Wang Dengku's face turned grim as he looked at Cui Yingyuan. He stood up and said, "You are so perverse, don't you fear the law? You treacherous ministers and rebellious sons will be punished sooner or later!"
After hearing this, Cui Yingyuan immediately laughed and said, "How dare you say such things about me? I am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, unlike you who sell out your country for personal gain. You are simply guilty of a thousand deaths!"
After saying this, Cui Yingyuan seemed to feel a little bored and simply waved his hand.
Looking at Wang Dengku, Cui Yingyuan said impatiently, "Forget it, I won't say anything. It's useless to say anything. Can I convince you with words? People in this world are like this. You can never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep."
After hearing this, Wang Dengku was stunned, and then asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry about that. Just follow me." Cui Yingyuan said with a smile, "You'll understand when we get there."
The arrest of Wang Dengku marks the official start of the anti-corruption campaign around Zhangjiakou.
Groups of people began to surface. Not only were the merchants who sold out their country for personal gain arrested, but all the officials and military generals in Zhangjiakou were also arrested.
This operation was very swift and achieved excellent results. After all, the planning had begun about half a year ago, and the personnel arrangements had already been in place, so this operation was basically smooth sailing.
Even if some in the army were dissatisfied, it was useless. After all, the Ming Dynasty was becoming increasingly powerful, and the imperial army was also becoming increasingly powerful. Many generals on the border also knew that although the imperial court's situation was not very good, it was much better than before.
After all, although not all of the money Sun Chengzong requested had arrived, some of it had come. Life on the border had become much better, with the court providing a lot of food, and the military morale was relatively stable.
In addition, the border here was relatively peaceful, so life was relatively easy. The officers did not cause trouble, and the military households under them did not cause trouble either, so there were no major setbacks.
Before the world was in chaos, no one dared to rebel openly, as that would be courting death. Moreover, there were still some impartial people in the army who could ensure the effective operation of the army.
Suddenly, arrests were rampant throughout the North. The Jinyiwei were dispatched everywhere, and their reputation quickly soared.
However, the situation in the capital was not very good at this time.
Public opinion has fermented very strongly, and many people have begun to criticize the Jinyiwei.
On the one hand, these people were involved in business with the North, and on the other hand, they were all in a state of panic. After all, the business they were doing was not very glorious, and if they were really held accountable, it would be very troublesome.
Although we don't want to save those people in the north, we must also stop the court from doing such things again.
For a time, public opinion was boiling, and officials at the court were also very troubled. However, everyone at the top knew that it was the emperor's doing, and they didn't have any better solutions.
In the cabinet.
The three cabinet ministers are in meeting again.
Since Sun Chengzong left the General Staff Office, there were only three cabinet ministers left in the cabinet. Although there was news that "non-Hanlin scholars can also join the cabinet", His Majesty did not seem to have any intention of adding more information, which made people a little confused.
However, Xu Guangqi was not alone and unable to support himself, after all, he had the support of His Majesty.
This time the three of them gathered together to discuss matters in the north. The situation at the court was very complicated, and some matters required the three of them to handle.
Since His Majesty was not in the capital, their power had increased significantly. However, no one dared to act recklessly, and no one knew what His Majesty had said before he left.
After all, besides them, there is also a General Staff Office.
Among the ministers in the General Staff Office, there are ruthless people like Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, who should not be underestimated at all.
"What's the situation outside?" Han Yu looked at Xu Guangqi and asked directly.
Han Yu is actually a little overwhelmed now. His Majesty has caused such a big mess in the north, and the capital is in such chaos now. Without His Majesty in charge, Han Yu really feels a little insecure.
Xu Guangqi glanced at Han Yu. He looked down upon this irresponsible chief minister of the cabinet and didn't know why the emperor still wanted to use him.
However, Xu Guangqi also knew that he couldn't argue with Han Yu at this time. After a moment's silence, Xu Guangqi said, "Someone from Shuntian Prefecture just reported that there was a fight in the city."
After hearing this, Han Yu's expression turned grim, and he asked, "How does Chen Qiyu do things?"
This Chen Qiuyu can be said to be your Majesty's confidant. He emerged as a rising star in the incident of Prince Fu of Henan, and was subsequently highly valued by your Majesty and directly took the position of the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.
Originally, everyone wanted to just watch the fun. After all, what kind of achievements could such a young man achieve when he sits in such a high position at such a young age?
Moreover, having suddenly obtained such a high position, this person will definitely become arrogant, and then he will slap Your Majesty in the face.
But the fact was beyond everyone's expectation. After Chen Qiuyu took the position of Shuntian Prefecture Governor, he managed Shuntian Prefecture in an orderly manner. He was also a modest and fair person. He was simply a very suitable candidate for an official.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible to deal with him. However, many people also realized that Chen Qiyu was a capable person.
Han Yu also knew that Chen Qiyu had always been very confident in the governance of Shuntian Prefecture. It was precisely because of this that Han Yu said this.
After all, it is impossible for a person who has always been confident to suddenly do something uncertain, unless this person loses his wisdom.
