Chapter 1141: Integrity Storm

The progress of the matter was indeed as Xu Jie expected. After a few tests, Gao Gong found that Xu Jie was really honest and acted as a transparent person in the cabinet, which made people recall Xu Jie during the Yan Song Dynasty. This made Gao Gong look down on Xu Jie deeply in his heart, and at the same time, Gao Gong also began his own administrative program.

Gao Gong was originally aloof, but when he saw Luo Xin killing all the way, so many corrupt officials appeared. Emperor Jiajing took out 700,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to provide disaster relief, only 100,000 taels of disaster relief, and those corrupt officials actually embezzled 600,000 taels, which made Gao Gong extremely angry. He slapped the tables and shouted, "Good kill!" in the cabinet.

Seeing that Luo Xin had killed the corrupt officials, he immediately added the officials. Moreover, those officials were in a clear and clear manner, governing those provinces in an orderly manner, and the refugees and bandits disappeared, and the people lived and worked in peace.

To be honest, one is clear and one is high. This is pure and honest, this is honest, this is high and above. This is high and above is spiritual and above.

Gao Gong only saw the new officials appointed by Luo Xin, who were honest and self-disciplined, and had to manage the local government in an orderly manner. No one embezzled and bribed, and no one was scattered in his position. However, he instinctively ignored the reason why these people were like to work hard, not that they increased their corruption and did not like money, but that they watched Luo Xin's decisive killing with their own eyes, and were afraid of killing.

If they were still in the capital, they would pass by listening to it, and at most they would become a topic of conversation after dinner. However, just in front of you, watching the heads fall to the ground from a close distance, it would have a huge impact on them. In this case, how dare you embezzle? How dare you live a life?

At the very least, you will not embezzle or stumble in the short term. You need to wait for the loss of time, and the impact in your heart will slowly disappear, and the seeds of greed will slowly sprout.

Gao Gong didn't see these things. What he saw was that as long as the corrupt officials were dismissed...

good!

Just dismissal from office!

He was not so crazy that he beheaded the corrupt officials like Luo Xin. He just wanted to dismiss those corrupt officials and replace them with a group of new officials. Those new officials will definitely be as honest and self-disciplined as the officials arranged by Luo Xin, and work hard. In this way, the Ming Dynasty will soon be revitalized in his own hands, and will leave a heavy mark for him in history.

Gao Gong clearly realized that the corruption in the Ming Dynasty had reached a point where it was necessary to be cured. When Yan Song was in power, corruption in the Ming Dynasty became popular, and there were almost no people who were not greedy. After Yan Song, Xu Jie was promoted. However, it was not long before Xu Jie took office, Gao Gong entered the cabinet. The two people fought in the cabinet and did not effectively crack down on corruption. Instead, for their own purposes, sometimes they had to turn a blind eye.

but……

Now Gao Gong feels that he has mastered the cabinet and should make a difference. If he wants to make a difference, he must start with the Censorate, so Gao Gong began to act resolutely. His first step was to sort out the Censorate. In fact, the Censorate was like a small court, divided into several forces.

One of them belongs to him Gao Gong, the other belongs to Xu Jie, and the other belongs to the centrist. There are two more of them in this centrist. One of them was originally a centrist. They were Qingliu and did not rely on anyone. The other one originally belonged to Yan Song. After Yan Song fell, Xu Jie and Gao Gong were busy fighting for power and profit, and Yan Song's people were also busy with their tails and were not dismissed from office every day.

But now it's different.

Gao Gong felt that he had completely controlled the cabinet, and Xu Jie was no longer afraid, so he should act boldly. So he first attacked Yan Song's people. As long as he was willing to search for them, he would naturally find evidence of corruption and bribery. In just two days, Gao Gong dismissed these people one after another. Then he began to target Xu Jie's people, and he would dismiss the office if he had eight robberies, and if he had no evidence, he would be transferred. In less than five days, he controlled the entire Censorate in his hands. Then he appointed Wang Xijue as the imperial envoy of the Censorate.

Wang Xijue was a step forward and took charge of a yamen at a young age and became more energetic. Moreover, the young man was full of energy and could not stand those corrupt officials and officials who were scattered. After taking office, he gave Emperor Jiajing a memorial, which was to govern the discipline of the Ming officials.

What is the state of Emperor Jiajing at this time?

His condition is similar to Gao Gong.

But he saw Luo Xin killing corrupt officials and killing them. After killing these corrupt officials, the local area was not in chaos. Instead, under the governance of the new officials, he was in order, especially when he saw the scout of the corrupt officials, he solved some of the Ming Dynasty's finances.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing agreed to Wang Xijue's suggestion very happily. He was still waiting for Wang Xijue to rectify a group of corrupt officials, just like Luo Xin, and it would be best to confiscate another group of officials and collect more money for him.

Wang Xijue received the approval of Emperor Jiajing and the support of Gao Gong, so he gathered more than 100 imperial envoys in the Censorate to hold a oath-taking meeting.

At the oath-taking ceremony, more than a hundred imperial envoys screamed as if they were injected with chicken blood.

These imperial envoys have not been so happy for a long time. Since the great etiquette during the Jiajing Emperor's reign, the imperial envoy was broken by the Jiajing Emperor, and the upright imperial envoys almost disappeared. Instead, they became the guns for all forces to compete and the verbal attack on others.

but……

Now it’s different. Wang Xijue said that no matter which camp or who it is, their duty is to pick up all officials, embezzle and accept bribes, impeach, and villains form cliques, impeach, and all idiots, impeach, and all disorderly politics, impeachment, and all corrupt discipline, impeachment, and so on.

More than one hundred imperial envoys were excited, really... it was never so good. Finally, I could impeach them to the fullest. At this moment, the backbone that was broken by Emperor Jiajing seemed to be straight again, and the sense of sacred envoys that had been used as a gun and as a verbal, which had disappeared for a long time seemed to be back.

These envoys screamed at the officials like hungry wolves.

So, all the officials were in trouble!

Can you not be unlucky?

You are afraid of being serious about anything. Even if an official has no corruption, no gang, or no mediocrity, as long as you do things, you will have problems. A group of envoys who have been injected with chicken blood and stare at you with red eyes, will you still not be able to find any problems?

With Gao Gong's support and the joint efforts of the Censorate and the Ministry of Personnel, the storm of integrity swept across the entire Ming Dynasty. Countless officials were dismissed, many of them were big tigers.
