At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Those who cursed each other were worse than the other, pointing at the nose and insulting each other's personality, from the greetings at birth to now, they are very caring about each other's married life, including childbearing.

Then something goes wrong.

There was a lot of arguing, and some people couldn't hold back their unicorn arms, and when their brains got hot, they hit them with their hands.

Chapter 1002 One thousand and twelve

The first blow in this official brawl was nothing more than a simple straight punch.

An official from the Ministry of Industry punched a Shangshuling official into a state-protected animal.

Then the situation got out of hand.

Everyone was on fire in their hearts, and they were waiting to erupt. After this punch, they erupted.

On April 21st of the fourth year of Yande, a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry and a group of ministers ordered officials to fight because of some small quarrels.

Starting from a punch, the two sides then twisted together. You hit me with your eyes and I beat your nose. If you buckle my nostrils, I take your mouth.

The root cause is that it is said that the Minister ordered the officials to speak rudely, mocking the officials of the Ministry of Industry and Minister Tian Feng of the Ministry of Industry, and the choice of words and sentences was not stable.

Shang Shuling's subordinate officials are not soft persimmons. How can they bear it when they see their colleagues being beaten?So he fought back immediately, rushing forward was an old punch, so the two sides began to fight chaotically.

In the brawl of dozens of people, six people were beaten with nosebleeds, seven people lost their teeth, and thirteen people were beaten into national protected animals. The scene was extremely chaotic and the impact was very bad.

Cui Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was very annoyed when he learned about it, and immediately appealed to Guo Peng, requesting that the officials involved in the fight be severely punished.

Those to be severely punished include ten officials under Shang Shuling and two officials from the Ministry of Industry, and they are required to be dismissed and investigated.

There is no obvious pull-off frame.

But Cui Yan has the duty to supervise the appearance of all officials, and he can impeach anyone who doesn't like it.

Then he thought that this kind of incident was provoked by the officials of the Shangshuling. The officials of the Shangshuling scolded people first. Only the two officials of the Ministry of Industry who beat people hard were not authentic and did not bear the main responsibility, so they made such a punishment.

Moreover, Cui Yan also believed that Shang Shuling Cheng Yu did not supervise his subordinates properly and connived at his subordinates to set off quarrels and fights, so he went up to impeach Cheng Yu and made Cheng Yu jointly and severally responsible.

He felt that Cheng Yu should seriously admit his mistakes, reflect on himself, and reflect on whether he should still be this [Heavenly Official].

When Cheng Yu heard the words, he immediately went to Guo Peng to excuse himself, and then said that Cui Yan was biased, unfair, and selfish. He asked Cui Yan to be dismissed from Luoyang and not to be an official.

The censor Zhongcheng Qiaorui made a statement to excuse Tian Feng, accusing Cheng Yu of being bullying and lawless. If things go on like this, he doesn't know whether Shang Shutai listens to the emperor or Cheng Yu.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Cao Cao, excused Cheng Yu, accusing Tian Feng and his subordinates of committing crimes, being daring, and targeting Cheng Yu all the time.

The boss made a move, and the younger brothers under his command went up to scold each other one after another. The scene was very similar to the scolding scene between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party.

The situation was detonated.

To put it simply, the entire northwest of Shanxi has become a mess.

All the people involved blamed each other, insulted each other, and said that the other party had bad intentions, and they almost took each other's officials to the other party's official office for a real PK ring.

Many Shangshutai officials who were involved did not even handle official business in order to express their tendency to stand in line, and all participated in the scolding war.

There were also a few people who rushed to the door of the other party's official office to provoke, blocking the door and cursing.

Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance were not the main force, but they were also involved, and participated in the scolding war from the standpoint of being close to Cheng Yu.

They competed with each other for submissions, and one after another filled Guo's case.

It's okay to say that it's just scolding, but the problem is that they don't even handle official business in order to argue about who is right and who is wrong.

A certain person from Guo asked them to complete several tasks related to the eradication of locusts along the Yellow River and the construction of water conservancy projects along the Yellow River.

After a few days, the accumulation of things accumulated into a hill.

