Since the incident of Tumubao, the civil official group began to rise, and from the beginning of the Chenghua period, the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were proud of the rumors and deeds, and took the impeachment of the king and the officials as their ambitions.

Zhu Houzhao now has to manage these imperial histories, at least he can't let these imperial histories rely on their own power to supervise hundreds of officials and spread rumors, so that the non-civilian system of Dongchang to manage the imperial history is undoubtedly the best way to check and balance, just to achieve a balanced situation in which the Metropolitan Procuratorate manages hundreds of officials, and the East Factory manages the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and the emperor manages the East Factory.

Ma Yongcheng, the eunuch of Dongchang, was very willing to take care of the Imperial Procuratorate for Emperor Zhu Hou, after all, he has also been impeached a lot by the imperial historians over the years, what mining for the people's interests, plundering people and beating scholars, etc., although His Majesty the Emperor did not dismiss himself because of the impeachment of himself by the imperial history, but also because some things were done excessively, the emperor criticized and fined the court staff.

Therefore, when His Majesty the Emperor ordered Dongchang to set up a discipline inspection department to control the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, Ma Yongcheng set up a discipline inspection department overnight.

In recent years, newspapers have become popular, and he has also developed the habit of reading newspapers to discuss politics, but he saw that the General Administration Department issued an order to the governors of each province to elect councillors to prepare for next year's parliamentary meeting.

For a while, Xue Fengming couldn't help but feel stunned, thinking about why the imperial court suddenly talked about the matter of discussing politics, what were the councilors and the council, and when did the General Administration Department start to give orders to the governors of various provinces.

Xue Fengming could only look at it carefully, and after reading it, he couldn't help but get emotional, and slapped the newspaper on the table: "How can this be true!" Outrageous! Who put forward the idea that the non-ruling yamen will no longer submit it to the cabinet, and it can only be discussed once in five years, that is to say, it takes five years to speak about the mistakes of the government and government, which is blocking the way of speech! If this continues, the words of loyalty and uprightness can no longer reach the front of the emperor, and the government will not always be controlled by the ministers! The cabinet ministers and the general secretary are also mistaken for the country! ”

After Xue Fengming finished speaking emotionally, he thought of such a thing again, a while ago, the seven things that the head of the household department wore a crown and risked death to admonish, I am afraid that it will also sink into the sea, and the imperial court will not change its policy at all.

"It seems that the impeachment of Zhang Xuan is not enough, the real traitor is still behind it! The first to bear the brunt is him Wang Hua! ”

When Xue Fengming was talking, the discipline inspection department of the East Factory also happened to come over, and the officers and soldiers on duty in the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not dare to stop them when they saw that it was someone from the East Factory, and they hurriedly came to report that it was someone from the East Factory.

Xue Fengming, who happened to be criticizing current affairs in the front hall, heard that the people from Dongchang were coming, and he couldn't help but sit back in his chair: "What are the people from Dongchang going to do, are they coming to get people?" Go and let the people from the East Factory wait in the front hall, I'll go, I'll go to the head of the courtyard. ”

Xue Fengming said that the head of the courtyard is the Hang Huai who is in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Procuratorate, although Xue Fengming is dissatisfied with the government and even sends a few complaints to impeach the Shangguan, but when he really encounters Dongchang, he is also a little afraid, after all, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are still in the name of stealing the family and exterminating the clan, at this time, he does not dare to face the Dongchang alone, so he can only go to the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to come forward.

Zuodu Yushi Hanghuai heard that it was from Dongchang who came, and he also knew that the matter was not small, so he had to bring a group of imperial historians to the front hall, and asked the people of Dongchang with courage: "I don't know why you came to the hospital?" ”

"Hang Zhangyuan doesn't need to panic, the next official is Dongchang Yanjing, this time I came here for only two things, the first thing is to follow the order from above to arrest and supervise Shi Xue Fengming, Xue Fengming is suspected of slandering courtiers and needs to be dealt with!

