Chapter 313: Chang'an
When the ministers in the main hall heard what the emperor said, the ministers who originally wanted to come out to oppose it suddenly stopped. Who would dare to take this? Do you want to tell the emperor that he has committed a crime, so he doesn't dare to let the embroidery envoy make an inspection?
The originally prepared rhetoric could no longer be spoken, and even if the courtiers were dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak out against it.
After no one objected, the embroidery division was approved and officially established.
However, the embroidery envoy is not set up after it can be done, which involves a lot. Wang Ce decided to personally go to various places to inspect it.
When he heard that Wang Ce wanted to go to inspect in person, Wang Jing said with some worry: "Brother, you are not in good health, I don't want you to work hard anymore to inspect the world, besides, some local forces are intertwined, once they play some conspiracy and make my brother injured, how can I explain to my father?" ”
Wang Jing is still relatively clear about the affairs of the prefectures and counties in the world, the world is peaceful, Emperor Wen is merciful, and the prison is lenient, which certainly makes the world prosperous, but also causes many officials to be corrupt.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, Luoyang, Nanyang, Daliang, Jinling and other places are fine, but in other places, not only those nobles, but even the county guards and county orders are also up and down.
When Wang Ke was in power before, these people were still very restrained, but after Wang Jing ascended the throne, the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, and many people had careful thoughts.
At this time, the embroidered clothes made the world inspect, if Wang Ce was brought together, who knew if it would be beneficial for those who wanted to take risks.
Wang Ce said with a smile: "Your Majesty, with the protection of Yulin Guard, who dares to act rashly?" ”
"Besides, with the help of the Secret Guard, those people can't make any waves."
Wang Ce inspected the world this time, and there were many soldiers and officials accompanying him, and there were thousands of Yulinwei alone. There were also dozens of officials accompanying him.
Thousands of Yulin guards, skilled in horsemanship, superb martial arts, can ride and shoot on horseback, can charge into battle when dismounting, and have excellent armor to protect themselves, as well as bows and crossbows, one person and three horses, such equipment, even if it is a 10,000-strong army formation, they can also go.
A group of people passed on the gallop road, and after the construction of the gallop road was completed, it was repaired every year, and the carriage walked smoothly and at a slow speed. The mountains and trees on both sides of the road kept receding.
"Lord Wang, we have entered the Cuihan Passage, and after passing here, we will enter Guanzhong."
Wang Ce's first stop was Guanzhong. Take the Cuihan passage into Guanzhong, then enter Bashu, and then go down the river into Jiangzhou, the hometown of Chu, and then enter Jinling, and go north to Qi.
Wang Ce said: "After arriving in Chang'an, don't enter the city first, send people to various places to inquire about the news, and the lonely will take people into Chang'an first, and then ask some Chang'an officials about something." ”
All the embroidered clothes envoys responded one after another.
The convoy traveled all the way west, and soon entered Guanzhong and came to Chang'an. Eight rivers surround Chang'an, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, and thousands of miles of fertile fields.
After decades of continuous migration of the common people and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, there were many fewer old Qin people in the original Qin homeland, and on the contrary, the number of Huai people continued to increase.
As the great Qianxijing, Chang'an City occupies the fertile soil of Guanzhong, is densely populated, and there is an endless stream of merchants and merchants, almost without stopping.
In fact, from the perspective of geographical location, surrounding environment, mountains and rivers, Chang'an in Guanzhong is more suitable than Luoyang as the national capital.
But back then, Wang Luo ruled the world, and in order to better control the world, he did not move the capital to Chang'an, but set the capital Luoyang.
Because Chang'an City is rich in products and has caravans leading to the Western Regions, there are many merchants who come here. There are only a few most prosperous cities in the world, and most of the merchants come and go from these cities. It is only necessary to control these cities, which can collect a large amount of commercial taxes every year.
Chang'an City is the Xianyang City of the past years, when Shang Yang built Xianyang City with huge stones and rammed earth to build, the city is high and the pond is deep, there are eight rivers such as Jing and Wei outside the city, it can be said that it is extremely difficult to overcome.
The battle to destroy Qin that year did not take place in Xianyang, after all, hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the city, and Xianyang had become an isolated island, and finally had to surrender.
Chang'an has the foundation of the emperor, so there are no princes here, not even the prince, and it is Yulinwei who is responsible for guarding here.
The Guanzhong County Guard brought the officials of Guanzhong County and Chang'an City to meet Wang Ce.
"The lower officials meet King Su, King Su Wan'an!"
Wang Ce sat in a wheelchair and did not speak, the surrounding Yu Linwei turned over and dismounted, one of them directly held the tiger talisman, directly crossed the crowd and came to Chang'an City Yu Linwei, and said loudly: "By the edict of His Majesty the Emperor Daqian, Su Wang Ce will inspect the world, and all the Yu Linwei of Chang'an City will obey the dispatch!" ”
"Yui!"
After Yu Linwei, who was guarding Chang'an City, saw the tiger talisman, he immediately bowed down and saluted, and then stepped forward to meet Wang Ce.
Guanzhong County Guard, Chang'an Ling saw this situation and looked flustered. Yu Linwei, who was originally regarded as depending, directly became the control of King Su.
Now as long as King Su is willing, the entire Chang'an City is under his control.
Seeing that Yu Linwei was all controlled, Wang Ce stepped forward and said: "Don't blame the ministers, bear the emperor's order alone, inspect the world, and implement embroidered clothes, there is no room for mistakes, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”
Hearing Wang Ce's words, these ministers settled down a little, and they thought that Wang Ce was going to do it just now. Some people even think deeper, thinking that Wang Ce wants to seize Chang'an in order to compete with Wang Jing for the throne.
Everyone hurriedly said: "King Su has a great responsibility, and his subordinates know about it, how dare they blame it?" ”
Wang Ce's gaze swept over the many officials, who stood one by one with their hands down, with a false smile on their faces, and looked very obedient, but he had inspected the world before, and he was very clear about the virtues of state and county officials.
He walked around the place to know that the county order was called Baili Hou. Hehe, Baili Hou, there are no Baili in the fiefdom of the county marquis in the middle of the court. One can imagine the power of these county ordinances at the local level.
If the county order is like this, how simple is the county guard?
It has been more than 40 years since the founding of the country, and more than 20 years have passed since the founding of the country. Many officials have long since fallen.
Wang Ce knew very well that among these officials in front of him, who were as well-behaved as little white rabbits, there were a few people who bent the law for personal gain, and those who embezzled and accepted bribes could be found with their eyes closed.
Clever robbery, forced buying and selling, and even directly seizing people's land, the secret guard found a lot after investigation.
The imperial court set up a system and set up supervision, but it still could not prevent official corruption. In the history of his previous life, in order to curb corruption, Zhu Hongwu used torture such as peeling skin and filling grass to punish officials, but corrupt officials in the world still killed endlessly.
Even after its collapse, the corruption of Ming officials immediately slipped at an alarming rate.
No matter how good it is, no matter how perfect the system is, it also needs people to implement it, and if it is entrusted to a non-person, even if it is originally a law for the benefit of the people, it will become a law that harms the people and becomes a tool for officials to accumulate wealth.
