Chapter 27 The Water Meter of Cha Honglu Temple

In fact, Pei Min still felt pressured in her heart when she applied this anonymous reporting system. Because Wu Zetian had issued a similar whistleblower policy in history, although she was very particular, she also created a report box called Tongtu!

This copper pot is much more high-end and elegant than Pei Min's report box. It is made of pure copper poured with pure copper, and the bronze ware is painted with four colors of blue, dan, white and black. Each color of the hole has a different effect. The blue zipper is used to offer poems and essays to talented people for official use; the black zipper is used to attract advice and give far-sighted people to speak out about the gains and losses of the government; the white zipper is used to seek justice for those who are wronged and wronged; the black zipper is used to predict the secrets of heaven.

The stick talks about the celestial phenomena and disasters and military secret schemes. This bronze ware is placed outside the Meridian Gate and is thrown by people. Wu Zetian's intention is very obvious, to consolidate his power, and to eliminate dissidents through this kind of rumor. In order to achieve this goal, she even issued a special edict: "If there is a rumor, the ministers shall not ask questions, and they shall all give the Yima to the Yima to provide five-grade food." He asked local officials like the old man to enter the rumor to the Beijing whistleblower, and did not ask about the content of the rumor. The rumor should be asked to go to the Beijing.

The cruel officials Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen were valued by Wu Zetian because of their high level of informing. This rumor of informing was maintained until Wu Zetian was full of wings and Lai Junchen killed her before stopping.

Putting aside Wu Zetian's intentions, the "clear" of the report box is indeed brilliant, and the Censorate has been using it, but the effect it can achieve is already very small. On the one hand, this kind of fanfare style is equivalent to making the real reporter public. If it is not rigorous and appropriate enough, it will greatly increase their chances of revenge. On the other hand, because Wu Zetian's use is indiscriminate, its credibility has decreased.

Pei Min improved the reporting system based on some knowledge of later generations: He used all means to hide the identity of the reporter. For those who are illiterate and personally reported, it was strictly forbidden for the censor to disclose any information to anyone. Even if insiders do not contact, they will not be allowed to interfere with the identity of the reporter to ensure the safety of the reporter. On the other hand, they also corrected Wu Zetian's shortcomings, encouraged but did not indulge them. The internal investigation of the Censorate is the priority and does not speak out. Pei Min knew very well that absolute power can only make people absolutely corrupt. Of course, he did not dare to say this sentence randomly. Instead, he directly added a shackle to himself with his actions, and clearly stated in the memorial to the Secretariat that the Censorate would set up a report department within the Censorate and the Censor of the Censorate to be responsible for it. In order to prevent the appearance of cruel officials like Lai Junchen, such as those during the Wu Zetian period, from abuse of power.

Judging from the response, it is still very good. But it has been a small fight and is not enough to make a difference. So Pei Min is eager to do something big, prove himself, and prove that his suggestions are beneficial to the country and the people, and is not full of political purpose of excluding dissidents like Wu Zetian.

Pei Min also realized the feeling of the cruel official Lai Junchen. However, Lai Junchen wanted to report to others, he just needed to dislike others, but he needed to wait and see. The difference between the two cannot be judged by reason.

With Pei Min's shout, six patrolmen gathered in front of him.

As the chief of the Taiyuan, Pei Min could mobilize more than these six people, but these six were subordinates directly assigned by him under his name.

"Assistant Censor!" A white and thin young man looked at Pei Min with some excitement. Others were like his name, Wang Xiaobai, with a very strange name, but he was loyal and had some hard skills. Originally, because he worked in the Censorate, his neighbors were afraid of him as if he had almost no contact with his family. When he passed by, he was hiding, as if he was avoiding the plague god. If it weren't for the good salary of the Censorate and his family had served him, he would have long since not wanted to continue working.

Recently, due to Pei Min's arrival, the image of the Censorate has changed a little, and the neighbors' attitude towards him has also changed a lot. Especially the childhood sweetheart girl was allowed by her father and was willing to talk to him. She felt happy and reciprocating her love. Pei Min was very impressed by this.

Hearing Pei Min's call, he ran to the nearest place.

"But there is a big case?" Wang Xiaobai knew that Pei Minyi had been waiting for a big case recently, and when he saw that he was so excited, he was also excited.

"Yes, if I'm not wrong, there's something good!" Pei Min's eyes flashed with excitement, and he waved his hand: "Let's go, let's check the water meter!"

Wang Xiaobai was confused and didn't know what it was to check the water meter, but seeing that Pei Min had already walked away, the six of them had no time to ask and hurriedly followed.

Wang Xiaobai volunteered: "I will lead you!"

"No need!" Pei Min smiled and said, "Just go nearby, there are not many roads, just walk."

"Taishishen?"

"No, Honglu Temple!" Pei Min narrowed his eyes.

Honglu Temple is located directly in front of the Censorate, only 600 meters apart, but it is only a quarter of an hour before the door.

The gate of Honglu Temple was tightly closed, and Pei Min signaled Wang Xiaobai to knock on the door.

Wang Xiaobai said a little afraid: "Isn't it okay?"

