On the seventh day of the fourth month of the 11th year of Wanli, Zhao Yumin, the chief military officer of Liaodong and Ning Yuanbo, was impeached by Zhao Yumin, the chief military officer of Liaodong, and Li Chengliang, who was impeached for selfish reasons and unfair rewards and punishments.

Zhao Yumin's impeachment is obviously due to Gao Pragmatic's instructions - he and Gao Pragmatic can be regarded as "old friends".

As early as the seventh year of Wanli, Zhao Yumin, who was in charge of the affairs at the time, had to impeach Ling Yunyi, who offended Gao Pragmatic, and later when Gao Pragmatic was appointed as the Guangxi Governor, Zhao Yumin had been promoted to Guangxi Political Envoy Si Zuo to participate in politics, and Gao Pragmatic also had a lot of dealings.

At the end of last year, Zhao Yumin completed the three-year examination in Guangxi and was promoted to the post of inspector in Shandong.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Yumin can easily accept Gao Shishi's instructions to impeach a figure like Li Chengliang is mainly because his teacher is Guo Pu.

Since Zhao Yumin is the gold list of Longqing for five years, Gao Shishi usually calls him a senior brother.

Senior brother and junior brother, it's just a matter of the order of being on the gold list, in fact, within the real school, Zhao Yumin's status is obviously much lower than Gao Pragmatic, since Gao Pragmatic asked him to do something, how could he refuse? Besides, he himself always felt that this Shandong inspection envoy could fall on his head, and he might still be stained with the light of high pragmatism.

It is said that when the cabinet was dealing with these transfers, he had several places to go, including Yunnan, Shaanxi, and Shandong, and his posts were all on the basis of probation. Among these three provinces, it is obvious that Shandong is the best item, so the competition is also fierce, and in the end, it was Yuanfu Zhang Siwei who personally made the decision.

Zhao Yumin felt that the reason why Yuan Fu strongly advocated for him to come to Shandong was mostly because of high pragmatism - after all, Shandong and Liaodong are one in government affairs!

Sure enough, he had only been in Shandong for three months, and Gao Pragmatic had something to ask him for help.

The impeachment of the provincial general army is not a big deal or a trivial matter for a provincial envoy, but it also depends on the person, and Li Chengliang is obviously not an ordinary general soldier.

If the Shandong Inspectorate or the Metropolitan Procuratorate of Shandong Province and the Imperial History of Shandong Province, or the Military Department give the middle class people to impeach, it is not a big problem, but it is still a bit dangerous to impeach according to the inspector.

However, Zhao Yumin is not afraid, and even a little eager to try, the inside information is really not enough for outsiders, anyway, in Zhao Lianxian's view, helping Gao pragmatic is simply a precursor to promotion and wealth.

Zhao Lianxian's impeachment is not serious to say that it is serious, after all, the crime of "selfishness and unfair rewards and punishments" can be big or small, and Zhao Lianxian's impeachment is aimed at Li Chengliang's handling of the problem of Kaiyuan, Fushun and other horse markets, because the status of the Jurchens in the eyes of the imperial court is relatively ordinary, so normally speaking, it should not be a big problem.

Zhao Yumin's main accusation of Li Chengliang in his recital is that he believes that Li Chengliang is tired of distributing the edicts captured in previous wars.

He said that seventy percent of the edicts seized by Li Chengliang were distributed to the Hada Ministry, and the other two Ministries of Huifa and Ula each took one percent, and these three families accounted for ninety percent of the total, and all of these three were Haixi Jurchens.

Putting aside the Yehe Department that has been on guard in recent years, the five departments of Jianzhou are only divided into one percent, and the three departments of Changbai Mountain are basically none, even if there are a few, they belong to the level that can be "ignored", and the more distant savage Jurchen will not mention it.

Regarding this situation, Zhao Lianxian believes that it is a manifestation of Li Chengliang's "selfishness", because the Fourth Department of Haixi is the closest to Li Chengliang's hometown of Tieling, and many of the families under Li Chengliang's command are from the "Yiding" of the Fourth Department of Haixi, especially the Hada Department.

Zhao Lianxian even came up with a statistic, saying that among Li Chengliang's family, there are only about 4,000 people from the "Yiding" from the Hada Department, and there are also "nearly 1,000" from the Huifa Department, and even the "Yiding" from the Yehe Department has five or six hundred, but only the Ula Department has only about 100 people serving in Li Chengliang's army due to the barrier of the previous three departments.

Zhao Lianxian said that it was precisely for this reason that Li Chengliang took special care of the Hada Ministry in the distribution of edicts, which led to a serious consequence, that is, "all the ministries have resentment" and are "hostile to Hada", which not only makes the Hada Ministry "all enemies", but also makes the Jurchen Ministries think that the court is unfair, which seriously damages the prestige of the emperor.

