Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Chapter 507: former officials

When the morning sun was just rising, the court discussion in Chengtian Hall was still going on, but two figures came slowly from outside the Meridian Gate.

"Stop! This is the important place of the palace, the idle people are waiting, leave quickly!"

A soldier yelled impatiently.

"General, I am the grandfather of Duke Yansheng in the residence of Duke Yan. I request to see His Majesty, and I hope the general will grant permission..."

"Yan Sheng Gong?"

The general frowned and turned his head to look at the general: "This general remembers, this dynasty, but there is no Yan Sheng Gong?"

"General, Duke Yansheng belonged to the previous dynasty, and His Majesty never conferred Duke Yansheng!"

One of the generals will return immediately.

"That's the official of the previous dynasty..."

"Wait for your courage!"

The general shouted violently, then waved his hand, and several soldiers surrounded him.

"After I am a sage, what are you going to do? Aren't you afraid of being reviled by the world?"

Kong Zhenning leaned on crutches and pointed at several generals and scolded.

"After the **** sages, it is now the Daheng Dynasty, what are you pretending to be a big tail wolf!"

"Get them all!"

The general shouted loudly, and several soldiers from the imperial camp rushed up, one after the other, the two descendants of Confucius, who were both guests in the capital, were brutally pushed to the ground with a bundle of hemp ropes. After the sages, it was as if It looks like a prisoner.

At this time, the court session ended. When the palace gate was wide open, hundreds of officials came out from the Meridian Gate, and they were the two father and son Kong Zhenning, who were like prisoners.

Those who walked in the front were undoubtedly the leaders of Wu Xun and civil officials. Wu Xun naturally didn't even look at Kong Zhenning and his son.

And several ministers in the cabinet, after glancing at Kong Zhenning and his son, immediately turned their eyes, looking at the nose and heart, as if they didn't see it at all.

As for the civil ministers who came out in twos and threes after several cabinet ministers, Kong Zhenning, who was the guest of honor in their house not long before they met, almost seemed to be strangers to each other.

In the face of personal interests and ideological beliefs, these civil servants did not hesitate to choose personal interests.

When the news of the palace gate quickly went to the Qianqing Palace, in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was summoning the two important ministers, Duke Jingguo and the commander of Jin Yiwei.

In the hall, Duke Jingguo's report was clearly audible, and each cruel number was spit out from Duke Jingguo's mouth without any emotional fluctuations, and finally passed into the ears of the emperor.

The Son of Heaven also looked indifferent. The tax case, since the big case was started, has now been more than half a year, and the number of people involved in the case is already the largest in history!

In the bitter cold areas outside the Liaodong Corridor, in just over half a year, the population has increased by more than 40%, from more than 300,000 people at the beginning to more than 500,000 people!

Obviously, among them, who are these more than 200,000 people!

The case has spread so far, and the guilty, and those who can be found guilty, have, in fact, been found out.

Those who are still being arrested and examined, in fact, although it is still a tax case, it has nothing to do with tax.

It's just in the name of the taxation case, to remove the last obstacle for reform.

Just like the case of the Confucius Mansion, which is currently in charge of the three judicial divisions, the same is true.

What he is doing now is not much different from what the emperors of the Han Dynasty did. He relocated local merchants to combat the power of local tyrants.

It's just that he was implicated in this tax case.

Only by breaking the old order, the new order can be smoothly implemented to the end, and the new interests under the new order can be born smoothly.

As for this blood that alternates between old and new...

It just made his name as a tyrant more bloody.

These, Emperor Zhaowu, didn't care anymore.

"The Confucius Mansion..."

As soon as the emperor made a sound, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a soldier from the imperial camp stepped into the hall.

"Your Majesty, there are thieves in the name of Duke Yansheng from the previous dynasty, intending to forcefully break into the palace gate and collide..."

The emperor frowned, then glanced at Li Ruolian: "Is there a connection between the Confucius residence and the south?"

"Have."

Li Ruolian immediately responded: "Since your majesty you ascended the throne, the Confucius Mansion has never cut off its ties with the south, and Mongolia, the Confucius Mansion also has secret contacts..."

"Is there any evidence?"

the emperor asked.

Li Ruolian replied: "The evidence is all there, and it has not been handed over to the three judicial divisions."

The Emperor gave Li Ruolian a meaningful look, and then nodded, "Yes."

"Keep the evidence, it's best, let the Confucius Mansion and the south be actually involved!"

"These two people from the Confucius Mansion, you handle it well."

"Subordinates obey."

Li Ruolian immediately took the lead.

The emperor waved his hand and instructed a few words, and when his eyes caught sight of the hypocrisy on the map, he suddenly chuckled.

I have to say that the existence of Nan Ming really solved most of the problems for him.

How many gentry and merchants, how many officials hold great power, these people, if the world is unified, under his oppression, for the sake of their lives, for their rights ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will inevitably become the source of chaos everywhere.

But now, most of these people who should have become the source of chaos have basically arrived in Nanming under the hope of survival.

Although, like this, it will definitely enhance Nan Ming's finishing strength, and it will inevitably make Nan Ming's resistance more determined.

However, compared with Daheng as a whole, in the short term, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

After all, without the existence of Nan Ming, he, the emperor, is still struggling with how to quell the rebellion. How can he sit and watch the world as he is now so comfortable.

As his thoughts flowed, the emperor looked at Xu Feng who was standing beside him:

"In a few days, I will go with me to various prefectures and counties near the capital. I am still a little worried if I don't look at it in detail."

"Sir, obey the order."

The Son of Heaven waved his hand, Xu Feng retreated, and the Son of Heaven was the only one left in the hall.

After a while, the gaze of the emperor was suddenly fixed on the land of Liaodong.

Up to now, it has been more than half a year since his triumphant return from Liaodong, plus the few months of reform...

If possible, he would really like to visit Liaodong in person, and take a look at what this reform looks like at the bottom, what are the pros and cons, and how to avoid it...

But, obviously, this is somewhat unlikely. In this current situation, it is impossible for him to leave the capital and go to Liaodong again.

All he can do is to read through the reports of officials in Liaodong, the reports of garrisoned troops in various places in Liaodong, and the reports of Jinyiwei secret agents.

But hearing is false, seeing is believing.

No matter how detailed the recordings were, and he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't be at ease.

It has always been an official tradition to report good news but not bad news.

"Secret system..."

The emperor murmured to himself, but there was a rare hesitation in his eyes.
