Chapter 215 Impeachment of Liu Jun's Twelve Crimes

Zhu Dadian sighed that Liu Jun is an anomaly, but it is indeed the case.∈◆,

At this time of the Ming Dynasty, the general officer had changed from temporary dispatch to a permanent position, and the general officer was on the front line of the Dushi. Not only did he break the system of special troops, but he also held comprehensive military and political power. In the past, the generals, deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, etc. also had jurisdictions, and they had great independence from each other, and each general could also restrain each other.

But now, the general has become the military commander of a town, and all military generals at all levels under the town are under his control.

It is precisely because of this that the court set up a governor above the general, and set up patrols and other roads under the jurisdiction of the military, military preparation, and food supervision roads, in order to restrict the general, control military affairs with civil and military affairs, and avoid the general from holding troops and self-respecting them.

At this time, the governors had basically all the military commanders, and had the power to mobilize troops and select generals to train troops. The responsibilities of the governors were mainly three: to follow the local area, inspect subordinate officials, and to supervise military affairs, that is, to govern the people, govern officials, and to govern the army. As the governor who took charge of the border officials in a town, the governor's authority was extremely high.

Except for civil and military imperial examinations, re-executions, improper punishments, unjust punishments, officials' decrees, and merits, and all the affairs of the governor shall be under the jurisdiction of the inspectors, and all other matters in the town shall be under his jurisdiction.

In particular, the governor controlled all aspects of a town through his subordinates.

The governor also has the power to dispatch, deploy, supervise and control the general.

Zhu Dadian and Liu Jun, one governor and the other general, were originally strict relationships with superiors and subordinates. Liu Jun, the general military man, had a very low status in front of Zhu Dadian, a civil servant, and it was normal to kneel down and make arrangements at will.

The relationship between the two is really abnormal now.

As the highest civil and military commander of Yunyang Town, Zhu Dadian could only command his fourth battalion to Pacificate the flag. Other tens of thousands of Yunyang Town soldiers who should have been under his jurisdiction, but he could not even get in and could not convey the orders. The soldiers and generals did not obey his orders at all.

This is completely contrary to the system.

But except for Fubiao Battalion, the soldiers and horses of other battalions did not listen to him as the governor. The same was true for the deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, guards, and generals.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Dadian could also control the military generals and horses below through food and money, but now the troops in Yunyang Town cannot get the food and money from the court, so they rely on their own to raise money. Liu Jun is in a state of great power and food and money are completely self-sufficient.

The most terrible thing is that the inspectors and military supervisors who were supposed to stand on the side of the governor were completely on Liu Jun's side.

Originally, the governor was the general and the general was the general, but now Liu Jun has become the general, and he, the governor, seems to have become a civil affairs officer.

In the end, there was only one way left, which was to submit a memorial to the court to impeach Liu Jun, hoping that the court could dismiss Liu Jun or transfer him.

As long as the court formally intervenes, Liu Jun will no longer be domineering unless he rebels.

Late at night, Zhu Dadian sat in the study, thinking hard about impeaching Liu Jun.

Finally, Zhu Dadian summarized Liu Jun's twelve major crimes in the impeachment memorial. First, after Liu Jun became the general town of Yunyang, his troops, money and grain were not managed, verified and supervised by the governor. Second, he killed soldiers indiscriminately and killed good people and made contributions. Third, he was stubborn and had no courtesy of ministers. Fourth, he invaded and stole money and grain from the army guards. Five, he opened a salt field privately and sold private salt. Six, he desecrated famous court instruments, privately granted official positions, and established his own party members. Seven, he plundered stolen money and was named generals, but he was actually a thief.

Eight, love to be lustful, ninth, contain bandits, raise bandits, and respect themselves. Tenth, build private weapons, secretly stockpile food and grass. Eleven, invade military camps. Twelve, set up prize tickets, gambling, and destroy the customs of the people.

Many of the twelve items that Zhu Dadian impeached Liu Jun were actually facts, and a few were framed. Originally, Zhu Dadian wanted to make a few more items and make up twenty-one or thirty-six items. Finally, I would like to forget about it. As long as the twelve items that he impeached, any one of them would be verified, Liu Jun would not be able to turn over.

The next day, Zhu Dadian called a confidant aide and asked him to bring a team of servants to the capital in person. On the same day, Liu Jun also sent Fu Qingzhu and his party to the capital at the dock. Li Chunjiang, Chen Zhenhui and other groups of scholars from the society accompanied by Fu Qingzhu were Li Chunjiang, Chen Zhenhui, and Liu Jun's third brother Liu Ying would also go to the capital with him to participate in next year's examination.

"I'll take the matter of the capital to ask Brother Fu." Liu Jun patted Fu Qingzhu's arm and said. Fu Qingzhu made an apology for Yuan Jixian and brought hundreds of scholars from Shanxi to Beijing to engage in activities. He was also familiar with the capital. This time, Liu Jun also specially arranged Liu Yunsheng to go to the capital with him. With the eldest son of the commander of the Jinyiwei, it would be more convenient to move in the capital.

