Chapter 137 Angrily scolding the censor
Wang Zeng ordered his family to move out a few tables and chairs from the mansion and put them in front of his mansion. He ordered the clerks who stood up to record all the names and life experiences of everyone, the resumes of their positions in the Sansi, and the reasons why they were unwilling to be cut down in detail.
Hundreds of people were crowded here and could not organize them. They could only let everyone come forward to tell their own words, and the clerk copied them accordingly.
Liu Han also followed the people and compiled his resume casually. He used Liu Sanshui's name to let the clerk record it. Seeing that the clerk just followed the records he told, Liu Han sighed in his heart. He didn't know how many of the people he wrote down were real or how many were fake, and he didn't know how many of them were real officials of the Sansi.
After more than an hour of noisyness, I finally finished it.
Wang Zeng ordered his servant to receive a thick book and said to everyone: "I will definitely distinguish you from the morning court tomorrow. You must understand your thoughts and go home early. In this way, it is not the atmosphere that the peaceful world should have."
Everyone shouted thanks loudly and resigned Wang Zeng.
After leaving Wang Zeng's mansion, the officials of the three corps were in high spirits. They felt that with the prime minister, the job would be saved. They talked and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
After walking out for two or three hundred steps, the public officials began to scatter and go home, saying goodbye loudly.
At this moment, someone shouted loudly: "There was a big deal this time, and it was all because of the Chief Censor Han Yi. He slandered that the court wanted to eliminate the officials of our three corps. Now that Wang Gong is protecting us, it seems that nothing is wrong. But Han Yi's treacherous minister urged to do this. If he didn't teach him a lesson, how could he be able to breathe in his heart!"
Before the words were finished, someone shouted loudly.
An obese man whispered: "Han Yi, this old dog, remembered that he had nothing when he went to Beijing to take the exam. Today, he has a beautiful house, a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, and a wealthy family. He forgot the suffering of us poor people! He actually came up with such an idea, and he had no conscience in his heart? Let's curse together, spit on him, and also exuded anger in his heart!"
Liu Heng thought in his heart that something was wrong. If the matter ended here, it would not be a big deal. After all, it was just a gathering of people to petition in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion and did not do anything particularly out of order. If he went to Han Yi's mansion again, this would not be the case. At that time, gathering people to insult the censor, the official would definitely not be able to be good.
What is the identity of the censor? Even the prime minister of the dynasty must be polite, that is the real face of the court.
Just when a group of people were hesitating, someone suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "This time something happened, the officials in the goods service were caught in the private matter. Those officials did something wrong, but nothing big mistakes, and they did not have any corruption to get official things from their families, but they just used tea to exchange for tea. The judge of the salt and iron Han Zong grabbed it and insisted on putting those minor officials who were making money! Han Laogou took advantage of the problem and could not tolerate us! What is the elimination of redundant officials is just a dislike to us! How could the father and son of the Han family be so heartless, how could he swallow this breath!"
"Go to the Han family and let the father and son know that we are not easy to mess with!"
"Everyone goes together, this is the voice of the people, and the officials will also look to us!"
Some people shouted, and some people urged each other everywhere. The team that was about to disperse at the beginning slowly gathered together.
Liu Heng said to Lin Taiping who had been following him: "The crime of colliding with the censor is quite serious, and the court will definitely not take it lightly. Since Mr. Wang has promised to speak for us, it is better not to go too much and go home as soon as possible."
Lin Taiping smiled bitterly: "Brother, how can you still be able to do it at this time? You just don't go, can you still take it off when things get messed up? You are working in the editorial office, and I don't know the difficulties of us. We little officials are all watching each other. Who dares to walk halfway? In the future, the specialist will make you lose money!"
"Then are you a tutor here today?"
"Brother is so stupid, why would the sensible official come?" Lin Taiping smiled and shook his head. "The staff were cut, but they couldn't be cut! You didn't see that Zhu Zheng, Zhou Gui and Li Fengji who were leading today were all in the back. No one with a little status would come, let alone those leaders!"
Those who are at the lowest level of officials are just running errands. Kongmu, specializing in knowledge and goufuguan are senior officials, and their actual power is greater than that of many officials.
Liu Heng didn't say anything, but just sighed in his heart. Some of the officials who came here today were blindly following, and a large part of them were afraid that they were bewitched and coerced by their superiors, and they were fed by the truly powerful public officials.
The scattered team gathered again, led by the few people in the front, and advanced all the way to Han Yi's family in the inner city.
At this time, only Han Yi's several sons passed the Jinshi, and his eldest son Han Gang-en became an official because he was impatient and was rude to the subordinates, and his official reputation was not very good. The Han family was not a wealthy family.
The team arrived in front of the Han Mansion. This time there was no one who went up to hit the door, and someone cursed loudly from afar.
