Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 69

The time for the emperor and ministers to discuss major issues together.

When Zhenguan just started, Li Shimin usually had to go to court early every day. At that time, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were very miserable. They got up in the early hours of the morning every morning, and followed them into the palace in a carriage with lanterns.

The most speechless thing is that after the court attendance, officials can only sit and eat lunch under the eaves and verandas of the palace, which is called "corridor eating".

Fortunately, in the later period of Zhenguan, Li Shimin finally made a change. Officials below the third rank (not including the third rank) attended the court on the first and fifth days of each month, while senior officials above the third rank also attended the court on the ninth day.

Of course, if there is a big event, then the pilgrimage will still start early.

This time the earth dragon turned over, Li Shimin had to go to the court almost every day, and today a group of officials, jointly with several censors, will make a statement to Li You. The decree asked Li You to apologize to the people of Datang, and asked Li You to commit suicide.

Because suicide is the last dignity of the Li family royal family.

"Do you really want Li You to die?"

Before the visit, in Yin Hongzhi's mansion, looking at the triumphant Yan Hongxin in front of him, Yin Hongzhi asked slightly.

"What's the matter. You feel distressed, because Li You is your own nephew, but brother-in-law, don't forget that you asked our brother to bring your nephew to harm.

It hurts now, don't you think it's ridiculous? "

"My heart aches. Ben Zhongcheng doesn't have his surname Li, and Ben Zhongcheng and Li have a mortal feud. It's just that you make such a big deal out of it. Have you ever thought that if you fail this time, you will be killed?" What are you facing?"

Yin Hongzhi shook his head and said, "It's not easy for Zhongcheng to keep you, don't you think about living a good life at all?"

"Hmph!" Yan Hongxin sneered: "After all, I don't want to protect your nephew, sorry. You will be safe this time, and you will never fail. Your nephew is dead.

As long as he dies, my younger brother Hong Liang's revenge will be avenged, and then I can rest in peace even if I die! "

"There is no cure.!" Yin Hongzhi snorted coldly, and walked out of Yan Hongxin's room. Some people would think that an uncle is still an uncle, and blood is thicker than water. When Yin Hongzhi knew that his nephew was going to be attacked Sometimes, I will still sympathize with one or two.

In fact, this is overthinking. What Yin Hongzhi was angry about was not that Li You was going to be killed by others. What he was angry about was that Li You did not directly confront Li Shimin. Li Shimin would not have tasted the deepest pain.

There is no father and son killing each other, this is what makes Yin Hongzhi feel the most angry. He doesn't like Yan Hongxin, he only knows how to kill and pay for life. You are an idiot, you must know that the art of revenge is very high, and the brothers and sisters of the Yan family are very disappointing.

After walking out of the house and getting into the carriage, Yin Hongzhi went to the palace, looked at the black city of Chang'an outside the window of the carriage, Yin Hongzhi frowned, no one knew what his frown meant.

Yinshi is three o'clock in the morning, and this time is the time for ministers to wake up. It is about a quarter of Yinshi, and the ministers arrive at Danfeng Gate to wait. At this time, the ministers will also exchange pleasantries.

If there is something to eat, you can eat something, and when the drum on the Danfeng Gate rings, the ministers will line up; when the bell rings around 5 o'clock in the morning, the palace gate will open.

Hundreds of officials entered one by one, and formed a team in the square after entering the Tai Chi Palace.

If any of the officials coughs, spit or walks unsteadily, they will be recorded by the censor in charge of the picket, and they will be dealt with.

There was no dynasty behind the kneeling ceremony in the Tang Dynasty, and all officials performed one kneeling and three kowtows.Only officials of the fourth grade or above have the opportunity to have a dialogue with the emperor. Ministers report government affairs to the emperor, and the emperor asks questions or gives answers.

There were no such customs in the Tang Dynasty.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Li Shimin officially went to court, and all the officials had an audience, and then bowed and saluted and shouted long live!

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin immediately asked to what extent the disaster rescue of Dilong turned over is now. Fang Xuanling immediately bowed and answered, telling Li Shimin that the disaster caused by Dilong turned over is already moving in a good direction.

The Disaster Relief Envoy served by Changsun Wuji has arrived in the affected area and has carried Li Shimin's will down. A large amount of food has been transported to the disaster area, and the Tai Medical Office has also started to prevent and control the plague.

Hopefully better news will come soon.

Hearing this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as the earth dragon can turn over this time, then Li Shimin will really be thankful, otherwise he will have to make himself a crime, then what face does he have as an emperor? .

"Okay!" Li Shimin nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction moderately, but Li Shimin was not happy for a long time. At this time, suddenly a censor from Yushitai came out from among the officials.

"Your Majesty, the minister Wang Xingzuo has something to report."

Li Shimin looked at the censor and frowned slightly, because he didn't know what the censor of Yushitai was going to do when he ran out at this time. When people are in the same hatred, if someone does these bad things, it is not good.

Many people don't know about Yushitai. Let me introduce the Jian (Supervision) Yuan in "Celebrating More Than Years". Everyone should know that the Jian (Supervisory) Yuan has eight divisions (departments), and one is responsible for supervising all officials in Beijing. , the second division is responsible for intelligence analysis, the third division is responsible for targeted scientific research (specializing in the study of weapons, poisons and other spy warfare equipment), and the fourth division is responsible for monitoring the information of overseas officials and enemy countries.The fifth branch is a heavy-duty special forces unit known as the Black Cavalry, which frightens the enemy, the sixth branch is responsible for assassination, the seventh branch is responsible for torture (note the wording), and the eighth branch is responsible for public opinion supervision.

It can be said that it shocked Kyoto.

However, the Yushitai of the Tang Dynasty is no different from the Jian (Supervision) Court in "Celebrating More Than Years".

Although Yushitai has only three courts, it also has eight powers.

Let’s talk about the most powerful ones. The first is "push prison litigation". Yushitai can supervise any judicial case, including cases tried by the emperor himself, and has its own prison, which can be both an athlete and a referee.

The reason why the emperor dared to trust Yushitai so much was because the selection and appointment of Yushitai's staff was very strict, and those who could be shortlisted were required to have the spirit of "firmness, vigor and perseverance". In order to avoid being influenced by the outside world, The junior selection is directly recommended by the prime minister and appointed by the emperor without going through the official department.

The second is "impeachment and rectification", Yushitai can supervise any official, which means that Yushitai has a great say in the promotion and dismissal of officials. In fact, according to the policy at that time, Yushitai even Examinations at all levels can be directly supervised (influenced), so "a hundred companies are afraid."

The third economic supervision, Yushitai has the power to supervise any economic behavior in the whole country, such as government fiscal and tax audit, transportation and storage supervision, market economy supervision and so on.

The fourth is the supervision of speech. The speech here includes the emperor and officials in the court, as well as traffickers and pawns in the countryside. No matter who they are, Yushitai treats them equally.

Fifth, local supervision, local supervision generally adopts double inspection and three random inspections. Double inspection refers to the coexistence of routine inspections and random spot inspections. (The referee is off the playground, if there is no restriction, there will be big trouble)
The most powerful of these is the eighth direct performance. The officials of Yushitai can directly go to the heaven to listen to it, without being restricted by any officials. This article seems inconspicuous, but it is of great significance.We often see in film and television dramas that a certain official's accusation against a certain minister has been withheld.Once there is the power to directly submit a letter to the emperor, no one can deduct the book midway, thus avoiding the possibility of cover-up by upper-level officials.

Therefore, if the censor of Yushitai plays a role, it will be no small matter, which is why Li Shimin frowned.
