Volume Four, Chapter 96, Ferocious Man

Yan Maoqing, the former Minister of Revenue of Nanjing, had just recovered from his serious illness and his official position was restored. The meritorious minister Zhang Shiche was transferred to serve as the right censor of the Nanjing Censorate. As soon as the news came out, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

What is Yan Maoqing? Apart from Jiajing, there are a few people who don’t know. This guy is Yan Song’s dog. He who specializes in making money for Yan Song, and letting this guy serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing will probably suffer heavy losses again.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Zhang Shiche is wronged!

Zhang Shiche's ability is obvious to all. As long as he became the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, the border army would not have had any food and salary. No matter how many border army had 60,000, 90,000, or 190,000, they would have no food and salary.

Especially this time, the imperial court organized an army of 190,000 to recover Hetao. It took about two years from recruiting the army at the beginning, to training and forming, to going to expedition to Hetao, to recovering Hetao. In the past two years, there was no problem with the food and salary of the 190,000 army.

With this, Zhang Shiche should not suffer such humiliation.

Why is this a humiliation?

Who doesn’t know that the Nanjing Censorate is just a nursing home. Even the left censor of the Nanjing Censorate is just sitting there waiting for the elderly to retire. It can be said that if you are transferred to the Nanjing Censorate, your official career will basically end.

In other words, giving Zhang Shiche the title of the right censor of the Nanjing Censorate is to deliberately humiliate him, deny his achievements, and let him live and wait for death. Even if Zhang Shiche can take over the real power with the energy of the Yangming lineage, this humiliation will not be erased.

It is really shocking that the court treated meritorious officials like this.

Of course, most of the people who were stunned were irrelevant court officials and officials from the Yangming lineage, so they were so angry.

Zhang Bangqi was so angry that he almost bleeded, and Yang Cong was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Damn it!

Yan Song, can you be even more shameless?

Jiajing, can you be more confused?

If you do this, it’s simply a flippant!

Since you are sick, you go out to recuperate. It would be fine if you keep your illness honestly and stop causing trouble. This time, you jumped out to be a dog for Yan Song, are you seeking death?

Yang Cong was really angry. Yan Song actually made a fuss behind his back and for no reason he rubbed Zhang Bangqi down. Jiajing didn't say a word and just did what Yan Song said. Have you ever considered the feelings of others?

He couldn't swallow this tone.

So, what should I do?

It’s very simple. Mobilize your subordinates to impeach Yan Maoqing and reveal all the scandals that Yan Maoqing did!

Originally, Yang Cong collected a lot of evidence of Yan Maoqing's corruption and abuse of power, but he really didn't expect Yan Maoqing to suddenly pretend to be sick and retire. Moreover, he was not the kind of person who was tightly clenched on others and insisted on putting people to death.

Since Yan Maoqing pretended to be sick and gave up his position, even if this matter was over, he would not want to be unable to get along with a retired patient.

At this moment, this guy actually jumped out and disgusted him again. Then, no wonder he was rude.

That night, he recruited his disciple Yang Jisheng to the mansion.

Yang Jisheng, the disciple, was originally planning to deal with Yan Song. He also knew that one day he would have a strife with Yan Song. At that time, this "the number one iron man in the Ming Dynasty" would be useful. It would be more appropriate to let such a fierce man who is not afraid of death take the lead in impeaching Yan Song.

This time, the impeachment of Yan Maoqing was regarded as a training for troops.

Yang Jisheng was also full of righteous indignation at this moment. He was the kind of person who hated evil and hated Yan Song's party to the core. This time, Yan Maoqing actually jumped out for no reason and squeezed Zhang Shiche into the position of the right censor of the Nanjing Censorate. It was simply intolerable!

He came to Yang Cong's study and respectfully performed the ceremony of a disciple, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Mr. Yan Song, a dog thief, did such a traitor, actually demoted a great hero like Lord Zhang to the Nanjing Censorate to humiliate him, and promoted and appointed a corrupt official like Yan Maoqing. He simply did not take all civil and military officials and the court's laws into consideration. Do we just let him continue to be so arrogant?"

This kid is indeed fierce enough, and he actually called the chief minister of the cabinet a dog thief!

These days, scholars are still relatively civilized, at least on the surface, and it is rare to see that they are as vulgar as him.

Well, that's right, to deal with shameless people like Yan Song, you will have such a fierce person.

Yang Cong nodded secretly, and then said seriously: "You also know the laws of the court. He is the chief minister of the cabinet and the head of all officials. What is the favor of the emperor? Even if he deliberately humiliates Wei Jing, what will you do?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jisheng couldn't help but stubbornly said, "So even if he is the chief minister of the cabinet? The prince still commits the same crime as the common people. The students are preparing to invite justice in the court to work together to impeach this dog thief."

Yang Cong immediately asked: "Do you feel that the impeachment will have a result?"

Yang Jisheng still stubbornly said, "Even if there is no result, the students will impeach. The world is bright and the sun and the moon are bright, how can this thief do anything wrong?"

Well, this kid is indeed ready to fight Yan Song to the death.

This kid is also a strange guy. Originally, as a Hanlin Academy Shujishi, he could have taken the route of prime minister and climbed to the high position of the six ministers and even the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet as quickly as possible. However, after this guy came out of the Hanlin Academy, he actually chose to go to the Censorate to be a censor!

You know, the editor of the Hanlin Academy is at the seventh rank, and the censor of the Censorate is also at the seventh rank. He has been in vain for three years and has not been promoted to the first level.

Although "Kaodao official" is quite promising, it requires experience.

Generally speaking, the censor of the Censorate will have to be at least three terms and will be expected to be the Censor of the Inspector for about nine years;

Then, after two or three sessions, you can only get promoted if you get some results, and become the right assistant censor and governor;

Then, after two or three sessions, you can only get promoted if you get some results, and become the right deputy censor and governor;

Then it depends on the achievements. Those who have outstanding achievements may be promoted to the left censor or the six ministers of the Censorate. Those who have average achievements will almost end.

In other words, if you enter the Censorate and serve as a "Chief Official", it will take at least twenty years to make a name for yourself and become a third-rank court official!

But the route of taking the Chu Xiang as a Hanlin Academy is different, and the promotion speed is like a rocket.

Generally, Shujishi will be awarded the editor of the Hanlin Academy of the seventh rank, and will be promoted to the Imperial College of the sixth rank after three years of being in charge of the Hanlin Academy;

If you stay there for another three years, you can be promoted to the left or right Yude of the Zhan Shifu, who is not required to be promoted to the fifth-rank Zhan Shifu;

In the past three years, no achievements are required, and they can be promoted to the left or right son of the Zhan Shifu family who is in the fifth rank;

In the past few years, those who are lucky or have a backstage can be promoted to the fourth-rank Zhan Shifu or from the fourth-rank Imperial College Supervisor;

After three years, he became the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites!

Immediately afterwards, the Minister of Rites and even the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet!

In other words, it only takes more than ten years for the Hanlin Academy to be the most powerful minister and become a minister of the six ministers and even a grand cabinet minister!

With such an obvious gap, Yang Jisheng insisted on choosing to join the Censorate as a censor. It can be seen that this guy is a fierce man, and he just wants to impeach those corrupt officials.
