Chapter 683: The Power of Fear of the Hundred Officials of the Public Trial Conference
Han Yu was puzzled by what was going on with the two people around him. The evidence of this crime was so thick. They jumped up impatiently after just a few glances. Why?
It was not in line with common sense at all, but when he looked at the eyes of the two of them carefully, Han Yu understood that everything was already under the control of His Majesty.
Your Majesty is so awesome.
Han Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Why did he hand over the list of gifts from Shaanxi to Zhu Youxiao? He was so righteous and as if the honest official was more righteous than Hai Rui.
Han Du thought he was still a clean official and did not value things like silver.
But he is not that pedantic. Even if the officials in Shaanxi give him money, as usual, he will at most return it if he doesn't charge it.
But this time he not only collected it, but also registered and booked the property to bring all the property to the capital. At that time, even his family members understood it.
He handed those things openly to the emperor in front of the civil and military officials of the court, in fact, it was to attack Zhu Youxiao.
Yes, his real purpose is to attack Zhu Youxiao.
Because Han Du felt that the emperor should not have such great power, the emperor should leave everything to the ministers, especially virtuous and loyal ministers like himself.
Only in this way can we avoid cholera and cholera government affairs. Look at how many evil things Wei Zhongxian has done, how many loyal and good ministers have harmed, and how many people have harmed.
Countless people were suffering so much. How much manpower and material resources were spent on building a temple for Wei Zhongxian and his eunuch? How much exploitation was increased?
If you want the country and country to prosper in the Ming Dynasty, you can only let Your Majesty be a mascot honestly.
Anyway, Han Yu thought so. Since he was framed by the eunuch party, he has become a bit extreme and he must limit the imperial power!
So he planned to use this gift list as an introduction.
How to do it? That is to use the voluntary bribery of officials across the province to severely attack the emperor's prestige.
Think about it, hundreds of thousands of silver items were sent to the capital and handed the gift list to Your Majesty in front of the civil and military officials of the court. So will Your Majesty investigate or not?
If you check this, you will find a province. There are so many officials in the province who count on one, and no one on this gift list can escape.
So does Your Majesty dare to arrest him? Do he dare to arrest all the officials from a province in one breath?
Han Du felt that His Majesty did not dare. Once he did this, there would be turmoil in Shanxi, Shaanxi immediately, and the entire Shanxi, Shaanxi would fall into chaos, and rebellion would be inevitable.
Since ancient times, the thing that the Ming Dynasty feared the most is the rebellion of the people, because the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a successful rebellion by ordinary people. The lessons of the past are still here. The ancestors' admonitions of the royal family have been repeatedly emphasizing.
Therefore, Han Du predicted that Zhu Youxiao would never touch Shanxi, Shaanxi, so he could only turn big things into small things, and this gift list incident has been sank to the sea from now on.
But this is exactly what Han Yu wanted. His Majesty did not dare to take action, which would greatly damage the emperor's prestige. The evidence of such a big thing was sent to his hands, and His Majesty did not dare to investigate. Then wouldn't the royal prestige plummet?
Oh! As long as we ministers can unite, even if the emperor meets us, we will be timid. In this way, can the emperor still have the same power as before? The officials in the world will be more and more optimistic about the emperor, and the world will come to the era of literati and officials' governance.
