Prince of Chaos

Chapter 579 The Dust Settles
The atmosphere in the Ciqing Palace was extremely delicate at the moment, and no one stood up to answer Zhu Changluo's question for a while.

Zhu Changluo looked at their entanglement and did not rush. He calmly held the teacup on the table and lightly swiped the tea with the tea cover a few times, but in the end he did not take a sip, and poured the tea The lamp was put down again.

After several ministers who were close to Zhu Changluo saw Zhu Changluo's action, they became even more entangled.

The crown prince didn't speak, just picked up the teacup and put it down again, apparently to listen to their opinions, if, at this time, he still didn't understand the crown prince's mood, he pretended not to see it.

When the Crown Prince picks up the teacup again, someone will definitely be unlucky.

Therefore, at this time, Sun Piyang, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who was standing behind Wang Jiaping, the second assistant, stood up.

Sun Piyang went out to pay homage and said, "Your Highness, I think that the reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is inevitable. However, the establishment of a new supervisory envoy of the third rank, the supervisory order of the fifth rank, and the supervision of the county magistrate from the seventh rank, I think it still needs to be considered. .”

"When Taizu Zhaoji established the official system at the beginning of the founding of the country, he considered the pros and cons of the censor and censor system in the past dynasties. He was worried that there would be a powerful and respected censor in this dynasty. humble."

"This is to prevent the power of governors since the Eastern Han Dynasty, separatist regimes, and chaos in the world. The old minister suggested reducing the ranks of newly-established supervisors to ensure that the government cannot be disrupted due to power."

After Sun Piyang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said this, some ministers in the hall hesitated for a while, and then stood behind him and echoed: "The ministers second the proposal."

At this time, Zhu Changluo glanced at the crowd, and then glanced at the four cabinet ministers who had not expressed their views and several ministers of the Military Aircraft Department who were part-time ministers. Zhu Changluo asked again: "Do you have any suggestions?"

At this moment, before Wang Xijue could stand up, Dong Qichang stepped forward first.

Dong Qichang went out to pay homage and said, "Your Highness, I think what Sun Shangshu said is reasonable. But it is not clear enough. If you want to cut down the ranks of newly-established supervisory envoys and other officials, how much should you cut? The grade, I think it is a bit too much. Because it violates the original intention of the reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"So, I would like to ask Sun Shangshu, if the newly established ranks of inspectors should be reduced, how should they be cut? How much? I think this is a question that must be clarified. This is related to the power and responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate after the reform. Not careful."

Zhu Changluo hummed and said, "What you said makes sense."

Then Zhu Changluo asked Sun Piyang again, "How much should Sun Qing cut? You are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and you can give Gu a suggestion."

Zhu Changluo kicked the ball to Sun Piyang again.

After Sun Piyang listened to Dong Qichang's words, he regretted it.

Dong Qichang's words were clearly trying to force him to express his opinion.

If he insists that the new inspectors are not up to grade, after these inspectors take office, they will definitely hold a grudge, and try their best to dig up their own black material to bring him down and avenge today's death .

Although, Sun Piyang didn't care about this anymore as he got older.

However, there are still family members and old disciples behind him, and he has to consider the future for these people.

If he blocked other people's progress in a righteous way, then the progress of his family's descendants and old disciples would also be blocked.

Therefore, Sun Piyang must be cautious in his words and deeds at this time, and don't say anything dead.

Sun Piyang lowered his eyebrows and replied obediently: "I still can't generalize this matter. As far as Shuntian Mansion is concerned, the Yin of Shuntian Mansion is a second-rank official. If a supervisor from the fifth rank is arranged in Shuntian Mansion, then this supervisor Even so, there will definitely be no real supervision.”

"Therefore, I suggest that measures should be taken according to local conditions, and corresponding supervisory envoys should be set up according to the different situations of each chief secretary and prefecture, so as to achieve the purpose of the imperial court's supervision of all officials, keeping righteousness and eliminating evil."

Sun Piyang's words were cunning. This time, not only did he not say that he wanted to reduce the rank of supervisors, but he also used Shuntian Mansion as an example.

Since Shuntian Mansion was promoted, like the thirteenth Chief Secretary of the Ming Dynasty, they are all held by second-rank or junior second-rank officials. Therefore, when Sun Piyang said this, he felt as if he was acting as a supervisor status.

It seems to be inconsistent with the previous words.

But a wise person never thinks this is inconsistent.Instead, they think it's an art, a linguistic art.

Zhu Changluo didn't care about this kind of language art nonsense.

Zhu Changluo said: "Sun Qing's words are reasonable. However, I just want to ask how to adapt to local conditions?"

Sun Piyang bowed again: "The minister thinks that the current system of the imperial court should be followed. For example, within the six ministries, the ministers of each ministry are the second rank, and the ministers are the third rank. If the supervisor is only responsible for supervision tasks, they should be slightly lower than the ministers, and they should be the third rank. Only in this way can it be guaranteed that it will not interfere with the affairs of the Ministry."

After Zhu Changluo listened to Sun Piyang's words, he didn't express his position immediately. He continued to ask: "What do you think?"

Zhu Changluo threw the question out again.

At this time, Dong Qichang spoke again.

Dong Qichang said: "I have played. I have just reviewed the powers and responsibilities of the newly established inspectors. The chief inspectors are under the dual leadership of the imperial court's Metropolitan Procuratorate and the local governor and governor, and finally report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The minister thinks that this has limited the possibility of the supervisory envoy to expand his power of supervision at the local level."

"Therefore, I believe that the local supervisory envoys should be set as the third rank. It is only necessary to clarify the authority of the supervisory envoys in detail, so that they have no direct power to supervise the chief envoys. According to the supervisory envoys, they all command envoys and other local three divisions, and cannot interfere. The local military administration will do.”

At this moment, Zhu Changluo hummed, and said: "Sir, you are right. The purpose of setting up supervisors is not to control the power of local officials to govern the people, but to effectively control them from using their power to corrupt."

"I think that supervisors can exercise the power of supervision to the next level, and cannot overstep supervision. Between the same level, supervisors need to report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the local governor if they find problems The right to make adjustments at the same level."

"However, during the investigation period, unless there is a clear order from the imperial court, the supervisory envoy shall not interfere with the work of the person under investigation. And during the investigation, if the supervisory envoy discloses the investigation secrets, he will be charged with dereliction of duty and leaking secrets. What do you think?"

After Zhu Changluo finalized the supervision rules of the supervisor, he looked at everyone and asked a question.

After hearing Zhu Changluo's rhetorical question, the ministers in the palace looked at each other quietly.

Wang Xijue, who was at the front of the station, directly held up an ivory white wat and said: "I have no objection."

After hearing Wang Xijue's loud response, Wang Jiaping, Shen Li, and Shen Yiguan immediately followed up, "I have no objection."

The four ministers of the cabinet have already obeyed Zhu Changluo's wishes, and the remaining ministers will naturally not continue to make small calculations about their own one-acre three-point land.

They also replied: "I have no objection."

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, since the ministers have no objection, the matter will be handed over to the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Officials to jointly determine the detailed rules, and then promulgate the world, and the salty envoys will hear about it. From now on, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will continue to shoulder the responsibility. The duty of rectifying the righteousness of the world, I hope that all the ministers will encourage each other, set an example, and refrain from trying the law by oneself and colluding with cronies."
