Ever since Yinyu reminded herself that Yongzheng had made a big move recently, Qingyu began to ask Jade to signal the eyeliners in her hands, especially the eyeliners of Jia Shi Wang Xue Si, to let them pay more attention so that she can grasp the latest information .But she waited for a long time and didn't see any action from Yongzheng. At first, she thought that Yongzheng was going to turn over the years and settle the account.

But what she didn't expect was that just after entering December, Yongzheng started to do it, and he acted vigorously, leaving no time for preparation.And the first unlucky one was not any of the four kings and eight princes, but the Zhen family far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhen Yingbin and Zhen Yingfei who were in Beijing were imprisoned in the sky prison by Yongzheng in the early court for more than a dozen crimes including "forming a party for personal gain, embezzlement and accepting bribes".The mansion was also surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without purpose, otherwise they would be killed on the spot.

With the outbreak of Zhen Yingbin and Zhen Yingfei in Yongzheng, it indicates that the innocence of the capital has really begun to change.

On the second day that Zhen Yingbin and Zhen Yingfei were imprisoned, Yongzheng formally issued an order to announce in court that the Zhen family had committed more than 20 crimes, and the case was handed over to Dali Temple for trial.On the third day after the case of the Zhen family was handed over to Dali Temple, Qin Han, the current Shaoqing of Dali Temple, presented the evidence of the Zhen family's crimes to Yongzheng, and the evidence was complete.

Everyone in the court knew that Qin Han, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was single-handedly promoted by Emperor Yongzheng, and he could be said to be his confidant.It took only three days to take over the case of the Zhen family, but he produced such a pile of evidence, and the evidence was complete, so it can be seen that it was prepared long ago, that is to say, the rumors that the emperor wanted to rectify the government came out some time ago it is true.And just looking at Qin Han's actions, one knows that the emperor must have already thought about rectifying the government, and has already begun to prepare.

With the piles of evidence Qin Han produced.Naturally, the trial of the Zhen family case came to an end soon.

There is no doubt that the Zhen family was ransacked.

Regardless of their age, the female family members of the Zhen family were all confiscated into Lejiaofang, confiscated as criminals, and treated as criminal slaves. Even when the world amnesties, they will not be released.As for the males of the Zhen family who were under ten years old, they were sent to Ninggu Pagoda as slaves. As for those who were over ten years old, they were all beheaded together with the second and third masters of the Zhen family, Zhen Yingbin and Zhen Yingfei.As for the eldest son of the Zhen family, although he is the eldest son, he is a foolish person because of his greedy and lustful nature. , Living a crime hard to forgive.Together with the other males from the Zhen family who were under ten years old, they were assigned to Ninggu Pagoda and put on armor as slaves.

The Zhen family, which had been entrenched in Jinling for decades so far, declared their downfall in just a few days.

Afterwards, as if it was the beginning, after the Zhen family, followed by the four kings of the four kings and eight princes, except for the smarter king Shui Rong of Beijing County, he was only a rich idle king from the beginning to the end and did not participate in anything. , so it can be preserved.The other three kings, Nan'an County King, Xining County King, and Dongping County, although their endings were not as good as those of the Zhen family, they were not any better?They were stripped of their titles and punished with a large amount of money. The amount was so large that they almost wiped out their entire family. Although their lives were saved, the family was not left behind.And the worst of them was the king of Xining County who was involved in Jiulong to seize the throne during the Kangxi period. Not only was he stripped of his title, the whole family was demoted to common people, and even his family property was confiscated. The whole family was kicked out of the capital, forever back to Beijing.Subsequent generations were also not allowed to enter the imperial examination as officials within the five generations.It is the worst end among the three kings.

After such an action, everyone understood.The emperor is about to start a big political rectification.So for a while, almost everyone in the capital was in danger, and there was no festive atmosphere during the New Year's Eve. Everyone kept their tails tight and restrained their own family's prodigal sons.

There are a few shrewd old people in the court, seeing this, dodge, dodge, dodge, and even those who have reached their age will simply retire and return home.

Yongzheng was very satisfied when he saw that his actions not only rectified the government affairs according to his own ideas, but also had the intention of beating them.Seeing that those old guys who like to rely on their elders to sell their elders are so knowledgeable, they didn't embarrass them too much, so they kept a few symbolic sentences, rewarded them with some things, and allowed them to return to their hometowns.

Therefore, there have been many high-ranking vacancies in the court.This actually made many people start to move around.It's just that due to recent events, now is an extraordinary period, so everyone can only think about it in their hearts or whisper to their colleagues, and do some insignificant small actions in private, not daring to take any actual actions.

