"Hahaha, Mei Liangliang is really good." At this moment, Zhang Luzi's mood was like a roller coaster. Just now, he was worried about Ding Guogong. Now, Mei Liang's spearhead suddenly turned to his own people. As expected of a fickle scholar, his feelings became So fast.
Beating the dog with the door closed, doing his duty, Zhang Donzi stepped forward, clasped his fists "" Holy Sage, Shi Que, a great official of the Wei Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period, killed his relatives in order to safeguard justice, killed his son, wife, father, uncle, Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms shed tears and beheaded his beloved general Ma Di, "then turned to look at Zhang Songhe and others, Zhang Luzi continued, "Every merit must be rewarded, and every fault must be corrected, so that the true character of Mingjun can be revealed. Although several ministers have exhausted their ammunition and food for the Ming Empire, no, they have exhausted their energy, blood, sweat and so on. It is a light white gelatinous liquid, but the merits and demerits do not offset each other. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Please ask the Holy One to make a decision."
"Damn it, you have a full Zhang family." This is what Zhang Songhe wants to express most at the moment. This is what he just said. He never expected that he would be slapped back so quickly. The slap in the face was so loud.
Li Yutang was also troubled by Mei Liangliang, a white-eyed wolf, and his already embarrassing look was even worse now.
Mei Liangliang can be regarded as an old man in the officialdom. He was a Jinshi in the same period as Lin Shoju, the acting magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture. Moreover, Mei Liangang's ranking is only a little lower than Lin Shoju. But, well, his inflexible character determines that he is not suitable for officialdom. , his fault-finding and nit-picking style offended many officials, many of whom could make him go further. However, Mei Liang was lucky. Although Zhu Xiluo was lazy and slack on state affairs, at least he was stupid. , Do not punish and kill officials easily, otherwise, Mei Liang, a loyal minister who is good at touching the tiger's butt, would have been buried for ten years by his family.
He is determined not to commit corruption and pervert the law. I heard that Yushi Mei is still renting a house, and his elderly wife has to do some handiwork to supplement the family income. Otherwise, three meals a day will be a problem, and her only daughter has already been married. , just like Hai Rui in the previous Ming Dynasty, the mice always left hungry when they went to Mei Liang's house.
Such people are neither greedy nor robbing, and have an extremely rigorous personal style. They go to and from work every day, and there are no entertainment activities, class reunions, or banquets with colleagues. For such people who have nothing else to do but work, there is a novel term "Send". It's very appropriate to give him - a social animal.
Although framing is the specialty of the civil service group, and killing someone is not a matter of words, but for such a person, the civil service group headed by Li Yutang, including Liu Wenzheng, a master of criminal crimes, is helpless.
Ever since he was impeached for the first time, the civil service group has had the idea of sending Mei Liangliang back home. People who are different from them are not worthy and cannot be officials. There is no good atmosphere of warmth, harmony, unity, and unity. Such an environment is not conducive to the development of work and cannot serve the people better. They have developed many plans for this purpose.
Liu Wenzheng once organized a fairy dance, using his beauty to challenge the weakness of men. As a result, his conscience was unmoved, and he did not hesitate to make a fool of himself, saying to the world, "I like men." For such a person who is willing to humiliate himself to prove his innocence, it is a bit difficult to use women to cause trouble.
There was also an official who threw a thousand taels of gold into Yushi Mei's house in the middle of the night as evidence of Yushi Mei's corruption and perversion of the law. Who would have thought that before he took action, Mei Liangliang would enter the palace with a thousand taels of gold, "God." It is auspicious that gold enters the house in the middle of the night. It must be the merit of the Holy One. Thousand taels of gold are sent to me. I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for his kindness."
The wolf was not caught, the child was lost, and the civil service group suffered heavy losses. The tiger was eating the sky and had no way to eat. Since you can't afford to offend, you should stay away. Mei Liangliang is the god of plague who cannot be approached, just like today's bad actors.
Song Qian had never studied Tianlong and had no friendship with Murong Fu, but he still insisted on the idea that a gentleman's revenge is never too late after ten years, and I'm not too late for revenge.
"I am an idle prince with no authority, no desires and no demands. What should you be afraid of? You are so shameless and shameless. You actually want to kill yourself. Hmm, here is your chance." Duke Ding came out and said, "Your Majesty, my old ministers seconded it. Zhuge Liang has said that the palace and the palace are all integrated. It is not appropriate to have the same or different punishments. If there are those who commit crimes and are loyal and good, they should be punished and rewarded by the officials. To show your majesty the principles of fairness and justice; it is not appropriate to be partial and use different methods internally and externally."
"Your Majesty, although several of your lords and kings have made great contributions to the country and the people, everyone is equal under the laws of the Ming Empire. Don't let your status trample on the laws and let the laws of the Ming Empire lose their dignity." Qian Guogong came out.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Song Jiantang, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division who was accustomed to the minority obeying the majority, also stood up even if it was a major matter that was decided by a show of hands.
Everyone was surprised to see Song Jiantang speak. After all, he was too low-key. He would only appear in everyone's sight when he was impeached, and only when he needed to be impeached to gain his reputation, would everyone think of Song Jiantang. After all, he had five cities with troops. The Division has many problems. The fact that soldiers don't wash their faces or brush their teeth is also an excuse. The most important thing is that the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division is easy to bully. A low-key person suddenly becomes so high-profile. Does he want to be famous like us? All the officials were suspicious and guessing.
Zhu Xiluo was quite surprised when the good old man Song Jiantang took the initiative to give advice. The Five Cities Military and Horse Division had a very heavy task, and it was Zhu Xiluo's amulet at critical moments. Moreover, Song Jiantang was considered a person Zhu Xiluo could trust. Therefore, Song Jiantang asked Zhu Xiluo to resign countless times. He didn't agree. Hearing that his old subordinate wanted to speak, Zhu Xiluo was very happy. How could the former groom stand up today.
