sweeping the world

Chapter 543 A big step forward for the legal system
There is nothing trivial about the country, let alone the reform. Yu Yi just heard the beginning and his mind was blown to pieces.

Improving the law is one thing, not a trivial matter, but it is a big deal to reform the departments related to the law. Yu Yi wondered if his court lieutenant was just a decoration, why didn't he hear a little bit of it beforehand? The wind was waiting for the king to hear about it before he was invited to the scene.

The king knows it first, and then the directly related officials know it. No matter how you look at it, it is not a rule in line with common sense and officialdom. If you are sensitive, you should think in the direction of whether the king is going to make trouble.

Yu Yi wants to know one thing now, what happened in the country recently, so big that it needs a comprehensive reform of the legal institutions.

Throughout the long river of history, none of the reforms is a simple matter. It can even be said that as long as it can be related to the reforms, it has always been to kill blood, and even the person who leads the reforms will not get a good end. .

The Han Kingdom was founded not long ago, and there is no solidified interest class. Sang Yu has enough confidence to carry out reforms against the legal institutions. He is now more or less one of the leaders of the legal institutions, and the Yushifu has enough confidence to suppress Under the circumstances, the one that may be resisted is the Ting Wei Department.

The chief official of the Tingwei Department is Yu Yi. Among the existing factions in the Han Dynasty, the Southern Faction has little influence and insufficient influence. Yu Yi's parachuting into the important position of Tingwei has aroused dissatisfaction among a large group of people. Sang Yu didn't think that Yu Yi would bring much danger to him with this action.

Sang Yu went to Liu Yan first, and the result of the trial was very obvious. Not only did Liu Yan have no objection, but he also clearly expressed his approval. It can be said that the matter has been stabilized.

For Sang Yu, even if Yu Yi causes some small troubles, the problem will not be too big. Furthermore, the interests of many people will not be affected by the actions of the legal organs. Next, as long as some benefits are given to the Ting Wei Department, then this One thing is sure to be done.

The Yushifu will evolve into a collection of courts, controlling the sole power of sentencing and sentencing. It is difficult to say what will be gained and lost, but in a general sense, it is a huge power for the Yushifu.

"People don't have immediate worries, but they have long-term worries, and the same is true for countries." Sang Yu couldn't answer Yu Yi's question, so he could only come up with a roundabout strategy: "You can't regret it and make up for it after the thing actually happened. You should do it after the thing happened. It was perfected before, does Tingwei think it makes sense?"

Yu Yi couldn't refute Sang Yu's remarks of "wearing a big hat", so he could only keep a stiff face.

"The Tingwei Department is dedicated to law enforcement, and is in charge of searching, arresting, and detaining." Sang Yu didn't care about Yu Yi's complexion: "The power of law enforcement belongs to the Tingwei Department, but before the law enforcement, the Yushifu needs to issue an official document. Then set One department focuses on the power of supervision. In this way, a cycle is formed, and the law must be exercised clearly.”

The Ting Wei Department itself has the power of supervision, law enforcement, and trial, but under the premise that it is not a major case and is appointed by the king, the relevant personnel of the Ting Wei Department cannot go down to the local area.

In Sang Yu's proposal, the Ting Wei Department will not only be a law enforcement agency in the capital, but should have subordinate offices in all states, counties, counties, and townships. Yu Yi was immediately attracted to it.

To put it bluntly, the Ting Wei Department was a very scary department in the past, and it was still a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor. Under the premise of "political missions", it was almost to catch everyone to death.

The Ting Wei Department has a great reputation, but it is basically a bad reputation. It only needs to hang the signboard of "Emperor's Special Eagle Dog". Judgment power, but in Yu Yi's view, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, the difference is only whether the king is really willing to let go of this "political weapon".

Seeing Yu Yi looking suspiciously at him, Liu Yan just smiled back.

Of course, the ruler needs a sharp weapon in his hands, especially a sharp weapon to frighten the officials. The Ting Wei Department used to be such a existence.But isn't the emergence of the Ting Wei Department precisely the appearance of the rulers in order to deter and deal with officials?Without the Ting Wei Department, it is enough to set up another department with the same function as the ruler.

A smile made Yu Yi start to sigh. Liu Yan was a good king, not only in opening up new territories, but also in treating his courtiers gently. He let him go even when the Tingwei Office told him to.

