Chapter 109: The Officials of the Ming Dynasty Do Not Rely on Yu Lu (Fourth Update)
Huang Liji looked at the evidence on the note, and he could see that the evidence on the note was interlocking, and a sufficient chain of evidence had been formed.
It is conceivable that Jinyiwei has done a lot of work.
Every piece of content in this, as long as it is in the eyes of experienced officials. It can be seen that it is absolutely true evidence, and there is no possibility of being half false.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't need to use any slanderous means at all, because the eunuch minister was not very clean.
They didn't take root in the eunuchs for money, they did it for power, but now it's just normal.
The matter is only to blame for their own wrong choice, since they chose to be a eunuch, they should not be a wall-to-wall grass, and they should not betray Zhu Youxiao.
After Zhu Youxiao finished reading it, he passed it back and forth among several other cabinet scholars.
I only saw a few other cabinet scholars, and the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, and I couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat.
After these cabinet scholars and the six ministers had finished reading the recital, the recital did not continue to be passed down.
I only heard the majestic voice of Zhu Youxiao above, "Now the evidence is conclusive."
"Huang Aiqing, as the first assistant of the cabinet, you should also give an explanation based on the current evidence, how should these corrupt officials be dealt with?
"Give me a suggestion!"
What else can Huang Liji say?
This eunuch party is no longer the eunuch party of the past.
Now if we say who is the leader of the eunuchs?
Then Huang Liji must have said that Wei Zhongxian was the first leader before.
But this Wei Zhongxian has obviously been retrained by Zhu Youxiao, and he doesn't dare to control the affairs of this eunuch party anymore, and even has a kind of behavior of transferring the actual power of the eunuch party to Zhu Youxiao.
Then the second person in the name of the eunuch party is naturally Huang Liji.
Now Zhu Youxiao means that the eunuch party has become a traitor, and he has to give a passable explanation.
This is also a test given by Zhu Youxiao to Huang Liji.
And Huang Liji didn't hesitate for half a minute, now that his road has been narrowed, he can only go one way to the dark.
However, Huang Liji is also a veteran actor who has been on the battlefield for a long time after all, but he has a sad look on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, there are such corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the court now, and the ministers are really sad when they see the content of the song. ”
"As the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, this matter is indispensable to the minister of a responsibility for poor supervision, please punish Your Majesty."
"But before that, the minister asked His Majesty to behead these corrupt officials all over the house to show the majesty of the court."
When Huang Liji said this, the eunuch ministers who had just passed the word of mouth and knew that they had been recruited knelt down on the spot.
They now regret it in their hearts.
If Zhu Youxiao gives them another chance, they will definitely not be smart again, and they will no longer cherish their feathers.
They kowtowed in front of His Majesty and shouted, "Your Majesty, the minister knows his mistake!" ”
"The minister knows it's wrong!"
"Please forgive your majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
Zhu Youxiao shook his head, looking a little regretful.
"Huang Aiqing is busy with official business, and he can't take care of some aspects, which is really normal."
"Now the minister is using this matter to punish you, it will be too harsh."
"But if I don't punish you, it will be unreasonable."
"In that case, punish Huang Aiqing? In March, set an example! ”
Huang Liji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, that is to say, what he said just now generally satisfied Zhu Youxiao.
As for what punishment? In March, Huang Liji didn't care at all.
When did the officials of the Ming Dynasty live on Yulu?
Isn't that a joke to say!
It's just that after Zhu Youxiao above finished talking about the disposal of Huang Liji, he continued: "Just killing a few corrupt officials, it is too lenient for them." ”
"During the time of Emperor Taizu, as long as corrupt officials were caught, they had to be peeled and filled."
"Although I am tolerant now, I can't be too tolerant, the matter of the Zhu Jiu clan is exempt, and the Zhu San clan will definitely not be able to run."
That's how it ended.
When several eunuch ministers who had betrayed the eunuch party heard this, they also wept bitterly on the spot.
It's just that the behavior of each eunuch minister traitor seems to be a little different.
Some traitors wept bitterly and remorseed, some traitors were unable to speak, and some traitors actually stood up and scolded Zhu Youxiao.
But soon, the eunuch traitor who did this was gagged by the brocade guard next to him and forcibly dragged him away.
This time, the court meeting ended like this.
Overall, the pilgrimage was beneficial.
This is enough to make the eunuchs understand that after the eunuchs join, they cannot withdraw again, otherwise there will inevitably be a big disaster.
Zhu Youxiao can at least be regarded as unifying the thinking of the eunuch party.
When Zhu Youxiao returned to his palace, he flipped through the recital that Huang Liji gave him, saw the content there, and showed a slight smile on his face.
When he saw the twists and turns given to him by other eunuch ministers, he found that although they were all regarded as voting for him, most of the suggestions put forward were not suitable, and only Huang Liji's strategy was useful.
Zhu Youxiao threw Huang Liji's book in front of Sun Zhiqi next to him.
"Just follow Huang Liji's proposal, then some Donglin Party ministers come to you to apply for a newspaper, and they are all allowed to do it."
Sun Zhiqi opened the recital, and when he looked at the content inside, he couldn't help but sigh, an old fox like Huang Liji should not be underestimated, he is still too far behind the other party.
Huang Liji's suggestion can be said to have put the Donglin Party in a dilemma.
If the Donglin Party does not run a newspaper, then the newspaper, an emerging public opinion platform, will make the Eunuch Party stand out.
But if they join the newspaper industry, then it will inevitably cost a lot of silver.
Based on the silver taels that Zhu Youxiao is now investing in the Shuntian Times, it is enough to make these Donglin Party members feel broken.
At least Zhu Youxiao thinks that it is impossible for Donglin and others to take silver taels from their pockets to do such a thing as running a newspaper.
After all, Zhu Youxiao also wasted a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in order to run this Shuntian weekly report.
This Shuntian weekly newspaper was not only circulated in the north and south of the country, but Zhu Youxiao also posted more than 100,000 taels of silver taels into it every month, and transferred these Shuntian weekly newspapers to all parts of the country.
Zhu Youxiao even allocated nearly one million taels of silver to build new branches of the Shuntian Weekly Newspaper across the country.
As soon as each issue of the Shuntian Weekly comes out, it will be immediately transmitted to all parts of the world by Kuaima, and then typeset and printed by the Shuntian Times semicolon in various places, and sold to local teahouses and taverns.
