Chapter 787 Arrest tens of thousands of people

In history, Liang Chu was one of the cabinet members of Yang Tinghe and the cabinet, and he also belonged to the Qing school.

Later, after Yang Tinghe stepped down, he also succeeded Yang Tinghe as the head of the cabinet for a period of time.

The main achievements of Qingliu officials are often reflected in how the emperor was confused and how they persuaded the emperor to give up such things.

In fact, there is a kind of careful thinking in it, and the historian recorded it like this, reflecting how the ministers were, and the emperor became the opposite character.

The literati's mind is not so simple, for example, in the "Records of the Tribute to the National Dynasty" compiled by the Ming Dynasty scholar Jiao Hong, there was a story that said, "The crown prince (Zhu Gaochi) shoots arrows in the school field, and he gets off the horse and misses everything." ”

On the surface, this is a compliment, but in fact it is a mockery.

In ancient times, archery did not simply say that it could shoot accurately, it was all about riding archery, riding on a horse to shoot a moving target, which was called kung fu good!

So deliberately written like this, that is, Emperor Renzong was too fat.

In Zhu Houzhao's words, it is very tasteless to ridicule like this, Ma Dan, have you eaten your rice?

In comparison, a leader like Zhang Xuan, looking back at his political achievements, there are some specific reform measures, but his reputation is a little worse.

The subtleties in this, Zhu Houzhao is conscious.

Of course, it's not that Liang Chu has too much of a problem, as the secretary of the ministry, he is upright and upright, and has selected many people with high moral conduct for the two capitals and fourteen provinces, so his reputation has always been good. Plus after so many years, the prestige is still very high.

But this time the emperor and the cabinet quarreled, but in the end it hurt him, which is really unexpected.

Even Liang Chu himself couldn't figure it out at all.

And, it's somewhat disappointing.

Because as a minister, he was originally conditionally admitted to the cabinet, especially after Yang Yiqing left.

Who knew that Zhang Xuan had risen suddenly, so it was okay, and now he was asked to go to the imperial history of the left capital.

Although it is said that it is the same as Jiuqing, the power of the official department is not comparable to the imperial history of Zuodu. In this way, there is little hope for him.

In fact, he was dragged down by his son Liang Ci's captivity, and Zhu Houzhao didn't think about him in the first place.

Although this person has been exiled, this is a relatively light punishment for his face, and for officials who have been cleared up as core competitiveness, this is a big stain.

is upright, but he can't even manage his son, so how can he manage the country.

For such a person, the final destination is probably the Imperial History of Zuodu, let him bother those unruly officials.

It's just that the emperor has used people like this one after another, obviously to 'be close to the villain and far away from the gentleman'......

This is also the reason why Wang Wei is considering obeying the emperor's order and really issuing another Qingtian order in the name of the cabinet.

He summoned Jiuqing Qi to the cabinet, pointed to the order that had been drafted and put on the desk, and said, "This is the Qingtian Decree drafted according to His Majesty's will, and once this order is issued, no one in the world can stir up the relationship between the cabinet and the emperor." All three of me will sign it, and as for you, it's up to you. ”

This order is essentially an order to support Liu Jin.

Don't look at the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, some civil officials in the Ming Dynasty are very strange, and some things that insist on opposing them, even if they cut off their heads, they don't agree, just like Liu Jian, Yang Yiqing and others.

If you threaten to kill someone, they will straighten their necks, but they won't do it anyway.

There is a faint atmosphere of pride in resisting the will.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao has done a lot of things to coerce the cabinet and the six ministries in the past, but this time he did not sacrifice this trick until this time.

In fact, he calculated in his heart that Wang Wei might refuse, and Yang Tinghe might also be.

So he suddenly got angry that day, and he also had a half-deliberate taste, in short, it was some 'angry talk'.

In any case, Chrysostom is about to open, and it is Wang Wei's turn and Yang Tinghe to be entangled.

Wang Wei said this, and the officials who sat down really began to be entangled.

It can't be said that they are disloyal to the king, but being with Liu Jin is the boundary of the times that they can't break through.

