Ma Mingluan immediately stood up and said: "Before your Majesty came to Yangzhou, I was like a traveler stuck in a quagmire when I was the governor of Yangzhou. Although I struggled hard, it was of no avail."
"The situation has improved slightly since His Majesty removed the Yangzhou Mine Supervisor."
"But there has been no fundamental change. The government officials are still superfluous, and the subordinate staff are still naughty and cunning. Even the matter of returning taxes and money would have been difficult if it hadn't been for the Holy Emperor's order."
Chongzhen asked: "You mean it's very unsatisfactory?"
"Yes." Ma Mingluan said without hesitation, "I am extremely unsatisfied in Yangzhou."
Chongzhen chuckled twice and fell into silence again, just tapping his fingers on the coffee table.
Is Chongzhen hesitating whether to call Ma Mingluan into an important position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
At this time, Ma Mingluan undoubtedly still maintained his original intention of being an official. To be honest, there were not many officials who could still maintain their original intention after reaching the position of prefect. From this point of view, Ma Mingluan was still worthy of reuse.
But after all, Ma Mingluan has seen all kinds of bad habits in officialdom and knows the tricks very well.
So in the future, when Ma Mingluan takes over the power, will the story of the dragon slayer eventually becoming an evil dragon repeat itself?
Ma Mingluan looked confused. He vaguely felt that Chongzhen would not ask him this for no reason, but he really couldn't figure out what the purpose of Chongzhen's move was.
After about half a cup of tea, Chongzhen suddenly asked: "The Censor of the Capital, I have come to appoint you as the right Imperial Academy. Doesn't he have the confidence to rectify the officialdom?"
"Ah?" Du Yushi was stunned, "You Guozijian?!"
That was too sudden. Besides, is there no one in the Right Imperial College yet?
The first thing the seven cabinet assistants did before taking up their duties was not to recall Liu Zongzhou to serve as the Right Imperial Academy. The personal integrity of that little man was questionable, but his ability was something that no one dared to compliment.
"Don't think too little." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "I'm just asking him. I am sure that I will appoint you as the Imperial Academy of the Right. I am not confident that I will rectify the officialdom. I really want to appoint you as the Imperial Academy of the Right."
The Imperial Censor thought for a moment before saying, "Returning to Your Majesty, I can only say that I will try my best."
Chongzhen nodded and said, "Is it true that he doesn't have any confidence in this matter?"
"Yes, I am indeed confident about this." Du Yushi raised his head without feeling sad, but slowly raised his head again, "But I dare to say whether anyone can accomplish that thing."
"Okay." Chongzhen then asked, "If I ask him again, there will definitely be no chance. Is he willing to try?"
Hong Junying instantly felt a cold blood flowing down his face, and immediately said with emotion: "There is definitely no chance like that. Even though I'm so heartbroken, I still regret it."
"Okay, then I will give him that opportunity." Chongzhen nodded and said, "I will use his heart and brains to destroy him. I just hope that he can remember the performance today and use it to warn himself all the time."
The censor of the capital immediately straightened his black gauze and official robes and bowed to the ground: "My lord, please remember this!"
That time, Chongzhen did not stop the imperial censor from worshiping, but looked down at me and said: "The imperial censor, one day in the future when he holds a small amount of power, or when he holds billions of tax dollars, I hope he will still
To be able to retain the sincere original intention that I have today, I have to be blinded by power and desire."
"My lord, please remember your Majesty's teachings."
Du Yushi stood up before bowing again and looked at Chongzhen with burning eyes.
After talking for so long, do you still know what position His Majesty will assign me?
If the Imperial College is possible, then the deputy Imperial College of the Eighth Grade is also very possible.
There is a small chance that he will be the Qian Guozijian, the seventh rank, but changing from a local official to a capital official is also a promotion.
As for the imperial edict that was not approved by the imperial court, the imperial censor simply didn't care. If you want to scold Xingchen, you can scold him.
However, Chongzhen said: "Early tomorrow morning, he will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to resign the post of Yangzhou Magistrate, and then go to the Nangong House of Internal Affairs to perform his duties. As for the new envoy, he will be temporarily designated as the deputy director of the House of Internal Affairs."
Jiang Yueguang: We changed the Secretariat Supervisory Office to the Internal Affairs Office, not to make the Internal Affairs Office equal to the eight ministries and departments.
Since we are so concerned about the level of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we might as well set the official titles of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as chief and deputy chief as we wish. It would also be good to paralyze the civilian officials first.
That can be regarded as Chongzhen's first-class bad taste. Civil servants thought that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was just a slender big sapling?
One day, when the civil servants realized that the big sapling had no thorns, they discovered that it had grown into a towering tree. This huge tree had not covered the entire Xiao Ming!
Come on, I want to temporarily submit my grievances to the Censor of Shangdu.
"Ah? Deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Hong Junying was stunned as soon as he came up.
What the hell is the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Isn’t it too much to not have a deputy director?
You are still a seventh-grade magistrate after all. Even if you are transferred to the capital and you have to be demoted one level, it is only reasonable that you have to be given a position from seventh-grade. At most, you have to be a seventh-grade prefect, right? Now give you an eighth-grade chief?
That's right, the one he gave seems to be a deputy director, and he is definitely only an eighth-grade servant.
Not yet. I only know that each of the eight departments has no chief. I have never heard that there is no deputy chief?
Du Yushi felt that his whole body was better, and he was no longer depressed after being tricked by His Majesty.
