Chapter 287: Over 7% of the Imperial Censors Dispatched
Emperor Zhaowen nodded unhappily.
Yang Ziliang said indignantly, "Your Majesty, I've heard that Fan Yunchuan is very fond of beautiful women, and he will basically snatch away any woman he likes.
Fan Yunchuan has been an official for more than 20 years, and there are no less than a hundred women in his house, which is comparable to... cough, it is really treasonous.
I have also heard that Xu Rui lives an extravagant life, using glass cups and ivory chopsticks as tableware, and his wife and daughters often adorn themselves with precious oriental pearls... Alas, if these things were exchanged for silver, the national treasury would be enriched."
Emperor Zhaowen looked unhappy. A mere Tongpan had touched the beauty of no less than a hundred women.
He had only more than thirty beauties in his harem, yet he was scolded by court officials every day for indulging in women.
Just because Emperor Yongle and Emperor Huiren had small harems, we can’t force him to become an ascetic monk, right?
And that Xu Rui, how dare he use things that are better than what the emperor uses?
Prime Minister Mu Ming glanced at Yang Ziliang.
The old man is quite good at exaggerating, but Fan Yunchuan and Xu Rui are doomed.
Sure enough, Emperor Zhaowen quickly gave the order to investigate!
On the day Chen Su left Shangyang Prefecture, Fan Yunchuan couldn't wait to start his first day as a prefect.
But when he first took the prefectural position, the first task he received was to investigate himself...
The Dali Temple staff had evidence in hand and only needed to verify it. Within a few days, the matter was completely revealed.
Fan Yunchuan was like a fire starter. All the officials in Shangyang Prefecture were investigated because of him.
Almost everyone was found to have committed corruption, bribery, and seizure of people's assets.
For a time, more than half of the official positions in Shangyang Prefecture were vacant.
Huang Lianchun didn't sleep well for several days. Finally, he found Liang Lu and returned the 50,000 taels of silver to him.
"Congratulations to Brother Liang for getting his revenge."
Liang Lu's eyes were red, and he looked as if God had a vision.
"Master Huang, this banknote is yours now that I have given it to you."
How dare I collect Coptis chinensis?
This is the Fan family's banknote.
These banknotes do not match his salary and family assets. If the Dali Temple investigates him, he will not be able to explain himself.
Liang Lu did not refuse and took it back.
Lin Yuwen is dead, and Fan Yunchuan did not mention Huang Lianchun about the pearl necklace and blackmail.
Huang Lianchun quickly took Liang Lu to Minzhou Prefecture.
There was great turmoil in the officialdom of Shangyang Prefecture and Changxing Prefecture, and Emperor Zhaowen looked very ugly during the morning court session.
Chen Su, who was attending court for the first time, was also a little nervous.
As a routine matter, the Ministry of Personnel and the Dali Temple reported the charges and sentences of the officials of Shangyang Prefecture and Changxing Prefecture to Emperor Zhaowen.
Emperor Zhaowen looked extremely unhappy, but in the end he had no choice but to approve everything.
With so many officials vacant, the Ministry of Personnel naturally has to choose successors.
Most of them are new Jinshi this year, and some are candidates who are already in the transfer range.
Emperor Zhaowen was too lazy to read it and threw it directly to Mu Ming.
Wei Ming took a quick look and his heart skipped a beat.
These candidates are all officials with good character and ability.
With Qian Weiwen's current abilities, he couldn't accomplish everything so comprehensively in such a short period of time.
It seems that after Li Jiren and Li Jixin came to Luocheng, those ministers who had retired earlier began to have doubts.
Wei Ming felt somewhat dissatisfied.
But he also knew that these were good candidates.
"Your Majesty, I have no objection. But why is the position of Shangyang Prefecture vacant?"
"Ok?"
Emperor Zhaowen took a look and found that the position of prefect of Shangyang Prefecture was vacant.
"Minister Qian?"
Qian Weiwen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend someone, but this person has retired. I hope Your Majesty can reinstate him at your discretion."
"who?"
"Yao Qiming, the former prefect of Shangyang Prefecture."
The air fell silent.
The Minister of Justice Cen Tao and the new Minister of Revenue Zhang Jingzhi looked at each other from a distance. Qian Weiwen was really brave today!
Emperor Zhaowen thought he had heard wrongly.
"Who?"
"Yao Qiming, the former prefect of Shangyang Prefecture."
Emperor Zhaowen's breathing became heavier.
Doesn’t Qian Weiwen know the relationship between Yao Qiming and the Qi family?
