"The things here are about to be finished, and I have to think about our own affairs. When your father comes back, I want to go to him to propose marriage."
The little girl instantly blushed with embarrassment and spat: "Bah, who wants to marry you?"
Yang Fan picked her up and put her on his lap. He held her waist with both hands.
The little girl struggled for a while, and then gave up after seeing Yang Fan hugging her tightly.
He leaned his head on Yang Fan's arms.
Covering his face.
Yang Fan felt that her face was burning.
Yang Fan asked humbly in her ear: "Do you like a son or a daughter?"
So, a small hand found the piece of tender meat on Yang Fan's waist again.
"Don't twist it, don't twist it, I won't say it anymore"
Huangji Palace, early morning.
I impeach Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War, for thirteen major crimes.
The morning court had just begun when a censor who had been newly transferred to the capital from other places came out of duty and shouted loudly:
1. At that time, he served as censor and patrolled Huaihe and Yanghou. Every time he went to a place, he held wine parties and spent thousands of gold every day. He wasted national money and spent public funds.
2. Accepting bribes on a large scale. As long as the criminal pays him a bribe, he will be regarded as unjust, false and wrongly convicted and released.
3. The censor was supposed to supervise whether there were violations of laws and disciplines in the officialdom, but he demanded bribes wantonly. If he did not give bribes to the local officials in Huaiyang, he would give negative reviews and report them. The local officials could only pay bribes and spend money to avoid being framed.
.
4. He successively accepted two thousand taels of gold from the magistrate of Huoqiu County to exonerate him and seek promotion for him.
5. During the supervision of the reconstruction project of the three main halls, there was massive corruption and shoddy materials, which caused safety hazards, put His Majesty and ministers in danger, and deceived the emperor.
6. His son could not write articles at all, so he secretly instructed the examiner Sun Zhixian to admit him.
7. He uses public weapons for private purposes, and privately uses his younger brother Cui Ningxiu as the chief military officer of Zhejiang. He has no talent and no virtue, which is very absurd.
8. He privately used his son-in-law Zhang Yuanfang as the head of the household department.
9. His concubine’s younger brother was originally an actor. According to the system of this dynasty, he was not allowed to be an official. He was appointed as Miyun General in violation of regulations.
10. Pretending to lead Ningyuan, he took credit for the Battle of Jinzhou and obtained the crown prince and tutor.
11. Forged evidence and forced Gao Panlong and others to death.
12. Construct the upright ministers of the DPRK.
13. Form a secret party and plot evil.
This guy's voice was like a loud bell, which startled the ministers who were a little sleepy when they got up in the middle of the night.
Immediately afterwards, one minister after another came forward to impeach Cui Chengxiu.
The strangest thing is that Yang Suoxiu, the deputy capital imperial envoy within Wei Zongxian's group, actually impeached Cui Chengxiu, saying that his mother had died and he refused to let Ding You go home to observe filial piety.
Yang Weihuan, the censor, accused him of corruption and perverting the law.
The imperial censor Jia Jichun attacked him for taking a good family as his concubine, and occupied countless people's properties and shops.
There was a sudden chaos in the main hall.
People in Wei Zhongxian's system looked at Wei Zhongxian one after another, not knowing what was going on and how to start the fighting mode.
Wei Zhongxian was also dumbfounded. He had known that Cui Chengxiu had conflicts with other members of the Eunuch Party. Cui Chengxiu was a solitary person, domineering, and arbitrary. Many people hated him. Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the Eunuch Party actually started fighting among itself.
The ministers of other factions were very surprised that the eunuch party actually split.
The courtiers immediately felt that the storm was coming.
The direction of the struggle has changed, and the eunuchs are showing signs of collapse.
After the censors came forward, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Gan Party, which had been suppressed for a long time by the Nine Thousand Years Old, came forward one after another. Cui Chengxiu was almost drowned out by the impeachment memorials.
Wei Zhongxian's face turned pale and he didn't know what to do. He could no longer suppress his opposition.
Since the death of Tianqi, he has been a paper tiger, but he has not been pierced. Once he is pierced, he will be knocked back to his original shape in an instant.
