Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 366 Is there any report of Yu Qian’s defense?
In the third year of Qianxi's reign, it was the fourth day of the ninth lunar month.

early morning.

The Forbidden City, the most majestic city in the world today, is shrouded in the continuous autumn rain like white smoke, like a heavenly palace on earth.

At this time, the court meeting in Fengtian Palace was coming to an end.

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat."

Liu Jingzhong, the eunuch accompanying the eunuch, sang and shouted loudly.

Zhu Gaoxu looked down at the ministers and found that no one came out to report, so he was about to get up and leave.

At this moment, a green-robed official standing at the back of the queue and near the threshold walked out of the queue.

He walked to the palace, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, in order to lay out wired telegraph, Yu Qian, the supervisory censor, demolished more than [-] households at one time without consulting the local officials, forcing [-] people to leave their homes. I thought that Yu Qian's move was unfair. It’s really inappropriate!”

Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, frowned immediately when he saw the official who spoke. This person was Tao Gui, who had just taken office.

Customized in the 24th year of Hongwu, each of the six subjects was assigned to one person from Shizhong, which was the eighth rank; the left and right were each assigned to one member from Shizhong, which was the eighth rank; there were 40 people in Shizhong, including four from the official department and eight from the household department. There are six people in the etiquette department, ten in the military department, eight in the criminal department, four in the engineering department, and the ninth grade.

He was responsible for serving as attendants in charge of matters, admonishing, repairing problems, collecting materials, reviewing, sealing and refuting edicts, refuting the memorials submitted by hundreds of departments, supervising the six ministries and departments, and impeaching hundreds of officials.

He is also responsible for recording and compiling the imperial edicts and memorials, and supervising the implementation of various departments; serving as examiners for rural examinations, co-examiners for joint examinations, and examiners for palace examinations; serving as chief and deputy envoys when canonizing clans, vassals, or informing foreign countries; and Accept unjust lawsuits, etc.

The six subjects give weight and importance to the low-ranking officials, and complement each other with the imperial censor.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned by Tao Gui's sudden words and asked, "Are you reporting this to me because you want to impeach Yu Qian?"

"Your Majesty, I am just discussing the matter."

Tao Gui said respectfully.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "I said at the beginning that the local officials of Shaanxi and Liaodong provinces must assist Yu Qian to handle this matter well, instead of stumbling upon Yu Qian. What's more, Yu Qian is the imperial envoy appointed by me, and he needs to recruit people to do his work. Does the local magistrate agree?"

Tao Gui bowed and said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, 'things are done slowly and smoothly', it's not that it can't be done, but that people like Yu Qian are eager for success and don't care about the lives of the people. They only care about making Your Majesty happy. This is a flattering villain."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he just looked at Tao Gui coldly and said nothing.

He knew that besides Tao Gui, someone would definitely jump out to accuse Yu Qian.

Sure enough, just after Tao Gui finished speaking, Li Zhong, a soldier from Shaanxi Province, walked out of the class.

Li Zhong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the sage once said, 'Governing a big country is like cooking small vegetables.' Shaanxi and Liaodong provinces border on the desert. Many towns are home to a large number of naturalized people. The people's hearts are not unified, just like small fish in the river." It's the same as in the pot, if you tumble it a few times it will be rotten. If anything happens on the border between the two provinces, he Yu Qian will be the sinner of our Ming Dynasty."

The "naturalized people" here refer to the people who submit and surrender.

"Book of Han: The Legend of the Xiongnu": "The Xiongnu were in civil strife, and the five danyus were fighting to establish themselves. Every day, they called Hanxie to bring his country to the country, and they supported him and became his ministers."

"Book of Jin: Chronicles of Emperor Wu": "In March of the fifth year of Xianning, the Xiongnu governor Ba Yixu led his tribe to become naturalized."

In the original history, in the sixth year of Longqing's reign, the Tatar leader Anda Khan, who was stationed in Tumochuan, summoned skilled craftsmen from all ethnic groups to imitate the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and broke ground to build eight buildings and glazed buildings in the shadow of Daqing Mountain and on the bank of the Yellow River. The majestic and beautiful city of Jinyin Palace. After the city was completed, the Ming court named it "Guihua City".

Therefore, when courtiers mentioned "naturalized people" in their discussions, it was not a discriminatory term, but a specific term.

"Who has more to say?"

Zhu Gaoxu ignored what Li Zhong said just now, but looked at the ministers expressionlessly and asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that Yu Qian used the tombs to hinder the construction of roads and cable telegraphs. He extorted local gentry and people in Shaanxi and made a lot of money."