Someone realizes that the situation is not good and cannot continue, and advocates that everyone should calm down and handle affairs for the time being, and finish the tasks at hand first, and quarrel can be quarreled at any time.

If you don't want to anger the emperor and be punished by the emperor, you still have to get things done first, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

In the end, the person who quarreled and quarreled over his head made him shut himself up.

Some people were so anxious that they rushed back to the government office in groups to try to deal with the accumulated government affairs, but they were stopped by their colleagues who had quarreled with each other, and they were dragged directly to the front line.

The situation got out of control.

At this juncture, whether Cheng Yu or Tian Feng, they suddenly realized that no one could control the situation.

It was as if the conflicts that had been accumulated for a long time were detonated in an instant. Cheng Yu and Tian Feng could start such a situation, but they couldn't control it.

Seeing this, the staff desk directly closed the door to thank the guests.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War immediately closed their doors to thank the guests, and the officials hid in the official offices and did not come out.

The Ministry of Punishment had closed the door long ago, and Guo Yi restrained his subordinates from going out.

This incident caused an uproar in Miyagi.

Originally, it was just a quarrel between everyone, and they could still maintain their dignity.

As a result, the officials of several ministries actually got started directly, abusing and fighting each other like street thugs, without the appearance of imperial officials, which made the official group lose face.

Guo Hongda, the official censor, was very annoyed, and directly impeached Cheng Yu, Cui Yan, Tian Feng and related officials.

Guo Hong said that they were not worthy of being officials. They actually got into fights and bloodshed in Miyagi.

But such an expansion still can't solve the problem of officials' collective line-up.

Because he was too annoyed, Guo Hong directly led a group of Yushitai officials to stop the fight and impeached many officials on the spot, but he succeeded in attracting the hatred of both sides.

Yushitai's duty is to impeach officials. Yushitai has always relied on Guo Hong and Qiao Rui's identities to impeach Shangshutai officials, and has a very bad reputation among Shangshutai officials.

Many Shangshutai officials hated Yushitai officials and took this opportunity to take revenge.

Revenge for revenge, revenge for injustice.

A pile of bamboo slips and writing brushes were thrown towards the officials at Yushitai like a rain of arrows.

In the eyes of the officials at Yushitai, there is a sense of seeing Jet Li facing the rain of arrows from the Qin army.

The terrible [Arrow Rain] smashed the people in Yushitai into a mess.

They fled in embarrassment, like defeated soldiers on the battlefield.

The officials of Shangshutai were united for a short time and pursued the victory.

Because the attack was so violent and intensive that the 69-year-old Guo Hong was successfully injured—his forehead was smashed and bleeding.

This incident finally [alarmed] someone Guo.

The emperor Guo, who had never made a positive statement on this political struggle, finally expressed his opinion on this matter when he heard that Guo Hong had been smashed and his forehead was hanged.

Two words can describe it.

Furious.

Thunder was furious.

It is said that after learning about this incident, someone Guo smashed three desks and shattered seven cups in the Hall of Qinzheng.

"What do they think they are? Street rogues? Fighting over a little quarrel, Gu's face is completely lost to them! Asshole! Absolutely asshole!"

"What are they going to do? Treat the palace as a battlefield?!"

"When Gu Zao led thousands of troops and bloody battles on the battlefield, why didn't they have such courage?"

"Doctor Guo is already 69! 69! How can they do it! How can they do it! Absurd! You bastard! They are all bastards!"

Guo Peng was very angry and cursed continuously.

Then he called the main responsible officials to Qinzheng Hall and lashed out at them, scolding them bloody.

Then he made his own decision.

Pretty serious decision.

Chapter 1003 One Thousand and Thirteen Emperors Are Wrathful, Terrifying So Far

This time, it was different from last time.

This time it was a real hit.

Under [furious anger], someone Guo carried out a dimension reduction attack on Shangshutai as a matter of course.

He seized Cheng Yu's position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, fined his salary for two years, demoted two ranks to first-class uncle, seized [-] households in Shiyi, and only retained the position of Minister of Ministers to imitate others.

