That night, Li Xunhuan, the supervisory censor, led the imperial army's Beijing camp to seal down Anjia's five granaries overnight and confiscated 220,000 shi of grain.
Li Xunhuan's actions shocked the capital. The originally silent night in the capital suddenly became turbulent and undercurrent. All parties began to frequently exchange news and collude.
Among them, the most enthusiastic one is the Xungui Group headed by the King of Chu. When the water transportation was blocked before, the Xungui Group was already preparing to take action.
The biggest manipulator behind water transportation smuggling is the Xungui Group. Yang Qingyuan's thorough investigation of water transportation will cut off their financial path. Originally, Yang Qingyuan had Zhou Disheng's exclusive authority to thoroughly investigate water transportation, and the Xungui Group did not have much to target. The place.
However, the Xungui Group saw an opportunity when they secretly deployed troops to seal down Anjia's granary at night.
In the capital of the gods, it is a serious crime to mobilize troops privately at night. The spokesperson of the Xungui Group in the Ministry of War has confirmed that it has not received a memorial from Yang Qingyuan to mobilize troops. This time, the Xungui Group became more energetic and missed this opportunity to deal with Yang Qingyuan and Yang Qingyuan. Li Xunhuan, I don’t know how long it will take.
The Xungui Group, the King of Chu Group, and the An family worked together overnight, intending to launch an attack on Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan during the morning court of the next day.
But the night is still long and no one knows what will happen? Today's planning may not necessarily catch up with tomorrow's changes.
----------
Hanyuan Hall, the place where Zhou Dynasty went to court on weekdays.
A court meeting, to put it more broadly, is a meeting of thousands of officials from various government offices in Beijing. This is a great dynasty, and all officials of the seventh rank and above in the capital must be present.
On a smaller scale, there are hundreds of regular officials who are qualified to blow the wind outside Hanyuan Hall every March, Sixth, and Ninth Day.
Only those with a rank of five or above, except for special groups, are eligible to participate in the regular dynasty. The special groups here mostly refer to professional trolls from the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Although the Chang Dynasty is hard work, not everyone can participate. Ordinary officials who want to brag outside Hanyuan Hall are not qualified.
Today coincides with the court meeting, and Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan, who were busy with government affairs due to handling cases, also attended the court meeting on time.
After all the etiquette was completed, the Hanyuan Hall fell silent with three cleansing whips from Cao Zhengchun, the general manager of the palace.
Emperor Zhou signaled to Cao Zhengchun, "Read it!"
Cao Zhengchun took a memorial, walked a little in front of His Majesty Dan, and read loudly: "Your Majesty approved the memorial of Chen Jiwu, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs: I am not ashamed of my words, and I have no regard for your kindness. My body is eating a plain meal. I owe God's favor above me, and I am ashamed of the common people below. I will be dismissed from my post immediately." , hand it over to the Secretary for discussion."
In an instant, Hanyuan Hall, which was already very quiet, became quiet for another three minutes, and you could hear a pin drop.
The expressions of horror on many people's faces seemed to have solidified. The various forms of living beings cannot be described one by one. Obviously, Emperor Zhou's decision was beyond everyone's expectations!
Chen Jiwu, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was from the fifth rank. Such a small official was actually dismissed by Emperor Zhou personally in the imperial court. The amount of information behind this was too great.
Chen Jiwu was secretly a member of the King of Chu's party. He was in charge of the Water Transport Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs and was in charge of water transport in the Gyeonggi region. He was Liu Jibai's immediate boss.
Emperor Zhou was obviously dissatisfied with him during the water transportation, so he issued an edict to belittle him.
This caused the King of Chu Party and the Xungui Group to kill a general before they even took action, temporarily reducing their arrogance.
After the court discussed the tax and attendance last month, the Chu royal party also calmed down.
"I have this note!"
A muscular man wearing military attaché uniform stood up.
