The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 369 Setting up the Criminal Court
Zhao Dongting watched the setting sun gradually fall to the west, and seeing that it was about to fall to the west mountain, he felt that his head was about to explode.

This girl is really not serious.

She left the palace alone, and even left Haikang.What to do when you are out at night?
In this day and age, there are still many ferocious beasts rampant in the wild, and even the crops in the villages near the city are trampled by wild beasts.

In desperation, Zhao Dongting had to come to Huang Liujia and ask him to lead several Wudingtang priests who knew music and dance to go out of the city to look for music and dance.

Communication is inconvenient these days, and it is really not easy to find someone.

Ying Er and Zhang Ru have shed tears several times because of this, they get along with Le Wu day and night, and treat her as their own sister.

Several days have passed, but Huang Liujia and others have not returned, and no news has reached Haikang.

Zhao Dongting sent more than ten Wuding Halls to enshrine and go out of the city, but there was nothing they could do.

That night, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Wang Wenfu, Xiang Dongyang, and Chen Wenlong entered the palace together to ask to see Zhao Dongting.

They were some of the top civil servants in the Great Song Dynasty, so they asked to see each other overnight, and it was a matter of recommending talents.

Zhao Dongting had already fallen asleep, so he had to get up, and approached five people in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, all the talents we want to recommend have been listed on the roster."

After the five people saluted Zhao Dongting, Lu Xiufu respectfully handed over the roster in his hand.It's very thick, maybe dozens of pages.

Now Guangnan West Road has no Yuan army except Boyan and Ye Suer.Zhao Dongting naturally planned to spread all the government agencies.

Throughout Guangxi, the original local officials are basically all to be transferred, especially those who were indifferent when the Song Dynasty was in danger. In any case, they cannot continue to be officials in the court.Even for those ethnic minorities, Zhao Dongting did not intend to let them have absolute sovereignty.

He didn't want a country within a country to emerge.

In this way, there are more than twenty states and dozens of counties. Not only the chief officer needs to be transferred, but almost all other officials have to be rearranged.Before making arrangements, it is inevitable to consider various factors, such as their relationship, background and ability, etc. The task is not without heavy ones.

Although most of the county magistrates are no more than nine-rank sesame officials, they will greatly hinder the development of Song Dynasty if they do harm.Zhao Dongting had to be cautious.

After roughly reading the roster, Zhao Dongting said: "I will study it for a few days first, and then I will make a decision with you."

Lu Xiufu and the others are still very capable. On the roster, there are more or less introductions and comments on the talents.

Among them, the vast majority are students of the current Guozijian Middle School.Other than that, they are all court officials, with the fewest virtuous people among the people.

The people on the roster appear younger.

Lu Xiufu and others nodded when they heard Zhao Dongting's words.

Zhao Dongting added: "Now that the State Council and the Military Aircraft Academy have taken shape, the Overwatch Council is only supported by the Supervisory Order. You might as well think about which two ministers you can recommend to the Overwatch Council as deputy supervisory orders. In addition, I intend to set up a criminal court again, which is at the same level as the three courts of state affairs, military aircraft, and supervision, and will be in charge of criminal law judgments across the country, do you have any good talents to recommend?"

Lu Xiufu and the others were slightly surprised when they heard the words.

Zhao Dongting added the Judgment Court, which means that the Judiciary Division, which was originally subordinate to the local chief official, will be separated.

And in the court, there will inevitably be a faction dominated by the Criminal Court.The powers and responsibilities of the State Council and the Procuratorate were allocated a lot again.

Since then, the competent officials of the State Council have been unable to exercise full authority over the transfer of officials, while the supervisory officials of the Control Yuan can only recommend and supervise, and have no power to adjudicate cases or dismiss officials.If the State Council wants to promote an official, it has to communicate with the Supervisory Yuan, and if the Supervisory Yuan wants to remove an official, it has to go through the judgment of the Criminal Court.In other words, the State Council, the Supervisory Yuan, and the Criminal Court will be in a situation where each other will hinder each other in the future.

It can be expected that in the future, after Zhao Dongting is removed from the Great Song Dynasty, there will be no more arbitrary people in the court.

Whether central or local.Even if it is the chief officer, there will no longer be a situation of monopoly.

This will have a profound impact on the entire Song Dynasty.

Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and others all fell silent.

In the end, Lu Xiufu took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, this veteran thinks that Mr. Wang may be able to serve as a criminal order."

