Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly. He had just left the Yamen when the housekeeper from Zhejiang Province came to the door. Most likely, he had sent people to keep an eye on the Yamen entrance, right?
Although the Censor of Jiangnan Road is just a fifth-rank official, his status and real power are equivalent to the head of the joint disciplinary inspection team of Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces.
Yuzhu can hear about all the big and small affairs in these three provinces without having to bear any responsibility.
This power is simply too great.
"The little man Cai Wu, please see the master." Cai Wu, the chief steward of Zhejiang Province, knelt down and saluted respectfully.
The fifteen supervisory censors will all be respectfully called Lord Daoxian. The supervisory censors with their heads and palms printed on them are generally called Lord Zhangdao.
Yuzhu raised his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Get up. I wonder what business you have to do?"
"To be honest with you, I'm here to pay charcoal as a tribute. It's bitterly cold today, and I know that I'm certainly not short of such a little money. However, it's always a matter of contempt, and it's also in the capital.
It's an old rule." Cai Wu took out the gift list from his arms, bent down and presented it with both hands.
Wu Jiang on the side stepped forward to take the gift list and handed it to Yuzhu's hand.
Under normal circumstances, no one would look at the gift list in front of the gift giver. However, Cai Wu was talking about Tan Jing, so Yu Zhu needed to weigh whether he could accept it.
There is a fundamental difference between accepting and then returning something and rejecting it directly.
Yuzhu opened the gift sheet and looked at it, then smiled, he was indeed distracted. Five hundred catties of silver frost charcoal, twenty catties of sugar, and one hundred taels of silver.
This gift list seems inconspicuous.
In fact, the market price of Yinshuang charcoal alone is five hundred cents per catty. White sugar is even more valuable, eight hundred cents per catty.
One pound, sixteen taels!
The so-called white sugar in this era is actually yellowed sucrose, not pure white sugar.
According to the bizarre anti-corruption policies of this era, cashiers must be considered bribes. However, cashiers like charcoal and sugar are not considered bribes, but the court's tacit recognition of charcoal respect.
Yuzhu did not intend to take bribes, but he also did not want to be an upright official. What good end did the deputy examiner of Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination, the famous upright official Wang Zhishan, get in the end?
Everyone accepted the silver frost charcoal and white sugar. Yuzhu nodded and accepted it, but returned the one hundred taels of silver.
Cai Wuben was the chief steward who was responsible for managing the powerful officials in the capital. When he saw Yuzhu's behavior, he knew that only half of the favor was given away.
In fact, the main reason why local officials came up with the idea of "Bingjingtanjing" was because they were afraid that the powerful officials in the capital would deliberately block their taxation and reimbursement matters and would not cancel them.
Historically, after Zeng Guofan wiped out the Changmao in Jiangnan, he needed to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to reimburse military expenses.
Who would have thought that Tangtang Zeng, who had his head shaved, and Marshal Zeng, would be strangled by several clerks from the Ministry of Revenue to claim reimbursements. He had to rely on huge private bribes to solve the problem.
Yuzhu collected the supplies but confiscated the money. This told Cai Wu that when Yuzhu participated in the review of criminal cases involving Zhejiang Province, he would do what he should do, but he would not deliberately create difficulties. p>
Cai Wu came to give gifts today just to make things difficult. As for if something really went wrong, there would be rules for giving gifts to eliminate disasters.
If local officials spend money to buy peace, Beijing officials will not deliberately make things difficult. This is an established and clear rule.
Kangxi also knew about it a long time ago, but acquiesced.
After Yuzhu finished his lunch, he hugged Lin Yan'er and took a beautiful nap, and Shen Shi just woke up.
Hey, Dao Xian and Zong Xian’s Master Yu skipped work on the first day he went to the Yamen. This is really typical of the Tong family.
After getting up, Yuzhu finished washing, changed into casual clothes, and sat in the study to drink tea.
However, before I had a few sips of tea, I met several groups of housekeepers or relatives of senior officials from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui in these three provinces.
These people, without exception, all came to pay homage to the pier under the guise of Tanjing.
Lin Yaner asked Yuzhu curiously: "Master, you are obviously not willing to accept these charcoal, but why do you accept them all?"
Yuzhu smiled slightly, raised his hand and pinched Lin Yan'er's pretty nose, and said with a smile: "Everyone accepts it, but I don't accept it. This is a typical broken rule. Sooner or later, I will be excluded from the entire circle. What about me?
, they only accept charcoal, not money. After all, they still have short hands, so naturally they will not deliberately make things difficult for them. They have bought the peace of mind that I am not suspected of taking bribes, so why not?" p>
Longkodo and Li Si'er made so much dirty money, didn't Kangxi know? He was just pretending not to know.
When it was getting dark, an official document was handed over from the Zongren Mansion. Liu Wu, who had been staying at the inspection yamen, brought the official document back.
Yuzhu opened the official document, and it turned out that Enie, Prince of Ping County, Nersu, and Horqin Borzijit, the direct descendant of Prince Ping, were going to celebrate their fiftieth birthday in five days.
The clan's mansion, please ask Yuzhu, who is also the censor of the clan, to go to the prison when the time comes.
The so-called prison field refers to monitoring the yellow belt clan members for any illegal activities and correcting them on the spot.
On Yuzhu's first day at the Yamen, in order to show his filial piety, he went home to accompany Longkodo and Li Si'er for dinner and ate together.
