The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 680 The Emperor's Heart Collapses

He actually impeached six ministers, and all the officials were trembling.

Since the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Ming Dynasty, I have never seen anyone collect so many memorials.

Or impeach Liububutang!

You are really good at farming!

Xiao Jing's palms were sweating, fearing that the anger of Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng would implicate him.

It felt like the eyes of all the officials were on him.

Lowering his head, he took Yan Chengjin's poem, turned around, ran back to the throne, and handed it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Yan Chengjin was unhurried: "Let's talk about Mr. Wei first. Mr. Wei knew that only one share of the national debt was allowed to be purchased, but he used someone else's name to buy six shares, and received a total of 180,000 taels of silver.

This is bullying! "

Wei Shen's pupils shrank, and he pretended to be calm and said in a deep voice: "Don't open your mouth to slander me!"

"Zhang Shishen and others are being held in the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Does Mr. Wei dare to confront me in court?"

Chai Sheng knew that it was probably true. Wei Shen had asked him about it when he was playing chess. Who would have thought that Wei Shen would buy so many.

Wei Shen was speechless, Zhang Shishen and others dared to betray him.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, said nothing, and flipped through the second magazine.

It was to impeach Ma Wensheng.

Yan Chengjin continued: "Ma Gong's son, Ma Jie, beat someone to death in Xicheng three years ago, and your Majesty ordered him to repent.

But not only did he not repent, he also took advantage of Ma Gong's power to bribe customs officials.

Tax evasion and tax evasion totaled thirteen thousand two hundred and thirty-one taels! "

Among the officials, some people sighed secretly. They had all heard about Ma Jie's forced buying and selling in the capital.

It's not that no one dared to file a complaint, it's that if he did, the news wouldn't reach the palace and would be intercepted.

Ma Wensheng's face turned pale: "I don't know how to teach my son!"

I knew that Ma Jie often caused trouble outside, but I didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble.

More than 10,000 taels of taxable silver, according to the law, is a serious crime punishable by exile!

Yan Chengjin secretly thought that Ma Wensheng was smart, and maybe he could be punished lightly.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, feeling a little heavier, and opened the third book of memorials.

It’s to impeach Chai Sheng!

"Master Chai from the Ministry of War concealed the rebellion in Si'en Prefecture and sent Pan Fan to lead an army of more than 100,000 people to put down the rebellion. There is no news yet!"

Chai Sheng trembled all over, and the chaotic memorial was sent back to the capital for a day.

Is the Guangxi Censor’s memorial also here?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and looked at Chai Sheng, and said angrily: "Why didn't the Ministry of War report it!"

"Reporting to your majesty, sending troops was not a military order from my subordinates. It was the vassal who marched without authorization and concealed the truth from the imperial court.

The Ministry of War has too many missives. I only saw the missuses about the southwest mobilization today. "Chai Sheng has troubles that he can't tell, and he was tricked by Pan Fan!

When the feudal lord was guarding the southwest, a rebellion broke out among the chieftains, and he could not escape the blame.

I think he wanted to secretly quell the rebellion.

"How does Yan Qing's family know?"

"Businessmen have better information than the imperial court. The business of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce is spread all over the world. It was the merchants who told me." Yan Chengjin said.

Once there is a war, there is an opportunity to make war profits and sell medicinal materials and other items.

The vassal vassal led more than 18,000 official and Turkish troops in Guangdong, Guangxi and Huguang, and Mao Rui, the general officer, to conquer Enshi Prefecture.

"In Guangxi Sien Mansion, it was not the people who rebelled, but the prefect Qin Jun who took the lead in the rebellion," Yan Chengjin said.

All the officials were in an uproar.

Chai Sheng looked at Yan Chengjin, yes! Si'en Mansion is where the local natives live, and is also known as Si'en Military and Civilian Mansion.

The outcome is unknown. If we count it in terms of time, the Ministry of War's urgent report was written two months ago.

All the officials were whispering.

"If what I said is true, concealing the military report and mobilizing the garrison soldiers privately is a serious crime."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, took a long breath, and turned to the next memorial in displeasure.

It belongs to Mr. Liu.

