Chapter 25 In charge of the Taiyuan (the leader of the Wind Alliance)

Li Longji is versatile and not only proficient in music, but also has profound attainments in calligraphy. The ancient and modern calligraphy garden once commented on Li Longji's calligraphy: "The Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty has eight-point chapter grass, and is rich in talent."

The four big words "Unparalleled in the World" use the technique of eight-point script.

Pei Min's own calligraphy attainments are quite good, and he can tell that Li Longji's eight-point calligraphy is deeply rooted in the essence of eight-point official script and is full of ancient style.

"Good word!" Pei Min praised it and shook his head, "The four words "Unparalleled in the world are too big, and I can't afford it now." He is still self-aware. When it comes to swordsmanship, by inheriting the original talent of the Sword Saint Pei Min, and the advanced martial arts theory of the 20th century, his swordsmanship is now stronger than Pei Min of the same era in history, but he has not yet reached the level of a master. Among the same generations, he is undoubtedly sweeping, and not many of them are his opponents. But facing those martial arts celebrities who have become famous for thirty or forty years, he may not be sure to win. If he meets a martial arts master like Zhang Sanfeng, the chance of winning is not high. After all, the other party has experienced and experienced experience, and he is still not as good as twenty.

Li Longji heard what he meant and smiled and said, "I can't afford it now, but it means I can do it in the future?"

Pei Min said affirmatively: "It's definitely possible!" What is the reason why he can't do what Pei Min can do in history?

Li Longji laughed: "Your sword helps me to determine the overall situation. The impact of that sword is not comparable to the ordinary weapons in the hands of those martial artists in the world. I think you can take responsibility, so you can take responsibility and give it to you and accept it."

Pei Min closed the copybook and said, "That minister is disrespectful. By the way, I didn't pay attention to that sword yesterday, so I took it back to the mansion."

"Okay!" Li Longji interrupted directly, pretending to be displeased, "I still have a lot of government affairs in my hands, and I don't have time to discuss these with you. You can retreat first, and wait until I finish dealing with the matters in my hands, and then find some time to talk to you about the military system." He directly issued an order to expel guests.

Gao Lishi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty said, there is no reason to take back the things you gave out. That sword can kill a few more corrupt officials in the hands of the Censor!"

Pei Min had no choice but to thank him again and retreat.

Gao Lishi sent him out of Tai Chi Palace and returned the Qin Emperor Sword to him.

Pei Min touched the Qin Emperor Sword and really liked this magic weapon, so he happily left the palace.

Gao Lishi put the mint water on the table and said softly: "Your Majesty hasn't even closed his eyes all day and night. Drink some mint water to refresh his mind." He knew Li Longji and knew that letting him go to bed at this time would only cause his disgust.

Li Longji drank the mint water without saying a word, feeling the unique coolness of mint stimulated the brain and stomach, and his spirit became much more refreshed, and said, "You still understand me the best! Did you send Pei Min out of the palace?"

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Yes, the Censor is very happy. The little slave can see that the sword Qinhuang Sword, and he likes it very much."

Li Longji smiled and said, "It's good to be happy. I feel sorry for him. If he is unhappy, wouldn't it be for nothing? His current abilities and potential are indeed worthy of the sword. What do you think of him?"

Gao Lisz paused and said, "The little slave is stupid and dare not comment on himself. However, when the little slave summoned him, the Censor and his colleagues in the Ministry of War were a piece of cake, and they were not affected by the promotion of the title. The little slave was still very impressed. The little slave was highly valued by His Majesty, and it was already a great blessing to be promoted to the eunuch and the chief officer. He was promoted to the Yinqing Guanglu doctor in an extraordinary manner. He was also a little proud in his panic."

Li Longji nodded: "It is rare to not forget his original intention. I want to establish Taizong and Gaozong's great achievements. It is a great blessing to be able to obtain such talents to assist him."

Pei Min took over the "unparalleled in the world" given to him by Li Longji and went to the Censorate to report first.

The administrative system of the Tang Dynasty was recognized as the three provinces and six ministries. The Censorate was also known as the Constitutional Terminal. Its special situation was a special central supervision agency and was also a central judicial organ. It was responsible for picking up, impeaching officials, and rectifying disciplines. Before Zhenguan, the Censorate Terminal only reported the news and had no judicial power. During the Zhenguan period, the Censorate Terminal set up a prison and had the right to accept special litigation cases, which greatly increased the authority of the Censorate Terminal.

Because of the special organization of the Censorate, all the official positions of the Censorate, from the Censor to the Censor, are low-ranking and heavy-powered, and have always been powers that no one wants to offend. Because of this, Wang Maozhong, who was in power and arrogant in the yi Dynasty, dared not be too presumptuous in front of Pei Min.

The Censorate is located in the middle of Chengtianmen Street, and the second street that relies on the Zhuquemen Gate. On the left is Zongzheng Temple and on the right is Taishijian.

