But it's useless to have a headache, since Emperor Chongzhen has already said that he wants Jinyiwei to participate, then Jinyiwei must be involved.

Although Emperor Chongzhen also said that Jinyiwei was only allowed to bring eyes, it was precisely because these guys only brought eyes and ears that they would report to Emperor Chongzhen when they went back......

It is precisely because of this that Fang Zhuangli and Chen Yuting are extremely messy.

But when the news of Jingcha spread, it was not only Fang Zhuangli and Chen Yuting who were messy.

All the officials of the entire Daming Jingshi were messy.

In the past, Jingcha was a process that almost meant the meaning.

In this process, there will definitely be corrupt people who will be found out, and there will definitely be those who are old enough to be "revived" to return to their hometowns, and some unlucky people will be demoted and transferred.

Of course, there will also be some talents who are "discovered" and thus promoted.

In the process, the bigwigs in charge of Jingcha will get a good reputation—at least among Shilin.

But the previous emperors were not as shameless as Emperor Chongzhen.

The previous emperors at most secretly sent Jinyi Guards to investigate, and even if they knew, whether it was for the sake of the court's face or for other reasons, these emperors would choose to withhold it.

But Emperor Chongzhen was different.

This kind of typical shameless emperor is in history except for the early emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, such as Liu Bang, such as Liu Qi, and Liu Che.

Needless to say, Liu Bang took off his Confucian hat and urinated in public.

Liu Qi is also a big bull, with the name of an imperial brother, he fooled Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and the rebellious princes of the Seven Kingdoms to death, but after the rebellion of the Seven Kings was calmed down, Liu Qi seemed to have amnesia and forgot about the emperor's brother.

The last Liu Che is even better, a four-year-old child can actually say such a thing as Jinwu Zangjiao.

It's just that after he ascended the throne and became the emperor, even if he was almost abolished by the Empress Dowager Dou during the new policy of Jianyuan, he relied on the protection of his aunt, Princess Tao Chang - Gillian's mother, to retain the throne.

After that, all the emperors of the Central Plains have never been so shameless.

However, such an emperor appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

The swaggering reuse of factory guards fooled the vassal kings into replacing their fiefdoms and letting their horses catch slaves.

In short, do whatever you want.

And now it's finally starting to attack Kyocha.

The most important thing is that Emperor Chongzhen also tied up the cabinet and the bigwigs of the six ministries through such a distant pie as an overseas fief.

The current situation is that officials of all sizes in the capital are holding gifts all over the world, but they can't find a door all over the world.

Whether it is the cabinet or the bigwigs of the six ministries, one is counted as one, the gifts are not accepted, and no one is seen, usually the housekeeper in the house brings out a sentence: "It's good to do it yourself." ”

If you ask further, you just can't ask anything.

Except for those officials who really have confidence in their hearts or simply break the jar, the remaining part of the people who have no confidence in their hearts, but are unwilling to lose, have begun to act in tandem.

However, this is exactly what Emperor Chongzhen is looking forward to - only when the water is muddy can it be fished.

Looking at Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng, who were standing down, Emperor Chongzhen knocked on the table and said, "Let them go." After going back, inform Wei Liangqing, you and the three of you will prepare the Jinyi Guard, and go directly to my instructions tomorrow. ”

After Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng bowed, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and ordered the two to retreat, and he also turned back to the harem.

When it came to the next day's court meeting, looking at the court hall where a large number of people were missing, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "What about people? Where have you gone? ”

The scholar of the ministry came out with a strange face and said: "Your Majesty, there are different numbers of colleagues in each ministry to resign. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Hand over their resignations to me." ”

After someone got the resignation from the ministry, Emperor Chongzhen looked at it one by one.

After reading more than a dozen letters, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly smiled and said, "Imperial History Governor Cao Yubian resigns?"

Governor Shuntian right capital Yushi Wang should resign?

The military department squire Shen Yongmao resigned? ”

After sneering, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Who else has not had time to report their resignation?" Well? ”

Most of the rest of the court are villains who are called "eunuchs" and "traitors", who will jump out at this time to find unhappiness?

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and also felt that his temper was unreasonable.

