Chapter 160: Impeachment
The plan of the post post was proposed, and the next step was to implement it.
Under normal circumstances, a superior person puts forward a program, and it is the people below who really implement it, and the ability of the people below determines how well the program of the superior person is implemented.
Therefore, an aspiring superior prefers subordinates who can do things and can do things.
In the end, Zhu Xiongying handed over the errand of the post post to Xu Huizu to take the lead, which was an opportunity to show his ability and an opportunity to accumulate meritorious service, so Zhu Xiongying thought about it and finally decided on his brother-in-law.
In fact, it is not only because of Xu Miaojin, but because of Xu Huizu's loyalty to the Ming court.
There is a more important reason, the post post should have been handed over to the household department to do, Zhao Mian had done a good job in salt mining and the promotion of anthracite before, he was sleek, meticulous, and quite capable.
Zhu Xiongying also likes this Zhao Mian who can do things, but yesterday he received two letters of impeachment against Zhao Mian from the old man.
The old man's meaning was obviously to let Zhu Xiongying deal with it.
After all, during this time, Zhao Mian followed Zhu Xiongying to do things, not only with merit but also with hard work, a proper Taisun Party, he wanted to see how Zhu Xiongying dealt with it.
Mandarin Palace.
Today is Zhu Xiongying's first ascension after his physical recovery.
In the palace, Zhu Xiongying held two notes in his hand and said to the ministers standing respectfully below: "These are two notes of impeachment!" ”
When the ministers heard this, their originally relaxed expressions suddenly became solemn.
"Impeachment whom?"
Zhu Xiongying threw Song Shu back on the table and said slowly: "Hubu Shangshu, Zhao Mian!" ”
"Huh?"
His Royal Highness Zhao Mian suddenly felt like he had been hit on the head, and his mouth opened slightly, revealing a look of shock.
He can be described as a celebrity in the court during this time.
After getting the mention of his father-in-law Liu Sanwu, he hugged the thigh of the imperial grandson early, and then followed the imperial grandson to successfully complete the salt mining in Zhuqiao Town, as well as the apportionment and sale of snowflake salt, as well as the promotion of anthracite in Beijing in the cold winter last year......
All of this made Zhao Mianchun proud.
Even in the court, he felt that the voice of his words was about to overshadow his father-in-law Liu Sanwu, taking the post post discussed not long ago, all the questions raised by his father-in-law were denied, and he was resolutely on the side of the imperial grandson.
It's really a lot of people.
Zhao Mian quickly calmed down again.
Zhu Xiongying in the palace continued: "After thinking about it, it's better to make this matter public in front of the ministers!" In this way, right and wrong have their own judgment! ”
"Okay, who should speak, who should speak, there is no need to have any scruples, Lone treats you equally."
Zhu Xiongying's words fell, and the hall fell silent.
Ministers, look at me, I look at you, and no one has come forward for a while.
Zhao Mian was secretly proud in his heart, it was really good to hug the thigh of the emperor's grandson, the emperor's grandson is now the emperor's favorite person, who dares to criticize his people?
I don't want to think at this time, but Zhu Xiongying said: "Lone remembers, our Ming officials, even the emperor dares to contradict it, and some people even carry the coffin into the admonition, why are you afraid in front of Lone?" This is not the iron-clad minister of the Ming Dynasty that I know alone! ”
"Impeachment does not avoid the powerful, even if Lone makes a mistake, you can also bring it up, but now you have something to say but dare not speak out, which really disappoints Lone!"
After Zhu Xiongying's words were finished, a minister stood up.
"The minister Taichang Temple Qing Lu Wen impeached Zhao Mian, the head of the household department, since Zhao Mian was appointed as the head of the household department, he bent the law without authority, greedy for money and grain, in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the imperial court rebuilt the Taichang Temple, allocated 35,000 taels of silver, 30,000 taels of the household department, and 5,000 taels do not know the whereabouts."
"The minister later found out that the five thousand taels of silver were used by Zhao Mian for the construction of a private house, and when the report was checked, the five thousand taels of silver were still recorded in the accounts of Taichang Temple, and the minister asked His Highness to strictly investigate!"
When the words fell, His Highness's ministers all whispered.
But Liu Sanwu didn't say a word, looked at his son-in-law, and sighed softly.
At this time, Zhao Mian stood up and arched his hand: "The minister has something to say, since ancient times, the ministers of the household department have all been suspected, just because he controls the treasury with one hand and Taicang with the other. ”
"Moreover, under the wise leadership of His Royal Highness the Taisun, there has been an increase in all aspects such as the salt class last year, so it is inevitable to attract suspicion, and Weichen also implores His Highness to strictly investigate."
"Not only to check the silver of Taichang Temple, but also to check all the accounts of the household department in the past five years, Weichen believes that under strict investigation, we will be able to find out a clean and honest book!"
"If you don't check, it will bury Weichen's incorruptibility!"
Listening to Zhao Mian's words, Zhu Xiongying remained silent.
Zhao Mian can indeed speak, and he does not argue, but follows the words of the impeacher, and after a few words, he has established his character of not being afraid of investigation.
Zhu Xiongying was not in a hurry to express his position, but said: "Who else has something to say?" ”
At this moment, another minister stepped forward.
"Minister, Chen Tongzhou, the left deputy of the Imperial Procuratorate, impeached Zhao Mian, the secretary of the household department."
"According to the minister's investigation, Zhao Mian's family lives a luxurious life, and his wife is rich in clothes and food, and he loves jade jewelry, and has bought a large number of jade jewelry from the largest jewelry firm in Yingtianfu several times."
"If Zhao Mian is really as clean and honest as he said, how can he provide his wife with food, drink, and pleasure and buy jade jewelry with only that little money?"
As soon as these words came out, there was once again a lot of discussion in the temple.
Liu Sanwu still didn't say a word, but this time he closed his eyes, and the wife of Zhao Mian in the minister's mouth just now was his daughter.
Zhao Mian secretly took a breath to stabilize his mind.
He stood up again and said: "The minister does not deny that Humble Jing has been pampered since he was a child, and he does have extravagance, but all this money is passed down by Humble Jing Ancestor, and the money passed down by Hua Zu should not be illegal, right?" ”
Zhu Xiongying nodded and said, "Who else has something to say?" ”
This time, no one finally stepped forward.
"Okay, since you're all done, it's Lone's turn to speak."
Zhu Xiongying glanced at His Royal Highness's ministers, and slowly spoke: "I think you also know that the emperor hates corrupt officials the most in his life, and Lone is the same. ”
"To tell the truth, although your income is not high, but compared to ordinary people, I don't know how many times better, drought and flood to ensure income, status, face, and don't have to worry about hunger, but I know that some people are still not satisfied."
"The folk saying, get promoted and get rich, but I think that being an official shouldn't be for the sake of getting rich, and if you want to get rich, don't come to be an official, the law of the Ming Dynasty is strict, and none of the people who want to get rich when they are officials in my Ming Dynasty have a good end."
"So I advise you, if you want to get rich, quit the officialdom as soon as possible, otherwise ten heads will not be enough to cut off."
"This time, the matter of Zhao Mian, the head of the household department, will be carefully investigated, and a good official will not be wronged, nor will he let go of a corrupt official."
"If you have merit in the imperial court, Lone will not bury his merits, but if it is a moth in the court, Lone will definitely pull him out!"
Zhu Xiongying's sonorous and powerful words fell, and all the ministers bowed down one after another, shouting in unison:
"His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun is wise!"
"Alright, retreat!"
Zhu Xiongying was not in the mood to discuss other matters, and waved his hand to let the ministers retreat......