You listened to His Majesty's words and flirted with you, and you were ambitious and prepared to do something small, but the result was like this?
Chongzhen smiled but said something. Ma Mingluan was the first to hold back his smile and said: "Deputy Chief Ma, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a new yamen that was just established today."
"That yamen is under the control of the cabinet, and it is under the jurisdiction of eight ministries, and only takes orders from the emperor."
"Its duties cover those not included in the original seventeen supervisors, seven departments and four bureaus of the inner court, but they are limited to the seventy-seven yamen of the inner court, because the seventy-seven yamen of the inner court can directly connect with local prefectures and counties, but
Officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can directly intervene in specific local affairs as imperial envoys."
It cannot come from being understood as the dual leadership of Tiaotiao and Kuangkui.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is divided into strips, while the eight provinces, prefectures and counties are divided into blocks.
"Ah?" Du Yushi's eyes widened. Did he come from the imperial court in the bedstead house?
It doesn’t mean that there are no two groups of local officials in each province, prefecture, and county. In addition to officials from the eight ministries, there are also imperial envoys sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Is this still a mess?

"Du Yushi, he thought too little at first." Chongzhen said, "The prince is talking about the long-term plan for the future. At present, he only needs to do a good job. This is not to use the tax money that the Nanjing Guard Eunuch Office has embezzled over the years.
Recover everything from me, including the money spent by the participants and local stickmen, all of it will be recovered from me and then returned."
It's just that erecting timber at the south gate of Yangzhou is not enough. Nanjing also needs erecting timber.
The imperial censor said without any embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this matter may be difficult to accomplish."
Chongzhen misunderstood and said: "I forgot that he was a retired scholar, right?"
The censor of the capital didn't have any explanation and said: "Hui Sheng, I was born in the seventh grade of the Wuyin family in the tenth year of Chongzhen."
"That's incomprehensible," Chongzhen said. "He condescended to be a close minister of the emperor because of his background as a retired scholar. It was too aggrieved, and it was difficult for him to be ridiculed by his contemporaries and colleagues."
"What do you mean by your Majesty's words?" Du Yushi said in a confused tone, "I only know how to relieve the country's troubles and share the Lord's worries. As for the idea that close ministers are lucky to be ministers, it is beyond the opinions of rotten Confucian scholars. Why don't I come from you at all?
"
"Is he afraid of being insulted by his peers and colleagues?" Chongzhen was stunned.
"Why should I be afraid of what others say?" Du Yushi said, "I only know how to do things."
"Then it seems that I have misunderstood him. Ai Qing is really a national scholar!" Chongzhen gave a thumbs up to the censor of the capital and said, "Why did he agree with me just now?"
"Because I have indeed done something about this matter." Du Yushi said, "When I came to Nanjing this time, I only brought a few people with me. How can I accomplish such a small thing when I only have a subordinate official?"
"That's it?" Chongzhen said, "He doesn't have to worry about this."
"Students of Hong Junying and those scholars who are called to come to Nanjing, be careful when choosing them."
After a pause, he added: "We definitely need to mobilize the army to go to Xuanwu Gate to find Hu Guozhu. My Yiding will fully cooperate with him in handling the case."
"That's a problem. I accept the order." Du Yushi turned around and left.
After a while, a clear bell rang in the doctor's hall, but it was the bell that summoned Zhu Cihong's students.
Ma Mingluan put his hand on his forehead and said: "That Hong Junying is really a slow-tempered person. He even waited a night to get off, and he was slow to select my subordinates and entourage as soon as he took office."
Zhu Cijiong said: "I just know that not many people will follow me."
"That's what you're worried about." Hong Junying waved his hand and said, "As long as we say that we are going to investigate and deal with the Nanjing garrison eunuchs, these scholars will probably fight over each other, and then the imperial censor will want too many people."
Facts soon proved that Ma Mingluan's judgment was correct.
After a while, there was a noise from the direction of the student dormitory.
After a while, Zhu Cihong offered wine to Qian Qianyi, so he came over in a panic and reported to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the imperial censor of the prefecture of Yangzhou has gone crazy, and Zhu Cihong's students have also gone crazy with me. The one who came in the middle of the night said he was going to raid Nanjing.
The garrison eunuch, Han Zanzhou, the garrison eunuch of Nanjing, hasn’t been beaten to death yet, so what else are you searching for?”
"Then he just needs to take care of it." Chongzhen said calmly, "Just open the door and let us out."
"Uh?" Qian Qianyi expected Chongzhen's reaction, so he had no choice but to run back and open the door for the students.
The imperial censor took Zhu Cihong's students and scholars to Nangong to check the sealed account books, and then followed the account books to search for Han Zanzhou's attendant sticks one by one. As a result, Nanjing city was noisy all night, and on the seventh day
At dawn, hundreds of Han Zanzhou's followers and thousands of local sticks were all arrested.
The dungeon of Nangong (the former Nanjing garrison eunuch office) was blocked, so they could only be held in the open air in the front garden of Nangong.
The unlucky Ruan Xiaocheng was also kidnapped by Zhu Cihong's students for revenge. He was pulled out from under the concubine's bed last night and imprisoned in the front garden of Nangong along with Han Zanzhou's attendant Tugun.
Seeing Hong Jun Yingsheng showing off his power, Ruan Xiaocheng wanted to cry.
It was really a mistake that would lead to eternal regret, and it would be a hundred years since I looked back.
