Chapter 299 I am the official
Last time Chang Mao beat the drum, the censor on duty could bring a duke in, so he could only lead him in and report to Lao Zhu Chen. But this time he was an ordinary citizen, and the censor on duty had something to say.
"Dad father-in-law, should you ask clearly what the case is, and then take them in? If it is an ordinary small case, it should be sent back to the local area for disposal, so there is no need to bother Your Majesty."
The old eunuch glanced at him and smiled softly, "Mr. Tang said that, it's hard for us to go back. Our family is a servant, just a decree... By the way, Lord. Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Chun gave the old eunuch a blank look and said, "What are you doing when you pull me up?" The Pixiu Guard is useless. I am not your boss, so can I pull me to block the gun?"
Liu Chun snorted lightly: "This Censor, your body is embroidered with a divine beast, and you should distinguish between loyalty and treason. Look down and see the feet of these people! If it is an ordinary trivial matter, will they dare to come and beat the drum?"
When Liu Chun finished speaking, everyone noticed that as Liu Chun said, many people were wearing straw sandals and traveling for a long distance, their soles were worn and their toes were stained with blood, and they felt pain when they looked.
After Liu Chun told her, the people were embarrassed and wanted to hide their feet, but they didn't know where they were, so they could only lower their heads silently.
The civil and military officials around them also felt uncomfortable. They dared not look directly at them, they could only look at the sky.
Liu Chun said: "Let them go to see His Majesty quickly. If the saint blames me, I will bear it."
The old eunuch chuckled, "Mr. Liu is just aware of his thoughts. Come on, you can go in with our house."
These people can finally enter the legendary Fengtian Palace.
In order to build the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang mobilized 200,000 civilians to fill the Yanque Lake, and really moved mountains and sea to build this majestic and magnificent palace.
Only by being in it can you feel your own insignificance. Lao Zhu sat upright in the middle, and the majesty that hit him in his face made people kneel down.
Dozens of old peasants bowed to the emperor again.
Although the movements are not neat, the shouting is sincere.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "You all get up. If you have something to do, tell us, let's make the decision for you!"
Liu Chun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Lao Zhu did not use the majestic "I" facing ordinary people, but called himself "we". The distance between the two sides was immediately closer.
These old farmers finally got courageous. One of them was the oldest and most experienced. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that when he beat Zhang Shicheng more than 20 years ago, he helped transport grain and broke the leg of an old cow!
The court officials couldn't stand these old farmers. They had no priorities. They liked to turn out all the old sesame seeds and millets that had been used for so many years. If you beat the drum, wouldn't it be that the court would compensate you for an old cow?
Liu Chun secretly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and found that His Majesty the Emperor just smiled and listened silently without any impatient... Finally, after a quarter of an hour, the old farmer in charge reached the point.
It turned out that a parent official from the new rank who came to them was impeached. They all felt that the new rank was a good person and the court should not be unreasonable!
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, "So, are you here to speak up for your parents?"
At this time, the Minister of Justice An Tong stood up and said, "I will report to Your Majesty that the court has its own laws and regulations. They are just ordinary people. How can they interfere with the court's employment? I think I must not listen to the farmers' words, which will disrupt the court's rules."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, without saying anything, and he was already very clear about his displeasure.
At this time, Zhao Mian, who had just taken over as the Minister of Personnel, hurriedly said: "State Secretary An, the people have come here with great difficulty and are willing to beat the drums of the sound of the sound of the sound of the drum. In their opinion, it must be an extremely important matter. Just ask carefully and understand." Zhao Mian turned around and said to the farmers: "Who are you talking about the parents and why did he be impeached for?"
"Our magistrate is called Xun Shunqing. He is a good official. I don't know what's going on, so I suddenly stopped him from becoming an official."
Liu Chun didn't say anything, but when he heard the name of the magistrate, he couldn't help but stand up.
"I heard from Your Majesty that Xun Shunqing should be a student from Changsha. He was ordered to clear the land and implement the new law. I wonder what mistake he made, but he actually impeached and transferred his post?"
There were as many as one or two hundred students Liu Chun brought out, and only a few of them could pay attention to. For example, Xun Shunqing was impeached and he knew nothing before.
But now that the people are asking for justice for him, Liu Chun cannot just ask!
what is going on?
At this time, the Zuodu Censor Yang Jing stood up.
