Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading Chapter 725: Fa Xiang Chen Luo, in the name of 0 surname!
The warm morning light is like a mother's palm, stroking every corner of the capital city, driving away all the bleakness in the autumn night. The people who got up early dressed neatly, opened their doors, and took to the streets.
In the past, the booming shouts of the market did not sound, and the man who usually saw the man who got up early to go to work was no longer in a hurry. The door of the restaurant was closed, and the words "closed today" were written on it...
However, the street was densely packed with people.
The rising sun shines on their faces, everyone has a smile on their faces, their eyes fall on the same place, and they seem to be expecting something!
Today, the former Marquis of Wu, and now Duke Anguo, will officially accept the appointment of the court and take over as the minister of law!
The three quarters of the hour are the auspicious hours.
One after another melodious bells sounded, and the bells swayed and fell into everyone's ears. The Great Xuanyun bell rang for the fortune of the country.
The bell chimes eight times, which means that a new prime minister is born. From then on, the Daxuan court has set up another pillar to support the sky; from now on, the people of Daxuan will have another good prime minister to protect the country!
As the fortune bell roared, the official seals in the hands of officials from all over the Daxuan flew out on their own, hanging above the yamen, the azure light was shining brightly, and the melodious bell sounded at the same time.
Spread the word to the world!
"The fortune bell will ring eight times, shaking the luck, and the luck of the human race will make the sound of chanting poems as a blessing. I don't know which poem of the human race can be inspired by Duke Ang to send blessings?" In a study in Zhongjing, A great scholar caresses the beard.
Another great Confucian smiled softly and said, "Blessings of luck, half hymns are one level, sages' poems are one level, and Confucius' teachings are another level."
"Although An Guogong has made great contributions to the human race, he is still young and has no previous experience of being an official. The old man thinks that the poems and poems he will use this time are at most sages' poems."
"It's already very good." The third great Confucian nodded and said, "When Yan... Wensheng took office in Wenchang Pavilion, he inspired the gift of the sage Qu Lingjun."
"It's starting!" The last great Confucian said, "Silence!" The study suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, the bell rang for the eighth time, and after the bell, the sound of wind and thunder sounded again.
In the sound of wind and thunder, I can vaguely hear the chanting of countless poems, although I can't hear it clearly, but it doesn't feel noisy.
It seems to be a long time, and it seems to be just a moment, the sound of this ten thousand poems chanting stopped abruptly, and then, a magnificent chanting sound sounded, falling into everyone's ears- /
"Solitary and dry, in the outskirts of Jun. There are simple silks, and four good horses. How can you help the son of this young man?"
"Solitary and dry, in the capital of Jun. One of the Susi group, five of the good horses. The son of the young man, why give it?"
"Solitary and dry Jing, in the city of Jun. Susi wished him, good horse Liu Zhi. The son of the scorpion, why tell him?"
At the same time, in the sky above the palace, a phantom appeared. It was a long bamboo branch with a white oxtail tied to it. At this time, it was driven by air and fluttered without wind.
""Qianqi"! It turned out to be "Qianqi"!"
In the study, the great scholar who said that Chen Luo most inspired the sage's poetry suddenly stood up and said in surprise: "This...this is the poetry of the people!"
The other great scholars also looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This poem, whose full name is "Book of Songs, Wanfeng, Gancha", tells the story of the ancient kings visiting the sages.
This is the "Book of Songs"! One of the five classics in the foundation of Confucianism!
The Book of Songs was written when the ancient human race was weak, when the war against the lich had just ended, the power of the demon race was in full swing, and the human race scattered all over the world in the form of tribes, still struggling to find a way to become stronger.
It was in those years that the human race used its bravery and optimism to collide with the fire of literature, forming a series of poems that have been circulated.
Later, when the most holy Confucius traveled around the world, he reorganized these ancient poems and compiled them into the "Book of Songs", and called it the poetry of the people!
"I haven't heard that when the blessing of luck will inspire the poems of the people, do you know the precedent?" The Great Confucian looked at the others, and all the Great Confucians shook their heads slightly, only one Great Confucian thought for a while, hesitantly said—
"In the ancient books of Xiajia, it was recorded that when the dynasty was established and Confucius was the most holy teacher, there were three hundred hymns of heaven."
