Chapter 401: Tang Zong Becomes Official! Shameless Prince Han!

Latest website:

Faced with a dilemma.

Tang Zong finally chose to resign.

The minister of Dali Temple sadly retired from office and returned home.

In fact, this is also a very helpless thing.

Compared to not being tolerated in the court or not being tolerated in the world, Tang Zong chose this only way to survive.

Tang Zong couldn't do it for him to go against his true feelings and choose to protect these prostitute officials and undermine the fairness and strictness of the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations.

But let him stick to his heart and directly sentence these prostitute officials to death with a cane. He can't do it either, and he can't do it!

Even if one's reputation is damaged, one can still survive in this world.

However, if you offend the Jin gentry in the world, it will not only bring disaster to yourself, but also affect your family members!

Therefore, after Tang Zong hesitated for a long time, he chose to take the initiative to become an official.

This is actually a kind of temptation.

The reason why Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu did this was simply to avenge Chen Gongfu and Jie Gongbao.

This time he returned to Beijing in anger and sealed the imperial capital of Jinling and even sealed the Prince's Palace in the East Palace. It was obvious that he wanted to carry out a major purge.

Therefore, Tang Zong wanted to test the bottom line of His Highness the King of Han.

He took the lead in launching an attack against himself, definitely because of the Chen Gongfu case.

In this case, if you take the initiative to resign, you can find out something.

If Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu approves his resignation, it proves that his murderous intention is not too serious, and the civil servants and gentry still have a way to live.

However, if the Prince of Han refuses his resignation and makes a fuss about the law of abolition and insists on killing himself, then the situation will be serious.

The King of Han Zhu Gaoxu is determined to bloodbath the entire civil servants and gentry!

Fortunately, His Highness the King of Han did not kill himself, and he did not even remove himself from his fame!

When he thought of this, Tang Zong felt relieved.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Dali Temple Minister coldly, and finally chose to let him go.

After all, although this Tang Zong was indeed Cheng Zhu Jinshen, he was still a wise and upright minister.

The reputation of being upright and upright is not so easy to come by.

At that time, Suzhou was hit by successive floods. Many people were displaced and impoverished, with more than a million yuan in tax and rent arrears.

Tang Zong was the prefect of Suzhou at the time, and he directly ordered the wealthy businessmen of Suzhou to send rice on behalf of the victims to relieve the victims.

The rich people in Suzhou knew that he loved the people like his own son and was upright, and they respected and feared Tang Zong, so they completed the donation in less than three months.

This is the power of a virtuous name.

Tang Zong loved the people like a son throughout his life, was upright and upright, and indeed did many practical and kind deeds for the people.

The only thing to blame is that this guy sat crookedly, didn't choose the right stance, and gave a light sentence to the students who failed in the Chen Gongfu case.

Otherwise, Zhu Gaoxu would not have chosen to be this evil person and expel him from the Central Court!

The three major judicial departments, the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple, represented the legal authority of the Ming Dynasty and could handle most criminal and prison cases.

Although the Jiuqing round trial is one level higher than the three-level joint trial, it is only a rare exception after all, and it will basically never happen. Only after the three-level trial, if the plaintiff is not satisfied with the appeal, will the Jiuqing round trial be held.

However, although it is said that it is a joint trial of three departments, in judicial matters, the supervisory agency of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is usually only responsible for supervision work to ensure that judicial officials do not act improperly during the trial.

The real people doing the work are the Ministry of Punishment, which presides over the trial, and the Dali Temple, which oversees the punishment.

Because of this, among the three law departments, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have relatively close contacts and good relations.

Generally speaking, if it is an ordinary serious case, the Ministry of Punishment is usually responsible for the trial and judgment, and the Dali Temple reviews the case and confirms the penalty judgment.

If a review by the three departments is needed, the Dali Temple will preside over it, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will supervise it.

However, in terms of rank and status, the position of Minister of Dali Temple is still very embarrassing.

