Domineering Daming

Because they also know a lot of these people, covering the cabinet, six ministries and nine temples, the governor's office, etc., and some people they are optimistic about and have great ability to do things!

At this time, they naturally knew that these were not ordinary people, and most of them were involved in party struggles.

Cao Huachun read for a while, paused, looked up at the people below, and when everyone thought it was over, Cao Huachun read again.

This time, King Zongzheng of the Clan Mansion's scalp was numb, because he heard some familiar names, all of whom were influential princes in the clan, and some uncles, in Cao Huachun's mouth, they were just a long list of names. There was thunder in their ears.

In the hall, except for Cao Huachun's voice, there was no sound at all.

Chapter 851

"Kin this!"

Cao Huachun's last voice echoed in the hall, cold and heartless, and lasted for a long time.

The person kneeling on the ground didn't know whether it was because of kneeling for too long or because of fear.A group of people forgot to shout the order, and forgot to get up, just knelt on the ground and trembled.

Cao Huachun’s name is conservatively estimated to be 300. The people present know that there are more than [-] scholars who have no fame, those who have fame but no official position, those who have no official position in the opposition, and those who have official positions in the court. There are even some famous teachers and scholars. There are so many things to cover everything!

Yang Lian and Wang Ji are both from Donglin. In the list of more than 700 people, most of them are from Donglin and those who are close to each other. These account for the vast majority.

Among them are a few princes, six or seven dukes, and marquises who have been tossing and tossing in the past, but this time they are the most powerful group of people who are jumping around on the matter of "nobility".

In addition to these, there are also some "stubborn" forces in the ruling and opposition parties. They are extremely resistant to the "New Deal", but the nails at both ends of the snake mouse are hard to remove in the court.

There are even some "innocent" people, including the major schools of Ming Dynasty academic circles, masters, apprentices, businessmen, big farmers, craftsmen, etc., and even some brothels, theater troupes, etc., of course, there is also the Shangguan family, Covering all walks of life, all kinds, almost no one left behind.

Cao Huachun took a step back after reading the imperial decree and stood beside Zhu Xu.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu looked at the group of people indifferently, from Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, to Zhou Yingqiu and Fu Changzong, then to Shen Xun, Wang Qiaonian, and finally Yang Lian and Wang Ji.

"What do you want to say, or what name do you want to add?" Zhu Xu's indifferent voice echoed in the hall.

When Bi Ziyan and the others finally came to their senses, they all frowned and their expressions changed.

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly, Wang Ji straightened up, coughing violently, and said: "Qi Zou the emperor, I have something to say."

"Say." Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his words were as cold as iron.

Wang Ji's face was a little pale, the cold sweat on his head had been dried by the wind, his whole body was trembling, he looked at Zhu Xu from a distance, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what crimes I and hundreds of people have committed, why should they be sent to prison?" That bitter cold place overseas?"

Zhu Xu's face was indifferent, and he wished that there was a treacherous minister by his side even more. He glanced at the ministers and said, "Where did you hear the word 'distribution'?"

The corners of Wang Ji's mouth turned white, and his heart trembled.

He didn't want to engage in such meaningless verbal disputes with the emperor. He couldn't be dispatched to the South China Sea, let alone bring his whole family and dozens of former students and officials with him.

Yang Lian thinks about the past over and over again these years, especially the things since Zhu Xu's ascension to the throne, and he thinks he has a thorough understanding.He knew very well in his heart that since the young emperor in front of him could make such a long list, it must not be a whim. Just like his past behavior, it was premeditated and violent, and he would never give anyone a chance to resist!

This game, they will lose!

With an ugly expression all over Yang Lian's face, he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say." He decided to take out the enthusiasm before that and change it to a buffer.

Zhu Xu looked at him and said indifferently: "Since ancient times, ministers have remonstrated with the emperor. Since I ascended the throne, the so-called admonishing ministers have never appeared. If you want to hit the post, you should scold me and go win the world." Fame, I will not stop it, if anyone dies in the hall, I will accompany him to issue an edict of guilt, let his name go down in history, forever, come on!"

Bi Ziyan and others' hearts jumped, the emperor is forcing Yang Lian, Bi Ziyan and others to death!

The corners of Yang Lian's mouth twitched, and his face became even more ugly. After the emperor's words came to this point, there was no room for change!

Naturally, he would not die here. If he wanted to die, he would have died a few years ago. What's more, the emperor's words are left here. No matter what the reason is, his death will not do any good, and it will only anger the emperor even more!

"What about you, what else do you want to say?" Zhu Xu looked away from Yang Lian and Wang Ji, and landed on Bi Ziyan and the others.

