In fact, for a long time many people thought that the emperor might want to abolish the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Because since Chen Jisheng was convicted and demoted, the emperor's attitude towards the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been extremely cold.
The old man knew that Liu Qiheng was not as good as Chen Jisheng and could not shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Procuratorate, but he never found anyone to replace him.
He ignored his inaction and ignored him, which was like breaking a jar.
Years ago, because of the local censor's random participation in the music, Emperor Long Yan was furious and dismissed Liu Qiheng.
After being dismissed, he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites as a minister, but there was no movement from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and no one was appointed to temporarily act in charge... Has the emperor forgotten us?
Fortunately, the emperor did not forget about the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he sent the famous strongman Zhao Yu again. This was supposed to be a good thing, but in fact it was not much better.
On the first day that Lord Zhao Yu officially took office, he invited a prince, two marquises, and six ministers to participate...
Let's just say that what we all do in the Procuratorate is to offend people, but you, Mr. Zhao, don't have such an offending attitude!
I also report to the emperor that Tan Jing has been cancelled. If not Mr. Zhao, what are you going to do?
Are you sent by the emperor to lead our Metropolitan Procuratorate, or are you here to destroy us?
But life has to go on. First of all, the matter of the Metropolitan Procuratorate being in disrepair must be dealt with immediately, otherwise it will not be a place anymore.
Those who knew it was the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but those who didn't knew it thought it was a ruined temple with sparse incense.
The area of the Ducha Yuan was really a Buddhist temple in the past. Because the Emperor of the Han Dynasty advocated Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, he kicked out all the monks in the temple and transformed it into the Du Cha Yuan.
If you offend me, Buddha Tathagata, what will happen to Emperor Zhu Chou of the Han Dynasty?
Now it's our turn to suffer retribution.
Last summer there was a thunderstorm and all the nearby government offices were fine. However, a thunderstorm shattered the two stone lions at the entrance of our Metropolitan Procuratorate!
This is not a very bad omen in the first place, it indicates that our Metropolitan Procuratorate may be a prostitute...
All in all, morale is quite low.
Therefore, the second thing Zhao Yu did when he took office was to repair the yamen first, otherwise it would indeed be unsightly.
Especially the bases of the two stone lions at the door are still there, but the lions have been smashed to pieces. This has become a joke in the capital. People from out of town will even come to the door to watch and point at it. It is really not a tradition.
"If the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works don't give us money or people, let's forget it." Zhao Yu was already confident, "I have already raised the money and it will be delivered in the afternoon. Everyone should go back and do their own things."
"Master Zhao, we have nothing to do now. We are freezing to death in the yamen. It is better to stay in your room for a while. There are more people and it is warmer." Shen Wen, manager of the Experience Department, folded his hands. Sleeves, sniffling and complaining, "If you have enough money, you can buy some charcoal. It's difficult at this time of year!"
"The dignified Metropolitan Procuratorate has nothing to do?" Zhao Yu said, "Isn't this a big joke? Now pass on my orders to order the thirteen supervisory censors outside to come to Beijing immediately to report on their duties!"
"Master Zhao, is it inappropriate for them to come to Beijing in this weather? It's better to wait until the weather gets warmer in four or five days." Shen Wendao.
"You probably didn't hear clearly." Zhao Yu said, "I asked you to pass on my orders, not to discuss with you!"
"Yes! I obey," Shen Wen said hurriedly.
"Every department is busy, right?" Zhao Yu glanced at his dejected subordinates and was very dissatisfied with their office attitude. "Why is it that everyone has nothing to do? Wang Du, please take your people to the office tomorrow." Ministry, inspect their accounts and ask them to report all their bills over the years, all of them!"
"Yes, ah?" Wang Jian, the governor, was startled when he heard this, "This, this, our Procuratorate has not dealt with this matter for a long time. If we go there rashly now..."
I'm afraid that people will ignore me.
"Inspecting grain storage, inventorying warehouses, and supervising finances are originally the responsibilities of our Metropolitan Procuratorate. How can we go there rashly?" Zhao Yu said, "Go with my warrant. If the Ministry of Revenue does not cooperate, I will follow them. Calculate!"
"Yes, my subordinates, get ready and go early tomorrow morning!" Wang Dushi immediately became energetic. Damn it, someone finally supported him. This time, I, Old Wang, felt more confident.
"Li Dushi, tomorrow you will take people from our department to the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate and identify criminals, and check the prison case files. This investigation started two years ago. In all cases where there is a verdict, you must check the case files in detail. If there is anything Anyone who does not comply with the regulations will be punished by me! I will argue with them." Zhao Yu added.
"Okay!" Li Wentao, the director of the prison, agreed loudly, "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will definitely investigate them and make them moan and groan!"
"Nonsense!" Zhao Yu said, "We are here to monitor, not to cause trouble."
"My subordinates understand!" Li Wentao said, "But my subordinates are looking for trouble. If they are fine, I can't do anything to them. If something happens, they must be dealt with impartially and impeached according to the rules. There is no point in complaining!"
"Yeah." Zhao Yu said nothing more, "Xu Dushi, take your headquarters to the Ministry of Works and check their project accounts and cost details in recent years, starting from the capital. No matter how big or small, they will be investigated inside and outside the palace, and they will all be investigated carefully. If they don't cooperate, I will seal their camp and repair department directly!"
"I obey my orders!" Xuchang, the governor, agreed loudly and confidently.
"In addition, there were a lot of military achievements reported in the battle of Langya. It was inevitable that there would be fraud for personal gain. We also had to send people to supervise the relevant cases. Any doubts should be recorded. Haha, this supervisory army should be ours. The Emperor sent Gong Shouli to handle the Procuratorate's errands. What does he, a eunuch, know?" Zhao Yu said.
There are also the Imperial Guards in the capital, the Forbidden Army, and the Royal Forest Army under the jurisdiction of the Nine Admirals, all sent to monitor! In particular, Jinyiwei's Nanzhen Fusi is the most chaotic and must be monitored closely.
If the Metropolitan Procuratorate says it doesn't care, then it can ignore everything; if it says it takes charge, then it can handle anything.
They were responsible for brushing documents, patrolling warehouses, patrolling rivers, patrolling cities, cultivating fields, printing horses, inspecting grain storage, supervising grain collection, ordering sergeants at gates, managing the capital camp, comparing weapons, and even the rural examinations.
Of course they have no management power, but they have the power of supervision and impeachment.
In other words, no matter what they want to investigate, all officials in the imperial court and local departments must cooperate. Anyone who dares to say a word will be seen in front of the emperor.
I can't kill you!
Chen Wenqi, Ma Wuming, Lu Jing and others still don't know how to die.
While sitting in the Yamen in the afternoon, some of my subordinates came up to tell me that a group of carriages and horses had come down the street and were going straight to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. We asked about it and said that we were going to deliver money to them...
Send money to the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Is there such a thing?
