A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 310 Surgery for the Ming Dynasty! (Seek full order)

Seeing that Hua Twelve had committed suicide, all the officials present suspected that this guy was out of his mind. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", there is no cure for the brain-dead.

But they didn't care if the new Commander of the Jinyiwei had something wrong with his brain, and at the same time they were ecstatic, they came out to add insult to injury, wanting to tell the truth of the other party's words as soon as possible.

Cui Chengxiu of the eunuch party was the first to jump out:

"Commander Hua, you are so bold. Since Wei Zhongxian's family property is 8000 million taels, why did you only hand over 300 million taels? You are committing a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Other civil servants also echoed, Hua Twelve squinted at them, turned around, and said disdainfully: "A group of evil pens!"

Although these civil servants didn't understand what Hua Twelve meant, seeing his disdainful expression and contemptuous eyes, they all felt that they had been humiliated, and what the other party said with this expression, besides insulting them, could have meaning. What does that mean.

Immediately, they played one after another, asking Zhu Youxiao to punish Hua Twelve's crime of deceiving the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao saw that Hua Shier had committed public anger, which caused these civil servants and officials to rage, so he quickly comforted him:
"Everyone, listen to what Commander Hua has to say, don't wrong a good man!"

Hua Shier saw Zhu Youxiao's attitude and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. This is the emperor, and these ministers can shout and shout in Qianqing Palace without any scruples. At the time of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, which civil servant and general would dare to be so presumptuous?

Looking at Zhu Youxiao's questioning eyes, Hua Twelve cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the 300 million taels obtained from the ransacking of Wei Zhongxian's home is actually just Wei Xie's superficial wealth. After two days of interrogation, there has been new progress in Wei Xie's corruption case!"

The faces of Cui Chengxiu and other eunuchs changed instantly. When they found that Hua Shier was looking at them with the eyes of a dead person when he was talking, they immediately had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Zhu Youxiao heard that there was a new development, and asked quickly: "I don't know what progress has been made, but it has something to do with the 8000 million taels?"

Hua Twelve nodded and said: "That's right, originally this was a serious case, and any clues are confidential, but judging from the current situation, if I don't reveal some of the case, I'm afraid that these adults will be charged with heinous crimes today." Bar!"

As he said that, he sneered at the civil servants over there. Hua Twelve knew that some of these people went into battle naked, such as eunuchs, and some were tools pushed out to test him, such as those speech officials.

Hua Twelve hadn't thought of making trouble for them so soon, but since the other party took the initiative to provoke, he decided to kill all these people and the masters behind them today.

"emperor!"

Hua Twelve accentuated his tone, and said with a serious face: "According to Wei Zhongxian's confession, most of the money he got from embezzlement was used to bribe the officials of the court, but Wei Xie said that he is too old to remember clearly, but In order to pay for his crime and make meritorious service, he gave this humble minister an idea!"

Zhu Youxiao showed surprise on his face: "Wei Daban actually gave you an idea?"

Hua Twelve nodded and said: "That's right, Wei Zhongxian wanted to take the blame and make meritorious service, and wanted the emperor to spare his life, so he did his best and came up with a good idea."

Feeling threatened, the eunuchs immediately spoke out against it. Cui Chengxiu spoke on behalf of the eunuchs:

"Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian is a man with a heinous crime and a vicious mind. He knows that he can't survive the heinous crimes. When he is dying, he will bite at random. Don't believe his nonsense, otherwise, people in the court will be panicked. It must not be far away!"

Among the civil servants, except for the eunuchs, other officials have not realized that the danger is approaching. Hearing Hua Twelve's meaning to dig deep into the eunuchs, his eyes lit up immediately, thinking that this is also a good time to deal with the eunuchs.

In the eyes of these people, Hua Twelve couldn't come up with 8000 million taels of silver at all.

Therefore, the civil servants and officials who joined forces to impeach Hua Twelve just now split into two factions. Those from the Donglin Party and the centrists all stood up and suggested that the emperor should investigate the case of Wei Xun's corruption to the bottom. be opposed to.

Zhu Youxiao felt a headache when he heard the civil servants yelling again, and waved:

"Okay, okay, it's not too late to talk when I ask you clearly!"

He turned to Hua Twelve and asked, "Mr. Hua, what advice did Daban Wei give you?"

Hua Twelve's eyes turned to those civil servants and officials, and inexplicable news appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said word by word:

"Wei Zhongxian's notice to the minister is only four words 'property declaration', and the minister thinks this idea is extremely feasible."

