In the early morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Cao Yubian rushed into the carriage and set off under the escort of his entourage.

Qinghe Yicheng personally sent it to the door and respectfully sent Cao Yubian away. Although the post station has now been stripped from the local government and all of them are under the name of the Jinyi Guard, the post has the identity of the Jinyi Wei General Banner, but compared to the court officials like the Left Deputy Capital Yushi, the Jinyi Wei General Banner is nothing at all.

Cao Yubian set off six days ago and was ordered by the cabinet to go to Jinan to take over the corruption cases of officials. Zhu Youzhen's series of actions in Jinan shocked the court, and after deliberation, the cabinet decided to send Cao Yubian to extinguish the fire, so as not to let the emperor mess up in Shandong.

It's just a matter of cleaning up the Dewang Mansion, the Dewang Mansion dared to hide more than 200,000 Wang Tian, and even detained the clan Lumi, committed many crimes, and did not have many opinions on the disposal of the Dewang Dynasty. After all, the king of Germany is a clan, this is an internal matter of the royal family, and the civil officials will only be happy to see it.

However, then Zhu Youzhen made a move against the Yansheng Mansion, which made the civil officials of the court in an uproar.

Yan Sheng Gong, a direct descendant of Kong Sheng, Yan Sheng Mansion represents the context of the world, how can he mess with Yan Sheng Gongfu?

When Zhang Shize led the army into Qufu and arrested the news of Kong Yinzhi, the prince of Yansheng, reached Beijing, many officials were really angry, they didn't dare to vent their anger on the emperor, and they scolded Zhang Shize for messing around. In those days, the impeachment of Zhang Shize flew to the cabinet like snowflakes.

The emperor is not in Beijing, although there is a crown prince in charge of the country, but where can the three- or four-year-old prince govern? For such a major event, Empress Zhou, who listened to the government, did not dare to make the decision, and only said that she would send the song to Jinan and let the emperor personally deal with the matter.

The civil officials all know that the reason why Zhang Shize dared to act so recklessly must be due to the emperor's instigation, so what is the use of sending the impeachment of Zhang Shize to Jinan?

But you can't watch the emperor mess around like this, so many civil officials simply connect with each other and make an appointment to directly write and advise the emperor not to be disrespectful to the Yansheng Mansion, otherwise it will cause the anger of scholars all over the world.

However, before the emperor's recital could be sent to Jinan by the General Administration, the official documents sent from Jinan to the imperial court arrived, a piece of evidence of the Yan Sheng Mansion's oppression of the people, and a copy of the dirty things that the Yan Sheng Gong Mansion did. Looking at the confessions, the court bosses were silent.

These confessions and evidence can be regarded as completely uncovering the most filthy secrets of the Yansheng Mansion, and looking at the crimes committed by the Yansheng Mansion, the civil officials have to admit that the emperor did the right thing.

What qualifications does a morally corrupt person like Kong Yinzhi have to be a saint of Yan, and what qualifications does he have to pay tribute to Kong Sheng on behalf of the people of the world? The officials of the three halls and six halls of the Yansheng Mansion have done so many evil things, what qualifications do they have to claim to be after Confucius?

"Well caught!" Some officials of good character have been called out, and other civil servants have had to chimed in.

Although most of the officials in the court are not innocent, they themselves or their families have done corruption and bribery, and they have all relied on their fame and power to accept land and annex land, and their behavior is not fundamentally different from that of the Yansheng Mansion. But after all, there are many things that can be done and cannot be said.

Therefore, the cabinet and courtiers also remained silent about Zhu Youzhen's announcement of the ban on the Yansheng Mansion and the subsequent decree of renaming the descendants of Confucius as sacrificial officials.

The matter of the Confucian family was just that, but I didn't expect the emperor to set off a big prison in Jinan again, and all the officials of the political department, the judicial department, the Jinan Mansion, and Licheng County were all arrested, and even the officials of the various yamen were not spared, and the officialdom of Jinan was almost empty.

This situation reminded the courtiers of the emperor's actions in northern Shaanxi four years ago, when the officials of the entire northern Shaanxi were also swept away in this way, most of the officials were directly executed, and the entire gentry family in northern Shaanxi was executed along with the officials' homes......

Now that the officialdom of Jinan has almost been swept away, will the emperor take the initiative against the gentry in the next step? The officials in the court had to be suspicious.

The emperor was very hostile to corrupt officials and gentry and landlords, which was already the consensus of all court officials.

In order to prevent the emperor from not coming in Shandong, the court bosses urgently discussed and decided to send Cao Yubian, the left deputy capital, to take over the interrogation of the criminal officials in Jinan, and at the same time let Cao Yubian urge the emperor to leave Jinan as soon as possible and go south to worship his ancestors.

After receiving the appointment, Cao Yubian hurried and hurried, and it took only six days to pass through Dezhou, which was still two hundred miles away from Jinan City. However, at Qingheyi, south of Dezhou, he heard the news from Jinan, just yesterday, at the entrance of Jinan's vegetable market, more than 100 officials who committed crimes were executed in a row, and all the officials from the county government were killed on the spot.

When he heard the news, Cao Yubian almost fainted, but he didn't expect it to be too late to hurry.

The emperor went on a killing spree on charges of corruption, and his methods were too cruel and violent, which was absolutely beyond the bottom line of all officials. Since then, all officials have feared that they will lose their heads.

It was enough to investigate the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the emperor was not merciful to the gentry, and almost killed all the gentry in Yansui on the grounds of counterinsurgency in northern Shaanxi.

After all, northern Shaanxi is a remote place, far from Beijing, while Shandong is completely different. The northeast of the mountain is connected to Beijing and Tianjin, the west is connected to the Central Plains, and to the south is the rich land of Suyang, once the emperor kills the gentry in Jinan, it will inevitably cause the gentry of the world to shake, think about the situation at that time, Cao Yubian shuddered.

Cao Yubian is a native of Yuncheng, Shanxi, and is seventy-three years old this year.

The emperor is very dissatisfied with the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, the corruption of the Ming officials, the consumption of a lot of money and grain by the clan every year, and the wanton annexation of fields by the gentry! That's why I hit King De, banned the Yansheng Mansion, killed corrupt officials, and now I'm afraid I'm going to do it against the gentry again.

Cao Yubian understood that all the emperor's means were for the good of the Ming Dynasty, and he wanted to prosper the Ming Dynasty, but this is not how things work. The gentry is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, if it is like this, it will inevitably make everyone in the world detached from morality, and even the emperor will not be able to control the situation.

Therefore, we must rush to Jinan as soon as possible to persuade the emperor not to do anything more against the gentry, otherwise there may be a big chaos.

Therefore, Cao Yubian ignored his old age and frailty, and continued on the road as soon as it was dark, and hurried to Jinan City. However, when he arrived at the Qihe Station on the north bank of Jishui, he heard several news one after another, which shocked him: Qingzhou, Dongchang, and Denglai all had fire dragon burning incidents, and the emperor was furious and had sent envoys to various prefectures to investigate the case. Moreover, it is said that the emperor will also send a large army from Liaodong to Shandong.
