Chapter fifty-one: clear traitor

The next day, early in the morning, just after surrendering, Gao Shun, who was appointed as the Left General, led a 5,000 army into the city in a mighty manner. The Jingzhao Prefecture Office arrested all the scholars who surrounded Zhu Jun's mansion that day. Such actions immediately made all the scholars tremble. Many people understood that Niu Fu started to take action.

The surging iron army and sharp blades instantly calmed Chang'an a lot. However, there were some scholars who didn't know the so-called "State" and thought Niu Fu had no need to be afraid, so they even began to blame Niu Fu. The consequence was that they were beaten by iron rods and brought to prison, and the qualification for reference Fenghao Academy was abolished.

Soon, the Chang'an Government Office issued a notice from Jingzhao Yin Jia Xu, and the court would give all scholars an explanation as soon as possible, but it would never be allowed to disrupt the public security of the imperial capital.

On this day, five people from the Hou Mansion, including Yang Biao, Ma Riyi, Huang Pusong, Cai Yong and Zhao Qi, came here.

"The cause of the incident was that Sikong Zhang Xi was not obeying the morality of ministers, forming cliques for personal gain, and deceiving the emperor. Here is a list of party ministers, let's take a look!" After Niu Fu waved his hand, two officials stood beside him, among which Mao Jie was also there. After nodding slightly, he took a few silk books and gave them to the ministers present.

After Yang Biao and others took it, they were shocked. The list of accomplices given by Niu Fu was as high as 30 people. Are they planning to wipe out the old ministers?

"Marquis Changling, Han Rong, a great master, is a little wrong, but he will not die." Huang Pusong couldn't help but say first.

Hearing this, Niu Fu stood with Mao Jie before he could speak. The official with short beards and cold eyes had already stood up first and said arrogantly: "The old general, Han Rong, is the main member of the treacherous party, has no distinction between public and private, which has caused dissatisfaction among scholars. The chaos in Chang'an almost destroyed the prestige of the court. It is really worthy of death."

Huang Pusong's face darkened, "Censor Hou, the crime is Zhang Xi, the veteran does not object, but the veteran does not believe that so many people are Zhang Xi's accomplices. Does he have such great ability?"

"Elder General, if you have any objections, then the Hou withdraws and leave the matter to you," Niu Fu said lightly.

Huang Pusong looked shocked, and a hint of anger immediately appeared on his face.

"Marquis" At this time, when Cai Yong was about to stand up and talk, Niu Fu waved his hand and said seriously: "This marquis has made up his mind and cannot be changed. I have said just now that this is the final list. No name can be changed. All scholars must be given an explanation."

Hearing this, the five people present were shocked. This was not a discussion, but just notifying them.

After a slight silence, Yang Biao suddenly said in a cold voice: "This list is very good."

"Wenxian" Huang Pusong said in surprise.

"The most important thing now is to stabilize the order in Chang'an and reopen Fenghao Academy. Otherwise, things will become more and more serious." Yang Biao said seriously to the other four people. At this time, it was meaningless to oppose them. Once they disagree, the chaos of scholars will continue, and they will be completely over.

"Okay" Niu Fu smiled and looked at Yang Biao and said, "Then everyone sign it."

When the five people present signed their names with helplessness and even guilt, Niu Fu asked Yang Biao to keep them for the time being.

"Taiwei, I heard that you have a son who is extremely intelligent. He learns from one example and never forgets everything. I wonder if it is?" Niu Fu smiled.

Yang Biao was shocked and hurriedly said, "Marty is serious, Xiu'er is impetuous and stupid."

"Haha, you are too modest. I like Yang Xiu very much. I heard that he is also preparing to take the assessment. He is also at the age of becoming an official. When the assessment is completed, let him come to the Marquis' Mansion!" Niu Fu said.

"Marquis" Yang Biao was suddenly a little anxious.

"Why, the Grand Marshal doesn't look down on the Marquis' Mansion?" Niu Fu said with a smile.

"No, it's just Xiu'er, he is really not enough."

