Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Chen sat on the throne of the dragon chair and looked at Cao Shaoqin below.

Cao Shaoqin bowed to the report; "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Fan family sent someone to sneak into the Dongchang factory to save Fan Yongdou, but the Dongchang has killed all these people, and none of the Fan family who entered Luoyang secretly has escaped... "

Cao Shaoqin truthfully reported that the Fan family sent someone to sneak into the East Factory, and delivered a memorial to Zhou Chen.

What is written on the twists and turns is the specific process of how the Fan family sent people to sneak into the East Factory, and the East Factory killed the Fan family and these people.

Zhou Chen picked up the twists and turns, opened it and glanced at it, with a sneer on his face.

This Fan family is really bold.

They have all become the people who the court wants to kill, and dare to enter Luoyang secretly, and sneak into the East Factory to save people?

I really thought that when Cao Zhengchun left Luoyang, no one in the East Factory could control the scene. Can anyone sneak into the East Factory unscrupulously?

Zhou Chen put Zhou Zhe aside, looked up at Cao Shaoqin and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Cao Shaoqin said immediately, "Your Majesty, some generals of the city defense battalion and some generals of the Shenwu Guards outside the city have had some changes recently."

Oh!

Zhou Chen raised his brows when he heard the words.

The city defense battalion is responsible for the defense of Luoyang city gate and the security of the city, and there are 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Not to mention Shenwuwei, who guards the capital of God, the imperial court intimidates the world's elite.

This city defense camp and some generals in Shenwuwei have changed, which is not a trivial matter.

If Zhou Chen expected it well, the changes of these generals should be inseparable from the things planned by the three great families and the King of Shu.

Regardless of the fact that the Shenwu Guards outside the city had been cleaned up before, there were still some generals who were inextricably linked to the aristocratic families.

For this, Zhou Chen is beyond doubt.

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment, then said to Cao Shaoqin, "Keep an eye on these generals, and immediately go and call me Du Ruhui and Liu Ye."

Zhou Chen knew that the plans of the three great families and the King of Shu should have begun to be arranged.

Then, Zhou Chen will also start the second step.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Shaoqin bowed to take orders and withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

...

After half an hour.

Du Ruhui and Liu Ye walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation together.

"Chen Du Ruhui."

"My minister Liu Ye."

"I have seen Your Majesty."

After Du Ruhui and Liu Ye entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they bowed respectfully to Zhou Chen on the dragon chair.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, and his eyes stopped on Liu Ye's body; "Liu Ye, how's the household inspection?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, more than half of the investigation has been done."

"All the officials involved have been taken down and put in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"A large number of officials related to the three major families have also been taken down."

"Some of the available people, officials willing to serve His Majesty, have not touched them."

Liu Ye bowed and said.

Liu Ye was ordered to investigate the household department, and the real purpose was to clean up those officials in the court who were inextricably linked with the three great families.

Of course, checking the Ministry of Accounts is also a major purpose.

Just not the main purpose.

Therefore, for those officials who are related to the three major families, Liu Ye will try to involve them as much as possible, and then take the opportunity to take them down.

Zhou Chen nodded after hearing the words, and looked at Du Ruhui again; "Du Ruhui, where are you!"

"Have the vacancies of those officials been filled?"

Zhou Chen moved the officials of the three major aristocratic families in such a way as to understand the Ministry of Household so as not to cause too much turmoil.

Once a few are found, other officials can fill the vacant positions immediately.

This will not affect the normal operation of the court.

"Your Majesty, most of the vacant positions have been temporarily filled by other officials."

"There are still some vacancies, and there are no suitable officials to be transferred for the time being."

"However, vacating the positions of these officials will not affect the normal operation of the yamen and the handling of government affairs."

Du Ruhui also bowed and said.

After Zhou Chen listened to Du Ruhui's words, he nodded again; "That's good."

"Since everything is going well, let's go to the next step tomorrow morning!"

...

the next day.

Start early.

The civil and military officials walked into the Golden Palace in turn according to their official positions.

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty."

After Baiguan walked into the Golden Palace, he knelt down and shouted to Zhou Chen, who was already sitting high on the dragon chair.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, looked down at the civil and military officials below, and said, "All the ministers are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Baiguan stood up.

Zhou Chen looked down at the civil and military officials below, and saw that the number of officials was less, and the officials had also changed.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing."

A sharp voice sounded.

The person who shouted this sentence was none other than Cao Shaoqin.

