Who thinks this is not a big deal? Just go out and step on a bunch of newly minted people. If you don't yell at them, it means you have good qualities and your reading is not in vain!
After the prince finished his attack, the hall became even quieter. The old man knew that once he spoke, the prince might have to clean up the excrement, so he must not speak.
"Since none of you are willing to express your opinions, Chief Assistant? Come and answer my questions!"
Raising a dog for a thousand days and using the dog for a while will give you so many opportunities. If you still can't contribute to me at the court meeting, then this first assistant should be replaced.
"Your Highness, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture should be responsible for this matter!"
Xue Guoguan would not take the blame for this smelly thing, so he hurriedly found a scapegoat. If no one really takes the blame, he will be assigned to sweep the streets and clean up excrement, which will be one of the biggest jokes since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
"Whose surname is Shuntian Prefecture Yin?"
Madan! This requires me to ask one more question, why can't you, a second-rate chief assistant, just do it all at once and then find an excuse to punish you with a small amount of money to relieve your anger?
"Your Highness, the surname of Yin in Shuntian Prefecture is Dai Ming'ao!"
Dai Ao?
The pinyin is daiao, almost pronounced as diao. This person’s English name will give people the illusion of a strong smell...
Shuntian Prefecture Yin is a third-rank official, and he is qualified to attend the palace meetings according to his rank. If the excrement cleaning had not involved this person, everyone would have almost forgotten that there is such a person.
If such a big thing happens, the local parent official will be in bad luck and disgust the prince. It is no joke. Everyone silently agrees with Xue Guoguan's "recommended candidate" in their hearts.
"I obey Yin Daiao of the Heavenly Prefecture and obey the imperial edict!"
The environment in the capital is so bad. As the top local official, he has an unshirkable responsibility, so he appears to be submissive, lest the prince suddenly become angry with him because of the filth incident.
"Since Ai Qing is the governor of Shuntian, you should know that the current environmental situation in the capital has seriously damaged the external image of our Ming Dynasty and made the lives of the people in the capital difficult and miserable. I will give you ten days to follow this As marked on the map, the filth along the first- and second-class streets was cleared, and trash bins were set up at the street corners specifically for dumping solid filth, while liquid filth was poured into newly dug ditches. Yesterday, the Japanese Palace summoned the For businessmen, they will build public toilets at various street intersections for the daily use of people. Regardless of official residences, businesses, or ordinary people, if there is any violation, it will range from a fine to a prison sentence. The specific matters and terms have been written in it. Please read it through, my dear, and if there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me in court."
In order to deal with the local aborigines, in addition to having the soft power of fines and threats, we must also prepare hard infrastructure in advance, such as digging wide ditches, manufacturing a large number of garbage bins, and supplementing them with public toilets throughout the city, so that the environment can be improved. .
You don't need to be fined or jailed for littering, but everyone is used to it. If you don't take harsh measures, it is impossible for these indigenous people to be afraid. If you are not afraid, it is impossible to abide by the new rules. Then your new order will become a fart. .
When Dai Ao heard that this was the case, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was not too difficult to clean up the filth. But the prince had told him so, so he had to do it. However, there were some things that he had to ask about in advance, so he immediately took it from the eunuch. He passed a brochure, read it quickly, thought about it, and then asked: "Your Highness's arrangement, I think it is very appropriate. It can not only clean up the streets, but also remove the odor. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. However, the garbage bin must be negotiated with the Ministry of Works. Newly dug ditches require strong men to complete, and the resulting costs are huge. How can we pay for them? Furthermore, the capital city is vast and the Shuntian government officials are limited, making management more difficult. In addition, the process is cumbersome and requires familiarity. I wonder if the time limit can be extended to Thirty days?”
As the prefect of Shuntian, Dai Ao knew the current situation in the capital very well. What the prince said was true. All the shortcomings did require vigorous efforts to reverse. However, having to do so much work in just ten days was a bit overwhelming.
"The structure of the garbage bin is simple. The Ministry of Industry can complete the review on the same day. The bidding will be held tomorrow. It can be outsourced to many blacksmith shops. No official workshops are needed. Within five days, a large number of them will be installed at the street intersection. New trenches must be dug within ten days. After completion of survey, definition, construction and other matters, the ditches in the first-class streets must be put into use within thirty days, and the ditches in the second-class streets must be put into use within sixty days. All expenses can be reimbursed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. If there is any fraud, regardless of whether Whoever is greedy for ink will be punished with one tael of sticks, five taels will be sent to prison, twenty taels will be demoted to a commoner, and sixty taels will be the leader of an owl's house."
