It is very rare in today's imperial court for a governor like Dou Kuan, the governor of a lower state, to directly take charge of one department and become the main official. According to the past practice, the main officials of the seven departments are either replaced by officials at the level of minister of each department, or from each department.

When did the governor or chief historian of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion ever do this?

However, even if the ministers had objections, they had to endure it. The imperial decree conferring the official was written by the emperor himself, which shows that not only the prince admired Dou Kuan, but more importantly, the emperor also thought highly of him. It would be useless for anyone to be jealous of such favors.

The most surprising ones are Fufeng County Duke Li Cong and his son. Although they are all members of Empress Taimu's clan, their concubines are incomparable to Dou Gui. Since the Zhenguan Dynasty, he has been idle at home.

This son has only reached the rank of fifth or sixth rank, so his career is in decline.

The bastard who he looked down upon most in the past has suddenly become the Minister of the Ministry of Integrity, one of the seven departments. This makes him a little bit unacceptable in his heart. Who in the court doesn't know that it is the second Yamen of the East Palace, without the prince nodding, thinking

Don't even think about it, besides, it is impossible for someone other than a confidant to take up an important position there.

If you have done many evil deeds, you will inevitably be afraid of retribution. This bastard has always had the character of revenge and kindness. Now that he has become prosperous, there is no guarantee that the old account from more than 20 years ago will be uncovered. According to a book of ministers,

The important officials of the imperial court took revenge on the declining Fufeng County government, which was a disaster...

In Taiji Hall, today is the last court meeting before the Shangyuan Festival. The emperor, who has greatly improved from his illness, is sitting steadily on the dragon chair as usual, listening to Fang Du and other prime ministers' summary of this year's political affairs in the court. Then.

, the emperor who was satisfied with everything then moved down the rewards to the ministers, especially those who had meritorious service, so that they could get good luck during the Chinese New Year. However, he was afraid of the revenge of his concubine and his son, and wanted to win over the father-son affection when he went to court. Dou

Cong Ze stared intently at his son in front of him.

At this moment, a trumpet sounded in the class, and he said: I have my own memorial, which caused all the officials in the palace to look sideways. It was under this situation that Dou Kuan walked out unhurriedly and cast a spell on the emperor.

After a salute, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Dou Kuan, Minister of the Ministry of Integrity and Integrity, has a script to write!"

"Shang Shu Dou, according to the custom, today's imperial meeting is mainly when Your Majesty rewards his ministers. If you want to speak, you should wait until you retire. This is the rule. Don't ruin the interest of Your Majesty and everyone. I think you are

A foreign official who comes to Beijing does not know what to do, so I will not impeach you this time. It would be rude for you to stand down!"

Cen Wenwen has always valued rules the most. If you speak according to the book, there is absolutely no problem, and it should be. But what day is it today? The Enshang Dynasty is celebrating. The emperor is dragging his illness. You come out to speak at this time.

, is not more incompetent than Wei Zheng.

In addition, Donggong supports such people to serve as ministers of the Ministry of Integrity in order to increase their influence in various departments of the imperial court. Whether or not corrupt officials are caught has nothing to do with Cen Wenwen, but it is very necessary to suppress him and let him know the depth of the imperial court.

, don’t think that you can do whatever you want in court with the support of Donggong.

After listening to Cen Wenwen's words, Dou Kuan glanced at Li Chengqian who was fiddling with his thumb. When he saw the prince's thumb pointing down, he immediately had an idea in his heart. Then he walked to Cen Wenwen and glanced at Cen contemptuously.

Text at a glance.

What Dou Kuan hates the most in his life is this rule, that rule, what is a rule? The biggest rule is to help the court share the worries. This is also in Taiji Hall, he needs to see what the prince wants. If it were replaced by Henan Road, he would have

He just yelled at me and slapped me in the face. It doesn't matter whether you are a superior or not.

What's wrong with the prime minister, what's wrong with the Shangyuan Festival? They don't care about the life and death of the people during the New Year and the festival. Then the court really agrees with what the prince often said, Zhumen's bones are frozen to death on the road where wine and meat are smelly. This kind of

He would never tolerate this situation.

"Zhongshu Ling, your house is almost ready for the festival!"

"I've made some preparations, what's wrong?" Cen Wenwen looked at him quite unexpectedly and said that he had lost his etiquette. Why did he ask about the new year's goods? There must be something wrong with the person chosen by the prince. Isn't this an inappropriate answer?

Just when Cen Wenwen was confused, Dou Kuan picked out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to the imperial official. He then handed it over and said: "Your Majesty, of course I know that the Shangyuan Festival is a good day for everyone to celebrate.

There are also children, so of course they know what this season means to them.

Just as Prime Minister Cen said, their family, or most of them, are ready to have a family reunion, but what about the people who are in dire straits, with the sky and the earth unable to respond? Your Majesty is not only the father of all the princes, but also the father of the princes.

He is also the father of all peoples in the world.

If they don’t eat enough during the Lantern Festival and don’t have enough clothes to cover their bodies, then even if the delicacies are placed in front of them, it will be like chewing wax! In this case, any rules will not be important. After all, food is the most important thing for the people and the most important thing for the country.

It’s people-oriented!”

After listening to Dou Kuan's words, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but nodded. He spoke clearly and clearly, with a measured advance and retreat. He also did not flatter Shangguan. He always put the people first. It seems that the experience of the state capital in the past twenty years has given him

He has forged a pair of iron bones. With this kind of demeanor, I can rest assured that Gao Ming has a good vision when he is appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Integrity.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I haven't been to court for a few days, so it doesn't matter if you listen. Besides, Dou Qing is right. I am the king and father of all people, so naturally I have to put them first. If the people are not honest, then I

Can you still enjoy the offerings safely?"

Yes, the emperor said so, so Cen Wenwen could no longer persist on the grounds of etiquette. Then he glared at Dou Kuan, snorted coldly, and stood back in the class. Dou Kuan, on the other hand, was even more trouble-making.

He saluted Cen Wenwen again, which made Cen Jingren in the class even more embarrassed. He cursed in his heart: The people in the East Palace really don't have any good things. Isn't this a big label for myself, saying that I am a big bully?

It's not a big court meeting, I have to argue with you, huh.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the imperial court is like a human body. If you want to be like an arm, you must ensure that the officials are governed cleanly, especially the low-level officials. After all, they are closest to the people and are the implementers of the imperial decrees. We cannot allow a small group of officials to govern

People with bad character ruin the impression of the imperial court in the minds of the people."

"Although I have not been in office for a long time, I have considerable experience in dealing with corruption among petty officials. Through some anonymous reporting letters, I interviewed Jinyang County Magistrate Yu Zhen, Chunhua County Magistrate Zhang Gu, and Zhengning County Magistrate Li Zhao

, Chongxin County Magistrate Zhang Guan, Huating County Magistrate Wu Xiang and other forty-three officials below the county level.

They ignored the imperial government's policy of not requiring land enclosures, and ignored the policy issued this year that prohibited the purchase of land from the common people at low prices. They used the power of the government to buy land from the people at low prices, and then used their positions to transfer the documents
