Chapter 161 Our Ministry of Household did not impeach you
Inside the Qinzheng Hall, it was eerily quiet, with only the beeping sound of the lights burning.
Li Dingyuan sat high on the dragon chair and looked at the officials who impeached Su Lu, including the six departments of Li Hu, Li, Gong, Criminal and Soldiers. Only the Hu Bu has not yet submitted the impeachment.
Zhongshu ordered Guo Ping to speak, "Your Majesty, Su Lu is a disrespectful official, unfair and unreliable in handling affairs, which has made officials in various ministries angry. I hope your Majesty will carefully consider whether the governor of Yanjing is suitable."
Li Dingyuan ignored Guo Ping and asked the Minister of Industry: "Yang Biao, why didn't your Ministry of Husbandry impeach Su Lu? Why didn't Su Lu offend your Ministry of Husbandry?"
Yang Biao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, scolded Guo Ping in his heart, saying, "Fifth Ministry of Finance impeached Su Lu, you know nothing."
Do you know how much income Su Lu brings to the Ministry of Household Affairs?
The confiscated criminal property these days, excluding the rewards given to the Imperial Guard, has a surplus that exceeds the fiscal and tax revenue of a state. When it comes to Su Lu's contribution to the Ministry of Revenue these days, it is only comparable to that of several southern states.
You guys are a bunch of people who have been exposed to many things. Yang Biao slandered these ministers endlessly.
Facing the gazes of his colleagues, Yang Biao stepped out of the queue and said respectfully:
"Su Houye has devoted his loyalty to the country and fought bloody battles. Now he serves as the governor of Yanjing. He has pulled out many moths for the imperial court. He is a responsible and good official. I, Yang Biao, can only admire him. How could he impeach him?"
A group of officials were angry and despised Yang Biao. Do you admire Su Lu? Do you admire the money Su Lu brought you from ransacking your house?
The officials started to quarrel.
Gao Zhan looked at the emperor who was rubbing his temples and couldn't help but feel worried. The emperor hadn't slept all night. If he got angry again, the court would be doomed.
Two young eunuchs at the door whispered a few words, and one young eunuch looked at Gao Zhan on the imperial steps.
Gao Zhan's heart moved, and he motioned to the little eunuch to come over. The little eunuch came close to the palace wall and handed a brochure to Gao Zhan. Gao Zhan opened the brochure and read it, and his eyes lit up.
Mr. Suhou is truly your Majesty’s blessed general.
Gao Zhan held the memorial in both hands and reported it to Li Dingyuan:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Su has made great achievements again. He ambushed for several nights and finally caught a group of Tule people who colluded with the Cao Gang last night and captured and killed them all."
Li Dingyuan, who was staring in confusion, was shocked when he heard this. He took the folder and said with a smile: "Let's see, where did Su Lu catch the Thule people again?"
After reading Su Lu's fold, Li Dingyuan's smile froze and he threw the fold on Guo Ping's forehead, suppressing the quarrel among the officials in the palace.
"It's so noisy, why don't you stop arguing?"
"Impeach Su Lu? Why don't you look at how many things Su Lu has done?"
"I know in my heart why you are impeaching Su Lu. I tell you that Su Lu is my favorite general and will definitely be of great use in the future. It is useless for anyone to impeach him."
Li Huaiyuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, struggled and said: "Your Majesty, Su Lu mobilized the Forbidden Army without authorization. He is violating the rules. Today he can mobilize a group of Forbidden Army, but tomorrow he dares to mobilize a brigade or even a battalion."
"Snapped"
Another memorial hit Li Huaiyuan on the forehead.
Li Dingyuan almost roared and said: "Li Huaiyuan, I don't want to listen to Da Zongzheng's nagging, so I have appointed you as Minister of War. Are you on my side, or are you here to go against me?"
After scolding Li Huaiyuan, Li Dingyuan turned to Gao Zhan and asked: "Did Su Lu just call a group of forbidden troops? Why are there so few?"
Gao Zhan replied: "This group of forbidden troops was mobilized from the patrol camp. The governor Qian'er reported it to you. Lord Su wants to arrest the Cao Gang rebels. The government office is overwhelmed with arrests and wants to borrow some forbidden troops."
Go and press the battle."