All the Confucians took a deep breath.
They thought they had overestimated Chen Luo as much as possible, but in the end they underestimated it.
"It's enlightenment!" said a great scholar, "Chen Luo's way is the way of the people. Although he does not enter the officialdom, he is still in the heart of the people. Now that luck is blessed, and the people of the world want to follow, this inspires the people. Poems of Wan Min."
"It's amazing..."
When the great Confucians heard the words, they nodded and looked again at the phantom of the hanging banners above the imperial city, with admiration and admiration in addition to envy.
With such luck, who would dare to say that he is young!
At this time, it is clear that the palace was also shocked by this unprecedented poem of the people, causing the entire Daxuan to see that the canonization that should have been performed after the blessing poem was half a moment too late.
Until the dry phantom in the sky dissipated, a voice finally sounded again and passed the world through the official seal.
"There is heaven above and Li Shu below. Today we witness together that Emperor Ye Heng of Daxuan pays tribute to Duke Anguo Chen Luo as the Dharma minister of Daxuan. Demarcate the boundaries with the law, protect our human race, and lead the mountains and rivers!"
When these words fell, I saw a phantom with a crown on the top of the palace. At the same time, the phantom was also projected on the Great Profound through the official seal.
The crowned figure stretched out his arms and folded his hands, and bowed deeply! At the moment when this figure bowed down, all the people in the world, all the people in the office of the Great Xuan official, also bowed at the same time.
The only officials who can still stand at this time are the three ministers, the minister of letters, the minister of politics, and the minister of war.
The king bows down and the officials bow their heads. This is the most glorious moment of being a minister. But at the same time, it is the king who has divided the burden of the world and placed it on your shoulders. Set an example for the well-being of the people.
Eight times of fortune bellsBlessings of luckThe king pays respects to the prime minister. These are the three rites for the new prime minister to take office. A person can only receive it once in his life. Therefore, a person who changes phases like Han Qingzhu does not need to re-enroll. Do this canonization.
At this point, the canonization ceremony has come to an end. The newly appointed Daxiang does not need to return to worship now. How well he will do in the future will naturally have a great reputation in the hearts of the people.
But although the canonization is over, another ceremony has just begun.
I saw the place where the Oriental Wenchang Pavilion in the Central Capital City was located, and a line of Wenhua rose into the sky. Zhou Zuofeng led dozens of great scholars on the blue sky, holding classics in their hands, and saluted: "Wenchang Pavilion, congratulations on the return of the law!"
In the south of the central capital, the main hall is shining brightly, and Han Qingzhu led dozens of great scholars in the main hall holding the Tianshu book of Daxuan, and saluted in unison: "Congratulations to the main hall!"
The congratulations paused for a moment, only to hear a group of cavalry in iron armor quickly entering from the north gate in the north of the central capital city, the flag of the mighty mansion fluttering in the wind.
The cavalry team pulled the reins at the same time, shook hands into fists, knocked on the armor, and shouted—
"The soldiers of Wanren Mountain, ordered by the army, galloped eight thousand miles, and congratulated the minister of law on his return to the throne on behalf of Weiwufu!" They didn't have a thunderous tongue, but the voice also spread throughout the whole of Zhongjing.
After these three congratulations, the voices of the common people also resounded in the central capital. "Seven-rank martial artist Zhou Yong, congratulations on the return of Faxiang!" "Confucian scholar Han Qi, congratulations on the return of Faxiang!"
"Little girl Cuiyu, congratulations on the return of Faxiang!" "Old man Li Chengyu, congratulations on the return of Faxiang!"
The congratulations from the common people gathered together into a glorious public opinion and fell into the imperial city.
At this moment, Chen Luo stood in the Changming Hall, listening to the voices of the people from the corridors of the Changming Hall, and his heart moved slightly.
Ye Heng smiled kindly. He looked at Chen Luo and said softly, "Chen Aiqing, please respond." Chen Luo nodded, turned around, and walked out of the Changming Palace.
He stood outside the Changming Hall, took a deep breath, then clasped his fists with both hands, and said in a loud voice, "True Prime Minister, thank you all!"
After speaking, Chen Luo bowed deeply towards the direction outside the imperial city!
