After the promulgation of Shi Min's decree, the whole country of Dazhao set off two vigorous movements, one was a movement to rectify the rule of officials, and the other was a movement to demolish evil shrines and maintain religious beliefs.

After the two movements related to the country, Rao is Shi Min's prestige is extremely high, and no one in the government and the opposition can match it.

Despite this, the decree was still issued.

Due to the intervention of various local officials, it may be contrary to the yang and yin, so Shi Min directly sent troops to assist the imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the officials sent by the Imperial Governor's Mansion were responsible for investigating and arresting.

And another movement to demolish the evil shrine is also vigorous, and it can be regarded as a cultural movement!

Through the demolished evil shrines, the government also found out a lot of corrupt officials, local tyrants and shoddy gentry, and confiscated their homes one by one to punish them.

According to Xun Ji's estimate, in the past month, from these two campaigns, the imperial court has raided the family and exterminated the family, and the confiscated money has definitely exceeded 300 million! No less than eight million stone of grain obtained!

What kind of concept is this?

These 300 million money, according to Zhao Jun's military expenses, is enough for Zhao to raise another 1 million troops and tens of thousands of officials for three years!

And the grain of eight million stones is enough to supply Zhao Guo's expenses for two years!

As you can imagine, this number is by no means more than that.

In the future, Shi Min will also dig deeper into those corrupt officials who are hidden deeper and get more money and food!

After being the master of the house for so long, Shi Min finally tasted the taste of wealth!

"Smack!"

At the court meeting, Shi Min took the case and threw a piece of music directly on the red carpet among the ministers.

"Within a month, the imperial court found out more than 700 corrupt officials and corrupt officials! As many as 5,000 people have been implicated! The amount of fat and ointment that these people have looted is more than 300 million yuan! The food is enough to supply the needs of the imperial court for two or three years! ”

Shi Min was furious and said: "The widow knows that there are still many corrupt officials in the central region who have not yet been punished, and this number is far more than that. ”

"The king's wrath!" The ministers were so frightened that they knelt down one after another.

"How do you make the widow angry?"

When the ministers heard this, they didn't dare to reply, and they all lowered their heads.

After a while, Shi Min seemed to be angry a lot, and said: "I believe that among the tens of thousands of officials in my Great Zhao Kingdom, there are more than 700 black sheep in this area. At present, the operation to rectify the rule of officials has only been going on for a month, but the efficiency is still too slow. Ran Wen and Cui Hao, how do you two explain this? ”

When Cui Hao and Ran Wen heard this, they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.

In the end, it was Cui Hao who stood up hard: "Your Majesty, my Tingwei Mansion is currently in a complicated state affairs, and manpower is really stretched. ”

Ran Wen also said: "King, I don't have enough manpower in the Imperial History Tower. ”

"None of this can be an excuse for the inefficiency of your Imperial Captain's Mansion and the Imperial Historical Tower!"

Shi Min said in a deep voice: "Spread Jing Zhan to the hall!" ”

"Spread the thorn to the temple!"

"Chuan Jing Zhan Shang Hall-" With Shi Min's summons, inside and outside the hall, up and down the steps of His Majesty, the shouts of the eunuchs and the guards immediately sounded.

Who is Jing Zhan?

In this regard, the ministers said that they were confused.

Only Shi Min's cronies and ministers were present, and only Cui Hao and Qin Mu knew. Jing Zhan, the first leader of the Shadow Division, controls a powerful intelligence network, as early as when Shi Min was still the Duke of Changshan County, the Dark Department has been created, and it is on a par with the Hanging Mirror Division, a national intelligence agency, in terms of intelligence collection.

Immediately, under the gaze of the ministers, a man with a mediocre appearance and wearing a flying fish suit walked into the council hall.

"Chen Jingzhan, see King Wei Chitose!" Jing Zhan only had Shi Min in his eyes, known as "King Chitose of Wei", but he turned a blind eye to the emperor Shi Zun, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Shi Min waved his hand and said, "Flat." ”

"King Xie!"

Shi Min looked around, and saw that the faces of the ministers were puzzled, and he said, "Jing Zhan is the current leader of the Hanging Mirror Division, and his rank is equivalent to Jiuqing. In order to speed up the speed of rectification and improve the efficiency of punishing lawbreakers, the widow will reorganize and expand the Hanging Mirror Division and enhance the power of the Hanging Mirror Division! ”

"From now on, the Hanging Mirror Division will be renamed 'Jinyiwei', the pro-army Governor's Mansion and the Yiluan Division will be abolished, and the Jinyiwei will be replaced. As the military institution of the emperor's guards, Jinyiwei was specially ordered to be in charge of the prison, given the right to patrol and arrest, and set up a pacification department to engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. ”

“……”

Hearing this, the court was like a fried pot.