Sang Yu was even happier. What he was most afraid of before was the king's opposition. After all, the Ting Wei Department was really not important to the king.

As a king, Liu Yan didn't care at all that the Tingwei Office was transformed from an "eagle dog" to a "public weapon". The biggest obstacle to reform...or reform has disappeared. From the perspective of the power showdown between the monarch and his ministers, it should be a battle that belongs to the ministers. victory.

Ji Chang hesitated to speak many times. From the perspective of the king's number one loyal dog, what is good for the country is not necessarily good for the king, and what is harmful to the king should be stopped.

As prime minister, Ji Chang had the right to object to internal affairs, including the reforms proposed by Sang Yu, but he could only not intervene in some military developments.He didn't object, but was stopped by Liu Yan's eyes many times.

Now, the king, imperial envoys, and court officials have initially reached an agreement on the reform, but the prime minister deliberately opposed it but did not stop it, which means that a major issue related to the country has been "quietly" decided from top to bottom.

Sang Yu was filled with joy. The big deal had been finalized. The next step was just some details. But there was one thing that still needed to be confirmed: "The sentencing and law enforcement are already in place. I would like to ask the king to confirm the supervision."

Liu Yan didn't think too much, and two names came to mind, that is, Jin Yiwei and Six Doors, but the following things still need to be considered.

Looking at Sang Yu's reform ideas, no matter what department, the officials and the people are directly included in the power of law enforcement. According to the past practice, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, there has been no distinction between officials and people in law enforcement. Law enforcement powers against military personnel.

Liu Yan thought that since it was going to be done, whether it was reform or law reform, it should be done in one step. After thinking about it, he said: "For supervision matters, we will create a new Dali Temple. In addition, I still have to think about it. Form the supervision and law enforcement between the people and the officials Two systems."

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, Tingwei was in charge of the prisons, and reviewed serious cases in various places.Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (including Emperor Liang Wudi of the Southern Dynasty) were all changed to Dali.Later, Dali Temple is actually a department that replaced the Tingwei Department. After Dali Temple, there will be no Tingwei Department.

The current state of Han needs to reform the law. The Yushifu and the Tingweifu have their own powers, but there is one less supervisory department to get Dali Temple out and make up for it. It can be regarded as Liu Yan's laziness in thinking of a new name. .

"Punishment is said to be a scholar, and it is also called reasoning. Dali Temple is just in line with the original intention." Sang Yu has read a lot, and the origin of a name comes out casually.He said with a serious face: "The Master of the Yushi Mansion is sentencing and judging, the Tingwei Office is dedicated to the power of search, arrest, and detention, and the Dali Temple is responsible for supervision. If there is no supplement, the main functions are determined like this?"

In fact, Yu Yi still has a lot of questions to ask. Seeing that Sang Yu is so domineering, he thought about many issues that might cause conflicts, so he decided not to argue in front of the king, but to discuss them in private later.

Ji Chang has nothing to say about the things he has already confirmed. His attention is all on the end of what Liu Yan said just now. .

Sang Yu achieved what he wanted, and left after chatting a little.

Yu Yi is now fully focused on confronting Sang Yugang, for example, he needs an official document from the Yushifu to enforce the law. Since Sang Yu left, he couldn't wait to salute Liu Yan and chase after him.

Liu Yan and Ji Chang were left in the apse, and naturally those maids who waited on the sidelines were indispensable. No one spoke for the time being because they were digesting the previous information.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ji Chang said with a livid face, "Doctor Yushi, his heart is to be punished!"

They are all smart people, even if they didn't think of it at the beginning, they will definitely think of some beginnings and endings later. Ji Chang has such an attitude because he understands why Sang Yu did what he did.Now that he knew why Sang Yu did that, he was really indignant when he said that.

"Don't get angry in Tai'an." Liu Yan could still laugh: "Although Zishen has bad motives, he has done a good thing that is beneficial to the future of the country."

Liu Yan did not grow up in a wealthy family since he was a child. He was an ordinary citizen for more than [-] years. After taking power, everything went smoothly and he did not experience too many intrigues.His starting point is different from that of many kings. Of course he cares about the wealth of his family, but more importantly, he hopes that under his leadership, the Chinese people can survive in all the lands where the sun shines, and he works tirelessly for this. working hard.

