The rise of the poor

Chapter 570

Before leaving the Imperial Academy to go to the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Bo, the editor of the Imperial Academy, stopped Zhu Pingan, poured Zhu Pingan a cup of tea and handed Zhu Pingan a gift list.

Looking at Zhu Ping'an's puzzled expression, Zhang Bo smiled slightly and explained, "Before Ziwei leaves, please let me help you with your human relations. This gift list is for our Imperial Academy during your vacation."

Human relations?
Zhu Pingan was startled for a moment, and then he understood that a relationship is a gift, no matter in ancient times or now, how little is there in the officialdom, and there is no indecent relationship, these are the unspoken rules in the officialdom up.There are many "rituals" in ancient officialdom, including congratulatory gifts, festival rituals, thank you, etc. I have ignored this point, but Zhang Siwei is worthy of being from a family, and he has considered all these things in advance.

"Brother Zhang is in trouble." Zhu Pingan took the gift list and thanked Zhang Bo.

"It's just a little effort." Zhang Bo shook his head and smiled.

Zhu Pingan glanced at the gift list after thanking him, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, there are really many names.Zhang Bo's list of gifts is very detailed: Yuan Wei added a son, one liang; Zhang Song's routine inspection, two liang;Remarks later: Except for Li Shangshu who does not accept it, Yu Xie accepts it.

Well, it has only been more than half a month and I have taken six taels of silver. If it wasn't for Li Mo not accepting the gift, it would have been more than ten taels.No wonder so many officials think that the salary is not enough, this kind of people please come and go, let alone the official salary of Ming Dynasty is not high, even if it is higher, it is not enough to exchange favors.

Of course, if the official position is high, he can definitely benefit a lot from this unspoken rule of human relations.Human relations are often a disguised power-for-money transaction.Perhaps, there is a golden house in the book, which is largely related to it.

When they first entered the officialdom, their official position was low, and most of them gave a lot of gifts to make ends meet; when they got a high official position, why didn't they use the unspoken rules to recoup their capital or even make a fortune.

Corruption is often the next step in human relations. Some officials fall into corruption with the fallacy that human relations are not considered corruption. After officials become corrupt, the decline and corruption of Ming Dynasty is inevitable.

I can't get used to it, but it doesn't matter.

This unspoken rule is not something I can break now, so I can only follow the trend for the time being.

After leaving the Imperial Academy, he touched his empty purse. Zhu Ping'an felt that it was time for him to find a way to make money. Although he still had a lot of savings, he couldn't help it in the long run.

The Imperial Academy is not far from the Ministry of Punishment. Zhu Pingan arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment within a few minutes after leaving the Imperial Academy. The Ministry of Punishment is different from such an important institution as the Imperial Academy. Convict the case and manage the prisoners.The yamen of the Ministry of Punishment is more imposing than the Imperial Academy, and the tall stone lions and vermilion lacquer gates make people feel awe.

There is a pair of mahogany couplets hanging in a prominent position at the door, "Powerful ministers must not take grievances as the basis, and the emperor must not take happiness and anger as the priority."

Zhu Pingan glanced at the couplet, curled his lips in disdain, the couplet is a good couplet, and fits the positioning of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but it is too idealistic, and the judiciary cannot be truly independent of politics in modern times, let alone the feudal Ming Dynasty.

It's just a facade!

Zhu Pingan slandered, then stepped up the steps and entered the gate of the Criminal Department.

"My lord, please stop. I don't know what your lord's purpose is when you come to the Ministry of Punishment. I want to report to you." As soon as Zhu Pingan entered the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, he was stopped respectfully by an official in a low-level official uniform. He is the official in charge of registration at the entrance of the criminal department.

Hearing this, Zhu Pingan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and bowed slightly to the officials at the door to return the salute.

very young!
The official in charge of registration at the gate was amazed when he saw Zhu Ping'an's appearance clearly. He is already a sixth rank at such a young age, and his future prospects must be limitless.So, I became more respectful to Zhu Pingan, moved a chair for Zhu Pingan, asked Zhu Pingan to sit down and register, and poured Zhu Pingan a cup of tea.

"I'm coming to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to make a statement." After Zhu Ping'an put his name on the visitor list, he asked, "I don't know where to go?"

Zhu Pingan!
The official in charge of registration at the gate saw the name registered by Zhu Pingan, and the respect on his face suddenly faded. He had heard the name Zhu Pingan a lot these days, and the Ministry of Punishment issued three reminders. , How could he not know it?

Pity!
Such a young, promising and promising number one scholar is about to become history.

These days, the three impeachment memorials have caused a lot of commotion in the capital. There were also memorials to impeach Mr. Yan Ge in the past, but it is rare to impeach Mr. Yan Ge with three memorials, so the commotion is much bigger than before. many.This official is only responsible for the registration of the Ministry of Punishment. His work is simple and he has a lot of free time. If he has nothing to do, he just reads the mansion report and so on. Of course, he will not pay attention to such a big movement of the three memorials.

Elder Yan Ge is less than one person and more than ten thousand people. Isn't it too long to impeach Mr. Yan Ge?

The owners of the other two of the three memorials have verified it. They will be sent to jail, dismissed from official positions, demoted to civilians, and their lives will be over.

The owner of Zhu Ping'an's memorial is naturally no exception.

I'm about to become a commoner. Although I'm not in the top class in the Ministry of Punishment, I'm still an official. Why should I be respectful to you, who is about to become a commoner.

"Turn left after entering the door, the second door, no delivery."

The official in charge of registration said coldly, reached out and took the hot tea in front of Zhu Pingan, sat aside and drank it by himself, without even looking at Zhu Pingan again.

Ha ha
Zhu Pingan looked at the actions of the official, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up. The other party was still respectful just now, but now after seeing his name, his attitude changed drastically. If he still doesn’t understand what’s going on That's weird.

Zhu Pingan got up and said thank you lightly, then entered the Ministry of Punishment and turned left as he said, and entered the second door with a reminder letter from the Ministry of Punishment.

When Zhu Ping'an entered the door, the topic of Zhu Ping'an in the Imperial Academy became more and more heated. Generally speaking, everyone was generally pessimistic about Zhu Ping'an.

"Zhu Zihou is still too young and impulsive. He actually impeached a general who shed blood and sweat for my Ming Dynasty, and he was promoted by the elder Yan Ge. Alas, what a pity." A Hanlin said with a little regret.

"That's right, Zihou is the number one scholar, and in the eyes of the Holy Master, his future is limitless, but he made a mistake and lost everything. It's a pity." The other Hanlin nodded and sighed.

"You said it's not good for him to impeach anyone, but the person promoted by Mr. Yan..."

"Zhao Jin, the censor of Yungui, and Zhou Mian, the doctor of the Ministry of War, have both been sent to prison and dismissed as civilians. I'm afraid Zihou will inevitably be dismissed as a civilian."

"Zihou is the first memorial of impeachment, I'm afraid it's..."

"That's not what he asked for. He won't know who he is after taking the first prize. I think he wants to be famous and crazy." Yuan Wei said to himself gleefully.In Yuan Wei's view, Zhu Ping'an is finished this time. When he learned of Zhu Ping's impeachment memorial, Yuan Wei was surprised at first, and then overjoyed.Originally, Yuan Wei was worried that Zhu Pingan would threaten his status in the Imperial Academy. Zhu Pingan was the number one scholar. ...It's all right now, it's really great news that he committed suicide.

Of course, not all Hanlins are like this, at least Zhang Juzheng is not like this. Zhang Juzheng who is sitting in the corner looks at the Hanlins who are discussing, showing disdainful eyes.
