Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

The prison car enters Beijing,

This time it wasn't a group of students who were escorting them, but a large number of Jinyi Wei Tiqi, and the prison cars attracted people in the capital to watch:

"Which official is this? Also, there are quite a few people in scarlet robes!"

"This is an official from Jiangnan, right? Didn't the imperial court go to Jiangnan to arrest people a few days ago?"

"Yeah, I heard that Jiangnan is dead, the emperor and his old man are furious, and Jin Yiwei will not be allowed to arrest people."

"A good catch! A good catch! It was because of these corrupt officials that we had no way of life before. If it weren't for the emperor's sages and the support of the chief minister to promote the New Deal, would we small people like us be able to live today?"

"All these corrupt officials should be beheaded!"

"Look, this is a grand event that can only be seen in the Taizu years!"

"Indispensable, my second uncle's third uncle's family's Xiao Chunzi is working in the palace. He said that the emperor has ordered that none of these people can escape, and they all have to lose their heads!"

"Okay, okay! According to me, those students are capable people. If this really restores the prosperity of the Hongwu Dynasty, that would be great!"

The people's comments reached the ears of Wei Guangwei and Huang Liji who were drinking tea in the teahouse. They sighed and their eyes were full of worry.

Now the common people actually want to restore the Hongwu ancestor system and use the people to supervise the officials. At that time, the world may really be in chaos!
"Did you hear that, these people need to supervise all officials! In this way, all officials are in danger, how can the court continue to operate?" Huang Liji couldn't stop sighing, these ordinary people should work hard Tian Zhibu provides taxation.

The supervisory officials have their own censors to do it. What are you common people messing with?

Wei Guangwei also frowned: "Supervise hundreds of officials, supervise hundreds of officials, there is not enough censors, and there are Jinyiwei, East and West factories, and now the common people still have to supervise, why is it so difficult to become an official?"

"All the people from all over the country have gone to supervise the officials. What kind of chaos will Daming be like?"

Huang Liji said: "The next court meeting must be made clear to the emperor. This head cannot be opened. Otherwise, today some students will instigate the people to attack the county government and arrest the county magistrate, and tomorrow there will be people with a heart to launch a mob to rebel. This kind of head is opened." , the world will be chaotic.”

Wei Guangwei was a little hesitant: "Of course we have to make a statement, but if Zhang Haogu opposes us."

Thinking of this, Huang Liji couldn't help but get a headache. These days, the old and the new parties are engaged in a fierce debate on materialism and new Confucianism. How is it possible for them?

In desperation, Huang Liji said: "I'll go and see Zhang Haogu. After all, the people's supervisory officials are too appalling. By then, all officials in various places will be in danger. How can the Ming Dynasty not cause chaos? ?”

"Although Zhang Haogu is not the Donglin Party like me, he is also loyal to the country and should be able to understand our difficulties."

Wei Guang nodded slightly: "This is the only way to go now."

That night, when the cabinet ministers got off work, Huang Liji stopped Zhang Haogu: "Yuanfu, can you stay for a while?"

Zhang Ruitu, Lu Xiangsheng and others looked at Huang Liji in surprise, Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Everyone go home first, Mr. Huang Ge invites you, how can I not stay?"

After the crowd dispersed, Huang Liji first sighed, and then said, "Yuanfu, I'll get right to the point."

"Nowadays, the public sentiment is turbulent. The common people want to supervise the officials and restore the Hongwu Dynasty system. What does Yuanfu think about this matter?"

Zhang Haogu was silent for a moment: "The common people supervise all officials, there are good and bad."

Seeing that Zhang Haogu's tone was not firm, Huang Liji breathed a sigh of relief. He continued, "Yuanfu, today a group of students and the people can rush into the county government office and arrest the county magistrate. If you are dissatisfied, you directly encourage the people to flood into the county towns and county towns to besiege the government offices, and to arrest the officials instead of the court, so what should we do?"

"Yuanfu, this case cannot be opened."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Mr. Huang Ge is worrying too much. If the government is right and the people are happy, how can they surround the government?"

"If it really happened that the people besieged the government office in this place, then there must be something wrong with the local government. It is also a good thing that the people will check and make up for the gaps for the court."

Huang Liji asked again: "What if someone with a heart wants to incite the people to attack the government?"

