The news that Jinyi Weidu commanded Guo Yunshen to be imprisoned soon spread in Beijing.

The officials were like sharks smelling blood, and they all rushed towards Qin Yan.

Among them, Wang Zongmao, a native of Jingshan, is the most hardworking.

Wang Zongmao, the word Shiyu, a native of Jingshan (today belongs to Hubei), to the nineteenth year of Jinshi, awarded pedestrians, and later promoted to the imperial history.

He impeached Qin Yan, saying that his father and son were corrupt and bribe-taking, and selling official positions.

This is not a rumor, but a real example.

In the transcript, Wang Zongmao said that Li Xiyan, the secretary of the ministry, was the Qin Party, and every time the Cultural Anthology Department selected and awarded civil officials, the Qin family had to give 20 places and sell them according to the official rank, and everyone in the officialdom knew about it.

For example, the Qipinzhou judgment sold three hundred taels of silver; Six products are sentenced, five hundred taels.

Every time the military department selects and appoints military attachés, their families also have more than 10 quotas, and they are sold according to their ranks.

For example, if the conductor sells for three hundred taels, he will command the envoy to pay seven hundred taels.

Crime 2: Manipulating the selection of officials and soldiers.

Wen Xuanlang Zhongwan, who is responsible for the order, promotion, and transfer of civil officials, and Zhongfang, who is responsible for the selection, promotion, succession, and reward of military attachés, are all Qin Yan's henchmen, and are commonly known as Qin's "civil steward" and "military steward".

The two departments elected officials, each holding a bookkeeping, and the father and son of the Qin family filled in and issued.

The third charge is that the gold and silver treasures cannot be counted. According to eyewitness clouds, the Qin family has gold and silver enamel beauties that are two feet five inches tall, and even the drowning device (urine) is made of gold and silver.

The fourth charge is to plunder the land and store gold and silver. In the Qin family's original hometown, "anointing the fields and dedicating the land, not to mention all". After the Prime Minister's Mansion in Beijing, there are five empty rooms, "chiseled one zhang and five feet down, built a big stone next to it, and laid a solid board on it", "all the treasures and gold and silver utensils inside". Qin Yan's private savings "can be supplied for the needs of all sides for several years".

The fifth crime is that the slaves and servants are rampant in all directions. More than 500 domestic slaves were raised, extorted from prefectures and counties, harassed post houses, and even if the state grain ships in the canal were transported, "let them pass first."

The sixth crime is that the banquet and drink are extremely extravagant.

The seventh charge is "the son is in front of the door, and the prime minister still asks for money". Some time ago, the Tartars besieged the city of Beijing, Qin Yan not only had no strategy to resist the enemy, but also took the time to ask for bribes, there was a folk song at that time, spread all over the capital, as far as the desert: "Zangzi is in front of the door, and the prime minister still needs money." ”

The eighth charge is to cluster and nurture evil. Collect more than 30 people, and help them abuse the flames.

As soon as Wang Zongmao's recital was written, the court suddenly set off a storm and waves.

The officials who were familiar with Qin Yan on weekdays were all trembling.

Li Xiyan didn't even go to the office for several days, and stayed at home to write a book for self-impeachment.

However, it was said that it was self-impeachment, but after the book was handed over, it was transmitted to the six departments, and it almost didn't blow up the lungs of the six department members.

Where is this self-impeachment, this is clearly self-justification.

The dignified officials refused to admit Wang Zongmao's accusations in the transcript, and only said in the corners that his actions were innocent.

For example, the feasting and drinking are extremely extravagant.

This is admitted.

But the number one of the officials, what's wrong with eating and drinking at home?

It's not that there is no such silver!

As for forming a party with Qin Yan?

False accusations, absolutely false accusations.

Compared with Li Xiyan's [sincere attitude], the civil stewards and military stewards in the Ministry of Officials and Military Departments named by Wang Zongmao are a bit embarrassed.

Commuting to work in a grand manner, as if nothing happened.

