In the Wuying Palace, Chen Ying, who did not appear in the lobby of Dali Temple, was sitting opposite Zhang Zhaohua, and said a series of events in detail: "...... Ye Zhuan, Wang Wei, Wu Chengping and Liu Wei, when they went out on an errand, accidentally injured the mother of Yuan Gang and Qin Heng. ”

"How did you get injured by mistake?" Zhang Zhaohua said.

"Yuan Gang and Qin Heng's mother," Chen Ying felt a little embarrassed, "to wash the clothes of the people, these people rode by, they couldn't dodge, and the horses' hooves trampled on people." After that, he also lost money, but the worse Yuan Gang's mother's health became, his wife could only work two jobs, and life was even more difficult. ”

Zhang Zhaohua's back slowly straightened: "The salary of the imperial history, can't you even support your family?

"The salaries of officials in the world are probably meager," Chen Ying was silent for a moment before saying, "This is also the standard set by Emperor Gao." The ministers and other imperial historians are a little better, and they take out all the money every month to buy rice, which is almost enough for a family of five to make a living, but the six departments are given to the people in the matter, and it is difficult to support the family, so they can only ask their wives and daughters to come out to do rough work to subsidize the family, and they can't take care of any indecency, as long as this money is not obtained by corruption and bribery. ”

From a personal point of view, Emperor Gao has always hated officials, hated them for taking the court's money and not doing things, or taking bribes to dig the corners of the court, in short, the salaries set for officials are very low, especially compared with the Song Dynasty, which was rich and favored scholars, it was even more pitiful. He asked these officials to take less money and do more, not to rest even for a day, and to guard against moving their heads at any time. I can't stand it on anyone, and later Emperor Gao also knew that this was a bit unkind, so he gave Baiguan three holiday holidays, namely: New Year's Day, Winter Solstice and Lantern Festival, but from that day, only three to five days, that is, there are less than fifteen days of holidays in a year.

Later, the current emperor came to power, the welfare benefits were a little better, the holidays of these three festivals were extended, and a particularly good system was continued - personal leave. Provincial relatives, ancestor worship, relocation of burials, and treatment of biological parents' funerals are allowed to take some vacations. It's just that this leave can be changed, but the official salary set by Emperor Gao can't be changed.

This is why the emperor often rewarded his close ministers, the six ministers and the nine ministers and the cabinet of people cloth, treasure money, colored coins, and platinum, which was regarded as subsidizing them in a different way and improving their lives. Like Shi Kui, the squire of the military department, he distributed these rewards to his clansmen, and used his own money to support his eight sons, but he was "unable to support himself".

The salary of the Liupin Beijing official is not as good as the coolies who do rough work in the capital. Moreover, Yu Lu bought enough rice, but what kind of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea did not cost money? The salary was too low, but those who had power were greedy or not greedy - this is why Emperor Gao punished corrupt officials so harshly, but there were countless corrupt officials born in waves.

Some officials have the ability to embezzle, but most officials do not have the opportunity to bend the law for bribes, just like the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six departments of the government, they live an extremely shabby life and suffer hardship. This is also because Chen Ying is strict in discipline and iron-fisted, he can't let others show that there are people who are corrupt and accept bribes under him when he impeaches others for corruption, right?

Speaking of which, Chen Ying is honest and honest, but she can't find fault with this at all. Although he is a cool official, he has done a very thorough and strict job in preventing and controlling corruption. Therefore, although he spread the atmosphere of exposing false accusations all over the world, he also brought out the atmosphere of incorruptibility, which is why in the hands of Emperor Yongle, there was no way to arrest and kill corrupt officials, and corruption was even less than in the era of Emperor Gao, who punished corrupt officials with an iron fist.

"So Yuan Gang and Qin Heng took revenge for personal gain," Zhang Zhaohua said: "But what does this have to do with Li Zhen, why do you want to implicate this person?"

