"These officials are really fair and honest and act in accordance with the law!" Zhu Youjian frowned and couldn't help snorting.
No one who can become an official is a fool.
Don't they know that Wang Tiezhu is Wang Chengen's nephew?
Or do they not know that Wang Chengen is the person they trust most?
There were so many powerless people in the Ming Dynasty. How could it be their turn to arrest Wang Chengen's nephew?
Since you are so fair and honest, why don't you arrest the relatives of those princes and nobles?
Or are those princes and nobles also becoming sensible? Do you know that the overall situation is the most important thing?
"Get up. You will go down and get a stick later. Now go and call the secret guard commander over." Zhu Youjian said with a straight face.
Merits will be rewarded, deeds will be punished!
Although Wang Chengen is his confidant, he still needs to be beaten when he makes mistakes.
....
Three days later, the secret guard's intelligence results came out. As expected, at least half of the relatives of the eunuchs in the palace were forcibly arranged to join the immigration procession by the local government under various pretexts.
As for the princes, nobles, civil and military officials, none of their family members were implicated.
Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering or exiting the palace.
Even if the father-in-law or uncle wants to see the queen, he must have Zhu Youjian's order.
And the whole process is supervised by secret guards.
"What a great move to bring down the fire, you civil servants are so evil-minded!"
Seeing such information, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
These are half of the eunuchs. If they are all controlled by outside officials, even if they are in the palace and have hundreds of forbidden troops with them, they cannot guarantee their own safety.
Although sealing off the palace cuts off the connection between inside and outside the palace, it is by no means a foolproof strategy.
Those civil servants are not fools. They are thinking about how to pass the news in.
"You forced me to do this. I just want to live well and be an emperor so that Ming Dynasty will no longer be bullied by foreigners, but you won't let me live well.
Since you want to attack me, don't blame me for being rude.
What about civil unrest? I don't believe that with millions of troops in hand and so many slaves that I have worked so hard to serve, the country can still be in trouble. "
"Instruct all localities, county magistrates, prefects and other officials to hand over the work at hand to their deputies and start preparing to go to Beijing to participate in the sacrifice.
This New Year, I will personally lead all officials to worship the heroes of the Ming Dynasty at the Ming Dynasty Martyrs’ Shrine. If they fail to arrive on time, they will all be dismissed and will not be allowed to hold office again for life. "
It is now March of the 6th year of Chongzhen, and there are still ten months until the New Year. Considering the current traffic situation, ten months is enough for those officials to leave.
At that time, with the help of this high priest, all the local officials will gather in the capital, and then the army will take over and publicize the shame of Liaodong.
It can definitely minimize the subsequent turmoil in the Ming Dynasty.
"Since you want my life, I will destroy you first."
Zhu Youjian roared in his heart.
Strike first and be defeated later.
Too many of the Ming Emperor's deaths were unclear. In order to avoid his own unexplained death, he could only take preemptive measures and concentrate all his power.
"Your Majesty, is this too hasty?"
"No, over the years, the secret guards and the Jin Yiwei have mastered a lot of evidence of corrupt officials. With the help of this sacrifice, they have eliminated the cancer in the court in one fell swoop. Otherwise, I am really afraid of capsizing in the gutter."
At first, considering the corruption of officials in the Ming Dynasty, nine out of ten officials were corrupt, and the extremely complex network of relationships, Zhu Youjian only planned to slowly eliminate the cancer in the officialdom.
But now it seems that I was wrong.
This cancer is so big that slowly cleaning it up will have no effect at all.
What's even more hateful is that this cancer is still thinking about killing himself.
When others are ready to kill themselves, how can I reason with them?
If you don't take advantage of your absolute advantage to kill the opponent, why don't you wait for others to slowly penetrate?
After the other party has finished infiltrating, he might one day be like the emperor brother and "accidentally fall into the water".
I have no descendants now. Who will be the emperor by then will not be decided by the civil servants?
With this lesson learned in front of them, those civil servants will definitely choose someone who is easy to control to be the emperor. Needless to say, the consequences will be the end of the Ming Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, those officials are mean. If they don't do good things, they have to think of themselves as beasts.
They knew clearly that the dynasty existed and they were the officials, but they still tried to drain the blood of the Ming Dynasty. Then, all the people were in ruins, and the Ming Dynasty fell into ruin again.
Those dog officials would rather be a beast, would rather have their wives and daughters bullied and their ancestors' graves dug up than give up their interests...
Put down the butcher's knife on the dog official, and the countdown to the kingdom's demise begins!
Benefits win over people's hearts.
There is no shortage of smart people in this world, there is no shortage of people who can let go, and there is no shortage of principled people.
However, there are indeed many people who are smart, decisive, and principled, but it is indeed difficult for them to get into the upper echelons of the country.
It is difficult to influence the direction of the country.
Many officials are very smart, but they have no principles and do not know how to let go at the right time.
This resulted in them knowing clearly that they were destroying the foundation of the country by doing so.
But for the sake of money, he still risked the possibility of becoming a slave to the subjugation of the country and continued to destroy the foundation of the country.
In their view, if they cut the country with a knife, how could the country possibly perish?
And even if it perishes, doesn’t future dynasties still need people to govern them?
As long as you are shameless enough, you can still be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime.
.....
A dog official harms the country!
For the safety of life and property of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty,
We can only ask those dog officials to enjoy the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youjian sneered.
. .
"Excuse me, Your Majesty has ordered that this New Year, all county magistrates, prefects and other officials across the country will worship the heroes and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty together at the Ming Dynasty Martyrs' Shrine."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty has ordered that this New Year, all county magistrates, prefects and other officials across the country will worship the heroes and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty together at the Ming Dynasty Martyrs' Shrine."
A small, skinny kid with a rosy face walked back and forth among the crowd carrying a bag and shouted.
"Child, come and give me one." A man in silk said to the child with a smile.
"A newspaper sells for 5 cents, and I can get half a cent of income. As long as I sell out the newspaper in my hand, I can buy ten meat buns, and my father, mother, sister, and brother can eat meat in the evening. .”
The child thought to himself as he took the money and then handed the newspaper over skillfully.
Although the imperial court has reduced taxes and exempted them from taxes in recent years, the lives of the people at the bottom are not easy at all.
Many people see meatless food at most twice a year.
In order to subsidize some household expenses. Children in rural areas collect firewood for their families since childhood. Cut fodder.
Children in the city are busy doing odd jobs to supplement their family income. Either become an apprentice early and become an apprentice.
Since the imperial court has been cracking down on child labor in recent years, children under the age of 16 are not allowed to participate in many strenuous physical activities. Violators will be severely punished.
So newspapers have become the first choice for these children.
Many people are illiterate and have a lot of money in their pockets.
Five pennies is a big deal to the rich, but to ordinary people, it may be just a day's worth of food.
In addition, the imperial court will publicly read the important news in the newspaper in teahouses, city gates, and market entrances in five days. Naturally, there is no need for the people to buy newspapers.
This means that unless something big happens or they are lucky, these little newsboys can only make ends meet.
Sometimes, those newsboys can only get guaranteed wages.
But even so, many newsboys are still struggling hard.
Because in their opinion, life is getting better and better.
Although I still don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes, I am much better than before.
The bully dog master disappeared, and the domineering dog gangster entered the cage.
A certain official's house was ransacked, His Majesty granted a general amnesty to the whole world, etc.
For a long time, selling newspapers has broadened their horizons and increased their knowledge...
