In the Fengtian Temple, the hand falling can be heard in an instant.

The magistrates didn't dare to breathe, and many people hung their chopsticks in the air, and they didn't dare to move.

Boss Zhu stared at the magistrate for a while with an expressionless face before he said in a deep voice: "You call Daotong?" ”

"Yes." That Panyu Zhixian saw sweat on his forehead, and he replied strongly.

"He said he wasn't derelict in his duties?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhang Du, the new secretary of the ministry who accompanied him. "And how is the evaluation?"

"Back to the emperor." Zhang Butang has a lofty physique and outstanding appearance, and hurriedly replied: "The result of this evaluation of Panyu Zhixian is 'usually inferior'. Because the security and people's livelihood of Panyu County are not to mention that they are compared with Jiangnan, they are the third from the bottom in Guangfu. ”

"Such a bad official, do you still keep him for the New Year?" Boss Zhu's expression turned cold and said, "Did you take advantage of him?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has never accepted bribes from anyone!" Zhang Butang's face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly explained:

"According to the regulations, Panyu Zhixian should be designated as 'incompetent', but the ministry took into account that Guangdong's evaluation of him according to the judge was 'honest and honest, diligent and loving the people', and his official reputation was well-known in Panyu and even Guangfu, so he discussed with Yushitai and made it an 'ordinary retention'."

"Panyu is far away in Lingnan, how do you know what his official reputation is?" Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.

"Because Weichen is a native of Panyu." Zhang Du replied honestly: "In the letters with relatives and friends, I know something about the officials of Daozhi County. In addition, the ministers are also a little selfish, hoping to keep a good official for their fathers and fellow villagers. ”

"It turns out that there is still this relationship...... Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Is he usually taking care of his family?" ”

"Emperor Mingjian, because he died and was buried in Xizhang Mountain, Zengcheng County, so the whole family of the minister had already moved to Zengcheng and was not in Panyu." Zhang Du hurriedly said frankly.

"Well, I believe what you said." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. The so-called big waves of sand, gold panning in the sand, Boss Zhu cut leeks stubble by stubble, and there will always be some real clean officials and honest officials, and this degree is one.

So his words, Boss Zhu is still more convinced.

"But Panyu County is at the bottom, you still say that he is a good official, and he himself thinks he is a good official, where does this come from?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked playfully: "Daotong, you can tell it yourself." ”

"Back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't think he's a good official, Weichen just keeps asking himself to be a good official!" Daotong said with a ashamed face: "But Panyu County is still far from the peace of the people, and it is very bad to be a parent official as a minister." ”

"Then why are you calling it a grievance?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked.

"Because Wechen has no dereliction of duty, Wechen has done his best, and he has a clear conscience for the minister!" Dao Tong raised his head high again, and repeated his previous words loudly.

"What the hell are you ......" Boss Zhu was so angry that he almost scolded his mother, and the common words of King Chu popped out of his mouth: "Schizophrenia, right!" ”

"Of the fifteen counties in Guangzhou Prefecture, you Panyu ranks third from the bottom, you have a clear conscience, and you do your best?!" Zhu Yuanzhang pulled his face and said, "Why are you embarrassed to say such things with a shy face?!" ”

As he spoke, he shouted angrily and ordered left and right: "Fork him out, and the rod will be punished eighty, and he will never be used!" ”

"The emperor is angry!" Zhang Du hurriedly pleaded with Daotong: "The situation in Panyu County is a bit special. Before Daozhi County took office, it was the first to last in the annual assessment. It's a miracle that he was able to rise to the bottom three! I believe that no one will do a better job than him! ”

"Minister, have a clear conscience!" Dao Tong's eyes were red, his lips moved, as if he was full of words to say to the emperor, but he couldn't say anything when it came to his mouth, so he could only kowtow heavily.

"If you have something to say, don't fucking go around in circles!" Zhu Yuanzhang was about to suffocate this stuffy gourd, and shouted: "Raise your head, hurry up, or we will pinch your eggs!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and the magistrates never dreamed that His Majesty the Emperor could say such a thing.

But don't say it, this is quite useful for Daotong. At this time, he finally raised his head and said boldly: "Back to the emperor, because Panyu County is not only attached to Guo, but also the station of the Yamen of the Dusi, and the arrogant soldiers from the north will pick quarrels and provoke trouble all day long, bullying men and women!" also colluded with the ruffians to bully the market and do all kinds of evil, and the people were unbearable, how could they live and work in peace and contentment! ”

"It's really difficult to attach Guo Zhi County. Didn't you laugh at yourself and say, 'If you did evil in your previous life, you will be attached to Guo, and you will be full of evil, and you will be attached to Guo's provincial capital'? Boss Zhu said with a slightly gloomy expression: "But there are 200 counties attached to Guo in the country, and there are about 20 counties attached to Guo in the provincial capital, and there are no lower rankings than you, right?" ”

"Yes......" Daotong bowed his head in shame.

"Besides, there is a problem of arrogant soldiers harassing the local area, can you let the Dusi Yamen take care of their people?" Boss Zhu said in a deep voice:

"If the Dusi Yamen doesn't listen, you can appeal to the prefect's yamen and the judge's yamen, and let them coordinate. They can't coordinate, and we do. It's not that there is no way to solve the problem, why don't you try to solve it? ”

"The ministers have written to the Yamen of the Third Division many times, but to no avail, those officers and soldiers still go their own way, and even intensify the wounding of officials and insults to the ministers. Last year alone, the Panyu County Ya went to the water six times, and there was really nothing to be done for the ministers, the emperor ......"

"......" Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually became solemn when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice:

"Let's eat first. It just so happens that Yongjiahou is in Beijing, let's call him later, and you will make the gong and drum in front of you to explain the problem to us clearly. ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and turned back to the main table.

Without the emperor to speak, Daotong could only kneel for a long time.

~~

"What's the situation, why did my father stop?" The fourth asked the sixth in a low voice.

"The fourth brother doesn't know that Zhu Liangzu, the commander of the Guangdong Metropolitan and the Marquis of Yongjia, has just been appointed by his father as the deputy general of the expedition to the south, and is responsible for preparing for the march of the army on the Western Road." The sixth child whispered to him:

"At that time, he will lead the army from Guangxi to Yunnan."

"I said." The fourth child suddenly said: "Then this Panyu Zhixian really doesn't have a little eyesight, isn't this a problem for my father." ”

"I think he understands it very well." The sixth said lightly: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be nervous like this." But he still chose to speak at the banquet given by his father, I am afraid that it was precisely because Yongjiahou became the deputy general of Zhengnan that he had to do it. ”

"You mean, Marquis Yongjia has received the heavy responsibility of the military state, and he will definitely intensify the tossing of the place?" The fourth child touched his chin and said, "So this Yuzhi County, you have to give him some eye medicine in advance to let him restrain himself?" ”

"I guess so." The sixth nodded and said: "Changing generals in battle, the soldiers are taboo, he can't count on his father and the emperor to remove Yongjiahou, right?" ”

"Then he's brave enough, isn't this touching the tiger's ass?" The fourth child couldn't help but admire: "Even if Yongjiahou is forced to rein in, he will definitely clean him up when he gets the opportunity to turn around." ”

He knows too well the behavior of these noble generals who are flying high and domineering, and they will be retribution.