Yan Chengjin said: "Zhang Jinmin, the governor of Baoding, received fake official land donations from various officials, totaling 1,820 acres!

This person also has the most heinous crime!

The good official grain was deliberately mixed with water to cause the official grain to rot and deteriorate, and the state treasury would not collect it. Therefore, it could be sold to the people and earn money.

A total of 370,000 shi of official grain was sold! "

The officials were so shocked that they suddenly lost their voices.

The bullet in Emperor Hongzhi's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing this, Yan Chengjin quickly comforted him: "This person has been imprisoned by my ministers. Your Majesty does not need to worry, no one will mess with him again."

The more seamless the system, the more sophisticated criminal methods will be inspired.

This is the reality. The higher the Tao is, the higher the devil is. This is the truth.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and then let out a long breath. Repeatedly, his chest rose and fell violently.

Xiao Jing knew that His Majesty was extremely angry.

Yan Chengjin said: "And this person was appointed by Liu Gongpiao.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate checked his records and found that he was from Luoyang. I dare not assert that Liu Gong had personal interests in employing people. "

He just wanted to impeach Liu Jian for his hiring mistakes. In this case, the people he nominated would not be able to join the cabinet.

Xie Qian trembled in his heart. Liu Gong prefers to recommend people from his hometown, and often gets into trouble. Your Majesty knows that.

Something happened again!

The officials were convinced that Liu Gong preferred to recommend people from his hometown, which was known to the whole court.

In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, there were officials who impeached Liu Gong for their nepotism and blocked the way of speech.

Liu Jian said in a deep voice: "Do you dare to check the details of the cabinet vote?"

"It was Liu Lai who told the official that Zhang Jinmin had been to Liu Gong's house and wanted to join Liu Gong's family."

Liu Jian's pupils dilated, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be my son.

He felt that another handful of salt had been sprinkled on the heart that had been cracked just now.

Li Dongyang looked at Yan Chengjin and bowed hurriedly, saying, "It is inevitable to employ people inappropriately. I have also failed to supervise. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Yan Chengjin also bowed and said, "Please forgive Mr. Liu's crime!"

All the officials spat inwardly. You just impeached someone and then asked for mercy. You should have some shame.

Liu Jian said in a deep voice, "I don't need to ask for mercy. Since I made a mistake in employing people, I accept the blame!"

Emperor Hongzhi was furious. He was angry and afraid. He didn't even dare to open the fifth memorial.

But after hesitating for a moment, he decisively opened it.

Yan Chengjin knew it was written by Han Wen, and said, "The taxation of the grassland in Bazhou is not in accordance with the rules. All slaughters are paid by official silver. The excessive request for jewelry should be prohibited. Lord Han is in charge of taxes and is responsible for lazy governance."

All the officials calmed down a little and looked at Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin continued: "Official Zou Yue accepted bribes from the gentry Yang Guicai and others, privately exempted them from horse grass, and then transferred it to the people who had already handed in the horse grass."

Han Wen's mouth twitched suddenly, and he bowed hurriedly: "I know my crime."

This kid must have evidence of guilt in his hand, so he would speak out to impeach.

This crime is much lighter than Liu Gong and others.

The officials were terrified. This kid was so psychic that every crime was a serious crime.

Zhang Sheng could feel his buttocks trembling, as well as his and Zeng Jian's.

He could restrain himself, but he couldn't control the people below!

Emperor Hongzhi closed the fifth memorial heavily, and there were still the sixth and seventh ones, but he didn't dare to turn them over again.

"Speak frankly, Mr. Yan, how many things are there that I haven't noticed?"

Although Han Wen and Zhang Sheng and others are honest.

But if they fail to govern well, they will also take the blame and step down, just like in later generations.

This is why Yan Chengjin dared to impeach: "The sacrifices and offerings undertaken by Lord Zhang and the Guanglu Temple exceeded the expenses set by Your Majesty.

Lord Zeng's memorial was the lightest, it was about the construction of water conservancy in the south, and the accounts of income and expenditure were not equal."

Zhang Sheng was delighted and hurriedly said: "I know my crime!"

Zeng Jian also bowed: "I also know my crime!"

Good morning everyone~~, please vote, thank you everyone.
