The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 264 Zhu Ying's Kindness

Zhan Hui, a scholar in Hongwu's 15th year examination, was appointed as the censor of the supervisory capital in October.

In June of the 16th year of Hongwu, he was appointed as the imperial censor of Zuoqian capital, and in October of the 16th year, he was appointed as the actual professor.

In the first month of the 17th year, he was promoted to the highest official of the Inspectorate, Zuodu Yushi, and in June of the 23rd year of Hongwu, he also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials

This resume, even in all dynasties and dynasties, is absolutely invincible, and it can be called a sky-high.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is a celebrity in front of him. In just over a year, he has been promoted from the seventh rank to the second rank. Such a speed of promotion, and only as a scholar, is almost an exceptional promotion all the way.

The Ministry of Officials, the head of the six ministries, controls the appointment and removal of officials in the world.

There are four clean-up departments under Wenxuan, Yanfeng, Jixun and Kaogong.

Wenxuan Department: In charge of the promotion and transfer of officials.

Seal inspection department: in charge of awarding titles, hereditary ancestral shadows, commendations and gifts, etc.

Jixun Division: In charge of the government affairs of honors, rosters, death and life support.

Kaogong Division: In charge of the government affairs of officials' assessment, promotion and dismissal.

It can be seen from this that the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty, even the nobles, have a very deep relationship with the Ministry of Officials.

Now that there is no more prime minister, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials can be said to be the most authoritative minister in the entire Ming court.

Zhan Hui's father, Zhan Tong, used to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

It stands to reason that in such an important department, Zhu Yuanzhang has no reason to let both father and son join, which will greatly affect the appointment and dismissal of officials.

If father and son are two people who are nepotism, wouldn't they be able to win over officials wantonly and give power to the government?
With Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicious and suspicious character, such a situation is simply a miracle in today's Ming Dynasty.

However, in fact, this has a lot to do with the political orientation of Zhan Hui and his son.

Zhan Hui, also known as the cruel official.

In terms of character, he especially likes heavy punishments, and he has a relatively small mind.

Zhan Hui's colleague Ling Han, when he was promoted to the censor of the right capital, Zhan Hui was the censor of the left capital.

Later Ling Han was impeached by Zhan Hui and demoted to Zuoqian Du Yushi.Later, Zhu Yuanzhang took pity on Ling Han for his old age and gave Ling Han to return to his hometown.

With such a character, Zhan Hui has almost no cronies, and his own ability is really good, which is why he is favored by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But later he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the Lanyu case in history, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi and the official secretary Zhan Hui to interrogate Lanyu. '

Lan Yu yelled that Zhan Hui was his henchman, and the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi immediately ordered Zhan Hui to be taken down, and was subsequently executed.

In fact, Sapphire really did not say this sentence.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was not at all that Zhu Yunqi, who had only worked for a year at that time, could be killed at will.

Zhu Yunqi himself is not considered a bloodthirsty person. After all, he was brought up under the influence of Confucian culture. Even if he wanted to mess with Zhan Hui, at most he would be dismissed from his job and would not kill anyone.

Behind this, it was naturally Zhu Yuanzhang's instruction.

But what happened later has nothing to do with Zhan Hui now.

When Zhan Hui came home from get off work, he drank tea and read a book in his yard.

"Master, this is new tea from my hometown, specially given by the elders of the clan." The butler led the servants and came over with a big box to report.

Zhan Hui put down the book, frowned and said, "Didn't I say, don't make so many in the future."

Of course, Zhan Hui understood the meaning of those clansmen in his hometown, and every time a new tea was released, he would send a large number of them.

Even Zhan Hui really likes to drink the tea from his hometown, but now the tea leaves are almost out of the house.

"You ask the people who brought the tea to bring a message. I am not a person who forgets his roots. There is no need to do this. If there is new tea, there is no need for so much, just a few catties." Zhan Hui ordered.

The butler nodded quickly, and asked his servants to send the tea to the warehouse, and then went out to explain.

Seeing this, Zhan Hui continued to read.

In ancient times, officials like Zhan Hui didn't actually have any entertainment activities themselves. No matter what level of officials they were, they basically went home to study.

Reading is the only pastime.

Just when Zhan Hui was sinking into the study atmosphere, there was a loud noise in the front yard, which interrupted Zhan Hui's interest at once.

The butler also hurried over.

"Master, master, it's not good, the big thing is not good."

Being interrupted, Zhan Hui became angry: "What's going on in the front yard, it's so noisy."