"In the forty-seventh year of the Zhenghe period of the Daxuan calendar, on the third day of the eleventh lunar month. Chen Luo, Duke Anguo, took over as the minister of law in the Changming Palace, and sang the poem "Qianqi", which set a precedent for the luck of the people's poetry; the people congratulated him The sound echoed around the beams for a day, resounding throughout the imperial city. It was a blessing to see it in person!"
Two people were drinking tea at a tea stall ten miles outside of Zhongjing, which attracted the attention of passers-by.
One of these two people looked like she was in her forties or fifties, but her body was too strong, like a hill, with black birthmarks on her eyes, and the one sitting opposite her was a The person wearing a hat should look like a young girl.
Of course, that's not what makes them stand out.
In this capital city, fish and dragons are mixed, and naturally, those young masters who are self-reliant are indispensable. Among them, there are some young masters of the third rank. Seeing the heart of hunting, I have to look at the appearance of the woman under the hat.
Now, it has been buried in the ground behind the woman, only a head is exposed. Later, the guards of this young man came to rescue... they were also buried. "Sister, your little brother took office, we Why don't you go find him?"
Ling Chuchu's voice came from under the bamboo hat. "Ma'am, I can't go now!"
"We have to hide and see which turtle is trying to trick the little brother." "Then..." Ling Chuchu squeezed her fist: "Buried together!"
When the healthy woman heard the words, she suddenly realized: "I know, this time, we are going to learn from the seventh." "Yes!" Ling Chuchu nodded, "This time, we are fighting with wits!"
After finishing the canonization and dispersing the dynasty, Chen Luo took his subordinates and returned to the headquarters of the Bias Division in the west of China and Beijing.
As Ye Dafu said, that Gongsun Bo was indeed a little arrogant, and he was just a normal salute to himself. After returning to the biased place, he said that he was going to handle official business and left alone. It was Wu Yongzhi, who was very enthusiastic and brought Chen Luo along with him. He walked up and down the bias office, and let those bias office officials who were not qualified to go to the court met with Chen Luo.
"Chen Xiang, you still need to go to the Six Gates and the Prison Department. The Bias is mainly the residence of the Kaifeng House, and the two places are not built in the same place as the Bias."
Chen Luo shook his head: "It's not necessary for now. In two days, let their chief seal officer come to see me."
Having said that, Chen Luo walked into the Dharma Hall and sat on the throne.
"Vice-Chancellor Wu, I'm not bothering the two masters about anything, please transfer all the files of bias officers to me." Chen Luo said lightly, "The files of all current and proposed bias officers, I want to."
Wu Yongzhi was slightly taken aback: "All the official files?"
Immediately, Wu Yongzhi said suspiciously: "Prime Minister, there is a bias in the upper and lower ranks, and there are no less than 30,000 officials with good rank. If you count the six-door licensed catchers, it is estimated to be 100,000. You all Want to see?"
"Yes, all of them!" Chen Luo smiled and nodded, "I read quickly, so it's worth it to spend some time."
Wu Yongzhi saw that Chen Luo had a firm attitude, and he didn't ask any more questions. He saluted and went out to make arrangements. Chen Luo took a deep breath and began to close his eyes to rest.
Soon, an official came in with a thick file, followed by another, and put down a stack of files... Repeating this several times, soon the files in the Fa Xiangzhengtang became a pile of files. Hill.
Chen Luo was not in a hurry. He took a stack from the air and read it...
When he was in Lin'an before, Ye Dafu told himself about all kinds of biases, and Chen Luoman thought it was enough. But the scene of being sealed today made him greatly touched.
Although he knew the importance of Dharma, he still underestimated the position of Dharma.
Especially when the people's congratulations sounded in the Changming Hall, he really realized the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
The official file is to know that each of the following orders is carried out by those people; who are their names, what are their backgrounds, how have they been evaluated over the years... It's not a good idea to meet everyone one by one. Reality, but as a dharma sign, you should know the position of every official in your own system, just like a martial artist needs to know the position of every acupoint in your body.
I heard Yan Baichuan say that although His Majesty does not have the talent for reading through, since he ascended the throne, he has clearly remembered the name, background, expertise and transfer experience of each subject, and even the family members.
The principle of integration into the system is to know people first, and then know things.
