The personnel and government orders announced by the courthouse on the first day of the twelfth lunar month really smelled like thunder. Not only the officials of the Finance Department were shocked, but even the court officials who had originally criticized the inefficient administrative efficiency of the Finance Department officials also felt like a storm was about to come.

The Tang Dynasty court had a complete set of document checking systems, which were generally divided into self-checking and other checkings. The chief clerk of the various departments was the chief clerk of the department, responsible for the document checking of the department's administration, and reported every quarter, the SCO Province, and the Shangshu Province conducted a hidden inspection every year.

As for his hook, the department specializing in hooking inspection conducts a systematic hooking inspection. The most important department of the financial hooking inspection is the Bi-de department under the Ministry of Justice. Therefore, the Bi-de department claims to be well-known for its internal and external funds and is the most important and last financial review agency of the entire court.

Such an arrangement also reflects the idea of ​​decentralization, checks and balances among the three provinces and six ministries. The ministry specializes in fiscal inspections, but itself does not have the power to finance.

Although the power of the Ministry of Justice is solemn, he is only a subordinate of the Ministry of Justice. He has neither the law enforcement power nor the administrative power. If he wants to improve the power of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue and the Warehouse Department still needs to cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue. Every time there is a leak in the investigation, the Censorate, Dali Temple and others need to conduct a follow-up trial.

Theoretically, both internal and external officials can be considered as subordinates and colleagues of the Bi Department, but in fact, the officials of the various departments have their superiors and have no subordinate affiliation with the Bi Department. Therefore, among the Jinshi, the Bi Department is quite special, with the Dusi, and there is another not very nice alias, that is, the Paper Grave.

A huge regime like the Tang Dynasty, the fiscal revenue and expenditure generated every quarter and every year is as vast as a sea of ​​smoke. The results of these administrative procedures are presented in documents, which can be imagined as compared to the total amount of documents required by the Ministry.

Financial audits also need to maintain relative independence. There are only so many officials in the department. If you sit down, you will be flooded with people, which is no different from entering the graves in advance. This shows that when officials give the officials alias, they are also full of humor with evil deeds.

Previously, the court officials were worried that the financial department was slow because the departments themselves retracted and transferred to the capital province, according to the process, the Ministry of Commerce needed to conduct inspections, so that the various financial and profits of the World Expo could be included in the warehouse and used as a subsidy.

There are many money matters involved in the World Expo, and it took more than a month to complete the plan. If the relevant documents are transferred to the paper grave of Bidu, I am afraid that there will be no conclusion in March next year. Seeing the gold mountains in front of me but due to the limited process, it is natural that the court officials are anxious.

Now the imperial court has set up a special office, and two ministers are used as envoys to gather the various departments to investigate the matters. The efficiency is naturally raised, which is also a practical emergency need.

And to be honest, the procedure of the self-checking of the officials was so slow and the money involved was so amazing. Whether it was to check the gains and losses or to smooth the accounts was really doubtful.

Long before the imperial court announced the government order, the censors of the Censorate had already heard of the fishy movement and appeared between the yamen halls of the sects and the residences of the sect officials. They had similar thoughts, wanting to draw out a few fat sheep from it.

If the imperial court's decrees were only this, most of the ministers took it for granted. However, in addition to the function of gag prosecution, the gouyuan also provided armored soldiers, which was equivalent to having a certain amount of law enforcement power, which made people feel awesome.

Although there are many Caoshi in the Central Taiwan Province of Beijing, there are almost no one who can directly control military power. Even the Zhengshi Hall and the newly established Privy Council, which is in charge of military affairs, have to use other clerk procedures to dispatch personnel. However, the newly established Gouyuan can directly raise soldiers under the yamen, and the danger will increase sharply.

Seeing the awe-inspiring appearance of the ministers, Li Tong couldn't help but smile. Finance has always been the foundation of the country, especially the series of income derived from the World Expo, which are new sources of wealth beyond the original government revenue, and it is not an exaggeration to pay attention to it no matter how much it is.

The income from commerce is different from the previous tax revenue. The land of households in the world has its own fixed amount within a certain period of time. The checking of this can be carried out according to the process.

However, a major feature of commerce is its high liquidity. If the supervision is carried out using the old method, even if any problems are found, the relevant personnel and evidence of crimes will probably have disappeared long ago.

Therefore, the management and audit of finance in this regard must be flexible and efficient, and for this purpose, it is not spared to share the power in one company.

The two civil and military envoys of Gouyuan cooperated with each other. Ge Fuyuan and Zhu Jingze were both candidates with extremely high official ethics, while Guo Da was his absolute confidant and minion. In order to avoid the situation of priests and soldiers of Sidian, he also deliberately dismissed Ge Fuyuan as the prime minister.

Since the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Shangshuo and the left and right Pushe have been appointed as the subordinate of the minister of the Central Secretariat to participate in politics. In the Kaiyuan period, those who do not participate in politics will not be the prime minister, and only should be in abide by the direct affairs.

