Chapter 548: Impeachment of the Dynasty
The emperor's intention to summon Liu Yuliang back to Beijing actually caused a great shock to Zhang Sizhi, although he pretended not to care on the surface, but in his heart he had an ominous premonition. He suddenly remembered that Wang Pu's ticket for transfer to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province was planned to be sent over today according to the usual rules, but there was no movement until dark. Liu Yuliang finally couldn't help it, and sent someone to the celebrant to urge, and the answer he got made him fall into an ice cave, it was just over September, although the wind had turned cold, but it was not enough to make people shiver, but Zhang Sizhi was clear but shivering coldly.
According to what the hall official said, the person who received him was Shen Liang, the eunuch who was the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, with a cold and arrogant attitude, and only said that he should go back and wait for news.
Zhang Sizhi always felt that there was a problem, so he went through everything in his head since Zuyi entered Beijing and Niu Dan committed the crime, and everything had rules and regulations, and there could be no problems at all. He suddenly thought of the secret letter that Sun Chengzong had forwarded as evidence of Li Xin's collaboration with the enemy, and this secret letter was later transferred back to the cabinet hall. Liu Yuliang hurriedly roared and flipped through it, and finally let him turn it out, and finally relieved when he saw that the envelope of the secret letter was covered with the bright red governor's seal.
Sun Chengzong has always been cautious, and if he were not sure, he would not have sent such secret letters to Jingshi, let alone lightly stamped his governor's seal on it. Then, it can only be that Liu Yuliang is cheating, and Liu Yuliang has a criminal record, so he may have reverted to his old ways this time.
Zhang Sizhi returned home with a heavy heart, although he kept reminding himself over and over again that everything was under control, and there would be no problems, but he just sat still. Suddenly, the housekeeper came to report, "General Zuyi asks to see..."Hearing Zuyi's request to see, Zhang Sizhi's heart thumped for no reason.
Looking at the gift list that Zu Yi respectfully handed over, Zhang Sizhi only felt that the piece of paper he was holding in his hand was actually hot, and this feeling was unprecedented for him.
"A meager gift is not a tribute, please smile and accept..."
Zhang Sizhi pinched the thin gift list, and his mind turned for a long time before he said: "No merit is not rewarded, although the old man loves money, he has to take it in a good way..."
These words were straightforward and explicit, he just wanted Zu Yi to tell the truth, what was the matter of sending 100,000 taels of silver at such a sensitive moment. However, it is clear that Zu Yi does not intend to obediently explain his intentions.
"Why did Zhang Xiang ask this question?"
Until this time, Zhang Sizhi looked at Na Zuyi again, and felt that this person was not as sincere as the surface of the faithful, but he was afraid that he was also a fox like a rabbit. He suddenly had the illusion that he was like a mountaineer on that cliff, and only after climbing halfway did he realize that there was no road ahead, but at this moment, how easy was it to go down the same way?
"Take it back, the old man is tired..."
Zhang Sizhi said lightly, then put the gift list on the table again, and the housekeeper who was standing next to him quickly picked up the gift list and handed it back to Zu Yi. Zu Yi didn't expect Zhang Sizhi to send the gift list back, and he couldn't retreat under embarrassment. Zhang Sizhi didn't pay attention to it, and picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea.
Seeing that the situation was like this, Zu Yi had no choice but to confess and leave.
Early the next morning, Zhang Sizhi heard that the palace had already sent the red votes to the cabinet hall, and he was secretly happy for a while, but when he got it in his hand, his heart sank suddenly. The vote sent was not Wang Pu's transfer to Taiyuan, Shanxi, but the vote of Yulin's general Jiang Pai to be transferred to Datong to replace Wang Pu.
What does this mean? Now that Wang Pu can't go to Taiyuan, but the new Datong general has arrived, isn't he a bamboo basket? The crux of the matter is not this, but the attitude of the emperor implied behind this series of measures.
Zhang Sizhi sat on the chair in his office for a long time before he stabilized his mind, and after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, a stack of papers was placed in front of him, these notes have been placed here for a long time, and they have not been used, and now it seems that they have to be taken out.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Sizhi returned home under the pretext of illness, and as soon as he arrived at home, he hurriedly wrote a letter, ordering the housekeeper to send the letter to Li Qingfeng, the right thrifty capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Li Qingfeng is Zhang Sizhi's protΓ©gΓ©, and he is one of his few henchmen who is overweight.
The next day, at the small court meeting, Li Qingfeng, the right thrifty capital of the Imperial Palace, participated in the public impeachment of Li Xin, the chief soldier of Shanxi Town.
The gloomy emperor was furious when he heard this, "Impeachment, impeachment, all day long, either participate in this person, or sue the other person, I support you, you can't do something practical for me?" β
The emperor erupted in court, furious. The ministers were eager to shrink their whole bodies and no longer be in the emperor's sight. After Liu Yuliang's military report and music were sent to Beijing, the emperor was greatly abnormal, and now Li Qingfeng didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so he dared to touch his head.
