The prince failed to supervise the country effectively and was deprived of his power to supervise the country!
The ministers all looked moved and regretful as they watched the pale-faced Crown Prince leave sadly.
Prince Zhu Zhanhe directly blocked the disaster for them this time!
Although they obviously had nothing to do with this matter, they were directly reprimanded by the emperor because of their absence. They also took away the power of supervising the country and spent half a year behind closed doors. They were not allowed to step out of the East Palace without an order!
This punishment was extremely serious and clearly expressed the emperor's dissatisfaction with the prince.
Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and others couldn't help sighing, but still insisted on kneeling on the ground.
The ground is cold, but their hearts are even colder.
No one would have thought that Emperor Wude was so determined and had no regard for the friendship between the emperor and his subjects.
According to normal precedents, even if a court minister makes a big mistake, the emperor will not do anything to him.
After all, "you can't punish a doctor", so you still have to give him the face he deserves. At the worst, he can just resign on his own.
However, when it came to Emperor Wu De, these precedents were just like nonsense.
No matter who you are, the ministers or ministers of the court, they all kneel down at the gate of the palace.
The temperament of this Wude Emperor is still as bad as before, getting worse day by day!
Compared with the benevolent and kind-hearted Crown Prince Zhu Zhanhe, the two of them were as good as each other in heaven and earth!
But now that the matter was over, they had nothing to say and could only continue to kneel on the ground.
The reason is that their supervision is poor, so that these officials under their command jump out to commit suicide. Who can blame them?
Quan Jin is now extremely panicked.
He never thought that things would develop like this!
Hundreds of officials fell into the palace. This was not just once or twice, but a precedent that had happened in previous dynasties.
As long as all the officials are in disgrace, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give in and will not dare to break up with the officials and gentry.
After all, if the two sides really break up and refuse to let each other step down, then the Fangchaotang will really be in chaos!
At that time, Li Bangyan, the former Song Dynasty Prime Minister, was a popular official of the generation. When the Jin soldiers went south, he advocated ceding territory and suing for peace. The angry scholar official Fu Que cried bitterly and resolutely resisted. In the end, the court did not obey the wishes of the scholar officials and appointed Li Gang to resolutely resist. Carrying gold!
Why is it that in the Ming Dynasty and your Emperor Wude, the situation is completely different?
Kneel down, just kneel down, and you must cry out, otherwise it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor!
Are you being too bullying?
Brother, we are also important ministers of the imperial court after all, so we also need to show face, okay?
For a moment, Quan Jin was filled with resentment towards Emperor Wude, secretly lamenting that the late emperor did not know people well and allowed such a villain to sit on this dragon chair.
Just when he was indignant, the commander of the Jin Yiwei sent Nie Xing back. He glanced at the courtiers kneeling on the ground and walked directly into the Qianqing Palace.
As soon as he saw Zhu Gaoxu, Nie Xing immediately smiled on his face.
"Your Majesty, we have found out that most of these officials have accepted bribes from the gentry."
After that, Nie Xing took out a list.
It's not that Jin Yiwei didn't do anything, it's just that he couldn't find any clues.
Now that these officials have come forward on their own initiative, things will be much simpler.
As long as you pick out the leading group of people, go to his house to search, and then track down recent movements, you can easily find out the truth of the matter.
Zhu Gaoxu took the list and glanced at it. Most of them were department officials, which made him feel relieved.
If official corruption at the level of a minister was involved, Zhu Gaoxu would really be furious, and he might even be determined to clean up the court again.
"Eh? That's wrong!"
"Isn't the filial son Quan Jin dancing the most happily?"
"Why is his name not on this list? Is it possible that he has not been corrupted or bribed?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Xing's expression suddenly became strange.
"Ahem, if my prediction is correct, this Quan Jin should have been used as a knife."
"After all, he is a well-known filial son in the world, so this sign is very easy to use, but he is stupid and doesn't realize it!"
"Ha!" Zhu Gaoxu sneered, "Do you really think Quan Jin is stupid?"
"Throughout the ages, throughout all dynasties, the most indispensable thing is people who seek fame and reputation, criticize the emperor and sell their integrity!"
"This Quan Jin has been rising to great heights in the name of a filial son. Now he has come out to oppose the New Deal many times. He obviously wants to take advantage of this matter to go further. His wishful thinking is very clever. Well!"
Zhu Gaoxu never had a good impression of such idiots.
If Quan Jin were a talented official like Jian Yi or Xia Yuanji, even if he made a mistake, Zhu Gaoxu would still tolerate it and expose it after a few beatings.
But for a person like Quan Jin who relied on his reputation to become an official and had no talent himself, yet he still disobeyed the holy will again and again, then Zhu Gaoxu would definitely not be able to bear it.
There are so many filial sons in the world. If you have too much power, the one who has more power will not have more. If you have less, if you have less power, there will be more power!
If you destroy your sign of being a filial son, the worst thing you can do is choose a new filial son from the local countryside and put this sign up again!
This is where Quan Jin is so stupid and doesn’t realize it!
He thought that his name of benevolence and filial piety would give him the confidence to protect him, so he acted without any scruples!
But what he didn't know was that his name of benevolence and filial piety was given to him by the royal family for political needs, so it would be easy for the royal family to take it back!
"Go get someone!"
"Also add Quan Jin to the list!"
"I feel disgusted when I see this idiot. Check him out!"
Nie Xing nodded when he heard this and sighed in his heart.
What a pity for Quan Jin and his ilk.
In the future, it would be a little less fun if there were no such people in the court who criticize the emperor and show their integrity!
Nie Xing came to the ministers with the list in hand and began the death roll call.
All the officials whose names were called by him changed their expressions and instantly became as pale as paper.
"The above-mentioned people secretly accepted bribes to obstruct the implementation of the New Deal, in vain for the emperor's grace, and pursued their own selfish interests... On the emperor's order, they were sent to prison, tortured, and executed in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Xia Yuanji looked at the officials in disbelief, including many officials from the Ministry of Revenue.
Each of these officials looked horrified and subconsciously cried out that they were wronged. They even placed their hopes of survival on their own parents, asking for help and telling their grievances.
Seeing this situation, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but ask.
"Nie Shizun, is there a misunderstanding about this matter?"
"Misunderstanding? Xia Yuanji, see for yourself!"
Nie Xing sneered and threw the information collected by Jin Yiwei directly to him.
All the ministers came forward one after another and read through it carefully. After a while, their faces were all red and extremely angry.
It contains a detailed record of the bribes received by the officials involved. Even if it is a fake, it cannot be so clear and detailed!
In other words, these are all true!
Xia Yuanji glared at the officials involved in the case with a sad look on his face.
In order to plead for these people, he did not hesitate to take personal risks and offend Long Yan.
But these bastards actually accepted bribes from others, which is so hateful!
Among everyone, Quan Jin was the only one who continued to cry out for injustice, because he indeed did not accept any bribes!
However, Nie Xing just watched coldly as the Jin Yi guards dragged him away without any response.
"If you want me to die, I have to die!"
"If you can't even understand this, why are you still an official?"
