Chapter 1575： It all depends on peers

Chapter 1575 All thanks to peers

One second the imperial decree had just been read, and the next second Liu Xi, the prefect of Shaoxing, was taken off his black gauze hat and official uniform on the spot, and was pulled out of the hall in public.

This scene shocked everyone!

Although they were already mentally prepared, this scene still exceeded their expectations, and the punishment from the Holy One was heavier than they expected!

They originally thought that Liu Xi might be demoted and fined, and the punishment was almost like that. But I never expected that Liu Xi would be demoted directly to become a citizen! A push to the end! His official career is over!

After Liu Xi was punished, Xu Ziyi on the side suddenly became nervous, and his toes were clenched. In fact, his situation is almost the same as that of Liu Xi. The two of them joined forces to suppress the Japanese, and Liu Xi was dismissed as a civilian. For the sake of his meritorious service in the past, he can be punished lightly and let him commit crimes and meritorious deeds

"Xu Ziyi, a thousand households of Zhenhaiwei, was incompetent in the battle against the Japanese, and his command was incompetent, causing heavy casualties on his own side. His paralysis caused the Japanese pirates to cross the river and escape, and killed Qian Jing, the censor who returned home. He failed the emperor's grace. Cut off the official positions of thousands of households, deprive them of hereditary shadows, and demote them to soldiers!" Chen Hong continued to read.

Fifty punishment with a cane! Turn your job into a soldier! Deprive the shadow of the world!

Each of these punishments is like a heavy hammer, one hammer after another, hammering on Xu Ziyi!

"Sinful General Commander, thank you Lord Long Grace!"

Xu Ziyi seemed to have lost his muscles and bones, and fell to his knees with a plop, his head firmly knocked on the ground.

The factory guard who was staring at him couldn't help but step forward, dragged Xu Ziyi up from the ground, took off his cap first, then his official uniform, then strung his arms outside the hall, and pressed him on a bench in front of everyone , Raise the staff and hit.

Bang! Bang! Bang.

Ah! Ah! Ah.

The sound of the court stick hitting the body hard, and Xu Ziyi's screams were clearly heard by everyone in the hall!

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became more oppressive and tense.

"Zhang Chang, the magistrate of Changhua County, was ineffective in defending the border, and was incompetent in suppressing the Japanese. He was defeated by the Japanese pirates and suffered heavy casualties. As a result, the Japanese invaded Changhua County to burn, kill and loot.

"Dong Da, a **** in Yuqian County, was incompetent in suppressing the Japanese. He underestimated the enemy's carelessness. He was in an ambush by the Japanese pirates. After injuring several people, he was timid and afraid to fight. He fled with his troops and failed the emperor's grace. He was sentenced to one hundred sticks and lost his official position. , never use"

"Ma Long, the county magistrate of Yuqian County, was not effective in guarding the territory. He didn't know people well, and he had no supervision. The territory was looted by Japanese pirates. The people suffered heavy casualties. He failed the emperor's grace. He was fined for three years and demoted to the county magistrate on the spot to see the effect. "

Chen Hong stood in front of a group of officials, holding the imperial decree, and read out the imperial decree expressionlessly. Every time an official’s punishment was read, the factory guards stepped forward to remove the black gauze hat, and pulled out the court staff to strike the court staff.

No wonder you have to identify the person in advance. This person who picks the black yarn and wears the court staff is going to recognize the wrong person, so it’s okay!

All the officials are concerned.

"This feeling is really cool." When Chen Hong read out the imperial decree, he looked at the audience from the corner of his eyes and saw a group of officials standing at the bottom like quails. He felt great satisfaction in his heart. This is what I, Chen Hong, pursued.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the time when his family was desolate, his marriage was rescinded, and he was ridiculed by everyone.

At that time, he swore: Better bully the white-bearded man than bully the young and poor. One day, the dragon will wear the phoenix, and don't believe that you will have holes in your trousers forever! My life, Chen Hong, shouldn't be like this! I want to climb up, I want to get ahead! I want to become a master! I want those who laugh at me, humiliate me, and look down on me to pay the price in blood! I want to take revenge on them, take revenge on them severely! I want to stand up! I want to change my destiny!

Did you see, I did it, these civil and military officials trembled in front of me, life and death honor and disgrace are in my hands.

I will do better! Climb higher!

Chen Hong was not satisfied.

Zhu Pingan listened carefully below, and found that the order of punishment was carried out according to the route of the Japanese pirates in Shangyu, and the officials on the route of Shaoxing, Changhua, and Yuqian were named one after another.

According to this order, the next target should be Chun'an County, wait, Chun'an County.

Isn’t the magistrate of Chun’an County the famous Hai Rui in the future?!

That means Hai Rui has also arrived?!

Zhu Pingan remembered that he met Hai Rui once on the way to Beijing last time, but Hai Rui probably didn't remember him, so Zhu Pingan patrolled the crowd without any trace, and he saw Hai Rui's figure.

Actually, Hai Rui stood out in the crowd!

All the officials present were wearing brand new official uniforms, only Hai Rui was wearing a starched and somewhat faded blue official uniform with three patches on it. Although the stitches were tight, they were still very obvious.

Uh, I remembered, the last time I met Hai Rui, his official uniform was like this. Damn, there were two patches last time.

More than half a year has passed, and another patch has been added.

Among the crowd, Hai Rui stood upright, like a penholder. Unlike other officials in Qi Qiran, Hai Rui's expression was calm and calm. Even though it was his turn soon, he was still as calm as a mountain.

"Hai Rui, Magistrate of Chun'an County." Chen Hong's voice sounded.

As expected, Zhu Pingan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then listened attentively.

In my impression, Chun'an County was also attacked by Japanese pirates, but the situation was better. Chun'an County was not breached by Japanese pirates, and Chun'an County was safe, but the towns below were burned, killed and looted by Japanese pirates. I don't know what kind of reward and punishment Hai Rui will receive.

Chen Hong's voice continued, "Although Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County, defended Chun'an County, the Japanese invaded the city and went down to the three towns of Chun'an, burning, killing and looting. Defeated, more than 100 people were injured by our own side, and two enemies were injured. We fought and retreated, retreated to the county seat, and invited Changhua and Yuqian counties to send troops to attack the Japanese pirates. The salary is one year, and the annual performance appraisal is incompetent."

"Minister Hai Rui took the order to thank you, but failed to wipe out the Japanese in the territory, the minister owed the emperor's grace" Hai Rui knelt down to receive the order, with a face of shame.

Fortunately, it was only a one-year salary penalty and incompetence in the annual assessment. Hearing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but feel relieved for Hai Rui.

Although Hai Rui did not perform well against the Japanese in Chun'an County. Although he defended the county seat, he was defeated by the Japanese pirates in three towns. He led the attack and was defeated by the Japanese pirates. Zhang Chang, the magistrate of the county, was even worse in suppressing the Japanese. Not only was he defeated by the Japanese pirates, he was also attacked by the Japanese pirates. There was also Yuqian County. Dong Da, the official of Yuqian County, led the army to suppress the Japanese. He didn't even dare to fight the Japanese pirates. In comparison, Hai Rui's performance was acceptable. He defended the county seat, dared to attack the Japanese pirates, and even injured two Japanese pirates.
