Chapter 369 A neat family

Whether it was to establish authority or suppress rebellion, no matter how this matter was said, those killed were the family members of the third-rank officials.

Emperor Hongzhi could already foresee the turmoil that would be caused when this news reached the court.

What's more, the charge was rebellion, but it was not a true rebellion. Wang Shouren's response seemed to be no problem, leaving no room for error.

But the reason behind it is Yin Tian. This matter can be big or small. According to the current situation, officials in the world dare not say all, but there are definitely many involved in Yin Tian. If one or two, it can be

kill!

But when there are too many people, they must be dealt with leniently, or even not dealt with at all.

Now that dozens of people have been killed on charges of rebellion, Wang Shouren is using human lives to establish his authority.

To put it ten thousand steps back, being outside the law is nothing more than human kindness.

Even if a third-grade official commits any crime, as long as it is not treason, he will basically be dismissed from office and his position will not be harmed, and his family will not be harmed. Even if it is harmed, his family members will be spared.

But now, all his family and relatives have been killed.

Moreover, according to the past of the imperial court, offenders should be judged for their crimes first, and then decided whether to sit together.

But the deputy imperial envoy, whose family members are all dead, is still staying well in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and still doesn't know the bad news. What will happen after he finds out?

Could it be that he was charged with rebellion? His family members were involved in rebellion, so the officials were imprisoned.

Not to mention whether such a thing can be done, even if it is done, it will push this matter to a new wave.

Therefore, how to quell this matter and how to deal with the aftermath has become the most important thing now.

Xiao Jing responded from the side: "Your Majesty, are you overly concerned? I think that since the charge is well-founded, even if the courtiers are unhappy about it, it will not cause too much trouble, even if it does.

, it should be able to stabilize.”

"If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause huge waves. Do you think there will be no setbacks?"

"Then why not label Liu Xiyao as a rebel?"

As he talked, Xiao Jing could no longer speak. He seemed to have a premonition of what would happen with such a treatment. He had been with Emperor Hongzhi for so many years and knew the emperor best. His temperament was nothing short of a word.

steady.

Soon, Xia Yuan rushed over after receiving the summons. As soon as he stepped into the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, he felt keenly that the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.

Emperor Hongzhi had a calm face and handed over the memorial, "Here is a memorial from Changping Prefecture. Please take a look."

Seeing the emperor's heavy expression, combined with the words Changping Prefecture, Xia Yuan couldn't help but feel a little in his heart. Is that guy Wang Shouren really dead?

He took the report and started reading it with a heavy heart. When he saw the first part, he felt relieved. Fortunately, fortunately, Wang Shouren was not dead.

I am also safe.

If Wang Shouren died, he couldn't even imagine what Wang Hua would do to him. The picture was so cruel that he didn't even dare to think about it.

When he saw the middle, Xia Yuan's body shook and he took a breath of cold air.

This bitch

Are you too brave?

I specifically told you to go over and be ruthless and let me kill people to establish my authority. Can't you just pick a few people with no background and kill them?

Why did you kill the family members of a third-grade official?

Looking further down, it's okay, okay, the procedure is passable, and the killing is justified.

With more than 10,000 acres of hidden land, he had already been psychologically prepared for the urinary behavior of the Ming Dynasty officials and gentry, so he was not shocked at all.

Basic operations.

But the question is, how to deal with the aftermath of this matter. Once this matter reaches the court, it will be like a stone thrown into a pigsty. Those ministers will definitely scream like a chicken blood.

After reading the memorial, Xia Yuan looked at Emperor Hongzhi's face. He was not sure what the emperor's attitude was towards this.

"Your Majesty, I have finished reading."

Emperor Hongzhi hummed and asked, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty's thoughts." It was difficult to answer this. Xia Yuan was very cautious and asked: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"I think this matter has been done well. Since it is a reform, it must be decisive and ruthless."

Xia Yuan knew something in his heart. He should embrace the leadership, follow the leader's steps, say whatever the leader says, and unite under the leader's banner. This is the self-cultivation of the workers.

So he followed up and said: "I also feel that this matter was done very well. I punched it away to avoid hundreds of punches! This killing can be said to have made all the officials and gentry in Changping Prefecture fearful. This pilot project in Changping Prefecture has become a success."

, we will be able to implement it smoothly and smoothly.”

"It's good that one of them can be punched away, so that hundreds of punches won't come!" Emperor Hongzhi praised loudly, but then the conversation suddenly changed and he asked in a low voice: "Then how do you think about the aftermath of this matter?"

"Your Majesty is worried about the reaction of Liu Yushi and the officials to this matter?"

"When the news of Changping Prefecture reaches the capital, there will definitely be a big uproar, and there will be one soon."

This report was sent quickly by the factory guard in Changping Prefecture, and Changping was only a hundred miles away from the capital. It would not take a few hours for all the officials in the capital, and even ordinary people and hawkers to know about it.

In this era, there is little information, and most people in the world live their lives clinging to their one-third of an acre of land, completely unaware of what is going on in the outside world.

But the people in the capital were an exception. They were surprisingly well-informed. They even knew everything about what happened in the palace. No one knew how they got the miscellaneous information.

The people of Chaoyang are so terrified.

How this matter is handled will affect the people in the capital's later tea-time conversations, and the people's sentiments must be taken seriously.

"I feel that in the aftermath of this incident, Liu Yushi was also executed on charges of rebellion, so as to set an example and shock all officials."

No wonder Wang Shouren was so decisive and ruthless. It turned out that the source was here. Emperor Hongzhi never expected to get such an answer. He lost his voice and said, "You said Liu Xiyao will be executed?"

"How can he get away with it if his family members conspire to rebel? Besides, his family members are almost dead, so there is no point in living. It is better to send him down to reunite with his relatives."

"Don't you think it's inappropriate to deal with it this way?"

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi asking such a question, Xia Yuan could only shake his head secretly, it was still too steady.

He had no choice but to say in another way: "Your Majesty, Wang Shouren killed those dozens of people because they resisted national policies and gathered people to cause chaos. Is this treason?"

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have anticipated what he was going to say, "This matter is a rebellion, but you also know that this is different from a real rebellion."

"Your Majesty, no matter what the difference is, rebellion is rebellion. No matter what other people think, this is rebellion. Rebellion is a major crime against the nine tribes. Now that only two tribes have been destroyed, it can be regarded as the court's mercy. Since this is Liu Xiyao

If a tribesman is suspected of treason, he must be dealt with together, otherwise, this is not treason."

This is a bit confusing, but Xia Yuan has only one core idea, and this matter must be classified as rebellion.

Otherwise, we are tearing down the platform of reform.

And if it is to be classified as treason, then no matter what Liu Xiyao's status is, let alone just a deputy imperial envoy, even if he is the imperial censor, no matter what cabinet minister, as long as he is not the emperor, he will die.

Since ancient times, there has been no bloodless sacrifice in the reform. For today's reform, Liu Yushi will be the first to be attacked.

What's more, his family and relatives are almost dead. If he is left alive, God knows what this person will do. If he wants to take revenge on society or something, it is better to send him down to reunite and have a whole family.