Seized Shangshu Pushe and Minister of Industry Tian Fenglu for two years, demoted two ranks to third-class uncle, and seized [-] households in Shiyi to make an example.

Seize the salary of Cao Cao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, for three months, and seize [-] households in Shiyi as a punishment.

Seize the salary of Chengqiao Rui in Yushi Zhongcheng for three months, and seize [-] households in Shiyi as a punishment.

Take Wang Can's salary from Minister of Finance for one month as a warning.

Seize the salary of the Minister of Civil Affairs, date only one month, as a warning.

Seize Cui Yan's position as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, seize the title, seize the city of food, seize the [-] mu of land bestowed by the emperor, seize the blessing, depose him as a commoner, and drive him out of the capital to return to his hometown to farm.

Cui Yan himself will not be hired for life, and Cui Yan's descendants will not be allowed to be officials for three generations. All the political power of the Cui family will be eradicated together, and he will be let out of Luoyang naked.

The 23 Ministry of Industry officials who participated in the fight at the beginning and the Shang Shu ordered all 20 subordinate officials to be dismissed.

Yiying and others were all abolished as ordinary people, expelled from the capital, and their original household registration was abolished. They moved to Dunhuang County, Liangzhou, and were incorporated into the Tuntian civilian registration.

All 260 Shangshutai officials who participated in the siege of Yushitai officials were dismissed from their posts, and 47 of them were deposed as common people when the circumstances were serious.

More than 300 officials were fined in one breath.

As soon as this judgment came out and was announced to Shangshutai, it immediately caused a collective shock in the entire bureaucratic group.

The reason is also very simple, this time the penalty is too heavy.

Compared with the last time when he raised it high and lowered it gently, this time, the emperor didn't even raise it, and just kicked everyone flying.

This time, like the last one, is also a political struggle, but the penalty this time is much more terrifying than the last time.

More than 300 officials were implicated, the best was demoted, the worst was the group of people who fought, one counted as one and all were kicked out of the capital, and they were not allowed to be officials for three generations.

No high-ranking official was sacked before, and everyone was punished a little, but this time the content of the punishment was quite terrifying.

It is considered light to descend to a noble and seize a city.

Cheng Yu, the boss of Shangshutai, directly lost the concurrent management of the Ministry of Officials, and was abolished from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and only retained the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The worst thing was Cui Yan, who was directly deposed as a commoner and kicked out of the capital. All he once owned was lost, and he was not allowed to be an official for the rest of his life, and his political career was directly reduced to zero.

This is not counted, and it will be a disaster for future generations.

Three generations of descendants are not allowed to be officials, and the political power accumulated by several generations is directly reduced to zero.

The emperor's reason was that Cui Yan was unfair and selfish, and under the premise that both sides were wrong, he actually focused on punishing one side, which was obviously favoring the other side, and he was not worthy of being an official at all.

This behavior annoyed the emperor, so the emperor beat Cui Yan to death with a stick.

Those officials who were beaten to death with Cui Yan were also killed.

Because of the quarrel, he lost his appearance and the attitude of an official. He fought at the feet of the emperor, bleed, and did not deal with official duties. He put personal grievances ahead of official duties.

These people were also beaten to death with a stick, and they also hit the roots of their descendants——

Not only did he not have an official job, but he was registered as a citizen, and he also lost his original household registration, and was exiled to Dunhuang County, Liangzhou. He was not allowed to be an official for three generations.

The same treatment as those who violated Guo Peng's taboo before, even worse.

Those people went to Jincheng County, and these people will be sent to more distant Dunhuang County and Xuantu County.

Because of the harsh punishment measures, the entire bureaucratic group of Shangshutai fell into a short-term downtime.

During this period, three officials asked Guo Peng whether the punishment was too strict, and hoped that some punishment measures could be reduced.

It's just officials scolding and fighting, which is at most a matter of personal quality, not a political issue or corruption issue. Why is it punished in such a severe way?

If even such a problem has to be punished in such a severe way, wouldn't the political and corruption problems in the future mean blood flow into rivers and mountains of corpses?

They believe that most people are innocent, and it is really undeserved to be imprisoned.
