After three days of reporting to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and receiving all the necessary formalities for taking office, including official certificates and waist badges, Yuzhu slept until four quarters past midnight when he was woken up by the frost through the window.
After washing up and having breakfast, Yuzhu, under the joint service of Lin Yaner and Hanshuang, put on his official uniform, put on a warm hat with a crystal stone top, put on Hanshuang's unusually smooth ironed official uniform, and put on his official boots.
, boarded the sedan chair and went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Today is different from the past. Yuzhu's official sedan stopped at the entrance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Because the sky had just dawned and the lanterns had not been extinguished, the gatekeeper could clearly see the words on the lanterns from a long distance away. It was the new manchu champion, and the jade pillar of Jiangnan Road's palm seal supervisory censor had arrived.
The guard at the door didn't dare to neglect him. After checking the badge handed over by Wu Jiang, he immediately let him go.
With Tang Bing making suggestions from the side, Yuzhu knew the rules of the Yamen. He walked slowly to a small desk on the left side of the door, picked up a pen and signed the "drawing book", and signed his name
.
This is a must-have attendance check measure for Beijing officials.
If you are absent from work too much and do not ask for leave, you may be fined a salary or dismissed.
According to the rules, officials at the level of chief executive can bring three servants or followers into the yamen to serve them personally.
Today is the first time I have come to report, so Yuzhu brought Wu Jiang, Wu Sheng and Hu Biao into the office.
Hu Biao, the chief steward, had followed Longkodo around the capital for many years and was familiar with the reality of each yamen.
Yuzhu, a newbie in the officialdom, will definitely need him.
Xifuna, the censor of Zuodu, can be regarded as half of Yuzhu's master because he has served as the supervisor of the examination.
When Yuzhu rushed to the Yamen, Xifuna had just returned to the Yamen from the palace.
When he learned that Yuzhu had come to report, Xifuna did not put on airs and deliberately kept him waiting, but quickly received him.
"The humble Yuzhu pays homage to Mr. Zongxian." After entering the door, Yuzhu bowed politely.
Xifuna smiled slightly and said: "A fifth-grade master at the age of sixteen is unheard of."
This was not quite right. However, Yuzhu just pretended not to hear it and waited silently for Xifuna's next words.
Different from the cabinet and the six ministries, the nature of the Metropolitan Inspectorate determines that even the top-ranking Zuodu Censor has no absolute authority to control the supervisory censors under his command, let alone the palm-print supervisory censor, one of the fifteen.
History.
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu has every right to single-handedly impeach an illegal official or clan member. Even if Shifuna firmly opposes it, it will be of no avail.
The censor of Zuodu commanded his subordinate censors. In most cases, they had to discuss matters and act with emotion and reason, rather than issuing orders.
Novices in the officialdom will inevitably be looked down upon by the veterans. Yuzhu has seen a lot in the past and has personally experienced the whole process of how the seniors bully the newcomers.
In the big yamen, as long as they don't openly quarrel with their superiors, the new ones actually have the means to counterattack with dirty tricks.
Who is Yuzhu? He is a Manchu nobleman who is in the heart of the emperor. How can his future be controlled by Xifuna?
Therefore, Yuzhu made up his mind and was determined not to have a head-on conflict with Shifuna. If he didn't like to hear anything, it would go in one ear and out the other.
Perhaps because Yuzhu's attitude was quite submissive, Xifuna just made a few jabs and got to the point.
"A while ago, when the royal family was listening to the government, the master said that the censor's office for inspecting the clan, like the censor's office for Gyeonggi Province, should be formed into a separate office in order to better handle errands for the court. Moreover, the master also gave
You have the right to report things secretly." When Xifuna said this, Yuzhu understood it instantly.
Kangxi hinted at Yuzhu, just keep an eye on the clan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs for me, and try to stay out of other affairs as little as possible.