The people in the Han Mansion had already received news. Seeing these disaster stars coming to their homes, they had filthy words coming early. They imitated Lu Yijian's house, closed the door tightly, and ignored them.
Hundreds of public officials arrived at the door and saw that there was no one, and the scolding became increasingly unpleasant. They called the old dog on the left and the little wolf cub on the right, and cursed them until the eighth generation of Han Yi's ancestors.
Liu Han cursed and wanted to block his ears. Inside the door was the Censor of the current dynasty, the highest official of the national supervision system that the emperor personally eliminated. After being insulted like this, the official could no longer step down.
The fat man who had been particularly active was spitting out and his voice was hoarse. He didn't know what deep hatred he had with the Han family, but he still couldn't relieve his anger like this. He suddenly bent down and picked up a stone as big as a fist from the ground, and used his strength to raise his hand and smashed it into the Han mansion.
"Zhi Niang, this old dog family learns to be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle. Do you think this is fine? Everyone just picks up tiles and stones to smash his house to let him know how powerful we are!"
The fat man clapped his hands and shouted at the people around him.
When they started, some people followed suit. A group of public officials scattered, picked up bricks and stones on the ground around them and smashed them into the Han Mansion, smashing them while scolding them, and their words became increasingly dirty.
After about half an hour of trouble, the leaders who had been in the front row winked at each other and nodded.
An inconspicuous public official walked away from these people and quietly slipped to the periphery of the crowd. Seeing that the people around him were not paying attention, he suddenly shouted loudly: "The people from Kaifeng Prefecture are here! We have anger today, so we should disperse as soon as possible and go back to our own houses. Don't be arrested by the people from the government!"
As soon as the words fell, several leaders in the middle of the crowd said together: "The people in Kaifeng Prefecture are vicious, and there is no reason to be captured by them and suffer in vain. They have dispersed! They have dispersed!"
While talking, he ran around separately.
The leader suddenly escaped, and the entire public officials team suddenly dispersed, and almost in the blink of an eye, birds and beasts scattered one after another.
Lin Taiping looked around in a daze and asked Liu Han around him: "Why did everyone disperse all at once? Brother, why don't you run away? Are you not afraid of being caught by the people from Kaifeng Prefecture?"
Liu Han patted the boy's shoulder: "Kaifeng Mansion wants to arrest people, so he has been arrested for a long time. Where will he wait until this time? Go home early, remember, don't participate in such things with others in the future."
Lin Taiping still couldn't quite understand, so he shook his head, said goodbye to Liu Jiang, and went back to his own residence in the outer city alone.
Liu Han looked at the residence of the Censor Han Yi in front of him, sighed, and turned around and returned to the editing office with the soldiers mingling in the team.
Wang Gongchen, Wang Bin and others were still in the editing office. When they saw Liu Wen coming back, they surrounded him and asked in a whisper: "Chongzhi, what is the situation outside? Why do we hear that hundreds of public officials surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion and the matter was out of control, but it's true?"
Liu Ying said: "It's not just surrounding the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they also went to the Han Zhongcheng Mansion to insult and throw bricks and stones into the mansion. There must be hidden information when this matter is caused. Where is the deputy envoy?"
Wang Gongchen said: "In the hut over there, I don't know what I'm talking about with Gao Chengduan, and it hasn't come out for more than an hour. If you have something urgent, you can go and report it."
Liu Han said goodbye to everyone, followed the instructions outside Xu Pingdai's hut, and said in a deep voice: "Deputy envoy, Liu Han, the subordinate, has returned. Report something."
"Come in."
Hearing Xu Ping's answer, Liu Han pushed open the door and entered the hut.
I saw Xu Ping and Gao Chengduan holding a table with a thick stack of paper on the table, and I didn't know what I remember.
Liu Han saluted: "Deputy envoy, I didn't disturb you, right? Now there is time, and there is something strange about the affairs of the officials of the three companies today."
"Come here and say it slowly." Xu Ping greeted Liu Heng and ordered Gao Chengduan: "You go out first. Don't tell anyone what you are talking about today. I will look for you if there is something."
Gao Chengduan saluted Xu Ping and Liu Han, turned around and left the door.
Xu Ping ordered the miscellaneous officials outside the door to have tea and said to Liu Ying: "Tell me, I've been busy for a day and found something strange."
Liu Han took a sip of tea, smoothed out what happened today, and told Xu Ping from beginning to end.
"The deputy envoy, hundreds of public officials today are all the lowest-level officials. I asked Lin Taiping, and he said that the superior official asked these people to come, otherwise the yamen would not be able to stay in the future. The three departments would not be able to lay off people, so why should they put this effort into it?"
Liu Ying thought about this all the way, but he couldn't figure it out. He could have confirmed that someone must have done it on purpose today, and some people even mingled in it and deliberately led to the final result, but he couldn't figure out why. What exactly did the planners behind this big event that caused such a sensation in the government and the opposition?
