Chapter 171: Chopping off his head again
Some people immediately panicked, they thought that the emperor would summon them, and then they would come to the court to give a dead admonition, and they really wiped their prestige. But the emperor didn't even show his face, and arrested people directly.
The people who were thrown into the Jinyiwei prison were better, and those who were in the Dongchang prison had green faces.
The messy torture instruments that the flesh made people arrange in the prison, as well as the corpses that had been executed, all made these pampered officials tremble.
Some officials wanted to be convinced and let the fans of the East Factory go to spread the word, but unfortunately the people of the East Factory did not dump them, and whoever dared to make trouble would go up directly and serve them with a whip.
Of course, there are also people who have received special treatment, such as the heads of the three yamen, who were all imprisoned in a separate prison of Jinyiwei, without anyone else's company, one person in one cell, and the cells were also clean and tidy.
In total, more than 130 officials were arrested by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, including some low-level officials.
Liang Jia took the lead in stabbing these junior officials, and cut off the heads of more than 20 low-level junior officials in one day.
The news that more than 20 low-level officials had their heads cut off reached the cells on the same day, and some spineless officials could no longer care about their face or prestige, and knelt on the ground crying wolf and begging for mercy in the direction of the palace.
It's a pity that the fans guarding the cell in Dongchang ignore them, and the emperor can't see it.
The next day, twenty seven-grade officials were pulled out and directly beheaded, and public opinion in the capital was in an uproar again.
The emperor is so ruthless, he even cut off his head without interrogation.
For the people of the capital, the official boycott has little to do with them, anyway, few of these officials are good things, and it is best to cut them.
However, for those big families, big businessmen, and officials, the emperor's move not only inadvertently knocked out the interests of some people, but also let a group of officials see the emperor's ruthlessness. If you want to do something in the future, I guess you have to think more about whether you can save your head.
The third day passed, and the officials who begged for mercy did not wait for a glimmer of life, and began to curse the emperor.
This gave Dongchang Fanzi a glimpse of the style of a reader scolding, there are not many dirty words, but the words are heart-wrenching, and the words are infiltrating.
However, on the fourth day, the emperor's fellows who were scolding were the first to be pushed out and beheaded.
Then, no one dared to scold anymore. Those who had not yet been beheaded began to take remedial measures, and asked Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi guards for paper and pen in prison overnight, and began to write hard.
So, on the fifth day, Liang Jia immediately received forty or fifty copies of the excerpts that praised his plan for the integration of the three yamen.
Liang Jia smiled with satisfaction, but still made another will, and at the same time dismissed the heads and officials of the three yamen, Yushitai, Duchayuan, and Dali Temple, and all went home to retire. At the same time, he began to promote the officials who had written to agree to the integration plan.
According to the configuration of the new Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is one president, four deans, and five vice presidents, who are in charge of the affairs of the five regions of the country. The country is divided into Gyeonggi region (including the provinces surrounding the capital and the northeast region), the Lianghuai region, the Jiangnan region, the southwest region, and the northwest region.
Under the vice president, there is a specific department's detective department, which is jointly appointed by Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Then, according to the setting of the imperial court institutions, the corresponding departments supervised the administrative behavior of officials in different departments.
Each department has a minister, the grade is the fifth grade, the deputy is from the five grades, and the officials needed below are discussed by the president and the five vice presidents, and then reported to the administrative office, and finally reported to Liang Jia Zhu for approval. The grade is lowered by one level.
At present, there are almost 1,000 Jinshi and Juzi to be elected in the Daliang State, and there is no worry that no one will be an official.
Both new and existing officials must be trained before they can take up their posts. Therefore, before the Metropolitan Procuratorate officially began its work, Liang Jia taught those officials who had escaped by chance.
Of course, before giving them lessons, Liang Jia had not yet assigned the position, because the information of these officials was not systematic on the Jinyi Wei side, and Liang Jia needed to understand them comprehensively. If there are still some morally corrupt guys mixed in with it, it should be eliminated as soon as possible.
So, on the fourth day after the beheading, more than a dozen officials who had escaped the end of the beheading disappeared again, and even their homes were raided.
From beginning to end, Liang Jia confiscated a total of more than 2 million taels of silver in the homes of the three officials of the Qingshui Yamen, of which 800,000 taels were confiscated by the imperial historian of the right capital of the Imperial Historical Observatory, which was the largest moth.
In the end, there were less than a hundred people left in the three yamen, and the undead officials were all dismissed and went home, and the highest remaining officials were two fourth-rank officials, and the rest were all sixth-seventh, and eighth-nineth. If it were put in the past, these people would not be able to get on the stage.
But although the new Metropolitan Procuratorate is not of high rank, it has great power, and these guys will taste power sooner or later. Of course, Liang Jia will not let them mess around, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are a knife hanging over their heads. Whoever dares to fabricate charges indiscriminately, waiting for them is the machete of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
By the time Rourou returned to the capital after a long journey, Liang Jia was ready to go to Guozijian to give lessons to this group of officials.
In one of the largest classrooms of Guozijian, it was not Guozijian's students who were doing it at this time, but a group of officials. However, the group of officials were all young, and the oldest was no more than forty years old.
The group of officials sat in the room, all a little apprehensive. They have been studying for many years, and many old masters have taught them, and it is the first time that the emperor has taught them. What's more, what the emperor is like today, the officials in the court know it.
Since she ascended the throne since she was a child, she was supposed to cultivate the study of the emperor or learn all kinds of knowledge, but it is a pity that the queen mother did not let the emperor learn even the slightest bit of knowledge in order to better control. To put it mildly, the current emperor actually doesn't know a single big character, just like those ordinary people who face the loess every day and turn their backs to the sky, and they can't read a big old man.
If it weren't for the emperor, it would not be the turn of such a person to teach them a lesson.
But they don't know what kind of teaching they are going to teach today, and everyone guesses that it must be some kind of ideological indoctrination of loyalty and patriotism. This kind of thinking, they are also often instilled in some juniors. However, looking at the front of the house, there is a wooden plank, and a few charcoal pens, this kind of thing usually appears in poor homes, but I didn't expect it to appear here in Guozijian today.
"The emperor has arrived!" A shrill voice rang out outside the door.
The officials in the room immediately stood up in unison, and they all closed their mouths. A dark shadow flashed at the door, and Liang Jia, who was wearing a pale yellow robe, strode in.
After accepting the kneeling salute of the officials, Liang Jia asked them all to sit down. But the officials present were a little afraid to do so, how could they have a place in front of the emperor.
