Hai Rui was not demoted to civilian status, nor was he beaten with imperial cane. Hai Rui was only fined one year's salary, and was deemed incompetent in the annual performance appraisal. This gave all the officials in the hall a shot in the arm.
All the officials in the hall couldn't help but have hope in their hearts. They all had this idea in their minds. If Hai Rui can do it, so can we.
However, their hopes were shattered in the next second.
"Shi Ning, a member of the Huizhou Guards, was cowardly and fearful of fighting. He led his troops to guard the Huizhou Pass. When the Japanese invaders knocked on the pass, Shi Ning abandoned the pass first and fled without firing an arrow or a musket. Then all his troops fled, making it easy for the Japanese invaders.
Entering Huizhou, plundering the Jixi River, betraying the emperor's favor, having no regard for the common people, the crime cannot be pardoned, he will be escorted to the capital, and he will be executed after the fall!"
Chen Hong twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Weizhou Wei Qianhu Shi Ning, and read slowly.
"Spare your life, spare your life, my father-in-law, please forgive me, your Majesty, please forgive me. Please say a few kind words to your Majesty and forgive me for this time." Shi Ning, a Qianhu of Huizhou Wei, suddenly collapsed to the ground and begged loudly for mercy.
"General Shi, it's useless for you to cry out for mercy to the Zajia family. You can wait until you get to the capital. However, the Zajia family still advises you not to waste your efforts. This imperial edict was jointly agreed upon by the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment and other yamen, and approved by the Holy Spirit.
, even if you shout until your throat is broken, there is no point in making the same mistakes in your next life."
Chen Hong raised his orchid finger, shook his head with a sinister smile, and waved his hand to the factory guard, indicating that he should be escorted away.
Immediately, the factory guards on the side pounced on Shi Ning like wolves and tigers, ignoring Shi Ning's plea for mercy. They picked him up, dragged him outside the palace, put on the shackles and shackles that had been prepared, and put him into a prison car.
This was a capital punishment, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and suffocating.
"The magistrate of Jixi County reduced his position to serve the people"
"The magistrate of Weng County will fine him a salary for one year to see the effects."
"The magistrate of Ningguo Prefecture will be fined for one year in salary, and the annual performance appraisal will be conducted to see if he is incompetent."
"The magistrate of Jing County, Qiu Shiyong, fined him one year's salary and demoted him to the county magistrate on the spot to see the consequences."
"The Prime Minister of Nanling County was cowardly and afraid of fighting. He fled without fighting and was escorted to Beijing. He will be executed after the fall."
"Hu Guangyao, the magistrate of Nanling County, reduced his position to serve the people and fled three thousand miles away."
"The commander of the Jianyang Guards, Miao Yin, was incompetent in suppressing the Japanese. He was defeated repeatedly in battles, and bribed officials to cover up his defeat. Thinking that although he was defeated repeatedly, he was able to fight repeatedly, and was incompetent but not timid to fight. He was punished with a hundred sticks, fined with a salary of three years, and demoted.
For a hundred households, we can observe the effects."
"Thousands of households under the Imperial Envoy of Wuhu City once guarded against Japanese incompetence and were punished with a hundred sticks and a one-year fine to see the effects."
Every time Chen Hong finished reciting an imperial edict, an official would meet his fate. Those who were demoted to serve the people were pulled out as if they were mourning for a heir, those who were escorted to Beijing were shackled and put in prison cars, and those who were fined and demoted could not help but relax a little.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, I finally saved my political life and physical life, right?
Finally, Chen Hong finished reading out the punishments of local officials from various places along the way, and it was Yingtian's turn to accompany the capital.
The pressure is on Yingtian officials.
Under the tension of all Yingtian officials, Chen Hong continued to read: "When the Japanese invaders came to Yingtian, Hu Zongxian, the censor of Zhejiang Province, took the initiative to ask for military service, led his troops out of the city, sniped at the Japanese pirates in the cherry orchard, dug deep ditches, and prepared for them
However, due to lax military management and lack of vigilance, the soldiers under his command took off their armor and warmed up, which was taken advantage of by the Japanese pirates, who disguised themselves as beggars and raided. Hu Zongxian's troops were driven into a deep ditch and suffered heavy losses.
