Soaring Aspirations

Chapter 849 – Soaring Aspirations

Wei Zheng's arrival meant that the Censorate that Ouyang Shuo was planning to set up had a person to lead it.

The Censorate was a monitoring organization set up during the Han dynasty. In terms of their role, it was similar to the Regulatory Department in the Internal Affairs Court. Hence, Ouyang Shuo, after discussing the matter with Jiang Shang and Kou Zhun, he decided for the Censorate to focus on monitoring the officials and ministers of the court while the Regulatory Department would focus on the local officials.

The Regulatory Department was under the Internal Affairs Court, and it had a low rank and could not have an effective power over the officials of the dynasty. Ouyang Shuo replacing Jingjian was a sign.