If the court makes such a new personnel decision in ordinary times, a dispute will inevitably arise.

For example, the establishment of the Privy Council took a long time. It was divided into small departments since the Taiwan period. It was not until last year that Zhang Ren wanted to enter the DPRK to officially establish the Privy Council. It took nearly a year for the various companies to be included in the First Hospital.

As for the establishment of the earlier Jiying Pavilion, it is still a relatively embarrassing existence at the moment, but it is still rejected by the old institutions.

For example, in the Dongjiquan selection that started not long ago, Li Tong proposed that the Guansheng's scholars in Jiying Pavilion be injected into the official capital, but was opposed by the Selection Office and the Prime Minister. As for the reason, it was that although the Jiying officials were close to each other, their achievements were not clear in the court and their affairs were not clear in the rules. If you are lucky enough to inject capital, you may choose the law indiscriminately!

The court officials' reasons for opposing the matter are very legitimate. Jiying Pavilion is now just a question, and even a real attendant is not considered a real attendant. The two scholars, Li Jiao and Ma Huaisu, are both in the hall with other positions. Some of the subordinate students simply do not even have the status of a serious official, and they really have no way to review the calendar.

If even such an existence is included in the official capital for licensing, the criteria for selection will be destroyed. The value of such an official capital cannot be reflected at all, and it will inevitably be ridiculed by the fish-eyed beads. It is even better to clearly show the oblique seal of the official who is passing through the back door.

Even as an emperor, there are rules that cannot be avoided. The meaning of the existence of a system is not only whether it can be implemented in a practical way, but also provides a standard of right and wrong in acting.

There is also a relatively prominent example here, that is, the early Prime Minister Liu Yizhi.

Liu Yi was a bachelor from the North Gate and was originally considered a confidant of the empress, but he was killed on the eve of the Wu Zhou Revolution because he opposed Wu Zetian's command. Before he died, he would say "Why is it called an imperial edict without passing through the Fengge Luantai?"

People have different identities and positions, and they have different persistences. Liu Yi was lucky enough to be the chief minister and then he had to maintain the system of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and his subordinates. Although he was inevitable to die in the end, this statement can prove that he was wronged and not guilty.

The reason why Li Tong was able to set up the Gouyuan in one step this time was not opposed by the prime minister and ministers. One reason was that the Gouyuan dealt with new problems that the old system could not handle, and the other was that this matter was indeed imminent and was of great importance.

If these conditions were not present, there would be two or three people in the court who would make a fuss about their opinions, and even the Chief Xian, who insisted on principles, would have to resist the appointment.

The Tang Dynasty's official system was complete, and it was not a matter of comprehensive reform. Moreover, without real needs, there was no need to over-harm the already existing and operational system.

Whether it is the Privy Council or the newly established Gouyuan, Li Tong's main intention was not to establish a new institution, but to instill a concept in the court, which was to establish a court when encountering problems, sign a office, and bypass the original cumbersome tasks, reduce administrative costs, and improve the efficiency of service.

As for how many new administrative units such as the Court need to be set up, there is no need to deliberately pursue them. If you encounter problems, you will be put in the case of ministers and get rid of them. If you encounter the same affairs that are frequently generated, you will be considered as a permanent institution to be retained.

At present, the central system still needs to be adjusted, so the establishment, dismissal of the institute and the appointment of relevant staff are naturally in the hands of the saint Li Tong. In the future, the central adjustments and stability can be gradually allocated to the Political Affairs Hall.

After the morning court, the emperor returned to the Inner Court and summoned the prime ministers and the provincial officials of Taiwan in the Inner Court Yanying Hall to continue discussing affairs.

This situation can also extend a more important decision-making system in the middle and late Tang dynasties, that is, Yan Ying’s remarks.

During the middle and late Tang Dynasty, local vassal states were divided, central power was weak, and the emperor was often held hostage by eunuchs. The Zhengshi Hall, as the highest decision-making body for state government orders, had long been destroyed in name only. The emperor often summoned the prime minister and ministers in Yanying Hall to discuss and make decisions on state government orders.

In fact, this form has existed long ago. As early as the reign of Emperor Gaozong, he often summoned the prime minister to discuss matters in Yanying Palace. During the process of abolishing the king and establishing Wu Wu, Chu Suiliang strongly opposed the abolishing queen and angered Wu Zetian, and shouted "Why not kill this beast", which happened in this scene.

The reason why the emperor did not summon ministers in the foreign court or participated in the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall was either because of his lack of prestige and lacked complete control over the government situation, or because what he wanted to do was not in line with the public opinion of the court, and naturally he would not go to the home courts of the Foreign Court and the Political Affairs Hall.

Li Tong's situation does not belong to these two types. He is too authoritative, so he is lazy to pursue form. Yanying Hall is located in the inner court, and he can go home after talking about things. When he goes to the Political Affairs Hall, he has various cumbersome regulations. If he is not at his home court, he will not be comfortable and casual enough.

