Mao Jie hated corruption very much, and even more hated this corruption that he would not let him know without telling it.

It's okay if you don't involve the people around you, but your problems are not big. If you involve the officials you personally summoned, then...

There will be a problem.

Because this means that Mao Jie couldn't even restrain the officials he summoned. Those people were not afraid of Mao Jie or worried about how Mao Jie was doing to them.

In fact, this is also reality.

Because Mao Jie, as the governor of the state of 3,500 stone, only had administrative power, neither financial power, nor military power, nor judicial power.

To use money, it must be reviewed by the branch of the Ministry of Finance in Liangzhou and reported by the central government.

Of course, Mao Jie himself avoided military power. Even Cao Ren dared not say that he had military power in non-war times, so he could not avoid it.

The judicial power does not belong to Mao Jie, but the legal officials in the prefecture are responsible.

After the founding of the Wei Empire, Guo Peng specially ordered the use of the judicial department of the central government to be stationed in the local area and not to be bound by the local chief executives.

Because the Law Cave belongs to the officials under the Central Ministry of Justice, and they are not actually in charge of each other, according to the procedures, Mao Jie has no ability to interfere in the judiciary.

According to this set of rules, it means that Mao Jie is the first to charge in the battle when doing things, and Mao Jie is the first to take the blame when something happens.

This is the embarrassing situation of the state governor after Guo Peng restricted his power.

The state governors have not yet raised any difficulties in this regard.

For example, Yangzhou Governor Gu Yong once lamented the difficulties of administration and asked Guo Peng to grant certain authoritarianism to intimidate local officials.

The governor of Youzhou Xian Yu Fu also submitted a statement, complaining that he was contradicted by his subordinates and had no majesty and was difficult to command the whole province. Please ask Guo Peng to take care of him.

All of these things, people who had made decisions on subordinates in the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty felt it was difficult to adapt to it, and felt that they were insufficient in power and authoritarian, and they were restricted in doing things, which was inconvenient.

But Guo Peng ignored everything.

You can do whatever you want, and it is your business to make things difficult for you. The officials naturally need to dance with shackles, and I only have one result - the local government cannot fight against the central government.

For this, it is not unacceptable to sacrifice a little bit.

The result of two evils being equal and taking the minority of the consequences.

Or it was after these governors made contributions that Guo Peng used this method to reward them so that they would not have to be so involved.

But no matter how much you reward, Guo Peng could not elevate the status of the state governor to the late Han Dynasty.

For the state governor, the power restrictions on county magistrates must be implemented and implemented.

There can no longer be a case of the late Han Dynasty where a county is a small warlord, and a state is a big warlord. How can a military, financial, human, and administrative power be completely handed over to one person?

Then this is not an empire, but a loose confederacy.

It’s okay to live, but you can maintain this state with your strong military prestige. It’s hard to say after you die.

Therefore, the power restrictions on high-ranking officials such as the governor must be very adequate.

Since it is done so well, if there is a problem of corruption in the local area, the responsibility of the state governor is actually superficial.

As long as this kind of thing is proved that it has no direct relationship with Mao Jie, and it is not his instructor, and the officials he summoned did not participate, then even if the officials in charge of money and judicial affairs were wiped out by the emperor, Mao Jie would be safe.

If the officials around him were involved in corruption and Mao Jie didn't know that, then Mao Jie himself was not considered a crime, would not be severely punished by the criminal law, his status would not be affected, and the administrative power would continue to be controlled.

However, Mao Jie has an irreversible responsibility for hiring people.

How to punish and how to give the local victims an explanation is the emperor's business.

This kind of attack from the political level is what Mao Jie is most afraid of. After all, he has reached the top of the local official as the governor of the state. The next step is to enter the central government and gain power in the world.

If the efforts to enter the central government were delayed for such a thing and could not get the emperor's approval to take control of the world's power, Mao Jie really had the urge to kill.

Although he can't and dares to kill people.

However, this is Guo's purpose. If a 3,500-stone official can suppress his subordinate officials, Guo will be worried.

It is also the idea of ​​Mr. Guo to keep the excuse to crack down on these territorial officials at any time so that they can not develop and grow, build their own political groups, and take root in the local area. This is also what Mr. Guo thinks.

The state governors can only exercise their power in such a situation, and lead the whole state forward with difficulty, develop construction, develop the economy, develop the human environment, and use the administrative power in their hands to do business.

Mao Jie certainly didn't know about this now, and of course he was very angry. He wanted to kill people with a sword and punish corrupt officials like in the pre-Han period.

Unfortunately, he no longer has that authority. Now he can only rely on Fa Cao to do such a thing.

Although Fa Cao is actually not restricted or intervened by the governor, Fa Cao often still needs the cooperation of the governor when handling cases.

So no matter what, Fa Cao would not choose to break up his relationship with the governor, so as not to make things difficult for each other when working in the future.

Everyone is here to be officials, why should we make things difficult for each other?

Wouldn't it be great if you do your administration, I do my law, cooperate with each other and do not interfere with each other?

The person in charge of the legal cathedral in the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion was named Zhao Xian, who was from Qingzhou and was born in a poor family.

In the early years, I received legal education from the Guo family in Linzi Academy. Later, during the Qing and Yan prefectures, I began to do legal work in a county, and my work performance was very good.

After Guo Peng annexed Hebei, Zhao Xian was promoted to the head of judicial officer of Wei County according to procedures. He did a good job and was highly praised.

Later, after Guo Peng ordered Cao Ren to advance the five eastern counties of Liangzhou, Zhao Xian was promoted to Liangzhou Law Cave and was responsible for the law enforcement work in Liangzhou.

Zhao Xian has always cooperated with Mao Jie in Liangzhou, punished many illegal officials and resolved many legal disputes. He is a very senior legal officer. I heard that he still has the prospect of being transferred to the Central Ministry of Justice.

Because of Guo Wei's special growth environment, many poor officials were appointed and promoted.

They were appreciated by Guo Peng, and they followed Guo Peng all the way, and made great contributions to him, and continued to grow as Guo Peng's power grew.

A considerable number of poor officials from the Qing, Yan and Ji prefectures who followed Guo Peng to do things very early also became senior officials of the Guo Wei regime, and their power continued to grow as Guo Peng's status grew.

The top of them are naturally the Cao family, the Xiahou family and the Qiao family.

Of course, we also need to consider a strange one among the strange ones that a businessman has no background at all - Mi.

These poor families were promoted and taken care of by Guo Peng and had great power. Moreover, Guo Peng was very willing to continue to use poor talents. The Imperial Academy also triggered a dispute between poor families and scholars.

Nowadays, there are a steady stream of poor talents who graduate from the Imperial College to serve as officials every year. The scholars are very unhappy about this, but they can't do anything, because there are indeed some positions that scholars and bureaucrats cannot take on.

Their numbers are not that large, and they cannot fill all the official positions of the entire empire. Especially after Mr. Guo added the second-level rural government for nothing, the scholars would not even think of dominating their official positions.

All they can do is to keep moving upward and strive for higher positions in order to occupy the upper class of the entire empire and dominate the upper politics.
