Qiming 1158

Chapter 851 Therefore, Su Yonglin now prefers physical means
After a period of rigorous interrogation, there are still many clues revealed. In addition to these bigwigs, many departments of the imperial court have exploded.

As a result, about 150 officials and officials, large and small, were taken down.

I really don't know if I don't check it, I'm shocked when I check it.

In addition to a few high-ranking officials, many petty officials under them gave full play to the traditional skills of petty officials and huge corruption, and devoured the state money inhumanely.

Several engineering orders issued by Shangshu Province were secretly devoured by some people after they were issued and before the state money was released from the warehouse, bringing the bureaucratic traditional arts into full play.

Most of the senior officials were unaware, but some knew the inside story, but did not stop them. Instead, they secretly took benefits and existed as their patrons.

Su Yonglin was furious, and issued the highest order, sentenced to death if he could, and would not tolerate it.

Under such instructions, the joint team of the three judicial divisions conducted extremely severe interrogations and punishments for the offenders and accomplices.

Cao Kai, the former right servant of the Ministry of Finance, was sentenced to 20 years in prison. His whole family was sent to Jishi Prefecture in the frontier.

Zhou Jiang, the former left servant of the Ministry of Rites, was sentenced to 20 years in prison, all his families were sent to Jishi Prefecture in the frontier, and he would not be able to return if he was pardoned.

He sentenced Chen Jichang, the former left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to death, and sent him to Jishi Prefecture in the frontier. If he was pardoned, he could not return.

Chen Miao, a family member who committed crimes, was executed for embezzling 500 million yuan for the Yellow River project, and the rest were sent to Jishi Prefecture to do hard labor to repay the state.

He was sentenced to the dismissal of Shangshu Right Chancellor Huo Jianbai and four years of imprisonment.

His nephew, Hogg, who broke the law, was executed, and the people who assisted him in embezzling were also executed.

He sentenced Han Shiling, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to be dismissed and sentenced to four years in prison.

His brother Han Jue, who broke the law, was executed, and those who were implicated by relatives and friends were executed, and the rest were sent to the border Jishi Prefecture.

Wailang Yeluyi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was executed first for corruption. Those involved in the three ethnic groups were executed, and the rest were sent to the border Jishi Prefecture.

Foreign Minister Yelu Yixing, member of the Ministry of Finance, Sun Yixin, member of Shangshu Province, and Yelu Hu Dugu, director of Shangshu Province, were punished for both the main crime of corruption or the subordinate crime.

And the most severe and shocking treatment was the treatment of Kong.

Kong Fan and Kong Zhi, two branches of the Kong clan, were destroyed, and the two were beheaded for public display. Many of the male members of the family were executed for participating in the crime, and the rest were all distributed to Jishizhou.

The two main branches of the Kong family, Kong Zheng and Kong Yu, were basically destroyed.

Kong Zheng, as the spokesperson of the Kong family, knew the family's ills and did not report them. As a high-ranking official of the empire, he practiced favoritism and cheated. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison, which basically declared the end of his political and physical life.

As the county magistrate of Qufu and the person in charge of the Kong family's affairs, Kong Yu knew the family's ills and did not report them. He ignored the country's grace and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Like Kong Zheng, he has no future.

After the family members were examined, it was found that those who violated the law were either executed or sentenced to imprisonment.

The entire Kong family's main line, the entire family, was not forgiven, and even the branches scattered in other places were wiped out by Su Yonglin's order because of these relationships, and not a single one remained.

People who have relations and cooperation with them have basically been severely censored, but if there are problems, they will be wiped out, and they will not be tolerated. They vow to wipe away all traces of the Kong family in Shandong.

Of course, the Kong family's property, including money and real estate, all entered the state treasury, all the shops were not included in the state treasury, all the tenants entered the national register, and all the servants in the family were good and returned to the national register.

Because of special affairs, the whole process didn't even last more than a month. Almost 5000 Kong and his servants were dismembered by the violent machinery of the court within a month.

The related Shandong upper class circles were also dismembered by the Ming court in the next three months, and everything was digested in the stomach, and there were more than a hundred survivors.

