The system of three provinces and six ministries developed over a long period of time until it was implemented in the Sui Dynasty and formally established in the Tang Dynasty.
However, the Sui Dynasty was too short-lived, so in a certain sense, the Tang Dynasty was the pioneer in promoting the three provinces and six ministries system.
Therefore, the three provinces and six ministries of the Tang Dynasty were actually not as sound as the later Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Many departments have functional conflicts, and there are also many idle offices.
What Li Chengqian wants to do this time is not only to promote his father-in-law to the throne.
Of course, what Jianfeng was referring to were also these chaotic departments.
And now.
He also took the lead in talking about Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.
"first!"
"Dali Temple definitely needs to be preserved, and the Ministry of Punishment certainly cannot be replaced."
"But it is necessary to establish functional yamen among them."
"The department responsible for administering the laws enacted by the imperial court is called the Judicial Yamen."
"The ones responsible for managing the yamen and various cases across the country are called the public prosecutor's yamen."
"The Dali Temple also needs to undergo rectification and reform. From the beginning, it only accepted cases from nobles or officials to high-level cases."
Hear this.
Li Shimin frowned, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "What is a high-level case?"
This was the first time he heard this word.
But Li Chengqian did not hesitate and said directly: "There are many kinds of so-called high-level cases."
"The first is after the trial at the lower level yamen."
"If the plaintiff or defendant is dissatisfied, he or she can appeal to Dali Temple for trial."
"If Dali Temple feels that there are no problems with the case, it can directly dismiss it. If there are problems, it can directly proceed to trial."
"The second type is people or cases with higher status that ordinary yamen cannot conduct normal trials."
"For example, the previous rebellion of Duke Yun is a clear example."
"If this was handed over to our Chang'an City government office, no one would dare to get into trouble directly."
"But it's different when it's in Uncle Wei's hands. He'll make it clear in just a few tries."
"And this is also the original function of Dali Temple, so it is only a simple optimization here."
"The most important reform is the joint trial of the three agencies!"
Li Chengqian said: "If there is a major case, or a particularly major case."
"The Dali Temple can join the main officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Yushitai to sit in the court and conduct the trial."
"This will not only improve the accuracy of the case, but also convince all the people and prevent others from saying that the court officials are protecting each other or favoring one party."
"Trial by three departments..."
Li Shimin rubbed his chin and murmured: "This is a good idea, are there any more?"
"have!"
Li Chengqian said: "Father, do you still remember that many years ago, you discussed with your son how to manage the officials in the world?"
"Um."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Do you have any new ideas about this?"
"yes."
Li Chengqian said seriously: "Our previous policies were mainly aimed at the fact that the world has begun to see peace, and there are still many unrest that have not been resolved."
"So the management of some officials is still a little looser."
"Here, I want to ask my father to create a position in the Ministry of Justice!"
"What position?"
Li Shimin asked casually.
"Governor of Kyushu!"
Li Chengqian raised his eyes and said to Li Shimin.
"Governor of Kyushu?"
Li Shimin asked in confusion: "What is this for?"
"As the name suggests."
"The governor of Kyushu is to patrol Kyushu."
"Specialized to supervise the performance and discipline of officials for the imperial court."
"To a certain extent, he is equivalent to the eyes of the court and the emperor looking directly at the people."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said: "And this position is also mobile. This year I will be in Guanzhong Jiuzhou, next year I will go to Hebei Jiuzhou, and then I will go to Jiangnan Jiuzhou. In this way, I can fundamentally put an end to deception. "
