Chapter 27 Checking the water meter of Honglu Temple

In fact, Pei Min is playing this anonymous reporting system, and there is still a certain amount of pressure in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause Wu Zetian has also issued a similar whistleblower policy in history, although it is very different, it has also made a report box called Tongkuang!

This copper box is much more high-end and atmospheric than Pei Min's report box, which is a large bronze vessel with four mouths poured with pure copper, and the bronze ware is coated with blue, dan, white, and black. Each color of the mouth has a different effect. The cyan mouth is used for talented people who are talented and learned to give poems to officials; Danse's mouth is to admonish, to the far-sighted people to talk about the gains and losses of the government; The white mouth is for the wronged and wronged to be avenged; The black mouth is for those who predict the heavenly machine, the celestial catastrophe, and the secret plan of the military plane. The bronze vessel was placed outside the noon gate and was thrown at the mercy of others. Wu Zetian's intention is obvious, that is, to consolidate his power and exclude dissidents through this means of whistleblowing. In order to achieve this goal, she even issued a special edict: "If there is an informant, the subordinates are not allowed to ask, and they are all given to the stagecoach and provided with five kinds of food." "Let the good students like local officials and uncles entertain the informants who enter Beijing, and they are not allowed to inquire about the content of the informants, and invite the informants to Beijing.

The cool officials Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen were reused by Wu Zetian because of their high level of whistleblowing. This atmosphere of whistleblowing was maintained until Wu Zetian was full of wings and killed by Lai Junchen.

Regardless of Wu Zetian's intentions, the "invention" of the report box is indeed clever, and Yushitai has been using it, but the effect it can achieve is already very small. On the one hand, this kind of fanfare is tantamount to making the real whistleblowers public, and it is not rigorous and appropriate, which will increase the chances of retaliation. On the other hand, because of Wu Zetian's indiscriminate use, it led to a decline in credibility.

Pei Min improved the whistleblowing system according to some knowledge of later generations: he used all means to hide the identity of the whistleblower, and for those who were illiterate and reported in person, it was strictly forbidden for the imperial history to leak any of his information to anyone, even if insiders were not allowed to inquire into the identity of the whistleblower if they did not contact it, so as to ensure the safety of the whistleblower. On the other hand, it also corrected Wu Zetian's shortcomings, encouraged but not connived, and focused on the internal investigation of the Yushitai, not hearsay. Crucially, Pei Min knows very well that absolute power can only make people absolutely corrupt. Of course, he didn't dare to say this nonsense. Instead, he directly used his actions to add a set of shackles to himself, and it was clearly stated in the recital of Shangshu Shangshu Province that a reporting department would be set up within the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the supervision of the Imperial History of the Procuratorate would be responsible. In order to prevent the emergence of cool officials like Lai Junchen, as in the Wu Zetian period, abuse of power.

Judging from the response, it is still very good. But so far, it has been a small fight, and it is not enough to become a climate. Therefore, Pei Min is in a hurry to do a big thing, prove himself, and prove that his proposal is beneficial to the country and the people, and is not full of political goals to exclude dissidents like Wu Zetian.

Pei Min also experienced the feeling of coming to Junchen for a while, but if he wanted to sue someone, he just needed to see that others were not pleasing to the eye, but he needed to wait for the rabbit, the gap between the two really can't be reasoned.

Under Pei Min's shout, six inspectors gathered in front of him.

As the head of the Taiwan Yuan, Pei Min can mobilize more than these six people, but these six are subordinates who are directly assigned by him under his name.

"Serving the Imperial History!" A white and thin young man looked at Pei Min with a little excitement, others are like Wang Xiaobai, a very strange name, but he is loyal, and he has a bit of hard skills on his feet. Originally, because of his work in the Imperial Historical Tower, his neighbors were afraid of him like a tiger, and they hardly interacted with his family, and they hid when they met and passed by, as if they were avoiding the plague god. If it weren't for the good fortune of Yushitai and the service of his parents at home, he wouldn't want to do it a long time ago.

Recently, because of Pei Min's arrival, the image of Yushitai has changed slightly, and the attitude of the neighbors towards him has also changed to a certain extent, especially the girl who is a childhood sweetheart has been allowed by her father and is willing to talk to him, and her heart is happy. reciprocated the favor, and admired Pei Min for causing all this.

Hearing Pei Min's call, the first one ran closer.

"But there's a big case?" Wang Xiaobai knew that Pei Min had been waiting for a big case recently, and when he saw him so excited, he was also excited.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, there is indeed a good thing!" Pei Min's eyes flashed with a little excitement, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's check the water meter!" ”

Wang Xiaobai was confused, and he didn't know what to do with checking the water meter, but seeing that Pei Min had already gone away, the six of them didn't have time to ask and hurriedly followed.

Wang Xiaobai volunteered: "I'll lead the horse for you!" ”

"No!" Pei Min smiled: "Just go to the neighborhood, there are not many roads, just walk." ”

"Taishi Eunuch?"

"No, Honglu Temple!" Pei Min narrowed his eyes.

Honglu Temple is located on the street directly in front of the Goshidai, only 600 meters away, but it takes only a quarter of an hour to reach the door.

The gate of Honglu Temple was tightly closed, and Pei Min motioned for Wang Xiaobai to knock on the door.

Wang Xiaobai was a little jealous and said, "Not okay? ”

"Afraid of what?" Pei Min looked puzzled.

