Chapter 208 King Qi: It Doesn't Matter, I Will Shot!
Chapter 212 King Qi: Don’t leave, bury it
"Mr. Su, please take back these gifts quickly. I am not so lucky and cannot bear the love of Prince Han."
"Master Li, it's just some Shandong style chicken bacon. It's not valuable, so just accept it."
Su Qing was so numb that he couldn't even send out gifts. This was the most troublesome thing.
Li Xuan quickly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Su, I will never accept these things. Please say thank you to Prince Han for me. I will accept them, but you should return these things."
Su Qing glanced at the two large wooden boxes on the ground, feeling a little helpless.
After the court meeting this morning, the Han Palace could not even send out gifts.
Zuodu Yushi Li Xuan, this bastard, was smiling and accepting the money sent by the Han Dynasty Palace two days ago, but today he immediately turned against him. He is really a bastard, facing King Qi while accepting money from the Han Dynasty.
If there is any slight disturbance, he will turn his back and refuse to recognize anyone.
"Master Li, these things are not valuable, just accept them." Su Qing wanted to persuade them again.
Li Xuan said seriously: "Mr. Su, to tell you the truth, Prince Han was kind to me. I will definitely remember this old relationship, but everyone is their own master. Now I am working with Prince Qi. If this happens again
The Han Palace has sent gifts, it would be unpleasant if word spread."
Su Qing thought about Li Xuan, that bastard. When King Qi was away from the capital two days ago, you did not miss our gifts. Who are you trying to fool now with such a righteous look?
Lu Chaoyang kicked over the box on the ground with a "slip of his foot", and pieces of snow-white silver were scattered on the ground. It was like moonlight pouring out, and the silver everywhere could make people blind.
Zhu Gaojie made a gesture to Lu Chaoyang, and Lao Lu understood it instantly.
Li Xuan waved his hands and said: "Master Lu, you are too polite. You say it, you say it."
Zhu Gaojie came over and looked at Su Qing, "Mr. Su is a very busy man. Shandong and the capital are far away from each other. It's hard work running back and forth between the two sides."
It was King Qi who came over, followed by Lu Chaoyang of Jin Yiwei!
"Your Majesty." Li Xuan was sweating profusely, trying to defend himself, "Don't get me wrong..."
Li Xuan wiped the sweat that fell to his chin and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide it from you. I received money from the Han Palace, but I have always been working for the Qi Palace. My heart is loyal to you, Prince Qi.
of!"
Bian Yuanbo was eventually executed by Lingchi, and Lu Chaoyang relied on this merit to become the governor of the Jinyiwei North and South Town Fusi.
"When I talk about Shandong's local specialties, I think of something." Lu Chaoyang said with a smile, "I was ordered to go to Shandong to investigate a case before. At that time, the Shandong chief envoy was Mr. Bian Yuanbo, and he gave me a box
Braised chicken, I opened it and saw, wow, it was a box of blinding gold bars!"
It was not until the Hongwu Dynasty that the age for becoming an official was changed to sixty, that is: "All civil and military officials over sixty years old were eligible for official service."
Zhu Gaojie's eyes were deep, "What do you mean by accepting money from the Han Palace? Li Xuan, you should know the relationship between me and the Han Palace, right?"
Zhu Gaojie touched his chin and said jokingly, "Send some of this kind of 'Wind Chicken Bacon' to Prince Qi's Mansion in the future. I'm quite rare."
He couldn't even make it up himself.
Su Qing left, leaving Li Xuan alone in embarrassment and wanting to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes on the ground and crawl in.
Everyone present knew about this and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Li Xuan quickly replied: "I am fifty-five years old this year."
Zhu Gaojie couldn't help but laugh: "He's a fucking double agent."
Using money from the Han Palace to do things for the Qi Palace, Li Xuan is really talented!
In terms of regulations, the Thirteen Supervisory Censors were not restricted when exercising their powers, and the documents were sent directly to the emperor's case. This was a rule established during the Hongwu Dynasty. The nature of the supervisory agency was determined from the beginning.
It is stipulated that they are the eyes and ears of the emperor. Regarding this, the edicts and laws of all dynasties have made it very clear.
Zhu Gaojie nodded slightly and pointed to the large pieces of silver scattered on the ground, "Then, can you explain this?"
What can't be controlled is the result of official governance. Even if he goes to investigate strictly, he will just kill a group of people and replace them with a new group of people, which will damage his own strength. If he doesn't rectify the official governance, he will just change the soup without changing the medicine.
I can't kill them all no matter how hard I kill them.
The most embarrassing thing is to pay someone a bribe and have it discovered by others.
Li Xuan said tremblingly: "Master Lu, this matter is really not my fault. The thirteen censors have the power to directly report to Your Majesty. I, the censor of Zuodu, can't stop them from impeaching Master Yang!"
Li Xuan was originally a member of the Han Dynasty Party. After the collapse of the Han Dynasty in the capital, the remaining members of the Han Dynasty Party defected to the princelings and Qi Wang Party. It was at that time that Li Xuan joined the Qi Wang Party. After joining the Prince Qi Party, Li Xuan completed a triple jump in his life. He first jumped to the position of the censor of the right capital, and then jumped to the position of the censor of the left capital. Naturally, behind this was the power of the Prince Qi Palace secretly pushing him.
.
He has always turned a blind eye to the shady income of officials in Prince Qi's Mansion.
