The politics of the Ming Dynasty has always been to control the lower and resist the lower ones, and the civil officials who are favored by the empire can not even give the emperor's face, let alone the first assistant!

Li Mengyang can naturally reprimand Ma Wensheng because he is dissatisfied with the examination law, and it is normal to call him Ma Junzhou.

What's more, Li Mengyang also has this confidence, although he is a household langzhong, he is famous for being a direct minister, and what he eats is a bowl of rice that relies on the impeachment of the powerful to win a straight name.

During the Hongzhi period, Li Mengyang was sent to Jinyi to guard the prison because of the impeachment of his relatives Zhang Heling, and was later released by the Hongzhi Emperor because of his outspokenness, which made him suddenly become a well-known minister of the Manchu Dynasty, and naturally made him win a great reputation and get great political benefits.

made Li Mengyang quickly promoted from the head of the household department to the head of the household department in a short period of time, and from then on, he was neither afraid of the emperor's relatives nor the ministers of the courtiers, and there was nothing in the world that he did not dare to scold.

At the same time, he was also an advocate of the ancient literary movement, gathered a large group of literati to launch retro activities, and got a group of literati who echoed him, which also made him famous in the literary world.

Now, his reprimand for Ma Wensheng is naturally nothing, not to mention that the examination law is indeed difficult for him to accept, after all, after the implementation of the examination law, he, the household department, can only rely on completing the relevant government affairs of the household department to get the opportunity to be promoted.

This is different from him before, he used to do nothing, just impeach a few people and write a few poems for people to spread to win the favor of the powerful, even a few levels, and now, he can only be a qualified household official, but he is not good at managing household affairs, and even he is not clear about how much tax he pays every year in the Sichuan Qing Officials Division.

So, after the Beijing inspection, Li Mengyang's assessment was very poor, and even Wang Hua, the secretary of the household department who had always had a good temper, told him to put his mind on his own work, and he didn't have to be half-hearted.

Li Mengyang was very depressed and extremely dissatisfied with the new test method.

However, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde and the cabinet were dissatisfied with him, and Li Dongyang was full of dissatisfaction, and any reform could not make people with vested interests feel comfortable, otherwise it would not be called reform, so the implementation of the examination law through the Jingcha system is still continuing.

"Yu Chengji, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, was unconscious, causing the river to fall into disrepair, but instead overspent 30,000 stone grains and was dismissed!"

The results of the examination sent by the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate continue to be reported to the Cabinet and the Celebrant Duty Office, and the Cabinet is dismantled and read by the Cabinet, and the Cabinet University Scholar Vote is drafted.

"Accurate!"

Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate to approve it.

The celebrant immediately took it to approve the red, and the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry was directly dismissed because he was unconscious.

"Zhan Yiliang, the young secretary of Taifu Temple, managed the Gyeonggi Horse Farm for three years, resulting in a decrease of 3,000 horses instead of an increase in good horses, and he was dismissed!"

"Accurate!"

"Guozijian Si Ye Yi Congjun didn't go to the Yamen for half a year, but lingered in the Teaching Workshop Division, dismissed!"

"Accurate!"

"Pan Cong, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, interfered with local government affairs, was dismissed, and demoted to a commoner!"

"Accurate!"

"Zhan Shifu's young Zhan Shi Geng Geng and stealing and selling palace collections, dismissed! And redeem the collection in March, otherwise exile for 3,000 miles! ”

"Accurate!"

……

After the implementation of the new examination law, Jingcha can not be said to be not severe, as long as the incompetent person will be dismissed.

Zhu Houzhao also allowed this on the spot, without mercy!

And Li Mengyang was also fined for half a year for procrastination in handling government affairs, demoted to the head of the household department, stayed in the ministry for half a year, and even issued a public announcement to the yamen of various ministries in Beijing.

Li Mengyang has always paid attention to reputation, but now he is known by the entire capital that he is incompetent, and it is simply an unbearable blow to him, and what he can't accept is that instead of his household Lang median, it is actually a person from the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division, just because the director completed the audit work of the department two months ahead of schedule! I was also rewarded with an additional four months of monthly salary!

"How can this be true? It just doesn't make sense! The good and the laity live in the temple, but the noble ministers will be dismissed as useless! This is simply going to damage my Ming foundation and turbid the righteousness of the court! ”

Li Mengyang yelled angrily, and at this time, his servant came to report: "Master, Master Hanlin Xiu Yan and Master Zuo Zhongyunzhuang ask to meet!" ”

Li Mengyang knew that this test method had the greatest impact on Qingliu who was good at talking about bad and mundane affairs, so he could guess what these people were coming for, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, please!" ”

As soon as Yan Xiu and Zhuang Zhongyun came in, Li Mengyang hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask what the two brothers have to teach when they suddenly visit!" ”

And Yan Bianxiu directly surrendered his hand, and became painful: "Brother Xianji!" You have to administer justice for Zuo Gong and the others! Whining! ”

"The three gentlemen of Zuo Gong, Zhao Gong, and Liao Gong were directly killed by Ma Junzhou's generation because they had a slight remark about the government, and now they are greatly promoting the method of taking the test and cutting off the different parties, which can be described as angry and resentful, Brother Xianji, you can't sit idly by!"

Zhuang Zhongyun also said excitedly.

Li Mengyang was already dissatisfied with the examination method, but now as soon as these two people instigated, they also moved a little emotionally: "Li also deeply regrets the death of Zuo Gong and others, and he also deeply hates Ma Junzhou and his ilk for colluding with eunuchs to deceive the monarch and harm loyalty!" This is called the New Deal, which is actually a method to cut off the test results of different parties, and Li has long intended to impeach it! But it's a pity that Li Mou thought that now the court is dim, most of the officials are deceived by traitors, even if I am unfortunate to die for the sake of justice, it is a big deal if I am framed by the people of the world in the future to invite me to be famous! ”

Li Mengyang's meaning is very clear, that is, I, Li Mengyang, are not afraid of death, and it is worth dying for the impeachment of the head of the court, but I am afraid that after his death, the so-called name of loyalty and martyrdom will not be passed on to the world.

"Brother Xianji rest assured, I don't hide it, we came at his suggestion, he said that you have impeached the nobles in the court, the first emperor did not kill, now you impeach the traitorous ministers, how dare Your Majesty kill the first emperor did not kill, even if Your Majesty is bewitched by the traitorous ministers and risk the disapproval of the world, he will protect his life, and will ask the new emperor to restore your reputation in the future!"

Yan Xiu said.

Zhuang Zhongyun also echoed on the side: "That's right, presumably Brother Xianji knows who this person is, this person is the mentor of His Majesty today, the former minister of the East Palace, and he will enter the cabinet in the future. ”

Li Mengyang knew who the person they were talking about was, and he also knew that this person would definitely be able to enter the cabinet, so he also said: "That being the case, Li Mou played the impeachment of Ma Junzhou and other traitorous ministers, and His Majesty killed the traitorous ministers, punished the eunuchs, and abolished the government of harming people. ”

"Yan has thanked Brother Xianji for all the people of the world!"

"Zhuang has thanked Brother Xianji for all the people in the world!"

Both of them wept bitterly.

And Li Mengyang felt more and more that he had become a warrior and a hero, and began to write hard and wrote down the 24 charges against Ma Wensheng!
