The Ming Dynasty started with caution
Chapter 534: Joint Advice
The officials will not agree, but His Majesty may not.
What His Majesty wants is a prosperous age. This move is no different from the establishment of a cabinet mechanism in the early Ming Dynasty, which is good governance.
As long as there is good governance, Emperor Hongzhi may have the courage to break through the ancestral system.
Yan Chengjin looked at Liu Lai with calm eyes: "Will you reveal my plan to Mr. Liu?"
If you can't, I hope you can.
Liu Lai was still in shock and could not recover: "Master Yan, this is absolutely unacceptable! The Ming Dynasty has only had six books, how can we add one more.
The status of the censor is already higher than that of officials of the same rank, so setting up four divisions, wouldn’t it be..."
The censor can directly report officials to His Majesty.
Thanks to this, although the censor is only in the seventh rank, he is more intimidating than the officials in the seventh rank.
He did not agree with Yan Chengjin's establishment of the Fourth Division.
"You come with me." Yan Chengjin walked into the duty room and pointed at the booklet: "You will finish reviewing these sparse memorials and ballads today."
On the three desks, there are sparse memorials and ballads stacked up to half a person's height.
Liu Lai opened a book with a troubled expression on his face: "Why do you need to make things difficult for me, my lord? Even if I stay up all night, I won't be able to finish the review."
Yan Chengjin did not respond, but said: "Take the memorial and follow me out of the palace."
Liu Lai and Jiang Wen were confused, each holding a stack of notes.
After leaving the palace, they boarded a carriage that was waiting here. Liu Lai and the other four looked at Yan Chengjin, wondering where they were going?
Along the way, Yan Chengjin closed his eyes and rested his mind, occasionally opening his eyelids and taking a sip of tea.
The carriage drove quickly and arrived at Liangxiang.
Soon, he stopped in front of a homeless shack. Yan Chengjin put on the three-layer human mouth, and the smell became lighter.
"Bring the notes and ballads with you."
Liu Lai didn't know why, so he could only do as he was told, and each moved a stack of brochures.
The four of them did not mean to look down upon the refugees.
But as I walked into the alley, I felt the smell became more and more acrimonious. The black mud under my feet seemed to be mixed with dung, giving off a peculiar smell.
Suddenly, they felt like they had nowhere to stay, and they all covered their noses.
After walking for a while, Yan Chengjin suddenly asked: "Look at the people here. Liangxiang is obviously getting more prosperous, but why are there more and more refugees?"
Liu Lai showed doubts.
Looking around, the weather is getting colder, but the refugees here are still shivering in their summer shabby clothes.
Yes, the good hometown is becoming more and more prosperous, so why do the number of refugees continue to increase?
Yan Chengjin continued: "It's because there are still many people in the world who have become refugees."
Liu Lai and the other four were slightly shocked, and their hearts twitched suddenly.
Yan Chengjin took the memorial and looked at it. It was the memorial sent back by Chongshi, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian.
"Heavy rains and typhoons in Zhangzhou have destroyed farmland. August is now the time to pay summer taxes.
If this report is not approved by His Majesty, the people of Zhangzhou Prefecture will still have to pay taxes even if they are affected by the disaster. How many people will be forced to leave their homes? "
He picked up another memorandum, which was sent back by Xu Xi, the censor of Luzhou Prefecture: "Hong Jing, the prefect of Luzhou, deceived the people to make money, and the people's farmland was occupied. He blocked the sedan chair and complained angrily to the censor Xu Xi.
How many such sparse memorials do you have in your hands?
Today there is today's sparse memorial, and tomorrow there is tomorrow's sparse memorial.
If it takes one day, when will it be completed?
I don’t need to say much about the number of censors in the capital. You also know it. If you don’t set up four divisions, how will you deal with it? "
In the previous life, the efficiency of officials was also a problem, let alone today.
Although the Yushi Yamen was set up in the local area to picket one side.
However, the censor has no power to deal with officials and can only report them. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not deal with them, even though these corrupt officials have been identified, they will be shelved.
The censors from the capital must be dispatched to Kedao. We cannot leave too many censors in the capital, as they cannot be handled at all.
