With this wave of impeachment, it is clear that the other party is serious about it!
It was a wise move not to hold on to the troubles of the Jia family in Jinling.
Anyone who is not a pure minister has a clan behind him. How can it be possible that the clan is full of gentlemen and not a few black sheep?
The larger the clan, the greater the probability of having unworthy children, and this will not change due to the so-called family tradition.
Once you fall into a state of attacking the family, it's really hard to explain. Maybe the censor who may be impeached in the end will be unlucky to take the blame.
The censors who can gain a foothold in the censorship and have a certain reputation are all old-fashioned trolls in the officialdom.
They know what areas can be sprayed and what areas are off limits and cannot be touched.
No, the impeachment of the censor of Ning Mansion will seize Ning Mansion's coal mines in Jin Province.
Ahem, it's not really an attack on the coal mine, but on the track facilities in the coal mine.
The grounds for impeachment are very strong. It is inexplicable that a road should be built in a mere coal mine, which makes people doubt the motive.
That's right, although the track facilities in the coal mine are different from those of Qin Shi, their functions seem to be the same, so don't blame the censor for catching him.
Think about it, the Ning Mansion is a top military meritorious person with extremely wide connections in the military. At this time, he is actually laying a road in the coal mines of Shanxi Province. What is he trying to do?
This point was grasped very accurately. As soon as the impeachment memorial was announced, the situation immediately changed.
No matter what you say, in the feudal dynasty, the most taboo thing about being an emperor was that the chair under your butt was coveted.
Whenever there is the slightest sign, I would rather kill the wrong person than let go.
What is Chidao?
During the reign of the First Emperor, he built important roads to communicate with counties and counties in the world, specifically to supply troops and food and grass to travel to all parts of the world as quickly as possible.
In other words, what is connected with Chidao is the army.
It can be said that this time's impeachment is quite vicious. One bad move can completely destroy the Ning Mansion, which is the same outcome as confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
For a moment, there was an uproar in the court.
Cruel, ruthless, ruthless indeed!
The ministers who originally wanted to watch the excitement looked at the censors in a different way.
Even the cabinet boss, who was also from the south, didn't look very good at this time.
Damn it, using this reason to impeach the Ning Mansion is to start a fight between the civil servant group and the noble group.
Once the battle begins, the outcome is beyond the control of those present.
Maybe, after a fierce battle, half of the ministers standing in the court will disappear completely.
Even the top cabinet ministers will probably fall.
Damn, these guys are really cruel!
Of course, if the Ning Mansion declined as badly as in the story of the Red Mansion, it would probably have been abandoned as an outcast this time.
But the problem is that at this time, Ning Mansion has become a core member of the Xungui Group again, so it cannot be ignored.
No, Niu Jizong, a descendant of Zhen Guogong who was in charge of the Ministry of War, came forward directly and said that the Chidao incident was nonsense and that the head of the Ning Mansion would have to go to court to defend himself in person.
The ministers of the distinguished group present and even some civil servants agreed.
Just kidding, if a noble head with the rank of second-class general was impeached without even a chance to explain, that would be too much nonsense.
If it were to be them one day, would they be equally unlucky?
Such a precedent must never be set.
Now he naturally understood the reason, nodded in agreement, and sent Dai Quan, the eunuch beside him, to personally go to Ning Mansion to summon people.
Dai Quan went to Ning Mansion first, but failed.
However, he also knew where Jia Rong was at this time, sitting in the clan school.
"Oh, let me tell you, General Jia, you are really brave!"
When Dai Quan saw Jia Rong in the office of the head of the Jia Clan Academy, he couldn't help but said in a strange tone: "You're still so calm after being impeached!"
"I have so many friends, I'm so scared!"
Jia Rong said with a smile: "If you are so scared that you can't eat when you encounter impeachment every time, how can you live your life?"
Dai Quan extended his thumbs up to express his admiration for Jia Rong's calmness.
"If you're afraid, come with our family. This matter is not trivial. If you don't handle it properly, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot!"
Rolling his eyes, Dai Quan stretched out his hand and said, "Be smart and don't embarrass our family!"
Jia Rong was a little strange, but he didn't waste any time and got up directly and followed Dai Quan to the palace.
On the way, he learned the whole story from Dai Quan.
Sure enough, the usual money is not used in vain, it is not used at this critical time.
If it were another minister who didn't have much contact with him, Dai Quan would definitely be tight-lipped, at least until he could figure out the specific situation.
Tsk!
Jia Rong has a strong urge to curse. It is really terrible that he is uneducated.
He didn't explain anything in front of Dai Quan, so he didn't understand.
After entering the palace and going through a series of tedious benefits such as notifications, entering the palace, and seeing the ceremony, Jia Rong was finally able to speak up and argue.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of building the track in the coal mine owned by the Ning Mansion is to increase transportation efficiency. This is no secret!"
Jia Rong said calmly: "The imperial censor who wants to impeach you doesn't know how high the construction cost of the track is. There is no way it can be popularized!"
"How do you say this?"
Now I have become interested and curiously asked: "Why can't it be popularized?"
"It requires a large amount of iron wood and the special triple soil from Chenzhuangzi. The combination can make the track extremely hard and have a long service life!"
"Also, it can withstand the ravages of all kinds of weather!"
Having said this, he shook his head and chuckled: "The cost of almost one foot of track is at least more than ten taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Damn, this is not laying tracks, this is using money to pave the road.
He wasn't too surprised now, he said without any emotion about this thing.
"Inside the mine owned by Ning Mansion, only a dozen miles of track have been laid. The cost is thousands of taels, and the supply of key iron materials is insufficient!"
Jia Rong continued to explain: "In other words, with the laying of tracks, the transportation efficiency of the coal mine has increased several times. This is all money in vain!"
Having said this, he looked at the impeachment censors and said with a leisurely smile: "Speaking of which, no one can have trouble with money, right?"
Without waiting for anyone else to react, he continued with a smile: "As far as I know, the coal mines under the Ministry of Internal Affairs also have a considerable length of track laid, and the scale is much larger than the tracks in the coal mines under the Ning Mansion!"
After he stopped speaking, he shook his head and his face was full of disdain. The faces of the impeachment officials turned red at this time.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the court was more awkward than ever before. This was such a mistake that it left people speechless...
