At this moment, I only heard Emperor Wanli say leisurely: "Now you have all seen it, and you have verified the authenticity! Do you have anything to say?"

What awaits Emperor Wanli is silence! It had long been expected that Emperor Wanli would start talking, and his voice became louder and louder, and in the end it was a roar! "I really didn't expect it, I originally thought that you ministers were all born from reading sage books, and although you can't compare to saints in doing things, you must have some embodiment! But I didn't expect it, I looked through a lot of files and found that bribery was the most common thing! Even human murder cases can be quietly erased! What's even more outrageous is that the son and the father and concubine are not one or two! shouted ethics in their mouths, but they were doing things like male thieves and prostitutes behind their backs! Is this the official of the Ming Dynasty? Is this my courtier?"

Emperor Wanli roared like this for a quarter of an hour, drenching the dogs of the officials with blood! The officials naturally felt the anger of Emperor Wanli, and lowered their heads one by one to bear the abuse silently! Many were even ready to be raided, but then something happened that made them overjoyed!

After roaring for a while, Emperor Wanli was exhausted! He rested for a long time before he said, "I hesitated to look at this thing when I found it! But I really itch in my heart, and I want to know what strange actions my courtiers will have besides their sanctimonious side? Therefore, I asked people to paste all the names and places involved in these files, and then they were relieved to read them. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to help but cut him down for a while!" xь.

Hearing this, many officials breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts! Because things have come to this point, there is no need for Emperor Wanli to tell this lie! So there is another glimmer of hope in their hearts! I hope I can get through this time safely! So they began to think about their own little abacus!

At this moment, I only heard Emperor Wanli say, "Now everyone has already seen this "Hundred Officials' Records"! It's shocking! When I looked at it, I really wanted to tear the paper on it and see which one had a black heart? But in the end, I held back! At the very beginning of the meeting, I thought that I would just arrest people according to the list! But as soon as I saw the number of files, my heart went cold! If you defeat thousands of officials, if you arrest them all, I'm afraid that the court will be in chaos! So now I want to hear your opinions, how should we deal with these things?". Ь.

Emperor Wanli's words made the officials exhale in unison! Relax and use your brain to think! If you don't have a ghost in your heart, you will begin to evaluate the pros and cons of pursuing it? But they soon came to a common answer, which was that this thing had to be destroyed!

Because they know very well what the consequences of opening the pasty name on it will be! The first consequence is to open the first case in the history of the Ming officialdom! Judging from the current dossier alone, there are almost hundreds of officials trapped in it! If it is really investigated carefully, I am afraid that I don't know how many people will be involved, and maybe the officials of the Ming Dynasty will be swept away!

The second problem is that they all know that most of the people who stand in this hall, except for a few officials, have done things that violate their conscience! Wouldn't it be unlucky if this matter involved me! So all the officials are thinking that these files must be destroyed completely!

And the small number of officials who don't want to destroy the file can only think about it in their hearts and dare not say it! Because they know that if they say it, they will be the target of everyone, and they are afraid that there is no place to die!

Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Wanli urged, "Why, don't you Aiqing have any ideas at all? Then I'll start first! According to my thoughts, I really want to send all these people away! And it's very simple, just tear the paper attached to the inside of the dossier! What do you think?"

When the officials heard this, they still looked at me, and I didn't make any moves when I saw you! Because they all know that this is not a good idea! Anyway, the emperor hasn't read the contents of the dossier, maybe he can escape this catastrophe by being silent! And they know better that this kind of thing is no longer something that low-grade officials can participate in! At this time, those who dare to come forward to talk to at least the second grade start, so they just need to keep silent!

Those high-ranking officials naturally know this truth, so

After they looked at each other for a long time, Shen Li, the secretary of the ministry, finally walked out. He quickly thought about an entry point and received, "Your Majesty, I just don't know where you got this so-called "Hundred Officials' Records" from? Where's the person behind these things?"

Emperor Wanli said, "This set of things was found by Jinyiwei in the Zhuangzi outside the city! As for the person behind him, Hu Zhiyu is already in Jinyiwei's prison!"

Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he put on a dignified face and said, "Your Majesty! The minister thinks that this so-called "Hundred Officials' Records" should still be destroyed!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli leaned his upper body forward, narrowed his eyes and said, "Reason! Give me a reason!"

Shen Li knew that this was a very unhappy gesture from Emperor Wanli, but he still said, "As the so-called people are not sages, who can do nothing! Some people have made mistakes, and then they may have already repented, but they are trapped in being coerced by others and have to do something against their own hearts! If Your Majesty can destroy these things, I think these officials will definitely be grateful, and they can also make a complete cut with the past, which will also make these officials loyal to Your Majesty!"

With Shen Li's beginning, many officials immediately stood up to support this statement! But when they were all finished, Emperor Wanli said, "This reason is difficult to convince me! When they were doing something against the law, no one threatened them! Moreover, I also saw from these files that many officials not only did not repent after doing wrong things, but took the initiative to contact the Juggernaut Council, and simply complied with it and did more wrong things! Is it true that such a person should let him go?"

Shen Li slightly turned sideways and looked at the people standing behind him, basically all of them were officials above the third grade, so he was more confident! He said directly: "Your Majesty, you have to believe in the ethics of scholars, the people you said must be a minority, and most officials will still regret it!" Why don't you hear what the other officials think?"
