Chapter 1135 Integrity Storm
The progress of the matter was as expected by Xu Jie. After probing a few times, Gao Gong found that Xu Jie was really honest, and he was a transparent person in the cabinet, which reminded people of Xu Jie when Yan Song was in power.This made Gao Gong look down on Xu Jie deeply in his heart, and at the same time Gao Gong also started his own administrative program.

Originally, Gao Gong was pure and noble, but seeing Luo Xin killing him all the way, there were so many corrupt officials.Emperor Jiajing took 70 taels of silver from the internal treasury for disaster relief, but only 10 taels were used for disaster relief. Those corrupt officials actually embezzled 60 taels, which made Gao Gong extremely angry.In the cabinet, he repeatedly shot the table and shouted "Good kill!".

Seeing that Luo Xin finished killing those corrupt officials, he immediately added officials.Moreover, those officials governed Qingming, managed those provinces in an orderly manner, the refugees and bandits disappeared, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

To say, one is clear and the other is high.This cleanness means incorruptibility, and this highness means superiority.This supremacy is spiritual supremacy.

Gao Gong only saw the new officials appointed by Luo Xin, who were honest and self-disciplined, and managed the local government in an orderly manner.No one took bribes, and no one dawdled in position.However, they instinctively ignored that the reason why these people are like this is not that they like to work hard, it is not that they don't like money, it's that they are afraid of seeing Luo Xin's vigorous killing.

If they were still in the capital, this kind of killing would be over, at most it would become a topic of conversation after dinner.However, right in front of their eyes, watching the heads fall one by one from a close distance, the impact on their hearts was too great.Under such circumstances, where would you dare to embezzle?Where do you dare to mess around?

At the very least, there will be no corruption and dawdling in the short term.You need to wait for the passage of time, the impact in your heart will slowly disappear, and the seeds of greed will slowly germinate.

Gao Gong didn't see it, what he saw was that as long as those corrupt officials were dismissed...

Not bad!

Just dismissed from office!

He was not crazy enough to kill corrupt officials like Luo Xin did.He only wanted to dismiss those corrupt officials and replace them with a new batch of officials.Those new officials must be as honest and self-disciplined as those arranged by Luo Xin, and work hard.In this way, Daming will soon be revived in his own hands, and history will leave a strong mark on him.

Gao Gong clearly understands that Daming's corruption has reached the point where it cannot be cured.When Yan Song was in power, corruption was common in Daming, and there were almost no people who were not corrupt.After Yan Song, Xu Jie was in charge.But not long after Xu Jie came to power, Gao Gong joined the cabinet.These two people fought in the cabinet, and they did not effectively fight corruption. Instead, for their own purposes, sometimes they had to turn a blind eye.

but……

Today's Gao Gong feels that he has mastered the cabinet and should do something.If you want to make a difference, you must first start with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so Gao Gong began to act vigorously.His first step was to tidy up the Metropolitan Procuratorate.In fact, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is like a small imperial court, divided into several forces.

One belongs to Gao Gong, one belongs to Xu Jie, and the other belongs to the middle school.And this centrist has two strands, one is originally centrist, they are clean streams and do not depend on anyone.One share originally belonged to Yan Song. After Yan Song's downfall, Xu Jie and Gao Gong were busy fighting for power and profit, and Yan Song's people behaved with their tails between their legs, dawdling around every day, so they were not dismissed from office.

However, now it is different.

Gao Gong felt that he had completely controlled the cabinet, Xu Jie had nothing to fear, and it was time for him to take drastic action.Therefore, he first attacked Yan Song's people. Those people are shit, as long as they are willing to look for them, they will naturally find evidence of corruption and bribery. In just two days, Gao Gong dismissed these people one after another.Then they started to target Xu Jie's people. Those who caught eight handles were dismissed from office, and those who had no evidence were transferred away.In less than five days, he controlled the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate in his own hands.Then he appointed Wang Xijue as the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It can be said that Wang Xijue has reached the sky in one step. He is in charge of a yamen at a young age, and his spirit is high.Moreover, young people are full of vigor, and they can't get used to those corrupt officials and officials who dawdle.After taking office, he wrote a booklet to Emperor Jiajing, and the content of the booklet was to govern the conduct of officials in the Ming Dynasty.

What state was Emperor Jiajing in at this time?
His state is similar to that of Gao Gong.

I just saw that Luo Xin killed the corrupt officials, and saw that after killing these corrupt officials, the place was not in chaos, but under the governance of the new officials, it was in order, especially when I saw the ransacking of the corrupt officials' homes. , solved part of Daming's finances.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing readily agreed to Wang Xijue's suggestion.He was still waiting for Wang Xijue to punish a group of corrupt officials like Luo Xin did, and it would be best if he could confiscate another group of officials and get him more money.

Wang Xijue received the permission of Emperor Jiajing and the support of Gao Gong, so he gathered more than 100 imperial envoys from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and held an oath meeting.

At the swearing-in meeting, more than 100 imperial envoys screamed like chicken blood.

These envoys haven't been this happy for a long time.Ever since Emperor Jiajing's great etiquette, the imperial envoy had his spine broken by Emperor Jiajing, and the upright and upright imperial envoy almost disappeared.Instead, it has become a gun for all forces to compete for and a tongue for attacking others.

but……

It's different now, Wang Xijue said, this time no matter which camp or who they are, their duty is to picket and impeach officials for corruption and bribery.Any villain who forms a party will be impeached.All inaction, impeachment.All chaos, impeachment.Anyone who corrupts morals will be impeached.Etc., etc.

More than 100 royal envoys are excited, it's really... It's never been so exciting.Finally, the impeachment can be fully and vividly.At this moment, the spine that was broken by Emperor Jiajing seemed to be straight again, and the sense of sacredness that had disappeared for a long time, being used as a gun and a tongue, seemed to have returned.

These envoys were like hungry wolves, howling and rushing towards Baiguan.

So, bad luck for Baiguan!
Can you be unlucky?
I am afraid of being serious about anything. Even if an official is not corrupt, has no cliques, and is not mediocre, but as long as you do things, there will be problems.A group of envoys who have been beaten with blood are staring at you with red eyes, and they can't find anything wrong?
With the support of Gao Gong and the joint efforts of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials, the storm of clean government swept the entire Ming Dynasty.Numerous officials were sacked, and many of them were big tigers.
