Chapter 427 426 Continue to impeachment?

On the night when the Yu Prince's Mansion was secretly discussed, Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng went to Xu Ge Lao's Mansion to discuss the impeachment.

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's story, Xu Jie realized from the beginning to the end that he could give it a try, and it was even an opportunity to test Emperor Jiajing's wishes.

If Emperor Jiajing had no intention of touching Yan Song, then the impeachment of Wu Peng they initiated would have been the same as before. But if Emperor Jiajing had planned to change the chief minister, then cutting out Wu Peng would be a must.

It is impossible for an official to achieve the role of Xu Jie to say that he does not want to replace Yan Song.

Moreover, Xu Jie also discovered from some details that it seemed that Yan Song's holy family had already declined and was on a downward verge.

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to contact Liang Menglong to arrange this matter."

Wei Guangde proposed that the impeachment candidates were appropriate. The Department of Personnel impeachment of the Ministry of Personnel could not say anything wrong. It was reasonable than asking the Censor to impeach the Censorate from the Censorate.

Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng bid farewell to leave the Xu Mansion, and the next step is to wait for the result of impeachment.

On that night, Yin Shidan also went to Gao Gong's mansion and told Gao Gong about the news that Prince Yu's mansion planned to propose to Xu Ge Lao and mobilized the Personnel Department to impeach Wu Peng, the Minister of Personnel.

"Wu Peng?"

Gao Gong stroked his beard and thought for a while. After some calculation, he felt that there would be no serious problem.

These days, the senior officials of the dynasty were a little nervous. The Censorate was temporarily unaccused because of Zhou Yan's complaint. All the censors were studying who to impeach. Fortunately, Emperor Jiajing showed his face in front of him, so as not to be considered as having a salary and not doing anything.

However, although the officials in the court were a little nervous about this, they were not afraid because they all knew that this was the reaction of Ke Dao because of Emperor Jiajing's reprimand.

Since the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, Gao Gong naturally would not object, so he nodded and said to Yin Shidan: "Zhengfu, Shandai's proposal is very good.

At the beginning, I wanted to bring him into Prince Yu's mansion and give advice to the prince, but now it seems that I really didn't misunderstand it.

I really didn't expect to target officials from Yan Song and initiate impeachment. Based on the instructions made by His Majesty, we can see whether King Jing's attitude towards Yan Song remained the same after he left Beijing."

"What Suqing means, may Your Majesty's attitude towards Yan Song change?"

Yin Shidan immediately grabbed Gao Gong's words and asked.

"It's hard to say now, but it's because it's hard to say that it's just right to use the impeachment of Wu Peng to see if His Majesty has changed."

Gao Gong said lightly, "As you said just now, Uncle Da was right, there will be a relatively big change in the six ministries and nine ministers in the court. If we operate properly, we will get one, and two positions will be good."

"This should be the opinion of Mr. Xu, who is better than uncle."

Yin Shidan said here, and saw Gao Gong wave his hand and said, "No matter whether this is Mr. Xu's opinion or uncle's opinion, it is all for the sake of King Yu.

Over the years, Mr. Xu has helped the royal palace a lot, and everyone knows this, and it is considered one."

The next day, Wei Guangde got news in Prince Yu's mansion that at noon, the memorial of Liang Menglong, the Minister of Personnel, impeachment of Wu Peng, the Minister of Personnel, was sent to the cabinet.

After receiving Liang Menglong's impeachment memorial, Xu Jie immediately transferred it to the chief assistant Yan Song.

However, Yan Song did not accept the memorial, but said to Xu Jie with a smile: "Since it is an impeachment memorial, the Secretariat will be distributed to Cunzhai, so it will be drafted by Cunzhai tickets. It is not a military and national event, and the cabinet needs to discuss and report it."

Who is Liang Menglong? He directly impeached the Minister of Personnel. Yan Song didn't believe that Liang Menglong had not informed Xu Jie in advance. At this time, he pretended to be here and really thought he was old and confused.

At this moment, Yan Song felt that Xu Jie was disgusting himself.

Although Xu Jie seemed to stand with him most of the time, Yan Song didn't know that he had accumulated a considerable force in his hands, but it was not enough to see in front of him.

At least, among the officials at the Shangshu level, although some people are closer to Xu Jie, they are not listened to Xu Jie. They are not like themselves, they can control the two departments of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works.

That night, Emperor Jiajing saw Liang Menglong’s memorial in Yongshou Palace.

When he heard the eunuch read out the memorial and ticket, Emperor Jiajing sneered on his face, "There are a lot of impeachment memorials these days."

Just a casual sentence, it felt very powerful, which made Huang Jin and Gao Zhong wonder if the emperor was a little impatient with the recent impeachment of the censor.

Think about it, is there any new meaning in this impeachment memorial I saw before?

It seems that they are all replayed in the old tune, and the frying is all the things they have said before.

Just when Huang Jin and Gao Zhong thought that the memorial to impeach Wu Peng this time was the same as before, Emperor Jiajing asked inadvertently: "The memorial said that since Wu Peng took over the Ministry of Personnel, justice has been blocked, and the promotion of wise ministers and mediocre officials has been put before the horse. Have you heard of it?"

Huang Jin and Gao Gaozhong heard it in their ears, and they were surprised and their faces became wonderful in an instant.

In normal times, what the emperor said was fine, but they would not over-interpret it. However, after the palace walls came out, the ministers outside might think a lot, but at this time, when Emperor Jiajing said such words, they could not help but think about the meaning of the emperor's words.

After saying that, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but look at Huang Jin.

"The emperor, I am always in Yongshou Palace. I don't know how the outside world evaluates Shangshu Wu. I just vaguely remember that there is indeed a memorial from Shangshu Wu."

