Chapter 226 Do you really think no one dares to control Feng Xianguan?
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Dai Guan and said nothing. He only ordered: "Drag him out. The cabinet and the supervising room of the ceremonial supervisor are important places in the center. How can we allow people to shout and make trouble here! Drag them to the Ministry of Household Affairs and serve as the imperial court." Officials must also abide by the eight-hour work system set by the imperial court. While they are still in office, they must continue to do their jobs and not get their salary in vain!”
As Zhu Houzhao spoke, he continued to review the memorial prepared by Wang Qiongpiao. At this time, Jin Yiwei had been ordered to come over and pull Dai Guan up.
Dai Guan did not expect that he would be so ignored by His Majesty the Emperor, so he continued to shout with all his strength: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Listening at the same time will reveal the light and believing will lead to darkness. Don't block the way of speech!"
No matter how Dai Guan shouted, Zhu Houzhao ignored him.
And soon, Dai Guan was dragged directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs by Jin Yiwei.
Lu Shenshi, a member of the Ministry of Revenue, thought that Dai Guan would be executed, but when he saw Dai Guan being dragged back by the Jinyi guards in a state of embarrassment, he was quite shocked for a moment and wondered what was going on. Didn't His Majesty execute him?
At this time, Jinyiwei conveyed Zhu Houzhao's original words, and Lu Shenxing, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, understood it, but his surprise was not reduced at all, and he thought about what your majesty meant.
But no matter what, he knew that he had to obey the emperor's will and let the head of the household department Dai Guan continue to work.
"Master Dai, you're here at the right time. Let's calculate the customs revenue from Manlajiahai City and hand it over to me before tomorrow. Da Situ is urging me!"
As Lu Shenxing spoke, he handed a batch of account books to Dai Guan, but Dai Guan flicked his sleeves and swept the account books compiled by the officials below to the ground. He gave Lu Shenxing a disdainful look and just put Liang Guan on the table. First release:
"I have made up my mind to resign!"
Dai Guan said and waved his sleeves and left, but when he reached the threshold, he stood for a moment, ready to wait for officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to come to retain him and feel sorry for him.
But Lu Shenxing, a member of the Ministry of Revenue, only shouted: "You must resign, but you have to do something! Until His Majesty allows you to resign, you will still be an official of the Ministry of Revenue!"
Dai Guan snorted. He did not expect that the officials from the Ministry of Revenue did not want to retain him or feel sorry for him. He only said:
"A bunch of vulgar and cowardly people!"
Although the Ming Dynasty was still a highly hierarchical country, it was not so well-managed in some aspects. For example, in the officialdom, because of the detached status of scholars, and the long-standing tradition of using small officials to check and balance high officials in the Ming Dynasty, In officialdom, Sometimes some self-proclaimed upright and upright officials are so democratic that they don't take their superiors seriously at all, and even dare to impeach their own superiors. Although such officials often have a reputation of not being willing to bend down to undermine the powerful, they still have a good reputation. It is not conducive to the operation of court affairs.
Because the governance of the empire is not something you can do to make the world clear and the country run normally by showing off your virtues. It also requires officials from the entire system to handle various public affairs in accordance with the established system.
From tax collection to expenditure, army recruitment and transportation to logistics and post-war pensions, prison management and education management, the stability of the empire's rule cannot be separated from the efforts of every official who works in a low-key manner.
But in Dai Guan's eyes, these officials who only knew how to work quietly according to the court rules were just vulgar and cowardly people. They neither dared to go to court to criticize the dragon scales nor resigned to become hermits. They were destined not to leave their name in history a hundred years later.
But what he didn't know was that it was these "ordinary officials" who mostly did not show off, had no big ambitions, and were sometimes timid and cowardly, who supported the foundation of the empire, although they sometimes found ways to take advantage of the court. Corruption matters.
Lu Shenxing was very angry at this time: "Look at what you are capable of, what you can do!" Lu Shenxing couldn't help but shook his head. He could only pick up the account books and let the people below reorganize them, and the officials below were also helpless. He looked at Dai Guan's back At a glance, he hated this kind of boss who claimed to be noble but couldn't do anything well and made trouble for him, making him have to work overtime. Therefore, he couldn't help but said in his heart: "I really hope your majesty will allow him to resign!"