Ji Chang breathed a sigh of relief, it is best for the king to know the matter well, and he must have thought about such a development, so there is no need to say more.What he cares about is: "Did the king mention that the people and the officials should separate the law enforcement?"

Liu Yan nodded and said: "This matter is also within Zishen's expectation, he is very smart not to talk about it."

One sentence made Ji Chang not even know whether he should continue or not. After thinking about it, he still felt that he should mention it. He felt that he was different from Sang Yu, and that all his starting points were to serve the king.

"I am still thinking about it..." Liu Yan said in an uncertain tone: "The reform of the Yushifu and the Tingwei Office, the addition of the Dali Temple, and the separation of powers are good things for the country and the people. If the people violate the law, the government will When exercising their power to maintain public security, public servants break the law...or in other words, how can we better deter officials from breaking the law?"

The evaluation of Jinyiwei by later generations is derogatory and poor, but the reason why Jinyiwei was created was to target officials rather than ordinary people.Officials will hate Jinyiwei, which is the disgust of natural enemies in the food chain. Isn't it the privilege of wanting to make mistakes and not be sanctioned?

What Liu Yan needs to think about is whether to put the Zhu family on the bright side, or to keep a low profile on the dark side.

Ji Chang had a lot of opinions, and he was anxious about the power of the king...or the sharp weapon in his hand was deprived, waiting to find out that Liu Yan had his own considerations, but he couldn't speak much.He is the prime minister, and no matter how loyal he is to the king, he is still the prime minister, and the prime minister is not a minister.

Liu Yan was thinking about officials breaking the law, Ji Chang was thinking about the reform of the government, but he forgot what should have been discussed.

The Dachaohui preliminarily determined the outline of fertility rewards, and the news was passed back to the family through hundreds of officials, and then spread to the people.

There is a reward for giving birth to a child, and the reward is land, which is definitely great news for Han.

Many people suffer from being unable to join the army, which means that they have no legal means to obtain land. It is absolutely false to say that the state controls land too strictly and there are no more channels to obtain land. There is no dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Some time ago, the king personally made the decision, and capable families can expand outwards, which slightly appeases the groups that have been suppressed, but the expansion is restricted to areas, which means that even if they can obtain land, it is in a very distant place.

"You can have land when you give birth to a child, but where is this land?" Su Wan was more or less a senior official. He did not have this surname or this name before.After he went down to court, he went to the wine shop according to his usual habit, and gathered with his colleagues who got along well: "Do you have any ideas?"

Su Wan was originally called Su Lewanwo, and he was actually the same as the Xiqian family. He had Han blood in his bloodline, but he was originally a foreigner.These two families are a microcosm of the current state of Han. There are many Hu people who, regardless of whether they have Han blood or not, have fully sinicized on their own. Not only the change of surname and first name, but also the living habits and so on. In every aspect.

The Hu people who integrated into the Han Dynasty later were not looked upon favorably, but those who fully self-Chinese in the early stages were not despised. This was related to the difference of "from the dragon to the later".

"Of course it's best to be nearby." Chen Jiaju said slightly distressed: "But it seems unlikely..."

Officials in the Han Dynasty are not necessarily nobles, but nobles must be officials, and nobles usually have fiefs, only a few nobles have fiefs near their families, and most families with fiefs are actually far away and dispersed situation.

A fief is a land granted as a reward.According to the regulations in the Western Han Dynasty, the nobles had part of the management rights over the fiefdoms, but it was not the "state within a state" like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Under normal circumstances, it was a certain proportion of the income.

"In the southwest, the land developed by the family is similar to a classical fiefdom..." Wang Yong's eyes lit up when he said this: "Instead of focusing on the land where children were born, it is better to open up outside."

"Yes." Xie Ziyu said cheerfully, "Explore outside is the last word."

The topic was changed immediately after such a change. It is very important for ordinary people to have children and get land. After all, there are really not many channels for ordinary people to obtain land. The strength of officials and nobles is not comparable to that of ordinary people. A little comparison should focus on No one knows where.

For those families with the ability to expand outward, they are actually not satisfied with those limited gains, but the current authority of the royal family is completely irresistible to them, and they can only accept the rules formulated by Liu Yan.
