Domineering Daming

As Uncle Suning, Wei Zhongxian was wearing a python suit and a golden silk cicada hat. On the table in front of him was an imperial decree and a Shangfang sword. It can be said that it set off his dignity and power to the extreme!

Liao Changyong from the Ministry of Punishment, Wei Xuelian from the Governor's Council, Tang Sanyong from the Ministry of Officials, Wang Yuyang from the Six Doors, and a group of people were all expressionless and secretly despised in their hearts.

Everyone else was sitting not far away, except for the inner supervisor of the Rites Supervisor who played the role of "recorder", the rest were accompanying guests.

After all, Wei Zhongxian is an eunuch who has done countless evils. No matter how much the emperor favors him, he is still an "evil" person in their hearts, and they are ashamed to keep company with them.This time, if it wasn't for the seriousness of the matter, they couldn't help but want to disobey and replace it with someone else.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at the crowd indifferently, straightened his body, his eyes were calm and could not hide his pride, and said: "I think you all know the matter. Before that, Fu Shangshu was beaten in the yamen of the household department, and then the Shuntian Mansion was burned to death, hundreds of people were burned to death, and then They intercepted and killed important officials of the imperial court everywhere in the capital, and even gathered a crowd to attack the Royal Government Council, such a thing has never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!"

Wei Zhongxian's voice was not shrill, but it became especially piercing as he raised his voice: "The emperor was furious, and specifically pointed out that an 'emergency yamen' was set up to deal with this matter. This matter involved rioters, gentry, government and opposition officials, construction Nuxiezuo and so on, it can be said that several poisons have merged, and the situation is so serious that it has never been seen in ancient times!"

Wei Xuelian's expression was flat, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't even look at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian deliberately said something so serious because he wanted to seize power. He is the head of the Governor's Council and the Anti-Corruption Bureau. He was sent here mainly to investigate internal corruption.

Liao Changyong of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is considered a veteran of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. With Wu Chunfu's transfer to Dali Temple, he has the highest voice to be promoted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If he does well this time, it may come naturally, so he is extremely eager. Said: "What Eunuch Wei said is that we are also deeply shocked this time, and we should severely suppress it to show the majesty of our court!"

Tang Sanyong from the Ministry of Officials, this person is a bit interesting. He originally belonged to a hundred households of Jinyiwei, but he insisted on giving it to his younger brother. He studied hard by himself. Come on, Zhou Yingqiu once explained that unless it involves the officials, don't say too much, let Wei Zhongxian decide.

Tang Sanyong is a smart person, so he naturally understood the meaning of his "mentor", and he almost dozed off with his eyes closed.

Wang Yuyang of the Six Doors is an exception. The Six Doors originally specialized in investigating major and important cases, and their rank is higher than that of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. , appearing to be exceptionally transparent.

Wang Yuyang intends to "revitalize" the six doors, but she happens to meet Wei Zhongxian and Dongchang. In terms of investigation, she is confident that she will surpass Wei Zhongxian. But in terms of "ability", how can the hastily established six doors compare with the 200-year-old Dongchang? Compare!

Therefore, from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to take this opportunity to claim the name of the Six Doors, which had already been quietly investigated by someone secretly, imitating the others, with the same expressionless face.

Who is Wei Zhongxian, how can he not see through these people's thoughts, but it doesn't matter, he is afraid that things will not be big, not chaotic, bigger and more chaotic is what he wants!

"Fu Yingxing!" Wei Zhongxian said suddenly.

Fu Yingxing came in from the side door not far away, holding a big box, put it on the table, and said with a solemn face: "My lords, this is what Dongchang found recently, you can preview it first." One after another evidence is placed on the table.

Liao Changyong, Wei Xuelian and the others frowned and looked at Wei Zhongxian before extending their hands.

It doesn't matter if you stretch out your hand, but the content inside shocked everyone so that they couldn't tell.

It lists nearly 200 officials, large and small, in Beizhili, who are suspected of corruption, extortion, prostitution, murder, cover-up, etc., each of which is enough to get their jobs and go to prison!What's even more frightening is that there are nearly 500 gentry and portals involved!

If this is strictly investigated, I am afraid that most of the officials and gentry in Beizhili will be arrested and charged with crimes!

The four of them were speechless for a long while, and looked up at each other with horror on their faces.

Is this an investigation?

This is clearly to imprison most of the officials in Beizhili, and more than half of the gentry to ransack their homes and exterminate their families!

This is going against the world and offending the whole world!

Wei Zhongxian is a lunatic!

Everyone trembled in unison.

Wei Zhongxian's expression was flat, and he didn't care what they thought, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Wei Xuelian and said, "Master Wei, I heard that you recently wrote an article about eradicating corruption and cleaning up officials, and you plan to publish it in the newspaper? "

Wei Xuelian's expression was slightly tense, and his eyes showed vigilance.

He was in charge of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supervisory Council, and had discussed the issue of "government of officials" with the emperor face to face. Naturally, he wrote an article for the convenience of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. How did Wei Zhongxian know?What do you want to do?

