The fourth volume, the ninety-eighth chapter, the guilty conscience of being a thief

Yang Jisheng got Yang Cong's teachings and finally got some rules. He did not rush to impeach Yan Maoqing, but began to contact the righteous people in the court everywhere, preparing to give Yan Song a mess.

At this time, the court was not the world of corrupt officials, and of course, it was not the world of clear water. With Jiajing's "unremitting efforts", the court at this time was mixed and messy, with corrupt officials, clean officials, and fences who changed their minds when they saw the wind.

However, due to the influence of Yan Song, there are still many corrupt officials in the court at this time. Qingliu generally dares not impeach Yan Song because Yan Song is too dark and offended him, so he basically has no good ending.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty maintained a delicate balance, with corrupt officials and clear water doing their own things, and in normal times, there were basically few conflicts.

However, with Yang Jisheng's interference, the situation in the court would be different.

In the clear stream at this moment, there are actually many people who hate evil. The reason why they do not impeach Yan Song is not because they are afraid of death, but because they are meaningless.

They are not fools, and they also know Yan Song's methods. It is basically impossible to impeach Yan Song at this time. If they impeach him randomly, it is very likely that something happened to them before Yan Song could even get into trouble.

Who would do such a thankless thing?

Yang Jisheng took the lead, and this matter was different again. Everyone knows that Yang Jisheng is Yang Cong's favorite disciple. Yang Ming's lineage and Yan Song's party have fought one or two times. Although Yan Song had to live some advantage, the Yangming lineage was not dismissed from office and even sentenced to prison and died like others.

In other words, Yan Song had no choice but to deal with the Yangming lineage. Whether Yang Jisheng impeached Yan Maoqing or impeached Yan Song, it would be fine.

This lead will be fine, what are they afraid of?

The so-called law does not punish the public, and you can’t even deal with the “first criminals”, so what should we do if we “accomplices”!

So, Yang Jisheng's memorial was handed over, and the memorial to impeach Yan Song flew to the cabinet like snowflakes.

Yang Jisheng did not point the finger at Yan Song, and the main one he impeached was Yan Maoqing.

Yan Maoqing accepted bribes from salt merchants, marked the price of salt, and how much money each salt merchant paid, he has detailed records.

Yan Maoqing embezzled salt and attracted income, and made a private rule that one portion of salt led to two portions of salt. The salt merchant must hand over all the money sold to him according to his regulations.

Yan Maoqing forged official documents and withdrew border military food and salary, which led to insufficient supply of border military food and salary, leading to a mutiny.

All of these are true.

The memorials of others are different. Most of them impeach Yan Song, and there is basically no evidence.

Yan Song bought officials and sold officials. Official positions at all levels were clearly marked. Those who paid for the official positions could all rise to prominence regardless of their qualifications and achievements. Those who did not pay for the official positions would find it difficult to get promoted even if they had outstanding achievements.

Yan Song was a nepotist, his son-in-law Yuan Yingshu, his godson Zhao Wenhua, and his close confidants Yan Maoqing were all corrupt officials. They only knew corruption and did not know political affairs, but they secretly held high positions.

Yan Song covered the sky with his own hands. No matter how big or small the matter was, he needed his approval to do it. If there was any disobedience, a disaster would come to an end. Yan Song also made mistakes and complained about anything that would cause trouble. Any mistake would be punished by others. If he had made merits, he would secretly live there.

Yan Song deceived the emperor and did nothing. Everything he wanted was in the name of the emperor, saying that the emperor wanted to do this, and everything he did not want was also in the name of the emperor, saying that the emperor did not want to do this, so he could be said to be lawless and extremely arrogant!

Yan Song was accused of military merits. His eldest grandson Yan Feizhong defeated the enemy and won the victory in Guangdong and Guangxi to promote the custody of the place. Secondly, Sun Yan Hu defeated Qiongzhou and was promoted to the thousand households of the Jinyiwei. His eldest grandson and second grandson were all young children who had not yet dried up. How could he kill the enemy and make meritorious? The border affairs were abandoned because of Yan Song's actions.

Yan Song used his public tools for private use and eliminated dissidents. Zeng Xian, Governor of Xuanda, Li Rujin, and Xu Yingfeng, the secretary of the Secretariat, were all charged with being dismissed from office or even beheaded because he was unwilling to surrender or was unwilling to join him.

Yan Song had an affair with Japanese pirates, and the maritime merchants colluded with Japanese pirates to plunder the southeast, all of which were instructed by him, etc.

These are all facts, but few people can provide conclusive evidence.

Usually, no one dared to impeach Yan Song like this, but under Yang Jisheng's inspiration and guidance, these people were all willing to do so.

Their chaotic fists really made Yan Song dizzy.

Damn it, did these guys take the wrong medicine?

When Yang Jisheng's memorial was handed over, Yan Song felt a little numb. He really didn't expect that all the good things Yan Maoqing did were known, and the evidence was conclusive, so it was difficult to argue.

Of course he knew how much money Yan Maoqing had greedy and how much money he had respected him. If Yan Maoqing was imprisoned for this, he would be in big trouble. Once Yan Maoqing could not bear the torture, what would be given, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He hadn't figured out how to get Yan Maoqing out of guilt, and then, a memorial to impeach him came again.

These guys dare to say anything, and they all expose everything, both open and dark, some or nothing!

He was so scared that he was shocked and sweated coldly.

Of course he knew whether he did these things or not. If the emperor knew about them, that would be fine.

What should I do? I will tore all these memorials and prevent the emperor from seeing them?

If he dared to do this, he would probably die faster.

It is obvious that this was a retaliation launched by Yang Cong. He retaliated against him and kicked the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue of Nanjing Zhang Shiche to the Nanjing Censorate and replaced him with Yan Maoqing.

He had to do this because the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue was too much, and if he didn't control it, he wouldn't be able to greed for much money a year.

He also knew that this incident would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the Yangming lineage and even retaliation.

However, he did not expect that the revenge of Yangming or Yang Cong would come so fiercely.

This guy not only wants to pull Yan Maoqing off the horse, but also wants to clean up even him!

If he tore these memorials or deducted them and refused to show them to Jiajing, he would have been defeated by Yang Cong's "brainful plan". He was sure that if Jiajing had not seen these memorials, these people who submitted them would definitely rewrite a memorial, force him to force him to the palace, kneel outside the palace to force Jiajing to read the memorials they wrote.

In that case, Jiajing would definitely be unhappy. The person who impeached him would probably have no good results. He, the culprit, would be even more ruined.

Once Jiajing gets angry, that's amazing.

Therefore, it is definitely not feasible to destroy the memorial. Since Yang Cong has someone handed it over, he is not afraid of his destruction.

He still has the opportunity to quibble if he doesn't destroy it. If the memorial is really destroyed, it will be a guilty person. At that time, facing the angry Jiajing, he will probably not even have the opportunity to quibble.

What should I do?

He was really a little guilty at this moment. He really didn't want Jiajing to see these memorials, but he had to let Jiajing see these memorials.

What would Jiajing think after seeing these memorials?

It seems that there is no need to think about this, Jiajing will definitely be furious!
