The commander-in-chief of Qianqiying was originally in the palace, and the emperor's closest attendant was the Grand Duke Gongsun An, the internal affairs supervisor.
However, this old eunuch was only in name. Every one of the detectives from Qianqi Camp counted him, and no one cared about him at all.
In fact, it's just a matter of procedure. With Sun An's name, Qianqiying is the emperor's personal army.
At the beginning of the Chang Dynasty, there were three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, and at most eighteen government offices in the center. It was just a little less, not more. Just like today, the three provinces only have one Shangshu Province, and no dynasty has had more than one government office. Sign precedent.
In order to stabilize the imperial power, Huang Laosi set up a Thousand Cavalry Battalion. By the time the ministers reacted, it was already too late.
Qianqiying is also the only government office that directly obeys the emperor's orders. Everyone is like this. It has nothing to do with courtiers, aristocratic families, civil servants, and military generals.
And just this morning, the nominal commander-in-chief Sun An "retired", and the first heir Chu Qing became the leader of Qianqi Camp.
When he received the imperial edict, a figure whose face he had never seen clearly appeared in Chu Qing's mind, sitting on a dragon chair and above the clouds.
Chu Qing always had the illusion that he was very familiar with the emperor.
How could there be such a tacit understanding if they were not familiar with each other.
This imperial decree came sooner or later, but it happened after the auction was over, it happened after he proposed to open a poor school, and it happened when he was going to be the target of public criticism.
The imperial edict didn't say any other nonsense, it was just promotion, that's all.
But Chu Qing knew that this promotion represented the emperor's extremely firm attitude.
The emperor's attitude and support were Chu Qing's confidence.
This kind of confidence has made him disdain to use the previous methods to do things.
He wants to do things openly and openly, with the emperor's acquiescence and support, and he must do things openly and openly, so he must also have an open and honest confrontation!
When turbidity becomes the norm, innocence becomes a sin.
Chu Qing believed that he was innocent. Since he was innocent, then turbidity was the crime. Since turbidity was guilty, then he, the commander of Qianqi Camp, would naturally punish the guilty.
"Nine out of ten courtiers come from aristocratic families. Mr. Cao is in the court, talking about etiquette, talking about the people's hearts, talking about the laws of prosperity, talking about peace of the people, talking about the world. You say it's difficult, it's difficult everywhere, it's difficult for the courtiers, it's difficult for the court, you It is difficult for the Ministry of Rites, it is difficult for the people to be safe, it is difficult to encourage learning, it is difficult every day, and it is difficult every year.”
"It's difficult, haha, but I don't think it's difficult, I just think it's ridiculous." Chu Qing stared at Cao Wu, the Minister of Rites, with a sarcastic look on his face: "Those who have failed themselves are those who can't straighten others."
"Bold!" Cao Wu looked angry and trembled with anger.
There is no one who can straighten others if he is in vain.
You have never walked on the right path, how can you make others upright?
The Ministry of Rites is not upright. The Minister of Rites comes from a noble family. How can he calm the people, teach them, encourage learning, and talk about benevolence, righteousness, morality, ancestral etiquette, and laws to the people of the world?
"Are you bold? I think the bold one should be Mr. Cao."
Chu Qing snorted coldly: "You, Zhou Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, took refuge in Li Wenli, the Li family, and the King of Wu, Chang Chengke, who has evil intentions. I want to ask you, Zhou Youwei, who recommended him to be an official!"
"you…"
"Zhang Songling, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, is extravagant and considerate of human life. He even unites with merchants in the capital to oppress the people. Who is this Zhang Songling's official?"
Chu Qing pressed forward step by step, his voice getting louder and louder: "Officials in other government offices made mistakes, and your Rites Department shouted to beat and kill them, to hold the chief officials responsible for their responsibilities, but when it came to your Rites Department, you pretended to be deaf and dumb!"
"Zhang Songling has monopolized the stone industry and amassed money without restraint. You, Cao Wu, turned a blind eye. When you came to Chu Qing, you came to ask for money. Cao Wu, I ask you, where did your old face grow? "
"The people are safe every year, every day, and the people are displaced. You, the Ministry of Rites, open your mouth to ask for money, keep your mouth shut to ask for money, open your mouth to shirk responsibility, and keep your mouth shut to shirk blame, and ask for money. You are always the first. If you shirk responsibility, you are still the first! "
"Every year in the imperial examination, the sons of aristocratic families are at the top. You know better than anyone else which government office leaked the test questions!"
Pushing Cao Wu away who was ashamed and angry, Chu Qing shouted towards the door: "Bring me the imperial edict!"
Fu San ran away, but Cao Wu's expression changed slightly: "What kind of imperial edict is it?!"
Chu Qing sneered and said nothing until Fu San sent the imperial edict in, and then said: "Give it to him, let him open his dog eyes and see clearly what is written on it."
Cao Wu couldn't wait to open the imperial edict and read ten lines at a glance. His pupils suddenly shrank like needlepoints.
"Last night, you and the minister of Honglu Temple wanted to kill me, but early this morning, the palace sent the imperial edict to the government office."
Chu Qing sat down, picked up the tea cup, and spit out one name after another.
"Prince's Young Master Tao Yu, Dali Temple's Young Minister Tao Shaozhang, General Yunhui of the Ministry of War Tan Zhongping, Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry Chu Wensheng, Wei Changfeng, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Qiu Wanshan, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lord Zhong Yuzhong, Lord Gongsun of Gongsun Hall , Ma Rui, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, and Changxian, the king of Langya!"
Chu Qing slammed the tea cup at Cao Wu's feet, stood up and grabbed the imperial edict: "And Chu Qing, the commander of Qianqi Camp, I will impeach you, Cao Wu, the Minister of Rites, in court tomorrow. You are ignorant of people, so I will impeach you for being a vegetarian, for collaborating with people like Zhou Youwei and Li Wenli, for being in a high position and doing nothing."
"you dare!"
Chu Qing smiled slightly and pointed at the door: "Go away."
"You...you are so brave!"
Chu Qing rolled up the imperial edict, and the sarcasm on his face became more and more intense: "Your Ministry of Rites has lost troops and generals, and made mistakes one after another. The emperor has made me the commander-in-chief again. Cao Wu, do you really think... I will impeach you, and the emperor will still Will they protect you, or will the courtiers help you?"
"I am the Minister of Rites, a minister of Conglong, the Son of Heaven..."
"No, it won't be, because your Ministry of Rites is indeed making constant mistakes. The courtiers may help you excuse it, but I, we, will mention Zhou Youwei, Zhang Songling, and these two people who defected to the King of Wu. The rebellious ministers and traitors, and your left and right ministers have all taken refuge with the King of Wu, then you, the Minister of Rites, have also secretly taken refuge with the King of Wu."
Cao Wu looked horrified: "How dare you spit on others?"
"Don't I dare? Of course I dare. At that time, whoever helps you to exonerate will be suspected of defecting to the King of Wu. Cao Wu, don't you understand? In front of this commander, you are just a person in the tomb. You're just a withered bone, but you still want to ask for money and embarrass me, are you worthy?"
Cao Wuru was struck by lightning. He looked at Chu Qing with a joking look on his face and couldn't refute a single word.
He never thought that Chu Qing could be so cruel!
Once the people he said impeached him, saying that he was a troublemaker, saying that he didn't know people well, and even making bloody accusations that he was suspected of defecting to the King of Wu, would the courtiers and the aristocratic family still help him to exonerate him?
Do you know how heavy the snow is?
