Chapter 101 Impeachment

Under Yan Shifan's advocacy, the Yan Party launched the impeachment of Zhou Mengchen.

Generally speaking, the showdown between the two sides starts with small minions. From a small case, she peels off the cocoon, lifts it up little by little, and then involves the big man. But this time it is very unusual. Yan Song wants to establish his authority, but he has not taken the ordinary path at all, and directly points the finger at Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen did not show any weakness and immediately made a self-dispute.

Generally speaking, after being impeached, the ministers have to defend themselves and resign from their posts to be impeached. However, Zhou Mengchen's self-defense memorial was not self-defense memorial, which is clearly a ten major crimes for impeaching Yan Song. Zhou Mengchen's memorial was written by Xu Wei. Since Yan Song's injustice, he first said that Yan Song was a moral issue. Then he was unable to do his ability and put the trouble of capturing the Japanese in the north and south on Yan Song's head. Adhering to these two principles, he has drawn out many of the Yan Party's recent handles one by one. Zhou Mengchen may not be clear about some things, but Xu Jie must be clear about them. With Xu Jie provided information, Xu Wei's article almost completely removed Yan Song from top to bottom.

It can be said to shake the world.

Why do you say so?

Just as I said before, the order of overthrowing big names starts with small officials and rises step by step. This is true for Zhou Mengchen, and even more so for top civil servants like Yan Song.

Zhou Mengchen's status and personal impeachment can be said to be the biggest crisis Yan Song encountered after Li Mo.

Moreover, the reason why big men do things starts with the impeachment of small officials is actually leaving room for each other. After all, when you want to defeat others, you must first think about one question, that is, what if you can't defeat them?

If you don’t end up with yourself, if things fail, you will naturally have a buffer. If you throw away a few abandoned children, you will still be safe.

And like Zhou Mengchen's fate, it means he will never die and be in harmony. There will inevitably be a humanitarian fall.

Xu Jie didn't hide himself at this moment.

Xu Jie did not take action, but let the censors led by Lin Run take action. For a time, the court impeached him and was clearly divided into two factions, one was stricter and the other was overwhelmed by Zhou. Xu Jie gained the greatest benefits instead.

Why do you say so?

Because the above mentioned, the rules of the Ming Dynasty generally require suspension of office and participation when impeached.

But rules are rules, things are things, and big men like Yan Song are exceptions. This is understandable. After all, there are too many people in the world who dislike Yan Song. If Yan Song is impeached and Yan Song is suspended, then will he still be able to do the job. The same is true for the same problem, as Xu Jie.

Yan Song can just say that if the official position is too low, he can just say that.

But Zhou Mengchen is not an ordinary person. People in the world cannot regard Zhou Mengchen as an ordinary person. Zhou Mengchen's impeachment that suppresses his political career and even his wealth and life cannot be ignored.

Yan Shifan was even more shocked by this situation.

In Yan's mansion, Yan Shifan paced back and forth and said, "Old man, how dare Zhou Mengchen? How dare he?"

Yan Shifan worked in the court and was invincible. Although Yan Shifan had good skills, more importantly, he had Yan Song behind him. Therefore, he dealt with almost all ministers in an unequal way. There were many such things that were invincible. Yan Shifan felt that he was the world's number one party expert. No one was his opponent.

However, Zhou Mengchen's fighting style of fighting with the death to the death made Yan Shifan feel a little panicked.

Yan Song lay on the spring stool, as if he was not sleeping. He seemed to have not heard Yan Shifan's words.

Yan Shifan said, "Old man, something big happened. Zhou Mengchen is desperate. What should we do?"

Yan Song has never encountered impeachment. Anyone who dares to impeach Yan Song will not have any good ending. But Zhou Mengchen is too big this time. To put it bluntly, Zhou Mengchen has a title of Shangshu, and only a few officials at the level of Shangshu in the Ming Dynasty, no more than twenty. None of them were given for nothing.