After sneering, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Since you resign, then you will resign." Xu Xianchun, where is Tian Ergeng? ”

Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng bowed down and said, "The minister is here." ”

Emperor Chongzhen swept dozens of recitals on the imperial case to the ground and said: "Take people by name, and all of them will be sent to prison pending trial." After the inspection, the innocent were acquitted, and the guilty were handed over to the judge. ”

Fang Zhuangli rushed out of the class before Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng should be and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible." Now just in the capital, there are dozens of nearly 100 officials who have resigned, if it is expanded to the Ming Dynasty, how many should there be?

The minister thought that the only way to do this was to let these officials return, instead of arresting these many officials at one time, otherwise the government and the opposition would be shaken, and I was afraid that the world would be uneasy. ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "If you arrest it, it's all a habitual stinky problem, who gave them the courage to play this kind of non-resistance resistance with me?" ”

Seeing that Fang Zhuangli still wanted to speak, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted: "The officials have worked hard during this time, and they have given away all the official bodies of these bastards, and then selected the competent ones from the six walking jinshi to be released as county officials."

Competent county officials are promoted to state officials, state officials are promoted to the level of envoys, and those at the level of political envoys are promoted to officials in various ministries.

As for these bastards......"

After a pause, Emperor Chongzhen sneered again: "Wang Chengen, the intention is to be made." ”

After Wang Chengen bowed down, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the music on the ground and said: "His people are sent to prison for trial, and those who are officials in the nine clans are all dismissed, and those who are officials are not allowed to be officials within three generations, and those who are students of the sect are demoted to one level." The master was fined for half a year. ”

After Wang Chengen sorted out all the concertans on the ground, and wrote down all the names, he ordered the little eunuch to give these concertos to Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng.

After Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng went out to get people, Emperor Chongzhen then sneered: "Those who hold official positions are also public weapons." Treat public instruments as child's play, do it if you want to be an official, and once you are dissatisfied, you want to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, who taught him a bastard thing? ”

In less than a day, the entire capital was ridden around by Jinyi Weiti, causing a big scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Cao Yubian was chatting with Wang Yingzhi in the study at this time.

Wang Yingyun smiled and said to Cao Yubian: "Your Majesty is very popular, and he is also an upright man, but he still underestimates the scholars in the world. ”

Cao Yubian sneered: "Mencius said: "The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. ”

Now that His Majesty is reusing the factory guards, and treating us and other righteous people and gentlemen as eunuchs and villains, isn't it in response to what Yasheng said that the monarch treats his ministers like mustard?

In the former Song Dynasty, Su Bachelor's "Fan Zeng's Treatise" also had clouds, and if you cooperate, you will stay, and if you don't, you will go.

If today's son is unreasonable, we should retreat to the rivers and lakes and worry about it. ”

It's just that Cao Yubian's words just fell, but a voice came from outside the door: "You don't have to worry about Your Majesty from the distance of the rivers and lakes, you still have to go to the edict to worry about yourself!" ”

Cao Yubian and Wang Yingzhi's faces suddenly changed greatly.

As soon as the words outside the door fell, I heard the door of the study creak and was pushed open, and Xu Xianchun walked in with a folding fan.

Cao Yubian said angrily: "Eagle dog! I'm already old, and I'm going to be put in prison? What is the law of the land? ”

Xu Xianchun felt that he didn't have any need to deal with a dying person, and sneered: "Since the two of you are together, it saves Xu a lot of effort, two, please?" ”

Cao Yubian and Wang Yingzhi snorted coldly, but they didn't take it too seriously, and went out with the brocade guards brought by Xu Xianchun.

It was only when they arrived in the courtyard and saw that the relatives and subordinates had been driven to one place, and seals began to be affixed to each room, that Cao Yubian and Wang Yingzhi really realized that Emperor Chongzhen must have been ruthless.

But thinking about the resignation letter handed in by dozens of colleagues this time, the two of them felt confident again.

Xu Xianchun felt amused when he saw the two of them looking calm, but he didn't say anything, just waved his hand and ordered the two to be escorted to the edict prison, and then took the other brocade guards to the next house.

