Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As if to confirm what Jiang Tuan said, just after noon the next day, Shang Chengcheng heard the news. Several students from Taixue publicly went to court to impeach the Ministry of Works and Chang Xiu.

    "With deaf ears, it is difficult to listen; with blind eyes, it is difficult to distinguish colored glass." This is what the Ministry of Industry is saying; the Ministry of Industry is blind, and it is deceived without knowing it; this is still good, meaning that the Ministry of Industry is not  The intention is to do evil, but it is just a moment of inadvertence and deception.  But he was not polite to Chang Xiu.  "The spring breeze brings no more articles." After Chang Wenshi became a Jinshi, did you write any good articles worthy of praise?  This sentence "big eyebrows and bright hair, urns buried in flat gardens" is extremely cruel: You Chang Wenshi are a lot older, your hair and beard are all white, you should have imitated the old man from Hanyin who "holds urns to fill the garden", hug a  Watering the flowers and plants in the garden with a water vat, such a life is comfortable and leisurely; whether you are annotating books and writing lectures, or teaching students, these are not in vain for your status as a great writer of the generation.  But what about you?  But you dug up the garden and buried a big urn of money in the ground in the "Pingyuan Burial Urn", implying that Chang Xiu had dirty hands and feet when it came to glass, and made who knows how much money, and the family really couldn't hide it.  I had to quietly dig a cellar to bury the money

    The imperial court was completely unprepared for this unexpected incident. After receiving the report from the Taixue students, they did not give any advice. They only comforted a few students to go back to study hard, then turned around and sternly told the Taixue students to strictly discipline them.  Nothing further.

    But the matter can no longer be concealed.

    Because the incident first happened in Taixue, there were many insiders in Taixue, and these students went public. A few of them stood in a row under the big archway in front of Yemen and recited in unison, surrounded by spectators.  Officials and common people spread the news from ten to ten, and it only took half a day for the news to spread all over the capital, and the matter immediately became a commotion.

    With the pauper Chen Chen, Chang Xiu's backer, Zhu Xuan, an old master, he was definitely not good at handling this situation. Zhang Pu was also worried that the position of left prime minister might not be available, so one night later, Yushitai took the lead in attacking  , "We heard that the Ministry of Industry seized the Jia family's land and forests in Pingshan, Xuzhou", "We heard that the Xiaoluofang kiln collapsed and injured craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry", "We heard that officials in the Ministry of Industry were embezzling money" Seven or eight impeachments were directed at the workers.  Ministry and Chang Xiu.  It is one case that the Ministry of Industry is biased about glass and does not distinguish authenticity. Another is Chang Xiu's stubbornness and blindness. Another is that several workshops of the Ministry of Industry spend countless money and food without making any achievements, and another is reprocessing.  When the ministry was building liquor workshops in various places last year, it purchased nearly one million dan of grain from the local government. However, due to various reasons, the work was not started in time. As a result, part of the grain rotted in the warehouse. The final calculated loss was nearly 3,000 dan.  , although everyone knows that this loss of liquor benefits is not worth mentioning in comparison, but now that the censors need it, then it is one of the crimes of the Ministry of Industry.  Since your workshops are not operating, why don't you sell the grain on the spot in advance instead of letting it rot in the warehouse?  Even if you sell at a reduced price, won't you be able to recover some losses and at the same time allow more people to save more food at home?  At this time, they completely forgot that just last month, the Yushitai specially wrote a letter to remind the prime ministers that all localities should prepare special funds for purchasing grain in advance for Changpingcang, and purchase large quantities of new grains when they are harvested, so as to avoid grain accidents as much as possible.  Things that hurt farmers

    Yushitai was the pioneer, and others naturally followed suit. Three days later, officials from the six ministries also submitted more than a dozen memorials, the content of which was also to impeach the Ministry of Industry and Chang Xiu.  The content of these memorials is more detailed, providing the Ministry of Industry's expenditure on glass firing in two workshops in Xiaoluoyi and Xuzhou - nearly 340,000 yuan, and more than 200,000 yuan was spent just to build the furnace.  .  The question is, how many furnaces were built with 200,000 yuan?  There are only seventeen buildings in total.  There are seven Xiaoluo Yis and ten in Xuzhou. Among them, three fire kilns are under construction in Xuzhou.  People not only have to ask, what does a 10,000-cup fire furnace look like?  Could it be that this fire kiln is made of copper from head to toe?  There is also the land acquisition by the Ministry of Industry in Xuzhou, which has caused the displacement of more than 200 and nearly 300 registered residents. From the foot of the two mountains purchased by the Ministry of Industry to the workshop outside Xuzhou City, "hundreds of households have been displaced from their homes and relocated."  "Howling on the road" - this is such a desolate and tragic scene. Don't your Ministry of Industry and you, Chang Xiu and Wenshi, feel any shame or guilt at all?  There is also the Jia family in Xuzhou. Nearly three hectares of good ripe land was sold at a current price of at least 16,000 min. However, the Ministry of Industry bought it for less than 1,000 min. "The Jia family's misery cannot be described in words."  "Everyone shed tears when they heard this." Do you dare to say that there is nothing that cannot be said to others?

    Logically speaking, under such a situation, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, the Ministry of Industry and Chang Xiu must stand up and speak.  But things turned out to be very strange. Just a few days before the students were to start school, Chang Xiu, who was supposed to be at the forefront of the storm, went to Xuzhou, and then the right minister of the Ministry of Industry went to Laiden to inspect the Laizhou Shipyard and Dengzhou under construction.  At the shipyard, only Shangshu Zhai Cuo was left in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.  Zhai Cuo first explained that he was in charge of the Huanghuai Water Works and was not very clear about glass firing, but heI believe that even if there are occasional oversights in the work of the Ministry of Industry, the flaws cannot be concealed. Just because the firing of glass will not produce results for a while, we cannot insist that it is impossible; not to mention that Chang Xiu's articles and morals are excellent, no matter what  It can't be as bad as the rumors say.

    Zhai Cuo said this, but his words had another meaning. It seemed that he was defending the Ministry of Works and Chang Xiu, but in fact he was saying that the contents of the memorials were all rumors, and the person who wrote these memorials was in  Spreading rumors and spreading rumors.  His words immediately stirred up a hornet's nest.  In the next few days, memorials to impeach the Ministry of Industry and Chang Xiu were delivered to the prime minister's office one after another like snowflakes.  The impeachment memorial seemed to have frightened Zhai Cuo. The minister of the Ministry of Industry arranged the affairs in the yamen a little, and Zhai left Beijing at night and rushed to Sizhou to inspect the hydraulic works on the Huaihe River.  There is no doubt that his actions were immediately regarded as guilty and cowardly. It seems that Chang Xiu will not be able to overcome this hurdle this time. There will probably be considerable changes in the personnel of the Ministry of Works. Anyone who has the opportunity will immediately  Starting to make plans, people who have no chance are also trying to fish in troubled waters

    With such a chaotic scene in the court, the matter of which forbidden army would execute the new code of conduct was naturally delayed again and again. It was not until late July that Shang Cheng received a notice from the Ministry of War and returned to the capital to participate in the fourth  Code meeting.
