Morning next day.
Emperor Wude was furious and once again scolded the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
Last night, all the Jin Yiwei were dispatched, and it was difficult not to attract the attention of all the officials.
But they didn't know exactly what happened. The only clue they had was that Jin Yiwei arrested many officials, as many as dozens of them!
This alone scared many officials to sleepless nights and kept them awake all night!
After all, that is Jin Yiwei!
At that time, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Jinyi Guards to supervise all officials and clean up the court!
Now that Jin Yiwei has made a comeback again, and has received strong support from Emperor Wude, God knows what Jin Yiwei will do next!
Because of a sudden and shocking change, all civil and military officials recalled the terrible past and felt the fear of being dominated by the Jin Yiwei again!
After staying up all night in fear, it was not until the morning of the morning that His Majesty the Emperor cursed all the officials again that they finally understood what had happened.
Shi Zhongcheng, these damned bitches, are so bold and deserve to die!
In order to force His Majesty the Emperor to compromise, they dared to instruct the shops in the capital to close their doors and go on strike, regardless of the life and death of the people in the capital!
What is this behavior?
You are plotting rebellion!
If there is chaos in the capital, where is the majesty of the family and the majesty of the country?
He really deserves to be killed, even ten thousand times is not an exaggeration!
No wonder His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he even dispatched the Imperial Guards. This matter was really too big.
To put it mildly, this was the counterattack of the gentry and the gentry, forcing His Majesty the Emperor to bow his head.
But speaking more seriously, this is a secret conspiracy among officials, with the intention of causing chaos in the capital and destabilizing the Ming Dynasty!
And His Majesty the Emperor's treatment of Shi Zhongcheng and others was clearly harsh and punished without mercy!
The mastermind, Shi Zhongcheng, belongs to the Yi tribe!
The so-called "three clans" are the father's clan, the mother's clan, and the wife's clan. The total number of them must be at least tens of thousands!
Just because Shi Zhongcheng was obsessed with his mind and deliberately went against His Majesty the Emperor, he ended up with such a tragic ending of death and annihilation, which really made all the officials sigh.
After all, Shi Zhongcheng was a veteran of three dynasties, and he once reached the high position of the Imperial Censor. Even though he returned to his hometown after serving as an official, there are still many old disciples in the court.
If Shi Zhongcheng had lived his old age honestly, how could he have caused such a huge disaster?
Well now, not only is he going to die, his nephew is going to die, his brother is going to die, his whole family and the three clans are going to die!
Emperor Wude's ruthless tactics once again shocked the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
It was only at this moment that they suddenly realized that the Wude Emperor sitting on the dragon throne was not a good person from the beginning, but an out-and-out butcher and executioner!
That is to say, after he entered the East Palace, he cultivated his moral character, stopped causing trouble, and did not show up in person, so that all civil and military officials almost forgot about the heinous murder he had committed!
Just when the King of Han went to the south of the Yangtze River in anger, as many as a hundred gentry and powerful people died as a result, and countless people had their homes confiscated and exiled!
When they thought of this, many courtiers' faces instantly turned pale.
They are also members of the Jin gentry, but they are not as radical as the Jin gentry involved in the case and have always chosen to wait and see.
Previously, they were more or less lucky, thinking that as long as the Jin gentry launched a counterattack, Emperor Wude would have to compromise in order to stabilize his rule, just like the precedents that had happened in previous dynasties.
But now it seems that not only were they wrong, but they were extremely wrong!
There is no good thing about this Emperor of Wude. He is simply a ruthless monarch who kills decisively!
No one can stop what he wants to do, not even the gentry!
Just because they understood this, many courtiers became even more frightened and regained their respect for Emperor Wude.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Manchao Wenwu who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
This person is a bitch, especially a scholar.
If you are too nice to him, instead of being grateful, he will be angry with you.
But if you are strong and soft at the same time and show off your muscles from time to time, they will immediately give in.
After all, in this big world, no one has muscles as strong as the Ming Emperor!
"This is the second time!"
"This is the first time for Baiguan Fugu!"
"This is the second time that we have encouraged shops to close and go on strike!"
"You all listen to me, I don't want it to happen a third time!"
His Majesty the Emperor's cold voice rang in the ears of all the courtiers, causing them to tremble subconsciously.
They all knew that His Majesty the Emperor was not joking, but a naked warning!
Everything can be done once or twice and never again!
If there is a third time, God knows what His Majesty the Emperor will do!
"Spreading a small family into an equal amount of land is a benevolent policy that benefits the country and the people. It is a major plan for our country, the Ming Dynasty!"
"In order to make up for the losses of you gentry and gentry, I specially allocated the unowned land in Lingbei to you, allowing you to go to Lingbei to open up wasteland and cultivate, and let you go to Lingbei to enclose the land for profit!"
"But in everything, there are gains and losses. You have occupied the fields in Lingbei, and you have eaten so much from it that your mouth is full of oil, so you have to spit something out, right?"
"You don't want to pay anything, you just want to get benefits for nothing and occupy the fields and estates for nothing. How can there be such a good thing in this world?"
Zhu Gaoxu stopped pretending and simply used this matter to directly show off his cards with these Jin gentry.
"The fields in Lingbei are so vast, you may not be able to develop them all in your lifetime!"
"Since I gave Lingbei to you, naturally I won't break my promise and slap myself in the face!"
"But you can only take what I give you. If you dare to stretch out your paws for what I don't give you, I will send your whole family to reunite!"
"Remember this, this is the last time. I don't want it to happen a third time. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind following the example of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gao, who carried out a bloody purge and changed the court!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were frightened and lowered their heads.
The Great Purge during the Hongwu Period had not been long ago, and they had all vaguely heard about it.
During that dark time, officials went to court as if they were going to the execution ground, and they even had to say goodbye to their wives and children every time they left home. The ferocious power of Emperor Taizu Gao was evident.
If they had a choice, they would naturally not want to see Wude Chaotang become like that. It would be even more uncomfortable than killing them!
"All court officials in Beijing will be fined for one year as punishment!"
Putting down these words lightly, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and left.
Although a one-year fine was not painful, it expressed the emperor's attitude.
I am very dissatisfied with you. I am very dissatisfied with you. If you don’t obey me, I will go crazy!
Civil and military officials are not fools. They can naturally understand what His Majesty the Emperor means.
As soon as the Emperor left, Gu Zuo, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other court officials gathered together, all of them looking very ugly.
"Everyone, you must be treated strictly!"
"Strictly control your subordinates and never let something like this happen again!"
"Otherwise you and I will not only lose our lives, but also become criminals of the Ming Dynasty!"
"It's impossible to say that he's good... he will be infamy for eternity and be reviled by eternity!"
