Because Han Yu realized a problem. His Majesty was going to use Cui Chengxiu, which was a very bad signal.
Because Han Yu could see that Cui Chengxiu was a cruel official, and His Majesty was going to use a cruel official!
Imagine those cruel officials in history, imagine Lai Junchen, imagine Zhou Xing. If these cruel officials came to power, what would be the fate of loyal people like us?
Han Yu also knew why His Majesty wanted to use them. It was because His Majesty felt that no one in the court was obedient, and that the people who were investigating the case were shielding the criminals and forming cliques for personal gain. They were trying to give lenient sentences to those who should have been severely punished.
But even so, Your Majesty cannot use Cui Chengxiu.
"Your Majesty, everything has a cause, and crimes have different degrees of severity. How can we generalize? I believe that this matter must be treated differently. How can it be treated so lightly?" After Han Yu said this, he turned and stepped aside, with no intention of arguing with Cui Chengxiu.
In fact, Han Yu didn't need to argue with Cui Chengxiu. He was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and Cui Chengxiu couldn't reach him at all, so he chose to ignore him.
Even if he cared about her, Han Yu would not give Cui Chengxiu the opportunity to cheat him.
Zhu Youxiao's fingers continued to tap on the table, and there was no change in his facial expression.
The knocking sounds echoed in the house, and seemed to knock on everyone's hearts, making them tremble.
No one could tell what the Emperor was thinking, but everyone knew that he was very unhappy at the moment.
"Let's investigate the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War first," Zhu Youxiao said again. "Six ministries have actually caused such a thing. And the Ministry of Works has not yet been thoroughly investigated. I really don't know how many things in this Ming Dynasty are still unknown to me!"
"Let the East Factory investigate!" Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly, "As for the Donglin Party case, we can draw a conclusion. Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen, their property will be confiscated, and their entire families will be exiled to Liaodong. Since they were officials in Liaodong before, they should go and see how the lower-class soldiers in Liaodong live, so as to avoid feeling wronged all day long.
"The rest of you will be beheaded on a later date." Zhu Youxiao said this and stood up. "Everyone, do as I say."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone bowed hurriedly, their expressions somewhat complicated.
Your Majesty had finally killed someone. Although Wang Huazhen and Yuan Yingtai were spared, their property was confiscated and their entire family was exiled to Liaodong, which was already a very severe punishment for them.
After returning to the bedroom, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch with no expression on his face.
The reason why Zhu Youxiao let Yuan Yingtai go this time was not because of other people's pleas, nor because of Han Yu's words, but because Yuan Yingtai did something.
Yuan Yingtai secretly compensated the money he embezzled by buying grain and fodder of the corresponding amount. This was an official with a bottom line, but the Ming officialdom did not allow him to have a bottom line.
As for the original historical defeat, it was Yuan Yingtai's responsibility. However, Yuan Yingtai did not lose the battle in this life because Zhu Youxiao did not give him the opportunity.
Yuan Yingtai was not a qualified general, nor was he suitable for fighting, but he did some things very well. As an official who was in charge of military rations and military equipment in Jizhou and Liaodong, Yuan Yingtai did an excellent job.
Whether it was organizing the transportation or allocating materials, there were never any problems. They were all delivered on time, with guaranteed quality and quantity. Such officials were actually rare. Yuan Yingtai also presided over the repair of a river embankment, and completed it on time with guaranteed quality and quantity.
Yuan Yingtai was an official who was not suitable for fighting but was suitable for managing logistics.
First, send Yuan Yingtai to Liaodong. Whether he survives depends on his luck. Whether Zhu Youxiao will use Yuan Yingtai in the future depends on the situation. Today it is like this, tomorrow it will be like that. No one knows how things will change.
The news spread quickly, causing an uproar throughout the government and the country.
In particular, the cases of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue were given to Wei Zhongxian for review, which made countless people extremely scared and terrified.
Of course there were also happy people, such as Wei Zhongxian.
When the news reached the East Factory, Wei Zhongxian, who was lying in bed recovering from his injuries, was so happy that he almost jumped up. Although his buttocks were still painful, Wei Zhongxian's expression was very different from before.
"Take your men with you to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue and bring back all the officials responsible for the handover. We're going to teach them a lesson this time."
Things have developed to this point today, and it has actually reached the point where killing is necessary to establish authority.
The East Factory flew out in all directions, and the entire capital was in chaos. Countless people began to be arrested, and the East Factory was busy every day. Although the people arrested now were minor officials or clerks, everyone knew that the arrest of big figures was still to come.
In addition, the Jinyiwei suddenly made some moves and made progress in the case of the late emperor.
It seemed that Li Kezhuo had made a breakthrough. After entering the Jinyiwei prison, it took only three days for Li Kezhuo to confess.
However, Li Kezhuo did not admit that he had killed the king, but he admitted another thing, that is, these people formed a clique for personal gain.
After this news came out, there was an uproar throughout North Korea.
The Donglin Clan's case of forming a clique for personal gain hadn't been fully investigated, and yet another case had surfaced. Starting with Fang Congzhe, many officials in the court were implicated, with several cabinet ministers being the immediate target.
