Chapter 361: Something is wrong with Kaifeng Mansion
People who are stubborn in officialdom will always be particularly eye-catching.
Such as Wei Zheng in the past, and like Hai Rui in the future.
And now, there is also an iron neck Pei Benzhi of Chen Liuxian County.
People like this will not be liked by their colleagues most of the time, and their subordinates will only find the shining points in them after getting along for a long time.
And the king maintains a love-hate attitude towards such courtiers.
They are a sword.
A razor-sharp sword.
It can wipe out all the lawlessness and female gangsters, but the sword is double-edged, and occasionally it will cut the palm of the sword-wielder.
Zhu Yunxi's palm was pressed on the shoulder of Pei Benzhi, who was shackled but still kneeling on the ground.
His hand was not cut.
So, Zhu Yunxi bent down, stretched out his other hand to grab Pei Benzhi's arm, and began to exert force upward.
The eyes of the accompanying officials under the yamen moved slightly.
Pei Benzhi, on the other hand, had a more obvious reaction, his eyes kept flashing, and he opened his mouth several times but couldn't speak.
Then, he stood up tremblingly.
Bow to your subordinates, so far.
The accompanying officials standing behind Zhu Yunxi were all envious, wishing that they had put on two shackles and knelt below Pei Benzhi.
Pan Deshan is thoughtful.
If you want to govern the river, in addition to the support of the imperial court, you must also have the support of local officials and officials. After all, compared to the Yellow River, the imperial court is really beyond the reach of the whip, and it takes more than half a month and a month to go back and forth for one thing.
Pei Benzhi can be supported by his grandson, and the official position of this county order will probably be promoted by one liter in the near future.
So Pan Deshan looked at Pei Benzhi twice.
"Sinner, Your Highness!"
Pei Benzhi, who was helped up, choked in his throat for a long time, and finally said thank you with sincere emotion.
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently and turned his head to look at the accompanying officials under the yamen.
He waved his hand, "Go ahead and talk to this famous iron neck."
The accompanying officials were stimulated one after another today, and left one by one with vinegar water that could once again flood the land of Liufu.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Pei Benzhi: "Don't say anything about the criminal minister, follow the lonely into the ya, and talk about your Chenliu County."
Pei Benzhi's mind at this time was still filled with the complicated looks in the eyes of the accompanying officials who had just left.
Hearing the greeting of the imperial grandson, Pei Benzhi was stunned for a moment and turned his head, and saw that His Royal Highness the imperial grandson had already walked to the steps, he immediately lifted his robe, stretched out his feet and carefully scratched the ground left and right twice, and then tiptoed up the steps.
Back in the county office, Yutian had already cleaned up a tea room.
Looking at the original decorations on the left and right, you can see that this place was probably loved by Cao Zhisheng in the past.
Zhu Yunxi sat straight on the chair and looked up at Pei Benzhi who was standing in front of him.
"Hongwu eighteenth year, you are an outlier."
Zhu Yunxi's first sentence made Pei Ben's heart jump.
It's just that he quickly reacted again, and Pei Benzhi smiled silently: "The minister just doesn't know how to be an official."
….
Zhu Yunxi was silent, staring at this person who had been in the office for nearly ten years, but he had been stepping on the ground without an iron neck that moved his nest, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay if you don't know how to be an official, as long as you know how to do things for the people."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi raised his hand and motioned to Yutian who was waiting on the side to cook tea.
He beckoned to Pei Benzhi: "Sit down, you don't have to be subject to your rules here."
Pei Benzhi raised his head and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving you a seat."
Zhu Yunxi shook his head, and let Pei Benzhi continue the etiquette in his heart.
Wait until Pei Benzhi only sits down half of his ass.
Zhu Yun
Xi then said: "There are many people in Kaifeng Mansion, because you didn't have the approval of the imperial court, you cut down the people of the Chen family, and wrote a lot of impeachment recitals and sent them to Gu and Yingtian."
Pei Benzhi's legs strained slightly, and the half of the buttocks that fell on the stool were raised: "It's a disregard for the law of the country."
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and pressed his hand: "In troubled times, you should use heavy codes. Although the Ming Dynasty cannot be said to be a troubled era now, but the six mansions have been affected by disasters, and the people's hearts are unstable.
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi looked at Pei Benzhi faintly.
