Chapter 310 The storm hits

(Happy Mother's Day! May all mothers in the world be safe and happy!)

Wang Kefu's idea was good, and he pulled most of the people into this matter. He wanted to wet his shoes together. When the emperor blamed him, it was difficult to punish him specifically, so he had to let him go. The two quickly formulated a punishment for Jiang Anyi: he would never be punished with the official exemption, and he would be fined 40,000 yuan, and be punished with eighty rods.

The next day, Wang Kefu visited the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. Wu Huaren of the Ministry of Justice was the first to write the Ningbo. Seeing Wang Kefu's punishment, he directly used seals to make matters. After chatting for a few words, Wang Kefu got up and rushed to Dali Temple. Dali Temple Minister Huang Sheng and Wang Kefu both came from aristocratic families and had friendships from generation to generation.

After reading the official documents, Huang Sheng smiled and said, "The county magistrate who is under the seventh rank is worth asking your brother to go there in person. It seems that I hate Jiang Anyi very much. You only need to ask Dali Zheng Du Qing to review this matter. Come and take Lord Wang to find Du Qing."

Huang Sheng's words contained a mystery. He did not ask Du Qing to see him, but asked Wang Kefu to see Du Qing, so he picked himself out. As for how Wang Kefu told Du Qing, he was not clear, and at most he would be in absent. No matter what, Wang Kefu quickly made the official documents with more seals from Dali Temple at Du Qing's place.

When he returned to the Liquor Supervisor, he handed over the official documents to Wei Huaichao. Wei Huaichao had been the chief censor, and the Censorate was handed over to him. Wei Huaichao's people at the Censorate were not very good. He was greeted with a dry smile all the way, with a polite and despicable appearance. Wei Huaichao felt good about himself, thinking that he was a very powerful official, and everyone respected and feared him. He smiled reservedly all the way, and stepped into the official office of the Censorate with his head held high and his chest.

Hearing the footsteps of heavy lifting, Yan Hualou raised his head from behind the case and saw that it was Wei Huaichao, so he unconsciously raised his face on the floor. Then he thought that Wei Huaichao is now a member of the Liquor Prison, no longer his subordinate, and Liquor Prison was also valued by the emperor, so he smiled and said, "Huaichao, is there anything wrong?"

In front of the old boss of Yan Hualou, Wei Huaichao did not dare to take it big, and bowed in a regular manner: "Huaichao has something to report to Lord Yan, please tell me." As he said that, he took out the official documents from Lizhou and submitted the handling decision of the Office of the Management Office.

After reading the official documents from Lizhou, Yan Hualou looked at the handling decision and asked: "This matter is to deal with the law of the supervisor, why go through the Censorate?"

Wei Huaichao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang Kefu thought that he had a slight relationship with Jiang Anyi, and was afraid that people would think that he would avenge his personal revenge. In order to avoid suspicion, he would still ask the "Three Laws" to be jointly issued. Besides, this document was transferred to the Liquor Supervisor for the reason of the Ministry of Justice on the basis of the report of the Tongtu. Huaichao also believed that it would be appropriate to issue it through the "Three Laws" together."

The seals of two families were stamped behind the official document, and Yan Hualou leaned against the back of the chair behind him without making any sound. Unlike the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, the Censorate has its own source of information in prefectures and counties. There are twenty observers scattered in prefectures and counties to observe politics secretly and understand the customs and people's conditions.

Half a month ago, an observer sent a report from Fuluo County from Lizhou. It was completely contrary to the official documents from Lizhou. The report praised Jiang Anyi very much, saying that he eliminated bullies, punished illegitimate officials, and adjusted inferior systems. The county style of Fuluo County was a clean and clear-cut. Compared with the official documents issued by Lizhou County, Yan Hualou believed in his subordinates more.

The appointment and disposal of a seventh-rank county magistrate actually alarmed the "Three Laws" and the Supervisor, which is unusual in itself. Yan Hualou made up his mind and pushed the official document to Wei Huaichao and said: "Huaichao, the Censorate is only responsible for investigation and impeaching officials. As for how to deal with it, it is your business. If you are not in his position and do not plan his affairs, this official document does not want to be in the same office. Huaichao, Jiang Anyi is not an ordinary county magistrate. I advise you to report to the emperor before making a decision. This matter is of great importance and you must be cautious."

