Chapter 1236 Calm Cleansing

After talking about the establishment of the Great Xia Supreme Court, Ouyang Shuo turned to Jiang Shang and asked, "How can Mr. Ge solve the resistance against the elite?"

Because Jiang Shang has already manifested as Homo sapiens, but Ouyang Shuo doesn't hide anything.

"According to what His Majesty said, that Mr. Zhang has a son who also served in the Federation before?" Jiang Shang asked.

"good!"

Jiang Shangdao: "Since this is the case, then I suggest that your majesty can issue an edict to recruit him to serve in the imperial court."

Ouyang Shuo was taken aback for a moment, but then laughed, "Master Ge has a way, so we will act accordingly."

"Your Majesty is holy!"

…………

On February 25th of the seventh year of Gaia, under the strong promotion of Ouyang Shuo and the mediation of Jiang Shang, Zhang Liang, Wei Yang and other ministers, the Great Xia Supreme Court, which had been brewing for a long time, was finally established.

Ouyang Shuo personally inscribed "Emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people", which was carved into a stone tablet and stood in front of the main gate of the Daxia Supreme Court to demonstrate Ouyang Shuo's determination and will to implement the rule of law.

Centralization and dictatorship do not mean defying the law and undermining the rule of law. Ouyang Shuo has a clear understanding of this. The two have never been contradictory and antagonistic, and they can go hand in hand.

Under the premise of the rule of law, the implementation of dictatorship is the best explanation of the new generation of monarchy.

Such behavior is not only Ouyang Shuo's self-restraint, but also a kind of institutional restraint on the royal family, civil and military officials, and successors, so that they cannot be unscrupulous, so as to establish the foundation of the dynasty forever.

Throughout the five thousand years of China, a royal family that continuously centralizes power without any restraint, a dynasty that regards the world as the royal private property and treats the people like pigs and dogs, cannot maintain long-term stability.

The thousands of years of China's history is just a cycle of feudal dynasties. The whole society has basically made no progress, and even in a certain historical period, there have been several major regressions.

As a result, the magnificent China was torn to pieces by the Western powers that had risen for less than two hundred years.

What a painful lesson!

If it weren't for the extraordinary resilience and inclusiveness of the Chinese civilization, how could the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation be realized in the modern society in just a hundred years.

Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to learn from the lessons learned.

Ouyang Shuo will never be so arrogant that he thinks that he can recreate a feudal dynasty on Hope Planet by himself, and at the same time let this dynasty pass on forever and never wither.

He has not been dazzled by victory and corrupted by power.

The chief justice of the Supreme Court, Ouyang Shuo, appointed [Jingshi University] Law School Dean, Han Feizi, a master of Legalism, and one of the giants of Legalism, to be the second-rank official.

The post of dean of the law school will be taken over by vice dean Shen Dao.

As a master of legalism, Han Feizi was deeply involved in the drafting of the "Great Xia Law Code". Moreover, he is not interested in politics, stays away from politics, and upholds neutrality. He is the best candidate for chief justice.

In addition to the chief justice, there are four justices.

The five chief justices were all appointed by Ouyang Shuo himself. In theory, as long as Ouyang Shuo did not dismiss the chief justices, their term of office would be unlimited, until death or voluntary application for retirement.

…………

Although a lot of work was done in the early stage, the establishment of the Great Xia Supreme Court eventually caused quite a shock in the ruling and opposition parties, and the court fell into chaos.

It will take some time before the turmoil calms down.

In view of this, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to adjust personnel and make a purge, he was waiting for an opportunity.

As time entered March, the opportunity that Ouyang Shuo had been waiting for finally arrived. On March 3, Meng Tian led his troops to conquer South Sudan; on the 5th, Bai Qi commanded the army to conquer Kenya.

Da Xia's first military operation in East Africa achieved a great victory.

As soon as the news came out, the world shook.

Great Xia successively conquered the two countries in East Africa, which greatly stimulated the European and American dynasties. Without exception, they all stepped up the pace of aggression against the African continent, and the entire African continent was plunged into uninterrupted smoke.

Compared with the global turmoil, Daxia's aftermath work is methodical.

On March 10th, the imperial court issued an imperial edict to promote the North African tutelage to the African governor. Mu Lanyue, the former North African tutelary envoy, was naturally promoted to the African governor, becoming the third frontier guardian of the dynasty.

In addition, the provinces of South Sudan and Kenya were also established.

With the establishment of the two major provinces, a series of personnel adjustments followed, and this was the opportunity to cleanse Ouyang Shuo had been waiting for for a long time.

