Autumn turns to winter, and the white horse passes by. In a blink of an eye, it is the time of heavy snow and the depth of winter again.
In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Long Qing, with a sallow complexion, was lying on the imperial couch with his eyes closed, listening to Feng Bao beside him reading memorials and drafts, and then he was silent.
"To Cheng Wen, the censor Wang Junshang impeached Sun Piyang, the prime minister of Dali Temple, and Lu Zongru, the magistrate of Pucheng County. He told Sun Piyang to bribe the eunuch of the township with five hundred gold, and instigated the censor Wangjun to reward Lu Zongru. According to the Ministry of Official Affairs, it was verified to be true. The Ministry of Officials The ministry replied: Sun Piyang returned home to listen to the survey, and Lu Zongru was dismissed. The vote was approved: approved."
"Criticizing the Red: According to the Ministry's Decision."
"Li Liangchen, the censor of the Guangxi patrol, impeached Yu Dayou, the commander-in-chief. He said that Yu Dayou was traitorous, corrupt and illegal, so he should be severely punished. Yinbao's first contribution was untrue, so he should also be punished. According to the official's investigation, it was not true, and the official's department overturned the charges: If you don't know it, violently destroy it, fearing that the generals will disintegrate after hearing about it. All the officials replied: Order Dayou to return to his hometown temporarily to listen to it. The vote was drafted: approved."
"Criticizing the Red: According to the Ministry's Decision."
"Liu Shizeng, the imperial censor of Zhili, impeached Duan Chaozong, the magistrate of Huizhou. He said that Duan Chaozong's corruption was exposed and he begged to be dismissed. According to the verification by the Ministry of Personnel, it was true. The Ministry of Personnel responded: Duan Chaozong was living in leisure and chasing the stolen goods. The vote was drafted: According to allow."
"Criticizing the Red: According to the Ministry's Decision."
"Fujian Inspector Du Huazhong impeached..." Feng Bao looked at the memorial and paused for a moment.
"Who are you impeaching?" Long Qing asked softly with his eyes still closed.
Feng Bao coughed carefully and said: "I impeach General Wang Rulong of the Fujian South Road. The Fujian Guerrilla General Office is commanded by Qianshi Jinke, the Dusi Military and Political Bureau is commanded by Qianshi Zhu Jue, the left minister of the Ministry of War Gu Zhongxu, and the minister of Dali Temple He Kuan, Fujian Inspector-General Mo Rushan, Fujian Capital Transport Envoy Siyun Li Tingguan, Fuzhou Prefecture Promotion Officer Li Yizhong, Prime Minister's Military Training Affairs and Chief Military Officer Guarding Jizhou and other departments Qi Jiguang..."
Long Qing suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and stared straight into Feng Bao's eyes like a razor blade, asking one word at a time: "Du Huazhong impeached Gu Zhongxu, Qi Jiguang?"
Feng Bao lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice: "Long live Grandpa, yes."
Long Qing stared at him for a while, then suddenly lay back on the royal couch and closed his eyes again, but after a while, he asked: "What did Du Huazhong say?"
Feng Bao cautiously glanced at Long Qing, and then continued to read: "Du Huazhong said that Wang Rulong invaded the army's rations, took bribes of more than three thousand taels of silver, accepted heavy bribes from the Guang bandits, raped good women, and was corrupt and cruel. Jin Ke He reduced the imperial reward and military rations, and defrauded more than 7,000 taels of silver. Zhu Jue embezzled military pay, demanded more than 5,000 taels of silver, and executed innocent people. Jin Ke, Zhu Jue asked Qi Jiguang to bribe Gu Zhongxu with 2,000 taels of gold in order to be rescued. Gu Zhongxu ordered the governor of Fujian to inquire. Jin and Zhu sent 700 gold, silk, cloth and other things to the governor He Kuan. He ordered Li Tingguan and Li Yizhong to inquire. Jin and Zhu sent 700 gold to Yizhong, each from Light drafting. The inspector, Mo Rushan, listened to his dance skills and neglected his duties. Wang, Jin, and Zhu each donated thousands of gold to bribe Qi Jiguang, and Qi Nai went to Beijing to listen to the memorial. Du Huazhong begged the general Wang, Jin, and Zhu to give it to him. Returning to Fujian, he strictly followed the law. He begged the officials and the second army of the army, and ordered Qi Jiguang to admonish him. He dismissed Li Gu, He, and Li because he was good at becoming an official. Li Yizhong demoted him. "
It was such a long paragraph that it was difficult for Feng Bao to read it in one breath without pausing.
Long Qing did not answer. Feng Bao glanced quietly and saw that the emperor did not open his eyes again, but the five fingers of his right hand were tapping lightly on the edge of the imperial couch.
Feng Bao did not dare to speak and could only wait patiently. The rules of the Ming Dynasty were different from other dynasties. Even with Feng Bao's status and power, when reading to the emperor, he did not dare to take the initiative without the emperor asking.
What suggestions do you have?
What's more, this impeachment is so important!
This was not a pebble thrown into a calm lake, but a huge burning meteorite dropped into the lake!
