Chapter 128: Big Shuffle

Under the threat of the Beijing camp soldiers, all the constables on the scene retreated. None of them wanted to stay at the scene. They vaguely felt that this incident was not that simple.

"Damn it, this is a fight between gods. Let's go away and don't be implicated." A headmaster muttered and quickly left the scene with his people.

I have some brains and some insights, and I can naturally feel something unusual from the atmosphere on the scene. And those ordinary people who have only a slight understanding of the political structure obviously don’t know that they have been used as guns.

All kinds of mass revolutions have always been controlled by ambitious people behind the scenes. They use the people to kill the enemy and then pick the fruits of victory.

But why can't the emperor use the power of the people?

Obviously, it's OK.

It is still very good to let the people criticize and fight the bureaucrats. In advance, you must have enough reputation to mobilize the people. Moreover, during the mobilization process, you must strictly prevent the bureaucrats from fooling the people and criticizing the people. Once the people start to kill each other, the consequences will be very serious. The mobilizer will definitely bring a lot of crooked reputation in the end, and the bureaucrats will become the final winners.

As a time traveler, this is all learned from history. Zhu Youxiao, who learned this lesson, launched a campaign to criticize and fight against the bureaucrats this time. The scope was only controlled in the capital, so that he would not be pulled by the sudden big steps. After all, the scope was small and he could control it.

If it is a nationwide criticism, it will be out of control.

However, Zhu Youxiao's current reputation is limited to mobilizing the people in Northern Zhili. Moreover, this time he did not shout out the slogan of criticizing and fighting the bureaucrats, but only criticizing and fighting the Donglin Party. It will not continue to spread afterwards.

The Beijing camp arrived at the scene. First, maintain order and avoid violent conflicts among the people during protests. At the same time, it is also to control the situation and prevent further development of the situation.

After all, Zhu Youxiao did not need these ordinary people to fight and kill. He just wanted to pull some banners, shout slogans, and wave the flag. In fact, it was not just criticism or protest.

The whole show was done. After the Beijing Camp arrived at the scene and expelled the constable, the order on the scene began to be maintained immediately.

A long spear is scattered in front of the soldiers, forming fences to form cordons to prevent the scene from getting out of control.

At first, the workers were still a little scared, and some riots occurred, and some workers were scared away. However, the factory guards who incited workers to protest were encouraged and cheered the workers on the spot. In addition, the Beijing soldiers did not shout and shouted and killed, but instead formed a series of cordons gently, which made the workers feel at ease. They began to protest continuously under the leadership of these factory guards.

Then both sides began to shout and started to do a full set of dramas.

"Dear fellow workers, we will report your requests truthfully to the emperor. Please disperse first. The emperor will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." An officer from the Beijing camp shouted loudly.

"Donglin treacherous and slanderous people, and Ye Xianggao is accused of tigers and does not give us the way to live, and they must be severely punished."

"We won't leave if we don't defeat the Donglin Party."

"Yes, we won't leave. Defeat the Donglin Party and severely punish Ye Xianggao."

The scene soon turned into a condemnation meeting. A group of workers, instigated by factory security intelligence personnel, gathered at the scene and refused to leave.

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky again, and the people continued to protest in the severe cold.

By noon, many ordinary people were hungry. At this moment, a group of enthusiastic businessmen suddenly came, shouting the slogan of overthrowing the Donglin Party, and sent a large number of steamed buns and breads.

These are all royal merchants, all in partnership with Royal Capital. They are available in almost all industries. Over the past year, the Ming Bank has developed many joint venture merchants. In those very ordinary industries, there are several joint ventures of royal merchants. The joint venture method is also relatively simple, that is, Royal Capital injects capital into these royal merchants and then conducts commercial operations. Usually, several merchants will be selected in one industry for joint ventures, and then let them start a healthy competition.

The morale of the protests at the scene suddenly surged. Eating the food and water sent by these merchants, he continued to block Ye Xianggao in the mansion.

So much so that Ye Xianggao could not leave the door, and even could not send out the memorial. When the Jingying arrived at the scene, Ye Xianggao breathed a sigh of relief, but the Jingyingying was just here to make soy sauce, and was only responsible for maintaining order on the scene and did not drive away these protest workers at all.

As time went by, an ominous premonition began to become stronger and stronger in Ye Xianggao's heart.

What should come is coming after all.

When the workers gathered until evening, an imperial edict was finally issued.

"The emperor Fengtian Chengyun said, "Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the cabinet, acted misconduct, which aroused public outrage and protests among the people. He also embezzled and accepted bribes, and the evidence was conclusive. Therefore, he was dismissed from the position of Chief Minister, confiscated his property, and was imprisoned and punished him. In addition, the court will definitely punish corrupt officials severely and will never tolerate anyone. All the people gathered will disperse immediately, waiting for the punishment result, and I respect this."