The facts of what he did in the Tianqi Dynasty are all there, and every word in these memorials is heart-breaking.
On the surface, it was to impeach Cui Chengxiu, but every word was directed towards him.
He has no defense. Everyone in the government and the public knows about these things. He relied on the emperor's trust and was openly domineering.
Chongzhen sat on the throne, looking at the chaos below, and smiled silently. Before I could take action, the eunuchs actually started fighting on their own.
Minister of the Ministry of War, you have the power to command the army and horses of the world, and you are willing to give up the Wei eunuch. Do you want the Ministry of War and let the eunuchs split? Or give up the Ministry of War and maintain the unity of the eunuchs.
It's up to you.
Wei Zhongxian lowered his eyelids and kept calculating in his mind whether he could protect Cui Chengxiu or not.
It seems that there are many smart people. They can see that something is wrong with the eunuchs. Many people want to throw Cui Chengxiu out to take the blame. They want to lose the soldiers and save the commander, so as to get through.
Cui Chengxiu has done many evil things and offended too many people. Today's impeachment spree is actually an outburst of his long-suppressed anger as the situation changes.
Bail it or not. If you keep it, you can continue to control the Ministry of War, but public anger is difficult to offend!
It would be too much of a loss to protect him, but if you don't protect him, what if His Majesty clings to this matter and looks for backstage, comrades on the side, and claws for minions?
Don't make this a big case with far-reaching implications.
After weighing the pros and cons, Jiu Qiansui felt that Cui Chengxiu must be abandoned immediately. This moment was the critical moment, and the eunuch party must not be divided because of Cui Chengxiu.
After the court is over, I should talk to His Majesty. Just let Cui Chengxiu go home and Ding You, don't make it a big case.
Cui Chengxiu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He could only kneel in front of Chongzhen, took off his official hat and placed it on the ground, indicating that he was suspended from duty and listened to the matter.
Chongzhen was expressionless and noncommittal. He asked Wang Chengen to accept these impeachment memorials and directly announced his resignation from the court.
The news that Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War and the Crown Prince, had been impeached on thirteen counts of crime spread throughout the government and the public as if it had wings.
There was a lot of discussion in the restaurants.
A man who looked like a scholar cursed at the people at the table with anger: "I knew a long time ago that he would not end well. He instructed Sun Zhixian, the bad guy with sores on the soles of his feet and pus on his head, to kill the learned ones.
In the same year, they all failed the examination one by one. His disciples, slaves, and brothers-in-law were all admitted one after another. This time, the local examination in Shandong became his family's."
Another man who looked like a businessman sighed and said: "I don't need to mention Cui Shangshu's greed. In the past, what he could do with ten taels of silver, but since he came to power, he may not be able to do it with forty or fifty taels. He
That appetite is so voracious."
A man dressed like a prince sneered: "I didn't expect that it would be a member of the eunuch party who impeached him this time. He is so full of evil that even a nine-thousand-year-old man can't tolerate him."
"Hey, he only has money in his eyes. He doesn't care who you are. He has been a godfather for nine thousand years. He is not lenient at all to his own people. No one has been harmed by him this time.
Seeing that Jiu Qiansui is no longer reliable, he probably doesn’t dare to come forward anymore, so we immediately rallied to attack him. Take advantage of the opportunity to take him down first.”
The businessman said with lingering fear: "Jiu QianSui has been using commercial tax and mining tax to supplement agricultural taxes over the past few years. Why should those gentry ask us to make up for their shortfalls if they don't pay taxes? Jiu QianSui has been increasing taxes on merchants. Now the business is
It’s getting harder and harder to do. It is said that these are all secretly instigated by Cui Shangshu and others. I hope your Majesty will drive them all out of the court as soon as possible. We really can’t bear it anymore. I hope Jiu Qiansui will not protect him this time.
.”
The man who looked like a young master sneered: "Humph, you still think he is nine thousand nine hundred years old? Without the late emperor, he is a fallen phoenix and not as good as a chicken. Now it is difficult to protect himself, so why don't you protect him? Huh?"
