Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 526 Who's Thunder
In the seventh year of Wanli, the third day of September.

In the matter of official affairs, Zhao Yumin made an appointment to impeach Ling Yunyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, for "indulging family servants and servants, and committing murders in the capital of goodness", please stop.

On the same day, Lin Yicai, the supervisory censor of Guangdong Province, impeached Ling Yunyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, who was appointed as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, "arrogant and lawless, often ridiculed by the times; murderous, brutal and radical changes", please stop.

It is normal for Zhao Yumin and Lin Yicai to impeach officials. However, both of them were only Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, and their qualifications are very low. However, they impeached the minister of the Ministry of War at the same time.

Struggles in the imperial court are different from leading troops to fight. Generally speaking, the school of "a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength" is not popular.

One of the most common ways is to first send a senior official with low qualifications to impeach a certain minister to see the emperor's reaction to the matter. The dependents are still there, whether to continue the impeachment depends on the situation.

And if the emperor does not respond at all after receiving the memorial, it generally means that the minister may have lost the emperor's trust. until the minister is dealt with.

Of course, generally speaking, after being impeached, the minister will take the initiative to stay behind closed doors, either to defend himself, or to beg for return.If the emperor lost trust in the minister, but still remembered some old feelings, he might only approve the resignation, and usually would not dig into it. After all, it is customary to treat civil servants preferentially.

Zhao Yumin and Lin Yicai are the harbingers of this "reversal", two small stones "throwing stones to ask for directions".

Here is a little explanation. Originally, the chief examiner and deputy examiner of the Longqing five-year examination in history were Zhang Juzheng and Lu Tiaoyang respectively. However, due to the influence of high pragmatism, it finally became Guo Pu as the chief examiner and Zhang Juzheng as the deputy examiner. , so a lot of this year's Jinshi's tutors and house tutors have changed.

Zhao Yumin and Lin Yicai were the Jinshi selected by Guo Pu this year.Among them, Zhao Yumin was from Changye, Shanxi, and Lin Yicai was from Tong'an, Fujian.

Ling Yunyi rushed to the capital the day before yesterday, and went to see the emperor yesterday with anxiety. He was told that the emperor had given lectures in the Yuwenhua Palace and asked him to come back later. New, at that time Ling Yunyi thought it was going to be bad.

Many people think that nine out of ten good premonitions fail, but the opposite is true for bad premonitions, which are basically sure. The same is true for Ling Yunyi.

He had no choice but to think about it, because even Shen Shixing, an old man with a heart of learning, gave him ambiguous answers, and he didn't have a single sentence at all, let alone the others.So he had no choice but to apply for resignation - it is impossible to defend himself, and it is impossible to defend himself in this life, because although Shen Shixing didn't give him any guarantee, but told him, he might be afraid that day It was a collision with the two princesses.

This is tantamount to being caught and defending yourself!Whether you like it or not, you can only resign as usual.

However, the emperor seemed to be still not satisfied. Two impeachments came up, and the cabinet voted lightly to say that Ling Yunyi still had credit for putting down the rebellion in Guangdong and Guangxi. However, there was no mention of this impeachment.

The emperor's reaction was very emperor, and he didn't reply a word.This is the so-called stay in China.

So as expected, on the second day, another impeachment came up. The matter of impeachment was the same as yesterday, but the person impeached by Shangshu changed. people.

The emperor still didn't respond, but Ling Yunyi, panicked, went to the school again to ask for resignation.

On the third day, the drama finally came to a critical juncture. The Zuodu Yushi Wang Guoguang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate personally went out to impeach Ling Yunyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, for "recklessness and irresponsibility". Please stop!

Zuodu Yushi is No. 1 of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The world calls it the General Constitution.All ministers who are treacherous, villains who form parties, and those who are powerful and disorderly, will be impeached.All officials who are corrupt and corrupt officials will be impeached.Anyone who is academically inaccurate, who submits a letter to the statement, turns it into a constitution, and hopes to use it will be impeached.In the case of pilgrimage and inspection, whether to depose the sages of the same official department.The heavy prisoners of the big prison will be sent to the outer dynasty, together with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Although it is not unique, the majestic Zuodu Yushi personally impeached ministers, but it is indeed rare.As usual, the Zuodu censor came forward to impeach, the emperor could not continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, there must be a reply.

So the emperor's reply came very quickly this time: Ling Yunyi relied on his meager skills, acted harshly, arrogant and lawless, deeply disappointing me.Immediate dismissal pending investigation, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment should send cadres to Guangdong, Jiangxi and other places to investigate thoroughly and report in detail.

Dismissal pending investigation!Thorough investigation!
Man said that most of the court officials didn't know that the incident of that day involved "colliding with Fengjia". They only knew that Ling Yunyi had a conflict with the former Guan Zheng Gao, who was known as "Xiaoge Lao" a few years ago, even if he knew the inside story Shen Shixing and the others also stood there in a daze after seeing the emperor's imperial pen and Zhu Zhu, speechless for a long time.

Not to mention Ling Yunyi himself, he was already locked up in the mansion because of the impeachment, but suddenly received such a severe order, his legs went limp on the spot, and he collapsed on the ground. "Take it up and kneel down to receive the imperial decree."

Gao Dang, who almost fell into a dual leadership system due to Gao Gong's death and Gao Pragmatic's return to his hometown more than a year ago, suddenly exploded with amazing lethality at a moment when he had been cautious for a long time, and even made people feel that he was about to fall apart. Topple a newly promoted minister, and it is so thunderous and unstoppable!
It's not an edict to grant resignation, it's not to stay idle with a crown, or even an order to retire from office, but to be dismissed pending investigation!

In the eyes of most people, what is the crime Ling Yunyi committed?Isn't there a little conflict with Gao Wushi for a shelter from the rain?Although it is true that you have acted too radically, but he is a majestic Minister of the Ministry of War, and you are not as pragmatic as a new imperial examination candidate. Even if you are a Jieyuan, so what, you are still a Juren, not even a Jinshi!

But the emperor's disposition is so decisive, so merciless!

What does this mean?
In the eyes of these officials who don't know the truth, this can only show one thing: Gao Wu's status in the eyes of the emperor is far higher than that of Ling Yunyi, Minister of the Ministry of War!
However, there is something even worse next, the emperor's imperial edict, the three ministers of the cabinet will be dismissed as usual, and since the recommendation was improper, please resign from the post and concurrently hold various positions.

The emperor's reply was still extremely fast: Qing and other Zhongzhengs kept their duties and recommended them based on their merits. There was nothing wrong with it. Ling Yunyi took the blame for himself.It is advisable to leave the assistant as early as possible, and none of them are allowed to resign.

Another middle official was sent to Guo University's scholar's office, and Gao Yushi was given two sets of four new books, two copies of Zhouyi (Gao Yushi's classic), two lake brushes, two boxes of Hui ink, two Duan inkstones, and two new paper knives. .

The government and the public heard it sideways, and people at the time whispered: The Gao Party is still going on.
