The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 346 Governing a Great Country is Like Cooking Small Fresh Food

Take Fujian Road, where Wang Kunshan is located, as an example, there are ten censors in total.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to go to Fujian for inspection, so the supervisory censor still stays in the Capital Procuratorate most of the time.

This is very different from the censor of the capital and the censor of the deputy capital.Most of the latter will also serve as the governor, governor and pastoral area.

"Thank you, sir, this is your official office."

Xie Shen nodded and responded lightly, and followed Wang Lun into the official office.

This official office is very large, fully accommodating 40 to [-] people.

Most of the officials inside are immersed in reading the official documents, hoping to pick out some mistakes and spray them severely in order to make a name for themselves.

Wang Lun coughed and said, "Master Xie, the new censor of Youqin capital, has arrived, and you all have not come to see him yet."

Xie Shen felt a little helpless, these fourth-rank officials were really not considered high-ranking officials in the capital where high-ranking officials walked everywhere.

But the current situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a bit special.The censor of the capital of Zhengyin is not there, and the highest one is Zhang Qian, the deputy capital censor.The biggest under Zhang Qian and Zhang Yushi seems to be Xie Shen.

That's why Xie Shen actually has the intention of being the second in command. Although the second in command just took office today, he is also the second in command.

Greeted by the enthusiastic Wang Yushi, colleagues in the government office rushed to thank Shen Shen.

Xie Shen also nodded slightly to return the salute, and by the end of the nod, his neck was already sore and unbearable.

This motherfucker is much more tiring than being a magistrate.

When the magistrate only needs to sit in the front office and listen to the reports of the subordinate officials, he does not have to think about the wording at all.

But the Metropolitan Procuratorate is different.

Although the subordinates of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also subordinates, they all have backgrounds and cannot be easily messed with.

Even if you have no background, you may still be a hard-headed guy, and you will be killed if you disagree.

At this time, you still can’t have an outbreak. If you have an outbreak, you have no stomach and can’t tolerate others.

Once the reputation is bad, it is almost impossible to make further progress in the official career.

In comparison, although it is not easy for subordinates to contradict their bosses, they will gain a reputation of not being afraid of the powerful, which is beneficial in the long run.

So the officials of the capital, especially the Metropolitan Procuratorate, are the happiest.Scolding the emperor can gain prestige, and contradicting the boss can also gain prestige.The big deal is that if you pat your butt and return to your hometown as a landlord, you can still gain a good reputation.

What the boss Xie Shen has done is really hard.

After finally greeting with his subordinates and colleagues, he could sit down and have a sip of tea, and then a little eunuch came to announce the decree.

Xie Shen thought that it had nothing to do with him, but who knew that the roll call was passed on to the new Youqian capital censor.

Xie Shen wanted to scold her.

Damn, don't bring such a playful person.

Can't let people take a break?
In desperation, Xie Shen had no choice but to kneel down to accept the imperial edict.

The little eunuch read aloud cracklingly, and said very stiffly: "Master Xie, hurry up and come with our family into the palace to face the saint."

Xie Shen thought to himself that this little eunuch should be out of the palace for the first time to announce the decree, but he was so nervous.

"Thank you father-in-law."

Xie Shen saluted the young eunuch, and followed out without caring about grooming himself.

The big and small censors in the office were all dumbfounded.

This is the imperial censor, Mr. Xie, is the holy family too grand, right?
Putting aside the gossip here, Xie Shen followed the little eunuch into the palace and went straight to the Wenhua Palace.

The reason why I went to the Wenhua Palace instead of the Qianqing Palace was because the emperor was listening to Japanese lectures in the Wenhua Palace today.

Xie Shen had just arrived in front of the Wenhua Hall when he saw a few elders pacing from the door of the hall with their long sleeves swaying, thinking about how to speak.

If you are too enthusiastic, you will be regarded as a follower.It doesn't matter if you are too indifferent, you will be regarded as arrogant.

Xie Shen was thinking to himself, Liu Jian had already walked to Xie Shen's side, and said approvingly: "Jinxiu, Shanxi has experienced a lot, the old man is optimistic about you."

Er, Xie Shen was completely stunned.

He and Liu Jian are not familiar, right?Why did Liu Jian act like he was an acquaintance, so he opened his mouth and kept his eyes on him?
"Your Majesty is absurd, I just want to be loyal to the country."

After finally getting Liu Jian to deal with it, Li Dongyang walked to Xie Shen's side again, and patted him on the shoulder: "If the younger generation seems to be serious about cultivation, then there will be someone who will succeed in the Ming court."

Fortunately, old Xu Ge and Xie Qian did not follow through, otherwise Xie Shen would really suspect that this was planned in advance and wanted to play tricks on him.

After the elders left Wenhua Hall, Xie Shen was led to wait for His Majesty Dan.

The little eunuch went back to reply to the decree not long before he turned back and said to Xie Shen: "Master Xie, Your Majesty announces your audience."

Xie Shen nodded, followed the little eunuch into the main hall of Wenhua Palace.

He has met Emperor Hongzhi several times, so he is not very nervous this time.

I just thought it was strange that Emperor Hongzhi summoned him suddenly.

But he didn't dare to ask the little eunuch, if it was Gu Dayong who passed the decree, he could try it.

Unlike the halls of the harem, the Wenhua Hall is for the emperor to listen to Japanese lectures and the prince of the East Palace to study.

Therefore, the layout is not a standard apse layout.

After Xie Shen walked around the screen, he saw Da Tianzi sitting beside the kang with his eyes closed.

Xie Shen stepped forward, pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar upside down as a courtier's gift.

"The censor of the capital, Xie Shen, pays his respects to His Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes and smiled, "Xie Qing is here."

For this emperor, Xie Shen was really unpredictable.

Emperor Hongzhi really has nothing to choose from the aspect of being diligent in government and caring for the people, he is a model of a wise and benevolent monarch.In addition, it is not good at women, so it is not unreasonable to be regarded as the master of ZTE.

But at the same time, Emperor Hongzhi trusted a traitor like Li Guang, which is a big stain.

It can only be said that no one is perfect, and Emperor Hongzhi has reached his limit.

"I don't know what your Majesty's order is for summoning the humble minister."

Answering every sentence with the emperor must be carefully thought out, just like playing chess.

Not only must the next step be considered, but also three steps and five steps later.

That's why face sanctification is such a chore.Many elders and emperors would sweat all over after answering the questions.

"You are serving as the magistrate in Lu'an this time. I am very relieved for your meritorious service in disaster relief." After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi tightened his face and said, "Are you blaming me for the matter of Hou Baishui?"

Xie Shen hurriedly said: "I dare not."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Why are you just like those old guys, dare not say a word, I thought you would be different. Change the rhetoric, I am tired of hearing it."

Xie Shen had no choice but to say: "I don't understand why His Majesty doesn't punish the traitor."

"Xie Qing still blames me."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "The traitor you are talking about is Hu Zan."

Xie Shen was slightly taken aback, not knowing how to answer.

"I know that Hu Zan is greedy for money, but do you know that most of his greedy money goes to the treasury?"

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Da Ming is like a ship, it needs to be repaired at any time, otherwise it is in danger of capsizing. If there is no money to repair it, how can it be done, but where will the money come from?"

This sentence has a lot of meaning.

Daming's low tax was actually a trap for itself, and if the tax was not collected, the treasury would be empty.
