Minister Xie Jin impeaches Duke Xu Da of Wei for three major crimes!
Forbidden City
In the throne room-
As usual, Zhu Yuanzhang held a court meeting as usual. He sat on the dragon chair and waited for the officials to report.
After the officials reported the government affairs one by one, the eunuch standing by the steps was about to step forward and announce the ebb tide.
In the court, a scholar in green was displayed.
He raised the hairpin and the board in his hand, and with a sonorous and powerful voice, he said,"Your Majesty, I, Xie Jin, have a memorial to report!"”
After listening to the morning court session, Zhu Yuanzhang had gradually closed his eyes to rest. At this moment, his eyes were still closed as he said,"Correct!"
great prince
Under the resentful gazes of the officials, Xie Jin said in a clear voice,"This minister Xie Jin wants to impeach the Duke of Wei, Xu Da!”
Whoosh--
The moment these words were said, the entire hall was in an uproar.
Even Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne and resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at this moment.
Who was Xu Da, Duke of Wei?
Founding merits were ranked first among generals!
In terms of public affairs, more than half of the Ming Dynasty was conquered by Great General Xu Da, and he had an indelible contribution to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
In terms of personal relationships, Duke of Wei Xu Da was the brother of the person sitting on the Dragon Platform. They had grown up wearing the same underwear and urinating and peeing together.
In terms of relationships, Xu Da was Zhu Yuanzhang's top in-laws. His eldest daughter, Xu Miaoyun, married the King of Yan, Zhu Di, and became the Princess Consort of Yan. The third daughter, Xu Miaojin, was engaged to Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved Prince Qiong, Zhu Bai. Not long after, she would become Princess Qiong.
For the public, for personal feelings, all the civil and military officials in the court are better than General Xu Da!
Even Li Shan Chang, who was a high-ranking official, did not dare to offend the Duke of Wei, Xu Da.
Under such a background, a small household official actually dared to risk universal condemnation and publicly impeach the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, in the court!
How could this not cause an uproar among the officials?
At this moment, almost all eyes were focused on Xie Jin.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon platform, finally spoke.
"Xie Jin, tell me, what do you want to impeach Xu Da for?”
Xie Jin, who was standing in the main hall, faced the question of Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,"This lowly subject wishes to impeach the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, for three times!”
Crash!
The entire court was in an uproar again!
Everyone thought that Xie Jin was trying to ride on Great General Xu Da's popularity so that the Emperor would remember him.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, he actually wanted to list out three impeachment statements!
Could it be that Xie Jin felt that his life was too comfortable and wanted to suffer a little?
Almost everyone noticed that the group of generals standing on the right was looking at Xie Jin as if he was an enemy on the battlefield.
However, Xie Jin, who was in the main hall, did not look askance and said righteously,""The first rule is that this lowly subject wishes to impeach the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, for leaving his post without permission!”
"As the Great General and a pillar of the court, he hasn't attended morning court for dozens of days and hasn't seen the Emperor. So many matters in the court are related to the Duke of Wei, Xu Da.”
When Xie Jin finished his first sentence, it was like a muffled thunder that exploded in the court.
The officials knew that Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, had not attended court for dozens of days, but few knew where he had gone.
However, everyone roughly understood in their hearts that for someone to sit in Xu Da's position and not attend court for dozens of days, that was definitely permitted by the Emperor.
But the household division to the matter Xie Jin, unexpectedly can say this matter without permission to leave his post, disloyal to Your Majesty!
These two simple sentences directly put a big hat on Great General Xu Da.
If it was someone else, why would they need the three points? Just this one point was enough to convict them.
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, who had always been standing among the princes, could no longer sit still when he saw this Hu Ke slandering his father-in-law, Xu Da, in such a manner. He stood up and scolded.
"Xie! Who exactly instructed you? How dare you slander an important minister of the country in the court? Can you bear such a crime?”
Xie Jin did not look at Zhu Di when he was questioned by him.
Instead, he kept looking at the dragon platform without showing any fear and said loudly,""This lowly official was not instructed by anyone. As a household official, impeaching and reporting is this lowly official's responsibility!”
After saying this, Xie Jin turned to look at Zhu Di and continued,""Dare I ask Your Highness, is it because Xu Da is the Great General, the Duke of Wei, and has made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country that he can not be impeached just because he has made a mistake?”
When the officials saw that Xie Jin actually dared to argue with the King of Yan, Zhu Di, in the court, they all condemned him.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon platform, looked at the chaotic court and coughed lightly.
* Cough *
The officials in the court immediately fell silent.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly said,""Xie Jin is right. You can't impeach or not impeach just because you're a high-ranking official.”
"As the secretary of the household registration department, you can do your job and not be afraid of power. Very good!”
After receiving the approval of Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, some of the ministers who had been loudly criticizing Xie Jin earlier had lowered their heads.
then
Zhu Yuanzhang continued,""The Duke of Wei, Xu Da, did not come to court for dozens of days. This is not considered to have left his post without permission, nor is it considered to be disloyal to me.”
When the ministers heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhu Di, who had stepped out of the line, retreated back, his expression recovering a little.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xie Jin, who was standing in the middle of the hall, and continued to ask,"" Xie Jin, didn't you say that you wanted to impeach Xu Da for his three days of crime?" I've explained the first clause to you. You can continue with the next two clauses.”
At this moment, almost all the ministers held their breaths as they looked at Xie Jin.
Anyone who knew what was going on could tell that Emperor Hongwu was giving Xie Jin a way out.
If Xie Jin apologized and admitted his mistake at this time, it would naturally be over.
It wasn't too much of an offense to Xu Da's generals and the King of Yan.
He could also leave a name in His Majesty's heart.
After all, Xie Jin dared to impeach the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, in front of all the civil and military officials. He had already left a good impression on Zhu Yuanzhang that he was not afraid of power.
Withdrawing at this moment was undoubtedly the best choice.
But standing in the middle of the hall, Xie Jin did not think this way, nor did he do it.
"This lowly official wants to impeach the second point. It is that the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, deceived His Majesty and was unworthy of being a subject!”
Rumble!
When Xie Jin said this, almost everyone lowered their heads.
Usually, he had a good personal relationship with Xie Jin, but at this moment, his entire body started to tremble involuntarily.
His thoughts were no longer in the court, but on how to get rid of Xie Jin and avoid being implicated.
He was a vassal in vain!
The lethality of these words could be said to be extremely strong. Xie Jin, who said these words, could be said to have gambled his lifelong political power and career!