I will be given a lighter sentence and be fined for one year. I will be evaluated for incompetence in the annual performance appraisal to see the consequences."
Hu Zongxian was the first official of the Yingtian clan to be punished. Considering that Hu Zongxian was the censor of Zhejiang, he did not have the responsibility to lead the troops to suppress Japanese invaders, but he was able to volunteer for military service when the Japanese invaders came to the city, step forward and attack them.
To be broad-minded, the punishment should be lenient, with only a one-year salary fine and no punishment in the annual performance appraisal.
Of course, the network behind Hu Zongxian must also have played a big role. Hu Zongxian was born in Jinyiwei in the era of Hu Zongxian's family, and he has a lot of energy. Moreover, after Hu Zongxian became a Jinshi, he once observed politics in the Ministry of Punishment. He has many connections in the Ministry of Punishment, and he has been successful in these years.
It is the censorship route, and there are many connections in the censorship circle.
Zhu Pingan noticed that Hu Zongxian did not look surprised after hearing Chen Hong read out the punishment against him. He seemed to have known about this punishment for a long time.
"The guilty minister accepts the order to express his gratitude. Long live our emperor. The guilty minister must remember this lesson, know his shame and then be brave, and live up to the mighty emperor's grace." Hu Zongxian knelt on the ground to receive the order to express his gratitude and expressed his firm stance.
After Hu Zongxian, Chen Hong continued to read out the imperial edict. Following Hu Zongxian was Zhang Qianchi, the commander of the Zhenwei Battalion who followed Hu Zongxian in the attack, and other officers dispatched from the Beijing camp. Compared with Hu Zongxian, they were punished more severely. Judu
He was demoted one level, fined one year's salary, and sentenced to fifty with a cane.
It's the Yingtian War Department's turn.
Zhu Ping'an thought in his mind, and sure enough, Chen Hong began to read out in the next second: "Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Yingtian Ministry of War, assistant to the Ministry of War, responsible for guarding the capital, ignored the Zhejiang Prosecution and Prosecution Envoy Si Qian Shi Zhu Ping'an and sent it to Shangyu
He also ignored the warning of Japanese pirates attacking Yingtian, and ignored Zhang Jing, the Minister of War, who ordered him to pay attention and arrange to study the nearby Beijing camp to pay attention to the response. Instead, he regarded it as a joke and laughed about it at the dinner table; he accepted bribes from Miao Yin, the commander of Jianyang Guard, to cover up his defeat.
Confiscate the bribes of 2,500 taels, confiscate all the family property, reduce the position to serve the people, never use it again, and serve as a warning to others!"
Collected 2,500 taels of bribes, confiscated all family property, and reduced his position to the people, never to use it again
When Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Yingtian Military Department, heard this, his face turned ashen instantly, and his body seemed to have no bones, and he collapsed to the ground.
This not only ended his powerful political career and reduced him to a commoner who could never stand up again, but also took away the huge bribes he had accepted with fear and fear, and confiscated all his family property. He was heartbroken.
Not only was it bleeding, it was simply shattered.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over." Shi Pengfei cried bitterly on the ground as if he were mourning for his heir.
The factory guard on the side stepped forward unceremoniously and picked up Shi Pengfei, who was crying bitterly. He took off his black gauze hat and official uniform, and dragged him out of the hall.
If he had known this, why would he have done it in the first place? Seeing this scene, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his lips.
When the department himself reported the urgent military situation that Yu Japanese pirates would attack Yingtian, Shi Pengfei was the one who ridiculed and opposed it most actively. He regarded his reminder as a joke and ignored it. After listening to the imperial edict read by Chen Hong, it turned out that Shi Pengfei accepted Miao's offer.
Yin's bribery and embellishment of Miao Yin's defeat. An official like this who occupies such a key position as the right minister of the Ministry of War is a pig leader who is worse than his teammates! At this time, Shi Pengfei was demoted to a civilian position. In terms of the overall situation of fighting against the Japanese, he was a
