This time, it's different from the last time.

This time it was a real blow.

Guo was [furious], and naturally carried out a dimensionality reduction blow to Shang Shutai.

seized the position of Shangshu of Cheng Yu's Ministry of Officials, fined him for two years, demoted him to a first-class earl by two levels, and seized 500 households in the city, and only retained the position of Shangshu Ling to set an example.

He was also a scholar of the Ministry of Industry and a scholar of the Ministry of Labor, and he was demoted to a second-class to a third-class earl, and 400 households were seized to set an example.

Cao Cao, the first assistant of the cabinet, was seized for three months, and 100 households were seized as punishment.

Seize the Chengqiao Ruilu in the imperial history for three months, and seize 100 households in the food town as a punishment.

Seize the Ministry of Finance's Shangshu Wang Canglu for a month as a warning.

He took away the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Shangshu Jujube for a month as a warning.

Seize the position of the secretary of Cui Yan's Ministry of Rites, seize the title, seize the food, take the land of the Son of Heaven 1,000 and 70 acres, take the blessing shade, abolish the concubine, and drive out of the capital to return to his hometown Tuntian.

Cui Yan himself will not be hired for life, and the three generations of Cui Yan's children and grandchildren will not be officials, and all the political forces of the Cui family will be eradicated together, so that he will get out of Luoyang bare.

At the beginning, 23 officials of the Ministry of Industry who participated in the brawl and 20 subordinate officials were dismissed.

Yiying people and others were all abolished as concubines, driven out of the capital, abolished the original household registration, moved to Dunhuang County, Liangzhou, and incorporated into the Tuntian civil register, and were not allowed to be hired for life, and the three generations of children and grandchildren were not allowed to be officials.

All 264 Shangshutai officials who participated in the siege of Yushitai officials were dismissed, and 47 people with serious circumstances were abolished as concubines, and their families moved to Tuntian, Xuanwu County, Pingzhou, where they were not allowed to be officials for life, and their children and grandchildren were not allowed to enter the office.

More than 300 officials were punished in one go.

As soon as this verdict came out and was announced to Shangshutai, it immediately caused a collective shock among the entire bureaucracy.

The reason is also very simple, this time the penalty is too heavy.

Compared with the last time when he lifted it high and fell gently, this time, the emperor didn't even lift it, and directly kicked everyone away.

This time, like the last time, it was also a political struggle, but this time the penalty was much more terrible than the last one.

More than 300 officials were implicated, the best was demoted, and the worst was the group of people who fought, one of them was all driven out of the capital, and three generations were not allowed to be officials.

No high-ranking officials were dismissed before, everyone was just a small punishment, and the content of this punishment was quite terrifying.

It is light to demote the lord and take the food.

Cheng Yu, the boss of Shangshutai, directly lost the concurrent management of the Ministry of Officials, and was abolished from the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and only retained the position of Shangshuling.

The worst thing is Cui Yan, who was directly deposed as a concubine and driven out of Beijing, lost everything he once had, and was not allowed to be an official for the rest of his life, and his political career was directly zeroed.

This is not counted, but also to leave a legacy for future generations.

Three generations of children and grandchildren are not allowed to be officials, and the political power accumulated over several generations is directly zeroed.

The emperor's reason was that Cui Yan was unfair, selfish and selfish, and on the premise that both sides were wrong, he actually focused on punishing one side, obviously favoring the other side, and was not worthy of being an official at all.

This behavior annoyed the emperor, so the emperor directly beat Cui Yan to death with a stick.

Cui Yan was killed along with the officials who were fighting.

Because of the quarrel, he lost his appearance and the attitude of officials, fought and bled at the feet of the Son of Heaven, did not deal with official affairs, ranked his personal grievances before official affairs, and was extremely selfish, and he was not worthy of being an official at all.

These people were also beaten to death with a stick, and they were also beaten to the roots of their children and grandchildren—

Not only did he have no official status, he was incorporated into the civil register, but he also lost his original household registration and was exiled to Dunhuang County, Liangzhou, and was not allowed to be an official for three generations.

The treatment is the same as those who committed Guo Peng's taboo before, and it is even worse.

