Chapter 220: Impeachment

Chongzhen's seven years of Jinshi Yang Yi, Gong Dingyu, Wu Changshi and other three people all entered the Hanlin Academy, became Shu Jishi, Zhang Pu, who served as the county governor outside, was also transferred back to the capital, entered the Imperial Inspectorate, and became the supervision of the seventh grade, Wu Weiye entered the Ministry of Rites, became the head of the Qing Officials Division of the sixth grade, these five people soon formed a small group, which attracted the attention of many people.

Zhang Pu's adjustment was originally a horizontal adjustment, and the original magistrate was also a seven-pin, but the meaning is never the same, the Beijing official and the local official are very different, and the identity of the supervision of the imperial history is even different, any official of the imperial court can be impeached, and every early dynasty is to participate, from this point of view, Zhang Pu has obviously been reused.

The influence of the Ying Society and the Fu Society is still there, Zhang Pu is the leader of the Fu Society, Yang Yi is the leader of the Ying Society, the combination of these five people, the power that burst out is still not small, but because of the rise of Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu, their influence is greatly reduced, after all, Zheng Xunrui is already the left attendant of the military department of the third grade, and Yang Tingshu is the Shao Zhan Shi of the Zhan Shifu of the fourth grade, and many people know that Zheng Xunrui, Yang Tingshu and Zhang Pu, Yang Yi, Gong Dingyu and others are cut off from their robes, and the contradictions between them are difficult to reconcile.

In terms of the comparison of strength, Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu have an absolute advantage, Zheng Xunrui has done too many things in the position of the prefect of Yan'an Mansion and the governor of Yansui, especially in the extermination of the Liukou, the merits made are known to the Manchu Dynasty, if there is a fight between them, Zhang Pu and others are obviously not opponents.

When Chongzhen was in the seventh year, Chen Yaoyan, who was transferred to the prefect of Qingyang Mansion by Huke, committed suicide, which once shook the imperial court, after all, Qingyang Mansion is under the direct jurisdiction of the governor of Yansui, and Chen Yaoyan is a well-known Donglin Party, does this mean that there is a big conflict between Zheng Xunrui and the Donglin Party.

Zhang Pu and Wu Weiye and others were recommended and touted by the Donglin Party, I don't know why, at this critical moment, Zhang Pu can be reused, and it is in the position of supervising the imperial history.

Just when everyone was still in suspicion, Yin Liu Zongzhou of Shuntian Mansion was transferred to the Ministry of Industry as Zuo Shilang because he was unwilling to enter the cabinet, Shao Zhan Shi Yao Ximeng was appointed as Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and Zhang Cai, the magistrate of Linchuan County, was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the imperial history.

Such an adjustment made the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs unable to see through it.

Zhang Caiqi, a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, a native of Taicang, Nanzhili, the founder of the Ying Society, has a particularly good relationship with Zhang Pu and Yang Yi and others, and once because Yang Tingshu withdrew from the Ying Society, he was furious and threatened to work hard with Yang Tingshu.

Could it be that the Donglin Party is about to start raising its head in the DPRK and the Central Committee again?

The Donglin Party once confronted Wen Tiren because of its support for Zhou Yanru, and after Wen Tiren became the first assistant to the cabinet, it suffered a blow, and some of the high-ranking Donglin Party members were almost all dismissed, or transferred, this time the situation was very strange, especially Liu Zongzhou was planned to be promoted to the cabinet assistant, although Liu Zongzhou refused, but this revealed a strong signal.

Zhang Pu and Zhang Caiqi are undoubtedly supporting and devoting themselves to the Donglin Party, Wu Weiye, Wu Changshi, Yang Yi and Gong Dingyu also support and support the Donglin Party, and more importantly, Zhang Pu, Wu Weiye, Wu Changshi and Gong Dingyu and others are very young and have unlimited futures.

The sixth day of the second month of the eighth year of Chongzhen.

Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Wu Weiye, Yang Yi, Wu Changshi, Gong Dingyu and others gathered in the restaurant, on the one hand, to congratulate Zhang Cai for his transfer to the capital in early February and to serve as the superintendent of the Imperial History, and on the other hand, to care about the extermination of the Liukou in Henan.

Everyone was elated, and they were happy to be able to meet in the capital, and to be able to attract the attention of the adults in the court, and even to see a bright future.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Pu began to mention the extermination of the Liukou in Henan.

"I got the news that Zheng Xunrui, the left attendant of the military department, exterminated the Liukou in Henan and won a heavy victory, but he did two things that caused criticism."

Everyone's attention quickly focused, knowing that Zheng Xunrui was a thorn in their side.

"The first thing is to kill the Sichuan general soldier Deng Xi, the reason is to delay the military aircraft and deduct military salaries, Zheng Xunrui held the sword of Shang Fang, and when he surrounded and suppressed Liukou He Yilong and He Jin, Deng Xi was not able to carry out the order to block, and deducted military salaries, and almost led the sergeant to mutiny, Zheng Xunrui went to the barracks to stop the mutiny of the sergeant and killed Deng Xi."

"The second thing is to let the Liukou Lao Hui, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong escape, which is nothing to discuss, but Zheng Xunrui did not send the armies of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Shandong to jointly encircle and suppress, so that the Liukou found an opportunity, Shanxi's 20,000 troops were stationed in Xiuwu County, facing more than 100,000 Liukou, suffering heavy losses, and letting the Liukou enter the Shanxi ......"