"For example, those who fled to Liaodong, if they come back and incite the people to riot, besiege the county government, arrest the officials, and there will be chaos all over the world, what will happen?"

"Do you persuade the people to leave with good words, or send troops to suppress them as a mob?"

"Yuanfu, today the students can lead the people into the county government office to arrest a county magistrate, who can guarantee that they will not incite the people to surround the government office tomorrow? If the imperial court does not stop it, then if there is any policy in the future They are dissatisfied, so what if they lead people to parade in the capital and surround the palace?"

"Yuanfu, the students are full of enthusiasm, and it is a good thing to serve the court. But these students are young and are being used by others."

"Now that something like this has happened, not to mention all the prefectures and counties in the world, even all the officials in the capital are in danger and fear. Although the emperor is kind and does not pursue some small mistakes in the past, if these students are passionate, they will definitely do it for them. What about eliminating harm in the country?"

"Today we are motivating the people to attack the county government, but tomorrow we will just do justice for the heavens?"

Zhang Haogu remained silent.

Huang Liji took the opportunity to say: "Yuan Fu, the old man is not targeting those students, they are indeed for the court, but should this behavior be improved?"

Zhang Haogu nodded slightly: "Old Huang Ge's words are not without reason."

Huang Liji said: "The old man will leave first."

After Huang Liji left, Zhang Haogu sat on the couch and didn't get up for a long time. How could he not consider the problems Huang Liji said. Throughout the ages, those young people who are passionate and righteous have been taken advantage of Are there few examples?
How many passionate young people who are for the country are used by those who want to, and become knives in the hands of others.

"Yuansuke?"

Huang Zongxi's arrival awakened Zhang Haogu.

Zhang Haogu got up slowly: "Oh, it's too rushing."

"It's all right, go back and rest."

Huang Zongxi smiled and said, "Yuanfu, the students are on duty today."

Zhang Haogu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I forgot, how do you feel when the cabinet is on duty during this time?"

Huang Zongxi said: "I have gained a lot, this cabinet place is indeed extraordinary."

Zhang Haogu smiled even more happily: "The cabinet, to put it bluntly, is a small vegetable market within a big vegetable market, nothing out of the ordinary."

"As a minister, you have no shame in the sky above, and you have no shame in the people below. It is enough to have a heart for the country and the people in your chest."

The next day, the court meeting was held.

While all the ministers bowed to the mountain and shouted long live, Zhu Youxiao entered the main hall with dragon-like strides, and before he could sit on the dragon chair, he ordered: "Bring me all those corrupt officials!"

Guards in brocade guards escorted prisoners in prison uniforms and shackles into the main hall. The civil and military officials on both sides saw that almost half of the county magistrates in the south of the Yangtze River were here.

After these prisoners came in, they were almost paralyzed on the ground, trembling, showing their ugliness.

Zhu Youxiao looked at these corrupt officials with disgust, and said, "Jintan County Magistrate Huang Mingdao, I ask you."

"Since the new policy was implemented in the second year of Tianqi, it has been three years, four years, and five years since Tianqi! I have successively issued edicts to increase government officials in various places, increase their salaries, and give more rice, grain and cloth, so that you can live comfortably. Do your best to serve the court."

"At the same time, from the third year of Tianqi to the sixth year of Tianqi, I issued an imperial edict for four consecutive years, stating that I will not blame the mistakes I made before, and I didn't even ask you for the stolen money. As long as you continue to be honest and honest, I don't care about the past! "

"However, until now, it has been ten years since Apocalypse! You are still greedy! Still greedy!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao slapped the dragon case heavily: "Are you so short of money?!"

"The salary given by the imperial court is not enough for you to support your family, not enough for your food, clothing and shelter?"

"The greedy money wasn't enough! We have to apportion and increase the distribution, so that the people in the nine towns and fifteen townships of Jintan County are impoverished, and even their families have no land and no rice in the tank!"

"I issued an edict to exempt from exorbitant taxes, exempt from corvee, and exempt from showdown and extra dispatch. When you arrive here, you will hear nothing of it!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao, who was furious, grabbed an account book and threw it fiercely on Huang Mingdao's head. Huang Mingdao was paralyzed on the ground and did not dare to move.

"The blood books of more than 3000 people in Jintan County! Good deed!"