At this time, some of the civil servants and officials were puzzled, and some understood the literal meaning, and their eyes showed horror.

Zhu Youxiao asked: "Sir, why not be more careful, what is property declaration?"

Hua Twelve finally showed his butcher knife, he smiled and said to Zhu Youxiao:
"Your Majesty, the meaning of property declaration is very simple. In fact, it means literally. It is to let the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty declare how much property they have to the court, and then the Jin Yiwei will verify it. If the amount of property meets the salary they received during their official career, Then this person is an upright official, there is no problem!"

"If the standard of salary is exceeded, then the official must specify the source of the property. For example, some officials have a business at home, so what kind of business is it? How much has been inherited, and whether there are so many, is also for Jin Yiwei to conduct a detailed investigation!"

"If you can't prove the source of the property, then even if this person has not received money from Wei Zhongxian, he is still a very corrupt official!"

As soon as Hua Twelve finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands and applauded, and the faces of all the civil servants turned dark.

A speech officer reprimanded: "Nonsense, being an official is not a saint. Some human relationships are very normal. Who remembers the specific source after a long time? If the property exceeds the salary, it must be dealt with as Wei Zhongxian's party members or corrupt officials. I don't know what to do." How many unjust, false and wrong cases have been committed, and how many more innocent souls will be born under the sword of Jin Yiwei!"

Hua Twelve looked at the man and sneered, and then he clasped his fist at Zhu Youxiao:

"Your Majesty, my lord has also considered what my lord said, so I feel that when implementing the 'property declaration', we can set a red line, that is, officials whose family property exceeds three times their own salary can be used as corrupt officials or Wei Zhongxian's henchmen. Let's deal with it!"

Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands and praised: "This is very good. If you make a small mistake, you will be labeled as a corrupt official. It seems that I am too harsh. Three times the red line can not only investigate those corrupt officials, but also avoid unjust, false and wrong cases!"

"Even if there are corrupt officials, they can be alerted, even if I give them a chance to reform themselves."

Hua Twelve laughed straight: "The emperor is merciful, presumably they will appreciate the emperor's benevolence, and from then on they will change their minds and be loyal to my Ming Dynasty!"

When those civil servants and officials heard this, their faces were all distorted, and they said in their hearts, thank you baba, the monthly salary of a first-rank official in Ming Dynasty is 87 shi for rice, and the annual salary is 44 shi, which is about 230 taels of silver. If a county magistrate takes office and earns less than 1 taels of silver a year, it will be for nothing, let alone them.

The cleanest officials present are estimated to be worth dozens of times more than their own salaries. The red line is set at three times. Isn't this letting them die!
Cui Chengxiu was the quickest to see the opportunity, and quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with the policy of 'property declaration'. I will go out of the palace and go home, count my own property, and report the specific amount tomorrow morning!"

Only then did the other civil servants and officials come to their senses, and they all resigned one after another, claiming that they would go out of the palace to count their own property.

Zhu Youjiao wanted to agree, but Hua Twelve said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I feel that there are still some flaws in the matter of declaring property. If there is no preparation for it, those corrupt officials are likely to transfer the property in advance. Now I have a better way. Why not let the humble minister lead the factory guard today?" How about a surprise inspection?"

Just as the officials were about to scold, Zhu Youxiao asked with interest: "Oh, how about a surprise inspection?"

Hua Twelve pointed out: "The emperor can order someone to ring the Jingyang bell, summon all the officials to go to the court to discuss matters, and then leave all the officials to wait in the palace. I take this opportunity to take Jin Yiwei and the people from Dongchang, Conduct surprise inspections on the homes of the ministers and count their properties, so that those corrupt officials can have nowhere to hide!"

Zhu Youxiao also became interested, clapped his hands and said: "This is a good idea, let's do it according to Mr. Hua's wishes!"

He shouted to the side: "Wang Daban!"

Immediately an old eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao ordered: "You go and ring the Jingyang bell yourself, and call all the officials to the court to discuss matters!"

The old eunuch bowed to accept the order, and hurried away with a young eunuch. Before leaving Qianqing Palace, Zhaohua Twelve nodded and showed a flattering smile at the same time.

All the civil servants and officials who impeached Hua Twelve before have changed their colors at this time, and some of them have turned ashen.

"I also ask the emperor to issue a decree that I will leave the palace right away. Once all the officials enter the palace, I will help the adults to count the family property. I will definitely find out Wei Zhongxian's 8000 million taels of silver for His Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao was delighted when he heard the 8000 million taels of silver, and immediately wrote a decree and handed it over to Hua Twelve to make him act cheaply.

