Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 133 Establishing Jinyiwei

Under the bow of the minister, Zhang Ming raised his head from the entrance of the main hall and walked to the middle position.

Seeing His Majesty sitting down, Yang Biao stood up first. Since Wang Yun was dismissed from office, he has become the head of all officials.

"Your Majesty heard that the day before yesterday, His Majesty traveled to Dongxiang in disguise to visit the people, but was assassinated in Dongxiang Township Governor's Mansion. This is the dereliction of duty of the ministers and others."

"Your Majesty is a man of gold, even if you need to travel to visit the people in the countryside, you should travel in a royal chariot instead of just bringing a few guards with you. This kind of behavior is too dangerous." Yang Biao said with a bow.

As early as yesterday, Yang Biao had already visited the palace, and went back when he saw that His Majesty was fine.

Yang Biao is not a rotten scholar, but he is just an old and frail old man. Even when he travels daily, he will bring a large number of guards with him. He doesn't dare to trust him. Chang'an City is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.

"Doctor Yang's words are reasonable, but if I ride in a royal chariot, how can I find out the filthy behavior in the countryside?"

Jing Zhaoyin Sima Fang stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is the duty of the ministers. As the king of a country, how can trifles in the countryside bother His Majesty to visit in person?"

"So it was also your responsibility that I was assassinated in Chang'an Chengdong Township Governor's Mansion?" Zhang Ming said angrily.

Sima Fang was a bit careless. Logically speaking, Chang'an Ling was his subordinate. It was not wrong for him to say a few words for his subordinates, but he didn't expect His Majesty to quickly bring this matter to him, tainting it with the assassination of the emperor. Then Sima Fang was right and couldn't tell.

Sima Fang retreated silently, he didn't need to delay himself because of the Chang'an order.

Unlike Sima Fang, Yang Biao actually agreed with His Majesty's visit to the people. In his opinion, if one wants to become a wise king, one must understand the people.

"Your Majesty, I just hope that when your Majesty travels next time, he can make arrangements in advance to prevent the situation that happened the day before yesterday. Although Chang'an City has settled down now, the environment in the city is not optimistic. There are many bandits everywhere. Even There are also refugees mixed into the city."

After the crisis in Chang'an City was lifted, refugees from outside the city also began to pour into Chang'an City. Faced with this situation, Chang'an Order didn't care at all, but most of these refugees went to Xixiang.

"Why didn't the Chang'an Order deal with it?"

The original Chang'an Ling was already in Ting Wei's prison, so facing His Majesty's question, all the officials looked at each other and did not stand up to answer.

"Your Majesty, I have reminded Chang'an Ling in private, but he was indulging in wine and sex and didn't take it seriously." Sima Fang said.

After Chang'an won the first battle, the refugees who lingered near Chang'an felt the power of the court, especially when they heard that the court had distributed food to the people, so they took the opportunity to sneak into the city.

After the war ended, the Northern Army withdrew its daily patrol team, so the originally very orderly Chang'an City began to become chaotic again, which made the people of Chang'an City miss the days of martial law.

"I thought that the Chang'an order was just indulging my children to do evil and harm the countryside. I didn't expect him to be so lazy and useless. No wonder the son he cultivated is as virtuous as his father."

Regarding the matter of Chang'an Order, Zhang Ming already felt that something was wrong. When he first went abroad in micro-service, he encountered more than a dozen robberies in one afternoon, and even formed a bandit organization in Xixiang area, but none of these Chang'an Orders were dealt with. It was not until the end of the Battle of Chang'an that Zhi Jinwu cleared out the robber organization entrenched in Xixiang.

The formation of this kind of robber organization cannot be completed in a day or two, but even so, the Chang'an Order did not take any action, not even reporting to the court.

As the capital city, Chang'an City can provide a template for other counties with its governance, so governing Chang'an City well will be one of Zhang Ming's important goals.

"Let's not talk about the Chang'an order. When I went to Dongxiang this time, I saw thieves robbing the Li family's gold. Although there is clear evidence that this matter was done by the mayor of Dongxiang, as far as I know, it is not the case. It’s just that this happened in Dongxiang? Jing Zhaoyin, can you give me an explanation?” Zhang Ming said.

There are reasons for this incident in Dongxiang, but in fact, gold robbery happened in the whole Chang'an City, and even in the Lifang District outside Chang'an City.

