Chapter 354: The Censorate

The Censorate is noble and honorable, and this nobility is reflected not only in the treatment but also in the position.

The first row on the left side of Xuanwu Avenue, even ahead of the Ministry of Personnel.

This is enough to represent the status of the Censorate.

Of course, it was just a status. If one wanted to gain benefits for the family through the status of the Censorate, he would probably be the first to be beheaded by the emperor. Otherwise, the Censorate would have been squeezed out by a number of big families.

The status of the children who can enter the Censorate will not be too bad, but they will not be the most respected ones in the family.

Bai Yuan arrived at the gate of the Censorate early.

When he was walking on Xuanwu Road, he happened to meet the old minister Guo Yingru.

However, it seems that Minister Guo's attitude towards me is not as good as before.

Well, it’s because the Censorate is unpopular.

Bai Yuan thought about it and strode through the majestic gate of the Censorate.

The Censorate is very large and has a lot of people.

There are no less than a hundred censors alone. Except for the Ministry of Revenue, no other government office can be as large as this one.

"Master Bai."

As soon as he walked into the gate of the Censorate, a young man with a smile on his face was waiting at the gate.

"you are?"

"My name is Wang Yang, the manager of the Department of Experience."

"Ah."

Bai Yuan nodded casually.

The Experience Hall of the Censorate, in simple terms, is the office director, who is mainly responsible for the internal affairs and clerical matters of the Censorate.

As a large government agency, the Censorate certainly had many official positions.

In addition to the highest-ranking Left and Right Censors-in-Chief, there were also Left and Right Deputy Censors-in-Chief and Left and Right Assistant Censors-in-Chief.

There are also supervisory censors in various places in Xuanyang. These censors are not just one in each state, but often supervise several states.

The censor who supervised Lingzhou was in Yuzhou, and Bai Yuan had met him once when he was the general.

Now I have become the boss of the Censor.

"Master Bai, do you want to go see Master Zhang first?"

Bai Yuan thought for a moment.

"it is good."

This Mr. Zhang is naturally the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, Zhang Songtao.

When Du Qinghui was still serving as the Left Censor-in-Chief in the Censorate, Zhang Songtao was the Right Censor-in-Chief, and the two had been partners for decades.

Bai Yuan's official position was Left Vice-Minister of the Imperial Censorate. In theory, he was a subordinate of Lord Zhang. As it was his first time in office, he naturally had to meet the chief officer first.

Wang Yang, an experience officer from the Experience Department, took Bai Yuan through one courtyard wall after another.

During this period, he also met many young censors working in the Censorate, and these young people all looked at Bai Yuan with curiosity.

Bai Yuan didn't care.

Soon, Wang Yang brought Bai Yuan to one of the two largest rooms in the Censorate.

There is no doubt that this must be where the Left and Right Censors-in-Chief work.

However, compared to the building in front of Bai Yuan, the other one seemed much more deserted.

"Master Zhang is inside."

Wang Yang nodded slightly to Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan strode over the threshold and walked into the room.

The room is very large, but there is very little furniture, so it gives people a spacious feeling. In such a large room, sitting is an old man with a warm smile.

"We meet again."

Bai Yuan looked at the old man.

This person must be the Right Censor-in-Chief, Zhang Songtao.

Only then did he remember that yesterday in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhang Songtao was standing in the second row of civil officials, behind the Grand Tutor.

"I am Bai Yuan, your humble servant. I greet Lord Zhang." Zhang Songtao laughed and waved his hand: "Very good. If there is nothing else, you can go down."

"Uh"

Bai Yuan blinked.

Less than ten breaths after he entered, he was sent away by Zhang Songtao.

If I didn't know the temper of Lord Zhang, I would have thought that I had offended the Right Censor-in-Chief in some way.

"Yes."

Bai Yuan bowed again and left the room.

Wang Yang was already used to seeing that Bai Yuan had only been in Zhang Songtao's room for less than an incense stick of time.

Everyone in the Censorate knew that Lord Zhang was about to retire and return home. He had long since stopped caring about the government affairs of the Censorate and would only get involved in extremely important matters.

"Master Bai, don't worry. Master Zhang treats everyone like this."

Wang Yang said in a low voice.

He was just a small official in the Ministry of Experience, which meant he was a seventh-rank official.

In Kyoto, a seventh-rank official did not even live as well as some wealthy businessmen, not to mention a low-paying government office like the Censorate.

Wang Yang wants to make progress.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a good idea to try to please Bai Yuan while he is still not familiar with the situation in the Censorate.

Bai Yuan: "Tell me about it."

The information he got was all from Yue Xiaobai, which was ultimately not as accurate as what the people in the Censorate said.

Wang Yang was overjoyed and coughed lightly, "Lord Bai is new here, so you may not know that our Censorate has always had a saying of "strict on the left and lenient on the right", which means that the Left Censor-in-Chief is always impartial and punishes severely, just like the previous Censor Du, but the Right Censor-in-Chief is gentle and often mediates."

Bai Yuan nodded.

He quickly figured out the reason; it was just one person playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop.

Although the work of the Censorate is to offend people, it is not possible to offend everyone to death, so the Left and Right Censors-in-Chief need to cooperate with each other.

The Left Censor-in-Chief was responsible for arresting people, while the Right Censor-in-Chief was responsible for pacifying them.

Otherwise, if things get too tense, he might even lose his official hat.

Wang Yang: "Since Lord Du left the Censorate, Lord Zhang has not been in charge of the affairs. Now Lord Feng, the Right Deputy Censor, is in charge of all the cases in the Censorate."

"I see," Bai Yuan immediately added, "You are very good."

Wang Yang was overjoyed when he heard the praise from his boss.

Although the Censorate is a low-paying government office, it does not mean that there are no good positions.

For most young officials, the position of Censor in various places is the best position.

Not only does he have a high degree of freedom and great power in the local area, but he can also make a lot of money. He is simply a dream official.

These young officials in the Censorate work hard day and night just for a chance to be transferred to a new post.

Of course, this is a good way for ordinary officials.

For a big shot like Bai Yuan, the Censorate would become a burden.

This is also the reason why everyone was surprised when Bai Yuan proposed to go to the Censorate.

With Bai Yuan's status on the Hidden Dragon List, even if he couldn't become the commander of the Imperial Guards, it wouldn't be a problem for him to become a minister in one of the six ministries.

The three people before the Hidden Dragon List are the best examples.

Wang Yang was even more excited after being praised by Bai Yuan: "Master Bai, we have to go to Censor Feng's room."

Bai Yuan shook his head: "No need."

It was a respectful official gesture for him to pay a visit to Zhang Songtao, after all, Zhang Songtao was his superior.

But Censor Feng was on the same level as himself, and it would be somewhat beneath his dignity to rush off to pay him a visit right after taking office.

At least with Bai Yuan's strength and status, he doesn't need to please others like that.

He is now a censor of the Censorate, and there will be a chance for us to meet sooner or later.

Don't rush.

"Come on, show me the black jail case."
