    ,

    Nanjing, Forbidden City, Yingmin Hall.

    Plum and Zhuyou were uneasy, and looked at the emperor from time to time, but did not see the emperor getting angry.

    After reading their investigation report, the emperor didn't say a word, but stared outside the palace in a daze.  It was so calm, without a single sound, like the night before a storm.

    Finally, Zhao Han withdrew his gaze and stopped staring at the open space in front of the hall.

    Zhao Han asked: "How many reliable police officers in the prefectural city of Quzhou, including the judges in the court?"

    Mei Zhuyou said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't figure this out."

    Zhao Han sighed and said, "Oh, you don't need to go to Hangzhou to recruit officials, you recruit peasants and soldiers on the spot in Quzhou Prefecture. Don't make secret investigations, arrest people directly and interrogate them separately. After the clues have been interrogated, I will let Xiao Huan personally decide the case.  "

    "Follow the order!"

    Plum and bamboo friends don't know whether to be excited or afraid.

    ?Integrity officials inspect places, usually with the cooperation of local officials.  This is the first time that peasants and soldiers have been directly recruited locally to handle affairs. It is obvious that the emperor no longer trusts Quzhou officials.

    Mei Zhuyou left the Forbidden City and rushed back to Quzhou by fast boat.

    Zhao Han asked Ding Shijing, who was recording his daily notes: "Are any of your clan members serving as officials?"

    Ding Shijing didn't know the details of the case, he only guessed that there must be a big case.  He put down his writing brush and said, "Your Majesty, although I was born in a poor family and was treated with cold eyes when I was young, after becoming an official, some members of the clan also appeared. One clan uncle is serving as county magistrate, and another clan brother is serving as county magistrate."

    Zhao Han asked again: "If one day you become a minister, will your clan uncles and brothers use your cover to do evil in the local area?"

    "This" Ding Shijing thought about it carefully, and finally said, "Uncle Chenna is upright and rigorous, and he will definitely not act like this. But brother Chenna has a good face and an out-of-the-box personality. If I become a minister, he will  Don't take bribes and break the law, and will publicize your relationship with your ministers everywhere."

    Zhao Han asked: "If your clan brother commits crimes and uses your name to commit crimes, how should you be punished?"

    "This this" Ding Shijing had already guessed that the family members of a certain important official had broken the law. How could he dare to speak nonsense, he could only ambiguously say, "The official lives in Nanjing and has not been in contact with the clan for a long time. The clan uses the name of the minister  Evil, I really don¡¯t know about it, and if I get severely punished because of this, I must feel very wronged. But the state has national laws, and if it is really implicated by the clansmen, I have nothing to say."

    Zhao Han turned to Li Xiangjun and said, "Call Xiao Huan here."

    Li Xiangjun left Yingmin Hall and sent a female official to pass the message.

    About an hour later, Xiao Huan rushed over, cupped his hands and said, "Kowtow to Your Majesty."

    Zhao Han pointed to the investigation report of the anti-corruption officer: "You can read it yourself."

    Xiao Huan took the report back and sat down to read it carefully. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

    In terms of the facts of the case alone, the case in Henan last year was even worse. The grain transfer system in the whole province was almost broken, and the amount of money and food involved was astronomical.

    However, the thunderstorm in Quzhou prefecture firstly implicated several central government officials, and secondly involved occupation of land for mining.

    In the new dynasty of Datong, the land has always been a red line, and anyone who dares to step over half a foot will die.

    Zhao Han said: "I can trust Li Aiqing (Li Banghua). He must have been ignorant and used by his tribe. What is your impression of Zheng Tongfu?"

    Xiao Huan replied: "Zheng Tongfu is a capable official and extremely diligent. He has not returned to his hometown for several years and has been an official in the capital. In the Ministry of Industry, he came the earliest every day until  He will only leave when it is dark. There is no mistake or omission in the projects he has handled. He is usually on vacation, either resting at home or going to the Wenhua Palace to borrow books. He has never been to the Qinhuai River, and he has never participated in any literary meetings.  He can be regarded as a role model for officials. I forgive you bluntly, Zheng Tongfuit's a pity that he met such bad parents."

