The Censor of the City Inspection Censor in the Ming Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of the Censorate, so he had great power. He had the right to interfere in fighting, random writing, urinating and defecating everywhere, parking, etc. As well as those who came to Beijing to sue from other places, the Censor of the City Inspection Censor also had the right to accept the letter of the letter. If divided according to the later part, it would be the combination of urban management, traffic police, sanitation, and circuit courts.

It is precisely because the censor of the city patrol had great power that Zhu Yuanzhang made rules that the censor of the city patrol had to select honest people to serve as the ones, and they were all nerds who believed the truth. Zhou Guanzheng, the censor of the Hongwu period, was a typical example.

One day, Zhou Guanzheng was wandering around the inner city, and he was about to find some faults from whom he had come out. At this time, a eunuch in the palace brought a bunch of dancers and was about to lead him into the palace. Zhou Guanzheng saw that this was not bad. He called the eunuch and prevented these dancers from entering the palace. The eunuch said with confidence: "This is the emperor's order!" Zhou Guanzheng said, "You should use the emperor to suppress me, just not let me enter the palace. The eunuch had no choice but to go to the palace to inform the emperor.

After a while, the eunuch came out with a smile and said to Zhou Guanzheng: "Sir, this matter is over, the emperor doesn't want a dancer anymore." Zhou Guanzheng said that it would not work, so he had to ask the emperor to come out and tell me personally. Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to come out from the palace in the end and said to Zhou Guanzheng in person: "Because the rituals and music in the harem are not prosperous, I want the concubines to learn. I already know that I was wrong, so you might as well please go back." Zhou Guanzheng gave up.

From this point, we can see how powerful the censors of the Ming Dynasty were. If the emperor made mistakes, he had to apologize in person. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, the censor system became a tool for the elders in the court to fight against differences. Although the censor system changed its nature, the system of censors patrol the city was still adhered to.

After Zhu Hongsan took over the Ming Dynasty, he also inherited this system and selected appropriate officials from the Censorate to serve as the Censor of the Censorate. Today, Li Fugui was in trouble and happened to meet the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor.

Li Fugui sat in the sedan chair, closing his eyes and was dreaming of spring and autumn when he suddenly felt that the sedan chair had stopped.

Li Fugui frowned, it’s not right! His home is far from the street of Muma City, how could he arrive so soon?

Li Fugui stomped his feet with his eyes closed, and then asked, "What's going on?"

The family outside the sedan chair heard the master's words and quickly approached and whispered: "Master, you meet the city inspector's censor on the opposite side!"

In the late Ming Dynasty, military generals and nobles were suppressed by civil servants. When military generals saw civil servants, they would kneel down. Although Li Fugui was a marquis, in order to avoid causing trouble, he still told his family that they would avoid sedan chairs when they met civil servants, let alone those who were mentally ill.

When Li Fugui heard his family say this, he nodded without saying anything. He originally thought that his sedan chair was wearing a lantern with the words "Guangning Marquis' Mansion" written on it. With this lantern, the censor should not cause trouble.

Knowing that the group of people outside stopped leaving in front of Li Fugui's sedan chair, a voice asked, "Are you who are you?"

The Li family quickly said, "If you want to know, we are from the Guangning Marquis Mansion. My master is in the sedan chair!" The family was also smart. When he saw the censor's question, he quickly carried his master out, hoping that the censor would give up his hand and let him go.

That knows that the censor snorted and asked, "Hmph! Marquis of Guangning? Why haven't I heard of this officer?"

"Sir, my marquis is the hereditary marquis of His Majesty. At the same time, my marquis is also the minister of His Majesty's follower in Wuchang!" The family was also a little unhappy. Although the Marquis of Guangning could not compare with those dukes, there were less than ten marquises in the capital now, and his master was about to become the emperor's in-laws, so the Li family was still relatively arrogant.

The Li family originally wanted to brag about their master, but they did not expect that these words angered the Censor of the City Inspection Censor.

"Hmph, I don't care about the official position of the King of Guangning! But don't you know the laws of the court? Don't you know the curfew after one update and three moments? Your master, as a nobleman in the court, is about to set an example and set an example for the people of the world. What does it mean to break the law now? Come! Take these people down and take them back to the yamen for detailed trial!"

The Censor of the City Survey brought fifty armored soldiers, and heard the adults say that one by one, and they rushed up one by one, and they were about to take action.

It’s not because Li Fugui didn’t come out today, but because this kind of thing didn’t happen before. Li Fugui always came out to drink when he had nothing to do before, and it was common for him to go home at night. He had met Jinyiwei, infantry yamen, and city censors, but he didn’t turn against him like this today.

When Li Fugui heard that he was not giving face in the sedan chair, he had no choice but to walk out of the sedan chair himself and bowed and said, "Mr. Censor! I am really Li Fugui, Marquis of Guangning! Please ask the Censor to give up his hands, Li will definitely remember the kindness of his master!"

As a super marquis and a comrade-in-arms of the emperor, the censor was only a seventh-rank. It was already very good that Li Fugui could keep his figure so low. Li Fugui was also an old man in the world back then. He knew that county officials were not as good as being in charge now. Now that he was in the hands of others, he could just say some small words.

