Wang Zhi did not disappoint Zhu Jianshen, he knew his position very well.
He is the sword in the emperor's hand. He cuts wherever the emperor points.
There are abundant personal and material evidence, and the trial has already been carried out. The confessions, witnesses, and family members of the victims are all there. All it takes is to go through the process.
So there was basically no delay. It only took three days for the dust to settle.
Yang Rong's great-grandson Yang Ye, and his grandsons Yang Tai, Yang Lun, and Yang Zuo were all beheaded. The Yang family was raided, and their families were sent into exile by guarding the border.
At the same time, more than a dozen senior officials in the capital were also taken to the execution ground together with the main criminal Yang Ye, including officials at the rank of minister, who were beheaded together with Yang Ye.
However, the families of these people were not held accountable.
Even so, it also caused huge waves in the circles of Beijing officials.
Who is Yang Rong?
That was the pride of civil servants and an outstanding representative of the civil service group at its peak.
How can they not be angry when such people are treated like this? The emperor is going too far!
If I endure it any longer, can I still have a good life in the future?
As a result, they spontaneously found their respective bosses and prepared to fight with the emperor.
Unexpectedly, these big guys stayed behind closed doors and did not show any stance, as if nothing happened.
Now, the civil servants were really anxious. They vaguely understood something, but they still refused to give up.
If it were other things, it would be okay, but this time the emperor touched the roots of the civil servants, and Sanyang Bingzheng was blown away by them. As a result, the current emperor has been treated like this, how can he endure it?
They are not convinced!
But what disappoints them is that no matter how hard they try, their boss seems to be deaf or mute and doesn't even fart.
At this time, the nature of the double-edged sword of power becomes apparent.
If you can't hurt others, you have to hurt yourself!
Six ministries and nine ministers, cabinet bachelors...many big shots were dragged into the water.
There are endless comments such as "Three pavilions made of paper and six ministers made of clay", but it is hard to ignore them.
Zhu Jianshen watched with cold eyes, waiting for the situation to continue to escalate. His inaction soon made many big bosses unable to bear the slander and abuse, and began to ask for help and ask him to seek justice.
This is what you asked me for... Zhu Jianshen is just waiting for them to come for help.
With this excuse, Zhu Jianshen started what he had always wanted to do but was always worried about - cleaning up the problem of redundant officials in Beijing.
Of course, Zhu Jianshen did not end directly.
Today, he can be said to be cunning and scheming, and his control over the power field has reached an extreme level.
It was still Wang Zhi who took action and thoroughly investigated the circle of Beijing officials.
In just ten days, more than 300 people were dismissed!
Zhu Jianshen's tough tactics immediately aroused public outrage, and officials from the minister's level down became colluding and began to resist fiercely.
Seeing this situation, Wang Zhi once again stepped up his inspection efforts, and the lists were submitted one after another.
Zhu Jianshen had only one reply: dismissal!
The Forbidden Army is under Wang Zhi's control. No matter how civilian officials can infiltrate, it is impossible for them to infiltrate the Forbidden Army.
At the same time, Zhu Jianshen ordered that the imperial camp be guarded by the imperial army. Anyone who dared to make any changes would be punished with treason. This was to prevent military generals in the capital camp from being infiltrated by civilian officials. He was extremely cautious.
However, although Zhu Jianshen was cautious in tactics, he was quite arrogant in strategy.
If you dare to make me unhappy, I will kill you!
This time, without any bells and whistles, Zhu Jianshen took the most direct and brutal counterattack.
Come and open one, no mercy.
As for the large number of job vacancies caused by excessive clean-up, Zhu Jianshen already has a proper way to deal with it.
The Hanlin Academy, a talent reserve, was put to use by him.
not enough?
It doesn't matter, there is still the Imperial College.
If it's not enough, I will use your most annoying minister.
Come on, let's see who can't stand it first.
In the end, there was no need to go to the Imperial College. When we arrived at the Hanlin Academy, the battle was basically over.
The fate of the Hanlin Academy not only left Beijing officials helpless, but also greatly alleviated the pressure of public opinion they created.
Originally, the Hanlin Academy was also supporting them, but as soon as they were favored by the emperor, these writers immediately turned their guns and pointed them at them.
These groups who spend their days copying books and pursuing knowledge are all eloquent, and they mainly believe that if you have breasts, you will be a mother.
Who wants to hang out with the emperor and have meat to eat?
Now that there is an opportunity to become an official, who is willing to work hard to copy books?
They immediately devoted themselves to the emperor's "whitewashing" work. They could wash it, but they couldn't wash it hard!
What should I do if I can’t even wash it with hard washing?
It's easy to handle, just blame the eunuch Wang Zhi!
Anyway, the emperor is wise. Even if there is a slight flaw, it is because Wang Zhi has deceived him.
Zhu Jianshen's trick of "defeating magic with magic" was quite effective. In less than a month, he completely shut down the Jingguan Group.
This round, he fired more than a thousand people.
Not only did we clear up the problem of redundant staff, but we also adopted a tough stance.
This time, he was serious about it.
The effect was immediate and he won!
But problems have also arisen. New officials are still insufficient in ability, which has affected the government to a certain extent.
Also, he lost his heart as a civil servant.
