After returning from a walk around Baigongyuan, Zhu Youxiao told Chen Hongdao: "Go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and bring me Yu Maoheng, the censor of Youqiandu."

Chen Hong said quickly: "I'll go right away, slave." After saying that, he turned around and ran out.

Looking at Chen Hong's back, the smile on Zhu Youxiao's face slowly faded away.

This Yu Maoheng, the censor of Youqiandu, was actually the person selected by Zhu Youxiao to succeed Zou Yuanbiao.

To put it bluntly, it was Zhu Youxiao who wanted this person to take over the Procuratorate.

You must know that the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is very important. It is the supervisory department of the imperial court, and its role is unquestionable.

Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Metropolitan Procuratorate in order to make the Metropolitan Procuratorate the eyes and ears of the emperor. To put it bluntly, the purpose was to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervise all officials for him.

But later everyone knew about it, and the Procuratorate changed its tune.

The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to pay attention to the emperor's participation in the performance, desperate for fame, and the whole atmosphere was turned into a mess.

Especially after the Donglin Party came to power, the Metropolitan Procuratorate became the base camp for these trolls.

This time Zhu Youxiao took them down, so the Metropolitan Procuratorate naturally wanted to replace them with their own people.

This Yu Maoheng is Zhu Youxiao's chosen successor.

Now that Wei Zhongxian has started, he can also start here. To put it bluntly, he can arrange people.

Yu Maoheng, whom Zhu Youxiao knew well, was named Chiguo and was from Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province. In the 20th year of Wanli's reign, he became a Jinshi, was appointed magistrate of Yongxin County, and was promoted to censor.

At that time, due to the construction of the main hall, mining tax envoys were sent to various places, and they were extremely arrogant. Yu Maoheng wrote in a memorial: "Instead of harassing the common people and asking taxes for chickens and pigs, it is better to tell the people of the world clearly, slightly increase the land tax, and jointly sponsor the main hall project. Now avoid

Making a pretense of increasing taxes is actually a way of raking in the benefits, and the harm is ten times greater than increasing taxes."

Because of violating the imperial edict, Yu Maoheng was suspended from salary for one year.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to use him because he saw this incident.

This man is a bit interesting, and Zhu Youxiao likes his views on taxation.

Taxes can be changed, but private taxes cannot be paid with imperial power.

Zhu Youxiao saw here his defense and persistence of the system. This person can be cultivated, but I don't know what he thinks about the taxation of officials and gentry together.

But it doesn't matter now, you can check it out first, and then replace it if it's not suitable.

Life in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not easy right now. It can be described as panicked. Everyone is afraid that this case will affect them.

So when Chen Hong arrived, he attracted the attention of the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This time the whole thing revolves around the Metropolitan Procuratorate. From the initial case of framed Xiong Tingbi to the later discovered case of forming a clique for personal gain, everything started from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It can be said that rumors are flying everywhere in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now, and no one knows what the truth of the matter is.

Some people said that those people had accepted bribes and that they colluded with the border generals and deserved their current situation; some people said that everything was framed by Dongchang and they were fabricated out of thin air to kill them.

There are various theories. At first, everyone was not too panicked when the incident began, but as the situation developed, it became more and more serious. As Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian were suspended and returned home, everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate realized

The situation was not good and everyone started to panic.

Although everyone usually complains about this and that, everyone knows that this is just a way to get promoted. No one really wants to work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a lifetime, and no one really wants to try his best to offend others. Everyone must

It's nothing more than promotion, promotion, promotion.

Now the Metropolitan Procuratorate has encountered such a big incident, and the two big bosses have been suspended. Originally, they had nothing to do with them.

After all, if someone is suspended or dismissed from office, there is no loss for everyone.

Anyway, it's not me, but I still have the opportunity to move up a step. For many people, this is a good thing, because there are usually not many positions available.

But this time the matter was so big that it involved the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate.

If what happened this time is confirmed, then what trust does His Majesty still have in the Metropolitan Procuratorate? They can be said to be the fish in the pond who were affected by the fire at the city gate.

As a result, there was also a split within the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was basically divided into two factions.

The hard-on faction believes that all this is a frame-up by Dongchang, and insists on fighting to the end in order to preserve their reputation and official position.

Opponents believe that those people deserved their death. They colluded with border generals, framed ministers, accepted bribes, and embezzled military pay. They were simply committing heinous crimes. They believe that what the Metropolitan Procuratorate needs to do now is to cut themselves off from them. We are all deceived.

People of this group advocate compromising with His Majesty in order to win His Majesty's favor and keep their official positions.

Neither side could convince the other, so a fierce fight broke out in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although no one has taken this fight outside yet, it is because no one knows what the outcome of the matter will be.

Because Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian were only suspended from office, not dismissed, nor were they charged.

Once things take a turn for the better and these two officials are reinstated, the fate of the opposition can be imagined. Therefore, the opponents dare not do anything about it.

In the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate, the hard-core faction still has the upper hand.

But everyone knows that things will always turn around.

Under such circumstances, His Majesty's personal eunuch Chen Hong came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Anyone who thinks about it with their toes knows that this may be a turning point for this matter.

Everyone is worried and paying attention to Chen Hong's developments.

Chen Hong ignored the other people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and went straight to the duty room of Yu Maoheng, the censor of Youchendu.

No one expected that His Majesty's personal eunuch would actually go to find Yu Maoheng.

Although Yu Maoheng is considered one of the big bosses in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in fact everyone knows that he has been pushed to the margins.

Although no one said it on the surface, everyone knew in their hearts that the Donglin Party was now in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This was forming a party for personal gain.

Yu Maoheng is not from the Donglin Party, and his status in the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be imagined. No one expected that he would show up at this time.

Is he going to be reused by His Majesty?

Everyone knew what this meant. Once Yu Maoheng was re-employed, it would mean the complete collapse of the Donglin Party in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Everyone was paying attention to the conversation between Chen Hong and Yu Maoheng, and everyone wanted to know what they said.

Chen Hong didn't seem to mean to carry anyone behind his back. When he saw Yu Maoheng, he smiled and cupped his hands.

Although he didn't know why the emperor summoned him, Chen Hong could tell that the emperor valued Yu Maoheng very much.

I have no previous interactions with him, which means that although I have no friendship with him, I don't have any hatred. This way, there is room for friendship.

Chen Hong knew what Wei Zhongxian wanted to do.

Um... there was a mistake... I'm sorry... I've corrected it now. Please add it to your collection, recommend it to me, give it to me, and ask for a book list! Your encouragement is the hope of visiting Sanjiang every week! ()
