Chapter 127
This kind of official document transaction for personnel appointments and removals is not a secret. As usual, the Censorate should be closed and reported to them every day to supervise them.
The censors were discussing the impeachment of Zhang Shixun tomorrow, but they didn't care about it at all. When Zhang Qi was in power in the court, he himself did not propose it. The Third Class Office would not offend him for nothing, and all the relatives in the family held idle positions. Now it is no longer as powerful as before. Who would care about a small prison officer in the remote prefecture army?
In the evening, Sun Zude from Zhijianyuan came to invite the Censor Jiang Tang to go out for a drink, and then inquire about the news about the Censorate.
The status of the Censorate is far inferior to that of the Censorate, and the censors are more particular. They do their own things when they hear the news. The court stipulates that there is no need to ask the chief official. Sun Zude's people are average and cannot organize their censors to discuss and act together like the Censors. There is no way to prepare to agree with the censors.
When they arrived at Qingfeng Tower, the two chose a small pavilion to sit down. After chatting for a few gossips, the topic turned to Zhang Shixun. When Jiang Tang said that the censors were going to impeach Zhang Shixun together tomorrow, Sun Zude had a scheming in his heart.
After finishing the main business, he talked about some idle things in the capital.
Sun Zude said: "There was an interesting story yesterday. Zhang Xinyi, the little yamen of Zhang Pushe's family, fell in love with a little lady who runs a small hotel near Panlou, and was entangled there for two consecutive days. Unexpectedly, the little lady had some connection with the deputy envoy of salt and iron, so she called Xu Ping over and humiliated Zhang Xinyi very much. It is said that she even beat him."
After hearing this, Jiang Tang understood in his heart that this was not an interesting story. I am afraid that the little yamen of the Zhang family was unwilling to suffer a loss under Xu Ping and sued the Censorate. The censors can report the news. If they don’t want to tell, no one can find out the source of the news, even the emperor and the prime minister are not allowed. Many dissatisfied people will submit complaints to the Censorate and ask to hide their names, otherwise there will be so many news from them. Although the Censorate also has this function, it is not as convenient as the Censorate. The Censorate actually controls the two complaint institutions for civilians, the Guard and the Procuratorate.
As soon as Sun Zude mentioned this, Jiang Tang knew that he was here to ask for support. Last year, because of the deposed Empress Guo, three censors went to Xu Ping's house to cause trouble and later seized the official position. Because of this, censors had formed a bond with Xu Ping, and they always disgusted him as long as they had the opportunity. Now that the opportunity is right in front of them, how can they let it go?
Unfortunately, Taiwan has decided to suppress everything else tomorrow and deal with Zhang Shixun together. Although it can be said individually in the system, it offended his colleagues.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Tang said, "When talking about this, Zhang Xinyi, the appointment and removal documents reported by Class 3, today was sent to the Lianshui Army as the Salt Supervisor. Maybe it was because of Xu Ping."
"It must be! How can things in the world be so coincidental? Yesterday, Xu Ping and Zhang Xin had a conflict, and today they were imprisoned to the foreign state army! Mr. Li was old and cowardly. If Xu Ping ran to Guan and talk, he would not agree!"
Speaking of this, Sun Zude was a little excited, his face turned red, and he looked at Jiang Tang eagerly and said, "Xiru, Xu Ping is so unscrupulous. Tomorrow we will jointly impeach him together! Zhang Xin was a family of Dukes and Marquis, and he was so humiliated by Xu Ping, a slander. How could he tolerate him!"
Jiang Tang shook his head: "No, tomorrow the Censorate will impeach Mr. Zhang together. I cannot let my fellow lieutenants down. Yan Zhong can join forces with the censors of this court to impeach Xu Ping, so that he should not be too arrogant in the capital."
"Okay! Then tomorrow the Censorate will treat Mr. Zhang, and our Censorate will treat Xu Ping! I have found out clearly that Xu Ping not only humiliated Zhang Xinyi, but also hit him! It's simply outrageous!"
