Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 304 System is System

Yushitai is doing these things.The Yushi system can be regarded as the highest supervision, impeachment and law enforcement agency in the Song Dynasty. The chief of Yushitai is Yushi Zhongcheng and Yushi Dafu, and there are deputy capital Yushi and Qiandu Yushi under it.According to the local jurisdiction, the supervisory censor was set up to patrol the prefectures and counties.Specializes in the investigation and impeachment of officials.

After Ye Chen had a detailed understanding of the institutions and systems of the Great Song Yushi system, he believed that if this system could truly function effectively, it would be extremely complete and effective.Even if it is not much worse than the post-century committee system.It is a very special institution.But in fact, a system is a system, and it is another matter to actually operate it.Yushitai often became a tool for the emperor or powerful ministers to control the court.When a law enforcement agency becomes a private tool, it naturally loses its own responsibility and effectiveness.

In this case, can the above law enforcement agencies and departments effectively monitor officials?It is an exaggeration to say that there is almost no supervision system for officials. It would be strange if there were not a large number of corrupt officials appearing over time!

For a long time, the court of the Song Dynasty relied on a certain official for the incident, and then imposed cruel punishments on him. This has the effect of killing one and others, but the timeliness is too poor. Corrupt officials in various places restrain themselves for a period of time, and then continue to do what they should do How to do it.Fundamentally, the problem is still not solved.

Therefore, the three requests made by Ye Chen actually have two meanings in simple terms. One is to make the Huaxia Weifu an independent department directly managed by the emperor and has no relationship with the imperial court.The second is to give Huaxia Weifu the power to supervise all officials in the world.This is the real possession of power comparable to the post-Century Committee.

In fact, apart from these two meanings, Ye Chen also expressed an implicit hint to Zhao Kuangyin, that is, he wants to be a lone minister who offends the world's officials and would rather stand against all officials.

There is a prerequisite for such a lonely minister, and that is the absolute trust of the emperor in you.If there was no assassination incident yesterday, and no coincidence, Ye Chen risked his life for the life-saving grace of the emperor.Ye Chen still didn't dare to make these three requests.

Ye Chen saw that Zhao Kuangyin's face was changing, and he was still thinking, so he analyzed the fact that the current court's supervision system for officials was in vain.As the founder of the country, Zhao Kuangyin naturally had no shortage of wisdom and insight. Although it was the first time he had heard of the powers that Ye Chen had given to the Huaxia Weifu, he understood the three meanings Ye Chen wanted to express when he thought about it. Thinking about it, I understand the great benefits of such an approach to the Song Dynasty's governance of the country and politics.

However, although Zhao Kuangyin trusted Ye Chen, he was still suspicious like the emperors of all dynasties. He couldn't help but habitually think about Ye Chen's purpose of doing this, or what would be beneficial to Ye Chen personally.The final result is that Ye Chen will have the status and power he has given him, and he may have a reputation that lasts forever, but he will definitely not have fame.But if it was another emperor, Ye Chen would become a victim if he was not careful, and he would end up in a very miserable end.

As for Ye Chen's first request, it was mentioned that the salary of the owner of the Huaxia Weifu and all the funds of the mansion were directly drawn from the emperor's internal treasury.This is just to express a meaning. Both Zhao Kuangyin and Ye Chen knew that with the business currently controlled by the Huaxia Weifu, the money earned every year would only be given to Zhao Kuangyin's internal treasury. A lot of money would not be used at all. But the internal treasury paid a penny to the Huaxia Weifu.

Before Ye Chen left the palace, he told Zhao Kuangyin that there might be a noble person in the harem who was a nail in the church.If this happened before yesterday's assassination, it would be inconvenient for Ye Chen to tell Zhao Kuangyin.But now with Zhao Kuangyin's trust in him, it's different.

Ye Chen left the palace with a birdcage refreshed, and returned home under the guard of a hundred black cavalry. He had a conversation with Zhao Kuangyin today and gained a lot.

First, when he was determined to die yesterday, Zhao Kuangyin's promise was repeated again today.You must know that the so-called golden words refer to what the emperor said.This promise is the decree.Sometimes it is more useful than holding an army of [-].Second, although Zhao Kuangyin did not agree to his last three requests on the spot, Ye Chen knew that as an emperor who wanted to be a wise emperor through the ages, he would never be able to resist this temptation, so agreeing to Ye Chen's three requests was nothing more than Sooner or later.Thirdly, he has been worried that the most secretive and high-status nail of the Holy Church in the palace might attack Zhao Kuangyin at any time. Generally speaking, it is not as easy as in the original history to kill Zhao Kuangyin.

After Ye Chen left, Zhang Zhan, the commander of martial arts, came in and said, "Officials! Han Hu sent news that the gold, silver and jewels seized from the bandits in Sichuan and Shu, Xiangfuhou himself did not take any money, and he did not take any money." It is said that the five hundred black cavalry were escorted by the Huaxia Wei Mansion because they did not recognize their relatives, and it is impossible for anyone to touch those gold, silver and jewels from their hands."

