and the opportunity that Ouyang Shuo had been waiting for had finally arrived. On March 3, Meng Tian led his troops to conquer South Sudan; On the 5th, Bai Qi commanded a large army and conquered the country of Kenya.

Bactria won its first military campaign in East Africa.

As soon as the news came out, the world shook.

Bactria conquered two countries in East Africa one after another, which greatly stimulated the European and American dynasties, without exception, they all stepped up the pace of aggression against the African continent, and the entire African continent fell into an uninterrupted smoke of gunpowder.

Compared with the global shock, the aftermath of Daxia is orderly.

On March 10, the imperial court issued an edict to promote the North African town guard to the African capital protectorate, and the former North African town guard Mulan Yue was naturally promoted to the African capital protector and became the third frontier protector of the imperial dynasty.

In addition, the provinces of South Sudan and Kenya have been established.

With the establishment of the two major provinces, it was followed by a series of personnel adjustments, and this was the long-awaited purge opportunity for Ouyang Shuo.

The officials who were blacklisted in the court turmoil were taken advantage of by Ouyang Shuo to kick the African continent.

The imperial court issued an edict to remove Pei Yun from the post of director of civil affairs and transfer him to the governor of South Sudan. Pei Yun seems to have been promoted from the third rank to the third grade, but he was sent from the center of the imperial court to the remote African continent, and he rose and descended secretly.

This is also Ouyang Shuo's beating of Pei Valve.

The person who succeeded Pei Yun as the director of civil affairs was Zhang Bangxin, the son of Zhang.

Previously, Ouyang Shuo adopted Jiang Shang's suggestion and extended an olive branch to Zhang Bangxin, this person was really not as patient as his father, and he was very moved by this, but he had scruples.

Under Ouyang Shuo's repeated invitations, he finally agreed to take up the post of director of civil affairs.

Zhang Bangxin jumped from an "outsider" to a central member of the imperial court, which is really eye-catching, Ouyang Shuo did this, one is to pry open the door of the elite, and the other is to buy bones.

Ouyang Shuo didn't believe it, and when Zhang Bangxin made a good start, others would not be moved.

In this way, around the post of director of civil affairs, Ouyang Shuo not only knocked Pei Valve, "exiled" Pei Yun, who was making trouble, but also bought the hearts of the elites, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Even Jiang Shang was impressed by this.

The imperial court issued an edict to remove Cao Shen from his post as governor of Yunnan and transfer him to the governor of Kenya. There is no doubt that Cao Shen is the most vicious provincial governor among the local officials.

Afterwards, Ouyang Shuo also analyzed why Cao Shen had such courage to impeach Jiang Shang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and his rhetoric was fierce and spicy.

At the end of the day, there are two.

First, Cao Shen was the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, and in his bones he still pursued the "punishment of doctors" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so he instinctively opposed the establishment of the Supreme Court of Daxia.

What's more, I'm afraid it's the second point, that is, Cao Shen is the most powerful assistant of the old department of Lingxi City and the current protector of Baihua in southern Xinjiang, so he is proud of his achievements.

Otherwise, so many ministers don't understand, why does Cao Shen, a person who is not irritable, dare to have such courage to discuss the major policies of the imperial court? !

Cao Shen was afraid that he had forgotten who pushed him to the position of governor of Yunnan.

If it weren't for Bai Hua's face, Ouyang Shuo would not only send Cao Shen to Africa this time, but directly push it to the end, and let Cao Shen get out of the egg directly, so as to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.

He succeeded Cao Shen as governor of Yunnan, but it was Pei Ju, the former governor of Somalia.

Pei Ju is also from Pei Valve, and he is one of the most representative figures of Pei Valve, Ouyang Shuo suppressed Pei Yun while promoting Pei Ju, which is really incomprehensible.

Actually, the reason is very simple.

One is that even if it is out of suspicion, Pei Ju must leave Africa, otherwise Pei Ju and Pei Yun will both serve as governors of the African Metropolitan Protectorate, which will be a big problem.

Second, in this turmoil, no matter whether Pei Ju is really far-sighted or hidden deeper than Pei Yun, all in all, Pei Ju did not stand up to make trouble.

For Ouyang Shuo, that was enough.

In addition, Pei Ju was an old minister of the imperial dynasty, and successively served as the county warden of Guilin, the county warden of Xingzhou, and the governor of Somalia, with outstanding merits, and it is reasonable to recall Pei Ju from Africa for reuse this time.

This can also divide Pei Valve, why not.

As for the vacancy of the governor of Somalia left by Pei Ju, Ouyang Shuo did not appoint any of them, because the imperial court had decided to merge the Somali province into the Ethiopian province.

The expansion of Bactria on the African continent has just begun, and it will conquer one country after another in the future, and it is impossible to say that every country destroyed, a province will be established, that would be too bloated.

Therefore, reasonable annexation is the general trend, just like the strategy implemented by the imperial court in southern Xinjiang.

In addition to the appointment at the governor level, in order to supplement the newly established provinces of South Sudan and Kenya, the imperial court decided to transfer a group of officials from the imperial court and other provinces to supplement.

There is no doubt that a large part of these officials who were transferred were the spoilers in this turmoil, and all of them were sent to the African continent.

Because this kind of adjustment is very subtle, it is difficult for outsiders to see that it is tired.

As for those officials who were "assigned", some of them should know that even so, they could only obediently obey the order, otherwise, they would not want to gain a foothold in Great Xia.

For those who do not obey the order, the "Great Xia Code" has clear punishment provisions.