Jiang Tang smiled and said, "Who is the blame? The Duke and Marquis family, which yamen does not bring many followers with them. Only Zhang Pushe's house is worth a thousand pounds. Since he was just a Privy Council, he can no longer use soldiers casually. There is not even a errand to pass messages around their yamen. A yamen who is powerless is not the opponent of Xu Ping, the murderer."
Jiang Tang said, but hesitated several times in his heart. Should he remind Sun Zude to be careful when impeaching Xu Ping this time. Although the censor can be heard, he cannot speak nonsense. He does not have any evidence that Xu Ping has found the Third Class Hospital in his hand, so don’t be bitten by Xu Ping. After thinking about it, he will let it go, and Jiang Tang also wants to see Xu Ping be defeated.
As for Xu Ping's direct writing class 3 so blatantly, they didn't even dare to think about it.
The next morning, Lu Yijian reported to the daily government affairs of the Secretariat. Zhang Shixun took the lead and impeached himself in the previous chapter, requesting to dismiss the Secretariat and the Secretariat to be dismissed from the State Council and to be appointed as the governor of the State Council. The excuse was that he had gone home and asked his family that the amount of money involved in the secretariat shop was too large, and he was uneasy in the political affairs hall and took the crime to set an example for other officials.
Han Yi, who was inspecting the officials opposite, did not expect that Zhang Shixun would come like this. The censors agreed yesterday were useless. They were very anxious and kept winking at the censors in the palace who were inquiring about the rules.
Xu Ping stood among the group of officials and watched coldly. It was obvious that Zhang Shixun received the news last night. Today, he took the initiative to retreat and advance, so that the person who was in trouble could be spared.
Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Shixun's gray hair and remembered that when he was the crown prince, Zhang Shixun was very dedicated to assisting him, so he could stop his face because of a small business at home and comfort him with kind words.
The final result was to accept Zhang Shixun’s self-important memorial and discuss it after he went to court.
When the second Privy Council reported the political affairs, the censors had not yet come to their senses and didn't know what to do for a moment.
The third squad is a censor who reported the matter. When Sun Zude saw that the censors were caught off guard by Zhang Shixun, he was foolish there. He was out of the line and said loudly: "I impeached Deputy Envoy of Yan and Iron Xu Ping, who was domineering and illegal!"
The Chuigong Hall is not big, and Xu Ping is lined behind a group of ministers who are waiting for the system, and the location is outside the hall. In order to make the officials stand neatly, there are round stones lined out of the hall, and everyone is standing on the rocks.
These round stones were stepped on for an hour or two every day, and they had already been extremely smooth. Originally, Xu Ping was standing there bored, and his feet were shaking gently to try the smoothness of the big stone under his feet. When he heard this, he suddenly became energetic.
The order in the hall was maintained by several yamen such as the Censorate and the Dianmensi, but the main function was the Censorate, which was somewhat convenient. The censors were much more convenient than other officials.
Sun Zude raised his tablet and said loudly: "I heard that yesterday, near Panlou, the deputy envoy of salt and iron, Xu Ping, and the Dongtou entourage official Zhang Xinyi had a dispute over a civilian woman. Xu Ping relied on his own many people to openly humiliate Zhang Xinyi and slapped him! As a minister in the court, what is the difference between Xu Ping's behavior and jealous idle men on the streets? He really lost the face of the court!"
Xu Ping listened and shook his head slightly. Since he did it, he was afraid that others would say it. He was originally trying to make things bigger. After several months in the capital, Xu Ping missed his old subordinates in Yongzhou more and more. This time he openly stood up for Duan Yunjie and dealt with Zhang Xinyi without any concealment, in order to be kind to his old subordinates of that year. When he had the opportunity, he would transfer people from Yongzhou to Beijing, and he would be his own team, which was stronger than the current lonely people and was constrained everywhere.
Sun Zude kept saying: "And, I know that Xu Ping secretly asked the officials of the Third Class Court to release Zhang Xin Yiyuan from the Lianshui Army Salt Supervisor! Xu Ping had already married, but he used his power to do his own interests for a private daughter, which was shameless! It was chilling!"
