Dajin royal family

Chapter 545

"Sir Shangguan, are you satisfied with this treatment?" Jiang Chengxiao's expression turned ugly.

This was the first time he was forced to give in by the censor, especially this person was stuffed into the censor's office by him.

Shangguan Di clasped his hands and said solemnly: "Shangsheng Wang's candlelight, sincerity is the blessing of all people."

The corner of Pei Ju's mouth twitched, the mad dog Yushi Yamen was finally about to show its ferocious face.

He glanced at Jiang Chengxiao in surprise, feeling complicated in his heart.This time King Zhao's confession does not mean that King Zhao is wrong, it can only prove that King Zhao is not closed to his words, he is really a wise king.

Zheng Shanyuan closed his eyes slightly, exhaled lightly, and silently remembered the name Shangguan Di firmly in his heart.

Don't let him take the chance!
Jiang Chengxiao's thumbnail almost got stuck in his flesh, and he let out a low snort.

The matter of the household department was over for a while, but the hearts of the officials in the palace tensed up.A mad dog named Shangguan Di in Yushi Yamen has penetrated into their hearts, and he was the first one to give in to the king.

Awesome!

Mai Congde glanced at the gloomy King Zhao, greeted the eighteen generations of Shangguan Di's ancestors in his heart, and then shouted loudly: "The ministers will play again."

Wei Chijun Shi Shiran, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, got up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this time, we have mobilized 20 soldiers and [-] civilians to recover Dongping County and Dongjun County in the Central Plains and recover Jingzhao County, Fengyi County, There are more than [-] casualties in Fufeng County, and more than pensions, the ministers have requested that for the strategy of the Central Plains, we ask to recruit troops in the coming year."

"Yes." Jiang Chengxiao said: "For the matter of recruiting troops, I will discuss it with the generals alone."

No one dared to find fault with the affairs of the Ministry of War, and it was calm for a while.

After the end of the Ministry of War, Si Nong Temple, Taipu Temple, Taichang Temple and other Si Yamen reported government affairs.

Two hours passed in a flash, and the officials were a little tired.

After the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites reported the relevant government affairs, it was the turn of the Ministry of Punishment.

Wei Shijian stood up together, like a big star, and the ministers all cast expectant eyes.What happened in the household department just now was exciting enough, but they knew that what happened in the criminal department would be even more exciting.

"Your servant was ordered to thoroughly investigate the case of officials forcibly buying grain together with Dali Temple Secretary Gu Ciming. The officials involved in the case have been arrested and put in prison. All the evidence is available. Please show me."

"My Majesty, please show me." After Gu Ciming finished speaking, he glanced at Yushi, especially Shangguan Di.

Sure enough, after Gu Ciming finished speaking, Lu Huaishen got up immediately.

"Your Majesty, the case of officials forcibly buying grain is a shame to our dynasty. Such evils that harm and oppress the people have happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven. It is not only the oversight of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, but also the oversight of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Officials, in charge of all officials, inspects promotions and performance evaluations. The Ministry of Rites and the officials in charge have cultivated their character, and for such evil officials, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials cannot absolve themselves of the blame!"

Pei Ju drooped his eyelids.

Lu Huaishen's attack was within his expectation, it would be strange if he didn't.

Gu Ciming's cheeks twitched, he really wanted to refute that these shitty things had something to do with Dali Temple, they were only responsible for reviewing the cases, not the officials!
After what happened to the household department just now, he doesn't want to fight these mad dogs like Yushi Yamen for the time being.

I can't bear it when I'm old.

Pei Ju took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites did not check the character of officials, and I know I was wrong."

Lu Huaishen: "???"

This is different from what he guessed, Pei Ju is actually cowardly?

Wang Hong also looked at Pei Ju in surprise.

Isn't that right? There's no justification?

The ministers were also a little surprised by Pei Ju's performance. Many people were still wondering whether the impact brought by the censor officer Di just now was too great, so that Pei Ju did not dare to shirk responsibility at will?

Jiang Chengxiao took a meaningful look at Pei Ju, and then slowly said: "The case of the officials forcibly buying grain, as Lu Aiqing said, is not due to the negligence of one department and one office. You are living in the temple, and there are many negligence in the affairs below. This is also the omission of the court."

"Although the Ministry of Rites is at fault this time, the main responsibility is not with the Ministry of Rites. The so-called those who are close to the vermilion are those who are red and those who are close to the ink are black. The imperial court's policy runs counter to that and oppresses good people."

"Since Mr. Pei has admitted his mistake, he will be fined for one year."

Jiang Chengxiao lifted it lightly.

