On the morning of the second day after it was agreed to add cabinet ministers, the small court meeting of the Wenhua Hall was carried out as usual, but only Li Guowei was the cabinet minister in this small court meeting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although Xu Guangqi and Li Banghua have completed the two procedures of cabinet nomination and the emperor's approval, the courtiers' meeting has not yet begun, and unless the emperor summons them, the cabinet deliberations cannot be attended for the time being.

Of course, the first year of Chongzhen is coming soon, and the Ministry of Rites has to prepare for the emperor to change the Yuan Hall and worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, so there is no time to attend a meeting that has little to do. But today's Wenhua Hall is not only the emperor and Li Guoyi, when Zhu Daming arrived, in addition to Li Guowei in the palace, the ministers related to the investigation of the eunuch case were all present, such as Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Li Biao, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Liu Zongzhou, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, and Gong Yonggu, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Fang Zhenghua, the commander of Dongchang, were already waiting for the emperor.

When these people saw the emperor come in, they saluted one after another. After the ceremony, the first assistant and the ministers of the three legal divisions all sat down, and Gong Yonggu and Fang Zhenghua were considered the emperor's private individuals, and they could not be called ministers of the court, so they all stood and did not dare to sit down.

Seeing that the emperor was already in place, Li Guowei bowed down and took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, yesterday the minister has reported to Your Majesty the list of eunuchs deliberated by the Cabinet and the Three Law Divisions. ”

On the morning of the 15th, the imperial palace held a grand court meeting, then the Wenhua hall small court meeting, and then in the afternoon, Xu Guangqi and Li Banghua were summoned to discuss the matter, and stayed in Kunning Palace in the evening.

The first two people, Wei Zhongxian and Ke. The first rebel accomplice, Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Wu Chunfu and other five tigers and five biao, and nine Wei brothers, nephews, and grandchildren, Hakka prince Governor Hou Guoxing, and eunuchs Wang Tiqian, Li Yongzhen, Li Chaoqin, Liu Ruoyu and other 61 people, a total of 81 people.

The party attached to the head of the first class was beheaded, Cui Wensheng, Liu Zhixuan, Fengcheng Hou Li Chengzuo, Yangwu Hou Xue Lian and other 29 people.

The party attached to the head of the anti-inferior army raiders, Wei Guangwei, Yan Mingtai, Huo Weihua, Pan Ruzhen, Yang Weiyuan, Ruan Dacheng and other 33 people.

The party attached to the head of the rebellion and the second class of exiled to the border, the university scholars Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan, Zhang Ruitu, Shangshu Wang Yongguang, Shilang Lai Zongdao, the governor Huang Yuntai, the governor Li Jingbai and other 139 people.

The party attached to the head of the reverse reduction and other believers lost for three years to redeem for the people, Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai and other 64 people.

There are more than 150 relatives of Wei Zhongxian and internal officials and party affiliations. Four hundred and ninety-eight in total.

Zhu Daming saw the rows and rows of the names of the ministers who were identified as eunuchs, and he was relieved at the moment, some of them were known by himself in later lives, and some of them were only recognized after coming to this time and space, of course, there are many names that he has never seen in his previous life or in this life, but Zhu Daming does not plan to delve into it, and the people he hopes to be on it are already on it, which is enough.

Seeing this, Zhu Daming closed the fold, and then said to Li Guowei and others: "Qing and others have worked hard. Since this list was deliberated and decided by the Cabinet, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple, there is no need to change it. Nowadays, the people of the world hate the eunuch party to the bone, and the eunuch case should not be delayed for too long. However, before this list is made public to the world, Qing and others must not leak it, and the Criminal Department, Jinyiwei and Dongchang must also be responsible for the division of labor, and arrest all the people listed as soon as possible. Anyone who decides to have a house raided must first seal up and confiscate the family property to prevent the offender from hiding and transferring it in advance. ”

When everyone at the meeting heard the emperor say this, their hearts were all relieved. The emperor recognized this list, that is, he recognized their work, and it also showed that the investigation and handling of the eunuch case by the imperial court was basically over, and the court, civil and military officials, could also breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the emperor was addicted to copying his home, it was all carried out in the name of punishing the eunuchs, and now that the eunuch case has been decided, no matter how rich the others are, they don't have to worry about being suddenly accused of being eunuchs and being robbed and killed.

