Chapter 1326 Dismissal
Now the royal relatives and military generals have returned the military farms and accepted the punishment. At this time, your civil servant system dares to fight against Luo Xin?
Isn’t this uncomfortable feeling?
This is how people are. They can’t stand others’ goodness. I’m in trouble, so why don’t others be unlucky?
At that time, royal relatives and military generals will join Jiajing to impeach those civil servants. At that time, it was not Luo Xin who was fighting alone, but royal relatives and military generals will stand in Luo Xin's camp.
"And..." Luo Xin smiled and lowered his voice: "Do you really think there will be nothing wrong with this military chaos? Your Majesty will be nothing angry?"
Xu Pengju's heart was shocked.
yes!
The time for the soldiers to be picked this time was the time for the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan to rebel. Emperor Jiajing was already annoyed enough, and I am afraid that this time it would become more severe and strict. In this way, he couldn't help but say anxiously:
"Mr. Luo, you promised me..."
"It's okay!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the general, including you. Since I said I would protect you from nothing, then nothing will happen."
"Why?" Xu Pengju was still unstable.
"Two reasons." Luo Xin stretched out two fingers and bent one and said, "First of all, you returned the military farm, but paid the fine. What are these fines used for? Given to Hu's house to suppress bandits, this is the most important thing at present. With this fine, you can worry-free things about suppressing bandits.
Secondly, the Nine Guards will be disarmed and moved to the north. This solves a big problem.
Based on these two points, Your Majesty will let go of the military general group, including Duke Xu. The entire Nine Guards will be cut off. What kind of punishment will you need? Even the civil officials of the court cannot say anything."
"The civil servants?"
"Your Majesty will not let them go, like those ministers, haha...especially the Minister of Revenue, the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, are they in charge of money and food. Isn't this the noise just because of the lack of noise? How could Your Majesty spare him?"
"But..." Xu Pengju said in confusion: "Mr. Luo, you are also a civil servant. Didn't you say that civil servants should protect each other?"
Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and... they are not mine."
"oh……"
Xu Pengju understood that almost all the Shangshu in Nanjing were from Xu Jie, and a few were from Gao Gong, and there were no Luo Xin.
It is normal for people without Luo Xin. Luo Xin is too young after all, and his rise has been too short. Those who follow him are all a group of officials with the fourth rank. At the Shangshu level, there are naturally no people who follow Luo Xin. At least there is no one at the moment.
Xu Pengju was very fast. In less than seven days, he exchanged farmland and paid a fine.
This is not just Xu Pengju, but all the military generals who invaded the military farms were paid honestly and fined.
This amount of money and grain is enough to maintain Hu Zongxian's food and grass for two months. In two months, Hu Zongxian should have almost wiped out the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan.
Luo Xin has already begun to ask Yu Dayou to lead his troops to escort the food and grass to Guangdong and Jiangxi.
During these seven days, the civil servant system in the south took Xu's mansion as the head and watched Luo Xin's actions.
This Xu Mansion is not Xu Pengju, but Xu Jie's Xu Mansion. They have not yet surrendered to Luo Xin, and have been waiting and watching with a lucky heart. They have not taken the initiative to return the farmland, let alone the fine.
Luo Xin did not do anything. He was busy registering the returned military farms, raising food and transporting them to Guangdong and Jiangxi. Of course, he also used part of the fine to pay the Nine Guards. The entire military chaos had completely subsided.
When Yu Dayou escorted the food and grass and left Nanjing, Luo Xin finally became idle. Under the attention of all the civil servants, Luo Xin did not take any further action, but instead visited Nanjing under the leadership of Xu Pengju. This made the civil servants who were following Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, Emperor Jiajing's decree arrived.
There are two decrees in total, and the first decrees exploded on the heads of the civil servant group like thunder.
Nanjing Minister of Revenue Cai Kelian deducted the military pay of the Nine Guards, was dismissed from office, and never hired.
The Minister of War, Minister of Personnel, etc., including the third-rank ministers of various yamen, were dismissed from office this time, and they were all never hired.
Almost all the officials who had Xu Jie and Gao Gong in Nanjing were dismissed from office. However, the people who did not involve Luo Xin were actually Luo Xin's people, and there were no officials above the third rank in Nanjing.
And the most important thing to the civil servant group's armor was that the twenty-one officials who were dismissed and five of them were confiscated and imprisoned. These five people all occupied the military farm. According to Luo Xin's words, those who took the initiative to return the military farm and accepted the punishment would naturally have to be lenient.
For example, King Jing, Duke Xu.
Moreover, in the capital, Emperor Jiajing also called Xu Jie to the imperial study room and scolded him harshly. At the same time, the royal relatives and military generals reported to impeach the civil servants who occupied the military farm. They impeached them with confidence because they did not have a mu of military farm in their hands at this time, and they all accepted the punishment.
According to Luo Xin's logic, they all actively recognize the mistakes and actively correct them.
The most important thing is that they are in trouble and cannot be regarded as good as civil servants, so they impeached them very fiercely.
The civil servant system could not stand it anymore. Xu Jie was the first to return the land and took the initiative to accept the penalty. Moreover, Luo Xin did not make them too embarrassed and came to return the land and voluntarily. Luo Xin's handling method was the same as before. Although he collected a large amount of fines, he still left decent for the civil servants. It was not that you would have to pay the land rent for many years after you occupied it for many years. This made those civil servants hate Luo Xin and feel uncomfortable accepting it.
Luo Xin didn't care, because even if they hated him, they didn't have much energy. Now twenty-one officials have been removed, and the youngest official position is also the third-rank minister.
Moreover, Luo Xin was thinking about how to use this opportunity to promote his brothers from the Fuxing Society. After all, this was the removal of twenty-one officials. Of course, there was no need to think about the position of Shangshu in Nanjing Prefecture. Even Luo Xin is now just a third-rank minister. How could those people from the Fuxing Society get such a high position?
However, the Minister of the Shang Dynasty cannot do it, the Minister of the Secretariat will do it!
At this time, Luo Xin wanted to win these positions, but there was no other way. He could not recommend too much to Emperor Jiajing directly, as this would make Emperor Jiajing think that he would cultivate his own power. However, not only one person could not recommend it.
