Be a master through ancient times

The person in the memorial is a royal censor of Yushitai, named Qin Shun, who is officially listed as the fourth rank.The duty of Yushitai is to correct and impeach all officials, to justify wrongdoing, and to maintain integrity, but all the way to the present, it has become more and more outrageous.

Yushitai selected some sharp-mouthed officials to be responsible for the impeachment, and sent people to make unannounced visits in the streets and alleys. Once there are any rumors, they must be impeached upwards.The ones they impeached the most were officials of the third grade or above, because this was the only way to show that they were not afraid of power.

Even Zuo Xiang, who has power over the ruling and opposition parties, was once impeached by Yushitai several times because he said a vulgar language while chatting with others, thinking that he was out of office.

Those impeached can only justify with a wry smile, but they cannot say anything to them.Because this group of people has the great idea of ​​"blood splashing the golden palace" all the time, and if they disagree with each other, they will hit the pillar.If he is dead, it will be settled, and he can still get a clear name. Those impeached by him will be stigmatized for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, some people secretly call them "mad dogs", because they bite people when they see them, and they don't let go when they bite.

However, it is precisely because of their existence that the atmosphere in the capital is better than other places.After all, there is a sword hanging over your head at any time, and you don't know when it will fall, so you will be more careful when doing things.

This is the reason why the emperor still gave Yushitai the power of supervision even though he was unbearable.

It was Chu Ci who was bitten today.Let's not say that he is the number one scholar in the current department, he was in the limelight at the time.Just talking about the rest day, the person who talked the most among the students from the outer academy after returning home yesterday was this Chu Siye.

Although many ministers did not see him, they already had a deep impression on him.Now hearing Qin Shun's impeachment of the newly appointed Si Ye, he couldn't help but look back to see where the impeached person was.

"Is there convincing evidence for what Aiqing said?" The emperor was a little helpless. It was the first time that a sixth-rank official was impeached by Yushitai.

"Report to the emperor, that's right. All the students of the Imperial College can testify that this is indeed the case." Qin Shun replied.

"Where is Wang Jijiu of Guozijian?" Since it was a matter of Guozijian, the first person to be asked was of course the head of Guozijian.

Wang Jijiu stood up tremblingly, and saluted respectfully: "My Majesty, this old minister is here."

"Qin Yushi impeached your subordinates for enriching their own pockets and treating students harshly. Do you know about this?" The emperor's voice sounded extremely majestic, and Wang Jijiu secretly screamed that it was terrible. What Chu Ci did probably angered the emperor.

"This... the old minister has been feeling unwell for the past few days. He has already gone to the Ministry of Officials to put up a file, and he is allowed to go home to recuperate after he is ordered. The old minister is completely unaware of what Chu Siye has done." Wang Jijiu pushed the matter away. He was very old, standing in the middle tremblingly, looking a bit pitiful.

The emperor didn't like his ignorant appearance, but considering that he had no credit or hard work, he let him go.

"Then what do other lovers think about the impeachment of Qin Yushi?" Chu Ci left a deep impression on the emperor last time, and he still needs to use Chu Ci, so naturally he can't deal with Chu according to what Qin Yushi said. To resign, I can only make peace, find a reason, and make this big and small matter small.

Wen Hai came out at the front, and he said: "My Majesty, I think it is too rash to convict Chu Siye with one-sided words. He should come to the court today, so why don't you let him pass?" Defend yourself and see what he has to say."

"My minister seconded the proposal. Chu Siye is young and energetic, and there may be some inappropriate things in his actions. Let's see how he defends himself. If he can't give a reason, it will not be too late for the emperor to punish him." Mu Yuanxiu also stood up, After several conversations with Chu Ci, he knew a little bit about him.He is not such a short-sighted person at all, and there must be a reason for it.

"Hmph, it seems that this little Siye is very popular, and he can make friends with so many court officials to complain for him. In my opinion, before the charges of impeachment just now, there should be another one of forming a party for personal gain." Seeing the two of them speaking for Chuci, the censor sneered and opened his mouth to attack.

"Zuo Yushi's words are meant to show that this court is your Yushitai's hall of speech? Only you have the reason for impeachment, and no one else has the right to speak?" He supported Qin Shun, and naturally there were others for Wen and Mu Er People chime in.

When the people at Yushitai saw it, they immediately spoke up to cheer, and the others stopped doing it after seeing it, and they refuted every word, and the verbal battle was fierce.

Seeing that the court was about to be reduced to a vegetable market again, the emperor had no choice but to calm down.

"Everyone, please calm down. The next judgment will require the defendant to justify a few words, let alone here? In my opinion, just as Wen Aiqing said, first call Chu Siye up to ask, if he If you can’t explain why, it’s not too late to punish severely according to the law.”

"Your Majesty is wise." The group of people who were blushing just now immediately returned to their elegant appearance.Because of the court's unspoken rules for selecting officials, the civil servants above the court are all beautiful young men, beautiful uncles and beautiful old men. Even if such people quarrel, they look pleasing to the eye.

"Xuan Guozi Supervisor Si Ye Chu Ci enters the palace!" A eunuch went outside the palace to announce the decree, and Chu Ci followed the eunuch who passed the decree into the palace to answer in the eyes of everyone who was either sympathetic or watching the show.

Chu Ci was a little nervous in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and he could still salute calmly under the watchful eyes of these big shots.

"Chu Siye, let's live. Although you were outside the hall just now, you should have heard clearly. Qin Yushi said that you treated the students harshly and filled your own pockets. Is there anything wrong?"

"Report to the emperor, but the humble minister does not recognize it."

As soon as he said this, there were several sneers from Yushitai. Under the circumstances of such conclusive evidence, it is extremely stupid to deny it outright.

