Chapter 749: Be a man with eyes

Carefully calculated, Zhu Changluo has been on the throne for several months, but on the way to the government, it is still based on stability, and there are no major moves, the only commendable thing is to send Wang Yingjiao to Suzhou Mansion to try out a whip law.

In fact, Zhu Changluo didn't want to do it, but the new emperor ascended the throne, and the first step must be to stabilize his position.

Just imagine, just sending a messenger to try out the tax system in one place has been entangled in the court for so long, and it should be so difficult for a major event related to the entire court as the rule of officials to rectify it.

What's more, what Zhu Changluo wants is not as simple as simply changing a group of people in the officialdom, after Jiajing, the atmosphere of the imperial court gradually became extravagant, and the corruption of officials has been repeatedly banned, so that everyone is accustomed to it now, and it is not strange to say, it can be said that the wind of corruption has become a tumor in the Ming court, slowly eroding the entire Ming Dynasty.

Its biggest harm is not in the amount of corrupt silver, but in the hearts of the people, when everyone regards being an official to make money as a common thing or even a matter of course, then the Ming Dynasty will come to an end.

Since he wants to move, he must make a big move, not only to punish these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but more importantly, to completely reverse this bad trend and concept.

So naturally, as early as a long time ago, Zhu Changluo had carefully considered all aspects of how to start another set of plans, what the cabinet was worried about, what the courtiers were worried about.

Now that he has made a move, it naturally shows that he has already had a solution......

"It's ...... Presentation of love letters? ”

The first to get the book was the old Shoufu, Wang Xijue took a look, the words "Sin Minister Ye Xianggao" at the beginning were piercing, and he was surprised in his heart, Wang Xijue carefully read the whole book, but he didn't feel that his mouth was a little dry, and his heart was even more uncertain.

The song is not written for a long time, even if everyone reads it once, it doesn't take much time, but after reading it, everyone's thoughts are different, but the same thing is that Ye Xianggao's music is not expected by everyone.

Strictly speaking, this is a letter of please!

In this invitation, Ye Xianggao profoundly reviewed the various silver taels and gifts he had received over the years as an old minister of the Son of Heaven, although most of the time, he had never done convenience for people because of these things, but he still counted it clearly, and confessed his guilt, willing to donate all the money in his family to the treasury, and asked the emperor to depose his officials to correct his crimes!

The reason why Song Shu looks very long is because a detailed account book is attached to it, which is clearly written, Ye Xianggao's status has been rapidly improved since he got Zhu Changluo's green eyes to enter the palace, and the accounts of bribery and gifts add up to 110,000 taels of silver, which is still the result of the huge cost of various banquets and gatherings, I have to say, it is very smack-smacking.

But in the eyes of the cabinet ministers, this amount is not surprising, and each of them will not have less than this number in their mansions, which makes them feel unexpected, the Son of Heaven is so ruthless.

You don't have to think about it to know that behind this note must be the instruction of the Son of Heaven, and he treats his confidants and ministers like this, which shows how disgusted the Son of Heaven is for the corruption of officialdom, and it can be seen how resolute the Son of Heaven's attitude is to rectify the rule of officials this time......

"Now Ye Xianggao has closed his door, he is guilty of being in the house, his corruption is two silver, this morning I have sent Jinyi Wei to collect statistics, temporarily stored in the inner treasury, a total of 117,600 taels, as an old minister of the East Palace, I have taken such a bribe, I am heartbroken, you will come to discuss, how to deal with this bastard who accepts bribes!"

Everyone had complicated thoughts, but when they saw that the Son of Heaven had a heavy face, he looked like he hated iron and steel, and said hatefully.

The ministers were silent, all with complicated expressions, but no one spoke, Zhu Geng had the heart to speak, but before he got up, he was persuaded by Shen Li's eyes.

And Wang Xijue and Zhen Zhenji coincidentally set their sights on Li Tingji.

After the initial surprise and puzzlement, they now almost figured it out, no matter how ruthless the emperor is, he will not use his cronies and courtiers to open the knife, since this is the case, then the current appearance of the Son of Heaven is probably deliberately made to show them, in order to ask for a step down.

Since this is the case, then Li Tingji should naturally go up and hand over this step, and others may have the opposite effect!

"Your Majesty is angry, the old minister thinks that Ye Shilang is certainly wrong, but knowing that the mistake can improve the great Yan, Ye Shilang can donate silver to the treasury, proving that he has repentance in his heart, and this matter is not Ye Shilang alone, it is really a chaotic situation in the officialdom, and he has to follow the rules, and his fault may not all lie with Ye Shilang alone, Ye Shilang and His Majesty have been together for several years, and they have been loyal all the way since the time of the palace, and they will never give up, and they will not leave the heart of the country, which can not be covered up by a momentary mistake, so the ministers are brave, please let Your Majesty temporarily calm the anger of the thunder, and allow Ye Shilang to wear the crime and make meritorious service!"

At such a critical time, Li Ge Lao naturally would not drop the chain, got up with a heavy face, and said with tears in his eyes.

Sure enough, after finishing speaking, the Son of Heaven's face softened slightly, as if he remembered the difficulty of the blue wisps of the road at the beginning, and sighed.

"In the past, I lived in the palace with all the gentlemen, sent people under the fence, and was careful every step, but now I live in the court and hold a lot of power, but I have this matter, how can I not be heartbroken?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Ye Shilang's sin is forgivable!"

As soon as Zhu Changluo's words fell, Zhen Cifu stepped forward and spoke.

As a second-assistant lord who is interested in getting closer to the Son of Heaven, if by this time, he can't hear the voice of the Son of Heaven, he doesn't have to stay in the cabinet.

"Oh? Why? ”

Zhu Changluo frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty, the corruption of officialdom is rampant, this is the fault of the ministers, but the atmosphere has been established, it is difficult to pull out, Li Ge Lao also once said, it is difficult to follow the officialdom So, sometimes I have to follow the rules, this is the reason why the court atmosphere is not right, it is difficult to attribute it all to the fault of the individual, Your Majesty wants to rectify the atmosphere, but if the ministers are punished according to the law, I am afraid that the foundation of the court will be shaken, and the government will be chaotic. Those who dare to commit crimes again will be punished for several crimes, and those who are stubborn will be dealt with according to the law, so that it can not only show the benevolence of the emperor, but also clear the atmosphere of officialdom, which can be good! ”