When Cao Zhengchun was not there, Cao Shaoqin naturally replaced Cao Zhengchun and followed the emperor Zhou Chen to court.

The civil and military officials below heard Cao Shaoqin's sharp voice, and they all looked at Cao Shaoqin secretly.

They have seen Cao Zhengchun, the chief supervisor of the East Factory.

But Cao Shaoqin, the second governor of the East Factory, they have always only heard of his name and never met him.

Only today did they see the true face of Cao Shaoqin, the second governor of the East Factory.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do."

As soon as Cao Shaoqin's voice fell, Liu Ye, Minister of Industry, stood up and said loudly.

The other civil and military officials were slightly surprised when they saw Liu Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was the first to stand up and perform.

In the past, many officials would not care too much about the Minister of Industry and Commerce.

Although Gongbu Shangshu is also one of the six major Shangshu, compared with the other five major Shangshu, the things that Gongbu Shangshu usually play are not noticed by officials.

But things are different now. Liu Ye, Minister of Industry and Commerce, is in charge of checking the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In the past few days, how many officials have been captured by Liu Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and thrown into prison.

Among them are some important veterans.

Therefore, no one will despise the matter that Liu Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up to play.

"Liu Ye, what do you want to play?"

Zhou Chen looked at Liu Ye and asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, the minister and the Minister of Punishment, Master Zheng, have ordered to investigate the Ministry of Households."

"In the past few days, the minister has found a lot of officials."

"Some of these officials have confessed to Lord Zheng."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Zheng, the Minister of Punishment, was actually one of those corrupt officials, and he was also corrupt and perverted the law."

"This is some evidence that the minister found out that Mr. Zheng was corrupt and perverted the law."

"Please, Your Majesty, take a look."

Liu Ye took out a piece of evidence and said loudly.

All the civil and military officials in the hall changed their expressions when they heard Liu Ye's words.

No one expected that Liu Ye would find out the minister of punishment who was also in charge of investigating the household department.

This is really shocking.

Even the Prime Minister Yuan Bo's expression changed.

Fan Yongdou, the Minister of the Household, had already been folded because of this incident. If the Minister of Punishment was also taken down because of corruption, then the plan of the three major families and the King of Shu would only be supported by his prime minister.

As the party's minister of punishment, after hearing Liu Ye's words, his face changed greatly.

"Liu Ye, don't spit out blood."

"This official and you are in charge of checking the household department together. Why don't you know that an official confessed that this official was an accomplice?"

"You don't want to frame this official."

The minister of punishment glared at Liu Ye and said loudly.

Then.

The Minister of Punishment directly shouted at Zhou Chen on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, this minister has been wronged!"

"Liu Ye wants to frame his officials."

"Please, Your Majesty, check it out."

As the Minister of Punishment said, he knelt on the ground with a thud.

Zhou Chen on the dragon chair ignored the grievances of the Minister of Punishment, but said expressionlessly, "Bring it up."

Cao Shaoqin, who was standing beside him, immediately went down, took the evidence from Liu Ye's hand, turned around and sent it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took the criminal evidence sent by Liu Ye from Cao Shaoqin, opened it and glanced at it.

Zhou Chen doesn't need to look carefully at the content inside.

Because, this is what Zhou Chen asked Liu Ye to prepare for the Minister of Punishment.

After glancing at the contents of the criminal evidence, Zhou Chen raised his head and sneered at the minister of punishment who was kneeling below.

"Master Zheng."

"My minister of punishment."

"You said you were wronged, and you said Liu Ye framed you."

"Then look at the above things for yourself. Is Liu Ye wronging you, or is Liu Ye really framing you."

Zhou Chen closed the criminal evidence in his hand and threw it ruthlessly in front of Xingbu Shangshu, who was kneeling below.

When the Minister of Punishment heard Long Yi Zhou Chen's sarcastic tone, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came from his heart.

The Minister of Punishment immediately picked up the criminal evidence thrown down by Zhou Chen, opened it and looked at it.

The contents of the crime evidence made the heart of the Minister of Punishment sink to the bottom.

There are not only some criminal evidence of corruption by the Minister of Criminal Justice, but also some criminal evidences of the Minister of Criminal Justice of accepting bribes, unjust and false cases, and other aspects.

In an instant, the Minister of Punishment understood.

In Liu Ye's so-called investigation of the household department, there are officials who confessed that he was the minister of punishment, which is all nonsense.

The real thing was that the emperor Zhou Chen wanted to move him, the minister of punishment.

