"His Majesty--"
All the ministers were frightened to death and knelt tightly on the ground.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan waved his hand: "I am responsible for not eliminating corrupt officials, but do you have the responsibility? Especially the Supervisory Yuan!"
"See for yourself!"
With that said, he hit Dou Jianzhang in the front row with a memorial.
The latter didn't dare to dodge, and his body tightened even more. He picked it up tremblingly and read it carefully.
This memorial was also written by Zhang Jingrui. The content is simple and clear. I read a copy of Dou Jianzhang on the spot, and the words are not obscured. There is even this sentence in it:
It is said that Dou Jianzhang has no Jianming and steals a vegetarian meal. This means that he is dawdling in his position and has made no achievements, so that the local supervision agency is ineffective.
This is very sharp.
Zhang Jingrui is not as strong-willed as Liu Changqing, but he never dodges when encountering problems. Of course, there is a reason why he got involved.
It doesn't matter if you are a minister of the court, you should be consulted. Lao Zhang has his own set of principles for doing things.
Dou Jianzhang's Supervision Order is different from that of the Yushi Doctor. The two departments are a bit like the difference between the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Of course Lu'an County has county-level supervision, but so many leading officials in one county have been dismissed, and the supervision agency didn't know about it before. Isn't it possible that the corpses were left alone? This was also Zhang Jingrui’s strong dissatisfaction with the Lu’an Supervisory Committee’s ignorance of all the questions asked when he was investigating the corruption case.
After reading the memorial, cold sweat broke out on Dou Jianzhang's forehead, and his forehead touched the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am guilty. After I return, I will definitely conduct self-examination."
This is the participation of the Minister of Industry and the Imperial Envoy, and his words are sharp. How can it not be serious!
And apparently this impeachment has been successful.
Seeing Dou Jianzhang's sudden panic, the ministers kneeling below couldn't help but have their thoughts changed. Jiang Yi even rolled her eyes. This was the perfect opportunity to attack the propaganda.
But the emperor was obviously furious, and at this critical moment, he did not dare to speak easily.
Xiao Yuan said: "Go back and suspend your duties to reflect. The Supervisory Yuan will be temporarily managed by Yao Tingyu."
ah? Dou Jianzhang's head buzzed and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, my lord. My lord."
He was so frightened that he didn't say a word for a long time.
Many other ministers secretly swallowed their saliva and knelt there secretly looking at each other. Perhaps they did not expect that the matter would develop so seriously.
Yao Tingyu bravely said: "Your Majesty, Dou Jianzhang may have neglected his duty."
This was obviously a request for mercy, but Xiao Yuan interrupted him directly: "Am I too kind to you officials, okay!?"
"As a result, corrupt officials are rampant, they are extravagant at the top and greedy at the bottom, poisoning the people and mistreating the people!"
Under the tremor, the twelve strings of jade beads on his forehead trembled slightly, indicating the majesty of the founding emperor.
At this moment, who dared to say another word of pleading? The bodies of the ministers kneeling below almost sank down at the same time.
"Send an order to Zhang Jingrui!"
"In the Lu'an Dam case, all the principal culprits will kill the three tribes!"
Naturally, no one would speak for such a huge evil that caused the death of countless people due to corruption, but Wang Zhidong had the courage to say: "Your Majesty, the three criminals who committed this case deserved their punishment, but I think it is best It’s better to execute it internally to avoid the impact being too bad.”
"My lord, I second my opinion. If the affairs of the Lu'an County Magistrate and County Magistrate are made public, it may damage the prestige of the country's government." Another minister said.
"That's nonsense!" Liu Changqing refuted directly before anyone else could say anything: "Such corrupt officials should be publicly executed if they cause harm to one party! The people are outraged! What you just said that undermines the prestige of the government is even more ridiculous. To the extreme! Execution of corrupt officials is to uphold justice and clarify the law of the country! How can it be said to be harmful? The people will also nod and celebrate, knowing that the country hates corrupt officials and will resolutely crack down on corrupt officials!"
"If, as you say, you have to worry about the consequences of executing a corrupt official, isn't it ridiculous?"
He was also kneeling down, and his words were extremely upright.
In this court meeting, no one dared to stand since Xiao Yuan said that he was responsible.
"What Liu Qing said is absolutely true!" Xiao Yuan stood up and said seriously: "In the Liu'an case, not only must the execution be public, but the crime must also be publicized!"
"After the main criminal annihilated the three tribes, he hung Guo Baode and several other culprits at the gate of Lu'an City! They were whipped until they died!"
"Let all the people passing by take a look! Let the whole world see the fate of corrupt officials!"
This is the worm of the country. He has killed so many innocent people due to greed. It is not an exaggeration to execute him with Lingchi.
After this order was issued, Xiao Yuan added: "In addition, the Ministry of Industry has sent many officials to check official issues and at the same time inspect local water conservancy projects, especially areas with flood control dams. The Lu'an matter will never be allowed to happen again. It happened!"
Then he looked at Han Ju, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and said, "Zhang Jingrui is inspecting the place and can't move away. Han Qing, you have to shoulder this burden."
"Yes, Wei Chen accepts the order." Han Ju responded quickly.
Xiao Yuan looked at Yao Tingyu again: "It's time for the Supervisory Yuan to rectify its internal affairs."
"Yes." Yao Tingyu accepted the order.
The emperor did not look at his supervision order, and Dou Jianzhang suddenly felt like he had fallen out of favor, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt.
Zhang Jingrui's participation is too powerful.
"Why are you still kneeling there? Get up!" Xiao Yuan scolded him angrily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty -" All the trembling ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This statement showed that the emperor had gone too far, and the matter was not that serious.
Of course, a country cannot only have this incident reported by Zhang Jingrui. Next, Xiao Yuan adjusted his mentality, dealt with other government affairs with the ministers, and finally dismissed the court with a wave of his hand.
As usual, the ministers walked together in twos and threes. In the magnificent Qin Palace, there were people in official uniforms walking and chatting on the hundreds of steps.
Censor Zhongcheng Yu Hong and Jiang Yi walked together and said: "Your Majesty is very angry today. Dou Jianzhang has been suspended from office. It seems that Zhang Shangshu's memorial must contain impeachment content. It is extraordinary."
"Zhang Jingrui is very clever when he takes action. He must hit the key point, otherwise, how could His Majesty throw the memorial at him." Jiang Yi agreed: "I was in court just now, and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to say something, but Later, when I thought about it, Long Yan was furious and couldn't touch him again."
Yu Hongdao: "Mr. Jiang's words are reasonable, but now is a good time to crack down on the propaganda. Why don't we write a report together in two days, and then find Dou Jianzhang's faults, and take the opportunity to completely pull him down? Otherwise, he will I’m afraid the temporary suspension will be reinstated.”
They are all elders of Qinzhou. Jiang Yi nodded slowly: "It's best to ask Prime Minister Liu about this matter."
Although Liu Yuzhi and Yao Tingyu have never fought against each other, there is no doubt that officials on both sides will naturally
