From the beginning to the end, what Zhu Youxiao wanted to do was to do this, not to clean up the Donglin Party.

No matter who is in an important position, I will deal with him. This has nothing to do with who is in the position. All I have to do is choose people who listen to me.

This has never changed.

As for what this person was like, Zhu Youxiao had never thought about it.

Yan Song and Xu Jie during the reign of Emperor Jiajing, who was good and who was bad?

As an emperor, I never judge people based on their good or bad qualities.

Didn't Emperor Qianlong know what kind of person He Shen was? Why did he still use him? This is the emperor's mentality.

What Zhu Youxiao wants to see now is whether Chen Kedao is up to standard.

If this is a qualified person, then I will naturally use him;

If this person is not a qualified person, you should still use him, but in a different way.

If Chen Kedao is qualified, he can be released; if he is not qualified, he can only be used as a tablet.

No one was brought with him, so Luo Sigong's trip took a long time.

At the same time, in the East Factory.

Wei Zhongxian was looking at the confession in front of him with joy. This confession came from Yao Zongwen.

Last time at Dali Temple, Wei Zhongxian was tricked so much by Yao Zongwen that he almost died.

Fortunately, Feng Sanyuan formed a clique for personal gain.

This time, with Yao Zongwen's confession, Wei Zhongxian could not only vent his anger, but also win the game.

As for whether someone said that he framed Yao Zongwen, Wei Zhongxian didn't care at all, and he didn't think it was a big deal.

The whole thing depends on whether Your Majesty believes it or not.

If your Majesty believes that Yao Zongwen was framed by him, then everything will be over; if your Majesty believes in himself, then Yao Zongwen's confession is true.

Even if this confession was really written by myself, it would still be true.

As for whom His Majesty will believe, Wei Zhongxian is not worried at all.

It is a certainty that Yao Zongwen and others accepted bribes. His Majesty knew it in his heart, and Wei Zhongxian also knew it in his heart. No matter how much the Donglin Party members tried to quibble, it would be useless.

Putting down the confession in his hand, Wei Zhongxian raised his head, glanced at Sun Yunhe, and asked directly: "Is he okay?"

In the past few days, Sun Yunhe has been tortured, and the methods are very violent.

Wei Zhongxian was still worried that Sun Yunhe had killed someone. It didn't matter if he was injured, but if he was really killed, things would become very troublesome. Although he was not afraid, there was no need to cause such trouble.

Sun Yunhe also understood the seriousness and nodded directly, "Don't worry, Lord Governor. He is fine. I have arranged for a doctor to see him."

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said with a smile: "This is the best. Now the trial on the case of falsely accusing Xiong Tingbi is almost over. The facts are clear and there is nothing more to say. The case can be closed."

"The next thing I want to ask is the case of forming a party for personal gain. This time Yao Zongwen confessed that they were instructed by Zou Yuanbiao to impeach Xiong Tingbi. You ask other people to implement this case. There is also the prison in Dali Temple

Inside, the words Zhang Laosan brought to them were implemented on Yang Lian."

"When these are done! We can arrest Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian and ask some other things from their mouths. Then we can settle this case of clique for personal gain!"

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Sun Yunhe's face was filled with joy, and there was a bright light in his eyes.

If this can be achieved, Dongchang's power will be greatly enhanced.

"Don't worry, Lord Governor, I will do my best in my humble position and will never let my father-in-law down!" Sun Yunhe bowed and clasped his fists, and said loudly.

Seeing Sun Yunhe's excited look, Wei Zhongxian also laughed, his laughter was very hearty, with a proud look on his face.

I have finally waited for this day.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Kedao standing in front of him, slightly surprised.

It's really because this Chen Kedao is completely different from the image he imagined.

In Zhu Youxiao's mind, if Chen Kedao was not a graceful scholar, at least he had the image of an old master.

The result was completely contrary to what Zhu Youxiao thought. Chen Kedao was a middle-aged man in his 30s. He was short in stature. He looked a little over 1.5 meters tall and should have been less than 1.6 meters tall.

Moreover, his face was a little dark, his figure was thin, and he did not look like a wife.

"Chen Kedao," Zhu Youxiao called Chen Kedao, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Do you have any fame?"

This point is very critical to Chen Kedao.

If Chen Kedao has a reputation, then he will have more choices when using him. He can not only stick to the private sector, but also give him an official status, so that he can do things with half the effort.

"Your Majesty, the student is a scholar." Chen Kedao said.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, it was enough to have the honor of being a civil servant.

In this era, the standard for being an official has already been met.

It's just that for many people, the starting point and the upper limit for promotion are too low. Instead of going out to be an official, it is better to farm at home.

Becoming a local gentry is the best choice for people.

After all, all officials in the officialdom are Jinshi, and you are naturally inferior to others. It is not easy to be an official.

Of course, there were not no officials in the Ming Dynasty who reached high positions with their background as a juren. The most typical example is Hai Rui.

In the 28th year of Jiajing's reign, Hai Rui passed the provincial examination and was first appointed as the magistrate of Nanping, Fujian Province. Later, he was promoted to the magistrate of Chun'an, Zhejiang and Xingguo County, Jiangxi. He promoted clearing the heads of government, leveling taxes, and repeatedly redressed unjust, false and wrong cases, and cracked down on corrupt officials, winning the hearts of the people. He successively served as the prefectural judge, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the head of the Ministry of War, Shang Baocheng, the general manager of the two capitals, and the censor of the right capital.

Hai Rui cracked down on tycoons, dredged rivers, built water conservancy projects, advocated severe punishment of corrupt officials, prohibited accepting bribes for personal gain, and implemented a whip law to force corrupt officials to return their fields to the people, thus earning him the reputation of "Haiqingtian".

Yang Lian's reputation as the most honest official was not favored by Zhu Youxiao; in comparison, Hai Rui's reputation as an incorruptible official was favored by Zhu Youxiao.

Not only do I admire him, but I admire him from the bottom of my heart. It is the admiration of two lifetimes.

Hai Rui advocated not taking a stitch from the people, but going to the countryside at the grassroots level and preparing their own meals; when officials went to the lower level for inspection, local officials greeted them, and the food and drinks must be customized; eating and drinking with public funds was prohibited, and excessive eating and drinking was strictly prohibited.

It can be said that Hai Rui's ideas are advanced and epoch-making, and this is where he is not recognized.

Zhu Youxiao remembered clearly that after the fall of Zhang Juzheng, Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun always valued Hai Rui's reputation, and in the first month of the following year he called Hai Rui to be the censor of Nanjing Youqiandu.

On the way to his appointment, he was changed to the right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Hai Rui was already seventy-two years old at the time. He was aging and dying. He was willing to imitate the ancients' advice on corpses and listed the punishments of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The regulations state that corruption should be punished in this way.

Other plans for current affairs are very practical.

I only advised the emperor to use brutal punishment, which was considered wrong by the review at the time. The second update is presented. Zhou Zhou has been coughing non-stop, and his hands are shaking. I guess there are typos. I have tried my best to correct them. I hope you don't mind. Good night everyone, and don't stay up late during this period.