Wang Wenfu was already well-known in the Great Song Dynasty. If the Great Song Dynasty was still the former Great Song Dynasty, it would be understandable for him to sacrifice wine for the Imperial College and be the Secretary of the Ministry of Education. But now, the talents of the Song Dynasty are withered. With his prestige and status, if he wants to set up a prison , he is undoubtedly one of the most suitable candidates.

Zhang Shijie also nodded, "I also think that Mr. Wang can take on this great responsibility."

When Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng attacked Haikang, Wang Wenfu led the students from the Guozijian to fight, which made them all respectful.

Zhao Dongting heard the words, looked at Wang Wenfu who was silent with a smile, and said, "What do you think, Mr. Wang?"

Wang Wenfu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this veteran feels that this is inappropriate. The veteran has never served in the Criminal Division before, and he accidentally understands the Criminal Division. I think it is better to be promoted from the Criminal Division to serve as a criminal order. suitable."

"That's not a problem."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said: "Our Great Song Dynasty is waiting to be revived, and all departments have been reorganized. The Criminal Court can do the same!"

He was unwilling to directly promote a minister from the Department of Prosecution to serve as a criminal order, but he also had other considerations.

The former officials of the Criminal Division belonged to the same faction, and he needed new power to break through the stagnant pool.

Whether it is the emperor or those in high positions, they would never want to see the people below them monolithic.Clique formation is fine, but if there is only one faction in a department, then that faction will be difficult to monitor.

The eyes of Lu Xiufu and the others flickered, and it could be heard that Zhao Dongting had intended to let Wang Wenfu take the post of criminal order.

They don't have any objection to this, the done deal, what else can they say?
Could it be that Zhao Dongting no longer sets up a criminal order?
Doesn't this mean that they have Chao Gang's arbitrary ambition?
But Wang Wenfu said again: "Master Kewen has served as a military commander in the court, and the old minister and him..."

Zhao Dongting laughed out loud, "Your Majesty Wang is worrying too much, how can I not trust the military orders and your behavior?"

It turned out that Wang Wenfu was worried that he and Wen Tianxiang were too popular.Perhaps this was what he was really worried about.

After Wen Qi and Wang Yiyuan got married, he and Wen Tianxiang were already in-laws, and they could be regarded as a family.Wen Tianxiang is already a military order, if he makes a criminal order, two of the four highest institutions of the Song Dynasty will fall into their hands. Who knows if this will arouse the emperor's suspicion in the future?

Wang Wenfu is in a high position, and he understands very well that the emperor is absolutely not happy to see any person or family holding too much power.

Even after hearing what Zhao Dongting said now, he was still worried.Because things are unpredictable.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Dongting said, "Okay, this matter is settled as it is, Mr. Wang will be reassigned as a punishment order. After all civil servants at all levels in the court have made a decision, I will issue it at the same time. As for the appointment of the two deputy commanders of the Overwatch Council and the Criminal Court, it is getting dark tonight, so there will be no further discussion, and my lords will think it over when they go back, and let me know if there are suitable candidates."

"Yes."

Lu Xiufu and the others handed over their hands, then resigned and left.

Zhao Dongting was sitting in the yard, but he was in a daze.

In fact, he also knows that the power in the court is still too concentrated, but what can be done?

At the beginning of the founding of the country, there will be top wealthy families. This is an inevitable process, and it is also a process that must be experienced.We have to wait until the general trend of the country is settled, and continue to attract talented people from the people. Perhaps this situation can be changed, he murmured, "I hope you all can stick to your heart..."

A few more days.

Huang Liujia waited for Wu Ding Tang to enshrine and return, but failed to find Yue Wu.

Zhao Dongting was worried, but he was helpless.

The candidates for the deputy supervisors and criminals were also submitted to Zhao Dongting's case from Lu Xiufu and others.

Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, and Chen Wenlong have obviously discussed this matter.

The post of deputy supervisory order of the Supervisory Yuan was promoted to Sun Shichuan, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xie Fangde, the former Jiangdong Tixing and Jiangxi Recruiting Envoy.

As for the two deputy criminal orders of the Criminal Court, Hao Wenxiu, the censor Zhongcheng, who was the head of the criminal department, and Xi Zhili, the supervisory censor, were nominated.

These four people were all ministers in the Song Dynasty who were second only to Lu Xiufu and others.

After careful consideration, Zhao Dongting approved the recommendation of Lu Xiufu and others.For important positions such as deputy supervisory order and deputy criminal order, it is impossible to randomly select talented people from the people, and they can only be promoted from the court.In the official way, it is taboo to reach the sky in one step, because the ability can never keep up.