"what is this?"

"Officials force the people to rebel!"

"How did Meng Yuan die, you have forgotten?!"

"Do you really want to force my people to rebel?!"

Looking at the enraged Zhu Youxiao, the civil and military officials bowed their bodies tremblingly and no one dared to speak, while the criminal officials cried out one by one: "The guilty minister is a death penalty, a death penalty!"

After Zhu Youxiao vented his anger, he sat down on the dragon chair and calmed down. Looking at the ugliness of these criminal officials, he sneered and said, "Capital crime? Of course capital crime!"

"The land in the south of the Yangtze River, the Southern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty! My Longxing land of the Ming Dynasty, let you treat it so badly! I have forgiven you lightly, and I am sorry to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Wang Tiqian, declare the decree."

Wang Tiqian on the side opened the imperial decree: "Jintan county magistrate Huang Mingdao and others corrupted the law, treated the court's laws as nothing, oppressed the people, and ignored the holy grace. To bring disaster to the south of the Yangtze River is a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned!"

"The chief offender is Huang Mingdao, the magistrate of Jintan County, Wang Youwei, the prefect of Zhenjiang, Zhang Sanxing, the prefect of Yangzhou, Mo Wenwei, the prefect of Huai'an, Han Mingyuan, the prefect of Chizhou, Zhao Weimin, the prefect of Anqing. Ling Chi also confiscated all his property! The rest of the criminals, all beheaded!"

With a wave of Zhu Youxiao's criticism, the fate of these criminal officials was judged. Dozens of heads fell to the ground in 21 counties of the five prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River!
These civil and military ministers standing on the temple listened to the verdict, each of them was trembling and covered in cold sweat.

This dog emperor is becoming more and more like the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. I thought that the dog emperor had changed his temper during this period, but I didn't expect that he would be so ruthless and treat all officials like this!

Dozens of heads in the south of the Yangtze River were beheaded this time, not to mention the officials in Nanzhili were going to be panicked, even they, the important ministers of the capital, were so frightened that their calves became weak.

Seeing these prisoners who were so frightened that they were paralyzed on the ground and poured out feces and urine were dragged out by Jin Yiwei, and the guards on both sides hurried over to clean up the scene, Zhu Youxiao said intentionally or unintentionally: "Dear dears, do you have a performance?"

Huang Liji immediately stood up when he heard it: "Long live back, I have my own performance."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao raised his hand, Huang Liji took a step forward holding the jade wat, bowed and saluted, then straightened up: "Long live back, my minister, please punish the crimes committed by the students and common people in Jintan County!"

As soon as the words came out, all the officials were lingering, this dog emperor is obviously partial to those mud-legged people, now please punish those students and mud-legged people, including those students from Datong Academy, let alone the dog emperor, Zhang Hao Can Gu let you go?
Aren't you afraid that Zhang Haogu will come and beat Huangge Lao with three punches?
Zhu Youxiao sneered: "What is the crime of the students and common people in Jintan County?"

Huang Liji's face is as usual: "Back to the emperor, students, the people are all white; the county government is the place where the court's prestige is located, and it symbolizes the court's face; this student encourages the people to break into the county government and arrest the court officials. Isn't it a conspiracy? ?”

"What's more, the students and the people have neither the right to supervise nor the responsibility to arrest them. Once a few students incited them, the people dared to surround the county government. This matter is too absurd."

"If in the future, if a few random students instigate, a random group of people who are dissatisfied with the court's laws and regulations can besiege the county government, what is the court's prestige, and where is the court's legal system?"

"Besides, if a random group of people can pull out the imperial court officials from the county government office, how can officials from all over the country manage the local area, and how can they graze for the emperor?"

"If this matter is not stopped, the officials are afraid that everyone will be in danger, and sleep and food will be difficult."

After Huang Liji finished speaking, a group of empathetic officials echoed: "Yes, yes, how can there be any reason for the people to supervise officials?"

"If someone keeps staring at me, then I can't work."

"Officials from all over the country are always worried about being besieged by the county government. Under the fear, the government affairs in various places may come to a standstill."

Zhu Youxiao asked, "Oh? If you are a clean and honest official and enforce the law impartially, why should you be frightened and have trouble sleeping and eating?"

"Could it be that all my lovers have ghosts in their hearts?"

