To govern a country, you must first govern officials.

This is what the history of the rise and fall of thousands of years tells us.

The Song Dynasty attached great importance to this.

By the Song Dynasty, the central supervision system in ancient my country had developed significantly, and it had a leading role in the history of the central supervision system of feudal society in my country. It also had a significant impact on the central supervision system of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

The Censorate is one of the most important parts.

The supervision system of the Song Dynasty should be divided into two parts: the Censorate and the Censorate.

In this highest supervisory institution, the Censorate, the Director is the Chief Censor, and the Deputy Director is the Chief Censor, and the Deputy Director is the Chief Censor, and the Chief Censor is the Chief Censor, and the Chief Censor is the Chief Censor, the Chief Censor, and the Chief Censor. The Chief Censor is appointed by the Chief Censor, the Chief Censor, and the Chief Censor.

At the beginning, the censors of the Third Court of the Censorate had no fixed staff and no full-time positions. Most of them went out to serve as governors or general judges, and their positions were responsible by other officials.

In the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Zhenzong issued an edict again: "The censors of the Third Court shall be appointed in addition to the mission and outside the capital, and shall be appointed as the six officers."

Since then, the Censorate has established a system of commissions.

In the first year of Tianxi of Emperor Zhenzong, the Censorate also set up six censors (i.e., censors) to be responsible for speaking, that is, to advise the emperor or to conduct consultations on the court.

When encountering "the imperial edict is not allowed, officials and officials are involved in personal affairs, they are suitable for handling mistakes, the punishment and reward exceeds the rules, the punishment and request are not conscientious, and the injustice is not extended", the censors can report to impeach them.

Ouyang Bian's supervisory censor belongs to the prosecutor of the Third Court.

To be honest, if it weren't for the position of the central bank governor, which controls the lifeline of the world's economy, the Censor was really considered to be high and powerful, Han Qi wouldn't have done too much.

Ouyang Bian and others did not stand up and talk to Ouyang Bian. First, they avoid suspicion, and second, they felt that Han Qi's actions were actually not too much.

The Censor is in charge of the Procuratorate and is responsible for inspecting the affairs of the Six Ministers and the Hundred Offices. The power is the most important among the Three Censors of the Censorate, and the supervisory agencies within the Six Ministry are under the jurisdiction of the Procuratorate.

Moreover, this position is usually appointed by the emperor himself, and the prime minister cannot recommend it. Therefore, the first thing Zhao Zhen could do to take matters was to adjust the power structure of the two governments and three departments.

Among them, there was a meaning of hitting Han Qi to monitor the appointment and removal of the censor. Fortunately, Ouyang Bian was demoted, otherwise he would have to be defeated.

Thinking of this, Han Qi is also a ruthless person. He is testing, but he has not really touched Zhao Zhen's weakness.

If Han Qi appointed his personal position as the censor, then Han Qi would inevitably be demoted this time.

Han Qi cleverly used Ouyang Bian, who was not in opposition to him, as the censor, which made Zhao Zhen not very good at taking the opportunity to play.

Although Han Qi was beaten, he did not lose anything. At least he took the position of the governor of the central bank.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Bian had to applaud the methods of these old politicians.

So sophisticated!

Zhao Zhen’s methods are sophisticated, but Han Qi’s methods are not much worse.

After figuring out these things, Ouyang Bian happily went to work.

Well... it may not be happy, but compared to the theory that Su Shi was plaguing with his heart at home, going to the Censorate can be considered leisurely.

Although the Censorate is a supervisory agency, the office office is not gloomy.

After all, there are some top literati here, but they are not appointed as military men or cruel officials as supervisors like other eras.

The Censorate is not only not gloomy, but rather quiet.

Because there are many tall cypress trees planted in the Censorate.

The reason why cypress trees are planted in the Censorate is actually because it is recorded in the Book of Han: Biography of Xue Xuan and Zhu Bo that there are cypress trees in Taichung, and thousands of wild crows live on it, so the Censorate is called "Wutai", also known as "Baitai".

Therefore, the Censorate of the Song Dynasty also made the same arrangement, planting many cypress trees in it, so it looked quite quiet.

Of course, people with ghosts in their hearts can feel that it is possible to be gloomy when they come in.

The Censor Zhongcheng of the Censorate is the top leader, and the Censor of the Taiyuan also knows miscellaneous matters as the second leader, assisting the Censor Zhongcheng of the Censor Zhongcheng to handle the affairs of the Censor Tai.

The chief officer of the palace courtyard is the attendant of the palace, with two people. In addition, the chief officer of the procuratorate of the palace supervision censor, the organization of the censorate is six.

However, the matters at the Censorate are numerous and complicated, so there are some officials called Lixing.

For example, the palace courtyard is called the Palace Attorney Censor Lixing, while the archival court is the Supervisor Censor Lixing. Adding the word "lixing" will probably lead to an internship and reserve cadres.

All the civil servants are not official officials and do not specify posts, which means that these civil servants do not occupy the position.

