The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Early the next morning, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was on duty.

As soon as Yan Chengjin came to check the room, Dai Shan was worried: "Chengjin, what have you done recently to trigger a joint impeachment?"

"Who wrote it?"

In joint impeachment, there is usually a person who is proficient in impeachment writing and others signing, just like a professor publishing a paper, the first author, the second author...

In addition to the cabinet, he ranks first on the imperial court's list of impeachment internal forces.

The second is Fang Xue.

Only Fang Xue has a chance of impeaching him.

This is a heads-up situation.

Group fights were different, the number of people was enough to attract the attention of Emperor Hongzhi.

Many civil servants may think that the result of impeachment is just a slap in the face and is not painful.

Actually no, the consequences can be big or small!

It can be as minor as just being punished, without going to jail or losing a piece of flesh.

Otherwise, he will be alienated by His Majesty, no longer be reused, and may even be arranged to retire in Nanjing in a few years.

This is like a top-rated hot commodity, but scandals suddenly broke out and it went cold.

That's why Dai Shan takes it so seriously.

Dai Shan let out a long sigh: "It's Li Mengyang. Although this person's impeachment memorial is not very good, he is extremely stubborn.

Do you know about his impeachment of the Zhang brothers? "

In the sixth year of Hongzhi, Li Mengyang impeached the two Shouning Hou brothers. He was not afraid of the power and directly submitted a letter.

The Zhang brothers all hid when they saw him.

"Does the Metropolitan Procuratorate have Li Mengyang's files?" Yan Chengjin asked.

"You want?"

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the responsibility of supervising all officials. Naturally, the lower officials have to check whether these people have violated the prohibitions."

Yan Chengjin knew Li Mengyang quite well, and he was a verbal gentleman.

During the Zhengde period, he was framed by Liu Jin, and Kang Hai interceded for him and rescued him.

Not long after, Kang Hai was framed and imprisoned. Instead of saving him, he framed him together.

Those who stab you in the back are the most hateful.

"My lord, I am lowering the rank of officer Zheng Qian. I am at your disposal."

Fang Xue went to Yansui to supervise the construction of the Great Wall.

Yan Chengjin selected a capable censor from among his subordinate officials.

Zheng Qian was a little frightened, hearing that this adult had extremely high demands.

"Go and help me and find all Li Mengyang's associates." Yan Chengjin ordered.

After a while, Zheng Qian brought in all the cases he could find.

There were fifteen volumes, and Yan Chengjin opened them quietly and read them for a long time.

I have heard long ago that Mr. Yan is very good at impeachment.

"Sir, I have something to ask you. Do I need to read so many files before impeachment?" Zheng Qian asked humbly.

Yan Chengjin nodded. Zheng Qianji knew how to serve. When Yan Chengjin wanted to read the next book, he would wipe the dust off first and then hand it to him.

Wait until he finishes reading.

Dai Shan came over and asked, "How do you like it?"

"I can't find any flaws. This person is too perfect." Yan Chengjin said solemnly.

Dai Shan shook her head, how could she impeach him?

Could it be that the Metropolitan Procuratorate's undefeated impeachment record is about to be broken.

"It's not that there is no way. If there is no move, there is a move. There is a sword in the hand, but there is no sword in the heart. There is no flaw, which is the biggest flaw."

Dai Shan and Zheng Qian looked at each other with big eyes. What did he say?

"My subordinate is about to write a memorial for impeachment."

Yan Chengjin ordered that while he was writing the memorial, Zheng Qian was polishing his ink.

After writing it, he was asked to send it to the Huagai Hall.

After reading Li Mengyang's memorial, Emperor Hongzhi asked Mou Bin: "How much money does Yan Chengjin have?"

"Countless." Mou Bin said.

Can't count how many?

Emperor Hongzhi's heart moved slightly. The Jin Yiwei stared at the Yan Mansion day and night, not knowing how much money there was.

"Li Mengyang requested the imperial court to conduct a thorough investigation of Yan Chengjin's treasury. There is no tax supervisor in Liangxiang. This tax bank has always been controlled by Yan Chengjin."

Mou Bin shook his head: "As far as I know, the tax collection in Liangxiang has always been supervised by the yamen's household, and Yan Chengjin rarely interferes."

"You said Li Mengyang made a false accusation?"

"At least there is no real evidence."

Mou Bin knew in his heart that Li Mengyang had been favored by Wu Kuan.

