Cao Zhengchun presented the paper to Emperor Zhou. Although he was mentally prepared, the corner of Emperor Zhou's mouth still twitched slightly, and then he glanced at Yu Yanyi with a strange look. Then he cast his gaze below.
Yang Qingyuan with an upright face.
This kind of thing is obviously not something Yu Yanyi can do.
Then Emperor Zhou returned the paper in his hand to Cao Zhengchun and handed it over to the doubters for circulation.
Everyone who read the paper looked strange, including the prince and all the bachelors in the cabinet.
When the paper was handed over to King Chu, King Chu realized why everyone had this Sima expression. The content on the paper was fine, but the signature on it was too rough.
This is a simple application document for the Ministry of War to mobilize troops. It is nothing special. It has the signatures of Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan, as well as the seals of Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Then, below it is stamped with the official seal of the Ministry of War and the official seal of the cabinet. It is very formal.
If you ignore the signature lines of the Ministry of War and the Cabinet.
On the signature column of the Ministry of War, the signature of Yu Yanyi, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is located on it. The dragon is flying and the phoenix is dancing, and the pen is moving like a dragon and a snake. This is evident in the calligraphy skills of Yu Shangshu.
Then the cabinet approval column below is the key to leaving everyone speechless.
On the cabinet approval column, the signature of Yu Yanyi, a bachelor of Wuyingdian University, was clearly listed. What is even more speechless is that Yu Yanyi also changed the font to Gonggong's neat block letters.
Do you think that changing your signature to a different font can hide this shameless behavior of applying, signing and approving by yourself?
Although Yu Yanyi's approach was shameless, there was no procedural flaw in the deployment of troops.
Yang Qingyuan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, and Li Xunhuan, the censor of the capital, wrote to the Ministry of War. After obtaining the approval of the Minister of War in Yanyi, they submitted it to the cabinet. The Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian in Yanyi approved the deployment of troops.
At this moment, all the ministers in the palace, including the prince and the King of Chu, deeply understood the weight of Yu Yanyi, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the bachelor of Wuying Palace, and the depth of His Majesty's trust.
As long as Yu Yanyi wants to, he can legally mobilize troops within the divine capital without anyone's permission.
Of course, only when this kind of power was in the hands of Yanyi could Emperor Zhou feel relieved.
"Master Liu, do you have any questions?"
Yang Qingyuan on the side asked indifferently. Although Liu Wen wanted to refute, he had no reason to accuse. Yang Qingyuan's move made the Xungui Group's backhand no longer able to use it, and could only look at Yang Qingyuan angrily.
Yu Yanyi was well known to everyone, and it was obvious that only the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, who did not follow common sense, could come up with such a rogue method.
The Xungui Group's first move failed, but they still had allies. An official in purple robes stood out from the direction of the Sixth Department.
"I impeach Yang Qingyuan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, for blocking water transportation and sealing up merchants for no reason, causing the water transportation in the capital to be blocked. The people in Beijing are complaining, and the people are almost in dire straits. I request Yang Qingyuan to be severely punished to calm the people!"
The person who took action was Lu Cheng, the political power of the An family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Of course, Lu Cheng was not from the An family, but Lu Cheng's immediate boss, Minister of Industry Zhao Yan, was on good terms with An Yunshan.
But after all, Zhao Yan is an important minister in charge of his own department. It would be a loss of status to personally deal with Yang Qingyuan, a fifth-grade official. Even if this official has a bright future, it is only a future after all. It is not worthy of him to do it himself, so he will leave it to his younger brother.
Do it for you.
When he heard about Lu Cheng's impeachment, Li Xunhuan took a step forward.
"Water transportation and merchants are under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Why is Mr. Lu so active?!"
When it comes to slandering people in the court, who else but me should be in charge of the imperial court? Even the officials of the six ministries of science and education have to stand aside.
"I just can't bear to see you and Yang Qingyuan doing evil, poisoning the people, and speaking out for justice!"
"Master Lu is surprised by this statement. Yushi Li and I have your majesty's trust. How dare we act recklessly!?"
Yang Qingyuan's political level is still high, and Lu Cheng's offensive was stopped with one sentence. This sentence may seem ordinary, but everyone in the palace knows that without evidence, Lu Cheng cannot continue to pester.
If you continue to criticize without evidence, you are insinuating that Emperor Zhou was ignorant and blind!
Seeing that Lu Cheng was temporarily silent, Li Xunhuan immediately counterattacked, "I impeach Lu Cheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, for leaving his post without authorization during the Yingmao period and drinking alcohol and sleeping with prostitutes in Ziyuan Pavilion. Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"
Li Xunhuan's reason for impeachment left Lu Cheng speechless. He was not the only one there at that time, weren't you also there?
When Zhao Yan saw someone chasing his subordinates, he refuted, "Lv Cheng left his post without permission, how did Li Yushi know about it!? Doesn't it mean that Li Yushi can talk nonsense after hearing about it!?"
"Is Zhao Yan alluding to our procuratorate's random surveillance?!"
Cheng Qingsong, the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the censor of the Right Capital, Cheng Qingsong, is an upright person and one of the representative figures among the Qing gossip officials. However, he is protective of others. When he saw that Zhao Yan, the dignified minister, was bullying my younger brother, he took action himself.
Cheng Qingsong's words immediately stirred up the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate. It was the Metropolitan Procuratorate's power to supervise the censor after hearing the news. After Cheng Qingsong's words, Zhao Yan's words seemed to be a sarcasm to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This made the entire Inspectorate
The hospital is eager to try.
But Li Xunhuan on the side spoke first, "I saw it with my own eyes! There is nothing wrong with it!?"
Zhao Yan smiled, this Li Xunhuan is still too young, how is this sentence different from self-destruction?!
"So, Yu Shi Li also left his post without permission?!"
Just as Li Xunhuan was about to refute, Cheng Qingsong spoke first, "Your Majesty, the veteran has written to Your Majesty, requesting the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go among the people and listen to the voices of the people!"
"That's right! I agreed at that time!" Emperor Zhou nodded.
"On that day, Li Xunhuan was listening to the opinions of the people in the market. The old minister received a report from the people, saying that an official was drinking alcohol and having sex with a prostitute in the place of fireworks during the Yingmao period. The old minister then sent Li Xunhuan to investigate!"
Li Xunhuan also agreed, and then smiled reservedly at Lu Cheng.
Sorry! You are absent from work, I am out on duty!
Zhao Yan opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't find a suitable excuse. If he were from the Ministry of Household Affairs, he could go to brothels to research prices and examine the spiritual and cultural level of the people in the capital. What excuse can you from the Ministry of Works have? Go to Ziyuanxie to study home decoration.
Is the style gone?
"Okay! That's it for now, Zhao Qing, how should this be punished??!"
Zhao Menke, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came out and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Cheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, left his post without permission. He will be fined half a year's salary and demoted in the evaluation!"
Emperor Zhou nodded with satisfaction. He had no intention of deposing Lu Cheng and just gave him a warning.
Shortly after the matter came to an end, Tang Li, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to advise Minister Lu to impeach Yang Qingyuan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, for blocking water transportation and sealing up merchants for no reason. There are one hundred and eighty-seven merchants here.
The joint signatures are signed by Your Majesty, please read them!"
Using public opinion to defeat the enemy, Tang Li's move was the real threat to Yang Qingyuan.