"Don't be afraid of spending money. If you spend money, it will be useful." Liu Jun has a deep understanding of the officialdom of this era. Silver is easier than anything else. No matter whether you want to do something practical or not, it is better to give it to the people above. No matter how good you do, it is not as good as giving it to the silver.

Zhu Dadian's aides were driving in a light boat and drove all the way. It was much faster than Fu Shan and his team escorting hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Fu Shan and his team had just entered the Shuntian Prefecture area, and Zhu Dadian's aides had already entered the capital.

After the Shaoxing army entered Beijing, he first took the banknotes from the capital money house given by Zhu Dadian and took out tens of thousands of taels of silver. Then, according to the list given by Zhu Dadian, he gave money to the ministers in the court from house to house. Even Cao Huachun in the palace also collected 5,000 taels of silver.

After everyone had ordered the memorials of Zhu Dadian also came to Cao Huachun. Cao Huachun took five thousand taels of silver, replied, and then turned around and presented the memorial to the emperor.

That night, Cao Huachun was suddenly invited by Liu Qiao, commander of the Jinyiwei.

In a quiet and elegant courtyard in the capital, Cao Huachun came to the meeting in a sedan chair.

Liu Qiao stood at the door with a smile on her face.

Cao Huachun got out of the sedan chair and Liu Qiao stepped forward to support him.

"Military Liu is so happy today. Please come here."

One of them is now the admiral of the East Factory and the other is the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he is also the most trusted person around the emperor. In public, the two have no personal relationships, but today Liu Qiao invited each other, and Cao Huachun still came here happily.

"I have a banquet to invite you to listen to my father-in-law's teachings. By the way, I would like to introduce my sons and nephews to see you today."

"We are ministers in the same palace, and we are all confidants of Your Majesty. There is no need to say more polite words. We should take care of each other in the future." Cao Huachun said with a smile. When he came along the way, he had almost guessed the purpose of Liu Qiao's invitation.

He has read the memorials of Zhu Dadian before, and the whole chapter is full of words impeaching Liu Jun, the general of Yunyang. Liu Jun is Liu Qiao's nephew. In addition, the spies from the East Factory reported that a team from Yunyang had just entered Beijing. He was led by Liu Jun's senator Fu Shan and guerrilla general Liu Yunsheng. Among them, Fu Shan is also the disciple of Yuan Jixian, the current governor of Huguang, and Liu Yunsheng is Liu Qiao's eldest son.

"Eunuch Cao, let me introduce you to two juniors. This is Fu Shan, the general of Yunyang, and the favorite student of Governor Yuan of Huguang. He is now the central officer of Zhennan Hou. This one is Dog Zi Yunsheng."

"Students pay homage to Eunuch Cao." Fu Shan and Liu Yunsheng stepped forward to greet each other. Although Fu Qingzhu did not like eunuchs and eunuchs, he remembered the tasks assigned by Liu Jun and still maintained a respectful attitude at this time.

"Oh, two promising young people, not bad." Cao Huachun smiled. Recently, the situation changed suddenly, and the power of the Lin Party members in the Middle East of the North has greatly improved, especially among the people from Huguang, who are very loyal to the saints. Cao Huachun is familiar with these changes, so he came to Liu Qiao's invitation today and showed great affection for Fu Shan and Liu Yunsheng.

"This is a little gift from our Marquis to the Admiral."

Fu Shan gave him a gift list. Cao Huachun opened it and saw that he was surprised and surprised. He had 50,000 taels of silver.

"Hahaha, Zhennan Hou is really interested. Your Majesty often praises Zhennan Hou. Our family has long been famous and is eager to meet Zhennan Hou's capital in the future."

Money can make the devil push the mill, 50,000 taels of silver, immediately made Cao Huachun very satisfied with Liu Jun, the newly-moved young marquis. There are really not many young people like this, especially so generous.

With this gift, we naturally had a happy conversation, and both sides finally returned with satisfaction.

For several days, Fu Shan and Liu Yunsheng gave gifts in Beijing, including the eunuchs in the East Factory, the eunuchs in charge of the seals, Cao Huachun, the governor of the Beijing camp, gave 50,000 taels, Wang Chengen, the eunuchs of Bingbi, 20,000 taels, Liu Qiao, 20,000 taels to the commander of the Jinyiwei, Yao Minggong, 20,000 taels to the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and 20,000 taels to Zhou Yanru, and then to the six ministries and the thirteen censors, basically everyone had a share, and each gave a sum of silver.

For a moment, the reputation of Liu Jun, the Marquis of Zhennan, in the capital was so popular that everyone praised him, and even received the title of a boy with money.

It turned out that those who received the Zhu Dadian silver had already prepared memorials to impeach Liu Jun. At this time, they were lenient and burned the draft memorials one after another. Some people burned the memorials and returned the silver sent by Master Zhu Dadian. They didn't take any money without doing anything. These people were still somewhat principled, and some people did not intend to impeach Liu Jun, but they did not intend to return the silver they received.

Zhu Dadian's master was waiting in the capital and investigated the situation of the court meeting every day. As a result, no one impeached Liu Jun. Even Zhu Dadian's memorial was not heard at all, as if he was like a muddy cow, and there was no trace. The master went to various mansions that had given gifts to inquire, but almost all were turned away.
