Chapter 297 Hai Rui was impeached
Yan Shaoting glanced around.

I don’t know what to do with this chatty little kid in my arms.

Yunniang came in from outside and came to the two of them.

Today, Yunniang no longer has the delicate and fair skin she used to have. As she is busy all day long in Changping, her skin color has begun to darken.

But her energy and spirit are more sufficient than before.

Yunniang bowed and said, "The eldest lady and Concubine Li are at the textile factory. They said they were worried about the young master, so they asked me to take him over."

This is a pillow for when you feel sleepy.

Yan Shaoting quickly handed the little chatterbox to Yunniang.

Zhu Yijun hugged Yunniang's neck with both hands, rested his chin on Yunniang's shoulder, and shouted "Aba Aba" at Yan Shaoting.

There’s no way to change this kid’s talkative gene!
Watching the two people disappear in the direction of the textile factory, Yan Shaoting looked at his brother-in-law Lu Yi.

The two of them didn't say anything about going to a secret base or anything like that.

Sitting on the steps in front of Changping Academy.

Lu Yi explained in detail the cause and effect of the incident involving Hai Rui in Huizhou Prefecture.

At last.

The young man, who had been promoted to the position of Jinyiwei Commander, said confidently: "Robbery of the military seal, this crime alone is enough to behead Hai Rui a hundred times."

Lu Yi was well aware of how much his second brother-in-law valued Hai Gangfeng.

Even though his brother-in-law had never actually seen Hai Rui, this did not stop him from taking him seriously, to the point that he would always have people secretly following Hai Rui.

The entire Ming Dynasty.

Only Hai Rui could be so valued by his brother-in-law.

Yan Shaoting frowned.

He really didn't expect that Hai Rui, this iron-headed guy, would actually do such a thing as snatching the seal of the Xin'an Guard and leading the officers and soldiers of the Xin'an Guard to suppress the imminent riot in the six counties.

Although the starting point is good.

But this kind of thing, just like what my brother-in-law Lu Yi said, even if you talk about it to the sky, it will be enough to kill Hai Rui a hundred times.

Then we can only approach it from another angle and rescue Hai Rui, the iron-headed man.

Think of this.

Yan Shaoting asked, "Where is Shuai Jiamo? How long will it take for him to enter the capital?"

If such an arithmetic expert could be placed in Changping, he would be the best choice to calculate huge financial and tax numbers in the future.

Lu Yi answered, "It will arrive in half a month. But what does Shuai Jiamo's visit to the capital have to do with Hai Rui?"

Yan Shaoting shook his head: "It doesn't matter."

Ok?
Lu Yi frowned.

He also thought that Shuai Jiamo's entry into Beijing might be related to what Hai Rui was currently doing.

At this moment.

Prince Yu Zhu Zaigui had also finished his detailed discussions with old masters such as Nie Bao, Wang Ji, and Qian Dehong, and had a general idea of ​​Changping Academy.

Next, a special area will be set aside in the academy for Zhu Shanchang to rest in Changping during his days.

Perhaps it is because he has lived in the royal palace in Beijing for many years and it is rare to have such a free and easy life.

Zhu Zaigui, who was supposed to take a stroll in Changping and then return to the city today, immediately announced that he would stay in Changping that night.

If it were in the past.

Such a request from him would only be rejected by everyone.

But it's different now.

The emperor's princes can all go out to understand the people's sentiments, so naturally they want to live in the place closest to the people.

In this regard.

Zhu Zaigui was truly grateful to Yan Shaoting in his heart.

After so many years.

Only Master Yan truly understands me.

After Zhu Zaigui finished his negotiations with the old teachers, he walked to the entrance of the academy on his own, held up his robe in both hands, and sat on the steps, following their example.

"Changping is like this today. There are so many people in the academy who are devoted to studying. It's all thanks to Master Yan!"

Yan Shaoting bowed his hands and humbly declined, "Your Highness, your words are too serious. In my opinion, Changping can have such a grand occasion today because the people of Changping are united. That's why we have the Changping that Your Highness sees."

Zhu Zaigui waved his hand casually. He glanced at Lu Yi who was sitting on the other side, and then said to Yan Shaoting: "Master Yan, have you encountered any difficulties? If I can help you, Master Yan, just tell me."

Yan Shaoting shook his head.

But soon, there was a hint of ambiguity in his eyes when he looked at Prince Yu.

Zhu Zaigui became curious.

Yan Shaoting had already said, "It's not a big deal. I just encountered a matter involving reason and law."

"sense?"

"Legal?"

Zhu Zaigui became more and more curious.

And in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Chi Fengxiang, the Minister of the Dali Temple, said angrily, "My Lords, Hai Rui has been arrogant and domineering for a long time. He has caused such a mess in Huizhou Prefecture this time, and he will cause even bigger trouble in the future!"

In the cabinet classroom.

Everyone had different looks. What Hai Rui had done in Huizhou Prefecture had already been reported to the court and was included in the cabinet's discussion process.

Dali Temple Minister Chi Fengxiang seized on this incident and said, "Hai Rui disregarded the emperor's grace and is truly a traitor!"

"Your Majesty issued an edict years ago to summon Hai Rui to the capital, but until today, Hai Rui has not arrived. This is a crime of disobeying an imperial order!"

