"Liu Guangshi has served in the Xiaowei camp for many years. Not only did he embezzle military pay, but the entire Xiaowei camp was used by others to feed dead soldiers. It is really a heinous crime. No one has noticed it in all these years and impeached him for this matter. I am worried about this. I'm afraid there are still some of his followers in the court."
Xiao Yi looked at Li Linfu and said meaningfully: "Several positions in the Ministry of War also need to be adjusted."
Li Linfu said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, I am worried that doing this will cause panic among the ministers."
Xiao Yi chuckled and said calmly: "If you are upright, you are not afraid of a distorted shadow. If you are flustered because of this incident, it means... he may have done something wrong. What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Li Linfu's eyes turned cold.
He really couldn't figure it out. How could the prince be an older fox than himself at such a young age?
Who on earth taught His Highness the Crown Prince to be so resourceful and resourceful? Was it Zhang Jiuling?
Resisting the urge to spit out a mouthful of blood, Li Linfu gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Zhao, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, was demoted and punished by His Highness for making mistakes. Later, the post of Minister of the Ministry of War has been vacant. At that time, someone also recommended talents, but Your Highness did not agree. Now if When adjusting the official positions of the Ministry of War, the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War should be determined first, and then other officials should be adjusted."
"Weichen suggested that Han Shizhong should be appointed Minister of War, while Sima Yi should be the left minister of the Ministry of War, and Yu Shiji should be the right minister of the Ministry of War."
"The former left minister of the Ministry of War and the right minister of the Ministry of War failed to notice the incident at Zuo Xiaowei's camp and did not conduct a thorough inspection of military pay, which led to the occurrence of empty pay. They are guilty of negligence and should be dismissed from office and held accountable to serve as a warning to others."
This old dog really has broken teeth and wants to tear off a piece of flesh.
Xiao Yi snorted coldly in his heart, but did not persist on his face and said lightly: "That's very good."
He wants to get involved in the power of the Ministry of War, and Li Linfu must be unwilling to do so.
It seems that Han Shizhong, who was born in the Dragon Guard Army, was recommended as the Minister of the Ministry of War during the Zhenyuan period.
It was like directly promoting the prince's people to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.
However, it is also very common for the deputy position to be sidelined because of insufficient means in the main job.
Sima Yi and Yu Shiji were both from Li Linfu. When Xiao Yi heard their names, he immediately thought of these two people in history.
Um.
None of them are good people.
An eagle-eyed wolf cares about the prime minister, and an official sells himself to prison and bribes the public.
I don't know how Li Linfu managed to snare these people. It feels like a nest of snakes and rats, where birds of a feather flock together and people fall into groups.
Xiao Yi believed in Han Shizhong's ability. He had seen information about this man. His name was similar to that of a famous general. However, Han Shizhong was the top performer in the martial arts examination during the Zhenyuan period. Later, he became a disciple of Yue Shan and learned the art of war and tactics. He was brave and capable. Planning, calm temperament, and assessing the situation.
He and Xiao Zheng were both disciples of Yue Shan. Although they were brothers, they had never had much interaction.
After all, the situation is unclear and anything is possible.
Taking sides too early will only ruin your own future.
Now.
Yue Hongling is going to become the crown prince's concubine, so people from Yue Shan will naturally want to help his only daughter, right?
Even if he didn't want to side with the East Palace, he still had to help Yue Hongling stabilize his position in the court.
After the candidate for the Minister of War has been determined, the transfer of the Ministry of War will also begin.
At the same time, the mess left by Yang Zhao must be dealt with immediately, otherwise the military pay will not be paid out.
If military pay cannot be paid, more soldiers will mutiny.
At this time, Di Yan stood up and bowed: "Your Highness, I have something to report!"
Xiao Yi said: "It's accurate."
Di Yan directly took out the thick document, held it up with both hands, bowed his head and said: "I impeach the Censor Zhongcheng Zhu Mian. As the Censor Zhongcheng manages the Censorship Station, I see corrupt officials in the government and the public running rampant and domineering without supervision, so that the Censor Shitai Supervision has failed in its duties and is in name only.”