There are only sixteen first-class streets and only thirty-five second-class streets. The total number is only fifty-one. For you to dig culverts, you don’t have to lay sewer pipes several meters deep. Once you dig the ditches and lay them with stone slabs, you are done. .
If you still find this difficult, then you, Shuntian Fuyin, just stop doing it and go home to write and draw.
I am very much looking forward to those money-chasing bugs. After hearing the good news that the prince is going to carry out a large-scale construction project, they will definitely show their arms, roll up their sleeves, and eagerly prepare to feast on the silver-grained goods shipped from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
After hearing the time limit explained by the prince, Dai Ao wanted to find an opportunity to delay it further, but when he heard the second half of the warning, he almost forgot the first half of it.
This is not just a casual talk. The prince confiscated his grandfather's house on the first day he took charge of the country. Unlike his father, punishing corrupt officials was just a formality.
At noon today, Li Juesi and Chen Biqian will be publicly displayed. Anyone who dares to go over and keep company with them should still have time. They can wait for you on Huangquan Road for a while.
Sixty taels of money would be enough to confiscate the house of an owl. Emperor Taizu Gao stipulated that officials who cheated for sixty taels would be flayed. The prince is kind-hearted, and at least he left you a good pair of sewers...
"Does Dai Aiqing have any objection to this?"
Everyone knew that this guy was still trying to delay the deal, so he just blocked it to see if he still dared to bargain with him.
"...I have no objection!"
Dai Ao also heard from his colleagues about the prince's sophistry. He said many things and made many mistakes, so he did not dare to challenge him easily. If he said something wrong and the prince caught him, I will give you a ten-day deadline. If achievement is to be imprisoned, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"That's good!"
Seeing your virtue, I know that you are going to be clever. If we have a chance, we will have a "good chat", and I guarantee that your family will be ruined. Regarding this result, I can definitely do what I say!
"Your Highness, Shen Xun, the head of the Criminal Department, wants to impeach Dai Ao. The order is now pending outside the palace!"
Yang Jinchao lowered his voice and delivered a message to the prince. He had to pass it on. If there was something hidden and he deliberately avoided it, he would have to be scolded when he returned. It was a small thing to be scolded, and he would regret losing favor.
Yaoji was quite surprised, and looked slightly startled. After thinking for a moment, he agreed. I have nothing to do today. You guys are all pretending to be stupid for me, so I'll find something for you to do if you have nothing to do.
"Your Majesty Shen Xun, please come and see..."
Yaoji has automatically ignored the other party's congratulations, thinking: Qingxiang can clear up the trouble, Dai Daguan is really shameless in his official position, at least his colleagues will not buy your fault.
"Shen Aiqing can speak frankly, but she must be concise and to the point!"
I don't want to hear the "long story telling", which is a lot of nonsense and of no use at all. If you have this time, it is better to retire from the court early so that I can design some new inner clothes for Sister Xi'er...
Faced with the hard-won opportunity, Shen Xun complained loudly: "Wang Ningming, the magistrate of Daxing County, was falsely accused of embezzlement by Dai Ao and has been deregistered. I will guarantee with my life that Wang Ningming is an honest official. This is an unjust case!"
Shen Xun had written a memorial about the case before and submitted it to Emperor Chongzhen, but he had not received any reply yet. Hearing that the prince oversees the country and advocates integrity, Dai Ao came to the palace to listen to the decree this time, so he applied with the idea of giving it a try. Impeach this person.
Dai Ao didn't wait for the prince to speak, and hurriedly retorted, fearing that he would lose the opportunity to argue: "Your Highness is wise, and I have always fulfilled my duties and dare not slack off in the slightest. I don't know who Shen Xun accepted, and wanted to overturn the case for Wang Ningming. I admitted the case." There is no misjudgment, I have a clear conscience, and I still hope that His Highness will judge."
Dai Ao knew that Shen Xun was running for Wang Ning's life, but today he dared to go to the palace to openly confront him, which was somewhat beyond his expectation. He didn't know if this enemy had any new evidence.
As the chief judge, Yaoji wanted to show a fair and strict side, so he calmly ordered: "Shen Aiqing said that Wang Ningming is an upright official, and Dai Aiqing said that Wang Ningming is a corrupt official. Since the two sides have opposite views, we must pay attention to the evidence. Dare. Ask Dai Aiqing, how much property was found from Wang Ningming’s home on the day he was arrested? It’s such a big deal, Dai Aiqing couldn’t have forgotten the amount of money, right?”
Today I will see who of you two dares to talk nonsense in front of me. Soon, one of you will have a taste of mining. Maybe you won’t have to go to the mountain building and will be sent directly to follow Li Juesi and Chen Biqian are with us.
