Chapter 1 The tide of impeachment is unprecedented and unprecedented
Chapter 1 Impeachment is like a "tide", unprecedented and unprecedented
In the courtroom, Yue Su held up Shang Fang's sword and rewarded Zhu Gongju with forty strokes. Zhu Gongju and his son did not dare to even let go of their words. They allowed the servants to step forward, push Zhu Gongju down and beat him forty strokes.
People praised Yue Su all the time, regardless of the fame he claimed he had copied, but in the hearts of the people, even if Yue Su didn't know a word, he would still be the best in the world. As the saying goes, being an official does not make decisions for the people, no matter how knowledgeable he is, it is useless.
.
After Zhu Gongxu was sentenced, Yue Su also ordered that Zou Jiaren's entire family be executed. He asked the king of Zhou to take his son away, send everyone away, and retreat on his own.
After retreating to the back office, he asked the sky and the man in black. The body of the man in black was of no use. Yue Su did not want to pursue the identity of the man in black. Although he knew the identity of the man in black, he could only
Take it one step at a time.
Later, he ordered all the prisoners of the Zhanlong Gang in the prison to be beheaded together with the entire Zou family. On this day, the city of Kaifeng was very lively. At three quarters in the afternoon at Caishikou, people started beheading their heads. In one breath,
Hundreds of people were beheaded. The prestige of "Yue Su's shaved head" also became stronger, but officials in Kaifeng City all said behind their backs that Yue Su was like a rabbit with a tail that couldn't grow.
After the people were chopped down, the next step was to bury them. The burial place was naturally a mass grave on the outskirts of the city. The guards carried the corpses away, but among the many corpses, there was one that stood out, that was Mi Jun's corpse. Of course
, Yue Su still built a grave. This grave was used to bury Han Lian. After all, Zimei had made great contributions. As a reward, Yue Su should do the same. He also specially asked his husband to help with the Feng Shui. This matter,
I won’t list them all in detail.
Mi Jun died in the secret passage of the Niangniang Temple. Yue Su took his body to Kaifeng. Seeing that nothing could be found, the body gradually rotted and was being used, so he ordered others to take it away and bury it.
There were two officers who were responsible for burying the rice. Ordinary prisoners would not have anything valuable on them. That is to say, Yue Su took special care of her and only searched for anything valuable. None of the jewelry on her body was found.
When taking and taking care of the corpse, the guards did not dare to act rashly. Who knows if the adult will have a sudden impulse and go to take a look at it. If he is discovered, he will be in trouble.
Therefore, those jewelry are still on Mi Jun's body. The two boys, after carrying the person to the place, took off some hairpins, earrings, and rings when others were not paying attention. Then, they planned to
They looked to see if there was a necklace on his neck. As a result, they only found an amulet on Mr. Caimi's neck. The amulet was very delicate, but no matter how exquisite it was, it was not gold or silver. The officer didn't want this thing, so he gave it to him casually.
Stuffed it back.
If Zimei sees this amulet, she will definitely be shocked, because this amulet is exactly the same as the one Hanlian gave her. It's just that the strange mark on it is slightly different, but if you don't look carefully, you can't knock it out at all.
.
However, as Mi Jun's body was buried, everything has returned to the earth.

A few days later, on a dark night, a group of men in black robes came to the outside of Beijing on flying horses. When the soldiers guarding the city saw the visitor, they asked loudly. The visitor took out his badge, and as soon as he revealed his identity, the city gate opened wide.
The man in black robe quickly entered the city and went straight to a large house. This house was the residence of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of Dongchang. The leading man in black robe knocked on the door. When he saw him at the door, he greeted him enthusiastically.
This is extremely rare. From this, we can also see the status of this person.
Yes, this person was Tian Ergen. When Yue Su killed Zou Jiaren and everything became clear, Tian Ergen immediately rushed back to Beijing to report the news so that Eunuch Wei could make arrangements in advance.
Eunuch Wei was still a relatively hard-working man. If the emperor did not approve the memorials, he would always do it for him. Eunuch Wei would do it himself, and he would be busy most of the night. It was so late, Eunuch Wei had not gone to bed yet, and was still reviewing the memorials in the study. Tian
Ergen came outside the study and knocked gently on the door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Wei Zhongxian asked: "Who is it?"
"The foster father is a child."
Seeing that it was Tian Ergen's voice, Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "My son, come in quickly."
Tian Ergeng opened the door, walked into the study, closed the door behind him, and then bowed and saluted, "My son, meet your adoptive father."
"There are no outsiders here, so we can avoid it if we can. When my son returns at night, do you understand what happened there?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
"We already know that Yue Su beat Zou Jiaren, and even admitted in court that he cheated in the provincial examination and gained his fame. Now his confession, as well as the confessions of Zhou Wang, Wang Linhe, and Zhaozhou, are all on the road.
You can enter Beijing in a day or two." Tian Ergeng said truthfully.
Wei Zhongxian put the pen on the pen holder, leaned back on the chair, and pondered for a while. He said: "Our opportunity has finally come, and we are right in front of us to overthrow Yue Su. But... I always feel that something is wrong."
"Father, now even Yue Su admits it, what else is wrong?" Tian Ergen asked in confusion.
