Within one day, four people were invited to drink tea at the Hui Tong Pavilion, and the officialdom of the Southern Capital of the Ming Dynasty was immediately alarmed!
These four people are from the ministry, from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and from the government offices. They cover a wide range of people. They include high-ranking officials such as ministers, Fengxian officials, and government officials. The categories are also complete!
Looking at this, could it be that everyone may be affected?
Moreover, after entering the Huitong Hall, there was no trace of the four people immediately, and they were not transferred to a certain prison. It really made it difficult for outsiders to understand what the regulations were.
Looking at the Grand Sima Wang Tingxiang, he still works in the Ministry of War most of the time every day. I have not heard of any interrogation. It seems that the four people were really invited to drink tea in the Hui Tong Pavilion as guests.
There is also a new urban legend emerging. It is said that Wang Dasima has a secret order and sends a demon boy with supernatural powers as an embroidered messenger to carry out assassinations day and night. If he hears anything illegal, he will drink tea and invite people to the Huitong Pavilion to investigate.
.
According to incomplete statistics, tea sales in Nanjing dropped by about 10% that month.
Qin Dewei drank tea and looked at the fresh confession on the table, frowning very dissatisfied.
Among these four people, the first one who couldn't stand it was Fuya Tong, who sentenced Huatai. Because Hua Biejia had the lowest status and the smallest "crime".
Judging with reason, cooperating with the imperial envoy as soon as possible is obviously the best choice for him. The crime is not serious, and coupled with the factor of meritorious service, it may be just a fine in the end.
But Huabiejia's confession couldn't pass Qin Dewei's test. He only confessed to accepting bribes from Huizhou merchants, then cooperating with a certain minister to bully the county government, and colluding with Feng Zhixian to make him incompetent in the examination. Is this also called a crime?
So Qin Dewei went into the hospital again, risking violation of regulations and hinted to Hua Biejia: "There are still some things that you have not explained clearly, and you need to add some more!
Especially don't evade the important and take the easy! For example, you did not write down such a major incident as the government government seizing private property! And was this matter secretly instigated by some government officials?
By extension, does this yameni rely on his father's influence to commit crimes? You should boldly write down everything you know!"
People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Hua Biejia was helpless and could only add another confession.
Only then did Qin Dewei put away the confession with satisfaction, and then confessed: "When I hand the confession to the Grand Sima, I can let you go! Be a good person after you get out, and remember to make up for your mistakes!"
On the same day, Grand Sima came over from the Ministry of War, read Hua Biejia's confession, and approved his release.
So Fuya Tongpan Huatai was the first person to come out after drinking tea in the Huitong Hall, but he kept silent about what happened to him. Before the punishment from the court came down, he dared to talk nonsense, which made others even more curious.
.
Furthermore, when Huabie returned to the government office, he did one thing and urged that the former residence of Zhonglie, Baozhong Temple, and some vegetable gardens be handed over to the county government. Then he went home to await his punishment and stayed behind closed doors.
In a situation where one's own side has the upper hand, once a breakthrough is opened, the entire opponent's collapse will not be far away.
In the meeting hall, Wang Tingxiang consulted Qin Dewei again: "It seems that there is no problem with the opening call. What should we do next?"
Qin Dewei, who had already avenged most of his revenge and had his own house back, no longer wanted to get involved in these errands anymore.
As a temporary worker, no matter how good he is, he will not be promoted to a higher position. And the most important thing is that doing this kind of work may offend more people, and there is no practical benefit, so why bother?
Therefore, Qin Dewei declined politely and wisely: "I am just a humble writer. I have tried my best to offer advice once in a while. How can I take an overall view and make decisions? It is really beyond my ability."
How could Wang Tingxiang let such cheap and easy-to-use child labor go, "According to my observation of your past affairs, I found that you are very good at punishing people. No, it is to rectify the atmosphere. You must have some ideas that you have not expressed."
"It's really gone." Qin Dewei said very sincerely, "I am famous in the southern capital for my poetic talent, but most of my talent is in literature.
In fact, I am not the director of government affairs. I just did it for a few days in order to make a living. Sir, don’t be too high-minded and look down on me!"
Prime Minister Wang Ting stroked his beard calmly and said: "I am always fair in rewards and punishments. I never send others in vain, nor do I treat those who have done meritorious service badly."
Qin Dewei was indifferent. No matter how capable you are, you can't give yourself fame. This is what you need most at the moment. Qin Dewei really doesn't care about others.
Money? The bank is about to take off; beauty? Qin Dewei is not good enough yet; power? As long as it does not belong to you, it is all empty.
Wang Tingxiang was very calm: "I vaguely remember that a commander-in-chief made some mistakes last year and was exempted from the quota of Enyin's son being one hundred households?
Do you know that the rewards and punishments for military attachés’ promotions and demotions are all drawn up by the Ministry of War? For example, what is the way the Ministry of Personnel treats civil servants?”
Qin Dewei: "..."
Uncle Wang, you are really a master of horse racing!
Wang Tingxiang pretended to be disdainful and said: "It's just a hundred households, it's really a trivial matter to me."
Qin Dewei showed a pair of questioning eyes, "How can the gift that was punished be rewarded for no reason?"
Of course Wang Tingxiang was confident, "It's very simple. If you make further achievements, you can ask for the rewards to be returned."
Send someone to guard the Hui Tong Pavilion, and when the errand is over, I will be responsible for the performance."
"Actually, I still have some immature ideas about rectifying the atmosphere of the officials." Qin Dewei said nonchalantly: "It's just that I didn't think carefully about it just now and didn't dare to show my shame in front of the boss."
Wang Tingxiang said tolerantly: "It's okay, even if it's not comprehensive, we can tell it and we can discuss it together."
Qin Dewei immediately said eloquently: "The sage said, I should examine myself three times! In the next stage, we can mainly arrange self-examination according to the righteousness of the sage!
Specifically, officials of the sixth rank and above in all yamen in Nandu, as well as the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, are required to write self-reflection books to seriously reflect on their own shortcomings and mistakes in doing things, and whether they are unworthy of the kindness of the emperor!
In addition, not only themselves, but also the omissions and mistakes of the yamen must be reflected on!
This arrangement has two major advantages. It can save a lot of inspection manpower and save the court's money, food and manpower. It will not disturb the yamen too much and cause confusion among the people, and it will not be accused of being too harsh and abusing the officials!
At the same time, the self-reflection letters submitted by each person can be compared with each other, and maybe clues can be found. If there are any contradictions, a case can be filed and followed up!
Even if they are all official articles and no problems have been found, if there are so many self-reflection books compiled together to express to Your Majesty that I am sorry for your kindness and to seriously change my ways, I can still get by on the outside!
This is enough for the boss to have an explanation to the court. Coupled with the four actual examples in the early stage, the court will not hold the boss accountable for his incompetence!
All in all, this strategy can achieve multiple goals with one stone. Sir, just follow it and it will be over! If you can't help it, just let me guard the imperial envoy... Oh no, I made a mistake!"
Wang Tingxiang: "..."
What do you call government affairs, which is not your specialty? What do you call immature and inconsiderate ideas? The imperial court might as well appoint you as an imperial envoy!
