At the same time that Lord Wang was blocked at the door of his house by the Jinyi guard, the same thing happened in many mansions in the capital. Follow? Dream?. lā

Countless Jinyi guards and Dongchang Fanzi went to various prefectures, and when all the ministers felt that the rumors had passed, they all blocked them in their homes and began to raid their homes.

All of a sudden, there was a panic in the capital, and countless ministers who lacked confidence began to fidget, fearing that they would not be inexplicably arrested and imprisoned.

Of course, they will not sit still, but the Jinyi Wei and Dongchang Fanzi who were dispatched this time are clearly under the banner of the emperor, which is also something they dare not provoke.

So these grown-ups have only one way left, to find the thighs!

In the officialdom, all kinds of relationship networks work at this time, their official position is low, and the emperor can arrest him casually without any scruples, but the bigwigs in the court, the emperor will never move, right?

In officialdom, who doesn't have a backer!

So all of a sudden, the people in the capital found that there were countless sedan chairs and carriages on the originally wide street, which became crowded, and at the same time, the gatekeepers in the mansions of the various bigwigs were also soft-hearted, but to the disappointment of these officials, no matter which mansion they went, the gatekeeper replied to them with only one word.

My lord is not here, please come back later!

Of course, the porter didn't lie to them, the bigwigs in the court were indeed not there, and they were all summoned to the cabinet at the moment.

"Yuanfu, it's very chaotic outside, Your Majesty has grounded us here, what do you want to do?"

In fact, long before the last edict was issued, the qualified bigwigs in the court were summoned by the emperor and rushed to the palace, but when they entered the Chengtianmen, they found that a cadre of the cabinet had also been summoned, but according to the great eunuch Wang Gonggong of the inner court, the Son of Heaven was temporarily inconvenient and asked them to stay for a while.

This is nearly an hour, although the food and drink are waiting, but how can these bosses have the heart to enjoy, although they are not outside, but the news channels inside and outside the palace are not cut off, the five cities of the Terracotta Division and the Shuntian Mansion sent official documents one after another, which immediately made the scalp of a big man numb.

"Don't be impatient, the old man has already sent someone into the palace to inquire, and there will be a reply soon!"

In the face of the doubts of his colleagues, Wang Xijue was also helpless, today's matter, the cabinet has actually been prepared for a long time, unlike those naïve officials outside, the cabinet has long known that the emperor will not stop there, although he will not make a big move, but in the words of the emperor, the will has been prepared, how can there be a reason to take it back.

But this must be a joke, although the emperor issued such a decree, but after all, the border war is about to start, and the imperial court still has to focus on stability, so as early as when the last decree was prepared, the cabinet also prepared another edict to appease the courtiers.

It's just that what made Wang Xijue cry and laugh was that the will had already gone through the procedure and was sealed, but the emperor asked him to go back, saying that it was to be announced in front of all the ministers of the court.

Then, the bigwigs of the imperial court were summoned to the cabinet, and then, they were hung here, and the eunuchs who were originally expected to be announced did not even have a shadow.

However, the reason why Lao Shoufu felt crying and laughing instead of worrying was because he had already seen the intentions of the Son of Heaven......

The emperor is obviously a childish offender!

At this point, it is impossible for the emperor to hold on to the holy decree, because it is meaningless, although the means are changeable today, but there is never a promised thing that cannot be done, since he promised not to pursue those ministers who honestly handed over the money, even if he is angry in his heart, he will not do anything to them.

This can be seen from the Son of Heaven's generous act of using seals for the will to forgive them, you know, there is not only one copy of the holy decree, especially this kind of will that will reveal the will of the ministers, there are copies in the cabinet, and the seals and contents on the copies, and even the signatures of the cabinet elders are exactly the same.

So it's not something that the emperor can deny by holding on to the holy decree, and now this situation is obviously the emperor's childishness.

Wang Xijue could see that the Son of Heaven was very dissatisfied with the lack of punishment for these corrupt officials, but he had to do so because of the promise of funds and the opposition of the cabinet courtiers, and he was very unhappy, so he used this way to teach these courtiers a lesson.

Although you can't really punish them for anything, it is not a problem to make them anxious for a day and a half.

But......

Lao Shoufu looked up at the sky, it had been nearly an hour since Jinyiwei went to arrest people, presumably there was a mess outside, if the Son of Heaven didn't let go of his order, I was afraid that there would be a big mess.

You must know that this official inventory involves almost more than ninety percent of the officials in the capital, they are in chaos, and all kinds of government affairs of the imperial court will be suspended immediately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Eunuch Chen, the celebrant of ceremonies, has arrived!"

Just when everyone was in a hurry, the people in the middle school outside came in sweating profusely to report.

"Come in!"

As if they had seen a savior, the ministers hurriedly spoke.

In fact, without their invitation, Chen Ju had already walked to the door of the cabinet, gave a salute, and said.

"Gentlemen, please, our family has brought His Majesty's holy decree, please gentlemen accept the decree!"

"Wait for the order!"

Chen Ju didn't come alone, he was followed by a few small chamberlains, holding a plate in his hand, in which was placed the holy decree of the jade shaft and yellow silk, seeing this situation, the old adults finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly knelt down and said.

However, Eunuch Chen seemed to see their impatience, but slowly and leisurely, the people watching were anxious, picked up the holy decree from the plate behind the little eunuch behind him, and slowly unfolded it.

"Edict, I ordered the ministers to clear the family property, to hand over the corrupt silver, through the household department, the cabinet accounting, the capital to hand over a total of 1,100 silver, the collection of silver more than 26 million, shocking, horrifying, thousands of miles of embankment destroyed in the anthill, the ministers are the humerus of the country, corruption to this, I am heartbroken, but fortunately the ministers understand the righteousness, take the initiative to hand over the silver, I have a word before the edict, where the initiative to pay the silver two, the past is not to blame, hereby issued this edict to Ming the ministers, where the payment of silver two, the household has been registered and sealed, from today, The ministers are not allowed to attack the ministers of the capital for the crime of corruption and silver thirty years ago, and I will not sinners for this crime, but if after today, there are still those who dare to corrupt ** and loot the people's fat and ointment, and they will be convicted! In addition, the officials arrested by Jinyiwei and Dongchang are to verify the guilty and corrupt people, in order to save the dignity of the ministers, I will not disclose the facts of the case, all the family property will be confiscated, and the people will be deposed. Oh yes! ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

This should be regarded as the longest edict after the emperor succeeded to the throne, except for the edict when he ascended the throne, but after listening to it for a long time, the ministers did not feel impatient at all, but breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

With this edict, everything will be easy......

It was Chen Ju, who slowly closed the edict, helped up the ministers, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty still has an edict, saying that there is nothing to do, presumably the gentlemen outside are also in a hurry, and if you have something, you can go back first! The gentlemen of the cabinet, as well as Sun Tianguan of the Ministry of Officials, and Wan Zongxian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have worked hard to enter the palace with our family again, and Your Majesty will summon you! ”

The ministers smiled bitterly, the emperor was really straightforward, and he almost said that he was deliberately detaining them today, but it was okay, the mess outside was like that, and they really had to go back and clean up the situation quickly......
