Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 451 Supervision Office

"Drive!" There was a crisp sound of horseshoes on the long street, and Lin Chuan in military uniform ran towards the direction of the imperial city surrounded by several black armored cavalry.

After a while, Lin Chuan and his party arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

The entire imperial city is heavily guarded, guarded by the elite of the Tenth Banner Regiment of the Internal Guard, who are directly under the command of Ninth Prince Long Han.

"The imperial city is important! Come and stop!" Seeing the cavalry rushing, the gate officer guarding the imperial city made gestures from a distance and raised his voice to warn.

"Woo—" Lin Chuan reined in his horse, took out his iron military badge from his pocket, and threw it to the city gate officer: "I'm here in the name of Your Highness, and please inform me."

The officer at the city gate inspected Lin Chuan's military badge carefully, then handed it back to Lin Chuan with both hands and said, "General Lin, Your Highness has given your orders. You can go in directly when you come, without notification."

Lin Chuan got off his horse and threw the reins to Li Qiye, a guard officer, and said: "You wait here, I will go back." After speaking, he strode towards the imperial city.

This is the second time Lin Chuan has entered the imperial city. Compared to the first time he led troops and horses to attack, this time it is the Ninth Prince Long Han who wants to see him.

There are countless palaces and pavilions in the imperial city, and there are countless gardens and jungles. The last time I came here in a hurry, I didn’t see it clearly. This time when Lin Chuan came to see the magnificent palaces in the daytime, he couldn’t help but secretly stunned. There are so many palaces to be built. The pavilion does not know how much manpower and material resources it will cost.

Many palaces and pavilions were burned in the flames of war, leaving a pile of ruins. Those thick beams that were completely burned can vaguely remind people of its once glorious appearance, which is embarrassing.

The entire imperial city was heavily guarded, with almost three steps for one post and five steps for one sentry. As far as the eye could see, they were all soldiers in solid clothes. Lin Chuan was interrogated several times when he walked hundreds of meters forward, which made Lin Chuan very upset. Speechless.

Although the Ninth Prince Long Han has temporarily controlled the Wangjing area, the surrounding provinces are still not peaceful. The army under Long Han's command is fighting with the remnants of the other princes, so Long Han pays special attention to his own safety.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, Lin Chuan arrived at the Dragon Palace where Long Han lived, and the security here was even stricter.

"General, please put the saber here, and we will keep it for you." At the entrance of the palace, the guard stopped Lin Chuan's way, pointed to Lin Chuan's saber and said respectfully.

Lin Chuan had no choice but to untie his saber and hand it to the guard at the gate of the palace, and then, led by a maid, walked into the Dragon Palace where Long Han lived.

The entire Shenlong Hall is divided into four parts: the front hall, the back hall, the left hall, and the right hall. It covers an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters, which is simple and empty.

Hearing Lin Chuan's footsteps, Long Han, who was buried in a pile of memorials, raised his head with a smile on his face: "Brother, you are here."

"The last general, Lin Chuan, pays his respects to His Highness." Although Long Han called him his elder brother, Lin Chuan did not dare to usurp him.

If he called Long Han his second younger brother as before, then he would appear a little arrogant.

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Long Han smiled and shook his head helplessly. Although he reminded Lin Chuan several times that he didn't have to be so restrained in private, Lin Chuan has always abided by the way of monarch and minister, which made Long Han very helpless.

"Your Highness, I don't know why you summoned me?" Lin Chuan was the first to ask when the two parties sat down.

Now the order of the entire Wangjing has been stabilized, all levels of government offices have begun to operate normally, and the troops who are fighting abroad are victorious. The governors and generals of all provinces have expressed their support for the Ninth Prince Long Han. Lin Chuan really can't think of Long Han. Han asked himself what's the matter.

Long Han said with a smile: "Is it important to chat?"

Lin Chuan shook his head. Although Long Han is about to become the emperor of the Far East Dynasty, he is not serious in front of him, and he is still the same as before.

"Okay, I won't be a secret anymore. This time I am looking for you, and I really need your help with something."

"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, just ask."

Long Han handed a list to Lin Chuan and said: "Brother, you are the person I trust most now, I need your help, these nobles are not only corrupt and accepting bribes, but also oppose me as emperor, I need you to clean them up. "

Now Long Han is about to become the new emperor, but not all the nobles support Long Han as emperor. Long Han's talent makes these nobles very afraid. They are afraid that Long Han will weaken the rights of their nobles after becoming emperor, so secretly strongly obstructed.

And these nobles are some powerful nobles. Although Long Han knew that they opposed him, he couldn't punish them explicitly, so he could only leave the matter to Lin Chuan.

"In what name?" Lin Chuan asked.

Lin Chuan has never had a good impression of those hypocritical nobles. They are like cancers of the Far Eastern Dynasty, sucking up the blood of the Far Eastern Dynasty and making the dynasty worse day by day. At the beginning, the Lin family was framed by these nobles and wiped out. , Lin Chuan couldn't wait.

Long Han: "I'm going to set up a supervisory office, and you will be the chief. The supervisory office will be directly responsible to me, with the same status as the military hall and the cabinet."

Hearing what Long Han said, Lin Chuan took a breath, never expecting that Long Han would have such courage.

In the 300 years since the founding of the dynasty, the cabinet and the military hall have always been in charge of military and political power respectively, and then directly responsible to the emperor.

The founding emperor's idea of ​​setting up the military hall and the cabinet was also to balance each other, but in fact the power of the cabinet has always been above the military hall, because the status of soldiers in peacetime is very low.

Although the military hall still controls and controls the military, it cannot compete with the cabinet at all, let alone contain it. The result is that the cabinet is dominated by one family, and officials at all levels of the cabinet without containment are corrupted in a corrupt way. The reason for the rapid decline of the dynasty.

The role of setting up the Supervision Office is self-evident, mainly to balance the balance of power between the military hall and the cabinet, and prevent one family from dominating.

"What is the main task of our Supervision Office?" Lin Chuan asked.

Long Han replied: "Your task is to punish corruption and remove those noble moths from officials."

"Whether it's the emperor's relatives, or princes and marquises, as long as they are corrupt and dereliction of duty, your supervisory office has the right to kill first and then sue."

Long Han has given the Office of Supervision sufficient power, it can be said that it has already surpassed the cabinet and the military hall.

Seeing Lin Chuan's doubts, Long Han continued to add: "The personnel of the Supervision Office are selected by you. If you need money, you can directly ask me for it. No matter what, I need the Supervision Office to operate and play a role as soon as possible. You can do it." ?"

"Yes." Lin Chuan replied without hesitation.

"As expected of my good brother." Seeing that Lin Chuan agreed, Long Han happily patted him on the shoulder: "You see, I'm hungry too. Let's go and have dinner together. Let's chat while eating."

Lin Chuan didn't leave the imperial city until night. During the day, he discussed with Long Han the various details of the establishment of the Supervision Office, the scope of its authority, and some exemptions.