In addition, Zhou Mengchen came with great achievements and immediately impeached Yan Song, which made people feel very familiar.

That’s right. Liu Jin was killed by Yang Yiqing today.

After Yang Yiqing quelled the rebellion of King Anhua, he returned to the capital to join forces with the eunuchs in the palace and launched a fatal blow to Liu Jin.

Yan Song said: "What a panic? Before a person is temporarily in trouble, he will inevitably struggle a few times. It's nothing."

Yan Shifan said: "This is all Xu Jie's trick. If you don't ask for a suspension of your post and wait for participation, the situation will be detrimental to us. If you suspend your post, Xu Jie will be the agent of the cabinet. Isn't this killing us?"

Yan Song said, "Have you all come to Li Ben and Wu Peng?"

Yan Shifan kicked the servant beside him and said, "Why don't you go and inquire?"

"Yes." The servant beside him said immediately. After a moment, he immediately returned and said, "It has arrived."

Yan Shifan said, "You may not ask for it now."

Yan Song said: "Let Li Ben come here first."

A moment later, Grand Secretary Li Ben came over.

Yan Song grabbed Li Ben's hand and said, "I won't do this time, my children and grandchildren are unworthy. Please take care of me in the future."

Li Ben was shocked and said, "Where is the Prime Minister's words? The court cannot do without the Prime Minister."

Yan Song looked tired and looked old, even his voice seemed to be much older, and he said, "People should be convinced. I actually thought about resigning, but Your Majesty nostalgia, and I had no choice but to delay it until today. Who knows Xu----" He seemed to be speechless, omitting the words behind and continuing, "He doesn't want to give me a good end. Today's situation is that I, Yan, don't know how to advance and retreat, and I have no other way. I just hope that Brother Li, looking at our years of friendship, will take care of my disciples in the future. It can be regarded as the last help from me, the old man, to give them some help."

Li Ben's heart moved. The political resources of the strict party were very huge wealth for Li Ben.

Compared with Xu Jie, Li Ben is inherently deficient.

Although Xu Jie was promoted quickly, he learned from his heart and pulled out his own team. Xu Jie spared no effort to cultivate his students, which could be considered as opening up his wings. In addition, many of Yan Song's actions were disliked by countless people and joined the Xu Party.

This formed a huge force that was second to the Yan Party, but was spread all over the government and the opposition.

Li Ben has been a senior citizen for not a year or two. But over the years, the candidates for the smuggling were still three or two big cats. To a certain extent, he was not as good as Zhou Mengchen's.

An official position is an official position. How much power can be held in this official position is personal ability.

This cannot be said that Li Ben is incompetent. He is really between the two big bosses and has no room for a third party to grow. Li Ben is put in the air and has no room to develop his own power.

Now that Li Ben has fought between the chief minister and the secondary assistant, how could Li Ben have thought about his future?

Li Ben naturally wanted to survive Xu Jie and become the throne of the chief assistant. Li Ben had never thought of killing Yan Song and Xu Jie together, and becoming the chief assistant himself. He knew that he was not as good as the two big bosses, so he still had this idea of ​​self-knowledge.

But he also had some estimates of Yan Song's age. Yan Song could pass this year, and the future was also very lingering. As for the Yan Song era after the cabinet, Li Ben also felt a little worried.

According to Jiajing's convention.

After Yan Song fell, Xu Jie was the chief assistant, so he would definitely have a minister to check and balance Xu Jie. Li Ben did not have much confidence in whether he could balance Xu Jie. However, if he now had a good relationship with Yan Song and accepted the Yan Party's plague in the future, he might not be able to face Xu Jie.

Because from the beginning, Li Ben never felt that he was worse than Xu Jie, he just felt that the person he had carried was far inferior to Xu Jie.

Seeing this, Yan Shifan understood it and said, "Uncle Li, my nephew will ask Uncle Li in the future. I would like to take care of my nephew for the sake of the previous relationship. If there was any enemy I offended before, my nephew apologized to Uncle Li here."
