Who is Li Yutang? It can be said that Li Yutang is the food and clothing parent of officials all over the world. Although he is not a biological child, he is better than a biological child. From a small rural village to a large official, Li Yutang has the power to appoint and advise. In other words, all people with ideals and pursuits are Li Yutang's service targets. As long as they want to make progress and shed their last drop of blood for the Ming Empire, their future will be in their hands. In the hands of Li Yutang, it can be said that Li Yutang's words can determine whether a person is a hero or a bully, whether he is talented or talentless. Such an important position is naturally what everyone commonly calls the oil and water position, the Dubai of the Ming Empire. Therefore, Li Yutang can be said to be the invisible rich man of the Ming Empire. His annual income will definitely not be lower than the Ming Empire's annual tax revenue or even more. It is only a few hundred thousand taels of fine, although it will make Li Yutang feel distressed for a while. But it will definitely not break the bones. After all, the wealth belonging to the Li family belongs to a long-term unit, and Li Yutang will have gray income almost every day.
Looking back at Zhang Songhe and Liu Wenzheng, because the Ming Empire was setting in the west, there were a lot fewer barbarians coming to pay tribute every year. This had a great impact on Zhang Songhe, the Minister of Rites, as various reception expenses were reduced, and there were fewer tribute items. Naturally, There were fewer links that could be moved up and down. Moreover, with the intrusion of Western progressive ideas, many highly educated scholars had a vague tendency to believe in science and oppose superstition. This also led to a significant decrease in the sacrificial activities organized by the Ming Empire's court. The combination of various factors means that Zhang Songhe's wealth is not at the same level as that of Li Yutang. This is also the main reason why Zhang Songhe boldly asked for a large amount of bribes when he first saw Kameda Shiba Taro. Of course, Zhang Songhe's This behavior is like killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs, and basically none of the foreign envoys who have been blackmailed are willing to come a second time.
Let’s talk about Liu Wenzheng. Although Liu Wenzheng’s position can be regarded as a lucrative yamen, after all, someone reports the case so that Liu Wenzheng can correct the unjust and false cases. Moreover, this is also a mental job. Liu Wenzheng also needs a lot of walnuts to replenish his brain. It is the same as that of Li Fangsheng in the Songjiang Prefecture prison, because the Ministry of Punishment The high cost of prison has led to many criminals to change their ways, so Liu Wenzheng's income has also been affected.
The combined income of the two people is equal to Li Yutang's income in half a year. This is why every time the traitors have a meeting, it is Li Yutang who organizes the dinner.
Li Yutang is willing to exchange money for his fame, and Liu Wenzheng and Zhang Songhe also want to, but compared with paying for money, they would rather not have fame. If someone can afford a enough price, even if they let two second-rank ministers live broadcast, there will be Any second of hesitation is a sign of disrespect for the silver.
Hear Zhu Xiluo's question. The two of them had the same reaction. They hurriedly clasped their fists and confessed, "Old minister, I know that I am guilty. I will start writing a self-examination letter after I get back. Not even a word of 50,000 words will be missing."
Zhu Xiluo shook his head, a little disappointed, "My dear friends, you have thought clearly. If your reputation is ruined, it can no longer be restored."
What is mankind's greatest weapon? It is the determination to fight. Face, can it be used as food? Come on, if you want face, who will be an official?
The two ministers were categorical, "You must stand upright when admonishing, and you must be punished if you make mistakes. The humble minister is willing to sacrifice his reputation to defend the dignity of the laws of the Ming Empire."
The poor are always cautious and generous, while the rich are generous and stingy.
Zhu Xiluo was a little disappointed when he did not get the results he wanted. After all, Zhu Xiluo felt that silver fines were the most effective way to defend the laws of the Ming Empire.
Qian Song was also a little disappointed when he wanted to kill tigers but only managed to kill two dogs.
Let Li Yutang be embarrassed in front of the world, thereby attacking the power of civil servants in the court. This is what Qian Song has been doing. However, facing such a money-grubbing emperor, Qian Song is helpless.
The dreamer can only find his way out under the moonlight, and his first punishment is a starless and moonless night.
As the hero of the impeachment of the three ministers, Mei Liangliang is very satisfied with the result of this handling. After all, impeachment is not the purpose. Let the three ministers carry forward their strengths and correct their shortcomings. This is the purpose. Only when it hurts will they remember it. Mei Liangliang feels that his conscience Your hard work will not be in vain.
Having lost their wealth and eliminated the disaster, the three ministers stood back in the class.
"Your Majesty," an official raised his hand.
The three ministers turned around and saw that it was still the censor. They didn't feel very good. Li Yutang covered his chest, and Zhang Songhe and Liu Wenzheng covered their sleeves.
After all, they are people who stand at the top of the pyramid, and the gods in the sky will show some mercy. It is impossible for all bad luck to fall on them.
Just listen to the censor say, "Your Majesty, the impeachment of a humble minister"!
"Um, ah, who do you want to impeach?" Zhu Xiluo covered his head and wondered what the meeting was for today and what criticism and self-criticism meant.
"There is a sequence of impeachments. The matter of Yushi Mei's impeachment of three ministers is over. Can we deal with the minor ministers?"
