Chapter Seventy-Eight: Flying on the Branches and Becoming a Phoenix
By April, the case was almost settled.
Although there are many implications and it is quite troublesome to investigate and collect evidence, the final punishment of officials is not much.
One squire of the Ministry of Rites, two counselors of the Imperial Examination Division, five foreign langs, those who should be beheaded and those who should be exiled.
There are also some people who have committed minor crimes and have a good attitude of admitting their guilt, so they will be fined.
Moreover, the two principals of the Criminal Department were also implicated and sentenced to confiscate the army.
According to the example of previous years, this year's sentence is not considered heavy, but the scope is broader.
Anyone who is involved in it must be punished, and the officials are inevitably complaining.
Wang Boqin was also busy at home several times this month, and often lived in the office of the Criminal Department.
Looking at the officials who came and went to pay the fines, he thought, "These people who don't have the eyesight to see, Brother Kong can be regarded as raising his noble hand this time, otherwise these people who pay the fines will have to go to the board." ”
I don't know which emperor invented the court staff in the previous dynasty, the pain is still second, and he was stripped of his pants and beaten in front of everyone, which is really swept away.
Fortunately, there are almost no women in the court, which can reduce some embarrassment.
Otherwise, I really won't be able to raise my head in the future, and I won't be able to walk in the court.
This time, the treatment is even lighter for everyone.
Just imagine, the most important subject exam in a country, and it is the first subject exam since Emperor Xuande succeeded to the throne, you can sell exam questions privately.
It simply made the emperor lose face and humiliate the court.
For such a person, it is really light to cut off his head.
If you catch up with the late stage of Emperor Weilie, this will definitely be connected to the nine clans.
The emperor didn't mean to set up a big prison, but he saw that the champion was dealing with it well, so he nodded, and he turned over this article.
The ups and downs of officialdom are all normal things.
But the people in the middle of it are willing to know themselves.
Perhaps, it is not uncommon for people who are still talking in the court today to become a prisoner tomorrow, or even beheaded.
This makes those who are in the officialdom more and more confused.
God knows, how long it will last, it's better to have more fun and have fun.
Those officials who were fined, although they felt sorry for their money, thought that they had not been imprisoned, and it was a great grace of heaven.
They found that the new cousin was very different.
Wang Boqin has a friendly attitude towards those colleagues who come to pay the fines, and he is not as numb as the officials who have accumulated over the years.
Before I came to pay a fine, I was also yelled at five and six times, pointed to the east and west, and was commanded to run around.
Wang Boqin wrote the process, posted it in front of the case, and explained it carefully.
In contrast, everyone immediately had a good impression of this new cousin.
Wang Boqin always remembered that the mountain chief once said to him: "Being an official is also a science, and the difference between high and low is also cloud and mud." ”
He thought, ups and downs, who knows that these officials who are fined today will not climb up tomorrow?
It's better to be more careful and make more good karma.
The case was disposed of, and Kong Youde was also considered to have handed over an errand, but in the same year, they were all assigned new positions, but he was not yet settled.
Without the emperor's approval, the officials of the Ministry of Officials were reluctant to come forward this time.
Yao Shangshu asked the officials below to come up with an opinion, but they shirked it one by one, saying that since the emperor personally promoted it, it must be awarded to the American officials, and he would never deal with it according to the old practice.
Everyone else was also peeking and watching, not knowing what the emperor was arranging.
Some people whispered, saying that since Kong Zhuangyuan was good at learning, it was better to continue to serve in the Hanlin Academy and promote his position.
Some people also said that Kong Zhuangyuan went to Taixue is also a good errand.
Some people also said that since Kong Zhuangyuan is so neat in trying the case, it is also feasible to give a waiter from the Criminal Department.
But after a long time, he still didn't accept his fate.
Kong Youde also went to the Hanlin Academy every day to continue to do his work as a bookkeeper.
If you have worked together, you can't help but talk about cool words, what if Kong and Germany are the champions?
How many people have been offended by the trial of that fraud case, and it would be good if the officials were reinstated.
The emperor pondered for a long time, but he couldn't decide what position to give this champion, so he went to discuss with Concubine Yun.
"Hengying, look at this hole and virtue, how can you place it well?"
"I see that Your Majesty also has a time when he is blind, and he told me before that Kong Youde is a reckless character, and let him deal with the fraud in the imperial examination, it will inevitably be an earthquake in the officialdom.
Who knew that after the verdict of this case, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and it was handled properly.
I really don't know whose guidance I have, so obedient. ”
"Yes, it's really a person who can't be good-looking, that Zhou Yao, I see that he is beautiful, and I wanted to allow him to be a Langzhong of Yuefu.
Who knew that he resigned three times in a row and had to go to the military department to exercise.
The day before yesterday, I just agreed, and I tried his skills. ”
"I heard that this Zhou Yao has a nickname, called Flower Demon Langjun.
Is he going to use sorcery to lead his troops? Heng Ying couldn't hold her back and laughed out loud.
"There's such a thing, I want to know, is he involved in the Hualang Society?"
"Zhou Yao can also be regarded as the cadre of Hualang Society, let Qingchi tell you about his affairs, he knows best.
Let's take a look at the arrangement of Kong Zhuangyuan first. ”
"Why is it involved with Qingchi again, my chief manager is really a lot of ears and eyes."
"The eunuchs are the eyes and ears of the court, and with them, they can naturally share the worries of the monarch, and it is also their duty.
Your Majesty, if you want to be a powerful emperor, you must have enough understanding of your subordinates.
In my opinion, this Kong Youde, since he likes to pay attention to decency and rules so much, it is better to give him the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Let him take care of all the things that are not in accordance with the etiquette and law. ”
"Very good, very good. Let's see what waves he can make. ”
"A reader, when used well, is a banner;
If you don't use it well, it's a disaster.
This Kong Youde is smart and decisive, and I think he is a good candidate. ”
At the end of April, Kong Youde's appointment was officially announced, and he was directly promoted from the eighth rank to the second rank, which was an honor that the Hongyin Dynasty had never had.
Kong Youde was also grateful, and in addition to bowing three times and nine bows, he also wrote a thank you form and submitted it.
The students of Taixue were also very excited, thinking that the emperor really attached importance to scholars.
On the palace wall outside the Nine Immortals Gate, enthusiastic poems began to appear again.
Long poems and short poems praise the wise emperor and this vibrant era.
After a long period of peace, everyone's happy heart began to be exposed.
The northern and southern traders in Haojing City, although they were heavily taxed after the year, and the tax was increased by 20% compared with previous years, but they were still like clouds of customers, piles of goods, and they made a lot of money.
Those Maolong merchants, looking at such a grand scene, said that it was the most prosperous time of Emperor An Lie's later years, but it was nothing more than that.
It's even more lively now.