"It's Duke Liang, he, he brought it with him"

Bang!
Before the butler finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared behind the butler, kicked the butler's back, and kicked him to the ground.

Zhan Hui looked at it, and it was Liang Guogong Sapphire.

"Mr. Liang, what are you doing? Who gave you the guts to make trouble in this official's mansion? Why don't you leave quickly!"

Seeing this, Zhan Hui stood up and shouted loudly.

Others are afraid of Sapphire, but he is not.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Lan Yu was originally his opponent, especially the appointment and dismissal of officials related to Lan Yu, and the impeachment.

It has always been the focus of Zhan Hui's attention.

"I've disliked you for a long time, but now you're touching my brother, I want you to look good!"

After the words fell, Lan Yu rushed forward with more than ten brothers.

Zhan Hui is a literati and has no chance to resist at all.

Inside Suzhou City.

Lan Tian was in the public security yamen, looking at the hundreds of brothers under his command, he felt rather complacent.

"Brothers, it's the first day for you and me to take office. Today is a happy day, and I have set up a banquet. Let's have a good meal at the best restaurant in Suzhou City today."

"Starting tomorrow, everyone will officially settle down in this city of Suzhou. Let me tell you the ugly words first. Everything must be done in accordance with the requirements of our Public Security Department."

"Tell everyone one thing. Regarding the requirements of our Public Security Department and the regulations for handling cases, those are all decided by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson himself."

"As the first batch of veterans to retire from the army, we naturally have to set an example for the brothers who will come later."

"If you dare to use your status to act and seek personal gain, and damage the foundation of our Ming Dynasty, I will absolutely not allow the slightest bit of sympathy here."

Lan Tian, ​​wearing Usha on his head and an official uniform, stood in the lobby and said loudly.

As soon as the words came out, those who followed, those who had retired and served as government servants, applauded loudly.

Whether it's the Public Security Department, or the official uniforms of the Public Security Department, the clothes of the yamen servants have all undergone some transformation.

Especially the official uniform of Lantian, which is different from the long sleeves and wide sleeves of other officials, but rather tight, similar to military uniforms to a greater extent, which is convenient for hands and feet.

Including the clothes of the yamen servants, they have also changed to a great extent, and they should become much simpler.

Lan Tian, ​​as the nephew of Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, has a very strong background in Ming Dynasty.

After entering Suzhou City, without any scruples, he directly took the military power from the county magistrate in one go.

Of course, Yang Youwen, the magistrate of Suzhou, had no intention of resisting, and the handover went smoothly.

After a few days, the city of Suzhou has been controlled by Lan Tian.

However, in the past few days, nothing seemed to have happened in the entire city.

"What's going on? Is this Suzhou city so peaceful? There isn't even a single citizen complaining. Everyone is friendly?"

Lan Tian said angrily.

The so-called three fires for a new official to take office, not to mention the new establishment of the Public Security Department, urgently needs to do something to determine its prestige.

However, in the entire city of Suzhou, it seemed that the law and order had become extremely good.

Not even petty theft happened, and Fangshi was peaceful.

You can't even see the gangsters on the street. Some of the local gangsters who bully and dominate the city are all law-abiding.

"My lord, according to the officials, it seems that those big families in Suzhou City deliberately made it look like."

Deputy Commander Wang Ming said.

Wang Ming was also a general under Lan Yu's command before, and this time he came here with Lan Tian.

"Hmph, if the people don't fight with the officials, it's really impossible for the officials to be vegetarians. Do you think that if everything is suppressed, the officials will have nothing to do with you?"

"Deputy Commander Wang, say hello to the brothers, first find out the details of the big households headed in the city, and then find someone who is not open-minded, and arrange for the people to report directly."

"I don't believe it anymore, it's still difficult for me."

Lan Tian said with a cold snort.

Anyway, he used to be a bully on the streets of the capital, so don't be too familiar with some small tricks.

Hearing this, Wang Ming hesitated, and said, "My lord, but there are rules and regulations for the Public Security Department, which were all decided by His Royal Highness Changsun, this."

Currently in the army, everyone admires and appreciates His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.

Because of the existence of the Public Security Department, it means that many veterans have the possibility of resettlement security after retirement.

Although he is a small yamen servant, he still eats official food after all, so he won't be poor, and he won't have to fight for half his life and have to go digging food in the end.

Therefore, Wang Ming really memorized all the rules and regulations set by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson himself.