In the end, the staff of the six sections entered the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, and the two sides disregarded the dignity of the officials at all and fought together, which also alarmed Xu Song in the cabinet.

Xu Song personally went to play and press, and then pressed this matter.

As for the father and son of the Qin family, under such high pressure, these two have not shown up for many days.

Just when everyone thought that the Qin family would shed their skin if they didn't die this time, suddenly, Emperor Zhizheng issued an edict.

The Ministry of Officials Wen Xuan Lang Zhong Wan Mou, the Ministry of Military Affairs Wu Xuan Lang Zhong Mou dismissed and never used.

Li Xiyan, when the country was in difficulty, did not know the inspection, was extravagant, and was fined for three months.

Qin Que was dismissed, and Qin Yan was fined for one year.

……

What's the situation?

The court was dumbfounded.

If Wang Zongmao's impeachment is followed, it is enough for these people to die eight times.

No matter how bad it is, Qin Yan has to step down.

Is it just a penalty?

But what everyone didn't expect was that Emperor Zhizheng issued an edict again, Wang Zongmao exaggerated, slandered the auxiliary ministers, and was demoted to Pingyang County.

Pingyang is in Zhejiang, and now it is a proper war zone, which has been demoted from Yushi to a war zone county, which makes everyone's jaws drop.

This is not over, Wang Zongmao's father, Wang Qiao, the political envoy of Guangdong, took over his post and returned to his hometown, never to be used.

Is there still a royal law?

Is there still a law?

Yushi impeached Qin Yan, and in the end Qin Yan was punished, Yushi himself was demoted to the county Cheng, and his father, the head of a province, was dismissed from office and never used.

Even if it was Qin Que, a petty official of the Taifu Temple, the emperor didn't mention that he would never use it.

What the hell is going on here?

Emperor, don't you speak.

Who ordered us to impeach Shousuke in the first place?

Who said that "the virtuous and complementary are not, the feelings of the gentleman and the villain are not easy to know"?

Scumbag, talking doesn't count, are you playing with us?

Compared with the petty officials at the bottom of Beijing's officialdom who are confused, the bigwigs have more information and see the problem much more clearly.

"Wang Qiao is Wu Xingbang's person, he is the same year as the same subject, and Wang Zongmao's younger brother also married the niece of the second assistant!" Xie Kun said the unknown network of the imperial court!

Xu Song said: "Although the second assistant has lost a general, the first assistant is not happy, Guo Zhu entered Beijing this time, it is estimated that it will be another big prison!" ”

Xu He and Xu Song were both rejoicing at the moment, fortunately they didn't act rashly that day.

Now it seems that Wu Xingbang's every move is all under the surveillance of Emperor Zhizheng.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Emperor Zhizheng to suddenly make a move on the second assistant when he already wanted to move Qin Yan.

This is telling Wu Xingbang, don't think I don't know your fancy intestines, what's wrong?

Do you use me as a sword?

You can poke whoever you want?

Wang Qiao's dismissal was a warning.

It is estimated that Wu Xingbang was already scared to death at this time.

……

On the 5th day of the third month of the 37th year.

The Bingchen Kedian test finally arrived at the day of the roll call outside the noon gate.

Just yesterday, the reader of Bingchenke kowtowed and knelt in front of the emperor.

Standing in front of Wu Xingbang, the cabinet scholar and the first assistant Qin Yan took the first and third place test papers to enter the study.

After listening and reading, Emperor Zheng personally set the ranking of the three people.

However, there are not so many words that the emperor really wants to write himself.

Emperor Zhizheng only wrote the six characters "First Grade, First Place" in the upper right corner of the Zhuangyuan Scroll, which is considered to be a great success.

At this time, the reader kowtowed and thanked him.

According to the rules, the emperor should give a banquet at this time, give money after the banquet, and then the paper reader withdraws, and then dismantle the test papers of the second and third grades, and fill in the names on the yellow list.
