After the Assassin Song Haihuang and his two men were escorted to the capital, Liu Juntao ordered Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan, and other families of the thieves, as well as accomplices, to be escorted to Datong Town, where they were uniformly deployed by the Shogunate of the Shanxi Governor's Mansion and sent to various places on the border of Shanxi to build cities and fortresses.

At the same time, Liu Juntao confiscated all the property of Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and other thieves, and all the money and grain were used as armaments.

Since the three legal divisions of the imperial court had not yet finally convicted Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and other thieves at this time, Liu Juntao disposed of the families and family wealth of these thieves in advance, and was suspected of forcing the imperial court to close the case as soon as possible.

As a result, many imperial historians in the DPRK and China stood up one after another to impeach Liu Juntao, accusing Liu Juntao of arrogance and lawlessness, and at the same time, officials in various parts of Shanxi also complained about this, thinking that Liu Juntao was too domineering.

Datong Town, Shanxi Governor's Palace.

Lan Siqi, Minister of the Central Committee, Xiang Qun, Minister of the Military Department, Liu Zi'an, Minister of Intelligence, Tang Yu, Minister of Commerce, Guo Yongzhong, Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhang Yuqing, Minister of Praise and Painting, and Huang Wu, Minister of Inspection, gathered together, and everyone was discussing the current situation with Liu Juntao.

Regarding the situation in Shanxi and the DPRK at this time, everyone was divided into two parties, arguing and not giving in to each other in the lobby.

Lan Siqi, Minister of the Central Committee, Tang Yu, Minister of Commerce, Guo Yongzhong, Minister of Civil Affairs, and Zhang Yuqing, Minister of Praise and Painting, all advocated that the Shanxi Governor's Mansion should not be too showy, and that the disposal of the families and wealth of these thieves should obey the will of the imperial court, and even if they want to influence the trend of the situation, they should also use relatively covert means instead of going into battle shirtless.

However, Xiang Qun, minister of the military department, Liu Zi'an, minister of intelligence, and Huang Wu, director of the inspection department, all supported Liu Juntao's approach.

The three of them thought that Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and other thieves had no national law, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and there was no reason to talk about such thieves, so they should be punished by thunderous means.

As for the impeachment of those imperial historians in the imperial court, the Shanxi Governor's Mansion does not have to pay attention to them at all, these imperial historians are all people who are full of benevolence and morality, but they do not have any practical ability, as long as Liu Juntao is dedicated to the country and severely disposes of Zhang Yongxiang and Wu Yuan, these traitorous traitors, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world will stand on the side of the Shanxi Governor's Palace, and even His Majesty will definitely support Liu Juntao.

The argument between the two sides lasted from this morning until noon, and Liu Juntao was also involved.

Liu Juntao's point of view has always been the same, that is, there is no need to be polite to traitors such as Zhang Yongxiang and Wu Yuan, and they should be dealt with directly.

"If the court has any concerns, then the governor will act on his behalf! This governor will never exonerate these traitors with Xu Chaozhong! ”

Liu Juntao said loudly in the lobby, but Lan Siqi, Tang Yu, Guo Yongzhong, and Zhang Yuqing still insisted on their own opinions, and the four of them believed that even if these traitors were in the court, they would inevitably end up with their heads on the ground, at best, they would just protect their families.

His Majesty and the imperial court will not risk the condemnation of the world to protect these traitors, so there is no need for the Shanxi Governor's Office to kill them all, it is better to concentrate on cleaning up the current situation, carry out the various plans of the shogunate as soon as possible, and build Shanxi into a good situation like Shandong.

Xiang Qun, Liu Zi'an and Huang Wu advocated "annihilating the enemy to the fullest", for these traitors, even their family members are all guilty, and the three of them don't believe in the ill-gotten gains obtained by these traitors, so these family members have not enjoyed it? When Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and others betrayed the country, did these family members play a role in fueling the troubles?

No way!

Liu Juntao also couldn't stop nodding, in the justice of later generations, he did not advocate crime and family, Liu Juntao did not agree with this, just like Xiang Qun, Liu Zi'an and Huang Wu said, the family members of some criminals also played a role in the process, so to a certain extent, the crime and family members also have the significance of fair justice.

At present, Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and others, their families must also be involved, otherwise it is impossible for these two people to operate for all these years, and the children in the family and clan of the two must be used as minions for the two.

Liu Juntao's move to dispose of the families of the thieves, although there will be some innocent people, but most of them deserve it!

At this time, what Liu Juntao needs is time, the Tatar Ministry is rising in full force at this time, and Liu Juntao needs to deal with his rear before the Tatar Department is ready to go south, so there is no time or energy to screen them one by one at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen! State affairs are important! ”

Liu Juntao said loudly to everyone: "The Tatar Ministry is rearming its armament, and the governor must not relax in the slightest. Moreover, in the face of the threat of the Tatars, there must be no chaos in the backyard of the Governor, and today's heavy fist is imperative! ”

Liu Juntao said categorically, Lan Siqi, Tang Yu, Guo Yongzhong, and Zhang Yuqing were also in deep thought.