After cleaning up the Zhen family and the queens of the three Yuanzhi counties in the southeast and west, all the officials were a little trembling, because they didn't know which family Yongzheng would deal with next?But I don't know if it was because of the approaching of the New Year, but until the eve of the Chinese New Year, Yongzheng did not make any next move, so there was a short-term calm in the court.This made many people quietly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

It was finally a safe year.

It's just that they haven't waited for them to breathe a sigh of relief, on the day of Shangyuan Festival.Yongzheng made a decree, and his close confidant eunuch Su Peisheng read the decree from house to house.Start to clean up the four princes and eight males.Except Zhen Guogong and Li Guogong, because the current patriarch is shrewd, they began to arrange for the family to retreat as early as Yongzheng ascended the throne.The rest, such as Duke Qi, Duke Zhi, Duke Xiu, and Duke Shan, are all supporters of the former prince.So the fate of these four families is not much better.

It was directly handled by Dali Temple, and the Imperial Forest Army took care of it by themselves and ransacked the house.Although its fate is not as miserable as that of the Zhen family, it is not good.

All male members of the family, who have reached the age of 16, were exiled for three thousand miles to the northwest, and were not allowed to return to Beijing during their lifetime.Those who were under sixteen, although they were released without charge, were also deprived of their qualifications to serve as officials in the court for life and were sent back to their original places.As for Yiying's female relatives, although they spent several days in prison, they were all released without charge in the end.Much happier than those female relatives of the Zhen family.However, there are exceptions. Yang Shi, the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhiguo, was hanged for champering the lawsuit and giving loan sharks privately, and her dowry was also filled into the state treasury.

As soon as this incident happened, women surnamed Yang in Beijing immediately became unsalable goods, and there were even two incidents where the sisters and younger sisters of the Yang family were engaged, but their engagements were withdrawn because of this incident.Immediately, Yang's family was condemned by the clan, and some people even suggested that "Yang's parents have no way to teach their daughters, which will bring trouble to the family and ruin the reputation of the girls in the clan." She should be expelled from the clan and let her die .Although I don't know why it was not implemented in the end, Yang's parents and brothers couldn't hold their heads up in Beijing because of this matter. In the end, Yang's father applied for a transfer, and within half a month, he took the whole family out of Beijing. I haven't come back for more than ten years.

Two of the Hachikos cleverly avoided the past, and the four were cleaned up neatly.As for the most powerful descendants of Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong, although they are still safe for the time being, everyone knows that they have a knife on their heads at this time, and it is the kind that can fall at any time?

After Qi Guogong was cleaned up at the very beginning, the Jia family began to run around to manage the relationship between the top and bottom, but the effect was not great.

Naturally, as the granddaughters of the Jia family, Qingyu and Lin Ruhai's place was the first stop they searched for.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came from Qingyu's side, while Jia She and Jia Zheng went to Lin Ruhai's side.

Mother Jia had already fallen ill years ago, and her condition became worse as time passed. Qingyu invited the imperial physician to diagnose Mother Jia.But the imperial physician said that Jiamu is getting old and her condition is quite serious this time, the chance of her surviving is very small, so she should prepare early.Now that the year has passed, Jia's mother's illness is exactly as the imperial physician said.The condition is getting worse and worse day by day, and now people are a little confused, and sometimes they can't even tell the difference.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came over, although they didn't have any hope in their hearts, but when they really heard Qingyu's resolute rejection, they still couldn't help being extremely disappointed.It's just that no matter how softly the two of them spoke, Qingyu refused to let go, and finally had to go back disappointed.

When the two of them returned to the mansion, they told the matter again.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also returned empty-handed.

Whether it was Lin Ruhai or Qingyu, the Jia family naturally complained for a while, but they couldn't do anything other than complain.Mrs. Wang even opened her mouth to say that she was not from her own family after all with a foreign word, and she didn't have them in her heart.This time, if the mansion wants to get through this time safely, they will naturally point to Yuan Chun in the palace. Although Yuan Chun's status is not high, but after all, there is a princess who is a concubine with heirs.They should still have the ability to intercede for their own family, not to mention that they didn't make any big mistakes?The matter of lending usury by herself, she had already smoothed over the matter of the emperor cleaning up the Zhen family years ago. For this reason, she also let her brother, the prince, spare her hands, so that no one would notice it.Although I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit it.In the Jia family, the eldest master Jia She and the second master Jia Zheng, it can be said that they are all equal, and no one is better than the other.

Therefore, when it comes to crimes, the Jia family should be less involved than the other families.

It's just that Mrs. Wang thought well, but she didn't expect that when Yongzheng cleaned up, their family had more crimes than anyone else.
