From beginning to end, what Zhu Youxiao wanted to do was this one thing, not to clean up the Donglin Party.

No matter who is in a key position, he will clean him up. It doesn't matter who is in power, all you have to do is choose someone who listens to you.

That hasn't changed.

As for what this person was like, Zhu Youxiao didn't think about it.

Yan Song and Xu Jie during the time of Emperor Jiajing, who was good and who was bad?

As an emperor, he never distinguishes between good and bad.

Didn't Emperor Qianlong know what kind of person He Shen was? Why do you still use him? This is the Emperor's Mind Technique.

Now what Zhu Youxiao wants to see is that this Chen Kedao is unqualified.

If this is a qualified person, then you will naturally use him;

If this is not a qualified person, you have to use him yourself, but in a different way.

If Chen Kedao is qualified, then he can be released; If he is not qualified, then he can only be a tablet.

People didn't bring it, so Luo Sigong's trip took a lot of time.

At the same time, in the middle of the East Factory.

Wei Zhongxian was happily looking at the confession in front of him, which came from Yao Zongwen.

Last time in Dali Temple. Wei Zhongxian was choked enough by Yao Zongwen that he was almost finished.

Fortunately, Feng Sanyuan formed a party and came out privately.

This time he got Yao Zongwen's confession, Wei Zhongxian could not only let out a bad breath, but also be able to pull back a game.

As for whether someone said that he had framed Yao Zongwen, Wei Zhongxian didn't care at all, and he didn't think it was anything.

The whole thing depends on whether His Majesty believes it or not.

If His Majesty believes that Yao Zongwen was framed by himself, everything will be over; If His Majesty believes in himself, then Yao Zongwen's confession is true.

Even if the confession was really written by himself, it is still true.

As for who His Majesty would believe, Wei Zhongxian was not worried at all.

Yao Zongwen and others accepting bribes is already a sure thing, Your Majesty knows it in his heart, and Wei Zhongxian also knows it in his heart, even if the Donglin Party members are useless in their quibbles.

Putting down the confession in his hand, Wei Zhongxian raised his head and glanced at Sun Yunhe, and asked directly, "Are you okay?" ”

In the past few days, Sun Yunhe has been tortured, and the methods are very intense.

Wei Zhongxian was still worried that Sun Yunhe had killed someone. It doesn't matter if you get hurt, if you do get killed, things will get very troublesome. Although he was not afraid, there was no need to cause such trouble.

Sun Yunhe also knew the severity, and nodded directly, "Father-in-law, don't worry." It's okay, I've arranged for a doctor to show him. ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said with a smile: "This is very good. Now that the interrogation of the case against Xiong Tingbi is almost over, the facts are clear, and there is nothing more to say. The case can be closed. ”

"The next question to ask is the case of forming a party for personal gain. This time, Yao Zongwen confessed that they were instructed by Zou Yuanbiao, so Xiong Tingbi was impeached. You ask the others to get this case off the ground. There is also in the prison of Dali Temple, the words that Zhang Laosan brought to them were implemented on Yang Lian's body. ”

"Wait until that's done! We can arrest Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian, ask some other things from their mouths, and then we can settle this case of forming a party for personal gain! ”

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Sun Yunhe's face was full of joy, and there was a bright light in his eyes.

If this can be done, then the prestige of the East Factory will be greatly enhanced.

"Father-in-law rest assured, he will do his best to never let his father-in-law down!" Sun Yunhe bowed and clenched his fists and said loudly.

Looking at Sun Yunhe's excited appearance, Wei Zhongxian also smiled, his laughter was very hearty, and his face was full of smugness.

I finally waited for this day.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Kedao standing in front of him, slightly surprised.

It's really because this Chen Kedao is completely different from the image he imagined.

In Zhu Youxiao's heart, even if Chen Kedao is not a personable scholar, at least he is the image of an old master.

The result is completely contrary to what Zhu Youxiao thought, Chen Kedao is a middle-aged man in his 30s, short in stature, looking a little more than one meter five, it should not be more than one meter six.

Moreover, his face was a little dark, his figure was thin and thin, and he did not have the image of a master no matter how he looked at it.

"Chen Kedao," Zhu Youxiao called Chen Kedao, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Do you have a reputation?" ”

This is very crucial for Chen Kedao.

If Chen Kedao has a meritorious reputation, then he can have more choices when he uses him, not only to stick to the people, but also to give him an official body, and to do things with half the effort.

"Your Majesty, students are lifters." Chen Kedao said.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, it is enough to have a meritorious name.

In this era, lifting people has already reached the standard of being an official.

It's just that for many people, the starting point for lifting people is too low, and the upper limit is also low, so it is better to farm at home than to become an official.

Becoming a gentry in the local area is the best choice for lifting people.

After all, all the officialdom are jinshi, you are born inferior, this official is not easy to do.

Of course, Daming is not without officials who have achieved high positions with their backgrounds, and the most typical example is Hai Rui.

In the 28th year of Jiajing, Hai Rui participated in the township examination, first served as the teacher of Nanping, Fujian, and later promoted to Chun'an, Zhejiang and Xingguozhi County, Jiangxi. He successively served as the state judge, the head of the household department, the director of the military department, Shang Baocheng, the left and right of the two capitals, and the imperial history of the right capital.

Hai Jui cracked down on Haoqiang, dredged rivers, built water conservancy projects, strongly advocated severe punishment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, prohibited favoritism and bribery, and implemented a whip law to force corrupt officials to return their land to the people, so he had the reputation of "Hai Qingtian".

Yang Lian's honesty is the first, and Zhu Youxiao can't look down on it; In comparison, Hai Rui's incorruptible Zhu Youxiao is acceptable.

Not only can I see it, but I admire it from the heart, and it is the admiration of the two worlds.

Hai Rui advocates not taking a stitch from the people, going to the countryside at the grassroots level, and preparing their own meals; Officials inspect below, local officials greet them, and the food and wine must be customized; It is forbidden to eat and drink at public expense, and it is strictly forbidden to eat and drink.

It can be said that Hai Jui's thinking is ahead of its time, and it is also epoch-making, and it is also where he is not recognized.

Zhu Youxiao remembered very well that after the fall of Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun of the Mingshenzong always valued Hai Rui's fame, and called Hai Rui as the imperial history of Nanjing's right capital in the first month of the following year.

On the way to the post, he was changed to the right waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials.

Hai Rui was already seventy-two years old at the time, and he was willing to follow the meaning of the ancients' corpse admonitions, citing the criminal law of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, skinning people and putting them on grass to make skins, and the provisions of the law that the law was bent to 80 times and sentenced to death by hanging, saying that corruption should be punished in this way.

Others plan current affairs, and their words are extremely practical.

Only to persuade the emperor to use tyrannical criminal law, which was considered wrong by the review at the time.