"What are you afraid of?" Pei Minyi's face was puzzled.

Wang Xiaobai said nervously: "This is the Honglu Temple. It is said that there are all yi groups of masters inside. Some of the old ones have become eloquent. Everyone is eloquent. Why do you want them to do if you have nothing to do?"

Pei Min felt a little disappointed. After all, he was the Censorate. In the words of later generations, he was the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. He took the small Honglu Temple seriously and said, "If you want to knock it, just knock it! You don't dare, I'll do it!"

Wang Xiaobai harshed his teeth and knocked a few times, and the temple door opened.

The guards at the door saw the officials of the Censorate and took two steps back when they saw that they were so young. They knew their identity and said, "I have met the Censor!"

Pei Min strode into the door and said, "Go to inform your Chongxuan Order, and the Censorate will look for him to handle the case."

The Censorate's method was still powerful, so the guards dared not stop him at all. They turned around and ran to notify the boss of the Honglu Temple.

When they learned of the arrival of the Censorate, the Honglu Temple was instantly facing a great enemy. The Minister of the Honglu Temple, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, and the Chief of the Honglu Temple gathered together instantly, with a little panic.

"I have met the temple minister, Shaoqing, and the temple minister!" Pei Min still greeted them politely. In terms of official positions, all three of them are above him.

The Minister of the Honglu Temple was a graceful old man. He widened his eyes and said, "The Censorate and the Honglu Temple have never had any contact. I wonder what the attendant Censor has to do?" He spoke quite arrogantly and obviously looked down on the Censorate. Especially Pei Min wanted to carry out the system of the Empress of the Martial Arts, in his opinion, it was entirely done by the slander.

Pei Min still smiled politely: "The Censorate investigates the case and it is not convenient to disclose the details. I hope the temple minister will forgive me. However, I came to find Chongxuan Ling, and it has nothing to do with the rest. The temple minister, Shaoqing, and the temple minister don't have to worry too much."

The Minister of the Honglu Temple said angrily: "My Honglu Temple is not a place where dirty and dirty things are hidden, so there is nothing to be investigated. Young people are quite talented, so don't imitate the treacherous and go on the evil path."

Pei Min responded, "Is it a place where dirt is hidden? What you say is not the only one?" He looked calm and said, "Who dares to stop the case from being handled by the Censorate?" He was old and spoke kindly, but the other party was aggressive and felt that he was very knowledgeable. He spoke in his words. If what he said was reasonable, Pei Min could accept it, but he was full of nonsense and was too lazy to be polite to him.

Before the Minister of Honglu Temple responded, the Minister of Honglu Temple asked someone to stop and said, "Mr. Wang, please take the Censor to Chongxuan's Office to find Chongxuan Order."

Wang Sicheng hurriedly led Pei Min to find Chongxuan Ling.

Seeing Pei Min and others leaving, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple swallowed his anger and said, "This new Censor has made such a big noise when he takes office. Didn't he know that all the civil and military officials in the court are staring at him and watching his jokes. He is so chaotic, really thinks that he can be lawless if he has the Dragon Power? Whether he can take it or not has nothing to do with us. He just didn't expect that he will come to our Honglu Temple!!!"

The Minister of the Honglu Temple said angrily: "This Pei Min is a lawless farmer. He wants to do something about a handsome minister and bewitch the emperor. I must study his book to let him know that the emperor's surname is Li, not Wu."

However, Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple turned his eyes and said unfairly: "I want to see if he can be arrogant for a few days."

Chongxuan Ling is a subsidiary of Honglu Temple. He is in charge of the Taoist monks and Taoist accounts of major temples in Chang'an. Any monk and Taoist priest who became monks in local temples in Chang'an have records here.

"I have met the Censor!" Chongxuan ordered the surname Lu, and his single name was erect, and he saluted Pei Min tremblingly. He was only an eighth-rank small official, not as confident as the third-rank official of the Honglu Temple.

"Where is the monk's account stored?" Pei Min didn't be polite to him and directly explained his purpose.

Lu Li's expression changed slightly and asked, "I wonder why the Censor wanted to check the monk's accounts?"

Pei Min looked at him and smiled thoughtfully, "Hu Seng Huifan has many extremely vicious people under him. I want to find the whereabouts of his personal life. He has become a monk, but he doesn't know what his Dharma name is now."

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why would you like the name of that person before he became a monk? The account room of Chongxuan Bureau is dirty and messy. I will help you find it."

"Why do you do so much nonsense?" Pei Min said angrily: "I am in business, so don't waste my time, otherwise you will be pushed into the prison of Taiwan and try the criminal law of my Censorate."

Listening to the Censor's Censor's criminal law, Lu Li's face turned pale in an instant. The Censor's Prison was even more terrifying than the Gate of Hell.

Lu Li didn't dare to write in Moji. He was extremely frightened, but he didn't dare to hesitate any more.

When I arrived at the account room, there were six bookshelfs, densely packed with various accounts, almost no less than ten thousand books. Among them, Taoist priests only had 1 and a half bookshelf, while monks occupied as many as four.

Each bookshelves has a logo posted, and it is clear what years and months are.
