Shi Pengfei, as the third-rank right minister of the Ministry of War, is equivalent to the current deputy minister of defense. He is the official with the highest punished position at present. The ranks of generals are not comparable. Even generals with a higher rank than Shi Pengfei will not be the same in front of Shi Pengfei.
younger brother.
Reducing one's position to serve the people, confiscating one's family property, and never using it again... Such punishments are not too severe.
Shi Pengfei should be the ceiling of this punishment, and the responsibility ends here, everyone thought.
However, just when the idea came to mind, I heard Chen Hong continue to read the imperial edict, "Ying Tian's Minister of War, Zhang Jing..."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasped in shock, opened their mouths wide, and their eyes bulged out.
It turned out to be Zhang Jing, the Minister of War in Yingtian. Zhang Jing, this was the number one person among everyone present!
The Holy Spirit's intensity in pursuing accountability is so great! This is really unlimited!
Everyone was completely shocked.
"Zhang Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of War of Yingtian, is in charge of the Ministry of War of Yingtian. He is responsible for the military affairs of Yingtian, Nanzhili and Southeast, as well as the guarding of Yingtian. He is responsible for the punishment of Zhejiang and the prosecutor's office, Zhu Ping'an, to report the Japanese pirates in Shangyu who are harassing Yingtian.
He failed to be alert enough and arranged for Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, to study and deploy the response, but failed to supervise and review. He is responsible for poor leadership and lax command; a mere fifty-seven Japanese pirate soldiers surrounded Yingtian and failed to send troops in time.
Chaowei has brought shame to the imperial court and has failed the emperor's favor; he will be fined three years' salary and immediately dismissed from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War in Yingtian..."
Chen Hong read out the imperial edict in a slow and unhurried manner, his voice was not loud, and his tone was the eunuch's unique drake voice.
But to everyone present, it was like a huge thunder exploding in their ears!
Everyone felt as if they were struck by five thunders, and they were so shocked that they couldn't believe their ears.
Zhang Jing was actually fired! He was relieved of his post as Minister of War!!!
In fact, there is basically no difference between dismissal and reduction in rank. They are both beaten. The only difference is that dismissal only temporarily retains the qualification of "official", and it only hangs the last breath of political life.
How could everyone not be shocked!
"The guilty minister Zhang Jing accepted the order to express his gratitude. Long live my emperor, long live the emperor..." Zhang Jing knelt down lonely to receive the order.
Alas, I have been dismissed...
How many days and nights were devoted to studying the terrain of the mountains and rivers south of the Yangtze River; how many days and nights were devoted to studying the distribution of soldiers and horses in various garrison posts in the south of the Yangtze River; how many days and nights were devoted to studying the strength of the Japanese pirate camp; how many days and nights were devoted to raising food, grass and military pay: how many days and nights were devoted to
Studying strategies such as deploying wolf soldiers; how many days and nights, painstakingly studying how to complete the task in one battle and annihilate the Japanese pirates; how many days and nights...
Well, I can finally have a good sleep tonight...
"No need to bother you, I'll do it myself."
After receiving the order, Zhang Jing waved his hand to the factory guard who came over. Without using the factory guard to do anything, he took off his bird gauze hat, took off his official uniform, folded it, put it on the ground, and walked towards the outside of the palace with his back...
...
At this moment, everyone was feeling a little sad, a little pitiful, and of course some were gloating about his misfortune.
The only exception is Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Ping'an did not have the above emotions and could only congratulate.
Zhu Ping'an knew that Zhang Jing was about to be appointed governor of Jiangnan, specializing in suppressing Japanese invaders. He was dismissed from the Ministry of War at this moment, which happened to be a prelude to being appointed governor of Jiangnan. Historically, the imperial court ordered Zhang Jing to be relieved of his post and take up the post of governor.
, the governor-general of the troops and horses in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, acted expediently, and specialized in suppressing Japanese invaders.
