Chapter 778: Go with the market
Zhu Changluo was furious, and finally sat down slowly.
Angry is angry, for this situation, he still expected it in advance, but what surprised him was that the number would be so amazing!
Tens of millions of taels of silver are enough to cover three years of revenue from the treasury, what kind of shocking figure is this......
You know, this is just the number of more than 1,000 officials above the seventh grade in Gyeonggi who have voluntarily handed over, and it is already so huge, what if it is expanded to the whole country?
In the whole world, there are nearly 30,000 officials with more than seven grades registered in the Ministry of Officials, and more than eighty percent of them are local officials!
Zhu Changluo believes that the actions of these local officials will only be more serious and rampant than those of Gyeonggi officials, and that the amount of fat and ointment they have looted will be a completely unimaginable number.
How can the state rule this place without dying?
"And he ordered the household department to put all the silver in this account book into the treasury, and as for the people on this list, ......"
No matter how angry and angry you are, things always have to go on Taking a deep breath, Zhu Changluo said slowly.
A cabinet minister suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Changluo with some concern, you know, this is a serious national matter, related to the entire court, if they are willful and reckless today, they must stop it anyway, but fortunately, the next words of the Son of Heaven still let them breathe a sigh of relief.
"The people on the list, read the sincere repentance and forgiveness for the time being, but if there is a recurrence, the previous crime will be punished and dealt with severely!"
Zhu Changluo pressed himself and folded the list fiercely, he was afraid that if he looked at it again, he would not be able to help but cut down these corrupt officials, although he knew that he couldn't do this.
In this list, in fact, only the amount of officials from the third rank to the seventh rank is recorded, and then the list of ministers above the third rank and even the ministers of the ministry, even the ministers in front of him are not clear, they only know a total amount.
But Zhu Changluo knew that this list was written in great detail, and almost more than ninety percent of the officials in the court were involved, the amount was large and small, the big ones were hundreds of thousands of taels, and the small ones were thousands of taels.
What's more, there are also figures who have a pivotal position in the DPRK and China, and they can't easily move without permission......
So he can only suppress his anger and fulfill his promise!
As the emperor's credit, it is worth more than cutting these corrupt officials!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers at the bottom finally breathed a sigh of relief, you know, although the list of more than three grades was announced, but what they did themselves, they naturally had a bottom in their hearts, for their own future and fate, they never wanted the emperor to be so dizzy, fortunately, the Son of Heaven faced such a major matter, and he still had a sense of proportion......
"However, the will I have made will naturally not change, but some stubborn people should also be disposed of!"
Exhaled lightly, Zhu Changluo's words were clear.
After saying that, he waved his hand, and Chen Ju on the side immediately stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, this is the roster of preliminary comparison, please take a look at it!"
"No need, just show it to the gentlemen!"
Waving his hand in disgust, Zhu Changluo directly threw the song to a group of ministers.
Although everyone had a faint guess in their hearts, their hands couldn't help but shake when they took over the song.
The meaning of the words of the Son of Heaven is already clear, when he gave the decree, he did say that he was not to blame for the truthful surrender, but he also said that those who are stubborn and dare to deceive will be severely punished!
This roster is obviously those in the mouth of the Son of Heaven, who are trying to get through in vain......
"Fujian Provincial Imperial History You Yinglu, Jiangxi Provincial Imperial History King Meritorious, Military Department to Zhou Xueyi, Minister of Officials Zhang Zhujing, Guanglu Temple Master Du Hua Xian ......"
A long list of ministers, looking at the bottom of the group of ministers with dry mouths, although they had expected it in their hearts, but when this list was placed in front of them, they couldn't help but feel a sense of complexity in their hearts.
In this list, a total of eighty-two officials are recorded, and the highest official rank has reached the fourth rank, only one line away from touching the ranks of the third rank, and the lowest one also has seven ranks, involving six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Cabinet, the Five Temples, the Shuntian Mansion and other yamen, covering a wide range of areas, far beyond their expectations.
And more than half of them are officials related to Kedao!
"The minister dares to ask Your Majesty what he intends to do with the people on this list......"
Returning the roster in his hand to Chen Ju's hands, even the calm cabinet minister couldn't help but tremble, and after a while, the second assistant Zhenji was bold and stepped forward to ask.
"The family property is confiscated, and the people are deposed!"
Zhu Changluo spit out eight words lightly, without a trace of fireworks.
"Your Majesty...... With all due respect, there is only one name on this list, and there is no detailed amount and evidence of embezzlement, is it too hasty to deal with it? ”
On the other side, Elder Zhu Ge also cautiously stepped forward and said, in this list, there are many people from the Zhejiang Party......
However, the corners of Zhu Changluo's mouth flashed with a hint of ridicule, and he said lightly.
"Sloppy? Do you think I don't have any evidence in my hands? It's just enough to do such a thing that humiliates the court scholars, is it possible that I will send the evidence to the third division and announce it to the world after the trial? You can afford to lose this man, but I can't afford to lose it! ”
After a pause, Zhu Changluo said again.
"Of course, if someone thinks that I have handled it improperly, they can raise it, and I will ask Dali Temple to review the case, but when the time comes, I will order the three divisions to re-sentence, and it will not be as simple as dismissal and dismissal!"
Thinking of what the Son of Heaven did outside the Chengtian Gate a few days ago, Zhu Ge Lao suddenly put out the fire, was speechless, and didn't dare to speak more.
Zhu Geng knows his own affairs, and Zhu Geng knows in his heart that the roster of the Son of Heaven is already very restrained, at least there are no officials above the third grade among them, otherwise, it will really hurt the muscles and bones!
"Your Majesty, the number of officials who are dismissed on such a large scale at one time, for a while, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Ministry of Officials to fill it, can the Ministry of Officials be slightly loosened in the selection process, and there are still nearly 100 Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, can it be transferred to the Ministry and the Academy in advance, so as to maintain the operation of the imperial court without losing normalcy!"
Since the Son of Heaven has made up his mind, people can't be saved, so they can only think of another way, sighing, Shen Li took a step forward and said.
The loss of the Zhejiang Party is certain, so for the sake of today's plan, we can only cultivate reserve forces as soon as possible, you know, there are many people in the Hanlin Academy who belong to the Zhejiang Party, and the current situation is also an opportunity to cultivate them as soon as possible......
