Chapter 92
Inside Chang'an City
Li Hui, the governor of Wuyi County, Anping State, accepted Han Fu's order and came to Chang'an City.

This period is the season of spring planting, when people from all over the world come to Chang'an to report to the county, there are quite a lot of statistics on the county's specific situation in the previous year, and of course the thirteen prefectures have not yet sent anyone to report to the prefecture The specific situation in the country is just that scattered people from various counties and counties came to Chang'an.

Li Hui is one of them. Wuyi County of Anping State belongs to Jizhou. The current Jizhou Mu is Han Fu. However, Han Fu is discussing with Yuan Shao about establishing a new emperor. They think that the current emperor is young and far away in Chang'an. , Guansai separated, do not know life and death, Youzhou Mu Liuyu is the wisest in the clan, ready to support him as emperor.

However, after Han Fu and Yuan Shao heard the news of Dong Zhuo's death recently, they felt a little strange, so they temporarily stopped the move to establish a new emperor, and planned to send people to Chang'an to observe the situation, and Li Hui was one of them.

Li Hui arrived in Chang'an City on the afternoon of the day when Li Meng and Wang Fang withdrew. The guards at the south gate saw Li Hui's memo pad and the seal of Shang Ji's history, and then asked some specific questions. , such as why he went to Chang'an City, how long did he leave, etc. After confirming that there was no problem, he was let into the city.

Of course, from the moment Li Hui entered the city, the Northern Army in Chang'an City had already recorded it on the bamboo slips, and then passed the news to their superiors.

Li Hui looked at the peaceful appearance in the city, and he was a little shocked in his heart. He passed through many counties and counties along the way, and also spied on some other cities according to Han Fu's order, but there is no doubt that none of them are as peaceful as Chang'an City today. , Tranquility, as if these enemy troops he witnessed outside the city did not exist.

Li Hui did not go directly to Shangshu's mansion, but stayed in an inn specially provided for foreign officials. After all, when he came to Chang'an City, it was already Youshi, so it would be too impolite to bother Mr. Shangshu at this moment Got it.

Of course, everyone in the inn except for the foreign officials, including the shopkeeper, the waiter, and the chef are all arranged by Zhang Ming. On the one hand, it is to monitor the whereabouts of the foreign officials, and on the other hand, it is also quietly inquiring about what happened outside. matter.

"Little Er, serve the wine," Li Hui said.

"Yes, guest officer." Xiaoer said.

Li Hui looked around, besides him, there were some other officials dressed similarly to him, presumably they were all senior officials from various places, but he didn't know whether they came to report the specific situation of each county sincerely, or if they were like him. , just to inquire about the news in the city.

After Xiao Er served the wine, Li Hui asked the shopkeeper while drinking, "Treasurer, now there are enemy troops stationed near Chang'an City, why is the city still so peaceful?"

Generally speaking, when a city is besieged, the people in the city are panicked and their faces are full of fear, at least they are worried. After all, after the war, even if there will be no massacre of the city, looting and plundering will be unavoidable. For example, when Dong Zhuo marched into Luoyang, he allowed his subordinates to rob and loot, and even killed some civilians without paying attention.However, the people Li Hui saw walking up and down Chang'an City Street were very lively.

"Guest officer, you are from out of town, so you don't know the current situation in the city. Under the rule of today, the city is very safe. The Northern Army maintains law and order in the city. There have been no fights on Chang'an Avenue in the past two days." Xiao Er He said that he was full of reverence for the current emperor in his heart. When Dong Zhuo ruled before, the inn he was in was eaten and drank by Dong Zhuo's subordinates at will, and his attitude was extremely bad. Of course, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the business was very mediocre. , if the shopkeeper hadn't been kind enough to continue to open the store, otherwise he would have nowhere to go.

"But what about the enemy army outside the city? I took a look from afar and felt that there were more than one hundred thousand enemy troops outside the city. Aren't the people of Chang'an afraid?" Li Hui continued to ask, trying hard to find a topic.

"Not only that, there are 10,000+ garrisons in the east of the city, and there are also garrisons in the north and south of the city. However, the garrisons in the west of the city just withdrew today. I heard that the emperor sent envoys, and the garrison in the west of the city felt the kindness of the emperor, so they withdrew the army. Although outside the city Although there are many troops, but there are generals Huangfu and Lu in the city, and the emperor is there, the enemy outside the city is not sufficient." Xiaoer replied, he heard these things too.

Li Hui put down the wine glass in his hand, and some guests next to him also put down their bowls and chopsticks. They all pricked up their ears to listen to the exchange between the two. Who is not surprised by this, ordinary people in the city are actually so confident, which is not much See.

Li Hui communicated with Xiaoer for a long time, but Xiaoer was very busy during this time, so in order to get enough information, Li Hui wandered around drinking and eating. Unknowingly, the sky outside It's also a little dark.

After inquiring enough information, Li Hui walked up the stairs to the second floor, and then went into the room to get ready to rest. There was still an important report task to be done tomorrow.

Just waiting for these guests to rest at night, the accountant of the inn took a record and handed it over to the Northern Army guards in the city. You must know that this is an officially designated inn, and the information inside is all transparent.

Afterwards, the internal personnel of the Northern Army consolidated the information, and then continued to submit it to the superiors, step by step, until finally it was handed over to the commander of the Northern Army, and the commander of the Northern Army would also take these daily records to watch with Cui Ming. Then select the important content and report it to His Majesty today.

It can be said that through this method, Zhang Ming can already grasp most of the situation in Chang'an City without going through the court report. This has actually referred to the Jinyiwei system of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, but after all, it is only a preliminary reference. In fact, the problem is still not clear. Less.

The biggest problem is that the Northern Army does not have the right to judge, do not have the right to investigate and judge, so the so-called supervision has no practical significance, or the only meaning is to prevent the news of Chang'an City from being transmitted to the emperor's ears through hundreds of officials. In the middle, but rely on the way of guards to spread to His Majesty's ears.

As for the power of investigation and trial in the Han Dynasty, the prefects and county magistrates were in the hands of prefects and county magistrates, while in the central government, it was in the hands of Shangshutai. The only Shangshu was Yang Zan, who was from the Yang family. Ling, Shangshu Pushe, Shangshu Zuocheng, Shangshu Youcheng, and many other Shangshu servants are undoubtedly from aristocratic families, so in the short term, Zhang Ming is unlikely to replace the entire Shangshu system and install his own people.But he will not limit his eyes and ears to these families.

When later emperors gather power, they like to use this method of Li Daitao stiff to complete the transfer of power. From the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, throughout the feudal period, the emperor's power has been continuously strengthened, especially in the Qing Dynasty. The establishment of the emperor's power reached the peak of the feudal period.
