At first, the magnates didn't care, but now they found that Tang Yin was a sharp knife in His Majesty's hand, which could stab at any place they wanted.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not completely tear his face to them, proving that there is still room for things to turn around.

The grandfather, the marquis, the waiter, and the imperial historians came to the Shuntian Mansion with the congratulatory money sent by the former Fu Yin, asking to see Tang Yin.

Tang Fu Yin also set up a stand and told them to line up.

After the magnates paid the "ransom", Tang Yin asked the officials to bring those evil servants out of the prison and asked the magnates to take them back.

At this point, the predecessor left all the deficits to fill up, and the treasury was refilled.

......

......

Once you have established your prestige, the rest will be much easier.

At least in the Suncheon Mansion, all the officials admired the new palace Yin.

dared to fight with the entire elite class of the Beijing Division, and finally won a big victory and asked the magnates to obediently return the money, this ability and courage are worth their following.

In addition, the businessmen and people who were waiting and watching also had a good impression of Xinfu Yin.

It's rare that Jingshi has a Qingtian master, does this mean that they don't have to break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs if they have grievances in the future?

This question was quickly answered.

The whistle-blowing box set up by the imperial court was officially erected outside the Shuntian Mansion to accept the people's letters and reports.

It doesn't matter how big a person you are reporting, as long as you submit a letter to Suncheonfu Yin, the letter will be delivered to the cabinet, and the cabinet scholar will deliver it to the imperial court.

In this way, the people of Shengdou also have a channel to communicate with the Son of Heaven, although this channel has made some twists and turns, but fortunately, it can be put on the line.

This was unthinkable in the previous dynasty.

Although Emperor Hongzhi is also a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, he is extremely traditional and conservative. He is reluctant to change many of the core issues, let alone set up a whistleblower box for ordinary people to impeach the minister.

Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the establishment of the whistleblower box has greatly increased the workload of the governor Yin Tangyin.

Because of his personal commitment, he spends a lot of time sorting out the report letters every day.

It's not an easy job.

The content of the report is varied, and the people who report it are also different.

To distinguish the priorities, but also to classify and put together, all of them were done, Tang Yin was sweating profusely.

He didn't worry about leaving things to the little officials under him to do. In case these petty officials are bribed by those powerful people and take away the report letter, it will be troublesome.

In desperation, Tang Yin had to suffer a little, and waited until he handed in the first batch of report letters, and then complained to Xie Shen and asked for some reliable deputies.

It took three days for Tang Fuyin to gather the first batch of whistleblower letters and bring them to the cabinet together.

At this time, the three giants of the cabinet happened to be there, and Li Dongyang saw Tang Yin carrying a big bag, and said in shock: "What is this that Tang Mansion Yin is backing?" ”

Tang Yin put down his pocket and replied breathlessly, "Is there ...... These are all the letters of accusation that people have thrown into the report box these days. ”

Hearing this, the three giants of the cabinet all took a deep breath.

That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

A pocket full of report letters is enough to see how dissatisfied the people are with the magnates of Jingshi.

It's just that there was no channel to complain about grievances before, and the people could only swallow their anger when they were oppressed and wronged.

Now, the imperial court has set up a whistleblower box, and the people have released their pent-up emotions for a long time.

"This... So many report letters were sorted and collected by Bohu alone? ”

Xie Shen saw Tang Yin's haggard face, and then contacted his pair of dark circles, so he asked.

It's good that Xie Shen didn't mention it, but as soon as Xie Shen mentioned Tang Yin, he felt extremely aggrieved and said, "Who said it wasn't." I've been doing this for three days in a row, and I've never been so tired. This time I came to the cabinet to ask Siming for some trustworthy deputies, otherwise I will do all the work, and the whole person will collapse. ”

Xie Shen couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at you, you are also the master of the third grade, how can you be the same as having no subordinates?" Did the scribes eat dry food? ”

Hearing this, Tang Yin shook his head again and again and said, "Them? They can't. Can you trust Siming? ”

Xie Shen said angrily: "What can be trusted, anyway, you still have to look at it, who dares to make a mistake?" ”

"I'm not afraid that they will just take away the report letter."

Tang Yin spread his hands very helplessly.

"That's just as well."

Xie Shen nodded and said, "But I can only match you with some scribes, so you can be absolutely at ease with these people?" ”

"It's better than in the Shuntian Mansion. They are seconded directly from the Cabinet, have no stakes, and are not afraid of those who are involved. ”

Gu Dingchen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "It is said that the powerful people of the Beijing Division are domineering, but Gu Mou didn't expect them to be domineering to such an extent. Our cabinet will remove the grievances from them and make decisions for the oppressed people. ”

"Ahem."