Wei Zhongxian smiled even more, and said: "Although the miscellaneous family is not very literate, at least they have been in the court for many years. You might as well show it to the miscellaneous family. If it is suitable, the miscellaneous family will be sent to the palace. Please ask the supervisor of ceremonies to chisel it and publish it in the name of the supervisor of ceremonies. .”

Wei Xuelian was slightly shocked. If it was published in the name of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, it would naturally have greater influence than him, but in this way, he would have nothing to do.

His expression changed, he struggled, and in the end, Dayi prevailed, raised his hand and said, "I will personally deliver it to Eunuch later."

Wei Zhongxian nodded with a smile, turned to Liao Changyong, and said: "This time must involve family and property, and the Dongchang is short of manpower. It may be necessary to borrow some personnel from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs from Mr. Liao."

The word "copy house" kept echoing in Liao Changyong's mind, he leaned over violently, and said, "It's as it should be, I'll go back later and ask Lord Shangshu for someone."

Wei Zhongxian looked at Wang Yuyang calmly again, and said, "Miss Wang, although Dongchang has a Shangfang sword, some people still have to be scrupulous. When necessary, please ask the girl's six doors to take action."

When Wang Yuyang opened his eyes, he heard that there was a big case!

"No problem!" Wang Yuyang said excitedly.

Wei Zhongxian smiled, turned to Tang Sanyong, and said: "Master Tang, there are many officials involved this time. It is impossible to say that a large number of people will be dismissed from office. Please also ask Mr. Tang and the Ministry of Officials to make arrangements."

Tang Sanyong took a deep look at Wei Zhongxian, the simple trick made the three people in front bow their heads, and he had to accept his trick, which involved the appointment of hundreds of officials. Even more rejoicing!

However, he was very afraid of Wei Zhongxian. No wonder Master Shangshu, who has always been in the hands of Zhizhu, was so wary of this person. The person who can make such a big wave in the Tianqi era should not be underestimated!

His expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Eunuch is polite, it's your duty."

Wei Zhongxian controlled the four of them with a few words, and turned this "emergency yamen" into his hall of speech. Then he was impolite, and said in a cold voice: "This is a big event, and the world is terrified. They all ordered the miscellaneous family to close the matter within a time limit, and the miscellaneous family decided that when Master Wei's article is published tomorrow, they will be severely warned and asked to surrender themselves, and they will be given three days. Once this time limit is over, Dongchang and the yamen of your lords will immediately act. Severe punishment!"

This is an established procedure, and several people have no objection, raising their hands and saying: "Observe!"

A stern look flashed across Wei Zhongxian's eyes, with a cruel smile on his face.

Three days is enough for the cabinet and six ministries to settle those governors and governors, and send them away from Beijing. Once these people leave Beijing, the "political reform" is completely completed, and he can let go of his hands and feet!

Chapter 591 The tense is serious

Ministry of Accounts.

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu sat on the main seat, and below sat Zhang Ruitu, Jiang Dejing, Qian Longxi, He Hucheng, Du Wenhuan and other six people. They were the governors and governors of Huguang, Yunnan, and Guangxi.

Fu Changzong talked and laughed at the spring breeze, and said: "My lords all know that the emperor's grand strategy is to strengthen the country with troops, and strengthen the country with troops and the prosperity of the country and the people. Enthusiastic about fighting for power and profit, military and state affairs are often involved, and they are repeatedly unbearable..."

Qian Longxi, Zhang Ruitu and others all nodded secretly. They came here from that time, and they had a profound experience.

From Liaodong to the southwest, civil servants and military generals are the most responsible for the rapid decline of the court.

Fu Changzong stopped talking, and Zhou Yingqiu continued: "Your lords are well aware of the situation in the southwestern provinces. The imperial court has mobilized tens of millions of taels of silver, tens of millions of stones of grain, and an army of more than 40. So far, it has not been stable. The emperor is deeply concerned. Anxiety is also the most important thing! The southwest must be stable, except for the imperial court and the provinces in the southwest, the surrounding provinces cannot sit on the sidelines. Before, Lord Yang Sichang had a strategy of "opening the net from ten sides". The emperor thought it was too radical and did not agree. It seems that there is nothing wrong with making the necessary preparations. The three provinces that the six adults are going to are all waiting to be rebuilt and full of problems. I hope that you can work together with the court and the emperor to govern internally and externally. , can't delay for a moment..."

The six of them were all looking deep and contemplative. The three provinces they were going to were also uneasy places with complex ethnic groups and sparsely populated areas.

"It seems that the imperial court is determined to clean up these three provinces..."

Qian Longxi and the others looked at each other quietly, feeling heavy in their hearts.

These three provinces are too complicated, and the disaster situation is serious now. If there is any drastic action, the civil uprising is clearly expected. If there is a trouble, they will be the biggest responsibility.

But the old method of "do less, make less mistakes, and do better" is obviously not applicable in the Jingzheng Dynasty. If the emperor or the court thinks you are incompetent and dismisses you directly, the official reputation and reputation will be ruined!

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu naturally had a panoramic view of the expressions of the six people. They sang together and talked freely with these adults, talking about the difficulties in front of them and the bright future.

Firstly, it was to dispel their grievances, secondly, to encourage them, and thirdly, to put pressure on them quietly.
