The Hajj begins.
Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, reported: "When local officials from all over the world come to the court to carry out the rituals of the great pilgrimage, they should check whether there are deficiencies in their government affairs, whether there are those who owe money and food, those who have improper punishments, and those who are unable to promote schools and encourage farmers to teach. Sang, whoever deceives and deceives his superiors and neglects his duties should be brought to justice before the law to punish him for his absence from office."
Zhang Bing, Ding Jingfu and others took a breath of air after hearing this.
In previous years, during the Hajj, you would start with a compliment, give a thumbs up, and end with a review, explaining the good and bad qualities. Why is it that this year, you directly punished the pilgrims? You directly skipped the procedures for praising people and giving thumbs up?
Jian Yi is a pragmatist. It is really unnecessary to praise Shenma. It will offend people anyway, so he shouted loudly: "The official department said, the chief envoys of the world, Si Anchasi and the prefectural and county pilgrim officials Of the 2,958 people, based on their political performance, 435 are qualified, 1,665 are ordinary, 450 are incompetent, 165 are corrupt, and 165 are corrupt. (Old, dull and stupid) Two hundred and forty-three."
After hearing this, officials from all over the country couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. The Hajj had just begun, and murderous intent rushed towards them.
After Zhu Yunwen heard this, he also frowned a little. There were nearly three thousand officials, and only about 400 were competent. Most of them were ordinary officials, but there were also many incompetent, corrupt, and corrupt officials. These three together accounted for all local officials. Nearly 30%.
This is a terrifying statistic!
Most of these three people are magistrates and county magistrates. If we separately study how many incompetent, corrupt, and corrupt officials there are in magistrates, it is estimated to exceed 80%. From this perspective, it can be seen that the probability of a Qingtian Master appearing in the local area is very low...
Jian Yi's sonorous voice rang out again: "According to the regulations of the imperial court, those who are rated as competent during the Hajj will be promoted, those who are ordinary will be reinstated, and those who are incompetent will be demoted. Those who are corrupt will be punished by the law, and those who are corrupt will be exempted from civilian duties! Now from Beiping Bu The Chief Secretary and other yamen will conduct an inspection as a starting point, and those who call his name will go out and allow him to defend himself."
Zhu Yunwen watched quietly. The Hajj will not end in one day. This group of people will suffer, and so will he, so just take your time.
Jian Yi shouted: "Beiping Chief Envoy - experienced Cui Xiu, was in charge of Confucianism, Li Wen Zhuang Yu, Ku ambassador Tan Zhiye..."
The chief minister Zhang Bing, who was just about to take a step forward, almost went berserk. If you want to check it out, give me some face first. Why don't you let me, Zhang Bing, show his face and express his political achievements? Is there any reason to go directly to his subordinates?
Do you, Jianyi, understand the procedures of the Hajj? Isn’t this just messing around?
Other officials also looked at each other in confusion. Why, the process has been changed this year so that the big bosses are not allowed to brag about their political achievements and praise the Emperor. The spit is flying everywhere?
But no one dared to ask questions on this occasion. Zhu Yunwen sat there without saying a word, so he must have approved it.
If Zhu Yunwen knew what the officials were thinking, he would be aggrieved. This was the first time for the Hajj to be held in Jianwen Dynasty. He had no experience. Jian Yi said beforehand that he would make slight changes to speed up the process. He agreed without thinking. Who knew he would It will change so drastically...
Cui Xiu, Du Shi Guan Ru, Li Wen, Zhuang Yu and other eight officials came out. Zhu Yunwen looked at these people, his eyes almost popped out. Who are these trembling old grandfathers who take three breaths every step of the way? , wouldn’t it be nice to go home and lie on the bed when you have nothing to do? If you really don’t have a home, you can go to the almshouse.
This crutch, this body, when the wind blows, why don't you fly away?
"I'm waiting, ahem, I'm here."