    "That's why I'm so sad," Zhao Han said with a sad and angry expression on his face, "Zheng Tongfu is hardworking, capable, honest, and an insurgent scholar. Such a perfect official will surely become an official within ten years."  Shang Shu, I will personally promote him to be Shang Shu. What kind of father is this? Is there anyone who deceives his son? His father even said that the surname of Tianxia is Zhao, and the surname of Quzhou is Zheng. Does the Zheng family want to rebel! "

    Xiao Huan was silent.

    Zhao Han asked again: "Where is Liu Anfeng?"

    Xiao Huan said: "Liu Anfeng is a close friend of Chen Shangshu (Chen Maosheng)."

    Chen Maosheng's best friend, this is not an answer, but it is better than an answer.

    Chen Maosheng is a staunch revolutionary, has not changed, has always been so pure, and has offended many colleagues in recent years.

    Manchu civil and militaryAfter becoming an official, the people from the tribe came to cling to him.  The minister restrains the family, and must not get involved with the same clan, nor give favoritism to the same clan.  That Liu Anyong should really be killed, but he has nothing to do with the minister.  The minister is innocent, and there is no room for such stains"

    Having said that, Liu Anfeng took off his official hat, knelt down and kowtowed: "I request you to resign and return home!"

    There was dead silence in the hall, and the Minister of the Household Department actually resigned.

    Chen Maosheng got up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that Liu Shangshu will never condone the tribe."

    Li Banghua sighed, took off his official hat and knelt down: "I invite you to be an official!"

    Well, the matter has exploded, and the second assistant to the cabinet will also resign.

    Zhao Han half-closed his eyes and said angrily, "Are you threatening me?"

    "Don't dare!"

    Li Banghua and Liu Anfeng answered in unison.

    Zhao Han asked Xiao Huan: "Has the Quzhou case been verified?"

    Xiao Huan replied: "Basically, it has been verified, and the arrest has been ordered. The charges mentioned by the minister just now are definitely not wrong. After the arrest and interrogation, new cases may be involved."

    "Then, without waiting for the case in Quzhou to be concluded, I will personally decide the officials involved in the central government," Zhao Han glanced at the ministers, "Li Banghua, the second minister of the cabinet, is not strict in his family management, and has lost his title and added officials.  .Retain the secondary assistant position, and pay a three-month fine. If there is any corruption among members of his clan, he will be dismissed immediately and return to his hometown!"

    Xiao Huan was taken aback, and suddenly raised his head to look at the emperor.

    Officer Cao, who was recording the content of the court meeting, also trembled with fright, and a ball of ink was fainted on the paper.

    Conquering nobles, there are not many nobles in the Datong New Dynasty, and there are some who are not officials like Zheng Zhilong.  Directly winning the title, the punishment is already extremely severe.

    As for the promotion, Li Banghua's promotion is the Prince Shaoshi, which is also an extremely honorable title.

    The promotion was also taken away!

    What did Li Banghua do?

    He is a grandniece of a clan who is only married to Zheng Hongyi's son.

    Li Banghua has lived in Nanjing for several years, and has many nephews in his family. He probably doesn't know about this marriage.

    Xiao Huan really wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only sit there in a daze.

    Other officials did not dare to intercede.

    Zhao Han also said: "Liu Anfeng, who is not strict in family management, was demoted to one level, and was dismissed from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Change it to what, let the Ministry of Officials arrange it!"

    Liu Anfeng roared angrily: "Your Majesty, please resign! If you are not lax in managing your family, don't be so stigmatized!"

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully: "Okay, you can retire."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Liu Anfeng picked up his official hat, returned to his seat and sat down.

    Zhao Han continued: "Zheng Tongfu, demoted to five ranks, transferred to Luzon, and not allowed to return for ten years!"

    This man is completely devastated.

    Although the Ministry of Industry and Construction Division Langzhong is only the fifth rank, he is a real position with real power, and his status crushes the magistrate of the fourth rank.

    Moreover, Zheng Tongfu, as the head of the Youshui Yamen, was honest, capable and diligent, and had long been remembered by the emperor.  This kind of person, as long as he lives another twenty years, he will be a minister at worst, and maybe he can be the chief assistant!

    Now he has been demoted to five ranks and thrown to Luzon, plus he is not allowed to return to the court for ten years.

    This is more cruel than killing him directly!

    Zheng Tongfu's soul has been shelled out, like a dead body, and he can't hear what Zhao Han said at all.

    The next day, Zhao Han received news that Zheng Tongfu committed suicide at home.
