Chapter 188 The Three Ignorances of the Inspectorate
Xu Jingchang wanted to treat him, but several important ministers did not want to eat. For example, Liu Jun did not even want to look at Xu Jingchang. But Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji did not move. On the contrary, Xia Yuanji smiled and said to Xu Jingchang: "We talked about official business." It’s time to eat something, my stomach is already empty.”
Jian Yi directly pulled up a chair and sat down.
The rest of the people didn't dare to leave when they saw what was going on, so they simply sat down. However, in their current mood, nothing they ate tasted good, and they didn't even think about picking up the food, so they could only sit there.
Xu Jingchang was in a good mood, poured a round of wine for everyone, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I heard a lot. In fact, Pingzhangyuan issues some evaluations every year, formulates some big strategies, and provides some suggestions to His Majesty. , It’s really nothing special. We don’t interfere in the daily affairs of various ministries.”
After hearing this, everyone felt a little better, but everyone would not believe Xu Jingchang easily. After all, this guy's character was questionable. What if he told lies?
Sure enough, after Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he smiled and said: "But in order to provide an accurate reference for His Majesty, I still hope that the ministries can accurately hand over various situations so that Pingzhangyuan can make an accurate assessment. If it is because of your If there is any mistake caused by omission, I will report it to His Majesty."
Xia Yuanji hummed: "Dong Guogong, what do you mean? Are you saying that the six ministries will all listen to you in the future? Why did you turn Pingzhangyuan into a political hall?"
Xu Jingchang shook his head decisively, "Have you, don't talk nonsense, you are going to impeach him!"
Xu Jingchang was the one who was afraid, "You still want to write a letter, you want to impeach him and make himself prime minister!"
Gao Yushi snorted: "That's a big mistake... Take their household department as an example. Do they need to make a budget every year? Do they have a detailed account of their income and expenditure?"
Wuzhong's face was as dark as water, and he said in a deep voice: "The Inspectorate and Li Kezhuang are both in the seventh-grade yamen, and he is one level lower than you. Why should he supervise the Inspectorate?"
Gao Yushi said with a smile: "Worry, you will ask for an order. The situation in the Inspectorate really needs to be checked."
"If you ask him again, Yunnan has not recruited many civilians and not many soldiers?"
Gao Guangwen's face turned red and he said helplessly: "The superior officer knows about this matter."
"Does this allow the Inspectorate to supervise others?" Gao Censor said in a pianistic manner, rejecting Wuzhong's question. The Inspectorate himself used the big system to control the small ones, and these first-level censors often impeached princes and nobles, but Some people say our level is enough!
Jiang Zhenbiao was sweating profusely, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "Shangguan knew, but Shangguan is not guilty."
Gao Yushi smiled and said: "Well, in those days, if we decided to use troops against Annan, we would call Yunnan Road, Guangxi Road, Qichuan Road, Guizhou Road, and Qidao Yushi."
Gao Yushi added: "He monitors Guangxi. Does he know that there are not many chieftains in Guangxi?"
Jiang Zhenbiao said: "Of course there is no such thing, but you still need to give it to him! That is what is handed to Your Majesty."
That time Wuzhong had no choice but to go up. When he was young, there were more than seventy censors, lined up in a row, standing behind Gao Censor.
Of course, even so, it's quite scary. It's like missing another father under the Eight Parts.
Gao Yushi said: "Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. If we even say we are in the right, what else can we do?"
"You must have made a mistake when you said this. Is it dereliction of duty? Is it harming the country and the people?" Gao Yushi snorted: "The situation in Yunnan is all vague, so some people are clamoring to mobilize troops. When the time comes,
We need to consume less money and food, and we need to use less people... All these things, you know everything, and you still dare to repeat your words and start a war?"
Jiang Zhenbiao took a deep breath and suddenly laughed, "Dingguo Gong, we will collect business taxes together, and he also knows everything about the Baochao reform. Naturally, you welcome him to check. There is nothing wrong. Listen to your majesty.
That’s not what I meant, you definitely dare to stop me.”
Gao Guangwen was startled and said, "You should ask the Ministry of Household Affairs about this matter."
Xu Jingchang understood it, and so did everyone else.
Wuzhong had no choice but to hum and say: "Things that are pure will become pure by themselves, and those that are turbid will become turbid by themselves. Duke Ding is willing to come and investigate. Congratulations to Xiaojia for coming."
"You, of course you have heard about it, and bribery is a legal matter for us. It is his duty to report to the imperial court." Gao Guangwen argued.
Gao Guangwen calmed down, "Those things are all matters of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Yunnan Chief Envoy's Yamen... How can the Shangguan District Censor know?"
Gao Guangwen was startled.
Wuzhong was startled, and then explained: "Ding Guo Gong, he wants to monitor the censors, whether they are greedy, cruel, cautious, or talented... Name them by name and ask the seven censors.
What’s the point?”
Gao Yushi laughed and said, "Yes, it belongs to Shaoyu. Now I have to ask him, what problems has the Inspectorate found when they did nothing in those years?"
Gao Yushi smiled and said: "In this case, you Li Kezhuang must first evaluate the situation of the Inspectorate. You should also take a look at the little things that the censors in charge of the imperial court have done to benefit the country and the people?"
Gao Yushi frowned slightly. It was obvious that Xu Jingchang was less tactful than Wuzhong. Did I have a hard time? Anyway, he is young and you can't drag him into the water with you. He is an old fox.
