The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture was changed, and the magistrate of Daxing County was also cut off.

Is this the end of this matter?

Of course not!

This is the beginning!

An 8x extra pledge is simply forcing everyone to die!

The next day, there was no morning court, but the entire capital became nervous.

It is said that people from the Ministry of Revenue have left the capital overnight and went to 22 other counties to check tax issues one by one.

I heard that the factory guards also went out in private.

Not only that, Wang Yongguang, the Minister of Personnel, wrote a memorial to the emperor overnight, which was first sent to the Tongzheng Department by the Tongzheng Envoy.

So the content of the memorial is not a secret.

There is a lot of nonsense, but the meaning is also clear: there may be extra sects everywhere, and the court should investigate them strictly.

That night, the cabinet chief Zhou Yanru visited Wang Yongguang again.

He said: "Mr. Wang, this memorial cannot be submitted."

Wang Yongguang said: "Why?"

Zhou Yanru said concisely: "Your Majesty knows that the additional sects in other provinces are also very serious, but now it is revealed that the court will investigate strictly, or not, what can we find out? If it cannot be investigated strictly, the prestige of the court will be damaged by the time of investigation. If it is not investigated strictly, the officials below will know that the court knows and ignores it, and it will become worse. At that time, Your Majesty will inevitably be in trouble. We ministers will all share the worries for the king, not causing trouble."

When Wang Yongguang heard this, he immediately patted his forehead: "Look at me, I am so confused! Thank you Mr. Zhou! Thank you Mr. Zhou!"

"I have brought the memorial back to you, so I won't hand it over." Zhou Yanru took out Wang Yongguang's memorial from the cuff and placed it on the table.

"That Majesty..."

"Your Majesty will investigate strictly, but it will only be limited to Shuntian Mansion. It will not expand the matter. Your Majesty's heart is as clear as a mirror."

After saying that, Zhou Yanru stood up and left.

"Go to see Mr. Zhou."

After Zhou Yanru left, Wang Yongguang began to think about a question.

Zhou Yanru was so accurate in his grasp of the emperor's mind that Wang Yongguang was afraid.

He has reminded himself twice in a row, what is his purpose?

There is nothing more than just one interest in the court.

Wang Yongguang thought about it and found that Zhou Yanru just wanted to rely on the Ministry of Personnel to continue to install his own people.

Wen Tiren is now making a fortune outside. Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren are both in appearance and ingenuity, so the crisis in Zhou Ge Lao is still very deep.

Wang Yongguang cleaned up and asked him to send a message to Wang Hou, the doctor of the Qing official department of the Ministry of Personnel, and asked him to send someone to the county government below to investigate the additional assignment overnight.

Even the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture has been removed from office, so this is definitely not a trivial matter.

The Ministry of Personnel has issued the task of selecting officials and also conducting assessments of officials.

Just say that the magistrates in Shuntian Prefecture are recommended a few months ago and are all from the Ministry of Personnel.

If they are really trying hard to play extra school, the emperor will definitely scold the Ministry of Personnel. As for the consequences, Wang Yongguang is not sure now.

And then again, the reason why Wang Yongguang wanted to submit a memorial to the emperor was definitely not because he had a problem with his mind, which made the emperor difficult to make it difficult for him.

Instead, he felt a sense of crisis and wanted to transfer his attention to the extra sect from Shuntian Prefecture to the whole country, thereby downplaying the extra sect from Shuntian Prefecture and preventing the emperor from sending his anger to the Ministry of Personnel.

Since it doesn't work to divert attention, I can only go and check it overnight.

The next day, Chongzhen woke up in Zhou Wanyan's bed. Zhou Wanyan was sleeping soundly. Chongzhen got up by himself, put on his clothes and returned to Qianqing Palace.

The first person standing at the entrance of the Ganqing Palace was Qiu Hejia.

Chongzhen was having breakfast, and Wang Chengen said that Qiu Hejia was asking for a meeting outside, but Chongzhen was a little surprised: "Xuan came in."

Qiu Hejia strode in: "See Your Majesty."

“Have you used breakfast?”

"I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Wang Cheng'en, prepare one for Lord Qiu."

Qiu Hejia was quickly flattered: "I dare not!"

"Sit down and have a meal first, and then talk about it after using it."

The emperor spoke, but Qiu Hejia didn't dare to say anything more, so he sat down and started having a meal.

He did not expect that the emperor who cut down all the magistrates of Shuntian Prefecture would be so approachable, which was beyond his expectations.

And it is a great honor to be able to have breakfast with the emperor!

After finishing breakfast and drinking another cup of tea, Chongzhen spoke lightly: "What's wrong with Qiu Aiqing so early?"

Qiu Hejia stood up, took out the memorial in his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "I have sent someone to the county government office below to verify it last night. There are a total of sixteen counties with additional assignments, and the list and the amount of additional assignments are included."

Chongzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, it was interesting. Qiu Hejia did things quickly enough, and this person's execution ability was so strong!

It's indeed a good player!

Looking at Qiu Hejia again, he probably didn't sleep all night and entered the palace early.

Wang Chengen took the memorial in Qiu Hejia's hand and placed it carefully on Chongzhen's table.

Chongzhen opened it and read it word by word. After reading it, he said, "What suggestions do you have?"

"Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict that will never be sent. I believe that all the sixteen magistrates should be killed, but they have just taken office and they will definitely have an impact if they kill again."

Chongzhen put the memorial table on the table, picked up the teacup and drank it, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, some officials of the Ming Dynasty are."

There was a little eunuch at the door outside. Wang Chengen hurried over and the little eunuch whispered a few words.

Wang Chengen came over and said, "Your Majesty, Shangshu Wang is asking for a meeting outside."

"Come in."

Wang Yongguang walked in quickly with small steps, knelt on the ground and said, "I will meet your Majesty."

"Shu Wang (Chongzhen in history respected Wang Yongguang very much and called him Wang Shangshu) was exempted from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Is there anything wrong with Shangshu Wang so early?"

"Your Majesty, this is a memorial for all the magistrates of Shuntian Prefecture. I have found out that I am guilty of my crime, but I don't know what I know. Please punish me."

Wang Chengen presented the memorial from Wang Yongguang again. After Chongzhen finished reading it, it was exactly the same as Qiu Hejia's.

"Wang Yongguang."

"I'm here!"

"You immediately title the candidates from these sixteen counties and look for them from the local juren!"

"yes!"

"The sixteen people wantonly sent additional troops to disobey the court, oppress the people, and behead them."

The eunuch who was holding the pen on the side quickly said, "Yes!"

"The new magistrate must be watching their heads fall to the ground, and their heads must be hung in the magistrate's office for three days. They must be hung. Whoever dares to take them off, I will hang his head! Send the order quickly!"

"yes!"

A cold sweat broke out on Wang Yongguang's forehead.

The emperor did this simply to tell the newly appointed ex how his ex died.
Chapter completed!