The current censor named Cheng Xingzhan, who is honest and honest, is a good person who attaches great importance to grammar, and is therefore highly valued by Li Dan and Li Longji.

Cheng Xingzhan warmly welcomed Pei Min's arrival, but did not put on any airs. Instead, he enthusiastically introduced the Chief Censor Yang Maoqian to him. According to common sense, there were two Chief Censors, but among them, the Taiping Yi Party, who was punished and had no new members to replace him. The power of the Censorate is in the hands of Cheng Xingzhan and Yang Maoqian.

Pei Min served as the Censor and also had the title of Duke of the State, and his status in the Censorate was second only to these two.

Cheng Xingzhan personally led Pei Min to visit the Censorate and told Pei Min about the role of the Censorate: "Everyone in the world is afraid of my Censorate like a tiger. Although there is a reason for this, as a member of the Censorate, the Censor hopes to remember the points. The real power of the Censorate is not a cruel punishment in the eyes of the world, and the Censor is not a cruel official. The significance of its existence is to prevent corruption by the supervision system."

The censor system of the Tang Dynasty was different from the previous dynasties. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin attached great importance to the integrity of officials. When the Zhenguan reform was launched, he sent the Censorate many times to inspect the country, inspect the administration of officials, and wrote the merits and demerits of local officials on the screen in the palace as a basis for promotion and demotion. In addition, it was stipulated that Beijing officials of the fifth rank and above took turns to stay in the Secretariat to attend the Secretariat, so that the sufferings and gains and losses of the people were investigated. The emperor took the lead in setting an example, and officials were determined to be public, and officials were all responsible, which greatly reduced the phenomenon of abuse of power and corruption. During the Zhenguan period, most officials across the country were honest and upright, and this atmosphere was extremely rare throughout the thousand-year history. However, in the Wu Zetian period, in order to consolidate his position, Wu Zetian appointed cruel officials Lai Junchen to persecut civil and military officials with the power of the Censorate. Therefore, the Censorate became a notorious hell and everyone was afraid.

With this lesson, Cheng Xingzhan was in charge of the Censorate and would never tolerate the behavior of cruel officials. He would like to remind him of the accident.

Pei Min nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, I understand this principle. Being a rude and chastity is the most despicable method. People don't know the matter, unless they don't do it themselves. As long as it is an official dereliction of duty, there will be examples of political achievements. Since you are in charge of criminal law, you will take the law first."

Cheng Xingzhan nodded with satisfaction and introduced the Censorate's organization to him.

The Censorate is divided into three departments: Taiyuan, Dianyuan and Censorate. Among them, the Taiyuan is responsible for picking up all the officials and impeaching illegal acts; trialing cases specially ordered by the emperor, and with the ministers of the Ministry of Education, the Zhongshushushangers of the Zhongshushang Province were divided into courts and accepted unjust lawsuits. They were also responsible for the daily affairs of the Censorate Office. They were the most important department of the Censorate Office. The Palace Court was responsible for supervision, and the supervision targets were mainly the activities of the officials in the Palace Court to maintain the etiquette and order of the court. The task of the Censorate was to inspect the hundreds of officials and inspect the prefectures and counties.

Pei Min's position is the Censor, and he is the Taiyuan, which belongs to the Censorate's most powerful position.

Pei Min learned about his future responsibilities in the Taiyuan Court. The current censor's tasks are not heavy. When there are no illegal officials who violate the law or criminal cases, he is a idle position. He has great power and is still idle. Pei Min is full of yearning for his good life in the future.

Li Longji does have ambitions and does not hide this.

He overthrew Wu Zetian's orders and laws. In addition to leaving behind excellent government orders proposed by famous ministers such as Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi, the other ones directly restored and implemented the administrative standards during the reign of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong.

For incompetent and useless officials, yi cut them down and then 500 Beijing officials were laid off in just ten days. The officials in charge were routinely assessed and judged whether the officials were able to achieve results in their positions based on their actual results.

The Censorate where Pei Min was located also cooperated with Li Longji's actions and sued some incompetent officials to the imperial front. Li Longji gave the order to remove the official without hesitation.

The successive big moves shocked everyone in the court, and made those officials who wanted to live a life without working hard all their energy to do things. Those who are truly talented also saw hope for the future and worked harder.

Just like the story of the three monks, the fewer officials have made the entire court's organization more convenient and faster.

Li Longji also fulfilled his promise, constantly increasing the authority of the Censorate and increasing the strength of the Censorate. Li Longji's approach is like Li Shimin. He valued the Censorate not for criminal punishment, but for deterrence and prevention.

After ten days of adaptation, Pei Min took over the work of the Taiyuan Court. His original intention of the Censorate was good, but the rules were a bit old and flashy. He read many cases left by the Censorate. Most of the cases were taken after the officials were exposed, the situation was serious, and the people were harmful to the court.

Just like later generations, everyone knows that they do not cause public anger or make trouble, and they cannot get effective and quick handling.