Wang Wei saw that no one spoke, and he also understood in his heart, "In this case, then the three of us should sign it." ”

He Jian, the head of the household department, also asked in turn: "Elder Wang Ge, do you really want to do this?" ”

"You know what the emperor means, the emperor said that it was our people who 'forced' him, if the three of us don't go around, the result will be more Liu Jin poisoning the people of the world."

Everyone was surprised that Wang Wei still had such thoughts.

And the eyes in the hall are also focused on Liang Chu's body - the official book that has not moved for many years is suddenly adjusted at this time, isn't there a trace of extraneous sound?

Wang Wei and Yang Tinghe understood that none of them could stop the emperor and insisted on confronting, that is, the 'treacherous' Manchu court, rather than this, it is better to let them stay, at least keep some seeds.

In the final analysis, is it important to clear one's name, or is it the interests of the country and the people that are important?

Actually, that's it.

Wang Wei sighed in his heart, it's a pity that Li Dongyang is dead, otherwise he must have understood.

"The lower official is willing to sign." Suddenly, the 'newcomer' Zhang Zilin spoke up.

He got up silently, grabbed the cuffs with his left hand, lifted the brush with his right hand, and put down the pen in front of everyone's attention.

Wang Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sighed slightly and followed behind.

After all, he and the Son of Heaven have been in love for many years, and when things come to this extent, he still wants to stand as the emperor.

When these things reached Zhu Houzhao's ears, he snorted softly, he has been an emperor for more than ten years, and his temperament and wisdom have long been familiar to him, it should be like this on the first day, where is it needed.

But there is no point in mentioning those now, anyway, from today onwards, it is not good to play Qingtian again, and if you want to slow down or stop, the court will ignore it.

If you play this again, it will be allowed, and the others will indeed be correct, and the provinces below these people will implement the clearing of the fields, but it will be smoother.

When Wang Qiong came, let him fill these positions, and if he was really lacking, he would slowly fill in the vacancy, and he was afraid that no one would be an official in an official-based society, Zhu Houzhao really didn't believe in this evil.

In short, just one sentence now, do what you can do in Qingtian, and kill you if you can't do it.

As soon as this order came out, the court was naturally full of shock.

When Zhu Houzhao listened to the administration of the early court a few days later, many officials were still 'shocked' and put forward various explanations.

As the emperor, he threw all those pieces back!

The same Jiangnan a few days later,

The matter of Qingzhang continues to move forward in turmoil,

Jing Shaokui, the governor of Yingtian, led the troops into the rich family in the countryside in Wuxi County, the capital of Changzhou, and the governor already had military power, and it was not difficult for him to transfer a guard.

It's a pity that when the soldiers and horses arrived in the township, those families and families scattered in a hurry and fled long ago.

That's not going to work either.

Jing Shaokui took Cong Changde, the prefect of Changzhou, and pressed the list of Wuxi magistrates one by one, "According to the will of the imperial court, these are all traitors, although they run away, they must order the whole country to be wanted!" The list, place of origin, and appearance characteristics should be written down one by one, and posted in all prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River! ”

If you must live a life of exile, then let him be.

There is no way, the news from Jingshi is getting more and more firm, and if he doesn't make these actions, Jing Shaokui is also worried about living up to the emperor's trust.

Suzhou Mansion is also shaken.

Min Yiqin, the prefect of Suzhou, was relatively clean, and did not lose the face of his grandfather Min Qi, he edicted the big households in the city and all the prefects and counties under his rule to the yamen and announced, "Now the imperial court is iron-hearted, no matter what you rely on behind you, from today on, take away the fluke thoughts, and the surveyors of each county will start with your fields, first big and then small, and unfold in order." If you let the officer know who is secretly obstructing the surveyor, then wait for the conviction and imprisonment! ”

Previously, there were also people in Suzhou Mansion who made a rebellion, and after Min Yiqin explained the matter, he led people to the countryside to chase him, and there was nothing to hesitate about, and now he was the first to catch one by one.

Zhuo Ding, who had fled far away for his father and asked for help for thousands of miles, also set off a storm, but the government was arresting the people who spread rumors, and he was soon involved.

