The most basic survival condition for the supervisory censor is the right to hear the news. As long as you want to impeach any official, you can do it without any scruples. Anyway, you only have the power to impeach. The final trial is The emperor's policy is arbitrary, and it doesn't matter whether he is right or wrong.
But if everything has to be investigated thoroughly and all witnesses and material evidence are available, then his right to supervise the censor will be greatly reduced. They have no right to investigate!
The most important thing is that he himself impeached Fang Jun for the crime of "oppressing merchants in Guanzhong, attacking Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and using his father's power to obtain ill-gotten wealth, fearing that from now on, the trade routes in the Western Regions would be cut off and the wealth in Guanzhong would wither." , this is just making assumptions, how can there be any real evidence?
Even if there were, Fang Jun controlled the trade routes in the Western Regions and the merchants in Guanzhong, how many people relied on him to survive, who would stand up, and who would dare to stand up and testify against Fang Jun?
Although he is not guilty in any case, if he hears something being done, there must be omissions, which is also allowed by the law. It cannot prove that Fang Jun is guilty, but Fang Jun cannot prove his innocence either. Under pressure, The emperor is still very likely to punish Fang Jun in the end, but the effect will be completely different!
Xie Wenju was a little confused, but Zhang Fang next to him said flatly: "I agree! Although we have the power to report things based on rumors, we must also be upright and treat every impeachment with a rigorous, serious, fair and selfless attitude. .The world is clear and the country's laws are strict. Right and wrong cannot escape the eyes of God, let alone His Majesty's clear insight and the impeachment of minor officials. I request Your Majesty to issue an edict for strict investigation."
Zhang Fang had a serious and generous expression on her face, but she was almost bursting with joy in her heart.
Before impeaching Fang Jun, there was a tacit understanding in the Yushitai.
But Yushitai is definitely not a faction. He and Xie Wenju are not in the same group. It's just that they all have the same goal and are instructed by the leader of the faction to act together.
As for the charges that Xie Wenju impeached against Fang Jun, they were just based on rumors and there was no investigation at all! It was just hearsay, it would be better to say that they were framed and framed to spread the blame! But the charges for his own impeachment were all real. , although it is much lighter than the charge of Xie Wenju's impeachment, the charge of "repeatedly beating the prince, important ministers, officials, and even beating a monk to serious injury on the streets of Chang'an, being arrogant and domineering, and having no regard for the king's law" is even more serious. There is no need to investigate. Who knows about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of Chang'an?
Xie Wenju has always suppressed him, and now a good opportunity has come from heaven. If he can strictly investigate the personal impeachment memorial, he will definitely use Ma Zhou's hand to severely attack Xie Wenju's reputation, and he will definitely take advantage of the situation. It is really Kill two birds with one stone!
Xie Wenju next to him almost spurted out a mouthful of blood when he heard Zhang Fang's impassioned and upright words!
What the hell, you haven’t even achieved victory yet and you’re rebelling?
This guy is so shady, he stabbed us without saying a word...
His Majesty Li Er looked around with gloomy eyes and said, "My dear friends, do you agree with Ma Zhou's intention?"
There was a sudden commotion on the civilian side. Although the main force behind the impeachment of Fang Jun were civilian officials, Fang Xuanling had been an official for decades and had a group of deployment colleagues who wholeheartedly supported him. He was about to go off duty at this time, but he did not want to be overtaken by the military attache. First...
Cheng Yaojin, a stupid, arrogant man, strode out of work and said in a gruff voice: "I agree with Mashe people's proposal. The state has national laws. No matter how heinous the villain is, there must be evidence to convict him.
Is it possible to convict someone just by saying a few unfounded words with red lips and white teeth? I am the first to refuse to accept it!"
Speaking of this rumor, the generals actually suffered a lot from this.
What is the purpose of this group of warriors who want to rebel and conquer the world? Isn't it just to be crowned princes, generals, rich and beautiful women? These people have experienced life and death, and their actions are inevitably a bit casual, as long as it is not related to the principle of "loyalty".
Most of them didn't care too much. But it was precisely because of this that they were regarded as a ladder to promotion by the supervisory censors. They stared at them all day long looking for their mistakes. If they were not careful, they would be immediately exposed to the emperor.
A reprimand is considered frivolous, but at worst it might just be a slap in the face plus a demotion and salary...
Immediately, several more generals stood up, including Yu Chigong, Zhang Shigui and others who all agreed.
