Chapter 1105 Wei Zheng Joins the Cabinet

In order to manage Nuoda's dynasty well, Ouyang Shuo has been taking frequent actions recently.

In addition to convening a hundred schools of thought to compile Yanhuang thoughts, attempting to unify the thoughts of the world and declare orthodoxy; to formulate the "Civil Code", "Commercial Code" and "Criminal Code", to improve the system of Da Xia's legal codes, and to establish the fundamental position of law in the governance of the dynasty. Ouyang Shuo is also planning to strengthen supervision.

Daxia's supervision system is divided into two parts, bright and dark.

The two secrets are Shanhaiwei, the spy organization in charge of intelligence in the Huaxia region, and the Black Snake Guards, which is in charge of intelligence in overseas regions; Liangming is Yushitai, which is in charge of the imperial court, and the supervision offices (divisions) at all levels of the internal affairs system.

The dark system, whether it is Shanhaiwei or Black Snakewei, with the support of massive funds, after several years of incubation, has finally taken root and stabilized without major changes.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo mainly adjusted the Ming system.

Previously, the Office of Supervision had changed from a single-line leadership of the Interior Yuan to a dual leadership of Yushitai and the Interior Yuan, in order to strengthen the supervision and impeachment of officials at all levels.

"But it's not enough!"

As an institution in charge of speech and supervision, Yushitai is responsible for supervising all officials. It only stares at the imperial court, and the supervision of local yamen can only be completed by the Supervision Office, which is a bit powerless.

However, the imperial court and Beijing officials are all equipped with the top historical talents. On the contrary, the local yamen, in the process of integrating into the Great Xia, reorganized many old officials, some good and bad, which is the hardest hit area of ​​official corruption.

What Ouyang Shuo has to do is to sink the Yushi Terrace to achieve full coverage of all levels of yamen.

In the first year of Guangzhai in the Tang Dynasty, Yushitai was changed to Zuosuzhengtai, which was in charge of the supervision affairs of Beijing officials and the army, and Yousuzhengtai was set up to take charge of local supervision affairs.

Later, the left station can also monitor the place.

The two stations send special envoys to inspect prefectures and counties with forty-eight articles every spring and autumn. Those dispatched in spring are called custom envoys, and those dispatched in autumn are called incorruptible envoys. In the first year of Shenlong, it was changed to Zuoshi Yushitai.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to imitate the practice of the Tang Dynasty, but with some improvements.

After consultation with the cabinet, Yushitai's adjustment plan was quickly released, mainly including two aspects.

First, Yushitai dispatched Yushi to stay in the local yamen.

The provincial governor's yamen arranges a leading censor, the prefectural yamen arranges a palace censor, the magistrate's yamen arranges a supervisory censor, and the county government arranges a trainee censor.

The censors at all levels can directly report to the next level, and they are only responsible to the higher level censors.

Second, establish the Yushitai inspection system.

Daxia will follow the old system of the Tang Dynasty and send special envoys to inspect the prefectures and counties in the spring and autumn every year.

Such a two-pronged approach has greatly strengthened the supervision of hundreds of officials.

In view of this, Yushitai will carry out a new round of expansion, and outstanding officials will be transferred from the imperial court or local yamen to serve in Yushitai.

Ouyang Shuo said beforehand that the officials selected for Yushitai must be of high quality.

"If you do a good job, you can also be promoted first!"

For a while, Yushitai became the most popular institution in the dynasty, and officials flocked to it, thinking that as long as they entered Yushitai, it was equivalent to having an amulet on their body, which was plated with a layer of gold, and it was the only way to be promoted.

All I can say is, "They were too happy!"

The chief officer of Yushitai, Doctor Yushi Wei Zheng, is a cold-faced judge, plus Bao Zheng, the director of supervision who is also Yushi Zhongcheng, the combination of these two is tantamount to declaring that Yushitai is Yan Luodian.

"Not all little devils can enter."

At the same time, in order to ensure the authority of the Yushitai, so that it has enough confidence to supervise the officials, Ouyang Shuo suggested that Wei Zheng, a doctor of the Yushi, be invited to join the cabinet, becoming the second part-time cabinet elder after Zhang Liang.

This time, Yu Shitai's back completely stood up.

After adjustment, Yushitai is like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all officials, forming a deterrent.

This is the good side of Yushitai, and there is also a worrying side.

Historically, whether it is the Yushitai or the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there is a hidden danger, that is, the supervision of the censors can easily become a weapon for the factional struggle of the court civil servants.

The impeachment of the supervisory censor through "loyalty" to defeat the enemy is one of the common methods used by civil officials.

As a result, the authority of Yushitai disappeared.

More importantly, when Yushitai was manipulated by the civil official group, it also directly threatened the imperial power, causing the emperor to lose control of the officials. It was too dangerous and easy to be emptied by the civil official group.

"The supervisory censor impeached for the sake of impeachment, which is criticized by the world."

In view of this situation, combined with the federal system, Ouyang Shuo also has a countermeasure, which is to make the Yushitai and the Internal Affairs Council more closely linked, assisting each other and restricting each other.

When Yushitai found clues of official corruption, it should be handed over to the Internal Affairs Court for trial. Yushitai itself has no right to hear the case. Once it is tried by the Internal Affairs Court and it is found that the impeachment is false, the supervisory censor will have to bear the responsibility.

Those who are mild will affect the year-end assessment, and those who are serious will be dismissed immediately for investigation.

In this way, the occurrence of "abuse of power" by the censor has been greatly prevented.

During the whole process, Ouyang Shuo never thought of involving Shanhaiwei and Black Snake Guard, using these two spy organizations to supervise Yushitai, and to emulate the Ming Dynasty's spies in governing the country.

An organization like Shanhaiwei, once given too much power, will not let it go, and will bite Ouyang Shuo, the master, or do things behind Ouyang Shuo's back.

This is what Ouyang Shuo has been trying his best to prevent.

Even if the Shanhaiwei led by Shen Buhai is absolutely loyal to Ouyang Shuo, Ouyang Shuo will gradually tighten the authority of the Shanhaiwei so that he can focus on intelligence collection instead of secretly monitoring officials.

"Let the dynasty system run smoothly under the sun" is Ouyang Shuo's ultimate goal.

This is a new dynasty, a great dynasty that is ready to carry the mission of the rise of Chinese civilization, the responsibility and the mind it should have, instead of hiding in the dark and spying on everything.

The only thing that can be passed on for generations is the system.

Today, Ouyang Shuo, as the founder of the dynasty, can restrain Shanhaiwei. When Ouyang Shuo abdicates, how can he ensure that the poisonous snake will be trusted by the new master and not cause any moths? !

Therefore, in any case, this is a major hidden danger and must be prevented in advance.

…………

Unify thinking, improve codes, and strengthen supervision.

Ouyang Shuo thought about all kinds of problems that would arise after the dynasty became bigger and bigger, and finally came up with these three tricks. It is still in the experimental stage right now, and after it is actually implemented, I believe that Daxia will be very different.

Just when Ouyang Shuo was in the capital and was carrying out drastic restructuring within the dynasty, Shanhaiwei suddenly sent news that there was a change in the north, which made the originally peaceful wilderness suddenly tense.
