After getting Zhu Youjian's arrangement, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the cabinet quickly began to operate.

On the same day, the cabinet issued an edict to the yamen of all ministries in the capital.

Shangyun: Erlu Erlu, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to sin, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. The officials of the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, should be diligent and diligent, to think of the country, from now on, the Dongji Factory went to the yamen in the capital to evaluate the performance, if there are people who sit on the Ya slip number and the corpse of the vegetarian meal, they will be dealt with according to the law, and Wanger and others should be the example of the Ming officials.

The edict is a blow to the officials in the capital who want to knock on the head.

Some officials who were not determined to retreat, but there were still staunch Donglin Party elements secretly agitating.

"Dongchang performance appraisal, aren't we like fish on the chopping board, brother Zhongtai, tomorrow's knock on the matter, let's take a leave of absence."

A Qingliu petty official was a little uneasy.

"Brother Dongming, what are you afraid of? Isn't it just a performance appraisal? Now that Wei Wei is dead, Dongchang also has to be a man with his tail between his legs, and we will knock tomorrow for the country and the people, and Dongchang has nothing to say. ”

Speaking of this, the Zhongtai brother agitated again: "If we can't sweep away the remnants of the eunuch party this time, Dongchang will inevitably make a comeback in the future, and then we will really become the fish on the chopping block, and the disaster of Yang Gong and Zuo Gong is not far away." ”

As soon as the Zhongtai brother said this, the atmosphere suddenly turned upside down, remembering the tragic situation before the death of Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, the crowd was immediately indignant, and it was bound to liquidate the eunuch party.

"Emperor, after the edict, some officials of the Six Ministries and Jiuqing were originally a little loose, but after the agitation of those backbone elements of the Donglin Party, they were reversed again."

"Emperor, those backbone elements of the Donglin Party, the slaves and maids have a list here, and the emperor will give an order, and the slaves and maids can be imprisoned immediately."

As he spoke, Gao Qiqian presented a list.

"No need, I didn't want to press those officials in the yamen with an edict, if they want to come, let them come."

Zhu Youzhen took the list, glanced at it hastily, and then instructed:

"You have to handle the performance appraisal according to the law, and you must have a good attitude when appraising the performance, only the right thing, not the person, and you must not leave a handle on others."

Gao Qiqian heard that he hurriedly said, but he was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Youzhen's arrangement.

secretly slandered, if Wei Wei is still there, these ministers still dare to knock on the que, I am afraid that they will not dare to let out too much noise in the yamen.

Hey, compared to the previous commander of Dongchang, Gao Qiqian suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

Thinking about the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties, the ministers who dared to come to knock on the throne were all to be slapped by the eunuchs and brocade guards.

The emperor is good, but those who don't know the arrangement still think that the emperor encourages the ministers to knock.

Gao Qiqian was unhappy in his heart, and there was a strange look on his face.

"Gao Companion, don't you miss the majesty of the East Factory when you were nine thousand years old?"

Zhu Youzhen noticed the change in Gao Qiqian, so he knocked lightly.

"Slaves don't dare! Slaves and maids should be damned! ”

When he heard the words, he suddenly panicked in his heart, and without waiting for Zhu You's punishment, he knelt on the ground and began to slap his face.

Wei Zhongxian is guilty of rebellion, and Zhu Youzhen's words really have some weight.

And since Wei Zhongxian was struck by lightning, Gao Qiqian had a natural fear of Zhu Youzhen, for fear that he would not do anything well, and he would be struck by Zhu Youzhen's lightning when it rained.

"You remember, I limit your power for your own good, go back and think about it, don't just think about it all day long, don't blame me for not being able to protect you when the time comes."

The people who have been in the palace for many years, don't they know the meaning of these words, they raised their subtext and heard the words, their eyes were red, and they were busy kowtowing to thank them.

-------

Early the next morning, Beijing officials wearing official uniforms of various birds and birds came to gather outside the noon gate one after another.

Each person held a copy of the recital, and the content naturally demanded that the remnants of the eunuch party be severely punished.

After the people had almost gathered, the officials passed the noon gate and went straight to the Huangji Gate.

After passing through the opening of the noon gate, the officials saw a row of soldiers in brocade clothes standing solemnly in front of the Huangji Gate from a distance.

There is also a small stool in front of the brocade guard, and there seems to be a kettle and pastries on the high table around it.

Looking further to the side, there seem to be doctors from the Imperial Hospital and eunuchs in the palace, and there seems to be a cook in the imperial dining room.

The officials who came to knock on each other immediately looked at each other, not knowing which one this young man had done.

But when they came, they couldn't retreat, and everyone encouraged each other, so they walked to the Huangji Gate.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a red-robed python-clothed eunuch coming out behind the Jinyi guard, who was the master of ceremonies Xu Yingyuan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since you are here to read the book, then hand the fold to our family."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, they thought it was going to be a hard battle, but they didn't expect that as soon as they came, they would accept the song.

After everyone finished handing over the music, it seemed that they had punched the cotton, and they were immediately at a loss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the song is already on, then please go back to the Yamen Office as soon as possible, we can hear that the East Factory went to the Yamen of various ministries early in the morning to evaluate the performance."

Xu Yingyuan persuaded again.

When everyone heard this, they were in a dilemma, and it was said that the song had been handed over, and the knock would be considered a success, but there was no joy of success in everyone's hearts.

Especially the backbone elements of the Donglin Party, vaguely felt that the emperor did not take this knock seriously at all, and it was estimated that it would be a stone to sink into the sea.

"Please issue an edict to severely punish the remnants of the eunuch party, clean up the source, and consolidate the dynasty."

At this time, a backbone of the Donglin Party, who was known to be anxious, immediately knelt on the ground and shouted hoarsely.

The other backbone of the Donglin Party also hurriedly cooperated, and immediately hula lala knelt down.

It was only at this time that the officials in front of the Imperial Gate found a hint of knocking.

Because Zhu Youzhen did not expand the scope of the eunuch party's crackdown, officials on the periphery of the eunuch party, who were previously in high positions, were not implicated in the eunuch case.

Naturally, those vested interests in high positions will not come to knock on the que, not only did they not come, but they also deeply hate the officials in their respective departments who participate in the knock.

Therefore, the officials who participated in this knocking operation are basically petty officials of the fifth rank and below.

This is also where Zhu Youzhen's confidence lies, the officials above the third grade do not move, and this group of small shrimps can't make waves.

"Since the adults are unwilling to leave, then our family will not persuade you, but Your Majesty has instructed that you must not be harsh, and the master of ceremonies has prepared benches, tea and snacks for the adults, please move."

After Xu Yingyuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and dozens of eunuchs immediately rushed out behind him, stepped forward to help the officials who had just knelt down again, and then led them to the refreshment rest area that had been set up next to him.

Faced with the delicate dim sum made in the imperial dining room and the aromatic aroma of tribute tea, the officials who knocked on the que were stunned.

The feeling of knocking that had just risen immediately dissipated without a trace.
