Chapter 593 Chapter 592 "Public Security"

Cen Yongbin, the censor of the capital of Yunyang, was not in charge of impeachment, and Chen Zhixian, the censor of Yunyang, was not in office for corruption. Tong begged to be dismissed.

Zhixian was dismissed from his post, ordered to dismiss his department, and lived in a leisurely manner. Since then, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has returned to the Tao, and he has to conduct strict inspections to abolish discipline.

"Master, this is a letter from Master Zhang Ke Zhang to you."

On this day, Wei Guangde returned home and received a letter from the south from the housekeeper Zhang Ji.

"it is good."

Wei Guangde went back to the backyard first, then went to the study, opened the envelope, and read it.

Soon, Wei Guangde shook his head and sighed.

Without him, Zhang Ke received the decree and knew that he was dismissed. He felt that the officialdom was boring, so he handed in the seal letter and went back to his hometown in Jiangxi.

Anyway, he still has the title of Jinshi on his head, and his official position was dismissed, but his background has not been removed, and he can still live the life of an official when he returns home.

Writing this letter to Wei Guangde is to tell him about it, and it seems that he doesn't want to go out in the future.

"Nima, this glass heart."

Wei Guangde cursed secretly in his heart, but no one returned to the capital, and no one else could hear him scolding.

I wanted to write a letter to call Zhang Ke back, but I thought that he had just suffered an unreasonable disaster, and I was still angry in my heart. I should wait for a while to calm down before writing to him.

Wei Guangde gave up the idea of ​​replying to the letter immediately. Before that, Prince Yu's Mansion had asked him, Li Fang, and Minister of Rites Gao Gong to put pressure on Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to end the dispute in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible.

Zhang Ke was only injured by mistake. Presumably he ran home directly, probably because of his anger, and more likely because he had a new understanding of the dangers of officialdom.

It can only be said that Wei Guangde's name is a bit well-known in the officialdom, as long as he is mentioned, people will think of Yuwangfu.

When it comes to Prince Yu's Mansion, officials would think of Gao Gong in the past, but now it has become Wei Guangde.

This is also a dispute in the south of the Yangtze River. The other party wanted to warn Yu Wangfu, but chose to directly attack Wei Guangde's fellow countrymen.

This Li Sui is really nothing.

Wei Guangde also cursed secretly in his heart.

But in any case, through this incident, Wei Guangde also realized that the officials in Jiangxi have been divided and are no longer monolithic.

When Yan Song was in power in the past, although some Jiangxi officials were not interested in him, such as Jin Da and others, most of them would still talk to Yan Song when they were in trouble.

And after Yan Song's downfall, Jiangxi officials actually waved butcher knives at their fellow villagers
In the 45th year of Jiajing’s first month court meeting, Emperor Jiajing still did not show up. He just ordered Duke Cheng Zhu Xizhong to pay homage to the Xuanji Treasure Hall of the Son of Heaven on his behalf. Free banquet, give money and banknotes.

Wei Guangde thought about it carefully, it seems that he has never participated in the Great Court Meeting in all these years since he became an official.

Being able to see Emperor Jiajing at the court meeting, that is, the palace examination every three years, Emperor Jiajing will miss a short time.

Perhaps, this is also because most Jinshi only have one chance to see Longyan in their lifetime.

From November to the first month is the busiest time for the Ministry of Rites. There are many ceremonies and sacrificial activities to be carried out. Although many Jiajing emperors will appoint nobles and ministers to perform salutes, the executable work is done by the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple.

Gao Gong has been in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and he can cope with so many activities with ease. After all, it is done according to the established rules, and it only needs to allocate a good manpower.

Although it is repeated, Gao Gong still enjoys it. After all, this is the merit of the Ministry of Rites. As long as these etiquette activities are done well every year, the ratings of the officials of the Ministry of Rites will be improved. For the people below, there is only hope for promotion, but it means for him. There is an opportunity to cross that threshold.

It has been three months since Yan Na became an official. The cabinet is under the auspices of Xu Jie and Li Chunfang. Although there are no major mistakes, the efficiency of work is still somewhat affected.

The most important thing is that Li Chunfang is a little hesitant when encountering problems, lacking the courage that a cabinet minister should have.

Gao Gong has been working very seriously in the Ministry of Rites during this period, and his purpose is self-evident.

"My lord Gao, this is the 56 scrolls of imperial edicts and orders in the possession of Yan Song's home, the imperial censor of Jiangxi Province Cheng Shouju Ji, the imperial imperial poems on three scrolls, the imperial poems on one scroll, and the poems written in imperial pens. Three ways, two volumes from the imperial pen collection, three sub-volumes, two seals from the imperial pen collection, [-] scrolls of imperial edicts, one hundred and seven seals of imperial edicts, and one silver tooth book from the imperial court."

