The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 159 Reopening the South Office

Although Yuan Ji said that he never asked about politics, his words were quite to my liking.

Ye Mengding said: "Your Majesty, if the third plan is implemented, will it be too lenient to those officials who commit crimes, embezzle the treasury, and plunder the people?"

"Yes, and no." I paused and said seriously, "If these officials keep their bottom line from now on, then their past crimes can be forgiven. I violated the law again. However, there will be many people among them. They are addicted to corruption, just like people who smoke five stone powder. Can they bear it? I think they will continue to smoke, but they will endure it for a while, and when they can't bear it, they will smoke again. Once they smoke again, we can deal with them according to law, and more They will dig out their old accounts and thoroughly check them. At that time, the new accounts and old accounts will be settled together, so no wonder I am ruthless. During this period, what is beneficial to us is the sequence of time. For example, today is Fujian Road. A few people, tomorrow will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment by Chengdu Fu Road, as long as the outbreak does not happen at the same time, then we can use this time difference to arrange alternate officials."

Ye Mengding nodded and said: "Your Majesty, in this way, the third plan is also worthwhile. However, once your Majesty decides, then my reserve personnel for the reserve officials will be seriously insufficient."

"Ye Aiqing, you are quite right." I agreed. "To implement the third plan, two main problems must be solved first. One is the problem of the reserve personnel, and the other is the problem of the monitoring mechanism."

"Well, Your Majesty is wise, it's just that these two points are not easy."

"I also know that it is very difficult, but I can't stop doing it just because of difficulties. I have made up my mind to change my bad habits, but I haven't made up my mind and what method to take."

"Your Majesty, I feel that the current monitoring mechanism is not suitable for this third option." Ye Mengding hesitated and said.

I know that Ye Mengding is not like Wen Tianxiang, Yuan Ji and others who can tell everything without saying anything, so he said with a smile: "Ye Aiqing, I am discussing with you, this is not a palace hall, just say it casually."

Ye Mengding took a sip of tea and said: "Your Majesty, the supervisory censors of our dynasty are composed of six people, and they are divided into six departments and one hundred divisions. Now they are changed to eight departments and one hundred divisions. The grades start from the seventh rank. According to the power of these six people, even The existing departments can’t take care of both. If we want to monitor the whole country, I don’t know how many times this organization needs to be expanded. This is the first; second, officials in our dynasty often say that officials and officials protect each other. They are all inextricably linked, after all, the supervisory censor is also a human being, not a saint, so it will inevitably lead to situations where the supervisory censor platform treats people wrongly, and even becomes a bridge between the important officials in the court to attack each other."

In history, a certain powerful minister often instructed a certain supervisor to impeach a certain minister, but no one could figure out whether the impeachment was true or false.If he encounters a foolish emperor, the minister is likely to be shot and fell to the ground.A hundred years ago, Yue Fei was impeached by the censor ordered by Qin Hui, approved by Emperor Gaozong after reconsideration, and finally died unjustly in the Fengbo Pavilion.

"Ye Aiqing, no matter what method I adopt, the Supervision Department will be reset."

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen should think about this matter carefully after he returns."

Among the ancient supervisory institutions, the most extensive and most famous is the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.I will learn from its strengths, but not copy them, because Jinyiwei has too much power, and they can handle trials and punish prisoners without going through the trial process of formal judicial institutions.

"Well, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long term. Maybe there are better fourth and fifth options. As for the new supervisory department, I plan to be independent of the existing imperial court department and directly hang under the name of the royal family."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Mengding thought for a while, "Your Majesty, what is the relationship between the new supervision department and the Ministry of Punishment?"

"I have thought about this carefully. The new supervisory department is only aimed at the officials of our dynasty, and only has the power of supervision and prosecution, but not the power of punishment. When the supervisory department is established, I also plan to reopen the Nanya."

"Nan Ya? Kaifeng Mansion?"

"It is the Nanya, which is called Kaifeng Mansion among the people. The Supervision Department can file lawsuits against officials from various ministries, courts, courts, and local states, and the trial power is given to Nanya. The relevant officials and laws The formulation is handed over to the Department of Law of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which will form mutual constraints among the three and avoid the problem of the Ministry of Criminal Justice or the local government handling such cases alone."

Nanya plays the same role as today’s courts. The reputation of Kaifeng Mansion was also spread when later generations described Bao Gong, so that people in later generations know that there was a Kaifeng Mansion in the Song Dynasty. As for the institution originally named Nanya, there is no one Got it.

This is somewhat similar to the separation of powers in later generations, but it is only similar.Separation of powers is a political system in which the executive, judicial, and legislative government agencies co-exist, with equal status and mutual checks and balances.The system of feudal society was the centralization of imperial power. At the end of the Song Dynasty, although the expansion of the power of the prime minister and the power of the queen divided the power of the imperial power, so that in the eyes of the officials, the power of the queen was not weaker than the imperial power, but in the eyes of the common people , or more trust in representing the orthodox imperial power.Therefore, it is impossible to fully implement the separation of powers in the later generations, and in such a troubled world, only a strong emperor and a strong government can gather the hearts of the people, and reform internally to fight against Mongolia externally.

Ye Mengding has been in the officialdom for decades, and his understanding of these issues is naturally far better than Yuan Ji's. After listening to it, he quickly fell into deep thought.

I didn't bother him either, and said to Yuan Ji: "Sir, why haven't Linger and the others come back?"

Yuan Ji laughed and said: "Your Majesty, although this Fuzhou Prefecture is not as good as the capital city, it is still a large city with many places of interest and historical sites. It has only been a few hours. They will not be so fast. Your Majesty will not be worried about them. right?"

"Sir, I am indeed a little worried. I wonder if Ji Henlei and others are nearby?"

"Probably not. The minister thinks that if they miss a blow, they will go back to the dark and look for opportunities again, so they are unlikely to show up in public."

"hope so."

Fang Ling, Wen Zhang, led by Lin Ying and Chen Miao, did not return to the Tongle Building until dinner time. The four of them carried large and small bags in their hands in a mess. Wen Zhang shouted loudly when he came back, This shopping is simply harder than practicing.

However, Fang Ling stared, and Wen Zhang quickly changed his attitude, "Although the hard work is hard, it is very worthwhile."

After hearing this, Lin Ying couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although Wenzhang is young, he can see that I dote on Fang Ling, so he naturally dare not offend him easily. Besides, Fang Ling is really well-behaved and light, graceful and graceful like a fairy. There is no malice in playing petty temper. With Fang Ling, everyone will feel relaxed and happy, so an elder like Yuan Ji and a young man like Wen Zhang have a good impression of him, and they all treat him like a princess .

"Xiao Wenzhang, I don't care about you anymore, brother, sister Lin and I are hungry, let's eat."

"Okay, eat, Mr. Ye, you can finish eating here before leaving."

"Yes, young master." Ye Mengding replied respectfully.

Of course, the heavy responsibility of ordering food fell on Fang Ling again, but eating in Tonglelou was not difficult for Fang Ling at all. Fang Ling knew exactly what dishes I like to eat, and Fang Ling would also take care of Yuan Ji, Blue The preference of Yu et al.

Lin Ying saw that I, an elder, was amiable and didn't have that high air, so she slowly let go. After all, I was a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and I started to talk more, and I was no longer as shy as before.

"Brother, the moon is bright tonight. Sister Lin suggested that we go up to the top of Ping Mountain to see it at night."

"My lord, you can see the sea from the sample building in Pingshan." Lin Ying continued.

"Really, then let's go climbing after dinner." I smiled.