The next day, Han Fu, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, saw that the calculation of the tariffs between Guangdong and Guangxi had not yet been completed. He couldn't help but call Lu Shenxing, a member of the Ministry of Revenue: "What's going on? The results of the calculation of the tariffs between Guangdong and Guangxi have not been submitted yet?!"
"Da Situ is angry, because Dai Guan, the head of the Household Department, wants to resign. In addition, he had previously remonstrated with His Majesty because of his resignation, and then said that he would go home and die. As a result, there is a lack of manpower, so we can only finish the work tonight!"
Lu Shenxing replied.
"That's unreasonable! Since he wants to resign, he should write a letter of resignation. Before getting His Majesty's approval, he is still an official in our Ministry of Revenue. Who gave him the power to leave his post without permission! You are his boss, why don't you control him? Don’t come to explain this matter!”
Han Fu, the Minister of Household Affairs, had learned from Wang Qiong that Dai Guan was not favored by His Majesty, but was simply the result of being ignored by His Majesty, so his attitude naturally hardened and he directly questioned Lu Shenxing loudly.
"Your Majesty is about to come to report. Since you, the Chief Situ, have not returned from the palace, we can only report now," Lu Shenxing replied.
"In writing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Personnel told them that Dai Guan left his post without permission. Now His Majesty intends to regulate the distinction between superiors and subordinates. Although the Ministry of Revenue cannot control him, the Metropolitan Inspectorate and the Ministry of Personnel can!"
After the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs was promulgated in Korean, Lu Shenxing personally wrote and wrote the documents for the Imperial Examination Yuan and the Ministry of Personnel.
The Ministry of Personnel first received the official document from the Ministry of Household Affairs, because Zhang Cong had become the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Dai Guan was quite critical of Zhang Cong's move to immigrate to the border area. Cong was about to become the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so he directly ordered Dai Guan to be dismissed from his post to serve the people. He would never use it and reported it to the cabinet.
Removing one's post to serve the people means no longer having the privileges of a scholar, and never using it means never having the chance to become a scholar. This is the most severe punishment that the official department can impose!
Xue Fengming, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, happened to learn that the Ministry of Household Affairs issued a document about Dai Guan, the head of the Household Department, and then learned that the Ministry of Personnel had dismissed the head of the Household Department, Dai Guan, from his post as a civilian and would never be used again, so he went directly to the court. Shu impeached the Ministry of Personnel and joined the Ministry of Household Affairs to suppress Dai Guan, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
But Xue Fengming's work was in vain. His memorials to avenge Dai Guan and impeach the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Households could not reach the imperial court, because now Zhu Houzhao only read the memorials from Zuodu Yushi of the Ducha Yuan.
If all the censors, the censors of the capital, the censors of the deputy capital, the censors of the capital, and the local patrol censors, and the officials of the entire supervisory system went directly to the emperor, Zhu Houzhao himself would be too busy.
……
Xue Fengming's impeachment memorial against Zhang Cong naturally fell into disgrace. Zhu Houzhao, who now intends to improve the Ming Dynasty's administrative system, will naturally no longer pay attention to a censor's impeachment memorial.
Zhang Cong successfully arrived in the capital, and people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang arrived at the same time as Zhang Cong. Zhu Houzhao met with Zhang Cong, Jinyiwei and Dongchang people once, and was finally convinced that there were no so-called refugees being persecuted by the government. Something happened, so he issued an order to Dongchang:
"The arrest of Xue Fengming, the thirteenth censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the investigation of his slander of important officials in the court, as well as the author of the refugee picture, will be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the future, if the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate fabricates evidence to slander others, Dongchang can directly intervene , established the Supervision Department, and specially inspected the Feng Xianguan of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Do these censors really think that they are Fengxianguan, and no one dares to supervise the officials? Dongchang just supervises them!"
Thank you to book friend Mo Yue Luoyu for the 100 starting coin reward. Thank you to book friend Xiaoxiaoxiaokeke for the 1000 starting coin reward. As I write this, I find that no matter what, the protagonist is still inseparable from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are accustomed to freedom. Yes, The more powerful and junior officials are, the more powerful they are. Senior officials can't do anything to them. Sometimes even the emperor can do something to them. They have to ask Dongchang and Jinyiwei to put a tight curse on them. If they don't work well, All I know is yelling.
