Orthodox seven years.
King Pingxi killed the king and brought disaster to the country, established a false emperor, and controlled the government.
Zhao Mu, the legitimate son of the late emperor, led people with lofty ideals to break through the palace gate, rectify the original source, and change the source to Tianshun.
All the blame lies with King Pingxi!
Emperor Tianshun ordered historians to compile biographies of traitors, recording all the traitors since the founding of Daqing, and listed King Pingxi as the first, which was passed down throughout the world.
Others, such as the Queen Mother and Emperor Longqing, are not allowed to remember a word.
A son who kills his father or a son who kills his mother are both extremely unfilial. At the least, it affects the majesty of the royal family, and at worst, it shakes the foundation of Daqing's rule.
Even Emperor Longqing was not recognized by the Daqing royal family and was recorded by historians as a false emperor.
In later generations, there were many experts who studied the death of Emperor Zhengtong and the accession of Emperor Longqing to the throne. They wrote hundreds of papers based on unofficial history. Some of them were almost true, but the authors did not believe them and only used them as a tool to evaluate professional titles.
After Emperor Tianshun ascended the throne, he announced the restoration of the orthodox imperial system.
Tang Mingyuan checked and filled in the gaps based on the insights of later generations, and the New Deal was more perfect.
If a wealthy family might have complaints, the Supervision Department would bury the dragon robe in their backyard, arrest them overnight, put them on trial quickly, and arrange an expedited list for beheading.
Tang Mingyuan was originally wary of the Supervision Department, but with the implementation of the New Deal, he openly spoke out.
"Those who win the governor win the world, which is the support of the people!"
…
Tianshun two years.
Autumn.
Inspection Division.
dungeon.
It's dark and dark, with no sunlight all year round.
Zhou Yi sat on the cloud-patterned tiger leather chair, took the imperial tea from Qian'er's hand, blew the hot air, and sipped it slowly.
"Hu's tea is still delicious."
The godfather who served tea flattered him and said, "It is an honor for our family that our godfather is willing to drink the Hu family's tea."
Qian'er, who pinched his shoulders, said flatteringly: "If godfather hadn't said anything, those killers in the prison would have wiped out the Hu family."
Gan'er, who was beating his legs, continued: "The Hu family is a sensible person. A few days ago, we specially sent a few golden tea trees to congratulate our godfather on his reinstatement."
At that time, the Hu family caught the attention of Duke Zhou by relying on the method of frying tea, and became the largest tea supplier in the Imperial Department.
After receiving the royal title, the Hu family's business prospered and they became one of the largest tea merchants in the country. The head of the family was known as Hu Bancheng.
With the defeat in the palace battle of Zhouyi, the Hu family lost its backers and was branded as an "eunuch". The whole family was arrested and interrogated in the sky prison.
Now that Zhou Yi has returned to the Supervision Department, the Hu family has returned to its previous prosperity.
The position of Governor of Dongchang carries more than just his son, there are thousands of people behind him who follow him to survive.
Zhou Yi said: "My family is telling you that you must be an official even if you risk your life. You must not become a businessman. You are just a fat pig."
"Nurt it when you like it. If you need it someday, just give it a name and kill it!"
Gan'er next to him asked: "What about being an honest farmer?"
"Jiejiejie..."
Zhou Yi laughed a few times and tapped Xiao Pingzi's forehead: "You idiot!"
The servants burst into laughter and looked at Xiao Pingzi with envy and jealousy.
The godfather and children were having a great time here, while the prisoners were wailing endlessly over there. The person in charge of the interrogation was Li Chao, a notorious man from the Supervision Department.
In just four years, he was promoted from a low-level subordinate to a sixth-level chief, making him a legendary figure.
After about half an hour, the prisoner was dying.
"Mr. Governor, I don't know where the leader of Sanyang is hiding."
Li Chao reported: "But in order to seek death, he told another thing. It seems that a Xiantian master targeted the Sanyang Sect and killed many mages and Sanren."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly and had some guesses about hunting down the master of Sanyang Sect.
It has been more than two years since the death of the Zhengtong Emperor. Eunuch Wei, who was guarding the left and right, still did not show up and seemed to have disappeared.
Zhou Yi pointed to the cell next to him, which was filled with densely packed prisoners, all of them scarred and half-dead, and ordered.
