Early the next morning, there was a rumor in the household yamen that Ouyang Xiaoda, who was punished for dirty storage in the backyard, was dismissed because of his bad errands.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, especially in officialdom, everyone knows what kind of errand is unfavorable. While gloating, he was also a little envious, look, he was found out to be so lightly punished for being greedy for nearly 10,000 taels of silver, this is the power of an official with a background.

And Shen Chongming, who is the plucker, doesn't know much about the follow-up of this matter, of course, he is more lazy to understand, after all, it is not fun to be used as a gun.

He was fine, but Ouyang Jingzhi became more and more annoyed when he watched his nephew, who was originally jumping around, becoming more and more depressed.

This Zhao Qiming and the Ministry of Officials Shen didn't give themselves face, so they directly stabbed this avoidable thing in front of Zhang Juzheng, and they were obviously slapping themselves in the face in public. If they are not punished, will others no longer take themselves seriously!

Zhao Qiming is just that, after all, he is the direct boss of the penalty library, if the incident happens in the future and he does not report it now, it will be a big thing to lose his position. But you, Lord Shen, an outsider, could have stayed out of the matter, but as a pioneer, he did something that was not his own, and stabbed this matter in front of Zhang Juzheng, which was obviously deliberately against the old man, and didn't give you some color to see, I don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!

With a plan, Ouyang Jingzhi immediately took action and ordered Hu Yingjia to impeach Shen Chongming for exceeding his authority on this matter! However, Ouyang Jingzhi forgot one thing, that is, he didn't check the details of Shen Chongming, and knew that he was a young official who didn't know the height of the sky.

Although this crime is not big, it is enough for a young man who has just entered the career to drink a pot, as long as there is such a stain, it will be even more difficult to be promoted in the future.

Hu Yingjia was picked up by Lord Ouyang, so he was naturally obedient, and after some investigation, he learned that this little official who didn't know the height of the sky was Shen Chongming, although he was afraid of his identity as a high-arched disciple, but after thinking about the provocation of the Ministry of Officials and the Qing Officials Department a few days ago, he still gritted his teeth and wrote an impeachment note and submitted it.

Since Emperor Jiajing became obsessed with immortality, he has been very upper-handed, and many things are all agreed by the cabinet, and the celebrant and supervisor approve the red, and once these two checkpoints are passed, it will take effect.

And the cabinet has a meeting every morning, all of which are attended by the chief officials and deputies of the yamen, which is essentially an early dynasty without the emperor.

As is customary, the people discuss the big things that happened in the place for a while, and then the small things like impeachment.

Ouyang Jingzhi has been preparing for a long time, and most of the things have been discussed, and he immediately said to the first assistant Xu Jie: "Lord Xu, yesterday I heard from Lord Hu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that a batch of excerpts for impeachment and participation in many officials were submitted, I don't know if the cabinet can make a conclusion?" ”

Xu Jie smiled, patted his head and said: "Oh, the affairs are busy, the official has forgotten about this matter, and with all the adults here, let's discuss it well." After that, he raised his voice and ordered: "Come, bring the batch of folds sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate yesterday." ”

There are not many excerpts, only five copies. On weekdays, the people impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all local officials, and such a matter cannot be concluded on the spot, so it can only be handed over to the relevant yamen to send someone to verify.

Turning to the last one, Xu Jie couldn't help but pause, his eyes looked at Ouyang Jingzhi very strangely, but he was faintly unhappy in his heart, the older this Lord Ouyang is, the more confused he becomes, this matter is just that, you are not a regeneration, when the high arch is easy to bully.

But even if he wants to suppress this matter, there is no way to do it, and it is worth saying a few words.

Before Ouyang Jingzhi could start adding oil and vinegar, Gao Gong became angry, and his eyes glared: "The imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate don't do their business every day, so they know to grasp these trivial things. ”

Ouyang Jing was stunned for a moment, and immediately counterattacked: "Lord Gao's words are wrong, the sage Youyun don't take the good as a small thing, don't take the evil as a small thing, the imperial historians of my Imperial Procuratorate are also to prevent the slightest mistake, and the provincial officials will have no rules for doing errands in the future." ”

"Hmph, Lord Ouyang's sage words are in the wrong place, is this matter a bad thing?" Gao Gong glanced at Ouyang Jingzhi with disdain and said.

