Chapter 1957 Impeachment Frenzy
That day, the sky was clear and clear, the warm sunshine shone between the two of them, and the heavy snow that had been falling for several days in various parts of the north finally stopped completely.
After more than half a month, we finally have a day of warm sunshine.
Today’s sun is also particularly strong. Before noon, the temperature has risen to five or six degrees above zero.
The snow on the ground, on the eaves, on the trees, and in the rivers everywhere began to melt, and tiny streams of water flowed out from under the ice and snow. The artistic conception was extremely beautiful.
Xiyuan, Wuyi Hall.
The three elders, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Li Ben, as well as the six ministers including Li Mo, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the ministers on duty at Wuyi Palace gathered together and respectfully sat on the dragon chair. Emperor Jiajing saluted.
As usual, only Yan Song was given a seat, while the others, including Xu Jie and Li Ben, stood.
"Okay, I have called you here today because of the Japanese incident in Suzhou and Jiaxing. In the past two days, I have collected a lot of memorials related to the Japanese incident in these two places. I read them one by one yesterday. Today I'm too lazy to read it."
"Half an hour ago, Huang Ban had brought all the transcripts and circulated them to you."
"Let's talk about the merits, demerits, rewards and punishments of the relevant officials involved in the Japanese affairs in these two places, and how to deal with them."
Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair casually, waved his sleeves, and said to the people below The ministers ordered.
While everyone below was still hesitating whether to be the first to stand up, someone had already stood up.
Yu Shi Guo Kui was the first to stand up and said impassionedly, "Your Majesty, the trial of the Three Law Divisions a few days ago has confirmed that the Suzhou war report is true. Yesterday, the results of the factory guard's Suzhou investigation also came out. There were no killings for more than a hundred miles around Suzhou. This has confirmed that the Suzhou war report is true and the military exploits are unquestionable. This is our country's greatest contribution to the war against the Japanese. I believe that officials related to the defense of Suzhou should be greatly rewarded, especially those from Zhejiang Province. Zhu Ping'an, the deputy envoy of Jiang Tixing's Inspectorate, made great achievements many times after he was demoted to the south of the Yangtze River. This time, he made a mission to defend Suzhou City, kill 40,000 Japanese, capture the Japanese chieftain Chen Dong, destroy and capture a Japanese ship. The brilliant military exploits of more than a hundred ships should be We should reward Zhu Pingan with great rewards, encourage him to make new achievements, and also encourage local officials in Jiangnan who suffered from Japanese invasion to learn from and imitate Zhu Pingan!"
"No!"
As soon as Yushi Guo Kui finished speaking, five officials stood up and raised their voices to object.
After they all stood up, they realized that the standing was heavy, but they were all members of the Strict Party. They looked at each other and reached a consensus without speaking. One of the officials spoke first, and the other four Back off for now.
"Yushi Guo's words are wrong! If Zhu Ping'an is rewarded greatly, the tens of thousands of people who were killed by Japanese pirates in Jiaxing City will die in silence! The hundreds of thousands of people who were burned, killed and looted by Japanese pirates in Jiaxing City will Everyone will live with the injustice."
The official who spoke first when the consensus was reached objected sternly.
“Why do you say this?” Guo Yushi said in a deep voice.
"Why did you say that?! Of course it was the Jiaxing war report! Although Zhu Pingan made great contributions to defending the city and exterminating the Japanese in Suzhou, the fall of Jiaxing City was also Zhu Pingan's responsibility that he could not shirk! It was Zhu Pingan who decentralized Suzhou City Xu Hai and the four hundred remnants of the Japanese army had taken Jiaxing City if Zhu Ping'an hadn't let him go! If Xu Hai and the other four hundred Japanese pirates were gone, Jiaxing City would not have fallen. In other words, Zhu Ping'an was the culprit of the fall of Jiaxing!"
"These Japanese pirates committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting in Jiaxing City. In order to attract Japanese pirates, local ruffians in Suzhou were lured to kill people and set fires to commit suicide. , causing Jiaxing City to be like a hell on earth, tens of thousands of people lost their lives, and hundreds of thousands of people were ravaged by Japanese pirates. Jiaxing City was like a hell on earth, and the people of Jiaxing were struggling in dire straits and heat!"