Obviously, the ministers had a great deal of disagreement with this.

Are you kidding?

In the past, the Hanging Mirror Division was just an intelligence agency of Zhao State, which could be both internal and external, but it had little power, and was generally only responsible to the emperor. As long as you don't do anything, you don't have to be afraid of being caught by the Hanging Mirror Division.

But now this brocade guard is different.

Jinyiwei can be in charge of the prison, has the right to patrol and arrest, and has a pacification department under it, engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. This is equivalent to the fact that without asking the emperor, Jinyiwei can arrest people and put them in prison!

How can this not be feared?

It's so dark!

Da Situ article first stood up and objected: "King, the minister thinks that this brocade guard is not set up!" At present, the king thinks that the efficiency of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Governor's Mansion is too low, but it must be known that the matter of purging the officials should not be rushed. As the so-called governing a big country, if it is cooked! Rectifying the rule of officials is one aspect of governing the country. ”

"If things are too urgent, I'm afraid it will backfire."

"yes, yes! The king, the great Situ is right! Don't be in a hurry to rectify the rule of officials! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Jin Yiwei can arrest people and put them in prison without asking the emperor, this power is too big, and it is easy to hurt the innocent!"

……

The ministers were chattering, and they were all opposing the reorganization of the Hanging Mirror Division and creating that Jinyi Guard.

Jinyiwei is a product of the Ming Dynasty in the original history.

The Ming Dynasty, as a heyday of absolute monarchy, could infiltrate imperial power into every link. The factory and sanitation system is one of the representatives, which is a unique system of the Ming Dynasty.

It was first established by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the initial functions were three: first, guarding; 2. Investigation and arrest; Third, the edict of prison. But with the development, the power of Jinyiwei is also gradually changing.

So how has this changed?

How much power do they have?

During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, although the Jinyi Guard played a lot of roles in the early stage, but later they began to abuse their power and do some illegal things.

However, in the period of orthodoxy, Jinyiwei's power began to expand again, and he was in charge of the affairs of the imperial court.

By the time of King Sejong's reign, the power of Jinyiwei reached an unprecedented peak. Especially when Lu Bing was in charge of Jinyiwei, he recruited a large number of heroes from the rivers and lakes, and the eyes and ears of Jinyiwei were all over the place, and the officials of the DPRK and China knew everything about major matters.

So much so that many court officials at that time were frightened by Jinyiwei, for fear that they would be caught by their surveillance and unfavorable handles.

And the management at that time was also extremely strict, and once Jin Yiwei made a mistake, he would be punished very severely. This is why the Jinyiwei of this period is the most powerful.

But in the Wanli period, Jinyiwei's status began to decline, and he began to cooperate with Dongchang to be powerful. However, as the various contradictions in the Ming Dynasty became more and more acute, the court began to be divided, the ministers privately formed parties for their own interests, and Wei Zhongxian began to abuse power.

At this time, the power of Jinyiwei was lower than that of Dongchang, and even became its vassal.

However, the Jinyi Guards at their peak were indeed terrifying, because they were not bound by the Three Law Divisions, and even often deprived the Three Law Divisions of their judicial powers. In order to handle cases, they have their own "courts", often abusing torture and disregarding human life.

For example, in the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Jinyiwei was often extrajudicial, and tens of thousands of ministers died at the hands of Jinyiwei at that time.

Another example is the Qi period, in order to cause Yang Lian to be unjustly imprisoned, Xu Xianchun, the Fusi of Beizhen, openly fabricated evidence, and also abused Yang Lian's punishment to extract a confession from the bribery of the former military department, but Yang Lian still swore to death in the face of torture, and Xu Xianchun could not force a confession, so he simply forged a confession.

From here, it can be seen that Jin Yiwei abused his power at that time, not only using lynching in order to convict people, but also reversing right and wrong and fabricating evidence.

Although the Jinyiwei's methods are a bit cruel and frightening, but for the Ming Dynasty, there is also its positive side, the Jinyiwei is densely packed with stars up and down the government and the opposition, so that many officials dare not fill their own pockets, to a large extent, curb the corruption of the Ming Dynasty officials, and play a deterrent role in the governance of the Ming Dynasty officials!
