Chapter 1225: Investigation and Punishment Completed
But then he reacted: Isn't this a good thing to use as a trigger to get rid of them?
Yun Xi naturally prepared many means to deal with them, but although many powerful ministers in history have fallen on inconspicuous matters, a discerning person can see at a glance that this is the emperor or someone playing on the topic, and there will be nothing good to say in the notes of literati and ink writers. Although Yun Xi also knows that if you want to be a good emperor, you can't care about reputation, but it's better to have a suitable excuse or a suitable excuse.
If he had told me before the battle of Yiwu, I might have dealt with it at that time, but at that time I would never have implicated many people, just Zhang Quan, Cao Tai, and Sang Jing and the three of them in prison. In this way, Peng Qingzong only told me about this now, which is actually a good thing. Yun Xi thought.
"Peng Aiqing, you have done a good job in this matter, I want to reward you." Yun Hee agrees and decides to reward him one more time.
"The minister has no merit, how dare he be rewarded by His Majesty?" Peng Qingzong is not stupid, although he is blind to the situation in the capital, and no one gives him popular science, but he probably understands what happened today. He did not want to participate in this kind of high-level political struggle, and he did not dare to participate in it.
Yun Xi ignored him and said directly: "I plan to order you to run an errand in the General Staff. It's just that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is different from the previous Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and all the ministries within it are set up according to the six-ministry system, and the rank of the official position will be lower than that of you as a local commander. But that's not to say I don't value you. ”
"No matter what official position Your Majesty appoints a minister, it is a blessing from heaven." Peng Qingzong said again.
Yoon-hee was very satisfied with his attitude. He doesn't mind his ministers being a little grumpy, but you have to be really good at it. Peng Qingzong's current image in his eyes is a little capable, but not big enough, so his attitude must be respectful.
"I remember you're from Daning?" Yun Xi said again.
"Your Majesty, the ancestor of the minister was from Shandong, and after joining the army, he was assigned to Daning as a general, and then settled in Daning." Peng Qingzong replied.
"Since you are from Daning, and you have been a general in Daning, you must not have a very close old age in the capital. I ordered someone to arrange a public rental house for you, and then reward you with some household things. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor." Peng Qingzong hurriedly thanked him again.
Yun Xi nodded, said a few more words to him, and told him to step down.
In the days that followed, there were reports of the progress of the bribery case and the corruption case. At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple who were caught were interrogated not only about accepting bribes from the envoys of Fanguo, but about all the bribes they had received. The Ming Dynasty is a humane society, even if Yun Xi is very strict with large bribes, there are always omissions, and Jinyiwei and Zhensi may not report everything to the emperor.
Therefore, some small bribes, or in their own eyes, are not considered bribes, but can only be regarded as gifts for ordinary people. There are all kinds of things, even if they only start to check from the first year of Jianye, many people are enough to ask questions after the autumn. It also implicated a lot of people from other yamen.
Naturally, Yunxi can't put them all in jail. After all of them are imprisoned, the yamen, which are not very efficient, will be paralyzed, but he does not have the courage of Zhu Yuanzhang. In the Guo Huan case, Zhu Yuanzhang killed more than ninety percent of the officials of the six departments at one time, and there were only two people left in some yamen. Yun Xi neither had Zhu Yuanzhang's courage nor his enthusiasm for work like a model worker, so he picked and chose from the list reported by the Criminal Department, removed more than half, and arrested the rest. Fortunately, Shangshu Ru Yu of the Criminal Department also knew that he would not be arrested, and he was the only one who knew the list of reports, which did not cause much turmoil.
Yun Xi naturally wouldn't behead them all in late autumn. At this time, of course, all of them must be condemned to death in strict accordance with the "Da Ming Law", but after a few months, they will find a reason to pardon their capital crimes, and then exile them to the Han continent along with their families. Those who have separated from the family are lucky, and only their wives and children are implicated; If they have not yet been separated, the entire branch will be exiled.
The bribery case is also in full swing. Due to Zhang Quan's sudden defection, the case was quickly interrogated. Yun Xi convicted Xuanning Marquis Cao Tai and Hui Xian Bo Sang Jing of corruption and perversion of the law, abolished the title of the deceased, removed them from their official positions, and their sons and nephews were also removed from their official positions and demoted to commoners; Yongding Marquis Zhang Quan also committed corruption and perverted the law, but Yun Xi used his 'meritorious performance as a crime', although he also abolished the hereditary title and removed him from his official position, but his son and nephew retained his military position, which means that as long as his son has the ability, he can also be re-promoted by virtue of military merits.
After all, Zhang Yi is the founder of the country, as an emperor of a feudal dynasty seems too cold to maintain the rule is not a good thing, and his feelings are pitiful, Yun Xi issued a decree to abolish his hereditary title and remove him from his official position, but did not abolish the hereditary command of his third son Zhang Yumu, although the other sons and nephews are no hereditary, but they can also make a comeback with military merits.
Yun Xi also intends to make people publicize: The place with the most opportunities for meritorious service is the Han continent now, and the vassal king who is sealed in Han Zhou will not care about the mistakes made by someone in the past, and he will be appointed if he has the ability, and he will be rewarded if he has merit. Encourage their sons and nephews to go to Hanzhou.
The above four people have a noble status, and Yun Xi is not good at doing too much, but under them, he will not let go of the little shrimp implicated by the Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War of the Five Armies, and they are all sentenced to exile in Hanzhou.
When the news reached the army, sure enough, the generals were very disgusted with coveting the merits of others, most of them supported Yun Xi's approach, and a few who did not support it could not make waves; At this time, the military reform had not yet involved the middle and lower strata, and they did not oppose it, and stability was basically guaranteed in the army.
At the same time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to investigate and verify other violations of the law in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armed Forces, and found many cases. Yun Xi borrowed the newly discovered case to bring down Puding Hou, Chen Huan and others. Chen Huan is also the founder of the country, and Geng Bingwen, Zhang Yi and Cao Zhen are the only four surviving heroes of the Hongwu period who were crowned the lord of the world, Yunxi naturally has to take care of it, and Zhang Yi's disposal is the same; The others were similar to Cao Tai's disposal.
These cases are very complicated, and if they were ordinary, there would not be much to find out in three or five months; But this time, Yun Xi was well prepared, and the officials in charge of investigating the case were also very clear about the emperor's purpose, so it was less than half a month, and on the first day of the second month, the case was investigated, and the relevant human and material evidence was reported to the emperor, and the emperor quickly disposed of it. After the holy decree to abolish the hereditary titles of Chen Huan and others was issued, although the follow-up case was still being investigated, it was irrelevant, and for Yun Xi, this matter was basically dealt with.
