Chapter 76: The Corruption Case Has Expanded

"This Chen Yansheng doesn't want to learn from others, but he wants to learn this radical method."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the memorial in his hand and said with a smile: "But this is good. Eradicating the die-hard faction headed by the Mei family and drawing together and dividing the Zhao family and the Ni family will be enough to frighten the Tianjin authorities.

From this point of view, whether it can become an established fact that Tianjin is called Zhili Prefecture in the future, and the counties that are allocated can be actually controlled, it depends on Chen Yansheng's methods and the city government."

Han Zanzhou, who was serving at the side, couldn't help but feel suspicious that his prince was so happy.

What exactly did Chen Yansheng, the governor of Tianjin, do?

Thinking of the situation in the DPRK in recent days, including the changes in the capital, Han Zanzhou felt frightened because his emperor's attitude was too tough.

"Han Zanzhou, how is the progress of the public trial held by the Jin Yiwei over there in the West City?" Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial in his hand and said with an open eyebrow.

"If some ministers in the court want dignity, then I will give it to them so that the corrupt officials who are caught can have a great deal of dignity."

"Back to your Majesty... According to the report from Jinyiwei, most of the corrupt officials who were put on trial have confessed." Han Zanzhou leaned forward and said.

"And among the newly surrendered people, some are ministers of the DPRK and Commander Luo...some of them are not acceptable..."

"There's nothing to hesitate about!"

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said: "I have arrested all the officials involved in the case. I said at the beginning that no one who dares to put his hand into the second warehouse of Jingtong will be spared lightly!"

"Your Majesty... Many ministers, headed by Han Yuanfu, gathered at the Qianqing Gate and asked for an audience." Han Zan said with hesitation between his brows.

"Didn't you hear my will clearly?!"

Seeing Han Zanzhou like this, Emperor Chongzhen directed his cold eyes at Han Zanzhou and said coldly.

"This slave is guilty!"

Han Zanzhou's heart trembled, and he knelt down on the ground and said, "I will go and convey the emperor's oral instructions."

In such an atmosphere, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to get along well with the civil servants in the court, especially the Donglin Party members, stabilize the situation in the Ming Dynasty, and make his own plans and arrangements.

However, it is unrealistic for most people to get involved in this dark officialdom and try to escape from the mud without being stained.

If this is the case, then Emperor Chongzhen, who has great righteousness, will definitely not miss the opportunity to kill a group of corrupt officials and shock the court!

In order to prevent the Jingtong Ercang corruption case from being overturned by so-called public opinion, Emperor Chongzhen asked Luo Yangxing to lead a team and creatively held a public trial within the boundaries of the capital.

Didn’t everyone say that Jin Yiwei practiced torture and used the method of subjugation and beating?

OK!

Then ask the people of the capital to supervise and investigate the caught corrupt officials. All actions will be under the observation of the people of the capital.

"Yuanfu, what should I do if Your Majesty doesn't summon us? How could the Jinyiwei make such a big noise in the West Market?"

"That's right, what should we do? Even if we are reviewing the Jingtong Ercang corruption case, we cannot use this method. What a blow to the dignity of the country."

At that time, there were many ministers gathered outside the Qianqing Gate. They either looked anxious or excited, and gathered in groups to discuss what was happening.

No one thought that the cabinet group's support was just to advise the emperor not to endlessly expand the army, but it would cause so many troubles.

Many courtiers in the front leg petitioned for Cheng Ji's order in order to force the emperor to take back the order, and the Jin Yiwei in the back leg held a so-called public trial.

This made the civil servants in the court and many ministers dumbfounded. No one thought that Jin Yiwei would cause such a trouble.

"well…"

Standing in front of the queue, Han Xu looked solemn, with a worried look on his brows. He sighed softly. The commotion in the court was beyond his expectation.

He did not expect that Cheng Jiming would go to Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor behind his back and carry many remonstrances and remonstrances.

He did not expect that the emperor's attitude would be so tough, that he would dismiss Cheng Ji Ming on the spot, and even give Cheng Ji Ming the same tone.

He did not expect that Jin Yiwei would do such a thing and cause the Jingtong Ercang corruption case to become a storm!

Now Han Xu is physically and mentally exhausted. The emperor has changed so much that he even has the illusion that the previous emperor was too good at pretending?

"rustle……"

Li Banghua, who looked tired, walked quickly towards the Qianqing Gate. His bloodshot eyes saw the crowd gathered outside the Qianqing Gate and couldn't help but slow down.

What's going on?

Could it be that something important happened in the court while leaving Beijing?

Li Banghua came to Qianqingmen with all kinds of doubts.

Many ministers in the crowd had different expressions on Li Banghua's sudden return to Beijing.

"Your Majesty...Li Banghua, I have returned to Beijing to report on my duties and ask to see His Majesty!" Faced with the gazes of many eyes, Li Banghua straightened out the dusty official robe he was wearing, and bowed his hands in the direction of Qianqing Palace.

If the Shangzhi personal guards who were on duty here dared to be careless, someone would immediately run towards the Qianqing Palace to report it.

Unlike the group of ministers gathered in the court, Li Banghua was an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor. Now that he has returned to Beijing and is still like this, something big must have happened.

"Meng An, has the investigation into the case of collaborating with the enemy been concluded?" Han Xu stepped forward, looked at the tired-looking Li Banghua, and said with concern: "What are you..."

"Yuanfu, the case of collaborating with the enemy has been concluded." Looking at the courtiers behind Han Xu, Li Banghua frowned and said: "But the conclusion has not been reached yet. I returned to Beijing this time to report the situation to His Majesty. All matters need to be decided by the emperor."

After hearing this, Han Xu, including the ministers, all showed different expressions.

What does this mean?

Could it be that something happened again in Xuanfu Town and Taiyuan Prefecture?

No, this matter must not be simple!

"Li Shufu, the emperor has issued a decree to summon you to see you."

Just when some ministers wanted to step forward and ask Li Banghua, a eunuch came from the Qianqing Palace and walked directly towards Li Banghua without caring about anyone else and said.

"I...I will obey the order!"

Li Banghua, who was worried about the situation in Shanxi, did not hesitate at all, and bowed his hands, then chatted on his sleeves, followed the eunuch who delivered the oral instructions, and walked quickly towards the Qianqing Palace.
