As the morning sun rose, the court talks in Chengtian Hall continued, but two figures came slowly outside the Meridian Gate.
"Stop! This is the important place of the imperial palace, and the idle people are waiting, and you will leave quickly!"
Some soldiers scolded them impatiently.
"General, I am the grandfather of Yanshenggong's contemporary Yanshenggong's Palace. I request to meet Your Majesty. I hope the general will agree..."
"Yan Sheng Gong?"
The general frowned and turned his head to look at the general on the side: "I remember, this dynasty has nothing Yan Sheng Gong, right?"
"General, Yan Shenggong was from the previous dynasty. Your Majesty of the dynasty had never enthroned Yan Shenggong!"
A general replied immediately.
"That's the official from the previous dynasty..."
"You are so brave!"
The general shouted loudly, then waved his hand and several soldiers surrounded him.
"We are the sages, what are you going to do? Are you not afraid of being scolded by the world?"
Kong Zhenning pointed at several generals and scolded him with a cane.
"What a bullshit sage, now Daheng is in charge, so why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"
"Catch them all!"
The general shouted loudly, and several soldiers from the Imperial Front Camp rushed up and pressed the two descendants of Confucius' Mansion, who were originally guests of honor in the capital, to the ground with a hemp rope. The sages looked like prisoners.
At this time, the court talks ended. When the palace gate opened wide, all officials came out of the Meridian Gate, and the two sons of Kong Zhenning, who were like prisoners.
The ones who walked in the front were undoubtedly the leaders of Wu Xun and civil servants. Wu Xun naturally didn't even look at the two men of Kong Zhenning and his son.
After glanced at Kong Zhenning and his son, several cabinet ministers in the cabinet immediately turned their eyes, looking at the nose and nose, as if they hadn't seen it at all.
The civil officials who followed the cabinet ministers, Kong Zhenning, who was still the guest of honor in their house, almost looked unfamiliar.
In the face of personal interests and thoughts and beliefs, these civil servants chose their personal interests without hesitation.
When the news from the palace gate quickly turned towards the Qianqing Palace, the emperor summoned the two important officials, Duke Jingguo and the commander of the Jinyiwei.
In the hall, the report of the Duke of Yasukuni was clearly heard, and cruel numbers were spit out from the Duke of Yasukuni without any emotional fluctuations, and finally, they were heard into the emperor's ears.
The emperor also looked indifferent. The tax case has been launched from a major case to now, and it has been more than half a year. The number of people involved in the case is the highest in history!
The bitter and cold place outside the Liaodong Corridor has increased by more than 40% in just over half a year, from more than 300,000 people at the beginning to more than 500,000!
It is obvious that among them, the number of more than 200,000 people is this soaring increase!
The case has spread to this day, and those who are guilty and those who can be found guilty have actually been found out.
What is still under arrest and investigation is actually a tax case, but it has nothing to do with taxes.
It was just to clear the final obstacles in the name of the tax case.
Just like the case of Confucius's office, which is currently in charge of the Three Justice Departments.
What he is doing now is not much different from what those emperors of the Han Dynasty did. He moved local merchants to attack local powerful forces.
However, he was just using this tax case to implicate it.
Only by breaking the old order and the new order can we implement it smoothly to the end, and the new interests under the new order can be born smoothly.
As for the blood that flows alternately between the old and the new...
It just made his name as a tyrant even more bloody.
Emperor Zhaowu no longer cared about these things.
"There is the Confucius Mansion..."
As soon as the emperor made a sound, outside the hall, the rapid footsteps were already heard.
Immediately afterwards, a soldier from the Imperial Front Camp stepped into the hall.
"Report to Your Majesty, there are thieves who are trying to break into the palace gate and collide with the name of Yan Shenggong of the previous dynasty..."
The emperor frowned, then glanced at Li Ruolian: "Does the Kong Mansion contact the south?"
"have."
Li Ruolian immediately responded: "Since your Majesty, you have ascended the throne, the Confucius Mansion has never cut off contact with the south. There are also Mongolia and the Confucius Mansion have many secret contacts..."
"Are there any evidence?"
The emperor asked.
Li Ruolian replied: "The evidence is there, and it has not been transferred to the Three Courts."
The emperor glanced at Li Ruolian with a deep meaning, and then nodded: "Not bad."
"It is best to keep the evidence, and there is a de facto connection between the Confucius Mansion and the south!"
"You can handle these two people from the Confucius Mansion."
"Subordinates follow the order."
Li Ruolian immediately received the order.
The emperor waved his hand and gave a few instructions. He looked at the false Ming on the map, but suddenly chuckled.
I have to say that the existence of the Southern Ming really solved most of the problems for him.
How many gentry, businessmen, and how many officials with great power, if these people are unified in the world, under his oppression, for their wealth, life and power, they will inevitably become the source of chaos in various places.
Nowadays, most of these people who should have become the source of disaster have basically arrived in the Southern Ming Dynasty under the hope of survival.
Despite this, it will inevitably strengthen the Nanming's organizational strength and will inevitably make Nanming's resistance more resolute.
However, compared with Daheng's overall, in the short term, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!
After all, without the existence of Nanming, he, as the emperor, is probably still worried about how to suppress the rebellion. How could he sit and watch the world rise as comfortably as he is now?
As my thoughts circulated, the emperor looked at Xu Feng standing beside him:
"In a few days, I will follow me to visit the prefectures and counties near the capital. If I don't look at it in detail, I am still a little worried."
"Since the order."
The emperor waved his hand, and Xu Feng left, and the only emperor was left standing in the hall.
A moment later, the emperor's eyes suddenly froze on the land of Liaodong.
Now, it has been more than half a year since he returned from Liaodong, and the few months of reform...
If so, he really wanted to go to Liaodong in person and take a look at the bottom of this reform, what are the pros and cons, and how to avoid it...
But obviously, this is somewhat unlikely. In this situation, it is impossible for him to leave the capital and go to Liaodong again.
All he could do was to read and understand the situation in Liaodong through the reports of Liaodong officials, reports of garrisons in various places in Liaodong, and reports of spies from Jinyiwei.
But hearing is false, seeing is true.
Even if the memorials are detailed and not seen with his own eyes, he will not be at ease.
Reporting good news but not bad news has always been a tradition in the officialdom.
"Secret Memorial System..."
The emperor murmured to himself, but there was a rare hesitation in his eyes.
Chapter completed!
