"According to my decree, the eunuch Zhang Jing of Dongchang specializes in power and wealth, and his behavior is illegal. He will be punished by being abandoned in the market!"

"The eunuchs Xiao Yu and Wang Zhong, the eunuchs Xiao Yu and Wang Zhong, the eunuchs of the Bureau of Ceremonies, rely on their power and favor, act recklessly and will be killed immediately!"

"Zhang Hong, the eunuch in charge of the military affairs bureau, neglected his duties and mismanaged his duties, and he will be punished at eighty!"

"The eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department was not strict with his subordinates and was guilty of negligence. Because he died violently due to hard work, he will not be held accountable for his previous crime!"

Before dealing with the group of old men and relatives, the little fat man first dealt with a eunuch's domestic slave. The severity of his punishment was unprecedented, and it was equivalent to a direct purge of the entire ceremonial eunuch.

"Come here, call me Luo Sigong, Chen Ju, Yang Rong, and Tian Yi. Also, keep Zhang Hong!"

Although there was a big purge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, as one of the links between the civil servants and gentry group and the military generals group, it was obviously impossible to abolish the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Therefore, after purging Zhang Cheng, Zhang Jing and other original eunuchs, in order to ensure the operation of the Chief Eunuch, it was natural to appoint new members of the inner court.

…

"Chen Ju, from now on, you will be the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Eunuch of the Seals. Remember that you must be worthy of the word 'Ju' in your name. In addition, you should not neglect the person who takes over the inner transport warehouse. That is

I have to keep an eye on my money bag!"

After Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng, the third 'internal minister' of the Wanli Dynasty fell to Chen Ju, who was originally just the eunuch in charge of the transportation warehouse.

"Yang Rong, you have done a good job in running and managing the Royal Daily News these years. You will be promoted to the Chief of Ceremonies and the Eunuch Bingbi. From now on, in addition to the Royal Daily News, you can also take charge of this east factory for me!"

After the re-appointment of the 'Internal Minister', Yang Rong, the newspaper executive who had always stayed away from the battles in the palace, was also brought back to the palace. After adding the title of eunuch Bingbi, he was appointed as the new governor of Dongchang.

.

"Tian Yi, you are an upright man, and you have also been promoted to the position of eunuch Bingbi, supervising the military affairs department. As for Zhang Hong, you should go to the Royal Bank first. If you work hard, you will also have a seat in the position of eunuch Bingbi!"

Later, even Zhang Hong, who was beaten with a stick, was transferred out of the war bureau, but was also promised a bait by the little fat man as a eunuch with a pen.

"Luo Sigong, according to this list, go and call all these people for me!"

Finally, after re-appointing and establishing a new Chief of Ceremonies, the little fat man reached out and handed over the list he had obtained from Zhang Jing to Luo Sigong, the handsome man in uniform.

…

"I will wait...see...your majesty!"

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, I looked at the gloomy little fat man on the throne and the imperial guards standing with swords on both sides of the hall. They were led by Yangwuhou Xue Lian, Anyuanhou Maoxun, Cheng Anbo and Guo Bangxian, and more than thirty Hou Bo elders.

The nobles' legs suddenly felt weak, and they all knelt down in fear.

There is no way, these people were already frightened when the Jin Yiwei came to the door, and with their current posture, it would be strange not to be afraid!

"Why, you are afraid of just a few knives. How dare you assassinate the champion before? Lift your heads up for me!"

Glancing at the group of nobles kneeling on the ground, the cold murderous intent in the little fat man's eyes immediately struck these people like a steel knife.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I have been wronged..."

"Fortunately, your ancestors were also heroes who earned you a title with one sword and one shot. Unexpectedly, they gave birth to a bunch of weaklings like you who dare to do things but don't dare to act. It's a shame for your ancestors!"

Before these old nobles could finish shouting "Unjust", the little fat man swore at these people with a look of contempt.

"Prince, let Zhang Jing and others read their confessions themselves!"

After a foul language that had no image of an emperor at all was uttered, while these people looked dumbfounded and frightened, the little fat man spoke to the prince Zhu Changluo next to the throne and gave instructions.

"It's just that you have been cut off from the benefits of free wages and servitude, but you actually dare to assassinate important officials of the imperial court? Not to mention the dividends that the Royal Commercial Bank has given you over the years, let's talk about which of your houses does not have vast fields and hordes of servants? You just

Are you short of this little money and manpower?”

"The hearts of the people are weak and snakes swallow elephants. This time it is the champion. Next time, shouldn't you directly assassinate the king?"

Just as these old nobles were shaking as they held the confessions of Zhang Jing and others, the fat man on the throne did not give these people a chance to argue, and spoke coldly again.

"I...I don't dare!"

Even though these previous people were so daring, colluding with eunuchs such as Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing, and recruiting dead men to ambush Wang Bing, when they were actually asked to go to court, they all collapsed in an instant.

There is no way, this is a common problem of second-generation ancestors. If you have not experienced the baptism of blood and fire like your ancestors, how can you develop strong bones by relying only on the shadow of your ancestors.

"Come here, give them paper and pen, let them write down the confession and sign it!"

Too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, following the little fat man's order, a dozen little eunuchs walked over to the old nobles who were still kneeling on the ground, holding the papers and pens they had prepared.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this, this..."

Looking at the pen and paper in front of them, Xue Lian, Guo Bangxiang and others immediately numbed their paws. You must know that once this crime is put on paper, it will be completely confirmed and there will be no room for escape.

"Write a confession and accept the punishment; if you don't write it, go directly to Xishikou with Zhang Jing. I won't force you!"

…

"Since you have pleaded guilty, you must not go unpunished! From now on, the dividends of the Royal Commercial Bank will be suspended for twenty years;"

"In addition, your titles were obtained by your ancestors through their military merits. From now on, if you have no military merits, you are not allowed to take the title or you will lose the face of your ancestors!"

After picking up a few confessions and looking at them, the little fat man immediately announced the contents of the punishment.

Faced with the choice of writing a confession and accepting punishment, or going to the West Market to cut meat slices for fun, Xue Lian and others very wisely chose to accept punishment.

However, this punishment is not that easy to bear. It is okay to suspend the royal trading company's dividends for twenty years. After all, it is only a loss of some money. It is not unbearable for hereditary nobles like them. But they will not be able to gain the title without military merit.

This one item will cost them their lives.

You know, passed down from generation to generation, although they still have military positions, they just have a name in the Beijing camp. But now with the rectification of the military camp, they don’t even have this name military position, so where can they go?

To make military exploits?

And without military merit, they can't attack the nobility. Doesn't that mean that after their generation, the nobility will be eliminated?

"Your Majesty, if the guilty ministers and others are like this, if no one in the next generation has military merit, then the next generation..."

You can give up money, but if you lose the title passed down from your ancestors in your own hands, you will really lose the face of your ancestors.

Therefore, at the risk of attracting a heavier punishment, Hao Maoxun still raised his question to the little fat man cautiously.

"Don't worry, since this title was earned by your ancestors who shed blood and made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, I will not get rid of it easily. Of course, if no one can take over the title within three generations, then the court will have no fault to blame!"

Since these people are still useful, naturally they will not be left alone.

"The guilty ministers are waiting to thank His Majesty for His grace!"

After hearing the little fat man's reply, everyone who thought that the ancestral title was over for their own generation suddenly couldn't help but feel ecstatic, and they all nodded and kowtowed.
Chapter completed!
