We really need such a government office.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao said, "Can the Dongtang Jinyiwei be used?"
When Zhao Bingzhong heard Zhu Youxiao's words, his face suddenly became serious.
If the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were allowed to interfere in the secret report, things would definitely become very bad. This was not the original intention of setting up this government office.
Zhao Bingzhong then said with a serious face: "I think it is not possible."
If the East Factory and the Imperial Guard are to be used to investigate, I think it would be better to send an imperial envoy. The Imperial Guard is a crude and unsophisticated force, unfit for serious service; and the East Factory eunuchs are greedy and cowardly, not good officials.”
Zhao Bingzhong's words were very impolite, and his meaning was very clear, that is, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang were all minions of His Majesty, and these people had no sense of justice. On the one hand, they were greedy for power and money, and on the other hand, they were narrow-minded and had no way of accomplishing anything big.
In a word, Zhao Bingzhong simply looked down upon the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Zhao Bingzhong's words made Chen Hong on the side feel a little embarrassed. After all, Zhao Bingzhong was not only talking about the East Factory, but also included all the eunuchs in it.
How could it not be embarrassing to hear this?
Zhu Youxiao was not angry, but rather expected it. Zhao Bingzhong was just that kind of person. If he hadn't told the truth so bluntly, he really wouldn't have dared to use him.
Zhu Youxiao then asked, "Then, according to your opinion, what should we do?"
"I believe that a yamen should be established under the Tongzhengsi. If a local official secretly reports corruption, this yamen will send people to investigate. After verifying the facts, they will return to the capital to report on the matter. At the same time, the criminals will be arrested and brought to the capital for interrogation."
"Who will interrogate him?" Zhu Youxiao asked Zhao Bingzhong.
"I think it should be handed over to the Dali Temple." Zhao Bingzhong said expressionlessly.
This was not because he was flattering Zhu Youxiao, or because he had any other ideas, but because he really thought so in his heart.
Zhao Bingzhong continued, "The Tongzhengsi is responsible for investigations, the Dali Temple is responsible for interrogations; as for the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they are responsible for supervising and interpreting Ming Dynasty laws."
"I believe that this is the only way to ensure checks and balances and reduce false and wrongful convictions. After all, the purpose of supervision is to make the honest even more honest and to severely punish corrupt officials."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhao Bingzhong and felt a little sad.
Who said there were no talents in the Ming Dynasty? This is one of them!
How advanced is this idea?
How appropriate is this approach?
"Once this method is implemented, I'm afraid you will become the target of public criticism." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
First of all, this will make officials panic. No one knows when they will be sued. Moreover, the investigation will be conducted in secret and in an independent government office, so you can't get involved even if you want to.
How could officials not be afraid? How could they not be panicked?
After being frightened and panicked, they naturally want to get rid of this system, and attacking the leaders is the most appropriate way to do it.
Killing Zhao Bingzhong would solve a big problem.
If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised it. This is true in every era.
In addition, Zhao Bingzhong's actions are also stealing the power of many people. First of all, the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate will definitely not like Zhao Bingzhong's behavior. Isn't this a naked attempt to grab power into one's own hands?
Moreover, the power he took away belonged to the Dali Temple, the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice, which would also make him a target of public criticism.
Even after this policy was passed, the Tongzhengsi became a place that other government offices could not interfere with, and even the cabinet had no way to interfere.
After all, secret memorials were not sent to the cabinet, but directly to the emperor, so the Tongzhengsi and others also seized the power of the cabinet in disguise.
From this perspective, Zhao Bingzhong would naturally become the first to stand out. Under such circumstances, his life would be difficult.
People in official circles disliked Zhao Bingzhong and would stay away from him and impeach him.
In addition, Zhao Bingzhong's reputation will plummet, and labels such as cruel official and treacherous minister will be put on his head one after another, and they will not be taken off for a while. They will even be written into history and will be fabricated by countless people.
After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhao Bingzhong's expression did not change at all.
In fact, before Zhao Bingzhong did this, he had already thought about these things and was mentally prepared. If not, he would not have raised this suggestion at all.
Moreover, Zhao Bingzhong also knew that after doing this, he was also competing for power with the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
These two yamen are not easy to deal with, especially the eunuchs in the East Factory. If you are not careful, they might impeach me in front of His Majesty.
The reason why Zhao Bingzhong did this was, on the one hand, because he was willing to do so, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the world, and to realize his own ambitions.
Even if it didn't end well for him, Zhao Bingzhong was willing to do it. Officials have their ways and their ways, and he was willing to do it.
Another very important reason was that Zhao Bingzhong trusted His Majesty. He believed that His Majesty was a wise and enlightened ruler who knew the benefits of doing so and would help and protect him, so he was willing to give it a try.
"For Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty, I am not afraid of life or death, and I don't care about my reputation!" Zhao Bingzhong said with a bow.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhao Bingzhong and nodded slightly, feeling a little proud in his heart.
Did you see it?
Did you see it?
After sweeping away those members of the Donglin Party, people who dared to take action appeared in the court!
Starting from Zhao Bingzhong, these people are the foundation for the future prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Youxiao suppressed his excitement and said directly, "I approve. I also allow you to establish this government office. Go back and write a charter. How will the personnel be deployed? How much silver is needed? Report everything to me, and I will approve it when the time comes."
