Although Zheng Kezhang set the tone to cooperate with Siam to send troops to Burma, it is not a simple matter to really reach an agreement between the two countries to jointly send troops, how to divide the interests of each other, the design of the march route, how to cooperate between the two armies, the sharing of military expenses, etc., etc., all need to be seriously bargained before the final agreement is reached, and before the final agreement is reached, the Hajj of the Siam crown prince is a more important event on the surface.

Not to mention how the Siamese side handled the major event of the crown prince's entry into the Hajj, which received a reply from the Chinese court, on the sixth day of the fifth month of the 20th year of Wucheng, Wujin County, Changzhou, Jiangnan, gave birth to a major event that was enough to be recorded in history.

"Some, Gao Rong, the Lang of the Wujin County Meritorious People's Conference, wants to impeach the county magistrate Dian Xingcheng today for shielding his subordinates, embezzling official funds, and manipulating the market." Gao Rong's words echoed in the small venue, so that the speakers present looked at him dumbfounded. "Contracting construction and encroaching on the interests of the government and the people."

Although the Imperial Meritorious People's Association has the right to impeach county-level officials, but since the establishment of the Meritorious People's Association, this right is only an atomic bomb of deterrence, and has never been practical. I'm afraid that even your status as a meritorious citizen will not be able to remain. ”

The speaker was kind-hearted, but Gao Rong, who had eaten the scales, replied unmoved: "There is definite evidence." ”

Saying that, Gao Rong distributed the so-called evidence gathered to the speakers: "Please check carefully." ”

Several councillors invariably looked through these words, and someone spoke for a long time: "If it is true that the decree disregards the law of the country according to the confession submitted by Gao Yilang, then this is only a one-sided statement."

Gao Rong interrupted: "A certain person is willing to confront Dian Dayin and the lords of the houses one by one"

"Ladies and gentlemen, you say that this meritorious people will want the official to justify his own governance, this, this is simply unreasonable." The request for the summons of the Gongmin Association was quickly sent to the Yamen of Wujin County, and the Dianzhi County, who received the summons, was angry and found a group of subordinates to discuss countermeasures. "Xiaomin holds the officials accountable, this, this is really an unprecedented humiliation."

"Lord Dian, the Gongmin Association was established by order, and at the beginning of its establishment, the imperial court granted the power of impeachment, so when there is an impeachment, it is also appropriate to ask the impeached officials to defend themselves in the past." Having said that, in the eyes of most of the officials in the court, it is a great humiliation to be dragged to the meritorious people's meeting to defend themselves, and whether or not they can persuade the councillors who suppressed these troubles, the impeached magistrate and several other officials involved will definitely lose face in front of the county officials, gentry, and people, and how can they exercise their original powers in the future. "It's just that the adults are the parents of this county, how can they lose the official ceremony, so in the opinion of the following officials, the adults don't have to be present in person, just write a defense and hand it over on behalf of several adults involved."

"The county lieutenant is inappropriate." According to the system of the Huaxia Dynasty, the county lieutenant does not manage Ding Zhuang in the county, the regimental training does not manage the police watch, but is in charge of urban management like the general judgment at the state level, in other words, it is equivalent to the position of the mayor of Chengguan Town in another time and space, so there is no direct relationship between him and the county housekeeper, but the rank is higher than the other party, so there is no need to be too respectful as far as the Dushuifang Huang ruler involved in the case is concerned. "What is the difference between the court's defense and the self-defense in person, the same loss of identity and authority in the eyes of the government and the people, I am afraid that the same government decree will not work in the future."

Regarding the confrontation of Huang's main government, the county lieutenant who felt that his identity was different did not refute it, but the county magistrate Bo, who was equivalent to the director of the office, slightly felt that the other party was domineering, so he frowned and asked: "Then in the opinion of Lord Huang, how to deal with it?" ”

The chief is in charge of the official documents up and down, and plays a liaison role between the county house and the county government, so Lord Huang didn't dare to trust him too much, so he replied honestly: "The meaning of the lower official is very simple, that is, don't pay attention to it." ”

The county reminded: "The meritorious people will act according to the will, if you don't go, I'm afraid of being disrespectful." ”

The county is equivalent to the deputy county magistrate, and is entrusted by the county to share the management power of several departments, but in this county, the county is not directly in charge of the affairs of the water house, so Huang is not the same as the lord, just because the other party theoretically may become the county magistrate, so there is a respect in the answer: "Lord Yang, although the Gongmin Association acts according to the will, there is no provision in the imperial court official system and laws that officials must accept the questioning of the Gongmin Association, so to go is to obey the order, and not to go is to obey the order." ”

Yangxian Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the head of the county's house arrester: "Lord Hua, can there be such a statement?" ”

In fact, the head of the house is not familiar with the law, but there is no legal office at the county level, there is no branch of the Grand Trial Court, and there is no Supervision Yuan, so the power of the legal department is concentrated in the hands of the house arrester, so it will become the object of inquiry in Yangxian Cheng.

I saw that the flower lord straightened the black gauze hat on his head, and replied sternly: "But this is the case, but the lower official construction yì, even if the magistrate of the county does not go to the meritorious people to defend himself, he has to report to the mansion, as for whether he wants to greet the supervision institute, please also ask the magistrate to think carefully, after all, the clear is from the turbidity, and the turbidity is from the turbidity." ”

After listening to the words of Lord Hua, the eyes of several officials involved in the case fell on the faces of Dianzhi County, but a few people from the county government needed to avoid suspicion and did not say anything, so Dian Xingcheng laughed dryly: "Lord Hua's construction is good, even if the official is guilty, it must be determined by the imperial court, and it is absolutely impossible to open this opening and let the people interfere in politics."

