Chapter 1729

There was silence in the field, only the cold voice of Wang Kang echoed.

Without the slightest mercy, Duan's family was directly driven into the abyss. Duan was sentenced to death by his son and his father. Duan Shengtong was sent to prison. His family was directly related to him and all of them were exiled

It's a big punishment.

You know, after the establishment of the new dynasty, the harsh criminal law was abolished, and the three ethnic groups and Five Dynasties were always punished. Instead, they chose exile.

The former state of Chu was the largest country on the mainland, so there was a lot of wasteland. In order to have sufficient labor force, these criminals had a place to go.

Since it is wasteland reclamation, most of them are once barren areas with difficult conditions.

For these nobles, it may be worse than killing them!

There is no doubt that this is a direct qualitative!

After all, Duan Ziming, a fool of his father's, actually collided with the emperor. This one alone was enough for him to die a hundred times.

There are also sufficient reasons to implicate the family. When the new law was implemented and strictly enforced, the nobles who disobeyed the law did not know how much they were punished?

Now, it's just following suit.

Anyway.

Duan family, it's over!

There is no chance to turn over again!

"No, your majesty, although I am a godson, I can't be implicated, let alone my family..."

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

It's too serious.

He has to fight for opportunities.

Wang Kang didn't pay any attention to him at all. Instead, he looked at Guo Zude and said, "Mr. Guo, as a central minister, you are the second grade minister. This matter will be investigated by you. Duan Ziming is so arrogant. There must be a reason. I need more criminal evidence. Do you understand?"

Everyone was stunned again.

Everyone knows that the rise of Duan Shengtong has something to do with Guo Zude. They belong to the same family originally, but now they hand Duan Shengtong over to Guo Zude to investigate.

Is there a problem with Duan Shengtong?

Of course.

If you don't kill him directly, I'm afraid you just want him to bite out more people!

This move is too cruel!

Is Mr. Guo checking or not?

It's not good whether it's fair or it's intentional

Guo Zude also understands this.

This is to roast him on the fire. He wants to refuse, but he looks at his Majesty's cold eyes.

He knew that he could not refuse.

His majesty is scheming, and his imperial power is extremely brilliant.

He's back.

That's compliance.

"Weichen, lead the order."

I heard that.

Duan Shengtong's eyes are full of incredible looks.

If Guo Zude doesn't speak for him, it's not appropriate to protect him. How can he respond directly?

Can we say that it's for the time being, and then we can protect it?

Yes, it must be.

Duan Shengtong knows how big his problem is, and he can't stand the investigation at all. But Mr. Guo is the chief official. If he has many problems, he can let go

That's good!

Other people have the same idea. After all, it's human nature.

But Guo Zude understood that this was a test given to him by his majesty. If he couldn't carry out a strict investigation impartially, he would be finished!

But Can you check it?

He probably knows that Duan Shengtong's arrogance is not only supported by him, but also by someone behind him!

Otherwise, how could he go to Shangshu Province as a servant.

You know, Ouyang Wen is an old man who has been following his majesty.

He is also the head of one of the three major factions in the court.

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

Because they are people of the former dynasty, many of their ideas still retain the legacy of the former dynasty. Naturally, they huddle together to keep warm and form a school.

The new Zhuang faction refers to the newly promoted officials after the establishment of the new dynasty. These people are of humble origin, but they are talented and learned. They used to be depressed and frustrated, but they were put in high position. They have no deep background. The leader of them is Wen Zhang, the official of the current imperial court.

Another faction, also known as the imperial family faction, is not about the imperial relatives, but the subordinates who followed Wang Kang for many years and made great contributions in the process of establishing the new dynasty.

Like Ouyang Wen.

Of course, it's a private address. It can't be put on the surface, but it's real

This is the pattern in the DPRK.

As a conservative, Duan Shengtong went directly to Shangshu Province, which is dominated by the imperial school. The water behind this is very deep

Thoughts flashed.

Guo Zude said, "come on, take Duan Shengtong and his son into custody!"

The accompanying officers and soldiers naturally listened and immediately took the father and son into custody.Duan Ziming, who was so arrogant just now, is almost scared to pee. He looks pale and can't say anything

Everything has changed.

Almost no reaction time.

At the moment, there is another person who is most frightened. He is Zhang Xiangsong, the chief official of Yi'an district.

Take a look at the end of Duan Ziming. He flattered Duan Ziming just now. Now he has become a prisoner!

It's over!

He knew he couldn't escape.

"Of course, there is more to evil than that!"

Wang Kang glanced at Zhang Xiangsong.

"Yi'an district is divided by me personally, and the government decrees are made by me personally. You should know what it looked like at the beginning and what it looks like now."

Wang Kang said calmly, "where are all the money and grain issued by the imperial court?"

"Come back!"

Zhang Xiangsong's face turned white. He couldn't say it at all!

The money and grain were divided up layer by layer and went into the pockets of these officials.

"It's only been two years since the establishment of the new dynasty. Go outside and see how many people are suffering!"

Wang Kang said angrily, "go to Yi'an district and have a good turn. Those people are as skinny as a log. They can only wait to die!"

"Don't you have a little compassion?"

"Even if you have a little sympathy, you will not be able to do such a thing. You are a son in vain!"

Wang Kang's anger reached the extreme!

He understood why Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials so much at the beginning, and killed people one after another!

Now he has that idea.

The country is still in the recovery stage, every sum of money, every grain of food should be calculated and used, hoping to be able to give to the places and people who need it most!

But in this way, some people are corrupt!

Digging the corner of the country, eating blood steamed bread!

You can imagine how cruel these people are!

It's impossible to achieve a real clean government. When the water is clean, there will be no fish. Wang Kang also understands this truth, but he has a bottom line in his mind.

People like Zhang Xiangsong have seriously touched the bottom line.

He believes there are more people behind it.

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

"Zhou Qing, you have arranged for Zhang Xiangsong to be detained. I will investigate and deal with this matter myself!"

"Yes

Two bodyguards of the Imperial Palace detain Zhang Xiangsong in person. He has accepted his orders.

And this attitude, also let a lot of people panic.

A lot of people will suffer in Kyoto!

"Click, click!"

Just then, a dense sound of footsteps came from the street, and a large number of soldiers in military uniform appeared
