Shen Yi impeached eight people in total.
They are all members of Cui Yu's family.
Moreover, although these people are not of high rank and are basically fifth grade or below, they all belong to some relatively important yamen and some relatively weighted positions.
Especially the two positions in the official department!
Outside the palace gate, Shen Yi told Xianggong Zhao that he would quarrel because once these positions became vacant, Zhongshu would probably quarrel several times because of these vacancies.
Among the civil and military officials, Chen Yu, a doctor in the examination department who was standing among the officials, had eyes that were fiery and excited when he heard that Shen Yi was going to impeach officials.
The two hands under the loose robe were trembling slightly.
but…
When he heard Shen Yi read out a series of names, Dr. Chen froze on the spot and froze.
Because these people were not mentioned in the "evidence" he gave Shen Yi!
Not even a word was mentioned!
His evidence only targets Cui Yu!
His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Shen Yi who was bowing to him with great interest, and suddenly smiled: "What Shen Qing said in just a few breaths is almost more than what happened in Yushitai in a whole year. too much."
This sentence is easy to understand.
There are so many Beijing officials, and they are important officials. The entire Yushitai cannot impeach so many in a year.
In fact, we haven’t been able to impeach so many for several years!
Especially when these officials have backgrounds.
Shen Yi looked calm and whispered: "Your Majesty, maybe I am lucky, or maybe these corrupt officials guarded the censor, but did not guard against me."
"Therefore, I was lucky enough to get some evidence."
He took out the memorial book from his sleeve and held it in both hands: "Your Majesty, please read it."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi, then suddenly turned his head to look at Prime Minister Chen Jing, and said with a smile: "What do you think, Prime Minister Chen?"
Chen Jing felt helpless.
What is the occasion? This is a great meeting!
How else could he see it here?
Prime Minister Chen stood up, holding the imperial scepter in his hand, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I, Chen, have always enforced strict laws. If there is any illegal behavior such as corruption and perversion of the law, naturally we should investigate and deal with it strictly and never tolerate it."
The emperor then nodded and said, "Then Gao Ming, go get Shen Aiqing's documents."
"Keep it for now. I will take a closer look later and send someone to investigate the matter."
After hearing the emperor's words, the expressions of many people present changed suddenly.
Because among the people Shen Yi impeached, except for the county magistrate of the capital and the head of the Ministry of Personnel, the others were all around the fifth rank, and they were basically all in the imperial meeting.
In other words, these parties were present.
At that moment, many people involved stood up in a hurry, knelt down in front of the emperor, and shouted that they were wronged.
Most of these people knew the pros and cons, so they did not dare to look at Cui Yu, but there were still one or two dumbfounded young people who looked at Cui Yu with pleading eyes, hoping that Cui Xiang would speak for them.
The emperor frowned and said, "I haven't found out whether the matter is true. I haven't found out yet. What does it look like to cry all over the place?"
"Left and right, take them down first and lock them in their respective homes, waiting for the court to investigate."
Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor said quietly: "If what Minister Shen said is untrue, I will naturally clear your name."
After saying this, the emperor looked at Cui Yu calmly.
Cui Xianggong didn't look sideways in the meantime, his face remained calm, as if what happened in the court had nothing to do with him.
The smile on the emperor's face increased by one or two points.
However, he quickly stopped his smile, coughed, and said seriously: "It's rare for Shen Aiqing to not only fight the enemy bravely on the front line, but also care about court affairs after returning to Jiankang."
"I feel so relieved."
He looked at Zhongshu and asked: "Mr. Chen, has the imperial edict I sent you finished with Zhongshu?"
Chen Jing looked around at his four "colleagues".
The four prime ministers looked intently, as if the emperor's question had nothing to do with them.
Chen Jing could only bite the bullet and step forward, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's finished and can be sent out at any time."
"Well, since it's over, I'll use this grand meeting to announce it directly."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi and smiled and said: "Shen Aiqing spent the entire year this year attacking Northern Qi and made great achievements many times. After discussing with several prime ministers and officials, I decided to promote Shen Qing to the governor of Shandong! Next year, for me, for Da Chen..."
"Nurture the people of Shandong and treat the people who return to the Han Dynasty well."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of almost everyone in the court fell on Shen Yi again.
