Today's court meeting is destined to cause turmoil up and down. The Son of Heaven was furious, and Jinyiwei, Teng Xiangwei and other pro-troops came out together, and dragged all these shouting eunuchs down mercilessly. There were suddenly many vacant places in the hall, and the remaining ministers of civil and military affairs stood scattered in the Fengtian Palace, which seemed quite cold, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"Boss." Lao Zhu spoke leisurely again. "The reform of the imperial examination system is urgent."

"We are in urgent need of a large number of talents, this scientific examination, you must make achievements, select excellent scholars, and fill the position of those silverfish that you have just brought down."

"Yes." Zhu Biao nodded.

"In front of you, let's say it again. The Ming Dynasty is different from the former Song Dynasty, in our Ming Dynasty, it is never allowed to form parties for personal gain, fabricate attacks, and exclude dissidents like the former Song Dynasty. ”

"What we want is a big husband who can help us, lay a bigger territory for our Han family, and create an unprecedented and unprecedented!"

"It's not a villain who only cares about the gains and losses of one family and one surname, and plays right and wrong in front of us and instigates infighting."

"If there is still such a faint official, hang up the seal yourself as soon as possible! Don't wait for us to find out that you are corrupt and bribery, and hang you on the city gate. ”

"We're not afraid of killing the imperial court...... What we want is for everyone in the court to think in one place and work hard in one place. If anyone still dares to stumble and release cold arrows to the officials and soldiers who are bent on pioneering, let's persuade you here today, first think about whether the knives and guns in the hands of our Ming generals are sharp enough! ”

"We will not spare anyone who commits an offense, understand?"

“…… Understand, understand......" The officials sweated.

"Retreat!" Lao Zhu waved his sleeves, and the officials were like being amnestied, and they hurriedly gave salutes and exited the hall one by one. While retreating, he was still wiping his sweat with his sleeve, still afraid of himself.

Since the establishment of the dynasty, it is the first time that so many court officials have been imprisoned at one time during the court meeting.

This group of people only felt that the sky was cloudy, and this Ming court was really no longer the same as before.

……

"In the past few days, my father has confiscated many senior officials in the court and sent them to prison. The Yansheng Mansion slandered the prince, formed a party for personal gain, criticized the state politics, and was deprived of the lord. The Southern Sect Kong clan is now looking around, thinking that they want to inherit the title of this Yan Holy Duke. But now Jingzhong has become a mess of porridge, there are horsemen everywhere, everyone is in danger, but no one has the heart to pay attention to them. ”

"Alas, those officials are too bold. Jinyiwei only investigated a little, and found nearly 100 major corruption cases...... The corrupt officials who were stripped of their skin and grass hanging next to the official road outside Yingtian City stretched for dozens of miles. There are even some sour scholars who write poems for them, saying that this dynasty is cruel and cruel, even more than the previous dynasties. ”

"What about the people? What's the reaction? ”

The people did not react, but some rejoiced. I even heard that some people clashed with the scholars on the spot. ”

Zhu Su smiled when he heard this: "Then it's okay." A little sour poetry can't damage my father's reputation among the people, and the people have their own name in their hearts. The so-called water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. Now this water refers to the ordinary people, and it has nothing to do with those literati and gentry. Those literati and gentry have always only known their own selfish interests, and did not know the existence of the country. They are used to bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, as long as I have the advantage of the soldiers, they will not dare to move half a point on the bright side. ”

"On the contrary, if there are too many corrupt officials, they will have no way to live. At that time, even if it was a knife and axe, they had to try their best to touch it. These people are the foundation that we want to protect. ”

In the Qianqing Palace, next to the window, Zhu Su was holding a bamboo tube with cotton thread, and spoke weakly to the bamboo tube in the moonlight. Far away from the window, Zhu Li was sitting next to the garden with another bamboo tube, chatting with Zhu Su through this bamboo tube. He was very good at physics, and on the same day, he thought of using a bamboo tube to connect cotton threads to make a simple dialogue device to transmit news to Zhu Su and Empress Ma in the Qianqing Palace.

In this way, you can not only talk in the air, know the situation in the temple, but also don't have to worry about being sick because you are too close.

"It's just that there are too many people affected by this big case." Zhu Li said. "In front of the court meeting, many people were imprisoned on the first day, and many more were bitten out on the second day. On the third day, some officials who had just filled their positions in the court were imprisoned after only one trip to the court. Now that the Beijing officials are in the court, it is like parting from life and death, and there are many families hugging and crying at the palace gate, such as going to the execution ground. ”

"It's just that if you can go down to the court safely, there are court officials who are ecstatic and celebrate with their crowns. They even had to put wine in the building to celebrate the safe passage of today's court...... Alas, such a shape is really excessive. This matter is recorded in the history books, and my father is afraid that he will leave a reputation as a tyrant in future generations. ”

"......" Zhu Su was silent, unexpectedly thinking that he would take every precaution, and in the end, such a situation still appeared. In the past, the old Zhu Xing Hu Weiyong case and the empty seal case, in view of the fact that the Ming Dynasty Dingkou was rare and there were no alternate officials, so he, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao all strongly persuaded the old Zhu Wanmo to spread too widely, and it was appropriate to punish the crime with punishment and distribution.

Perhaps Lao Zhu himself also thinks about his posthumous reputation, or wants to accumulate some yin virtues, so in the more than ten years since the founding of the country, Lao Zhu's famous "Nine Clan Warnings" in history have rarely occurred. Even if there are those who affect the nine clans, there are very few who kill them all.

But he didn't want himself and Queen Ma to be trapped in the Qianqing Palace due to pox, Lao Zhu actually started to kill outside, and regained the name of the tyrant who was brutally killed by Emperor Hongwu. However, Zhu Su only sighed at this. Today, unlike in the past, the imperial examination system is ready for everything, and soon, a large number of pragmatic officials who have been nourished by Xinxue will fill the court.

At this time, Lao Zhu killed all the ghosts in the court, not only did it not hurt, but it could better make room for those new students.

Strip away those tumors and add these fresh blood, and the operation of the state machine of Daming will only become smoother and smoother.

Who let those people always be stubborn and always drag Da Ming back for their own interests? Lao Zhu will not kill at this time, if it is left to Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying, it will take more effort to remove it when the time comes. Rather than this, it is better for Ren Lao Zhu to kill it all at once this time.

Now that he thinks about it, Lao Zhu doesn't care about his posthumous name, and Zhu Xiongying has gradually improved, and he no longer needs to worry about the so-called providence that will take away his relatives and grandchildren because he is too thirsty for killing. If so, what is there to be soft-hearted? Let go of the chopping and chopping, and completely remove these thorns for future generations.

As for Zhu Su, he also hopes that the Ming Dynasty will be able to unite as one from now on.

Hearing that there was not much surprise and worry in Zhu Su's tone, Zhu Li was quite surprised: "Old Five, listening to your tone, did you know that there would be such a result?" ”

"How did you expect that, why don't you talk to the third brother. The third brother also wants to know, how many secrets do you still have? ”

Zhu Su was stunned when he heard this, so he had to laugh and said, "The third brother is laughing, how can I have any secrets...... By the way, I heard that Jin Yiwei commanded Jiang Zhen to go to check Kong's house in person? ”

"Did he find out anything? Up and down the Confucian Mansion, can it be related to this smallpox? ”