The emperor lightly wiped out the Kong family within the Shandong province, as if the family never existed.

All the existences of the Kong family in Qufu County, which had the most serious traces, were also erased. Even the family books were escorted to the Zhongdu National Library for collection. The Kong family’s ancestral house was also demolished, and all the items inside were escorted to Zhongdu. .

Su Yonglin plans to open a national museum in Zhongdu City in the future, and put all these things in the museum for the world to visit, so that they can understand this absurd and reasonable time.

It will be a history, a testimony, a trace of a culture, not a powerful, religious symbol.

After all, these things that were once kept secret were not made by the children of the Confucian family, so after all, they should return to the group of their true creators and become a part of culture, not a part of power.

The Kong family and the feudal power represented by it have come to an end and come to an end from this moment. In contrast, in this anti-corruption storm represented by the handling of the Kong family, officials and officials who were found guilty of crimes were punished. Ming Ting handled it without pity.

Once a crime is committed, two generations of direct descendants are not allowed to take the imperial examinations, and the most serious is that four generations are not allowed to take the imperial examinations, which basically means the death of the family.

A large number of criminals were exiled to the frontier army town of Jishi Prefecture, where they would perform the most arduous and cruel labor under the supervision of the frontier army, so as to earn hard-earned money to repay the state money, as a punishment for their bribery and perversion of the law, and have the effect of killing chickens as an example to monkeys.

Su Yonglin declared the world with this anti-corruption storm. If you commit crimes in the Ming Dynasty, you must be prepared to implicate your descendants. Before you choose, you must think about your descendants!

With such a decision, Su Yonglin didn't pay any attention to any opposition. During the dispatch, the Yanyun Corps garrisoned in the capital searched and escorted offenders in large numbers, and wiped them out.

Interestingly, when Su Yonglin sent people into the Confucian Mansion in Zhongdu to search their homes, more than 50 Confucian scholars appeared outside the Confucian Mansion in Zhongdu. The judiciary enters.

Whenever a judicial officer was about to enter, these Confucian scholars would rush up to hug the leg of the judicial officer, preventing them from going in, crying out something like [Confucius does not exist, the country will not be the country]. attracted a large number of onlookers.

Kong Maojie, who presided over the liquidation, immediately ordered the judicial personnel to arrest all the more than 50 Confucian scholars and throw them into prison.

But this did not stop the actions of the Confucian scholars. Soon, more than 100 Confucian scholars appeared at the gate of the Confucian mansion to prevent the judicial personnel from liquidating the Confucian mansion.

Kong Maojie personally sat in the Confucius Mansion and arrested them all.

And these Confucian scholars are obviously not afraid.

A scholar who was caught in front of Kong Maojie spit at Kong Maojie.

"You have done something that no one has done for thousands of years. This is disrespect to the saint! The saint is in the spirit of the sky! It will punish you! It will punish you!"

Kong Maojie's face was cold and unmoved.

"When I was dying of starvation, the saint didn't come to save me. Since then, I don't believe in the saint. If he comes, come. If he comes, I will fry him in oil."

The Confucian scholar was stunned, and he couldn't say a word until he was tied up and taken away.

Su Yonglin wasn't sure whether it was someone secretly instigating this or the spontaneity of these Confucian scholars.

He prefers the latter, because what he is digging is the foundation of all Confucian scholars. Under the sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox, it can make some people lose their minds, and even use their lives to protect their own interests.

Regarding this kind of behavior, Su Yonglin in the past tended to use political means to attack and kill people, but now that he thought about it, doing so just delayed the problem.

It's better to let them emerge together, wash them together, and solve them together.

In the final analysis, this is a revolution, not a power struggle, and it is about liquidation, not attack.

Therefore, Su Yonglin now prefers physical means.

PS: I recommend a good book "My Steam Daming". It's very interesting. A Daming who has taken a crooked path and made a crooked technology point has a different style. If you are interested, you can go and see it.

PPS: It's the middle of the month, ask for a wave of monthly tickets and recommended tickets.