"According to the master's instructions, it is up to you to choose the specific location of the yamen where the errands will be carried out. You can also freely choose who you need." Xifuna was also an old bureaucrat. How could he not see how much Kangxi valued Yuzhu?
.
However, Xifuna didn't know that Kangxi deliberately did not give Yuzhu a chance to evade, forcing him to kill Lao Ba and the prince's gang members.
To put it bluntly, what Kangxi meant was that he only put the jade pillar in the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the specific bullets were reported to the emperor through secret reporting.
Yuzhu is no longer a newcomer to the officialdom. Who can he ask for the office location, office expenses, staffing and personnel funds of a small government office?
"I wonder how much money Mr. Zongxian will allocate to humble positions?" Yuzhu had the attitude of asking if he didn't understand, so he made sure to break the casserole and ask the question.
"Well, my master has no oral instructions." When Shifuna said this, Yuzhu understood. Shifuna was deliberately making things difficult for him.
"Lord Zongxian, don't you have to go home to do errands for your humble job?" Yuzhu was not afraid of Shifuna and went back secretly.
To put it bluntly, who is a mere Shifuna?
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is not a six-department department. It belongs to the scope of the railway police, each of which is in charge of a section. Everyone usually takes care of their own people, and there is no overlap in each other's business scope that requires cooperation.
Seeing Yuzhu push back gloomily, Xifuna smiled instead, raised his hand to screen and retreated to the left and right, closed the door, and showed Kangxi's secret edict.
"Yuzhu listened to the order and inspected the royal censor's office, which was located in Sanjia Lane. Twenty thousand taels of silver were appropriated. Among them, there were two of the seventh-grade pen-stickers, and a total of ten of the eighth-rank and ninth-rank pen-stickers...I admire this.
”
After Yuzhu received the secret order, he understood everything. Kangxi helped him lay the groundwork. Even the office location was chosen in Sanjia Lane, which is closest to his home.
From Toujia Alley to Sanjia Alley, it only takes more than 200 steps to walk there. It is simply too close.
Kangxi had all allocated people, money and things, and Yuzhu no longer had any reason to evade.
After completing the registration procedures at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yuzhu boarded the sedan and went to Sanjia Lane.
When I arrived at the place, I saw, hey, good guys, the yamen gate is full of people, everyone is waiting for Yuzhu to take office.
"Humble position, seventh-grade pen post style Manaha, see Lord Zongxian."
"In a humble position, from Qinpinbi to Qin Gui, see Lord Zongxian."
The seventh-grade pen-posting style was almost done, and the two of them bowed to the ground.
"Lords of humble rank pay their respects to Lord Zongxian." The eighth- and ninth-grade pen-posters, because their status was so far apart, all saluted with a thousand bows.
The unofficial court officials, scribes, door officials, Zhiyin, Huofang, pavilion officials and prison officials, these subordinate officials are collectively called Jingcheng and must kneel down to salute the jade pillar.
The censors in the Ducha Yuan, together with the officials of the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu among the six subjects, are collectively called Hanzhan Kedao, and they all belong to Qingliu.
Yuzhu's primary and secondary duties are to be the Censor of Jiangnan Road and the Censor of the Clan. This is a typical Fengxianyan official.
Most of the honorific officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have the character "Xian" in their honorifics. For example, Zuo Du Censor is Zong Xian, and Zuo Deputy Du Censor is Zuo Xian.
The Yamen that took office today is called the Inspection Clan Yamen, so the subordinates respectfully call Yuzhu Lord Zongxian.
"Everyone, get up." Yuzhu took a quick glance and saw that there were at least nearly a hundred people at the yamen gate.
Everyone gathered around the jade pillars and entered the main hall of the Yamen.
Yuzhu looked as he walked, well, the preparations were quite complete in such a short period of time.
On both sides of the main hall, official title plates with jade pillars are erected in sequence, ranging from the Shuntian Prefecture Yiyou Academy of Science Examination Head, the Jiangnan Road Palm Seal Supervision Censor, the Inspection Clan Censor, all the way to the first-ranked Jinshi and rank.