The man surnamed Shen was promoted by the emperor as soon as he submitted a letter to join the party, but before the results came out, the results of those impeachments were self-evident.
Shen Yi was respectful, knelt down and thanked him: "The Northern Expedition was entirely due to your majesty's planning and the sacrifice of the soldiers on the front line. I really have no merit. Now that I have received the emperor's favor many times, I am ashamed..."
The emperor smiled and said: "You can lead if you are asked. Anyway, whether you can become the governor of Shandong depends on yourself."
Having said this, the emperor looked at the civil and military officials in the court and said calmly: "My dear friends, who is not convinced?"
"If you are not convinced, you can speak up. I will immediately deprive Shen Qing of the governorship of Shandong and transfer it to all of you."
No one dared to speak.
Good guy, only one of the six prefectures in Shandong has been brought back. If Shen Yi doesn't go and someone else goes to Shandong, it will be fine if he wins the battle, but if he fails to win, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of losing his official position.
No one dared to answer.
The emperor then made a final decision: "Then the matter is settled."
"If you have any opinions in your heart, if you don't say anything today, you won't be able to make any noise here in the future."
Shen Yi bowed his head.
"minister…"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The emperor raised his hand, indicating that he should stand up.
Shen Yi then stood up, still standing behind Jiang Shangshu, touched the little old man with his shoulder, and chuckled: "Master, now you and I are on the same level."
Old Man Jiang turned around and rolled his eyes at Shen Yi, and said angrily.
"Next year, I will beg for your bones and give you the position of Minister of War!"
Mr. Shen smiled hoarsely: "That's not necessary. I will work for a few more years, and it will not be too late to retire when the official comes back from the north."
Jiang Jian glared at Shen Yi angrily, then smiled helplessly, looked at Cui Yu in front of him, and whispered: "This time, you kid has offended me to death."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, disapprovingly.
"He was the one who offended the subordinate first."
"young people…"
Old Man Jiang pursed his lips and muttered softly.
"So angry..."
………………
This court meeting lasted for a long time and did not come to an end until the afternoon. After the court meeting, Shen Yi had just left Deqing Palace when he was invited to Ganlu Hall by the young eunuch.
In the Manna Palace, His Majesty the Emperor saw Shen Yi walking in with a smile on his face.
"You Shen Qi, you are so cruel."
He clicked his tongue and said, "You've almost fucked off all the officials in the Cui family in one go."
Shen Yi lowered his head and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, these people deserve their punishment. I am just doing it for the sake of the imperial court."
There was still a smile in the corner of the emperor's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Where did those evidences come from? I just looked through it, it is very detailed, don't tell me, you collected it in the past few days."
"The Di Reporting Department has this evidence a long time ago."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and sighed: "Your Majesty, you also know in your heart that few of these officials in Jiankang can withstand investigation."
The emperor snorted and pretended to be angry: "Since we found out early on, why are we reporting it now? Don't you want to refresh the official system?"
Shen Yi said calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, the Reporting Department is not the minister's Reporting Department, but His Majesty's Reporting Department. If His Majesty wants to investigate these evidences, he can investigate them early. If he wants to investigate, he can investigate them early."
"I specialize in the Northern Expedition and don't have the energy to care about these things."
The emperor was satisfied with this answer. He smiled and asked, "Why do you have energy again now?"
Mr. Shen looked serious: "I occasionally have some free time, so naturally I want to uphold justice for our country!"
"Ha ha!"
The emperor was amused by this answer.
"You, Shen Qi, are still eloquent."
He patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I thought you were going to participate in Cui Yu today."
Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi's heart moved and he was thoughtful.
But he quickly reacted and lowered his head slightly.
"Zhongshu and the Prime Minister are all under your Majesty's heart."
After hearing this, the emperor returned to his seat and chuckled: "Actually, it doesn't matter that much. At least it doesn't matter to Cui Guangxian."
"It's just that I don't have a more suitable candidate now. If you want to touch him, you have to compensate me for a more suitable prime minister."
"Otherwise, how about we give up now?"
Shen Yi took a deep breath.
He guessed correctly, the emperor did not want to touch Cui Yu, at least not for the time being.
And since the emperor said that the two sides should give up, it means that even if Cui Yu suffers a loss, he can no longer fight back.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi lowered his head slightly.
"Your Majesty the Holy Might..."
