Chapter 5 New officials take office without burning fire
Although the Imperial City Department is located south of Zuo Chengtian Xiangfu Gate, there are many distributed tasks in the palace. After the Imperial City Department is suddenly removed, the palace will be affected. Chen Lin thinks that Ye An is crazy to think so.
Come up with this idea.
But Ye An said seriously: "If you want to do good things, you must first have sharp weapons. Eliminating Xiaoxiao is the top priority. Other things can be done later. In the process of investigation, something will be gained.
What's the harm in temporarily handing it over to the Palace Chief?"
Chen Lin frowned and looked at Ye An in front of her. This kid's ideas are always so unexpected, but now that he is the chief officer, and as the Imperial City's Superintendent, it seems that she can only obey his orders!
"Then please go to the signing room to sign the deposit. The governor will go to the palace to report to the officials!"
"Of course it should!"
Ye An calmly went to the signing room, while Chen Lin ordered someone to summon Cheng Gongshou and Xu Yongzhang. They were his confidants and people whom Ye An trusted. With them under Ye An's control, they would definitely be able to
Help.
What a brave boy!
After getting Ye An's signature, Chen Lin slowly walked out of the Imperial City Office and looked back at Ye An who had disappeared from the door. At this time, he felt that it was time for someone else to take charge of the Imperial City Division. With Ye An here, here
It will definitely become different.
The Imperial City Division has been deteriorating day by day over the years, to the point where it has been reduced to the point where officials need to use foreign ministers like Ye An to clean it up.
But it is undeniable that Ye An has extraordinary abilities and outstanding military talents. Look at the Xilie Army and the Huaiyuan Army. One is a fledgling new army, and the other is a frontier army that has been abandoned in the border state for many years. However, under his leadership,
In his hands, he became a presence that made foreigners in the northwest fearful.
It is a pity that Jiaosiluo and Qingtang were not included in the territory of the Song Dynasty according to his plan, but I heard that Qingtang's life was extremely difficult.
This boy... whether it is strategy or military use, he is superior to the generals and military ministers of the court. If he promotes the Imperial City Division, it may really change the appearance of the Imperial City Division that is gradually declining!
For Chen Lin, Ye An is also the best candidate to take charge of the Imperial City Division. Who else besides him can be so close to the Tian family?
As Chen Lin went to the palace to report to Zhao Zhen, Ye An also started taking action, signing the official documents of the Imperial City Department, but it was not as he had said to Chen Lin before that he would dispatch all the staff back to the palace.
Instead, the official office of Zuo Chengtianxiang Fumen issued a document stating that everyone should carry out their duties and business as usual.
The most taboo thing for a new official to take office is drastic reforms and self-examination. Not only is it not conducive to unity, but it is also likely to cause a crisis of trust. If this trust disappears, it will be even harder to make up for it.
To put it harshly, the soldiers and officials of the Imperial City Division are all working under their own command. If you don’t even have this little trust, it will be as easy as playing tricks on you.
As for asking Chen Lin to report to Zhao Zhen that the Imperial City Division needs to be sealed off for self-examination, that is also necessary. Only by letting the emperor know that there are no problems with his internal guards will he be able to let go of his hands in the subsequent governance.
After looking through various documents in the signing room, Ye An finally had a preliminary understanding of the Imperial City Division.
The Imperial City Division is not only responsible for the palace guards, but also has the power of spying and arrest, but it lacks the most important power, trial.
The Imperial City Division can arrest people and use torture to interrogate them, but they have no way to conduct trials. The trials must be transferred to Kaifeng Mansion or Dali Temple.
This was probably the best move when Taizong "reorganized" the Imperial City Division. In this way, the Imperial City Division did not dare to be too presumptuous. Otherwise, once Kaifeng Mansion or Dali Temple was acquitted, the Imperial City Division would be the unlucky one.
.
Not only that, the Imperial City Division even has its own military disciplines. Many of the contents of these military disciplines surprised Ye An: "There are seventy-two articles in the "Penalty Regulations", including: no drinking, no gambling, no
Forming a party, not allowed to abscond, not allowed to practice witchcraft, not allowed to raise poultry, etc."
Its purpose is self-evident, which is to strictly control the private contact between the Imperial City Secretary and the outside world and ensure the absolute loyalty of the Imperial City Secretary in the palace to the emperor.
But these things are still not enough in Ye An's opinion. If you want to make the Imperial City Secretary loyal to the Tian family, the most appropriate way is to let him return to his heart. The so-called return of his heart must not only be powerful, but also be kind. The kindness here refers not only to
Treatment, as well as subtle influences, such as "ideological and political" education.
Cheng Gongshou and Xu Yongzhang were a little worried. They didn't know what methods Ye An would use to rectify the Imperial City Division. After all, they had seen Ye An's ruthless actions in Liangzhou City.
At first, the policemen in the Huaiyuan army killed good people and took credit for their crimes, but Ye An's torture methods finally forced those few to bite their tongues and commit suicide in prison without fear of being punished again.
There must be something wrong with the Imperial City Division. In the past, they were all in the same pot, so it would be hard to watch them suffer.
"Master Marquis, let's show off the dignity we should have, but don't be too harsh. Brothers are all working for the emperor, so it is inevitable that they will be a little arrogant."
Ye An was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are the prince who wants the new official to take office three times, and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys? I am not that pedantic! Go and take the Imperial City Secretary who has been following Chen Daguan and has been to the northwest.
The officials are all looking for them, these people are trustworthy to me and will be of great use!"
Cheng Gongshou and Xu Yongzhang were slightly excited, saying this rr
There are not many personal subordinates in the Imperial City Division, only about 60 people, but these 60 people are not simple. They are in charge of opening and closing, cleaning, and guarding the subordinates.
"The method of keeping guards is to set up huts alternately outside the palace, which is more defensive; inside the palace, there are dedicated personal servants, who are the most intimate soldiers."
It can be said that these sixty people are Zhao Zhen's personal guards, and of course they are also the emperor's available people. Needless to say, their loyalty to the Tian family, otherwise Liu E would not have let them follow Chen Lin to Liangzhou Mansion to monitor Xi Lie.
Army and Huaiyuan Army.
After getting along with each other for so many years, it can be considered that Ye An knows the basics. Ye An will never do anything he is not sure of, nor will he hire people he is not sure of. These people who are close to the government are the best candidates.
"These documents are passed down from person to person, and they have various duties!"
Cheng Gongshou and Xu Yongzhang felt at ease after reading the document. What they feared most was the drastic reforms that Ye An would make just after he was promoted to Imperial City Secretary.
These soldiers of the Imperial City Division are not like the imperial army. They all have very bad tempers.
It's not yet time to reform the Imperial City Department. The most urgent task is to find out who brought the epidemic into the palace. After Ye An summoned his relatives and officials, he ordered them to start from Funing Palace where Liu E fell ill.
Find the person with symptoms first. Even if the person is dead, you must know all the information about the person in the palace.
The subordinate officials of the Imperial City Division have the right to pass through the forbidden area, and of course they also need to cooperate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Fortunately, Lan Jizong is the one who knows the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which makes it much easier for the Imperial City Division to investigate matters in the palace...