"After these four soap lis rode horses and injured people, they didn't feel guilty, but ran away," Chen Ying said: "Yuan Gang went to the military department and asked Li Zhen for someone, but Li Zhen had a tough attitude and didn't give it to people." He didn't listen to the facts, and regarded himself as a tiger in the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and waited until the four people couldn't sit still and confessed the matter to himself, and he made the decision and let the four lose some money. ”

Li Zhen shielded these four soaps, so they were grateful, and Ye Zhuancai brought Li Zhen a Duan inkstone worth a hundred yuan. But Yuan Gang and Qin Heng were really resentful when they got such a solution, so they naturally tried every means to retaliate, and after a long time of observing, they finally caught the matter of Duan Yan, and used this as a handle to put Li Zhen and the four of them into the prison of the Criminal Department. Entering the Criminal Department, these people were allowed to do their job, and they were specially confessed to feeding several "snacks".

It's just that no one would have thought that Li Zhen's wife would beat the Dengwen drum and poke the matter out. Unexpectedly, the prince not only personally accepted such a trivial matter, but also ordered the ministers of the six ministries and nine ministers to be tried together, all of which naturally made Chen Ying smell an extraordinary smell.

"Weichen thought," Chen Ying said: "A weak woman in the Wang family, if no one is behind her back, she would not think of beating the Dengwen drum, and she was asked to knock it, which in itself has to be said to be incredible." ”

Zhang Zhaohua rubbed his forehead and said, "You don't care about this matter." ”

Zhang Zhaohua had already secretly ordered Xie Chuan to investigate the matter as early as when the matter first came out, and she once suspected that the person who instructed and helped the Wang family to beat the Dengwen drum was the black hand behind it, and Xie Chuan lived up to his expectations and did find a little clue, but the truth of the matter was still surprising. And the emergence of Zhang Zhaohua's suspicion should not relieve Gao Chi's anger, but will strengthen his determination to eradicate Chen Ying.

Chen Ying caught something from Zhang Zhaohua's expression. He knew that over the years, as a tool in the hands of the emperor, he had already become a thorn in everyone's side, and he had impeached too many people, so countless people had died and committed crimes. Not only Wenchen hated him, but the generals also hated him, and if he wanted to find out who was behind this matter now, there were too many people to choose from.

Since Zhang Zhaohua told him to leave it alone, it can be seen that he knows this person, and he has no choice but to do anything. And Zhang Zhaohua herself should also find it tricky, but what is very interesting is that she doesn't want him to know, find out and deal with this person, so this person may have an old, benevolent relationship with the East Palace, or simply have a kinship that blood is thicker than water.

Chen Ying lowered her head and was still pondering, but she heard Zhang Zhaohua say another sentence, which exploded above his head like a thunderbolt, "The prince wants you to die." ”

Chen Ying's eyes widened, he didn't expect the crown princess to say such a sentence to him directly, but there were even more terrible words spit out of her mouth: "He wants to use you to clean up the source and change the bad political style of the world to admonish and train into prison." ”

The corners of Chen Ying's mouth actually laughed involuntarily: "The minister is accused of thousands of crimes, and it is not the turn of this one." ”

"Who supervises the ministers, who encourages and admonishes," Chen Ying said: "Does the prince really not know? Even if the ministers apologize to the world with death, can this atmosphere of admonishment and training to become a prison be changed?"

Zhang Zhaohua he said didn't know that killing a Chen Ying would not help at all, thinking that Chen Ying was a strict politician and a good servant of people, in fact, there were too many, like Ma Lin, Ding Jue, Zhao Wei, etc., these people are more dangerous than Chen Ying, and Chen Ying In addition to impeaching the people the emperor wants to kill, most of the people who impeach others are indeed guilty, and Ma Lin and Ding Jue are all villains who started by accusing them, they don't care whether this person has a real sin or not, it is simply a false accusation.

But she couldn't stop Gao Chi's determination. This time, Gao Chi was determined to be an unjust case, but in fact, Chen Ying actually did not make a mistake in impeachment, it seems that Gao Chi has nothing to do, but in fact, when Gao Chi said half a month ago that he wanted to settle the unjust prison, I am afraid that he made up his mind - he said that Jinyiwei and the prison of the Criminal Department are all "unjust cases", in fact, he is releasing a signal that he is ready to clean up Chen Ying, he ordered the three law divisions to review the files, and most of the trials are the prisons that arose because of Chen Ying's impeachment, and the people in the outer court also figured out what he meant.