Zhao Kuangyin was even more delighted when he heard this, and said: "Ye Chen has a top-notch means of making money, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to the money, and their Huaxia Weifu is not short of money. Therefore, there is no need to doubt Ye Chen in terms of property in the future. "

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly remembered something, stared at Zhang Zhan's eyes and said, "Zhang Zhan! I remember Chen Qingping, the supervisor who followed Cao Bin some time ago, was the candidate you recommended to me!"

Zhang Zhan fell to his knees with a thud, his face was pale, and he didn't dare to call the official, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty! I really didn't know that Chen Qingping was a traitor of the Maitreya sect. He came to me at that time and said he wanted to go out. Walking around, I want to be the supervisor of the army. I think that he is usually safe and well-behaved, and I also know that he has read some military books, and he can be regarded as a good soldier. I appointed him as Duke Cao's military supervisor. I deserve death, I deserve death, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Kuangyin remembered that Zhang Zhan was after all his servant before he became emperor, and even before he made his fortune in the army of the previous dynasty. He had followed him since he was a boy for more than 30 years, so he could not be a Maitreya disciple.

But Zhao Kuangyin's complexion didn't look much better, and he said lightly: "Chen Qingping gave you a lot of good things!"

Zhang Zhan's face became even more panicked, and he didn't dare to explain anymore. He just kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty deserves to die. Your Majesty please punish me."

Zhao Kuangyin was just guessing in his heart, but seeing Zhang Zhan's reaction at this time, he couldn't help but think that he really took the things, and felt more and more disappointed.He thought of Zhao Pu, what a smart and shrewd person, who was so ambitious and heroic back then, and he relied on him as his confidant to create a great cause for the future.Also, Zhang Zhan is the person closest to him, and he usually doesn't have less rewards. These two people have high status, so why can't they withstand the temptation of these yellow and white things, and they are willing to degenerate?What kind of monster is this money?Why can they bow down, fall for it, even overturn their cars and capsize their boats, even if they lose their heads?

Zhang Zhan can be regarded as the person he cares most, how could he go to collect money behind his back and ignore the laws and regulations.

"This money is really a heinous devil!" Zhao Kuangyin muttered to himself, thinking of Ye Chen, and comparing each other, he admired and liked Ye Chen more and more in his heart.

"Zhang Zhan, you don't use your brain when you do things. If you are really short of money, you can tell me, but you must not bend the law for personal gain for money. Fortunately, Mr. Cao was rescued by Ye Chen this time, otherwise you are really He deserves to die." Zhao Kuangyin said rather resentfully.

Zhang Zhan said quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy. I will never dare again."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Okay! You and Wang Jien are required to do this cleansing of the harem. I won't talk about what to do. Go down and discuss it with Wang Jien yourself!"

Zhang Zhan respectfully said yes, Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand, and Zhang Zhan quietly backed out.

At the same time, the Harem Flower Hall.

Madam Huarui was not informed of the assassination incident arranged by the Maitreya Sect.But after learning about the assassination of the emperor yesterday, Mrs. Huarui didn't have hidden anger in her heart, only a deep sense of uneasiness.

She is an orphan adopted by Lou Yanming, and Lou Yanming is like a father in her heart, so she has always been extremely loyal to Lou Yanming, and has never had the slightest disagreement, even if she dies for Lou Yanming, she will not die. hesitate.

Lou Yanming taught her the secret technique of joy in Buddhism since she was a child. Later, under Lou Yanming's ingenious arrangement, when she was 14 years old, her stunning beauty was discovered by the Holy Church, and then she became a member of the Holy Church. Tang she also practiced a special skill to please men.It was only on the basis of her stunning beauty that she possessed the special aura of a man who is now so full of body and every move can fascinate him.

Zhang Jiye escaped from the palace and may be trapped in Kaifeng City, which made Mrs. Huarui restless.

You must know that if Zhang Jiye is captured alive, if her identity is leaked out of her mouth, whether it is the identity of the Holy Church or the identity of the Maitreya Sect, she is doomed to die a miserable death.Even though Zhao Kuangyin liked her no matter how much, this emperor was not an ordinary emperor after all. He was a talented and bold founding emperor who would definitely kill her in the end.

Thinking of this, he dismissed all the maids and eunuchs, leaving only Qiaolan, his personal maid who followed him when he was in Houshu Kingdom.

Qiaolan saw Mrs. Huarui's face was a bit ugly, she had some guesses in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the gift for Ye Chen has already been delivered, it's not as good as the queen, but it's much more expensive than other concubines. It will make people think too much. Hmm... The cleansing in the palace will not affect the people in our church. Even if their identities are really exposed, they will commit suicide immediately. Take a step back and say that someone has been arrested, they I don’t even know the identity of the empress.”

Mrs. Huarui said: "That's good. It's just that Zhang Jiye hinted at me a few days ago and already knew my identity. At that time, I promised him a lot of benefits, so he promised not to reveal my identity. Looking for opportunities to kill people these days, I don’t think this dog thief is actually a member of the Maitreya Sect.”
