The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 345 People and scenery of the Metropolitan Procuratorate
What is the need to deal with memorials?Isn't it just administrative experience?

After all, not everything can be solved by patting your head, and some things still need to be considered from a practical perspective.It is impossible for the Son of Heaven not to consider this.

Xie Shen's experience in pastoral care in the past six months seems to be insignificant, but it can help him win at critical moments.

Those who join the cabinet in the future must all be from the Eastern Palace Fuchen, and there is no way to widen the gap on this point.But Xie Shen has more experience in local governance than others, and this is where his advantage lies.

Xie Shen is still more concerned about Hou Xun.After several inquiries, he was basically sure that Hou Xun's political life had ended prematurely.

Although this was obviously a game set up by Eunuch Hu, Hou Xun obviously entered the game carelessly.

Just like Jin Yiwei Qianhu Xiao Nanshan said, Hou Xun has committed the crime of arbitrariness.

However, considering Hou Xun's hard work and achievements, the emperor obviously did not intend to directly demote Hou Xun as a commoner, but let Hou Xun write a letter requesting to be an official.

According to the existing practice, the emperor usually rejects the memorial to beg for bones, and then goes back and forth three times.

But this time the emperor directly agreed to Hou Xun's request, and didn't even bother to act.

For Hou Xun, this result is not unacceptable, at least he can return to Shaanxi to retire unharmed.

Xie Shen couldn't help but sigh a little, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, although Emperor Hongzhi was kind and generous, but in the final analysis he was still the emperor who looked down on all living beings from above.

One word from him can change a person's fate.

Now that he has been awarded the post of Youqian Metropolitan Censor, Xie Shen will naturally go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In the Ming Dynasty, apart from the special institution of the cabinet, the ministries were basically the core of the power struggle.

The ministry refers to the six ministries, and the court refers to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Compared with the Imperial Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate obviously has a much stronger political atmosphere, but overall it is considered a clean yamen.

Although many censors have turned to the big names in the court, there are always those who are not afraid of power to criticize the current situation.

The political atmosphere of the Hongzhi Dynasty was good, so the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not polluted by Yan Song and his son like the Jiajing Dynasty later.

Now the Zhengyin official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is Zuodu Yushi Mingui.

Min Gui, courtesy name Chaoying, was born in Wucheng, Zhejiang Province.

Xie Shen couldn't help but lament the strength of Zhejiang Province's imperial examinations, and any high-ranking official who was drawn randomly was from the same village.

Min Gui was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Tianshun, and he was directly selected as the censor in the selection of officials, which also paved the way for him to enter Lantai in the future.

In Xie Shen's impression, this person used to be the governor of Jiangxi during the Chenghua period, and also held the position of Yushi of Youqian Capital.

If there is no change in the trend of history, the big man Hongzhi will replace Bai Ang as the new minister of punishment in 13.

Such a big man with a stable career is still worth making friends with.

Of course, when Xie Shen went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report on duty today, he did not see Mr. Min because Min Gui was on leave.

What Min Gui filed for sick leave was three months.

It's not difficult to understand if you think about it carefully, after all, Min Gui is already in his sixties this year.

Not to mention that in the Ming Dynasty, when the average life expectancy was thirty to forty, even in later generations this age can be considered a long life.

The old man has always been in good health, but he has been suffering from migraines since he contracted the cold, which is probably related to the stroke.

There is a vacancy for the Imperial Envoy of the Right Capital, and Hou Zan, the imperial censor of the Left Deputy Capital, has become an official. Therefore, it is Zhang Qian, the Imperial Envoy of the Right Capital, who actually presides over the affairs of Lantai.

Mr. Zhang was a Jinshi in Chenghua for 11 years. He was two subjects earlier than Wang Hua, but he was about the same age.

When Xie Shen went to the office to meet the actual highest official of Lantai, Zhang Qian was reading an official document and didn't notice that Xie Shen entered the room.

"The next official pays homage to the boss."

Xie Shen is also helpless, he is 17 years old and ranks in the fourth rank, and the top ranks are all third rank officials, none of them are older than him.He had to call everyone he saw, old man, who said he was born late.

It can be seen that it is necessary to hurry up to become an official.

Only then did Zhang Qian put down the official document and said with a smile: "Jinxiu is here. You came just after the official document from the Ministry of Officials was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Xie Shen thought to himself that the official document that Zhang Qian read just now was the notification document from the Ministry of Officials.

"Your Majesty has been in Lantai for many years, and there are many things that I would like to ask your Majesty for advice."

Zhang Qianguan's calculations are not prosperous, but he is also stable and stable. He is used to seeing juniors who are famous and famous, but he has a different view of the person in front of him.

"It's too modest. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is not as cumbersome as you think. It's natural to see more and do more."

Xie Shen said in his heart that the Metropolitan Procuratorate relies entirely on his mouth, and the talkative party is the most suitable place to develop here, and the affairs are naturally not cumbersome if all the effort is spent on the mouth.

"Thank you, my lord, for your reminder."

To be honest, the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is idle when it is idle, and busy when it is busy.

On weekdays, nothing major happened, and the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had nothing to do, so they naturally chatted about women.

Once there is a big boss confrontation, it is bound to cause a bloody storm.At this time, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be their own masters, and go into battle shirtless to kill in the dark.

It's not that the censors are all aggressive, but that they seek their own politics in their positions.

They are the hawk dogs of the boss, and they will naturally be on the front line when the gods fight.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, if the censors start shrinking their heads at this time, it would be too unprofessional.

What's so dirty about doing the job of spitting stars?

As for why the censor is always such an early bird, it is easy to explain, because the Ming Dynasty only allowed officials to play on rumors.

In other words, only Yushi can catch wind and shadow.

Political struggles are all life and death, and they are all sprayed first for respect, so where will the evidence be presented first.

Furthermore, the most important evidence will not be presented until the final decision is made.

Therefore, Yushi relied on this privilege to become the vanguard of the big shots.Whether it is a cabinet scholar or the six ministers, most of them have a few cronies in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to ensure that someone can stand up as a gunman at a critical moment.

Not to mention, Xie Shen's father-in-law Xu Guan is an exception on this point.Mr. Xu has no intention of fighting for power, so he has no acquaintance with the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"I would like to familiarize myself with the environment first. If there is anything you don't understand, you can directly ask the old man."

Zhang Qian said unhurriedly, giving people the illusion of being a gentleman.

In fact, whoever hangs in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not the best of the best, even if he has a sense of immortality, he has already been wiped out by the world.

"Thank you, my lord, I will take my leave first."

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is very large, so Zhang Qian sent a colleague to take Xie Shenxian around to get acquainted with the working environment.

Xie Shen asked casually, the colleague who brought him to familiarize himself with the environment was surnamed Wang Minglun, styled Kunshan, and now he is an official worshiping the supervisory censor of Fujian Province.

There are thirteen supervisory censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, each with a different number of people.