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit."

"Long live my emperor."

The factory guards kneeling on the ground immediately shouted loudly, and the other workers who participated in the protest reacted and quickly sang loudly. However, they were not as neat as when the officials went to court, and seemed a little noisy. People who had not participated in this kind of activity were mobs and could not come to protest spontaneously. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that someone had organized and planned it.

"It's gone, it's gone. Everyone should go back!"

"I've all gone back, I've gone back. The emperor will definitely give everyone a satisfactory explanation."

"What a holy emperor! I knew the emperor would definitely not sit idly by."

A group of workers stood up and immediately started to talk happily and excitedly. In the cheerful atmosphere of the workers, the protest finally ended.

However, the people did not disperse immediately, and many people still gathered in front of Ye Xianggao's mansion to watch the fun. Because a group of Jinyiwei had arrived at the scene and were breaking into the door.

On that day, Ye Xianggao was taken away by the Jinyiwei for investigation.

At the same time, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang were still making a big move, arresting more than 30 people in one night, but they were all important roles of the Donglin Party.

The chief assistant Ye Xianggao, Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary Liu Yi-ying, the second assistant Han Du, and Qian Qianyi, who had just returned and served as the chief examiner of Zhejiang, and Qian Qianyi, the Zhejiang examination room hosted by Qian Qianyi, had already had a fraud case this year. However, before, Zhu Youxiao mainly started to deal with the Donglin Party in the capital, so he ignored it and the cabinet gave him a salary fine.

This time, Zhu Youchao tried to deal with the Donglin Party mainly to get some money by raiding the house, so he naturally could not let Qian Qianyi go. This guy could afford to play with and build a luxury house, so his family was naturally wealthy.

Basically, the Donglin Party, from the cabinet to the six ministries, all the Donglin Party in important positions were killed.

Most of them have been obtained from the evidence of guilt. The materials confessed by Li Sancai were too powerful. Most of them could be directly convicted. The remaining part has not yet obtained the evidence of guilt, so they will be arrested for trial before they can be discussed. It is not too late to release the evidence of guilt, but the official position cannot be restored.

All those who have been convicted will be confiscated and the three tribes will be implicated.

Such a punishment method is really a bit strong. In order to calm down the mentality of the ministers, Zhu Youxiao immediately issued an order to investigate these implicated people of the three tribes, and all the poor relatives who did not participate in the transfer of interests were acquitted.

At the same time, it also allowed Wei Zhongxian to stabilize the morale of the military and communicate with the organized mascots. It implicated the three tribes to target the Donglin Party officials who were caught with evidence of crime. At the same time, it required these mascots to declare their property. Those who embezzled in the past will not be punished, and those who dared to embezzle in the future will be severely punished.

After all, Zhu Youxiao had not tied these gangsters to the chariot to share their interests at this time, and it was still a bit difficult to eliminate corruption among these officials. Therefore, it is necessary to arrest corruption, but it is better to follow the normal model and not to implicate the three tribes.

Zhu Youxiao's decree did not go through any written form. After all, such things can only be spoken and cannot be said in public.

But the effect was very good. The group of horsemen who gathered together immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly reported their property. However, these horsemen were not in high status before, and they had some property, but they were not particularly fat.

The emperor agreed that their previous corruption gains were a little bit encouraging. At the same time, when the emperor strictly arrested corruption, he did not dare to be too blatant for the time being.

It is their ability to get money without knowing the corruption. After all, it is only a few people who need to get corruption without knowing it. It cannot cause quantitative change and qualitative change, which is not very harmful to the country. As long as you follow the strict investigation procedures, some fish that miss the net do not need to pay too much attention.

The big bosses of the Donglin Party were killed in one go this time, which means that the fat pigs have been slaughtered, and the remaining Donglin Party does not need to be killed.

The Donglin Party is still a talented person. Zhu Youxiao is just fighting corruption this time, not killing all the Donglin Party. Moreover, since the Donglin Party has been removed from the important positions of the cabinet and the six ministries, and then putting the gathered maids in it, there is no need to have any party disputes, everything follows the procedures.

Next, when I found out who was corrupt, I was still raiding my home for the crime. The same was true for the group of gangsters who gathered together, because they had already written off all the corruption they had before. If they dared to embezzle, they would also be punished.

However, to prevent corruption, the most important thing is to distribute interests.

When an official has no money, he will naturally find ways to get some money. After all, the Ming Dynasty was not in the early days of the founding of the country. At that time, people lived a simple life, officials were not corrupt, and they had a high social status in a simple life. Now that businessmen have such a big show of sensation, it is inevitable that they will compete.

Obviously it is time to increase the salary of all officials and further improve the relationship between the monarch and the ministers. (To be continued...)
