Zhou Zheng sat in the classroom, quietly looking at the thick pile of papers in front of him.
Yao Tongshun's selection basically does not require him to do anything, the purpose is to familiarize him with related matters.
Looking at Zhou Zheng, he had a very direct understanding of the situation of the Ming court.
For example, the inspection of lawsuits and prisons has long been in vain, and unjust cases abound. The supervisory censor either has his eyes open or he has no right to interfere.
For example, patrolling the inner warehouse, in fact, can not enter the household department at all, and it has long been a rule in the ancestral law.
For example, to check money and food, you can only wait for the local official documents in the classroom, and then stamp it, and you can't do anything else.
As for the examinations in supervising prefectures and counties, the ceremonies of sacrificial ceremonies, the promotion of goodness and the elimination of evil, etc., have long been plausible.
In other words, many of the powers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have gradually been corroded, lost, and emptied, including the 13 supervisory histories!
"So far..." Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and shook his head.
From a glimpse, I know that the whole leopard is like this, and other departments and localities are even more unbearable. The government of the Ming Dynasty has been corrupted to such an extent, not to mention Chongzhen, and the immortals cannot be saved.
Zhou Zheng continued to watch slowly, familiar with the mode of operation here.
Yao Tongshun had already left the Metropolitan Procuratorate at this moment and went straight to a restaurant not far from Gyeonggi-do Street.
In the restaurant, there was a thin middle-aged man with a dignified look, sitting in a chair and listening to the report of the three young people in front of him.
"The official book, the small silver from the household department has already been delivered, and in return, it's okay."
"The official letter, three thousand taels from the official department have also been sent there. In reply, the official document of the transfer will come out within three days, so we don't need to rush."
"The official letter, Mr. Huo also sent it there, and the answer is, next June."
The thin middle-aged man is the official book of Huzhou Prefecture and his name is Chen Bielu.
The so-called official book refers to the six houses of officials, households, rituals, workers, soldiers, and punishments set up under the prefect’s yamen, corresponding to the six branches of the imperial court, the head of each house, called "book" or Jingcheng.
There are some people under each room, without fame, no position, just running errands, calling them subordinates, book clerks, book clerks, and so on.
This time, Chen Bielu was a person sent by the Huzhou government to Beijing to make arrangements. One was for Xia Liang, and the other was for the movement of relationships, to prevent certain things, and at the same time to seek benefits for them and the way to promotion.
Chen Bielu listened, with a satisfied expression, and said, "Well, it's almost done this time, clean up, and you can go back in three days."
One of the subordinates said, "Officials, the official documents on the supervisory official side have not yet come out."
Chen Bielu smiled and said, "I met Huang Yushi the day before yesterday. He said that the official document will come down today, and we will send it to the Ministry of Households, and our task will be completed."
Smiles appeared on the faces of several officials. They ran all the way to the capital, and they finally completed the task successfully and can go back.
Bang bang bang
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time Xiao Er's voice sounded: "Guest officer, there is a visitor, saying it is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Chen Bielu was overjoyed and stood up and said, "Here is the official document."
Chen Bielu came over, opened the door, and saw Yao Tongshun.
Although Yao Tongshun was not a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was very confident in the face of these local officials, and politely raised his hand, saying, "Here is the experience department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the new Zhejiang Provincial Supervisory Yushi, who is in charge of the Huzhou Prefecture. Zhou Yushi asked me to send a message, he will review your official document as soon as possible, please don’t worry."
Chen Bielu's smile suddenly turned into panic, and he quickly said, "Zhou Yushi? Who is Zhou Yushi, the new one? What about Huang Yushi? He was the day before yesterday..."
Chen Bielu quickly closed the conversation, his eyes flickering sharply. He is not a fool, let alone a fledgling, and he doesn't know some taboos in it.
Yao Tongshun looked at Chen Bielu's expression and said, "The words have arrived, let's say goodbye." After speaking, he strode away.
Yao Tongshun is not even stupid. After he calmed down, he already understood Zhou Zheng's intentions.
Huang Shunxun clearly wanted to kill two birds with one stone and eat Zhou Zheng and Huzhou Mansion. Now Zhou Zheng Chen Bielu has not obtained the papers, and before sending them to the Ministry of Households, Huang Shunxun was dismantled and Huang Shunxun was beaten with eggs!
Chen Bielu watched Yao Tongshun go, and thought of something instantly, and quickly closed the door.
A few small officials are inexplicable, how come the supervisory officer of the court of Huzhou has been replaced? Why did no one notify them? Also, why did Huang Yushi say that their official documents will be issued today
They were very nervous, and turned around after Chen Bielu.
Chen Bielu frowned, his face solemn, and said, "I don't know what happened, but since Huang Shunyu is no longer in charge of Huzhou, then he can't believe what he said."
A subordinate said, "My lord, what should we do then? We have already lost a lot of time. We have already told the Ministry of Households that the official documents will be sent today."
Chen Bielu's face changed for a while, and said: "First, you should find out exactly what changes have been made to the supervisory histories of Zhejiang Dao? Find out who is in charge of Huzhou’s supervisory historians and what background? Second, raise another question. A pen of silver, one thousand taels, be quick, and borrow too!"
One of the subordinates looked startled and said, "Officials, why do you need to raise money?"
Although Chen Bielu didn't know the joints inside, he had a new supervisor in Huzhou, and he always had to send gifts to facilitate future actions.
"Go!" Chen Bielu was a little annoyed and waved his hand.
When the three subordinates saw them, they hurriedly responded and hurried out.
Chen Bielu sat in the room, restless, frowning, always feeling that something was going to happen.
Not long after, Xiao Er knocked on the door again and said, "Guest officer, someone is looking for it."
Chen Bielu is a bird of fright now. When he heard that he opened the door in a hurry, he saw a man who looked like a subordinate official, handed a paper bag, and said with a smile, "I am sent by Huang Yushi, this is the official document you want. ."
Chen Bielu almost grabbed it and opened the document.
I saw that this official document was not originally submitted by the Huzhou Mansion, but was reproduced, and the time on it has been changed.
After Huang Shunzhu’s confession, this clerk looked at Chen Bielu’s expression and explained, "Huang Yushi said, you know the changes in the prefectural court a while ago. He is afraid that there will be more branches and changes the time and date. You should send it to the Ministry of Households as soon as possible. After this matter, please return to Huzhou sooner."
Chen Bielu was expressionless, and said lightly, "There is work."
The official looked at Chen Bielu's expression, feeling a little strange, and didn't ask much to leave quickly.
Chen Bielu took this document into the room, sat in a chair, staring at the document, his eyes gloomy.
Huang Shun's actions like this are obviously illegal. If Xin Yushi finds out and investigates them afterwards, they will not be able to eat in the Huzhou Mansion! What's more, with the new supervisory Yushi, Huang Shunbao has swallowed their money. I didn't even know a word, and deliberately changed the time, there is an inexplicable weird here!