"This is the first-class crime, a crime of negligence and dereliction of duty, and the law of Daqian is regarded as nothing!"
"This thief has the second most serious crime. In the spring of the 20th year of Zhenyuan, Zhu Mian was incompetent as an official. He didn't know people well. He had great ambitions but few talents. He was dictatorial and self-indulgent... There were greedy, cruel and cruel people among his subordinates. Bullying the subordinates has resulted in lax supervision by the local inspectors and censors, and the city has become even more rampant, with even a thousand dead men appearing on Suzaku Street."
"The rebellious army is running wild, and the people of the capital are in panic. They are looking sideways in the ban. If it were not for His Majesty's grace and protection, people would be looking back. Li Gongxiang strategized and went into danger. General An Zijun mobilized his troops to save the crisis. , otherwise, such incompetent people will almost cause a disaster!"
"The second most serious crime of a hedgehog is to govern his subordinates laxly, flatter his superiors and bully his subordinates, act arrogantly as a royal censor, and fail to live up to the expectations of his majesty, his highness, the minister, and other monarchs and ministers."
"My lord, please severely punish Zhu Mian for his crime of harming the country!"
However, before Zhu Mian could say anything more, the supervisory censor Fangxuan followed closely behind him. He came out of the class with a wat board and said: "My lord, the supervisory censor Fangxuan impeached the censor Zhongcheng Zhu Mian. His corpse is a plain meal, mediocre... .”
When Zhu Mian heard this, his inner lake, which he thought was a stagnant lake, immediately stirred up a storm. He looked back at the supervisory censor Fang Xuan, and a surge of anger surged up, and he couldn't hear clearly the words of impeachment that followed.
On weekdays, he tried his best to win over this person. Because he was calm and steady, he kept using him in important positions. He never thought that today he would turn around and impeach him. It was really shameless!
Seeing Zhu Mian looking at him with hatred, the imperial censor in the palace looked stern and said, "Zhu Mian has violated the rules in front of the palace!"
Good guy.
This is a wall that everyone pushes against.
Zhu Mian had been in the position of Yushi Zhongcheng for more than a year, which had already aroused dissatisfaction among many people.
Now that Di Yan is directly impeaching this official, it means that His Highness the Crown Prince is going to take action against him.
This situation is not as simple as missing one censor Zhongcheng. There will definitely be other censors who will be implicated. Some people want to protect themselves, but more people are interested in the position of censor.
You don't make progress.
I still want to make progress!
Dai Guang also walked out, held the wat to impeach, and said: "I impeached Zhu Mian for appointing Xiaoxiao, which caused the corrupt officials in Longyou Road to cause chaos. As a result, disasters in Longyou Road continued year after year, the people were miserable, and the imperial court was also dragged down. , the national treasury was empty due to disaster relief, but all the money fell into the hands of those corrupt officials, who are really thieves who have brought disaster to the country and the people!"
Dai Guang is now the Minister of Hubu, and Di Yan is the Minister of Officials. The two ministers stepped forward and finally kicked off the impeachment. Some censors from the Yushitai came forward one after another. Bullets were flying in the Shizhengshi Hall, and Zhu Mian was scolded in various ways.
Xiao Yi saw this scene with an expressionless face.
It was not until the impeachment of Zhu Mian by the ministers came to an end that an indifferent look looked at him and asked: "Qing Zhu, do you have any comments on the impeachment of the ministers?"
Facing the gazes one after another, Zhu Mian left his job, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said in a mournful voice: "Reporting to Your Highness, I am so impatient that I have made some omissions, and corrupt officials have appeared in Longyou Road. I have truly lived up to the emperor's great kindness, and now I have been impeached by my colleagues. I know that my crime is unforgivable. This is really my fault. I have wronged others and wronged myself... I ask your highness to strictly deal with my crime."