Dian Xingcheng's idea is very simple, and it hits the heart of the problem, and it is impossible for the civilian clique that has held state power for one or two thousand years to welcome the emerging forces to share this qiē.

However, the tide is unstoppable, the Gongmin Association will summon the magistrate and the magistrate, nor will the officials involved in the case, and the Gongmin Association will become an ornament, this result is what all the councilors do not want to see, so Dian Xingcheng is not guilty and guilty.

On May 22 of that year, the Wujin County Meritorious People's Association made a unanimous resolution to impeach the county magistrate Xingcheng and the following 17 officials.

The impeachment resolution was sent to the county government, and Dian Xingcheng once again turned a blind eye. Seeing that Dianzhi County was unwilling to go to office automatically, the county meritorious people association sent the impeachment results to Fucheng. Tao Daxing, the prefect, was at a loss with the two reports sent one after the other, and only replied to the Gongmin Association after several days, saying that the power to depose lay with the Inquisitor's Yuan, and that the county Gongmin Association could not encroach on it at will. Wujin County Councillor was not convinced, these old meritorious people were the real privileged class of the Chinese Dynasty, so they were connected with the county meritorious associations, and then the Changzhou county meritorious associations jointly wrote to Tao Daxing to support the impeachment resolution of the Wujin County Meritorious People's Association, but was beaten back by Tao Governor's Mansion again.

It is said that when things get out here, ordinary people should die down, but the secret spies in the inner court quickly reported the news to Wuchang and attracted Zheng Kezang's attention. At the behest of Zheng Kezang, the newspapers in the Inner Court's possession soon spread the impeachment of the Wujin County Gongmin Association and related circumstances throughout the Yangtze River, causing great controversy.

In their opinion, if the impeachment case here cannot have a satisfactory result, then the meritorious system will be greatly impacted, and then lead the officials to try to embezzle the interests of the meritorious people, so they unanimously support the actions of the Wujin County Councillors. Because the situation gradually became secretive, and the palace was behind it, Jiangnan Xingtai has not made a positive statement on the Wujin impeachment case, which made the incident slide in an uncontrollable direction.

On September 27, the 20th year of Wucheng, the Gongmin Associations of 116 counties in Jiangnan, Jianghuai, western Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces jointly submitted a petition to Wuchang, requesting Zheng Kezhang to reconfirm the impeachment power of the Gongmin Association and improve the system of impeachment and removal from office accordingly.

The Chinese court was naturally reluctant to see the power of the meritorious people sit large, but Zheng Kezhang was in favor of strengthening the meritorious system on the grounds of maintaining the national system, which produced a higher-level contradiction, but the two sides were not willing to reproduce the confrontation between the imperial power and the courtiers that appeared in the nineteenth year of Wucheng, so under the common compromise of the two sides, an agreement was reached on the impeachment case of the Wucheng County Gongmin Association.

On October 25, the 20th year of Wucheng, Zheng Kezhang issued an edict, reaffirming the power of the Gongmin Association to impeach officials, and according to the content of the impeachment and the strict rule of the case, the Xingtai Judge Branch made transfers, demotions, dismissals, and transfers to the judicial department and other levels of disposition, thus making the power of impeachment of the Gongmin Association concretized, while the civil official group continued to maintain the power of final disposition.

Just when everyone thought that the dark clouds would disperse one day, the Jiangnan Xingtai Supervision Branch issued a report on the investigation of the officials involved in the impeachment case in Wujin County, and the county magistrate Dian Xingcheng and the head of Dushui Fang, Huang Youling, were confirmed to have indeed colluded with internal and external parties to embezzle official funds. Zheng Kezhang praised the Wujin County Meritorious People's Association for its strong supervision, and officially expanded the scale of the Gongmin Association, which was originally limited to the county and the state capital, to the state capital level, thus causing panic among the civil official group.

Under these circumstances, in order to check and balance the expansion of the power of the Gongmin Association, Prime Minister Chen Ke proposed to Zheng Kezhang to set up a Xiangxian Association to contain the Gongmin Association and proposed that officials at all levels should only be removed from their posts if they were jointly impeached by the Gongmin and Xiangxian associations. Zheng Kezhang did not make a mistake in this regard, but made clear provisions on the rights and responsibilities of the Gongmin Association and the Xiangxian Association, that is, the rights of the Gongmin Association are higher than those of the Xiangxian Association, and the resolution effect of the Gongmin Association is also higher than that of the Xiangxian Association, so as to stabilize the meritorious system.

After that, on the 19th day of the first month of the 21st year of Wucheng, Zheng Kezhang added an edict, announcing that on the basis of the successful operation of the state government meritorious people association and the township sage association, the provincial meritorious people association and the township sage association would be established three years after the establishment of the first state government meritorious people association and the township sage association. Although due to the interference of the civil official clique, until Zheng Kezang's death, he did not set up a national meritorious association and a village sage association, but the establishment of the state council and the provincial council announced that a new political force containing the civilian clique officially appeared on the stage, and a new era of breaking the cycle shone from the crack in the door
