"The last will obey."

"Go, I'll ask Liu Jin to send you the appointment decree later."

Originally, the appointment of the commander of the 3,000 battalions had to go through the Governor's Office and the Cabinet of the Five Armies, but now the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army is almost an empty shelf, and Li Dongyang of the Cabinet can't resist him, so he can save the procedure and directly issue the appointment decree.

"The last will be retired."

Hu Dakui retreated, and Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin again: "Send a summons to Qiu Ju, let him show me the family in Shandong, and don't let them come out to make trouble for me." ”

In the world, there are not many forces that can make Zhu Houzhao jealous, the civil official group, the coastal tycoons, the Jiangnan gentry, the Xungui group, and the vassal king group are not considered to be a big trouble, as long as they have the military power and the ability to lift the table, they can be easily suppressed!

But there are a few that are different, not only powerful, but also enjoy great prestige, namely the Shandong Confucian family, the Zhu family of science, and the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain.

The Zhang family is in charge of Longhu Mountain, cultivating for generations, and does not pose a threat to the imperial court, although the Zhu family has the same surname as the Ming royal family, but it has never been treated by the royal family, and it has not become a climate, except for the Confucian family.

The descendants of Confucius Sheng, just with these four words, even if he wants to move the Kong family, he has to weigh the consequences.

Once the Confucian family is moved, not only the world's scholars will turn the sky, but also those poor people who expect to turn over by reading will also make trouble, and the consequences will be serious, not only can it be solved by killing people.

And the reason why he was afraid that the Kong family would get involved was because he was worried that those officials who were kicked out of the court would hook up with the Kong family.

The power of the Kong family, he had already learned it a few years ago, if it wasn't for mastering some of the Kong family's handles, he would never have been so smooth in cleaning up the Jiangnan gentry through the rebellion of King Ning.

"The slave understands."

Liu Jin nodded slightly, Zhu Houzhao deliberately sent Qiu Ju, one of the Eight Tigers, to Shandong, just to facilitate the monitoring of the Kong family, and the so-called inspection of Shandong on behalf of the emperor was just an excuse.

"In addition, tell Yan Song that you can make the next plan!"

Those resigned officials have been held high, and the whole capital is praising their selfless dedication, and it is time to send them to hell!

In the treatment of those ministers and vain ministers, Zhu Houzhao will never be merciful.

......

After resigning from the government and returning to their hometowns to help the people in their hometowns seek development, the people of the whole capital admired them, and some businessmen who came to the capital to do business continued to spread the matter to all parts of the world and praise their clear names.

When they heard the news, those resigned officials who were still looking for connections everywhere and hoped to return to the court were stunned, and the excuse used by the emperor to get rid of them spread to the people.

Moreover, are they as selfless as rumored, and would rather not be an official, but also return to their hometowns to help the people seek development?

Their own family knows their own affairs, they make money and enclose land, and they are definitely all masters among the masters, but to say that they can focus on the people of their hometown, it is pure nonsense!

A group of mud legs, what qualifications do they have to make these noble scholars look sideways, in their eyes, there have never been ordinary people, some are just promoted to make a fortune, Qinglou gambling hall.

Drinking and chatting with the Qinglou Qingqi people, talking about the current situation of the court, throwing pots and shaking dice with three or five friends in the gambling house, trying to have a good time, this is what they should do, to help the people do something practical, they may have thought about it when they first stepped into the officialdom, but now, whoever does things for the people is a fool, and it is an outlier of the scholar class.

It is precisely because they know what kind of virtue they are, so after hearing the news that the streets and alleys of the capital are spreading, a group of resigned officials can not sit still, and decades of experience as officials tell them that there must be a conspiracy, a big conspiracy.

A group of resigned officials headed by Zhang Wenjie, a member of the Ministry of Literature, sought the help of their former colleagues everywhere, not seeking to return to the court, but only to suppress the more and more outrageous news, and if they continued to pass it on, many of the things they had done would be impossible to hide, and no one in the world would let them go at that time.

Paper can't hold fire.

They didn't know Zhu Houzhao's plan, but they knew that once the bad things they did were exposed, the court would definitely break them into pieces to vent the anger of the people.

Officials like them are very good at using the people, inciting the people, using the power of public opinion to achieve their own goals, and even forcing the emperor to compromise, so he also knows the power of the people best, and there is no secret to hide in front of a huge number of people.

They went to meet many old friends, colleagues, and bosses, but none of them were willing to help them, Li Dongyang, Yang Yiqing, Wang Wei, Fei Hong and others either pretended to be deaf and dumb, or simply closed the door to thank them.

are all old foxes in the officialdom, whose vision is not extremely vicious, and even those stupid resigned officials can see the problem, how can they not see that this matter is obviously controlled by someone behind their backs, how can they be stupidly trapped.

As the news became more and more popular, the bad deeds of those resigned officials were finally exposed, which can be described as full of bad deeds, full of evil, and unforgivable crimes.

Zhang Wenjie, a member of the Ministry of Literature and Literature, accepted a bribe of 300,000 taels of silver from a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan;

Zhao Yanping, the head of the Ministry of Household and Civil Affairs, concealed a population of 1,000 people, and all of them became tenants of their own households;

Sun He, a priest of the Ministry of Officials, raped and killed several women from good families;

He Qiu, the director of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, was generous with usury abroad, killing many people;

.....

One after another, it either involves corruption, human life, or forced land grabbing, all of which are true, without the slightest fraud, some of them were exposed by the bitter master, and some of them were secretly released by the people of Dongchang.

When the bloody crimes were presented, the people who were still singing praises for the officials before were directly angry, so that they had lost their conscience and were full of evil, and they could still be called clean officials?

The people, who felt that they had been deceived, ran to the mansions of those officials and scolded, and went to the Yamen of the Beijing Division to complain, demanding that the imperial court severely punish those corrupt officials and corrupt officials and demons in the world no matter what.

Zhu Houzhao, who received the news, smiled: "The most undeceivable thing in the world is the people!" ”

The people do not read, they do not read, they may be easy to deceive, and they are easy to incite, but they are by no means easy to bully, and those officials who think they can play with the people's hearts will taste the so-called terrible mud legs that they despise in their eyes.

Willing to cut off his body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse, he is almost mythologized, and the emperor who is known as the Son of Heaven is still like this, not to mention a group of civil officials who are powerless and can't do anything but make money and enclose land, in front of the angry people, their end is doomed.

Not to mention that the evidence is conclusive, even if they are really honest and honest, they must also be corrupt officials and corrupt officials, in order to give an explanation to the angry people, the court can only do business.

Due to the limitations of the times, the meaning of the words "the people" and the people may be different, but the truth is the same, Zhu Houzhao this time is to use the power of the people to teach those officials a hard lesson, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey.

In the future, if anyone is disobedient and dares to continue to make money and enclose land, and dare to continue to work with him, then he can't be blamed for sending talents to the people again!
