How powerful can an impeachment memorial from a small sixth-rank official be? And the impeachment target of this memorial is backed by the chief minister of the cabinet and a party.
It must be a small thing that shakes a big tree, it is ridiculous and overestimating. In people's opinion, it is impossible to succeed. People are waiting to see this Xiao Liupin's joke.
However, the facts left people stunned.
within one day
One was of the third rank, one was of the fifth rank, and two of the sixth rank were demoted to serve as civilians, and were taken outside the Meridian Gate and beaten with imperial sticks; one was of the seventh rank, who was demoted to be of the rank of civilians, and was exiled to the army; and one of the fifth rank was imprisoned in accordance with the law.
Deprived of life, beheaded and executed later in life.
All in all, one official of the third rank, two of the fifth rank, two of the sixth rank, and one of the seventh rank, a total of six officials all fell at the feet of this little sixth-rank official.
It's just because of a memorial from this sixth-grade official.
This kind of efficiency put the officials in the Ming Dynasty to shame, including the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section. For them, their achievements throughout their entire lives as officials could not compare to a memorial from this little six-rank official.
Results.
Luo Jingbin and Hu Ke, both from the Experience Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, reported that Zhang Hujiang and his two cousins were having wine at home during the incident, so they couldn't help but discuss the matter.
"This mouse that gnawed at the foundation of the imperial court was caught by a puppy. Doesn't it make us cats so useless?" Luo Binbin had a glass of wine with his cousin Zhang Hujiang, and drank leisurely.
said.
"It's not enough if it's just one. The key is that this is a nest of six big rats, including a rat spirit..." Zhang Hujiang said with emotion. When he first heard the news, he was filled with excitement.
Confused.
Luo Binbin pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "It's really shameful. How many cats can't catch so many big mice in their lifetime, let alone the mice. We should work hard, otherwise we will be too useless."
"Yes." Zhang Hujiang nodded, and then looked at Luo Binbin.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it... We've stared at that rat hole for long enough." Luo Binbin narrowed his eyes.
So, while chatting and drinking, the two cousins drafted a memorial with impassioned words, just like a beautiful article. Then they signed their names neatly. Without any delay, they sent it directly.
Got out.
It is said that today the General Administration Bureau received several times more impeachment memorials than usual, leaving officials in the General Administration Bureau confused. They don’t understand why these officials are so crazy and are gathering together to impeach...
Today, there is also a private party at the house of Yan Maoqing, the deputy censor of Zuodu. There are not many people. Several people present are friends of Yan Maoqing, including Wang Xueyi, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Zhang Guangzheng, the censor of the right capital, and Zhao Wenhua, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
.
It can be said that the people present at this table are all deputy ministers. Of course, they have one thing in common, that is, they are both strict party members.
The table was filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, and jade liquor. Yan Maoqing and others on the table were drinking and chatting about today's events.
In Zhao Daying's case, they know more about the inside story.
"If Zhao Daying's case hadn't alarmed the Holy One, Zhao Qiu and the others wouldn't have been like this." Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Punishment, poured a glass of wine for everyone present and said with regret.
Wang Xueyi sat in the lower position. In fact, his official position was not much different from that of Yan Maoqing and others. He was even one level higher than Zhang Guangzheng, the censor of Youqiandu. However, in terms of seniority in the Yan Party, Wang Xueyi was inferior.
Far.
Needless to say, Zhao Wenhua is the godson of Yan Song. He recognized Yan Song, who was a priest at the time, as his adoptive father when he was studying Chinese. This has been ten or twenty years. It goes without saying that Yan Maoqing agreed when he became an official.
Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son have been together for more than ten years; Zhang Guangzheng is also a veteran of the Yan Party, but due to his limited ability, his official promotion was slower than that of Yan Maoqing, Zhao Wenhua and others.
Wang Xueyi only integrated into the strict party circle in the past few years, and his seniority in the strict party is much junior.
However, in the strict party, seniority is very important. With seniority, promotion will be a matter of time, so Wang Xueyi was ranked last.
"Zhao Daying deserved it. He dared to kill a good man and deceive Master Yan. Master Yan asked the Holy One for his sins. Fortunately, the Holy One was aware of the situation and not only did not blame the Prime Minister, but praised the Prime Minister for his responsible spirit."
Zhang Guangzheng shook his head and chuckled, showing a bit of schadenfreude at what happened to Zhao Daying's uncle, nephew, and others.
Zhao Wenhua glanced at Zhang Guangzheng slightly and said nothing. Zhang Guangzheng's attitude is actually not difficult to investigate. The Yan Party is not monolithic and there are factional disputes.
Not only did Zhang Guangzheng and Zhao Qiu belong to two different factions, but they also competed for the position of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of War. Zhang Guangzheng did not compete with Zhao Qiu at that time.
That's why Zhang Guangzheng was so gloating when he saw Zhao Qiu being demoted from his post to the people. Back then, I asked you to fight with me, but now it's okay. I didn't fight with you back then, but now, I'm still the right person.
Censor, you have been beaten to the end, and you cannot even become an official. When Yan Maoqing is in charge of salt administration in Zhejiang, Lianghuai, Changlu, and Hedong, the position of deputy censor of Zuodu will be mine. Laughter
The one who wins in the end is the winner.
"It's not like we can figure out the Holy Will." Yan Maoqing picked up the teacup, gently scratched it twice, and said calmly.
"Of course, although Zhao Daying deserves his punishment, he, Zhu Pingan, is too rampant. He knew clearly that Zhao Daying was rewarded by Yan Ge Lao, but he still behaved like this."
I still feel resentful, and when I think of the scene where I was crushed in Zhu Ping'an's hands many times when I confessed my love, I still feel itchy at all.
"Haha, young people succeed in their ambitions. This is the fault. Little do they know that life still has a long way to go." Yan Maoqing took a sip of tea and smiled disdainfully.
"The road in life is still long, young people should not be too arrogant," Zhang Guangzheng added after Yan Maoqing's words.
hehe
Hearing this, Yan Maoqing and Zhang Guangzheng looked at each other and smiled, feeling like heroes had similar views.
"Haha, Mr. Yan, Mr. Zhang has great advice. Zhongyong has suffered too many injuries in history, and Zhu Ping'an is not the least of them." Wang Xueyi said with a smile, as if he had foreseen Zhu Ping'an's unlucky fate.
Zhao Wenhua looked at the people at the table, nodded with a smile, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, hiding a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
How can someone who can pull down Uncle Zhao Qiu and his nephews and his gang in front of you all be said to be arrogant?
If Zhu Ping'an was a fool like Zhong Yong, why would I have taken advantage of others to catch my son-in-law?
How can a young man who was able to pass the civil service examination at the age of thirteen and take the top exam at the age of fourteen be easy to get along with, who can write such a policy to deal with Japanese invaders?
The last person to pass the examination at the age of thirteen was the powerful Yang Shoufu.