"He has admitted it, and the key decision maker is the Emperor. Even I can't tell what the Emperor will do to him. Wang Zhicai, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, has already asked himself to serve. I have petitioned the Emperor twice to promote Pan, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
Song was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. But the Emperor didn't reply. He only said that there was no rush and he would wait. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he wanted to leave the position to Yue Su. The Emperor was looking towards Yue Su like this, even if he was really involved in this matter.
, I don’t know if the emperor will let Yue Su go." Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said.
"But...but this is a major case of fraud in the examination room. If the emperor doesn't deal with Yue Su, wouldn't it chill the hearts of scholars all over the world? Even if the memorial to Yue Su's impeachment is spread all over the world, how will it end then?" Tian Ergen said.
"How to end it? The emperor will let me end it. Let's see, when the memorial comes, the news of this matter will be known to the whole city. Ask the censors to submit the memorial together and see what the emperor means."

Two days later, Yue Su's folding papers arrived in Beijing. The contents of his folding papers were not only an apology, but also included the case between Zou Jiaren and the King of Zhou. The folding papers of the King of Zhou, Wang Linhe, and Zhaozhou also arrived on the same day, but the contents were accurate.
They are different. Wang Linhe and Zhaozhou were impeaching Yue Su, but King Zhou was the only one who had an extra thought and did not mention the matter at all, but simply asked for forgiveness.
The old guy is not a fool. He knows that there are many people who want to impeach Yue Su, including himself. The most important thing is to keep his title. He will avoid being misunderstood that he is deliberately retaliating.
The memorial arrived at the cabinet. The current chief minister of the cabinet was Gu Bingqian. According to Eunuch Wei's wishes, the memorial was not immediately delivered to the Chief of Ceremonies, but the news was spread more widely. All officials in Beijing knew about it.
For a time, chapters impeaching Yue Su poured into the cabinet like a "tide", which can be said to be unprecedented. This is more than the memorials impeaching Zhang Juzheng after his death. The government and the public have almost reached unprecedented unity. This also shows that,
Mr. Yue's popularity is really not good.
When the memorials for impeaching Yue Su piled up like a mountain, Gu Bingqian sent the memorials to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Eunuch Wei briefly read a few copies and asked someone to carry them to the Yangxin Hall.
Since the Donglin Party was driven away, Carpenter Zhu has been more focused on carpentry. His current work is basically handed over to Wei Zhongxian, so he can take advantage of his busy schedule to listen to Eunuch Wei's report on important matters.
Today Carpenter Zhu is busy carving a model of a palace. This model is based on the style of the Forbidden City combined with the "Sude Palace". He designed all the city walls, palaces, landscapes, and gardens with his own hands. It's so busy that it's a mess.
I don't even have time to see my son.
Wei Zhongxian came outside the palace and saw the emperor busy, so he said carefully: "I see you, Your Majesty."
After Zhu Carpenter heard this, he turned to look at Wei Zhongxian and asked, "Wei Qing is not polite, what's the matter?".
"Long live the return, that...everyone in the court has made excuses to impeach Lord Yue today..."
"Is it to impeach Yue Su again?" Normally when he was in the mood for work, whenever Eunuch Wei came to seek the emperor's opinion on something, Zhu Youxiao would definitely say, "You can do it," but when it came to Yue Su, he still put down his tools.
, asked: "What is the crime?"
"It's because Mr. Yue cheated on the provincial examination back then and gained his fame in a wrong way." Wei Zhongxian said carefully.
"Yue Aiqing has been an official for so many years. What did they do before? Is there any evidence?" Zhu Youxiao said coldly.
"Everyone didn't know it before, but now the truth has been revealed, and even Lord Yue has admitted it himself," Wei Zhongxian said.
"He admitted it himself? When? Why didn't I know?" Zhu Youxiao stared at Wei Zhongxian and said.
"Master Yue's apology letter has just been delivered. It tells you everything about cheating in the provincial examination that year." Wei Zhongxian said.
"Bring it here and show it to me." Carpenter Zhu must read Yue Su's book.
Yue Su's memorial was placed at the top of the pile of memorials. After Wei Zhongxian took it, he walked into the Yangxin Hall and presented it to the emperor respectfully.
After Zhu Carpenter took it, he opened it and looked at it carefully. There were a few words in the memorial that failed to live up to the emperor's favor. He also wrote down everything that happened during the provincial examination. It also included the details of Zou Jiaren and others at the envoy's residence.
As I said before, the first part was to apologize, the second part was to report on the work, and why I had beaten Zou Jiaren, I also wrote clearly and clearly.
It is pure nonsense to say that Zhu Carpenter is illiterate. After reading it, he said: "It turns out that this old incident happened because Yue Qing enforced the law impartially. Wei Qing, what do you think of this matter?"
Wei Zhongxian wished that the emperor would immediately issue an order to kill Yue Su, but he could not answer such a straightforward question. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Master Yue enforces the law impartially and serves the country and the people. When he was patrolling Henan, he even
He is trying his best and can be said to be an example for all officials. However, cheating in the examination room is the most serious case in the world. If it is not severely punished, wouldn’t scholars all over the world feel cold and how to treat the court and the emperor. This has merits and demerits, which is really shocking.
It's hard for me to make a decision. I think it's better for the emperor to listen to the opinions of the officials before making a final decision."
Yue Su's contribution must be pointed out, and the crime is also more serious, but how to deal with it, Eunuch Wei cannot express it casually, so that he can remain invincible. The opinions of the officials are his own opinions, aren't they?
