Chapter 293: Death to those who rebel
Now it depends on whether this future Xiangguo is responsible enough, the eyes of the official department are more deep, he is the head of the six departments, and he is the official of the imperial court, so he naturally has his own ambitions.
At his level, even if he is in front of the prime minister, he will not grovel, in the final analysis, it is just a political alliance, if either Hu Weiyong or Wang Guangyang falls off, he will have a chance to make up for it.
The current situation is that most of the six officials who can stand in the court know that Li Shaotian has a problem, but they don't know whether the imperial history surnamed Zhao is chasing after the wind or really getting the evidence.
Hu Weiyong glanced back slightly at Li Shaotian on the ground, then turned his head and bowed and said, "Weichen's thoughts are the same as Zuo Xiang's, and this matter should be thoroughly investigated." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Shaotian on the ground shook violently, as if his body was out of control, he knew that if Hu Weiyong didn't cover it up, then the Criminal Department and Dali Temple would not give him face, and he would definitely be able to find out his problem.
There was even more cold sweat on the face of the head of the household, how dare Li Shaotian not give him a big head from the proceeds of corruption, now this kid has no way to live, he won't bite back.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to give an order, his eyes swept aimlessly, and the powerful members of the group of powerful people in purple clothes outside were all a little panicked, and they seemed to have sensed the precursor of the coming storm.
Zhu Biao also watched all this with interest, how many of these people will still be standing here in a few years? It's also interesting to think about it like this, this feeling of being above everything is really intoxicating, Zhu Biao saw that they were panicked, and he himself was suddenly relieved.
Their father and son are the operators of this big game of chess, and at the same time they are also the makers of the rules, and they must be the final winners!
Zhu Yuanzhang finally set his eyes on Hubu Shangshu: "If an honest official is at fault, we can still forgive, and the corrupt person must be severely punished even if the crime is small, what does Shangshu think?" ”
Tobe Shangshu knelt down, put his head on the ground and said, "Holy Wisdom, Bow to Submission!" ”
At this time, everyone can see it, where is this impeachment of the imperial history surnamed Zhao, it is clear that the saint is ready to use the household department to purge the officials, it seems that their cold and summer season is coming again, but I don't know how long it will take to spend this time.
At this time, Li Shaotian, the left attendant of the household who was already kneeling and his knees were numb, suddenly laughed a few times, but it didn't scare anyone, they all knew that this person's whole family would inevitably go to Huangquan together, and it was understandable that he was crazy at this time.
The rest of the people didn't dare to speak, Zhu Biao scolded coldly: "If you have something to say, what's the use of pretending to be crazy and stupid now, why bother today!" ”
Li Shaotian took a few heavy breaths, then shook his head and said: "I, Li Shaotian, have been studying poetry and books since I was a child, but I was born as a former Yuan Jinshi, and I have come to this day step by step. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "The low level of the court is due to the national conditions, not to mention that we will make it clear to you that the reduction of palace expenses since the beginning of this year has improved your income, so I am not grateful, it is simply greedy and shameless!" ”
Li Shaotian snorted: "If you don't get rich as an official, you won't come, Your Majesty is so harsh and abuses your ministers who will be willing to serve the Ming Dynasty in the future, if you continue to be so responsible for others and treat yourself honestly, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will return to the disaster of Qin and Sui, Your Majesty should pass on the crown prince as soon as possible." ”
As soon as these words came out of the court, it seemed to explode, no matter who they were, it seemed that they were going to tear Li Shaotian alive, and the nobles who were still watching the excitement on the side suddenly soared with murderous intent, this is going to smash our jobs!
Li Wenzhong led a group of marquis with red eyes to kick away a group of officials from the six ministries and set Li Shaotian up from the ground, and after a few heavy punches, there was a muffled sound on Li Shaotian's body, and the blood in his mouth spurted out as if he didn't want money, and the civil officials kept scolding him.
On the entire hall, only the father and son of the Zhu family on the imperial steps were still calm, but the words of punishment could not hurt them, and Hu Weiyong, who was watching them, seemed to be suddenly a lot heavier in his heart.
Zhu Biao looked at it and said in a deep voice: "Stop, how can the Holy Emperor be presumptuous!" ”
Hearing His Royal Highness the Prince's speech, everyone also has the backbone, Li Shaotian knows that he is dead, and he dares to curse the fortune of the country, and he also wants to bury a nail between the emperor and the prince, they naturally have to show extreme anger, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed, he had never seen any scene in his life, and a few words of scolding of a person who was dying was nothing, but since he wanted to use this person as the first knife to clean up the officials, he naturally had to cut it down.
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the dragon chair and said: "Li Shaotian, the squire of the Ministry of Industry, and Wu Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, embezzled and bribed and resold the materials of the imperial court, and the crime cannot be punished, and his whole family was sentenced to be beheaded. ”
Li Shaotian was speechless, but he was paralyzed on the ground weakly, tears crossed the blood stains on his face and slid down, and Wu Xuanbo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, struggled and shouted: "The crime of corruption and perversion of the law is unforgivable, how to deal with the ministers, the ministers have all admitted it, but the family is innocent, please ask the saint to spare their lives, please be gracious!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he said indifferently: "When you were corrupt and perverted the law, your wife and children shared the blessings with you, did anyone come out to persuade you to denounce you?" ”
Wu Xuanbo just kept begging for mercy, and Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and immediately dragged them out like dead dogs, especially Li Shaotian, who left a lot of blood stains on the Fengtian Palace.
Li Wenzhong led a group of nobles to kneel: "Please punish the saint for the failure of the courtier's etiquette." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "We said that even if there are some mistakes of an incorruptible official, we can forgive them, but we must remember them in the future and not repeat them." ”
Li Wenzhong kowtowed and promised, and then led the people to retreat to the side, and the nobles behind him seemed to have won a battle, and they were all satisfied.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the remaining officials: "We are from Buyi, we really know that the people are difficult, it is not a lie to harm the people, we will never show mercy to corrupt officials, and from today onwards, from the court to the local government, we will never let go of a corrupt official and corrupt official, I hope you will cherish and love yourself, and don't wake up until you die!" ”
All the officials knelt down and said: "Listen to the hadith and dare not take bribes!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was a little colder: "You are all scholars, you should understand the truth better than our cloth, even we have heard that if the people are unable to survive, the country will die one day, and what good is it for the country to die immediately?" ”