An official in green robe walked out of the class and bowed in salute.

Zhu Gaoxu found out that this person turned out to be Yu Qian, a fellow from Qiantang. Xie Jun, the current censor of the city, was suddenly surprised.

However, Zhu Gaoxu still did not respond to what Xie Jun said.

"Your Majesty, the grassland has only been pacified for a year, and a large number of people who have surrendered have unstable hearts. If you allow Yu Qian to harass the people in the border towns of the two provinces, it will inevitably trigger a civil uprising!" Li Xin, the censor of Youqiandu, walked out of the class and bowed after bowing. , said very excitedly: "My hometown of Wu Liuji is also on the list of Yu Qian's demolition. I thought of this late at night, and I wish I could fight to the death with Yu Qian for the sake of those Li people."

Zhu Gaoxu calmly watched the performance of Li Xin, the censor of Youqiandu, and stroked his beard, but still did not answer.

In the 15th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the Yushitai into the Duchayuan. As the highest supervisory office in the Ming Dynasty, there were one left and right censors of the capital, each with the second rank; one left and deputy censor each, with the third rank; and the left and right censors of the capital. Each person has one person, who is of the fourth grade. Their subordinate officials include experience, secretary, Zhaomo, jailer, etc.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Sections were not subordinate to each other. They were both directly ordered by the emperor, each performed its own duties, and challenged each other.

As for local supervision, Zhu Yuanzhang set up thirteen supervisory censors. The establishment of thirteen supervisory departments broke the boundaries of administrative divisions and made it difficult for supervisors and those under supervision to form an interest relationship.

According to the responsibilities of the supervisory censor, it can be subdivided into patrolling local areas and special inspections.

The supervisory censor took turns to inspect places outside the capital. When he went out on patrol, he was called the supervisory censor. When he returned to each province after the inspection and was engaged in a special task, he was also called the supervisory censor.

The roles of supervisory censors and patrol censors are interchangeable, and daily supervision and inspection by inspectors are also connected with each other.

After Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, at Zhu Gaoxu's request, he also established a city patrol censor in the capital, which was also affiliated with the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Youqiandu Yushi is a high-ranking official of the fourth rank. Li Xin usually has no enmity with Yu Qian. Now he stood up and accused Yu Qian. Most likely, he was bribed by the person Yu Qian offended.

Zhu Gaoxu has a clear understanding of this, because he is basically aware of Yu Qian's local actions.

The guards around Yu Qian are all from the Jinyi Guards, and there are also Jinyi guards secretly protecting him to ensure that he is not assassinated by evildoers.

Generally, if there is no emergency, Zhu Gaoxu will receive a detailed report on Yu Qian's recent actions every ten days.

Since the grassland was cleared, his attention to wired telegraphy and the progress of Qian's laying of wired telegraphy were second only to his concern for Prince Zhu Zhanyu's handling of grassland affairs.

"Who has more to say?"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the ministers and asked loudly again.

"Your Majesty, Yu Qian is young and energetic, and he has indeed acted too hastily. Yesterday, the General Affairs Department received 120 three reports, and 65 of them were actually filed against Yu Qian."

The new General Secretary Xie Lun had an upright temperament. After hesitating for a long time, he still walked out of the class, bowed and saluted, and played his words truthfully.

Zhu Gaoxu knew Xie Lun's nature and was not angry. He just asked indifferently: "Is there any report of Yu Qian's defense?"

"Return to Your Majesty, no."

Xie Lun said respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu stood up, stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at the ministers in the hall, and called the official positions and names of the four people in turn.

"Li Xin, the censor of the right capital, Xie Jun, the censor of the city patrol, Tao Gui, the official officer, and Li Zhong, the military officer."

"The minister is here."

Li Xin, Xie Jun, Tao Gui, and Li Zhong walked out of the class one after another and bowed in salute.

"You have all heard that the General Affairs Department received more than 60 reports against Yu Qian yesterday, but Yu Qian did not submit a single report in defense."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a majestic look on his face: "You are talking about Yu Qian here, but Yu Qian is leading the Zhili soldiers assigned to him, working hard in the sun and the sun on building roads and bridges, laying cable telegraphs, and working hard without complaint!"

"I hope you will think about it carefully when you go back. When you sue Yu Qian, are you doing it for the imperial court, or are you jealous and for your own selfish gain?"

"I dare not wait!"

Li Xin and others quickly knelt down to apologize.

Zhu Gaoxu said coldly: "Retreat!"
