Chapter 406: All in jail
The Donglin Party members are not afraid of court sticks, are not afraid of being exempted from officials, or even are not afraid of being sent to garrison, because these may become "qualifications" in a while and are rising "capitals".
But this "never use" is different. Not only does it result in a crime, it also means that there is no chance to turn things around!
As soon as he dragged a step, someone begged for mercy and shouted loudly: "Emperor, Your Majesty, I know the crime, I know the crime..."
There was an opening, and it immediately rang out one after another.
"Emperor, I know that I am guilty of my crime, and I should not obey the laws of the court and slander the emperor..."
"Emperor, I am willing to make meritorious deeds, and I regret my mistakes..."
Zhu Xu stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, wearing a dragon robe, with a faint expression and a sharp look on his eyes.
Without Zhu Xu's "Jinkou", the Imperial Army would naturally not delay. Ye Xianggao, Han Xuan, Yang Lian and others were dragged out.
There were more than twenty people missing in the court, and it suddenly seemed empty, as if a cold wind was passing through the hall. Everyone felt their necks colder, and they bowed more and more, and they did not dare to move.
Zhu Xu's eyes fell on Zhang Woxu, who was kneeling on his face again, and said coldly: "Shangshu Zhang, have you thought of a way to deal with it?"
Zhang Woxu raised his head tremblingly, but he didn't lift it up. The sweat wet the ground. He trembled and said in a trembling voice: "When you go back to the emperor, there are still some people who understand the righteousness and support the court..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Xu interrupted coldly, "Why didn't I see it?"
Zhang Woxu thrust his face and said, "It's all the blame for the Donglin Party..."
Zhu Xu shouted in an instant: "Stop shirking responsibility for me! From today on, the Ministry of Rites will set up court reports in various provinces, prefectures and counties to convey the information of the court to the people of the world, explain the court's laws and policies, and strictly review it. We will never allow today's events to happen again, and you will not hear it!"
Zhang Woxu listened to Zhu Xu's words, and then he felt more and more awe: "I obey the order!"
Zhu Xu looked at him coldly and scolded coldly: "You are better than the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party and I do things against the court. You don't do anything and can do nothing. You also ask me to find a way for you. Can the Minister of Rites sit still? If you can't, you can go home and wait for death!"
Zhang I was over 80 years old and went to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, but I was not willing to go home to retire. When I heard Zhu Xu's words, I slapped on the ground and said anxiously: "Don't worry, yourselves, I will do my best to be loyal to the emperor, and to the court, and to eliminate the impact of this matter as soon as possible. I hope you can rest assured!"
Zhu Xu looked up and glanced at the others, including King Xin and King Jing, all lowered their heads. There was no other sound in the huge Golden Palace. He didn't care at all about Zhang Woxu's words and sneered: "Tell me what are you going to do?"
Zhang Woxu knew that he had already labeled the emperor as "incompetent". If he didn't do anything, he would really have to go home to retire.
His eyes turned sharply, and he couldn't control his sweat. He suddenly said, "Return to the emperor, I believe that the imperial examination should be abolished and the academy system should be implemented. In the future, the imperial court can only select talents from the Royal Military and Political Courts. As for Fushe, people from Donglin will be prohibited from entering, and the court will never use them!"
This is what Zhu Xu had planned for a long time, but because the opposition was too loud and it has not been officially implemented for a long time. I will follow the opportunity of this photo.
Zhu Xu laughed anxiously and hummed, "You will be able to get some trouble. I won't bother with you about this matter. You can do it."
Zhang Woxu was granted a general amnesty and stood up tremblingly and said, "I thank the emperor for his kindness."
Zhang Woxu returned to the court, and Zhu Xu's eyes searched King Xin and King Jing again. After a long time, they settled on Zhu Youjian and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you are the Prime Minister. You are such a loud criticism, aren't you going to say anything?"
Zhu Youjian has not yet come back to his senses from Zhu Xu's strong removal of the Donglin Party. Seeing Zhu Xu's spearhead facing him, his mind immediately became trembling, he had a tense face and stepped out: "Return to the emperor, I... I have ordered the governors of the southern provinces to appease him, and it should be effective."
Zhu Xu's face slowly darkened again, and he took two steps forward in a row, and said angrily: "Leave it to them to comfort me? The thousands of people in the Fushe Club are all the children of officials, and the sons and grandsons of Jiang Yihong, Chen Yingyuan, Wang Xiangjin and others are among them. Don't the emperor know? If they weren't for their infancy, how could they become more and more intense and alarm the world?"
Zhu Youjian's scalp was tight and he had no ability to think. He was afraid that Zhu Xu would be angry and would relieve him of the Prime Minister and abolish Wen Zhao Pavilion.