Li Dongyang coughed, and said while brushing his beard: "This matter is discussed by Siming and Jiuhe, and the old man will not interfere." ”

Xie Shen was puzzled: "What does Xiya Gong mean by this?" ”

Li Dongyang said with embarrassment: "I'm afraid that the old man will be involved in this report letter." ”

All three were shocked.

In their impression, Li Dongyang is a model among civil officials, how can anyone report him?

Li Dongyang explained: "The old man has behaved well all his life, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. However, the old man's son-in-law is too domineering, and the old man is not less impeached by the imperial history on weekdays. This time it was replaced by a report by the people, and naturally it was impossible to escape. ”

Xie Shen, that waterfall sweat. Unexpectedly, an old fritter like Li Dongyang could pick a son-in-law and walk away, so he actually picked a gentleman.

Gu Dingchen nodded and said, "Xiya Gong is trying to avoid suspicion." I'll leave this matter to me and Siming, and I won't let you down. ”

Regarding Li Dongyang's choice, Xie Shen is understandable.

At Li Xiya's age, the official voice is the most important.

Li Dongyang cherished feathers all his life, and would never do favoritism at an age close to Zhishi.

If he doesn't interfere in this matter, he is telling the officials that the old man is not a favoritism. It's good for you to come to the old man and son-in-law, and Hugh is going to pour dirty water on the old man.

"That being the case, Xiya Gong should also relax. Xie believes that Ling's son-in-law will not do anything hurtful. ”

Xie Shen comforted.

"I hope so." Li Dongyang shook his head helplessly and said, "If he really violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the old man will not cover it." The old man will be the first to ask His Majesty to punish him severely. ”

At this moment, Tang Yin on the side really understood how deep the water in the officialdom of the Beijing Division was.

Even the first assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, a scholar of Huagai Temple, may be involved.

......

......

After further screening by Gu Dingchen and Xie Shen, the first batch of report letters were sent to Emperor Zhengde.

This batch of reports and reports are all princes and nobles, most of them are encroaching on acres of land, and the nature of the rampant market is very bad.

Zhu Hou was furious after taking care of the song, and immediately issued an edict to reprimand the prince involved, and ordered him to immediately return the encroached land, and think about it behind closed doors for a month, and there must be no more rampant and domineering behavior, otherwise he will be severely punished.

Princes and nobles are no more dependent on the snort of the Son of Heaven than civil officials.

The Son of Heaven's personal preferences and dislikes had a great influence on them, and almost no one dared to go against the Son of Heaven.

This is also the reason why Xie Shen chose to deliver this batch of report letters to the Imperial Palace.

Let the Son of Heaven show an attitude first, let the report be shocked, and give a warning to future generations. This will work very well.

What would happen if the prince was replaced by a civil official? I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be incompletely scolded by civil officials for various reasons.

Civil officials are such a strange group, obviously their problem, but they are able to speak righteously without any shame.

And if you take Wang Gong's knife first, it can have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

When the civil officials see the resoluteness of the Son of Heaven's attitude, they will at least be jealous, and their behavior will be much more restrained.

In fact, such a thing as a whistleblower letter is a kind of public opinion supervision.

The top-down surveillance model has proven to have many drawbacks. The biggest problem is that everyone is in the civil service system, and naturally officials protect each other. As long as you don't touch the key points, it's over to fool around.

This is also human nature.

And if we want to change this model, we must break the routine and use public opinion to supervise.

This is the equivalent of a bottom-up supervision model.

Ordinary people have the most say in how officials and princes behave.

If you are oppressed, it is only natural to write a report letter to expose the evil deeds of the princes and magnates.

Of course, there are obvious problems with this bottom-up supervision model.

That is, it is easy to be framed, populism.

Whether it is false accusation or populism, it is no less harmful than corruption.

The former will disrupt the normal order of officialdom and put everyone in danger at the expense of the court.

The latter is more harmful, and will even shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

This requires the Cabinet to grasp the degree.

To put it simply, it's about screening which whistleblowing letters are genuine and which are fictitious.

Whistleblowing letters are also used as a means to aggressively attack political opponents within the civilian bureaucracy, which if left unchecked, is likely to lead to large-scale infighting.

This is even more terrifying than going into battle shirtless and staging an all-out martial arts.

After all, killing people with their mouths is what civilian officials are best at.