Many ministers looked at the censors headed by Lu Huaishen, wanting to see if they would do anything next.

But this time they were disappointed, because Lu Huaishen did not speak, and the little mad dog Shangguan Di also frowned and remained silent.

The censors also wanted to make trouble for Pei Ju, but the problem is that King Zhao explained very clearly that 'people will always change', you can't ask the Ministry of Rites to follow the low-level officials to investigate all day, that's unrealistic and not in line with the system.

As said, the Ministry of Rites is not responsible for inspecting officials.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pei Ju cupped his hands, and continued: "Most of the officials involved in this case are descendants of Pei's family or their in-laws, and I also have the fault of disciplining the lack of children in the family. Therefore, I ask the king to punish."

Lu Huaishen squinted his eyes, he could see that this old fox must have pleaded guilty to King Zhao in private, otherwise he would not have retreated so boldly.

You know, just now the king removed Zheng Shanyuan from his position as minister.

Jiang Chengxiao said with emotion: "Pei Gong understands righteousness deeply, and I really am the pillar!"

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. This time, the follow-up matters of Bingzhou's forced purchase of grain will be handled by Mr. Pei personally. I hope Mr. Pei will act impartially, return the grain and fertile land owed by the people, and properly appease them."

"I obey the order!" Pei Ju bowed.

At this point, how could Wang Hong not understand that Pei Ju had definitely reached some kind of agreement with King Zhao, otherwise King Zhao would personally end up exonerating him.

If King Zhao hadn't prepared that speech in advance, how could they have sung it like this!
He felt deeply betrayed.

Pei Ju rolled up his sleeves and heaved a sigh of relief.He wasn't nervous at first, but after Zheng Shanyuan's incident happened, he suddenly became nervous. Something happened to Yushi Yamen, which might disrupt his plan.

Now, King Zhao's remarks left Yushi Yamen speechless, and the matter passed safely.

There are some things that others say are far less effective than what you say yourself. The things involved in the case of Pei's children have been verified. If he doesn't say it and waits for Lu Huaishen to say it, it will become a big trouble.

Seeing that Pei Ju escaped safely, Lu Huaishen would not let Wang Hong go!
"Your Majesty, I have impeached Wang Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and indulged the children of the clan to behave mischievously. He even formed a party in the Ministry of Officials for personal gain, arbitrarily determined the evaluation of officials' performance, and protected the officials and the common people."

Lu Huaishen fired with full firepower, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, he cordially greeted all the subordinates of the Ministry of Officials, and spit flew straight from his mouth.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Di immediately took over, followed by the base of citing scriptures, counting the faults of the officials of the Ministry of Officials from the beginning to the end, and also mentioned the faults of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment along the way. One word; severe punishment!
After what happened to Shangguan Di, the combat effectiveness of the censors soared. They seemed to understand that King Zhao is a person who is easy to "accept advice", so they opened their mouths, boldly!
Of course, the Ministry of Officials was unwilling to sit still. The lesson of the Ministry of Household Affairs was just around the corner, and Wang Hong didn't want to be dismissed from the post of Minister.

The two sides started a verbal debate in Mingde Hall.

The censor is nothing more than finding fault with the officials everywhere, and the officials naturally refute everywhere.Arguing and arguing, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were also criticized by the censor, and then the relevant officials naturally quarreled.

The two sides pointed and pointed, and some senior officials were humiliated by the censor, who cursed and left a sentence of 'gentle scum', and then continued to quarrel.

Noisy, like a vegetable market.

Jiang Chengxiao was no stranger to this kind of scene. When the late emperor was in power, the ministers also quarreled like this.

As he listened to their argument, he rubbed his calf.

It has been two hours since I went to court, but my body is fine, but my spirit is in a tense state, and I feel a little tired if I relax a little.

After arguing over a cup of tea, the two sides are still arguing.

To be honest, the censors were a little too big this time. It doesn't matter if they complain about the Ministry of Officials. Anyway, the Ministry of Officials' faults cannot be escaped, but it would be unwise to involve the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

These two officials are not afraid of talkative talk.

Jin Lu opened his mouth and came, with the aura of interrogating criminals, he refuted Yushi with righteous words, and even the Ministry of punishment directly stated that the officials below are such fish and meat people, why didn't your Yushi Yamen report to the court as soon as possible?
Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Jiang Chengxiao glanced at Mai Congde.

Mai Cong Degao shouted: "Silence!"

The voice fell, and they moved their hands in all directions, and each returned to their seats.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry were a little unlucky, they happened to be caught in the middle of the Yushi Yamen, and their official hats were covered with wet saliva.