"It's not enough to be tempered, this matter is settled." After Niu Fu said, he took Mao Jie and Hou Wen away.

After Yang Biao took a look, he sighed deeply. Although Niu Fu let him go, he did not allow him to have another chance to make trouble. He only had Yang Xiu, which was related to the inheritance of the entire Yang family.

....

On the next day.

In Yilang Zhao Yan's mansion, when Zhong Yao came with a large number of Tingwei's yamen runners, he looked at his family crying all over the ground. Not far away, Zhao Yan, who was hanging on the hanging beam, walked over, took a closer look, and said expressionlessly: "Yilang Zhao Yan, who committed suicide for fear of crime, the marquis has an order to leave the whole body to bury."

"promise"

...

On the other hand, in the mansion of Han Rong of the Great Honglu, Hou Wen held an imperial edict, looked at Han Rong who was kneeling in front of him, and said coldly: "The Great Honglu Han Rong did not distinguish between public and private affairs, and the party attacked the differences, causing trouble to the court and causing trouble to Chongwen, but because he had made contributions to protecting the emperor, he was specially given poisonous wine to death."

Hearing this, the soldier next to him immediately walked up with a glass of poisonous wine.

Han Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled all over, looked at Hou Wen with a pale face and gritted his teeth and said, "The real treacherous minister is him Niu Fu, not us."

"Haha, I'm so bold. Now, I dare to slander the Marquis and beat me up." Hou Wen suddenly said with hatred.

As soon as "Nuo" finished speaking, several soldiers rushed out and beat Han Rong with wooden sticks, and a wail sounded instantly.

After a while, looking at Han Rong, who was lying on the ground with blood on his face and unable to move, Hou Wen walked over and said coldly: "Han Honglu, do you remember how you insulted someone?"

"Hou Wen, you, you didn't have a good result," Han Rong said hatred.

"Is that so? It's a pity that you can't see it." Hou Wen shook his head and said, "Since he doesn't want to drink, please help him."

"promise"

Under the force of the soldiers, Han Rong was forced to drink poisoned wine. Soon, he vomited blood. After trembling all over, he died unwillingly on the ground.

"Corrupt the entire Han family and see how much corruption is available," Hou Wen waved.

"promise"

...

In the Sikong Mansion, Li Ru, who came in person with the Hu Guard, looked at Zhang Xi who drew his sword and committed suicide in the blood on the ground. After shaking his head slightly, he suddenly moved his eyes and walked slowly over. He saw a silk book on Zhang Xi's right hand.

Li Ru picked it up and took a closer look, looked at the dead Zhang Xi, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, the Marquis will not kill your family."

After saying that, he looked at everyone present and said, "I just said that Sikong died of illness."

"promise"

After saying that, Li Ru turned around and left with the man. The reason why they waited for a day before taking action was to give Yang Biao and the others time to inform them of their own detention, so that they would not take action.

Next, in just two days, more than 30 officials in the court committed suicide, were killed, or imprisoned, and hundreds of family members were exiled to various places. At the same time, a group of officials belonging to the Marquis's Mansion began to take office. After this purge, Niu Fu's power had an absolute advantage. Li Ru, Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhong Yao, Zhou Zhong, Wang Can, Hou Wen and others were all nominated for senior officials in the court, of which nine ministers occupied five, and three remained, which also showed loyalty.

Not long after, the Grand Marshal Yang Biao and Situ Ma Rizhen resigned from the position of the Three Dukes, but they were eventually rejected by Niu Fu. Yan San Duke was still in the process of being there. The Censor Zhao Qi took over the throne of Sikong and ordered the burial of Zhu Jun.

The removal of the court also came into the mouths of scholars, which immediately aroused the cheers of many poor scholars.

At the same time, Niu Fu officially ordered that in order to ensure fairness and justice, all assessments will be conducted through written tests. He will personally invigilate the exam. Anyone who attempts to commit favoritism and fraud will be severely punished.

On this day, in the Hou's Mansion, Niu Fu looked at Li Ru and said unexpectedly: "Grand Sima?"
