Chapter 1293: February
In the capital in February, it is a good day of bright spring.
Faced with the revival of all things in the fields, many young men and women have gone out of the city. No matter how turbulent the world is, no matter what the actual situation in various places, the capital here always maintains a prosperous atmosphere.
It's just that the officialdom of the capital is always not peaceful, and with the beginning of the single link of the Beijing inspection, the forces of all parties began to attack the enemy forces through the officials they controlled.
In the last Bingchen Jingcha, Li Ben, a cabinet minister who was also the secretary of the ministry, presided over the Jingcha, which can be said to be the most vivid expression of the exclusion of dissidents. At that time, the officials eliminated by the Beijing Inspection Institute, except for some weak and old diseases, were all officials who refused to adhere to the strict party.
The most surprising thing is that the speech officials who have always "accompanied" in the Beijing Chacha were also frantically purged by Li Ben. A total of 38 people were disposed of, and all personnel were demoted.
It is no wonder that many officials hate the Yan family and his son so much. Although their official positions are low, their status is detached, but they do not want to be purged by the Yan Party.
Although Jingcha has long been reduced to a tool to eliminate dissidents, how to blatantly adopt it is still relatively rare in the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that Bingchen Jingcha has revealed the true nature of Jingcha, and everyone understands the essence of this Jingcha in their hearts, so they have also re-sided and chosen the big guy who can shelter them.
Now that Xu Jie's government is in power, Guo Pu, the secretary of the ministry, is faintly like Li Mo in the past. It's just that unlike in the past, the two powerful ministers did not crush each other, but seemed to be friendly together.
Since the two largest forces were not willing to fight, the Yan Party was naturally the target of the attack. It's just that middle- and low-level officials have always been like grass on the wall, and they have already moved closer to these two major forces, and few people still slander the Yan Party and wait to be liquidated.
Therefore, the spearhead of the two forces of Xu Jie and Guo Pu is naturally aimed at those people outside the two parties, and the diehards of the Yan Party are naturally the first to bear the brunt, while the other personnel are unknown for the time being.
Similar to the outer inspection, the Jingcha is also the official of the two capitals is first rated by the Ministry of Officials, and then the internal ministers decide whether the specific officials are left or retained.
It is worth mentioning that officials in the inferior rating usually use expressions such as the old and sick, the greedy and the ruthless, the weak, the imprudent, the impetuous, and the incompetent, which makes it difficult for many officials to defend themselves.
Before the official start of Jingcha, some officials had already chosen to surrender, among which Ge Jin, the left attendant of the military department, attracted the most attention.
Ge Jin, the left waiter of the military department, chose to resign, although he had some friendship with Guo Pu, but he was able to climb from a third-class jinshi to the position of the left waiter of the military department, and it was naturally impossible not to take the door of the strict party.
Ge Jin is a native of Ge Mountain, the king of Changyi, Shandong, and is a third-class jinshi and first, and the early stage of his career is inconspicuous. It's just that Hu Zongxian, an official with military talent, made many miraculous feats during his tenure as the governor of Xuantai, and also served as the left attendant of the military department, and was given a big red woven gold Luo Feiyu suit, promoted to the second level, and was specially ordered to eat the second grade, and advanced to the senior doctor.
If Yan had been in the court, he would probably have replaced Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department. On the contrary, he made the mistake of standing in the ranks of the strict party, but it was inevitable that he would be involved.
Maybe it was because he saw what happened to Hu Zongxian, or maybe he knew that he couldn't pass this Jingcha at all, so he chose to take the initiative to submit his resignation to the imperial court in exchange for a more decent end.
was dismissed by the imperial court and took the initiative to resign, the latter will undoubtedly make this official return to his hometown more decently, which is also the reason why many officials have been asked to submit their petitions when Jingcha came.
The resignation was handed in, but it was not retained by the imperial court, and the cabinet quickly agreed to the resignation of Ge Jin, the left attendant of the military department.
This is the case with party struggle, it has nothing to do with personal ability, and it has nothing to do with personal morality, once you stand on the wrong team, you are destined to be kicked out of this court.
Shuncheon Mansion, sign the house.
Although Lin Ran was an official in the capital and was the manager of Beijing City, he, the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, was not classified as a Beijing official. In this Jingcha, the essence has nothing to do with him.
But no matter how turbulent the court is, he, the Shuntian Mansion Yin, has been sitting in the Shuntian Mansion in the north of the city, fulfilling the obligations of the Shuntian Mansion Yin, and conscientiously governing the world's largest city.
Whether it is the prefect of Leizhou or the prefect of Guangzhou, this proves that Lin Ran is a good official with brains and willing to do something practical for the people. After serving as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, Lin Ran still did not change this.
From presiding over unjust cases for the people and solving public security problems, to applying to the imperial court to cancel the additional distribution of silver, to holding a lantern festival that can promote the development of industry and commerce in the capital, all these have made substantial changes in the appearance of the capital.
The city of Beijing seems to have deliberately avoided the threat of the sea, or the need to go to the sea, except for an official road that runs towards Tianjin, which is located in the southeast, and there is no official road to the east at all.
After Lin Ran learned that the people in the east were troubled by the traffic pain, he also began to put the road repair plan on the agenda, intending to improve the traffic situation in the east of Beijing.
It's just that the construction of roads naturally requires silver taels, and although free road builders can be found by levying forced labor, the materials and food need to be used for silver, which is undoubtedly a problem.
Lin Ran imagined that there were always more ways than difficulties, so he published the road repair plan in the "Shuntian Daily", and then carried out fundraising activities for the wealthy families in the entire city of Beijing.
This is not a new measure, at least Taizu pulled Shen Wansan to repair Nanjing City together, but this kind of fundraising is for face for the first time, and the second time it is often ignored.
What kind of person Lin Ran is, he naturally knows this clearly. It was only when he published the list of sponsors in the Suncheon Ilbo and when he handed over the command of the section to the person with the highest send, that everything changed.
What is the most valuable in this day and age?
For many people, it's no longer a thing of gold or silver, but a good reputation that is admired.
Like some women in order to get the archway of chastity, choose not to remarry or commit suicide for many years, what is the benefit to those rich people who often spend a lot of money in the Qinglou?
"Great Kindness Countryman!"
In the onlookers of several people, Lin Ran, who was wearing a three-grade official uniform, rolled his sleeves, held an enlarged version of the wolf pen, and dipped the research ink method, which was to write these four big characters on rice paper.
When the words were written, the people around them immediately let out an exclamation. When one of the middle-aged fat men dressed as a rich man looked at these four words, his eyes were shining tightly, and the corners of his mouth were overflowing with saliva.
