The situation took a sudden turn for the worse, which no one expected.
When the news first broke, many people thought that things would not develop to this extent. But in just a few days, things have developed to this extent.
As Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to retain him, everyone knew that there was no possibility of things changing this time.
The several cabinet ministers who were persuaded to stay submitted their farewell letters again as soon as possible, and Zhu Youxiao still issued an edict to persuade them to stay.
After only three times, on the fourth time, Zhu Youxiao issued an imperial decree allowing them to take their leave, and the three cabinet ministers went home directly.
Although Zhu Youxiao also gave the three cabinet ministers the treatment they deserved, the fact was that they left.
This incident had a huge impact on the court and the country. Three grand secretaries left the cabinet at once, and everyone in the court knew that things were going to change.
Aside from the three cabinet ministers, the rest of the people also submitted their petitions, and the results were the same. After three attempts, Zhu Youxiao approved all of them.
The cabinet was suddenly empty, with only Liu Yijing and Han Yu left.
Things have reached a point of no return.
As the wind direction changed, the impeachment targets Liu Yijing and Han Yu.
Then Liu Yijing and Han Yu also submitted their farewell letters, and the matter officially reached its climax.
At the same time, inside the East Factory, the case was being investigated very quickly.
Wei Zhongxian flipped through the confession in his hand and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Unlike before, this time Wei Zhongxian did not sit down, but stood there to watch. It was not that Wei Zhongxian did not want to sit down, but that he was still injured and could not sit down.
"Very good, you continue. Let's go to the palace." After saying this, Wei Zhongxian left. He walked slowly, as if he could just grow wings and fly to the palace.
Sun Yunhe stood there, his face full of joy. Although his eyes were a little red, proving that the trial was indeed very tiring, he was still excited.
Because of this incident, the rise of the East Factory was completely announced.
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian, fiddling with the confession in his hand, with no expression on his face.
In fact, this was something Zhu Youxiao had anticipated long ago. He had anticipated this step from the very beginning of his plan. Even the departure of the cabinet minister was within his expectations. This was the case throughout the court.
This purge implicated many people.
Starting with the six ministries, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue were all involved. The only ones left were the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Personnel. However, they were only staying out of it temporarily and would still be involved later.
In addition, the Censorate has also been almost cleaned up.
At this point, the net can basically be closed and the candidates arranged by yourself can come in.
The remaining people selected can be used temporarily. As for whether these people will be used in the future, it depends on their future performance.
Putting down the confession in his hand, Zhu Youxiao said, "Minister of War Cui Jingrong is imprisoned, and Minister of Revenue Wang Ji is also imprisoned. The East Factory must investigate their case as soon as possible and give an explanation to the people of the world."
After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian suddenly became excited and knelt on the ground and said, "I will do it right away."
This was the first time that Wei Zhongxian overthrew the six ministers, and two at once.
This was a great advancement for Wei Zhongxian, the establishment of his authority. For Wei Zhongxian, this was the starting point of his career and also his revenge, so he couldn't help but be excited.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Wei Zhongxian turned and left.
Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Chen Hong, "Has the date for my wedding been set? Has the Imperial Observatory calculated a date?"
For Zhu Youxiao, when he was in such a good mood, he naturally wanted to talk about something happy.
Chen Hong quickly said, "Your Majesty, the petition has been submitted. It's here."
As he spoke, Chen Hong handed over the question book and stood aside respectfully.
Opening the question book, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and set the date as April 17th.
As for whether it was a good day or not, Zhu Youxiao was not sure. But it was not important. What was important was that he could finally get married again, the second time in two lifetimes. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao smiled self-deprecatingly.
Putting the paper down, Zhu Youxiao said, "Now that the date has been chosen, let's prepare as soon as possible."
The emperor's wedding was naturally not a simple one, but the current situation did not allow for too much complexity, after all, Zhu Youxiao had just ascended the throne. This was an important matter that needed to be done and implemented as soon as possible.
Chen Hong's face was filled with joy, and he said excitedly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Cabinet duty room.
The cabinet duty room, which was originally bustling with people, now seemed a little deserted. Many tables were empty, leaving only Liu Yijing and Han Yu.
At this time, someone came in from outside.
"Lord, His Majesty has just issued an order for the Eastern Depot to arrest Minister of War Cui Jingrong and Minister of Revenue Wang Ji."
After hearing this, Han Yu and Liu Yijing nodded at the same time, indicating that they understood.
They glanced at each other, neither of them expressing their opinion. They had no way of saying anything about this matter, no way of stopping it.
Of the 1 million taels of silver in military pay, only 700,000 taels were left after leaving the capital. There was no way to wash away this matter.
Now that everything has been investigated clearly, the two people, Minister of War Cui Jingrong and Minister of Revenue Wang Ji, will definitely be dealt with. The only problem is how to deal with them.