General Zuo Xiaowei and Pengcheng Bo Xiang Ming were the first to stand up as the vanguard of the Xungui Group.
Zuo Xiaowei was one of the Twelve Guards of the Founding of Taizu. After Jinshang ascended the throne, he reorganized the Twelve Guards, dispersed and reorganized the main forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and reorganized them into the Twelve Guards of the Sixth Army. The Twelve Guards were transformed from the original Great Zhou Guards. Zhou Absolutely became the main force and became the auxiliary army of the Sixth Army, and Zuo Xiaowei's designation was also revoked.
Xiang Ming, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, actually has a name for nothing and has no military power at all.
On weekdays, the Honorable Group only serves as a backdrop even when they go to court, with almost no performance. Today's first performance was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Yang Qingyuan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, and Li Xunhuan, the Censor of the Gyeonggi Province, mobilized their troops without permission from the Ministry of War last night and acted wantonly in the divine capital. This is a grave crime!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked. He was deploying troops privately within the divine capital. At the very least, he was dismissed and investigated, but at the most serious level, he was suspected of treason.
"I have not received any application for troop deployment from Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan, nor have I received any approval from the palace or cabinet for troop deployment."
As soon as Xiang Ming finished speaking, Chen Ci, the doctor in the Ministry of War, immediately stepped forward to finish the attack, leaving Yang Qingyuan no room for quibbles.
The high-ranking Emperor Zhou turned his attention to Yang Qingyuan, "Is there anything wrong with Yang Qing!?"
After Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan looked at each other, they naturally came out and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case!"
This sentence once again shocked all the officials in Hanyuan Hall. Yang Qingyuan actually admitted it himself! ! Is this stupid? ! Do you dare to admit such a serious crime as sending troops into the city privately? !
Just when everyone was confused and shocked, Yu Yanyi, Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian Palace and Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up.
"Your Majesty, I know something about this matter."
Yu Yanyi suddenly stood up, catching King Chu and the Xungui Group off guard. They did not expect that Yu Yanyi would intervene in the matter.
Yu Yanyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, behaved himself well in the court, did not get involved in court disputes, and did not form cliques. He was a true loyal minister and a solitary minister, and won the trust of Emperor Zhou.
Such a person would actually stand up at this time, and he seemed to be on Yang Qingyuan's side, which puzzled all the ministers.
"I know about Yang Sicheng and Li Yushi's troop deployment!"
This sentence excused Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan. Yu Yanyi was the Minister of the Ministry of War and a bachelor of Wuying Palace. He was in charge of the world's military affairs. The mobilization of troops and horses was also within his authority. Although the procedure was illegal, it could barely be explained. Pass.
Just when everyone was acquiescing, one person stood up and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty's actions are unreasonable!"
The speaker is Liu Wen, counselor of the General Affairs Department.
The cousin of the King of Chu and the core figure of the King of Chu's party.
After Liu Wen came out of the queue, he continued, "All troop transfers must be applied for by the Ministry of War and approved by the cabinet. Only then can troops be mobilized with the approval document! Although Mr. Yu is the Minister of the Ministry of War, you cannot ignore the national system!"
A gentleman can be deceived, and Liu Wen is accurate. Yu Yanyi will not attack the King of Chu because of personal grudges, so he dares to stand up. I have to admit that Liu Wen is also very accurate in judging people.
In Yu Yanyi's eyes, government affairs are one thing, personal grudges are another. He will not use the power in his hands to take advantage of personal gain.
Liu Wen's political level is indeed high.
"How did Mr. Liu know that I don't have the approval document for troop deployment in my hand!?" Yang Qingyuan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, here is the approval document for troop deployment from the Ministry of War. Your Majesty, please read it!"
Cao Zhengchun walked up to Yang Qingyuan and took the paper. The moment he took it, Cao Zhengchun saw the content on the paper. With Cao Zhengchun's psychological quality, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.
