Emperor Ming Dynasty

The cabinet was busy compiling accounts, and a political commentary in the communiqué, which caused waves beyond measure, was still fermenting.

It so clearly puts forward the reason for the country's subjugation-corrupt officials destroy the country.

It should also be known that among the public opinion, the blame for the downfall of the Ming Dynasty has always been borne by the eunuchs.

Even if the Donglin Party was overthrown, and even if there would be no eunuch party after the first year of Chongzhen, scholars still stubbornly believed that it was the eunuch party's fault.

In a blink of an eye, public opinion was detonated.

The hatred for corrupt officials made the common people feel the same hatred, and they all agreed with this.

However, the vast number of gentry and scholars are divided into two, some agree with it, and some still think it is the pot of eunuchs.

What's more, he directly blamed the Donglin Party, saying that a hypocrite is wronging the country, which made public opinion explode.

No one dared to bring Chongzhen into it. It was taboo for the venerable. The emperor could not make mistakes, and the treacherous officials could only deceive the saints.

When Mrs. Wang went down to the Yamen, there were endless discussions on the side of the road.

"It has to be a corrupt official. They falsely preached the imperial decree and corrupted an unknown amount of money..."

"The government is forcing the people to rebel!"

"Corrupt officials harm people..."

These open discussions are nothing more than that, but what shocked Wang Fuzhi was that the banned book "Water Margin" was openly displayed in the bookstore.

The store owner can also do business, yelling: "This is full of irrefutable evidence that corrupt officials harm people, and officials force people to rebel—"

Now, there is a long queue immediately, and people rush to buy.

What a keen sense of smell.

"That's right. The cabinet reviews the communiqué, and the cabinet listens to His Majesty. Doesn't that mean the emperor is endorsing it?"

Wang Fuzhi thought about it, and suddenly realized.

"And Brother Nong, and Brother Nong—" When I went to the tea shop at the entrance of the alley, I suddenly heard someone calling me.

"Brother Taichong!" Wang Fuzhi turned his head and saw that it was Huang Zongxi who was in the yamen.

"Sit down quickly." Huang Zongxi greeted: "Old rules."

Soon, a jug of wine and two side dishes were served.

[-] Wen for rice wine, [-] Wen each for stir-fried sheep tripe and pig ears, forty Wen in total.

"Sit down, I'm treating you today."

Huang Zongxi smiled lightly, he knew that it was relatively difficult for him to support a family.

"I don't have a few days to spare. I'm afraid you won't see me after a while!"

"Why?" Mrs. Wang was taken aback, how busy is the supervisory censor?

"Listen—" Huang Zongxi pointed to the guests chatting and drinking, and said.

"I said, the Ming Dynasty is finished, and the co-authors were sold by those corrupt officials—"

"I heard from my parents that Master Wanli will be more comfortable. Shimi only needs five or six dollars, and the world will be peaceful..."

"My grandfather is from the Ming Dynasty, and my father is from the Ming Dynasty. In a blink of an eye, I became a Shunren, and then a Qingren? Who can I ask for reasoning?"

"My parents died of starvation. I have seven brothers and sisters, but I am the only one alive. Two or three sons are gone. What a crime..."

"Corrupt officials have to die. They have to be hacked into pieces. They have to follow the example of the great grandfather when they directly skinned and stuffed people—"

The guests at the three or five tables were all discussing, and as the drinks entered their stomachs, they were filled with righteous indignation and insults.

Many people talked about the old things of the previous years, and shed tears one by one.

Wang Fuzhi was shocked, when did the ass have such courage?
He looked at Huang Zongxi in puzzlement.

Huang Zongxi whispered two words: "Jingying—"

Wang Fuzhi suddenly realized.

Before the emperor moved the capital, there were less than [-] people in Beijing. With the move, a large number of soldiers from the Beijing camp moved into Beijing.

There are [-] Beijing camps, plus family members, most of the Beijingers are children of the Beijing camp.

In this way, it must have arrogant capital.

"It's the same for me." Huang Zongxi sighed, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has heard that as the censor of the Shandong Supervision Department, he will have to go to Shandong for inspection in two days."

"Isn't there a patrol?"

"They don't do anything." Huang Zongxi said disdainfully: "Every day, they patrol around, but they don't see many things. It seems that the world is peaceful."

"You are in the cabinet, and you should know about their memorials."

Huang Zongxi had to nod his head when he recalled the memorials of the inspectors in various places: "Follow the rules, the world is peaceful, there are very few impeachments, and the local officialdom is harmonious!"

"Harmony makes money!" Huang Zongxi said disdainfully: "If you are in a bad mood, you have long lost your character, and besides, it is only because you are in this mountain."

Wang Fuzhi glanced at Huang Zongxi and asked with concern, "Can you find out?"

"I have been a county magistrate anyway, of course I can."

Huang Zongxi was full of momentum.

Wang Fuzhi didn't believe it.

"Well, the imperial court has matched me with someone."

Huang Zongxi said helplessly: "One for Qian Liang and one for punishment, a dozen or so people from Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, and a team of people from the Beijing camp for personal protection."

"Shandong alone, the supervisory censor like me has sent four teams."

The five provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan sent a total of [-] groups of supervisory censors, mainly teams, either openly or silently.

Once you have solid evidence, you can be detained first and handed over to Dali Temple for trial.

"Your Majesty is going to make a big fuss!"

Wang Fuzhi was shocked.

"Before, I was too busy to fight a war, so I didn't take it into account for a while, but now it's not a big deal to worry about slavery, so naturally we have to take drastic measures to clean up the government."

Huang Zongxi said in a low voice: "It's normal to settle accounts after the autumn."

"By the way, won't you embezzle?"

"Fart, if I were corrupt, would I still live in a courtyard and go to the government on foot?"

"That's true."

While talking and laughing, the two of them swept away the food and drink.

After returning home, Wang Fuzhi ordered another bowl of rice to fill his stomach.

Huang Zongxi had no time to spare, so a carriage came to pick him up for the banquet.

"Oki, you have a comfortable life!"

"Where." Zheng Sen shook his head, looked at his envious eyes, and couldn't help saying: "There is another courtyard in my house, why don't you go and live there!"

"How troublesome it is to live in this compound."

"No, living in the courtyard is comfortable." Huang Zongxi narrowed his eyes, looked at Zheng Sen who was getting more energetic, and said seriously: "Are you going to be sent down?"

"Yes."

Zheng Sen nodded and sighed, "As expected."

"Shandong Province, Yanzhou Prefecture, the criminal department is in charge, and it is the sixth grade."

The emperor reformed the official system. The county has six houses and eight ranks; the government has six departments and six ranks; the provincial level has six divisions and four ranks.

Climbing up step by step, but from Zuoerguan to Zhengyinguan, and then to the reincarnation of Zuoerguan, it can be said to be a great test of people's hearts.

Similarly, there is an obvious path to rise in the officialdom.

It is matched with Zhang Juzheng's examination method, which was re-implemented after the North was deposed.

The established method, that is, the fixed time limit for the things that officials should do is registered in three account books, and the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate register according to the account books, and check each month.

Only in terms of political achievements, officials have been promoted and have been promoted.

But it is also true that under the cover of political achievements, corruption has been ignored.

Such ills must naturally be cleaned up.
