Renshen (twelfth month) in the twelfth month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
Quan was informed of the official affairs of the counties and towns in the borders of Kaifeng Prefecture. Fan Xun stopped and informed the Linjiang Army.
Zhao Zhongtang, the general who guarded the gate of the right prison of Jiaen, was appointed Duke of Cai.
Chengde, the military governor of Zhenhai, the third division of Kaifu Yitong, Yang Wang Zhaohao, the guardian of the Taibao, Yongxing of Jin, and the military governor of Fengxiang.
Wuchang, the military governor of Wu'an, the third division of Kaifu Yitong, the king of Jing and Zhao Yan, the guardian of the Taibao, Wuning of Jin, the military governor of Zhenhai.
This was naturally Zhao Xu's initiative.
It can be regarded as reciprocating love!
Although the two imperial uncles did not rely on salaries to live, the improvement of their political status was still very important to them.
At the very least, their children and grandchildren will have a higher starting point.
So the two imperial uncles went to the palace in person to express their gratitude.
He also went to the Funing Palace to express his thanks, and Zhao Xu naturally expressed his condolences.
It was Yang Wang Zhao Hao who looked much haggard and his whole spirit was sluggish.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so he ordered to give King Yang royal medicine and gold and silver utensils.
He even personally told: "Uncle Emperor, please take care of yourself!"
"If there is anything missing in the palace, just tell me!"
As for King Jing and Zhao Yan?
Zhao Xu seemed less intimate.
He was simply given some things, such as some ancient medical books that no one in the family read, and a mediocre copy of a rubbing.
The origin of this rubbing is even more simple. It was just that Ouyang Xun was ordered by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to rub a tattered thing called "Preface to the Lanting Collection" against the rotten stone carved on the stone tablet. What's more,
What’s more, it’s a copy!
It’s just a rubbing of a rubbing!
But Zhao Yan was ecstatic.
Touching the piece of paper cut from the stone carving, I couldn't put it down!
After seeing off the two imperial uncles, Zhao Xu called Shi Deyi to his side and said, "Dingwu has been hiding in the palace for decades!"
"But today, when I was looking at Dingwu Ben, I always felt that something was wrong!"
"I'm afraid it's not the real thing!"
Shi De shivered when he heard this.
Not authentic?
This is the grave crime of deceiving the emperor!
Once the position is confirmed, every one of the people who handled the place of Dingwu Army that presented the Dingwu Ben will probably have their homes ransacked!
"I heard that this copy was purchased by Xue Xiang, the former Third Division Envoy, with official money from the private sector when he knew about the Dingwu Army..."
"Xue Xiangjin has died, but his son is still here..."
"Send someone to ask!"
If Zhao Xu had not studied abroad in modern times, he would have been kept in the dark by this father and son until his death.
The treasure that Lao Zhao's family spent a lot of money to buy turned out to be a fake carved by his father and son!
"Let him not misunderstand me! If there are any love shortcomings, just admit it proactively. I am willing to ignore the past grudges!"
"Wei!" Shi De bowed his head, accepted the order and left.
Zhao Xu was pacing with his hands behind his back.
This is a typical case of "book theft" by literati.
Substituting one thing for another, Li Daitao is dead, Xue Xiang and his son played a good trick!
However, it is precisely because of this that extremely precious historical relics have been left behind.
The fake is actually more authentic than the real thing!
In modern times, counterfeit products are called "lossless versions", while genuine products are called "five-loss versions".
Because, in order to prevent the treasure in their hands, Xue Xiang and his son could not tell the authenticity in the end, so they artificially damaged the five characters of turbulence, flow, belt, left and right on the authentic product.
The fakes they produced were almost perfectly preserved because of the father and son's superb calligraphy and rubbing skills.
This public case was later discovered by Cai Jing during Zhao Ji's time.
It is a pity that due to the Jingkang Incident, the whereabouts of these two stone carvings are unknown.
Therefore, in modern times, only copies of rubbings have been handed down, and Zhao Xu's teacher often lamented this.
For Zhao Xu, it is natural that it is genuine or fake, I want them all!
