Chapter 376 The new official meets a temptress after taking office
The New Year is approaching and things are busy.
Originally, he would not officially take up the post of Yongzhou Zhizhong until next year, but after the operation to clean up the ghost market in the south of the city, Wu Huaiyu was directly promoted to Yongzhou Biejia, and the emperor asked him to take office immediately.
After the morning meeting, Huaiyu went to work at the Yongzhou Yamen in Guangdefang.
Guangdefang is just east of the West Market, opposite Huaiyuanfang where Huaiyu's earliest house was located.
The Yongzhou government office was actually a bit shabby. Li Shimin once served as the pastor of Yongzhou, but he was only a remote leader. The actual people who served were generally Biejia and Zhizhong. Yang Gongren, Gao Shilian, etc. served successively, but most of them were part-time.
The iron-clad yamen is full of officials, but few officials are interested in repairing the yamen.
Yongzhou Yamen does not even have official residences for officials. There are only a few duty rooms where officials are on duty. All officials, big and small, stay at home.
This was not the first time that Wu Huaiyu came to Yongzhou Prefecture, but this time he came as an official. Yongzhou Mu was now led by the nine-year-old Han Wang Yuan Changyuan, so he was the actual chief of Yongzhou Prefecture.
All the officials from the Yamen came to greet him, including the county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, chief registrars, county captains, recorders, Liucao and other military officers from Chang'an and Wannian counties.
The scene was quite grand.
No one dares to look down upon this Yongzhou Biejia, who also holds the titles of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Commander of the Crown Prince's Right Guard, Crown Prince's Horse Washer, Master of the Chongxian Pavilion, and even has the title of Champion General.
Of course, as the officials at the emperor's feet, they all basically knew that Wu Huaiyu was still the doctor of the Six Sects and the true confidant of the emperor.
Even if he is only twenty years old, no one dares to look down upon Duke Yi Guo, who has sealed six hundred households. He has killed Luo Yi, wiped out Liang Shidu, and even killed Wang Junkuo. Those who died under his command are not nameless people.
The three yamen's joint raid just now removed Doulu Kuan, the Minister of Rites, from their posts. General Zuowei, the governor of Huazhou, and the prince-in-law Chai Shao were all punished by decree, and were recalled to the court and appointed as General Youxiaowei.
The general and his younger brother were also removed from the post of governor and became a citizen.
Another consort, Lu Huairang, was also dismissed from the post of governor.
Yongzhou Prefecture originally had jurisdiction over more than 20 counties. Last year, it began to be divided and merged. It was also under Wu Huaiyu's suggestion that nine counties were retained on both sides of the Weihe River and 18 counties were administered by the general.
Yongzhou Prefecture is different from ordinary state yamen. The chief officer is not called the governor but Yongzhou Mu. The second officer is not called the chief officer or Sima, but is called Biejia and Zhizhong.
The staff of its subordinate officials are similar to those of other state governments, but the grades are higher, including those who have joined the army, Liucao has joined the army, those who have joined the army, doctors, and those who have recorded affairs, etc.
Yongzhou Yamen occupies a large area.
There are several gates, main halls, inner halls, several courtyards for various officials, stables, transfer houses, and even a theater, canteen, and dormitories for the personnel on duty to rest.
In addition, there are pavilions, ponds and gardens.
It even has its own Yongzhou Prison.
During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Gao Shilian, the governor of Yongzhou, was Li Shimin's wife's uncle, so he armed the prisoners in Yongzhou Prison, raided Fanglin Gate, and assisted Xuanwu Gate.
The prisoners also made contributions to support them. Many prisoners awaiting death row were not only pardoned, but some even received rewards for their meritorious service in killing the enemy.
Welcomed into the main hall of the Yamen by the stars.
Officials at all levels came to pay their respects one by one.
During the reign of Emperor Li Hongjie, when Li Hongjie was still on his way south from Bingzhou, Wu Huaiyu, wearing a purple robe and a goldfish charm, stood out among the officials.
Yongzhou is an important place in the capital, but it is still just a state. It was not until Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty that it was upgraded to Jingzhao Prefecture, which was higher than the prefecture.
At this time, Yongzhou was still only Shangzhou, that is, the state shepherd, Biejia, and Zhizhong had a higher level than ordinary Shangzhou officials. Other officials were the same as ordinary Shangzhou officials, except that they might be given priority in the promotion sequence.
The six Cao Cao who joined the army and recorded affairs were only seventh-grade green-robed minor officials.