"Hai Rui, as the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate and the Deputy Magistrate of the Southern Zhili Provincial Governor's Office, had no authority to mobilize local garrison troops, but he forcibly seized the Xin'an Guard Seal and led his troops out of the camp to suppress the people. This is arrogant and may even be considered treason!"

"Since last year, Huizhou Prefecture has been plagued by many problems. The imperial court has just decided to abolish the silk tax and increase the silver tax for Huizhou Prefecture's defense. However, Hai Rui has been staying in Huizhou Prefecture, stirring up trouble and making trouble. He seems to be deceiving the world and stealing the reputation."

"These people who seek fame and fortune are arrogant, disregard the law, despise the court, and have no regard for Your Majesty. They should be severely punished!"

"I ask all the ministers to discuss and send a letter to Nanzhili and Huizhou Prefecture to arrest Hai Rui and bring him to the capital for interrogation."

In the classroom.

Starting from Yan Song, the four cabinet ministers were all among them.

Yan Song looked at him and spoke first, "What the Dali Temple reported is reasonable. De Zheng requested that Hai Rui be severely punished. If what he has done is proven, he should be punished accordingly."

De Zheng was the courtesy name of Chi Fengxiang, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Chi Fengxiang was a little surprised that the Prime Minister actually agreed to his request.

Xu Jie also frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while.

Xu Jie then turned to look at Yan Song, and then said with a smile: "This Hai Rui, I have also heard of him. He is usually stubborn, but in his heart he always puts the people first."

While speaking.

Xu Jie was weighing the additional wording in his mind.

"Many things in Huizhou Prefecture have just been settled, but we all know about the commotion caused by the people and silk issue."

"As the Censor-in-Chief, Hai Rui is in Huizhou Prefecture and cares about the people. How can he stay out of this?"

"If you want to blame someone, in my opinion, the most serious crime is that the Huizhou prefect refused to issue a request to transfer troops from the garrison."

"As of now, if Hai Rui had not seized the military seal and led his troops out of the camp to suppress the people of the six counties, I'm afraid what we would have seen now would be a memorial of hundreds of casualties in Huizhou Prefecture."

Civil unrest.

They are all veterans in the court, and no one of them is unaware of the huge impact that will be caused once civil unrest breaks out in the local area and the people turn into a mob.

And more importantly.

Since it is something that Lord Yan and Lord Yan want to do.

Of course I can't let it be accomplished.

That Hai Rui...

Although he was a stubborn man, he caused countless troubles in the two prefectures of Su and Song, and finally forced the two prefectures to survey the land.

But this person may be useful.

Yan Song glanced at Xu Jie indifferently and smiled secretly in his heart.

This Xu Huating.

In the end, it's still too narrow-minded.

In this way, it is easy for you to be controlled by yourself.

Yan Song looked at Gao Gong and Yuan Wei again, and then said, "Since Lord Xu said that Hai Rui's merits outweigh his faults, he should not be punished. However, the laws of our dynasty are strict, merits are merits, faults are faults, and there is a reason why merits and faults should be offset. We should still give him a little warning to show the court's fairness."

Xu Jie frowned and said, "Although merits and demerits cannot be offset, we should understand this time. If Hai Rui had not been in Huizhou Prefecture, the people of the six counties of Huizhou Prefecture would have been in chaos. By then, countless people would have died tragically. It would be a big mistake for us to be in charge of the cabinet and govern the country for Your Majesty."

Yuan Wei watched as the Prime Minister and the Second Prime Minister suddenly got into an argument over one thing.

He couldn't help but say, "Whatever his merits and demerits are, why not urge Hai Rui to come to the capital as ordered? Once he arrives, we can ask him to explain himself in front of our cabinet."

Yuan Wei adopted an appeasement strategy.

Since the matter is controversial, let's not discuss it now. Let Hai Rui come to Beijing first.

Gao Gong said: "The commander of Xin'an Guard is also a person who changes his mind according to the situation. How could the seal of the troop dispatch be snatched away by Hai Rui, a scholar? The court should issue an order to reprimand him. And the prefect of Huizhou, Huang Ningdao, is also derelict in his duty and did nothing. He watched the people riot and ignored the people's violent transformation into a mob. He should also be severely punished!"

As for Gao Gong, who is now in charge of rectifying the administration of officials, the fact that he did not mention Hai Rui at all already shows his inclination.

In Gao Gong's opinion.

If I were in Hai Rui's position, I would do the same thing.

I have such a bad temper!

Yan Song witnessed the different reactions of the people in the classroom. He could only frown and say, "In that case, should we leave this matter here?"

Xu Jie said: "It is not that the cabinet is under pressure. In my opinion, Hai Rui is not guilty. These impeachments are rejected and the Huizhou prefecture and county are ordered to reflect on themselves. According to Gao Suqing's opinion, the Huizhou prefecture will be held accountable for dereliction of duty."

Gao Gong and Yuan Wei also said, "We also mean the same thing. Let's end this matter here."

I see that the cabinet has reached a consensus.

Yan Song smiled in his heart.

This time, I helped my eldest grandson.

When I get home from work, I will ask my eldest grandson to make me a dish of braised pork to nourish me.

Yan Song was thinking about trivial matters.

He then made a decision and said, "Since this is the case, this matter ends here. Send someone to Huizhou Prefecture to urge Hai Rui to come to Beijing immediately without delay."
