At this moment, Ma Shaoyu, who witnessed the whole process, said: "Soldiers, calm down. Qiao Bosheng died for you. How can such a great sin of rebellion and rebellion be truly innocent because of surrender? We can play His Majesty Chen, appease before the battle, and only punish the evil and never hold him accountable. Qiao Bosheng grabbed the sword and killed himself, in order to take all the guilt in exchange for the innocence of your coercion. ”

Zhu Cihong whispered: "Don't worry, I will let the right post have a good result." ”

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, suddenly, Qiao Bosheng closed his eyes at some point, and seemed to be really dead.

Outside the prison of the country.

Xue Lian hurriedly rode his horse, sweating profusely, and rushed over with a group of scattered soldiers from the Shenji Battalion.

Where have these soldiers of the Shenji Battalion seen such a big battle in ordinary times, from the northwest side of Beicheng all the way to quell the chaos, although no one died and it was peaceful, but before they could live for a while, they were dragged by the main general to the Chongjiao Workshop in Dongcheng. Running back and forth like this is full of complaints.

But Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu, only urged even more, and whipped hard.

Finally, the door plaque of the Guozijian in front of him was far away, Xue Lian was ecstatic in his heart, and urged even more: "Sons, follow me to make a great contribution to quelling the rebellion!" ”

Xue Lian didn't finish speaking, but he saw a person slowly walking out of front of the gate of Guozijian, it was Ma Shaoyu, a staff member of the Ministry of War, who was wearing a five-grade civilian official uniform.

I saw Ma Shaoyu coldly glance at the audience, stared at Xue Lian and said, "Ma Shaoyu is in the staff of the Ministry of War." It turned out to be Marquis Xue of Yangwu? It seems that there are a lot of things to quell today. It's just that the right post of the five military camps has been pacified, so I won't work for Hou Xue! ”

Before Xue Lian could catch his breath, a mouthful of blood suddenly surged in his chest, and he almost wanted to fall off the horse.

He knew that the matter of quelling the chaos was over.

Their troubles have only just begun.

……

In the following days, the entire beginning of April in Beijing was shrouded in a joyful process of raiding the house. With the cooperation of the household liquidation team, the five city soldiers and horses of the Ministry of War, and the patrol of the city and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

With a mountain of ironclad evidence, the household rectification is in full swing. Similarly, because many of the officials and noble generals were involved in the rebellion. Makes the nobles die faster. And the leading noble generals, such as Yangwu Marquis Xue Lian, and Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen, were busy trying to get rid of their crimes, and naturally sold all the household officials and civil officials involved in an instant.

The entire household of the Zhejiang faction of the officials, the Guan Gou level of the Xu officials were almost one pot, the most serious is Chen Gaowen, after the house was raided, the men were exiled to Ningxia, and the women were all sold to the teaching workshop. Those who were a little more relaxed were also like Zhou Junliang, Wen Nanguo and Fei Jizong, who were fined and confiscated by their families, and their families were ruined. As for the others, although there are acts of corruption, but they are only slightly higher than the standard line of corruption, after the confiscation of the house, the leader of the person was exiled for thousands of miles, but the family was saved to survive a little.

These are the real tyrants who have been operating in the household for generations, digging three feet into the ground and hiding silver. One confiscation actually caused the treasury to increase by more than 2,290,000 taels of silver.

As for the eunuchs of the household department, Wang Zhengzhi, Nan Yunji and Yu Qing's disciples were also killed and robbed of their homes after being verified as criminal evidence, and their homes were miserable. There are also those who were pulled out of the radish and brought out of the mud, such as the military department's arsenal, the Qing official Shilang, Zhongyou Xiangyang, and other civilian officials were also quickly and thoroughly investigated, and there was no room for return.

It's just that the family background of these civil officials is really not as good as those officials except Wang Zhengzhi, so don't talk about it.

However, the best situation is to roar into the big time, Yongfang several palace stalls in the big family of a few noble generals, such as Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen, such as Yangwu Marquis Xue Lian, such as Zuoye deputy general Li Qibo. These people have a maximum of 200,000 taels of pain, and at least 50,000 taels of flesh, but there is nothing to do.