"Cui Xiu, the Chief Envoy of Peking, is in charge of Confucianism, Zhuang Yu is a Li Wen, and Tan Zhiye, Ambassador of the Treasury...the eight officials are suffering from old illnesses and should serve as officials."
"I still have the strength to work hard for the Ming Dynasty, but I don't want to retreat..."
"Stand back. It's all Li Ji's business."
Jian Yi didn't give him face, and directly wrote the comment "to become an official" on the document, and then started the next round: "It's all Li Ji, you mishandled the prison sentence, did not follow the "Ming Dynasty Law" in finalizing the case, framed the people, and accepted bribes , it should be dealt with by the judicial department, do you have anything to say?"
After hearing this, Li Ji, the governor, trembled all over and wanted to defend himself, but he glanced in the direction of Zhu Yunwen and couldn't say a word. He had to kneel on the ground and shouted: "I am guilty."
Jian Yi ignored this person. The knife-wielding guard from the Security Bureau had already come over and pulled him away.
During the Hajj, if you have any questions or doubts, you can ask. The Ministry of Personnel does not completely trust the notices sent by the Chief Envoy, but will screen, verify, and even question them on the spot.
"Tongzhou Tongzhi Chen Gang and three other people are dissatisfied with the people. Do you agree?"
"Everyone should serve the people."
"Wuqing County Magistrate Chen Quan, County Magistrate and other five people abused torture and caused the death of people. Do you agree?"
"They should all be brought to justice."
"..."
The Hajj is like a sentencing assembly. The issues are read out publicly and the results of the treatment are expressed. If there are any doubts, they are expressed on the spot. If there are any grievances, they are said immediately. Once out of this door, there is really no chance.
Emperor Jianwen was listening above, and a list of each processing result would be given to him for reading. The processing process was clear and impersonal. As long as the emperor nodded and approved at the last moment, it would be implemented.
Zhang Bing, the chief envoy of Peking, looked very ugly. In just a short time, dozens of officials were dealt with in his jurisdiction. Some officials usually seemed very good and capable, but now they are going to jail. …
Shame on you!
Zhang Bing felt uncomfortable, and so did his colleagues in other provinces. At any rate, Zhang Bing had been stabbed a few times, and the matter was basically over, but he still had many problems. The list of problems reported in the post was different from the list held by the officials, which was not good.
After the Chief Envoy of Peiping had finished dealing with it, he started to deal with the Chief Envoy of Shandong and other yamen. Logically speaking, Shandong had been cleaned up by the White Lotus Sect and handled by Song Zhengchen, so there were not many problems, but there were still many problems.
Money is needed to rebuild Qingzhou, and money is needed to dredge the river. Yes, it is difficult for officials to get the money, so let's find other ways to get it...
There are magistrates who use clever names to collect taxes privately, which shows how courageous local officials in Shandong are.
That's all. There are actually officials looking for other ways to make money, falsely accusing people of colluding with the White Lotus Sect, and dragging people's heads to ask for credit. The people either pay money or are dragged away. It's that simple.
To say that the people are suffering, there is really nothing we can do.
The Shandong Chief Minister Li Yanzhen and the Inspector General Chen Ying almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. The Chief Minister and the Inspector General were unaware of these problems. They were not aware that such problems had arisen under their own rule. That's malfeasance!
If etiquette were not so important at the moment, Li Yanzhen would have wanted to step forward and kick those officials to death, especially the officials who used the White Lotus Sect as a money-making gimmick. Isn't this looking for death?
The Ministry of Personnel knew so much, and colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate played a lot of roles. The Metropolitan Procuratorate led by Dai Deyi used to expand the scale of censors to increase the intensity of supervision. This strategy was not useless.
Facts have proved that with many people and many eyes, it is indeed possible to discover many underlying problems, and not all decentralized censors will fall or be bribed.
If you are really unsure about the official posts, assessment records from previous years, and documents from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you can also ask the Security Bureau for additional information. It is still easy to investigate some things clearly, not to mention that this work has been carried out several months in advance.
