Chapter 90: Jingcha
As for why it is the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the main reason is that there are too many similarities between the two.
The main responsibilities of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are to maintain law and order in the capital, arrest thieves, rectify criminals, manage water, fire prohibition, etc.
Similarly, Jinyiwei is mainly responsible for patrolling, arresting, managing prisons, arresting prisoners, etc.
The difference is that the main target of the Five Cities Terracotta Division is the civil underworld forces, while the Jinyi Guard is mainly aimed at court officials.
In later generations, Jinyiwei is equivalent to a powerful version of the National Security Bureau, and the Five Cities Terracotta Division is like a joint department of public security and fire protection.
Once Chen Kan came to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Jin Yiwei wanted to arrest officials at will without restrictions as before, and given the relationship between Chen Kan and Ji Gang, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division would inevitably take action to obstruct it.
Although this is easy to cause a fight between the two departments, it can greatly reduce the possibility of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, especially the situation where the chief officer of Jinyi Wei wants to connect the court for his own selfishness, it is difficult to appear again.
And this is exactly what Zhu Di wants to see.
Jinyiwei's power is too great, to the extent that it needs to be restrained.
Historically, Zhu Di set up a new department called the Dongji Factory, and used eunuchs to clamp down on Jinyiwei.
Later, after discovering that the East Factory was also out of control, it set up a West Factory, all in all, it was a notorious department, and there was no good thing.
Standing at the door of the Nancheng Terracotta Division, Chen Kan had no intention of entering.
Zhu Di's will has not yet come down, and he is still a member of Jinyiwei.
Turning the horse's head back home, Chen Kan was shocked to realize that another day had passed.
He found that since he came to Daming, there was always not enough time every day, and after being busy with one thing, he could always find another thing to continue to be busy.
I didn't even have time to go to such an elegant thing as listening to music in the hook column.
This is obviously a not normal working state, and under the high level of mental tension, people can easily be forced into perverts.
So Chen Kan returned to the room, and after carrying two silver ingots in his arms, he planned to go to the Qinhuai River Painting Boat and his party.
"Stop!"
Fang Xiaoru's voice sounded at the right time, and Chen Kan looked back and said in surprise: "Teacher." When did you go on a business trip? ”
Now that Fang Xiaoru has returned, Chen Kan's plan to travel to the Qinhuai River has been declared bankrupt.
"Just after the errand, Jingcha is about to arrive, and the official business during this time is much busier."
Fang Xiaoru explained and turned around and entered the study, and Chen Kan had to follow in.
Closing the door of the study and coming to sit down opposite Fang Xiaoru, Chen Kan asked with some curiosity: "In this situation this year, does Your Majesty also plan to inspect Jingcha?" ”
Jingcha, is the imperial court triennial performance assessment of local officials, by the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate jointly responsible, because every three years of autumn begins, so it is also called Qiucha.
During the Hongwu period, the standards of "four grids" and "eight laws" were used to determine the promotion and promotion of officials.
In the Wanli period, the "eight laws" were changed to six laws, and the time was changed to once every ten years.
Once it is the year of Jingcha, it is the time for local officials to show their strength, and there is an endless stream of gift-givers and bribe-givers, and all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods can be seen.
Fang Xiaoru rubbed his eyebrows, and said a little tiredly: "The situation this year is more complicated than in previous years, so Your Majesty plans to conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation, if nothing else, there should be a big change of blood in the local officialdom." ”
Chen Kan frowned and said, "Where are so many officials replaced?" ”
"This is the problem that needs to be solved for the teacher, the official secretary, and I can't say that those old prisoners of the Guozijian will have to be pulled out for training this time."
Fang Xiaoru didn't elaborate, explained casually, and asked in a changed voice: "Have you seen Your Majesty after you came back?" ”
Chen Kan shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I have met Master Daoyan, and His Majesty plans to let the students take the original team to the position of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for some training." ”
"Hmm~"
"Your Majesty really wants to beat Ji Gang."
After pondering for a moment, Fang Xiaoru said: "This is a good thing, but the way of the cool official is really not the right way, you don't have to fall too deep, this time Your Majesty is likely to let you go to the name, it will not delay your career, so you still need to have a snack when you go to Guozijian to study." ”
"Students know."
Chen Kan nodded in response, the start of school in Guozijian is in early August, and there are still more than ten days to go.
And on the side of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, if nothing else, the position of commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will fall on his head.
The position of commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is also a rankless official position, but it has the power to control the command of the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities.
Historically, this position is generally held by the emperor's relatives when something major changes occur in Beijing, and few foreign ministers hold this official position, which can be seen in its significance.
After chatting about business, Chen Kan looked at Fang Xiaoru, and suddenly felt that the saying that there was an old man in the family was too correct.
Every time I finish chatting with Fang Xiaoru, the direction in my heart is always much clearer.
From the earnest teachings of a court boss, this kind of thing is hard to find in any era, and it must be a great good thing that can only be encountered by the ancestral tomb with green smoke.
But now that I have to move, it will be very difficult to accept Fang Xiaoru's teachings anytime and anywhere like I am now.
If Fang Xiaoru could move into the old mansion of the Hou Mansion together, how good would it be?
As soon as this thought popped up, it could not be contained.
Give it a try, what if?
Chen Kan sorted out the manuscript and said sincerely: "Teacher, the old house where the student lived when he was a child has now been repaired, and the student is ready to move back to live. ”
"If you want to move, you can move, your filial piety is received by the teacher, but the teacher is used to living here, so he will not go with you, and the old man plans to say goodbye to the old man in the future, and he will also go back to this small courtyard to care for the elderly."
Not surprisingly, Fang Xiaoru refused Chen Kan's invitation.
Chen Kan felt a little lost in his heart, knowing that it was impossible, but he continued: "During the Jingcha period, you always need a bigger place to meet officials from all over the world, and the students feel that the students' homes are just right. ”
Chen Kan's careful thinking, where would Fang Xiaoru not understand, shook his head and smiled: "According to what you say, isn't it bigger and better in the yamen of the ministry?" ”
Chen Kan retorted: "Then you can't treat the officials as your home, right?" ”
"Okay, then you reserve a good room for the teacher, and when the Jingcha is finished, I will take your master to live for a while."
got Fang Xiaoru's promise, Chen Kan was overjoyed. If you don't have to move here, you can come and live here often.
"Rest assured, the students will leave the biggest and best room for you, the kind that is surrounded by mountains and rivers!"
Chen Kan patted his chest and reassured, and both the master and apprentice were amused.