The officials who were blacklisted during the court turmoil were kicked to the African continent by Ouyang Shuo.

By imperial decree, Pei Yun was dismissed from the post of Director of Civil Affairs and transferred to Governor of South Sudan Province. Pei Yun seemed to have been promoted from the third rank to a member of the third rank, but he was sent down from the center of the imperial court to the remote African continent, ascending and descending secretly.

This was also Ouyang Shuo's blow to Pei Fan.

It was Mr. Zhang's son Zhang Bangxin who replaced Pei Yun as the Director of Civil Affairs.

Previously, Ouyang Shuo adopted Jiang Shang's suggestion and extended an olive branch to Zhang Bangxin. This man is really not as patient as his father, so he was very moved by this, but he just had scruples.

After repeated invitations by Ouyang Shuo, he finally agreed to take up the post of Director of Civil Affairs.

Zhang Bangxin's leap from an "outsider" to a high-ranking member of the imperial court really made people envious. Ouyang Shuo did this, on the one hand, he wanted to pry open the door of the elite class, and on the other hand, he wanted to buy bones with a lot of money.

Ouyang Shuo didn't believe it. With Zhang Bangxin making a good start, others would not be moved.

In this way, centering on the position of Director of Civil Affairs, Ouyang Shuo not only beat the Pei Clan, "exiled" the troublemaker Pei Yun, but also bought the hearts of the elite, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Even Jiang Shang was amazed by this.

The Imperial Court decreed that Cao Shen was removed from the post of Governor of Yunnan and transferred to the Governor of Kenya Province. There is no doubt that Cao Shen is the governor of the province who is the most troublesome among the local officials.

Afterwards, Ouyang Shuo also analyzed why Cao Shen had the guts to impeach Jiang Shang, the chief minister of the cabinet, and his words were fierce and pungent.

At the end of the day, there are two.

First, Cao Shen was the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, and he still adhered to the saying that "the punishment cannot be punished by a doctor" during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so he instinctively opposed the establishment of the Supreme Court of Daxia.

More importantly, I'm afraid it's the second point, that is, Cao Shen is proud of being the most capable assistant of Bai Hua, the current Southern Border Protector, in the old department of Lingxi City.

Otherwise, so many ministers don't understand why Cao Shen, a person who is not violent in nature, dares to have such courage to discuss the court's major policies? !

Cao Shen is afraid that he has forgotten who pushed him to the position of governor of Yunnan.

If it wasn't for Bai Hua's face, Ouyang Shuo would not only have dispatched Cao Shen to Africa this time, but would have pushed Cao Shen to the end and told Cao Shen to leave, so as to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.

It was Pei Ju, the former governor of Somalia, who succeeded Cao Shen as governor of Yunnan.

Pei Ju also came from the Pei Clan, and was one of the most representative figures of the Pei Clan. It was really incomprehensible for Ouyang Shuo to suppress Pei Yun and promote Pei Ju at the same time.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

For one thing, even to avoid suspicion, Pei Ju had to leave Africa, otherwise Pei Ju and Pei Yun would both serve as the governor of the African Protectorate, and there would be a big problem.

Second, in this turmoil, no matter whether Pei Ju was truly far-sighted or hidden deeper than Pei Yun, all in all, Pei Ju did not stand up to make trouble.

For Ouyang Shuo, this is enough.

In addition, Pei Ju was originally a former minister of the imperial dynasty. He had served as the governor of Guilin, the governor of Xingzhou, and the governor of Somalia.

This can also divide the Pei family, so why not do it.

As for the vacant governor of Somalia left by Pei Ju, Ouyang Shuo did not appoint anyone to take the position, because the imperial court had already decided to merge Somalia Province into Ethiopian Province.

Great Xia's expansion in the African continent has only just begun, and it will conquer one country after another in the future. It is impossible to say that every time a country is destroyed, a province will be established, that would be too bloated.

Therefore, reasonable mergers are the general trend, just like the strategy implemented by the imperial court in southern Xinjiang.

In addition to appointments at the governor level, in order to supplement the newly established provinces of South Sudan and Kenya, the imperial court decided to transfer a group of officials from the imperial court and the provinces to supplement them.

There is no doubt that a large part of these officials who were transferred were the spoilers in this turmoil, and they were all sent to the African continent.

Because this kind of adjustment is very obscure, it is difficult for outsiders to see the tricks from it.

As for those officials who were "assigned", some should know it well, even so, they can only obediently obey the transfer order, otherwise, they will not even think about gaining a foothold in Daxia.

For those who disobey the order, the "Great Xia Law Code" has express penalties.