Being said to be like this, Ouyang Jingzhi's old face couldn't help but turn red, and he argued forcefully: "Lord Gao, this official is just talking about things, don't you go elsewhere, if this matter is not punished, everyone will exceed their authority in the future, then won't the court be chaotic?" ”

"If you exceed your authority in order to investigate and punish corrupt officials, I am afraid that this court will not only be chaotic, but it will be extremely clear." Gao Gong does not give an inch, and it is worthy of being a teacher to love his disciples like this.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xu Jie hurriedly said, "The two adults are angry. Lord Ouyang, you don't have to be too serious, after all, this Shen Chongming has just joined the company, and he doesn't understand many things, so Lord Ouyang should tolerate this. Gao doesn't need to take it too seriously, after all, this is the duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is reasonable for them to be impeached, and Gao should understand. ”

After all, Xu Jie is the first assistant, although Gao Gong and Ouyang Jingzhi are still not convinced, but he has said this, and he can only obey his orders, the two of them glanced at each other, and sat there without anyone talking.

Just when Gao Gong Ouyang Jingzhi and the others were arguing about this matter, Emperor Jiajing in the deep palace was also listening to Li Fang tell about it.

"This little Shenzi doesn't understand the rules, and he told Zhang Juzheng about this matter after being pouted by Zhao Qiming, hehe, he almost didn't make Lord Ouyang angry." Li Fang said with a smile, he knew the cause and development of the matter clearly.

"Hehe, bumps and bumps are all good things, let him go." Emperor Jiajing shook his head with a smile, and then ordered: "You take care of it, Xu Jie's amount is not tolerant, with the previous things, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate Xiao Shenzi, don't let him spoil my dim sum." ”

"Yes, the slave must take care of him." Li Fang hurriedly responded, and then whispered: "Master, Yan Shifan has been moving a lot recently, according to the people below, he is actually in contact with the Dongying people now. ”

"Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan, he prides himself on being extremely smart, but even Yan Song's ten percent is worth a lot, he doesn't know what kind of courtier I want. Alas, it's a pity that Yan Song has no successor. Emperor Jiajing said with some emotion. Recently, my health has not been good, and I often think about the past, but I find that Yan Song is the only one who understands his mind best over the years.

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing sighed with emotion, Li Fang also sighed twice, and then asked cautiously: "Master, how should this matter be handled?" ”

The meaning of these words Emperor Jiajing understood that Li Fang had served him for so many years, and his understanding of his mind was second only to Yan Song, and he knew that what he hated most was the widow who had disturbed him for many years. Now Yan Shifan's collusion with the Japanese is a big taboo, and to put it bluntly, he has caused the disaster of death.

"Alas, after all, he is Yan Song's only son, and it is really a bit difficult for me to kill him like this. You don't have to worry about this matter, someone is more anxious than you, and when they come forward, I won't feel ashamed of Yan Song when I kill someone. ”

The person Emperor Jiajing said, Li Fang naturally knew who it was, and bowed down and said: "The slave and maid understand, so I will tell the people below to look at Yan Shi, and don't let Yan Shifan cause any big trouble." ”

Very obedient, highly perceptive, and insightful, these three points are the reasons why Li Fang has been in the palace for decades, and he is indeed a rare good minion.

"Well, go ahead." Emperor Jiajing said and continued to sit there and take a seat.

"Students meet teachers." Shen Chongming smiled and bowed to Gao Gong.

Today, just after the Ya out of the gate of the Ministry of Officials was stopped by Gao Gong's long entourage, as soon as he heard that Gao Gong wanted to see him, he didn't even return home and went straight to Gao Fu.

Looking at this disciple's grinning face, Gao Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly, this kid himself is getting more and more incomprehensible, sometimes he is as fine as a monkey, sometimes he is careless, if he didn't happen to be in the cabinet for a while today, I am afraid that at this time, the charge of overstepping his duties has been confirmed by the three-inch tongue of the old man Ouyang.

"Chongming, did you let people use it as a gun this time?" His disciple Gao Gong didn't bother to use his scheming to ask questions in a vague way.

As soon as he said this, Shen Chongming felt ashamed, he thought that his scheming was unparalleled in the world, but he didn't expect that he would be put on a show just a few days after he was on an errand.

"Teacher, the student has just joined the company, and he doesn't understand a lot of things, so he was accidentally used as a gun. But please rest assured, teacher, this is the only time this happens, and the students will never embarrass you again. ”

"Hehe, it's not that you are blamed for being a teacher, but I am angry that you don't say that I will inform you of such a big thing, if it weren't for the fact that I was also in the cabinet today, your kid would have suffered." Gao Gong nodded Shen Chongming and said, showing his concern.

Shen Chongming's heart was also very moved, after getting along for a long time, Gao Gong couldn't feel his goodness, it was really a great blessing to have such a teacher.

"Teacher Xie cares, and the students will definitely ask you more in the future."