To put it simply, it is neither up nor down.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is the head of the Ministry of Punishment and the second-rank minister of the court.

Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the top leader of the Ming Dynasty's supervisory system, is called "Lord General Xian", and he is also a second-rank official!

However, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of Dali Temple had only been promoted to the fifth rank, and was promoted to the third rank later.

Speaking of being noble, according to the imperial court's regulations, the Minister of Dali Temple is one of the Nine Qings, and should be a big boss in the court.

But in fact, despite the court regulations, in the court, only the seven ministers composed of the six ministers and the censor of Zuodu, with equal rank and power, would be recognized for their status.

But to say that the status is not high, it is not.

As a punishment-cautious institution that reviews criminal cases, Dali Temple is the highest judicial authority in the country and the core component of the Three Laws Division. It has considerable real power.

Therefore, Tang Zong, the Minister of Dali Temple, was one level weaker than the Qi Qing, but he was one level higher than the Six Ministers.

He was just stuck between the minister and the minister!

Zhu Gaoxu had no impression of Tang Zong before and ignored this embarrassing person with an awkward status.

He surrendered to Zhang Xu, the Minister of Punishment, and forced Zhang Xu to write the new law of abolition of official titles into the Ming Dynasty Code.

He promoted Gu Zuo and Gu Penzi to serve as the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and greatly increased the powers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, making Gu Penzi now the head of the Seven Ministers!

However, Zhu Gaoxu did not expect that he would only miss Tang Zong, the minister of Dali Temple, and stab him in the back!

In fact, Tang Zong's review judgment on Chen Gongfu's case was indeed in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and there was nothing extraordinary.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his butt is really crooked.

Zhu Gaoxu will carry out a major purge next, so he must control the Three Laws Division in his own hands and cannot tolerate a crooked Dali Temple Qing going against him!

In other words, Tang Zong must leave the court and hand over his position as Minister of Dali Temple!

Fortunately, he knew his own interests and took the initiative to ask for an official position to return home, which would not make it difficult for Zhu Gaoxu.

When the ministers saw this situation, they had mixed feelings in their hearts. UU Reading www. uukanshu.net gave birth to the sadness of the death of a rabbit and the sorrow of a fox.

One of the dignified Nine Qings was forced to resign and return to his hometown by Emperor Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty!

So what should ordinary courtiers like me do?

Tang Zong left, leaving the court meeting very sadly.

"Dali Temple Minister Tang Zong has resigned, but the case cannot be delayed!"

"Do you have any talented officials to recommend? Let's start recommending them now!"

Ministers: "???"

What?

Tingtui?

Are you shameless?

Tang Zong has just left, are you starting to promote him now?

Lord Han, Lord Han, you look too ugly when you eat, don't you?

As the name suggests, when the court encounters a vacancy in ministers, officials of the third rank and above, as well as those from the Jiuqing, the Censor of Qiandu, and Jijiu, recommend two or three people to the emperor to fill the vacancies in the court in a timely manner.

The position of Minister of Dali Temple is one of the nine ministers in the court and holds great power, so court recommendation is the best way.

It's just that Tang Zong had just resigned, and the Han prince immediately started to recommend candidates. It was obvious that he had already prepared the candidate, and his appearance was too ugly.

The ministers were silent and did not say a word.

However, Gu Penzi came out of the queue excitedly and said loudly: "Your Highness, the King of Han, Jia Liang of the Criminal Division dared to speak out during his tenure, did not avoid the powerful, enforced the law impartially, and was upright..."

Ministers: "!!!"

Shameless!

How shameless!

More shameless than the King of Han!

Among the six subjects, the King of Han has assigned the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

In other words, Jia Liang, who was involved in the criminal investigation, was a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

This Gu Zuo is really not a son of a man, and he even tried to put his thieves into Dali Temple!

I have never seen such a shameless person!

In this way, I am afraid that the entire Sanfa Division will become the one-spoken hall of Han King Zhu Gaoxu!
