10.20 Controversy at the court and "routines" of impeachment

Two days later, every five days, there will be a great court meeting. Now the war in northern Jiangxi is still in an anxious stage. Basically, the government and the army have been defeated repeatedly. No, it's been a while since I've done it.

"Report to Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play!" After some useless procedures, as modern sand sculpture netizens said, the more people there are in a meeting, the more useless it is, "The minister impeached Ping Yuanhou, Jiangnan Admiral Wei Xu.

Now that the Jiangnan war is over, the Jiangnan army still has more than 6 people. It is useless and useless.I propose to Your Majesty"

"Pfft—" Wei Xu couldn't help laughing.

"Marquis Wei, is this funny?" The imperial emissary who didn't even deserve a name shouted very dissatisfied, "Although the lower official is impeached, it's for a national event."

"Okay." Wei Xu waved his hands impatiently, "Do you eat steamed buns?"

"Huh?" The envoy didn't follow the routine.

"How many to eat?"

"Marquis Wei, this is the same as what the officer said"

"Benhou asks you how much to eat!" Wei Xu cut off his drink, and it rang in the ears of the envoy like thunder.

"Three." The envoy answered subconsciously with a daze in his mind.

"Very good, since you can be full when you eat the third one, why do you still have to eat the first two?" Wei Xu asked with a sneer.

"Pfft——hahahaha!" The general's laughter immediately filled the entire court, while the civil servant's expression turned ugly.

"Why, Marquis Wei is playing tricks?" Because the status of the imperial envoy was too different, Li Shouyi, Minister of Rites, had no choice but to end, "Still can't answer?"

"Oh? This Marquis has no way to answer. After all, I can't discuss the important issues on the battlefield with a rotten scholar. What if I meet an all-rounder in civil and military affairs?" Wei Xu sneered disdainfully, mocking the civil servants for not understanding martial arts.

"You—" the dragon-set imperial envoy was very angry, "You are just a warrior, how do you know that?"

"This Marquis is Xie Yuan of the Jiangnan Township Examination in the 11th year of Yongzheng. I don't know what year, what subject, and what kind of fame is this gentleman?" Wei Xu interrupted him with a sneer.

"You're a juren." The dragon-set imperial envoy got stuck as soon as he said a word. The scene was full of good people. Everyone knew that Xie Yuan in the Jiangnan Township Examination could at least be equal to a Jinshi, and even the top three.

"You are just a fellow Jinshi, and you only got the position of imperial envoy because of your reputation as a teacher. What right do you have to bark here!" A military commander's side cover made up the knife in time, telling the cruel truth.

"Same Jinshi—" Wei Xu said with a smile, and deliberately drew a long tone, "Mrs. Ru!"

Now the generals' laughter almost overturned the roof, and no one on the civilian side dared to directly mention the disarmament of the Jiangnan Army, because now anyone with a brain can react, as long as this side dares to "disarmament", the other side will definitely "Repeated civil unrest".

"Marquis Wei..." Now Li Shouyi really had no choice but to confront himself.

"Li Shangshu, are you starting?" Wei Xu interrupted him unceremoniously.

"What's the meaning of Marquis Wei?" Li Shouyi immediately realized something was wrong.

"It's a common practice. When fighting, let the generals work hard. After the battle, you should play some 'flying birds and hiding their bows'. Isn't this the case in all dynasties?" Wei Xu smiled sarcastically, "I just don't know, this time you plan to What crime?"

"Hahaha, with Marquis Wei's achievements, it is natural to conspire to rebel, or to plot against the law. No matter what, he must be feeding tigers with ulterior motives, otherwise it will be difficult to punish him!" Shi Guangzhu laughed and took over the conversation.

"No, it won't." What no one expected was that Wei Xu denied it, "According to the usual practice, now that the war in northern Jiangxi is still going on, we must not make such a deadly move, but we should tear our mouths open first. Lay the foundation for future actions.

Your Majesty, I believe that the impeachment papers should have piled up into a mountain at this time. I don’t care who is on the papers, because this is against the rules. I just want to show the number of yesterday’s impeachment papers. Can you? ""allow! Emperor Yongzheng, who originally planned to watch the excitement, did not expect that Wei Xu would turn the question to him. Unable to figure out the routine, he could only agree to this simple request and waved his hand to Dai Quan to arrange for someone to bring up the impeachment memorial.

"Hey!" Just as the eunuchs brought the folders to the table, there was an uproar in the entire court, and even the civil servants felt ashamed.

At the same time, Emperor Yongzheng knew that he had made a mistake. He just hinted that the civil servants were playing tricks. He didn't expect them to play so fiercely. In just one day, there were more than [-] papers on impeachment.

