Chapter 732: Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water
Chapter 732 A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water
In Chang'an, in the Liangyi Hall of the Imperial Palace, the court officials who came to participate in the Five-Day Dynasty followed the guards and exited the hall in an orderly manner.
"The Zhai family summoned Qin Xiang Ganlu to play the right battle."
Qin Lang raised his head and glanced at the hall, the emperor had already taken a step ahead surrounded by his servants. Qin Lang is a bit annoyed, he is so annoyed, there are meetings when there is nothing to do, although the court system has been changed now, one court every two days, one court every five days, and occasionally he can sleep in late, but the emperor can hold meetings before the imperial court, battles Play right.
Just arrived at the Ministry of Officials temporarily to preside over affairs, and Jingcha is busy.
"Yesterday, Director Han brought Cui Shiyu to face the saint..." Xiao Huangmen lowered his head, glanced around quickly from the corner of his eye, and seeing no one nearby, he said quickly and softly.
Qin Lang looked at the small yellow gate with some surprise, and looked at the clothes and crown belt on his body. This is a **** of the sixth or seventh rank, and he should be the official sixth-rank **** supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There are ten internal inspectors, and then there are fifth-rank internal servants and internal regular attendants, fourth-rank internal attendants and young supervisors, and third-rank supervisors.
Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is an institution of eunuchs, in the early Tang Dynasty it was mainly run by civil servants, so the supervisors and young supervisors generally used civil servants. The highest level of eunuchs can be the fourth-rank internal servants, with four positions.
Below the internal servants, it is mainly internal servants, internal servants, internal auditors, supervisors, and internal auditors.
"What's the eunuch's name?"
Qin Lang asked plainly, this is not a curse, but a compliment. The eunuchs in the early Tang Dynasty were generally called the chiefs of each prison. The same is true for the general prisoner, as well as the Shaofu prison and other officials.
In the Sui Dynasty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also changed to the Changqiu Supervisor, and eunuchs were also used as young supervisors and supervisors.
"Slaves and maidservants who are in charge of supervisors do not dare to be called eunuchs."
Qin Lang nodded, "Gao Quan, I remember you."
Gao Quan is also a sensible person. He took such a risk to leak the secrets of the palace. In fact, if he is found out, it will be a capital crime, and he may even implicate Qin Lang. But wealth and wealth are in danger, if you don't have a strong relationship backing, the end of the sixth-rank inner sage prison is over. He entered the Taiji Palace in the previous dynasty, and was taken care of by his adoptive father, Sui Neishi Gao Yao, so he could stand out from the crowd of eunuchs, but although his adoptive father paved the way, he is now in the Taishang Emperor's Da'an Palace, with the Taishang Emperor It's like losing any real power.
Gao Quan was still young and ambitious, so even though it was a capital offense to deal with foreign ministers and prime ministers in private, he couldn't help but take this step.
He just revealed an important piece of news to Qin Lang, the emperor asked Qin Lang to play the right game, and it was related to Han Zhongliang, the new censor doctor of Yushitai, and Cui Renshi, the imperial censor.
This is to make Qin Lang prepare in his heart, so as not to be unprepared when the time comes.
Qin Lang left.
Gao Quan stood there with his head down, trembling with excitement, even his back was soaked. Although Wei Guogong only asked him a name, it was enough. For a prime minister like Qin Lang, it is impossible to chat with him here, let alone give him any promises.
Did not report him, in fact, has succeeded.
He bet right, a young prime minister like Qin Lang is definitely not that rigid person. He would never dare to change another person, such as Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu, that would be to die.
Qin Lang went to Ganlu Hall with another fourth-rank servant with higher status.
On the way, he thought about what articles Yushitai had in his hand. After Ma Zhou left Yushitai, it was Han Zhongliang who took over. Zhongliang's house is very close.
In fact, the old Han’s family looks after Nanyang, and the Nanyang Han’s family can be regarded as the first-line gentry family in the Central Plains after the five surnames in Shandong. The old Han’s family merged with the Guanlong Group earlier. Liu Ji can be much stronger.
The Han family, like Li Jing and Changsun Wuji, is the core family of the Guanlong Group. Qin Lang has no relationship with Lao Han, but he has never heard that Lao Han is a mad dog that bites.
Old Han's new official took office, so he's going to focus on Qin Lang first?
Does this mean that you want to take a prime minister to sacrifice the flag first or something?
As for Shi Cuiren, the censor, he is a stubborn one.
Cui Renshi's surname is Cui, but it is not Qinghe Cui but Boling Cui. He is a branch of Boling Cui's Dingzhou Cui family. Officials, and then passed the imperial examination in the Wude period and re-entered the officialdom.
Old Cui stayed in Chang'an for two years after he passed the Jinshi examination, and then he was quickly transferred to another place to join the army. Later, he was appreciated by the prime minister Chen Shuda, and was recommended by the big man to the emperor, saying that this man is talented and can be used by anyone. As a historian or admonisher, he was transferred to Beijing as a Youwuwei to participate in the military and participated in the compilation of history books.
Having been in Chang'an for several years, the iron head is very famous, and the pen is also famous. Therefore, in the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin reused Lao Cui as the imperial censor in the palace. He handled several major cases as soon as he took office, which Li Shimin admired very much. , He was also transferred to the Ministry of Accounts to be a doctor of the Duzhi Division. He also has outstanding talents in economics and financial management, especially in mathematics. It is said that he can dictate thousands of expenditures in mental calculations.