Pressing these aside for the time being, it is said that Tang Yin was in full swing in Shuntian Mansion, but he was poured a basin of cold water when he was most energetic.

Thirty officials, including the head of the household department, the left deputy imperial envoy, the Ministry of Rites Langzhong, and the Henan Provincial Supervisor Imperial History, jointly impeached Tang Yin for being good at it.

The word "dedicated" is extremely ingenious, and it is also a unique crime of the feudal dynasty.

In the face of supreme imperial power, the courtier is just a symbol.

And if this symbol cannot recognize its own status, and abuses its power to touch the bottom line of the ruler, it will be reprimanded for being arbitrary.

The Son of Heaven has given you the power that you can exercise. You can't exercise it without the Son of Heaven giving you power.

Once it is exercised, it is good at it.

To put it bluntly, this is a matter of political correctness. Generally, the old fritters in officialdom will not make the mistake of being good at it, but Tang Yin is a newcomer, and it is understandable to make mistakes.

But I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven will not be happy in his heart.

Although he trusted Tang Yin, it was because he trusted Xie Shen, and he trusted the people recommended by Xie Shen.

After all, there is a layer of relationship between them.

If someone impeached Xie Shen for being a dictator, Zhu Houzhao would definitely not believe it, and would reprimand those officials who impeached Xie Shen.

But it was Tang Yin who was impeached by the officials, which is difficult to say.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhu Houzhao is still very afraid that officials will be arbitrary.

Because this is tantamount to a provocation to the majesty of the imperial power, which he cannot accept.

The fact that so many officials jointly signed a letter to impeach Tang Yin shows that it is not groundless.

Thinking of Tang Yin's style recently, Zhu Houzhao is even more suspicious that it is true.

The impeachment note wrote that Tang Yin, as the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, did not have the power to interrogate high-ranking officials, but he repeatedly ordered the officials to go to the Beijing official mansion and ordered them to go to the court for questioning. His attitude is arrogant and arrogant, and no one is in sight.

It has to be said that the entry point chosen by these officials is very appropriate.

Although Suncheon Mansion Yin is a third-rank official, he does not have the power to interrogate high-ranking officials. Not to mention interrogation, not even interrogation.

The only institution with this power, apart from the factory guard, is Dali Temple. The latter can only be interrogated after a high-ranking official has committed an important case.

After all, Tang Yin was a newcomer, and he still couldn't understand the unspoken rules in the officialdom very well, so he made this kind of low-level mistake, and even directly called the official to go to the mansion of a high-ranking official and ordered him to go to the mansion for questioning.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao would not believe the words of one side, and immediately ordered someone to announce that Tang Yin would enter the palace to face the saint.

Tang Yin came to the leopard room in a hurry, and Zhu Houzhao asked about it directly.

Tang Fuyin admitted without hesitation, and Zhu Houzhao scolded him for scolding his head and face.

Tang Yin was confused, and said in his heart what mistake he had made, why was the Son of Heaven so angry?

Seeing Tang Yin's dazed face, Zhu Houzhao felt even more angry.

"Okay, Mr. Xie really recommended a good courtier to me. Tang Yin, let me ask you, who told you to order the Sanpin Grand Master to go to Shuntian Mansion for interrogation? ”

Tang Yin replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is also an emergency action. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Zhu Houzhao roared: "Who told you to act in an emergency?" I just put the report box in front of Shuntian Mansion, do you think you are a Qincha? Even the Chin Cha has to be evaluated, but you wantonly play cards, do you take me seriously! ”

Tang Yin shuddered, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister is terrified." The minister did not have the slightest intention of being specialized. It's just that there are some things that don't ask these officials involved to go to Shuntianfu for questioning, and they can't ask why. ”

"I can't ask if there is a factory guard, there is a Dali Temple. What are you trying to show? I really don't have a sense of rules at all! ”

Zhu Houzhao angrily flicked his sleeves and turned his back.

Of course, he knew that Tang Yin's ticket to interrogate high-ranking officials was not for the sake of prestige, but this act itself was a very serious mistake.

If Xie Shen is replaced, he can still accept it, after all, Xie Shen is the second assistant of the dynasty, and his status can be suppressed there.

And Tang Yin is just a newcomer to the officialdom who has just been promoted to the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, isn't this tantamount to taking the initiative to show his shortcomings and calling for impeachment.

"Do you know that dozens of officials have jointly impeached you for being a tyrant? What do you tell me to do, and how do you call the second assistant to deal with yourself? ”
