Chapter 568: Come to the Ministry of Housing, Punishment
At the Hubu Yamen in Beijing, even though it was only about seven in the morning, people were coming and going in the Hubu Yamen, and the Hubu officials had already begun to go to work one after another.
Two bodyguards, Emperor Xin and Wei, three Han and five, entered the Household Department. Emperor Xin arrested a yamen servant on duty and successfully asked where the office of the scribe in charge of his matter was.
When I found the main entrance, I saw a clerk in official uniform burying his head among the papers, processing official documents. When Di Xin came in to identify himself, the clerk just looked calm and sat on the chair without even moving his body.
, he cupped his hands casually and said in a calm tone, "It turns out it's the prince, I've seen him before."
"You..." Wei San was furious. This person was just a small clerk. He couldn't even lift himself up when King Yu came to visit him. This was a bit too arrogant.
Wei San's face turned red and he was about to curse, but Di Xin raised his hand to stop him.
The clerk didn't even look at the three people not far away from the case. Although Prince Yu was a prince, he never had much power. Although he was in a humble position, he was also an official of the court. With Prince Yu's power in the court, Prince Yu really didn't have much power.
What methods can be used against him?
Moreover, although the grade of his official position is low, most of the royal salary, money and food expenditures have to go through his hands, which can be said to be a lowly and powerful position. Although King Yu has not said the purpose of coming this time, he already knows it in his heart.
After all, this matter is considered a semi-public matter in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it has been spread in the Ministry of Household Affairs for a long time.
He thought to himself that if Prince Yu wanted to do something, he had to beg him, and he didn't dare to really offend him, so he also played it safe. After all, there were not many opportunities for a prince to humble himself.
Tianhuang is a noble person, which can greatly satisfy his vanity.
Of course, if he really wanted him to approve the money from Prince Yu, he would not dare. After all, without Yang Youxu, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, speaking out, if he really wanted to do this, he would undoubtedly do so without the black gauze hat on his head.
These small officials are not like those high-ranking officials in the imperial court, whose appointments and removals need to be decided after discussion by the court and the cabinet. Usually, although small officials like them are said to be responsible for the specific affairs of the department, their departure or retention is just a matter of a word from the minister. He
If you still want to eat this bowl of rice, you can't go against Zuo Shilang.
Therefore, he was only going to show some airs to satisfy his vanity, and then find an excuse to send King Yu away.
Emperor Xin stopped Wei San from scolding him, and came to the clerk's case. He raised his hands and said: "Sir, you are neither humble nor arrogant when I come to visit you, but there is a trend of celebrities. I am clumsy in my eyes. I haven't seen you yet."
Please tell me your name, sir."
When the clerk heard Di Xin's polite words, his vanity was greatly satisfied. He proudly touched his beard on his chin and said with a smile: "The villain's surname is Yi. I don't dare to be praised like this by the prince. I'm just a villain."
I have been working in this household department for a long time and have seen a lot, so I seem to be calm and relaxed."
The implication is that I have met many important people, so don’t try to intimidate me by pretending to be a prince.
Di Xin said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Yi is in front of you, but I am rude. I think Mr. Yi handles official documents in an orderly, fast and orderly manner. He is obviously an old official with many years of experience, the evergreen pine of the household department, right?"
Yi Shuli thought to himself that you still have some discernment, and replied: "That's right, this clerk has been working in this Hubu Yamen for more than ten years, and there has never been a single mistake in my official documents." Regarding this point, he said
Obviously very proud of it.
Unexpectedly, Di Xin's expression changed after hearing what he said, and he slapped a powerful palm directly on the desk, leaving a deep palm print, causing all the documents and books on the desk to fall on the ground.
land.
Yi Shuli was also shaken by the attack. The brush he was holding was so frightened by Di Xin that he couldn't hold it steady and fell to the ground. He looked at Di Xin with confusion in his eyes. What was going on? Why didn't he return it just now?
Your attitude is pretty good. Did you have a good conversation?
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xin immediately turned his face, pointed at his nose and cursed: "After working for more than ten years, even a pig has become a sperm. When he sees this king, he has this attitude. He doesn't even understand the superiority of elders and younger ones."
Have you? Is this what your commander taught you? Who do you think you are? You are not a famous person in the opposition. You have eaten the rice of the imperial court. You must correct your attitude. This king is a first-class person who has been personally granted the title by the Holy Emperor.
Wang Jue, even if you, the Minister of Household Affairs, are here, you must be polite when facing me. A dog-like thing dares to neglect me like this."
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance is a second-rank official, so he must be treated with courtesy when facing Emperor Xin, a first-rank prince. However, the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Pengxing, is his Mount Tai, and Emperor Xin does not dare to accept his gifts, that is, to use an analogy.
Secretary Yi was stunned. He never imagined that King Yu, who was polite one second, would turn violently the next second.
Facing Di Xin's anger and accusations, he only felt a terrifying power envelope him, covering the sky and the sun, everywhere, making him want to suffocate. He felt like a lonely boat in the tsunami, and he could feel like a lone boat in the tsunami at any time.
They may become unstable and collapse to the ground.
Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded and Yi Shuli was slumped in his seat without any reaction, Emperor Xin was not prepared to let him go.
People from the palace have been here several times before, and they must have made things difficult for him. They all had such a contemptuous attitude towards him, the prince, and one can imagine his attitude towards other people in the palace.
Di Xin ordered the guards behind him: "Wei San, Han Wu, find a rope to tie him up, and let him kneel aside for me to reflect on."
Wei Sanhanwu naturally clasped his fists, and not long after, he saw Secretary Yi kneeling on the ground in front of the desk with his head lowered. Behind the desk, where he used to sit when handling official documents, now sat Emperor Yi with his legs crossed.
pungent.
Di Xin hummed. He knew that if he wanted to get his salary back from the Ministry of Household Affairs this time, it would not work to go to these low-level officials. Although they were the ones in charge, they did not have the power to make decisions.
No matter how well you chat with them, they will only argue with you.
Therefore, Di Xin had no idea of having a good chat with Secretary Yi from the beginning. He came here just to make a big fuss and bring out the senior officials of the Ministry of Revenue, especially Yang Youxu, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was the instigator behind the scenes.
Now that he has decided to make a big fuss, Di Xin will naturally not be polite.
The only difference is that he didn't expect that the little Secretary Yi would be so rude to him, the King of Yu. It was really that someone would give him a pillow when he fell asleep, and he was worried that he had no reason to make trouble.
If this little clerk dares to be so disrespectful to him, then of course he doesn't need to be polite and show him any dignity.
Take him down first, and then ask senior officials from the Ministry of Revenue to hold him accountable.
Di Xin sat in the clerk's room for less than half an hour, and finally the Ministry of Revenue felt something was wrong here.
It stands to reason that at this time, for some official documents that Yi Shuli did not have the authority to do, he would have to go to the principal to have them stamped, but after so long, there was still no movement.
There has never been such a problem in Yi Shu's case of accumulating old officials.
