Chapter 688: Young people should not be too arrogant
How powerful can an impeachment memorial from a small sixth-rank official be? The impeachment target of this memorial is also backed by the chief minister of the cabinet.
That must be a small thing shaking a big tree, which is ridiculous and overestimating. In people's opinion, it is impossible to succeed at all. People are waiting to see this Xiao Liupin's joke.
However, the facts stunned people.
Within one day
One of the third rank, one of the fifth rank, and two of the sixth rank were demoted from their posts to civilians, and were taken outside the Meridian Gate and beaten with imperial sticks; one of the seventh rank was demoted from his post to the civilians, and was exiled to the smog; and one of the fifth rank was detained in accordance with the law. Deprived of life, beheaded and executed later in the year.
In short, 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.
And
it’s just because of a memorial from this sixth-rank official.
This kind of efficiency puts the officials in the Ming Dynasty to shame, including the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Liu Ke Shi. For them, throughout their entire lives as officials, their achievements are no better than that of this little Liu Ke. The result of a memorial by Pinguan.
Luo Jingbin and Hu Ke, both from the Experience Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, were at home having wine with their two cousins Zhang Hujiang, so they couldn't help but discuss the matter.
“This rat that gnawed at the foundation of the imperial court was caught by a puppy. Doesn’t it make us cats so useless?” Luo Binbin clinked a glass of wine with his cousin Zhang Hujiang , said leisurely after drinking.
"It's not enough if it's just one. The key is that it's a litter of six big rats, including a rat spirit..." Zhang Hujiang said with emotion when he first heard the news. In the end, everyone was 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 lives, let alone the mice. We should work hard, otherwise it will be obvious. It’s so useless.”
“Yes.” Zhang Hujiang nodded, and then looked at Luo Bin.
"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, the two cousins took advantage of their drunkenness to draft a memorial with impassioned words, like a beautiful article, and then neatly signed their names. Without any delay, he sent someone directly to send him out.
It is said that today the General Administration Bureau received several times more impeachment memorials than usual, which made the officials of the General Affairs Bureau look confused. They did not understand why these officials were so crazy and piled up for impeachment... …
< br>Today, there was also a private party at the residence of Yan Maoqing, the deputy censor of Zuodu. There were not many people. Several of the people present were friends of Yan Maoqing, including Wang Xueyi, the minister of punishment, Zhang Guangzheng, censor of right Qiandu, and the minister of industry. Minister Zhao Wenhua.
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, wine and jade liquor. Yan Maoqing and others on the table were drinking and chatting about today's events.
In the case of Zhao Daying, 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 his qualifications in Yandang, In other words, Wang Xueyi is far behind.
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. It has been ten or twenty years. It goes without saying that Yan Maoqing has served as official It has been more than ten years since I was a pedestrian and I have been with Yan Song and Yan Shifan. Zhang Guangzheng is also a senior member of the Yan Party, but due to his limited ability, his official promotion is 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 person and deceive Master Yan. Master Yan asked the Holy One for his sins. Fortunately, the Holy One was aware of everything and not only did not blame the Prime Minister, but praised the Prime Minister for his kind behavior. 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.
Therefore, Zhang Guangzheng was so gloating when he saw Zhao Qiu being demoted to serve as a civilian. I asked you to fight with me back then, okay now, I didn't fight with you back then, but now, I am still the censor of Youqiandu, and you have been beaten to the end, and you can't even become an official. When Yan Maoqing takes charge of the salt administration in Zhejiang, Lianghuai, Changlu and Hedong, the position of deputy censor of Zuodu will be mine. The one who laughs last is the winner.
"How can we understand the Holy Will?" Yan Maoqing picked up the teacup, gently scraped it twice, and said lightly.
"Of course, although Zhao Daying deserves his punishment, Zhu Ping'an, a little thief, is too rampant. He knows clearly that Zhao Daying was rewarded by Yan Ge Lao, but he still does this." Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Punishment, said Zhu Ping'an's words and deeds when she was confessing her love made her heartache, and when she thought about the scene where she was crushed by Zhu Ping'an's hands many times when she was confessing her love, it still made her itch.
"Haha, young people succeed in their ambitions, it's all this problem, but we still have a long way to go in life." Yan Maoqing took a sip of tea and smiled disdainfully.
"Life is still a long road, young people should not be too arrogant" Zhang Guangzheng added after Yan Maoqing's words.
Haha
Hearing this, Yan Maoqing and Zhang Guangzheng looked at each other and smiled, feeling that heroes had similar views.
"Haha, Mr. Yan and Mr. Zhang have great views. Zhongyong has been injured a lot 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 bad luck. of.
Zhao Wenhua looked at a few people at the table, nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, hiding a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
How can someone who can pull down uncle and nephew Zhao Qiu and his gang in front of you all be said to be arrogant?
If Zhu Pingan was an idiot like Shang Zhongyong, why would I have caught someone else's son-in-law?
How can a young man who was able to pass the imperial examination at the age of thirteen and take the first prize at the age of fourteen be easy to get along with if he can write such a policy to deal with the Japanese?
The last person to pass the examination at the age of thirteen was the powerful Yang Shoufu. (End of this chapter)
