Rise From the Humble

Zhu Ping'an kicked off the work-for-relief program in Jingnan, leading hundreds of thousands of people and refugees in Jingnan to become China's earliest infrastructure madmen, digging for water conservancy, building bridges and paving roads, building city walls, and building anti-Japanese outposts.

While other counties were ravaged by floods and were weeping and struggling in despair, Jingnan was full of vitality and changing with each passing day. The faces of both the common people and the refugees were full of hope. They had food to eat every day, and they were living in poverty every day. If you are rich, your whole body seems to have endless strength.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind is not stopping. When Zhu Pingan led the people of Jingnan to vigorously provide work for relief, one impeachment memorial to Zhu Pingan was written one after another, and in some cases, openly or covertly, publicly or privately, or in his heart or mind With the help of the officials who were instructed by others, they flew into the Forbidden City like snowflakes.

In fact, the first impeachment memorial was written by the new Taiping County Magistrate. A few days ago, he submitted the official document exposing Zhu Ping'an's "collusion with grain merchants, driving up grain prices in Jingnan, and seeking huge profits" to Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun. After waiting for a few days, there was no news from the governor. After asking about the relationship, it is said that after seeing it, the governor was furious at first. Later, because he was worried about Zhu Ping'an's meritorious service in fighting the Japanese, and that Zhu Ping'an's teacher was Xu Jie, the old man of the imperial court, he ignored it and said he had waited. It will take a while for the situation in Jingnan to get out of control, and the relevant situation will be settled, and then Zhu Ping'an will be dealt with. Huh, wait a while, wait a while, the day lilies will be cold! Is the Palace Master trying to protect Zhu Ping'an? !

So the magistrate of Taiping County became angry, and he contacted his friend who was in the same year as the same year in the same department and the Nanjing official Liu Wannian.

The magistrate of Taiping County could not directly submit a letter to the Holy Emperor. If he submitted the letter through the General Affairs Bureau, he was worried that it would waste time and cause long nights. He was also worried that Zhu Ping'an's advisor Xu Jie would have influence on the General Affairs Bureau, so he wanted to submit the letter through Liu Wannian.

Liu Wannian was an official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although he was only a seventh-rank official, he was still an official with great power. They did not need to be responsible to any department. They were only responsible to the emperor. Not only did they have the power to participate in and discuss government affairs, they also enjoyed The power to supervise and impeach the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the impeachment memorials can be directly heard by the emperor.

Therefore, Taiping County Magistrate found Liu Wannian and showed Liu Wannian the official document issued by Zhu Pingan with the seal of Jingnan Magistrate.

As a member of the government, if you don’t impeach officials and make some noise, what else can you do?

As a government official, if you don't impeach officials or make some noise, how can you attract attention? !

As a government official, how can we achieve results without impeaching officials or making some noise? !

As a government official, if you don't impeach officials or make some noise, how can you step into the high road of promotion? !

As a minister, Liu Wannian has always had a dream of "a memorial to sway the government and the public, and he will rise to power and sit in the high hall"! After receiving the handwritten letter from my friend, the magistrate of Taiping County, and the accompanying official document defining grain prices in Jingnan, I was so happy that I couldn't help but shed two lines of excited tears. I was so sleepy that someone gave me a pillow.

Liu Wannian was no stranger to the name "Zhu Ping'an". To be precise, he was no stranger to every official in the official circles of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and South Zhili. In the dream of "moving the government and the public, rising to power and sitting in high halls", he had investigated and understood the background of these officials. Only by knowing the enemy and knowing yourself can you be victorious in every battle.

Zhu Ping'an, the youngest number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, was tutored by Xu Jie, the elder of the court. He became famous when he first entered the officialdom. In less than half a year, he was promoted to the fifth rank as a lecturer in Prince Yu's Mansion. He received several impeachment letters. The memorial, without missing a beat, pulled down dozens of officials, inspected the Taicang bank naked, and more than a thousand officials were punished. It instantly became famous and was known as the "No. 1 Memorial of the Ming Dynasty"; it is said that Qingci's skill is not inferior to others. He wrote eight-legged poems and presented Qing Ci, and won the hearts of saints many times. Later, he was involved in the case of Yang Jisheng impeaching Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and offended Mr. Yan Ge. He hated the Holy Emperor and was demoted to the county magistrate of Jingnan. I originally thought that Zhu Pingan was just a comet in the officialdom, which suddenly became bright for a while and then fell, never to turn around again. Who would have thought that Zhu Ping'an would quietly make great contributions to the fight against Japanese invaders during his tenure in Jingnan. He defended one city and captured another, and beheaded more than 800 Japanese pirates. When the news arrived in the capital, Long Yan was so happy that he shocked the capital. Due to his meritorious service, he was promoted to the rank of fifth-rank official, and he is now regarded as a hot newcomer in the officialdom.

Impeach such an official who has stirred up the turmoil in the capital, is famous in the heart of the Holy Emperor, and is a hot topic!

Didn’t I, Liu Wannian, become famous all of a sudden? !

Zhu Pingan!

You are truly God-given to me!

Although there was no word for popularity in ancient times, the principles were the same. Liu Wannian also knows this well.

Therefore, Taiping County Magistrate and Liu Wannian hit it off. Within one night, a memorial to impeach Zhu Pingan was released. Liu Wannian presided over the impeachment, and the deputy magistrate of Taiping County signed the memorial.

A letter to the Nine Heavens.

Soon, this first memorial to impeach Zhu Pingan was quickly delivered to the Forbidden City.

As soon as this memorial arrived in Xiyuan, it attracted great attention.

Someone in Wuyi Hall knew that Yuan Wei and Zhu Ping'an were not getting along, and after seeing this memorial, they immediately told Yuan Wei. After Yuan Wei saw the copy of the impeachment memorial, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment!

Zhu Pingan colluded with grain merchants, raised grain prices in the name of the government, and accepted bribes of more than 80,000 taels of silver from grain merchants? !

real or fake? !

Zhu Ping'an was so bold that when the flood victims in the south of the Yangtze River were in dire straits, he used the government's name to drive up the price of grain from 400 wen per stone to 2,500 wen per stone? ! This is not driving up food prices, this is plain robbery!

Is Zhu Ping'an so heartless? ! Regardless of the life and death of the people? ! No shame at all? !

After being demoted to Jingnan, he felt that his career was hopeless, so he simply gave up on himself and amassed money to enjoy life? !

It shouldn't be!

Last month, Zhu Ping'an was promoted to the rank of fifth-ranking prosecutor, Si Qianshi, because of his meritorious service in the fight against the Japanese!

Although I don’t understand it, the notice with the seal of Jingnan Magistrate defining the price of food in Jingnan cannot be fake!

In the face of a catastrophic disaster, he disregarded the life and death of the people, sought personal gain, and was caught!

Seeing his fateful enemy in such a predicament, Yuan Wei couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and then without hesitation stepped on ten thousand feet to spread the news widely, which helped the spread of Zhu Ping'an's impeachment in the capital. A lot of strength.

In addition to Yuan Wei, many strict party officials also regarded this memorial as a treasure and were pleasantly surprised. Zhu Ping'an, you have brought it upon yourself, how can we allow you to live!

With this impeachment memorial as an introduction, many impeachment memorials came in one after another, flying into Xiyuan like snowflakes.
