Chapter 65: Impeachment

But she has no choice, she now has a grandson who is still in infancy, and a daughter-in-law who is in confinement, and she can't support so many people with the pension allocated by the court, not to mention that the court doesn't know if it will give a pension.

If there is no pension, the family will not have even a little income, and the family will starve to death.

So even if she was reluctant, she could only agree to her son's joining the army.

Yang He was silent for a while and said: "Three catties, otherwise, I plan to open a tavern, you come to the tavern as a buddy." ”

Wei Sanjin shook his head: "I can't read or count, so I can't be a buddy." Besides, I have a lot of food, and I can take care of my children as a soldier, but I can't take care of my children as a man. ”

Yang He smiled when he heard this: "How big can you be when you eat, you are a buddy for me, can I still care if you are full?" ”

Wang Goudan smiled: "The military master doesn't know, in fact, the name of his Wei Sanjin is a nickname, when he was thirteen years old, his father bought three catties of meat and went home for the New Year, after his mother cooked the meat, this kid secretly ate all the meat." Later, when everyone found out about this, they called him Wei Sanjin, but the original name was not called. ”

Wei Sanjin scratched his head: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, I ate all the meat, my father, my mother and my brother didn't get meat to eat that year." ”

"Good guy, eating three catties of meat in one meal is really a good amount of food, just this amount of food, except for the army, ordinary places really can't support him." Zhang Fengqi exclaimed.

Turning his head to look at Yang He, Zhang Fengqi smiled and said, "Lord Yang, in the opinion of the lower officials, this kid is a talent that can be created, so you can stay." ”

"I don't want to keep him, but when I am a soldier and fight, how can there be no immortal? If he dies, how can I be worthy of his dead father and big brother? Yang He shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "Lord Yang's words are wrong, if you become a soldier, you will definitely die on the battlefield?" If you don't become a soldier, you won't die? I'm afraid it's not likely, right? ”

Yang He nodded lightly: "Since the county lord is a guest for him, then I will accept him, but the name Sanjin doesn't sound good, others know the origin of his name, and they don't treat him as a rice bucket?" I'm tired of changing his name. ”

"Change your name?" Zhang Fengqi couldn't help but groan when he heard this.

After a while, Zhang Fengqi smiled and said: "This child is strong, presumably his strength will not be small, in this way, it is called Shanjin, the mountain of the mountain, the strength of the energy." ”

Yang He laughed when he heard this: "This name is apt, Shanjin, and I don't thank the county lord for giving me the name." ”

Wei Sanjin was overjoyed, knelt down in front of Zhang Fengqi, and kowtowed three times: "Thank you for the name of the county master." ”

Zhang Fengqi waved his hand: "It's still Lord Xie Yang, don't think that this official is for your good if you intercede, in fact, Lord Yang is really good for you." ”

"I understand, I will definitely listen to Lord Yang in the future." Wei Sanjin said and kowtowed to Yang He three more times.

"What about me, you took three catties, will you take me too?" Wang Goudan said hurriedly.

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "Lord Yang, this kid speaks well, and he is trained and trained, I don't think he is inferior to your pro-soldier." ”

Yang He said with a smile: "The county lord's vision is naturally not bad, that's okay, this kid has also accepted it, but I still have to bother the adult to give him a name." Dogs? This is a serious name, in my opinion, it is not as good as the name of three catties! In addition, there are many people under my command who call dogs, and they are all called dogs, so what has become of my military camp. ”

Zhang Fengqi laughed when he heard this.

After laughing for a while, Zhang Fengqi said: "Just now Lord Yang said that a man's duty is to protect his family, which is not bad, if he can't even protect his family, how can he talk about protecting the country?" I hope you will remember Lord Yang's words, and if you can protect your family and defend the country in the future, you can call it defending the country. ”

Wang Goudan was overjoyed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The villain Xie County gave his name, and Lord Xie Yang took him in." ”

Yang He waved his hand: "Get up, you go to the place I arranged for you first, settle down at home, and then come to me." ”

"Master Xie." Wei Sanjin and Wang Goudan kowtowed again before getting up, and then followed the direction and chased after them quickly.

Looking at the backs of the two, Yang He smiled and shook his head: "It's good to be young, how can it be like being beaten up just like this?" ”

"Hahaha, Lord Yang, you don't seem to be very old, right? You feel like this, how can we be embarrassed by the human feelings of our age! Zhang Fengqi said with a smile.

Xian Cheng and the others also smiled: "Yes, this should be said by people of our age." ”

Yang He smiled when he heard this: "What I said is that in front of your big brothers, it is really not appropriate for my brother to speak like this. ”

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "Lord Yang, if you call us big brothers, then it is appropriate to speak like this." ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

After laughing for a while, Zhang Fengqi stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Cai Yong: "Lord Yang, what are you going to do with this person and his subordinates?" ”

Yang He shook his head and said: "If this person was my subordinate, I would have cut off their dog's head a long time ago, but after all, they are the guards of the army, and I have no right to deal with them, so I can only punish them slightly, I hope they can remember this lesson." ”

Sighing softly, Yang He continued: "Now that the territory of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty has been lost, if my Ming army is like this, how can I recover the lost territory." ”

Zhang Fengqi and others were silent when they heard this.

Waving his hand, Yang He continued: "Let's go, take them back to the county government first." ”

Zhang Fengqi and the others nodded, and then got into the carriage.