Said lightly: "Speaking of which, Gu just arrived in Lanyang County today, and he still learned from you to do something, cut off the head of Cao Zhisheng, and spread it to the county to calm the people's hearts."
Pei Benzhi's buttocks, which had just fallen, wanted to lift it again.
Zhu Yunxi was amused: "You don't have to be so restrained, you can sit down peacefully." Don't you feel tired from Chenliu County to Lanyang County?"
Pei Benzhi smiled: "When the minister was young, he often traveled to the countryside and counties to study, so his legs and feet were stronger. The grandson is in charge of the prison country, and he is given the western tour, and he holds the order of the Son of Heaven in his hand, beheads the mediocre officials, and calms the hearts of the people, which is a benevolent government."
After some temptation.
The tea soup was ready, and Yutian poured a cup of tea for each of the two people sitting opposite him.
Zhu Yunxi also put away his homely leisure with Pei Benzhi, and confirmed that it was the best choice to discuss things with this person or business-to-business.
He then spoke, "What is the situation in Chenliu County now?"
When Pei Benzhi heard this, he finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, what he said outside the city that he wanted to chat with the grandson was just to comfort the people under him, and when he faced the grandson of the Ming Dynasty alone, the Qipin County Order would not be nervous.
At this moment, when he finally got to the point, Pei Ben subconsciously puffed up his chest and arched his hand: "Back to Your Highness, there are now 5,000 forest guards and horses in Chenliu County, working together to relieve the disaster and clean up the county's siltation, with great results. At present, the gentry in Chenliu County donated grain, totaling 83,726 stones, and in addition to leaving it for the county, Chen Liuke can take out 50,000 stone of grain for the people of the surrounding counties to eat before the arrival of the imperial court's relief grain."
When he said this, Pei Benzhi was not proud, but felt ashamed.
A county was affected by the disaster, and the surplus food of the government was no longer enough for the people of the county to feed for a few days. However, the grain stored by the large households in the county can not only feed the people of the county, but even use most of it to support the people in the surrounding counties.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes are also not very good-looking.
He glanced at Pei Benzhi, who was ashamed, and sneered: "These are the gentry of my Ming Dynasty."
….
Pei Benzhi said in a low voice, "Actually, Your Highness...... In the past two years, His Royal Highness King Qin has imitated Zhejiang Province for the imperial court, and implemented the integration of the division of land into acres and the integration of officials and gentry in Henan Province, which has achieved remarkable results, and the people have become more interested in the imperial court."
"The reform of the official post system implemented by the imperial court earlier made it even more convenient for people to communicate with each other. The imperial court has been doing things for the people for the past few years, and the people are gradually able to fill their stomachs with more food."
"It's just that the administration of the imperial court will take decades or hundreds of years, and it will be ...... for the time being. That's pretty good right now......
Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "The imperial court has to accumulate years of merit in its governance, but this time the six mansions were affected by the disaster, is it because of the imperial court's governance?"
Zhu Yunxi quietly changed the topic in another direction.
Pei Benzhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he shook his head helplessly with a wry smile.
Zhu Yunxi sneered, "It is impossible for the imperial court to know what is happening in the local area every day, so the imperial court has built a complex supervision system layer upon layer. The role of the three law divisions is to deter women with the law. And the brocade guard of this dynasty is a knife hanging above the head and neck of officials at all times. However, even at such a great cost, Lanyang County still broke up."
Pei Benzhi didn't know what to say at this time.
He thought about it, if he and Cao Zhisheng were transferred to another position, he would be the county magistrate of Lanyang County next to the Yellow River embankment, and Cao Zhisheng would be the county magistrate of Chenliu County, which was not close to the river. Perhaps, this year's Yellow River embankment will not burst.
"Lonely thoughts
Let you be the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture."
Zhu Yunxi's voice quietly penetrated into Pei Benzhi's ears, which made him shocked.
Pei Benzhi looked up at Zhu Yunxi with his mouth open, he was just thinking about changing positions, but the imperial grandson was thinking that he would be in charge of the entire Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Pei Benzhi, who was surprised, and smiled: "Let's wait, I have been the iron neck county magistrate of Chenliu County for eight years, and I really want to see your name, when will you be replaced by the iron neck prefect of Kaifeng Mansion."