If Zhuo Ding is caught, the Suzhou Liu family will not be able to escape.

Normally, such an arrest can even reach tens of thousands of people involved in the case, but the current attitude of the imperial court is tens of thousands, arrest!

No matter how much the bureaucracy resists, the emperor has several 'gold medals' in a row, and there is a Liu Jin waiting in Nanjing to collect people's heads, after all, there is still some effect.

The Liu family was originally a prominent family in Suzhou, and his family had a house in the city of Suzhou, a place in the city.

Seeing that the government was besieging the house, the people on the side of the road were frightened, hiding outside the official government and pointing at the horses, "This is a great disaster, and many large families have been arrested recently, and it is estimated that it is a matter of land involved." ”

"I thought that Liu Tong was also a person with great powers...... I didn't expect to escape this catastrophe......"

"No matter how big the supernatural power is, is it bigger than the above?"

……

Liu Tong himself in the house was already full of misery, and several of his wives, sons and daughters were crying in a group.

Zhuo's tragedy fell on his head so quickly, he really didn't expect it.

Hearing that Min Yiqin was here in person, he went out to greet him tremblingly, and wondered if there was room for maneuver, so after meeting and kowtowing, he immediately said in a trembling voice: "Fuzun, measure ...... In the matter of measuring the land, Liu Shi will fully cooperate, and will never dare to make a hindrance from it! I also ask the lord of the mansion to raise the platform and give the villain a chance. There are more than 100 people in the villain's house, thanks to Fuzun's words, please spare your life, spare your life! ”

In the end, he cried and shouted, and his expression was cracked.

Min Yiqin is a square person, he can't bear it in his heart, and he can't stand it, so he can only turn his head, "Liu Tong, it's not the official who wants to be like this." It is really about Qingtian in the imperial court, and the emperor has questioned him several times, even if it is my own son, I dare not hide it. What this official can tell you is that Lord Zhongcheng will come to Suzhou in a few days, you explain carefully, if there is no major crime, you may be able to save your life, if you still have to fight, it is possible to be cut down in a daze, in short, everything depends on you. ”

Liu Tong suddenly collapsed, "Mansion...... Fuzun, since Zhongcheng has not arrived, then everything is still possible, and the Liu family and the Liu family have never opposed the imperial court Qingtian from the beginning. Even...... Even the villain is willing to give most of the land......"

"Shut up!" It was precisely because Min Yiqin was a square person that he couldn't listen to such words, "The will of the imperial court is clear, your Liu family's land belongs to your Liu family, Qingtian is not to take away the land, and this official will not collect it in private." As for what you said, Zhongcheng has not arrived...... Don't you have a brocade guard in the city? If you want to know today, why bother in the first place?! ”

This movement was very large, but no matter how rich the family was, they did not have the strength to resist the force of the imperial court.

Otherwise, when Liu Jin investigated Juntun, the opponents would have killed the officials sent by Liu Jin directly, and wouldn't it be simple to kill Liu Jin in the end? Why did the final conclusion of the reason for his failure be that he offended too many people, causing him to lose his foundation and finally be abandoned by the emperor?

In the end, it can only be done through political means.

The same was true of Wei Zhongxian later.

Even if they do something, it means that they are politically defeated.

But there is no such thing here in Zhu Houzhao, if you want to stop it, there is a way, gather 100,000 troops to come out and kill for a while, this is still a bit of a chance.

The premise is to do it.

Just like Liu Tong, even if there are several more of the same family, the government wants to arrest them, except for running, they can only admit it, even if they get together and form a momentum, in fact, they will be broken when they touch it.

A big 'seal' word was pasted on the door, and the Liu family stood in line with shackles, which could not be said to be very popular with the court, but the people along the street said it, feared it and even angered it, but in the end it was just a look.

Some wanted notices were also posted on the side of the government office, and the officials sang loudly: "These people deliberately provoked trouble, secretly confronted the imperial court, and committed unforgivable crimes, so they ordered to be wanted!" At the same time, it is also a warning to wait, and then there are those who refuse to measure the land, cut! ”
