Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1912

While Qin Tian was investigating the officials in Chang'an City, Qin Tian had already prepared some regulations about Jinyiwei and sent them to Li Shimin.

After reading it, Li Shimin became more and more in favor of Qin Tian's proposal to add a Jinyiwei.

The emperor is close to the army, he only obeys Li Shimin, and he can do a lot of things, which means that he, the emperor, can directly intervene in many things in Datang.

And such power, even if Li Shimin is an emperor, he still wants it very much.

In fact, being an emperor is not unique sometimes, and people will still deceive you in many things. Li Shimin didn't feel it very clearly before, but after Qin Tian checked the officials in this way, he felt that this situation couldn't be more obvious.

In this way, he wants to have such a pro-military who can help him with anything.

Qin Tian's Jinyiwei originally only wanted to play a supervisory role, but now, it also has some other additional functions.

Li Shimin thinks this is good. Jinyiwei is counted by thousands of households. In the ten ways of the Tang Dynasty, each way has to set up several thousand households. Things will happen soon.

For example, if there is a disaster in a place, and the officials here want to conceal it and not report it, they can do it in the past, but now, there are Jinyiwei in various places, and Jinyiwei will hand over the news directly to Li Shimin. In this way, who can hide it? ?

Li Shimin felt that Jin Yiwei was very useful, not just satisfying some of his hobbies.

Feeling good, Li Shimin decided to bring this matter up in court the next morning.

The next day, it was considered a big court, and Qin Tian also came.

However, when Qin Tian entered the palace, many officials cast hostile eyes on Qin Tian, ​​and many people were unwilling to get close to Qin Tian, ​​some because Qin Tian moved their people, others Humans may be purely afraid and don't want to get involved so much with Qin Tian.

However, Qin Tian didn't care about this situation at all, and entered the hall swaggeringly.

Beginning in the morning, Li Shimin discussed some more important matters with the officials, and when the discussion was almost done, Li Shimin finally spoke about Jinyiwei.

"Dear dear ones, after investigating the officials of Chang'an City, I found that Yushitai is not strong enough to supervise all officials. Of course, the whole Yushitai let me down. In Yushitai, there are only corpses and vegetarian meals. There are five or six people who do things, and there are as many as a dozen who accept bribes, oppress the people, or even extort money. This situation in Yushitai is really very sad and disappointing. Therefore, I decided to form Jinyiwei to be responsible for the supervision of all officials."

When these words came out, many officials in Yushitai bowed their heads in shame. Naturally, they were all aware of the situation in Yushitai. Who would dare to say that they were all doing things wholeheartedly like Wei Zheng?

Many people impeach other people not for profit, and some timid people dare not do anything after entering Yushitai. After many years in Yushitai, they have not impeached a single person.

Such people can be said to be very vegetarian, not to mention that Qin Tian wants to dismiss them, even the other people in Yushitai want to dismiss these people.

However, when they heard that Li Shimin was going to form Jinyiwei to supervise the officials, these people at Yushitai couldn't sit still.

The matter of supervising hundreds of officials is the duty of their Yushitai. If it is handed over to Jin Yiwei, then their Yushitai will slowly exist in name only. Yushitai has no authority to supervise and impeach all officials. The existence of these people is embarrassing, right?

As an official, who doesn't want to firmly grasp the power in his own hands?

So, right after Li Shimin finished speaking, the people here at Yushitai immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, there are some officials in Yushitai who did not do well, but it doesn't mean that the whole Yushitai is useless. Supervising and impeaching all officials has always been the responsibility of Yushitai. To do this, the Holy Majesty wants to set up Jinyi Guards now. Isn’t this superfluous? Moreover, if there is one more Jinyi Guards, it is necessary to provide them with salaries and Jinyi Guards. These all need to spend a lot of money. My Tang Dynasty is indeed rich now. It’s a little too much, but you can’t be so extravagant and wasteful, please think twice and take it back.”

"That's right, our Yushitai is still doing very well. Master Wei Zhengwei has repeatedly remonstrated with death. Could it be that the achievements of our Yushitai can't be seen by the Holy One? The Jinyiwei must not be established. .”

"That's right, that's right. Your Majesty, please think twice, and don't set up Jinyiwei."

"........."

As long as interests are involved in matters in this world, there will naturally be disputes.

Jin Yiwei and Yushitai have some overlaps in authority, so they naturally became enemies.

Now, people in Yushitai are very opposed to Li Shimin's establishment of Jinyiwei. At the same time, those officials in the court also expressed their opposition after they reacted.

This is Jin Yiwei, who directly obeys the emperor's orders. In that case, who of them still has some privacy?

I'm afraid it will be difficult to be an official in the future, right?
Therefore, they can't let Jinyiwei be established.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are right. My Tang Dynasty is not very rich, and the money needed by Jin Yiwei is huge. We can't afford it. Let's think about it."

"That's right, Your Majesty, we really should think about it again, and if it's just to supervise the officials, those officials from Yushitai are enough."

"........."

Everyone was talking, but Li Shimin's eyes were slightly fixed, and he was faintly displeased.

The reason why these people oppose Jin Yiwei is not for their own benefit. Li Shimin is the emperor, and he sees many things more thoroughly than others.

However, the more these people want to oppose, the more he wants to form Jinyiwei, because he doesn't want to live like a blind man, Jinyiwei is his eyes, his eyes outside the palace.

"What you dear ministers are worried about is money. I don't need to worry about the Ministry of Finance. I will form a pro-army brocade guard. I don't need the money and food from the Ministry of Finance and the treasury. All expenses will be paid from the internal treasury."

"As for Yushitai, I have no intention of canceling you. You can do what you should do at Yushitai. However, you said that Yushitai was not at fault. Then this time the investigation of officials, various departments found so many Officials in question, how do you explain it at Yushitai?"

"This Jinyiwei, I have decided to form it."