Xue Fengming, who supervised the imperial history, is a subordinate of your Imperial Procuratorate, you need to make a written inspection and re-explain Xue Fengming's performance to His Majesty the Emperor, remember to submit it to the cabinet when the time comes, and at the same time you have the right to know and consult about our arrest of Xue Fengming, what questions do you have now, you can continue to ask? ”

Yan Jing, an official of the Discipline Inspection Department of the East Factory, waved his hand after speaking: "Take people!" ”

So, two Ti Qi, dressed in a tow and with a wooden sign of "Dongchang Discipline Inspection Division" hanging on their waists, walked over, and one of them asked: "Who is Xue Fengming!" ”

Xue Fengming couldn't help but shudder, and before he could decide whether to take the initiative to admit it or pretend to be stupid and hide behind, another rider noticed his strangeness and looked at him: "Come out, Xue Yushi!" ”

Xue Fengming took a long breath, and saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to grit his teeth and stand up: "What do you Dongchang people want to do?!" The impeachment of corrupt officials is the responsibility of the imperial history, Xue is just impeaching a powerful minister, what crime has he committed! ”

The people from the East Factory did not answer Xue Fengming, and the two East Factory Tiqi only detained him.

Xue Fengming was a little anxious when he saw this, and he didn't know when he had the courage, so he struggled: "Let go of this official, this official is a minister of the imperial court, you dog thieves, you can't arrest this official for no reason!" ”

At the same time, Xue Fengming also shouted at Hanghuai, the imperial historian of the left capital: "The head of the courtyard, you can't let the people of Dongchang come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take people so blatantly, I am the official of the imperial court, how can I be bullied by Dongchang so much!" ”

"Yan Shangshang, and slowly, this official dares to ask, but there is evidence that Xue Fengming, the superintendent of the imperial history, slandered the courtiers, otherwise Dongchang is so indiscriminately taking people, it is indeed a little unreasonable, and His Majesty said when clarifying the responsibilities of each ministry that the case can only be filed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you Dongchang only have the responsibility of inspection!"

Zuodu Yushi Hanghuai also had to say a few words at this time, after all, he had to maintain the authority of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"It is a fact that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has the power to file a case, but we are not arresting Xue Fengming, the Imperial Inspectorate, to punish him, this is the second thing I want to tell you, Your Majesty issued an order to establish the Dongchang Discipline Inspection Division, which is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials in the world, mainly the officials of your Metropolitan Procuratorate;

However, we only inspect and arrest and do not file a case, and it is the business of your Metropolitan Procuratorate to file a case, and we are officials who violate the will of the law in Shuanggui, and once the facts of their crimes are clarified, they will be returned to your Metropolitan Procuratorate for handling;

Xue Fengming is now an official under our shuanggui, and we need him to explain his problems in the prescribed place and in the prescribed place, so as to prevent collusion, delay, and early escape. ”

As he spoke, Yan Jing from Dongchang pointed to a hugging house and ordered: "This is it, nail all the windows of this room with wooden boards, so that no light can enter, nail thick quilts to the walls around it, remove all furnishings, and leave only a chair!" ”

As a result, the people in the East Factory quickly got busy.

After a clang, a deep, dark hut appeared in the Metropolitan Courtyard.

Yan Jing of the East Factory instructed again: "Hang the sign of our East Factory Discipline Inspection Department outside the house, and we will be stationed here in the future to supervise hundreds of officials, especially the Metropolitan Procuratorate; Hang Zhangyuan and all the imperial historians, the lower officials hope that you will be loyal to Your Majesty, abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, enforce the law impartially, and do not show favoritism, so that the lower officials do not have to arrest you to explain the problem! ”

"Supervising Yushi Xue Fengming, now that you have been shuanggui, I hope you will cooperate!"

Yan Jing said that he dragged Xue Fengming into the small black room and was tied to a chair, and then Yan Jing brought a chair in, closed the door, and immediately lit only a candle, but the whole room still seemed very dark, and the darkness made Xue Fengming always feel that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.

And at this time, a voice with a cold voice suddenly sounded opposite the faint candlelight: "Xue Yushi, next, I hope you can explain honestly!" Don't give this official a stinky shelf for your Imperial History! ””
