Lin Jue not only had no interest in Chu Qing, but also lacked the courage.
Live well, why bother with this guy? Isn't this just a mental illness?
But in the Ministry of War, the most important thing is face. Today, Tan Zhongping has ruined his face, how can he not hold grudges.
And Chu Qing has a very good relationship with Tan Zhongping. If Chu Qing falls, Tan Zhongping has nothing to fear!
Liu Shang stared at Lin Jue and began to analyze the situation.
"Let's talk about Qiu Wanshan first. Regarding the recruitment of troops for the border army, the Ministry of Revenue allocated money and food. The person who handled this matter was Qiu Wanshan. This person has selfish motives."
"Everyone knows that if Chu Qing wants to recruit troops, Qiu Wanshan will naturally help him, but if he doesn't want to enrich himself, how can he be used as a handle?"
"Recruiting troops should be done at the border gates, but Qiu Wanshan informed the newly appointed Xiao County government and found some young men in Xiao County and sent them to the border gates, which is against the law."
Lin Jue nodded slightly: "It's not compatible, but it's not a big mistake."
"Yes, it's not a big mistake, but it's just to excuse Qiu Wanshan from leaving work. He needs to prove his innocence before he leaves work. And when he proves his innocence, I and others will take action to make Qiu Wanshan fall into a place of eternal destruction. .”
"what for?"
Liu Shang showed a sinister smile: "We have been plotting secretly for a long time. General Lin didn't know something. That Qiu Wanshan looked sanctimonious, but in fact he was extremely unworthy. Seven years ago, he went to Qiucheng to collect taxes and colluded with the governor of Qiucheng. He embezzled 40,000 yuan of tax money. Chen Xiaokang, the head of the household department who was traveling with him, wanted to expose this person, but Qiu Wanshan found someone to kill him. His body was thrown into the wilderness and became an unsolved case. More than a month ago, I The order person found Chen Xiaokang's family members, who had already entered Beijing, and could be witnesses. They witnessed Qiu Wanshan taking people to the inn to arrest Chen Xiaokang. His whereabouts have been unknown since then. The family members inquired for a long time, and learned from a hunter in the mountains that, I saw a corpse in the forest, wearing the same clothes as Chen Xiaokang was wearing before his death."
"It's actually involved in a murder case!" Lin Jue took a breath: "Is it a colleague from the Imperial Household Department who ordered Qiu Wanshan to be so vicious?"
Lin Jue was really shocked. He didn't expect that the minister of the household department would kill his colleagues just to get tens of thousands of dollars.
"At that time, General Lin was still in the Fuzhou camp and had never heard of this matter. After so many years, no one except the household department would remember Chen Xiaokang. Qiu Wanshan would certainly not have thought that Chen Xiaokang's relatives had secretly Bringing them into the capital, thousands of cavalry battalions are all over the city. They dare not make it public. If this matter is mentioned tomorrow, the emperor will have the Ministry of Punishment to investigate thoroughly. At that time, I will order people to send Chen Xiaokang's relatives to the palace. Outside, I beg the emperor to bring Chen Xiaokang’s relatives into the palace for a confrontation. By that time, Qiu Wanshan’s tricks will be of no use and he will definitely die.”
Lin Jue's breathing gradually became heavier.
Although he never wanted to offend Chu Qing, even if he was a military general, he knew that if he wanted to defeat Chu Qing, he had to cross a big mountain, Qiu Wanshan!
As long as Qiu Wanshan falls, Chu Qing will lose an arm, no, both arms.
Even if the emperor favors Chu Qing again, Qiu Wanshan committed a murder and killed a colleague from the Ministry of Revenue, so his imprisonment is a certainty.
"Why not delay it for a few days? How about we wait a few more days and I will conduct a private investigation and add more evidence of the crimes of Chu and Qiu."
Lin Jue was not an idiot. After all, his family and life were involved. He would definitely inquire privately about how many people Liu Shang had contacted, including the old case of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was always afraid that Liu Shang would miss something. Another one would be right. Liu Shang, who had just met Liu Shang, was not too relieved.
But to say that there are doubts is not the case.
After all, Liu Shang had been looking for him for a long time, asking about border affairs, and he was also close to many civil servants and scholars in the court and scholars. Basically, he almost shouted that he was going to kill Chu Qing.
"No." Liu Shang shook his head and said, "That's why I'm looking for General Lin tonight. The Qianqi camp is pervasive and if there is news, Chu Qing's party members will definitely deal with it. Tomorrow, we will have to fight with the Chu thieves and party members. See the difference between life and death!"
Lin Jue remained silent, quickly analyzing the situation in her mind.
There was already an undercurrent surging in the capital. The aristocratic families, civil servants, and famous Confucian scholars had met secretly many times, and they were all studying how to bring down Chu Qing. It was almost impossible before, but now that Xu Shiqing has entered the capital, as long as he recruits troops as an excuse, Therefore, there is indeed a high possibility of success.
Heaven and man were fighting for a long time, and Lin Jue asked: "Tomorrow, as the right minister of the Ministry of War, I will impeach Chu Qing and impeach Chu Qing about border military affairs?"
"yes."
"Master Liu will impeach Qiu Wanshan again and punish him?"
"yes."
"After that, many court officials listed Chu Qing's crimes?"
"yes."
"Regardless of success or failure, I will...are you planning to make me the Minister of War?"
"yes."
Lin Jue was still a little unsure, and Liu Shang had a complex look on his face: "General Lin, although you and I have known each other for a short time, we have been close friends for a long time. How about this? Don't go all out tomorrow. In the court, we will mention Chen to Qiu Wanshan first. Xiaokang's name, let's see how that Qiu thief reacts. If he is arrogant, he will probably have already destroyed the evidence or has an excuse. Even if Chen Xiaokang's relatives come to Beijing, he will make excuses in every possible way. Then don't bother General Lin. Get away and watch me and many friends and civil servants deal with him, but if he is frightened and uneasy, then he must have a guilty conscience, and we can attack with all our strength to eliminate the thieves for the country."
As soon as he heard this, Lin Jue put aside his doubts and showed no hesitation anymore. He would wait and see Qiu Wanshan's reaction tomorrow before making any plans. If he could escape unscathed, there would be no need to worry.
"Okay!" Lin Shuo stood up suddenly: "I have long wanted to get rid of the Chu thieves who brought disaster to the country and the people. Well, tomorrow the Japanese general will impeach Chu Qing in the court hall. I will wait for you and the country. , seek justice for the people."
Liu Shang showed a happy smile: "Good."
The two conspired again. Liu Shang was in a good mood and insisted on drinking a few glasses of wine with Lin Jue.
After chatting for a while, both of them drank a lot, and then Liu Shang left the Lin Mansion.
Lin Jue was a general and had a good capacity for drinking. He was a bit drunk, but not very drunk.
Back in the main hall, Lin Jue began to make plans.
The Minister of War has been in Nanguan for a long time. As Liu Shang said, the emperor has no intention of recalling him.
The aristocratic families and civil servants do not have the ability to decide who will serve as the Minister of War, but they can promote this matter. Once the Minister of War becomes the Marshal of Nanguan, Beijing will definitely choose someone to serve as the Minister of War.
There are actually not many people who are qualified.
Qin Gang is qualified and is more than enough to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he is a general of the Zhu Kingdom and is in charge of the eight camps in the capital. He is in charge of the eight camps, so he cannot be the Minister of the Ministry of War.
After eliminating the "competitors" one by one, Lin Jue smiled. The distance to the position of Minister seemed not that far away.