After walking for several miles, everyone met Li Maochun's department who came to answer.

After a brief greeting, Li Maochun informed Yang He that they had encountered deserters from the guard post on the road, and they had captured all these deserters, totaling more than 200 people.

After learning that Yang He had also captured more than 200 people, Li Maochun smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, it's okay now, half of the officers and soldiers of the Yongping Guard have been arrested by us, what are you going to do with these people." ”

Yang He said: "Cai Yong, deputy of the Yongping Guard, has admitted that he was ordered by Meng Qiaofang to commit robbery in the name of arresting traitors and spies, and Lord Zhang wants to impeach Meng Qiaofang." ”

Li Maochun pondered for a while when he heard this, and said: "Brother, have you ever thought about one thing, once Master Zhang writes to impeach Meng Qiaofang, then Meng Qiaofang, a thousand households, will be considered to be the end."

It doesn't matter if Meng Qiaofang is exempt from his post or not, but as soon as we arrived in Funing County, we made a mistake and took down the thousands of households in the guard, what do you think the people above and other troops will think of us? Brother, this is a taboo in officialdom. ”

"This ......" Yang He couldn't help but ponder when he heard this.

Yang He really didn't think about this problem, when he wanted to deal with Meng Qiaofang, he just wanted to restrain Meng Qiaofang and the officers and soldiers of the guard under his command to keep to themselves, prevent them from going to Funing County to make trouble, and create a place for himself to develop with peace of mind.

But now to take down Meng Qiaofang, it can be said that he has deviated from his original idea, and this practice does violate the taboo in officialdom.

Although on the surface, it seems that Zhang Fengqi wrote a letter to impeach Meng Qiaofang, but anyone with a discerning eye understands that if there is no help, with Zhang Fengqi, a small magistrate, how can he make the deputy Qianhu of the guard station personally admit that he was ordered by Meng Qiaofang to rob the people in the name of arresting traitors and spies?

Therefore, even if Meng Qiaofang is taken down, someone will be sent to investigate this matter.

And it is impossible to hide such a big movement, and it must be found out that it was done by yourself.

He is just a thousand generals who have not yet been officially appointed by the imperial court, even if he has the name of the regimental training chief soldier on his head, saying that he is acting on the orders of Zhang Fengqi, but in this name alone, he dares to privately mobilize the border army to suppress the guards, which can be described as ignoring the officials and the laws of the imperial court, which can be described as extremely domineering and arrogant. How can such a person be entrusted with such a task? Who would dare to work with them?

Yang He pondered for a while, raised his eyes to look at Li Maochun and said, "Big brother, in your opinion, what should I do now?" ”

"Suppress this matter and not pursue it. As long as Master Zhang does not impeach Meng Qiaofang, Meng Qiaofang will naturally not ask for trouble and poke this matter out. Li Maochun said.

Yang He couldn't help but look at Zhang Fengqi when he heard this.

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile when he heard this: "Lord Yang looks at what the lower officials do, the duty of the lower officials is to let the people of this county live and work in peace and contentment, as long as the surnamed Meng can restrain his subordinates from coming to Funing County in the future, and ensure that he will no longer disturb the people of this county, the lower officials can not be held accountable for him." ”

Smiling, Zhang Fengqi continued: "What's more, the lower official is not the imperial history, it is said that it is the impeachment of Meng Qiaofang, but in fact, it is just reported according to the truth, and after the report, how the upper officials will decide is beyond the influence of the lower officials." ”

Yang He smiled when he heard this: "Lord Zhang is too modest, with Cai Yong's testimony, there is no doubt about taking down Meng Qiaofang, my lord said this to give Yang face." ”

Zhang Fengqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Yang, we are a boat, this is what you said, things that have an impact on Lord Yang's career, Xia Guan will never do it." ”

Turning his head to look at the county Cheng and the others, Zhang Fengqi smiled and said: "Colleagues, this year is the year of the great plan of Jingcha, and this official wants to rely on Lord Yang to show his political achievements, if this official is promoted, he will not hesitate to recommend all colleagues." ”

(Note: Jingcha is to inspect the Beijing officials, and the plan is to inspect the magistrates. )

"Thank you Ming Mansion for lifting up, we will do our best to assist Ming Mansion." The county Cheng and others were overjoyed.

"In this way, Yang He thank you very much." Yang He hugged his fists.

"Lord Yang is polite." Everyone was busy.

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "Although we can let Meng Qiaofang go, this matter can't just be passed by, we must let him understand what is going on." ”

Yang He nodded: "That's exactly how it should be." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Yang He continued: "In this way, the testimony that should be taken still has to be taken, and after we get the testimony of Cai Yong and those hundred household flags, we will not report it, but give it to Meng Qiaofang." ”

"Lord Yang, Meng Qiaofang saw that we gave him the confession, so he naturally understood what was going on." Zhang Fengqi said with a smile.

"Without further ado, if it is too late, it will change, we have to return to the county government immediately to handle this matter, otherwise, once Meng Qiaofang does not know the situation and brings the troops here, then the matter will not be able to be cleaned up." County Cheng Road.

Yang He nodded: "Let's go, go back to the county office." ”

At that moment, Li Maochun ordered his subordinates to turn around, and the group escorted the prisoners of the guard post back to the county office.

Such a large group of people returned to the county seat in a huge way, which naturally attracted some onlookers.