Wei Huaichao knew Yan Hualou's temper. Since he had said different tasks, he would never use seals, so he had to say goodbye embarrassedly. When the wind blew outside, Wei Huaichao calmed down. He originally thought that the journey to the Censorate would be very smooth, but he was blocked by Yan Hualou and Wei Huaichao's intention to make profits was much weaker. He sat in the sedan chair and thought carefully about Yan Hualou's words.

Yan Hualouyi, the censor, was born in a gentry. When he was young, he traveled around all directions. He was only thirty years old. However, he was quick and flexible and had great achievements in governing local areas. He was called by the late emperor to serve as a minister and took advantage of his gains and losses. He was very praised for his intentions in the Emperor Jin. He became the young minister of Dali Temple and was famous for his clarification of right and wrong. Shortly after his son ascended the throne, he was promoted to Yan Hualou to be the chief censor, who was in charge of supervision and law enforcement. He impeached several important officials of the Emperor Jin, and he followed them and was recognized by Shi Fangzhenyi as a confidant important official.

Wei Huaichao was the chief censor of the Censorate at the Censorate and naturally knew Yan Hualou. This person was far-sighted and cautious, but he was determined. Once he was determined, he could do his best. Moreover, he had been considering the emperor's heart for more than ten years. Yan Hualou was not going to use seals on the official documents for handling Jiang Anyi, which means that there is a very likely risk in this matter. He was already trapped in it, so how should he get out?

The sedan chair fell swaying in front of the Libao Gate. Wei Huaichao turned out from inside, thinking about it all the way, worried about gains and losses. When he walked into his official office, he saw Wang Kefu walking anxiously waiting for him. Seeing Wei Huaichao, Wang Kefu came forward and asked, "Mr. Wei, has the seal available for the Censorate?"

Wang Kefu's anxiety fell into Wei Huaichao's eyes. Wei Huaichao calmed down a lot and smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, please sit down and listen to me slowly."

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Wang Kefu laughed and said, "Let Brother Wei make a joke. I'll tell you, I want to cure that boy Jiang Anyi and let it go."

"Oh, Lord Yan refused to use seals." Wei Huaichao made Wang Kefu's face change as soon as he spoke, and asked anxiously: "What's going on?"

Wei Huaichao said: "Mr. Yan said that handling officials is not the position of the Censorate, so we should take care of ourselves, and he does not want to get involved."

Wang Kefu did not make a sound for a long time. Wei Huaichao sipped the tea slowly, and the official hall was quiet.

"Old fox", Wang Kefu spoke out and cursed: "I may get into trouble."

Wei Huaichao did not hear it, so he put down the teacup and asked, "Brother Wang, what should I do now?" Wei Huaichao took Wang Kefu's thoughts and dealt with Jiang Anyi. He didn't have to hurry. Everything was based on Wang Kefu, and Wang Kefu would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Sure enough, Wang Kefu said: "It doesn't matter if the Censorate has different offices. There is a prison sentence for the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. Officials under the seventh rank are enough to deal with it. Lord Wei, you can send someone to send the official documents for handling Jiang Anyi to Lizhou and let them do it. By the way, you might as well expedite it, so that you can avoid long nights and many dreams and accidents."

In the afternoon of the same day, the official documents for handling Jiang Anyi were sent to Lizhou for 500 miles in a hurry.

On September 1st, the Minister of Personnel Pan Linfeng of the Ministry of Personnel requested to teach officials the laws of governing officials. The Minister of Rites Guo Congshi Xian's "Seven Laws for Governing Officials" was approved by the emperor, and the Ministry of Personnel issued the "Seven Laws for Governing Officials" to each prefecture and county, and asked the Ministry of Rites to teach it when he was appointed as an official. Chen Chengji, the left prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, issued a report and selected one county in each of the twenty-seven states in the world as a pilot project. The pilot county in Lizhou on the list was Fuluo County.

As soon as the name of Fuluo County was read out, Wu Huaren, Wang Kefu and Wei Huaichao's heads were buzzing, and they understood that the official documents sent a few days ago were kicked to the iron plate. This time, they were afraid that they would hurt others but instead of themselves. Shao Yuantu, the doctor of the high school entrance examination, was immediately scared and fell softly to the ground.

