Chapter two hundred and eighty first patrol plan
A fast horse galloped out of Lingqiu City, and appeared at Guangling Station in darkness. The next day, he arrived at the Yanghewei's patrol office.
Although national mourning has an impact on people's lives, it is ultimately not as great as that of officials.
During this period, few officials dared to do whatever they wanted. Even though the authority of the Ming Emperor is no longer as bad as that of the Hongwu and Yongle periods, the officials below were still careful in their national mourning, for fear that someone would not do anything well and would lose their black hat.
"I'll send you a message to me when you go in. Below are the personal soldiers of Lingqiu Governor's Palace. My family sent me to deliver official documents to the inspector." Huang An's personal soldiers took out the official documents from his arms and handed them over with both hands.
The soldier outside the government office took the document and said, "You are waiting here."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the government office.
The inspector is different from the governor.
All local inspectors are appointed by the censor of the Censorate. The rank is not high and generally only has seventh rank. They are extremely powerful. They are once a year and will conduct inspections on behalf of the emperor. They will conduct inspections on the officials of various provinces, prefectures, counties and counties. They can directly submit major matters to the emperor to make decisions, and small matters can be handled by themselves.
The soldier walked out of the back yamen with the official documents. When he met the staff next to the inspector, he hurriedly stopped and bowed and said, "I have seen Mr. Tian."
Aide Tian nodded, saw the official document in Bing Ding's hand, and said, "What are you holding?"
"This is the official document sent by the Lingqiu Guard to the Inspector." Bing Ding replied respectfully.
"Give it to me, I'll give it to the inspector." Aide Tian reached out to receive the official documents from the soldier.
The soldier hurriedly handed the official document on both hands.
Holding the official document in his hand, Aide Tian said, "The person who came was Huang An, the governor of Lingqiu?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The person who came was a personal soldier from the Lingqiu Governor's Palace. He was waiting outside the government office!"
Aide Tian thought for a while and said, "You go and bring someone in and let him go outside the hall to wait. Maybe the lord will meet him."
"Yes." The soldier bowed and left.
Aide Tian, holding the official documents, turned around and walked into the back yamen.
The patrolman Liu Bingyuan was dressed in plain clothes, pressing the cuff with his left hand, holding a wolf-haired pen in his right hand, bent over, and practicing calligraphy on the table.
As a censor who was born in the two Jinshi list, Liu Bingyuan liked literature and works, and liked to make friends with literati and poets. Even the two aides around him were people who liked literature and works.
When Liu Bingyuan saw Aide Tian who came in, he smiled and said, "Mr. Tian is here just right. Look at the words I just finished writing! Is there any beauty?"
"The word "adult" has always been respected by us. It is okay to appreciate it. If you want to ask questions, it will make the students ashamed." Aide Tian covered his face and sighed softly.
"Haha." Liu Bingyuan laughed twice and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself. As long as you practice hard, you will still achieve some success."
"Sir, you are too proud." Aide Tian bowed.
Liu Bingyuan put down his brush, cleaned his hands in the copper basin, and wiped the water stains on his hands with the silk cloth beside him. Then he said, "Mr. Chen and I just mentioned Mr. Tian, but unexpectedly, Mr. Tian came to the Houya in a blink of an eye, which was barely true."
After saying that, he picked up the cover bowl at hand and took a sip of tea.
Aide Chen on the side smiled and said, "He knows that you are squirting ink again, and you will come after smelling the fragrance of ink."
"Haha." Liu Bingyuan smiled with a smile on his beard.
Aide Tian smiled and said, "If the student knows that you are so interested, the student will come early. Please correct the student's words."
"It's not too late now. It's better for Mr. Tian to write a few words and give them to the adults to watch and give them some advice." said Aide Chen.
"That's good." Aide Tian said with a smile, "It's a blessing for students to be corrected by the master."
"Okay, okay, you two are so generous to me, and you're a little over." Liu Bingyuan waved his hand modestly, but the joy on his face could not be hidden.
"Sir, I'm too modest." Chen said with a bow. "Even Master Fang praised his thin gold body."
Hearing this, a hint of lust flashed across Liu Bingyuan's face.
As a censor of the Censorate, the words he wrote were praised by the Chief Auxiliary. This was a great achievement and was also what he always was proud of.
"Sir." Aide Tian took out the official document from his cuff and said, "When the student came, he met someone below to send a document, saying that it was sent by Huang An, the garrison of Lingqiu, who sent his personal soldiers."
"Huang An?" Liu Bingyuan thought for a moment and said, "He is the garrison of Lingqiu. Even if he has official business, he should report to the General Office or the Governor's Office. There is no need to send it to the official."
Aide Chen said: "Maybe it is something important."
"Well, take it with me." Liu Bingyuan reached over.
Aide Tian hurriedly handed over the official documents in his hand.
Liu Bingyuan opened the official document and looked at the contents, and his brows gradually frowned.
After a while, Liu Bingyuan, who had read the official documents, directly slapped the official documents on the table and said dissatisfiedly: "It is enough to hand over such a matter to Governor Liu or General Zhang. What is the intention of Huang An sending the official documents to my official? Will I let my official stand up for him to participate in the governor? Nonsense!"
Aide Tian, who was standing beside him carefully picked up the official documents, read them, and handed them over to Aide Chen, who was standing beside him.
He said, "The official document said that the Lingqiu bandit leader Liu Heng was in trouble in the area and the governor accepted his bribe. This matter really needs to be found out, but it was a major case that shocked the court."
"It is a big case that I cannot manage," said Liu Bingyuan.
After reading the official documents, Chen's aide was puzzled and said, "If this matter is done and the governor of a province is demolished, it will be of great benefit to your prestige. Maybe after returning to Beijing, you can be promoted to the six ministries and become a minister."
"Sir, Mr. Chen's words make some sense." Aide Tian echoed.
The sixth Ministry of Justice has been in the fifth rank, and will be released from the local government in the future, at least in the fourth rank, so their aides can also rise with the flow. Maybe they will have the opportunity to become the aides of the previous local governor in the future.
Liu Bingyuan said: "You are not in the officialdom and you are not very clear about some things."
Looking at the two aides looking at him, he continued: "Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne and the ruling is unstable. Local officials like the governor will not change easily in a short period of time. Therefore, even if the official submits a memorial, he will only be adjudged by the emperor, and instead let the official offend a governor for nothing."
It seemed a little thirsty, Liu Bingyuan picked up the cover bowl and took a sip of tea.
After letting go, he said: "Now that Liaodong is in ruins. Since the defeat in the Battle of Sarhu, the court has been defeated several times in Liaodong. Most of the Liaozhong are occupied by the Jurchens. The court needs the border town governor who knows the troops. As for accepting bribes, it is nothing. Now, the officials in the court have fewer Bingjing and Tanjing sent by local officials."
"Sir, we don't care about this matter," said Aide Tian.
Liu Bingyuan stroked his beard and said, "It's not that he doesn't care, but that he doesn't care for the time being. The official of the tiger flag has also heard of it. It is a famous big business in Lingqiu. When the court is stable in the future, he will not worry about not having a chance to clean up."
"It's still the adults' foresight, and the students admire it." Aide Tian bowed and bowed.