In the face of the mountain-like file, although it was troublesome, Chen Luo didn't dare to be careless. He didn't worry about his hard work, but only worried about his omissions, which would affect the suffering of one side of the people.
If it is easy to be an official, it is not easy for the people; only when it is difficult to be an official can the life of the common people be successful.
Fortunately, Chen Luo's spirit is soaring now. By chance, there are two dew crystals blackmailed from the Qinglong Emperor, which also have the special effect of dispelling the exhaustion of the spirit, so this file was read quickly, and they are all memorable.
For several days, Chen Luo sat upright in the hall of the Dharma minister and read the files. The popularity of the new Dharma minister gradually dissipated in Beijing. Instead, it was about whether Chen Luo would have time to write "Journey to the West" after he became the minister of law. "Worry. Fortunately, Chen Luo had already made arrangements for Mastiff Lingling to send out the chapters and chapters of "Pingdingshan Chapter" that he had already written, which also made the two clans feel at ease.
However, on this day, when Chen Luo was almost a tenth away from reading all the files, the first **** Hou An suddenly came, saying that it was a memorial in the court about bias. Your Majesty asks Chen Luo to go to the palace to deal with it.
When Chen Luo heard Hou An's words, he closed the file in his hand and walked out of the hall for the first time in several days.
"Eunuch Hou, what happened? It's about my bias, how come I have no news at all." Sitting on the carriage to the imperial city, Chen Luo asked with a frown.
It's not surprising that there is a report on the bias in the court, but it has reached the point where it needs to be dealt with by the court, then this matter is definitely not small. But since it is not small, it is not right that I didn't get a little bit of wind beforehand. /
It's not right!
When I contacted me again, I just took office. Chen Luo squinted his eyes, feeling that he was bumped into by someone who was not afraid of death.
"It seems that I have been reading the dossier these days, which makes people think that I have found an opportunity." Chen Luo thought to himself.
Seeing Chen Luo's unhappy expression, Hou An hurriedly said, "That's what happened."
"In recent days, many censors have been thrown into similar packages, which are full of petitions for some cases! Those petitions describe the case very clearly, and many of them are accompanied by key evidence and testimony ."
Chen Luo heard the words and asked, "Are these cases related to my bias?"
Hou An nodded: "Some sued Liu Sengmen for abusing their power and fabricated evidence to arrest people at will; some sued the Kaifeng government for accepting bribes and arbitrarily sentenced the case; even more sued the officials of the Prejudice Division and the local chief officials for protection. of."
"Basically every case has something to do with bias!" "The censor has started to make a fuss with these things." Listening to Hou An's remarks, Chen Luo's face became more and more gloomy.
"Hey, Mr. Guo, don't worry too much." Hou An changed his name and comforted, "You have never been in officialdom before, so you don't know what's going on here."
"Generally speaking, Daxuan's official governance is still clean. It's just that Daxuan's people are counted in hundreds of millions of trillions. There are not millions of herdsmen officials, but 500,000 or 600,000."
"Even if one percent has a problem, that's five or six thousand people." "So it's normal to have these cases."
"This kind of thing didn't need you to come forward. It's just that today, for some reason, the rules of the biased place came to the fore, so I came to invite you to the temple."
Chen Luo was taken aback, is it related to Jizhi?
"Exactly, the officials who were accused of committing crimes this time are all from poor families." Hou An nodded and said, "Vice Chancellor Wu and the imperial censor argued a few words, and somehow the topic fell on the poor family. body."
"The imperial censors believed that 'you know the etiquette if you have the facts, and you know the honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing'. The children of the poor family are limited by their family background and have a lot of needs. When there is a need, there is a desire, and it is easy to have a desire. make mistakes."
"Therefore, it is suggested that underprivileged children should not be in key departments such as the biased office. So I asked for a petition to increase the family capital limit before taking office in the biased office."
"That's why His Majesty has issued an decree to summon you to the palace." Chen Luo nodded, his face gradually softened.
He is not arrogant enough to think that everyone will follow him when he takes office. He can guess the purpose of Yan Baichuan's gang, but the head of the big family can't guess?
When it comes to interests, there will naturally be actions. Each has its own position.
My position as a dharma sign is bound to be challenged. After listening to Hou An's words, Chen Luo understood. It turned out that the first knife of the gang was to slash on the poor man in the biased place.