Zhao Zhen frowned at the seat.
He didn't take it to heart when he was jealous. He felt very annoyed by the censors for nothing. He was also unable to come to Taiwan for the sake of deposing the queen. What's wrong with the minister? The minister can't have a woman he likes.
But hitting people was over. Zhang Xin knew that it was from Zhang Qi's family when he heard the name. When Empress Dowager Liu was there, Zhang Qi's family ran into the palace a lot. Zhao Zhen naturally knew. Although Zhang Qi was just a Privy Councilor, he was still the Minister of the State. How could Xu Ping not give up any face and hit someone if he had a disagreement?
Han Yi, opposite the ministers, was a little angry with Sun Zude. Now, when is everyone planning how to deal with Zhang Shixun? But he did these trivial matters to change the situation, which was speechless.
Because he stood too far behind, Xu Ping could not be seen, Han Yi said loudly: "Xu Ping, what Sun Jianyuan said is indeed something? You go out and defend yourself!"
Xu Ping agreed loudly and squeezed out of the crowd by the people who were in the gate.
After giving the ceremony, Xu Ping said: "There is indeed something, but it's not for the sake of jealousy."
Sun Zude sneered: "Why isn't it? I heard that the beauty of that woman has caused you to argue with Zhang Xin!"
"Chenyuan, even though you have heard the news, you can't make up stories. I obviously went ahead for other reasons."
"Who will believe you? Who in the capital doesn't know that your wife can't tolerate others. Of course, you have something to do with that woman and are afraid of her wife, so you keep it outside, and it ends up causing trouble!"
After hearing Sun Zude's words, Xu Ping's eyes widened, and his heart was really hard to describe. When did Lin Su Niang gain this reputation? He knew books and etiquette, but he became a well-known shrew in the capital?
"Sun Jianyuan, you can eat things randomly, but you can't talk nonsense! Do you know that your words just now were slandering the reputation of the two women. Where did you study? The reason why I went to stand up for that woman was because her father had worked under my hands for many years and was also for the court! When I first went to Yongzhou, her father Duan Fang was the magistrate of Ruhe County. The sugar sugar business was first developed step by step in Ruhe County. Later, the sugar sugar business moved to Taiping County, and Duan Fang was the magistrate of Taiping. I don't know how much effort he had spent in the past few years. That was a person who made contributions to the country! Do you know?"
Speaking of this, Xu Ping's voice also rose: "Duan Fang came to Beijing to report his duties, but was pushed by the public officials of the judges' court. Both the couple died and they were unable to enter the palace to meet you! I beat Zhang Xinyi because I had told him that the woman's father was an official who was a meritorious official in Yuguo. This woman was still filial and he was still entangled! Not only did I drive away the ignorant Zhang Xinyi, but yesterday he was also a Class 3 Academy and gave him a note.
Luzhou Army! In the six years of Yongzhou, the household registration has ranged from less than 10,000 to hundreds of thousands, and the money and grain has increased by a hundred times. These officials have done little by little. They have worked hard in the middle. It is unreasonable that their children in the capital are humiliated by powerful families! In Yongzhou, these officials are following me for their work. If I can’t even protect their children’s face, what will they have to face them? Wouldn’t they slander the court?”
"The censors are not making up stories casually! The matter is clear and clear, but it becomes like this in your mouth. When did the censors become sluts? Can they collude with goods and collude with shops? Is there any news about your censors? The magistrate of Weizhen Li Derun was retaliated by the provincial officials and hanged himself to death for many years. I have never seen your censors speak for him! I only went to the palace to spread these things like a slut, Sun Dianyuan, your censors are not good at this time!"
Li Derun is from Jeju. He was jointly accused by the state officials of corruption and accepted bribes by the state officials and hanged himself in prison. Because Xu Ping was familiar with Shi Yannian from the Yi Party of Dongzhou, his family reported him to him. Since the materials of the case have not been sorted out and have not been reported yet, they have simply filed it together. To be continued.
