Chapter 1735 ruthless move
A few days later, the court officials' court recommendation was held at the Ziguang Pavilion as scheduled.
As the status of the cabinet ministers of this dynasty continues to rise, the cabinet ministers have become the most important point of competition among various factions.
The reason why Zhang Siwei was highly expected by the Shanxi faction was because Zhang Siwei was a minister, which filled the regret that Yang Bo was not a Hanlin official and would have the opportunity to join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future.
This time, the court officials reopened. Six ministers and ministers, chief censors, six statutes, generals, Dali, and chief censors and other officials arrived as promised and came to the main hall of Ziguang Pavilion.
This time, the court recommendation was chaired by Xu Jie, but except for Xu Jie, all officials could only stand in the hall.
It is different from the local governor and the six ministers sitting there. In order to show respect and attention, all officials stand to promote the court, also known as "real push".
Everyone's attention was focused on the four candidates, Wu Shan still had that bad face as usual, Yan Ne and Li Chunfang showed a kind of affinity, while Dong Fen showed a sense of arrogance.
Li Chunfang looked very good today. She thought she was a runner, but now she has the opportunity to compete for the entrance tickets for the cabinet ministers. How can she not make him excited?
In this campaign that concerns cabinet ministers, all parties have tried their best. Everyone hopes to enter the cabinet first and be able to take the throne of the prime minister in the future.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shan suddenly stood up and said that he would not participate in this court promotion as a candidate, but he voluntarily gave up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for court promotion.
"Why did Shangshu Wu give up running for election?"
"Shangshu Wu is the well-deserved first candidate to join the cabinet!"
"Wu Shangshu is the second assistant to join the cabinet this time, why should he give up such a good opportunity?"
...
Many officials present were ready to vote for Wu Shan. Now, when they learned that Wu Shan voluntarily withdrew from this Tingtui, they couldn't help feeling disappointed.
But this was Wu Shan’s own decision after all, and many people were also greeted in advance. Although many officials expressed regret, they could not change this matter.
As Wu Shan voluntarily gave up his identity as a candidate for a cabinet minister, he has now become three people competing for two cabinet ministers, which has allowed Li Chunfang to retain some hope of joining the cabinet.
Lin Weiran, who was standing in the front row, found that Dong Fen had a grateful look at him. He knew that Dong Fen was completely relieved, so he followed Dong Fen and nodded slightly to respond.
With their support, Dong Fen's votes are still not as good as Yan Ne, but he will definitely be above Li Chunfang, thus becoming the new assistant of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Jie seemed to have captured the eyes of the two people, but a solemn look surged on his face, but he stood up and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone has already understood the rules, and I will no longer
Tell me more nonsense, you can vote now!"
Dong Fen started voting now when he heard this. He followed Gao Yi, Mao Kai and others' eyes exchanged, and he was already sure to win.
It was at this moment that a voice suddenly came out and said, "Sir Yuanfu, wait!"
Everyone looked at the voice and found that it was the voice of the censor Kedao standing in the back row, but they saw that Ouyang Yijing, the director of the Criminal Department, had already stood up calmly.
Huh?
When Lin Xuran saw Ouyang Yijing's sudden incident, his brows frowned slightly, but turned his head to look at Xu Jie with a normal face, but he felt in his heart that things might be turbulent.
"What's the matter?" Xu Jie looked up at Ouyang Yijing who was standing at the back, and asked with an unhappy expression.
All the officials looked at Ouyang Yijing and found that the criminal department did not know the right degree. Now the court promotion of the cabinet minister is about to be held. What qualifications does this small seventh-rank official have to stop it?
If you are making trouble here, even if the Licorice Pavilion Master Xu Jie doesn't blame him, this little man from the seventh-rank criminal department may have to pay the price of being released for this.