"When you charge money, it depends on whose money it is."
The thirty-sixth stratagem was the best one, and Su Qing handed it over without hesitation: "I have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave now!"
Su Qing coughed twice: "Prince Qi is joking."
Lu Chaoyang coughed lightly and said, "Master Li, I have a question. I wonder if you can help Lu?"
The censor of Zuodu is a second-rank official. The next higher-ranking civil servants are "Three Gongs and Three Solitaries" and "Three Masters of the East Palace". In terms of real power, civil servants can reach the position of Zuodu Censor.
Already capped.
"Master Li, Mr. Su has said so, just accept it."
"If you follow the regulations, you are definitely right to say so." Zhu Gaojie said calmly, "But it is limited to the regulations."
Su Qing: "..."
"Well, let me tell you. During this period, the prince and I are not in the capital. People from other provinces are ready to make moves. Many people in the Shandong Province Censor are impeaching our Mr. Yang of Prince Qi's Mansion. Is there anyone behind these Shandong Province Censors' instructions?
I know it very well. And these impeachment tricks can go all the way to His Majesty's Long Case, can't you, the censor of Zuodu, see it?"
The regulations are like this, but when implemented into reality, the secrets of the thirteen censors when they impeached the capital officials will all go around the capital censor. After all, the capital is not a foreign province. Without the acquiescence of the left capital censor, your secrets will not be effective at all.
It cannot be sent to the emperor.
Lu Chaoyang's eyes were cold, "Let's just say, Mr. Yang and you and I are colleagues in Prince Qi's Mansion. I don't dare to say that officials protect each other, but when the other party is in trouble, you have to lend a hand to help. To be honest, you all have to check whether there is anything fishy in the court.
, everyone knows in their hearts that it is not difficult for Jinyiwei to investigate these dirty tricks. If I hadn't kept suppressing them, you, the censor of Zuodu, would have been restless, right? There are countless tricks to impeach Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, you
What do you mean by standing by and watching? Why don't I, Jin Yiwei, write a few books and impeach you all to the procuratorate?"
Zhu Gaojie randomly picked a chair and sat down, and asked calmly: "Li Xuan, this king treats you well, right?"
Zhu Gaojie asked with a smile on his face: "How old is Mr. Li this year?"
Seeing Lu Chaoyang reaching out to open the box, Su Qing quickly stopped him and said, "Master Lu, wait a minute!"
Li Xuan said quickly: "It's just some worthless wind chicken bacon, nothing, nothing."
Get away!
…
Li Xuan's face turned earthy when he heard this.
Li Xuan lowered his head and said, "Prince Qi's kindness to me will be unforgettable."
Without the support of Prince Qi's Palace, Li Xuan would have struggled for eight lifetimes to reach the position of Zuodu Yushi, a position comparable to that of the Six Ministers, based on Li Xuan's qualifications and abilities.
Suddenly a voice came from Li's house. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice, and their faces suddenly became pale and colorless.
"Hmm... Your Prince Han's Mansion is really interesting. I've never seen the style chicken bacon made with silver."
In the early years of Hongwu, the supervisory authority was called the Yushitai, and later was renamed the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The highest-ranking officials were the Left and Right Capital Censors, who specialized in impeaching hundreds of officials. The Metropolitan Procuratorate had thirteen supervisory censorships, with a capacity of 110 people.
He was responsible for correcting internal and external officials. He was responsible for supervising the rank and order of the imperial censor. Although his official rank was low, he had great authority. He went out on inspection tours, claiming to be patrolling on behalf of the emperor. He made reports on major matters and made decisions on minor matters. He was unmatched in all previous dynasties.
"Well, as long as you remember."
What was even more embarrassing was that he, a staff member of the Han Palace, bribed an official of the Prince Qi Palace, but was caught by Prince Qi himself.
The excerpts written by the thirteen censors who impeached Yang Rong would have been impossible to send without Li Xuan's tacit approval.
However, this is not mandatory, it is just a convention.
Su Qing nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's some wind chicken bacon, a local specialty of Shandong."
He already said that he was fifty-five years old this year, but King Qi deliberately said that he was sixty years old. He was clearly ordering Li Xuan to resign.
Su Qing is a staff member of the Han Dynasty Prince's Palace, and went to Li Xuan's house to give gifts. How can he make up something that is obvious?
"It's okay, I know Mr. Su too and have long admired his name."
Officials can also retire and return to their hometowns when they reach a certain age, but instead of using the word retirement, use a more elegant word: "to become an official", which means returning the official position to the monarch. According to the "Book of Rites of Zhou" records, an official becomes an official at seventy.
In other words, officials can retire at the age of seventy.
"Speaking of which, I quite like eating bacon. Mr. Li, Mr. Su, if you don't mind, let me have a look?"
Zhu Gaojie asked: "My second brother, what gift did Mr. Tuosu give Mr. Li? Let me see it too?"
"Ah, Mr. Li is sixty this year. He is still in office in his sixtieth year. Thank you for your hard work." Zhu Gaojie said with sudden realization, "Forget it, Lao Lu and I won't bother you and take our leave."
Li Xuan let out a long sigh, bowed to Zhu Gaojie and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me. It's time for me to resign from Your Majesty and return home."
King Qi now gives him a step to go back to his hometown.
If you still don't want to leave, fine, then don't think about leaving Jinling City again, it's better to bury you here.