Chen Yiqin entered Gao Gong's office and reported to Gao Gong the documents he had just checked.

"This should be sent to the inner treasury. I don't want to bother the two masters. Since you are the one who took care of Jiangxi, you can contact the palace and ask them to come and receive it."

Gao Gong glanced at the confiscated gifts from Jiangxi, and asked curiously, "How much dirty money has been returned this time?"

Gao Gong still has an impression of the family wealth of Yan's family reported by Cheng Shoujie before, which is really beyond people's imagination.

But after that, when it was the turn to turn it in to the warehouse, it was indeed extremely unfavorable to procrastinate.

"It's only 20 taels, and there is also Luolong Wenji in Nanzhili who has no family property, but it is 5 taels less than the number reported in the newspaper."

Chen Yiqin shook his head and said.

"How can there be such a big gap?"

Gao Gong said with a frown.

The disparity between a few million taels and a few hundred thousand taels was so shocking that he couldn't allow himself to be surprised.

"Who knows."

Of course Chen Yiqin didn't know the inside story, so he shook his head and replied.

Although he didn't know the answer, Gao Gong still kept this matter in mind.

Inadvertently, January passed.

On the first day of February, Wei Guangde went out to be on duty, and when he arrived at the school record hall, he devoted himself to the work of school books, not knowing at this time that the Secretary of General Affairs and Envoys was in chaos.

The Counselor of the General Administration Department took the memorial from the thin old man in front of him, and just flipped through it quickly, almost dropping the memorial on the ground by mistake.

"I said this lord."

"Hai Rui, head of the Yunnan Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

The thin old man bowed his hands to the official.

"You, as if I didn't see it today, take it back quickly."

While speaking, the counselor handed back Hai Rui's memorabilia in his hand.

Too many taboo words.

If it is said that he was a righteous monarch before, and he was a minister, and he wanted peace and order in the world, it is still reasonable, but what the hell is the "two kings will not meet" mentioned later.

Although everyone has talked about this in private, who dares to put it on paper.

Accused the emperor of cultivating sacrifices in order to seek longevity, seeking gods wholeheartedly, exhausting the people's anointing, building excessively, and ignoring the imperial court for more than [-] years.
Appoint Yan Song to the traitorous party
In Jiajing, it is said that the family is clean and has no wealth.
The Secretary of General Administration also had good intentions in counseling. I met the first person who came to hand in the memorial early this morning, and there was no one else around, so I wanted to return his memorial. I just didn't expect to hand it over, but there was no place to pick it up.

"I said Master Hai, if you really send this memorial, do you know the consequences?"

He also had good intentions, the other party was the head of the household department, he was considered a fat job, and he wanted to make friends, so he reminded him repeatedly.

"When Rui went to the library, the coffin was prepared, his wife was bid farewell, the boy servant was dismissed, and the funeral was arranged by someone."

Unexpectedly, the old man in front of him replied like this.

"you sure?"

The General Secretary wanted to struggle again, so he reminded again, "You criticize His Majesty throughout this memorial, but you know the consequences.

The emperor is really going to get angry, I'm afraid it will hurt his family. "

"I've already thought about it. I will hand over today's memorial, and I will go home and wait to die."

"Why do you do this?"

Seeing that Hai Rui seemed to really have the will to die, the councilor just shook his head contemptuously. He didn't understand why the head of the sixth rank was going crazy. I have received it before, but I have never seen so many prohibited words in a memorial.

Must be banned, 404.

"Come here, come and transcribe." Seeing that Hai Rui didn't intend to take it back, the councilor naturally didn't continue to remind him, but stared at Hai Rui with deadly eyes.

After the two experienced it, the councilor handed over Hai Rui's memorial to them, "copy it as soon as possible and keep it on file."

"Yes, my lord."

The two of them took the memorial and walked aside to start copying. When they turned around, they heard the counselor's reminder, "Hold the pen steady."

The memorial had already been handed over, and the councilor signed the receipt and threw it directly to Hai Rui.

Hai Rui picked up the note that fell on the ground and put it in his arms, and when he turned to leave, the councilor was still sneering: "Master Hai, I'm afraid you really have no chance of surviving with this paper, what do you want to eat?" , let’s eat today.”

Hai Rui just cupped his hands casually and strode away from the office of the General Secretary.

Instead of going to the household department, he went home directly. He knew that after the memorial was uploaded, he was afraid that he would be imprisoned soon.

Knowing that he must die, but the ambition of a scholar in his heart still encouraged him, he insisted on completing the letter, and wrote everything he saw and heard in the capital in the past two years into the memorial.

It is said that he scolded the emperor, indeed, he felt that the emperor had not done very well in recent years, and he did not have the spirit of hard work in those years when he first came to the throne.