Li Fugui had a good plan, but the censor of the city patrol did not give face. The censor got off the horse and looked at Li Fugui with a smile: "You said you are the Marquis of Guangning, what is the proof? And what if you are the Marquis of Guangning? Is there any great emperor? When Emperor Taizu Gao made a mistake, he had to come out to admit his mistake to Censor Zhou. What are you?"

The censor said the last sentence, and said to the soldiers beside him: "What are you waiting for? Not taking action? Take down this fake marquis!"

With Shangguan's order, the soldiers no longer hesitated and took the rope and tied Li Fugui and the family to a strong bond.

Li Fugui is almost sixty years old this year, and there is the opponent of the soldiers. He struggled to be tied up. Li Fugui scolded loudly: "Do you know who I am? Do you know what my relationship is with His Majesty the Emperor? Wait, what is your name? I must tell His Majesty that you will be sent to the imperial prison!"

The censor was in his thirties and heard Li Fugui's joke, "Want to sue? Okay, remember, my official name is Jiang Huan, a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. If you want to sue, go and sue!"

The censor was named Jiang Huan, who was the only son of Jiang Yueguang, the old man who retired. When Jiang Yueguang brought his family to Guangdong, he handed over his family to his friend Qian Qianyi to take care of him. Jiang Yueguang was very knowledgeable, but Jiang Huan could not do it. Jiang Huan was incomparable to the talented child Qian Yiai. Jiang Huan had been studying for more than 20 years and was just a scholar.

Qian Qianyi saw that his old friend's son was not a good source of study, so he couldn't use his power to arrange Jiang Huan into the Ministry of Rites as a clerk.

After more than ten years, under the care of Qian Qianyi and his father Jiang Yueguang, Jiang Huan also became a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. Last year, Jiang Yueguang retired when he was old. Emperor Zhu Hongsan was really embarrassed to see that Lao Jiang worked hard for more than ten years, but in the end he was not a single title, so he issued an order to give Jiang Huan a Jinshi, which was a reward for Jiang Yueguang's contribution to his life for more than ten years.

The one who succeeded Jiang Yueguang into the cabinet was Qu Shixi, not to mention Old Qu, who was Qian Qianyi's student and Jiang Yueguang's student. After Qu Shixi took office, in order to repay Jiang Yueguang's recommendation, he tried his best to bring Jiang Huan into the Censorate and became a seventh-rank censor.

Jiang Huan was originally a sixth rank, but when he went to the Censorate, he became a seventh rank and was demoted to two levels. However, when Jiang Yueguang learned the news, he was very grateful to Qu Shixi. Jiang Yueguang was not crazy about being angry, but his son was demoted and even went to thank Qu Shixi. Instead, the censor of the Censorate was very unusual.

The growth process of officials in the Ming Dynasty was divided into two lines. After passing the Jinshi, he studied well and entered the Hanlin Academy as a Hanlin Academy. He was even more awesome to go to the Prime Minister's Preparatory Class, which is Shujishi. These Hanlin and Shujishi were pillars of the country. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a tradition that he could not enter the cabinet without the Hanlin and Shujishi.

There are also a group of people with average test scores who go to the Sixth Ministry to observe politics. After a year, the work will be assigned according to the test scores. Some people enter the Sixth Ministry and some go to local officials. If there is no chance of these, they will become the fourth-rank prefect. Going further up, they will have the will but lack the ability. However, there are exceptions to everything. There is also a fast lane for promotion outside the Hanlin area, which is the Censorate.

The Censorate is a very magical department. These censors with low official positions and Hanlin were assigned to various subjects, forming a strange group in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Qingliu. These guys are not afraid of chaos. They have to participate in everything in the court. If they succeed, they will become famous all over the world. If they fail, they just need to say "the news of the wind and the news."

Because of the characteristics of the Censorate, these censors are very familiar with the emperor. Everyone knows that it is easy to get familiar with the boss, so when they are promoted, the emperor also thought of these censors and the innocent people at the first time.

These censors seemed to have a low level, but they all held high power. Hu Zongxian, the famous anti-Japanese general at that time, was born in the Censorate. He was an inspector at the beginning, but finally became the governor of Zhizhe. Do you think the Censorate is powerful?

Of course everyone is watching such a good department. Jiang Yueguang also wanted to bring his son to the Censorate. However, Jiang Yueguang, as the cabinet master in charge of the Censorate, brought his son to a good department before retirement. Even if his colleagues didn't scold Jiang Yueguang, he would not have the same face. (The morality of officials in the Ming Dynasty was much better than that of later generations. There were many people who arranged their son to the good department after retirement!)

Jiang Yueguang could not do this and came up with Qu Shixi, but there was no problem. He understood the intention of the old leader. He brought Jiang Huan into the Censorate as the censor shortly after he took office. This great kindness Jiang Yueguang naturally cried with gratitude.

However, the nature of the work of the Censorate and the Ministry of Rites is different. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for specific business and can be promoted if it does well. However, if the Censorate wants to be promoted, it must show off, that is, cursing and impeaching officials.

After Jiang Huan entered the Censorate, he soon found that he had to do this if he wanted to be promoted. However, Jiang Huan had just entered the Censorate and was not qualified to serve as a low-level inspector, and he had no chance to scold him. He had no conditions to impeach officials. Jiang Huan had no choice but to serve as the lowest-level inspector, and at least he could meet unlucky officials.