Bi Ziyan was not so nervous anymore. Although some of the targets were in the imperial court this time, they were not very important. As long as they were handled carefully, at most there would be some disturbances among scholars, but they were all within the controllable range.

He raised his hand solemnly, and said: "Return to the emperor, please let the cabinet handle this assignment." In Bi Ziyan's view, this is also a good opportunity to establish the prestige of the cabinet.

Zhu Xu snorted coldly, and said: "The cabinet has a major and unshirkable responsibility for this matter. Everyone will be fined for half a year, cancel all subsidies, and then write a self-criticism and publish it in the court newspaper. If the writing is not profound, what? It's time to write something profound, when will I return to the cabinet!"

Bi Ziyan's eyes changed slightly, the corners of his face were a little stiff and he raised his hands, saying: "Observe the order."

In this matter, the cabinet is indeed responsible, but if it writes a "review letter", it will undoubtedly damage the prestige of the cabinet, his "chief assistant".

Zhu Xu stood on the high steps with his hands behind his back, and said with stern eyes: "This matter has sounded the alarm for me, the cabinet, and the world! We must strictly enforce the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the rules and regulations of the imperial court, and the laws and regulations of the country. , no one can be an exception! From now on, the Governor's Council must strictly enforce the law, and the violations must be investigated, and there will be no tolerance. If similar incidents occur again, I will dismiss the entire cabinet!"

"The minister waits to obey the order." A group of people knelt down again, worried in their hearts.

The emperor didn't seem to have killed anyone on a large scale this time, but such an allotment was enough to make everyone terrified!

Wang Ji and Yang Lian's expressions kept changing, they wanted to find a way to save themselves and Dong Lin, but in front of the emperor's extremely tough attitude, they seemed to be unable to do anything!

An emperor who has no fear of people's words, no fear of history books, and holds great power, who can stop him?

Zhu Xu swept across the group of people indifferently, took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "This matter has to be settled before the end of the month, if it is delayed, the six ministries of the cabinet will be guilty of the same crime!"

After speaking, he strode away.Tonight is just a result, but also a beginning!

"I will send you off to the emperor!" Bi Ziyan and the others knelt together and shouted in a deep voice.

After a while, Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong got up one after another, and the two looked at each other with relaxed expressions.Compared to the emperor's previous drastic measures, this was already quite mild.

Zhou Yingqiu, Fu Changzong and the others were also quite relaxed. After getting up, they stood on both sides of Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong.

On the other hand, Wang Qiaonian, a newcomer to the cabinet, hadn't reacted yet. Looking at the relieved expressions of the group of people, he was a little baffled and anxious like a dream.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others formed a half circle, looking at Yang Lian and Wang Ji who were still kneeling on the ground with pale and ugly faces.

The current hostile relationship is very clear. It is the confrontation between the imperial court and a wave of ambitious careerists. This time, the ministers of the imperial court are unusually united and stand firmly on Zhu Xu's side.

The faces of these two people are different, they have no strength to fight, but it is meaningless to want to die, and it will not have any effect, but it will give them a stigma forever!

Bi Ziyan didn't bother to pay attention to these two people, he had nearly a thousand lists to deal with, turned his head to look at Zhang Wenda, and said in a deep voice: "Let me watch these two people, if they have three good things and two bad things, you will be punished with the same crime! "

Zhang Wenda was deeply moved. He thought that the Donglin Party would dissipate quietly, but he didn't expect that such an incident would happen again. It's really a sin that God committed. He can't live without it. He has done everything he can do. Now, with the utmost benevolence and righteousness, he won't pay any attention to any troubles.

Hearing Bi Ziyan's words, he raised his hand and said, "I obey the order, the two of them will be detained in the Ministry of Punishment, and nothing will happen."

Bi Ziyan nodded, looked at the others, and said, "Others, follow me."

Everyone had nothing to say. Although the handling of this matter was not as drastic as the emperor's in the past, it was still a big matter, and it naturally required the six departments of the cabinet to study it carefully.

Zhu Xu returned to Nuange, took off his clothes and said: "Mingtian, Jinwei prepares a boat, takes the waterway, and sends it away as soon as possible. By the way, I will tell Dali Temple that the death penalty should be used with caution in the future. Unless the crime is extremely heinous, or exile, now There are places where people are missing.”

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded.

Zhu Xu took off his thick cotton coat and said, "Tomorrow, an order will be delivered to Lu Xiangsheng to be transferred to the yamen of the patrol battalion. The Ministry of War will no longer be in charge of the patrol battalion."
