“...... And you, although all of you stand on the dry shore with a high sound, are you so clean? I know that some of you are more corrupt than these seven people! I advise you to turn out your heart, lungs and intestines, dry it, wash it, and pick it up! As soon as these words came out, the remaining officials also became uneasy, they may not have participated in the Liao salary, and they were not involved in the Jin merchants, but they were also corrupt and bribed, and used power for personal gain, if His Majesty really pursued it and killed all the officials in this court, there must be wronged, but if one kills another, there will definitely be those who have slipped through the net.

"When I first ascended the throne, I thought that the biggest enemy of the imperial court was Wei Zhongxian, and I destroyed Wei Zhongxian; Thinking that the biggest enemy was Jiannu, I defeated Jiannu in person; Those Jin merchants who were in contact with foreign countries became a problem in my Ming Dynasty, and they wiped out the eight Jin merchants; Shaanxi Liukou has become a problem for the Ming Dynasty again...... I am now becoming more and more aware that the trouble in my mind is not outside, but in the imperial court, and it is here in the Qianqing Palace! I have to admit that this line is still very emotional, the more Li You speaks, the smoother it becomes, and the more he speaks, the more powerful it becomes, and those ministers all bow their heads one after another, not daring to make any sound.

"I have treated the gentry very well, and I have raised these silverfish for more than 200 years? Just raise these corrupt officials and corrupt officials? In the past, my Ming officials were corrupt, the displaced people were scattered, the draft translation was in trouble, the country was empty, and the use was scarce; In the north, the Tatars marched into the Central Plains, in the south, the Tusi fought for power and profit, Cen Meng rebelled, the two rivers were shocked, and in the southeast, the Japanese invaded the coast, and the people were struggling to make a living. Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng turned the tide, cleared the fields, rectified the rule of officials, and appointed famous generals to defeat the enemy army repeatedly, so that I could prosper in the Ming Dynasty. "Dealing with these people strictly is only the first step to save Daming from destruction, "I didn't expect that less than 50 years after Zhang Xianggong's death, my Daming will become that bad again, and even surpass." ”

"Your Majesty......" Han Yi, who was lucky enough to be able to stand in the court, witnessed so many people being taken down by Jinyiwei and didn't speak, but now when he heard these words, he finally couldn't help it, listening to His Majesty's tone is to carry out reforms, this is a great deal, just taking down those officials is not a big deal, as long as the system of the Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, someone will immediately fill their vacancies, still act according to the old ways, and still feel at ease to embezzle and accept bribes, and use power for personal gain, but listen to what Your Majesty just said, His ambition does not stop there, how wise and resolute Zhang Juzheng was in the past, it can be said that he single-handedly helped the Ming Dynasty's society, but the counterattack he faced was also very fierce, doesn't Your Majesty understand this?

"I decided to send a messenger to Jiangling to rebuild the tomb of Zhang Juzheng, find talented people from among the descendants of Zhang Xianggong to become officials in the court, and move the statue of Zhang Xianggong to the Taimiao to accompany the worship." After Zhang Juzheng's death, due to the counterattack of the opposition forces, the Zhang family was raided, and his palace rank was cut, and he was forced to take away the seal book and four generations of edicts given before his death, and he was shown to the world for crimes, and Zhang Juzheng was also almost opened and whipped, and his family was either starved to death or exiled; It was not until the apocalypse that the officials were restored.

Li You not only reaffirmed Zhang Juzheng's contribution to the Ming Dynasty this time, but also further gave him the honor of accompanying the Taimiao, which was also through Zhang Juzheng to show his firm attitude towards reform to the ministers.

If Li You only solves the Jiannu, the Guanning Army, the Jin Shang, and the corrupt officials in the court, and does not change the existing system of the Ming Dynasty, it will not be long before the imperial court will still return to the previous appearance, without the Jiannu and the Mongols, without the Jin merchants, maybe other business groups will provide ordnance, grain and grass to the alien races outside the Saiwai, and the Xuanda army may become another Guanning army, and those officials who have passed the imperial examination and entered the court will still go to Qian Longxi, The old way of Wen Tiren and others.

It was easy to shatter an old world, and with Yue Yun's 50,000 Song troops and Li You's newly recruited Jing battalion, the entire Ming Dynasty and even East Asia could not find the force that could stop them; But it was difficult to build a new world, after the overthrow of the Great Qin, after several years of princely disputes, and then through the Han Gaozu until the Han Wen Emperor and the Han Jing Emperor were on the right track; After the death of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty experienced several years of war and wealth to dominate the world, and then recovered its vitality by the time of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty; A more typical example is the decades that followed the overthrow of the Manchu Qing dynasty before China re-established an effective system of rule.

The Ming Dynasty has experienced more than 200 years of development, and any small problem at the beginning of the founding of the country has developed to a situation that cannot be easily changed in more than 200 years, such as the clan problem, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that his descendants could expand to such an extent in more than 200 years, and now just supporting these clans has made the Ming Dynasty's finances unable to bear it; For example, the issue of land annexation can really be said to be a place where the rich are connected and the poor have no place to stand, and people always have to eat, even the most cowardly people, when it comes to life and death, they will burst out with great power and crush those gentry who used to be high......

In addition, there are many problems such as military households, bureaucracy, taxes, etc., each arrow is an extremely headache, each of which requires considerable strength to be solved, and each of which will face a strong counterattack from vested interests.

Fortunately, Li You is not a lonely and helpless Chongzhen, he has the most powerful army firmly in his hands, which allows him to let go of his hands and feet to use his means, any opposition will be completely defeated in front of this powerful army, with this army as a support, he can fire at the gentry group and the clan group without any scruples.

Now dealing with these officials with the help of Liao is just the beginning, and there will be more frightening means for them in the future, fifteen years, as long as it is used properly, the Ming Dynasty may not be able to be reborn from the ashes.

"Your Majesty, this matter is widely implicated, and the officials, officials, merchants, and people involved in the case may not be less than tens of thousands. Shaobao, the crown prince Taibao, Wu Yingdian scholar, and cabinet member Li Biao said that because he was not deeply involved in the matter, he survived and could continue to stay in the main hall.

"What Li Aiqing said is extremely true, I have a plan for this matter, and I will definitely not kill on a large scale." Qian Longxi, Wen Tiren, Zu Dashou and other first evils must be punished with capital punishment, but if the others are all dealt with according to the law, it seems to be too wasteful, after all, population is also a resource.
