Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 307 Li Shan is at the end of his rope

Chapter 307 Li Shan is at the end of his rope

In the past few days, the entire court seemed to have become a stage exclusively for the censors on the censorship stage.

The Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment...

Waiter, doctor, chief...

Officials from various yamen and at all levels now seem to have become big fat in the eyes of the imperial censor.

A group of censors seemed to want to work together to achieve results during this period, so they rushed out like crazy and kept biting.

Charges, evidence, witnesses...

The censors at the Censorship Station seemed to have transformed into veterans in the Ministry of Punishment, and they had everything prepared easily.

What remains is condemnation.

Not to mention Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already jealous of his enemies. Whenever the censors proposed something, as long as the evidence was relatively sufficient, they could be taken down on the spot.

Officials were dismissed one by one, and positions were vacated one by one.

If at the very beginning, Yiying officials felt that their position was finally freed up and they could be promoted, it would be worth celebrating.

So after three days, everyone was silent.

Damn!

I'm afraid this is a big purge!

In just these three days, the people in the court were half empty.

At the same time, everyone also discovered at this moment that all those who were purged this time were from Li Shanchang's line.

I won’t talk about the more core ones, but later on they started to attack those members who were not the core, but just peripheral members.

This situation undoubtedly made all officials feel trembling.

Nothing else, just be afraid!

If we were just dealing with Li Shanchang's group of people, then maybe these people would be surprised, but they wouldn't be too scared.

After all, they were not close to Li Shanchang in the past.

But if even the peripheral members have to be cleaned up, then they will be afraid.

The people who look up but don't look down are all colleagues, and the other person is the Prime Minister of the court. Isn't it normal for everyone to have some contact with each other?
Not to mention that Li Shanchang was still the prime minister before?
With this person holding a position above ten thousand people, who would have to deal with him?

Therefore, if someone from Li Shanchang's family was purged because of this connection that he usually didn't pay much attention to, wouldn't he die unjustly?

No one is stupid!

If he didn't clear up his relationship with Li Shanchang at this time, he would be dead even if he died.

For a time, Li Shangang became a person that everyone could avoid, and everyone wished they didn't know this talent at all.

Five days!

In just five days, the forces that Li Shanchang was so proud of were completely wiped out in the entire court.

Even if he is charged with the lightest crime, he will be transferred away from the border area.

It can be said that Li Shanchang always thought that Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to kill the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't dare!
If he really did that, the empire he had worked so hard to conquer might fall apart overnight.

But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to kill all the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

The core and most die-hard Li Shanchang's group will naturally kill and arrest those who deserve to be killed according to the crime.

And some are not so core, so they can be adjusted according to the crime.

Demotion and transfer are both possible.

But if the guilty person has served his crime and served his crime, then he is not allowed to continue working hard?
Then at the same time, people can be transferred from other places to fill the vacancies. In fact, it does not hinder the normal operation of Ming Dynasty too much!

Zhu Yuanzhang had already calculated these things in his mind several times.

Therefore, the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to be in flames, and officials were convicted every day, but in fact the officialdom was only tense and shaken.

The really uncomfortable thing, except for Li Shanchang and his team, everyone found over time that it seemed to be pretty good?
After all, the seat was really vacated. If you were lucky, you would be promoted on the spot. If you were not so lucky, you would at least have a little more hope, right?

The ups and downs in the court eventually reached the ears of Li Shanchang, who, like Mr. Hu, closed his doors and hid in the Korean government palace, pretending to be dead.

He looked at the long list in his hand and finally slumped in his chair.

"It's over!"

"It's hard to escape death!"

Li Shanchang finally understood!

There is no other way for me to go this time!
He didn't know how much time passed before he finally raised his head again in confusion.

Li Shanchang looked around.

This is his study, his favorite place to stay in the past.

Of course, this is where he spends the most time.

The bookshelf, made of Huanghuali, the bookcase, the large piece of golden silk, even the paperweight and inkstone on the table, are all exquisite pieces crafted by master craftsmen.

It can be said that if you take out something here, it will be enough for ordinary people to spend ten years.

But placed here, it is inconspicuous at all.

Li Shanchang Xin picked up a teapot on the side, held it in his hand and rubbed it slowly.

This is his daily favorite. It is not very expensive, but it has been with him for at least ten years.

He habitually held the teapot in his hands and rubbed it slowly with both hands, but waves of sadness surged in his heart.

"Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba, you are hiding too deeply!"

"You've already planned to kill me!"

"Hahahaha, first cut off the wings, and then go straight to the center. You are using the art of war to deal with an old minister and brother of mine!"

"Divide and encircle, attack in the east and attack in the west, you really think highly of me!"

At this time, Li Shanchang no longer had any hope for his future.

He knew that he could no longer escape.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang, who had spent so much thought and preparation, let go of himself as the "mastermind" in the end?

However, Li Shanchang was also thinking about a question.

Since when did he become Zhu Yuanzhang's target?
Maybe it started when I became prime minister!

I stupidly took the position of prime minister, which exposed my ambition and desire for power.

Now it seems that Hu Weiyong, who he thought was "just like that" at the beginning, is actually a rare smart person.

At that time, Hu Weiyong was probably aware of the dangers of the position of prime minister, so he took the opportunity to escape quickly.

As a result, I, a big fool like myself, foolishly rushed forward and caught this big thunder that others had abandoned!

Greed is the cause of trouble, and it is your own fault!

Three days later, at the court meeting, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mao Xiang, who never took the initiative to speak on weekdays, suddenly came out.

I saw that as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he directly listed a bunch of crimes against Li Shanchang!
For a time, the government and the public were shocked