Ouyang Bian's subordinates include four supervisors, one is Li Ding, two is Cheng Yi, three is Yan Xun, and four is Huang Lian.

Cheng Yi is famous, so there is no need to say much. Most people don’t know about Yan Xun, but he has also left his name in the history of the Song Dynasty, and his life experience has three lines, which is amazing.

[Yan Xun, whose courtesy name is Yidao, Fengxiang is from Tianxing.

He was known for his knowledge for his youth and was promoted to the Jinshi class, and was also awarded the title of calligraphy and judging the subject.

He was promoted to the judge of salt and iron.

He sent Khitan and added Zhilongtu Pavilion to the governor of Zizhou.

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, he was transferred to the right censorship and changed to the two prefectures, and was promoted to the Taiping Palace of Shangqing, and died at the age of 79.】

In fact, it is amazing, but Ouyang Bian doesn't know him.

Who would know someone who only leaves three lines of words in history books?

Huang Lian is generally like this, and he is only enough to leave three lines of characters in history books.

However, Ouyang Bian did not underestimate them because those who could become censors were all future middle and senior officials. With their official positions and age, they were all future middle and senior officials of the Shenzong Dynasty.

The last one is Li Ding.

He himself is nothing extraordinary, of course, he is actually quite impressive, because he once served as the Chief Censor.

Most of us know that the Censor General, Kaifeng Prefect, Hanlin Bachelor and the Three Secretariat are the so-called four-person heads.

The fact that Li Ding was able to become one of the four leaders shows that he also has the potential to become the magistrate.

Of course these are all secondary. What really left him with his reputation in history was the Wutai poetry case he coined.

As mentioned earlier, because the Censorate is also called Wutai, the cases fabricated by the Censorate are called Wutai.

The Wutai poetry case targeted Su Shi and Su Dongpo.

Ouyang Bian came out of his home in the morning to meet Su Shi. Less than half an hour later, he met Li Ding, whose fate was intertwined, and felt the magic of fate.

Li Ding conspired Su Shi, but he was later conspired by Sima Guang for this matter, so-called heaven has reincarnation.

Li Ding could not see the specialness in Ouyang Bian's eyes, and came over enthusiastically to greet Ouyang Bian, but was quite invisible.

Because to a certain extent, Li Ding is Ouyang Bian's senior brother. He was learned from Wang Anshi when he was a child, which is why Li Ding firmly stood by Wang Anshi.

Li Ding is notorious in history, but if he passes through the fog of history and does not set a preset position, Li Ding may not be the so-called treacherous minister or bad person. There are also Lu Huiqing and others in similar situations.

There is also Cheng Yi who is equally enthusiastic. Li Ding is a brother of Ouyang Bian, while Cheng Yi is the same year as Ouyang Bian. This kind of relationship is also very precious.

As for Huang Lian and Yan Xun, like their status in history books, they also had no friendship with Ouyang Bian. Seeing colleagues Li Ding and Cheng Yi greeted Ouyang Bian enthusiastically, they couldn't help but feel a little savory.

But Ouyang Bian did not favor one or the other, and also treated them equally. In order not to make them feel neglected, he also deliberately led the topic and introduced them into the conversation.

Except for Cheng Yi, who knew Ouyang Bian's style of dancing in the same year, the other three were secretly amazed.

It is rumored that the top scholar became famous at a young age and held great power at a young age. It is believed that he was successful at a young age. Even if he was a little domineering, it is understandable.

They were still thinking about being more psychologically prepared to tolerate Ouyang Bian, but they didn't expect that Ouyang Bian was so approachable.

Ouyang Bian is good at leading topics. From the conversations between several people, he figured out his personalities and became calculating in his heart.

Under Ouyang Bian's conscious guidance, the topic has always been very lively, which makes them feel great about Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Bian took advantage of the situation and proposed the invitation to dinner.

Don’t think that treating guests to dinner is a common thing. In fact, these are all real poor officials in the capital, and the future is expected, but their salary is given by middle and low-level officials. Then the Censorate is the Qingshui Office, which is so poor that the mice have to take a detour.

Usually when you have the opportunity to go to a restaurant, most of them are banquets in Taiwan. For example, the tail-fang banquets are considered welfare in Taiwan. Apart from these, there are very few opportunities.

After all, I am doing supervision work. If you receive food and invitations every day, others can use this to impeach you.

Yes, the Censorate can impeach all officials, and all officials can also supervise the Censorate.

Are you surprised or surprised?

However, Ouyang Bian had no such concerns when treating guests, because Ouyang Bian was their chief official. Although it cannot be said that the chief official treating guests was a convention, it did not violate the rules. If a subordinate hired a superior, it would be suspected of flattery and bribery.

Faced with Ouyang Bian's invitation, Li Ding and Cheng Yi agreed happily, but Huang Lian and Yan Xun were a little hesitant.

Li Ding smiled and said, "What are you hesitating about? This is the best time to have a big shot."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "In the same year of our term, who doesn't know our timely rain Ouyang Bian, now I have to add a word about God of Wealth, haha!"

Everyone laughed.
