Countless people flocked to the Yamen like a tide, wanting to witness with their own eyes how Master Qingtian redressed their injustice!
There is no doubt that if it can be done well, it can gain at least 70% of the people's hearts. If it is just a false story to fool everyone, no one is a fool and has an account in his heart.
After all, you’ve been doing this all these years, so you shouldn’t have extravagant expectations!
The people are like this. As the two senior talents under Lao Zhu, Li Shanchang and Zhang Ximeng know this well.
Cleaning up unjust cases and trying corrupt officials and powerful people is a crucial first step. Only when this cannon is fired can we continue to use other means. Otherwise, there will be many obstacles and it will be difficult to reach the sky.
Therefore, they were busy even before the announcement.
"I have selected fifteen people here. There are no less than hundreds of cases against them. They were all guilty of heinous crimes. They were cut to death by a thousand cuts, but none of them were unjust."
Li Shanchang is indeed a veteran and has already made plans.
After entering the city, immediately seal the files and find these heinous guys.
Zhang Ximeng naturally believed in Li Shanchang and said with a smile: "This is the rule of the Yamen in handling cases, right?"
"What rules?" Li Shanchang blurted out.
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Of course, if you don't know the result, don't launch an investigation!"
Li Shanchang was startled. He had never heard anyone say it before, but it was not wrong to say so. After thinking about it for a while, it made sense.
"We have to shoulder heavy responsibilities and cannot be careless. Take this case of releasing an indictment and cleaning up an unjust prison. If a clean and moral gentleman is found and the case cannot be tried, it will naturally affect the major affairs of the higher authorities. It is reasonable to pick these sure-fire ones.
middle."
Zhang Ximeng expressed his understanding.
"With Mr. Li in charge, everything will go smoothly and success will be immediate."
Li Shanchang smiled, and then said: "Mr. Zhang, if you want to investigate these things, I can only have a rough idea, and helpers are indispensable!"
Zhang Ximeng understood, "Is it time to increase manpower?"
"Well, I have already ordered a few people to come over... I just need Mr. Zhang to take a look at them." Li Shanchang still remembered the agreement he made with Zhang Ximeng. If he wanted to hire people, he had to go through Zhang Ximeng.
"Okay, let them come over quickly. I also want to meet Chuzhou heroes." Zhang Ximeng agreed with a smile.
After Li Shanchang left, five scribes came quickly, all of whom were from Chuzhou.
The leader was dressed in Confucian robes, had thin eyebrows and long eyes, and was elegant. He took the initiative to introduce his name as Yang Yuangao.
The next four people were Ruan Hongdao, Li Menggeng, Hou Yuanshan, and Fan Jingzhao.
Zhang Ximeng looked at it and said with a smile: "You and Mr. Li both work together in Chuzhou?"
Yang Yuangao hurriedly said: "It is indeed true. Brother Baishi (Li Shanchang) has a wise minister and a decisive mind, which is ten thousand times better than mine. Now we have joined the Ming Lord and are willing to do our best to assist the superior and achieve great things!"
After he finished speaking, the remaining four people also joined in and continued to praise Lao Zhu, almost praising Zhu Yuanzhang as a rare flower in the sky and hard to find on the earth.
Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but smile. He really deserves to be from the yamen. He flatters her so smoothly. They are exactly the same as the former Li Shanchang, not to mention being very similar.
Zhang Ximeng suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart... Why did Li Shanchang, the first civil servant in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, leave the court? At such an old age, he would still be implicated. He must be eliminated!
In fact, it can be seen from this recommendation of talents.
You said we don’t need these people? Who else can we use?
Chuzhou is such a big city, there are not many scholars, and even fewer are familiar with official documents. Therefore, we must accept Lao Li's recommendation.
But the problem is that these people, by virtue of their merits as Conglong, will be officials above the magistrate level in the future, and it is not impossible for them to even become high-ranking officials in the border areas.
They were all recommended by Li Shanchang and promoted by Lao Li. It seems self-evident who they will listen to! And in the process of Lao Zhu conquering the world and taking over the world, such people continued to emerge, from the six departments of the imperial court to
The local government offices are almost pervasive.
This group of people not only threatened the imperial power, Lao Zhu treated the people well and formulated many policies to facilitate the people, such as hearing drums and so on, and even allowed the people to send corrupt officials to Beijing.
Can this group of people obey Zhu Yuanzhang honestly? After all, they are all infected with the habits of the Yuan Dynasty. Once they lose their suppression, no one knows what will happen...
There is no intention to whitewash Zhu Yuanzhang here. I am just talking about an objective reality. Any decision has complex reasons. It is not even as simple as paving the way for the emperor's grandson, but many conditions are superimposed and entangled, forcing Zhu Yuanzhang to do nothing.
Not for.
Zhang Ximeng pondered for a while and suddenly said: "You have been working in Yuanting for many years and have rich experience. What do you think should be done?"
Several people looked at each other, and it was still Yang Yuangao who took the lead in speaking.
