Chapter 231: Divide the Cake
"Kill the traitor, kill the traitor, kill the traitor!"
At noon the next day, the dense crowd of people filled the public trial venue, when a group of Donglin Party bigwigs were escorted out by the wolf-like soldiers, some people raised their arms and shouted, followed by someone responded, and then more and more people followed the loud roar, thousands of voices gathered, resounding in the sky.
Qian Qianyi and other Donglin Party bigwigs were dumbfounded, this ...... What the hell is going on?
Some of the little people of the Donglin Party and Donglin fans mixed in the crowd wanted to rush forward and tell the bigwigs what had happened in the past few days, but they had the heart but were powerless, they couldn't squeeze through the dense people, and they couldn't break through the three human walls composed of officers and soldiers with loaded guns, even if they shouted loudly, it was useless, and they were drowned out by the angry roars of thousands of people.
"Are you convicted?"
Ruan Dacheng looked at the Donglin Party bigwigs who were forced to kneel down by the soldiers, and asked in a deep voice with a wrenched face, the Son of Heaven suddenly felt unwell after returning to the palace yesterday, and he was responsible for presiding over today's public trial meeting, which made him feel uncomfortable as a backstabber, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only hold on, which is the price he must pay as the first assistant of the cabinet.
"I'm not guilty."
"I'm ......"
The Donglin Party bigwigs were still dizzy, and they hadn't figured out the current situation for a while, but they wouldn't admit their guilt if they were killed, they asked to enter the palace to face the saints, and asked for evidence that convinced them.
Ruan Dacheng Yagen didn't want to give them any chance, completely ignored their protests, demands and curses, and declared their crimes on their own, and when the Donglin Party bigwigs were so shocked that they didn't react, they ordered the execution to be carried out immediately, not even caring about the hour.
"Ruan Dacheng, you bastard, you dare to kill us?"
"Bastard surnamed Ruan, you dare to kill us?"
A group of Donglin Party bigwigs didn't believe that the Son of Heaven dared to cut off their heads until they died, until the wolf-like officers and soldiers swarmed up and escorted them one by one to the improvised guillotine, which would make them really scared stupid, the emperor really wanted to cut off their heads.
The executioner's hand fell, blood burst out, a human head fell to the ground, and then the next ......
"If you kill well, the traitors who bring disaster to the country and the people should be killed."
The onlookers applauded one after another, this kind of corruption and traitors who have absorbed the blood and sweat of the people should be killed.
"Ruan Dacheng, you wait, sooner or later, one day I will kill you to avenge your blood hatred!"
The small officials of the Donglin Party and the Donglin fans mixed in the common people had different reactions, some silently wept, some were dazed, some were afraid, many ambitious and self-motivated people had quietly left and looked for a way, and only a few die-hard loyalists gritted their teeth to greet Ruan Dacheng's N-generation ancestors, vowing to avenge the blood hatred of the bigwigs. They couldn't and didn't dare to seek revenge on the Son of Heaven, so they could only settle all the accounts on the heads of Ruan Dacheng and the Jiangnan faction.
The head of the Huang family should be cut off, the distribution of the mining should be allocated, the detention of the detained, the release of those innocent slaves who should be released, Huang Yunfa, the head of the Huang family, one of the eight families, was exempted from a severed head because of his meritorious report, and the whole family was assigned to a remote and wild place.
However, according to the grapevine, there is a businessman named Wang Yunfa in a certain place, who looks very similar to Huang Yunfa, and I don't know if it's true or not?
The imperial court confiscated a large number of assets and fields, the Son of Heaven decreed, the confiscated fields, part of the confiscated land, part of the military land, part of the official land, part of the distribution to the newly immigrant to live in Beijing, this move won the support of the people, did not get the land of the aborigines also envy and happy, at least their original land was not evenly divided.
The big event that caused a sensation in Jingshi, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, came to an end, but this matter has been at the top of the gossip list of Jingshi for half a year.
In the court, this matter is not over, or rather, it is just a beginning, this matter is too widely implicated, many officials of the Donglin Department are involved, they are either arrested and imprisoned by Jinyiwei or removed from their official positions, and the vacant positions are filled by others.
There are too many scholars in the world, and there are also many alternate officials waiting to be arranged for entry, and there are just a few official positions, all of them are rushing to the head and bleeding, are you afraid of no one?
The big reshuffle, the biggest harvest is the Jiangnan faction leader Ruan Dacheng, straightened out the promotion to the first assistant of the cabinet, can be regarded as reaching the peak of life, the former Ministry of Industry Shangshu Li Jingbai was promoted to the second assistant of the cabinet, but also a promotion that makes people jealous and jealous, like Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing and other capable ministers have been promoted, Song Yingxing is still too young, and the time in the office is too short, or a seven-grade county order, the promotion is too high to convince the public, and it also makes the minister dissatisfied, Zhu Jian only got him an official position in the Ministry of Works, but in the officialdom, This is already a rocket promotion.
The Donglin Party officials of Liukedao were basically purged, and they were replaced by people from the imperial party and the Jiangnan faction, and the officials of the imperial party accounted for two-thirds, and the former Donglin party officials who could still be left were all progressive in their thinking, self-motivated, and changed their courts, either joining the imperial party or joining Ruan Dacheng's disciples, and some of them did not have any factions, but their official reputations were good and their abilities were passable, and Zhu Jian did not move any of these officials.
The one who really shines on the stage and brightens everyone's titanium eyes is the new official Lang Zhong Song Xiance, this guy simply came out of thin air, and few people know his details, but, as soon as I inquire later, I will know that the number one veteran of the imperial party, the royal military advisor of the Son of Heaven, sometimes directly represents the Son of Heaven, and the cow pen is not good.
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Officials ranks first, responsible for the assessment, appointment and dismissal of officials below the fourth grade, of course, Zhu Jian wants to install his own cronies in the Ministry of Officials, Song Xiance is like this, and he will temporarily occupy an official position.
However, what embarrassed Zhu Jian was that the Song Dajunshi, who was full of intrigue and trickery, didn't even have the fame of Xiucai, let alone the qualifications of the Jinshi in the entrance examination, arranged for foreign appointments, and obtained certain political achievements...... It wasn't until he served as a county magistrate in a small place that was so remote that people couldn't remember the name of the place, and with the cooperation of the cabinet boss Ruan Dacheng, that it was a fool.
This time the cake is very huge, the relevant personnel have been promoted, the imperial party system, the Jiangnan faction, and even the officials without faction are all happy, although there are all kinds of aftermath, but basically there will be no major changes, at least the official offices and yamen are maintaining normal operation, even if some work is pulled down, overtime, and ten days and a half can be made up, all promoted, the motivation for this work is still quite great.
Zhu Jian is still very busy, after dealing with the most important court matters, he has to be busy with the follow-up finishing work, these finishing things are all trivial, but they are quite cumbersome, and they have to be dealt with well, paving the way for future innovation.
Ruan Dacheng was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, and there were many protégés of officials who went to Daohe, and it is said that dozens of tables were set up at the banquet alone.
Song Xiance also went to congratulate with a heavy gift, full of wine and food, Ruan Dacheng personally sent out the door, Song Xiance said a few words of congratulations with a smile before getting into the car, and then boarded the carriage and left.
The smile on Ruan Dacheng's face froze, and his eyes were extremely complicated.