At this time, the carriage passed the palace gate and headed towards the Changming Hall. Chen Luo closed his eyes and began to think.
The re-use of the poor family in the biased place started in the late Song Ci, and in the hands of Cheng Nansong, this rule was carried forward, which led to the fact that in the biased place, the number of children from the poor family is far greater than the number of children from aristocratic families.
Before, they didn't do it because they didn't care, anyway, bias wouldn't hurt them. But now, the situation is different.
The carriage stopped, Hou An opened the curtain for Chen Luo, and Chen Luo walked down. Inside the Changming Hall.
The officials from the Department of Prejudice and the officials from the Censor's Office glared at each other, and you argued fiercely with each other. Ye Heng on the dragon chair looked drowsy.
At this time, Chen Luo appeared in front of the Changming Palace. He stepped over the high threshold in front of the palace gate and walked in.
The moment Chen Luo appeared in front of the Changming Hall, the hall instantly became quiet.
Chen Luo didn't squint, walked through the officials step by step, walked to the front, and bowed to Ye Heng: "I have seen Your Majesty!"
Ye Heng seemed to wake up now and smiled: "Chen Aiqing is here, it's good to come, is everything clear?"
Chen Luo nodded: "Hou Shoufeng told the minister on the road." Ye Heng waved his hand: "Then you can also talk about it." Chen Luo smiled lightly: "Yes!"
After speaking, Chen Luo first turned around, looked at the officials in the bias office, and said coldly: "The bias officer is responsible for maintaining order in the hall. What kind of decency do you have to shout like this? Stand back for this photo!"
Although Chen Luo is free and easy on weekdays, he is in a high position and has a lot of killings. Now he has a serious face and has his own majesty.
When the officials at the Prejudice Office heard the words, one by one, they returned to their positions in the Changming Palace. Only the deputy minister, Wu Yongzhi, still blushed with anger and said, "Zhuguo..."
Chen Luo raised his hand, interrupted Wu Yongzhi, and then looked at the figure in the head of the censor: "Where did the truth see you?"
When the imperial censor heard the words, he cupped his hands and said, "Xu Qian, the fifth-rank censor of the chasing wind, had the honor to observe the ceremony when the minister of law established the military court in the past."
Chen Luo nodded slightly, and then said: "Where are the files of those crimes? I want to see it."
Xu Qian looked at Ye Heng, Ye Heng nodded, Censor Xu Qian patted the storage bag on his body, and two large boxes appeared in front of Chen Luo.
"Pillar country, it's all here."
Chen Luo stepped forward, picked up a piece of paper and looked at it. After reading one, he picked up another...
For a while, there was silence in the Changming Hall, and everyone was waiting for Chen Luo to read the paper.
Fortunately, Chen Luo read quickly. He read the contents of the two wooden boxes in about half an hour before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Zhu Guo..." Xu Qian saw that Chen Luo had finished reading, and said, "After reading this, do you think there is still a problem with my proposal?"
"Officials have power, and they can make money. But this way of making money can also have major and minor harms. The biased department is in charge of the judgment of life and death. It is a key department, and it is not appropriate to reuse the poor."
"Xiaguan understands that this statement is to overturn a boatload of people with a single stick, and there must be honest and sincere officials among the children of the poor family."
"However, today is a good official, tomorrow is a good official, maybe the day after tomorrow will change." "It is true that children of noble families also have this problem."
"But the ability of underprivileged children to resist temptation, or the cost of enticing underprivileged children to give up morality, is lower than that of wealthy and noble children. There is no doubt about that."
"Xiaguan thinks that in such a crucial department as the biased office, it is stricter, and it is responsible for the world and the people!"
Chen Luo shook his head slightly: "There are noble families, there are also descendants, and there are different families. Not every disciple of the noble family is the real one, who has enough food and clothing."
"This is the first one. The second is that officials are degenerate, is it just money? No, four words: do what you like!"
"If you love money, I will send you money; if you love wine, I will send you fine wine; if you love beauty, I will search for you."
"How can one isolate desire if one's resources are limited?"
"Thirdly, have you ever thought that the funds are limited to one out, and from now on, everyone will be ashamed of the poor."