Emperor Zhaowen grabbed the inkstone at hand and wanted to throw it away.
Yang Ziliang quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the twenty-three censors from the Censorate are now kneeling outside the main hall."
"what?"
All officials were shocked.
There were a total of thirty-two people in the Censorate, from the Grand Censor to the Supervisory Censor.
Twenty-three people were dispatched today.
The Dayu Kingdom has been established for more than 400 years. Except for the period when the entire Censorate was mobilized during the reign of Emperor Xiaoxian, this is the first time that more than 70% of the censors were mobilized.
Emperor Zhaowen was so angry that his whole body was shaking. Seventy percent of the censors were kneeling outside the hall. If he couldn't handle the situation well, he would be known as a tyrant in history books in the future.
"Where's Fang Xuanren? Where's Fang Xuanren?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Fang is one of the imperial censors kneeling outside the palace."
"Let him in!"
"Call the Imperial Censor Fang Xuanren into the palace!"
Following the eunuch's voice, Fang Xuanren entered the hall and knelt in the court.
Emperor Zhaowen stared at him intently.
This Fang Xuanren wants to put the hat of a tyrant on his own head.
"Fang Xuanren, why are you and everyone from the Censorate kneeling outside the main hall?"
"Your Majesty, I wish to impeach Chen Su, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Chen Su's legs went weak. He had just arrived in Luocheng and encountered such a scene. Even though he was Emperor Zhaowen's uncle, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
Emperor Zhaowen laughed out of anger. Fang Xuanren first robbed his two purses and now wanted to impeach his uncle. What did he want to do?
"Fang Xuanren, you should know that although the Censorate has the function of supervising all officials, it cannot impeach anyone it wants.
If you don't have a reasonable excuse today, I will depose you just because you dare to bring so many imperial censors to stir up trouble."
Wei Ming sighed, thinking that it was impossible to support a wall with mud.
The court officials were speechless.
Even if the censor of Dayu State was responsible for negligence or misjudgment, as long as it was not a serious crime such as corruption, killing, treason, or disrespect, how could the emperor easily depose or enthrone him?
Fang Xuanren took a step forward with a serious look on his face.
"I have evidence. I wish to impeach Chen Su for failing to fulfill his duties since taking office in Shangyang Prefecture and for abusing his power for personal gain."
While Chen Su was serving as the magistrate of Shangyang Prefecture, he slandered Shangguan Yao Qiming to satisfy his selfish desires.
The Censorate conducted extensive investigations and confirmed that Lord Yao was an honest and upright official with absolutely no record of dereliction of duty. However, Chen Su's actions disheartened Lord Yao, prompting him to resign.
If this trend continues, it will lead other officials to follow suit, not only destroying harmony among colleagues, but also weakening the cohesion and execution of the court, and may even shake the foundation of the country. He deserves to be killed!
Chen Su was so angry that he was about to collapse, but he didn't dare to speak.
Fang Xuanren glanced at Chen Su, his eyes full of coldness.
"During his tenure as prefect of Shangyang Prefecture, Chen Su fabricated false pretenses and set up private expenses, turning the power of governance granted by the court into a tool for personal enrichment.
The people did not know that this was Chen Su's personal act, and they felt resentful towards the court.
"Chen Su, driven by his own selfish desires, disregarded the laws and dignity of the imperial court. He deserves to be killed!"
Chen Su couldn't stand anymore, he knelt on the ground trembling.
Fang Xuanren's speech speed became faster and faster, and the murderous intent in his tone became stronger and stronger.
"Chen Su, under the guise of gifts, engaged in corruption, amassing vast sums of assets and enriching himself. He deserves death!
Chen Su harbored corruption and corrupted official conduct, allowing officials under him to engage in corruption and plunder the people's property, wantonly exploiting the people and causing untold suffering. He deserves to be killed!
Chen Su has colluded with local bullies and lawless individuals to disrupt public order. He exploits his power to do as he pleases, disregarding the law and trampling over justice, leaving Shangyang Prefecture in a state of chaos and widespread public outrage. He deserves death!
Chen Su has single-handedly damaged the reputation of the imperial court and shaken the foundation of the nation. Today, I, the minister, have the audacity to expose Chen Su's misdeeds to the public. I hope the Emperor will see clearly and punish him severely!
Fang Xuanren shouted the last sentence particularly loudly.
Outside the hall, twenty-two imperial censors shouted in unison: "I hope the emperor will be vigilant and punish severely. Kill Chen Su and correct the national style! Kill Chen Su and correct the national style! Kill Chen Su and correct the national style!..."
