There are incidents, handling, investigation, arrest

This overall process is not wrong. It is indeed not too late to repair the sheep, but why do you have to wait for the sheep to be lost before remediation? When a hole appears, wouldn’t it be more perfect?

Pei Min looked at the information of the sect in the treasury in the Censorate's treasury, and found sensitively: a large number of people were habitual criminals who had been suffering for a long time. They started from the beginning of small fuss, and started from the greedy little money, and gradually grew courage, thus stepping forward to the abyss of death. The harm of such people is long-lasting, but because it did not hurt the muscles and bones and did not cause extremely bad effects, the Censor's treasury was unaware of it. Until the public grievances accumulate and the harm to the country increases little by little. The paper can't keep the fire, and it was captured and convicted.

This will capture the culprit, which is naturally a good thing and will greatly please the people. However, the losses to the country and the damage to the people cannot be recovered. However, if we can realize it earlier and notice it earlier, the threats and hazards can be minimized.

Pei Min originally wanted to consult Cheng Xingzhan to see if he could establish an intelligence department, but then he thought, and felt that things were wrong and said to himself: "I have only been to the Censorate for ten days and I have noticed the disadvantages. Mr. Cheng has been working in the Censorate for ten years, so how could he not know this? They knew but did not reform. I think there is a reason. Yes, the Censorate has a very heavy authority. If he still has an intelligence agency, wouldn't it be the Jinyiwei?"

Thinking of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, Pei Min immediately shivered.

The Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei system had both advantages and disadvantages, just like a double-edged sword. The Jinyiwei did do many major things for the country, but due to excessive power, the Jinyiwei's misconduct also caused considerable harm to the Ming Dynasty, with both advantages and disadvantages. The key is that the existence of the Jinyiwei was due to the needs of the royal family. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty needed the Jinyiwei's knife to consolidate his power. Now unless Li Longji himself proposed to make a similar Jinyiwei to monitor court officials, what is the difference between asking for death?

In addition to strengthening the control of the Censorate’s intelligence, what other methods can improve the source of the Censor’s intelligence?

Pei Min thought hard, thinking about whether there was any system in the future that could be used, but suddenly thought of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but he was moved. He didn't know much about the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but he knew that before the Independent Commission Against Corruption, corruption was prevalent in Hong Kong, and after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the atmosphere in Hong Kong changed drastically, and achieved miraculous results in just a few years.

The status of the Censorate is similar to that of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. It is an organization that is directly responsible to the emperor, and the system cannot be copied. After all, there are obvious differences in modern and ancient times. However, their way of reporting and filing cases to protect the whistleblowers can be fully utilized, without having to set up their own intelligence agencies, so that all the people can be spysms, and give insiders a way to report, are they afraid that those corrupt officials will hide too deeply?

There is never a shortage of insiders in this world, but only a lack of ways to protect insiders, so that insiders dare not report. If you can find a reasonable way of reporting and effective confidentiality methods to protect the safety of the reporter, the Censorate does not need to be as passive as it is now, and you have to wait until the matter is big and everyone knows it to make the final conclusion.

Thinking of this, Pei Min found paper and pen to record what he thought. After thinking about it for most of the day, he wrote more than a thousand words in a row. After being satisfied, he came to Cheng Xingzhan.

"Old Cheng, I have written some things. Do you think it will work?" Pei Min did not hand over the writing to the Shangshu Province directly, but gave it to his boss. Cheng Xingzhan has been in the Censorate for many years, and many things are more experienced than he is a newcomer.

Cheng Xingzhan was extremely satisfied with Pei Min's recent diligence and was very friendly to him. He took what he wrote and asked him to sit next to him. Then he glanced at him. Cheng Xingzhan took the Quxing down to earth with his eyes. This small calligraphy is written in a very beautiful way and has gradually developed his own style. It is amazing."

He smiled and praised.

Following the content to the top, Cheng Xingzhan's originally smiling expression became serious and solemn. At first, he looked at ten lines of thoughts. After reading it every time, he looked from the beginning and then looked at him word by word. After reading it three times, he looked at Pei Min in a complicated manner and said heavily: "The Censor is going to put my Censor on the fire and roast it!"

Pei Min smiled and said, "Is there still a fear of fire to refine real gold? The Censorate originally focused on correcting the moral character of officials, picking up officials, and impeaching illegal acts. But the way of reporting in the Censorate is too old-fashioned, so it is forced to the extreme. The people dare not report it, and those who are familiar with the matter are afraid of being implicated and dare not report it. For some reason, except for the accurate implementation of the Censor's supervision of the Censor, the supervision of our Censor is almost equivalent to scratching the surface and not being implemented."

Cheng Xingzhan said in a deep voice: "Do you know the reason?"