Xiao Yi looked at Zhu Mian a little surprised. How could he be a simple flatterer if he could climb to his position?
A good one is to retreat in order to advance.
Apologize directly and have a very good attitude.
If he were to be severely punished for his crime, the court would be too harsh... it would be detrimental to his holiness.
People can not escape from doing wrong?
Zhu Mian did not have a big birthday plan, but he was flattering and bullying, and he was lax in governing. He also had some corrupt behavior, and he also helped his own family. One man became a chicken and a dog and ascended to heaven. However, he did not occupy fertile land, oppress the people, or kill innocent people in vain. Waiting for great sin.
Just for the above-mentioned impeachment offense, his head would be chopped off and his home would be ransacked.
I'm afraid it will only chill the hearts of the officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang also ended up in a debate about adversity and wealth.
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said: "Zhu Qing is ultimately responsible for negligence and lax governance. However, if you can take the initiative to admit your guilt and have a good attitude, I will spare your life."
"He was relieved of his duties as censor Zhongcheng and Youjianyi Dafu, was fined three million yuan, and was exiled to Jisiju Prefecture."
Zhu Mian's face was shaken, his voice was even louder, and he kowtowed: "I thank Your Highness for sparing my life!"
After the ministers heard this, they said nothing else.
Everyone is tacitly aware of this.
If an official was impeached normally, he would definitely not be convicted so quickly.
First of all, this matter should have been facilitated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was sitting at the top of the list. Now everyone knows that Di Yan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is a member of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Secondly, Zhu Mian himself took the initiative to plead guilty.
If he doesn't plead guilty.
If Mr. Li stands up to protect him again, this matter will not be that simple.
However, Zhu Mian is also a smart man. He knows that he is caught in the middle of this matter.
A little carelessness can lead to disaster.
It is better to plead guilty proactively.
Anyway, the guilt is not very big, it is as big as that of Wang Hao, the former Minister of Household Affairs.
He was immediately beheaded by His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace, and then his crimes were carefully investigated and finally reported to the world.
This is equivalent to losing your reputation.
Zhu Mian took the initiative to plead guilty.
His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't hold on to his decision. He was dismissed from office, fined, and exiled again. This was considered a real mercy.
Zhu Mian was taken down by the guards in front of the palace.
There is no need for further interrogation, this matter is settled.
Take off your official robe and hat.
The Jin Yiwei led the people to Zhu Mian's house to collect the fine, and then the Yamen escorted him to Juzhou, Jisi (Guizhou).
The political hall became quiet for a while.
No one has reacted yet.
They felt that the atmosphere in the political hall today was quite strange, and the development of things also opened their eyes.
A censor Zhongcheng was impeached and dismissed from office.
The fire burned too fast.
Xiao Yi continued: "Now the Jin Yiwei is established alone to monitor the world, but at the same time, it cannot cause the Yushitai to be abandoned. The Jinyiwei monitors the world, and the Yushitai also monitors the world, and the two supervise each other, so that there will be no It’s a matter of shielding, officials protecting each other, or a family becoming dominant.”
"Zhu Mian is not strict in his rule and is used to flattering his superiors and bullying his subordinates. Such a person is not suitable for Yushitai."
"Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Di Yan was the first to stand up and bowed and said: "I recommend you to supervise the Censor Fangxuan. This man is calm, virtuous, upright and honest, and does not care about fame and fortune. He can be the Censor Zhongcheng and thoroughly investigate the entire Censor Station. Purge the Yushitai of Daqian, give an explanation to all the officials, and give an explanation to the 10,000 people of Daqian!"
Xiao Yi looked at Li Linfu and planned to give him a chance.
However, Li Linfu said nothing and kept standing there, as if he was a wax figure.
Even if Di Yan and others impeached Zhu Mian, he was not moved at all.
Xiao Yi didn't know what Li Linfu was planning, but the water came and the earth covered it, and whether he won or lost depends on his own ability.
"That's right!"
