Seventy-five officials were sacked!
Only eleven people were sent to prison, and they were all carrying human lives on their bodies.
The remaining sixty-four people were all dismissed from office and exiled to Nanyang!
And among them, there are more than 40 people who have been exiled by their entire clan!
The originally huge court now felt a little more empty.
Of course, these seventy-five people are not all courtiers. Most of them are officials in Beijing, and a few are local officials.
However, no matter what, they are all famous officials of the imperial court!
Moreover, the sharp-eyed old Xia Tou noticed that the more than forty people who were exiled by their entire clan were all from scholarly families!
This whole family's exile means that all these official families have to move to the old port of Nanyang!
The King of Han's move was not only destructive, but also vicious!
First of all, these official families were scattered all over the country, forcing them to migrate to Southeast Asia, which temporarily postponed the bad situation of local land annexation and had the effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys.
Secondly, Gu Zuo of the Metropolitan Procuratorate took action at the first court meeting of the new year to severely punish corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty. This could also serve as a deterrent to all officials, so that they would not dare to be as unscrupulous as before!
Moreover, most of these official families are from scholarly families, and the children of the family are not stupid people in Guizhou. As long as they are trained well, they will soon be able to take up government affairs in Old Port. This is tantamount to giving Yang Shiqi a large number of talents!
King of Han, King of Han, you really have good intentions!
Xia Yuanji sighed secretly. He had already vaguely guessed how the King of Han would politically annex the gentry in the fields!
Don't you like mergers?
Okay, then I will send you out and exile you to those barbarian lands to annex them!
No matter how much you can annex, not only will the court not blame you, but it will even give you an award!
Only the Prince of Han could do this kind of underhanded tactics!
Compared to the sober-minded Xia Yuanji, other courtiers were already frightened and trembling. Even Yang Rong and other court giants did not dare to say a word.
God knows if the King of Han will suddenly act stupid and ask Gu Zuo to deal with them directly!
Zhu Gaoxu felt extremely funny when he saw their appearance.
"Okay, the anti-corruption work will stop here for today."
"I am not a person who can't tolerate sand in my eyes, but these moths just now are really too greedy. If they are not dealt with, they will not be able to quell the public's anger!"
"You should take this as a warning. The new anti-corruption law has been implemented. The Jin Yiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be watching you. Don't take any chances."
Hearing this, the ministers suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly.
"One more thing. Last time I mentioned that the Japanese country took the initiative to ask me, the Ming Dynasty, to send envoys to mediate the conflict between their domestic shogunate and the emperor."
"It was a coincidence. I just received a secret report that there was a rebellion in Nanshan of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The eldest brother of King Wang Yingzu, Daboqi, was very dissatisfied when he saw his younger brother becoming the king and enjoying the glory and wealth, so he launched a rebellion. He killed Wang Yingzu and now he has established himself as king."
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
How dare he do that?
The Ryukyu Kingdom was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and tribute was always paid!
In the first month of the fifth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao sent an emissary, Yang Zai, to issue an edict to the Three Kingdoms of Ryukyu. This was the first time the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to Ryukyu.
In December of the same year, Chadu, the king of Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom, sent his younger brother Taiqi and others to accompany Yang Zai to the court and contribute gifts.
In the sixth year of Hongwu, the king of Shanbei, Pannizhi, and the king of Nanshan, Chengchadu, also paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty one after another.
At this point, the three Ryukyu Kingdoms Beishan, Zhongshan and Nanshan began to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, using the title of Daming, and officially became vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, Ming Dynasty is the suzerain of the Three Ryukyu Kingdoms and has the right to appoint the kings of the Three Ryukyu Kingdoms!
And Wang Yingzu, the king of Nanshan, was the king of Nanshan who was personally canonized by the emperor today!
Na Daboqi dared to rebel and kill Wang Yingzu. This was a provocation to the majesty of the Great Tomorrow and trampled on the majesty of the Son of Tomorrow!
For a time, there were a lot of civil and military discussions throughout the dynasty, and everyone expressed condemnation and criticism, but that was all.
Zhu Gaoxu felt a little tired of hearing this, hoping that someone would speak up at this time.
After all, this Ryukyu Kingdom was the Ryukyu Islands that would later be controlled by Japan. It was located between Wanwan Island and Japan's Kyushu Island, winding for nearly a thousand kilometers.