All in all, Zhao Lianxian believes that the Hada tribe was attacked by the Yehe and Mongol coalition forces last year, and the Huifa and Ula tribes, both Haixi Jurchens, were obviously "constrained by the Hada" tribes recognized by the imperial court before, but they all chose to stand still, because the imperial court was already unfair in their minds, and Baylor of Hada was not worthy of being the "lord of Manchukuo" in their eyes.

In other words, all of this is due to Li Chengliang's selfishness and unfair rewards and punishments.

Except for a few data, almost all of this impeachment is inferential, of course, it will not have any immediate effect, so the reaction of the imperial court is not great, and it is just a routine transfer of this impeachment to Li Chengliang in Guangning, so that he can defend himself.

When Li Chengliang received the news, he was discussing with his three younger brothers Li Chengcai, Li Chengshi and Li Chenglin.

Coincidentally, they also discussed the situation of Kaiyuan.

Li Chenglin, the fourth brother who "stayed" in Tieling's hometown and was in charge of the Li family's affairs in northern Liaoning, said that he found that someone had secretly visited the Li family's business in Kaiyuan Horse Market recently, and was interrupted by Li Rubai, who came in a hurry.

"Dad, second uncle, third uncle, old uncle, there is an urgent report from the court."

Li Chengliang frowned and looked at Li Rubai, and asked in an unhappy tone: "Urgent report, how anxious is it?" ”

"You've been impeached." Li Rubai said: "The court let you defend yourself. ”

Li Chengliang snorted lightly: "What month of the year will you not be impeached, what is the hurry?" Give it to the masters first, let them draft a self-defense, and bring it to me. ”

Li Rubai hurriedly said: "This time is a little different, it was impeached by Zhao Yumin, who was the new Shandong envoy at the end of last year. ”

"Zhao Yumin?" Li Chengliang tilted his head and thought about it, then frowned and said, "I remember that he is Guo Dongye's protégé...... Oh, what did he impeach me? ”

"He impeached you for selfishness and unfair rewards and punishments." Li Rubai raised the official document in his hand and said: "He said that the Hada Department was beaten last year because you were partial to Hada, which caused the Hada Department to be hated by the Jurchen tribes, so he was beaten by Ye He and the Mongolian Tatars. ”

"Ridiculous!" Li Chengliang leaned back on the back of the Taishi chair, and said with disdain: "Guo Dongye's protégé, is he actually at this level?" How did this guy come up? ”

Li Rubai couldn't answer this question, but Li Chengcai was very familiar with the history of the imperial court, and immediately replied when he heard the words: "Zhao Yumin's guy can be regarded as climbing up along Gao Qiuzhen's thigh." In the seventh year of Wanli, he cooperated with Lin Yicai's brothers to help Gao Qiuzhen impeach Ling Yunyi, and later ...... If I remember correctly, he worked in Guangxi with Gao Qiuzhen. If nothing else, he, the Shandong Provincial Inspector, might have been asked for by Gao Qiuzhen from Zhang Puzhou. ”

As soon as he heard that it was related to Gao Pragmatism, Li Chengliang suddenly got upright, sat up straight, and beckoned to Li Rubai: "Bring it to me." ”

Li Rubai hurriedly presented the official document in his hand with both hands, and Li Chengliang grabbed it and opened it to take a closer look.

After reading it for a while, he handed the official document back to Li Rubai and instructed, "Give it to your second uncle." Li Rubai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent it to Li Chengcai.

After reading it, Li Chengcai frowned and handed it to Li Chengshi, while hesitating to Li Chengliang: "This matter...... Something seems strange. ”

"No, it seems, it's weird." Li Chengliang said with some annoyance: "I don't know this Zhao Yumin, he shouldn't have any reason to play this with me, I think this should be the meaning of seeking truth from the truth." ”

Li Chengcai nodded, but said again: "But what is the use of Gao Qiuzhen talking about this thing?" Zhao Yumin's things, except for those few people, the rest are all, there is no evidence, this kind of thing is sent to the celebrant supervisor, can the emperor believe it? ”

"That's why I said it's weird." Li Chengliang frowned and muttered: "We have dealt with Gao Qiuzhen a few times, do you think he will be a fool?" ”

Li Chengcai waved his hand and said, "That's naturally impossible." What the elder brother means is that Gao Qiuzhen's move is ...... Ulterior motives? ”

Li Chengliang twisted his beard and thought: "I think it's certain that he has ulterior motives, but the question is what his intentions are...... This kind of painless thing really doesn't seem like his means. Don't forget what I told you a few days ago, as early as when the first emperor was in control of Bintian, the fall of Zhang Taiyue and Feng Shuanglin was very strange, not like an accident, nor like Gao Xinzheng's style, but very similar to Gao Qiuzhen's style later. ”