Jing Zhaoyin Sima Fang naturally knew about this matter, and he was also very troubled. Since His Majesty issued military rewards, the incidents of thieves have become more frequent than before. After all, gold can really seduce everyone's thieves, so it breeds more of thieves.

In the past, gold would only exist in the hands of aristocratic families, and even merchants seldom stocked gold. After all, although gold is a good thing, in fact, more transactions were made with five baht. Therefore, ordinary thieves naturally would not Think about the gold of the aristocratic family, because that is an act of courting death.

But now that gold is in the hands of ordinary people, how many thieves have begun to worry about it. After all, the market price of one tael of gold is 8000 five baht, which is not a small amount.

"Your Majesty, I have sent most of the officials to arrest the thieves who robbed gold in the Jingzhao area. However, the number of officials is limited, but the number of thieves is unlimited. So even so, this kind of thing is still It happened repeatedly." Sima Fang complained.

Sima Fang, as Jing Zhaoyin, never thought that a simple military reward would produce so many thieves. He thought he still cared about the people at the bottom, but when it comes to money, there are too many people who take risks.

"Is there no good way? Since I have already given the gold, it must be impossible to take it back again, otherwise the military rewards I mentioned will become a piece of waste paper. Besides, these families who own gold are also their sons or husbands. What I deserve from the battle, so I can't take it back."

Sima Fang just wanted to propose other ways of rewarding military merits. Gold is too attractive, but he didn't expect to be rejected by His Majesty before he could open his mouth.

"Your Majesty, if you can't use other methods to reward, I don't know what to do." Sima Fang said helplessly.

The reason why Zhang Ming uses gold as a military reward is to facilitate recycling and lower prices. If other methods are used, it is true that thieves will not be concerned about it, but it becomes difficult to promote business development and collect funds by the way. Executed.

"Since Jing Zhaoyin has nothing to do, I have the most stupid way, which is to send more people to arrest the thieves."

"So I plan to set up an organization dedicated to catching thieves, Jinyiwei. Their role is to assist officials everywhere to catch thieves."

What Zhang Ming was waiting for was Sima Fang's words, so that he could carry out what he wanted to do in a logical manner. The establishment of the Jinyiwei Organization was an idea he had long ago, but he has been suffering from no reason, so he can't say it out now. Sima Fang gave him such an opportunity.

How could the Jinyiwei's duty be simply to catch thieves? After this wave of incidents, Jinyiwei could become a permanent organization, responsible for supervising local officials in the name of catching thieves.

Sima Fang was a little surprised by His Majesty's words. He didn't expect His Majesty's idea to be so simple. Simply increasing the number of thieves to be caught would indeed solve the problem, but it would also increase the burden on the locality.

"Your Majesty, local taxes can't support more officials." Sima Fang continued to complain.

Zhang Ming really wanted to thank Sima Fang for his unintentional move, because he had no intention of using local taxation to support the Jinyiwei organization. Once the local taxation was activated, the Jinyiwei organization would work hand in hand with the local government sooner or later. In this case, it would be meaningless to monitor the locality.

However, although Zhang Ming was happy in his heart, his face was still very sad, and then he said slowly, "What Jing Zhaoyin said is also true. The local taxes are too high, so let's do this first. I will use the money from the palace to pay them. Salary."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sima Fang didn't think about the future at all. At least in the short term, he didn't have to worry about Jin Yiwei's salary. Since His Majesty is so generous, he also enjoys it.

The officials in the court didn't care much about this matter, after all, it was all Jing Zhaoyin's business, and catching the thieves was a trivial matter, not of any importance.As for the Jinyiwei organization established by His Majesty, they are not surprised. After all, His Majesty can set up a military department to manage military power, let alone a small organization that catches thieves.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Ming was already happy. He originally thought that he would face a big obstacle, so he didn't launch it for a long time. Now that he thought about it, he realized that the officials of the Han Dynasty were indeed too simple compared to the later generations. .

But yes, almost all the officials in the Han Dynasty were from aristocratic families, and they had never experienced any hardship since they were young. Moreover, during this period, the status of scholars was very high. Even in the face of imperial power, the gentry class did not fall behind. That's why the gentry didn't worry. Of course, maybe they didn't think about that at all.

"Tingwei, I don't know what happened to the mayor of Dongxiang, how should I deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, the three clans should be razed." Zhong Yao stood up and said.

