I want to be a grandson

Chapter 388 The Great Shame

As the reputation of Yan Shenggong Kong's family deteriorated day by day in the capital, the courtiers began to be puzzled,
Later, more and more criticism voices were exposed, and one scandal after another was exposed, and their mood also changed accordingly.

After all, in the capital city and almost everywhere in Daming, there were voices of discussion, and it was hard for them not to pay attention.

So in the classroom, while colleagues were having a drink, they were all discussing this matter.

"What's wrong with the Kong family? It's spread all over the capital, and they did so many evil things?"

"It doesn't come from nothing, and it doesn't have a reason. Besides, it's rumored that it has a nose and an eye, so it doesn't seem like a rumor."

"If this is the case, then there are too many evil things!"

"For generations of princes, princes and ministers, no one has ever recruited, but someone like the Kong family is really rare..."

"The people in Shandong are in trouble now. The Kong family has done so many dirty things, so they are not afraid of being struck by lightning!"

"What are you afraid of, he is Yan Shenggong! After being a saint, this is his amulet!"

"The reputation of such a family is stinky, even worse than jackals, and is worthy of being Yan Shenggong?"

"I don't know how the imperial court will deal with the Kong family. Even the confidants of His Highness the Emperor Taisun dare to kill. This courage is really lawless!"

"Who says it's not! The emperor's grandson sent the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Cao Ming from the Inspectorate, and just now sent to Dali Temple. This is for the three divisions to interrogate..."

"For a family like Xiangyan Shenggong, the third judge will try and convict him. Who can believe that their family is so dirty?"

"How do you say the grandson of the emperor will deal with the Kong family?"

"It will definitely be dealt with severely. Otherwise, what is the majesty of the prince? Some people will definitely die..."

"Not killing is not enough to anger the people, it should be killed!"

Qi Tai, as the doctor of the examination department of the Ministry of Officials, arranged Jing Qing's appointment.

When Qi Tai brought Jing Qing to the Inspector's Office, before he entered the lobby, he heard a commotion from Tang Zhong.

Qi Tai asked the little official beside him: "What's the matter, why are you making such a noise?"

The little official smiled, and said awkwardly: "Several masters are discussing affairs, and it's a little bit more intense, a little bit more intense..."

Discuss business?

Such a loud voice is almost the same as that of vendors hawking in the street market!

This is called a discussion business?

As a literati, he pays attention to etiquette in everything. No matter how unhappy he is, he will only confront each other secretly, speak softly but hard, and try to choke people to death!

How can it be like here in the Inspectorate, where there is so much noise and you don't even want your face?

With doubts in his heart, Qi Tai heard a high-pitched voice before entering the lobby,

He was shouting vigorously: "Everyone, shame! Shame, great shame! This is the shame of the Inspectorate! It is also the shame of us!"

"Twelve supervisory censors, ten of them were sent to one Shandong! Now that such a big incident happened in Shandong, and such a big unjust case happened, there was no news before!"

"What are these ten supervisory censors doing? Are they eating a vegetarian meal without doing anything?! Or are they corrupt and perverting the law and working with criminals?"

"If it weren't for these ten people pretending to be deaf and dumb, afraid of Yan Shenggong's influence, and cooperating with him to hide and not report! How could Shandong's grievances be so violent!"

"So I feel that if we want to investigate others, we should first investigate ourselves! We should first investigate ourselves! The injustice case in Shandong has been exposed, where else?"

"How many wrong cases were committed by enemies in Henan, Shanxi, Hebei, Zhili, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Shaanxi! How many people concealed and did not report!"

When Qi Tai and Jing Qing walked closer, they saw an official in his forties, wearing a fourth-rank court uniform, giving a fierce speech.

And around him, was a group of colleagues sitting on chairs, they all looked at this man with different expressions.

Some agreed with approval and agreed with what he said, some shook their heads slightly, as if they thought he was too intense,

Others are like old monks sitting still, with a casual look, just in line with the sentence, it's none of your business!

Qi Tai recognized that this person's name was Lian Zining, and he was the imperial censor of the fourth rank of the Procuratorate.

The little official wanted to report, but was stopped by Qi Tai, who wanted to hear more.

Lian Zining stood in the crowd and said angrily: "The censor of the Inspector's Office has lost his vigor, and if he wants to be a good old man, he wants to be harmonious and polite with the courtiers, so he should apply to the Ministry of Officials to leave the Inspector's Office as soon as possible! "

"As long as I stay in the Procuratorate for one day and serve as the censor for one day! I must fulfill my duties, admirals, and impeach corrupt officials!"

