back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 538

Qin Ming thought he had auditory hallucinations in his ears, and the servant asked, "What, what did you say?"

Su Shi repeated it again helplessly: "You make preparations first. In the next few days, when the time is right, I will hand over the Shangfang Sword, the imperial decree, and the official seal to you. You go and send troops to prepare to take over Kuizhou Road... ..."

Qin Ming is not stupid, taking over Kuizhou Road, wouldn't it mean that Kuizhou Road's transfer envoys and appeasement envoys should be emptied?
"Great Talent Su, are you saying that the perpetrator is the Kuizhou Road Transit Envoy and Comfort Envoy?"

Su Shi was a little surprised. Why is Qin Ming so smart at this time? "I didn't say that, it's just that I have the power and it's easy to do things..."

Even if Su Shi refused to admit it, Qin Ming always believed that the Kuizhou Road appeasement envoy was behind the scenes.Otherwise, how could Su Shi stay on Kuizhou Road for more than five months?It should be noted that the names of local administrative units in the Dashun Dynasty were very complicated. There were prefectures and prefectures under the road;Some prefectures are the same as the Jiedu Bugle, and some are different. Some Jiedu prefectures do not change their prefectures, and some do not set up a Jiedu Bugle after being promoted.

The division of roads was not originally set up as an administrative area. Therefore, the bureaucracy at the road level is not a system. There is no fixed formula for the establishment of officials and no fixed number of people.Generally speaking, Lu's bureaucracy mainly has four supervisors, called Shuai, Cao, Xian, and Cang.These officials are appointed by the emperor, or appointed by the prime minister at the behest of the emperor.

This "handsome" is also called a comfort envoy. He is a senior military and political officer along the way. As usual, he is served by civil servants, but he often takes the title of general manager, governs the army, and is in charge of military affairs, military affairs, and military engineering.During the Yuanshou period, the appeasement envoy was changed to Shuaisi, who was also in charge of civil affairs.

"Cao" is a transshipment envoy, and its job is to manage the wealth along the way to ensure the full amount of supply and local funds.In order to perform their duties, it is necessary to inspect the territory under their jurisdiction, examine books and records, and impeach officials.Over time, the transfer envoy became the de facto supervisor of the large administrative region (road).However, the rank of the transfer envoy is not very high, and the local governors, such as prefects and prefects, may also be former consuls, and their rank is higher than that of the transfer envoy.In terms of power, the transfer of envoys is relatively extensive, but in terms of system, they cannot completely treat the prefectures with subordinates. This is similar to the relationship between the prefectural governor and the county guard in the Han Dynasty.

Parallel to the transshipment envoy, there are two kinds of criminal and prison affairs and Changping division. The former is in charge of the judiciary, which is called "Xian"; the latter is in charge of famine relief, and is called "cang".In addition, a member of the pacification department was set up to take charge of the horse, and he could report directly to the emperor without the help of the pacification envoy. In fact, it was similar to the supervisor of the previous dynasty.Therefore, there are four system chiefs in each route, with different functions and powers, but they cannot be seriously responsible.

In the early years of Dashun, he learned the lessons of the previous vassals and towns, and abolished the real power of the vassals and towns. All the states were directly under the central government, and the Jiedushi only remained in empty name.And the country is divided into several regions called roads, and each road is equipped with a transfer envoy responsible for collecting and transferring wealth from various places.Afterwards, the transshipment made Yuanyuan gradually expand his powers, including frontier defense, thieves, criminal litigation, Jingu, and incorruption, and controlled all local administrative affairs, forming a situation of dividing and governing.

Qin Ming wasn't stupid, he just got a little impatient and careless.Su Shi has broken down to this level, and if he doesn't understand it, he can only be called an idiot.He said to himself: "That's right, he must be a very powerful person who can abduct and sell children from so many state capitals. The Kuizhou Road Transit Envoy and Comfort Envoy are indeed so capable..."

Su Shi was greatly amused: "I just found some clues and wanted to use the power of the imperial government. How can you say so profoundly? But..." When he said this, his eyes lit up, "What do you say? It is indeed possible. I learned from the local people, farmers in the countryside, and women in brothels that most of these abducted children are children of poor families. Not only will they not go to the yamen to appeal for grievances when they lose their children, but they will lose a lot of money. Burden. Even if there are high-ranking officials, in the end, nothing will happen. From this point of view, there must be some shady collusion in the local yamen's protection of these individual traffickers."

Qin Ming was taken aback, and suddenly shouted: "So you don't know anything either!"

Su Shi admitted generously: "I had no clue at all. What can I know? I just stopped here because I saw the beautiful scenery in Kuizhou. I didn't expect to find something by mistake."

Qin Ming really wanted to press Su Shi to the ground and beat him up: "Su Zizhan, you have hurt me so much!"

Su Shi sneered and said, "Actually, the real mastermind behind the scenes should be in Chang'an City. Otherwise, who would know our whereabouts? If Your Majesty wanted to thoroughly investigate this case, he would have started from Chang'an City long ago. We are just Your Majesty." It’s just a chess piece released, as long as it makes some noises from time to time to attract that person’s attention. As long as this person moves, His Majesty will have a way to capture him.” In fact, Lu Chengqi is not so smart, even if he knows that the mastermind behind the scenes is the court Important minister, he just guessed it.I have to say that some people's heads just look different from others.Lu Chengqi thought he was a smarter person, but compared to someone who was as smart as a monster, he was not a star and a half away.

Qin Ming was taken aback, and howled: "You mean, we are just bait?"

Su Shi picked up his teacup again, took a sip of tea, and said, "This metaphor is good, but our bait is not a vegetarian. What we have to do is to keep an eye on Kuizhou Road, Zizhou Road, and Guangnan East Road. , Guangnan West Road, Fujian Road and other state roads, if there is any disturbance, people will be arrested immediately."

Qin Ming looked downcast: "No wonder, no wonder these days, so many people want to kill us, so we are sweet and sweet..." These days, he and the dozen or so cadets from the Royal Military Academy fought bloody battles, fearful and fearful. I almost didn't get my nerves out of the question.In the end, Su Shi revealed the truth with one word. They were actually used as pawns in the wrestling by the emperor and the black hand behind the scenes, and they were still in the dark without knowing it!

Suddenly, Qin Ming raised his head: "The heroine Han is excellent in martial arts, why did you drive her away?"

Su Song said leisurely: "In less than a month, the case will come to light. The heroine Han is excellent in martial arts, so she has to go back to the capital. The situation in the capital is changing, and that's where she can show her skills. As for us, how long have we lived?" The identity will be revealed in the next day. If the Kuizhou Road transfer envoys and appeasement envoys have no ghosts in their hearts, the assassination will definitely continue; if they have ghosts in their hearts, then there will be no assassinations, understand?"

Qin Ming nodded his head half-understood. Seeing him like this, Su Shi shook his head and recited: "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, but I live in this mountain... Good tea, Qin Dalang, find me some more water , the teapot is dry..."