"I don't believe that an honest and upright official will not be loved by the people, and the people will not obey the law."

"If the people really surround the county government, it can only mean that the place is rotten!"

"You think it should be stopped. In my opinion, if the people in the world are like this and can supervise officials everywhere, that would be great!"

"The common people supervise whether the officials enforce the law impartially, are upright and honest, and the officials everywhere must keep themselves clean. In this way, the world will be in order, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

Seeing what Zhu Youxiao said, all the officials were almost desperate: No way, if we really want to let the mud legs supervise our daily activities, can everyone enjoy it?

Why is it becoming more and more difficult for this official to become an official?

Wouldn't the dog emperor really want to restore the system of the Hongwu Dynasty?
All the officials looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw the helpless look on each other's faces. If the dog emperor really wanted the people to supervise the officials, many of them would probably resign and return to their hometowns.

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "My dear friends, is there any truth in what I said?"

"The imperial court distributes money for maintenance of integrity, distributes rice, flour, oil and salt every month, and provides housing. The imperial court does not care about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. I have also issued an edict. The previous actions are not to blame, as long as the future is clean and honest."

"If officials all over the world follow the imperial edict and are upright and honest, why should they worry about being inspected by the people?"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao really seemed to support these students and ordinary people and restore the supervision system in the early Ming Dynasty, the civil and military officials were already desperate. They even wondered if the news spread after the fall of the court today, would the enthusiastic people in the capital He broke into his home directly and turned himself to the Ministry of Punishment.

However, Zhang Haogu stood up at this time: "Return to the emperor, my minister, I have this performance."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Haogu and nodded.

Zhang Haogu held the jade wat with a calm expression: "I think what Huang Ge said is reasonable."

After saying this, all the officials were stunned: Aren't you Zhang Haogu a new party?Why did you get entangled with the Donglin Party?

Wei Guangwei was also dumbfounded, so Huang Liji really talked Zhang Haogu into it?
How did he do it?
Zhang Haogu bowed again to salute, then straightened up and said: "Your Majesty, all the ministers."

"Today, students mobilize the people to eliminate corrupt officials for the court. Their loyalty is certainly worthy of praise, but there are rules for everything."

"Today, students can speak out for the common people. If the court rewards the students, then tomorrow, some gentry who are dissatisfied with the court's new policy may incite the common people to besiege the county government and attack those upright officials."

"It's not impossible for this to happen. Not only those gentry who are dissatisfied with the imperial court, but even those who are interested in Liaodong may agitate the people and cause chaos within our court."

"The people are loyal to the emperor, but the people are also the most easily deceived. If someone confuses the people and attacks the government, how will the court deal with it?"

Zhu Youxiao asked: "So, Master thinks those students should be punished?"

Zhang Haogu shook his head: "I don't mean that."

Now the officials are stunned, you support Huang Liji, but you don't agree to punish those students, then what kind of medicine do you sell in Zhang Haogu's gourd?

Zhang Haogu looked indifferent, ignoring the suspicious expressions of Zhu Youxiao and the officials: "Everything has a reason to follow, and my Ming Dynasty also has the Great Ming law to govern the country. Now that the people are willing to supervise the officials, it is a good thing, but it must be followed Guidance, we must not allow the people to be exploited by those who want to turn this good thing that benefits the country and the people into a bad thing."

"I believe that the imperial court might as well set up the anti-corruption office in counties and towns. If local officials commit corruption, pervert the law, or oppress the people, students, businessmen, and ordinary people can go to the anti-corruption office to report the local illegal officials, and the anti-corruption office will not accept it." The jurisdiction of each prefecture and county is directly under the anti-corruption office of each province, and the anti-corruption office of each province is directly responsible to the imperial court."

"The central anti-corruption bureau is set up directly by the cabinet and is responsible to the emperor. The provinces set up anti-corruption sub-bureaus directly under the anti-corruption bureau without local control. The prefectures, counties, and towns set up anti-corruption yamen, which are responsible for inspecting officials and accepting reports from the people."

"In this way, we can protect the common people from being used by those who want to, and we can continue to monitor the conduct of officials in various places for the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Huang Liji quickly said, "I echo what Yuan Fu said."

Wei Guangwei also stood up: "What Yuan Fu said is actually doing great good for the country and the people."
