The scene was silent, only Wang Kang's cold voice echoed.

Without any mercy, he directly drove the Duan family into the abyss. From his son and father, Duan Ziming was convicted of death. Duan Shengtong was imprisoned. His family's direct family was exiled...

This is already a great punishment.

You should know that after the establishment of the New Dynasty, the previous harsh criminal laws were abolished, and the three clans and five generations were killed at every turn, and instead chose to exile.

The Chu State before was the largest country in the mainland, and therefore had a lot of wasteland. In order to have sufficient labor, these criminals had a place to go.

Since it is a land reclamation, most of them are once barren lands with harsh conditions.

For these nobles, it may be more uncomfortable than killing them!

There is no doubt that this is a direct qualitative!

He didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and in fact he didn't need to defend himself. After all, Duan Ziming, a cheating guy, actually hit the emperor. This one alone was enough for him to die a hundred times.

There are also sufficient reasons to implicate the family. The new laws are implemented and strictly enforced. The nobles who violated the original state of nobility are unknown and are punished many times?

Now, it's just following in the footsteps.

No matter what.

Duan’s family, it’s over!

There is no chance to turn around again!

"No, Your Majesty, although I am incompetent in teaching my children, I cannot be implicated because of this, let alone my family..."

Duan Shengtong raised his head, his face changed, and he said anxiously.

This is too serious.

He must fight for opportunities.

Wang Kang ignored him at all, but looked at Guo Zude and said, "Mr. Guo, as a central official, you are the second-rank minister, so I will leave this matter to you to investigate. The joke is so arrogant, there must be a reason. I need more evidence of the crime, do you understand?"

Everyone was stunned again.

Everyone knows that Duan Shengtong's rise is inseparable from Guo Zude. They were originally from the same family, but now they handed Duan Shengtong over to Guo Zude to investigate.

Is Duan Shengtong a problem?

Of course there is.

If you didn’t kill him directly, I’m afraid he would bite out more people!

This move is too ruthless!

Then should Mr. Guo check or not?

Whether it is handling impartially or deliberately letting go of water, it will not be good...

Guo Zude also understood this.

This was to put him on the fire, and he wanted to refuse, but he looked at the cold gaze of the Majesty.

He knew that he could not refuse.

This Majesty is scheming and the emperor's power is extremely clever.

He is back.

Then you know you're obedient.

"Are you a bad minister, please do your order."

Hearing this.

Duan Shengtong's eyes were filled with incredible expressions.

If Guo Zude doesn't speak for him and doesn't help him, it's not appropriate. Why did he respond directly?

Could it be said that yes, and then protect it for the time being?

Yes, that must be the case.

Duan Shengtong knew how big his problem was, and he couldn't stand the investigation at all, but Lord Guo was the chief official, and if he had many problems, he could let go...

That's better!

Others also have this idea, after all, this is human nature.

But Guo Zude understood that this was a test given to him by His Majesty. If he could not investigate impartially, he would be finished!

Maybe...can you check it?

He probably knew something that the reason why Duan Shengtong was so arrogant was not just because he had his support, but because there was someone else behind him!

Otherwise, how could he be the Minister of the Shangshu Province?

You know, the Secretary of State Reign Ouyang Wen has always followed His Majesty's old man.

He is also the leader of the three major factions in the court.

The conservative school refers to the ministers of the previous dynasty, such as Guo Zude, Duan Shengtong and others.

Because they were from the previous dynasty, many of their ideas and ideas still retain the legacy of the previous dynasty, and naturally gather together to keep warm and form a school.

The Xinzhuang faction refers to the newly promoted officials after the founding of the New Dynasty. These people were humble from humble origins, but had talent and were once depressed and unsuccessful, and were valued. They had no deep background, and the leader was Wen Zhang, the secretary of the court.

There is another faction, also known as the royal relatives, which is not the royal relatives, but the subordinates who have followed Wang Kang for many years and have made great contributions during the establishment of the New Dynasty.

For example, like Ouyang Wen.

Of course, this is the name of people in private. It cannot be placed on the surface, but it really exists...

This is the pattern of the court.

Duan Shengtong, as a conservative, went directly to the Shangshu Province, which was mainly royal sects. The water behind this is very deep...

Thoughts flashed.

Guo Zude said, "Come here, detain Duan Shengtong and his son!"

The accompanying officers and soldiers naturally had to obey and immediately escorted the father and son.

The joke that was so arrogant just now was almost scared at this moment. He looked pale and couldn't even speak...

Everything has changed.

Almost no time to respond.

At this moment, there was another person who was the most frightened, and he was Zhang Xiangsong, the head of Yi'an District.

Let’s take a look at the fate of Duan Ziming. I just cursed him and now I have become a prisoner!

It's over!

He knew he could not escape.

"Of course, the sins are not just that!"

Wang Kang glanced at Zhang Xiangsong.

"I personally divided Yi'an District and personally decided on the government orders. Everyone should know what it was like in the past and what it is now."

Wang Kang said calmly: "Where did the money and food issued by the imperial court go?"

"answer!"

Zhang Xiangsong's face turned pale and he couldn't say it at all!

The money and grain were divided into layers and all into the pockets of these officials.

"How long has the new dynasty been established? It's only two years ago. You go out and see how many people are suffering!"

Wang Kang said angrily: "You go to this Yi'an District and have a good walk. Those people are skinny and can only wait for death!"

"Don't you have any compassion?"

"Even if you have a little sympathy, you won't do such a thing. You are simply a vain!"

Wang Kang was extremely angry!

He understood a little why Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials so much and killed people in a big way, one after another!

He also had that kind of thought at this moment.

The country is still in the recovery stage, and every amount of money and every grain of food must be used in a calculating way, hoping to give it to the places and people who need it the most!

But in this way, there are still people who are corrupt!

Digging the corners of the country, eating bloody buns!

It is conceivable how cruel these people are!

The administration is truly clear and clear, and it is impossible to achieve. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Wang Kang also understands this truth, but he has a bottom line in his heart.

People like Zhang Xiangsong have seriously touched the bottom line.

He believes there are more people behind it.

Don't worry, he will pull all these people out.

"Zhou Qing, you arranged for someone to detain Zhang Xiangsong. I will personally investigate and deal with this matter!"

"yes!"

Two big inner guards personally detained Zhang Xiangsong, and he had already accepted his fate.

And this attitude also shocked many people.

Many people in Kyoto will suffer!

"Crack!"

At this moment, a dense sound of footsteps came from the intersection of the street, and a large number of soldiers in military uniforms appeared...
Chapter completed!
