The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 183 Supervision System
The lotus flowers in early summer are in full bloom in the suburban ponds, and they are incredibly beautiful.

The breeze comes slowly, refreshing the heart and mind.

On the outskirts of Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was walking with his hands behind his back, telling Weining a lot of things about the memorials along the way.

Weining listened carefully.

"Your Majesty, I have an immature suggestion. Do you want to listen to it?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

Wei Ning said: "Can a supervision mechanism be established to review the three auxiliary areas in Chang'an and review local officials to determine their regulations for promotion, demotion and demotion?"

Since the Song and Ming dynasties, the state has established a system of inspections in Beijing every three years and inspections outside every five years.

Aimed at supervising whether central and local officials violate laws and disciplines and cause harm to one party, this system is like a knife hanging over the heads of local officials and Beijing officials, which can serve as a deterrent at any time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Weining in surprise and said, "It's a good system. You can consider it. Can you tell me how to implement it?"

Weining thought for a while and said: "How about setting up another government office to audit and verify the performance of officials, and then summarize it and submit it to the emperor for overview?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled: "Not at all."

what?
Weining looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in confusion, just now you said you could consider it, why is it no longer the case now?

"The idea is good and the supervision mechanism is good, but the approach is not good."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty analyzed Weining: "Do you know why from the Qin Dynasty to the present, we have never added too many meaningless official yamen?"

"Every official position is very precious. If an institution is added to the forehead today, another institution will be added tomorrow."

"Then what will happen to the big man's official position? Is it a vegetable market stall? Will it bloat the responsibilities and powers, and will it increase the court's salary expenditure for officials all over the world?"

"If there are too many officials, it won't be valuable to the people below. Favor comes from above. Let the people below know that every official position is awarded to them by me. Let them know how to be grateful. Remember, Origin Official positions are taboo and must not be done like this in the future.”

This was the case in the Song Dynasty. The redundant and bloated bureaucracy allowed the Song Dynasty to raise too many officials who were in vain, and ultimately caused huge trouble to the country.

"That's good." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to Wei Ning with a smile on his face: "It's good to be able to consider the first level."

"I can let the Prime Minister's Office discuss these two inspection systems."

"As for implementation, we cannot set up a separate agency. Every inspection year, we can discuss with Jiu Qing to recommend a group of specialized inspectors to inspect officials all over the world."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty always considered things in such a comprehensive way. Wei Ning nodded and said, "I have learned."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled, and suddenly, his eyes narrowed!
Weining followed his gaze towards the field road outside the village not far away.

Three or five men were ruthlessly snatching a young girl who had just grown hair.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's face gradually darkened, and he walked toward the group of men with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face.

"This is Chang'an, under the emperor's feet, why would you rob civilian girls?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said with a dark face.

One of the tall and thick men pointed at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Who are you? It's your turn to mind your own business...ah! Hiss!"

His fingers were bent at [-] degrees. Wei Ning pinched his fingers and kicked the opponent's knees, causing the opponent to kneel on the ground with a bang.

"Answer me properly when I ask you questions." Weining said.

The men were frightened. They had never seen such a fierce person.

"It is natural to pay back debts!" ​​the man kneeling on the ground said sternly.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at him and said indifferently: "To pay back debts, are you getting money? These are people! Living people!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty always felt that under his governance, although fairness could not be guaranteed for every citizen in the world, such bad things would not happen in Chang'an.

He was holding back his anger.

"If you don't have money to pay back, you'll use the other party's daughter to sell her to a brothel to pay off the debt. Is there a problem?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty twitched his face slightly, his eyes were gloomy, and he said: "Let the child go."

"Okay!" The other party did not bother with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They were obviously wary of Wei Ning who was next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"I will come again tomorrow, and I want to see how you can stop me!"

The man left after saying a few words. It was obvious that there was someone behind him supporting him.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty laughed in anger and said to the poor girl, "Go back quickly."

"Thank you, thank you."

After the girl left, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed feebly and said to Weining: "There are still many injustices in the world."

"The people are still suffering, not like individuals."

"I thought that the prosperous age was peaceful now, but it was peaceful! If you really want to be a good emperor, then let the people live a better life."

"But there are still many people who never regard the people as human beings, and they bully and humiliate them at will."

"This is my fault."

He is not governing this country well enough, far from it.

Wei Ning said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, please do not belittle yourself. This is not your Majesty's fault, but the fault of the officials."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gritted his teeth and said: "I am a useless good person!"

"As you said, the supervisory system must be established early. There are so many injustices in the three auxiliary areas of Chang'an. What about the people far away? Are they still considered individuals in the eyes of the powerful? What else? Can you speak of dignity?"

An emperor could say such words 2000 years ago. Weining was deeply impressed.

Which emperor can really make decisions for the people?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty squinted his eyes and said expressionlessly: "I want to see who they will bring to threaten me tomorrow!"

Wei Ning: "..."

These villains are so stubborn. They dare to say such arrogant words in front of the emperor. They are really tired of living.

However, beneath the glory of the empire, there is still a lot of shameful darkness.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could go deep into the people, find out these injustices, and truly consider the people. No matter what, his actions are undoubtedly great!
He is the emperor, and he should be concerned about national and diplomatic matters!
"I have raised a group of officials who have nothing to do with their bodies. They are worse than cows. Cows know how to move when I whip them, but they can't even move!"

Wei Ning said: "As for the selection of officials, human society will always select some poor relatives to join the official class."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded with deep understanding: "If the investigation is carried out for a long time, various situations such as forming parties for personal gain and dictatorship of foreign relatives will appear. If we do not prevent the slightest change, sooner or later the Han Dynasty will be destroyed."

I have to say that he sees the problem accurately. In the next hundred years, even the Han Dynasty will not be able to escape the dictatorship of foreign relatives and the formation of cliques for personal gain.

These people can even decide who owns the throne, and can even poison the emperor and so on!

After entering Chang'an City from the suburbs, Wei Ning asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to wait for a while while he went to buy pancakes from a pancake shop nearby.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at this filial child with fondness in his eyes with his hands behind his back.

not far away.

Dongfang Shuo just wanted to go up and greet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but was stopped by Sang Hongyang.

"Master Dongfang, please wait a moment."

"Did you find anything?"

"Your Majesty, of course I found it."

Sang Hongyang whispered: "What does it look like when you look at His Majesty?"

Dongfang Shuo blurted out: "The eyes of a loving father, haha, I think he is the eldest son... eh."

Geek!

Dongfang Shuo was stunned. He followed Emperor Wu of Han's gaze and saw Lord Wei holding two pieces of hot pancakes and walking towards Emperor Wu of Han with a smile.