Pei Benzhi couldn't sit still anymore, got up and waved his arms together and bowed.
"Thanksgiving."
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Talking a few words, in fact, it's just to calm your heart. Wait for Gu to take the seat of the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion for you, and then it will be up to you to perform. ...... now"
Pei Benzhi rarely showed a chuckle, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Your Highness, please use tea."
……
In the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Bianliang Road to Kaifeng Mansion in Beijing. In another eleven years, the capital was dismissed as the government, and the king of Zhou, Zhu Hu (su) vassal state.
Since then, Kaifeng has begun to prosper as a thoroughfare of eight provinces.
Kaifeng Prefecture is even more because of its special political status, with a place of one government, the power of four states and 30 counties.
Kaifeng City, located in the heart of the Central Plains, has a history as thick as the Yellow River embankment.
this day.
Shortly after Zhu Yunxi arrived in Lanyang County, he borrowed the county order to reassure the people by ordering Cao Zhisheng's head.
Several accompanying officials, escorted by a team of brocade guards, quietly appeared outside Kaifeng Mansion.
Everyone on this trip did not wear the official mansion, but dressed up as merchants, the officials were the merchants, and the Jinyi guards were the caravan guards.
As for the wagons in the team, they were really loaded with a lot of food.
….
Everyone stood beside the official road not far from the city gate, and they all looked at the gate of Kaifeng City with frowns.
"Why can't you even see a single victim?" A head of the ministry asked in a puzzled voice.
Someone also explained it in a low voice.
"What if the Kaifeng Prefecture arranges the victims elsewhere?"
"It's also possible that the Kaifeng Mansion has already gotten all the victims to work for relief."
The head of the ministry shook his head and looked at the other Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate.
Because in the early years, Zhan Hui, the former secretary of the ministry, also served as the errand of the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so in those years, the officials of the Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were very close, and the relationship was also good.
This relationship has not been interrupted so far.
The imperial history of the Imperial Court frowned and looked around, and then looked at the officers and soldiers standing on the city wall, and the soldiers and horses of the people and caravans under the city wall were inspected, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"That's not right."
Several officials who were still thinking about the reason for the side couldn't help but look over after hearing the sound.
The Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate said in a low voice: "This time the six mansions were affected, and you have all seen the situation in Lanyang County. What did those people look like after the disaster, and how many people gathered outside the city to wait for the government to recruit people for work, except for the dredging of the dredging people, who did not have enough to eat?"
With the explanation of the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, a light sound suddenly sounded in the team.
Everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
Damn it, Kaifeng Fucheng can't see the victims, it's the biggest thing!
There is not a single victim in sight of a huge city, and there is nothing more wrong than this situation.
The people who rushed to the outside of Kaifeng City in disguise finally reacted.
The head of the department, dressed as a wealthy businessman, snorted coldly, and turned his head to look at the brocade-clothed guards dressed as guards in the team.
"Quietly, go to a few people to inquire about the news, and see where the victims outside Kaifeng Mansion are."
Several brocade guards immediately received the order and were about to hide their bodies and leave the team.
However, at this time, under the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, where everyone fell slightly, a group of cavalry rushed straight out.
Far away, it's already a call
The shouts came.
"Guys are on the wrong side!"
"Guys are on the wrong side!"
"Kaifeng Mansion is late to welcome, please forgive me."
The shouts from under the city gates were full of enthusiasm and apology.
The head of the ministry frowned, turned around and hid his palms behind him, and pressed his hands against the few brocade guards who had already lifted their steps.
The brocade guards immediately stopped.
The few people behind the head of the ministry frowned and looked at the pair of horseback riders who rushed over, and talked in a low voice.
"We're exposed."
"How did they know we were coming?"
"There can be no mistakes in His Highness's entourage, so the problem can only be in Kaifeng Mansion."
"They've been waiting for us to come!"
After three or two sentences of discussion, one result is presented in front of everyone's eyes.
And the head of the ministry has already walked out with his feet raised.
Now that the identity has been recognized by the Kaifeng Mansion, there is no need to be cheeky and pretend not to know.
The head of the official department hugged his fist towards the team that came straight over: "The head of this official department's examination of the Qing Officials Division, I don't know which yamen you are in Kaifeng Mansion."
….
The breath of the war horse has reached the ears of the head of the ministry.
