Chapter 14 Committing many acts of injustice will kill oneself
The governor ascended to the court to personally try civil cases, which was extremely rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Let's just say that the most responsible for the trial of this murder case should be the Qiantang County Government and the Hangzhou Government Office. However, these two Hangzhou City parents were afraid of the background of the admiral weaving eunuch Sun Qing, and chose Mingzhe to protect himself as a shrinking turtle.
It stands to reason that further up there are the political envoys and the yamen, and the commanders and envoys. But Zhu Su didn't plan to wait any longer. Although he had only been the governor of Zhejiang for about a month, he had seen many of Sun Qing's domineering behaviors.
In order to take care of the overall situation, I put up with ordinary things. But this time, Sun Qing instructed his lackeys to ignore people's lives, if he still pretended to be deaf and dumb and ignored him, how could he be worthy of the trust of the saint in him, how could he be worthy of the black veil on his head, and how could he be worthy of the more than 5 million people in Zhejiang Chengxuan's political secretary?
The accumulation of malpractices in officialdom cannot be eliminated in a day, but someone must do it. If everyone is holding back, then there is really no hope.
What's more, this contradiction is all directed at the eunuch. The officials of the Ming Dynasty may not say it, but they despise the eunuchs in their bones.
Zhu Jun did not ask Zhejiang officials to join him in jointly impeaching Sun Qing, as long as they did not hinder themselves.
said that Zhu Kun changed his official uniform and sat down, and passed on the bitter lord to the court.
After a while, the three bitter masters were brought to the hall and bowed to Zhu Xuan.
They are just ordinary weavers, machine owners, and machine makers, and the biggest "official" they have ever seen on weekdays is the supervisor of the weaving yamen.
"The people in the hall should raise their heads."
Zhu Kun gave an order, and the three bitter masters raised their heads. I saw that their faces were more or less bloodstained by whipping, which was very terrifying.
"You're the one who sued the Admiral Weaving Eunuch Sun Qing?"
"Back to the eldest lord, we are suing that old gelding."
An older weaver boldly said: "Early this morning, the four of us brothers, together with other weavers and machine owners, came to the weaving yamen to petition for the release of Chen Yuanwai, who had been unjustly imprisoned. Chen Yuanwai is a benevolent person and never owes everyone a monthly payment. During the New Year's holidays, he would also order people to distribute some dried fish and dried meat to everyone. How could such a well-meaning person embezzle? The reason why everyone can't hand over the silk this year is not because Chen Yuanwai swallowed the silver money allocated by the imperial court, but because there is a trouble in Zhejiang, and silkworm farmers have no heart to raise silkworms. Where does this silkworm come from? How can silk be woven without silk? The old eunuch didn't understand such a simple truth, and we just petitioned outside the yamen to tell him this truth. Who knew that this guy didn't listen at all, and ordered his evil servants to hurt people. My third brother was beaten to death. Ask the master to call the shots for the grass people. ”
The other two also wept and kowtowed: "Please ask the lord to call the shots for us." ”
Zhu Kun was already furious when he heard this.
This Sun Qing first framed Chen Yuanwai for corruption, and then instructed the evil servants to commit murder on the street in broad daylight. is so unscrupulous and majestic, but it has a bit of the shadow of the Eight Tigers of the previous dynasty.
It's a pity that it is no longer the Zhengde Dynasty where eunuchs are in charge and Qingliu is excluded.
At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he saw the shortcomings of eunuch chaos, and carried out a large number of layoffs of eunuchs in various places. Although positions such as the Weaving Eunuch of Hangzhou were retained, their powers were greatly reduced.
Now Sun Qing can't recognize the situation clearly, not only will he not be a man with his tail between his legs, but he will also frame Zhongliang Cao and ignore people's lives, which is really self-defeating.
"Where is the body of the deceased?"
"If you go back to the eldest master, my third brother's body is wrapped in a straw mat outside the hall......"
Zhu Su immediately issued an order and ordered him to go and inspect.
While waiting, he asked for some more details, and the clerk on the side wrote them down one by one.
After the inspection was completed and the results were reported to him, Zhu Kun already had a plan in his heart.
"Don't worry. Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Benfu will make decisions for you. ”
After receiving Zhu Kun's assurance, the three weavers thanked Zhu Kun one after another.
"Thank you Lord Qingtian, thank you Lord Qingtian."
If the offender is an ordinary Zhejiang official, he can directly go to the court for impeachment. If the official involved is below the fifth grade, he can even directly order someone to take it down.
But a eunuch like Sun Qing is a little troublesome.
In the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch system and the civil official system were completely independent. Although there may be a slight crossover between the two in daily life, in essence, the well water does not interfere with the river water.
In other words, although Zhu Su can impeach Sun Qing, he has no power to adjudicate, and at most he can only restrict Sun Qing's freedom. Before the Son of Heaven saw that Song Shu had sent down the holy decree, he had no right to dispose of Sun Qing.
Even if Sun Qing's reputation is extremely bad, even if Sun Qing has aroused public resentment.
I have to say that this is a somewhat sad thing. Moreover, before the recital he played is seen by the saint, it will definitely be drafted by the cabinet and approved by the celebrant and the celebrant of ceremonies.
If this Sun Qing is someone in the inner court, it is also a question whether the celebrant will express his position.
But he didn't want to have any more of them.
When the new official took office, everyone was staring at him. The so-called upward and downward effect, if he Zhu Kun behaves sleekly and sophisticated, then officials will definitely rush to follow suit, and Zhejiang officialdom will become a miasma. Only if he is upright and keeps the bottom line, can the officials below do something practical.
At present, the situation in the southeast is grim, and pirates are raging in turn. If Zhejiang officialdom can't be united, how can it be possible to sweep away the crowd?
Therefore, Zhu Kun must be ruthless to eliminate a cancer like Sun Qing, not only for the people of Zhejiang, but also for civil and military officials.
Black is black, and white is white.

......
Chen's house.
Not long after Xu Yan returned, his grandfather Chen Han was sent back by the prefect's yamen.
Xu Yan said in his heart that this must have been Zhu Kun's words, otherwise it would be impossible for this sleek Ma Governor to let people go so happily.
Either way, it's a good thing that my grandfather can come back.
When Chen Zongzhi heard that his father was back, he cried excitedly.
Seeing that his father had lost a lot of weight, he blamed himself even more.
"It's all the sons who are useless, watching their fathers suffer in prison. If it weren't for Brother Qiu'er who went to find Lord Futai, I'm afraid my father would still be in prison. ”
Old Man Chen whitened Chen Zong's eyes and said, "What are you crying about, I'm not dead yet." ”
Chen Zongzhi hurriedly rubbed his eyes.
Chen Han then turned to Xu Yan and looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Qiu has grown so tall... It's good to be able to talk to the governor. ”
Xu Yan hurriedly said: "Grandpa has won the award." ”
Xu Huaiyuan said with a smile on the side: "Old Taishan Ji people have their own natural appearance, and after this incident, it will be determined whether it is extremely Tailai." ”