This impeachment was triggered by the rift between Wu Kuan and Yan Chengjin.

Several officials who signed the contract also have some relationship with Wu Kuan.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little angry after reading the memorial, and he counted Yan Chengjin's crimes, a total of twelve.

Wutiao is related to the prince.

What he said makes sense.

"Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the Metropolitan Procuratorate." the eunuch, the gate supervisor, reported.

The impeachment notices issued by the Metropolitan Procuratorate do not need to be voted on by the cabinet. They can go directly to the imperial court and have priority.

Emperor Hongzhi opened it and looked at it, but his expression did not change much.

Mou Bin activated his eyes and looked at Shuzuo. Yan Chengjin impeached him again.

The person who impeached was none other than Li Mengyang, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Pass my message and order Yan Chengjin to come see me."

Not long after, Yan Chengjin appeared in the Huagai Hall.

Emperor Hongzhi rarely summoned ministers here, and this hall contained many of his collections of treasures.

The stove burning incense next to it is the famous Xuande stove.

The calligraphy and painting on the wall is "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" written by everyone in the Song Dynasty.

Even this inkstone has a great origin.

"You recommend Li Mengyang to go to Hainan?"

"Exactly." Yan Chengjin said: "I am not acting on impulse. When I was in the court, because the impeachment memorial was written truthfully, few officials dared to impeach.

But Li Mengyang was not afraid. He listed the general's crimes, which shows that he is an extremely decent person.

Hainan is in short supply of such parent officials. "

Although it sounds, it feels weird.

But Emperor Hongzhi felt that it made some sense.

If an honest official like Li Mengyang is sent to Hainan, he will surely be able to keep the area safe.

Wumen Square.

Several officials wearing white pheasant red robes walked out leisurely.

Li Mengyang smiled and said, "If your majesty thoroughly investigates Yan Chengjin's treasury, I will submit another memorial at that time."

"Thank you, brother Mengyang, let's go to see Mr. Wu together?"

Several officials from the Ministry of Personnel suggested.

At this moment, Xiao Jing hurried over: "It's good that Lord Li is here, so we don't have to leave the palace. Your Majesty's imperial decree!"

Li Mengyang was a little happy and knelt down to receive the decree.

"The Emperor of Heaven and Mandate of Heaven, the decree says that the saints are prosperous, and all the wise and virtuous are used. Li Qing's official family is as clean as water... I specially order you to go to Hainan to take up the post as the magistrate of Danzhou Prefecture in Hainan."

Go to Hainan to take up the post?

I was exiled...

Li Mengyang suddenly felt dizzy in his mind, staggered a few times, and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he was kneeling, and he didn't fall down because he had his hands on the ground.

Xiao Jing sighed and shouted several times: "Lord Li, please accept the decree."

Li Mengyang trembled and took the imperial edict and asked: "Your Majesty, can you tell me how long it will take to return to Beijing after taking up the post?"

Xiao Jing's face changed, and he kindly advised: "How could Your Majesty say such a thing? Lord Li, be careful with your words in the future!"

Li Mengyang was a little panicked: "Could it be... Yan Chengjin?"

"Lord Li, pack your bags and go to Hainan to take up the post. The post stations along the way are all free. When you arrive in Guangzhou, take a boat across the sea." Xiao Jing said.

Li Mengyang collapsed. There was no boat?

"I have been honest all my life, and I don't even have any handle. How did Yan Chengjin exile me? Can you let me understand where I failed?"

Xiao Jing stretched out his orchid finger: "You, you failed because you are too honest."

Li Mengyang felt that it would be better if he didn't ask. This question made him even more confused.

Yan's house,

There was a man standing outside the house, most likely stopped by a codeword.

Yan Chengjin walked over and asked, "You want to see me?"

"My father is very ill. I heard from Liu the imperial physician that you know the whereabouts of Dr. Wang? If you can treat my father, I... I am willing to die for you." Wu Huan pleaded.

The disease came like a mountain.

Wu Kuan still has one year to live. How could it be a minor illness? When he encountered such a disease.

Liu Wentai usually would have no way to deal with it.

Yan Chengjin took out a piece of paper from the sedan chair and wrote down the address and introduction.

"Show him this handwritten letter and say that I summoned him to Beijing."

"Thank you, sir!"

I'm afraid Wang Ji is also beyond help. I don't know if he can be saved.

Your Majesty, it's time to consider the candidate for the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