Before noon, the cells in the prison were basically full of these ministers and their families.

After the people who handed in the resignation together gathered in the cell, Cao Yubian's face changed again and again and said in a low voice: "You have all been taken to the Imperial Prison? What is the Son's intention today? ”

Before anyone else could answer, the jailer outside the cell door suddenly shouted, "Silence! If you dare to make a noise, you will be whipped ten lashes per person! ”

Cao Yubian said angrily: "Even if we are imprisoned, we are still the officials of the imperial court, and your little jailer dares to abuse lynching?" ”

When the jailer heard this, he sneered, took out the whip and dipped it in salt water, and after opening the cell door, he slashed his head and face towards Cao Yubian.

The whip used by the Jinyi guard for execution was the same as the whip used in the former Sui period, with barbs on it.

As soon as the whip went down, in addition to the clothes being torn out, even the skin and flesh on the body were also taken out of small eyes one by one.

What's even worse is that the jailer is also stained with salt water - salt water enters the skin, which is simply more painful.

That hot feeling, too beautiful to describe in words.

Cao Yubian was whipped and rolled on the ground, wailing constantly, but none of the people next to him dared to come over.

After ten lashes, the jailer smiled and said, "If you don't do your mother's resignation, what are you talking about with Lao Tzu?" Besides, there are more court officials who died in the edict prison, and you are not one of them. ”

It's just that after finishing speaking, the jailer sneered again: "Lord Cao, these colleagues are really angry, and no one has helped you. Hehe, good colleague, it's ...... righteous."

With that, the jailer laughed maniacally and walked out of the cell.

At this time, a group of officials next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Yubian up, and gathered around them to whisper and ask for warmth, denouncing the cruelty of the jailer.

Although Cao Yubian's body was extremely painful, his heart was already cold and transparent.

There were ten full whips, and none of these people next to them said anything to help, or stretched out their hands to help them, but only came over to offer some courtesy after they were pumped.

It's no wonder that his own family, that Cao Xuegan, said the sentence "Every righteous person slaughters dogs, and most of them are scholars" when he decided the case in the second year of the Apocalypse.

Cao Yubian straightened the clothes on his body that had almost become strips of cloth, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's good to be patient with this little bit." ”

Although he said it hard, the corners of his mouth that couldn't help twitching still betrayed the degree of pain Cao Yubian suffered at this time.

However, the physical blow was only the first blow, and the second mental blow came to the eyes of this group of people after a while.

The person who came was two small eunuchs in the palace, one of whom carried a tray with a rolled-up decree on it.

The little eunuch who came empty-handed first shouted at the top of his voice: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

After shouting, regardless of whether the people in the prison knelt down to receive the decree, he directly took the holy decree from the tray, opened it and read in a sharp voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the system says: Cao Yubian, the imperial historian of the imperial history of the imperial capital, and other ninety-eight people, regard the official position of the imperial court as nothing, and threaten each other with resignation at every turn, and deeply disrespectful.

However, God has the virtue of a good life, and I can't bear to give the law to Zhuqing.

He ordered Cao Yubian and other 98 people to be temporarily imprisoned, and after the Beijing inspection, the innocent were released and the guilty were punished.

However, he regarded his official position as child's play, and he lost hope.

He ordered Cao Yubian and other 98 people to stop regardless of whether they were guilty or not. Among the nine clans, all the officials are gone.

He is not allowed to be an official in the imperial examination within three generations, and those who are disciples and students are officials are demoted to one level. The master was fined for half a year.

Chin this! ”

After the little eunuch finished reading the holy decree, Cao Yubian and the others' faces were already gray, and they could only bow down and thank them: "The sinners obey the order." ”

Cao Yubian and others never thought that Emperor Chongzhen really ignored the actions of himself and others to threaten each other with resignation, and directly took a root action for himself and others anyway.

The first is that all the people in the Nine Clans will hate themselves to death.

Then there are no officials in his three generations, and the resources he leaves behind will be used less and less.

As for the disciples, students, and teachers, I'm afraid that these people, who were originally proud of themselves, are all hating themselves for not dying at the moment?