.
Among them, the most conspicuous official title plaque is placed at the front of all the official title plaques. Can you see how glorious it is?
After Yuzhu sat on the desk in the middle, his subordinates saluted collectively again and formally met their immediate superior.
From now on, this inspection clan censor’s office is the territory that Yuzhu has the final say on.
After Yuzhu simply said a few scene clichés, only Manaha and Qin Gui stayed, and the rest of the people dispersed.
After chatting briefly for half an hour, Yuzhu roughly understood the basic situation of the two main subordinates.
Manaha is a soldier of the Three Banners and has been serving as a servant in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Qin Gui is a member of the Han Army and was transferred from the Ministry of Justice.
In fact, in this yamen, Yuzhu and his subordinates have nothing to talk about.
The prince was killed on the left and the old man was killed on the right. Yuzhu's subordinates could not help at all. They could only do some copywriting work.
The reason why officials kill people is not because they have many subordinates, but because they have grasped the emperor's pulse. The classic impeachment memorial in this article works.
Officials from various government offices in the imperial court went to the yamen, which were divided into early yamen and late yamen. In the early yamen, they went to the yamen before chenzheng and went down to the yamen after noon. In the late yamen, they went up to the yamen before noon and went down to the yamen after shenzheng.
In other words, you have plenty of time to go home for dinner at noon, and Yuzhu can get off work after three o'clock in the afternoon.
Working from seven in the morning to three in the evening, with an hour's break at noon, and only working three hours a day, it's very comfortable.
When it was time to go to the morning office, Qin Gui found the two scribes responsible for the drawings.
"Master Zongxian has given instructions. You two will be responsible for the purchase of the dining room starting from the evening office. The drawings will be handed over to Liu Wu, the steward next to Master Zongxian." As soon as Qin Gui said these words, the two of them were responsible for the painting.
The scribes who arrived at the book could not help but be overjoyed.
The purchase of the dining room is the best job in the yamen, and it is very profitable.
Qin Gui looked at the two complacent scribes, but his heart shuddered, Yu Zongxian is so powerful.
Among the three things a new official does when he takes office, Yuzhu’s first thing is to burn Hua Guoban’s head.
The reason is actually very simple. Yuzhu wanted to be late and leave early at the same time. If the drawings are not taken over by his own people, he will leave living evidence.
There must be Kangxi's informants in this imperial censor's office. However, Yuzhu is not afraid of making small mistakes.
As long as he kills the prince or Lao Ba with a memorial during the honeymoon period, not only will it be fine, but he will also be promoted to a higher rank and receive generous rewards for standing in line.
After getting off the yamen, Yuzhu boarded the sedan and left the yamen.
There is no way, according to the requirements of the system, civil servants must ride in sedan chairs when arriving or leaving the yamen.
It’s just that the Yamen is too close to my home, and I feel like I’m getting off the sedan as soon as I get up.
As soon as Yuzhu's feet landed on the ground, he saw Daxue lying outside the Chuihua Gate, staring eagerly at everyone who passed by.
"Daxue is so good." Yuzhu squatted down and gently touched Daxue's wolf head.
Daxue wagged the wolf's tail obediently, narrowed his wolf eyes, and enjoyed Yuzhu's caressing.
Niu Tai once said that Daxue likes to be touched along the hair. The more you touch it, the more comfortable it becomes.
After returning to the room, taking off his official uniform and changing into casual clothes, Yuzhu had just picked up the tea cup when Wu Sheng, who was in charge of the concierge, came to report.
Someone outside claimed to be the chief steward of Zhejiang's imperial envoy and handed over a name card, asking to see Mr. Yu.
(PS: Mr. Yu has his own territory, let’s see how to toss Lao Ba and Prince? There are currently 3835 monthly votes. Within today, it has exceeded 3985 monthly votes. There must be more updates!)