Since the execution of Wei Zhongxian, many famous eunuch figures have been killed, the world-famous five tigers and five biao, some were punished by the Ming Dynasty, and some committed suicide in fear of crime, even Cui Chengxiu, who had returned to his hometown, also got drunk in his hometown in Suzhou after hearing that the emperor had killed the eunuchs, and then hanged himself with his beloved concubine.

Others, whether it is Jinyiwei, Dongchang, or the 24 Yamen of the Inner Court, the Great Purge has been going on for two months, and now it has been basically cleaned up, and all of them are firmly under the control of the emperor. Including those eunuch figures such as former Shoufu and former cabinet ministers who have been in charge for many years, most of them have been arrested and imprisoned by Jinyi and health agencies in various places, and they are only missing after the Ming Zhengcanon sentence or beheaded, confiscated or exiled.

Of course, the crime is relatively light, such as Shi Fenglai, who was only convicted of being attached to the party because he was close to the servant, and the crime was only sentenced to three years, and he could atone for his crime with silver. Whether it was Ling Chi, beheading, confiscation, or exile, all family property was confiscated.

All the people who killed their heads and committed suicide before all confiscated their property, including gold and silver, houses, fields, and a large amount of grain, which enriched the emperor's inner treasury a lot, and exceeded 30 million taels before and after. This is also where Zhu Daming's confidence lies in daring to recruit displaced people, train new troops, purchase artillery, open iron mines, pay military salaries, and build fortified cities.

In addition, after the announcement of this list, Jin Yiwei can justifiably continue to raid the house, and the wealth obtained is estimated to be at least tens of millions, so that the finances of the imperial court will definitely have no problem until the second year of Chongzhen.

In the later generations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty Jiaqing period, there was a saying, called "He Shen falls, Jiaqing is full", only one He Shen was caught, and the emperor's inner government copied hundreds of millions of taels of wealth, which was enough for the Jiaqing Emperor to spend lavishly for many years, which shows how great the role of copying corrupt officials is.

After Li Guowei left with Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Li Biao, the Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate, and Liu Zongzhou, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, the commander of Jinyiwei, Gong Yonggu and Fang Zhenghua, the commander of Dongchang, hurried back to Yamen, held separate meetings to assign arrest targets, and deployed arrest tasks, and then a team of Jinyiwei or Dongchang spies riding fast horses went to various places, with the documents of the cabinet and the three law divisions, or directly arrested the target, or ordered the local Jinyiwei to arrest, in short, within a few days, inside and outside the Beijing Division, north and south of the Yangtze River, There was another bloody storm.

Although there are only 498 names on the list, behind each name is a family, and some even a large family. It is a minority who kill heads, but it is not a fraction of those who are confiscated or exiled.

Zhu Daming didn't pay too much attention to this, and he still said that sooner or later, he would have to pay it back sooner or later. In history, many eunuch celebrities finally escaped punishment, such as Ruan Dacheng, a big landlord in the south of the Yangtze River, and even when he went to the Hongguang court, he relied on bribes to become the minister of the court again.

This time, of course, I couldn't run, not only people, but also land and property. Gold and silver can be directly circulated, and land and property can also be sold and cultivated.

For Zhu Daming, the confiscated land in the south was mainly sold at low prices and sold directly to tenants, while the confiscated land in the north was mainly used to recruit people to reclaim land and concentrate on cultivating new high-yield crops.

As for the confiscated non-gold and silver property, it was also sold directly, and Founder not only supervised the East Factory, but also supervised the Baohe store. The so-called treasure and shop is the royal store, which sells the products produced by the imperial village and the things supervised by the palace. But now that the emperor has dedicated his imperial village, Baohedian must be transformed, and the goal of transformation is also very clear, Zhu Daming just wants to make the existing imperial store into a royal chain store in this era, and the emperor of Jingshi and Nandu has also worked part-time in the business of collecting taxes before, and of course it will not be allowed to do this in the future.

There are many businesses that the emperor can do, such as selling the treasures that the emperor stole from his home, such as acting as the eyes and ears of the East Factory inside and outside the Beijing Division and even the whole world. These are all businesses that can make a difference.

In this regard, Fangzhenghua is also very recognized, is making every effort to promote the layout, although there are no Huangzhuang in various places, but Huangdian has begun to openly or covertly enter the towns on the nine sides, as well as the thoroughfare of the north and south of the river, and even opened the store into the Liaodong city that Jianyu has occupied.
