The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 840 Imperial Censor Zhao Gao [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

Han Fei could only watch An Qisheng's receding back.

Now the entire Judicial Supervisory Office is under the surveillance of the Yulin Guards.

Even the 3,000 law-enforcement troops originally under the control of the Supreme Court were taken over by the Internal Affairs Commissioner Meng Tian.

This meant that he could no longer send any news to the outside world.

This was also the final warning from Yan Yan and An Qisheng to him. If he dared to have other thoughts, not only would Wei Zhuang die, but he would also surely die.

"I can't get out!" Zi Nu also came to Han Fei and shook her head.

She just wanted to leave the Judicial Supervisor's Mansion, but was stopped by the Yulin Guards before she could go out. She wanted to break out, but suddenly she felt a terrifying aura locking her down. As expected, it was a terrifying martial arts master.

Apart from the Jinyiwei, the only possibility is that they are masters from the Prime Minister's Mansion!

"That's it!" Han Fei finally gave up.

Bingzhou is not South Korea, and Bingzhou’s strength is far beyond that of South Korea.

What they can do in South Korea is tantamount to seeking death in Bingzhou.

Bingzhou is the Bingzhou of the people of Bingzhou, and it is also the last retreat left for the various schools of thought in the trend of unifying the world.

Therefore, the entire Bingzhou is the last fertile land created by the joint efforts of various Chinese schools of thought. Anyone who dares to mess around in Bingzhou will have trouble with the various schools of thought.

Not to mention Han Fei, even if the leaders of Taoism, Confucianism and Mohism wanted to rescue Wei Zhuang in Bingzhou, it would be impossible to do it.

"It is my duty, please don't make things difficult for us recently!"

Finally, the commander of the Yulin Guard walked into the residence of the Chief Justice.

All the officials of the Judicial and Surveillance Commissioner's Office nodded silently. They had suffered a completely unprovoked disaster.

Wei Zhuang had nothing to do with them, and at most it was Han Fei's own private matter, but it implicated them.

Now the office of the Chief Justice has been taken over by the Yulin Guard. All of them, depending on their positions, have one or several Yulin Lang following and monitoring them.

Looking at the distant looks from all his colleagues and subordinates, Han Fei finally came to his senses.

Bingzhou is really going to abandon him.

If he dares to continue taking any action, Bingzhou will no longer care about the old friendship.

Stripping him of his control over the Judicial and Surveillance Commissioners' Office was only a warning to him, and also a way of telling him that Bingzhou could not function without him.

At the next door Supreme Court, Zhao Gao was also somewhat angry and helpless. The Judicial Commissioner's Office was one of the subordinate agencies of the Supreme Court. The Imperial Guards monitored the Judicial Commissioner's Office, which was also a warning to the Supreme Court.

What's more, the Supreme Court was the only government office in Bingzhou that had an army besides the Imperial Court and the Imperial Secretariat. Now even the Guardian Army had been taken over by the Imperial Secretariat.

This is equivalent to weakening the power of their Supreme Court.

"Han Fei, oh Han Fei, you are truly a sinner in the Supreme Court!" Zhao Gao cursed angrily.

The Supreme Court with or without military power is completely two different government offices.

The Supreme Court, which had military power, could sometimes even ignore the Prime Minister's Office and be independent of the Nine Ministers.

The Supreme Court, which had no military power, dared not speak loudly.

"I hope that His Majesty and the Prime Minister are just trying to stop us temporarily!"

Zhao Gao sighed. This incident was not just a warning to Han Fei. It could only be said that Han Fei happened to be in this situation at the right time.

Bingzhou had been established for many years, and many people had begun to lose their awe of the power in their hands.

Your Majesty and the Prime Minister's Office may just be using Han Fei's case to warn the old men in Bingzhou, so that everyone will remember where the power in their hands comes from.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao did not take much action. He had not been in Bingzhou for long and was very clear about his position, so he was not afraid of being investigated.

"Sir, the Prime Minister is here!"

Just when Zhao Gao was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, An Qisheng went out, turned left, and came to the Supreme Court.

"Please come in!" Zhao Gao didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and hurried out of the room holding his crown and rushed to the gate of the mansion. Looking at Zhao Gao's disheveled clothes, An Qisheng frowned, but said nothing.

"I didn't know that the Prime Minister was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you!" Zhao Gao bowed and said.

"Zhao Gao, accept the order!" An Qisheng took out a red memorial from his arms.

"Zhao Gao, accept the order!" Zhao Gao bowed hurriedly.

"In compliance with the order of Emperor Xuanwu, I promote Zhao Gao, the Chief Justice, to the position of Acting Chief Justice, and order him to the Censorate to monitor the entire country..."

An Qisheng read out the contents of the imperial edict word for word.

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment. The Censorate was not among the Nine Ministers. It was even on par with the Prime Minister's Office and the Guardian's Office. It was a supervisory agency of Bingzhou and could supervise all officials in Bingzhou.

This is an extremely noble and important position, and has always been held by Yu Qing, the number one elder in Bingzhou.

However, Yu Qing has grown old in recent years, and most of the time the supervision has been carried out by the Deputy Censor.

"I accept the order. Long live Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao stood up to accept the order.

"Mr. Prime Minister, what does His Majesty mean?" Zhao Gao still asked his doubts.

Does this mean that Yu Qing is going to retire completely?
But even if Yu Qing retired, this position would not be his turn as a newcomer.

"Your Majesty is going to march eastward!" An Qisheng did not hide it.

They all saw what Zhao Gao did after he entered Bingzhou. He could be said to be a role model for all Bingzhou officials.

Therefore, after Yu Qing stepped down, he took the initiative to recommend Zhao Gao to serve as the Imperial Censor.

Or in other words, in the entire Bingzhou, only Zhao Gao would remember to visit Yu Qing and learn from him during his spare time.

"I understand. Thank you for your advice!" Zhao Gao thanked him again.

The investment of the past finally paid off.

As for why it was him and why a Censor was suddenly replaced, Zhao Gao also knew the reason.

When the army sets out, the first thing it lacks is money!

Bingzhou is no longer the barefoot state it once was, and is no longer brave enough to risk all its wealth to go to war.

Now that Bingzhou is going to war abroad, the first thing to do is to ensure the stability of the lives of the people at home, rather than fighting back to the time before the founding of the country.

Therefore, the purpose of letting him sit in this position is to thoroughly investigate those Bingzhou elders who have enriched themselves over the years.

In addition to Yu Qing's recommendation, another reason is that Zhao Gao is an outsider and his only backer is Yan Yan. He is a knife in Yan Yan's hand and a vicious dog under his command.

He did this without any scruples.

"The Jinyiwei will fully cooperate with Lord Zhao!" An Qisheng continued.

Zhao Gao nodded and became more clear about what to do.

Although the Censorate can monitor all officials, it does not have strong law enforcers.

Now that An Qisheng said that the Jinyiwei would cooperate, he was telling him that when he ran into trouble, he could mobilize the Jinyiwei and execute first and report later!

After Anqisheng left, Zhao Gao's eyes turned cold.

He did things that offended people, which meant that he had to completely draw a line between himself and all the officials in Bingzhou.

But the good thing is that he will become the person most trusted by His Majesty.

"Your Majesty is so cruel!" Zhao Gao sighed.

Bingzhou lacked military funds and could recruit troops from anywhere, but Yan Yan chose to target the corrupt officials in Bingzhou.

In this way, not only can military funds be saved, but also the hearts of the people can be won.