Liu Ye's investigation of the household department, and the official confession was just to find an excuse for the emperor Zhou Chen to move him, the minister of punishment.

Otherwise, it is impossible for these criminal evidences to be just an inspection of the Ministry of Households. If the officials confessed, they could find out so many things about him, the Minister of Punishment.

It was obvious that he had already prepared something to touch him, the Minister of Punishment.

It's not an impromptu intention, but a premeditated plan.

When the minister of punishment read the evidence in his hand, he knelt softly on the ground and lost his strength.

He knew that his minister of punishment was finished.

Like Fan Yongdou, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, he, the Minister of Punishment, is about to follow in the footsteps of Fan Yongdou, the Minister of the Household.

Seeing that the minister of punishment had finished reading the evidence, Zhou Chen on the dragon chair looked down at the minister of punishment, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"I have nothing to say, sir."

"My lord is guilty."

The Minister of Punishment's eyes flickered for a moment, and he bowed his head to the ground.

The evidence here is ironclad.

What more can he say.

Regarding the attitude of the Minister of Punishment, Zhou Chen on the dragon chair flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Originally, Zhou Chen thought that the Minister of Punishment would make a quibble about it, and at the very least, he had to shout a few times that the minister was wronged.

Unexpectedly, this minister of punishment did not have any sophistry at all, and did not call out a single sentence of injustice, so he just accepted it obediently.

This was somewhat beyond Zhou Chen's expectations.

However, no matter why the Minister of Punishment is so obedient, without sophistry and grievances, Zhou Chen feels that it is not important.

The important thing is that the Minister of Punishment should recognize it.

This also saves trouble.

"Come on."

"Drag it out and put it in the East Factory prison."

"Order Dongchang to immediately inspect the Office of the Minister of Punishment."

Zhou Chen didn't say more, just waved his hand.

Two factory guards walked in, stepped forward and grabbed the minister of punishment, set up the minister of punishment and dragged it outside.

And the Minister of Punishment did not resist from the beginning to the end, not even the slightest struggle.

In this way, the Minister of Punishment was dragged out by the factory guards.

The minister of punishment is different from the minister of household, and he will not take any excessive actions.

Now, their plans have begun to be arranged.

The Minister of Punishment knows that as long as he admits the evidence, insists on it, and holds on until another day, he will be able to see the sun again.

If he acts too much now, he will suffer in the end.

Just like Fan Yongdou, the Minister of the Household, even if the other day succeeds, the Minister of the Household is completely useless.

The Minister of Punishment did not want to completely follow in his footsteps like Fan Yongdou.

Therefore, the Minister of Punishment has no sophistry and grievances, or even resistance and struggle, so that the factory guards are easily dragged out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the minister of punishment was dragged out.

The atmosphere in the main hall was quiet and the needle dropping could be heard.

No one would have imagined that first the Minister of the Household was seized and exterminated, and the nine clans were executed.

Now, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment has also been taken down because of the investigation of corruption in the Ministry of Households.

In just a few days, two important ministers of ministers fell.

This put a lot of pressure on the civil and military officials in the hall.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo's heart is also quite heavy, the two ministers of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Punishment are his most important partners and allies.

Now, not to mention that Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, was raided and exterminated, the minister of punishment was also taken down.

He was the only one left, Yuan Bo.

This thing is weird everywhere.

Especially at the critical juncture of another day, is it really only because of corruption that this person on the dragon chair won the two ministers of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment?

Prime Minister Yuan Bo pondered in his heart.

Zhou Chen on the dragon chair glanced at the civil and military officials below with a cold expression, and said, "I didn't expect that the investigation of the Ministry of Households is just the beginning, so many officials have already been investigated."

"There are even two important ministers involved in it."

"It just makes me a little unbelievable."

"Are the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty already corrupted to such a degree?"

Under Zhou Chen's eagle-like gaze, all civil and military officials lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath.

After Zhou Chen glanced around, he said sternly to Liu Ye, "Liu Ye."

"Continue the investigation for me~www.wuxiahere.com~ I want to see, how many worms are there in the courthouse of this week?"

As soon as the words came out.

The hearts of the civil and military officials in the hall could not help but tremble.

In the past few days, the Ministry of Households has found many officials, and today even the Ministry of Justice has been taken down.

Continue to check.

Could it be that His Majesty really wants to thoroughly clean the court?

Even the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian and the Minister of War and the others frowned and were worried.

Such a wanton inspection would put all officials at risk.

"The minister obeys the order."

Liu Ye bowed to take orders.