"Okay, this matter will be handled by you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Zhong Yao finished speaking, he stepped aside.

"Chang'an City is the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, but the original Chang'an Order's inaction caused chaos in Chang'an City. Now I need someone who understands the laws of the Han Dynasty and is fair and selfless to serve as the Chang'an Order."

"A few days ago, when dealing with wartime affairs, I was impressed by Tingwei Zuojian's way of doing things. I think it is most suitable for him to serve as Chang'an Order with his talent and character."

When Tingwei Zuojian Fayan dealt with the wartime martial law before, he did not bend the law for personal gain, no matter whether he was a disciple of aristocratic family or ordinary people, he treated them equally, and most importantly, Fayan was impartial and selfless enough, so he would be able to do well. Restrain the officials below.

"Since all the officials have no objection, then it's decided like this." Zhang Ming said.

Regarding the mayor of Dongxiang, I didn't expect so many things to be brought up.

First, a new Chang'an decree was established, Fa Yan, presumably with his talent and character, the management of Chang'an City should take on a new look.

Then the Jinyiwei organization was set up. Although it is now an organization that hunts down thieves in name, it actually has the possibility of monitoring places.

Finally, the protection of families who have won military merits has been further strengthened, so that the army can feel more at ease when fighting on the front line.

"Ministers, in the past few days, when I read the memorials of Shangshutai, I found that because I don't like reading in recent years, I don't understand the content of many memorials. But as the king of a country, how can I even pay attention to the important affairs of the country? I don’t understand, so I’m also extremely troubled.” Zhang Ming said sadly.

"Your Majesty is still young, and you have not received the education of the Taifu in the past, so it is normal for you not to understand." Shang Shu Lingshi Sun Rui stood up and said.

Since Shangshutai's memorials were transferred to the palace, Sun Rui, a minister of Shangshuling, was worried that His Majesty would make wrong comments after receiving these memorials, which would lead to chaos in state affairs, so he was particularly concerned about the final situation of these memorials. It was found that although the memorial was transferred to the palace, His Majesty has hardly revised the content reviewed by Shang Shutai, at most writing some notes.

Today in the court, after hearing His Majesty's words, Shi Sunrui knew why His Majesty did this. In fact, it is not surprising, after all, Your Majesty is young. What's more, when Dong Zhuo was in power, he let His Majesty play around and ignore it. the most basic education.

"Since your majesty wants to understand the content of the memorial, you need to choose a good tutor. From a minister's perspective, Wen Xian is the best candidate." Shi Sun Rui recommended.

"How can I be a tutor?" Yang Biao declined.

"Among the officials present, apart from Wen Xian, I really can't think of anyone who can be a grand tutor." Shi Sun Rui continued.

"Brother Junrong, I accept your kindness, but I think there is someone more suitable than me." Yang Biao said with a smile.

Yang Biao himself didn't have such big ambitions, especially after seeing Wang Yun's end, he knew that as His Majesty's teacher, he would easily become the target of all officials' attacks. At that time, some wrong things His Majesty did, even He can be pushed on him by all the officials, so as His Majesty's teacher, it seems to be an honor, but in fact the risk is huge.

Yang Biao is not a person who likes to take risks, he is a prudent person, so he resolutely rejected Shi Sunrui's recommendation, although he knew that Shi Sunrui recommended this position to him out of good intentions.

"I don't know who Doctor Yang said?" Zhang Ming asked suspiciously.He knew that the person Yang Biao valued was by no means a simple person.

"Lu Zhi, Lu Zigan, now live in Shanggu County, Youzhou." Yang Biao said.

"I heard, didn't Lu Zigan go back to recuperate?" Zhang Ming asked

"Your Majesty, the name is recuperation, but he is actually fleeing from the persecution of the traitor Dong Zhuo. In fact, he still cares about the court. Ever since he heard that the traitor Dong Zhuo was killed, Lu Zhi once again had the idea of ​​helping the Han Dynasty. I just followed the trend. With Lu Ziqian's talent, he is the best candidate to be the Taifu." Yang Biao said seriously.

"Really? Lu Zigan is a great talent. If I have him as my tutor, I will be able to manage state affairs well in the future." Zhang Ming said excitedly.

"After the meeting is over, I will write a letter immediately and send it to Lu Zigan." Yang Biao said.
