Chapter 313 Supervisory Censor Han Yizhong speaks out and impeaches Hu Weiyong!
Although Liu Bowen was allowed to resign, he was imprisoned in the capital and was not allowed to leave.
A wave of unrest.
Wave after wave.
royal palace.
In the magnificent and magnificent hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang wore a crown with two dragons playing with pearls and a winged crown, and a Gong suit. The dragon on the Gun suit showed its teeth and claws, and his eyes were sharp.
He sat on a gold-lacquered dragon chair with carved dragons and phoenixes above.
Smoke curled up from the incense burners on both sides, making the entire hall filled with smoke.
The civil and military officials below came forward to report on recent work and the situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, my minister Fu Shankan spoke to Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the left province of Zhongshu Province, and his subordinate officials."
"Their mansions are extremely luxurious, and their food and clothing are extremely luxurious. If they only relied on their salaries, they would definitely not be like this."
"I doubt the source of their money."
"So we secretly collected evidence."
"Hu Weiyong and others are indeed corrupt and accepting bribes."
"This is the ironclad evidence collected by me!"
"Your Majesty, please check!"
Censor Han Yike stood up and impeached Hu Weiyong and his subordinates.
The whole court was in an uproar.
They did not expect that Han Yike would be so bold and dare to impeach Hu Weiyong and others who were at the height of their power.
Han Yi is really not afraid of death.
Does he think that since he is the censor, he will not be afraid of the power of the prime minister?
However, the position of censor is indeed special.
897 Yushi existed before the Ming Dynasty.
"Yu" means the emperor's royal use.
"Shi" stands for historian.
Accompanying the emperor, recording the emperor's daily life, diet and all daily affairs.
In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, censors served as historians.
It was not until Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms that things changed.
Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and established the post of Yushi Dafu in the court. The responsibility of the Yushi Dafu was to supervise all officials. The official position ranged from first grade to high power.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yushitai was set up, and the Yushi Zhongcheng was added to assist the Yushi officials.
Power differentiation.
Censor Zhongcheng also supervised the judiciary, and his official rank was from the second rank.
This system was used until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Compared with the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the function of the censor at this time has undergone fundamental changes.
From recording historical materials to monitoring officials.
The censor not only has power to intimidate all officials.
The official position is still very high.
Such an official position is bound to threaten the imperial power.
Therefore, the reform of censorship officials is imperative.
When the Sui Dynasty unified the north and south again, they readjusted the layout of official positions.
The imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty took shape at this moment.
The censor of the Sui Dynasty was demoted by the emperor more than ten levels at a time.
Downgraded from the first grade to the eighth grade.
However, the censor still retains his original functions.
Continue to monitor the officials. (bhcb) Correction of prison duties.
The power of the censor has not changed.
But the status is not as good as before.
At this time, the imperial censor's official position was only the eighth rank, and he was not even qualified to enter and exit the main entrance of the court, and could only enter and exit through the side door.
If there is no business.
No entry or exit is allowed.
This setting of censorship was still used until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
This is why later the censor was only a minor official of the seventh rank.
The setting of censors in the Ming Dynasty still followed the old system.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very power hungry.
This can be seen from the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case.
For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang had high expectations for the censor.
He hoped that the imperial censor could check and balance the powerful people in the court.
It is necessary to find someone who can check and balance the high officials.
Then this person must have nothing to do with the relatives and nobles of the DPRK.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, there is no one who has nothing to do with the royal family in the DPRK but the new champion.
The new champions are all newcomers to officialdom.
Theoretically, there is no contact or contact with the old officials in the DPRK.
Let alone friendship.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that when the new No. 1 scholar performed his duty of supervising hundreds of officials, he would not favor his relatives and bend the law for personal gain.
In history, the Huaixi Group established in the Hu Weiyong case has party members all over the country.
Even the censor Chen Ning, who was responsible for supervising all officials at the time, and the censor Zhongcheng Tujie were implicated.
The entire supervisory system that Zhu Yuanzhang originally expected.
It's all useless at the moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang must be thrilling every time he thinks about this matter [The appointment of young people is a necessary strategy to solve this problem.
There is another important reason why the imperial censorship is only open to new scholars.
That is, these people have just entered the officialdom.
They are all young people full of ambition.
Because these people will inevitably speak out when they see injustice.
Zhu Yuanzhang experienced this situation quite well in history.
One day.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, Yushi Zhongcheng Tujie, and Yushi doctor Xu Ning were drinking tea in the imperial garden and discussing state affairs.
The censor Han Yike broke in and impeached Hu Weiyong, Tu Jie, and Xu Ning.
Be blunt.
He complained bitterly that the three of them relied on their father's favor and were good at achieving good fortune and prestige.
Finally, Han Yike asked Zhu Yuanzhang to behead the three people in public.
Hu Weiyong and the others turned blue after hearing this.
The atmosphere was tense.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not defend Han Yike, so he pretended to denounce Han Yizhong angrily and handed him over to Jin Yiwei to be imprisoned.
However, nothing happened to Han Xuanzhong after that.
After the Hu Weiyong case, Han Yizhong was released again and went to Shaanxi to supervise officials.
Xinke Yushi not only dared to speak out for justice.
And enforce the law impartially.
Even the royal family members don't take it seriously.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang later chose young Xinke Jinshi as the supervisory censor.
The position of supervisory censor.
In addition to supervising hundreds of officials in the court.
In fact, he is also responsible for patrolling local areas.
Those who go out to inspect the canal transport are regarded as the censor of the canal inspection.
Those who go out on a salt patrol are regarded as salt patrol censors.
When he goes out on patrol, he will be the censor.
There are many patrol censors.
And their stories are the most exciting.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.
The supervisory censor Wang was ordered to patrol Shaanxi, which at that time was the territory of Zhucao, King of Qin.
Zhu Weizhuo relied on his lawless status as a vassal king and forcibly occupied the people's fertile land and property.
The local area was disturbed.
After Wang Yi arrived, he immediately punished King Qin for his illegal behavior.
He also asked the King of Qin to return the fields to the people.
Although the King of Qin was full of complaints, he did not dare to violate Ren Yi.
Because Wang Yi is the censor.
It can be reported directly to the emperor.
If King Qin continues to do evil, he will definitely be included in the book by Wang Yi.
There is another thing about Wang Yi.
When Wang Yi was sent to patrol Henan, he discovered that Zhu Youming, a clan member of Prince Zhao's palace, had recruited desperadoes, and Saint lost all his wealth.
He also attacked Mao Bowen, another censor, left deputy censor of the capital.
As a result, Mao Bowen was dismissed from office.
Wang Yi found out all the evidence of his crime and reported it to Emperor Jiajing.
Soon after, Zhu Youming was stripped of all his titles and thrown into prison.
At present, not all supervisory censors use Xinke Jinshi.
Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't know that Xu Ning, the imperial censor, and Tujie, the censor Zhongcheng, were in cahoots with Hu Weiyong.
However, it was precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang specifically appointed young Xinke Jinshi with a sense of justice as supervisory censors that he was able to check and balance senior officials in the court and local officials.
When Hu Weiyong and his subordinates heard about Han Yizhong's impeachment, their faces turned pale and they immediately stood up to refute.
"This is slander!"
"I have never done such a thing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ironclad evidence presented by the supervisory censor Han Yizhong in silence, with a gloomy expression.
He punished Hu Weiyong's subordinates.
Removed from official position.
Put into prison.
As for Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang only gave a few warnings secretly.
Not punished.
Faced with this situation, Hu Weiyong broke into a cold sweat.
