Chapter 186 The Censor of Huguang Road does not go to Huguang!
The Hanlin Academy was both aristocratic and leisurely. It is said that many Hanlin Academy scholars, because they could not afford the expenses in the capital, or were worried that they would not be embarrassed in the major exams that were held every few years, took leave to return to their hometowns as soon as they were selected, and then found various
There are many excuses for not returning to Beijing. The same is true for Hanlin officials who are editing, reviewing, etc. They can always find excuses as long as they don’t want to go to Dian Mao.
Therefore, since the guild hall was built, Ji Yunfei and Ao Tongchen would invite a group of friends to the guild hall every two or three days to recite poems and write poems. They no longer only went to Taoranting, kilns and temples outside the city as before.
, I am even too lazy to go to a restaurant with a mixed crowd.
Han Xiufeng sent Pan Er away, washed up, had some breakfast, and then went to the temple to burn incense and pay his vows. When he returned to the guild hall, he was surprised to find that Ji Yunfei, who had drank a lot last night, was here again, sitting with a book in his hands.
People in the main hall watched it with gusto.
Han Xiufeng walked into the hall, raised his hands and asked, "Master Ji, what are you looking at?"
Ji Yunfei put down the book, raised his head and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for a few friends. I have nothing to do. If I see a book here, I'll just browse through it."
"It's good to read, I will read more in the future." Han Xiufeng subconsciously glanced at the bookshelf and asked with concern: "Master Ji, how many friends will you have later?"
"You two, didn't you go to the temple early in the morning to fulfill your vows? Changsheng is not here either. I told Lao Yutou that he and Xiao Shandong are helping me prepare the food and drinks for lunch."
"The same goes for explaining to them."
Seeing that the tea in the cup had lost its color, Han Xiufeng was about to get tea leaves to help him make another cup. Pan Erfeng came back from outside in a hurry, crossed the threshold with his clothes in hand, and was about to speak when he saw Ji Yunfei sitting upright.
, was stunned for a moment.
"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! He is sweating profusely from running. Where have he been?" Ji Yunfei asked with a smile.
"Speak, Master Ji is asking you." Han Xiufeng reminded.
Pan Er is so smart, how could he not know what to say and what not to say? Moreover, he made a great discovery this morning. He raised his arm to wipe his sweat and said vividly: "Master Ji, I'm not afraid of your laughter."
, If my young master hadn’t asked me to go to the Fujian Guild Hall to find out where Mr. Huang lives, I wouldn’t have known that the Censor of Huguang Road was also a Beijing official, and I always thought that the Censor of Huguang Road should be in Huguang at ordinary times!”
Mr. Gu once served as the censor, but before coming to Beijing to surrender, Han Xiufeng's relationship with Mr. Gu was not so good. He had no chance to ask about the censor, and Mr. Gu also did not say anything.
After coming to Beijing, he mainly dealt with Ji Yunfei, Ao Tongxian, Qian Junchen, Jiang Haoxuan and other Beijing officials. Except for Huang Zhongyin, who he had met once, Han Xiufeng had never had contact with the imperial censor. More importantly, what kind of officials were there?
Only the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were short of money and could not donate money, so they did not bother to ask about the censor.
Hearing what Pan Er said, Han Xiufeng also felt strange: "Don't the censors of Huguang Road not have to go to Huguang?"
"Hahahaha..." Ji Yunfei had never encountered such a funny thing before, and he almost laughed out loud because of their master and servant's amusement.
Han Xiufeng asked in confusion: "Mr. Ji, why are you laughing?"
Ji Yunfei smiled and waved his hands: "Wait, let me finish laughing first."
"What's so funny about this?"
"It's funny, Zhixing, Zhixing, you are still the head of the guild hall, but you don't even know this. The censor of Huguang Road has to go to Huguang, so does the chief officer of the Sichuan Officials Department of the Ministry of Punishment also have to go to Sichuan? Hahaha
,Killing me……"
Han Xiufeng came to his senses and asked curiously: "So the fifteen censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all Beijing officials like the six ministers. They usually stay in the capital and don't need to go to the provinces for supervision?"
"What do you think?" Ji Yunfei laughed with tears in his eyes.
"I always thought it was the censor who was going on a tour."
"Have you watched too many dramas from the previous dynasty? You also went out on patrol. Do you think the supervisory censor is the same as the patrol censor in the previous dynasty?"
"Isn't it the same?"
"It's different." Ji Yunfei wiped away the tears from laughter and explained: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is located in Gyeonggi, Henan, Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan
And Guizhou's Fifteen Dao Censors. Each Dao Yushi sits in Beijing and oversees the provinces, and not only supervises the officials and government affairs of the Dao. For example, the Shanxi Dao Yushi is not only responsible for supervising Shanxi Dao officials and verifying Shanxi Dao's criminal names, but also inspects
Ministry of War, Hanlin Academy, Sixth Section, Zhongshu Section, Governor's Cangchang, Liang Hall, Datong Bridge and Tongzhou Ercang."
"I said that when Du San filled the vacancy last year, why did the Shanxi Province Censor go to the Military Department to supervise the lottery? It turns out that the Shanxi Province Censor did not have to go to Shanxi!" Han Xiufeng understood as if he was enlightened, but after thinking about it he asked again: "
That’s not right, Master Ji, Master Huang is the censor of Huguang Road, why does he still go to Huguang?”
"He was sent to Huguang on an errand, which is what people often call an imperial envoy. After the errand is done, he will naturally return to Beijing."
"So Mr. Gu has never been to Jiangxi, although he has been a censor of Jiangxi Province."
"No." Ji Yunfei smiled and continued: "During the Yongzheng Dynasty, there were censors to patrol each province. After that, there were no longer censors on a permanent basis. The emperor would dispatch them temporarily when things happened. However, it is not that there are no censors in each province.
The governors of Zhili, Liangjiang and other places generally have the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the right censor of the Duchayuan, and the governors of various provinces generally have the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy censor of the Duchayuan."
"What a shame." Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It's normal not to know. Besides, there are no outsiders here." Ji Yunfei patted his arm, then turned around and asked, "Chang Sheng, why are you looking for Mr. Huang?"
Pan Er calmed down and said hurriedly: "My young master said that Mr. Huang is our fellow villager in Ba County no matter what. I didn't know before that the censor of Huguang Road turned out to be a capital official, and there was nothing we could do about it before the guild hall was built. Now that the guild hall is built,
Then I was sent to ask Mr. Huang to come and have a look and ask him if he would like to move here."
Although Huang Zhongyin, censor of Huguang Province, studied and lived in Ba County since childhood, he was also a scholar in Ba County, a scholar in Sichuan, and a Jinshi in Beijing as a Sichuan scholar, but his ancestral home is Fujian. Sichuan candidates do not take the exam
He is a fellow countryman, and the same is true for the candidates in Fujian. They occupy both ends and neither end, and the situation has always been awkward.
The people in Ba County felt that people from other provinces had taken away their jobs and made money from them, and they hated the merchants from the eight provinces; the gentry in Ba County, especially those who were not even as good as scholars, felt that living in Ba County
Scholars from other provinces in the county seized their seats for students and even candidates, blocking their way forward, so they also hated the merchants from the eight provinces.
The main reason why Mr. Gu and other senior officials and some civil servants were quarrelsome with the Eight Provincial Guild Hall was to fight for the leadership of local affairs. For example, when the Bureau of Public Assessment was set up before, whoever ran it could make a lot of money. Another example is the provinces.
There are group trainings being held, and whoever organizes them can apply for the establishment of a bureau.
