At this time, the capital was completely in chaos! From the dignitaries to the peddlers and lackeys, everyone is discussing Jin Yiwei's news about the public trial! This makes people who originally thought that Jin Yiwei were all villains become a little shaken!
After all, you can see at a glance whether the public trial is true or not! That means Jin Yiwei has really arrested hundreds of officials, and they are all corrupt officials without falsehood! Does that mean that all these officials in Ming Dynasty are corrupt officials? They are not at all like what they claim to be, they are moral people after reading the books of sages!琇书蛧
But those officials and scholars fiercely opposed it! They believe that it is not impossible to interrogate prisoners in public, but they cannot interrogate officials in public! Because this will destroy the prestige of officials, and from now on, ordinary people will no longer be afraid of officials, which will cause more troubles!
In short, everyone in the capital is discussing this matter according to their own position, and they are all waiting for the public trial in five days! At the same time, everyone wants to see what it's like inside Beizhen Fusi? After all, Jin Yiwei was too mysterious in the past, and the terror and majesty derived from the mystery made them cringe! So when we had the opportunity to explore the secrets, everyone became curious!
On the evening of that day, several cabinet ministers summoned their subordinates to their homes and informed them of the opinions reached by the cabinet. On the one hand, they are required to keep an eye on Jin Yiwei, find their faults and provide concrete evidence! Another thing is that everyone should be more restrained, and those who can't help but don't reach out for now!
But just as they guessed, this meeting was not a success! Because all the officials participating in the meeting said that it would be okay if they didn’t get paid, but it was simply impossible for the person below to not get paid! The purpose of the officials below is very clear. They are officials to make money. Anyone who blocks their financial path is equivalent to blocking their official path, and they are enemies! Even the Shangguan who promoted himself is no exception!
Getting such an answer was naturally expected by several pavilion elders. Of course this doesn't alleviate their headaches. Now they have further realized the terrifying power of officialdom!
For a long time, civil servants have been determined to establish a system that can remove the influence of the emperor and nobles, and obtain sufficient benefits based on this system!
But any organization is biological, which means that it must first ensure its own survival before it can make other actions! As for change, there must be enough external stimulation to make them feel that they have the possibility of death before there is the possibility of change! It is important to emphasize here that there is the possibility of change, not that there will be change!
The orders handed down from the cabinet today are against the nature of this organization, because as the most basic cells in the entire organization, that is, the officials and staff, they are the foundation of the entire organization! They will naturally put their own family's survival above the entire officialdom system. This is natural! Because only the most basic cells remain alive, the entire tissue has the possibility of survival! So asking them not to reach out at this time is equivalent to making them lose their vitality. How can they do it?
Therefore, although the subordinates gathered by the elders nodded and agreed to the matter, they all looked embarrassed and expressed their bitterness! Although the cabinet elders know that they are right, they have no other way. They must make sacrifices for the overall interests of the civil service class!
Therefore, they unanimously issued the order and clearly told them that during this period, the Supervisory Office will strictly investigate all officials, and those who make mistakes will be severely punished! This can be regarded as forcing this matter to be arranged!
So the next day, countless letters and official documents were sent from the capital to all directions, conveying the will of the cabinet! As for how much can be implemented, even the cabinet elders may not have a definite answer in their minds. They can only hope that officials can understand the general outline.琇书蛧
In the midst of this chaos, time has reached the fifth day! Sure enough, a large number of people gathered in front of Fusi Gate in Beizhen on this day! These people were all wearing casual clothes, but their imposing manner made everyone see that they were officials!
Just as they were whispering, the gate of Beizhen Fusi suddenly opened, and a group of Jinyi guards poured out from inside, and then lined up on both sides of the gate! Seeing this scene, these officials all took a step back! A large number of officials have been arrested in recent days, which scares them.
broken!
After the Jin Yiwei all stood up, one person in the crowd mustered up the courage to step out and walk towards Bai Hu who was leading the team. The hundred households didn't stop him when they saw him coming, they just looked at him coldly, making this man feel cold all over!
However, he still mustered up the courage to walk in front of Baihu. He first raised his right hand, then hesitated for a moment before cupping it and said, "I wonder if it's time for the trial now. Can I go in?"
After looking this person up and down he said, "You don't seem to be an ordinary person? I seem to have seen you before. You should be an official from the Ministry of Etiquette! Are you from the fifth rank or from the fifth rank?"
After his identity was revealed by Baihu, this man stood up straight, shook his sleeves and said, "How did you figure it out? I don't remember ever seeing you face to face!"
The hundred households laughed twice and said, "I didn't remember it at first, but just now you raised your hand to point me at me, but you changed your hand and raised your hand, looking very uncomfortable! This means that you must be a civil servant, otherwise It won’t be that difficult to surrender to our military attache! One more thing, although you have changed your clothes, why don’t you also change your official boots? And as the saying goes, noble people forget things! I sent a document to the Ministry of Rites, and at that time, your Excellency I still remember that face clearly!"
The man's face flushed with embarrassment when he heard this, but he didn't want to fall out with Baihu, so he had to say: "I have a rest today, so of course I have to wear casual clothes when I come to see the case! I won't say much to you, just I’d like to ask if I can go in now?”
Baihu sneered and said, "The time has not yet come. When it does, I will call you in!"
After saying that, he waved his hand casually and chased the man back like a fly! The man had no choice but to retreat back to the original crowd. As soon as he stood still, a man came forward and raised his hands and said, "Master Liu, what do you think of that hundred households?"
The official, known as Mr. Liu, said angrily: "He said the time has not come yet and we can't let people in now!" xь.
At this point, he frowned and said, "I really don't know why Shangguan specially sent me to wait here to hear the case. What's so good about this? Is it to see how those warriors humiliated Sven? Master Zhang, what do you think is going on here? What does that mean?"