There is no possibility of reconciliation between monarch and ministers.
However, Zhu Jianshen did not regret it. He knew that this was a stage that he had to go through. He did this offending thing. When his son's generation comes, he only needs to give a little benefit to make the civil servants grateful.
There is no way, someone has to be the villain.
Zhu Jianshen couldn't guarantee that his son could have his own skills, so he had to solve this problem.
After the incident came to an end, Zhu Jianshen began to redeploy, bringing the eunuch group to the forefront.
Since there is no hope of directly governing the country with Confucianism, let’s take a detour and use Confucianism to rule by law, and then use Confucianism to govern the country.
So, Wang Zhi's sharp steel knife was completely unsheathed...

Japan.
Li Qing's return made Takumi Murakami and Saburo Inoue heave a long sigh of relief. The days without a backbone were really painful.
They were really afraid that if Li Qing left, he would never come back.
"Tell me about the situation." Li Qing sighed.
After more than twenty consecutive days of traveling and traveling, he was also a little tired, so he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"yes."
The two looked at each other, and Murakami Takumi asked softly: "General, how about I say it first?"
Saburo Inoue nodded.
Murakami Takumi took a deep breath and said: "Master, during the period after you left, Hosokawa came three times. The first two times, the villain spent a lot of money to send the envoys, but the last time was really difficult to deal with..."
"Surrendered?"
"No!" Takumi Murakami said, "The Great God has told us that we are people who want to do great things. We cannot rely on others. How dare a villain do that?"
After a pause, "There's been a falling out! I guess... they will attack us within ten days."
"Yeah." Li Qing was unmoved, "Is there more?"
"The two guardians nearby are also ready to attack us, but no one wants to be the first to attack." Takumi Murakami said.
"Well, is there anything else?"
Murakami Takumi didn't even open his eyes when he saw this situation. While he admired it, he also felt quite relaxed, which showed that he was capable of solving it.
"The villain has finished his report."
"I'll do it." Saburo Inoue took the baton and said, "Master, the samurai have been suppressed for too long and are in urgent need of release. Moreover, the high salary you have set is too expensive. If we don't expand, we will almost not be able to support it. .”
After a moment of hesitation, he said, "You'd better show up as soon as possible. You've been in seclusion for too long, and the warriors are already panicking. They think you...have gone crazy."
"Well..." Li Qing opened his eyes, stood up and said, "Is there anything else?"
"That's all." Saburo Inoue shook his head.
Li Qing nodded: "You go gather the warriors, and I will go there later."
"Yes." Saburo Inoue was delighted and hurried away.
Li Qing said again: "Murakami Takumi, hurry up and prepare the food for the battle out of the city. The warriors have rested for so long, it's time for them to move around."
"yes."
Murakami Takumi was overjoyed that he was finally going to expand.
After preparing for so long, practicing for so long, and waiting for so long, I finally have to show my hard strength.
Although the current situation is difficult, with the help of God, everything will not be a problem.
On the training ground.
Li Qing's appearance made all the warriors excited.
Not only is the great god safe, but his magical skills have also improved to a higher level, which is not enough to kill everyone.
They had been depressed for too long, and finally they could vent. Everyone dreamed of killing the enemy, making meritorious deeds, and being promoted to high-ranking warriors.
Every time you advance to a level, your salary will be greatly improved, and you will also gain a high status among the warriors, becoming an object of respect and envy for others.
They can't wait.
Li Qing did not dampen their enthusiasm. After an impassioned speech, he began the pre-war deployment.
Eight hundred reserves were left to defend the city in response to the Hosokawa clan's revenge, and promised:
As long as you defend it, you can be promoted to the samurai system. Those who fight bravely and make meritorious deeds will be promoted to the ninth level samurai!
Saburo Inoue was also assigned to defend the city.
The only ones Li Qing wants to dispatch are the two hundred elite warriors.
In a place where more than a thousand armed forces can separate one party from another, his personal force was displayed to the maximum extent.
Moreover, these two hundred warriors are all elite warriors wearing armor and holding high-quality samurai swords. Isn't it more than enough to deal with a guardian generation?
After completing the pre-war arrangements, Li Qing asked everyone to relax for two days, and then started the battle state.
After the war, meritorious deeds must be rewarded and transgressions must be punished!
Just by showing their faces, the fighting enthusiasm of these warriors was completely ignited. They were no longer depressed before, and they were all extremely excited.
After Li Qing had given these people enough encouragement, he went to rest.
He was really tired from running around for days.
I slept from noon to the afternoon of the next day.
When I woke up again, the fatigue was gone and I was back to my best condition.
Li Qing stretched out, his bones crackling with relief.
When they arrived at the main and guest rooms, Saburo Inoue and Takumi Murakami were already waiting for him. When they saw him coming, they quickly stood up and saluted.
"Great God."
"Yeah." Li Qing nodded, came to the low table and sat down, "Go and get some food and wine, let's eat and chat."
"The general stays back, and the villain can take care of it." Murakami Takumi said and went ahead.
Inoue Saburo curled his lips in disdain and said in a low voice: "Master, this person is only used to flattering others, and he really doesn't have much ability."
"Oh? Haha..." Li Qing couldn't help laughing.
He thought: Sure enough, wherever there are people, there is struggle!