Dai Ao was horrified when he heard this. He tried hard to calm down his anxious mood and immediately said: "Your Highness, I am sorry that I am stupid and have a poor memory. I have forgotten the approximate amount!"
This is human nature. Even if the prince wants to ask again, there is nothing he can do. As long as there is delay, he can come up with a corresponding solution.
Yaoji was very generous and said humbly: "It doesn't matter. Come, go to Shuntian Mansion and find the files on this case. Don't leave any behind! Zhen Shu and Zhen Aiqing will send someone to bring the files on this case from the Ministry of Punishment. , I want to make a comparison."
Liu Zhifeng, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Liu Zeshen, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, were both promoted to official positions by the prince. Only the Minister of Justice, Zhen Shu, was lucky enough to continue to stand in the palace. If he did not have the ability to observe words and emotions, he would have gone home with his two subordinates to retire.
Wang Ningming has been demoted to a commoner. It would be a waste of time to bring him to trial from his hometown. For the time being, we can use the files as evidence. Anyway, the truth will be revealed soon.
Regarding this "very reasonable" explanation, Yaoji smiled meaningfully and said: "While taking the time to collect the files, Dai Aiqing might as well evaluate himself. What kind of official is he? Is he an honest official or a corrupt official?"
Why didn't the prince ask Shen Xun and only focused on himself? Could it be that he had already noticed something?
I can't figure out the context for the moment, so I can only take one step and take a look.
In full view of everyone, Dai Ao was so entangled that he could no longer find excuses, so he had to bite the bullet and respond: "Your Highness, I think that I am conscientious and dedicated to my duties, but I still cannot compare with Lord Hai Ruihai. I still have to Learn more from Master Hai."
The problem of honest and corrupt officials was a trap dug by the prince. Dai Ao instinctively realized that he could not fall into the trap, otherwise he would be exposed. He hoped to be able to deal with it, but he was also frightened. He was so nervous that sweat could not stop running down his temples. It's dripping down. I want to wipe it but don't dare to. Once asked, I have to explain something.
Hearing this guy's answer, Yao Ji felt reassured and said with a smile: "Dai Aiqing, the more you smear the truth, the darker it becomes. Aiqing's answer like this clearly means that I want to send people to ransack the house!"
The person involved is a fan, as a comparison, just like some spies who are caught, they will respond without changing their face or heartbeat: I don't know what you mean, you have the wrong person.
Just this sentence exposed his special identity. Ordinary people would be scared to death when they entered this place. How would they answer like this?
What are corrupt officials most afraid of?
Of course the other party is asking you if you are an upright official!
Whenever they are forced to answer, they will evade the important point and take the easy one. If not, they will pretend to be painful, angry, or sad, so it is inevitable that the secret will be exposed.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of being scolded by ghosts. As long as you do it, you have to work hard to cover up your excuses. The means of showing off are different, so it depends on each person's acting skills.
For example, Grandpa Guozhan, Duke Huangdou, Chen Biqian, Li Juesi, and Yang Shicong are all good teaching cases. Dai Ao is a bit low-level and has not seen the wonderful performances of these people.
"...I don't know what your Highness's intentions are!"
The confused Dai Ao was very scared, but he couldn't figure out what flaws he had. How did the prince see it? Was it a trick to lure the snake out of its hole?
"Someone asks me about my talent and learning. If I answer that my talent and learning are not as good as those of Emperor Taizu Gao, what will the other party think?"
Setting a super ambitious goal is just to divert the other party's attention. Why do you do this? It's because you feel guilty.
If you have real talent and knowledge, you can just write a poem and impress the other party. Why bother to argue? And to be looked down upon by others.
Xue Guoguan commented secretly from the side that this was another idiot who showed off his cleverness at the court meeting, but was exposed by the prince.
Now all the civil and military officials in the court knew what happened to Dai Ao. It can be said that the officials who are still standing in the palace today are basically smarter than this Shuntian Prefecture Yin.
Maybe not smarter than him, but definitely luckier than him. At least the prince didn't ask them to evaluate themselves.
"Zhenghua!"
"I'm here!"
"Send someone to give Dai Aiqing some belongings!"
"I obey the decree!"
This and that with me, even Eunuch Hai has moved out. You have to know that Hai Daguan also married a concubine. I don't believe that you don't make money. It doesn’t take much, as long as you copy one thousand taels of silver, you, the Shuntian Prefecture Yin, will be done with it.
We all had lunch for two days, which cost a lot of money. Today, I just let you reimburse me for it. Maybe with Aiqing's property, it can be used for a new year!
Kill Fu Yin and have a good lunch!
It seems a bit disgusting to say this, but it is the truth.
Using corrupt officials' money to pay salaries to honest officials has always been this way, and it was not invented by me.