"One by one trial, the Sanyang Sect must be uprooted. Our family doesn't believe it. How can Skynet still catch a few mice?"
"I humbly accept my order."
Li Chao bowed and said: "In the past few years, I have been studying punishments in a humble way. I visited Zhenfusi and Tianlao Old Man all over, and compiled the tortures into a book, named it Eighteen Hells."
"Not one in ten criminals in prison can survive the third level, not one in ten thousand can survive the sixth level, and so far no one has been able to survive the ninth level!"
"Not bad."
Zhou Yi nodded approvingly and said: "We heard that you have three sons who are doing well in studies. As long as we find out where the Sanyang Sect's lair is, your son will be admitted to the Sixth Division."
"Thank you, Lord Governor."
Li Chao quickly kowtowed, which was both encouragement and warning.
Everyone who knew Li Chao, whether colleagues, friends or relatives, said that he had tracheitis, and the dignified head of the Supervision Department did not dare to take a concubine.
The two sons born to his first wife were all of Li Chaoming's sons.
In fact, it was not the case. Li Chao knew that what he did was harmful to the peace of the world, and he was afraid that one day he would kill the nine tribes, so he was afraid of his wife on the surface, but secretly raised an outhouse to pass on the incense.
Who would have thought that the secret agents of the Supervision Department would be able to find out the secrets of Li Chao long ago.
At this time.
An old eunuch hurried in, knelt down and reported.
"Governor, your majesty has taken in another cadre, Xiao Luzi from the Shangshan Supervisor. I heard that he is good at making Pei Yuan soup, so that your majesty can handle ten girls at night without feeling tired!"
Zhou Yi asked: "Where did this Mr. Deer go to work?"
The old eunuch licked his lips, not hiding his envy and jealousy: "Tobe walking!"
The Ministry of Household Affairs was the court's purse strings, in charge of all financial matters such as money, food, salt, iron, taxes, and salaries. It could be said that the people were so rich that even the imperial guards were not prepared for the unexpected.
Eunuchs love money most, so going to the Ministry of Household Affairs can be said to be like a mouse falling into a rice barn.
I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
"Little deer..."
Zhou Yi pondered for a long time and then said: "Assign a few capable servants to help Eunuch Lu, select a few household borers from the secret book, and send them to Eunuch Deer for meritorious service."
Dongchang monitors the temples and rivers and lakes, and the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs are the top priority.
If a major or important case is discovered, it will be immediately reported to His Majesty for a thorough investigation. Other minor cases such as corruption of ink will be recorded in a secret book for future use.
Or use coercion and inducement to win over the offending officials as one of their own.
Or it could be used to praise a newly promoted chamberlain. For example, when Eunuch Lu arrests people with evidence and lists, he has repeatedly made great achievements. How can His Majesty not regard him as his arm?
When Duke Zhou was reading the secret book, he gave instructions to the servants on the left and right.
"This is our Dongchang's sword, gun, sword and halberd!"
The old eunuch wondered: "Duke, this Eunuch Lu is not close to us. He has been working under the Admiral Yuan. Why did you help him rise to the position?"
The walking official position was created by Emperor Tianshun and is not a formal official position in the imperial court. It means that when eunuchs are sent to perform duty somewhere, they can report directly to His Majesty.
The power of this kind of official position fluctuates greatly.
If you are not respected by your majesty, it is equivalent to doing odd jobs in the household department. On the contrary, your power is comparable to that of the minister of the household department, and you can supervise and review all matters.
Similar to the cabinet elder, when the power is small, he is like a secretary, but when the power is great, he can be compared to the prime minister.
"Our family has its own reasons for doing things."
Zhou Yi ordered: "Send another good man to follow secretly and write down every word and deed of Eunuch Deer. Don't miss a word!"
The old eunuch bowed and accepted the order: "Don't worry, Lord Superintendent, we will also record what Eunuch Lu says in his sleep."
Zhou Yi drank all the tea in the cup, stood up, and looked dimly.
"Your Majesty has accepted eight cadres, namely the Sixth Department, the Internal Affairs Department, and the Zhenfu Department. He will recruit a ninth in the future. Isn't it time to come to the Supervision Department?"
The servants and waiters on the left and right were holding their breaths, but no one dared to speak.