"What? Do you have a way to make everyone in the world become a noble family?" Xu Qian was stunned, and then said: "But..."
"It doesn't have to be!" Chen Luo waved his hand, "I think you are right, and the rules of bias must be changed!"
When Chen Luo's voice fell, everyone looked at Chen Luo suspiciously. He had denied it for so long before, but now he said he would change it. What kind of medicine is this Zhuguo selling in the gourd?
And Chen Luo looked at the censors in front of him with a relaxed expression on his face.
In the Great Xuanzhi, the censor is classified as an official, and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Four Phases. Hearing things, whether it is a hundred officials or a market, as long as they feel it is necessary, they will raise it at the court meeting.
Just looking at them and the two large boxes of cases, he finally understood what he was aware of when he heard Ye Dafu talk about bias in Lin'an.
From this, he also knows how to solve today's game.
Chen Luo turned around and saluted Ye Heng: "Your Majesty, this minister also thinks that the rules of the biased place really need to be changed."
Ye Heng sat up straight: "Tell me in detail."
"Yes!" Chen Luo said, "I am biased, I am in charge of the judiciary, law enforcement, and legislation, but who will supervise? It is the lack of supervision that makes so many officials lose their minds."
Having said that, he looked at the two wooden boxes again: "I am biased against internal officials as a traitor, and there are often only three ways to be found."
"One is the people's injustice; the second is the censor's complaint; the third is the internal report.""The minister believes that these three paths are not appropriate!""These are all accidental and full of uncertainty."
"The Department of Bias needs a department that enforces the power of supervision! It needs to be used to scare people's greed."
"This department, parallel to Yifa HallKaifeng HouseSix Gates, is responsible for supervision."
"In addition, officials are prone to collusion between the Six Gate Trial and the Kaifeng Mansion Trial. The minister intends to let this new department intervene."
"The six doors will submit the results of the trial to the department, and the department, as the plaintiff, will file a lawsuit to Kaifeng House."
"In this way, you can supervise the trial process of each case and participate in the entire trial process."
"The Yifa Tang is the supervisor of this department."
"In this way, for my biased officials, it's like a sword on the head to warn them, don't stretch your hand, you will be caught!"
After listening to Chen Luo's statement, the officials immediately talked about it.
Good guy, when a new official takes office, you should adjust the staff at most. Are you directly descending on a large department?
However, this new department sounds very powerful, and the positions in it can be planned. After all, even the demon clan now know that following An Guogong, there is meat to eat!
At this time, Ye Heng was also lost in thought. It's interesting!
This petition seems to be that Chen Luo found a cage for the power of the biased office, but Ye Heng quickly thought, what if this power of supervision spreads to the officials?
For such a department, it is too wasteful to just stare at the bias!
Well, this relaxed authority can be given to Chen Luo as a reward. Hey, help me to do things, the qualification for doing things is still a reward.
And I helped you strengthen the dharma, shouldn't you help me strengthen the emperor? Well, it's not a loss! But...
Ye Heng looked at Chen Luo and sighed: "Chen Aiqing, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish."
"A new yamen of this level needs to use a lot of luck and power to cast the official seal, and at the same time, it needs the approval of the people before it can become a permanent department!"
"Nowadays, the demon job still needs a lot of luck, and I'm afraid I won't be able to support it for a while." Chen Luo: ( ̄へ ̄)Stingy!
You are just reluctant to pay for my dream. How about a ghost job, order me? Believe it or not, I won't let you stamp it in the future.
So, Chen Luo squeezed out a confident smile and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry." "The problem of the power of heaven, the minister will solve it." The eyes of the ruler and minister looked at each other, and they instantly reached a tacit understanding. .
Ye Heng smiled: "If that's the case, then I'll be right!" "What name does Aiqing plan to name this department?"
Chen Luo had a serious face: "Procurator... No, the Supreme Court! The people of Daxuan all have the Court!" Don't ask, because you are afraid of review!
During the next day, Chen Luo sat on the returning carriage, and immediately sent a blue bird to Dongcang City, asking Luo Hongnu to rush to Zhongjing with the Dongcang Theatre Troupe.
For that story, I need their help!
After sending the message to the Blue Bird, Chen Luo closed his eyes again, and his soul floated to the dreamland flower forest...
