Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chu Ze sat on the dragon throne with a cold light in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was so depressing that it was hard to breathe.

As the purge of the Ministry of Revenue unfolded, the shock within the imperial court became increasingly evident.

Those officials who once held great power in the court were brought down one after another under Chu Ze's drastic measures.

The arrest of Minister of Revenue Deng Antu led to the exposure of a chain of interests, and countless officials were dragged into this catastrophe.

“Deng Antu is just a fish in this big net.”

"What I want is to tear the entire net apart and catch all the termites in one fell swoop!"

Chu Ze looked at the memorial in front of him and said coldly.

"I will use the most severe means to make those who dare to betray the court pay the price."

"Order the Ministry of Justice to make public the evidence of all those involved in the Deng Antu case."

"Anyone who colluded with the remaining gang members and embezzled taxes will have their property confiscated and their heads displayed to the public!"

The eunuch Wang Gonggong quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will convey your majesty's order right now."

Chu Ze nodded, with endless coldness in his eyes.

"Over the years, corruption within the imperial court has reached an intolerable level."

"I will use this massive purge to shock the entire imperial court."

"From now on, all officials must know that the price of betraying me is death without a burial place!"

While he was thinking, Lu Bing walked quickly into the imperial study and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I will conduct a thorough investigation of all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital according to your Majesty's order."

"So far, dozens of officials have been arrested, most of whom had dealings with Deng Antu."

"After interrogation, it was found that many of these people were involved in a deeper network of interests."

"Among them, Zhao Kun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, actually participated in the allocation of materials for the Jiangnan rebellion. His crime is so serious that he deserves death."

When Chu Ze heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Zhao Kun?"

"This old man has been in the Ministry of Revenue for many years and has always been known for his integrity. I didn't expect that he is also a corrupt official!"

"If he dares to participate in the Jiangnan rebellion, I will never let him die easily."

"Pass on my order to put Zhao Kun in the Heavenly Prison and hand him over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice for joint trial."

"Don't let anyone who has anything to do with him go."

"I will eliminate all these cancers and let the Ministry of Revenue regain new life!"

Lu Bing quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will arrange it immediately!"

Chu Ze nodded, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"This cleansing operation will not stop at the Ministry of Revenue."

"I will also take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate all officials in the entire court."

"All forces related to corruption, collusion with the traitors, and collusion with foreign enemies will not be spared!"

"This storm will sweep across the entire court and let everyone feel my majesty!"

Lu Bing's heart trembled, and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"I will mobilize the Royal Guards right now to carry out your majesty's orders!"

After saying that, he turned around quickly and retreated quickly.

Chu Ze watched his back, his eyes filled with endless determination.

"The court has been eroded by these corrupt bureaucrats and is riddled with holes."

"If it is not thoroughly rectified, the hidden dangers in the future will be unimaginable."

"I will use this great purge to catch all the disloyal and lawless people one by one."

"Only by using iron and blood to judge crimes can we rebuild a clean and powerful court!"

At the same time, inside and outside the capital, official circles in various places were plunged into panic.

The Jinyiwei's thorough investigation is everywhere.

A large number of officials were arrested, some were executed in public, and some were secretly detained and interrogated.

Everyone in the court felt insecure. Many people began to submit memorials, requesting self-inspection and confessing their own problems in the hope of obtaining Chu Ze's forgiveness.

However, Chu Ze's attitude was extremely firm.

He also showed no mercy to any officials who reported the incident voluntarily, but dealt with them according to the law without any mercy.

"I will use the most severe means to shock everyone."

"Let them know that confessing guilt does not bring forgiveness."

"Only an iron-blooded reckoning can bring true justice to the imperial court."

Just as Chu Ze was lost in thought, Eunuch Wang hurried in again and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, many officials from aristocratic families in the capital have gathered together to discuss countermeasures."

"They tried to submit a joint petition, asking His Majesty to stop the purge and reconsider the campaign." "Many of these people are officials who have close ties with Deng Antu. They are worried that they will be implicated, so they tried to boycott together."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze showed a sneer on his face, with endless coldness in his eyes.

"How dare they unite to resist my orders?"

"These people are so stupid!"

"Pass on my decree. All officials who participated in the petition will be dismissed and investigated."

"Anyone who dares to defy the imperial order will die!"

"I want them to understand that I am the only one who has the final say in this world!"

Eunuch Wang quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Old slave, I'll make arrangements now."

Chu Ze watched Eunuch Wang leave, murderous intent surging in his heart.

"These bureaucrats from aristocratic families have been entrenched in the court for many years and have long since formed a huge interest group."

"Do they think they can defy my orders by relying on their connections and wealth?"

"They really underestimated my determination!"

"This time, I will completely eradicate all their roots and make it impossible for them to stand up again!"

At the same time, the situation in the capital became increasingly tense.

Those officials from aristocratic families who once possessed tremendous power are now in danger in this storm.

The Jinyiwei's investigation was pervasive, and many people were found to have committed crimes such as corruption, collusion with the party, and treason.

Those officials who once tried to unite to resist Chu Ze's orders are now being thrown into jail one by one, and the most severe trial is waiting for them.

The garrisons and Jinyiwei in Jiangnan, Beibing and other places also launched a comprehensive purge operation under Chu Ze's orders.

All forces that colluded with the rebels and attempted rebellion were eliminated one by one.

The entire Ming Dynasty was in a grim atmosphere.

Those forces that had been causing trouble in the dark were all cleared out.

Chu Ze stood in the imperial study, listening to the news of victory, and the murderous intent in his heart gradually subsided.

"Over the years, corruption and rebellion inside and outside the court have reached an intolerable level."

"I will use this thorough purge to deter all those who attempt to challenge the majesty of the court."

"No matter who they are, they will eventually be brought to justice under my iron fist."

He slowly walked to the window, looked at the sky in the distance, and had a new plan in his mind.

“This purge is just the beginning.”

"Next, I will further rectify the court and ensure that all power is under the control of the court."

"From now on, no one can abuse their power for personal gain."

"No one can be above the laws of the court anymore!"

He slowly closed his eyes, and a complete plan was already in his mind.

"I will use this massive purge to restore stability and prosperity to the entire Ming Dynasty."

“Let all those who attempt to destroy the Ming Dynasty completely disappear in the long river of history.”

Just as he was thinking, Eunuch Wang walked into the imperial study again and whispered, "Your Majesty, Zhao Kun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has already revealed many officials who colluded with him."

"Among them, officials from the Ministry of Works, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Personnel were also involved."

"These people are more or less closely connected to the Jiangnan rebels."

Chu Ze heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a cold look appeared on his face.

laugh.

"Is it so far-reaching?"

"very good!"

"This is exactly the evidence I want!"

"Pass on my order. All officials involved will be dealt with according to the law."

"This time, I will use the most severe means to completely eradicate all their roots!"

Eunuch Wang was shocked and quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will convey it right away!"

Chu Ze watched him leave, his eyes filled with endless determination.

"Corrupt officials, remnants of aristocratic families, and parasites in the court."

"All forces that attempt to shake the Ming Dynasty will eventually be wiped out under my iron fist!"

He slowly walked to the desk, picked up the pen, and wrote a few powerful words on the memorial.

"This iron-blooded judgment will completely shock the entire world!"

"Let everyone know that my kingdom will never be allowed to be tarnished by anyone!" (End of this chapter)