Therefore, Zhang Jing will soon take office as governor-general, so he deserves congratulations.
After Zhang Jing walked out of the hall, the pressure came to He Sui, the eunuch guarding Yingtian. He, Zhang Jing, and Wei Guogong were the three giants of Yingtian. If Wei Guogong made meritorious service, he did not have to worry about punishment. On the contrary, he would be rewarded.
He is comparable to Zhang Jing.
At this moment, when Eunuch He saw that Zhang Jing had been dismissed, he remembered that this bitch Chen Hong had just gloated that he would have another bad luck. He suddenly became nervous, his toes clenched, and his calves couldn't help but tremble.
Shivering.
Zhu Ping'an noticed Eunuch He and couldn't help but twitching his lips, Eunuch He, you are a master, can you have some master's demeanor? When the Zhenwu Camp mutiny happened, Huang Maoguan, the governor of the Ministry of Revenue, was hacked to pieces by the insurrectionary soldiers, but how could you come from this?
The master who ran out of the chaos unscathed...you, a master, must be too timid. Oh, yes, it was Eunuch He who was timid when Zhenwu Camp rebelled.
However, you don't need to be so nervous. Although you and Zhang Jing and Zhang Shangshu are both Yingtian's three giants, you have different positions and different responsibilities, and the responsibilities you need to bear are still very different.
Zhang Jing was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and his scope of responsibilities not only covered Yingtian, but also the entire south of the Yangtze River. From the landing of Japanese pirates at Shangyu to the harassment of Yingtian, the crimes of thousands of miles of robbery were all within the scope of Zhang Jing's responsibilities.
As the eunuch guarding Yingtian, your father-in-law He is only responsible for guarding Yingtian.
The crimes committed by the Japanese pirates between Shangyu and Yingtian have nothing to do with you. Yingtian is fine, and you have fulfilled your most basic duties. At most, when the Japanese pirates harassed Yingtian, you failed to send troops to exterminate them in time, which caused the court to lose face.
This fault is not serious, so you don't have to worry so much.
Eunuch He was too timid and easily panicked when encountering problems. He was not a person who wanted to do big things. Perhaps this was the reason why he was never able to reach the peak of eunuch power like Lu Fang, Huang Jin, and Feng Bao.
Zhu Pingan thought so.
When Eunuch He was nervous and apprehensive, Chen Hong cast his gaze on him, with a sneer on his lips.
When Eunuch He saw Chen Hong looking at him, he immediately realized that it was his turn, so he became even more nervous and could hardly stand.
Finally, while Eunuch He was trembling nervously, Chen Hong continued to read out the imperial edict, "He Sui, the eunuch guarding Yingtian..."
Sure enough it's my turn!
When Eunuch He heard Chen Hong read his name, his nervousness reached its peak.
Chen Hong also deliberately slowed down his speaking speed when he read out the imperial edict about Eunuch He, word by word, as if he deliberately cut the flesh with a blunt knife during execution, and tortured Eunuch He with his words, "He Sui, the eunuch of Yingtian Guards, is
The eunuch guarding Yingyao was responsible for guarding Yingtian. Only fifty-seven Japanese pirates surrounded Yingtian. He failed to coordinate in time to send troops to suppress the Japanese, which embarrassed the court. Nian was fine in Yingtian, and the Japanese pirates were wiped out that night. Especially
A lighter sentence, a one-year fine, and one demerit will be recorded to see the consequences..."
Eunuch He's spirit was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs. Chen Hong read the first half of the imperial edict when it related to his fault. Chen Hong deliberately read it very slowly, which made Eunuch He's spirit seem to be delayed...
...It seemed like a century. When he heard the result of the punishment later, Eunuch He felt that he had narrowly escaped death, was extremely sad and happy, and felt that a dead tree had turned into spring. He was lucky and surprised.
A year's salary and one demerit... The result of this punishment was many times better than he imagined.
This damn bitch, Chen Hong, deliberately played tricks on me!
