About Chen Tai, how much do you know, let's take a look at it together with a small paragraph.
People spread the story of the Ming Dynasty's inspector Yushi Chen Tai with two sleeves of fresh wind and clear love and hatred. Chen Tai was just and upright all his life, selfless with an iron face, impeaching evil, and sparing no effort. From the supervision of the imperial history to the zuo you du yushi to the deputy capital yushi, he was a high official to the high position of Zheng Sanpin, through the eunuch sea ups and downs three ups and downs, indomitable, admirable, not a generation of courtiers, known as the "iron" imperial history.
Punish corrupt officials and model prison detectives
Chen Tai, zi Ji Heng, Ming Yongle was born in the early years of Guangming Chengguan, first from his maternal ancestor's family name Cao, Yongle twenty-one years (1423), he should be the first place in the township examination. During the Xuande period, he entered the high school and was appointed as a scholar in Anqing Province before he resumed his surname.
According to the Qing editions of the "Gloss County Chronicle" and the "Gloss Literature and History Materials" and other records, Chen Taijia was a well-known bookseller who opened the "Hangchuan Pavilion" book house in the business of printing books and collecting books. He was bright and studious since childhood, studied hard, and admired the arrogance of Li Gang, Wen Tianxiang and other generations of good ministers. Because of his integrity and wide reputation, he was highly recommended by many officials soon after he became a teacher, and in the early years of orthodoxy, he was appointed as the inspector of Jiangxi.
In his position, Chen Tai sought his own government, immersed himself in the study of jurisprudence, strictly enforced the law, arrested murderers, punished corrupt officials, investigated and handled many major and important cases, and became a "model for prison investigation" in the Ming Dynasty.
Once, Chen Tai returned to the luster, and it happened that a case had just been concluded: after the local bully Witch Jin Kui raped the wife of Huang Long, the county prison chief, he instead framed Huang Long for killing his wife for occupying someone else's wife. The county magistrate convicted Huang Long of the death penalty and reported it, and waited for the order to be beheaded. But after carefully reading the case file, he found many suspicious points, so he made a private visit and learned a lot of evidence that bullies framed others. After carefully collecting evidence for a retrial, the bully witch Jin Kui confessed his plot and was sentenced to capital punishment. Huang Long was immediately released, the county order was also deposed for confusing the case, and the people called Chen Tai "Chen Qingtian"!
Honesty, honesty, and strict administration
In the third year of orthodoxy (1438), when Chen Tai was inspecting Shanxi, he learned that some foreign officials were low, so he went to Shangshu: "Now the foreign ministers go to their homes and go on a distant post, and their wives accompany them. However, the moon of the lu thick gives rice but three stones, and the thin one gives one stone and two stones. However, the money it folded was in a hurry. In the past nine years, the tools of the government, the cost of road travel, the needs of pro-ancient questions, and the use of the door dwelling, if they do not support them, they will inevitably lose what they keep, so there are many people who are caught in sin. "
After reading the song, the emperor also deeply felt that "the thin money is not enough to maintain honesty" and "there will be many officials who commit stolen goods." As a result, the officials benefited and became more diligent.
As a royal historian, Chen Tai strictly ruled the officials and did not hesitate at all. When he was ordered to inspect Guizhou, he found that some generals were ineffective in suppressing thieves, but they risked their merits by killing the heads of the common people, and the local people complained bitterly. He immediately went to the Zhang court, dismissed the relevant officials and generals, and the people's grievances were washed away by the snow.
In the sixth year of orthodoxy (1441), the south was drought, the north was flooded, the people suffered, and the people did not have a good life. The government's relief money and grain were withheld layer by layer, leaving little left in the hands of the people. The victims rioted and the local unrest was unstable. Chen Tai believed that everything was caused by corrupt officials, so he joined forces with a group of upright officials to play a song to explain the harm of corrupt officials. The Emperor was furious and immediately launched an investigation. In the end, a number of high-ranking and powerful corrupt officials, such as the official Shangshu Guo Lian, du Yushi Chen Zhi, the waiter Lang Li Yong, and the sacrificial wine Beitai, were impeached and dismissed, and the people's grievances were eliminated, and the riots were put to rest.