"Naturally, I don't avoid difficulties, I'm not afraid of hardship, I work wholeheartedly, and I assist the superiors."
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "What you said is certainly good. But I want to ask you, how do you see yourself?"
"Well... I think that since I am an official, I naturally have to serve for the superior position, guard the place, fulfill my duties loyally, work hard and never regret it."
Zhang Ximeng laughed and shook his head. Yang Yuangao and others were confused. Could this be wrong?
Zhang Ximeng sighed: "Of course the words are good, but let me tell you, you guys seem to think too highly of yourself."
A few people don't know why. Since Lao Zhu intends to fight for the world, they come to join him, hoping to make some achievements and leave a name in history. Is it possible for a person to have ideals and ambitions and make a mistake?
They looked at Zhang Ximeng in confusion. Could this young man have lost his mind and talk nonsense here?
Zhang Ximeng motioned for them to sit down, and then said: "As an official, I help the Lord at the top and manage the people at the bottom. Some people think that we should help the emperor and father and make decisions for the people. This is also right. If I can do this, I will naturally
It's like falling to the ground. It's just that not every official can do this."
"As an official, the most fundamental thing is to reach out to the subordinates and implement the orders... To put it bluntly, it is to communicate with the superiors and serve as a bridge. Do you think so?"
Yang Yuangao hurriedly said: "Sir, I admire your eloquent remarks."
Zhang Ximeng shook his head and said: "This metaphor is not entirely true. People and bridges are different. Once the bridge is built and placed there, people on both sides can pass by without any hindrance. But when a person opens his mouth, he can speak or
Whether it's more or less, it all depends on a thought. Isn't there a saying that it's called deceiving the superiors and concealing the inferiors?"
When these four words came out, the five people's expressions changed. Some of the timid ones even started shaking their hands.
Li Shanchang didn't tell them either, why is this kid so difficult to deal with?
Could it be that he has some leverage and wants to settle things with the big guys?
"Don't be afraid, everyone. I'm just discussing the matter. I have absolutely no other intention. I just want to tell everyone that as officials, we are just humble public servants!"
"To be humble, we must remember that there is the lord above and countless people below. We cannot afford to offend these. Be honest and understand everyone. Don't be self-righteous and think you are great. You can play tricks on the lord and bully the people...this point
Everyone must understand that this is no longer the Yuan Dynasty, and the bad habits of the past will be thrown out of the window!"
"Of course, no matter how humble we are, we are still public servants... Since we have the official title, we must understand that we should have the overall situation in our hearts, there are big rights and wrongs, and there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed. The Lord must not be bullied, and the people must not be insulted. Uphold the same
With a conscience in doing things, you must maintain the existing rules and maintain this foundation! No matter how far you develop in the future, you must not forget this iron law!"
Yang Yuangao and others were quite shocked and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
In fact, given Zhu Yuanzhang's current strength, it is a bit early to say this.
But Yang Yuangao and others were not stupid either. Why did Li Shanchang say hello and they all came?
After all, I was still shocked.
Look at the soldiers in the city who don't enter people's homes.
If you freeze to death, don’t demolish your house; if you starve to death, don’t plunder.
The Yue Family Army is nothing more than that!
Zhu Yuanzhang has strong troops and considerable means, so we can look forward to it in the future!
Not to mention anything else, Xu Shouhui, who started out as a cloth seller, has become the Great Emperor Tianwan.
Zhang Shicheng, who was born as a salt worker, just became king on the first day of the first lunar month.
It's hard to say how far Zhu Yuanzhang can go.
And when it came to that step, what Zhang Ximeng said was a wise saying.
“Thank you for your advice, I’ll take it into my heart!”
Yang Yuangao took the lead and saluted and thanked everyone.
Seeing that they had listened, Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but smile warmly, "My lord is a man of great potential, and now we are in a troubled world. If we open our eyes, the future is limitless. My words may not sound good, but they do come from the bottom of my heart. We should know ourselves
Whoever you are working for, don’t enter the true temple and worship false gods!”
The hearts of Yang Yuangao and the other five people were pounding wildly, and they quickly agreed.
This young man is really not simple. There is temptation in the warning, and warning in the encouragement.
I thought Li Shanchang could coax Zhu Yuanzhang around and become the number one civil servant... Now I look at it, I'm afraid he's not qualified yet!
After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he took out the official document, carefully inquired about the situation of several of them, filled it in the file, wrote his name, asked them to stamp it, and then used their seal.
Yang Yuangao couldn't help being surprised when he saw Zhang Ximeng's name.
Zhang Ximeng is calm, he has encountered it too many times.
"I am from the Zhang family in Jinan, the Zhang family you know!"
Yang Yuangao couldn't help but his eyes widened. He didn't dare to say anything more, he just retreated obediently... When several people came out and got together, he could only smile helplessly.
"I can't believe that Mr. Yunzhuang's descendants actually joined the Red Scarf Army! We are not as noble as others!"
The remaining four people looked at it and understood. Stop thinking nonsense and work honestly!
So they said in unison: "Yes, we are all humble public servants!"