Du Huazhong, courtesy name Minfu, was born in Fugou County, Henan Province, and was the grandson of Du Shao. He became a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing's reign, and was a student of Gao Gong's family. He was the censor of Fujian Province at that time.
Gu Zhongxu, courtesy name Zisheng, alias Daizong, was born in Haifeng County, Shandong Province. He was rarely called a child prodigy. He passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen and became a Jinshi at the age of nineteen. In the first year of Longqing, he was promoted to governor of Zhejiang. In the fourth year of Longqing, he was transferred to Huguang.
Governor, he was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War. Previously, he was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of War because of his meritorious service in seconding my answer to pay tribute, and acted as the minister of the Ministry of War.
As for Qi Jiguang, I think there is no need to introduce him.
Feng Bao held his breath and concentrated, not daring to take a breath.
I don't know how long it took before I heard Long Qing sigh slightly and ask, "Have the officials checked?"
Feng Bao felt his throat was a little itchy, but he didn't even dare to cough lightly at this moment. He suppressed the discomfort and replied: "Long live Grandpa, I have checked it out."
"What did Bu Fu say?"
"The Ministry of Personnel investigated and found out that He Kuan had accepted bribes, committed adultery, and was committed to the law. However, without verification, the evidence was insufficient, so the Ministry ordered him to return to his hometown for investigation first, and then petition for punishment after the incident was clear.
It is better to follow the old rules well and become an official. Li Ting observed the old rules but did not follow the rules, and lived in leisurely life. Li Yizhong followed the old rules and was demoted."
"Where is Qi Jiguang?" Long Qing asked again.
"Qi Jiguang...cough!" Feng Bao finally couldn't help coughing out, and hurriedly apologized for his misconduct in front of the group. Long Qing frowned slightly and waved his hand to let him continue.
Feng Bao swallowed and spat, and said cautiously: "The Ministry of Officials will investigate: Qi Jiguang will be investigated by the Ministry of War."
Long Qing exhaled and asked, "Has the Ministry of War been overthrown?"
"Not yet."
Long Qing opened his mouth and closed it again. After a while, he said: "Liu Zhong... No, Zhu Pi: According to the ministry's discussion. In addition, Gu Zhong stayed in Beijing to listen to the survey, and there is no need to return home. The matter of Qi Jiguang will be reported by the Ministry of War."
Let’s discuss again. Let’s move on to the next one.”
The emperor did not ask Feng Bao what he thought. Feng Bao did not dare to ask any more questions. He immediately turned to the next page, hesitated and said: "The official officer Tu Menggui, the left minister of the military department, Gu Zhongxu, accused Gu Zhong of being a traitor, corrupt and incompetent.
The begging must be stopped immediately.”
"Cough, cough, cough!" This time, Long Qing coughed, sat up, and covered his mouth with a bright yellow handkerchief.
Feng Bao hurriedly stepped forward to support him, with a nervous look on his face: "Long live grandpa, long live grandpa, take care of your dragon body. Why don't you hear it here first?"
Long Qing pushed him away and took a look at the handkerchief in his hand. Sure enough, there was blood again. He took a deep breath, waved his hand to signal Feng Bao not to be nervous, and asked instead: "Are these two memorials from the same day?"
Feng Bao quickly took a look and said: "Back to Grandpa Long Live, no, the previous one is from the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, and the next one is from the second day of the second lunar month."
Long Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned deeply, and said to himself: "In less than ten days, Gu Zhongxu was impeached consecutively? It seems that I took a rest at the wrong time some time ago... Has Mr. Zhang Ge sent me a note?
?”
Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang Ge's note has been brought..." As he said this, he immediately took out a folded note from his sleeve and prepared to hand it to him.
Longqing.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Long Qing waved his hand and said: "It seems that you have been prepared for a long time... You don't need to show it to me, just tell me what Mr. Zhang Ge means and let me know."
In just a moment, Feng Bao broke out in a cold sweat. He forced himself to calm down and said with a small smile: "How dare you carelessly serve Mr. Ge's terms... Well, Mr. Zhang Ge said, after Gu Zhongxu was impeached,
, as usual, we are staying behind closed doors, and the Ministry of War has no department to take care of the matter. Qi Jiguang's matter may take some time."
Long Qing was silent for a while and then asked: "Is there any more?"
Feng Bao continued to accompany Xiao Xing and said: "Mr. Zhang Ge also said that Gu Zhongxu insisted that the several criminal generals were people who had made contributions to the war against Japan and were needed by the country. Qi Jiguang acted for them out of love for their talents.
The meaning of talent..."
"Go and bring me all the memorials that I missed while I was recuperating." Long Qing interrupted him.
Feng Bao had no choice but to hold back what he said next, but he hesitated and said: "Yes, but the imperial doctor said that Long Live Grandpa shouldn't work too hard now..."
"Whether it should be done or not, I have my own opinion."
"Yes, yes, my slave, please retire." Feng Bao did not dare to say more and resigned.
After he walked away, Long Qing waved to the side and said to a young eunuch: "It is said that Zhu Xixiao is here to see you."
The young eunuch quickly agreed, and just as he was about to leave, Long Qing said again: "Tell him not to disturb anyone - you do the same."