"Oh, I heard that all students from the outer court can testify, and you don't admit it?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I have indeed carried out some reforms in the Imperial College, and this canteen is indeed within the scope of rectification. But if you want to say that I have treated the students harshly and enriched my own pockets, I will definitely not dare to admit this crime of."

"Hmph, sophistry. I have already inquired. In the past, every meal in this Guozijian dining hall was rich in dishes. After your rectification, there are only five dishes left in one meal. How do you let the students have enough to eat? Also, this After the rectification, the cost of the dining hall has been reduced by more than half, but the household department still pays 500 taels of silver for it every month, so where did the money go?"

This Qin Shun really came prepared, and privately investigated those matters in the canteen of the Imperial College.

"Chu Siye, what do you say?" The emperor asked, just listening to Qin Shun's words, this Chuci's actions are really stupid, it is not good to move where the money is, but to move where everyone is staring.But just because everyone was staring at him, his behavior seemed very meaningful.

"After listening to Qin Yushi's words, Wei Chen suddenly remembered something." Chu Ci did not rush to refute.

"What's the matter?"

"During the imperial examination, I was fortunate enough to be given food by the emperor. I believe that all adults should have this experience, right? This is the emperor's sympathy and preferential treatment for us. I will never forget this meal."

"Don't talk nonsense, we're talking about your harsh treatment of students." Qin Shun felt that this person wanted to flatter him and ask the emperor to let him go.

Chu Ci ignored him and continued to recall: "Weichen remembers the dishes at that time very clearly. There were two Sixi meatballs, two chicken legs, six pieces of roast meat, and four green vegetables. Weichen ate all the rice with these vegetables. When it was all gone, there was not even a mouthful of vegetable soup left, and the stomach was full."

The other ministers couldn't help recalling what they ate at that time, and found that it was the same as what Chu Siye said. It seems that this is the standard for eating in the corridor.

"Chu Siye! No one is patient to listen to your nonsense, please face up to what I just said!" Qin Shun's face turned red with anger.

"Oh, I'm just about to say something. The emperor gave me four dishes in the porch, and the Guozijian dining hall has five dishes. Why can't I eat them? Are those students more noble than the adults here? Or, Qin The censor thinks that the emperor gave you only four dishes in the verandah and treated you harshly? I don’t know how many dishes the Qin censor eats for a meal? Is it as rich as the Guozijian’s usual menu.”

"Puchi—" Someone couldn't help laughing, but immediately covered their mouths.Looking at other adults, they all looked like they couldn't help laughing.

"Reporting to the emperor, he is slandering you! I have always been diligent and thrifty in managing my family, and there are no more than four dishes in a meal, and only one or two dishes will be added when there are guests!" Qin Shun immediately complained, and no one dared to admit that he usually ate well. very good.

"That's right, Master Qin, look, as a fourth-rank official, you only have three or four dishes on weekdays. How can these students, He De, eat more than ten or twenty dishes for a meal?" Chu Ci said confidently.

"You...don't confuse the public. What I'm talking about now is that you collect all the subsidy money for your own use!" Qin Shun felt that he had finally grasped the point.

"After I tidied up the dining hall, I did have some extra money. But I accounted for all the money spent in Wang Dian's book. If you don't believe me, you can go to check the account. I have taken the speech away, and my lord can deal with me according to the law of the country." Chu Ci said righteously.

Qin Shun said again: "The reason for your flowers is that you have made some troublesome homeroom teachers come out, right? Teaching and educating people is their duty, so what if they do more? Why do you have to allocate funds to reward them separately!"

"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Qin really knows everything. Since you mentioned this, I have to say a few more words. In this world, there is no one who only wants the horse to run without feeding the horse. The Imperial College should subsidize the extra work they do, otherwise, who would be convinced? If the adults think that it’s okay to do a little more, then I will ask you to come to our Imperial College to help and manage it after you leave the office every day. Students. Anyway, we are all officials of the Great Wei Dynasty, so it’s okay to do more.”

The other officials laughed secretly again. Usually when they set off firecrackers at the Yushitai, it was crackling non-stop. Have you ever seen them misfire?People who are impeached often can only go back with a stomach full of anger.

"Then you shouldn't allocate funds from the Ministry of Users to subsidize them, you should use your own money from the Imperial College!"

"Since the adults say so, that's okay. The head teacher serves all the students. Then I decide to collect service fees from each student from next month, and the money will be allocated from here." Chu Ci said lightly, Immediately set off an uproar among officials.

This money has to be paid by the students. Where does the money for the students of the Imperial College come from?Is it not from them?Even this Qin Shun, there are three juniors in his family studying in the Imperial College.

"This method is inappropriate." Someone immediately stood up and objected, "The Ministry of Households allocates funds to them, and they belong to them. If they are willing to cut it, the rest should be at their own disposal. Why should it be withdrawn? Isn't it superfluous?"

"That's right. Qin Yushi came up with this idea, why not let the Qin family pay for the service fee."

Officials just disagree with this method.

Qin Shun was speechless, he said: "Then why do we have to have a head teacher? We didn't have this before, wouldn't it be the same?"

"My lord's words are wrong. The duty of a teacher is to preach the word and teach the karma to solve the confusion. Nowadays, the education in the Guozijian and even the prefectural and county schools is only to teach the karma and solve the confusion. I don't know where the mission of preaching has gone."

"These people are young and energetic. If there is no correct guidance, there may be deviations in thinking or behavior. The role of the class teacher is here. The adults are busy with political affairs, and the wives have inner houses to manage. How many adults are there? After we go back, we will talk to the children to understand their thoughts? Although filial sons are born under the stick, we have to understand why they do those things before we use the stick."

The officials at the court were a little dazed, and no one had ever put the responsibility of godson on the court.What Chu Siye said was inexplicably reasonable.