Before Zhang Pu finished speaking, Gong Ding stood up.

"To be impeached, to be impeached."

Yang Yi and Zhang Cai are slightly older, Zhang Cai and Zhang Pu have both worked as magistrates below, and they are naturally more experienced in handling things.

Yang Yi looked at Gong Dingyu.

"Shou Kai don't get excited, and listen to Tianru first."

Zhang Cai also spoke.

"What Zichang said is, Shoukai calm down, listen to Tianru, and then let's discuss."

The young and vigorous Gong Dingyu sat down with a red face, there was an uncommon hatred between him and Zheng Xunrui, and when he heard these words, he naturally couldn't help it.

Zhang Pu looked at Gong Dingyu and spoke again.

"If you want to impeach Zheng Xunrui, it's not so easy, if you impeach on impulse, it will be bad and counterproductive, you must negotiate the best reason, so that it can really work, and don't think about letting Zheng Xunrui be deposed, it is impossible at present, so our impeachment must achieve two purposes."

"The first purpose is not to let Zheng Xunrui continue to be responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, this matter was previously directly responsible for the Governor of the Five Provinces, Lord Hong, there is no war at the Datong Border Pass, the matter of exterminating the Liukou should be Lord Hong to continue to be responsible, the Liukou has suffered a heavy blow and fallen into a trough, and the next thing is to be completely exterminated, such a huge achievement, what qualifications does Zheng Xunrui have to obtain, you must know that the imperial court in order to exterminate the Liukou, the investment is huge, if it is not for Lord Hong to do a good job in the front, how can Zheng Xunrui win."

"The second purpose is to make the emperor dissatisfied with Zheng Xunrui, it is a little difficult to do this, after all, Zheng Xunrui protected Fengyang, the central capital, such a credit The emperor will not forget it, but unfortunately Zheng Xunrui is young and frivolous, thinking that with merit, he will do whatever he wants, and actually killed Deng Xi, the general soldier of Sichuan, he doesn't know Yuan Chonghuan's arrogance, when Yuan Chonghuan killed Lord Mao Wenlong, it caused a series of disasters, which made the emperor extremely dissatisfied, and now Zheng Xunrui, isn't he taking the old way."

Zhang Pu said that everyone nodded.

Wu Weiye's face was not very good, he felt that everyone was impeached for the sake of impeachment, and did not take into account the affairs of the imperial court, as if it was from the perspective of personal grievances, in fact, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong back then. Isn't it also from the perspective of personal grudges, and finally caused trouble.

However, under such circumstances, Wu Weiye could not speak.

Zhang Pu's eyes were very vicious, and he saw Wu Weiye's abnormality.

"Jungong, what's wrong with you, is it what I said that makes you feel uncomfortable."

"No, no, I'm not very drunk, I drank a little more quickly just now, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

The hot-tempered Zhang Cai spoke.

"Jun Gong, today we are gathering to discuss a big matter, I have entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this impeachment matter is my duty, Zheng Xunrui bewitched Yang Tingshu and made Yang Tingshu withdraw from the Ying Society, I will never forget this matter, such a good impeachment opportunity, how can I miss it, if Jun Gong is unwilling to participate in it, although it is clear, we will not be reluctant."

As soon as Zhang Cai finished speaking, Yang Yi immediately spoke.

"Accept first, Jun Gong is not such a person, you don't have to be excited, Jun Gong is indeed not strong enough to drink, we all know this."

After Yang Yi finished speaking, Zhang Pu also spoke.

"Shouxian, you said this strictly, Jun Gong and I are like brothers, even if there are different views, it's okay, we are learning from others, you must know that we must unite to form a joint force, otherwise nothing will be achieved."

This little episode passed quickly, and everyone began to discuss how to impeach Zheng Xunrui, as the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, not to mention that so many Jinshi discussed together, and they quickly worked out the reasons for impeachment.

Zhang Pu had already found a pen and ink inkstone and wrote it himself, and the draft was completed in one go in a short time.

There are three reasons for the impeachment of Zheng Xunrui, the first is that although Zheng Xunrui has made great achievements in the extermination of the Liukou in Henan, but at the most critical moment, he was not able to take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely exterminate the Liukou, and he was not able to lead the armies of all walks of life well, and did not form a situation of encirclement. The third is that Zheng Xunrui abused his power, without consulting the imperial court, without reporting to the emperor, and killed Deng Xi, the chief soldier of Sichuan, although there was a reason for the incident, Zheng Xunrui could completely detain Deng Xi and report to the court for disposal, and Zheng Xunrui only killed Deng Xi, the chief soldier of Sichuan, and did not deal with the rest of the officers and sergeants who made trouble, which was obviously unfair.

The impeachment twists and turns, there is no mention of the court's handling of Zheng Xunrui's affairs, this is where everyone is smart, they will not disgust the emperor, Zheng Xunrui has just made a contribution, if they are in the impeachment twists and turns, because of Zheng Xunrui's little flaw, they will ask for the revocation of one of his official positions, or even put him in prison, I am afraid that the fold will be folded, and it is they who are really imprisoned
