"Praise to kill!"

Knowing that the news outside was getting more and more heated, Li Dongyang changed his face slightly, and once again learned about his student's skills.

Cruel, really cruel.

We will never give up until those officials are punished to death!

Let scholars go to farm in Liaodong and ruin the reputation of resigned officials. Things that have never happened since the Song Dynasty have all happened in the hands of Zhu Houzhao!

He doesn't kill easily, but when he does it, he is ten times more ferocious than killing people. He has already mastered the art of killing people and killing people!

"well......"

Li Dongyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He trained a tough-minded monarch for the Ming Dynasty, and personally dug a big tomb for the literati group that had been extremely prosperous since the Song Dynasty. A hundred years later, he still doesn't know how the world will evaluate his Ming cabinet.

First assistant.

The sky outside was still blue and vast, but he felt that there was no room for him to stand in this court. Maybe he should resign, return to his hometown to retire, have grandchildren, and retreat bravely. It was better than being caught between Zhu Houzhao and the civil servants.

Between groups, it is better to be in a dilemma.

...

"When there is something to do, start the court, and when there is nothing to do, leave the court."

As Liu Jin finished speaking, Yan Song, who had already received Zhu Houzhao's instructions, immediately jumped out: "Your Majesty, Zhang Wenjie, a member of the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, and other officials who resigned and returned to their hometowns a few days ago..."

Yan Song made a lot of nonsense, and the summary was that Zhang Wenjie and others had been corrupt and perverted the law, and the news had spread throughout the capital. The people were agitated and must be arrested and severely investigated. Otherwise, where would the court's laws be and where would the emperor's face be?

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you think of this?"

No matter how you look at it, you can see with your eyes that no one among the ministers has had any contact with each other. They know very clearly the character of those officials who resigned, but no one is clean. They can definitely check it out, but they are worried that they will be implicated.

On your own head.

"The left deputy censor of the Imperial Palace..."

"minister......"

The trolls from the Metropolitan Procuratorate have begun to exert their strength. They can't do other things, but they are definitely experts at trolling. Regardless of whether those resigned officials are guilty or not, just troll!

Guilty, of course, it is because they, the censors, are so sharp-eyed and discerning that they have uncovered a group of criminals for the imperial court, adding a very considerable contribution to their political career. If they operate it properly, they may even be able to fight against the enemy.

It is no longer a dream to have a clear name such as Yushi and go down in history.

If you are not guilty, then just do what you should do. They are the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Taizu has orders. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the power to report on rumors. It is also within their scope of authority to suspect that some officials are corrupt and bend the law.

The imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was the troublemaker of the Ming Dynasty, but he was also extremely useful. This was also the ultimate purpose of Zhu Houzhao in arranging Yan Song to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If he had control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he would be in control.

gave him half of the say in the court.

"Asshole..."

Zhu Houzhao was "livid" and said angrily: "It's a shame that I thought they were loyal to the country and caring for the people, but I didn't realize that they were all corrupt and perverting the law. It's simply abominable."

"I think they resigned and returned to their hometowns because they had a guilty conscience and were afraid of being accused by the court. They kept saying they were thinking about the people. They clearly wanted to escape."

The ministers watched Zhu Houzhao's performance quietly. In a short period of time, the scandals of those resigned officials were exposed one after another. If Zhu Houzhao was not behind it, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.

I originally thought that the matter was over when Zhu Houzhao kicked those people out of the court, but I never thought that Zhu Houzhao's methods were now vicious and sinister. He clearly wanted those officials who resigned to be ruined and worse off than to be thrown into farming in Liaodong.

Reputation is the most important thing for a literati in life. If his reputation is gone, no one will take it seriously. He will become a target of being spurned wherever he goes. In that case, it will be even more uncomfortable for them than killing those who resigned.

An emperor cannot lose his power for a day, and a scholar cannot lose his reputation for a day!

"The decree is passed, ordering Dongchang to immediately arrest all those involved in the case and bring them to justice. The three departments of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will conduct a joint investigation. The case must be investigated to the bottom of the case and give an explanation to the people of the world."

We are currently in a critical period, and it is not appropriate to make things bigger. Zhu Houzhao just raised it high and put it down gently, with the purpose of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. As long as we don't make trouble with him at this juncture, those who only want to seize the land and make money, corrupt and pervert the law

The officials will be able to deal with it sooner or later.

"I obey the decree."

Officials from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate exchanged glances with each other, and they already had a clear idea of ​​how the case would be tried.

Not only can the case not be fully investigated, but the case must be closed quickly. If the truth is really brought to light, most of the officials in the six ministries and three academies will suffer. They only need to satisfy the people and the emperor!

How to make the people satisfy the emperor is even simpler. It is nothing more than aggrieving those former colleagues who are now street rats!

A dead Taoist friend should not die a poor Taoist!

They are all working in the officialdom, and no one knows how to operate.

"Your salary and your salary, the wealth of the people and the anointing of the people, make it easy for the people to abuse you, but it is difficult for God to bully you!"

"My dear friends, please keep this sentence in mind. The imperial court depends on the people of the world. Your food, clothing, housing and transportation also come from the people. Don't make big mistakes because of temporary greed. Otherwise, even if I want to let you go, the people of the world will

I won’t let you go.”

This is Zhu Houzhao's ultimatum to his ministers. It's too late to stop now, and he doesn't bother to pursue the bad things in the past. But if he persists in it, you can't blame him for not thinking about it when he completes his reform and turns around to change the court's blood.

The love between a monarch and his subjects!

Upon hearing Zhu Houzhao's warning, the officials had different expressions and had their own thoughts.

Some ministers with less corruption decided to stop here. In the third reform of Wang Yangming's reform, it was mentioned to rectify the salary of officials and improve the treatment of officials. There is no need to continue to extend their hands and ignore the great future.

Most of these officials are from poor families. Their salary from the court is not high, and they do not have much money to make a living. It is difficult to maintain their living expenses, so they have to be greedy. They still have conscience in their hearts, and there is still the possibility of reforming.

However, most people are still indifferent. If they are not allowed to make money, it is better to let them die.

Since the Song Dynasty, officials making money has become an invisible unspoken rule in the officialdom. It takes three years to clear the prefecture and earn one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Is it a joke?

No matter how cruel Zhu Yuanzhang was against corrupt officials, such as peeling off the skin, adding officials, having their intestines removed, being tortured, being beaten, and all kinds of punishments that would make ghosts afraid of them, they could not stop their greedy hearts, let alone Zhu Houzhao.

A verbal warning.

They have to be greedy when they should be greedy, and they have to make money when they should be. They firmly believe that scholars in the world will be killed endlessly, and corrupt officials in the world will also be killed endlessly. Instead of letting the newcomers who have done nothing to be corrupt, it is better to let them, the pillars of the court, be corrupt.

, they worked hard to maintain the operation of the court for Zhu Houzhao, shouldn't they get a little money?