But later, when Qin Lang worshiped Pingzhang, Lao Cui's yamen messed up the errand, Qin Lang very unceremoniously pursued the responsibility of the leader, Lao Cui, and gave a bad review during the assessment.
So Lao Cui was demoted, and after a circle, he went to Yushitai again.
It's just that this time, he has been transferred from the palace courtyard of the third courtyard of Yushitai to the Taiyuan to serve as the servant of the censor.
The censors in Taiyuan have much more power than the censors in the temple.
There are nine censors in the hall, whose main duty is to stand on the hall during the court meeting to manage discipline and etiquette, while the six censors in the Taiyuan are in charge of picketing officials, impeaching lawbreakers, and even judging cases specially ordered by the emperor. Menxia Province gave Shizhong and Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Sheren were divided into Zhichaotang, which accepted unjust lawsuits, and was known as the third junior division.
The six censors also take turns in charge of the daily chores of the censor's office.
In Yushitai, their status is second only to Yushi doctor and Yushi Zhongcheng.
It seems that Lao Cui was demoted because he gave him a bad review before, and he has a grudge. Now that he was transferred to the Taiwan Academy as a censor, he immediately used the picket and impeachment power at hand to retaliate against himself.
This old Cui is too vindictive.
Yushitai is a relatively special yamen. The special thing is that the Tang Dynasty now uses the Zhengshitang as the center, and the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, five supervisors, and sixteen guards are all under the leadership of the prime ministers, but this Yushitai But it is not among them.
Yushitai can supervise the prime minister because of its supervisory power.
The imperial censor impeached the prime minister. This is big news. Although the imperial censor has the power to supervise, the prime minister is the head of all officials. Who would dare to impeach without any certainty? If the result cannot be played, it will be difficult for the censor to end.
······
Manna Hall.
Qin Lang signed up outside the hall, and a servant came out to lead him in, "The house is changing clothes, Qin Xiang wait a moment."
The servant retreated, and he was the only one standing there in the huge hall. This was Li Shimin's bedroom, the emperor's study room, and the place where he usually received ministers.
On the emperor's huge imperial case, there are four treasures of the study. The emperor often copies Wang Youjun's calligraphy here. One side of the wall is full of bookshelves, with nearly ten thousand volumes of books on it.
Behind the imperial case, there are winding copper screens. Qin Lang found out that these screens have a mystery. Each copper screen is carved with a map of mountains and rivers. Each screen actually represents a legend of the Tang Dynasty. road.
And on those maps, there is also a list written in fine pen. If you look closely, it is a list of officials from the observation envoys, transit envoys, and governors of various states on the road to the county magistrates.
"There are thousands of miles of land in the Tang Dynasty, more than 1,800 counties in more than 360 prefectures in 18 provinces. There are many officials acting as herdsmen on behalf of the Son of Heaven. I can't remember the names of these officials, so I specially asked Yousi to update it every ten days. The list of officials on the screen." Li Shimin changed into a set of regular clothes and said with a smile when he saw him looking at the screen.
Qin Lang quickly flattered him, "Your Majesty, this is a good idea, as clear as the roster of soldiers in the military tent."
Li Shimin snorted, and sat in front of the imperial case, "What's the matter with you, I transferred you from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Officials, what dissatisfaction do you have?"
"The minister is a brick of the Tang Dynasty. He can move it wherever it is needed. The minister is also a **** under the command of the sage. He can fight wherever he wants. How can there be dissatisfaction."
"The auxiliary machine has gone to the Western Regions, and the official department will conduct a comprehensive investigation and plan this year. It must be presided over by no one. I trust you to transfer you to the official department, but Yushitai is suing you and impeaching you." There are more than a dozen copies of watches and seals, you can see for yourself!"
Li Shimin threw out a large stack of impeachment papers and threw them to Qin Lang for himself to read.
"Your Majesty, I am not afraid to investigate when I ask the scriptures. It is their duty to hear and hear about things, and it is also the method of supervision by officials."
Li Shimin seemed to have expected Qin Lang's attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
"There is no need to initiate a formal investigation, please explain to me first."
"Explain what?"
Li Shimin tapped his fingers on the case, "I will explain the matter of Yu Shitai's impeachment one by one. Read it yourself, and then give me a reasonable explanation."
Qin Lang picked up those impeachment papers and read them one by one.
There are quite a few charges of impeachment.
There is someone who impeached Qin Lang for taking advantage of his position, planting party items, and forming a party. Some impeached Qin Lang for using his power for personal gain, saying that he let the government offices in Chang'an build official residences and quarters, and taking the opportunity to arrange for his own people to take over the project and sell materials, and some said that he built the Daming Palace and filled his own pockets with corruption.
There is even a letter mentioning that Qin Lang recently sent people to Chang'an to scoop up people from prisons, buy people from various markets, and get those state criminals into fiefdoms, completely ignoring the legal system. It is also said that Qin Lang's fiefdom violated the rules seriously, including excessive support of soldiers, possession of weapons and equipment, etc.
Some even said that he evaded taxes.
It's just nonsense.
"Sages believe this?"
"I want to hear your explanation."
"How can I explain these nonsense without any evidence? As a prime minister, even if you want to impeach me, you need some decent evidence, right?"
"It's the power of the censors to hear the rumors."
Qin Lang responded unceremoniously, "Then whoever makes the claim can provide evidence. I am willing to fully cooperate with the investigation. In order to avoid suspicion and ensure the fairness of the investigation, I am willing to suspend immediately, or resign!"
