Chapter 389 The Court Is In Turmoil! Hundreds Of Officials Are Affected!
Chapter 389 The court is in turmoil! Hundreds of officials are affected!
In the next half day, the Ming Dynasty was in shock.
All the princes and princes who had a slight relationship with Hu Weiyong were invited to Jin Yiwei for questioning.
For those who had tangible evidence or were related to relatives, the Jinyiwei directly sealed off their mansions and properties, and even sent personnel to their ancestral homes and hometowns to investigate their properties and behaviors, trying not to miss anything.
Memorials and reports gathered at Zhu Yuanzhang's desk like a flood.
And as the news came out one after another, all the officials in the court no longer wanted to work.
Ministry of Rites, Government Office.
Ren Ang sat in front of the porch, his expression full of sadness.
In just half a day, most of the officials in his yamen were arrested.
Among the others, many were ordered to go home to reflect and wait for summons.
The huge Ministry of Rites was unable to function for a while and fell into paralysis.
Although he, the Minister of Rites, is still in this position, he is secretly beating a drum in his heart.
After all, there were actually only three types of people in the previous court. One was a party member with Hu Weiyong, one was an opponent of Hu Weiyong, and the other was unworthy of forming a party with Hu Weiyong.
A casual official who is not popular at all.
He has been immersed in the officialdom for so many years, so he naturally knows what to do and what not to do, but similarly, he has been immersed in the officialdom for so many years, and sometimes he has to do things against his will.
There is nothing wrong with him now, but this does not mean that nothing will involve him later.
With a sigh, Ren Ang got up from his seat and walked out.
Almost at the same time, Zhu Biao, who was on patrol outside, also got the news.
When he heard about the changes in the court and the imprisonment of so many officials one after another, Zhu Biao looked strange and hesitated to speak.
On the other side, Jinshen Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang held a thickened memorial in his hand, his expression full of complexity.
On the desk, most of the cinnabar has been used, and even the pole has become a bit broken.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang has reviewed too many things.
The eunuch on the side thought for a moment, then bravely stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, why don't you take a rest first, your dragon body is important!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and waved his hand, indicating that the eunuch did not need to say any more.
"With these bastards, do you think we can't keep our bodies open?"
One sentence made the eunuch dare not say anything.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the eunuch, and then asked: "Is there any news about the prince?"
The eunuch quickly replied: "According to your wishes, the message has been sent, but the prince has not returned School Disciple with a message or anything.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, seeming to feel slightly comforted.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, given Zhu Biao's past character, he would definitely have to persuade himself this time, and he might even ask himself not to kill Hu Weiyong.
But this time, Zhu Biao had no reaction, which made him feel that Zhu Biao finally had the vision and ambition to be an emperor.
Everyone knows Jin Yiwei's dirty tricks.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood that there were inevitably some people here, who might have been deliberately dragged into the water or discredited.
But he didn't care, what he wanted was to dismantle Hu Weiyong's party members.
Of course, in addition to this, he also hoped to completely clean up the court and hand over a court that would serve the emperor to his successor, Zhu Biao.
Just when he was about to open his mouth and say something, there was another sound of footsteps outside.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Come in!"
There was a promise from outside, but Zhu Yuanzhang saw Mao Xiang walking in from outside.
On this day, all memorial documents were handed over by others, and this was the first time Mao Xiang appeared.
When all the circumstances were piled up, Zhu Yuanzhang instinctively thought that the documents sent by Song this time were probably not light.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What happened?"
Mao Xiang saluted first, and then spoke cautiously.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Han wrote a poem in prison and was seen by the people below. I did not dare to hide it, so I had to copy it."
"In addition, someone has confessed to several deceased marquises and ministers in the court. I don't know how to deal with it, so I came here to report it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and unexpectedly Mao Xiang brought the documents.
Mao Xiang handed it over respectfully, and then stepped aside respectfully, looking even more reserved than usual.
"Going to Cai Dongmen is a cunning rabbit. Why did Li Si forget to return to the south? He is determined to retreat after his achievements are over, and wait until Yunyang's clothes are stained with blood?"
After reading this poem, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a hint of helplessness on his face.
This is Hu Zeng's poem "Ode to Shangcai" in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shanchang wrote this poem at this moment, which is undoubtedly borrowing from the past to describe the present.
.........0
But will he become the First Emperor of Qin? Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't think he will, at least the Ming Dynasty will not be the Qin Dynasty.
Thinking of all the past events, Zhu Yuanzhang actually felt very uncomfortable.
Among all the ministers, Li Shanchang was the most convenient to use. He was away on war, and it was thanks to Li Shanchang that he arranged food and grass and managed the place.
Outsiders say that Liu Bowen is the living Zhuge Liang, but in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Li Shanchang is comparable to the contemporary Xiao He.
It's a pity that Li Shanchang is too small-minded to be reused, and when faced with public-private conflicts, he often only chooses personal gain.
However, if it was just because of these, in fact, Li Shan's crime would not lead to death, and Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to pardon his crime.
But if Li Shanchang is not killed, other heroes will inevitably have to be pardoned, and then his own goal will not be achieved.
With a secret sigh in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the ink pen and marked the memorial.
"Yang Jing and the others have meritorious service and do not need to investigate their heirs. However, if they already have a title, they still need to investigate."
In a word, it can be regarded as depriving a large number of meritorious officials of their achievements.
Mao Xiang's heart trembled, but he still agreed and left in a hurry.
Soon, the news was spread again. When they learned that Li Shanchang was imprisoned and the responsible officials for his death were also held accountable, batches of officials became worried and secretly thought about how they could make amends or protect themselves.
For a time, people were pleading guilty to the court and accusing Hu Weiyong to the court. Memorials piled up like a hill in the main hall.
And because of this fluctuation, all the ministries of the court were almost on the verge of stopping.
Both the people's hearts and the government have received a huge shock.
Although in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, this incident was called the legal network, but in the eyes of most ministers, this was a nightmare.
As the investigation deepened, not only the deceased ministers were unearthed, but also many people far away in the border fortress were secretly arrested by the Jin Yiwei.
The influence also spread to the entire Ming Dynasty. According to legend, many ministers felt like they were reborn after returning home every day. Some even went to court to say goodbye to their family members one by one, fearing that they would be raped. Report, once you go to court, you will never come back.
However, there are always exceptions to everything. At least there are still people in the center of Ming Dynasty who have not been affected by this incident.
