Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 370 Your Majesty is Holy!
In the Senate, after hearing what Ruan Minxi said, Huang Zongxi became rather annoyed, blushed and stood up thickly: "Your Majesty, I ask you to cancel the treatment of supporting honesty and silver for all the censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, because this is an insult to your ministers." , as a minister, one should be honest and self-preserving, how can he be greedy for selfishness because of little salary, and serve the public because of large salary!"

Zhu Kezang was speechless, wondering whether to say that Huang Zongxi, a great thinker, had a high level of ideological awareness, or that he was too stupid. Wouldn't it be good for the imperial court to give your department more money?

In modern times, it is equivalent to the boss of a department refusing the boss to give his department extra bonuses.

"Why is this an insult? This is the emperor Long En, who treated you favorably to the big and small censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The purpose is to keep us clean and honest. You Huang Taichong (Huang Zongxi's character) can not accept the emperor's favor. Knowing the emperor's kindness, do you also want to prevent your censors from accepting the emperor's kindness? You Huang Taichong is willing to abide by poverty and make your wife and children starve and cold. Do you want your censors to suffer poverty and their wives and children Hungry and cold?"

Ruan Minxi, as an old man in the period of Guo Xingye, was not at all cowardly when he hated others. Although his family was rich, who would think it was too much.

"Your Majesty, the censors of Zuodu seem to be displaying a high-spirited and upright style on the surface, but in fact it will lead to the abort of the imperial court's policy of preferential treatment of censors. Once this is the case, once the censors of the world become corrupt, it will be bad for the entire Ming Dynasty. It is the foundation of the whole society, but he alone has the high reputation of Zuodu Censor, and his heart can be punished!" Hong Lei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said directly.

Huang Zongxi blushed even more after hearing this: "Nonsense! Hong Shangshu, this official is not trying to gain fame!"

Hong Lei directly asked: "You didn't try to gain fame, so did you still prevent the emperor from benevolent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate's other censors' policies? Did you obstruct the Ming Dynasty's plan to purify officials? Didn't obstructing the world's censors ruin your reputation for supporting your family? ?”

Huang Zongxi fell silent, and finally had no choice but to turn around and erect the elephant wat to Zhu Kezang: "I take back what I said just now. I am old and incompetent. Please punish the emperor."

Obviously, Huang Zongxi did not expect that he would be disgusted by so many ministers today.

It made him feel isolated, and it made him a little disheartened.

It seems that the whole dynasty is full of traitors and thieves.

Seeing this, Zhu Kezang shook his head: "There is no need to argue, the Lianyang Bank of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will distribute it, and I will not favor one over the other. Once the trial of the Nourishing Lianyin Bank of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is successful, it can be promoted to all ministries."

After Zhu Kezang finished speaking, he got up and left here.

"I will obey your orders!"

For a while, except for Huang Zongxi's unhappy face, all the important officials present were beaming. After all, Yang Lianyin is good news in any way. up.

The chief officials of each ministry quickly returned to their own departments to announce the great news.

In the brightly lit yamen, figures of officials at all levels came and went, all spreading the news.

But only the Metropolitan Procuratorate was still as quiet as a snowy night.

Huang Zongxi looked at a group of deputy capital censors, Qiandu censors, and Dao censors in his Metropolitan Procuratorate, and said: "Everyone, today Huang advised the emperor on something in the court."

All the censors were very excited when they heard that Huang Zongxi advised the emperor.

I wondered what happened to Zuodu Yushi to persuade the tough and ruthless emperor.

Is it to prevent the emperor from promoting the new business tax?

Or is it preventing the emperor from opening a department store?

"Mr. Huang is amazing!"

"Huang Gong is really an upright minister, we admire him."

"Duke Huang has the style of Wei Zheng!"

All of a sudden, the censors didn't know what was going on, so they started to praise him.

At the same time, Zuoqian Duyu also asked curiously: "Everyone, please be quiet! Dare I ask, why did Huang Gong stop His Majesty?"

Huang Zongxi replied: "I have advised you against the emperor's policy of granting more money to the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I think this is an insult to us censors, so I ask the emperor to withdraw this treatment. I believe you You also have the same idea as Huang, right?"

As he said that, Huang Zongxi laughed. He waited for these censors to agree with him, and went to the school with him to remonstrate this matter again, so as to set an example for the world.

It means that not all scholars are officials just for money.

But the censors were silent.

As the saying goes: Taking money from someone is like killing your parents.

Fortunately for Huang Zongxi, he wanted to cut off all the sources of income of the imperial officials in the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate.

And it is a legitimate source of income recognized by the emperor.

So, the result is predictable.

At this time, how much the censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate wanted to kill Huang Zongxi.

But it happens that we are all scholars, and we are all disciples of Confucius and Mencius. On the surface, we must have a style of valuing righteousness over profit.

Therefore, the censors didn't know what to say about Huang Zongxi for a while, so they just smiled awkwardly.

If you don't laugh, what else can you do? Do you really want to praise you Huang Zongxi for admonishing you against your will?

You don't persuade the emperor to let other yamen spend less, but you voluntarily refuse the legal benefits of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Anyway, after hearing what Huang Zongxi said, the censors felt as uncomfortable as eating flies.

Huang Zongxi was stunned for a moment, and also a little disappointed, and asked, "Why don't you talk anymore?" No one answered.

No one gave him face as the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Even Yu Shi, who has a relatively straightforward temper, could not conceal the anger on his face, and began to flirt with Huang Zongxi.

It's okay if you want to be poor, we can praise you for your integrity, but you can't let us be poor officials like you.

Zhang Riyao, the imperial censor of Zuoqin, couldn't help standing up and asking, "Then, did the emperor accept Huang Gongzhi's advice?"

Zhang Riyao is the son of Zhang Jin, Zheng Zhongkuangbo of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhang Jin rebelled and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the 15th year of Yongli because Guo Yi and Cai Lu occupied Tongshan, they were coerced by them to surrender. Zhang Jin refused, so he set himself on fire and died. .

In order to reward his loyalty and sympathize with his family, Zhu Chenggong, the surname of the country, appointed Zhang Riyao as the magistrate of Changtai County. Later, because of his outstanding work, Zhang Riyao was promoted by Zhu Kezang to be the censor of Zuoqian capital.

Zhang Riyao, the imperial censor of Zuoqian Capital, asked this question.

All the censors looked at Huang Zongxi with concern.

All the censors really want His Majesty to reject Huang Zongxi's unreasonable remonstrance.

After all, who doesn't want a little more legal income.

Who wants to be greedy when they have more legitimate income.

After all, if you have more legal income, you can justifiably raise a foreigner, but after all, you will not be so comfortable sleeping with greedy money.

All the censors hope that His Majesty will not accept Huang Zongxi's advice this time.

Huang Zongxi sighed first.

The censors breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Zongxi said at this time: "The emperor didn't accept it. He said that you can be honest, but he can't ignore your life and death."

"The emperor is holy!"

Suddenly, I don't know which censor couldn't hold back, and blurted out a big truth.

Huang Zongxi raised his head in astonishment, with a sullen look on his face, as if asking: "Who is it?!"
