However, in the end, Jia Xu was also more and more shocked, and he was already hesitating whether to check or not.

Because, more and more officials are involved, and there are already more than a dozen high-ranking officials.

Of course, the so-called involvement here is not the simple case of Huang Chengzong.

Rather, it was brought out in parallel and crossed, and there were more than a dozen high-ranking officials, and if you count the officials at the bottom, there were more than 100.

With so many people, if they are all severely punished, I am afraid it will cause a shock in the court.

But these are not the issues that Jia Xu has to consider.

Jia Xu only investigated the case, and then reported the matter to the emperor.

As for how to deal with it in the end, and to what extent it will be handled, it will be decided by the emperor in the end.

However, from Jia Xu's point of view, it is better to only deal with the case of Huang Chengzong and not implicate so many officials.

As the old saying goes: when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.

The problem of officials' greed for ink has never been completely eradicated.

You can't expect everyone to be a saint.

As long as these officials have the ability to do practical things, there are some things that can actually turn a blind eye.

Of course, these are just what Jia Xu thinks in his heart.

And Jia Xu understands very well that today's saints are very different from those emperors in the past.

Today's saints are more assertive and have their own opinions on many matters.

……

It took Jia Xu three days to complete the entire case.

The whole case may seem complicated and cumbersome, but it depends on who will hear it.

If Jia Xu comes to try it, there is basically no need for interrogation, and the details of the case are already known.

What's more, Mrs. Huang has already received the guidance of the concubine, and instead of concealing it in the slightest, she took the initiative to explain all her guilt clearly.

Although the Huang family is a descendant, all of them were wiped out.

But after the mother's intercession, the emperor was extrajudicial and allowed them to leave an heir, and Mrs. Huang was infinitely grateful.

These cases were not tried in public, but in secret.

Because although Jia Xu is very good at controlling people's hearts, he really can't figure out what the emperor thinks in his heart, so he has to keep a low profile.

Once the emperor is unwilling to disclose the facts of the case, but tries it himself with great fanfare and spreads the facts of the case, then the fun will be great.

After the trial was completed, Jia Xu wrote the original case in the book and submitted it to the emperor for review.

After reading the case, Lu Bu nodded slightly, his face did not show a look of rage, as if he had expected it in his heart.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Jia Xu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the emperor's expression, it seems that he intends to downplay this matter, which should also be the best result!

Unexpectedly, the next moment, I heard Lu Bu say: "Wenhe, this case will be discussed directly in the next morning." ”

What the?

Isn't the emperor going to downplay it?

Why do you want to put it in the court again?

Once it is put in the court, it will definitely be known to everyone, and there will be no way to end it at that time?

Suddenly, Jia Xu was taken aback, he had already guessed the emperor's thoughts.

Could it be that the emperor didn't think about downplaying it at all?

Thinking of this, Jia Xu took a deep breath, and then said: "Your Majesty, Weichen understands, Weichen will do it." ”

……

At the next time in the early court, Jia Xu introduced the entire case on the top of the main hall.

This case is well-informed, but there has been a vague speculation.

Of course, there are also some officials who are surprised when they learn the details of the case for the first time.

You know, there are five people here, and they were originally the officials who should have appeared in this early dynasty.

Now, they have all been secretly taken down, invited to tea, and awaited the outcome of the trial.

Now that the emperor has actually made the case public, how is this case going to be handled?

For a while, the ministers above the hall suddenly whispered.

"Silence!"

Slapping the table, Lu Bu couldn't help asking: "This case is really shocking, it really hurts me!" I really didn't expect that it had only been a few years? My Dahua has such a bad case, and my Dahua officials have actually become corrupt and degenerate to such a degree! ”

"Now that the facts of the case have come to light, I don't know what you Aiqing think, how to close this case? I also ask you to express your opinions. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, there was silence in the hall for a long time.

These ministers, all of whom are human beings, can hear that the emperor seems to be going to severely punish these officials.

However, there are too many people.

If so many officials are dealt with at once, it will not only cause turmoil in the court, but also make the people uneasy.

For the sake of stability, this kind of thing is better to handle it safely.

A few leaders will be punished, and the remaining officials can be diluted after the fact, such as distribution or dismissal.

After a long time, an official finally spoke.

First of all, he stood on the moral plane with a strong voice and fiercely criticized these officials involved in the case.

Then he began to expound the arguments from the perspective of national stability and social tranquility.

The final conclusion is that only the first evil should be eliminated and the remaining evil should be spared.

After this official, the remaining courtiers complied.

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but be furious, and couldn't help but slap the table and said sharply: "Could it be that you all collude with these corrupt officials and corrupt officials?" ”

This sentence was too damaging, so the courtiers in the hall fell silent all of a sudden.

Lu Bu couldn't help but say murderously: "These people are really hateful! If you don't punish severely, it's not enough to make people angry! If you don't punish severely, it's not enough to make the officials fearful! Therefore, I decided to peel the skin and fill the grass for the first evil, and put it at the door of the main hall to play a deterrent effect! ”

Rumble!

The emperor's words were like a thunderbolt, and the Manchu civil and military almost urinated.

What the?

The emperor actually wants to peel the skin and fill the grass? Do you want to put it at the door of the main hall?

This, this, this is inevitably sensational, right?

What kind of system is it so cruel?

Since ancient times, only those tyrannical monarchs would do such cruel things.

Those holy kings and benevolent monarchs have always been forgiving, how could they have done such things?

As a result, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty worked hard to dissuade them, and some ministers even did not hesitate to threaten each other with death.

In order to make the emperor change his mind and not do such a brutal thing.

But Lu Bu was not moved at all, and said in a cold voice: "My method is not for you to discuss, but for you to implement!" Make an order, three days later, at the entrance of Nanjing City, the Ming canonical punishment, law enforcement in public, there must be no mistake! ”

Lu Bu Chrysostom said, as soon as Chrysostom opened, the courtiers below couldn't help but shut up obediently.

No way, the emperor is too strong.

As long as it is something that the emperor approves, the courtiers have no right to veto it at all.
