The Ming Dynasty started with caution

In the Censorate, Jiang Yun and the other two spread out the impeachment letter and waited for Yan Chengjin to leave the court.

After ten years of hard study, they did not expect to be persecuted by traitors before being appointed as officials. Zhang Jiyu and Xu Tianxi were so angry that they wanted to die, but they could do nothing.

Jiang Yun asked: "I will be demoted to an official today. What are your plans, brothers?"

"My family has a business in Songjiang Prefecture. If the court is unfair, I will resign from this official uniform and take over the family business..." Zhang Jiyu said.

Jiang Yun was a little envious. His family had no background and would have to rely on selling paintings and calligraphy to make a living after being demoted.

Xu Tianxi seemed to have made a great decision and mustered up the courage to denounce: "Since you are leaving Beijing, why don't we impeach Yan Chengjin together and get rid of the harm to the court, and then it will not be too late to leave."

The air became quiet and no one responded.

The next moment, Zhang Jiyu and Jiang Wen widened their eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, and their faces suddenly changed in fear.

Yan Chengjin stood behind Xu Tianci and said calmly: "You actually had the slightest thought of impeaching me. You failed the first round of assessment."

Xu Tianxi was stunned, Jiang Yun and Zhang Jiyu stood respectfully by his side.

On the way back, Yan Chengjin heard what Zheng Qian said.

Jiang Yun copied the most, copying sixty-three times, while the other two only copied more than fifty times.

According to the normal speed of copying books, it is about this number, and there is no fraud.

Jiang Yun was the first to react: "Lord Yan said assessment, which means we don't have to be demoted out of the capital?"

"There is also a second round of assessment to test your understanding of copying impeachment. Before leaving today, write an impeachment."

Practical combat is the fastest way to learn.

Jiang Yun and the other two may have seen impeachment in Hanyuan, but there are still many differences between ordinary impeachment and professional impeachment.

Zheng Qian is the only one left in the Censorate, so Yan Chengjin can only teach.

Hearing that copying impeachment is just an assessment, Jiang Yun and the other two felt a sense of joy after surviving a disaster.

Isn't it too easy to write an impeachment letter a day?

The three of them smiled at the same time and bowed slightly to Yan Chengjin: "Who do you want to impeach?"

"Three people in the cabinet."

The voice was very ordinary, just like buying a cabbage on the street, without any waves.

Jiang Wen and the other two had stiff faces and blank minds. Not to mention that the three officials were powerful and had a good reputation in the court, there was no one to impeach.

"Why do you want to impeach the cabinet?"

"Because there are three of them, and you are also three people."

Jiang Yun was like a fool and couldn't speak for a long time. Xu Tianxi and Zhang Jiyu were not much better.

Can this be a reason?

You and His Majesty are the same person, why don't you impeach His Majesty?

Xu Tianxi and the other two's good impression of Yan Chengjin disappeared in an instant.

"Xu Tianxi impeached your mentor Li Dongyang, and the other two were free to distribute. Before the hour of You, hand in the impeachment letter to this official."

After speaking, Yan Chengjin returned to the duty room.

Zheng Qian secretly rejoiced that when he came, Lord Dai Shan was in charge of the Censorate and was not so strict.

Xu Tianxi was stunned. He actually asked him to kill his mentor. It was really vicious!

Zheng Qian sighed and advised them: "I have been with Lord Yan for a long time and have never seen him make mistakes. Lord Yan must have his reasons. Being impeached is nothing. Go and write it."

As long as there is no serious crime, impeachment is just a punishment.

Sometimes, for the sake of performance, the Censorate will also impeach some honest officials.

For example, if they are too honest, after reaching a certain level of reputation, the court stipulates that they must take a carriage when going out, but they take a sedan chair, and so on.

Jiang Yun and the other two returned to the duty room and racked their brains to think about how to impeach the cabinet.

If the memorial is submitted, the Censorate will be pushed to the forefront, right?

Zhang Jiyu frowned and said, "Sir, Xie is also the Minister of War. Brother Jiang will be responsible for impeaching the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice. You will do it, and I will do it for Mr. Liu."

Jiang Yun had no objection.

Recalling the impeachment documents copied last night, various writing templates came to mind.

The three of them pondered for a moment, and then took up their pens one after another, writing on the booklet.

