Chapter 421;
Disposal
In the afternoon of that day, Gu Jian left Chengyuan Villa with more than a hundred people and went to the place where the Han clan is located in Hexi.
The Han family's support in the capital was inevitable, and she needed to continue targeting the Han family.
Just like the Gao family did back then, they ruined their reputation in Hexi step by step, and then detonated it when it reached the critical point.
Even if Emperor Hongwen cannot make up his mind by then, the Han family will suffer heavy losses.
Then just clean it up.
Today is the first major court meeting since the New Year.
Almost all officials qualified to go to court arrived.
However, there is a strange phenomenon. These officials are divided into two waves.
What about the two waves? It’s self-evident.
One wave is officials from the Han faction, and the other wave is other officials.
In the past few days, the affairs of officials of the Han family have become more and more intense in the capital. I even heard that many officials of the Han family were surrounded by people when they went out.
Vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, etc., but I always greeted them.
I even heard that some officials were beaten with mud lumps and small stones by many people, and their heads were badly bruised.
The situation is very miserable.
In this situation, although not much news has come out from Emperor Hongwen, as a veteran who has been in the imperial court for many years.
It can still be clearly felt that these officials of the Han family are afraid of bad luck.
After all, the people are so angry now that both Emperor Hongwen and the court must come up with a regulation. Otherwise, how can the people's hearts be stable?
So at this moment, if there is still a blind past approaching the Han family, who knows if they will be misunderstood?
Soon, Wang De's voice announced the morning court, and a group of officials, big and small, entered the hall one after another.
Not long after he stood still, Emperor Hongwen appeared.
As soon as the voice came down that something was going on here, an official stood up from the Yushitai.
The matter of impeachment has been a hot topic in the capital these days.
"I have also heard about this matter."
"It's really shocking. I never imagined that there would be so many abominable bastards under this imperial city."
The more Emperor Hongwen talked, the more the atmosphere became more intense.
Officials from the Han faction in the West couldn't sit still.
They all stood up to express their grievances and gave many excuses.
However, no matter what they said, Emperor Hongwen did not believe a word they said.
When they had finished crying and explaining, they saw him wave his hand.
Wang De took a step forward and took out a memorial that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve.
Everyone below was silent.
"After I heard about it again, I specially asked someone to investigate it."
"Wang De, please read it to everyone."
Wang De responded and unfolded the memorial.
The records that Emperor Hongwen had people investigate were more detailed than those circulated throughout the capital, and even some of the parties and participants who could still be found had been taken back by people from the Jingzhao Mansion.
As Wang De read out the things one by one, the hearts of the officials below, except Wen Songtao and Dong Xiang who had already known Emperor Hongwen's determination, were all beating wildly.
The military generals were okay, after all, they had never been too fond of these civil servants, and their surprise was just because Emperor Hongwen's move was a bit big this time, which shocked them a little.
They actually took pleasure in the misfortune of these civil servants.
And what about the civil servants? Whether they were officials from poor families or officials from aristocratic families, they were all very shocked, especially those from aristocratic families, their faces turned a little pale.
Emperor Hongwen's move this time undoubtedly sent a signal to them.
In the past, Emperor Hongwen was very dissatisfied with the family, but he only kept it in his heart. This time, he did it openly.
There were more than thirty officials involved this time, and now it was announced publicly in the Jinluan Palace that the fate of these people was doomed.
Sure enough, after Wang Der read, Emperor Hongwen didn't even give the officials of the Han faction a chance to speak, and directly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair angrily.
"Audacious and appalling."
"If you do this under my nose, you are slapping me in the face again."
"How does this make the people of the world view me?"
"Someone, please take off the official uniforms of these bastards and send them to Dali Temple."
As soon as his voice fell, some of the officials of the Han faction below fell to the ground completely exhausted, their faces full of death and despair.
However, some people still take chances and cry out that they are wronged.
However, Emperor Hongwen was also prepared. The moment his order was issued, a large number of forbidden troops poured in from outside.
He stepped forward directly and escorted more than thirty officials from the Han clan out of the Jinluan Palace.
This scene made the hearts of many officials from aristocratic families beat wildly, and many people's legs were trembling.
If His Majesty, who is as powerful as the Han family, captured it so directly, will they be the next one?
The news that all the officials of the Han faction had been captured quickly spread throughout the capital, and the people who heard the news all clapped their hands and applauded.
Similarly, the heads of the major aristocratic families were also frightened after hearing the news.
Especially the newly promoted person in charge of the Han family was so frightened that he fainted.
Among the aristocratic families, the Dong family is the most calm.
Dong Zixiu got the news about Prime Minister Dong early and also repaired the book and returned to the clan.
"Father, your Majesty is not really planning to kill the Han family this time, is he?"
Dong Shuqing looked extremely surprised.
His wife was a direct descendant of the Han family. If Emperor Hongwen really took action against the Han family, it would probably be difficult for their family.
If we draw a clear line, it will definitely become a joke. Besides, although Mr. Han is not a very good character, the relationship between the couple is still very deep. It is definitely not possible to abandon his wife.
"There is no need to panic. If His Majesty wants to take action, there won't be just this little movement."
"Are you okay if you haven't met the person in charge of the Han family in the capital?"
Hearing this, Dong Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, His Majesty's actions this time can be regarded as a signal. What do you think about your wife?"
Dong Zixiu could not be said to be dissatisfied with Han's daughter-in-law, but he could not be said to be very satisfied either. After all, this was a family marriage.
"Although Han's character is a bit inappropriate, she has done nothing wrong in caring for her husband, raising her children, and being filial to her parents-in-law since she married into my family."
"Although she is a direct descendant of the Han family, she is now the wife of my Dong family."
Listening to his son's words, Dong Zixiu nodded.
"In that case, I respect your decision as a father, but the situation in the Han family is not very good now."
"It is inevitable that there will be big disturbances in the future. She is a soft-hearted person. It will not be a good thing for her to continue to stay in the capital."
"Well, I understand. I will explain it to her later. I will go back to Jinzhong with her tomorrow."
Dong Shuqing naturally understands his wife.
"However, I really didn't expect that Princess Wanfu has such a high status in His Majesty's heart."