Equivalent to the problems in Beizhili, the problems in Shandong appear to be "hard to recover" and "terminal". This makes Zhu Yunwen very dissatisfied. Although he has known some things for a long time, he is now watching officials being dragged away and kowtow. Kowtowing, crying and howling, I still feel angry.
The problem of officials is directly related to people's livelihood, but these officials seem to only want to get promoted and make a fortune. Instead of working hard to climb up, they just think about reaching down to ask for benefits, and they don't care about the lives and lives of the people.
How did these people become officials of the Ming Dynasty?
When it was Henan's turn, Henan's governor-general's yamen seemed to have a longer face, because Jian Yi only selected five officials in Henan, three of whom were old, two were corrupt, and the others were gone...
Henan's officialdom is so clean that it is enough to make other colleagues envious.
Of course, there are also reasons for being clean, such as the complete collapse of the officialdom of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the governance of Qitai and Jingqing. Although these two are in charge of Kaifeng Prefecture, not the whole of Henan, the Chief Envoy of Henan is also in Kaifeng City, and the two The Yamen is not far away.
Qitai and Jingqing are so powerful, how many changes can they make when they come to the county magistrate? Can there be no movement in Henan's Chief Envoy and Inspector's Office? Besides, Qitai and Jingqing were officials in the capital. One of them had been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the other was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They had extensive connections. Just one memorial or one sentence could put the Chief Envoy and other Yamen in a difficult position.
Due to the pressure and the strong activities of the Security Bureau in Henan, Henan Chief Executive Shi Weizhong and Inspector General Zhang Ming cleaned up the entire Henan officialdom. All useless, corrupt, cruel officials, etc. were eliminated as early as eight months ago. Lost. Nowadays, Henan dare not say that we don’t pick up things on the road, but we can sleep with the door open.
Regardless of whether the Henan officialdom is speculating on the Hajj, at least the new officials have not been found to have many problems in the past six months or so. Even the immigrants who entered Henan have been placed extremely properly. These tasks are all It is obvious to all.
When it was Shanxi's turn, Ding Jingfu and others were a little uneasy.
In fact, there are many problems in Shanxi's officialdom, such as ineffective immigration, forced immigration in violation of court policies, intimidation of the people, and the initial trust of many people in order not to immigrate, which led to many corruption problems.
These questions were all expected by Ding Jingfu, except for one thing. Right Senator Li Bin was named.
Jian Yi looked at Li Bin who came out, and countless people turned their attention to him. Compared with the small fish and shrimp, Li Bin was a heavyweight. He was the Shanxi Councilor and the chief envoy's right-hand man. This was going to happen. If the problem is solved, then the problem of Shanxi officialdom will be too big.
Li Bin walked out without fear.
You are pure, why should you be afraid of the west wind?
Jian Yi asked seriously: "You are responsible for the reform of the Shanxi post station and the post office strategy. A businessman once bribed you to facilitate currency, use official channels to clear customs, and save costs. Is this possible?"
Li Bin made a salute with his hands and replied loudly: "It is true that a businessman once asked me for convenience and offered a thousand taels of silver, but I refused."
"Is there any evidence?"
"The merchant can bear witness."
"How can we trust the words of a businessman?"
"I wonder if what Jian Shangshu said seems to be true, and who did it come from? If you want to change my innocence without real evidence, then I, Li Bin, will not agree!"
Li Bin looked at Jian Yi, serious and unyielding.
Jian Yi stared at Li Bin. After the two of them looked at each other for a few breaths, Jian Yifang withdrew his gaze and waved his hand: "Go back, now we are inspecting the Huguang Chief Envoy and other Yamen officials..."
Zhu Yunwen smiled. Regarding Li Bin's corruption, it was just a suspicion. Folk rumors were probably spread by dissatisfied businessmen.
The Security Bureau has investigated and found no problem. This is a good result. At least, the postmaster of Ming Dynasty has been found...