Those people went to Jincheng County, and these people were to be sent to Dunhuang County and Xuansu County more far.

Because of the excessively harsh punishment measures, the entire Shangshutai bureaucracy fell into a short-term downtime.

During this period, three officials told Guo Peng whether such punishment was too strict, and hoped that some punishment measures could be mitigated.

It's just that officials scold and fight, at most it is a matter of personal quality, not a political issue or a corruption issue, so why should it be punished in such a harsh way?

If even such problems are to be punished in such a severe way, will the future political problems and corruption problems be a river of blood and a mountain of corpses?

They believe that most people are innocent and that they really shouldn't be sitting.

Officials who have not made mistakes themselves should not be punished, and wanton sitting together is not the way of a wise king.

Many people are implicated, they have no qualifications to choose, and they themselves are very helpless, I hope Guo Peng can understand.

Guo Peng ignored them.

This is the time when he expands the scope of his attack to centralize power, and you actually stop it?

Of course, if you don't send it, you don't see it.

As a result, they saw that Guo Peng was silent about this, and felt that there should be a play, so they actually gathered more than ten people to go to the table together, and together they handed over sixteen copies of the performance, asking Guo Peng for leniency.

It is strongly demanded that the scope of the crackdown be narrowed, the first evil offenders punished, and the middle and low-level officials who were forced to join the army should be spared.

Their behavior completely angered Guo Peng.

In a fit of rage, Guo Peng ordered the sixteen officials listed above to be whipped thirty times, thrown into prison, and severely punished for crimes against the king.

Guo Hong, the imperial historian, together with Si Li's lieutenant Guoyuan, who had been pretending to be sick and was now suddenly recovered, and Guo Yi, the secretary of the criminal department who had been working as an ostrich, interrogated the case overnight.

This time, the efficiency of the three divisions is as fast as lightning.

Before dawn the next morning, they jointly made the decision to depose the sixteen officials as concubines, deprive them of their original household registration, and exile their families to Tuntian, Jiuquan County, Liangzhou.

This trial decision was immediately agreed by Guo Peng, and it was immediately executed and could not be changed.

Guo Peng still felt that it was not enough, and the punishment was not serious enough, so he added the punishment of three generations of officials who were not allowed to be officials, and hit their children and grandchildren with a stick.

As a result, the number of officials implicated has increased.

Among them, the number of officials who lost their official positions and were exiled from Beijing rose to 106.

Of these one hundred and six people, only forty-seven have not been implicated in their descendants, but they themselves are not allowed to be officials for the rest of their lives.

Having said that, after losing their original household registration and moving to Liangzhou, their political future was largely abolished.

In places like Liangzhou, there is no such good network as Zhongyuan Prefecture and County to provide them with the opportunity to be officials.

Starting all over again?

How long will that be?

Unless Liangzhou soon becomes a prosperous place, they will have a chance to return to the court.

That's pretty good.

The fifty-nine families behind the remaining fifty-nine people were not allowed to be officials for three consecutive generations, and they had to be exiled to Liangzhou to participate in Tuntian and go to build Liangzhou...... Who remembers them?

It's such a harsh punishment.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and the horror was so great that no one dared to speak out anymore.

All the officials were frightened and silent, and they did not dare to say a word, nor did they dare to put on a single recital, for fear that they would be implicated.

The officials who were punished but did not leave Luoyang were even more afraid to speak out, and Cheng Yu, who was pale, took the lead and went to the Qinzheng Hall en masse, confessed their sins to the emperor, and begged the emperor to calm his thunderous anger.

After drying them for an hour and a half, Guo Peng asked Su Yuan to come out of the Qinzheng Palace and told them all to get out.

Do what you should do honestly, do practical things, dare to say irresponsible things, and be careful of your children and grandchildren!

The officials are close to each other.

Although the terrible punishment came to an end, Guo Peng's thunderous anger and sudden severe punishment beat every official into a daze.

Cheng Yu is like this, Tian Feng is like this, Cao Cao is like this, and Qiao Rui is like this.

There is no one who is not frightened by the outcome of such punishment.
