I have a system to assist

Chapter 138 It's Time for the Ministry of War (Part [-])
There are a few bamboo leaves in front of Yecao, the bamboo leaves are still green in this winter, there are no words on them, and he is the only one in the world who knows what these bamboo leaves represent.

A total of six bamboo leaves, from left to right are the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War.

But I saw Yecao blowing a breath, and the first five bamboo leaves flew up with this breath, fluttering around, and came to accompany the snow in the courtyard.

The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Punishment have all replaced the capable officials on the list, so these four bamboo leaves are no longer needed.

"Ministry?" Ye Cao clasped her fingers lightly on the table, making a 'crack clack' sound.

"Whoosh!" With a flick of the leaf grass, the bamboo leaf symbolizing the Ministry of Industry flew out like a hidden weapon, and plunged straight into the rocks in the courtyard.

Fortunately for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Mei Changsu did not intend to touch him, and Ye Cao decided to let him go.This department did not play much role in the court struggle.

But this Minister of the Ministry of War, although Mei Changsu doesn't move him, Ye Cao is determined not to let him go.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the deployment of all military supplies. Over the years, the quality of military supplies obtained by Mu's army has become worse and worse.

If it weren't for the glass business and the huge wealth accumulated, the Mu family army would have been unable to survive, let alone compete with the Southern Chu army.

Especially back then, the old Lord Mu went out to fight in the wild for some military supplies, but he didn't want to fall into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy into the depths, so that he died, making Nihuang and Qing'er orphans.

Li Lin, Minister of the Ministry of War, must die.

"Yiye, go and tell Qing'er that the Secretary of the Ministry of War is ready to move." Yecao was really angry, and the only bamboo leaf left on the table was torn into pieces.

There is no need to wait for the result, because when the plan is launched, the result must be doomed.

If I forget it, I will have nothing to spare.

Just a little push.

When Mu Qing heard in Namu's mansion that he could move Li Lin, he immediately clenched his fists and said silently, "Father, my son will avenge you."

Mu Qing entered the palace as the county king, and came in front of Emperor Liang.

"Oh, Mu Qing. Why did you come to see me?" Emperor Liang clearly treated Mu Qing as a child.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Li Lin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War." Mu Qing sent the memorial with both hands.

Gao Zhan took it, unfolded it and placed it in front of Emperor Liang.

"Are you accusing Li Lin of corrupting the law and embezzling military funds?" Emperor Liang couldn't help but feel angry.

"Yes." Mu Qing nodded.

"Let's make a thorough investigation by Xuanjing Si, you should step back first." Emperor Liang dismissed Mu Qing with a light word, and Mu Qing returned to the palace very cooperatively.

Of course Emperor Liang was aware of what the Ministry of War had done these years, especially withholding military supplies from Yunnan, which he acquiesced to.

If it is said to investigate, Emperor Liang of course does not want anyone to investigate, but since Mu Qing has already proposed it, even if it is just pretending, he has to wait to send the Xuanjing Division' Shao Zhangshi' to go through the motions, otherwise Mu Qing will not let it go .

But what Emperor Liang never expected, in the early morning of the next day, several imperial envoys jointly impeached Li Lin. The charges included the following: corruption and perverting the law, bullying men and women, and occupying land.

Li Lin belongs to the prince, and these imperial envoys belong to the king.

Now the prince is confined in the Guijia Palace and is not allowed to participate in government affairs. This is the best time to suppress the prince's party. With Mu Qing, the county king, taking the lead, how could Prince Yu let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Furthermore, it was Mu Qing who brought up the matter first, and he ordered people to attack him as helping the King of Yunnan, which is a great favor.

"Your Majesty, please investigate!"

The south wind was strong, and the courtiers were overwhelmed, even those ministers who had secretly taken refuge in Prince Jing also supported the investigation of Li Lin.

Prince Jing was born in the army. Over the years, he has often been made things difficult by the Ministry of War.

