"There is an old saying: 'The virtue of a gentleman, the virtue of a villain, the grass, the wind on the grass, must die.' Therefore, since ancient times, when evaluating officials, it is good to have both virtue and ability, and virtue is still ahead of talent. Those who are officials should be turbid and clear, and set an example for others. However, although Ye Xiaotian, the county magistrate of our county, is called a dry history, his conduct is despicable.
In ancient times, there were five virtues and five failures. The five virtues are respecting the boss, being honest and serving the public, being cautious in doing things, doing more good deeds, and being courteous in everything. Ye Xiaotian is only one of them! The five failures are boasting, high-mindedness, arrogance, inconsistency between knowledge and action, corruption and bribery, and Ye Xiaotian has all five failures. That's why..."
Hua Zhixian finished reading the playbook that he had changed several times, and said to Li Qiuchi with a face full of hope: "What do you think, sir?"
Li Qiuchi raised his thumb and said: "The true characters are like knives, and every sentence is like a sword!"
Hua Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, with a gratified smile on his face.
Li Qiuchi noticed that he was still a little apprehensive, and said: "Actually, Dong Weng doesn't need to be nervous at all. When the emperor is resigning from the old government and welcoming the new, this is the general trend. Under such circumstances, people like Ye Xiaotian are the old ministers who should be cleaned up." , why does the imperial court cherish a county magistrate. Dong Weng came forward to impeach him as a county magistrate, and he is sure."
Hua Qingfeng nodded, thinking so.
Li Qiuchi said again: "Ye Xiaotian's arrogant self-esteem is true, it is true to accept bribes, it is true to collude with native officials, and it is true to disrespect superior officials. These crimes are enough to make him dismissed from office. What's more, Li has already bribed a prostitute in Tongren. As long as the adult's memorial If the imperial court pays attention to it and send Fengxian officials to investigate, then they can come forward and report."
Li Qiuchi smiled triumphantly, and said: "Taizu made a rule: official whores, who commit crimes next to murder, will not be used for life even if they are pardoned. If the crimes we found out before cannot be put to death, then add This crime is enough."
In fact, if the court thinks the crimes they listed before are true, it will be enough to take off Ye Xiaotian's black hat. Just in case, Li Qiuchi still prepared extra.
To impeach an official, it is of course impossible to rely on speculation, but eight points are true and two points are false, so it is easy to win the trust of the court. Even so, for the sake of caution, the two points were not directly written into the memorial, but left to wait and see.
Whether Ye Xiaotian went to prostitution during his official business in Tongren Mansion, Huazhi County should not know, if it is written in the impeachment memorial, even if the court officials accept it, at least they will immediately judge that the magistrate and the county magistrate are at odds. It is a taboo for officials to punish him, so they sent people to monitor him, so they don't have to throw it out unless it is a last resort.
If the imperial court believed Hua Qingfeng's other charges of impeachment and sent personnel to investigate, then it can be concluded that the court officials have at least believed it to a certain extent. Ye Xiaotian's other misdemeanors have been found out", and Ye Xiaotian's fate can basically be determined.
No matter right or wrong, no matter right or wrong, only talk about morality! How can a person with imperfect personal morality do the right thing, and how can a person with perfect personal morality do wrong things. Chinese people have been based on morality for thousands of years, and have always adhered to this logic. Therefore, making a fuss about morality can be said to be unfavorable.
Hua Qingfeng said: "So, this official will write a letter of impeachment tomorrow?"
"No!"
Li Qiuchi stopped him and said: "The impeachment of this memorial is enough, but if Dong Weng wrote the letter alone, what kind of impression will it give people? You know, Ye Xiaotian has made many achievements after all. The bandits, established the "Tianhe" to divert water to fight the drought, and cracked the major case of smuggling and trafficking...
Every pile and every piece is still vivid in my mind. At this time, if Dong Weng wrote the letter alone, even if what is said in the memorial is true, it will inevitably give people the impression of jealousy and envy. , and you have to ensure that you, my lord, have a good home after your term of office expires. If this makes the court officials hate Dong Weng, then the loss outweighs the gain. "
Hua Qingfeng hurriedly asked for advice: "Then according to what Mr. said, what should I do?"
Li Qiuchi said word by word: "The impeachment is jointly signed by all the officials. Only in this way can it be shown that Ye Xiaotian has committed public anger! Dong Weng can't bear the name of this initiative, he only needs to be the official seal of a county, humbly accept the opinions of all officials, and second the impeachment." .”
"this… "
When Hua Qingfeng heard it, she immediately showed embarrassment. It is still possible for him to make some tricks and stab Ye Xiaotian in the back, but to gather all the officials to write a letter... He has neither the prestige nor the appeal, it is impossible.
Li Qiuchi frowned and said, "Why, Dong Weng finds it difficult?"
Li Qiuchi really couldn't believe that Hua Qingfeng had been a Zhengyin official in Hu County for five years, and the first person to sit on the golden chair didn't even have the ability to fan the flames behind his back and gather a group of people to criticize a subordinate. How incompetent? It's too unreasonable. He has also met many officials in Guiyang, but he has never seen such a strange thing.
Naturally, Hua Qingfeng would not be so timid in front of Li Qiuchi. In fact, after he found out that Ye Xiaotian had an "affair" with his woman, the humiliation and anger had given him enough courage. He was not afraid to fight Ye Xiaotian, but Ask him to contact all the officials to sign a letter... The concubine can't do it!