In the court, the censor in the palace corrected all the officials to lose their moral character. When he saw Shao Yuantu fall down, he thought he had an acute illness and quickly stepped forward to help him to take him down the hall. After dragging him a few steps, Shao Yuantu woke up. If he went down to the hall and waited for Secretary Pan to return to the yamen to deal with it, his doctor would probably not be able to do it.

At that time, he was excited and pushed away the censor, climbed to the ground, and replied loudly: "I, Shao Yuantu, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, has a memorial report."

The doctor of the examination was a fifth-rank official, standing at the end of the court line. Shao Yuantu’s fallen stone was really seen on the imperial throne, but this was a trivial matter, and he didn’t care. He didn’t expect that the person who fell to the ground would have a follow-up.

Shi Fangzhen was displeased and shouted, "Come and write a copy."

Shao Yuantu rolled and climbed to the imperial stairs and kowtowed, saying, "I heard from the emperor that I received a letter from Lizhou four days ago. The report said that Jiang Anyi, the magistrate of Fuluo County, was disregarded by the crimes of human life, fish and meat, extortion, etc. As usual, the magistrate of Jiang Anyi has been removed from his post as the magistrate of Jiang Anyi."

Shi Fangzhen was stunned. Unexpectedly, there was another incident. He learned from the "Fuluo Diary" sent by Jiang Anyi that he killed the evil official Zhang Putian and detained Su Guoxing, the head of the house. His father intended to kill Jiang Anyi in front of the county government to force Jiang Anyi to release him. Shi Fangzhen praised Jiang Anyi for his courageous behavior in front of the prince, but he did not expect that someone would use this to defile him. As for extortion, Shi Fangzhen did not believe it at all. How much profitable is Jiang Anyi's perfume, and he can give 30% of the royal concubine for free. Will he still be greedy for hundreds of taels of silver? Isn't this a joke?

Seeing that Shi Fangzhen did not make any sound, the ministers thought the emperor was furious. After Shao Yuantu finished speaking, he couldn't even kneel down and directly lied to the ground.

Wu Huaren, the Minister of Justice, gritted his teeth and said, "The Ministry of Justice has also received a document from Lizhou and asked to deal with Jiang Anyi. I thought the matter was reported by Tongtu, so I transferred it to Litutu Supervisor for handling."

Shi Fang was getting more and more surprised. Why did this matter get longer and longer? Could it be that there is something I don’t know. I originally thought it was a small matter, but it was corrected. Now it seems that someone is using Jiang Anyi’s affairs to make a fuss. Thinking of this, Shi Fang’s face turned gloomy and asked, “How did the Liquor Supervisor deal with it?”

Wei Huaichao and Wang Kefu looked at each other, and Wang Kefu shrank behind the people in front of him, clearly not planning to go out. Wei Huaichao had no choice but to report: "With the minister received the official documents transferred from the Ministry of Justice, he discussed with Wang Kefu how to deal with it. Lord Wang said that he had a personal grudge with Jiang Anyi, and was afraid that people would think it was a public revenge, so he suggested that the Liqun and the "Three Laws" jointly sign it."

"What's the result?" Shi Fangzhen asked directly after hearing Wei Huaichao's long-winded words.

"The Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and Liquor Supervisor jointly signed the position of Jiang'anyi County Magistrate, fined 40,000 yuan and 80 sticks, and never used it."

Shi Fangzhen asked with a sneer: "Have you ever tried the Jiang Anyi case again? Wu Huaren, Huang Sheng, Wei Huaichao?"

When Huang Sheng saw the emperor clicking his name, he hurriedly left the work and said, "Jiang Anyi is currently an official from the seventh rank. According to the law, only Dali needs to review it. I received the article on the same day and asked Du Qing to be responsible for the review."

Dali was wronged, and Wang Kefu took the official documents to make him stamp. Can he still go to Mr. Huang to ask him about it? But the court could not give up the superior official, so he had to ask for it: "I am negligent for a moment, and the prefecture submitted the document to the prefecture to follow the instructions."
