Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

After the end of the dynasty.

About what happened in the court.

It was immediately spread by those who were interested.

But those who are interested in spreading the key points.

It was not that the bigwigs in the court were corrupt and committed injustice, but that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to reopen the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The reputation of the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

It's already been everywhere!

From the civil and military officials in the court to the peddlers in the market.

I don't have the slightest good impression of the factory guards.

As a result, this matter quickly sparked public opinion.

Then with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives.

Many middle and lower-level officials and a large number of students from the Imperial College.

They were soon connected to each other.

Then they rushed towards the palace.

He knelt outside the palace gate and begged Emperor Chongzhen to revoke his decision.

Some even shouted: "The people of the world have suffered from the factory guards for a long time. I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order and never reopen the factory guards..."

"The eunuchs are like tigers and wolves. The disaster of Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party is not far away. The eunuchs must not be reopened. Your Majesty, please understand..."

The shouts of those officials and students.

And their behavior of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

It soon attracted a large number of onlookers.

As a result, things got bigger and bigger...

……

Inside the palace.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a very good mood.

This time, the East Factory officially debuted.

And successfully reopened the Jinyiwei.

By the way, a number of corrupt officials were also cleared out.

No one in the court dared to oppose.

This gave Emperor Chongzhen the illusion that everything was under his control.

I feel like the civil and military officials in the court.

It doesn’t seem that difficult to deal with!

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen was silently calculating in his heart.

This time, more than 10 Donglin Party leaders were captured.

Who should be arranged to take over the positions vacated by these people?

Another thing is to confiscate the property of those guys and exterminate their clans.

How much gold and silver will you get?

Based on the intelligence collected by the East Factory, Chongzhen made a rough estimate.

The homes of those high-ranking officials in the imperial court who were imprisoned.

At least four or five million taels of silver could be confiscated.

This does not include various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as fixed assets such as fields and shops.

If all those things were converted into silver.

It is estimated to be several million taels.

Add it all up and it's even more...

The harvest from this confiscation of property and extermination of the clan.

It is more than the court’s annual fiscal revenue.

It’s even equivalent to two years’ fiscal revenue!

While happy that he had made a fortune.

Emperor Chongzhen hated those corrupt officials even more...

However, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that he should not be too hasty.

If all the ministers in the court were killed at once, it would be detrimental to the court and the country.

Because someone has to do the work!

As for the remaining corrupt officials in the court.

Emperor Chongzhen would make preparations and then slowly look for opportunities to deal with them.

What if all those corrupt officials were confiscated and their families were exterminated?

How much gold and silver will be found during the inspection?

Even Emperor Chongzhen couldn't figure it out...

Eager to know the result of the house search.

As a result, Emperor Chongzhen had no intention of reviewing memorials!

As a result, Chongzhen still hadn't received the good news about the results of the confiscation of property.

But first he received the news that all officials and students were kneeling at the palace gate.

The Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that he roared, "How dare you deceive me like this? How dare you deceive me like this?"

Wang Chengen: "Your Majesty, please calm down. They came to force the emperor to abdicate shortly after the court session ended. This shows that they are afraid.

So Your Majesty, please do not get angry, otherwise it will play into their hands, or even fall into their evil scheme..."

After listening to Wang Chengen's advice.

Emperor Chongzhen took several deep breaths.

He forced himself to suppress the anger in his chest.

He said to Wang Chengen: "You are right, Otomo. They are indeed afraid. That is why they want to use the method of forcing the emperor to retract his order.

It is impossible for me to take back my order. But how do you think we should deal with their forcing the emperor to abdicate?"

Wang Chengen: "The imperial precepts left by Taizu say that students are not allowed to participate in politics. The emperor only needs to act according to the ancestral precepts.

If there are those who are stubborn and unyielding, their honors and titles can be stripped away, and they can be banned from employment for life. Even all male members of their family can be strictly prohibited from serving as officials or taking imperial examinations within three generations..."

Chong Chongzhen nodded and said, "What Otomo said is very much in line with my heart. Then let me test you again. How should we deal with those officials who participated in forcing the emperor to abdicate?"

Wang Chengen: "Basically none of those officials are clean. The imperial precepts of the Ming Dynasty say that those who embezzle more than 60 taels of silver will be skinned and stuffed with straw..."

“Hahahaha…” Chongzhen laughed heartily upon hearing this.

In the past, it was the civil servants who used ancestral rules and teachings to deal with Chongzhen.

This time, he also used ancestral rules and teachings to deal with the officials.

This made Emperor Chongzhen feel very happy.

Then Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "What Otomo said coincides with what I think. Let Otomo handle this matter!"

Wang Chengen: "I obey your command..."

Then Wang Chengen and his men hurried out...

……

Wang Chengen led his men to the outside of the palace gate.

He directly announced that students were not allowed to participate in politics and asked the students of the Imperial College to go back quickly.

Otherwise, severe punishment will be imposed.

The results of it?

The students of the Imperial College.

Inspired by countless "predecessors".

I thought that this time the law would not hold everyone responsible, and the matter would end up being left unresolved.

So those guys didn't retreat.

Instead, he cursed Wang Chengen, the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Wang Chengen: "Catch them all. All the students of the Imperial Academy present will be stripped of their official titles on the spot, and the male members of their families will not be allowed to serve as officials or take the imperial examinations within three generations..."

Remove the fame.

It means ruining these people's future.

In addition, they were not allowed to hold official positions or take the imperial examinations within three generations.

Then these guys will become sinners of their family.

It is estimated that there is someone in his family who is interested in a career in politics.

I must want to tear these guys into pieces alive!

So those guys, after hearing such a cruel and heartbreaking punishment.

They all went crazy immediately.

Ignoring the suppression from the Dongchang guards.

While struggling and resisting desperately, he cursed Wang Chengen.

"Eunuch, you are a castrated dog. The example of Wei Zhongxian is not far away. You, a castrated dog, will definitely not die a good death."

"You thief, I cannot stand with you..."

"Overthrow the eunuchs, clear out the emperor's entourage, and restore order to the court..."

Slogans of clearing out the imperial court have been shouted out.

Is there anything else they dare not do?

Wang Chengen waved his hand with a gloomy expression.

The Dongchang soldiers under his command immediately drew out their steel knives.

The most fiercely resisting students of the Imperial Academy.

He was chopped to the ground and killed on the spot.

In an instant.

Blood splattered outside the palace gate.

The screams continued...

No one expected it.

Wang Chengen and the Dongchang men were so cruel.

Then there were the students of the Imperial College and the officials who forced the emperor to abdicate.

Everyone was frightened and shut up, huddled together trembling.

Many of them were so scared that they peed their pants.

What they don't know is.

The bloody scene before our eyes is just the beginning.

Soon, the butcher knife was in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen.

Will cut it down hard once again...
