Zhao Bing saw that the person who popped up did not know him. It seemed that many new people had entered the court during the period when he left the court. Seeing that the man was not old, he looked as if he was full of righteousness and was swearing to bring him down, he knew that he had encountered another "second pole" thing. He probably had a bad luck when he was young, and he died before he could display his talent. Now he wanted to do a career when he entered the court. If he wanted to become famous and climb quickly, there was no faster than to act as a big BASS than to take action against himself.

"Don't worry!" Before Zhao Bing was angry, he suddenly heard the sound of a spring on the scabbard behind him, and knew that Ni Liang was drawing the knife. Of course, this knife would never hit his head, so he was the only one in front of him. He had to know that no one dared to speak to him in public in the court for many years, and he immediately made him angry. But you can't kill someone in the court just because of a word, so he hurriedly stopped him softly.

"Hmph, it's another ignorant thing!" Ni Liang snorted hatefully, but the hand holding the hilt of the knife did not relax.

"Empress Dowager, since it is clear which is right and wrong about the two ministers this morning, please let the Minister Lu deal with it as appropriate!" Zhao Bing did not pay attention to it, but stood up and turned to the Empress Dowager.

"Yeah!" Empress Dowager Yang nodded and said to Lu Xiufu, "Prime Minister Lu, the Left Secretary of the Shangshu Province belongs to your supervisor. Do you know that something happened today?"

"Reported to the Empress Dowager, the ministers are not informed about this matter, and the civil servants who have not seen the reform of the Eastern Palace. I wonder if they should know whether they should know?" Lu Xiufu felt wronged. He had such a thing happened to his subordinates, but he was confusedly caught in. Now, the little emperor doesn't want to go into it, but the Empress Dowager still seems to be reluctant to give up.

"Master Lu, when he was in Qiongzhou, the construction, salary and purchase requirements of the inner court were all handled by the General Department, and the Secretariat did not interfere." Ying Jieyan went out of the line to bow, "I only requisitioned the land for the repair of the Northern Palace and communicated with the Secretariat for the matter of the mansion and house. This official only filed and coordinated according to the customs, and did not interfere much. The matter of the repair of the Eastern Palace was not clear, and the documents had not been seen yet."

"Why are you so confused when doing things? The emperor's wedding is a major matter of the country. If something happens, you don't know the whole story. You must investigate this matter strictly!" Empress Dowager Yang was very angry. A group of people went to the palace to sue the young emperor this morning, but in the end, it was just a mess because of a big mess and almost wronged him.

"Abide by the Queen Mother's edict, I will investigate this matter deeply and deal with the officials involved strictly!" Lu Xiufu and Yingjie politely said.

"You are the Empress Dowager, I think that even if Doctor Li is wrong in this matter, your Majesty has made mistakes first, so he should be investigated!" The guy who came out to participate in His Majesty saw that he was left there and no one to pay attention to him, not only was he extremely embarrassed, but also a little embarrassed and shouted loudly again.

"Who is this person? Why do you want to participate in me again and again?" Zhao Bing frowned and asked Lu Xiufu beside him. In fact, he could also judge first or second by this person's official uniform. He was also a green robe, which means that he was not as good as the fifth rank and did not have the qualifications to go to the palace. Of course, there are exceptions. One is the group of people who were just "subsidized" just now, who were particularly allowed to go to the palace; the other is the censor. Although their official rank is low, they have the right to go to the palace to talk about things. Therefore, he judged that he should be from the Censorate, but he did not recognize him, so he became a little vague.

"Your Majesty, he is the newly elected inspector, Censor Ding Qi!" Lu Xiufu replied.

"Oh, this is really awesome for the newcomer. I haven't been involved in two years!" Zhao Bing touched his chin and glanced at him and said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why Ding Qi wants to do it, and I don't know beforehand!" Zhao Bing's question shocked Lu Xiufu, because both things were within his jurisdiction. If he didn't believe it, he quickly explained.

In fact, Zhao Bing cannot be blamed for this matter. The government's supervision system has existed as early as the Zhou Dynasty, and it has continued in many dynasties, and the Song Dynasty is no exception. Why do various empires have to establish a supervision system? To put it bluntly, officials at all levels are "workers" invited by the emperor. The boss is afraid of being lazy and slacking off work, corruption, and committing favoritism and fraud, and digging the bottom of the imperial company, which leads to the overthrow of the imperial building, so he finds some supervisors to supervise them so that they can be loyal and responsible and dare not be corrupt.