Wang Xiaobai said nervously: "This is Honglu Temple, it is said that there are a group of masters inside, some of the old ones have become fine, all of them can speak well, why are you looking for them?" ”

Pei Min hated the feeling that iron could not become steel, but it was Yushitai, in the words of later generations, it was the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, where to put the small Honglu Temple in his eyes, and said: "Let you knock it!" You don't dare, I'll come! ”

Wang Xiaobai knocked a few times, and the temple door opened.

When the guards at the gate saw a group of officials from the Imperial History Tower, they took two steps back in fright, and when they saw that the first one was such a young boy, they knew his identity and said, "I've seen the Imperial History!" ”

Pei Min strode into the door and said, "Go and inform your Chongxuan Order, and Yushitai will look for him to handle the case." ”

The methods of the Imperial Historical Observatory back then were still there, and the guards dared to stop them at all, so they turned around and ran to inform the boss of the Honglu Temple.

Knowing the arrival of the Yushitai, the Honglu Temple was like a great enemy in an instant, and the Honglu Temple, the Honglu Temple Shaoqing, and the Honglu Temple gathered together in an instant, and their expressions were a little flustered.

"I've seen Siqing, Shaoqing, and Sicheng!" Pei Min still greeted them very politely, and the three of them were above him in terms of official rank.

Honglu Temple Qing is an old man with gray hair, his eyes widened and said: "Yushitai has no contact with my Honglu Temple, I don't know what to do with Yushi?" He spoke rather haughtily, apparently looking down on the Imperial Tower. Especially Pei Min's system after wanting to practice martial arts, in his opinion, it was completely done by the ministers.

Pei Min still smiled politely: "Yushitai investigates the case, it is inconvenient to disclose the details, and I hope Siqing will forgive me." However, I came to find Chongxuan Ling, and it has nothing to do with the rest of the people, so Siqing, Shaoqing, and Sicheng don't have to worry too much. ”

Honglu Temple Qing said angrily: "My Honglu Temple is not a place to hide filth and dirt, how can there be anything to check." Young people are quite talented and learned, so do not follow the example of traitors and go down the wrong path. ”

Pei Min responded: "Whether it is a place to hide dirt or not, you can always say that it doesn't count." His face turned pale and he said, "Who would dare to stop the Yushitai in handling the case?" He was only good at speaking when the other party was old, but the other party was aggressive and felt superior to others, and his words were all in a tone of lessons. If what he said is reasonable, Pei Min can accept it, but he is full of nonsense, relying on the old and selling the old, and he is too lazy to be polite to him.

Before Honglu Siqing could answer, he asked Honglu Temple Shaoqing to let someone stop and said: "Wang Sicheng, you take the imperial history to the Chongxuan Department to find Chongxuan Ling." ”

Wang Sicheng hurriedly led Pei Min to find Chongxuanling.

Seeing Pei Min and the others leaving, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple swallowed his anger and said: "This new official of the Imperial History will make such a big noise when he takes office, doesn't he know that now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at him and watching his jokes." He is so nonsense, do you really think that with dragon skills, you can be lawless? It has nothing to do with us whether he can take it or not. It's just that I didn't expect this Liwei to come to our Honglu Temple!! ”

Honglu Temple Qing said angrily: "This Pei Min is a lawless Tian Shehan, if he wants to do things to come to Junchen and bewitch the saint, I will definitely refer to him, let him know that the current Son of Heaven is surnamed Li, not Wu ......."

Honglu Temple Shaoqing's eyes rolled, and he said resentfully: "I also want to see how many days he can be arrogant." ”

Chongxuanling is a sub-division of Honglu Temple, in charge of the accounts of Taoist monks and Taoist priests in major temples in Chang'an, as long as the monks and Taoists who are monks and monks in local temples in Chang'an are recorded here.

"I've seen the Imperial History!" Chongxuanling's surname is Lu, a single name stands, and he salutes Pei Min tremblingly, he is only an eight-grade petty official, not as good as Honglu Temple Qingzheng, so confident.

"Where are the monks' books?" Pei Min was not polite to him, and directly explained his intentions.

Lu Li's expression changed slightly and asked, "I don't know why the imperial history of the servant wants to check the monk's account books?" ”

Pei Min looked at him and said with a thoughtful smile: "There are many extremely vicious people under Hu Seng Huifan, I want to find the whereabouts of a person, he has become a monk, but I don't know what his current Dharma name is." ”

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "May I also ask the name of that person before he left home?" The account room of the Chongxuan Department is dirty, and the contemptible people will help you find it. ”

"What are you doing with so much nonsense?" Pei Min said angrily unceremoniously: "I am on official business, so don't delay my time, otherwise you will be pressed into Taiwan prison and taste the criminal law of my imperial history." ”

As soon as he heard the criminal law of Yushitai, Lu Li's face turned pale instantly, and the prison of Yushitai was even more terrifying than the Ghost Gate.

How dare Lu Li ink, he was terrified in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

When I came to the account room, there were six bookshelves, densely packed with various account books, almost no less than 10,000 books. Among them, the Taoist priest only has one and a half bookshelves, while the monk occupies as many as four.

Each bookshelf is labeled, and it is clear from the past few years and months.

This year is the year of the Ugly, Pei Min quickly found this year's account book, turned to the recently naturalized monk, the account book recorded in detail the monk's hometown, common name, age, temple, shaving master's name and official office: this latest naturalized monk turned out to be the day before yesterday, and the identity is still a rich family with a large field!
