Rise From the Humble

How powerful can an impeachment memorial from a small sixth-grade official be? The impeachment target of this memorial is also backed by the chief minister of the cabinet.

That must be a small thing shaking a big tree, which is ridiculous and overestimating. In people's opinion, it is impossible to succeed at all. People are waiting to see this Xiao Liupin's joke.

However, the facts left people stunned.

within one day

One of the third rank, one of the fifth rank, and two of the sixth rank were demoted to the rank of civilians, and were taken to the Meridian Gate and beaten with imperial sticks; one of the seventh rank was demoted to the rank of the civilians, and the army was in a smog; and the third of the fifth rank was detained in accordance with the law. Deprived of life, beheaded and executed later in the year.

All in all, one was a third-rank official, two were a fifth-rank official, two were a sixth-rank official, and one was a seventh-rank official. A total of six officials fell at the feet of this little sixth-rank official.

and

It's just because of a memorial from this sixth-grade official.

This kind of efficiency put the officials in the Ming Dynasty to shame, including the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section. For them, their achievements as officials throughout their lifetimes could not compare to a memorial from this little six-rank official. Results.

Luo Jingbin and Hu Ke, both from the Experience Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, were at home having wine with their two cousins ​​Zhang Hujiang, so they couldn't help but discuss the matter.

"This rat that gnawed at the foundation of the imperial court was caught by a puppy. Doesn't it make us cats so useless?" Luo Binbin had a glass of wine with his cousin Zhang Hujiang and drank leisurely. said.

"It's not enough if it's just one. The key is that this is a nest of six big rats, including a rat spirit..." Zhang Hujiang said with emotion. When he first heard the news, he was filled with excitement. Confused.

Luo Binbin pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "It's really shameful. How many cats can't catch so many big mice in their lifetime, let alone the mice. We should work hard, otherwise we will be too useless."

"Yes." Zhang Hujiang nodded, and then looked at Luo Binbin.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it... We've stared at that rat hole for long enough." Luo Binbin narrowed his eyes.

So, while chatting and drinking, the two cousins ​​drafted a memorial with impassioned words, like a beautiful article, and then neatly signed their names. Without any delay, he sent someone directly to send him out.

It is said that today the General Administration Bureau received several times more impeachment memorials than usual, leaving officials in the General Administration Bureau confused. They don’t understand why these officials are so crazy and piled up for impeachment...

Today, there is also a private party at the residence of Yan Maoqing, the deputy censor of Zuodu. There are not many people. Several of the people present are friends of Yan Maoqing, including Wang Xueyi, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Zhang Guangzheng, the censor of the right capital, and Zhao Wenhua, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. .

It can be said that the people present at this table are all deputy ministers. Of course, they have one thing in common, that is, they are both strict party members.

The table was filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as wine and jade liquor. Yan Maoqing and others on the table were drinking and chatting about today's events.

In Zhao Daying's case, they knew more about the inside story.

"If Zhao Daying's case hadn't alarmed the Holy One, Zhao Qiu and the others wouldn't have been like this." Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Punishment, poured a glass of wine for everyone present and said with regret.

Wang Xueyi sat in the lower position. In fact, his official position was not much different from that of Yan Maoqing and others. He was even one level higher than Zhang Guangzheng, the censor of Youqiandu. However, in terms of seniority in the Yan Party, Wang Xueyi was inferior. Far.

Needless to say, Zhao Wenhua is the godson of Yan Song. He recognized Yan Song, who was a priest at the time, as his adoptive father when he was studying Chinese. This has been ten or twenty years. It goes without saying that Yan Maoqing also agreed when he became an official. Yan Song and Yan Shifan have been father and son for more than ten years; Zhang Guangzheng is also a veteran of the Yan Party, but due to his limited ability, his official promotion is slower than that of Yan Maoqing, Zhao Wenhua and others.

Wang Xueyi only integrated into the strict party circle in the past few years, and his seniority in the strict party is much junior.

However, in the strict party, seniority is very important. With seniority, promotion will be a matter of time, so Wang Xueyi was ranked last.

"Zhao Daying deserved it. He dared to kill a good man and deceive Master Yan. Master Yan asked the Holy One for his sins. Fortunately, the Holy One was aware of the situation and not only did not blame the Prime Minister, but praised the Prime Minister for his responsible spirit." Zhang Guangzheng shook his head and chuckled, showing a bit of schadenfreude at what happened to Zhao Daying's uncle, nephew and others.

Zhao Wenhua glanced at Zhang Guangzheng slightly and said nothing. Zhang Guangzheng's attitude was actually not difficult to investigate. The Yan Party was not monolithic and there were factional disputes.

Not only did Zhang Guangzheng and Zhao Qiu belong to two different factions, but they also competed for the position of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of War. Zhang Guangzheng did not compete with Zhao Qiu at that time.

Therefore, Zhang Guangzheng was so gloating when he saw Zhao Qiu being demoted to serve as a civilian. I asked you to fight with me back then, okay now, I didn't fight with you back then, but now, I am still the censor of the capital of Youqian, and you have been beaten to the end, and you can't even become an official. When Yan Maoqing takes charge of the salt administration in Zhejiang, Lianghuai, Changlu and Hedong, the position of deputy censor of Zuodu will be mine. The one who laughs last is the winner.

"It's not like we can figure out the Holy Will." Yan Maoqing picked up the tea cup, gently scratched it twice, and said lightly.

"Of course, although Zhao Daying deserves it, he, Zhu Ping'an, is too rampant. He knows that Zhao Daying was rewarded by Yan Ge Lao, but he still does this." The words and deeds are so brooding, and I still feel itchy when I think of the scene where I was crushed by Zhu Pingan's hands many times when I confessed my love.

"Haha, young people succeed in their ambitions. This is all the fault. But we still have a long way to go in life." Yan Maoqing took a sip of tea and smiled disdainfully.

"There is still a long way to go in life, young people should not be too arrogant," Zhang Guangzheng added after Yan Maoqing's words.

hehe

Hearing this, Yan Maoqing and Zhang Guangzheng looked at each other and smiled, feeling like heroes had similar views.

"Haha, Mr. Yan and Mr. Zhang have good views. Zhongyong has suffered too many injuries in history, and Zhu Ping'an is not the least of them." Wang Xueyi said with a smile, as if he had foreseen Zhu Ping'an's unlucky fate.

Zhao Wenhua looked at the people at the table, nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, hiding a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

How can someone who can pull down Uncle Zhao Qiu and his nephews and his gang in front of you all be so arrogant?

If Zhu Ping'an was an idiot like Shang Zhongyong, why would I have caught someone else's son-in-law?

How can a young man who was able to pass the civil service examination at the age of thirteen and take the first prize at the age of fourteen be easy to get along with if he could write such a policy to deal with Japanese invaders?

The last person to win the exam at the age of thirteen was the powerful Yang Shoufu.