…
Bianjing City, Kaifeng Fuyamen.
Cai Jing sent Fan Xun out of the government office with a complicated expression, and then said goodbye.
Fan Xun walked out of the government office with a painful expression.
He never imagined that he would fall on the eve of his great success!
"Nothing is kept secret, and today we are here!" He sighed.
The meddlesome people outside the government office were even pointing their fingers, so that Fan Xun didn't want to stay any longer. He just got on his horse and went home, planning to pack up his things immediately and go to Linjiang Army to take up his post.
I don't dare to stay in Bianjing City any longer.
If you stay any longer, you might be labeled as "lingering and lingering" as you will not let go of your resentment.
Cai Jing watched Fan Xun's figure go away.
He told himself in his heart: "There must be no mistakes!"
If he makes a mistake in his errand, this will be Fan Xun's fate!
So, he returned to the government office and immediately summoned Li Shiliang, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, Hu Ji, the recommendation officer, as well as the inspectors on the left and right of Kaifeng Prefecture and all the Cao Cao soldiers.
I warned these people one by one to be careful these days. If someone gets caught, no one can protect themselves.
Moreover, if anyone dares to tarnish the reputation of Kaifeng Mansion during these times.
Then Cai Jing will never let him go!
After beating up these senior officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, Cai Jing turned his attention to the middle and low-level civil and military officials in charge of key departments.
Cai Jing first named Yang Wenyuan, the director of the Kaifeng Prefecture’s Directorate of Records and Examiners: “The Director of Directors and Directors should not be neglected when inspecting and inspecting the reviewers!”
Cai Jing cupped his hands and faced the direction of Funing Hall and said: "The official's sage virtues and his virtuous voice forgive the people of Bianjing. He has a benevolent heart and opens up money from the treasury to provide relief to the poor people of Bianjing!"
"And in Bianjing City, the people who are most vulnerable to freezing are the orphans and the elderly!"
"The Director of Records and the Inspector of the School Treasury is responsible for caring for the orphans in Bianjing!"
"Starting from today, the Director of the Department of Records will inspect the school library and report the situation of the orphans under Bianjing's jurisdiction. This government will also ask for orphans from time to time!"
"If there is one person who is suffering from cold, hunger and cold due to improper inspection of the school library by the Director of Records..."
"There is one person involved in the inspection library, kill one of them!"
Cai Jing looked at Yang Wenyuan ferociously: "Do you know?"
Yang Wenyuan took off the fu head, held his hands to Cai Jing and said: "Don't worry, the Ming Dynasty. If there is an orphan who is frozen, hungry, and does not work for the Ming Dynasty because of improper records, the official will kill the lazy official first, and then kill himself to thank the official family."
!”
Cai Jing nodded, he naturally knew the dirty tricks of the Director of Records and Inspection of the School Treasury.
In the past, he could turn a blind eye.
But now, if anyone dares to block his way, he will definitely let his whole family die!
"The left and right patrols of the prisons! The left and right army patrols! The prison officers of the Si Lu Division!" Cai Jing turned to look at the military attachés of the three prisons of Kaifeng Prefecture.
"This winter, Kaifeng Mansion will inspect the prison again...Official officials will come to Kaifeng Mansion next spring to inspect the government. This government will ensure that there are no serious injustices in the prison!"
The military attachés were about to surrender their orders when they heard Cai Jing's stern warning: "Also, whenever a prisoner dies in prison, I'll ask Naer and others!"
In the Song Dynasty, it was very easy to kill someone in prison.
Yu death is a universal excuse!
After all, if a person has been locked up for a long time without being able to see the sun, and in a humid and dark environment, it is normal for him to get sick and die.
Kaifeng Prefecture used to kill more than a hundred people every year!
If you encounter officials who don't care about people's livelihood, it's not an exaggeration to say that hundreds of people will die.
But it's different now!
The emperor is in charge, spring is coming!
What if some unruly people support the elderly and the young come to complain, but the government accepts the petition? What if something is found out?
It is a small matter to reverse the case, but it is a big matter to make the officials lose face!