Yan Chengjin knew that it was unreasonable to establish the Four Divisions in the Ming Dynasty, as it would impact the old system and cause changes in official positions.
But if we want prosperity and peace, we must make the judiciary more strict and meticulous. This is in conflict with the old system.
In the final analysis, the prisons of later generations also had the same mechanism.
"I'm giving out porridge. I don't accept money. Come and take it away. I'm going back to the palace."
Zhu Houzhao lay on the Taishi chair and shouted nonchalantly.
Lao Gao, this piece of shit, why should he be asked to give porridge?
Liu Lai and others looked around, their eyes almost falling: "Is this...the prince?"
The prince is naughty and everyone in the court knows it, so how can he be so kind-hearted that he gives porridge here?
Liu Lai took a closer look and saw that he was really the prince.
Zhu Houzhao also saw the five of them, especially Yan Chengjin, who was wearing a human muzzle and was very conspicuous: "Old Gao, what I promised you is done. You must keep your promise."
Liu Lai and the others looked at Yan Chengjin: "Sir, why is the prince giving porridge here?"
Yan Chengjin said: "This is my official's advice. It's getting cold. Please give some food to the refugees."
Liu Lai's eyes were stunned, a little unbelievable, as if his perception had undergone earth-shaking changes.
There were rumors in the court that Yan Chengjin delayed the prince and lost his ambition by playing with things.
He always believed it to be true and hated Yan Chengjin deeply.
But now I see it, it’s just a rumor, a rumor in the palace!
Looking at the crowds of refugees receiving porridge, they were grateful to the prince. Suddenly, Liu Lai bowed deeply to Yan Chengjin: "I have always misunderstood you!"
Zhu Houzhao felt something was strange: "Lao Gao, what's wrong with him?"
Yan Chengjin said to the tool man Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, don't pay attention and concentrate on serving porridge."
He said to Liu Lai and the others: "Giving porridge is a bad idea, but getting rid of the evil officials in the world is the best way."
Back on the carriage, there was a hint of reverence in the eyes of Liu Lai and the others.
Yan Chengjin was a little scared. Was he pretending too much?
When they arrived in the capital, Yan Chengjin sent the four people back to their homes.
…
Liu Mansion,
A red sedan chair with four people standing in front of the vermilion gate.
After walking out of the sedan chair, Liu Jian took off his official hat and handed it to the housekeeper: "Master, have you finished your duty?"
"Just finished my duty, waiting for the master in the main hall." said the housekeeper.
Liu Jian looked surprised. Lai'er rarely had anything to talk to him. If he was waiting for him, it was because he had something important to do.
He hurried into the main hall.
When Liu Lai saw him, he came up to him and said, "Father, Lord Yan's plan is to set up four departments in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Liu Jian's face changed drastically. This kid really wanted to change the system again!
The Emperor Gao changed the Censorate to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, set the official system, and wanted to set up four departments...
"Have you checked it out?"
Liu Lai shook his head: "Lord Yan told me."
This...Yan Chengjin said it himself. Liu Jian always felt that something was wrong.
But he also felt it was reasonable, so Yan Chengjin advised His Majesty to search his mansion.
He even took the initiative to let the Jinyiwei monitor him.
Not keeping secrets is exactly the style of that kid.
"If the Censorate sets up four departments, wouldn't it become six departments? It's nonsense."
Liu Lai said, "Father is not on duty at the Censorate, so he must not know how many memorials and impeachments are sent back by the Censorate every day.
As far as my son knows, many impeachments are left unresolved.
How can the Ming Dynasty achieve peace day after day?"
If the court does not issue an order, the local government has no right to deal with it, so officials often come to the capital to petition at the risk of losing their official hats.
Liu Jian glared at his son: "What nonsense!"
"Tomorrow, I will follow Lord Yan to petition His Majesty." Liu Lai bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Crazy!
This kid has only been with Yan Chengjin for one day, and he has gone crazy!
Liu Jian staggered and fell into the chair, shocked and his mind went blank.
Yan Chengjin, what on earth did you do to my son?
