Qiming Hall
A group of ministers were noisily cursing loudly below the court, scolding Si Chen, Empress Wei, and Empress Wu for stealing the throne. The curses were actually nothing new. They were all things that happened many years ago and were used by countless people. Said idioms.
Qiao Mu was a little tired of hearing this.
They all cursed loudly, but no one hit the pillar and died on the spot, and followed the late emperor.
After a long time, when some ministers already wanted to step forward and take action, and even wanted to leave the Kaiming Palace to find someone to mobilize troops, Qiao Mu then sat on the dragon chair wearing a phoenix robe and asked in a loud voice:
¡°For those of you who are dissatisfied, take a step forward!
I can give you a ride to see the late emperor, which will be considered as fulfilling the duty of a monarch and his ministers. "
The ministers present may have really felt that Qiao Mu was a woman, not so bold, not so bloody and violent, so for a while, most of them took a step forward, held their heads high and cursed.
Qiao Mu laughed:
¡°You are so welcome!
Kill them all, and leave no one alive.
Oh, by the way, Xianggong Han has a higher status at least, so leave his body intact and strangle him to death. "
After saying that, Qiao Mu closed her eyes slightly and no longer looked at the tragic scene below. The Imperial Guards she brought over had seen evidence of corruption and bribery by officials and condoning their family members' misdeeds in advance, so they didn't have anything to bear or feel. Those who said they didn't dare, on the contrary, were filled with righteous indignation and quickly struck cruelly, stabbing one by one, causing heads to roll around, ensuring that everyone was covered in blood.
And Xianggong Han received special preferential treatment.
The deputy leader of the Forbidden Army personally strangled him. Because this was a sudden order from Qiao Mu, he did not prepare a rope. He could only pull out the waistband of Han Xianggong and use it as a hanging rope to strangle him.
For a moment, there were screams.
The same goes for the cry of apology and mercy.
Of all the officials who came forward, only two survived, the two from the Hanlin Academy whom Qiao Mu had shown the Imperial Army in advance.
¡°Your Majesty, the killing is over!
The remaining two are the ones you pardoned! "
After killing someone, it is natural to report it.
It was only then that Qiao Mu opened his eyes again and looked around at the pile of corpses below again, as well as the remaining officials who had not been killed but were all paralyzed with fear. Some of them were even scared to the point of peeing, and once again gave instructions to the internal prison guards. road:
¡°Send someone to clean it up. It¡¯s bloody and affects your appetite. Drag them out and burn them together later.
Do you two know why I am willing to spare your lives? Then you have to thank you for keeping your conscience. I checked and found that among all the ministers present, you are the only two who have never accepted a bribe. Everyone in your family has also behaved themselves and has not done anything corrupt or bend the law. This is all. , I am also willing to spare you.
Commander, except for these two, take all the remaining officials into custody. We will see what is taken from their homes later to convict them. Whether they should be exiled or beheaded. Wait until the alternate officials from Shanghai arrive tomorrow. Say it again.
The reason why Qiao Mu dared to kill almost all the ministers in the DPRK at once, and was not worried at all that the lack of officials would cause some things to get out of control, was because she had already prepared substitute officials. After killing these officials, it was just time for those substitute officials to come up. Although those substitute officials have only learned relevant knowledge for about ten years, they have learned all professional knowledge. In some aspects, their insights are no worse than those of officials who have been with them for a long time, or even better. It wouldn't be a problem for the officials to bring him over for a while. Whether they can stay in office depends on the actual results of those substitute officials. If there are no problems, they should be able to stay in office.
The Qiaomu side has dispersed, but General Wang who is searching his house outside has not yet dispersed. If he ransacked any house, he would be able to get at least hundreds of thousands of copper coins, and even more than a million silver coins. As for the land village, there are even more. One hundred thousand hectares of land title deeds were copied from the Han Xianggong's mansion alone. This is still copied. It is not known whether there is anything hidden. There are more antiques and treasures. They were moving out box after box, and there were so many.
They were busy from the time the bell rang in the morning until it got dark at night. Then they finally searched all the homes of the ministers, nobles and clan members. Of course, not much money was found in those homes. General Wang's He didn't move at all, and he even apologized.
This was obviously not his own idea. This was what Qiao Mu told him before he left. After all, if it really happenedIf nothing can be found after searching a house, that can be regarded as really honest. There is no need to specifically target such officials. Instead, they should be rewarded and encouraged.
You must know that officials in the Song Dynasty themselves had money to support integrity, and their salaries were not low. The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were incomparable to those in the Song Dynasty, and they did not have money to support integrity. However, high salaries to support integrity are actually of no use. Those who should be greedy will still be greedy. , the most I can say is that the amount of corruption is less and not so crazy. Qiao Mu is really deeply saddened by such high-paid officials who are honest and corrupt. He wanted to take action many years ago, and he has been able to tolerate it until now. .
Naturally, all those who are arrested will not receive good treatment. If the prison in Dali Temple cannot accommodate them, they will be put in the Lin'an Prefecture Prison. If the Lin'an Prefecture Prison cannot be put in, then they can be imprisoned in any large yard. In short, they cannot be released. than any one.
That night, except for some uninformed common people who could still sleep, most of the people with some status or connections in their families hardly slept. They spent the whole night discussing how to respond and what to do next. Wait, should you resist or obey?
The next day, the manpower trained in the past ten years at Shanghai Wu's education base finally came into use. As soon as they arrived, they were immediately taught separately according to the different subjects they studied in school and their comprehensive scores. official.
Of course, the official positions awarded at the beginning are not very high, and many official positions even have the word "agent" in front of them, which means they are temporary officials. Whether the word "temporary" can be removed later depends on what they will do next. How about it.
After this group of temporary officials arrived and were officially conferred, the major government offices that had been suspended quickly resumed operations, and the detained officials and their families all began to undergo batch reviews and review of their family properties. , to review whether they have done anything illegal in the past, and conduct review and verification in both directions through case files and private investigations.
The entire Lin'an has finally begun to slowly restore order from yesterday's extreme chaos. Judging from the situation, it should be fully restored in half a month at most, and then the surrounding areas can be radiated.
After Qiao Mu finished explaining all the things that needed to be explained, she went to the East Palace in person, communicated with her son Zhao Kuo for an afternoon, and then released him from the East Palace again. He still resumed his original position as the prince and settled in Dali Temple to preside over the investigation. . (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
