Chapter 033 Will the juniors cause public outrage?
Gao Pragmatic never thought that he would one day become a censor.
When he was studying history in his previous life, he had always had a prejudice. He felt that ninety-nine percent of the officials in ancient Chinese dynasties were trash. They all claimed to be clean and honest, and they only knew how to talk about this and that, but in fact they couldn't do anything.
, it is simply a waste of imperial salary.
It's a lucky coincidence that this time it's his turn to be the speaker.
The location of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not like that of the Cabinet and the Sixth Section, which are inside the palace city. It is also not like the Five Ministries and Five Military Governor's Offices and the Hanlin Academy, which are on the left and right sides of the line between Chengtianmen and Damingmen. Instead, it is located alone in the North City.
Southwest Fucaifang.
Oh, actually it’s not so lonely, because there is the Dali Temple to the south of the Ducha Yuan, and the Punishment Department on the left - the Punishment Department is not together with the other five ministries, but is arranged here, forming the famous "Xing Bu" with the Du Cha Yuan and Dali Temple.
"Three Law Division".
In the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Punishment replaced Dali Temple in charge of the main trial business, and Dali Temple became the organ of caution in punishment, mainly managing the refutation and redress of unjust and wrong cases.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the most detached. It can not only supervise the judicial organs, but also has extensive power to supervise all types of yamen at all levels across the country.
Theoretically speaking, the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom, regardless of civil or military affairs. The timid censor even supervises the emperor and his servants - of course this is a bit dangerous, and it generally depends on the emperor's temper.
If you encounter a kind-hearted emperor like Longqing, supervising the emperor is a serious matter, it is nothing more than demotion and transfer, basically your head is still stable; if you encounter a violent emperor like Jiajing, the result of supervising the emperor will most likely be the imperial staff.
, it’s not surprising to be beaten to death, it’s hard to say even if you’re Ling Chi.
Since the Emperor has not officially taken office, the Metropolitan Procuratorate's supervision of him is not strict for the time being. In fact, the power to supervise the Emperor is currently held by the acting cabinet.
Moreover, since the Gao Gong era, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section have admitted many of Gao Gong's disciples. This is of course to control speech, and there is nothing worth explaining. Just like Wang Guoguang, a veteran of the imperial court who joined Gao Gong's party halfway,
After working in the Ministry of Household Affairs for two or three years to clear the land, because he offended too many people, he was transferred to Zuodu Yushi, replacing Ge Shouli, an old friend of Gao Gong. The purpose was still to control the public opinion.
At a critical moment like the implementation of the New Deal, Gao Gong needed to speak out and at least not jump out and cause trouble. Guo Pu also held the same attitude after taking over as the chief minister. Since most of Gao Gong's former disciples were promoted, he promoted some of them in the second year of Wanli.
The students accepted during the presiding examination will be added to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, in the current Metropolitan Procuratorate, the high-ranking party or the pragmatic party has an advantage.
Gao Pingshi came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take up his new post, and first received a new personal identity card, waist badge, official uniform and other items.
When he got the official uniform, Gao Pingshi was a little dumbfounded. Although the fifth to seventh-grade official uniforms all wore cyan official uniforms, he was wearing the Heron Buzi two days ago, and the White Pheasant Buzi one day ago, and today he changed to the Heron Buzi.
Haechi Buzi.
Within three days, the breasts on the chest continued to change, and there was no one left.
The person who received Gao Pragmatic today was an acquaintance of his. His name was Xu Yixing, who was born in the second grade of Jinshi in the second year of Wanli and was a disciple of Guo Pu. Xu Yixing was from Shandong. He was quite tall, but very elegant.
When he met Gao Jingshi, he was very affectionate and introduced him to the various public houses of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, he did not take Gao Jingshi to his public house, but took him directly to see Wang Guoguang.
This move made Gao Pragmatic a little surprised. He thought to himself, since I am new here, shouldn't I be given an "office" first? Although there are more than 100 seventh-grade censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they must be working together in the grand public office.