The sturdy war horse is a rare thing in the border army.
On horseback, a middle-aged man in a green robe official uniform dismounted calmly, signaling the servants behind him to be calm.
The middle-aged man threw away the reins in his hand, smiled with a smile on his face, and clasped his hands in front of the head of the ministry: "The lower officials are the general judgment of Kaifeng Mansion, and it is late to welcome all the officials today, and I also ask the officials to atone for their sins."
Listening to this man's voice, he knew that the shouting under the city gate just now came from him.
When the middle-aged man was smiling and making amends, his eyes moved from the head of the ministry to the other accompanying officials behind him, and finally glanced at the brocade guards who were secretly on guard.

The head of the ministry arched his hand: "It turned out to be the general judgment of the party, and the lower official is just the chief of the official department, how dare he forget his dignity in front of the general judgment."
The head of the ministry replied very strictly, and his eyes were always quietly observing the Kaifeng Mansion judge on the opposite side.
Kaifeng Mansion General Judge Fang Guxin smiled and waved his hand: "The main officer is the official accompanying His Royal Highness Taisun, so naturally he can be regarded as a Qincha, isn't that the official of Kaifeng Mansion who is waiting for us."
The head of the ministry frowned slightly, shook a few times, and the other party was a little dissatisfied with the salty and unsalty Tai Chi rhetoric of fixed salary.
It's just that he still has a show of affection.
The head of the ministry said softly, "I wonder how Fang Tongju knew that we were coming?"
Fang Guxin rolled his eyes, and without thinking too much, he said, "The people of Kaifeng Mansion have been looking forward to His Royal Highness Taisun for a long time, and they are looking forward to the imperial court's relief for a long time. Ladies and gentlemen, don't look at the merchants in Kaifeng Mansion now, these are all borrowed grain from the village sages.
Kaifeng Mansion is waiting for the arrival of all the officials every day, and today I saw that the appearance of the officials was not like the locals of Kaifeng Mansion, and the people of the government came back to make a report. The lower officials know that you are reluctant to show your official faces, for fear of shocking the people of Kaifeng Mansion, but the lower officials still have to come to pick up your superiors in person, so as to fulfill the etiquette of Kaifeng Mansion."
Fang Guxin said very tactfully.
But it made the head of the ministry more and more uneasy.
This Kaifeng Mansion sentenced the party to fix the salary, and in just a few words, not only named the difficulties of Kaifeng Mansion now, but also explained why they knew about the arrival of their group.
So far, it's at least a perfect explanation.
"Dare to ask Fang Tongju, I don't know where the victims of Kaifeng Mansion have gone?"
Really when the head of the ministry didn't know what attitude to take to continue, another accompanying official behind him was already speaking bluntly, double
looked at Fang Guxin, who had a smile on his face.
Fang Guxin was stunned for a moment, then frowned, as if he was very surprised, and said, "If you go back to Shangguan, the disaster victims in this mansion will naturally go to work. Didn't the imperial court tell us to work for relief to reassure the people, this is a good thing, the imperial court has an order, and Kaifeng Mansion will naturally go all out to do it."
The officials accompanying the questioning continued to press questions.
Behind Fang Guxin and the others, another team approached with bursts of steam.
"Let's get it! Let's go!"
"I missed the soup kitchen in the palace and starved the stomachs of the people, no one in Kaifeng Mansion should think about it!"
The people shouting in front of the line are so polite and not fake colors.
When he got closer and saw Fang Guxin, who had already looked over, the man's face changed, and he hurriedly trotted over.
"It turned out to be Fang Tong's judgment, the little one should be damned, the little one should be damned!"
Fang Guxin snorted coldly, "Are you going to ruin the reputation of the palace!" Giving porridge for the palace is giving porridge, so arrogant and domineering, do you want the official to go to the palace to complain?"
The man immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty again and again: "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare."
While speaking, he looked up at the head of the ministry and the others several times.
Fang Guxin seemed to be angry in his heart, but he still snorted coldly and said, "These are all the envoys of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, and they came to Kaifeng Mansion today to relieve the disaster, if you do things in Hutu again, the messengers will be able to kill you!"
When the man heard this, he was shocked.
Mu Lu glanced at the head of the ministry in fright, and knelt on the ground with a snap.
Both hands were already twitching into his face.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