"But Your Majesty, there is only one person who can always look at all aspects vaguely, right? In order to avoid their omissions, there must be someone who can make a thorough assessment before handing it over to Your Majesty for reference."
Jiang Zhenbiao saw that, turned to look at Wuzhong, whose face was ashen, and said hotly: "Wu Duyu, you also want to stop asking questions. The imperial censor can only focus on the personal ethics of officials and whether they are corrupt. But he
Even the basic situation of the province under supervision is known, even if there is no minor corruption concealment, it is known... By the way, you must have guessed wrong, none of us have been to Yunnan and Guangxi, right? "
The man was in his seventies, tall and majestic in appearance. I took a step back and said, "Shangguan Yunnan Road Censor Gao Guangwen was appointed last year to serve as Yunnan Road Supervisory Censor. He wrote seventeen letters in the past year.
, a total of one envoy, eight prefects, and one county magistrate were impeached and dismissed. They also impeached princes for indulging their servants and hurting people's lives... All the officials impeached were rewarded, and they are all clearly visible. Xu Pingzhang cannot check them at will.
And there is a falsehood."
"Dong Guo, he doesn't have any orders. Whatever he wants to see, just give him orders."
Gao Yushi smiled and nodded. I looked around and pointed at the last one, "Which censor is he and what is he responsible for?"
Gao Yushi also asked weakly, so I called Zhu Gaochi and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui.
Wuzhong became furious and said, "Ding Guogong, the Supervisory Yuan is in charge of the country's constitution. Whenever officials are corrupt and have all kinds of malpractices, the Supervisory Yuan avoids difficulties and continues to succeed, impeaching traitors and eradicating evil parties... All the credit has been lost.
As we all know, it is really appropriate for Duke Ding to attach so much importance to the Inspectorate."
Gao Yushi laughed and said, "What Wu Duyu said is that this is the scope of supervision by the Ministry of Personnel, and you are the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel, so you are in charge of these things. You have to examine the situation of each ministry and yamen from the perspective of national danger. He
It’s better to bring people here quickly.”
Since there is no chancellor's power, we have no way to directly fight back the things of the Eight Departments. Instead, we have to submit them to Zhu Di and ask for a holy ruling.
Gao Yushi ordered the eighth person, "Which censor is he from?"
Gao Yushi said: "Of course the household department doesn't have the number, but if the household department says it's a lot less, does he doubt it? Does the supervision of the censor need to verify things like money and food?"
"Then, that seems to be the supervisory censor's responsibility."
In the blink of an eye, on the eighth day, Gao Yushi invited Yao Guangxiao to come with him, but the old monk said that he was sick and was willing to participate.
Gao Yushi asked again: "Is the annual revenue of Yunnan province a surplus or a deficit? What is the financial and tax situation? Can it afford the expenses of a small army?"
Gao Yushi nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Lord Yushi, you want to ask him, does he know that there is not much grain stored in Yunnan's treasury?"
Wuzhong, the censor of Youdu, suddenly said: "Dingguo Gong, according to what he said, is it just hearsay? The imperial court has not yet established an inspectorate and eight departments, which are enough to supervise hundreds of officials and inspect eighteen provinces.
Having Li Kezhuang here seems to be a rare thing."
Another question is to ask eight questions.
Gao Yushi was actually unfazed, even looking at it, and continued to talk to Jiang Zhenbiao: "Xia Shangshu, you Li Kezhuang will also be polite about the matters at the Ministry of Revenue, whether it is food or treasures, including business taxes, etc.
All items will be carefully checked and reported truthfully."
"Shangguan has met Xu Pingzhang."
Wu Zhong smiled, "It's true that Gao Yushi was wrong. It's just that all the officials in the Inspectorate are upright and honest, and they are loyal to their duties. It's just Gao Yushi who is the only one."
That Jiang Zhenbiao is not Zhu Di missing a head from his forehead, we are not directly in charge of various ministries... In this way, we really become prime ministers!
Wuzhong was still polite, and out of consideration for the prince's dignity, he came out to greet him and invited Gao Yushi outside.
Gao Guangwen knew it even more.
"As for Duke Ding, the superior officer is Gao Guangwen, the censor of Guangxi Province." The man spoke in a high-pitched voice with a tremor.
Empress Wu Zhong was still in embarrassment, "The Supervisory Office naturally wants to monitor the official documents sent by the local government to understand the situation and whether the imperial court requires us to go to the local government."
Zhu Xiao and Zhu Ba, like the Seven Generals of Heng Ha, followed Gao Yushi to the Inspectorate.
I can only tell them to be careful with their words and deeds, and don't make mistakes. If something happens, someone can save them.
Jiang Zhenbiao laughed and said: "That's not just asking eight questions, but knowing it! If you ask him, he knows everything. Why should he monitor hundreds of officials and issue letters of impeachment?"
The little guys are watching how Gao Yushi will supervise the Inspectorate.
Gao Yushi asked again: "Are there many chieftains at the border?"
After saying that, Wu Zhong stood up and left directly.
Without Li Kezhuang, Gao Yushi said some things about whether the little guy is still used to coming here, but no one was clear about how it would work.
Zhu Gaochi also said: "It's wrong. Father, he has the will. I am also very concerned about those things."
"What is our relationship with Annan? We have no contact?"
Jiang Zhenbiao didn't say anything else. The meal started hastily, and several important officials of the imperial court dispersed in a hurry with their own concerns.
When Gao Yushi heard that, he nodded, turned to Wuzhong and said, "In that case, Gao Yushi can be regarded as the leader of the Inspectorate?"
