The one who stood out was the Li Ke Ji Shi Zhong. The responsibilities of the Liu Ke Ji Shi Zhong were similar to those of the Censor, but more professional and specific. They were responsible for a specific department among the six departments.
In the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, it is the duty of supervising the officials of the Ministry of Personnel to ensure that they have not neglected their duties.
The person he impeached was not simple. Although Tang Ning was not the real Minister of Civil Affairs, he was the emperor's favorite, and his power was still higher than that of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Being arbitrary and arbitrary is a taboo in official examinations, and overstepping one's authority is even more taboo. As for causing trouble to the local area, if this label is implemented, I am afraid that he will be recalled to the capital immediately for questioning.
Li Kegui continued: "Tang Ning, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, arrested and imprisoned Ezhou governor, Biejia, Changshi, Sima and other officials without the permission of the imperial court. This caused widespread resentment and panic among the people in Ezhou. I sincerely request your majesty to immediately
It is not too late to recall him to the capital for accountability and send another official to take the Jiangnan Road exam..."
Many officials in the court still didn't know what Li Ke was impeaching Tang Ning for, but after hearing what he said, they knew better.
What is the situation in Jiangnan? Each and every official in the DPRK and Central Government knows better than the other. No one from Beijing who is sent to Jiangnan dares to interfere in the affairs of Jiangnan.
But this time they encountered someone who was fearless, and they could only admit that they were unlucky.
Ezhou is not big, but many people know about it. One of the several large copper mines owned by Chen State is in Ezhou.
The imperial court tried to raise mining taxes many times, but was blocked by Jiangnan officials. There was naturally something fishy about it. It was no accident that Ezhou local officials fell into the hands of Tang Ning this time.
But similarly, some people in the court would not let him go so easily. Even if the Ezhou officials were convicted, many officials representing the interests of Jiangnan would seize on him and recall him from Jiangnan first.
After Li Ke spoke up about the matter, several officials came forward to second his opinion.
Such situations where several officials impeach someone at the same time must have been discussed in advance, and the officials who came forward were either from Jiangnan or had close ties with Jiangnan.
In Taichung, several censors were filled with indignation because Tang Ning not only arrested Ezhou officials, but also captured the censor Zhongcheng and sent him back to the capital. This was a blatant trampling on the dignity of the censor in Taichung.
Several senior officials signed a petition to remonstrate, but Chen Huang's expression was quite indifferent.
He looked down and said: "I am tired today. This matter will be discussed at the next court meeting."
After saying that, he stood up and left from the back hall.
After the court meeting dispersed, Fang Hong walked out of the hall, and Sun Qian, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, rushed over from behind, shook his head and said, "Master Fang, what should we do?"
What Tang Ning was doing in Ezhou was in the capacity of acting for the Ministry of Personnel. As a result, the Ministry of Personnel suffered a lot of attacks in the palace just now. Shangshu Zhou was ill, so the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel naturally fell into the hands of their two ministers.
On the head.
Fang Hongdao: "Master Tang is not a person who doesn't care about the important and the important. He must have his own reasons for doing this. We just need to wait for those criminals to arrive in the capital, and everything will come to light."
Sun Qian nodded and said: "I also believe that Mr. Tang is not that kind of person, but he may be in big trouble this time..."
After Sun Qian finished speaking, he sighed and said: "It would be okay if Mr. Tang is in the capital. With his ability, officials from the Jiangnan faction may not be able to do anything to him, but if he is far away in Jiangnan, he will not be able to control the situation in the capital...
…”
Fang Hong smiled and said: "Master Sun still doesn't understand Master Tang. Even if he is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, those people in the capital can't stand him. What we really need to worry about is them..."
The two of them walked out of the palace gate and went straight to the official office.
At the same time, in a carriage on the street, Tang Qi looked at a middle-aged man and said: "He jumped into this muddy water in the south of the Yangtze River himself. Now that he has jumped in, he should not come out again...
…”
A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face and he said: "My lord, this trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone is really wonderful. Ezhou relies on Prime Minister Feng's relationship. He has disrupted Ezhou, Prime Minister Feng and the people around him.
Can you let him go easily?"
Tang Qi shook his head and said, "All this depends on Your Majesty..."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't you understand your Majesty's temperament, Mr. Tang? Unless you can obtain huge and unimaginable benefits, your Majesty will not watch the court fall into chaos..."
It’s so powerful. Only one person can defeat half of Jiangnan?”
He looked at Tang Qi, narrowed his eyes, and said, "If Prime Minister Feng and his party can give His Majesty a stable court, what can Tang Ning give to Your Majesty? For Your Majesty, what is more important than the stability of the court?"
"
…
In the royal study.
After Emperor Chen went to court, he usually came directly to the imperial study to handle political affairs. However, this time, he did not review the memorials. Instead, he frowned and paced slowly in the palace.
He knew about the matter in Ezhou yesterday, and he also expected that in today's morning court, officials from the Jiangnan faction would hold on to the matter, and he had already been mentally prepared for this.
What he was worried about was not that the Jiangnan faction was causing rebellion in the court. What he was worried about was whether those Jiangnan rebels had penetrated into Ezhou?
Although Ezhou is located on the west side of the Yangtze River, it is also on the edge of the two south side of the Yangtze River. It is not very far from the capital and can be reached within a few days of a quick march. If even Ezhou is infiltrated by counter-robbers, is this Jiangnan still the Jiangnan of Chen's country?
But if it weren't for those rebels, why would Tangning go to such great lengths to kill all the high-ranking officials in Ezhou? He wouldn't be full...
Now the situation in the grassland has changed again. The Wanyan tribe is about to unify the grassland. The country of Xiaowan in the Western Region is annexing and expanding at an astonishing speed. In less than two years, everything except Shazhou will be their base. From ancient times, the Western Region has always been the leader.
, there must be a battle with the Central Plains, and ambitions will always expand with the expansion of territory...
It happened that at this time, Jiangnan was in chaos again...
The Chen Kingdom seemed to be glorious on the surface, but in fact it was suffering from internal and external troubles. Under such circumstances, some officials in the court did not think about how to run the country and strengthen the army. They only knew how to form gangs and attack dissidents. They only had their own interests in mind.
Like moths attached to the imperial court, they absorb the nutrients of the country and strengthen themselves. Once the Chen State changes and a new dynasty is changed in the future, even if the Zhao Dynasty dies, they can still be their high officials...
boom!
A sharp look gradually appeared on Chen Huang's face, and he punched the table with his fist, which frightened the eunuch serving beside him and turned pale.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry." Wei Jian stepped forward and said, "Master Tang has always been trustworthy in his work. When he comes back from Ezhou, everything will come to light."
"I do believe him." Chen Huang breathed a sigh of relief and added: "But even the court officials got the news, but he didn't send anyone to send a letter back to me to explain. Is it because he doesn't bother to explain, or is he planning to give me a surprise then?
"
…
After the news of Ezhou reached the capital, the already restless court stirred up trouble again.
Everyone knows that the Jiangnan faction headed by Prime Minister Feng has always been very protective of Jiangnan's interests. Tangning's actions in Ezhou this time undoubtedly offended this group.
According to insiders, they have united dozens of officials from the DPRK and China to list Tang Ning's top ten crimes, and are waiting to attack His Majesty directly in the morning of the next day.
However, before the next day, news came from the palace.
Your Majesty is ill and will be absent from court for ten days.
