Chapter 54 begins with the purge

……

Liu Chao was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't dare to delay more. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Liu Chao has also tried hard to pat his ass. However, at that time, he was bent on purging the Qing Dynasty and working hard. In particular, the new emperor is ideologically inclined to the Qingliu party. So much so that Liu Chao's sense of crisis increased greatly, and he colluded with the devil by unscrupulous means, and took advantage of the new emperor's draft to fill the **, and inserted a demon girl who was proficient in all kinds of charms and [***] techniques into the show girl. Sure enough, with her extremely excellent charm, the new emperor was fascinated, and she was directly named a concubine after a night of spring breeze, and she was so fascinated that she couldn't extricate herself and ignored the government all day long. From time to time, the pillow wind made the new emperor gradually begin to trust the eunuchs.

However, somehow, the good times were only half a year. That concubine died mysteriously. The effect of the [***] technique has not dissipated, and the new emperor is not clear, but even more tyrannical. However, after the new emperor wrestled, he seemed to be a different person, and not only began to favor the queen. All kinds of behaviors are also incredible, sometimes absurd, sometimes shrewd. So much so that Liu Chao was worried every day, and he was afraid that the emperor would have the intention of cleaning up the eunuch party again and leaning on the Qingliu party.

But as the emperor often sent him Liu Chao to do things, he was extremely satisfied with it several times. And the emperor himself almost ignores the government and politics, especially the enthusiasm for women and alchemy, and the most important thing is that he is quite dissatisfied with the Qingliu party. This also allowed Liu Chao to blatantly use means to suppress the Qingliu Party, firstly, because he had the desire to suppress himself, and secondly, he also wanted to test the emperor's reaction from his suppressive behavior.

What made Liu Chao happy was that the emperor didn't care about his suppression of the Qingliu Party at all, and even he himself would find trouble with the Qingliu Party from time to time.

With countless thoughts turning in his heart, Liu Chao walked a little briskly to bring the show girls who were being trained to the Qianqing Palace. In the past two or three months, he has done several things for the emperor that even he himself is satisfied with. In addition, judging from the emperor's attitude today, Liu Chao thinks that it will not take much time to completely gain the emperor's trust. When he returned to the first emperor's dynasty, he was the chief eunuch of ceremonies.

Fuji Yu was still kneeling. Zhao Zhe didn't even raise his eyelids, and while drinking tea slowly, he picked out a novel book from the desk and looked at it beautifully. Seeing the highlights, I happily slapped the table. He sat comfortably in the dragon chair, and the poor ministers stood and waited without saying a word. Especially the Teng Yu, who seemed to be old, kept kneeling on the ground, as if to reflect his hard bones, he didn't move, and he refused to beg Zhao Zhe for mercy.

It's not that Zhao Zhe is not sympathetic to the elderly, it's just that this Teng Yu is really noisy, and today's things are just fine. As soon as he came out of the prison, he shouted that Han Huang had handled the case unfairly and wanted to overturn the case for Wei Minghua. As long as anyone with a little brains knows that although Wei Minghua's case was supervised by Han Huang, the real mastermind behind the scenes is the emperor. He is so loud, or he is too simple-minded. Or, I just want to fight against Zhao Zhe. No matter which possible surname it is, this kind of person is not suitable to stay in such an important position as the right capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace. What's more, if you indulge him, not only will he get worse. Among the courtiers, there are many older ones, and they all come to rely on the old and sell the old. How to eat raw?

In recent months, Zhao Zhe has been watching the battle between the eunuchs and the Qingliu party with a cold eye. And the secret fold of Jinyiwei is also the reaction, action, and behavior of every official one by one. Or even some secret private lives. All of them were presented in front of his eyes one by one. Zhao Zhe's life in the past few months seemed to be lazy and relaxed, but in private, he had already spent countless energy. In the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, when there was no one around. I often personally sort out the information in the secret compromise bit by bit. For those important figures in Da Zhao's politics, a form was listed for each. It not only has his life history, surname Gebing, relatives and friends, but also an analysis of his ability, the degree of integrity, the tendency of the party, and so on.

Not only the dozens of nearly 100 of the most important civil and military officials in Beijing, Zhao Zhe has spent countless nights helping each of them build a form that can be updated at any time. Even those middle-level civil and military officials who Zhao Zhe secretly instructed Jin Yiwei to discover and pay attention to from the middle-level officials, as long as Zhao Zhe screened and judged those who were capable from a large amount of information, and either kept to themselves, or just made a false agreement with the two parties, he selected more than 50 people and established a character file. And with Jin Yiwei's in-depth follow-up investigation of these more than 50 people, with the continuous information sent back, Zhao Zhe either deleted it from the list, or continued to follow it in red, until Zhao Zhe thought that he was qualified to enter the interview list, it was sealed separately. Up to now, the list of newcomers who are preparing for interviews similar to Zhao Zhe's establishment has exceeded 20, and most of these 20 are quite capable, but they are unwilling to join any party. If it's not really outstanding, it's because there are not many flaws that people can't grasp the handle. Under such a refusal to go along with the dirt, it must have been beaten to the bottom long ago.

Even Zhao Zhe was extremely hopeful for the more than 20 middle-level civil and military officials who could withstand the desperate investigation of countless brocade guards secretly but did not find many stains.

Of course, among the seventy or eighty people standing downward, they are by no means all good-for-nothing. If you pick and choose, you can also get a group of people who can use it. Before that, of course. It is still necessary to completely break up the two parties first. Even if he wanted to use the art of checks and balances, Zhao Zhe was willing to establish two new parties under his own laissez-faire and covert control. I don't want to use parties that are not under my full control.

Time passed little by little, and even Zhao Zhe was a little tired after sitting for a long time. yawned, beckoned Bauhinia and Peony to come over, one helped him pinch his shoulders, and the other helped him beat his legs. He was comfortably half-lying and half-leaning in the dragon chair, drowsy. Pity those courtiers, even in the weather that has not yet arrived in March, they are standing or kneeling, making their legs numb, and their foreheads are dripping with sweat.

Just when there were several ministers who were weak and wanted to be cheeky and ask the emperor for a seat. The two imperial guards, one of them pushed Ding Yu, and the other was holding a large stack of heavy account books. Advance with retribution.

Zhao Zhe's sleepy expression seemed to be a little more awake. Summoned the little tiger and asked them to bring some benches and place them in the hall. Zhao Zhe waved his hand lazily and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, who is tired of standing." Let's go sit down for a while. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Several ministers who really couldn't stand up thanked them one after another, and hurriedly sat down on the bench. Seeing that someone sat down first, some ministers who followed suit sat down one after another. In a short time, more than twenty ministers sat down, either pale or out of breath.

Zhao Zhe asked the guards to carry the exaggerated number of account books to the desk, and greeted Shen Yijun with a smile: "Shen Aiqing came to my side and accompanied me to check these account books." He turned to the courtiers and smiled: "Don't be polite, you Aiqing, if you are tired of standing." Feel free to sit. ”

Although Shen Yijun was also standing profusely sweating, he did not go to the bench to sit down. Hearing the emperor's summons, he was overjoyed and trotted all the way over.