Holding the imperial decree, Hua Twelve turned his head to look at the speech officials who were flaunting their power just now, but now they were all impotent, and laughed out loud and led Zhang Zhang out of the palace.

Not far from the Qianqing Palace, I heard Jingyang bell ringing 24 times, which is the bell calling all officials to go to court.

Before reaching the Meridian Gate, an old eunuch was waiting ahead of time on the only way Hua Shier must pass. It was Wang Daban who was ordered to ring the bell just now.

Still far away, Zhang Zhang walked quickly to Hua Shier's side, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, this person is Wang Tigan!"

Hua Shishi suddenly realized that the two eunuchs beside Zhu Youxiao, one was Wei Zhongxian, and the other was Wang Ti. However, I heard that this eunuch was Wei Zhongxian's lackey. what to do.

When Wang Tiqian saw Hua Twelve, he hurriedly greeted him, and bowed to the ground: "Wang Tiqian has seen Commander-in-Chief!"

With a smile on the corner of Hua Shishi's mouth, he helped him up: "Your Majesty, you are so polite. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford such a big gift!"

Wang Tiqian looked around and found no one around, so he knelt down:

"I can afford it, I can afford it. Our family didn't know people before and helped Wei Zhongxian do a lot of wrong things. Please give our family a chance, allow our family to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and do the work of dogs and horses for you. You must be so heartbroken that you will never betray me!"

Hua Twelve's heart is like a mirror, the eunuch has a house outside the palace, it seems that Wang Tigan's house also has a lot of wealth.

He was wondering whether this person would accept it or not, and what benefits it would bring after accepting it.

In a flash of thought, Hua Twelve had already decided to accept the old eunuch. No matter whether he had other ideas or not, it was still necessary for the emperor to keep someone of his own by his side.

He turned to the side and said: "Xiao Zheng, don't help the prince up yet!"

Zhang Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Tigan up, Hua Shier reached out and took out a three-corpse brain pill from his bosom, and handed it to the old eunuch:
"Wang Gonggong, if we eat this, we will become our own people!"

Without even thinking about it, Wang Tigan took it and swallowed it in one gulp.

Hua Twelve observed carefully, and saw that he really ate it, not fooling himself, and suddenly said in surprise:

"Why is the prince so happy, don't you ask what you are eating?"

Wang Ti smiled dryly: "Even if it's poison, what else do we have to choose? If your lord wants our family to die, as long as you investigate the case impartially, our family will definitely die, so even if it's poison, I guess it's your lord's death." In order to make our family obedient, as long as our family is obedient, we can live well, why should our family ask carefully!"

What these words said, even the head teacher Zheng beside him couldn't help admiring, the old eunuch understood.

Hua Twelve laughed loudly, reached out and patted Wang Tigan's shoulder: "Elder-in-law thinks so, he will surely live a long life!"

Wang Tiqian bowed slightly to make Hua Twelve more comfortable, and said with an apologetic smile, "Then I have to rely on the great blessings of the heavens and the heavens!"

"You can talk, go back, and let Zhao Jingzhong tell you the efficacy of the three corpse brain god pill, and come to me every year before the Dragon Boat Festival to get the antidote!"

Hua Twelve waved his hand, and led Zhang Zhang to the Meridian Gate, while Wang Tiqian bowed and saw him off, and then got up with a smile and returned to Qing Palace.

After reporting the case, Pei Lun withdrew from Qianqing Palace and returned to the Meridian Gate to wait. At this time, seeing Hua Shier and Zhang Zhang came out, he immediately came to ask for instructions:
"My lord, can we do something to those people in Beiya!"

Hua Twelve knew that he was referring to the purge operation within Jinyiwei.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Give it a few more days, today we are going to attack all the officials, it is time to employ people, let them play around for a few more days!"

Pei Lun didn't know why, so when Hua Twelfth mentioned that he was going to raid the property of all the officials, the former gasped.

Hua Twelfth didn't think so much, he believed that there were still honest officials, and he had a list in his mind, he could give a chance to all capable ministers, as for those who only know how to engage in party disputes and have no shit skills, they will be eliminated directly. It's gone.

You must know that he is a professional surgeon, and he is the best at performing operations.

Now that corruption is prevalent in Daming, the rotting flesh must be cut off to survive, let him do the first cut himself, it must be fast and ruthless.

Immediately ordered Pei Lun and Zhang Zhang to go back and transfer the troops of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. As soon as all the officials entered the palace, they immediately surrounded the houses of these officials.