"It's quite a lot." Wei Xu curled his lips in disdain, "Can you allow me to bother a few internal officials and classify these papers according to my request?"

"Is Marquis Wei planning to investigate the impeached officials and then retaliate?" Li Shouyi asked sullenly.

"If this Marquis asks the name of the person impeached or asks in disguise, it will be damned!" Wei Xu sneered and swore a heavy oath, then turned around and said to the ugly-faced civilian camp, "Because it's not important at all, and it's meaningless."

"Quite!" Emperor Yongzheng's face was not very good-looking, because the situation on the scene was obviously out of control, but he couldn't do anything. Wei Xu's request was not reasonable, but it was not too much. reject.

"Master Wei, you guys are all ready, please order!" Dai Quan's dead eunuch voice sounded in the hall in time.

"Thank you, old Prime Minister." Wei Xu smiled and cupped his hands, "According to the usual practice, since the imperial envoy impeached too many troops just now, he wanted to disarm the army. In the beginning, the impeachment must start from a small point, preferably the kind who Issues that cannot be denied or avoided, such as military discipline.

There must be many such memorials, right?After all, there are more than [-] soldiers in the Jiangnan Army. It is too easy to find a few cases that violated military discipline and even caused disputes. Please pick out the cases that simply say that military discipline is not good but there are no cases. "

The complexion of the civil servants suddenly sank, because that's what they did, especially when they saw the four little eunuchs quickly put aside more than ten copies of the book according to the request, their complexion became even worse.

"Master Wei is worthy of his fame." Dai Quan said with a half-smile, "Do you have any other requirements?"

"This kind of empty and pure word game is actually useless. The imperial envoy can hear about things, but it doesn't mean that he can fart casually, so these kinds of memorials are generally the kind of follow-up works, and some of them must be full of dry goods. Full.

Please ask the old internal minister to arrange someone to select it, pick out the documents that have clear instances of violation of military discipline and have a greater impact, and put them aside to see how many there are. "Wei Xu said with a smile.

"Yo, there are quite a few, and our family has gained a lot of knowledge." Dai Quan's smile was obviously gloomy, because he picked out another five or six copies this time.

"Hahaha, if this is these excerpts, at most it will be treated for a crime of laxity, and it will be over as soon as it is mentioned in the court. Lord Wei, I don't know what to do next?" Feng Tang laughed. Said.

"It's definitely not enough to argue with the court. After all, this kind of thing has always been said to be justified by the public, and it can't be implemented. At this time, local help is needed. After all, civil servants always 'plead for the people'. !

Please pick and choose among the old ones to see how many notebooks are mixed with complaints from local officials, civilians, gentry or similar things. There should not be too many, three to five copies are enough. "This time, before Wei Xu finished speaking, the corresponding memorial was picked out.

"Where are these enough, Wei Xian's nephew is a dignified Marquis of the dynasty, such an impeachment is at most nothing more than reprimanding and punishing him, and it is irrelevant at all!" After Wei Xu's guidance, the generals also reacted, and Niu Jizong immediately followed the prescription to grab the medicine.

"What Master Niu said is very true!" Wei Xu replied with a smile, "Most of the remaining ten or so copies should be empty nonsense, please arrange for the old inner minister to throw them all out, and there should be a few more in the end." share.

So much preparation has been made before, and it should be a fatal blow anyway. If there is no accident, even the local gentry, officials and people can no longer bear the Jiangnan Army, so it is natural to mention the matter of disarmament.

So, in the end, there must have been a few requests for the abolition of the Jiangnan Army, but it must have been specifically stated that this is just the wrong thing, and it will also require the retention of sufficient combat troops to prevent the rebellion of the rioters, right? "Wei Xu asked with a smile.

Dai Quan didn't speak this time, and after pushing all four young eunuchs aside, he personally looked through the remaining dozen or so memorials, basically throwing out one after a few glances, and soon there were only three left on the table. share.

"Wei Aiqing thinks there should be something more?" Emperor Yongzheng asked with a gloomy expression, he was very angry at the incompetence shown by the civil servants.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it should be gone today, but these are of no practical significance. At most, it is just a quarrel, which has no real impact on the humble minister. This requires the use of 'pleading for the people' again. That will be a matter for the next time.

If there are no accidents, a book of ten thousand words and a book of ten thousand people should be more reasonable and effective. After all, the army is harming the local area, which is shaking the foundation of the country and cannot be tolerated! " Wei Xu said with a sneer.

The face of the civil servant was almost gloomy!