Well, this is the censor who just impeached Song Jiantang, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Mei Yushi is extremely prosperous today. He first impeached the Minister of the Ministry of War, followed by three ministers. Four of the six ministers were impeached in the morning, and all four ministers were punished. This further strengthened the impeachment of Mei Yushi. A censor who has no enterprising spirit is not a good censor. A censor who does not impeach hundreds of ministers in a year is not a competent censor. This censor also wants to be selected by the Metropolitan Procuratorate for outstanding censors. won the nomination, so he will not give up this rare opportunity for impeachment.
"Oh, what Ai Qing is talking about is the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division disrupting the labor market."
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what happened,"
Song Jiantang was filled with grievances. Why was he, such a low-key official, always mentioned when he was trying to gain fame and qualifications as an imperial censor? It seems that since the establishment of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, there has never been a positive image in this civil servant's mouth. I chose to stand up this time not to defend the fault of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. I just wanted everyone to be equal before the laws of the Ming Empire. Merits may not be rewarded, but demerits must be punished. I never thought that I would step on a thunder again and be caught by them again.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty of this." These censors only rely on their words to make a living. They are no match at all. Why bother to defend themselves and ask for trouble? It is better to admit their mistakes obediently.
The soldiers of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division went to carry bags to support themselves. Zhu Xiluo, who has always been as shameless as the city wall, also blushed a little: "Ahem, dear, there is no need to blame yourself. Zhuge Liang slaps Huang Gai, one is willing to hit, and the other is willing to suffer. It’s all something everyone wants to do,”
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach you, Your Majesty." Mei Yushi is an invincible Xiaoqiang. The more he fights, the braver he becomes.
"Fuck," everyone looked at Mei Yushi with surprised eyes. This kid is so brave. The little Shangshu Guogong family no longer takes it seriously.
Zhu Xiluo was in a terrible mood. Although he wanted to have a super friendly relationship with the Mei family women at this time, in order to maintain his image as a wise king, Zhu Xiluo still had to ask, "Why is Mei Aiqing impeaching me?"
"ignorant and ignorant"
Such a heroic act was admired by all officials. There were many censors who impeached the emperor for his indulgence in pleasure and slackness in government affairs, but the censor Mei who was ignorant and unskilled in impeachment was definitely the only one to impeach the emperor. Even the censor who wanted to compete with Mei Liangliang, who was the first official of the Ming Empire, stopped.
The joy of having just earned a million dollars also disappeared without a trace. Zhu Xiluo began to hypnotize himself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Mingjun has great courage. It doesn't matter if you curse a few times."
Trying to force out a smile, "My dear, there is evidence to accuse me of being ignorant and incompetent."
Mei Liang was not afraid of Long Yan at all, "The Holy One just said that Zhuge Liang beat Huang Gai, and one of them was willing to hit and the other was willing to suffer. Please tell me, Your Majesty, Huang Gai was beaten by Zhuge Liang, what did you ask Zhou Yu to do?" 》
"How do I know what happened thousands of years ago? Yushi Mei is a little bit too hard." Zhu Xiluo was a little angry. The person named Zhou was not his ancestor, so why should he care about a pretty boy? Mei Liangliang was a little unreasonable.
One-third of the ministers present were holding back their laughter. Of course, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was not a required reading for scholars in the Ming Empire. There were people who didn't know that this proverb was especially popular, including the British Duke Zhang Donkey, a senior illiterate. .
"Mr. Mei, your impeachment is a little strange. I ask you, Xiao Qiao looks like a flower. What do you think Zhou Yu is doing?"
Well, Zhang Luzi is driving. Fortunately, the speed is not very fast.
"Puch!" Many adults laughed out loud.
In order to prevent the British public from speeding and harming others and himself, Qian Song hurriedly explained in a low voice. After listening to the British public, the unconvinced expression appeared on his face again, "Why should Zhou Yu, a pretty boy, be slapped with a yellow cover?" Zhuge Liang is extraordinary in terms of his strength. I heard that Brother Liang can go to heaven and earth, tear apart Cao Cao's army with his hands, and sneak into Cao Cao's tent in the middle of the night. In the morning, Cao Mengde covered his buttocks and did not dare to sit for a long time."
"Your Majesty, the humble minister impeached the British prince for being ignorant, insulting the sages, making up nonsense, and tearing Cao's army to pieces with his own hands,,,"
"I told you to impeach me, I asked you to impeach me. I work honestly and behave as a human being. I only know how to talk. Why do you impeach me?" Zhang Luzi insists that those who can do things will never make noises. I have long been unhappy with the boy. He looks worse than me. Why is he the brightest boy today?
Of course, although Zhang Luzi is reckless, he is not stupid. Although Zhang Luzi had the idea of giving Mei Liangliang some shoes when he was impeached for the first time, he did not have the chance. Today, the opportunity is rare. Mei Liangliang has offended everyone here today. All the officials in the government would not have any regrets even if they beat Mei Liangliang. No, even if they beat someone, there would be no one who would break up a fight, including those civil servants who like to flaunt themselves with articles about propriety, justice, integrity, and morality, and Mei Liangliang also Zhu Xiluo was impeached without hesitation, and Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai. There are not a few people who are willing to beat others and suffer. With you showing off here, you can also please the emperor by beating Mei Liangliang yourself, and so can the five big and three rough people. With a delicate heart.
Pay attention to the faces of the officials here. How many of them are gloating about their misfortune and clenching their hands into fists, secretly exerting force. Well done to the British public.
"Your Majesty, this old minister has been discourteous. Please punish me, Your Majesty." After finishing the work, seeing Mei Liang's injury, Zhang Luzi could guarantee that Mei Yushi would not be able to get out of bed for three months.