Who knew that Li Qingfeng did not retreat because of the emperor's anger, but stepped forward and retorted: "The minister is the official of Taiwan, and it is within his duty to picket lawlessness, impeach officials, and rectify the discipline, and it is his due responsibility, and I also ask the saint to listen to the minister's words..."
Li Qingfeng made a generous statement, neither humble nor arrogant, and the ministers secretly sweated for him.
Zhu Youzhen was blocked back by his subordinates, and he couldn't refute it, so he said: "Since you are willing to play tricks, just play it, I just listen..."
"The duty of the minister is to play tricks, the minister is to impeach Li Xin for privately recruiting soldiers, privately opening up fertile land, colluding with businessmen, and abolishing tax collectors......" Li Qingfeng actually listed Li Xin's 20 major crimes in one breath, each of which is enough to kill Li Xin, if these 20 crimes are confirmed three or four out of ten, it will also be a thousand cuts, and the end of the nine clans will be destroyed.
I don't know which minister in the palace suddenly interjected, "Is there tangible evidence for such a big crime?" If it's just rumors, I'm afraid there will be a false accusation, right? β
Who knew that Li Qingfeng didn't look back from his sleeve like a trick, took out a stack of notes, raised his hand and waved it twice in the air, "This is the evidence..."
After speaking, Li Qingfeng knelt on the ground, holding the stack of notes in both hands, and said respectfully: "Please go to the Holy Palace..."
The eunuch hurriedly got off the Danqi and took the so-called evidence from Li Qingfeng's hands, and carefully put it on top of the imperial case. Zhu Youzhen glanced at the stack of evidence, and did not rush to look at it, but asked: "I'm tired, you can just talk about it one by one, let the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty also listen, how these big crimes are accomplished, and see how you worry about the country and the king..."
After Li Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't stop crying, "Your Majesty's words, the minister can't afford it, the minister's pure heart can show the sun and ......the moon" When he got here, he was choked up and couldn't speak, and he grabbed the ground with his head in excitement, and the gold bricks in the hall were knocked on the sound of banging, and the civil and military officials were all moved.
Zhu Youzhen was unmoved, and looked coldly at Li Qingfeng, who was doing his best to perform under Danqi, and did not reprimand, but waited quietly, waiting for him to wipe away his tears and continue the task that he did not complete today.
Sure enough, Li Qingfeng stopped crying for a while, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and continued to accuse Li Xin of various crimes committed in Shanxi.
This building was said one by one, stopping in the ears of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, which was even more shocking. Not to mention the rest, Li Xin led the troops and generals to abolish the tax card and reclaim the fields privately, these two items alone are already Sima Zhao's heart, and they are obvious. There is no need to enumerate the remaining crimes, but these are the only ones, if they are true......
Fan Fucui finally couldn't help it, and refuted it: "These are just your words, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." β
Li Qingfeng didn't care about Fan Fucui's questioning, and smiled at him: "If Fan Ge doesn't believe it, you can read the Chinese books in the official's hand, which are all written by Li Yuefu of Shanxi and Liu Lingyu, the political envoy of Shanxi. As mentioned above, although the lower officials did not see it with their own eyes, they saw it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears. β
Speaking of this in one breath, he paused for a moment and then continued: "If Fan Ge doesn't believe it, he will go and check it himself..."
Although the righteousness was strict at the beginning, this last sentence was a little frivolous, and Fan Fu's anger was choked, how could he, as a minister, just leave, and even if he sent someone to Shanxi to investigate the matter, how could he go in person by a court elder, which was a complete insult to him......
Li Qingfeng's portrait is unforgiving, and now that the impeachment of Li Xin has taken a great risk, he naturally can't tolerate anyone coming out to stir up the situation, even if his status is like Fan Fucui, he is not afraid, so even if he is disrespectful, he must suppress it.
Zhu Youzhen on the throne finally broke out uncontrollably, "Enough, enough... What else would you do besides arguing? A few days ago, when I was stumped by a penny, where did you loyal and filial sons go? Why is there no movement? β
Li Qingfeng fell to his knees and confessed guilt. Fan Fucui glared at Li Qingfeng fiercely, and also knelt down with guilt in his mouth.
"Li Qingfeng, since you impeached Li Xin for the crime of lawlessness, it is better for you to take the responsibility of patrolling, go to Shanxi, and verify the crimes you mentioned before one by one......
Li Qingfeng reacted very quickly, and before Zhu Youzhen's voice landed, he verbally thanked him, "Minister Li Qingfeng received the order...", and Li Qingfeng became the Shanxi patrol officer who was ordered.
After dealing with Li Qingfeng, the exhausted Zhu Youjing returned to the dormitory. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and in two days, I watched a good drama with ups and downs, such a wonderful plot, I haven't seen it for many years, and for a while, the officialdom of the Beijing division was talking about it.
On the evening of the same day, news came out from the palace that the emperor had issued an order to transfer Gao Shiming, the eunuch who had been following Li Xin in Taiyuan, to return to Beijing. This really confirmed the conjecture of the previous ministers, and the emperor's move undoubtedly released a signal.
At this point, the eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all focused on the crime committed by Li Xin, and the military report sent back by Liu Yuliang before and the shocking news in it had been overshadowed.
