"Zhou Bi and Lei Yanzuo must be executed, in order to set the record straight, and strictly enforce discipline, these people will make waves when they make a decision, running and lobbying, especially active, after the situation of the court is stable, they have never offered a policy to the country, and they have no credit to the court, and the crime is unforgivable!"

"Then what to do with Chen Zhenhui and Huang Zongxi, as well as Gao Hongtu, these people have a high reputation in Jiangnan?"

Among the Jinyi Guard, Cao Bianjiao, Shi Kefa and other cabinet ministers, as well as the main officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, are there, in order to convict the matter, the interrogation has lasted for three days, Shi Kefa changed the norm, and passed all the people through the hall with lightning speed, and the rest of Cao Bianjiao has similar meaning to him, no longer implicated, as long as he holds a group of people led by them, and the rest of the small shrimps, let them go!

"Can a high reputation make waves and endanger the country's society? I suggest that it be dealt with severely, and it must be done to make an example of one hundred people, when Wei Zhongxian was in the case, didn't the first emperor do this, can't it be like this now? Shi Bangyao said very resolutely, he didn't want to let go of these people, both public and private.

Yuan Jixian continued to argue at the moment: "The case of Wei Zhongxian, when the first emperor was appointed, although it was very happy, but the result was also endless, and how many people were involved later, many people were not eunuchs, but they were criticized and framed as eunuchs, resulting in the country for several years, officials were busy with self-preservation or fighting, and did not do the affairs of the court, do you want to repeat the old things?" ”

"What the two adults said is reasonable, if you don't deal with it severely, you can't be vigilant against the courtiers, but if the punishment is too heavy, and I'm afraid that everyone is in danger, after all, they are all working in the imperial court, and they are more or less connected, if this really implicates, it will not only be more than 30 people now, but only more than 100 people at that time, or even more than 200!" Chen Zizhuang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also stood up at the moment to resolve the differences between the two people.

"What Chen Shangshu said is reasonable, don't get involved in this matter, the most important thing in the court at the moment is to stabilize the overall situation, the court is uneasy, no matter what you do, there will be obstacles, we don't always think about the present, the horizon should be wider, it is easy to execute these people, can it really play a role in warning the courtiers? Think about the great Ming law set by the great grandfather, all my Ming officials, embezzlement up to sixty taels will be beheaded to show the public, peel the skin and eat grass, in order to set an example, but the corruption has been curbed, is there still someone who commits crimes against the wind, without any shame, this is generally still the drawbacks of the system, lack of supervision effect, for the government of the locality, the county has a county order, the government has a prefect, the province has a governor, there is no person around the supervision, how can it be prevented, I think it will end here! ”

"What does the general mean to deal with?" Shi Kefa asked, he has already done everything he should do, how to decide now, or Cao Bianjiao has to speak, who makes the emperor trust him the most.

Cao Bianjiao immediately picked up the list in his hand, and after reading it, he said: "The people involved in the case, all the family property was confiscated, Zhou Bi, Lei Yanzuo, Tu Guobao, Dai Zhong and other seven people were sentenced to death, Gao Hongtu, Huang Zongxi, Chen Zhenhui and other eighteen people were exiled to Guangxi and Guizhou, I have asked the emperor for instructions, let them make meritorious contributions, they have caused so much trouble to the imperial court, their crimes can be dealt with lightly, but there must be action to forgive their crimes, I mean to settle them in Liuzhou, Tianzhou, Anshun Prefecture These poor places, Let them educate the people there, preach education, and do something useful for the court, this time they did something wrong, they are ghosts, but they can be saved if their conscience still exists, after all, they are all people who read poetry and books, especially Huang Zongxi, who is good at Western learning, it is a pity to die, let them wear their sins and forgive their sins! The rest of the people, reduced to commoners, moved them to the land of southern Gansu, where they could not live anymore, went to southern Gansu, self-reliance, and reflected on where the sage books they had read for many years had gone. ”

"The general is really a benevolent man, I can't wait! Death is probably the most liberating thing for them at the moment, and living to reflect on their sins is the most severe punishment, I agree. Shi Bangyao echoed, everyone knew that he was close to Cao Bianjiao, so he would naturally help Cao Bianjiao speak, but such an ending was undoubtedly decent.

"There is one more person to deal with, general, it is Hou Fangyu, this person is still with Zuo Liangyu, after hearing that this guy was rejected by Zuo Liangyu, he still did not give up, and made waves there, bewitching the people around Zuo Liangyu, Hou Sui is in Nanjing at the moment, he has been taken into custody, and he denied his son's affairs, but Hou Fangyu is undoubtedly a character like Zhou Bi and Lei Yanzuo, and he can't be spared!"

Shi Kefa also opened his mouth and said, what he has been worried about is the same as Cao Bianjiao, just before the meeting, he also discussed this matter with Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Liangyu can never be opposed, as far as the court is concerned, as long as Zuo Liangyu does not rebel, the vitality of the court will not be too damaged, once he reverses, it is undoubtedly a matter of relatives and enemies.

"Brother Xian's words are reasonable, this person is unforgivable, when he sent a letter to Zuo Liangyu, let him send someone to arrest Hou Fangyu and escort him into Beijing, although Zuo Liangyu is a martial artist, a little unruly, but I believe that he can distinguish the overall situation, I have sent someone to dissuade him, as for Hou Fangyu, the crime is not forgiven, it should be a death sentence, but Hou Sui Hou lived in seclusion in Nanjing, and he was previously guilty of defeat in the previous dynasty, but now the court is a new dynasty, or forgive him, Brother Xian, you might as well visit and tell Hou Sui that his son has committed a crime, But it won't implicate him, but let him lose the idea of a career, I am going to open a library in Changsha, ask him if he is willing to take care of it, not an official position of the imperial court, nor my staff, it is obligatory, give him a peaceful old age, he is not only Hou Fangyu has a son, don't blame the court for being ruthless, it is his son who is really interested in interests. Cao Bianjiao said, Hou Sui is guilty, that is a matter of the previous dynasty, and he doesn't plan to investigate it deeply, but he can't have a chance to enter the government again, after all, what their father and son are doing is really out of the way of sages, presumably Hou Sui will not lick his face and enter the office.

"Alright! I'll get back to it! After thinking about it, Shi Kefa also agreed with Cao Bianjiao's meaning, such an ending is very good, after all, Cao Bianjiao did not kill on a large scale, he did it in moderation, and pleaded with the offender, you must know that this is the capital crime of the nine clans!

"When I just talked about supervision, I have a proposal, led by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, set up supervision officials in rotation in each state capital, supervise and supervise the way of government of the officials below, each state government sends two people, once a year, and at the same time, the Ministry of Officials will also send people to inspect the state capitals and counties from time to time, and cooperate with the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Officials who engage in favoritism and malpractice, dismissal and investigation, the assessment of the Ministry of Officials used to be based on morality, diligence, ability, performance and the physical condition of the officials for examination and screening, this law is not comprehensive, and some need to be added, let's discuss it with the Ministry of Officials! ”

"Then let's do it, I'll go and draft the recital, and I'll submit it to the emperor today, and then I'll put on red and announce the world!" Shi Kefa said, and immediately got up and went to get busy.
