As soon as Zhou Zheng spoke, he naturally moved quickly.

Giving orders, especially the middle decrees, is not a simple matter, Yao Tongshun shuttles back and forth in the cabinet compound and the palace, and he can't hide it from everyone.

Yao Tongshun hasn't finished running yet, and Zhou Yanru knows about it.

Fan Wenjing stood in front of Zhou Yanru's desk and said, "My lord, I have to say that the trick of conquering Xibo is really clever, and it is better to use it than anyone who comes forward, ordered by the emperor." ”

The emperor issued an order and reprimanded the hundred officials, what else could the hundred officials say? If you really want to slander you, that is, there is no king and no father! In the strict etiquette and fastidious now, that is looking for death!

Zhou Yanru had a calm face and said: "First, I ask to deal with those traitors as soon as possible, this opening of the floodgates, I don't know how many people will die and how many people will be involved." The second way is to correct the name of the law, and in the future, no one will openly oppose it. ”

Fan Wenjing didn't seem to react a little, and said: "This move to conquer Xibo is indeed very clever, and he blocked the mouths of the whole world with two holy decrees, and tomorrow will be a good start." ”

Zhou Yanru glanced at him and said, "Next year, what will we do?" ”

Fan Wenjing was stunned, and was about to open his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Yes, this reform and innovation were all proposed by Zhou Zhengyi, and they were all led by Zhou Zhengyi, so what should they do as the first and second departments?

Participate in the reform of the law together, of course not. But if they don't participate, they always have to come up with more things so that they won't be marginalized by Zhou Zhengyi.

Fan Wenjing thought for a while and said, "My lord, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Yanru's eyes flashed and said, "Let's take a look first." ”

Fan Wenjing looked at Zhou Yanru's expression, his heart moved slightly, and he sighed secretly.

He probably understood that Zhou Yanru was going to sit and watch the change, if the change was successful, he would be the first assistant, and he would naturally be able to pick peaches easily, if the change was not successful, he could also use the name of the first assistant to bring the great momentum and ask Zhou Zheng for the blame!

Li Banghua, Yang Sichang and others were also in the cabinet, and they soon learned the news, but they all pretended not to know.

Not long after, the first decree was issued to the three divisions, first reprimanding the rebels, and then ordering the three divisions to conclude the reverse case before the yuan change next year.

The heads of the three divisions, Zhang Sizhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the Zuodu Yu Shi Ma Shiying of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Kou Huaiyi, the secretary of the Dali Temple, received the decree, so they posted their own posts and sent a newspaper, preparing to complete the reverse case within half a month.

This matter seems to be upright and deserved, but the rebellion in this, most of the people are scholars, and they are in high positions, and they are inextricably linked with too many people, how can it be so easy to end?

The second way is to reprimand those who prevent the change of the law, and the holy decree implicates him in the reverse case, either explicitly or implicitly, and orders the three divisions, Dongchang, and Jinyi Wei to strictly investigate and deal with them, and would rather kill the mistake than let it go.

As soon as these two wills came out, the boiling momentum in the capital slowly stopped, like a leaked ball.

In the Criminal Department, Liu Zongzhou, who was being detained, heard the two wills, and his expression seemed to cry and laugh.

With this will, what else can he say? What can be done?

The same is true of 'Erzhang' and Fushe, who are full of anger in their hearts, but they are helpless for a while.

It can't be that just after the decree is given, they collectively oppose it, so what has happened? Who is not a rebel and a thief? Isn't it in a hurry to give someone a handle?

As a result, there was a brief lull in the capital.

Zhou Zheng's people, taking this opportunity, continued to exert their strength, and threw out the things they had prepared for a long time, one by one.

The first is that the three divisions tried the 'vassal king's reverse case', convicting sixteen princes, three were convicted, and the rest were imprisoned.

Then, the holy decree was issued, and the sixteen clans were cut off from the throne and confiscated the royal palace and all assets.

At the same time, he praised Tang Wang and others for their 'general knowledge', accepted their donations, and arranged good fields and beautiful houses for them in Beijing.

Therefore, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, on the sixth day of the twelfth month, the world's clans returned to Beijing, supported by the Zongren Mansion, and there was no domain.

Gao Hongtu's household department was busy, even if he had already prepared manpower and started doing it a long time ago, he was still in a hurry for a while.

The world's clans, occupying two or three tenths of the Ming Dynasty's fertile land, millions of hectares, belong to all parts of the country, where is it so easy to clean up, and the statistics are complete.

Gao Hongtu was subordinate to the household department and set up the 'Dutian Division' to manage these confiscated and the official fields already owned by the Ming Dynasty.

Then, the three divisions tried the cases involving the noble ministers, and these honorable ministers were more involved in the case, and there were countless stone hammers, so the punishment was clearer.

Some of these noble ministers have the same lifespan as the Ming clan, countless family properties, a few who were killed, and many who were exiled.

As a result, the Cabinet issued an edict to restrain the Honorable Ministers, abolishing the "hereditary succession" and replacing it with "three generations".

In the middle of December, the three divisions concentrated on the trial of those rebellious officials, which was the most, and speculation was what the scholars were best at, and there were countless people inside and outside the capital who surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Among them, 97 were sentenced to death, their homes were confiscated, 262 were sent to exile, 543 were ransomed for the people, and more than 1,200 others, large and small.

The next day, the palace issued an edict to severely reprimand the rebellion, and asked the world to show scholars as a warning. At the same time, the cabinet was ordered to seriously reflect on it, sum up the lessons, and prevent such things from happening again.

The Cabinet will soon issue a decree to seriously examine the system and make adjustments according to the current conditions, so as to eliminate maladministration and benefit the people.

Every day after that, the six ministries continued to issue a report of the palace, vowing to honor the holy order, and strive for reform and resolve the maladministration.

The Ministry of Officials said that it would sort out the system, strengthen the assessment and dispatch of officials, and strictly control the officials of the world, and never take advantage of any small opportunities.

The household department will admit that it has made some mistakes in the past, correct its powers, especially the loss of control in the localities, and comprehensively reflect on it, and will certainly make a profound review.

The Ministry of War held that the rebellion in the northwest was due to the lack of a military system, which led to the ineffective response of officers and soldiers, and said that it was studying a new military system and would report it to the cabinet before the end of the year.

The Ministry of Rites said that rebellion was a problem with the etiquette law, and the etiquette law should be revised.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs also have their own opinions, as if they have realized their mistakes and are about to make drastic reforms.

These newspapers were sent to all parts of the country, and the Ming people could see them.

Most of the uninformed people first looked at each other, and then were ecstatic, after so many years, the imperial court finally changed in earnest?

And those who know the inside story are worried, and their eyes are full of trance.

They all know that Zhou Zhengyi is preparing to change the law by sharpening his knife Huo Huo, and they also know some content, which are all touching the ancestral system and the country, and if they are not careful, they will cause a big disaster!

By now, 'changing the law' is the trend of the times, and no matter how much they block, they are all using their mantis arms as a car, and most people have chosen to remain silent.
