The appointment of a member of the clan as the assassin is in Liu Ji's arms, which is completely in line with his vision of the Liu family's world.

He looked down and thought for a moment, then asked,

"Then, do you want to take charge of the army?"

Lu Pheasant's eyes widened, and it was hard to imagine how distrustful the bureaucrats of the generation of heroes in front of him were, or how inexplicable he was so enthusiastic about his own family with the same surname.

She made a thoughtful gesture, tactfully pointed out the key points,

"We live in the deep palace, we can't see and hear far, and we are often blinded, and the establishment of the assassin history is precisely to be able to find out the truth and supervise the governance of the officials from time to time with the heart of the clan.

But if the assassin is like the princes and kings, he has the right to hold the army for a long time, wouldn't it add a source of chaos? ”

Liu Ji is such a caring person, hearing that this is reasonable, he immediately listened attentively, chewing slowly word by word, Lu Pheasant took advantage of the victory to pursue, and expressed his heart directly,

"In my opinion, the reason why the clan served as the assassin is far better than the county supervisor in the previous Qin period is that there are three main keys, one is called 'patrol', one is called 'inspection', and the other is called 'envoy'."

She stretched out three white fingers, methodical and seductive.

***

The system of inspection of the history of assassination began in the early Han Dynasty, and was reformed and perfected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and gradually developed into a vertical supervision system directly subordinate to the central government and free from local interference.

Later, despite the change of times and the passage of time, whether it was the Sui Dynasty's proverbial Tai Zhijie and Si Litai, or the Tang Dynasty's patrol envoy, they were all born from the original intention of the Han Dynasty's assassin history inspector.

If a system is still fresh after 900 years, it means that it can solve the pain of the emperor.

They are all people who have been emperors, and within a few steps after bidding farewell to Liu Fei, she has been sure that Liu Ji will gladly accept the system of assassination. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the word "fear" and the word "prevention".

The emperor wants to manage more than 50 counties in the country by himself, and he is destined to be out of reach, and it is impossible to ask about everything, so he needs to find more help.

This kind of help, in Luoyang City, is the Xiangguo Xiao He and the members of the divisions, in the counties directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, for the county guards and county orders of the people on the pastoral side, and in the vassal states, it is the princes and kings and the prime ministers of the kingdom.

The king of a country, living deep in the capital, despite the endless court meetings and concerts, and the annual local counties and counties from the bottom up layer by layer, from all directions of information sweat and cattle, seems to know nothing, nothing knows, but often the most closed people in the world.

Therefore, he needs to send people he trusts to visit every corner of the empire to bring him the most honest feedback.

"Well, the assassin Zhou Xingjun country, the walker, that is, the patrol.

Those counties directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court must be patrolled. ”

Liu Ji said slowly, his thoughts were obviously still tied up in other matters.

The light in Lu Pheasant's eyes flashed, knowing that his heart was related, he simply said,

"What about the vassal states, do you want to patrol the history of the assassins?"

She stood by the half-open window, feeling the chill of the cold wind, and felt that her ears and eyes were bright in this life, and the sky was high and the sea was wide, and she would definitely be better than before.

Liu Ji on the couch clenched his teeth, his forehead suddenly jumped with green tendons, he was silent for a long time, and only replied with one word in a low voice:

"Patrol."

***

"Good!" Lu Pheasant secretly applauded his determination.

Summoning the princes and kings to Luojia, sending the prime ministers of the kingdom to the vassal states, and sending the assassins to the country to supervise them seemed to be only a small step in the change of the bureaucratic system, but it was a big step for the central government to seize power from the local areas and try to see the poor dagger.

She then added,

"On behalf of the Son of Heaven patrolling, wherever he goes, if the king is there in person, this is a patrol.

There is another layer, if the history of the thorn can be impermanent governance, passing the traffic around, not sticking to the fixed place, not sticking to the time of the inspection, it is also the essence of the word "patrol". ”

Liu Ji slapped his thigh and said happily: "This method is wonderful!" ”

The so-called running water is not corrupt, and the household hub is not beetle, and the history of thorns is used in a flexible and mobile way to conduct random inspections and inspections in various places, without a fixed place of residence, and without a fixed time, which can greatly reduce the whitewashing of the local county and state bureaucrats, and can also prevent them from colluding and colluding, so as not to bend the law for personal gain and affect the results of supervision.

"Let's talk about 'Cha' again.

Your Majesty thinks that where is the limit of the right to examine the history of assassination? ”

Unconsciously, Liu Ji's train of thought was led by the queen's successive questions, and diverged and expanded. He rubbed his brow and pondered,

"Let them only observe and not shepherd.

Just now you are right, the right to assassinate history must also be restricted, otherwise it will be another group of lawless princes and kings. ”

This was a clear limitation of the terms of reference of the assassins, as the eyes and ears of the emperor, Liu Ji only gave them the power to find problems, but did not intend to give them the power to deal with problems.

Everywhere he went, he supervised the official affairs of the county guards, county orders, and vassal states, listening, questioning, watching, visiting, measuring, and inspecting, and if he found any violations of the law, he could directly impeach the emperor without the hands of any officials, but he did not have the power to personally dismiss officials and directly interfere in government affairs.

That's right, Lu Pheasant slowly bowed his head,

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the right to assassinate history, if you give less, it will not work, and if you give more, it will be bad, and the priority of this needs to be repaired and adjusted from time to time according to the state of affairs."

***

According to the history books, after the development of the Han Dynasty's assassination system for 400 years, it gradually departed from its original intention, and the power of the assassination history expanded, and it became a military and political chief with a fixed governing office, and became a "state pastor", like a warlord who also led the army and had great power in the people, and finally became self-reliant.

Liu Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly, full of complaints,

"My current feelings are really indescribable, I used to hear people say that governing the country is like cooking small fresh, elegant and elegant!

I think that governing the country is comparable to that of you women mending their clothes, making up for it, tearing down the cuffs to make plackets, and removing the lining to make up for face, and surviving for a year, and another year. ”

What is the way to do this, who told Han Chu to catch up with a piece of ragged clothes that were ventilated everywhere, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but smile, and continued,

"Although it is a ragged robe, the power to sew and mend must be firmly held in the hands of the emperor alone.

This is the third point I want to make, the 'envoy' of stabbing history is the same as flying a kite. ”

"Well, you mean, even if it's a royal family, it's just a messenger I sent after all, and the string of the kite is in my hands after all."

Liu Ji rolled his eyes a few times, this ragged robe, even if it was full of holes, was also obtained by him after a lot of hard work.

"In the final analysis, the assassin is just a temporary position, and the rank should not be set too high, just set six hundred stones, which is the same level as the county orders of several large counties, which is enough.

The official is small enough to dare to speak out and have nothing to shy away from. ”

Hearing this, Lu Pheasant took a deep look at Liu Ji, this person's mind is so deep that it is rare to meet in the eternals. These few words seem to be weightless, but they imply turbulent waves-

The position is humble and respectful, the official is small and powerful, the size is controlled, and the internal and external dimensions are maintained.

In this way, the power that seems to reach the heavens only comes from the appointment of the emperor, so in order to save their lives, they can only obey the emperor's orders with all their hearts.

With light and heavy, the emperor only used this trick to completely turn the thorn into a kite in his hand.