Lan Tian was not angry when he heard Wang Ming's hesitation, but explained: "Don't be too serious, when I came here, my uncle taught me that I must completely control the forces in Suzhou City. .”

"On this point, my uncle Liang Guogong specifically asked His Highness Changsun for advice. Although His Highness Changsun didn't say it clearly, it means that extraordinary things must be done in extraordinary times."

"In that case, you understand."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming immediately replied: "Your officer understands, let's make arrangements right away."

Yamen of the prefect of Suzhou.

Yang Youwen feels much deserted recently.

Because of the transfer of military power, many yamen servants are now going to the public security department to be on duty.

Naturally, there are fewer people on the prefect's yamen side.

While Yang Youwen was dealing with government affairs, the general judge Xu Zhen rushed over.

"Xu Tongpan, what's the matter, there's been some movement in the public security department recently. It's been three days, except for the big banquet that day, there seems to be no movement at all."

Seeing Xu Zhen, Yang Youwen put down the government documents and asked quickly.

The changes brought about by the public security department are what they are most concerned about at present.

In this regard, Xu Zhen, who is the general judge, obviously has more opportunities to get in touch.

Xu Zhen replied: "The big households in the city have united with several chambers of commerce, including those gangs, and they seem to have reached an agreement. They just don't want to give the public security department a chance."

"It seems that they are determined to confront the Public Security Department. Now they, like poisonous snakes, want to find out the details of the Public Security Department, and then deliver a fatal blow."

Hearing this, Yang Youwen smiled.

He said disdainfully: "These people have been treated like this by His Majesty, and they are really not afraid of death. This was arranged by His Highness Changsun himself. These people don't understand. This has already caused a particularly big disturbance among military households and the army. focus on."

"A friend from the capital sent me news. It is said that His Royal Highness Changsun intends to select a considerable number of military households who have been disarmed and returned to the field to join the Public Security Department."

"Hehe, that's it. The hearts of the military households were directly taken away by His Royal Highness Changsun. All those who tried to resist were just pretending to be a car with their own arms."

As Yang Youwen who came from the capital, he obviously knew more about the inside story.

Therefore, there was no intention of stopping Lantian from going to Suzhou City, and they quickly cooperated to complete the transfer of military power.

Xu Zhen obviously had a lot of news, and he didn't know much about the news.

The remaining big households in Suzhou City obviously have no way out in the capital.

"In this way, my lord, it is almost impossible for these big households and chambers of commerce to confront the Public Security Department. It is only a matter of time."

Xu Zhen said in shock.

Yang Youwen nodded lightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Even if it is the Public Security Department, it is impossible to say that all the big households and chambers of commerce have been wiped out. After all, some of them are killing chickens to scare monkeys."

"This is also an opportunity for us."

"Xu Tongpan, I'll trouble you again. Go to a few companies that have a pretty good relationship with us. Tell them what I just said, and let them know whether it's good or bad."

"Left and right are also going to pass, take advantage of this opportunity, let's make a show first."

"After the talks with these big business associations are completed, take my official's greeting card to the Public Security Department, and I will set up a banquet. I invite Commander Lantian and these big business associations to have a good talk together."

"If my guess is correct, His Royal Highness Zhangsun arranged for the Public Security Department to take over the jurisdiction. He certainly did not want to destroy the prosperity of Suzhou Prefecture too much. It is very likely that there is some support in other aspects."

Yang Youwen said in a deep voice.

After the documents about the Public Security Department came down, he, like others, believed that the main purpose was to decentralize power.

But after careful consideration, I found that the level of this is not only in the decentralization of power.

The veteran's retirement arrangement made His Royal Highness Changsun recognized by almost all the soldiers in the army.

And these soldiers who have benefited will definitely support and support His Royal Highness Changsun when they arrive at the place.

Yang Youwen naturally has a copy of the document of the Public Security Department's regulations, and the requirements in it are completely benevolent in his opinion.

One of the key points is the improvement of the prison of the Public Security Department, from the dungeon to the prison, which shocked Yang Youwen.

It should be noted that the current prison cells are extremely dark, with almost no light at all.

And the new cell in the near future will be like a manor, with a large enough space, and even the requirements for the cell are almost the same as those of ordinary people.

It was from this aspect that Yang Youwen saw the benevolence of His Royal Highness Changsun.

Therefore, His Royal Highness such as the eldest grandson will definitely not use the method of completely destroying Suzhou Mansion to make the Public Security Department sit firmly.