Because of its special geographical location, it is known as a transit point for trade between Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia. With developed trade, it is known as the "Jinjiang of all nations".
This unique strategic location must naturally be controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and it can be used as a forward base for the Ming Navy to conquer the Japanese country.
Well, Wanwan Island is now called "Chicken Cage Mountain", and this time we will let the Navy take it down.
Opening up territory and expanding territory are not shabby!
At this time, Zhu Yong, the leader of the military attachés, suddenly came out and shouted loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Han, the Three Kingdoms of Ryukyu are vassal states of our Ming Dynasty, and the King of Nanshan Wang Yingzu was personally canonized by our Emperor Ming Dynasty. The Lord of Nanshan!"
"That Daboqi acted rebelliously, plotted to harm the country's leader, and humiliated our Ming Dynasty. He deserves to be punished for his crime. Please immediately send troops to conquer Daboqi and capture him back to the Ming Dynasty for punishment!"
good!
As expected of a general’s disciple!
Zhu Gaoxu listened to the beeping of the civil servants for a long time, and finally heard what he wanted to hear.
Duke Cheng Zhu Yong is the son of the famous general Zhu Neng. This boy is only twenty-one years old and is still in the learning stage.
However, according to historical records, he would soon follow Zhu Laosi in the Northern Expedition and made considerable military exploits. After Renxuan came to power, he independently led the army to defeat Mongolia many times, and he was regarded as a general.
However, the only problem with this boy is that he has the appearance of a brave general, but in fact he is not brave enough. He still pays homage to the scholar-bureaucrats and engages in the red tape of the scholar-bureaucrats.
Well, there is less blood in the bones. After being mixed with glory and wealth, the quality has changed.
However, his final ending was as regrettable as that of the British Duke Zhang Fu. He followed the Ming Dynasty God of War to conquer Oara in the north, and died in an ambush in the Yao'er Ridge at the age of fifty-nine.
When he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes suddenly softened when he looked at him.
Duke Yingying and Duke Chengguo, these two honorable ministers, have been loyal and loyal for generations!
"Weizhen (Zhu Yong's words) have won my heart. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers stopped talking and became silent for a moment.
They are all a little confused at the moment, condemning is condemning, criticizing is criticizing, but if you disagree with others, you will hit them. What does this sound like?
Yang Rong coughed twice and said bravely: "Your Highness the King of Han, our Ming Dynasty has no precedent of sending troops to conquer vassal countries..."
"No? Then how did Annan become Jiaozhi? Wasn't it because of the chaos in his country and the imperial court went to help quell the rebellion, and the Chen Dynasty's royal family died in the end, so we have an extra province of Jiaozhi in the Ming Dynasty! "
"It's the same in Ryukyu. When the rebels in the country rebel, I, the Ming Dynasty, go to help him suppress the rebellion. Isn't this normal? This is the responsibility and obligation of the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain country, and it is incomparable with your Confucianism... …”
Ministers: "???"
Your mother!
You really know how to brag!
The first step was to talk about Annan, and the second step was to mention Ryukyu!
Do you think we are all fools and can't see what your intentions are?
Jin Zhong suddenly frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
"Your Highness the King of Han, this is a mediation, and you don't dare to start a war at will!"
"Back then, the traitors of the Hu family in Annan first deceived and deceived me many times, and then attacked our great angel, so the emperor was furious and decided to send troops to Annan to help the Chen Dynasty in Annan recover..."
"Hey, old Jintou, are you still alive?" Zhu Gaoxu gave a bad smile and asked.
Jin Zhong: “???”
Your uncle!
What do you mean?
Didn’t you answer when I spoke to you before?
Co-author, you really wish that I would die early and be born early, right?
"Okay, this matter is settled. Anyway, the navy has to go to Japan and let them solve the Ryukyu matter!"
"I promise you that I will never engage in war rashly. When the Navy goes to Ryukyu, it will focus on mediation..."
"Anyway, it's still early to go to the Western Ocean. Let me, the Ming Dynasty Navy, go to the East and show off my Ming Dynasty's prestige!"
Hearing this, Zheng He and the trio were immediately confused.
Why don't you make a fucking promise in front of all the ministers that Ryukyu will be conquered and Japan will be conquered...
Do you plan to let the three of us take the blame when the time comes?
