Chapter 374: The difference between picking up a book and putting it down(1/2)
To be an official in the Ming Dynasty, there is a vote on which position is the worst. Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture Prefecture must definitely rank first in the Ming Dynasty political arena.
This position, which was mainly held by Taizu's son-in-law at the beginning of its establishment, was to analyze it from a certain perspective, which was to turn away those who were not well-known.
If you don’t have the courage to offend the powerful, you still have to have the qualification and strength to offend the powerful.
If there are no two points above, the most suitable thing for Yingtian Prefecture is to be a quail, a blind man, a deaf man and a dumb man.
Nanjing is not only the largest city in the country, but also the city with the most dignitaries and nobles, far exceeding the total amount of each province.
Chen Shao, the prefect of Yingtian, not only worked hard to maintain the public security of this city with a population of millions, but also maintained the civil and military classes, a group of top officials of the first and second ranks.
After Chen Shao learned about the group fight at the suburbs of Beijing stadium, the latter's head began to hurt again.
The reason why the second generation is the second generation is of course because they have a group of good fathers. This is just a mark of a group image symbol. Of course, it does not represent their own abilities and qualities. It is just because of this group image symbol that makes people subconsciously feel that the abilities of the second generation are covered up by the background.
Everyone likes or wants to make friends with the second generation, because the latter, whether it is the second generation of power or the second generation of rich, will always be extremely generous in some aspects. This generousness can benefit others and even change lives.
So, how many people like to be opponents or enemies with second generations?
I'm afraid there are only a few of them, so Chen Shao would never be one of them. He has been an official for many years and has always adhered to the fact that he is not setting up enemies for himself in the political arena, let alone with such a group of people.
But today Chen Shao cried. He never thought that the football team he formed could beat such a group of second generations on the court.
When the attending yamen officer brought dozens of people back to the yamen, Chen Shao began to feel in a daze while sitting in the hall.
who I am?
Where am I?
What am I going to do?
Look at the group of young men with bruised noses but still proud heads. One marquis, three Counts, and the other ten people. Although they do not have titles, the worst one is that they also have a second-rank martial arts rank in their family.
As for the other side, the highest-level team was just a mere team leader. When his ancestors were the richest, his family was the chief clerk of one of the six houses in Yingtian Mansion.
Identity is destined to be a very different place.
Where does this come from the courage!
Chen Shao trembled his lips and became angry, and slapped the case hard: "Everyone kneel down!"
Of course, he did not dare to denounce these martial eunuchs for kneeling. The former did not kneel when he saw the emperor, and he could only scold his own clerks.
"Why!"
What Chen Shao had not expected was that among his own clerks, the document that was the culprit in his eyes, who was so thorny that he actually said to the Mingtang: "Why just let us kneel?"
"It is a national law that the official did not do anything wrong with the martial eunuch."
Literatures are all proud, and the young people are full of energy, which prompts them to argue.
"It is a national law for the national people to not kneel without a kneeling ceremony, but among these people, only a few of them attacked their father's title. Why don't others not kneel?"
This made Chen Shao speechless.
What are the hidden rules?
Who would have thought that there would be a tiny-headed baby as serious?
The knuckles were pinched by Chen Shao and he snorted coldly: "You are so brave to question me, roaring in the court, and squeezing from the left and right, thirty-years-old."
He is not in the mood to protect his subordinates now. There are thousands of such subordinates in Yingtian Mansion, and Chen Shao can't remember the name of this person.
The dignified Ming Dynasty Marquis Wu Ding was sitting in the court watching with blood on his head.
If you don't give a satisfactory reply, you will definitely not give up.
The huge gap in identity and class gap is destined to be impossible to be fair this time, and even the practice itself is the biggest unfair beginning.
There are many things like fighting and fighting on the court outside. The city in the suburbs of Beijing is itself the biggest instability factor in public security, but it has never been treated once.
Now it's Wu Xun's turn to be beaten, and he's going to do it publicly. It's not just differentiated treatment.
It hurts very much when the rattan palms and mouths are twitching on their mouths. Although the yamen runners in the court are willing to act lightly on their own people, even if they control the strength, the thirty-sixth boards will make the little clerk flow continuously. They cover their mouths and lie on the ground and feel pain so much that they curl up.
This calmed down a large group of young people who were passionate about their blood.
They were a little scared, so they knelt down honestly and lowered their heads.
"Wu Ding Hou, what should you do about this?"
With a shameless face, Chen Shao really didn't think he was embarrassed and gave the right to Guo Lan, who had enough time to drink tea and watch the show.
"Hey, you are the prefect of Yingtian, what does this mean?"
Although Guo Lan is a playboy, she is definitely not stupid. Chen Shao's words were directly shut down and interfered in Yingtian Mansion's trial of the case. This exceeded the rules and would give people a verbal sceptic.
