Chapter 837 There should be laws above imperial power
After listening to Zhao Xing's concept of how to plan and build a city, Wang Lang, Liu Yao, Sun Shao, Ma Kang and others couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Zhao Xing's words were too advanced. Although he had tried his best to use words and concepts that people could understand and accept in this era, after all, there was no previous example to refer to.
Zhao Xing did not expect them to accept and understand immediately, but suggested that they discuss with the prefects of other prefectures and counties in Jin State to jointly agree on an action plan to promote urban construction and improve housing conditions, and find the best solution through continuous exploration and practice.
To be honest, Zhao Xing actually has no practical experience in this regard. He just put forward some ideas based on the experience of commercial housing construction in various countries in later generations. If he really wants to tell a specific Zi Chou Yin Mao, he would be a big shot on the shelves.
Zhao Xing was an amateur in urban planning and commercial real estate, but he had a deep memory of the "forced demolition" and "collusion between officials and businessmen" in later generations. So before commercial housing projects in various places began to start, he first established a very special institution.
The institution, which was personally founded by Zhao Xing, is called "The Enforcement of the Dahan Law and Supervision Office of the Dahan Law", which is similar to the combination of courts and procuratorates in later generations. Although Zhao Xing is only a king at present, he does not mind being an overthrower once and directly putting the institution as a Dahan hat. Anyway, once this institution is established in the future, it will be tied to the Dahan Empire and will continue to exist.
Zhao Xing was a rare undemocratic man this time, and directly put the hat of the president of the Supervision Institute, and then absorbed Tian Feng, Zhang Jian, Cai Yong, Chen Gong, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Li Ru, Li Jinsi, Ni Heng, Qin Yilu, Liu Jili and others as the first batch of veterans of the Supervision Institute.
Although Zhao Xing knew that it was a bit inverted to build the Supervisory Office team before formal legislation and constitutional amendments, the current situation could only be like this.--(He did not want to see many good systems and policies that seemed to benefit the people and facilitate the people in the end, and even became a tool for a few people to make huge profits and speculate.
The Supervision Bureau is temporarily under the supervision agency, including five subordinate institutions, including style correction, integrity education, audit, inspection, and anti-corruption. Among them, Tian Feng and Chen Gong serve as vice president, assisting Zhao Xing in handling daily affairs. Zhang Jian and Guan Ning work hard to correct and manage unhealthy practices in the officialdom in various places; Cai Yong and Ni Heng are responsible for conducting publicity and education on law-abiding, integrity and self-discipline, and reporting and exposing publicity and education; Liu Jili and Qin Yilu are responsible for reviewing the financial income and expenditure of government officials in various places; Li Ru and Li Jinsi are responsible for inspecting and supervising various places and conducting undercover investigations of illegal officials; Zhao Xing himself directly used the Shadow Force to conduct "anti-corruption".
Judging from the current list of personnel, there are still many problems. For example, letting officials like Qin Yilu and Liu Jili who manage wealth enter the Supervision Bureau, there are already the disadvantages of "thieves shouting to catch thieves". For example, Qin Yilu and Liu Jili should be the targets of key supervision and attention. However, Zhao Xing was very clear about the professional ethics of these two people, and he also secretly used his power to investigate their personal wealth. He found that although the two families were rich, they did not get rich by "filling their own pockets" and "damaging the public and benefiting the private", but were earned by their families like the wealth accumulation in the inner treasury in his own house.
Although the family of officials is prohibited in later generations, even if there are a few that are truly abide by in later generations? The first thing to do is to get a month. These two financial experts guide their family to do business after work and make some money is not a big problem. As long as they are not engaged in "land mergers" and "reselling approval documents" and other business operations, they cannot make the two "God of Wealth" families poor, right? Later generations also pay attention to "high salary to maintain integrity" and "sharing development achievements"?
In Zhao Xing's view, it was normal for his subordinates who followed him to "make a revolution" to get rich first in their family life. He didn't want to use the saint standards that he had not achieved to demand his subordinates, and he had to look at the general environment. As for the current situation of the Han Dynasty, if Zhao Xing honestly handed over the wealth he earned and the tax accumulated by various prefectures and counties to the central treasury, it would be just to send squandering and enjoyment to the emperor and those officials of the court.
The "Implementation and Supervision Office of the Dahan Laws and Orders" that King Pingxi personally took charge of was destined to have a high position and a huge responsibility that should be borne since its establishment. Because Zhao Xing had not yet become the emperor, he first gave himself a hat that could supervise the Dahan!
This sentence may not be clear enough. To put it more clearly, it is the institution established by Zhao Xing, which was aimed at restricting and supervising the imperial power from the beginning!
Although Zhao Xing could not really take a bunch of subordinates to Luoyang to grab the current emperor's braid, his actions were to lay the foundation for the future political structure. If one day, the Chief of the Supervisory Director was replaced by someone else and the descendants of the Emperor were his descendants, then at least the fighters of the Supervisory Director were confident that when the imperial power violated the law, they would have the courage to fight and correct it.
The unrestricted imperial power is too harmful. The rise and fall of many dynasties in later generations educated and alerted Zhao Xing with bloody facts. The reason why Chinese people like official positions and are afraid of being officials is because feudal remnants have been poisoning the Chinese people for thousands of years. Just imagine, if even the seemingly supreme imperial power has been restricted and supervised, then how could officials at all levels escape the fate of being restricted and supervised?
Zhao Xing has repeatedly thought about it over the past few years. The most effective way to avoid "death of a person and political rest" is to add a "bridle" to the imperial power from the beginning. If the emperor cannot do things that match the emperor's identity, or even seriously violate the laws of the empire, then he should get out and give up this important position involving the survival of the country and the nation!
Zhao Xing didn't think that his idea was idealism. He felt that there was no example of the emperor being impeached or dismissed in the history he remembered. It was because the people of the world were fooled from the beginning, educated to be obedient people, and brainwashed to say that the emperor was the spokesperson of God on earth. The emperor said something golden and jade words, and the emperor farted it was the dragon roar and tiger roar...
If from now on, he would strip the ugly nature of imperial power to the people of the world layer by layer, and completely subvert Dong Zhongshu's bullshit concept of "destroying all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" to serve imperial power. Through popular education, people of the world will know that the country is not a country of one person, but a country shared by everyone; people of the world will understand that the emperor is just the president of a country, not the master of everyone's destiny.
Then, Zhao Xing has reason to believe that in a few years, the probability of a baby becoming an emperor in this country, the woman following the politics, the relatives interfering in politics, and the eunuchs and treacherous people controlling the center of state power will be greatly reduced. Even if the democracy and rule of law in later generations cannot be achieved, it can at least avoid the huge disaster brought to the people by the change of dynasties.
Imagine if a baby who is still breastfeeding becomes a parent of a big family. What will the fate of this family? Imagine if the empress dowagers control the government affairs of a country when they are just serving men and don’t know anything. What kind of disaster will they bring to the country when the empress dowagers control the government affairs of a country? Imagine if there is no second child and they don’t know how to govern the government affairs of a country. What kind of disaster will they bring to the country when the eunuchs who do not even know how to govern the government affairs of a country?
Unfortunately, in the nearly four hundred years of history of the Han Dynasty, these three situations have occurred more than once. In the subsequent Jin, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing and other dynasties, similar stories are still being staged continuously, and every time such stories are staged, they will cause great disasters to the country.