Take the recent bombing of the private cannon workshop as an example. It was just a few tents sent from the army to accommodate the suffering people. They did not report to the Ministry of War in time, so they were impeached by Li Lin.

I can't let go of this little thing, let alone other times.

"Decree to suspend all duties of Li Lin, and ask Xuan Jing to investigate carefully. Retire!" Emperor Liang stepped down from the dragon chair, and glanced at the proud King Yu.

Above the main hall, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Emperor Liang asked the Xuanjing Division to investigate Li Lin in detail. Of course, Xia Chun and Xia Dong, the envoys in charge of the Xuanjing Division, went out in person.

Compared with the investigation on New Year's Eve, the progress of the case of the murder of the inner prisoner was slow, but the investigation of Li Lin's criminal evidence seemed to be extremely fast, almost smooth sailing.

The prince's party can't protect himself, and he hasn't wiped the shit off his ass, so it's even more impossible to help Li Lin cover it up.

Since King Yu asked his imperial envoys to jointly impeach Li Lin, he naturally wanted to help Xuan Jingsi secretly.He has been fighting with the crown prince for so many years, and the minister of the Ministry of War is also an important minister of the court. King Yu has more or less evidence of his crime in his hands.

Through these, Xuan Jingsi can find out many things buried in the soil by following the vines.

However, these are at most the evidence and testimony of Li Lin's dismissal and relegation to a commoner, and the most fatal thing is the Minister of the Ministry of War, 'Wang Zhong'.

As his name suggests, Wang Zhong is devoted to his country. He has always disliked Li Lin's behavior these years.

Soldiers are the most important weapons of the country. If the soldiers decay, they will become useless, and the beam will perish.

It's a pity that the imperial court is a big dye tank, and there are very few people who don't join forces with Li Lin. Even though Wang Zhong intends to kill the thief, but because of his loneliness and strength, he can only swallow his anger and keep himself clean.

In fact, if he hadn't come from a family of military generals, his out of place personality would have been cleared from the military department long ago.

However, even though he had swallowed his anger these years, he was not idle. Instead, he silently recorded Li Lin's crimes in a small notebook, thinking that he might be able to use it someday.

It really pays off, starting with Prince Mu, the courtiers responded one after another, and Xuan Jing finally launched an investigation on Li Lin.

"I have evidence, and I am willing to testify." When Secretary Xuan Jing came to the Ministry of War to investigate, Wang Zhongyi stood up without hesitation.

"Use your blood to polish our soldiers." Wang Zhong said this to Li Lin's fellow party members.

On a certain day of a certain year, Li Linke withheld a certain amount of military pay from the frontier army, and filled his own pockets in the name of pensions for veterans. Afterwards, it was found out that the veterans had long since died.

On a certain day in a certain year, Li Lin took a fancy to a wife, and under the pretext of conscription, he forcibly brought her husband into the army and threatened his wife that if she did not obey him, she would train her husband to death.

The wife had no choice but to reconcile with her husband and obey Li Lin.But afterwards, Li Lin beat the husband to death and reported that he died due to excessive training.

And so on, there are countless, it can be said that it is too difficult to write.

"You bastard!" Emperor Liang was furious, and delivered an order:

Li Lin was removed from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, sentenced to autumn judgment, fined and confiscated property, and all the people and things seized were returned and compensated.

Wang Zhong succeeded as Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

So far, the Minister of the Ministry of War has closed down, and the crown prince's power in the court is only one Ning Guohou 'Xie Yu' left.

Soon thereafter, Emperor Liang issued two more edicts:
Concubine Jing abides by etiquette diligently, is respectful, virtuous and graceful, and is promoted to Concubine Jing.

Xiao Jingyan, the Prince of Jing, has repeatedly made military exploits and was promoted from the county king to the prince.

"My lord, this is an invitation from Su's residence, inviting you to visit his residence in three days." Yiye handed over an invitation.

"Oh, his house has been decorated."

Time flies so fast.