, but you have to arrange a table for me first. Why do you go directly to see the Zuodu Yushi first?
When they met Wang Guoguang, Gao Jingshi was even more surprised. As soon as Wang Guangguang saw him, he asked Xu Yixing to go out and do his own business, and then asked Gao Jingshi to sit down.
Next, Wang Guoguang said: "To be honest, you should be able to guess the reason for this demotion, so I won't say much else. I will only tell you one thing: Empress Dowager Rensheng has made an explanation.
Please take care of the cabinet and don’t really criticize you too harshly.”
Most of the upper echelons of Gao's party knew about the connection between Gao Jingshi and the Empress Dowager Chen, but they didn't know it in detail, so Wang Guoguang didn't speak too carefully about it.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic must still be grateful.
After Gao Gao pragmatically showed his loyalty, Wang Guoguang said again: "You also know that as a rule, all newly elected censors must sit in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for half a year or serve on probation for one year before being officially appointed. After the expiration of the period,
The censor of the capital will evaluate it, write down the comments, and then send them back to the Ministry of Personnel together with the comments, for review and selection. But this time you are making an exception, because the Queen Mother has given an explanation, and the cabinet has also taken care of it.
I will handle special matters and directly call you the censor."
Gao Pangshi has been struggling with this matter since yesterday because it may have an impact on his reputation. He asked tentatively: "If this is the case, will the government and the public be in an uproar, thinking that Yuan Fu and the General Constitution are acting unfairly?"
"It's impossible to talk about it." Wang Guoguang sighed: "There are two reasons. First, your demotion this time is directly related to the emperor's edict of sin, so it is not unexpected to have special treatment; second, you
Although he is a Jinshi in Jinke, he has served in the Hanlin Academy before. Although he has not completed his term, he compiled the "Da Ming Huidian" in just three months and was promoted to two levels in a row due to his contribution as the chief editor.
Both the family background and the ability to do things have attracted the attention of both the government and the public, so naturally he is not a new official, so it is not inappropriate to demote him to the censor."
After listening to his explanation, Gao Pingshi felt slightly relieved.
Unexpectedly, Wang Guoguang's next words made him feel excited again. Wang Guoguang said: "When it comes to things that may cause uproar between the government and the public, there are actually... Yuan Fu and I have discussed it, because of the Empress Dowager Cisheng's
If you request, we must send you a foreign mission as soon as possible. However, there are currently people in charge of all missions. There is only one Guangxi patrol commissioner, Hu You, who is about to be vacated. His mother just passed away and he has to rush back to his hometown of Ding Muyou. Please ask for Ding You's memorial just the day before yesterday.
When I arrived, I was already on my way back to my hometown. There is a lot of chaos in Guangxi now, and troops are even being used. How can it be done without patrols? So this matter cannot be postponed. I was originally considering candidates, but don’t think about it this time. I just
I can let you go and kill two birds with one stone."
Gao pragmatic was so shocked that he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He said anxiously: "It is so important to patrol a province. I am a new scholar. It is already an exception to be transferred to the imperial censor. I have no experience and send a large mission to patrol a province. How can I explain it?"
In the past? Besides, the imperial court also had regulations. Northerners did not tour the south, and southerners did not tour the north, in order to avoid not knowing the customs..."
"How can I not know what you are saying?" Wang Guoguang said with a bitter smile: "When sending foreign missions, you must have people to send. Now there are people in various places, and the latest one who can be adjusted will be at the beginning of next year... What do you think?
Can the Queen Mother tolerate your leaving until next year?"
Gao pragmatic swallowed, took a long breath, looked at Wang Guangguang and said: "Although Guangxi has been in chaos for many years, this is a provincial patrol after all! General Constitution, this junior will not cause public outrage.
Bar?"
Wang Guoguang stood up and patted his shoulder: "If you do well, don't be afraid."