After dinner, while drinking tea, Yuzhu talked about the affairs of Prince Ping's family.
Longkoduo thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "To be honest, this Pingjun Prince's Mansion is also distantly related to our family."
This is what Yuzhu wanted to hear, so he smiled and said: "Amma, please stop being so secretive and just tell me."
"Hey, Nersu's great-grandmother is my great-aunt." Longkodo said with a smile, "According to this, Nersu is actually your equal."
After Longkodo's detailed introduction, Yuzhu finally understood this level of kinship.
After the lineage of Prince Ping and Prince Li Daishan, it passed through Luoluohuan, Luo Keduo, and Nerfu, and then reached the head of Nersu.
Among them, Luo Luohuan's direct descendant Fujin is Tong Yangxing's direct eldest daughter.
Tong Yangxing’s eldest daughter is also Tong Tulai’s biological sister.
Tong Tulai was none other than Longkodo's biological grandfather and Yuzhu's great-grandfather.
Putting aside this distant so-called relative relationship, in fact, Prince Pingjun Nersu and Yuzhu are still brothers-in-law.
This is because Prince Nersu of Ping County is about to marry Cao Yi, the eldest daughter of Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin, the great Cao Jia clan.
And Yuzhu will also marry Cao Yin's concubine Cao Chun, the little Cao Jia.
The emperor has publicly granted the marriage, and there is no reason to change it.
Hehe, this is not brother-in-law, so what is it?
Seeing that Yuzhu and Long Ke were chatting very animatedly, Li Si'er was unhappy. She grabbed Yuzhu's sleeves and said with a smile: "My dear son, how do you feel about going to the Yamen today?"
Yuzhu knew what Li Si'er wanted to hear, so he smiled and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has separated the inspection clan yamen separately. I can have the final say in the yamen."
Li Si'er immediately screamed with joy and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good. Being an official means being like you, Ama. Everything in the yamen is entirely up to you and you have the final say." p>
Long Keduo ate such a handful from Li Si'er and couldn't help but twitch his beard and smiled proudly: "I can gather 30,000 soldiers with just a raise of my hand."
On the face of the jade pillar, he remained calm, but he sighed in his heart. It was this man who could gather 30,000 soldiers with just one hand and killed his family of three.
Who is the fourth child? When I want to trick you into being loyal, what are you talking about?
When you offend the fundamental interests of the fourth child, he will fall out faster than turning the page in a book, no matter how vicious he is, how come.
In history, Longkodo survived ten days of starvation. As a result, his mouth and nose were covered with dozens of layers of soaked yellow paper and he died.
This kind of behavior of the fourth child is, as the saying goes, willing to give anything to those who love it, but those who hate it will only crush their bones and spread ashes!
The next morning, the sun was already shining, and Yuzhu had not yet woken up from his sleep.
Hu Biao sent someone from the Yamen to deliver a message from the Ministry of Punishment, and the Zhejiang Officials Department of the Ministry of Punishment invited Yuzhu to participate in the joint trial of the three divisions in the afternoon.
The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also known as the Three Law Divisions.
A joint trial by three divisions is not a joint trial by three divisions.
The joint trial of the three divisions is a special procedure that requires the emperor’s decree and the participation of the chief judges of the three divisions.
The three-division co-trial is a routine procedure in which officials at the prefect level from the three departments of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate meet to handle criminal cases.
For example, in criminal cases involving Zhejiang, Yuzhu, the Censor of Jiangnan Province, is required to participate in the joint trial.
The nature of the three-division joint trial, to put it bluntly, is a joint meeting before the final decision is written off, in order to reach a consistent opinion.
To avoid big troubles in the future due to disagreements.
A few years ago, due to errors and omissions in the autumn trial of the Ministry of Punishment, the wrong prisoner was killed. As a result, a large number of people in the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple lost their official positions, and some lost their heads.
The protagonists of the three-division joint trial are the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and Yuzhu is there to supervise and prevent them from cheating.
However, if Yuzhu does not sign and use the seal, the criminal cases in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces cannot be written off.
According to the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, criminal cases from other provinces are reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment. Therefore, the Ministry of Punishment has extremely powerful powers, far exceeding those of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.
The scope of the Ministry of Punishment includes: review of cases involving apprenticeship or above in each province, trial of cases involving apprenticeship or above in the capital, joint review of autumn trial cases in each province, and joint review of court trial cases in the capital.
There are eighteen departments under the Ministry of Punishment, such as Zhili Qing Li Department, Fengtian Qing Li Department, Zhejiang Qing Li Department, etc.
Every case in the Qing Dynasty Department is handled by a doctor from the Criminal Department who is in charge of the department. It can be said that the responsibilities and powers are clear and organized.
However, the three divisions will be jointly tried in the afternoon, and someone was sent to notify Yuzhu in the morning. Hey, this is obviously looking down on people.
No wonder, although Yuzhu is the first Manchu champion in the history of the country, he is still too young after all.
Moreover, it is understandable that Yuzhu has not gone through the process of going to the ministry to observe political affairs, so he was despised by the doctor of the Zhejiang Department of the Ministry of Punishment.
However, Yuzhu was once the top leader of a certain committee in the city, and he personally presided over joint meetings of the first committee and three departments no less than a hundred times.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yuzhu has personally participated in and coordinated at least dozens of cases.
The Criminal Department is right next to the wall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
At Shen Shizheng in the afternoon, Yuzhu sat in an official sedan and wandered to the Ministry of Punishment.