"Some time ago, someone impeached Xun Shunqing's mother but did not return to her death, which was a great rebellion!"
Liu Chun chuckled, "Mr. Yang, if I remember correctly, Xun Shunqing lost his mother when he was young, and his father pulled him up to him. When will the mother die?"
Yang Jing said: "Don't be angry, Lord Liu. After receiving the impeachment, the Censorate also sent someone to investigate. Xun Shunqing was indeed wronged."
"Since it's unjust, why should I transfer him away?" Liu Chun became more and more unhappy. Well, he dared to bully me. He really thought I was just a face-to-face!
Yang Jing looked at the rest of the Censorate, and then the Zuo Deputy Censor stood up.
"It's true that Xun Shunqing was wronged, but during his impeachment, he not only did not think about his mistakes in the neighborhood, but instead went to the county government every day to act as a powerful man. The censor also impeached him, saying that he was shameless and was in a position of power and power. The Censorate handed over to the Ministry of Personnel for handling on the grounds of "not Jin".
The ball hit the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhao Mian was also stunned. Why did it hit me?
The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel hurriedly said: "Because it was just a general mistake, it was not demoted or removed from office. The Ministry of Personnel felt that there was nothing wrong with the transfer of the same level!"
The minister said the more he spoke, the lower his voice. Zhao Mian was promoted to the Minister of Personnel after he captured the King of Jin and returned to Beijing. He did not hold power for a long time, and all the ordinary things in the ministry were left to the two ministers.
If a county magistrate is transferred to the capital as a censor, even if it is all seventh rank, it is also a super promotion. It must pass the Heavenly Official, but if it is transferred at the same level, they will draw a list, and Lord Shangshu nodded and sent it to the imperial court. After using the seal, it will pass.
Anyone who is familiar with the operation of the bureaucratic system knows that those who truly hold real power may not be the big names above. They are often a guy who seems to be unknown and can make you die.
Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. The two most fattest errands are recognized as the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel and the Wuxuan Department of the Ministry of War. That is not just a lot of oil, but just sitting in the oil depot!
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of energy and he had to ask about every time he mobilized an official.
But in recent years, his energy has declined, and with the cases of Li Shanchang, Zhan Hui and others, the entire bureaucratic system has undergone several serious reshuffles, and a large number of newcomers have been promoted, so Lao Zhu cannot cover everything.
Now that this problem has been cleared, it is just an ordinary mobilization and does not involve anything else. So why do ordinary people come to beat the drum and ask Zhu Yuanzhang for injustice?
What's wrong with everything seems to be natural?
Liu Chun stood up suddenly, "Mr. Yang, you are in charge of the Censorate. I want to ask for advice. Which censor should impeach Xun Shunqing first?"
At this time, Tang Yun, who was on duty today, whispered: "Mr. Liu, I was impeached by the lower officials."
"Why are you impeaching him?"
Tang Yun wanted to laugh, "Mr. Liu, you are young and may not know the rules of the court. We censors and people say that Xun Shunqing hides his mother's death and is a traitor. Since ancient times, he has never been a filial son or a loyal minister. As a parent official, he dares to hide his mother's death. Shouldn't he be impeached?"
What he said was loud and decisive. The Censor did this. How dare you doubt me?
Liu Chun chuckled: "Censor Tang, what an iron-clad censor! Then I ask you, have you checked the Ministry of Personnel before you wrote the letter to impeach him?"
"This... I'm hearing about it!"
"When the news is heard, I think it's a story out of nothing!" Liu Chun's face was solemn, "Xun Shunqing lost his mother in his early years. This situation should be recorded in the Ministry of Personnel. I'm not wrong with Zhao Tianguan, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Mian hurriedly agreed: "It's not just the parents' situation, but even the Ministry of Personnel knows whether to marry. Some Jinshi have not married, and the court will give them a leave of absence to marry!"
Zhao Mian secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly complained in his heart, something was going to happen!
Sure enough, Liu Chun sneered, "Censor Tang, you are in the mood to write an impeachment memorial, but you don't have the energy to ask about the situation! You regard the future of a parent and official so lightly, how can you distinguish right from wrong?"
Many people know Liu Chun's power, but they did not expect that this kid's words were so sharp, and he beat the eloquent Tang Yun to the corner with just a few words.