On the contrary, the county magistrates of Chang'an and Wannian counties are all Feipao officials of the fifth rank. The county magistrates of the other sixteen counties are of the sixth rank, and the county magistrates of the two capitals are also of the seventh rank.
The Chang'an County magistrate in the scarlet robe can be regarded as an acquaintance. Yang Zuan is a son of the Yang family of Hongnong. He is from Yang Su's branch. His grandfather is a brother of Yang Su's grandfather. Therefore, during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, his father was the governor of Wenzhou. He
After being implicated as the secretary of Shuofang County, he was dismissed from his post. Later, the two men welcomed Li Yuan, and their official career was not bad, from serving as censor Shi Qian to now the fifth-rank magistrate of Chang'an County.
Previously, when Huaiyu was going to be the governor of Yanzhou, Yang Zuan gave him a lot of advice.
Yang Zuan has been the magistrate of Chang'an County for several years. He is quite famous, but he is known as a cruel official. People say that he does not like elegance and prefers to use cruel officials. He has offended many people and was even ridiculed by many of his colleagues. But Yang Zuan behaves like this
So, I go my own way.
During this joint attack by the three yamen on the ghost cave in the south of the city, Wu Huaiyu specifically asked him to lead Yongzhou's troops, and Yang Zuan did not live up to Huaiyu's expectations.
The attack at that time involved many powerful people, but Yang Zhuan did not buy anyone's face and was selfless.
Magistrate Wannian is also an acquaintance.
Fang Xuanling's wife's mother-in-law was Lu Chengqing, Duke of Fanyang County. When Huaiyu was in Longyou, he joined the army for Qinzhou and had dealings with Huaiyu. Wu Huaiyu thought that he was a good person, and he didn't have the arrogance of looking down at others with the nose of the five surnames.
With the introduction of Doulu Huairang, I made a friend.
Later, the emperor asked officials to recommend virtuous people. Huaiyu recommended Zhang Xingcheng, Zhang Xuansu and others, and also recommended Lu Chengqing.
Of course, Lu Chengqing was of noble status and relatively talented. His father, Lu Chisong, had been the governor of Hedong and had been a friend of Li Yuan for a long time. He responded to Li Yuan very early, so he was granted the title of Duke of Fanyang. However, he died very early, and Lu Chengqing inherited the title early.
Many officials recommended him as knowledgeable and talented, so Li Shimin summoned him to Beijing to meet the saints. After taking the exam in person, he was highly praised and directly promoted to the sixth grade examination officer Wai Lang.
And now he has been promoted to the fifth rank of Wannian County Magistrate.
The two county magistrates, one from the Hongnong Yang family and the other from the Fanyang Lu family, are both descendants of famous families. Fortunately, Huaiyu is familiar with them, so there is no need to worry about these two subordinates being difficult to deal with.
Yongzhou is not only responsible for the eighteen counties in the capital, but also responsible for the public security of Chang'an. It has a high level and great power, ranking under the minister and above the minister.
The Yongzhou Yamen is not subject to appeals from level to level. Cases proven to have solid evidence can be sentenced to death in court without being tried by the three courts. Yongzhou has its own prison.
However, as a yamen in the capital, being an official is not that easy. Not only do you have to deal with so many yamen in Chang'an, but most importantly, you have to face the many princes, nobles, and even relatives of the royal family in the capital. If you don't have any skills, this official is very
It's been a long time.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Yongzhou Mu has been led by princes from afar. The two actual chief officials of Beijia Zhizhong are also led by the prime minister or minister of the court, which not only facilitates communication between various yamen, but also can control the residents.
This is the first time Wu Huaiyu has done this.
On the first day of taking office, Wu Huaiyu met with everyone, got to know each other, and then announced something.
When he came to take office, he got a sum of money from the emperor and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In addition, the six gates also supported a sum of money and food.
Wu Huaiyu divided the money and food into three parts. One part was used as the principal of the public loan, and the interest was collected on the loan. The other part was used as the capital of the canteen, which was used to purchase food for the officials to use for free lunches. The remaining part was used
Repair the yamen, especially build a new batch of official residences and dormitories.
Some Yongzhou Yamen officials are from outside the country, and it is expensive to come here to take up their posts. In addition, renting a house increases the cost, especially for some low-level officials or even those who have migrated abroad.
Huaiyu planned to allocate money to build dormitories in the official residence so that officials could live in the yamen more conveniently. Especially for those out-of-town, young and unmarried officials, living in dormitories would be both convenient and economical.