Yan Chengjin was in the duty room, drinking wolfberry tea, and instructing Zheng Qian to review the memorials sent back from the two capitals and thirteen roads.

The Jinyiwei ran out to report to Mou Bin.

Since Yan Chengjin was not opposed, they usually monitored him closely, unless Yan Chengjin went to the toilet or returned home.

"Sir, Yan Chengjin asked the three newly promoted censors to impeach the cabinet."

Mou Bin was surprised: "Why?"

"It is said that the cabinet has exactly three people, and it is difficult to assign to impeach other yamen."

This... It is indeed a wise nephew, even considering this point.

Mou Bin decided to send someone to inform His Majesty and the cabinet to prevent His Majesty from being caught off guard.

It has been a long time since anyone impeached the cabinet. The only time Liu Gong was impeached was by the censor of the Ministry of Revenue in the 12th year of Hongzhi. Liu Gong rejected his memorial and was impeached for blocking his speech.

Time in the palace is always long.

Yan Chengjin carefully read the Great Ming Law revised by Wang Shouren.

Sure enough, the law revised by Wang Shouren was humane. He did not kill with one stick like Zhu Yuanzhang. He dealt with it in several situations.

Xinxue is a subject that can be applied in many fields.

The red light of the setting sun shone in from the window. It was almost time to go off duty.

Zheng Qian took the impeachment letter and came to the duty room: "Sir, they have finished writing, and I will send it to Fengtian Hall?"

"When did I say that I would present it to His Majesty? Do you want to kill me?"

"??? Zheng Qian.

Yan Chengjin took the impeachment letter, flipped it open and took a few glances, and each of them borrowed from the impeachment writing of the local censor.

It can barely be regarded as a scraping impeachment letter.

Jiang Wen and the other two waited anxiously outside the duty room, wondering if they would hand it over to His Majesty...

"My lord calls you in."

Jiang and Wen walked into the duty room and saw Yan Chengjin burning the bullet.

Sure enough, it was just an assessment, and I took a breath of the best in my heart.

"Sir, I wonder how our assessment goes?"

"When you are a royal censor, you are taboo about adding fuel and jealousy to your bullets. This is one of them."

"It is also taboo to practice favoritism and malpractice. This is the second reason."

Yan Chengjin looked at Zheng Qian and asked, "What are you still taboo about? You can tell me on my behalf."

"It is also taboo to impeach the ministers." Zheng Qian spoke out the unspoken rules of the past and taught them to his three juniors.

Yan Chengjin nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at Jiang Yun and the others again: "You are qualified. I will conduct random inspections from time to time."

Passed?

Jiang Yun's eyes filled with tears, and he was so excited that he bowed to Yan Chengjin.

Although Xu Tianxi and Xu Tianxi were not willing to be censors, it was probably a good thing to stay in the capital. They bowed slightly to Yan Chengjin.

Zheng Qian shook his head secretly and felt sad for the three Hanlins. You are happy too early. The days of excruciating pain are still to come.

Fengtian Temple,

After the Jin Yiwei reported, they exited the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment and looked at Liu Jian: "Although Yan Chengjin's bullets are good, he doesn't know how to control them. The Metropolitan Procuratorate involves yamen all over the world. How about appointing another veteran minister in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Liu Jian nodded. The three newly promoted Hanlin officials were also young people.

Ma Wensheng bowed his hands and said: "Wu Shun, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is good at writing ballads and is a third-rank official. He is just the right person to be promoted to the deputy censor of the capital."

Wu Shun is a native of Shanyin, Zhejiang Province. He was rated highly because of his year-end plan.

After Yan Chengjin impeached Jiao Fang and others from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wu Shun filled the vacancy.

Xie Qian frowned and thought hard.

In the area of ​​the Metropolitan Procuratorate, since Yan Chengjin became the censor, people have become officials every year.

Who wants to be the deputy capital censor?

"In this way, won't the Metropolitan Procuratorate have two deputy imperial censors?" Liu Jian asked.

Ma Wensheng said: "Wu Shun has no merit and no service. The officials cannot promote him to the second rank."

The censor of the capital is a second-grade official.

Yan Chengjin was the censor of the left capital, and Wu Shun was the censor of the right capital. There was no conflict.

And most likely, Yan Chengjin will become the new censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This son is very capable of making meritorious deeds.

Not long after, the eunuch in charge of rites brought the imperial edict to the Ministry of Personnel.