Zi Yu was standing behind the screen with her big belly on her back, she couldn't help feeling anxious for the master when she heard this. In private in the boudoir, she often heard the master talk about how hateful Ye Xiaotian is. From her standpoint, she naturally became hostile to Ye Xiaotian. Now that the master has a chance to be proud but still timid, she is very anxious. But she is just a girl from a small family, and she doesn't have much experience, so she can't help, so she can only be anxious.
Hua Qingfeng said hesitantly: "Sir, I don't know something. Ye Xiaotian overshadowed the sky in Huxian County, and defeated the Mengxian Cheng, Xuxian Cheng and Wang Zhubu one after another. The limelight is even stronger. All the officials in our county are afraid of him. Like this Let them stand out under such circumstances, how dare they?"
Li Qiuchi sneered and said: "If it is certain that Ye Xiaotian will collapse this time? Dong Weng, the more the officials fear him, the more they hate him. Once they catch the opportunity, how can they let it go? Now Dong Weng has come forward to preside over it. As a matter of fact, there is no way that no one will come forward, right?"
While talking, Li Qiuchi thought to himself: "In the past, I only knew that when Meng Qingwei was here, he would link up with the powerful and oppress the magistrate. But he didn't know what Hua Qingfeng's ability is. If Hua Qingfeng managed Hu County for five years, he would not have a single confidant. Even if I can't do the thing of collaborating with my colleagues to sue an official, then I don't have to protect this Dong Weng!"
Seeing that Li Qiuchi's expression turned cold, Hua Qingfeng's heart tightened, and she thought to herself: "If I continue to evade, I'm afraid Li Qiuchi will lose confidence in me, and it will be difficult to help me. Also, I have been in Hu County for five years. Can't even summon a few people?"
Hua Qingfeng calculated carefully: Bai Hong is the most timid and fearful person. He flattered Ye Xiaotian, probably because he had heard of Ye Xiaotian's reputation and was afraid of his strength. However, as the head of a county, he may not be willing to let the power go, everything depends on Ye Xiaotian's wink. If he is convinced that my accusation will be successful, he should agree to sign the petition together with me.
What about Zhang Dianshi, this person and Ye Xiaotian are just normal associates, not close. It's just that this person is old, and he came to Hu County just to dawdle, he doesn't care who is more domineering, and I'm afraid he won't participate in this matter. But if I promise him good... what good can I promise him
Forget it, put this person aside for now, let's talk about the two team leaders, there is no need to think about the team leader Zhou, this person is determined to follow Ye Xiaotian, follow the sky... He admires Ye Xiaotian so much, and he is not reliable, the county school teacher Gu Qing , Discipline Huang Xuan, if I can promise them certain benefits and put some pressure on them, I should be able to pull them over.
Inspection Director Luo Xiaoye... Impossible!
Tax Ambassador Li Yuncong... Impossible!
Zhao Yicheng at the post station... Impossible!
Ambassador Xiancang... This is my person, so it should be fine.
The warden... is also mine, so it should be fine!
Thinking of this, Hua Qingfeng slowly raised his head, and said to Li Qiuchi: "There are one-third of the officials, the county is sure. Another third, we have to use both kindness and power to win them over. The other third , is Ye Xiaotian's confidant, it's hard to get over."
Li Qiuchi thought for a while and said: "Okay! If that's the case, Dong Weng might as well reveal his voice to those who can be trusted, so that they know what they know. Then, he can show his kindness to those who can be wooed, or beat them a little bit, so that they can be trusted." They were terrified, and then called all the county bureaucrats to announce the matter!"
Hua Qingfeng was taken aback, and said, "Announce it publicly?"
Li Qiuchi said in a deep voice: "That's right! Dong Weng's public announcement will have the effect of winning the first place! At that time, some confidantes will wave their flags and clamor, and some who are vacillating will either be afraid of Dong En's power first, or accept it first." Dong Weng's kindness, if someone agrees, he can force them to agree to sign on the spot. In this way, the remaining one-third of the people, maybe some people will take advantage of the wind and take refuge in Dong Weng's side."
Hua Qingfeng frowned and said, "Why don't you connect them one by one in secret, so..."
Li Qiuchi shook his head, and said: "Creating in secret, once someone among them has duplicity and leaks the news in advance, after Ye Xiaotian hears about it, there is no guarantee that he will not think of a way to sabotage the matter. Besides, it will take too long to connect in secret. .
Now, taking advantage of his absence, it was Dong Weng's chance to show off his power. Once Ye Xiaotian returns to Hu County, his people will have a backbone, and they will not seek refuge with Dong Weng. Besides, as long as Dong Weng can get in touch with half of the officials, sign the memorial together, and send it to the capital with 600 Li urgently, it will be too late for Ye Xiaotian to know about it! "
"this… "
Hua Qingfeng was still hesitating, and Li Qiuchi said in a deep voice: "Dong Weng, you are as quiet as a virgin and move like a rabbit, so you can catch such a cunning villain as Ye Xiaotian! Once the playbook is written, Dong Weng will be holding his name for justice." , do things that are upright and upright, what is there to be afraid of?"
Hua Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will follow what Mr. said!"
Hua Qingfeng gritted her teeth and finally showed her wolf-like fangs.