Since the censor is a supervisor, of course, it cannot be elected and removed by the person being supervised, but must be appointed and removed by the emperor himself. It is basically impossible for other departments to intervene. The same is true for the censors in the Song Dynasty. The censors set up a censor to pick up evil officials and rectify disciplines. If they are major matters, they will be judged by the court, and if they are minor matters, they will be reported. There are three courts: one is the Taiyuan, which is the attendant of the Censor; the second is the palace court, which is the attendant of the censor in the palace; the third is the inspector, which is the supervisor of the censor. They are not subject to the provincial and court controls, but directly belong to the emperor and implement parallel management.

That is to say, the so-called power is only responsible for the source of power." The censor is appointed and removed by the emperor and is directly responsible to the emperor, not interfered by the chief executive of the same level or higher, or even the chief executive of the censor. The censor goes on a tour of Beijing, "either reveals his seal and faces his seal or submits his seal and reports to the emperor directly. There is no need to be submitted by the Taiwan Lord, and even if the Taiwan Lord returns, it cannot be dismantled. At the same time, the emperor also gave the censor the Shangfang sword of "reporting big things and making decisions on small things". In special circumstances, the censor can "work at a cheap price" and then take action.

The emperor's supervisor is "the eyes and ears of the court", so he must be carefully selected. In addition to the emperor's personal recommendation, the selection of the censor can also be recommended by the court officials, but it cannot be recommended by the relevant stakeholders to avoid collusion. In addition, the selected censor must have the experience of being a magistrate in the local area or three magistrates, and loyalty, straightforward, clear and honest, and honest, and honest.

Therefore, the censor is both the other eye of the emperor and a knife in his hand to restrain the prime minister. Therefore, the censors are all relatives from Zhao Bing, and they have always been in charge of the third master Deng Guangjian, so they are naturally often involved, but in recent years there have been very few. A while ago, Deng Guangjian was ordered to inspect Jiangdong prefectures and investigate officials' business activities. He left the court again, thinking that this kid was allowed to enter Taiwan by the Empress Dowager, but why did he have to make trouble for himself?

Of course, there is also supervision over the Censorate. The Censor's Office is set up in the Shangshu Province. This is a supervisory department that specializes in impeaching the Censor's dereliction of duty. The impeachment of the Censor's dereliction of duty is used as the basis for the emperor to promote and demote the Censor. Through this organization, the administrative department can inspect the Censor's dereliction of duty and restrict his abuse of power. In this way, strengthening supervision of officials through a complete set of system designs does play an important role in rectifying the administration of officials...

"You have repeatedly discussed that I am using the country without voluntarily. If you don't let you speak, do you have to block the way of speaking, be arrogant and unruly, and not follow the rules?" Zhao Bing turned around and asked.

"The last official dares not, it's just his duty!" Ding Qi replied in a regular manner, not humble or arrogant, and he looks like a censor.

"What position do you have to add, and what is the basis for?" Zhao Bing asked.

"The last official Ding Qi, the Censor of the Censorate, is responsible for inspecting the faults of the Ministry of Revenue." Ding Qi said again, "The last official reviewed the list of renovations of the Eastern Palace a few days ago and found that Xiangyuantang was not included, but appeared in the materials and tariff accounts. After the last official investigated, he found that His Majesty had moved to Xiangyuantang to live, and made changes to the residence, and changed it to Zhiyuantang. This confirmed that His Majesty was using the country without voluntarily and embezzled funds."

"Well, your name is Ding Qi, and then the memorial to me is also written by you!" Zhao Bing nodded and asked.

"Your Majesty, that's right. The last official thought that your Majesty's expenses are all for the private use of the country. Even if you are the emperor and rule the world, you should know that everything is made by the people and should not be spent on it, so as to increase the work of the people." Ding Qi said.

"But there are other things?" Zhao Bing asked after hearing this.

"The last official thought that this matter should be taken as a warning and obey the advice!" Ding Qi looked directly at Zhao Bing and said.

"Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Ding is involved in the personal use of my country. Please allow me to defend myself!" Zhao Bing smiled and shook his head, turned around and bowed upwards.

"Accurate!" The empress dowager hesitated for a moment and nodded. In fact, she was worried that once she was confirmed in the palace, she would have no room for maneuver. Not only would the emperor's reputation be damaged, but she would also embarrass her and would inevitably feel resentful. But seeing her confident appearance, she nodded.

"Censor Ding, I ask you first, have you seen the certificates that the Ministry of Revenue allocated the fee for the renovation of the Eastern Palace?" Zhao Bing received the decree and asked for a brief thought.

"The last official did not have one, and only saw the report submitted by the craftsman to the Secretariat and transferred to the Ministry of Revenue Supervisor, and the case and the approving of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." Ding Qi replied.

"If you said in your memorial that I had a lot of money to transform Xiangyuantang, what evidence would you have?" Zhao Bing did not judge the argument, but asked again.