This kind of Shangguan works for everyone's benefit as soon as he comes, and he really wins the praise of all the officials.
In particular, the money allocated to the public house and food money will be used to immediately distribute a New Year's benefit. If there is money, silk, rice, noodles, soy sauce, vinegar, wine, salt, tea, etc., everyone calls Duke Yi Guo Mighty.
There are quite a lot of officials in Yongzhou Prefecture. There is one official from the third rank, one from the fourth rank, two from the fourth rank, two from the seventh rank to record affairs, two from the ninth rank to record affairs, two from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, two from the sixth rank, and two from the eighth rank.
Six people joined the army under Pin Xia Lu,
There are also a doctor of economics and a teaching assistant, as well as the newly established doctor of medicine and a medical teaching assistant.
The miscellaneous duties are divided into fifteen for holding swords, eleven for wardens, twelve for asking questions, and twenty-four for white officers.
There are nearly a hundred officials with official names, not counting those temporary personnel without official establishment, such as the Qianzhu Ling Shi Yongzhou, there are eighteen.
In addition, there are a lot of assistants, historians, order historians, calligraphers, etc. for each Cao Cao.
There are many bad people waiting.
There are also many officials who serve as officials, such as Bai Zhi and Zhi Yi.
As the Yongzhou Prefecture, which is in charge of the capital's surface, the total number of people on the surface is only one hundred, but in fact it has nearly a thousand people.
This does not include officials from the following counties.
Compared with ordinary Shangzhou, Yongzhou's official staffing is basically double.
On the first day he took office, he got a lot of benefits for all the officials, and everyone was very happy. Even today's lunch, Wu Huaiyu had prepared it in advance, killing chickens and sheep, and having a beautiful meal.
On the first day of work, Wu Huaiyu didn't plan to do any official work. He just wanted to get to know everyone.
However, Wei Siqi, who was an official in Yongzhou and joined the army, came to Huaiyu to report his work with a document.
"Wu Biejia, Magistrate Yang is also here. A case has been reported to the Chang'an County Government Office, and our Prefectural Government Office has objections."
Wei Siqi is the elder brother of Wei Siren, Marquis of Huguagua, who was granted the title of Duke of Henan. He also has an eldest brother, Siyan, who was granted the title of Duke of Shu. Although they are all independent nobles, the three brothers all hold the title of duke and marquis, which indeed represents the prosperity of the Wei family.
This is not only because their sister Wei Nizi is the emperor Zhaoyi and their cousin is the emperor's noble concubine, but most importantly because they are the sons of Jingzhao Wei.
Wei Siqi's father-in-law is the former Prime Minister Du Yan.
Facing the fifth-rank crimson-robed baron Yang Zuan of Chang'an County, the young Wei Siqi did not give him any face at all and directly presented a case he had handled to Huaiyu.
Wu Huaiyu took the file and looked through it, and found that there was a woman named Yuan in Chang'an who made lies and deceived the public, and was reported to the Chang'an County Government.
After the trial, the county magistrate Yang Zuan found that there was no evidence, so he let her go.
The thing is just like this. Wei Siqi joined the army as the official of Yongzhou. This official position is the chief judge of Liu Cao, who can judge good and evil. His main responsibility is actually to supervise officials.
This official position is similar to the postal supervisor in the Han Dynasty. It not only supervises the appointment of officials, but also supervises the implementation of central government orders in the local area. It is also responsible for issuing orders, supervising official seals, and handing over official documents from the state government to the Liucao Army for processing. After the matter is completed, it is also responsible for
Review the relevant official documents to check whether there are any irregularities and whether the official business has been completed, and sign it with a red pen.
For this official position, if Yongzhou is compared to the Shangshu Province, then joining the army with Liang Lushi is equivalent to the Shangshu Zuocheng, which has very heavy power.
When the case handled by Yang Zuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County, was reported to Yongzhou, Wei Siqi thought it was inappropriate and refused to pass it.
Now he stabbed Wu Huaiyu directly in front of Yang Zuan, which made Yang Zuan look very unhappy.
Wu Huaiyu deliberately read the case file one more time. Judging from the case file alone, there was nothing wrong with Yang Zuan's verdict. After all, there was no evidence.
But Wei Siqi said that Yuan had been reported many times, so the matter should be investigated in depth, instead of hastily closing the case without any evidence. It especially involves such things as misleading people with lies, and should not be taken lightly.