"Song Aiqing, please tell me if you have anything to say."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After receiving the permission, Song Jiantang took out a thick book from his sleeve without any haste. Turning to a page, he read: "On the third day of March, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division held a training camp outside the city. They cut down three trees for cooking. The censor impeached the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division for destroying public property and fined the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division three thousand taels. , the three trees that were cut down were of high quality, and could be made into bracelets that would carry fragrance for thousands of miles. On the eighth day of May, a group of idle and unemployed vagrants gathered outside the city at a fork in the road to collect tolls. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was ordered to come forward. They went to arrest him, but the gang resisted. The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division accidentally killed one person and injured two others. The censor impeached the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division without trial, and abused lynching in the absence of any witnesses or material evidence. The officers and soldiers of our Five City Military and Horse Division who went out to carry out the arrest mission were severely punished. Each of them received thirty dozen beatings. Three of them were seriously injured and were permanently disabled. Thirty or forty of them were bedridden until they recovered. On June 6, my son Song Li was visiting Songjiang Prefecture. She was young and energetic and had an unpleasant encounter with a scholar in Songjiang Prefecture over the competition for his daughter. The censor impeached her for failing to teach her son well. She was fined three thousand taels of silver and had to copy the Three-Character Sutra a hundred times. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Someone was selling chrysanthemums in front of the gate of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, and the soldiers guarding the gate drove them away. The censor impeached the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division for not respecting traditional festivals, which was a blasphemy to the culture of our Ming Dynasty. He ordered the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to go to the mountains to collect the flowers as a punishment. Chrysanthemums, it is guaranteed that all officials in Beijing will receive more than a hundred chrysanthemums."
"Okay, it turns out that the chrysanthemum was sent by your Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. I thought it was a fellow soldier who used the chrysanthemum to warn myself. The chrysanthemum has many functions, and it has many twists and turns, and the taste is endless." Liu Wenzheng suddenly realized that it turned out that he If you think too much, a chrysanthemum will be a chrysanthemum.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, this is not over yet. Later, the censor impeached the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division for picking chrysanthemums and giving them away for free, which disrupted the market price of chrysanthemums. He ordered the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to compensate the chrysanthemum vendors for their losses. After several punishments, Wu The City Soldiers and Horses Division really couldn't get the money, so I had no choice but to sell the land." When he said this, Song Jiantang choked up in his voice, "The money was also lost, but the censor was not finished yet. The Five City Soldiers and Horses Division Picking chrysanthemums and giving them to officials in Beijing for free is considered bribery and is suspected of unfair treatment of officials and people, and should be punished again."
Well, this is a bit unreasonable. Even Liu Wenzheng, a habitual framer, can't stand it anymore.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Song Jiantang's cry became much louder, "I never thought that this was not over yet. The matter of giving and receiving bribes was about to start, and the impeachment of the censor came again."
"Is it also because of chrysanthemums?" Zhang Luzi asked everyone's suspicions. Of course, the censors who participated in the matter at that time had no doubts.
"Yes, the British officials are so good, it's because of the chrysanthemums," he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "The imperial censors impeached the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for picking chrysanthemums for not excessively, destroying the natural growth cycle of chrysanthemums, resulting in the next year The production of chrysanthemums has decreased, resulting in many people having no chrysanthemum plugs during the Double Ninth Festival. The military departments of the five cities were ordered to purchase chrysanthemum seeds and replant chrysanthemums."
"Hmph, you have to compensate for damage to public property. This is something that all children know. Is it wrong for our censor to impeach your Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?" A censor stood up. This censor should be impeaching the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. Si's strong backbone, square face, broad nose, and missing ears make him a righteous person at first glance. He can't tolerate sand in his eyes, but he should be able to hide pebbles.
"Woo, yes, but why did your censor impeach the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division a few days ago, saying that our Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division wantonly picked chrysanthemum seeds, which led to a reduction in chrysanthemum production in the second year, and the price of chrysanthemums also increased as a result, causing many Poor people can't afford chrysanthemum plugs. It's your job to impeach the censor. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will never complain if they make mistakes and are punished. But there are so many punishments for one thing. Sir, do you know that it's because Due to the Chrysanthemum Incident, in order to maintain normal operations, our Five Cities Military and Horse Division had to go out and engage in side business to subsidize the expenses of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."
"Is it this year?" The Duke of Zhen asked.
"If you return to your country, it will happen this year!"
"The people carrying the bags at the pier are not from your Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division."
"It is exactly what the Duke of Guo said. The officers and soldiers of our Five Cities Military and Horse Division have no other skills except strength. They can only do some physical work of carrying bags and unloading goods." They are all warriors, their education level is limited, and they cannot do the work of writing and writing.
"Haha, you are worthy of being a soldier of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. Not only are they strong, they are also efficient in their work. A few days ago, my shipment of goods arrived at the dock and was unloaded in less than an hour. Moreover, their price is lower than "Market price," who doesn't have a side job? This is the consensus of all officials in the Ming Empire. This is also what Zhu Xiluo acquiesced to, so there is nothing that Zhen Guogong can't say.
"Thank you for the praise, Duke Zhen. Next time you have goods to come to Beijing, just ask your subordinates."
"Your Majesty, the impeachment of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is upheld."
"Uh," looking at the censor who stood up, he wondered if Mei Liangliang was not the only fighter among the censors, but this one too.
Everyone was puzzled, only to hear the censor continue: "Wei Chen impeached the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for selling coolies at low prices and disrupting the labor market."