Under the imperial steps, Guo Ping had already finished reading the booklet in his hand, and his expression suddenly turned miserable.
Everyone here was busy impeaching Su Lu, but they did not expect that Su Lu had already captured a group of Cao Gang rebels, and also captured and killed many Tule people.
No, he only has a group of forbidden troops, about ten people. How could he achieve such great results?
Closing the fold, Guo Ping cupped his fists and saluted Li Dingyuan: "I impeached Su Lu for falsely reporting military exploits and exaggerating the figures..."
Li Dingyuan was going crazy and ordered Gao Zhan: "Go, call Su Lu and bring the heads of the Tule people and the Cao gang. I will reward all the soldiers who participated in quelling the thieves this time.
"
The ministers waited until the sun rose before they saw Su Lu and the dozen sacks behind him.
Su Lu yawned and entered the Qinzheng Palace. Under the strange eyes of a group of officials, he walked to the imperial steps and saluted Li Dingyuan.
Li Dingyuan waved his hand: "Su Lu, you are doing well, I am very pleased. Dear ministers, this head has also been transported. If you have any doubts, please go and have a look."
All the officials looked at me and I looked at you, but they were unwilling to go out to see it.
Guo Ping looked at several ministers of the Ministry of Justice. They had no choice but to go out of the main hall and check the heads.
It didn't take much effort before the two pale-faced waiters came back.
"Your Majesty, these heads were beheaded no more than two hours ago. Twenty-six of them have obvious facial features and can be judged to be Thule people. The remaining 82 heads are a little fuzzy and not very big.
It can be determined.”
Guo Ping looked at the Minister of Punishment who was speaking in bewilderment. Damn it, there were really so many Thule people. How could it be possible that Su Lu could kill ten times as many enemies by calling on a dozen or so imperial troops?
Li Dingyuan knew what the officials were thinking and told Su Lu: "Su Lu, bring in all the soldiers who have made meritorious service. I will personally reward them."
After several announcements, Lu Ming, Gaoping and a group of imperial guards, together with a dozen or so policemen from Zhao Kuo who were traveling behind, entered the hall at the same time.
A chilling and fierce aura enveloped the area, and all the officials present stepped back one after another, trying to avoid the evil aura and unpleasant smell of the forbidden troops.
Gao Ping curled his lips, no matter who lay down in the dock warehouse for five days, there would be a fishy smell all over his body.
Guo Ping pointed at the agents and asked: "Su Lu, did these agents also participate in killing the enemy? Don't falsely report your military exploits. As far as I know, the agents in Yanjing Mansion are not experts and can just run errands."
, he is not even capable of fighting."
Su Lu looked at Guo Ping with a smile: "Why, Mr. Guo doesn't believe in the abilities of my group of agents?"
"That's right. Mr. Guo is a civil servant. It's normal for him to know how to deal with military matters and not to know my ability to command and train troops."
"Don't talk about a group of bloody fast-moving men. Even a weakling like Mr. Guo will be trained into a strong army in a hundred battles by me, Su Lu."
After a battle at the pier, the proficiency levels of the two level 1 long sword formation cards were finally unified, and the first level 2 long sword formation card was synthesized even though the proficiency levels were not yet full.
After clarifying the synthesis direction of the array cards, Su Lu felt relieved. The next step was to explore the synthesis direction of the weapon cards and start to synthesize level 4 soldier cards and array cards according to the synthesis direction.
So Su Lu is in a good mood now.
Well, of course, because he was holding a letter written by Li Xun to Guo Ping, which was the reason why Su Lu was in a better mood.
As the highest official in Zhongshu Province, Guo Ping's grandson repeatedly obstructed his actions. Most of the memorials to impeach him were ordered by Guo Ping. If he did not deal with this grandson, Su Lu felt that he could not suppress his anger.
Looking sideways at the civil and military officials in the hall, Su Lu said in a disdainful tone.
"If Mr. Guo doesn't believe it, you can come and try to see if these detectives can beat the crap out of you."
"There are also Li Shangshu and Sun Shangshu. You can come and try to see if my newly trained little detectives can beat the crap out of you."
Yang Biao laughed: "Master Su Hou, our Ministry of Revenue has not impeached you. You can't drag our Ministry of Revenue into it too."