Huang Jin replied slickly.

How could the Dongchang not know about the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel? And although Huang Jin was guarding the emperor, his ears were not deaf.

However, in this kind of issue that concerns important officials in the court, he has always adhered to the method of not expressing his opinion, so he only talks about what he could know in the palace. As for what Emperor Jiajing thinks, it is the emperor's business.

After hearing this, Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly, then looked at Gao Zhong, and his eyes also meant to ask.

Although Gao Zhong is also a big shot in the inner court, he only spends one or two hours in Yongshou Palace all day long. Compared to Huang Jin, he naturally knows much more about the outside world.

Gao Zhong naturally understood this, so his answer could not be like Huang Jin, who directly played Tai Chi and kicked the ball back to the emperor.

But how to answer?

If you say no, it seems to be a bit deceiving the king. If you say yes, you will offend Yan Song.

In Gao Zhong's eyes, Wu Peng is really nothing. He values ​​the backer behind Wu Peng more.

Although the inner court has a lot of contact with the emperor and is even more trusted by the emperor, Yan Song is not a vegetarian.

This old man's position in the heart of Emperor Jiajing may be only a few people like Huang Jin, Zhu Xizhong, and Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, who are still far behind him.

After a quick weighing, Gao Zhong still said, "I have heard someone say this before."

"Oh, Wu Peng is really so stupid in serving in the Ministry of Personnel?"

Emperor Jiajing frowned and then asked.

"I naturally don't understand the major affairs of the court, but I just vaguely remember hearing people evaluate Shangshu Wu like this."

Gao Zhong said this, in his opinion, he should be able to deal with Emperor Jiajing. Otherwise, how could he say that the current Minister of Personnel is Wu Peng in name but actually Yan Shifan, the young master of the cabinet?

Gao Zhong didn't want to offend the Yan family to death. What he said today was hard to say that it would be spread to Yan Song the next day. Yan Shifan wouldn't have offended them.

Before Yan Song's sage family was lost, the eunuchs in the inner court were unwilling to offend him. This is also the main reason why Yan Song and his son dared to be rampant in the capital.

"It seems that Wu Peng can't continue to serve as the Heavenly Officer of the Ministry of Personnel."

Emperor Jiajing spoke in a faint tone at this time, and then said to Gao Zhong: "I will draw an order to order Wu Peng, the Minister of Personnel, to retire."

"Abide by the order."

Gao Zhong held back the panic in his heart and hurriedly agreed, and then recorded the statement of Emperor Jiajing just after Liang Menglong's memorial.

However, it seems that it is not over yet.

Gao Zhong, who had just finished recording, looked up and saw Emperor Jiajing taking two deep breaths, as if he was making an important decision. For a moment, he didn't dare to make a grand sound, and the brush in his hand could only continue to hold it in his hand, as if he was worried that the action of holding the pen would make noise and affect the emperor.

"well"

Emperor Jiajing suddenly sighed, then turned to Huang Jin and said, "The memorial of Li Donghua's impeachment of Wu Shan, I will be dug out and processed together."

Ignoring Huang Jin's surprised expression, he turned to Gao Zhong and said, "Let the Minister of Rites Wu Shanguan take a leisurely place."

Wu Shan was not asked to retire and live in vain like Wu Peng. He seemed to retain the position of Minister of Rites, but those who were familiar with the official positions of the Ming Dynasty knew that it was actually deprived of Wu Shan's power to take over the power, or in other words, Wu Shan only retained the title of Minister of Rites, but no longer had his actual position.

But this is not the most important thing. In less than a moment, the Ming Dynasty suddenly had two positions as ministers.

It can be imagined that after the memorial is issued tomorrow, the ministers of the court will not fight for these two positions.

Of course, on the second day, Wei Guangde received news that the two second-rank official positions of the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel were vacant.

Although the decree has just arrived in the cabinet and has not been officially issued, the news spreads at an extremely fast speed.

What he planned the day before yesterday had a result the next day. After receiving the news, Yin Shidan planned to Zhang Juzheng's lecture and discussed it with them.

"The result of this impeachment is really a bit unexpected."

Yin Shidan handed the note that was remembering the news to King Yu, who looked unbelievable at this time.

Wei Guangde's idea was that there was no harm in his mind, but he didn't expect any benefits from it. It was not until yesterday that Yin Shidan passed on Gao Gong's words that he realized it later.

"this"

King Yu shook the note in his hand, looked at Yin Shidan, and then Wei Guangde, and hesitated: "If you understand this, does that mean that the father no longer likes Yan Song? Are we looking for someone to impeach Yan Song and his son to try it?"

A few years ago, King Yu was bullied by Yan Shifan. Although Yan Song was very kind to him every time he met Yan Song, he would not forget what Yan Shifan did to him.

Why is Yan Shifan so unscrupulous? Isn’t it because of Yan Song, the father?

Yan Song pretended to be a good person in front of him, and Yan Shifan was a bad person behind his back. Prince Yu did not believe Yan Shifan's behavior as Yan Song would not know.

Since you, Yan Song, don’t know how to teach your children, it’s just indulgence.

Therefore, the more humble Yan Song showed in front of King Yu, the deeper King Yu hated his father and son. These two fathers and sons were acting in front of him and playing tricks on him.

At this time, thinking about the strategy that Wei Guangde had just used, the first thing that King Yu thought of was naturally to copy and find someone to impeach Yan Song.

In this matter, King Yu still knew that his judgment could not be accurate.

Although he was the one who decided on the matter in the palace in the end, Gao Gong recognized it. He knew that his shortcomings were really not his strengths.

After unable to express his thoughts, King Yu looked at others habitually, but his eyes soon turned from Yin Shidan to Wei Guangde.