"My lord, this memorial."

"Copy it, copy it without error, it's not written by you, it's just for you to follow the gourd, what are you afraid of."

"It's head off."

After Hai Rui left, almost everyone in the General Secretary's lobby was attracted.

As for Hai Rui's memorial, although everyone felt that there was something to be said, the memorial was not written that way.

You have to point out something wrong with the emperor, that's fine, be tactful, being so fierce.

What should be taboo, you also have to know the taboo.

"Is this man a lunatic?"

"Can a lunatic be a Jinshi?"

"The rumors of these two dragons may directly kill him."

"Stop talking, copy it quickly, and I'll send it to the back."

The councilor who accepted Hai Rui's memorial stood aside at this moment, urging the experience to hurry up.

"It's still the head of the household department, I'm afraid it's an official and a fool."

Some people thought of the conversation between the two of them earlier, and thought of the official position of the person who gave the performance.

In fact, among the officials of this yamen, who does not envy the official position of head of the household department, this is really money.

It might not work in other places, but when the government in Yunnan went to the capital to pay their bills, every time they didn't take care of it and curry favor with their masters, everything was money.

"It is estimated that he has earned too much money, so he will seek his own death."

Soon, there was a fool in charge of the household department, and a piece of news about "Public Security" was published, and it was passed on from the clerk of the General Administration Department to other places.

In the beginning, everyone just passed it on by word of mouth, but the words mentioned in the book were all remembered in their hearts. After all, it was very forbidden.

Everyone was talking crazy at the time, and the people in the General Secretary didn't pay attention to it. When the news spread, many people rushed here to transcribe the content of the memorandum. Only then did they realize that, This seems unusual.

Among the people who ran into the Secretary of General Administration to transcribe the memorial, there was Lu Bu.

When Wei Guangde was not in school, he heard Lu Bu talk about the wonderful things he heard today. He knew that there was a head of the household department named Hai.

Wei Guangde was also reminded by Lu Bu, and vaguely remembered that Hai Rui scolded Jiajing in the memorial, saying "Jiajing Jiajing, every house is clean", which made Hai Rui famous.

Before, he asked Duan Mengxian to find an opportunity to help introduce him, but after that, everyone seemed to have forgotten about it, and when he heard Hai Rui's name again, this person had already written a letter to his death.

The original Wei Guangde had only heard of this thing, but he didn't know the original text. In fact, the later generations have not seen much of it.

But in this life, Wei Guangde became curious, and immediately asked Lu Bu to go to the Secretary of the General Administration to copy a copy. He wanted to see what this so-called "Wanshi Public Security Book" or "Number One Book in the World" actually wrote.

Lu Bu tremblingly copied Hai Rui's memorabilia, that is trembling, as he knew that what he had copied was in the hands of the emperor, he would definitely be sentenced to prison immediately, tortured and waited on, and those involved would be tracked down and punished.

At this time, other officials in the General Administration Department also gathered together to discuss.

The envoy had already sent Hai Rui's memorial to the cabinet, and Hai Rui's end was certain, so they didn't have many scruples about what to say.

"This idiot, I heard that you asked him to take the memorial back before, hehe."

"Hey, this memorandum scolded the two members of the cabinet. I guess it's not good."

"Actually, I also think that after Yan Song was dismissed and Yan Shifan was sentenced to death, although everyone said that the world was clear, the political affairs after Yan Song's dismissal were similar to those before he became prime minister, and not necessarily clear."

"Speak carefully, speak carefully."

Some officials were talking nonsense, and someone next to them immediately reminded them.

Lu Bu had a special status, and he didn't dare to stay in the General Secretary for too long when he heard the officials' comments, so he quickly copied the "Public Security Book" and ran away in a hurry.

Soon, Wei Guangde saw the memorials that Lu Bu had copied back in the value room. As for the "Yongle Dadian" next to him, he put it aside and read it later.

Soon, Wei Guangde frowned. Hai Rui dared to say that he almost scolded the entire officialdom.

It is not surprising that your majesty's heart is deluded by delusion if you focus on Xuanxiu. In order to take care of your own wealth and life, and to keep your black hat, courtiers blindly cater to the emperor's needs.

Hai Rui understands the emperor?
A voice suddenly jumped out of Wei Guangde's mind.

No, it should be Hai Rui who is very good at flattering.

It's no wonder that Hai Rui was able to escape unscathed after scolding so many people in a piece of "Public Security".

Wei Guangde knew that Hai Rui did not die because of this, but lived a good life and gained a great reputation.

Although the whole article pointed out that Emperor Jiajing was wrong, he kept apologizing the emperor.

If he had read it by himself in his previous life, Hai Rui would never have been able to play "Public Security", so he would have done it himself.
