Because Xu Jie presided over the looting of corrupt officials.
All the silver, land deeds, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings were registered and returned to the national treasury.
The reason why the anti-corruption campaign was carried out so smoothly this time was because the government had been very strict.
The main reason was that with the cooperation of the East Chamber, the corrupt officials had nowhere to hide.
It was only because the later emperor did not control the East Chamber well that the East Chamber became the eunuch party that brought disaster to the court…

After Zhu Zaihou took a nap, he asked Chen Hong to summon Hai Rui, who had just entered the capital, into the palace.
At this time, Hai Rui was having a drink at Gao Yi's house.
Gao Gong was also present. Since Gao Gong's house caught fire, he had been staying in Gao Yi's house.
Gao Yi was an elder of the three dynasties, and his fame was only above Gao Gong, not below him.
Gao Yi was already sixty-three years old this year, and it was already somewhat inconvenient for him to move around.
Gao Yi was ten years older than Hai Rui.
Hai Rui had received many favors from Gao Yi, and in Hai Rui's eyes, Gao Yi was both a teacher and a friend.
Gao Yi was not feeling well, so he was ready to resign.
However, he was a little worried when he saw the situation in the court change.
Gao Yi was not afraid of a rebellion because the cabinet would naturally deal with it. What he was worried about was that the cabinet would take advantage of the Emperor's young age…
"Lord Gao, if you say that other emperors are easily restrained by powerful ministers, then I have nothing to say."
" But the current Emperor is extraordinary. Xu Jie and Zhang Ju are in the hands of the little Emperor and can't cause any trouble…"
"This…I hope so."
"Brother Hai, you should be careful with your words and actions in this court. Don't go against Xu Jie again.
Everyone knew that Hai Rui and the imperial court officials were not on good terms.
Everyone knew that the little Emperor's promotion of Hai Rui was a way to suppress the censors.
Gao Yi was also aware of this, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Of course, I know. But, Hai Rui doesn't care about sand.”
If Xu Jie is suspected of overstepping his authority, I will certainly refer to him.”
As soon as Hai Rui finished speaking, Chen Hong walked in.
"Hai Rui will participate in whoever oversteps their boundaries!”
Hai Rui did not even look at Chen Hong. Hai Rui had always looked down on eunuchs.
Therefore, he didn't care about Chen Hong at all.
Gao Yi sighed. Hai Rui's weird temper.
Being ostracized by the officials was understandable.
"The Emperor has decreed that Xuan Hairui shall enter the palace to see His Majesty immediately!”
"Your humble subject, Hai Rui, receives the decree!" Hai Rui kowtowed and accepted the edict.
Hai Rui also started to wonder.
Although Hai Rui was famous, his position was not high.
He really didn't know what he did to be able to gain the Emperor's favor.
Chen Hong turned around and walked out. As he walked out, he turned to look at Hai Rui.
He saw Hai Rui eating a few mouthfuls of food and swallowing a few mouthfuls of steamed buns.
"Alright, stop eating. Hurry up and enter the palace with me.”
——
In Xu Jie's mansion.
After Xu Jie handled a few documents, he sat there in silence.
Originally, he had already received Empress Dowager Du's decree that he could become the Emperor's teacher and teach the little Emperor.
From the looks of it, he could only continue to lay low and wait for an opportunity…
……
"Grand Secretary Xu, Hai Rui will definitely go against you this time!”
" Elder, give me a vote to dismiss him from his post so that he doesn't come here and cause trouble for everyone..."
"Yeah, that stubborn donkey dares to say anything and doesn't listen to advice…"
Xu Jie turned his head and scolded everyone,"
"What do you know? Hai Rui was appointed by His Majesty, how could I demote them just like that!”
Although Xu Jie had replaced Yan Song as the chief of the cabinet.
However, he had never forgotten his identity.
Even though Hai Rui didn't get along with him, they were still honest and upright.
"From now on, if anyone dares to mention Hai Rui, don't blame me for turning my back on you.”
"Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, Da Tong Prefecture is an important granary.”
"So, we still have to guard against the invasion of the Tartars to the south…Tell me, how should we guard against them?”Xu Jie said.
Xu Jie had already received a report from the cabinet that the Tatars were ready to pillage the south after the autumn harvest…