When Zhu Xu saw that Zhu Youjian was so angry that he could not speak, he was not too much. He snorted coldly, turned to Prince Jing and said, "The Governor's General Court immediately sent people to several southern provinces such as Zhejiang/Jiang, and asked for the consent of the governor. He can appoint first and then report! Then I do not allow the existence of the Fushe!"
When King Jing heard this, he went out and said, "Abide by the order!"
Before King Jing finished speaking, Zhu Xu said again, "Wei Zhongxian!"
Wei Zhongxian ran out from the side door, stood under the steps, and bowed and said, "I am here."
Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, his eyes cold, swept over the ministers and said, "You should get up and go to Jiangnan immediately to implement the 'Nine Regulations'. If there is any obstacle, you will be able to obtain the governor and the governor agree, you can take action first and then report!"
"Abide by the order!" Wei Zhongxian's face was calm and his tone was extremely indifferent, as if he saw ordinary trivial things at first sight.
The officials in the court heard Zhu Xu's orders tense up. It was fine if they didn't know. Those who knew some of Zhu Xu's plans understood that the emperor took this opportunity to sanction the Jiangnan officialdom.
Zhu Xu dismantled the Donglin Party, scolded Zhang Woxu, and beat Zhu Youjian. At this moment, he stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, looked out of the hall, turned around and waved his hand and said, "Get out of the court."
Only then did the officials wake up as if they were dreaming, and quickly bowed and said, "Greatly send me the emperor."
Zhu Xu came out of the back door of the Jinluan Palace, straightened his waist, looked up at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief, then grinned and rubbed his face. Only then did he realize that there was sweat on his forehead and his back was wet.
After the performance, Zhu Xu felt much more comfortable physically and mentally. He walked and said, "Cao Huachun, prepare hot water, I want to take a shower. By the way, how many points do you think you can get in my performance just now?"
Cao Huachun followed behind and said, "Yes." As for how many points you get, the emperor's frequent and inexplicable words have long been used to ignore them.
Zhu Xu didn't expect Cao Huachun to respond, and hummed a song and walked towards Jingyang Palace.
Zhu Xu left, and the ministers in the Golden Palace also walked out of the threshold in groups of three or three, gathered together, and whispered.
The emperor's rare outrage made them feel unsure.
Fortunately, they were all for the Donglin Party and were not implicated. However, they all had a premonition that the emperor, who stood on the commanding heights of morality and legal principles, would not give up so easily.
Almost as they stepped out of the palace gate, the Ministry of Justice, Shuntian Mansion, and the Tiqi of the East Factory swept across the entire capital.
Zuo Mansion, Zuo Guangdou was handcuffed and forced out of the house.
His face turned pale, he struggled hard, and said angrily, "Rareless, why do you force yourself to break into my mansion and why do you catch people!"
The Dongchang man was talking to him, and he punched him and sneered: "You have formed a clique and slandered the emperor and criticized the court. All of them are enough to catch you! Take him away!"
When Zuo Guangdou heard this "false" charge, he became more furious and shouted, "Eagle and Dog, we are eliminating the country's traitors. What can the eunuch party do to me!"
The Dongchang man ignored it at all, kicked it, and was about to put it on the prison car and run to the next place.
Mao Yujian was having a drink with his wife with apologized and laughed. When he saw the people from the Ministry of Justice kicking the door, he rushed over and showed his official power and shouted: "What are your Ministry of Justice doing? I am the censor of the current dynasty. I have no order. Do you dare to trespass my residence? I believe it or not, I impeach your Secretary!"
The head of the Ministry of Justice sneered and said, "You want to impeach, there is a place in the prison! Take it away!"
The servant from the Ministry of Justice rushed over and covered his body with shackles.
Mao Yujian was shocked and ignored everything else, shouting to his wife: "Madam, help, help!"
Mrs. Mao was also frightened by the situation, rushed over and said anxiously: "Let go, my father is the former Minister of Justice, let go of my husband!"
When the head of the Ministry of Justice heard this, he immediately said, "Your father's name, where is your living, and where is the person now!"
Mrs. Mao is not stupid either. She doesn’t know what Mao Yujian has done, so she can’t say it.
"Everything is taken away!" The head of the Ministry of Justice waved his hand immediately.
Zhang Mansion, Zhang Fengxiang, the former Minister of War, looked straightforward and coldly at Fu Yingxing who came to capture him, and said, "I am doing well and loyal to my Ming Dynasty. Your eunuch party will harm the country and the people, and one day you will not die well!"
Fu Yingxing just sneered and didn't care at all.
On that day, all the people in the Donglin in the capital were imprisoned, and the whole world was frightened.