Li Chengcai said: "Yes, my brother is right, Gao Xinzheng is doing things in a hurry, but he rarely plays conspiracy and tricks, and he always goes straight." But Gao Qiuzhen is like a poisonous snake, either he doesn't move, or he will die if he moves...... It would be a bit strange to say that such a painless impeachment was from him. ”

Li Chengshi, the third elder of the Li family, suddenly interjected at this time, and said: "Eldest brother, second brother, have you noticed one thing, although Gao Qiuzhen is quite uneasy with our Li family, he doesn't seem to have offended the eldest brother to death, as if he always has some strength." ”

Li Chenglin also agreed with this sentence and said: "Yes, the younger brother also discovered this, although he always has trouble with the eldest brother, he has never been ruthless...... Uh, forgive me, second brother. ”

Li Chengcai knew what the old man meant, and in his words just now, he said that Li Rugui was dismissed and imprisoned by Gao Pragmatic as "not ruthless", so he said "forgive me".

It doesn't matter, although Li Rugui is Li Chengcai's son, his status in the Li family is obviously not very important, although Li Chenglin's words are more direct, they are not wrong, so Li Chengcai waved his hand to say that it was okay.

Li Chengliang thought for a while and asked: "Is there a possibility, that is, Gao Qiuzhen is convinced that I, Li Chengliang, have already voted for Shen Cifu and them, and Gao Qiuzhen has nothing to do with me for a while, so he only uses these small means to remind or warn me?" ”

Li Chengcai shook his head and said, "Little brother doesn't think it's like it." Brother, if it was really as you said, Gao Qiuzhen dared to make a move against a character like Zhang Jiangling ten years ago, then ten years later, is he less daring? Although Gao Xinzheng was still in power ten years ago, isn't Zhang Puzhou in power now? How big of a difference can that be? What's more, Gao Qiuzhen's real reliance now is probably ...... That man. ”

When Li Chengcai said this, he pointed his finger at the sky, and then continued: "In that case, how could he throw a rat trap because he was worried about Shen Cifu's reaction?" ”

Li Rubai couldn't help but say at this time: "I think Gao Qiu is really afraid of the army in the hands of my father......"

"Shut up, you have to intervene for your father and your three uncles?" Li Chengliang glared at his son.

Li Rubai didn't dare to refute and shut up.

"Big brother, did you say that Gao Qiu really fell in love with our family's business?" Li Chenglin frowned and said, "Otherwise, why didn't Zhao Yumin mention anything else, and always talk about the situation over there?" ”

Li Chengliang frowned and said, "You mean the horse market?" ”

"Yes, don't forget, eldest brother, Gao Qiuzhen has just returned to Liaoyang from Kaiyuan." Li Chenglin replied.

This time Li Chengliang did not answer immediately, but thought about it seriously, but Li Chengcai shook his head and said: "Although Gao Qiuzhen is rich and powerful, he doesn't look like a greedy person, I heard that he and Tumut bought and traded, a year to give the household more than 200,000 taels, a few ports are even more powerful, last year it seems to have given the household nearly 400,000 taels."

If you add some other trades, last year alone, his Jinghua family alone had to have seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver for the imperial court, not one million taels...... How much money is that? Let's open the plains, and even say how much is the income in the entire Liaodong horse market? Eleven with this money? I don't think Gao Qiuzhen can afford this kind of money. ”

Li Chenglin was a little unconvinced, and said: "Second brother, that's not what you said, who is too much for such a thing as silver?" ”

This time, before Li Chengcai could speak, Li Chengliang opened his mouth and said, "I don't believe that Gao Qiu really likes this bit of silver." He said with a somewhat gloomy gaze: "I think Gao Qiu really wants to remind me that he already knows where the money for our Li family's soldiers comes from......

Li Chengshi was a little puzzled and asked, "But what if you know this?" There are so many generals in the court, who doesn't have a family? After all, the breadwinner of the family is always one of those sources, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, what will we rely on if we don't rely on the horse market? Is it enough to feed just by eating the military register? ”

Li Chengliang shook his head and said: "I think Gao Qiuzhen should understand this truth, but he may not want me to spit out this money...... I still suspect that he was forcing me to 'get off the boat'. ”

Disembarked?

Li Chengliang's three younger brothers glanced at each other and understood the meaning of the word. Li Chengcai hesitated: "Brother means, Gao Qiu is really forcing you to stand on the side of their Gao Party?" But he was not afraid of Zhang Taiyue ten years ago, and he should not be afraid of Shen Yaoquan now, is it necessary to do this? ”

Li Chengliang thought about it, and also felt that Li Chengcai's idea was not unreasonable, groaned, and said in a cold tone: "If this is not the case, then there is only one possibility-Gao Qiuzhen wants to completely master Liaodong, so I have to force me to bow down to him and obey him." ”
