The 19th year of Emperor Jingkang

From October 24th, officials in the capital suddenly discovered a terrible fact.

All the censors of the Censorate were crazy...

The Censorate's Masters are not easy to meet. This is a capital city... No, it is well known to all the officials of the big officials, but no matter how difficult these Masters used to be, they still have some bottom line. As long as you don't let someone catch the handle, they are usually too lazy to find you.

But these two days have not been done. These censors suddenly seemed to be sick, and they didn't do anything all day long, so they just stared at them.

If there is nothing big, I will report to impeach me directly. If there is a little bit serious, I will go to the court to point at myself and criticize me. In just 24 days, the Censorate reported as many as hundreds of memorials, involving more than 40 officials. These are all of them of rank and above, at least seventh rank.

………

However, impeachment is still within the scope of the officials' endorsement. After all, the court has been criticized by the Censorate, and even the cabinet masters of the cabinet have also recited a lot of impeachments.

As long as these censors are not holding on to each other, or the situation is serious, they can hand in a self-declaration and then restrain themselves more, and they can slowly avoid the limelight. At most, the Ministry of Personnel suffered some losses during the evaluation, and were demoted or punished if they were severe, but how could they still keep the black veil on their heads?

But soon, the officials in the capital lost their previous calmness. On October 26, the Gyeonggi-do Office of the Censorate Court issued three impeachment memorials, which stated that the Ministry of War was a third-rank doctor, a fourth-rank official, and three fifth-rank officials, and a sixth-rank official, and a sixth-rank official, which shocked the court and the public through various illegal deeds of nine officials.

Emperor Jingkang ordered the Censorate, together with Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Justice to conduct a trial and investigate the crime strictly.

Then, before all the officials recovered from the fall of these Ministry of War officials, the next day the Censorate submitted two more impeachment memorandums, and this time the Ministry of Personnel was criticized.

From the third-rank doctor to the seventh-rank official, there were eleven people who went with the previous officials of the Ministry of War.

For a moment, the officials in the capital were full of panic, fearing that the Censorate would find his yamen.

………

But their expectations were completely disappointed. Ma Jin, supported by Emperor Jingkang, Yan Yi, and Cai Yang, plowed all over the capital's yamen with a group of excited censors.

On October 28, the Gyeonggi Province Inspector General Censor's Office impeached eight officials of the Ministry of Rites, the highest was a fourth-rank official. By then, the Ministry of Rites was the cleanest yamen.

On October 29, the Gyeonggi Province Inspector General Office impeached four members of the Ministry of Revenue. Although there were few people, they were all big fish, two third-rank doctors and two fourth-rank official men, which directly cut off nearly one-fifth of the high school leaders of the Ministry of Revenue.

On October 30, Qingfeng Operation achieved the greatest results. The Ministry of Works, which is known for its corruption, could not stand the investigation at all. There were as many as 17 officials impeached by the inspectors.

This is still a restraint. Only the big evil is captured and the small evil is investigated. There is no way. The Ministry of Works is too dirty. If all the impeachments are impeached, the Ministry of Works will be paralyzed. So Ma Jin and Cai Yang communicated for a while, but they still did not kill him. However, all the officials who had problems were compiled into a book and sent to Emperor Jingkang.

In addition, we have to say one thing. The Ministry of Works also set a record, that is, Hong Tao, the third in charge of the Ministry of Works, was impeached and detained. This is the highest-ranking official involved in the Qingfeng Operation.

On October 31, the Ministry of Justice...

On the first day of November, Dali Temple...

On the second day of November, Shuntian Mansion...

...

On November 6th, the Censorate's Qingfeng Operation... That's right, the Censorate is now under the command of the Censorate, Cai Yang is in charge of the Censorate, and Ma Jin is responsible as the deputy.

There is no way, the matter is too big now, and the Gyeonggi Province Inspector Censorship Office can no longer be held back, so he can only take action by the chief rank of the Censorate. Even Cai Yang is under some pressure now. If Emperor Jing Kang had not been holding on from behind, he would have been willing to stop.

This is not Cai Yang's timidity. Just look at the number of officials who have been brought in to Qingfeng Operation in the past few days.

There are 1 person in the second grade, 9 person in the third grade, 16 person in the fourth grade, 30 person in the fifth grade, 30 person in the sixth grade, 670 persons in the sixth grade, 60 or 70 persons in the sixth grade……

There are a total of hundreds of officials above the seventh rank, and none of them are minor crimes. Just consider the evidence of crimes "collected" by the Censorate. These people are all light in picking black veils, and there are seventeen or eighteen death sentences.

Wow, if this case is handled correctly, it will not be as good as the Blood Dragon Case of Fengwen Dynasty and will be among the top five major cases in history.

And don’t forget that the Qingfeng operation has not yet been carried out one-third. If this situation continues, the "clear breeze" will blow, and half of the functions of the official in the capital will be empty.

………

"We can't continue like this anymore. At present, the officials in the capital are in panic. All the corps and departments are full of soldiers. If we don't stop it, there may be changes."

In the imperial study room, the old master of the cabinet, Jing Yan, spoke excitedly to Emperor Jingkang, and the important officials next to him nodded repeatedly.

This Qingfeng operation involved too much. Although it did not hit the top level under the intentional control of Ma Jin, it also involved many of the big boss's disciples and former officials. Seeing that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, these people finally couldn't help but come to find Emperor Jing Kang to make the decision.

"My Master Jing Ge said this badly. These corrupt officials are relying on the court's rotten meat. This time the Censorate's thunder and wind was digging this piece of rotten meat for the court. Although it would be a bit painful, in the long run, it is a strategy to promote the country."

Although the Qingfeng Operation caused dissatisfaction among many officials, many loyal people also admired and supported it. Bai Zhengming, the Minister of Rites, has always been a representative official who supported the Qingping Operation.

"This cabinet always supports the court in poaching corrupt officials, but I think Sufeng should also take steady steps and gradually rectify the situation.

The straightforward and reckless act like the Censorate, hundreds of officials were deposed at once, and the foundation of the court had already touched the court. What should I do if something went wrong?" Jing Yan narrowed his eyes and criticized him from a different angle.

"Just, just be steady and steady. When will the officialdom be eradicated? If I ask me, I have to use a heavy hammer to make a sound, and I have to apply a strong medicine to the deep and ill. This Qingfeng operation of the Censorate suddenly caused hundreds of illegal officials to be dismissed.

I am happy and relieved, and my spirit is so upright and clear that I am fully supporting the Censorate to continue to investigate thoroughly.”

Bai Zhengming glanced at Jing Yan disdainfully and directly expressed his attitude.

Jing Yan was angry and continued to list all the examples to criticize the Censorate. Old Secretary Bai Zhengming was not afraid at all, and argued with him one by one to maintain the Qingfeng action.

………

Emperor Jing Kang was troubled by the two of them, and stopped the arguing between them, looked at Yan Yi on the side and asked for his opinion.

Yan Yi looked at the two old men who were still dissatisfied with each other and stared at each other. He thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"The son-in-law once asked Zisheng, and asked him that this Qingfeng operation had almost offended more than half of the officials in the court. Later, he did not regret it. Zisheng replied to the son-in-law's words, which he remembered in his heart and dared not forget."

"What are you talking about?" asked Emperor Jing Kang,

"The world is worthy of being respectful, and praise and criticism will bring spring and autumn." Yan Yi said word by word.

Emperor Jing Kang was moved and stared at Yan Yi for a long time. Seeing that he was clear and quiet, he slapped the dragon's desk.

"Transfer the orders to Cai Yang and Ma Jin, and continue to investigate for me..."