The king humiliates the minister and dies!
Naturally, the military attaches knew that the matter was serious, and they all raised their hands and said: "Please rest assured, Mingfu, we have adjusted the situation in the prison in a timely manner and allowed the prisoner's family members to send meals, clothes, medicine and visits every three days..."
"Not enough!" Cai Jing waved his hand and said: "If there is no rain or snow every day, prisoners in Kaifeng Prefecture will have half an hour to leave prison for activities..."
Cai Jingtai understood why the prisoner was sick.
"If it's sunny, it will take an hour..."
"This..." Everyone hesitated.
"This government will order soldiers to go to various prisons to assist you!" Cai Jing said directly: "If a prisoner unfortunately dies of illness, you must keep a record... You can't give people any clues! Do you understand?"
Everyone looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "General, I will obey your order!"
"Where are the various officials?" Cai Jing returned to the office and was shocked.
Immediately, several civil servants came out: "I'm waiting for you!"
"Have you and other supervisors checked the Bianjing household registration, money and food, and account books?"
"If not, I can send someone to help you and others take care of your worries!"
These people suddenly broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly said in unison: "If you don't bother Mingfu, I will do my best!"
"Before tomorrow, the writings of the orphans, widows, and poor and weak households in the rooms in Bianjing City will definitely be submitted!"
Even if they don't sleep tonight and burn the midnight oil to work hard, they will still find the poor, weak, orphans and widows who are hidden in the account books and documents.
Because they knew that under the background that the Emperor was about to visit Kaifeng Mansion.
Low-level civil servants like them, who hold humble positions and low positions, are the easiest to be replaced and the easiest to be transferred.
If they want to stay, they can only rely on Cai Jing's protection.
Otherwise, they don't even need to be in charge of the capital. They will have to get out of here as soon as the official department orders them to do so!
"Good!" Cai Jing applauded and said, "Go down and do some work!"
"I will watch carefully!"
This winter, Cai Jing plans to take a shower even if she takes a day off.
Before spring begins, Bianjing City must be cleaned up.
In short, Bianjing must be clean, just and bright when the emperor arrives.
It's OK to make small mistakes occasionally, but absolutely no big mistakes.
Especially things like the entrustment of orphans, there must be zero tolerance!
Because, in a sense, the emperor is also an orphan!
Cai Jing suspected that if he came here, he would check these things immediately.
reason?
Have you seen those newsboys in Bianjing Xinbao?
They were all fatherless and motherless children found from inside and outside Bianjing by the emperor's inspectors.
Secondly, Cai Jing put himself in his shoes and felt that if he were at the emperor's age, he would naturally sympathize with the orphans.
Especially, those orphans who were orphaned by Kaifeng Mansion!
If this matter is not taken care of, it will offend Long Yan, even incriminate the two palaces, and alarm the government and the opposition!
Because, this is politics!
Orphan caretakers cannot treat orphans well, they are too sensitive!
…
As a result, those orphans in Bianjing City who lost their fathers and whose mothers remarried suddenly discovered that the officials who were stingy in the past and refused to give them money and asked them to beg for help suddenly became reasonable.
Those people were even willing to send people to help them sell charcoal, buy rice, and also give them clothes and quilts.
They even hired women to come to collect clothes every other day and deliver meals to them in turn.
Although these children don’t know what’s going on?
But they know that this winter, they can stay away from hunger and cold.
Even the treatment of prisoners in the Third Hospital Prison in Kaifeng Prefecture has been visibly improved.
Note: The Examination Library under the Kaifeng Prefecture's Silu Department was the official custody and custody institution for orphans' property in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was also an institution that provided relief and care for orphans.
But what can I say about this organization? It has certainly played a certain role in allowing many orphans to grow up smoothly and inherit the legacy of their fathers and brothers.
However, they eat extremely hard and eat very ferociously!
All in all it's hard to evaluate.
Note 2: Yu death was the universal cause of death for criminals in ancient prisons.
What should I do if a prisoner dies in prison?
Just avenge Yu's death!