"If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow being crooked. If you are not upright yourself, how can you impeach others! Therefore, I propose that all members of the Procuratorate, including the Twelve Supervisory Censors, start self-examination immediately!"

"If someone commits a criminal offense and lays his corpse on a vegetarian diet, he will never be tolerated. According to the practice of the Procuratorate, he will be punished three times! What do you think!"

Just because the censor's duties are very important, any crime committed by the censor will be punished with a third class, and if there are stolen goods, he will be dealt with more severely.

As Lian Zining said, as such an important department, the Inspectorate would be very terrible if it did not stand upright.

This was also the reason why Lian Zining asked the Procuratorate to conduct a self-examination, and according to the usual practice, the punishment was tripled.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the Inspectorate began to discuss, and some said that they should conduct self-examination, otherwise it would really get worse.

Some are all kinds of evasions and don't want to check themselves.

In the end, Lin Gong, the vice capital censor, said, "Everyone, Lian Zining said that the inspectors will conduct self-examination. I think now is not the time."

"Master Cao, the censor of the right capital, is still in Shandong, and such a major event as self-examination must always be presided over by Mr. Cao, otherwise it will be really difficult to coordinate all parties..."

Upon hearing this, those who disagreed with the self-examination quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, Mr. Cao is not here, how can we make decisions without authorization!"

"Self-inspection is too big a matter. The Inspectorate still has a lot of official duties to do, and there are many places that need to be inspected. If we self-inspect at this time, it will affect the affairs..."

"Yeah, when the time comes when the court blames it, what should we do?"

"That's right, you really can't slack off in your official duties... and what's going on when you're about to find out, where will the Inspector's face be placed?"

"Those officials who have been impeached will definitely hold on to the Procuratorate's braids. They don't care so much. They will definitely impeach us without distinction..."

Of course, there are those who refute them and agree to self-examination.

After all, when Zhu Yuanzhang chose officials to enter the Inspectorate, he would also inspect them more, and the officials he appointed were relatively upright.

Besides, one of the responsibilities of the Procuratorate is impeachment. In addition, the eyes of all officials are on the Procuratorate. Many people are clean officials and are not afraid of self-examination.

So he retorted: "Why can't you check yourself? If you don't check yourself, who knows if someone is whitewashing the peace?"

"That is, what can we talk about with hundreds of officials, why can't we investigate it ourselves? If we don't investigate, everyone, we won't be so polite when Jin Yiwei investigates!"

"The Procuratorate is setting an example for all officials. We don't even have the confidence to conduct self-examination, so how can we do things? What confidence do we have to impeach others?"

"What are you afraid of? If there are moths to be picked out!"

After some discussion, Lian Zining stood up and said with a firm face: "Everyone, the self-examination by the Procuratorate is necessary! Our foundation is not clean, and we are ashamed of the Holy Majesty! We can't even stand up straight in front of all the officials. waistboard!"

"I will write a letter to His Majesty, asking for self-examination!"

Those who disagree are not necessarily corrupt and perverting the law, they just think that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

It can be seen that he was so persistent and shook his head helplessly.

Lian Zining has a stubborn temper and a fiery personality, and he is well-known in the Inspectorate.

In the Procuratorate, there are two inspector censors on the left and right, who are the official positions of the second rank; there are also two deputy capital censors on the left and right, who are the third rank.

In addition, there are four royal censors, whose official positions are the fourth rank.

Although Lian Zining was not the highest official among these people, he was the hardest to mess with!
It's no use trying to persuade him of what he's sure about!Eight horses can't pull back!
Lian Zining continued: "Everyone, apart from the self-inspection by the Inspectorate, there is one more thing that must be top of mind, and that is the Confucius family of Yan Sheng Gong!"

"The Kong family did so many evil things in Shandong. The county magistrate of Qufu was done by the Kong family. Duke Yansheng was a first-rank official in the imperial court, ranking first among civil servants.

But there are so many thugs out of their family, in addition to severely punishing those evildoers, I also feel that they are not worthy of being Yan Shenggong anymore! "

At this point, there was a burst of exclamation!
Lian Zining is trying to depose Yan Shenggong!

Where did he have such courage!
Lian Zining ignored the crowd and continued, "Your Majesty Yan Sheng is ashamed of the court, ashamed of the court's gift, and ashamed of His Majesty's love!"

"Next, I am ashamed of the people of Liming, and the elders of my hometown!"

"It made Confucius' reputation suffer, and his ancestors were ashamed. To be honest, he is the most unfilial descendant in ancient and modern times!"
