Chapter 294 The Right Person
Zhu Biao's juvenile pressure is growing day by day, even though he is still young, no one dares to peep at him. The same is true for the officials of Dali Temple. But in front of the prince, he was no different from a prisoner under trial.
Zhu Biao softly comforted: "Dali Temple will definitely take on great responsibilities in the future, so there must be many tests to go through, but I still advise you to be clean and self-respecting, as long as you are frugal to support Deqin and self-cultivation, the imperial court will promote you in the future. Wouldn't it be better to glorify your ancestors than to receive stolen money and lose sleep at night?"
Everyone’s request has never stood up: "The ministers will bear in mind the teachings of His Royal Highness Chunchun, and they must be frugal to cultivate their nature and improve their morals, and they will spare no effort to be clean and honest in politics!"
Zhu Biao nodded noncommittally: "That's good, as long as you stand upright and don't give in even if you are framed, I will make decisions for you, and you must not be controlled by others because of momentary panic."
"The Minister of Dali Temple stays, and everyone else goes down."
Everyone bowed and retreated, Zhu Biao took a sip of the tea brought by Liu Jin: "I have said so much, what do Yan Qing's family think?"
Yan Donglai thought about it seriously and said: "The minister feels the love and care His Royal Highness has for the minister and the importance he attaches to Dali Temple."
Zhu Biao walked up to him and looked into his eyes. Yan Dongkai naturally didn't dare to look at His Highness the Crown Prince. It was a crime of disrespect, but it was hard for him to dodge if His Highness took the initiative, so he just lowered his eyes.
Zhu Biao said softly: "The style of the government office is very important to the chief executive. If Yan Qing's family has no confidence, they can also say clearly at this time. This Palace will give you a chance to level the Zhongshu Ministry, and the Dali Temple Minister will be handed over to other people."
Yan Donglai lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I am not a person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Your Majesty and Your Highness intend to eliminate the bureaucracy, so I am willing to be a sharp blade that cuts through filth, and I would rather bend than bend!"
Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder and said, "Well said, I hope you can do what you say. Now that Dali Temple has just been established, how about it?"
Yan Donglai: "I heard that there was a case of extortion and extortion of prisoners in the capital prison. The officials of the Criminal Department are deeply involved in it, and it is getting worse and worse. I will definitely impeach this unhealthy behavior. Please order the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the Criminal Department!"
Zhu Biao took a deep look at Yan Donglai, and then went out. This person has a clear mind, he is either loyal or treacherous, let's see what happens.
The main purpose of Zhu Biaolai is to make the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment confront each other. If these two departments collude, there is basically nothing they cannot do in terms of criminal law trials, which will undoubtedly be a major blow to the purge of officials.
The two parties have deep conflicts with each other, so Zhu Biao can safely hand over the case to them. He would rather slow down the trial than allow them to be harmonious.
After leaving Dali Temple, Zhu Biao went to the Ministry of Rites. When he was rectifying the government office, he found a rather interesting person, that is, Daotong, the magistrate of Panyu County who died because of Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia in history. Being filial to his mother, he was recommended as Zanli Lang of Taichang Temple, but now he is thrown into the Ministry of Rites by Zhu Biao.
Although in history this person enforced the law strictly and was not afraid of the powerful, but now we have to meet again. If it is suitable, Zhu Biao hopes that this person can take up the post of imperial envoy. After all, compared with a grassroots cadre, Daming now needs an upright and upright person. imperial envoy.
It was already afternoon at this time, Zhu Biao’s car was parked in front of the ritual department, and the people inside rushed out to greet him. They knew that the prince had gone to Dali Temple, but they never expected that there would be time to come to the ritual department.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly explained: "It's not because the ministers are negligent, but Qin Tianjian has been evading and saying that there is no auspicious day recently, and the auspicious day calculated by the Ministry of Rites cannot be passed by them, so it is delayed."
Zhu Biao frowned when he heard this, and waved his hand to let the rest of the Ministry of Rites go down: "Who is Qin Tianjian?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, it is Fu Qiong, the former Yuan Sitian Supervisor, and I heard that this person has the habit of receiving gift money by calculating auspicious days."
Zhu Biao was amused: "Why, he is going to let the royal family give him a gift?"
The Minister of Rites stroked his beard and smiled: "Of course he didn't dare, but he just took advantage of the fact that the Holy Majesty was busy with state affairs and didn't issue an order, so he wanted to follow..."
Needless to say the rest, Qin Tianjian is also relying on the mountains to eat mountains and rivers, thinking about getting some benefits from the future princess's family, this is also a common practice, even if the princess is not easy to pursue in the future, after all, the good days and auspicious days of the big wedding are all It was calculated by others.
Zhu Biao is too lazy to worry about it. This kind of thing is not too much. After all, it is your wish. Usually, people ask a fortune teller to choose an auspicious day and pay some hard work. As long as there is no rush, Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally think of it. Ordered Qin Tianjian to calculate, who would dare to shirk at that time.
Zhu Biao hates corrupt officials, but it is understandable, not to mention that when the water is clear, there will be no fish: "Let the Qin Tianjian calculate it immediately, and say it is the intention of my palace. If you dare to delay, you will be severely punished."
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites bowed to promise, and Zhu Biao then asked: "How about the Dao Tong who drew your attention, can he be decent?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites replied truthfully: "He is quite honest and upright, but he is not very transparent about the world and the world, so he is not suitable for development in the Ministry of Rites."
What Zhu Biao wants is a person who is upright and unsophisticated: "Call in."
After a while, a thin, middle-aged man walked in. Although he was wearing an official uniform, he looked shabby, which showed that his life was not very good.
Daotong knelt down on the ground in fear. He was just a nine-rank official in the Ministry of Rituals. He really didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to see him. After all, the gap was too great.
Zhu Biao calmly asked him to stand up, and seeing that he was still at a loss, he asked, "You are a Mongolian. Do you have any difficulties after becoming an official?"
Dao Tong breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "His Royal Highness, when the Holy Majesty issued the Northern Expedition, he announced that the Mongols and Semu people who are willing to be subjects are no different from the people of the Central Xia! The skin color and people are all my sons, and they are all talents, and they are promoted together. The minister is able to serve the country because of Lai Tian's grace, and he has never been treated harshly."
Zhu Biao saw the sincerity and sincerity on his face and said: "I see that your life is not very good, and I heard that you are not getting along well with your colleagues. Isn't it because you were excluded?"
Dao Tong shook his head and said: "The poverty in my family is not caused by others, and the discord with my colleagues is also due to my own withdrawn personality. Your Highness should care more about me."
Zhu Biao asked a few more questions to confirm that this person's personality is indeed such, he is upright and withdrawn, and his administrative ability is sky-high, which is what a prefect of a state is expected to be.