"This... because the renovation of Xiangyuan Hall was attached to the account and the expenses were not listed in detail. The last official estimated the expenses based on the renovation of other palaces." Ding Qi hesitated and said in the truth.

"I ask you again, do you know that there is a difference between a national and an internal student?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"The last official knows!" Ding Qi nodded.

Since he could become an official, he naturally knew that the money assigned to the Ministry of Revenue in all dynasties was called the national school. How the emperor used it was not the final word. If the emperor wanted to use the money in the treasury, he had to discuss with the ministers first. If the ministers opposed it, the Minister of Revenue refused to give it to him, and the emperor could do nothing. The emperor had his own private money called the treasury, and the treasury was completely the emperor's private money. No matter how it was spent, he did not have to say hello to anyone. And it was passed down from generation to generation. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he continued to the emperor's treasury, and even the imperial silver treasury was inherited, each generation was increased or decreased, and was generally stored in the treasury.

So where did the money in the emperor's small treasury come from? As early as the Western Han Dynasty, it was stipulated that the state's finances came from land taxes, the captive tax for adults, the income from selling official positions and titles, and the income from the monopoly of salt and iron. For example, the production of the mountain tribute and the production of the mountain zeyuanchi, the income from the tariff and wine tax belongs to the royal family. There were also provisions that minors also had to pay captive tax, called verbal money, the big head belongs to the emperor, and the small head belongs to the Ministry of Revenue.

Sometimes the emperor would increase some special taxes and all the income was placed into the internal ranks. The internal ranks had special institutions to manage. If the state wanted to use the internal ranks, it had to obtain the emperor's consent, and it had to be returned afterwards, and interest was paid, which was considered a loan. This regulation was to prevent the emperor from extending his hands to the treasury and turning the treasury's money into royal private ownership.

"It's good that you know!" Zhao Bing nodded and smiled, waved to Chen Zeweng standing in the class, "Shangshu Chen, please come and answer."

"I obey the order!" Chen Zeweng heard the emperor summoning him and bowed to the stairs.

"Shangshu Chen, have you ever approved the allocation of funds for the reconstruction of the Eastern Palace?" Zhao Bing asked. He knew that today's matter must be well-rugged, otherwise there will be constant trouble.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have not approved it and have never allocated it." Chen Zeweng replied with great affirmation.

"How is this possible? Didn't the court approved two million yuan for the first time for His Majesty's wedding?" Ding Qi said in surprise.

"Chief Ding, it is true that the two million monarchs of affairs are not true, but this is used for Your Majesty to report to the temple, sacrifice to the heaven and earth, the country, the tombs, and the ceremonial guards and great rituals used. It does not include the renovation of the Eastern Palace." Chen Zeweng told him, "As far as I know, the construction of the Dawei, the food, the salary of the Empress Dowager, the eunuch, the palace maid, and even the guards are all from the internal servants and have never been allocated by the Ministry of Revenue."

"Impossible, impossible. If not, why did you submit a document to the Secretariat again?" Ding Qi was shocked when he heard this.

"I don't know about this official, but there has never been such an example before. You have to ask Prime Minister Lu!" Chen Zeweng stroked his beard and looked at Lu Xiufu.

"This can prove that there was no such example before. Maybe this precedent was set after His Majesty left the capital to cultivate!" Although Lu Xiufu's answer was vague, it also showed that what Chen Zeweng said was right.

"You said that I spent a lot of money to transform Xiangyuantang and were extremely extravagant. If I answered, you would definitely not believe it. Zhou Temple Supervisor is still here, please ask him!" Zhao Bing pointed at Zhou Xiang and said.

"It's all about catching wind and shadows, and it's nonsense!" Zhou Xiang was not so polite and said angrily, "Because the Eastern Palace needs to be renovated, craftsmen frequently enter and leave, and they are inevitably noisy. He moved to Xiangyuan Hall for safety reasons. Because the lake is cold, His Majesty agreed to make a little change after persuading everyone. He just changed a plaque, divided the halls into small rooms for living, and added a fire dragon. The materials and labor required only cost 237 sen and 165 sen, so how could there be a lot of money? You want to make a fortune from it, right?"

"The last official... I dare not, but this is too reasonable!" Ding Qi's face was no longer much different from Li Kuan just now, and he murmured as if he was talking to himself.

"You should discuss the affairs of my country's arbitrarily, and I will also defend myself!" Zhao Bing looked at the palace and said as if he was looking for someone, "Oh, this matter is caused by my innocence, which is suspected of fraud. Unfortunately, there are not many old people in the palace in the past..."

"Your Majesty, I can testify for Your Majesty!" At this time, Cai Wanyi stepped out and said.

"Your Majesty, I will prove it to you!" Ying Jieyan also said as he stepped out.