Of course, if you want to make such a story, you also need your subordinates to give you face. For example, Zhang Renyuan, who was shortly after last year, was not even invited to prepare a meal. However, now Zhang Renyuan is much more obedient, and he still feels disgusting when he sees barbecue.

Not to mention the situation of Yanying Palace’s memorial, the ministers from the outside court have not yet escaped from the shock of establishing the Gouyuan after the scattered court. Especially those officials of the relevant departments, their yamen halls have been blocked and there is nowhere to go, which is considered as having an annual leave in advance.

But it was not too happy to have a holiday early. The court suddenly came to this, which caught them off guard and many matters had not yet been completed.

Especially some officials who were not very clean were even more worried at this moment, worried about the problem being found out, and they were not sure how much the court's prosecution and punishment were so serious that they were worried and mixed.

As the Guanglu Shaoqing, Li Longji is also worried now. Although Guanglu Temple does not belong to the pure finance department, the food gardens are also very involved in this World Expo. Moreover, the daily affairs of Guanglu Temple are considerable and the amount of materials involved in the entry and exit of the daily affairs of Guanglu Temple are also within the scope of this check.

Li Longji's new official, and with a sense of crisis in his heart, he did not take advantage of his position to make a big profit. However, in order to please his aunt Princess Taiping, he also carried out some illegal operations. His subordinate Wang Renjiao took advantage of this east wind and also drew thousands of money.

These problems are generally not too big. Such a large amount of money can be said to be bothered by both hands.

Compared with others, Li Longji could even be said to be innocent. As far as he knew, Li Bei, the Duke of Cao, who was also the chief, made nearly a thousand jars of wine from Liang, and sold it as a household slave in the garden, adding tens of thousands of pieces to the deduction. As for more items, it is not clear.

Compared with some despicable officials, Li Longji's ambition was even more powerful and he was unwilling to defile himself because of mere money. However, in this turbid world, he could not guarantee his absolute innocence, so he was also very sad after resigning from the court.

After he walked around the Dragon Tail Road, he was about to leave the palace directly, and ordered his servants to inform Princess Taiping, Wang Renjiao and others to pack up and finish the finishing, but as soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw Cao Guozheng, who had been treating him more coldly, standing on the side of the palace gate, waving to him with a smile.

"Since the King of Linzi joined the party, all the members were busy with their positions and had little time to communicate with each other. Finally, I was kind to you and moved your affairs to other departments so that all the members I was in charge could get rid of their redundant tasks. If there was nothing else on this day, I might as well help me and gather in the garden for my colleagues in the department."

Duke Cao looked at the King of Linzi and said with a smile, raising his hand to make an invitation.

Li Longji saw that there was not only Duke Cao, but also several other officials in the Si Pin, standing behind Duke Cao, and he realized that he was planning to meet with his colleagues and unify his attitude. He was also troubled by this, so he nodded and smiled, "I really want to ask for it."

After the King of Linzi agreed to attend the banquet, the group did not leave the palace gate, because there was another important person, Xu Junchen, who was also the Guanglu Shaoqing, did not arrive.

But they waited for more than half an hour, but they had not seen Xu Junchen for a long time. Even the officials left behind at the other palace gates came to report. Duke Cao gradually became impatient and snorted coldly: "Xu is not in line with the public. It doesn't matter if this member is delaying the gatherings and entertainment for us."

After saying that, he got on the bus first and stopped waiting. Li Longji had a good impression of Xu Junchen. After thinking about it, he went up to ask about the place of the party, and instructed his servants to continue waiting, and then he got on the horse and left with his colleagues.

However, this group of people did not know that Xu Junchen, who had not been waiting for a long time, was now wandering outside the official office of the Secretariat Province, and kept looking inward. He saw that the Secretariat's clerk Li Jiao walked out of the yatang, so he hurried forward and took out a memorial from his body and said, "Does Mr. Li want to go to Jiying Hall to be a direct person? I have recorded a few current affairs and beg Mr. Li to offer his work on his behalf to wait for the imperial examination."

As the fourth-rank Guanglu Shaoqing, Xu Junchen has the right to report to the news, but the memorials required the pre-introduction of the Secretariat. At present, Li Jiao was outside the official office, so he naturally could not accept the complaint and did not accept the complaint when he saw this. He was about to turn around and return to the office, but was grabbed by Xu Junchen.

"The words here are quite serious and I dare not slow down, otherwise I will submit them along the road."

Xu Junchen's face was still a kind smile, but Li Jiao heard a trace of unusual meaning. After looking at Xu Junchen, a chill in his heart for no reason. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand to take the document handed over by Xu Junchen and whispered: "The Taoist can't be said to be a report. As for the saints who read it or not, they dare not make any suggestions."

"I understand, understand! I'm thankful for Bachelor Li!"