"Your Majesty, Since ancient times, rewards and punishments have been clearly defined!”
"Zhu Pingan defended Suzhou and should be rewarded; in the same way, Zhu Pingan caused the fall of Jiaxing and should be punished!"
"Zhu Pingan killed 40,000 Japanese and deserved a reward; in the same way, Zhu Pingan caused Jiaxing to fall Tens of thousands of people in the city were killed, and hundreds of thousands of people were burned, killed, and looted. They should be punished!”
"Zhu Pingan destroyed more than a hundred Japanese ships and deserves a reward; in the same way, Zhu Pingan caused thousands of houses in Jiaxing City to be burned down and deserves a punishment!"
"Zhu Pingan captured the Japanese chief Chen Dong and deserves a reward! Reward; in the same way, Zhu Ping'an caused the death of more than a dozen high-ranking officials in Jiaxing City, so he should be punished!"
"Rewards and punishments should be given! Zhu Ping'an's punishment is even greater than the reward! If Zhu Ping'an is rewarded, everyone in Jiaxing Hecheng will not agree!"
The official who spoke first spoke passionately, and in his mouth, one reward and one punishment. After comparing and listing, Zhu Pingan not only should not be rewarded, but even held Zhu Pingan responsible and punished Zhu Pingan.
After the first Strict Party official objected, another Strict Party official stepped forward to take his place.
"Zhu Ping'an was brave and resourceful. In one battle in Suzhou City, he killed 40,000 Japanese at his fingertips, which is enough to show his extraordinary talents..."
As soon as this official spoke, all the officials in the palace were shocked. I didn't Did you hear that wrong? Aren't you an official of the strict Party? Why did you praise Zhu Ping'an? When should you change sides?!
Yu Shi Guo Kui even rubbed his eyes and looked at this official in disbelief. One glance.
Not only Yushi Guo Kui, but also the surrounding Yan Party officials looked at this official in surprise.
We have a traitor in our midst?!
Why did you praise Zhu Ping'an? Did you drink too much last night, or did you play the wrong piece?!
In everyone's surprised eyes, the official changed his voice and turned the blade, "But there are Mr. Zhu, who is brave, resourceful and talented, could wipe out 40,000 Japanese pirates with a snap of his finger, but why didn’t he just kill these hundreds of remaining Japanese pirates?! It was clearly his intention!
Therefore, I Impeachment in Zhejiang Zhu Ping'an, the deputy envoy of the Prosecution and Prosecution Department, deliberately allowed the Japanese pirates to escape and used the neighboring Jiaxing as a ravine. He also deliberately failed to notify Jiaxing Prefecture of the Japanese pirates' entry, causing Jiaxing to be caught off guard and taken advantage of by the Japanese pirates. He fell into the hands of the Japanese pirates. The soul is in ruins!"
For the thousands of people who were murdered in Jiaxing City, and for the hundreds of thousands of people who were ravaged by Japanese pirates in Jiaxing City, I believe that Zhu Ping'an not only deserves no reward, but should also be severely punished to set an example. ”
Yes, yes, this is the right taste! This is right! It feels comfortable!
All the strict party officials nodded their heads and cast approving glances at this official.
Guo Kui snorted, let me just say, how could you speak for Zhu Pingan? I almost thought you took the wrong medicine.
"I impeach Zhu Ping'an for raising Japanese self-respect. They clearly had the ability to wipe out all Japanese pirates, but they deliberately let four hundred remnant Japanese invaders enter Jiaxing. His purpose was to support Japanese self-respect and deliberately indulged the Japanese pirates who were defeated by their subordinates. They went down to Jiaxing City, developed and expanded, and regarded them as military exploits that could be harvested at any time!"
"He, Zhu Ping'an, has repeatedly won the prize for his meritorious service in suppressing the Japanese. He tasted the sweetness of being rewarded, and did not annihilate the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop, just to keep the water flowing, so that he could reap military exploits repeatedly..."
"Zhu Ping'an raised the Japanese to be self-respecting and selfish, causing him to ignore his neighbors. I have ignored the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaxing and ignored the emperor. I have failed to live up to the great kindness of the emperor. I ask that Zhu Ping'an be severely punished. "
Then another Strict Party official stood up. He was very emotional and asked for the impeachment of Zhu Ping'an on behalf of the people. "(End of Chapter)
