Chapter 67: Impeachment
(Thank you for the 100 coins reward from l599xl again~)
"Green Ribbon!"
Zhang Siwei roared hoarsely.
But Shen Lun brushed his sleeves away without looking back.
Looking at Shen Lun's back, Zhang Siwei only felt so unfamiliar.
......
......
Early the next morning, the Yamen of the General Administration Department began to work as usual.
Pei Yan, the political envoy, sat in the government office, holding a fragrant tea and taking a sip slowly.
Yesterday's rain was so heavy that he was woken up a few times. Lightning tore open the sky like a dragon and snake, illuminating the heavens and the earth transparently.
Pei Yan doesn't like rain, especially such heavy rain. Standing water will hinder walking, not to mention wet the hem of the robe, which is really annoying.
As an important institution for sorting and sparse, the General Administration Department plays the role of undertaking the inner court and the outer court, and is deeply respected by the Son of Heaven and the ministers. This also makes many people envy this position.
To achieve Pei Yan's position, he has long seen the affairs of officialdom thoroughly, right and wrong are not important, what matters is attitude, attitude towards the court.
If you have no problem with your attitude, you can continue to be an official in peace and stability.
"Master Pei, this is a new batch of notes, all of which were presented by the Beijing officials."
The scribe put the thick stack of pieces on Pei Yan's bookcase and respectfully retreated.
Pei Yan has a habit, that is, the notes submitted by the Beijing officials must be seen in person.
The reason is also very simple, the probability of the Beijing official being involved in the court situation is much greater than that of the local official.
There are too many unsightly things at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if they are stabbed to the cabinet and in front of His Majesty the Emperor, it will ruin the mood of the nobles, and it is he who will be blamed.
Of course, most of the time, the music of the Beijing officials is mostly a sesame mung bean. The officials of the imperial history have no spray to talk about the style of life, such and such a person is a prostitute, and a certain principal has a habit of breaking sleeves, and so on.
Of course, this kind of performance is harmless, and Pei Yan laughed at it and let people present it to the cabinet.
However, some of them have to be cautious, and the slightest mishandling will cause serious trouble.
Pei Yan flipped through it unhurriedly, and when he turned to the letter from Shen Lun in the matter, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
Is this old boy crazy? actually impeached Zhang Gelao.
At first, Pei Yan thought that Shen Lun had written the wrong name, but when he opened the note, there was no doubt that Zhang Juzheng was impeached.
This made Pei Yan entangled. Should this note be sent to the Cabinet?
Now that Zhang Ge Lao is in charge of the cabinet, he is the cabinet leader who is the only one, and Zhang Ge Lao must not be angry when this letter is submitted?
But it seems a little inappropriate not to send it.
It is the official of science and Taoism, and it is the clear stream in the clear stream.
If he doesn't present the recital, he is likely to end up with a powerful person and block the reputation of Yanlu.
Yanguan and mad dogs have a lot in common, they bite when they see people, and they don't let go when they bite. Sometimes those who hide far away will be bitten, let alone take the initiative to provoke them.
Pei Yan closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and he had already greeted Shen Lun's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart. But it's useless to complain, this matter still has to be resolved.
After thinking about it, Pei Yan still felt that this performance should not be suppressed, so if Shen Lun wants to find death, let him go. If he really suppressed the song, this mad dog might not have bitten him.
Taking a deep breath, Pei Yan coughed and said, "Come on, send this batch of recitals to the cabinet immediately." ”
Then a scribe came over and carefully picked up the recital, and left the government office and went in the direction of the cabinet.
......
......
The cabinet is the central body of the Ming generation, and the role of the cabinet is irreplaceable in the case of the late Ming emperor's neglect.
Such an important institution is located next to the east side of the Wenhua Palace, which is a row of low duty rooms.
The humble bungalows are far from worthy of the resounding name of the cabinet. But there is no way, it has been here since the establishment of the cabinet, and there is no reason to expand and decorate.
On the side of the head of the duty room, Zhang Juzheng looked at the music carefully.
The General Administration Department has already classified the notes according to their priorities in advance, which will help Zhang Ge to read them selectively. There was dim sum tea next to Song Shu, and Zhang Juzheng stopped to drink tea and eat a snack if he was tired.
"Elder Zhang Ge, this is the note that was just sent this morning, and it is all from the Beijing officials."
I don't know when, the cabinet officer appeared behind Zhang Juzheng with a thick stack of musicals.
"Oh, put it here."
Zhang Juzheng nodded at the bookcase and closed his eyes.
"Yes."
The clerk carefully put down the song, tiptoed out of the room, and closed the door gently, for fear of disturbing Zhang Ge Lao by making a noise.
Zhang Juzheng rested for a while, and then began to look through the music again, and voted for opinions.
He is accustomed to having to do everything himself, and he has to personally vote for opinions on each note. Even when he returned to his hometown in Jingzhou in March this year to bury his father, the important notes would still be sent to Jingzhou by a special person for him to read.
But Zhang Juzheng is flesh and blood after all, and now that he is getting older, he gradually feels that his energy is low and he is a little powerless.
Sometimes Zhang Juzheng also feels confused, but after being confused, he will not hesitate to focus on dealing with government affairs.
His Majesty the Emperor is young, if he can't worry about the monarch, this government will not be a mess?
What's more, the new deal has just been implemented, and there are many things that have sudden, who else can solve these things besides him?
Looking at the tickets and preparing more than a dozen books, Zhang Juzheng gradually entered the state, like an old monk in a fixed state.
Suddenly, he flipped through a book of notes that impeached him in the matter, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
When I opened the recital, I saw Shen Lun's words conclusive, describing the "facts" of Wu Changbo's father and son and the Zhang family's embezzlement of people's land as a bad township.
Zhang Juzheng was angry and laughed, and said in his heart that these officials were really full and had nothing to do, and they fabricated such funny things.
The most ridiculous thing is that he seems to know the details of the conversation well, why can't he go to heaven if he is so powerful?
If you want to say that the family is a little more domineering, Zhang Ju believes it. But it is absolutely impossible to do anything to embezzle people's land.
The Zhang family has a lot of land in Jingzhou, but most of it is donated by relatives and some fellow villagers.
The land of the Zhang family is exempt from taxes, and those people are naturally willing to attach the land to the name of the Zhang family.
But that is just an affiliation, and the Zhang family only symbolically collects a meager rent from these "new tenants", is this also an embezzlement of people's land?
What's even more ridiculous is that Shen Lun said that Wuchang Bo's father and son embezzled people's land outside Wuchang City because they wanted to build a separate industry for the Zhang family.
Wu Changbo's eldest son, Zhang Juzheng, did see it, but it was sent by Wu Changbo when he returned home, just out of courtesy. There are no less than a few hundred powerful people who also came to Jiangling Zhang's house, could it be that these people took the opportunity to give gifts to him Zhang Juzheng?
This Shen Lun is really too much!
According to the normal process, after the ticket is drafted, it must be sent to the celebrant for approval. But Zhang Juzheng decided to skip this link and personally send the song to His Majesty the Emperor, so that His Majesty could cut off whether he Zhang Juzheng had instructed Wu Changbo and his son to embezzle the people's land!