Indeed, if one day the Tatar army marched south, Liu Juntao, as the governor of Shanxi, would inevitably lead his army north to fight against the Tatars.

Compared with the instability of the rear when the army went north, it is reasonable to start heavier at this time.

Thinking of this, the opposition voices of Lan Siqi, Tang Yu, Guo Yongzhong, and Zhang Yuqing are also much smaller.

In the end, the day's controversy did not end until the afternoon, and Liu Juntao's treatment of Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and other traitors' families was also recognized by everyone.

After that, the shogunate's ministries began to operate rapidly, not only sending personnel to the imperial court and starting to "fight lawsuits" with the imperial historians in the court, but also through the relationship between the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the provinces, they began to mobilize private forces to create public opinion support in the community.

December of the fourth year of Tianshun.

As the end of the year approached, the atmosphere of the New Year became stronger and stronger, and the sensational news of the assassination of Liu Juntao, the governor of Shanxi, spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, a group of local generals led by Hu Dexing, the chief soldier of Shandong Town, and Zhang Xiaojun, the deputy chief soldier, wrote to the imperial court, these generals can be said to be excited, and they all hated Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and other traitors, these traitors not only caused trouble to the imperial court, treason and collaboration with the enemy, but also these people's family members also openly assassinated the court generals who defended one side, which is simply overturned!

Even Yan Shenggong, who has always been indisputable with the world, openly wrote to the imperial court, advocating that the imperial court should correct the discipline, and this kind of rebellion must not be tolerated!

Yan Shenggong is the leader of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Shenggong publicly expressed his stance on this matter, fully supporting Liu Juntao, the governor of Shanxi, which suddenly shocked the government and the opposition, and even the many imperial historians who were noisy in the court before also died down, and everyone did not dare to make any more noise, lest they be infamous for it.

At the same time, Emperor Tianshun was also quite angry in the face of the military generals in various places, as well as the letters of civil officials and bigwigs such as Yan Shenggong.

Originally, some civil officials in the court found many excuses to excuse and excuse the Jin merchants and others, and Emperor Tianshun still had some hesitation, but at this time, Emperor Tianshun was only angry in his heart.

Although Liu Juntao wantonly arrested people and raided homes in Shanxi, he also disposed of the families of Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and other criminals without going through the trial of the three legal divisions of the imperial court, which made Emperor Tianshun very annoyed.

But compared with the blatant assassination of the dignified governor of Shanxi, these are all trivial.

After all, these things that Liu Juntao did were also largely because Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and other traitors betrayed the country to seek glory, and what they did was too angry.

As a result, there was a strong call to severely punish Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and other traitorous traitors, and to investigate these traitors in the DPRK and China.

This move was in the hands of Emperor Tianshun, so Emperor Tianshun pushed the boat down the river and directly ordered Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan, Wan Huaer and other traitors to be beheaded in public, and then this incident launched a huge cleanup in the court.

In just a few days, Emperor Tianshun dismissed or demoted more than 20 ministers in the court, and four of them were labeled as traitors and traitors, and were directly imprisoned in the Beizhen Fusi Prison.

This trend suddenly shocked the ministers of the DPRK and China, and many ministers were silent, for fear that they would be involved.

Emperor Tianshun took this opportunity to purge the court in less than a month, and completely controlled the authority of the entire court when the Chinese New Year's Eve of the fifth year of Tianshun came!

At the same time, Emperor Tianshun did not forget Liu Juntao, and issued an order at the first time, posthumously recognized all the disposals of Liu Juntao in Shanxi, and issued an edict to reward Liu Juntao.

Seeing this, the people from all over the court and Shanxi [Apex www.booktxt.xyz] all understood that Liu Juntao had become a bloody sword of Emperor Tianshun, what did Emperor Tianshun need, and which force did he want to deal with, Liu Juntao would rush up and kill for a while!

As if he was doing something in Shanxi, Liu Juntao defeated almost all the forces of the Jin merchants in Shanxi, and Emperor Tianshun cleaned up the "protection ~ umbrella" of the Jin merchants in the court, and regained control of the authority of the imperial court.

All of a sudden, Liu Juntao's prestige in Shanxi reached its peak, and dozens of local town guard generals such as Hu Dexing, the chief soldier of Shandong Town, and Zhang Xiaojun, the deputy chief soldier, also congratulated Emperor Tianshun on "eradicating traitors" and maintaining the dynasty.

In private, everyone also wrote letters to Liu Juntao, expressing their worries about Liu Juntao's assassination and Liu Juntao's joy in saving the day.

Liu Juntao also wrote back one by one to express his gratitude.