One is to fill in the gaps for these supervisory censors and vent their anger for past impeachments, while the other is involved in the civil-military dispute...
Although the world has not yet been at peace and wars are still raging on the borders, the Central Plains are stable, the country has survived the years of war in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and everything is waiting to be revitalized. The importance of civil servants has gradually become apparent. After all, these fighting men are invincible in the battle, but they are invincible in managing the city.
He is a man with a dark eye, and he uses intrigues and tricks to fight in the court. He is not an opponent.
As one goes and the other goes, seeing the life of military commanders and nobles becoming more and more difficult, how can they miss this rare opportunity to attack civilian officials?
Another point is that although Fang Jun is Fang Xuanling's son, he served as a military attache, so he was naturally included in the group of generals and nobles. Naturally, he was not the same as the Qingliu civil servants.
Of course you, your own people, must stand up and support us!
Seeing that the emperor's will had relaxed, the civil servants were a little anxious.
Changsun Wuji stood at the front with an expressionless face, and his eyes inadvertently glanced into the train next to him, and happened to meet a pair of eyes looking over. Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, and the man stepped out of the train.
"Your Majesty, I think that the rumor report is the law of this dynasty. The national law is majestic, how can it be easily changed? If it is like what Ma Sheren and Lu Guogong said, every rumor report of the censor must be passed in advance
Investigation and review, then what is the point of hearing about the incident? If things go on like this, I am afraid that the censor will be slack, treacherous and arrogant, and the way of speech will be blocked, which is not a blessing for the empire! Please think twice, your majesty!"
"Wei Chen agrees!"
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
A large number of civil servants stood up and agreed to defend the right of Qingliu civil servants to hear and report.
At this time, another official came out to report: "Lu Xiaoyu, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, impeached Fang Jun, the secretary of Chongxian Hall. He violated the national law in Qingzhou last year and colluded with King Li You of Qi to kill the entire Wu family of the local wealthy family.
The tactics are cruel and heart-rending. There are no witnesses or witnesses. I beg your Majesty to order a department to file a case and investigate strictly so as to uphold the law of the country!"
Manchao Wenwu took a breath of cold air, is there such a thing?
Although this person with a name and a surname is just a rumor, no one would dare to fabricate such a serious accusation without hesitation. There must be some basis for it. Now, Fang Jun's guy is going to die...
The censors almost raised their arms and cheered. Originally, their side was about to retreat, but who would have expected that there would be a divine assist! This doctor from the Ministry of Punishment didn't hear about the incident. Didn't you hear what others said? There are both witnesses and material evidence.
That’s a solid case!
Let your Fang Jun be treacherous and cunning, why don't you just admit defeat this time?
The ministers who were close to Fang Xuanling and Fang Jun all shook their heads and sighed.
Why is there such a thing? Like the imperial censors, they all believed that this doctor from the Ministry of Justice did not dare to speak nonsense, otherwise a brief investigation would later reveal the authenticity of what he said. If he spoke nonsense, it would be slandering the courtiers.
, frame the prince, deceive the king and ignore the emperor!
Not to mention the nine tribes, even if there are eighteen tribes, they will all be punished by you!
Among the people in the court, only Li Junxian, who was standing in the corner, felt relaxed after hearing this.
Except for the emperor, no one knows the ins and outs of this matter better than him.
At that time, Fang Jun did kill him first and then report it, but who was the Wu family who was killed all over the family? That was a rebel party and a treason! This was because Emperor Shan Gao had difficulty communicating with him far away, so Fang Jun took it upon himself to kill the direct descendants of the Wu family without any serious implication.
.If according to the emperor's wishes, the nine clans are properly annihilated, and everyone in the family is beheaded...
Just now, so many ministers impeached Fang Jun. Even if His Majesty Li Er wanted to defend Fang Jun, he could not blatantly do so. After all, the national law was the most important thing and the court affairs were the most important thing. The emperor could not arbitrarily pardon Fang Jun. Otherwise, how could the civil servants in the world have done so?
Don't make a fuss and get angry?
But it’s different now!
For the Qingzhou case, it was Fang Jun who took the blame for the emperor. Now that it has been revealed, the emperor has the nerve to let these civil servants beat Fang Jun to dust for this matter? If this is really the case, who will do it in the future?
Dare to serve the emperor sincerely? Oh, you can take all the benefits into your own hands and leave the blame to others? Anyone who works for the emperor must be cautious. What if the emperor gives up?
In the words of Fang Jun, if the people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team...