Ouyang Yijing bowed respectfully to Xu Jie, but turned his head to look at Dong Fen and accused directly: "When the Yan Shifan incident broke out last year, the Yan family sent a large sum of silver to the hometown of Wu Cheng, asking Dong to try to rescue the traitor Yan Shifan. This led to the actions of Mr. Dong to rescue the traitor Yan Shifan several times. The lower officials had already submitted a memorial to impeach Dong Fen, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the day before yesterday, but the emperor did not reply for a long time, but this person was very corrupt and could not participate in the candidate court recommendation of the cabinet minister!"
this……
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
The "Ming Dynasty Law" stipulates that "being rich and wrong" stolen money, officials will be stolen with 70 sticks at the same time, and will be 80 sticks at the same time, and will be stolen with 80 sticks at the same time, and will be stolen with 80 sticks at the same time.
Although this criminal law has long been in name only, it is common for officials of the Ming Dynasty to accept bribes. There are not many officials in the Ming Dynasty who are not corrupt, otherwise Hai Rui would not seem so valuable.
However, Dong Fen was exposed at this critical moment, and Yan Shifan, who was bribed to rescue the "Water and the enemy" and this charge was enough to make Dong Fen fall apart.
Mao Kai, the left deputy censor of the Censorate, received favor from Dong Fen in the past, but he stood up and said in a resentful manner: "Ouyang Yijin, don't you want to make a big fuss here. Do you think that Lord Dong accepts the bribes from the Yan family? Is there any evidence?"
The capital is located in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and it is quite troublesome to investigate many things. In particular, Ouyang Yijin is in the capital, but he is so clear about the matters in Jiangxi and Zhejiang, which is indeed a skeptical of the truth.
"There is a promotion official of Yuanzhou Prefecture. No, it is the upcoming head of the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department, Guo Jianchen, can be proved!" Ouyang Yijin was already well prepared and immediately responded seriously.
Mao Kai's stance was firm and he immediately said with a smile: "Guo Jianchen is just a small Yuanzhou Prefecture Promoter. Even if he happened to see Yan's mansion transport the silver out of Yuanzhou, he would not know where the silver would eventually be. How could he listen to Guo Jianchen's words? According to my official's opinion, he was accusing the important officials of the court and should be executed with Ouyang Yijing!"
All the officials present were Beijing officials, who had a natural sense of superiority to local officials and had an innate sense of rejection. They were also unwilling to accept the testimony of an insignificant local official, and this testimony had obvious loopholes.
Just when Ouyang Yijin wanted to say something, Xu Jie's voice suddenly rang out: "Shut up!"
Faced with the statement of the lofty prime minister, the two of them obediently closed their mouths.
However, Dong Fen stared at Ouyang Yijin, but he didn't know whether it was guilty or a kind of indignation for being wronged.
Xu Jie sighed lightly, but said to Dong Fen: "Yongjun, this matter is very important. The court-suggested matter is paused for a while. Let's go to Wanshou Palace to explain the matter clearly to the emperor!"
Dong Fen's eyes moved away from Ouyang Yijing, looked at Xu Jie deeply, and finally spit out a word from his throat and said: "Okay."
"Everyone, the matter is suddenly happening, please wait here for a while!" Xu Jie saw that something was wrong, and he also showed the majesty of the chief minister and said to everyone.
Naturally, everyone nodded and seemed to be waiting here honestly, while many officials looked at Dong Fen who was leaving worriedly.
During the reign of Yan Song, the censor Kedao looked very calm after many failures.
However, now Xu Jie is the prime minister, and with the approval of the emperor, he ordered these censors to take medicine to the officials, and often pointed the finger at the big bosses of the dynasty, and often staged the scene of "shocking down the big tree" as if they had taken medicine.

Lin Xu Ran looked at Xu Jie and called Ouyang Yijing to meet the emperor together, but he felt a bad premonition.
In his initial idea, Dong Fen was pushed to the throne of the Ming Dynasty's sub-super, and they followed the Zhejiang Party to continue to fight against Xu Jie. However, Xu Jie was an old fox after all, and seemed to have been guarding against Dong Fen for a long time, and now he has taken action against Dong Fen.