Pei Min said without hesitation: "Of course I know that the Censor of the Censorate is responsible for the supervision of foreign officials. On the one hand, the dereliction of duty by foreign officials is very harmful and must be severely punished. On the other hand, the officials of other places are easy to cure and can be cured. However, Beijing officials are not like that. Beijing officials protect each other and form factions, and sometimes they are involved in their bodies. For some reason, everyone is tacitly punished and does not punish them. Only when the trouble is caused, my Censorate intervenes inquire. It is a disaster.

It has been completed, what is the meaning of intervening? Emperor Zhaolie of Han said that he should not do small good and not do evil, and do small evil. Small good is good, isn’t small evil? Evil is different? In the first day of my report, Mr. Cheng told me that the Censorate is not a place of the Nine Netherworlds, nor is it a place where cruel officials gather together, but to guide people to do something evil. That is the case, to indulge small evil and small mistakes into big evil, how can I do what my Censorate?”

Cheng Xingzhan pondered for a while and sighed: "What you said is not without reason, but this system is not easy to implement."

Pei Min smiled and said, "Our Censorate is directly controlled by Your Majesty, and no department has the right to intervene, even if the Prime Minister is like this. As long as Your Majesty supports you and as long as Your Majesty has the will to clear the court atmosphere, this system will not be difficult to implement."

Cheng Xingzhan thought about these days, and Li Longji's actions in the court, nodded in agreement, "That's true, you should submit a memorial on your own. When submitting memorials, remember not to violate the provisions of the Tang Law Commentary. Each person who sues and the recipients will be beaten forty. Do not treat the reporter as a criminal complaint, but anonymously report."

"Thank you Mr. Cheng to give me advice!" Pei Min smiled and bowed.

Cheng Xingzhan looked at Pei Min with a complicated expression. It can be imagined that if the things written by Pei Min are really implemented, the Censorate would become the target of fear for the officials in the court, but its position in the hearts of the people will rise up and become a place to ask for the people, with both pros and cons. However, the Censorate’s power is doing such a thing as offending officials, and they don’t care about offending more. If it can reverse the stains brought by Junchen in the past, it will be a good thing.

Pei Min went back and revised the memorial based on Cheng Xingzhan's instructions, and sent it to the Shangshu Province for approval by the Prime Minister.

The memorial was immediately caused an uproar when it was passed to the Secretariat. Prime Ministers from all walks of life expressed their opinions and made no comments.

Oppose that Pei Min is just a stubborn person and encourages the people to sue the officials. However, in agreement, he said that Pei Min opened up a wide range of ideas and used warning officials to be diligent and honest, and did not speak out to each other.

Yao Chong praised Pei Min's move and his opinions were not consistent. He directly submitted that Li Longji was ruled by Li Longji.

Li Longji was young and energetic. Compared to conservative, he valued Pei Min's innovation more. Even if it was not effective, it would not cause harm to the country. He agreed to the proposal. The Censorate issued a document, and the reporting office was placed in various places in Chang'an, and the reporting box was set up, and the Censorate arranged for officials to handle it.

The announcement did not cause much impact at first, as if it was like a rock sinking into the sea and had no effect.

When the people sued the officials, there was pressure in their hearts. On the other hand, the Censorate was as terrible as hell in the hearts of the people. They did not believe that the Censorate would plead for the people at all.

Until Li Xianfu's son rode his horse on Chang'an Street and injured the people, a troublemaker wrote an anonymous letter and sent it to the report box.

Pei Min asked someone to find out the facts and directly sealed the impeachment letter and handed over to Li Longji: Li Xianfu was incompetent in teaching his son, and he spit out his power and oppressed the people.

This is a trivial matter. Li Longji did not severely punish Li Xianfu, but asked Li Xianfu to deduct his salary for three months in three months and compensate the injured people for all expenses.

This small incident spread, but the court was full of fear and shock. It made the news from the Censorate easy and the decisive reaction of the matter calmly.

All civil and military officials value face, and the punishment is small, and the face is great. After returning to the house, all began to restrain their children, which made the yamen hate Pei Min to the core, and the atmosphere of showing off their power outside plummeted. After learning about it, the people's impression of the Censorate changed a lot in an instant.

After this incident, the credibility of the Censorate has increased a lot. From time to time, he would receive some small complaints. Pei Min arranged for people to find out, and after repeated confirmation, he would take corresponding measures.

Facing the Censorate who was persuasive in Chang'an, all officials in Beijing were cautious and cautious in order not to catch the Censorate.

On this day, Pei Min received another anonymous letter of report. The content of the letter of report was a bit ridiculous, and he sued the rich man Yu Yun to become a monk and evade taxes.

Pei Min was amused and laughed at the letter of report, and even felt a little ridiculous. Although the anonymous report arrested many illegal elements, some good people wrote some messy things to increase their workload. It was not the turn of the Censorate to take charge of tax evasion.
