Chapter Thirty-Three

The same scene also occurs in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, the Censorate, the Dali Temple, the Imperial College and other yamen.

Similarly, in these yamen, Gao Qiqian didn't drink a sip of tea, didn't eat a piece of snack, and did not collect a tael of silver.

With the list of absentees, Gao Qiqian returned to the Ganqing Palace without stopping.

"Well, the Ministry of Rites has the most absentees, and there are actually more than a dozen. It seems that the Hanlin Academy is still too idle."

"Hey, ICN has absent from work. It seems that these teachers, regardless of past and present, have not changed their nature. The school is indeed more radical."

"The Censorate also has some trolls, it's understandable."

"There are not many other yamen. As expected, if there is someone who has something to do, there is no time to think about other things."

Haha, the Ministry of Works has the least, no matter how ancient and modern engineering men don’t like to participate in politics.”

Zhu Youjian said some nouns that Gao Qiqian couldn't understand, and he laughed from time to time.

"Have you checked the cash?"

Zhu Youjian laughed and his face changed.

"Go back to the emperor, how dare I do that?"

Gao Qiqian quickly leaned on the ground and knelt down.

"Well, it's good, Gao Fan, remember, if we do supervision work, if we collect the money from the supervisory targets, then that's all the money. Then I will disband the Dongchang and save money."

Gao Qiqian was stunned when he heard this: "Oh, this emperor really doesn't play according to common sense. He likes to consider how to maximize benefits in everything. Whether it is a yamen or an official, if it cannot bring benefits to the emperor, it will be immediately withdrawn. Is this emperor a person who was a accountant in his previous life?'

Gao Qiqian complained for a moment and quickly lowered his head.

If Zhu Youjian could hear Gao Qiqian's complaints, he would definitely laugh. Although he was not an accountant in his previous life, the audit was actually similar to the accountant.

"Hao companion, the errands were done well, and he was rewarded with fifty taels of silver. Each of the other people participating in the operation was also rewarded with five taels of silver."

Gao Qiqian was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

This silver is more comfortable to hold than the ones Xue Fengxiang gave him.

"Go back and tell your subordinates that there will be rewards when the errand is done. If you are corrupt and corrupt, and you dare to deceive me, then Dongchang will be useless for me."

"I won't keep useless things. When I go back, I think about it carefully. In the future, Dongchang wants to do a one-time business, or want to keep a steady stream of work for my brothers to support my family. If I don't work hard, then we'll be laid off together."

Gao Qiqian quickly responded and then retreated.

Today, Gao Qiqian learned to lay off, troll, engineering male, etc. again. After he went back, he quickly wrote it on his notebook, for fear that one day he would forget it and could not keep up with the emperor's thoughts, which would be a disaster.

Gao Qiqian doesn’t want to be a useless person, and the useless emperor will let him lay off. Yes, laid off, it means laid off.

Gao Qiqian was afraid of forgetting, so he quickly recited it silently again.

After sending Gao Qiqian away, Zhu Youjian summoned four cabinet ministers and gave them the list.

The four of them read it once, their faces turned pale immediately, and they looked at each other quickly, and they all knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty is merciful, and he is all bewitched by others. He is confused for a while and then comes to knock on the palace. It is not easy for ten years to go out of here. Your Majesty is kind. Thinking of his first offense, please open the door and give him the opportunity to reform himself."

Huang Liji kowtowed and bowed.

"Your Majesty calms down. I will go out and take these stupid people back to the yamen. I will teach you a good lesson and thank you later."

After Li Guopu finished speaking, he winked at the other three people and then prepared to drive these people away before Zhu Youjian issued a strict order.

The four of them were ready to get up and go to Huangji Gate to save people without waiting for Zhu Youjian to answer.

Faced with the critical and tense atmosphere created by the four people in an instant, Zhu Youjian felt a little confused.

But then Zhu Youjian realized that in the Ming Dynasty, knocking on the palace was an extremely serious political incident. Those who participated in the palace were dismissed from office at the worst, and those who died at the worst. No wonder the cabinet was so nervous.

"Dear everyone!"

The four Pavilion Masters were about to step out of the threshold at this time, but they felt a sank in their hearts when they heard this, but they had to retreat.

Then he stood in the hall anxiously, waiting to bear the wrath of the emperor.

"The cabinet obeys the order!"

When the four of them heard this, their hearts skipped a beat and they quickly knelt down.

‘Oh, what should come is still here. Although this young emperor is kind, he is not able to bear the offensive behavior of knocking on the verge of heaven.’

Seeing the four people with serious expressions, Zhu Youjian held back his laughter and continued to recite:

"Today, there are thousands of officials who do not work for production. They have their salaries and salaries. The people are rich and rich. Since they have received the grace of heaven, they should be loyal to the emperor. Since they have received the burden of the people, they should be diligent and loving the people. Now the six ministers and nine ministers have 43 people. When they were on the yard, they did not know where they went. Since they received the salary of the people, they did not accept the responsibility of the ministers."

"I am ashamed to hear that if I tolerate it, I feel deeply ashamed of the people. Now I have fined the forty-three people for half a month, and the income from the fine will be filled with the capital's Shangjianyuan."

"To show punishment and serve as a warning, the list of forty-three people will be announced. Zhang will be published in various places in the capital and will be published by the residence to spread the word to the world."

"I hope that the people of the Ming Dynasty will fulfill their responsibilities for supervision. If you have any lazy and negligent behavior, you can inform the local Dongjishi Factory."

"I'm here."

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, the four cabinet assistants all breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they felt something was wrong.

But thinking that Zhu Youjian was only fined half a month's salary and did not have any punishments such as dismissal or demotion, the four cabinet ministers did not dare to argue anymore, so as not to change their minds.

"Your Majesty is kind! I will receive the order to thank you!"

The four cabinet masters hurriedly received the order to thank him, and then followed Wang Chengen to the Lijian to draft the order.

After receiving the imperial edict and leaving the Qianqing Sect, the four cabinet masters finally realized something was wrong.

"I have never heard of the responsibility of the people for supervision? The people are stupid and how to fulfill their responsibilities. I wonder what His Majesty meant to mention this?"

Shi Fenglai was a little uneasy.

"Brother Yu is well-educated, so why can't he even remember this? The record of "the people take advantage of the people to harm the officials" in Emperor Taizu Gao's "Great Edict": "

"I often prohibit officials from disturbing the people and harming the people. If corrupt officials harm the people, they will be allowed to be virtuous and virtuous among the people, and lead the elite to come to Beijing. There are officials along the way, and the officials should be convenient and not blocked."

When the other three people heard this, they didn't care about Huang Liji's teasing and their faces immediately changed drastically.

The Great Edict is a law written by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which mainly targets officials. It records various typical cases in detail, as well as severe punishments such as lingchi, killing the clan, peeling the skin, picking tendons, and removing knees.

The Great Edict fully reflects Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of ​​treating officials like enemy enemies and using heavy sanctions in troubled times.

Such severe punishments and laws were naturally unanimously resisted by officials. After Taizu and Chengzu, the Jingrenxuan dynasties were abolished.

Although it was abolished, its influence was far-reaching and lasted for more than 200 years. Officials were ashamed of the tiger when they heard the Great Edict.