Chongzhen in the palace suddenly had more than 300,000 taels in the inner curry, and Chongzhen was so happy that he smiled, naturally he didn't know how much the big file in the palace could put into the bag.

……

March 30 of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. In front of the Fengtian Gate, the assembly is in court.

Chongzhen was reading: "The red sun is rising, and its way is bright." The river flows out of the subterranean and flows into the ocean. The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying. The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified. The falcon tries its wings, and the wind and dust are sucked up. The first child of a strange flower, the emperor. The cadres will be hairy, and there will be a man. The sky wears its firmament, the earth walks on its yellow, there are thousands of ages, and there are eight wildernesses. The future is like the sea, and the future is long. It's beautiful, I'm young and bright, and I'm not old; I am a young man of the Ming Dynasty, and the country has no borders! ”

"I have a good man, a good man! Go deep into the tiger's den and find out such a bunch of rats! In the three-year account book, the Beijing camp ate the blood of the soldiers, invaded the true color, took away the color, and the household moved up and down to stretch out their hands. You Xiangyang in the military arsenal Qing Lang, Wang Zhengzhi, the household servant, Zhongnan Yunji, and Yu Qing, the director of the household department, Yunnan Qing Shilang, Zhongnan Yunji, and Yu Qing. Zhang Shuchi, the general of the Beijing camp, such a civil and military general, his criminal evidence is conclusive, vivid, wait to see it, do you feel shocked? Chongzhen had never been so happy, and at the court meeting, he put aside the obscure official articles, and laughed heartily and said: "As for some scholars, they have colluded with your most shameless officials. The officials of the science and Taoism have a look, where is the right to wait for the wind to do things? Do you smell such corruption? Have you investigated? Listen to me, and show this court where your powers should be used! ”

Above the court, a cadre of civil officials and military generals all looked serious and did not say a word. Even Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet at the forefront of the literary class, also felt depressed and helpless. As Da Ming Zaifu, such a big case was only known to him at the stage when it was about to be closed. This feeling of being inexplicably rejected made Zhou Yanru vigilant and powerless. This situation is somewhat out of his control.

However, Wei Zhaocheng, a cabinet member in the same class, had a gloomy face, but his heart was dark. This time, no one got any good.

Thinking like this, Zhou Yanru was in a much better mood, and stepped forward and said: "Weichen congratulates Your Majesty, clarifies the court, and is more good minister." I ask Your Majesty to give you a reward and motivate the meritorious ......"

"Haha, good! Yixing is right. Fu Aiqing has already written a chapter and described his merits, and I have already put on red, and now I am waiting for the cabinet to agree. Since Yixing is the first assistant, it will be agreed on the spot. ”

"Shengming has no Son of Heaven. Grace from above, please Your Majesty to issue a document ......"

The program passed, and the eunuch Wang Chengen on the side began to slowly recite the reward.

"Fu Shuxun, the secretary of the household department, rectified the household department, raised food and salary, and was diligent and meritorious. The young master of the crown prince is ...... 5,000 taels of silver...... Yin Qi's son Fu Rugui is the hereditary thousand-family ...... of Jinyiwei"

"When Yin Wang Tingmei of Shuntian Mansion is diligent, the right attendant of the Jin household department ......"

"Guozi Priest Liquor Luo Daren is shrewd and has contributed to the rectification of the household. Jin Shun Tianfu Yin ......"

"Ma Shaoyu, the staff of the Ministry of War, contributed to the dynasty and pacified the rebellion in Beijing. The Imperial History of the Imperial Patrol of the Jingying of the Gadu Chayuan. ”

"The Yunnan Qing Officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs Zhao Mo Xie Yi, meritorious to the rectification of the Ministry of Households, loyal and diligent, Jin Yunnan Division member Wailang, temporarily leading the Yunnan Division General Affairs ......"

……

Among the courtiers, many people wondered.

One person's name is missing!
