"This subject is guilty!"
The Assistant Minister of Rites, Zhou Daodeng, was the first to kneel down!
"This subject is guilty!"
Wang Yuanhan, the head of the Ministry of Justice, followed closely behind!
"This subject is guilty!"
The Deputy of the Supreme Court, Zhang Zhifa, bowed his head in apology!
"This subject is guilty!"
……
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the 45 court officials knelt down!
There was Donglin, there was Zhechu, from this moment on, everything was written off!
"Anything else?"
Zhu Youxiao's faint voice sounded, and dozens of officials broke out in cold sweat!
Looking at the expressionless monarch behind the crown, all the officials raised their heads and wanted to ask,"
"Isn't that enough?"
"Liu Qiao!"
"Your subject is here!"
"All officials who plead guilty will be thrown into the imperial prison first. After the Qing Dynasty ransacked their families, they will be recorded and dismissed from office.”
"This lowly subject obeys!"
Liu Qiao waved his hand, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards carried away the officials who had no strength in their limbs!
There was no smile!
No tears!
There was only bitterness!
Ten years of hard work, one day success, ten years of caution, all turned into bubbles!
Fortunately, he was still alive!
The Imperial Palace was empty!
There were less than half a hundred people in the huge Imperial Court!
Big Ming's upper echelons were empty!
Not enough!
Not enough!
Not enough!
Zhu Youxiao was so angry that he laughed. His eyes fell on the inspector's office and he said coldly,"Liu Qiao, state your crimes!"
"Left Imperial Censor Qi Shijiao, established a clique, embezzled and accepted bribes, framed loyal officials, appointed people by favoritism, and eliminated dissidents!”
Liu Qiao took out dozens of letters from the brightest part of the box and threw them at the Left Imperial Censor's feet. He smiled sinisterly and said,""Censor Qi of the Qi Poetry School, these are all your crimes, is that true?”
Familiar handwriting!
A familiar signature!
A familiar gift list!
It turned out that the Embroidered Uniform Guards had already infiltrated the Left Imperial Censor's Office like a sieve. Although it was already the beginning of summer, Qi Shijiao suddenly felt a little cold!
He was cold!
The Qi Party officials were cold!
The remaining officials were even colder!
"Kill the donkey when you're done grinding!"
This idiom rang out among all the officials!
Not long ago, the Emperor had used the sharp knife of the Qi Poetry School to drive away the Grand Secretary of the Profound Language Pavilion and then gave the death of the Grand Secretary of the cabinet!
Now, the blood of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet in the hall had not dried yet. The Emperor took out a sword and slashed it on the bloodstained sharp knife!
"He deserves it!"
The second phrase rang out in all the officials 'ears!
Ever since Qi Poetic School became the censor of the Left Capital, in order to expand the Qi Party's power and voice, they had wantonly filled the Inspectorate with students, but instead used groundless accusations to frame the Chu Party members!
Other than that, the Qi Poetry Sect had spoken several times in the hall today, eliminating Wei Zhongxian, chasing away Zhu Guozuo, and killing Han Fei. Perhaps these people deserved to die ten thousand deaths, but the Qi Poetry Sect was also a complete " traitor "!
To incur this disaster!
Serves him right!
"I accept my punishment!"
Enlightenment surged into his heart. The Qi Poetry School seemed to have aged by decades, their spirit, energy, and spirit were declining, like an old man who was about to die!
This was all a trap!
From his Qi Poetry School's recommendation, to his appointment as the Imperial Censor of the Left Capital, to his wanton suppression of the Chu Party, to the elimination of the eunuch party, Donglin Party, and Zhe Party, it was all a trap!
The Qi Party's " false prosperity " had caused the Qi Poetry Sect to bury decades of factional strife in the officialdom!
Eastwood had fallen!
The Zhe Party had fallen!
The end of the Chu Party!
The Qi Party had finally come to an end!
"Left Imperial Censor Qi Shijiao has committed a heinous crime. On account of his hard work, he is dismissed from office and allowed to return home in glory!”
Hmm?
Qi Shi Jiao was stunned!
The Qi Party official was stunned!
The remaining officials were also stunned!
It was a heinous crime!
Hard work!
Return home in glory!
The ending was unexpected!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qi Shi Jiao took off his official hat and took off his court clothes. He left the Imperial Palace alone, beaming with joy!
Looking at all the civil and military officials in the court, this was the best ending!
"This subject is guilty!"
The leader had fallen, and the Qi Party officials could no longer stand Liu Qiao's gaze that was like looking at a fat pig. They knelt on the ground one after another!
"We are willing to hand over all our assets. I hope Your Majesty will pity our hard work and allow us to return home!
We are willing to enter Mount Wutai to shave our hair and become monks. We will always accompany the ancient Buddha with green lamps and pray for His Majesty, the people and the Ming Dynasty day and night!”
The Qi Party's elder, Taichang Temple's Shaoqing Zhou Yongchun, was a smart person. Seeing that things were hopeless, he chose to give up everything in order to save his life!
Shave your hair and become a monk!
From now on, he would accompany the cold ancient Buddha!
"Hehe, Zhou Shaoqing, you are a famous playboy in the capital. You are proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. How can you accept the rules of Buddhism?”
Even though he was thinking about it, someone did not plan to let him go. The Commander of the Brocade Guard, Liu Qiao, was very envious of his past playfulness.
Run?
Could he escape?
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"
After being exposed, Zhou Yongchun was not only furious, but also terrified. He knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, as if he was repenting,""I know that I have sinned greatly. I hope Your Majesty will give me a chance to atone for my sins!”
"No!"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said indifferently,""I gave you a chance before, but you didn't grasp it.
There were also the other Qi Party officials who had committed major crimes.”
"This lowly subject obeys the decree!"
Liu Qiao personally carried Zhou Yongchun, who was screaming for mercy, out of the hall. Not long after, the Hundred Households of the Brocade Guards were dispatched and all the guilty officials of the Qi Party were taken away!
The Imperial Palace was completely empty!
Big Ming's upper echelons were completely empty!
Only thirty-two officials remained in the huge court, which was not even a fraction of what it used to be!
"My emperor is wise!"
Led by Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, dozens of officials bowed and knelt."My Emperor is tyrannical!"
"Historian, record today's events in detail in the 'National History' for future generations to remember!”
"This lowly subject obeys the decree!"
The historian, who was shivering in the corner of the hall, was stunned. Then, he walked out as if he had been injected with chicken blood!
Haha, it's time for this historian to write a book!
When he walked to the center of the hall, he had already thought of the title of the book!
"Tyrant Emperor, purge the crafty court!"》
"The imperial physician is ordered to visit the chief assistant. If the chief assistant is fine, he is ordered to return to the cabinet immediately and select people with ambition and insight from the candidate candidates to fill the vacancies in the court and prevent the country from stagnating!”
"It is decreed that the talents of the country are dwindling. Although the previous cabinet assistant Fang Congzhe has made mistakes, he is allowed to return to the capital as the Minister of Rites and temporarily replace the cabinet assistant to assist the chief assistant in the difficult times!”
F * ck!
At this moment, the honest officials cursed in their hearts at the same time!
The chief assistant is fine!
The second assistant was reinstated!
After the royal court was cleaned up, the higher-ups had returned!
Unconsciously, the honest officials looked at the emperor with different eyes!
If the chief assistant and the second assistant were here, they would definitely say something in the face of the purge, but no matter how they said it, it was wrong!
Could it be that he was deliberately protecting the chief assistant and the second assistant?