In a case where both parties are at fault, the first thing a smart person needs to do is to avoid making mistakes in the future, in exchange for emotional bias at the yamen.
If he asked him to try his case alone, it was nonsense. Guo Lan didn't say anything. Could it be that Chen Shao would dare to deal with it lightly?
"Then follow the law. Those who fight will beat the board, strip away the clerk's identity, and send them to Longjiang Shipyard for a year."
Chen Shao didn't want to delay this matter too much, so he quickly patted the board and planned to settle the matter.
But at this moment, the document still lying on the ground and groaned immediately exploded.
"I'm sorry."
I have been studying hard for more than ten years before I got back to pass the provincial examination. I was stripped of my status as a civil servant because of such a trivial matter and I still have to work hard?
Not only did he call for injustice, but more than a dozen other people were also calling for injustice.
"Since the case is a fight, why do you only determine the fault of one party?"
The clerk cried aggrievedly as he spoke, and he no longer had the strong bloodiness on the court just now. A big man cried so hard that he was heartbroken: "My Lord, please be kind."
But Chen Shao had obviously made up his mind and was unmoved at all, so he was scolded.
"The portrait of Your Majesty is hanging high above the Mingtang. Master, do you dare to look up and say you have a clear conscience!"
The clerk, regardless of the laws he would violate in the next act, stood up and pointed at Chen Shao and cursed: "Is this your solar term to attract the incest and flatter the powerful?
After studying hard for more than ten years, I passed the provincial examination and exchanged for the status of a civil servant. Why would you be deprived of your words and you randomly judged your fault?"
Chen Shao's expression was extremely embarrassing. He found that these grassroots mud legs were getting harder to carry.
In the past, the only difference between clerks and dogs was that they were walking while standing, but there was no difference between them and ordinary people.
In the eyes of local county governments and county magistrates and clerks who have an affair with official status, the pair of clerks are simply killing them at will.
Not to mention that he is the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture of the third rank.
There were thousands of yamen runners and clerks in Yingtian Mansion. In the past, Chen Shao didn't even dare to raise his head when he saw him. It was a crime to straighten his back. Now, those who have been recorded in the provincial treasury in the past two years do not know what knowledge they have instilled in the works such as "The Great Jianwen Collection", and their words are harder than the other.
They dare to question and talk back.
"If the Lord of the House insists on convicting me, then convict the Marquis of Wu Ding and the two parties."
Every time the little clerk said something, blood dripped with tears: "Otherwise, I will not accept it."
"Don't accept it?"
Before Chen Shao could speak, Guo Lan put down the tea bowl and spoke: "Why are you not convinced? Just based on what you call a ten-year hard work?"
"Yes, just because of this, I was admitted through my own efforts. Why can't I compare to you, the so-called martial arts honor who relies on the family's wealth?"
"It's a joke, so Benhou really wants to ask you something.
The Guo family has been fighting bloody for the dynasty for three generations. Three generations of people have been fighting for half a lifetime, and only after they have been replaced by swords and axes, why can you get rid of the special honors after just one word of heart?”
In this world, the most feared thing is to ask everything.
The young clerk looked at Guo Lan, his eyes filled with tears and unwilling humiliation, but he didn't know what to say.
His unwilling attitude of surrender was full of youth and immatureness. He was not enough to challenge the class system in this society, and of course he would never have the qualification to challenge it.
"You roared the court again and again, and you were simply lawless. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, don't blame me for this official."
Seeing that Xiao Wenshu was quiet, Chen Shao became more excited again and opened his mouth to curse, and was about to be sentenced to an additional punishment, but he saw a large group of people outside the Mingtang walked in.
"Ahem."
Without reporting, he went straight to the court, but few people in Nanjing dared to do it. However, when Chen Shao looked at him, he was so scared that he immediately walked out of the big case.
"The emperor has met His Highness the King of Liao."
A large group of people in the court either stood up or knelt down: "I have met His Highness the King of Liao."
Although it was spring, Zhu Zhi was still wearing a cloak on his shoulder.
Ignoring Chen Shao and a large group of people, Zhu Zhi walked straight to Guo Lan, held up the latter's arm and said to him: "Marquis Wuding is fine."
"fine."
Seeing Zhu Zhi so politely, Guo Lan suddenly felt a light on his face: "It's just a little skin trauma."
"That's good, that's good."
Zhu Zhi raised his hand, and the servant following him walked over with a tray.
On the tray, there are some bottles and jars.
"I heard that Wu Dinghou was injured while playing football in the mansion. I was shocked at that time and rushed over and brought some injuries to Wu Dinghou. There was a good beauty cream bought from Nanyang and applied it to my face to ensure that the skin is smooth and water-free and there will be no trauma.
