Take Fujian Road, where Wang Kunshan is located, for example, there are a total of ten imperial historians. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to go to Fujian to patrol the press, so the inspector of the imperial history still stays in the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate most of the time.

This is very different from the imperial history of the capital and the deputy imperial envoy. The latter will also serve as a governor, and the governor will patrol the area.

"Master Xie, this is the official office of your office."

Xie Shen nodded and replied lightly, and followed Wang Lun into the official office.

This office was very large, and it could accommodate thirty or forty people.

Most of the officials inside were immersed in reading official documents, hoping to pick out some mistakes and spray them hard to make a name for themselves.

Wang Lun coughed and said, "The new Lord Shi Xie has arrived, and you have not come to see him." ”

Xie Shen was a little helpless, these four-grade officials are really not high in the capital where high-ranking officials are everywhere.

However, the current situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is somewhat special. Zhengyin is not in the imperial history, and the highest is Zhang Qian, the deputy imperial envoy. Zhang Qian, Zhang Yushi, the biggest one seems to be Xie Shen.

Therefore, Xie Shen actually has a bit of the meaning of the second-in-command, although this second-in-command has just come to office today, but it is also the second-in-command.

Under the greeting of the enthusiastic Wang Yushi, the colleagues in the official office greeted Xie Shen one after another.

Xie Shen also nodded slightly, and his neck was already sore by the end.

This is much more damn tiring than being a prefect.

When the prefect only needs to sit at the front of the government and listen to the officials report on their work, there is no need to think about the wording at all.

But the Metropolitan Procuratorate is different.

Although the subordinates of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also subordinates, none of them have backgrounds and cannot be easily provoked.

Even if you don't have a background, maybe you're still an iron-headed person, and you will be killed if you don't agree with each other.

At this time, you still can't have a seizure, and if you have a seizure, you don't have a stomach, and you can't tolerate people.

Once the reputation is stinky, it is almost impossible to go further in the career.

In contrast, although it is not easy for a subordinate to defy his boss, he will have a reputation for not being afraid of the powerful, which is beneficial in the long run.

Therefore, the Jingshi, especially the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, are the coolest. Scolding the emperor can brush up on prestige, and confronting the boss can also brush up on prestige. It's a big deal to pat your ass and return to your hometown in the end, and you can also gain a good reputation.

Xie Shen's boss is really bitter.

Finally, after greeting his subordinates and colleagues, he could sit down and take a sip of tea, and a little eunuch came to announce the decree.

Xie Shen thought that it had nothing to do with him, but who knew that the name was sent to the new right man Yushi.

Xie Shen wanted to scold his mother.

Damn, don't bring such a playful person.

Can't you let people take a break?

In desperation, Xie Shen had to kneel to accept the holy decree.

The little eunuch crackled and recited it, and said very bluntly: "Lord Xie, please follow our family into the palace to face the saint." ”

Xie Shen said in his heart that this little eunuch should be the first time to go out of the palace to announce the decree, and he was so nervous.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Xie Shen saluted the little eunuch, and he didn't care about tidying up his appearance and went out.

The big and small imperial histories in the office were all dumbfounded.

This is the Imperial Palace, Lord Xie, and the Holy Lady Tailong, right?

......

......

Without mentioning the gossip here, Xie Shen followed the little eunuch into the palace and went straight to the Wenhua Palace.

The reason why I went to the Wenhua Hall instead of the Qianqing Palace was because the emperor listened to the Japanese lecture in the Wenhua Hall today.

As soon as Xie Shen arrived in front of the Wenhua Palace, he saw several pavilion elders pacing from the palace gate with their long sleeves, thinking about how to phrase them.

If you are too enthusiastic, you will be regarded as an inflammatory. It's not okay to be too indifferent, and it will be regarded as arrogance.

Xie Shen was thinking to himself, Liu Jian had already walked to Xie Shen's side, and said approvingly: "Practice, the Shanxi trip has experienced a lot, and the old man is optimistic about you." ”

Eh, Xie Shen was completely stunned.

He and Liu Jian are not familiar with each other, right? Why did Liu Jian act like an acquaintance and open his mouth to be optimistic about him?

"The boss praised it falsely, and the lower officials only want to be loyal to the country."

Finally coping with Liu Jian, Li Dongyang walked to Xie Shen's side again and patted him on the shoulder: "If the juniors seem to be cautious, then there will be successors to the Ming court." ”

Fortunately, Xu Ge Lao and Xie Qian didn't do it, otherwise Xie Shen would really suspect that this was planned in advance and wanted to trick him.

After several pavilion elders left the Wenhua Palace, Xie Shen was led to His Majesty Dan to wait.

Not long after the little eunuch went to reply to the decree, he turned back and said to Xie Shen: "Lord Xie, Your Majesty has announced your visit." ”

Xie Shen nodded, and followed the little eunuch into the main hall of the Wenhua Palace.

He had already met Hongji Tianzi a few times, so he was not very nervous this time.

I just felt that it was strange for Emperor Hongzhi to suddenly summon him.

But he didn't dare to ask this little eunuch, if the messenger was replaced by Gu Dayong, he could try it.

The Wenhua Hall is not like the halls of the harem, it is for the Son of Heaven to listen to the Japanese lecture and the Prince of the East Palace to read.

Therefore, the layout is not a standard apse layout.

After Xie Shen bypassed the screen, he saw Da Mingzi sitting on the side of the kang with his eyes closed.

Xie Shen stepped forward, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar to perform the courtier's courtesy.

"The minister's right and the capital of the imperial history Xie Shen to meet Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes and smiled: "Xie Qing is here." ”

For this son of heaven, Xie Shen is really a little unpredictable.

In terms of diligence and love for the people, Emperor Hongzhi really didn't have to choose, and he was a model of Ming Jun and Benevolent Jun. In addition, she is not a good woman, and it is not unreasonable to be regarded as the master of Zhongxing.

But at the same time, Emperor Hongzhi and a traitor like Li Guang are a big stain.

It can only be said that no one is perfect, and Emperor Hongzhi has done his limit.

"I don't know what His Majesty summoned Weichen to order."

Every word of the answer to the Son of Heaven must be carefully considered, just like playing chess.

It is necessary to think not only about the next step, but also about the three or five steps later.

That's why it's a chore. Many elders and the Son of Heaven will sweat after answering each other.

"You are the prefect of Lu'an this time, and you have made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and I am very relieved." After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi's face tightened and said, "You are complaining about Hou Baishui's matter, right?" ”

Xie Shen hurriedly said, "Weichen doesn't dare. ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "How can you be like those old guys, don't dare to take a mouthful, I thought you would be different." Let's put it another way, I'm tired of hearing it. ”

Xie Shen was helpless in his heart, so he had to say: "The minister doesn't understand why His Majesty doesn't punish the traitors. ”

"Xie Qing is still weird."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "The traitor in your mouth is Hu Zhan." ”

Xie Shen was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"Hu Zan is greedy for money, I know, but do you know that most of his greed goes to the treasury?"

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Daming is like a ship, it needs to be repaired at any time, otherwise there is a danger of capsizing." If you want to mend it, there is no money, but where does the money come from? ”

This sentence is very meaningful.

The low tax of the Ming Dynasty is actually a trap for itself, and if it can't collect taxes, the treasury will be empty.
