Chapter 1107 Arrest at the meeting

Huang Zongxi was slightly stunned, not understanding what Chen Mingyu meant, or he knew it in his heart, but he didn't care.

At this time, Zhao Ming had already taken a car and entered the Guoshe Pavilion. Soon after, the door was opened and the guards inside began to call everyone in.

This huge conference room was opened last year, and its layout is very different from that of traditional Chinese halls.

The conference room faces north and south, and north, with a high platform with a long table and seats on it. There are cabinet members and reports. Below are rows of seats facing the platform, which can accommodate five or six hundred people and hold meetings at the same time.

Since last year, after climbing to the high platform and giving reports to hundreds of officials, Huang Zongxi has fallen in love with it, giving officials the feeling of giving reports, giving him a sense of power and a high position.

The hundreds of officials who listened to the report in the audience were also proud of being able to participate in the conference, and hope that one day they would wait to sit on the platform to summarize the affairs of the court for the year to the officials and enjoy the future.

At this time, behind the long table on the high platform, eight seats were placed, with signs written in front of the seats, and their names were written on them.

Zhao Ming's sign is placed in the middle, with Chen Mingyu and Du Yinxi on both sides. Although Huang Zongxi has not been in the cabinet for a long time and has a relatively short qualification, the sign is close to Chen Mingyu and is still in front of Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang, next to Chen Mingyu.

At this time, many officials had already taken their seats under the high platform, and the cabinet members also sat down. Huang Zongxi sat next to Chen Mingyu, his eyes jumped over Chen Mingyu, and looked at Du Yinxi.

Huang Zongxi was not satisfied with his current position. His next goal was to remove Du Yinxi from the stage, drive him out of the cabinet, take the position of auxiliary last time, and then drive Chen Mingyu, who was carrying him into the cabinet, and become the chief assistant of the New Ming Dynasty.

At this time, in the conference room, officials whispered and talked about the content of today's report. At this time, a guard shouted: "His Royal Highness the Regent is here!"

The huge conference room immediately became quiet. Hundreds of officials on and below the high platform stood up in unison, staring at Zhao Ming, wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown, walked into the venue.

After Zhao Ming returned to the court, his prestige further increased and his authority was even greater than that of the emperor, but he was not the emperor.

Although the situation is very good at the moment, all officials will still think about what the Regent will do next.

If we follow the actions of our predecessors in history, we should add nine tinsels and complete the process and ascend to the throne as emperor.

However, Zhao Ming did not show the intention of replacing the Ming Dynasty, which made all civil and military officials very puzzled and were all confused about the future situation.

At this time, Zhao Ming walked into the middle and sat down, then smiled and waved his hand to ask everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "I am the first time today, I am here to attend the conference. Since everyone is starting, then start the process!"

At the meeting, Huang Zongxi stood up with a red face and said to everyone: "Today's conference, I will announce the progress of the conference, and then ask the Regent to make an opening speech, each reporting on the work for the cabinet ministers, and finally the Regent summarizes it!"

At that moment, Huang Zongxi sat down, cleared his throat, and began to read it. At this moment, Ma Jin, commander of the Jinyiwei, and Zuodu Censor of the Inspectorate, suddenly came in with a group of people and shackles.

In the conference hall, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and officials began to whisper, and there was an uproar.

The Jinyiwei and the Inspectorate were both supervisory agencies of the Ming Dynasty. Now they appeared together and were still in shackles, which was obvious that they wanted to arrest people.

The arrest of people at the KMT party meeting and interferes with the progress of the conference also shows that they have solid evidence and have approved it by cabinet officials and even the Regent.

As an official of the Ming Empire, being able to participate in the conference was a postgraduate entrance examination that had been under political struggles for a long time. He had a very sensitive sense of politics and immediately realized that things were unusual.

Huang Zongxi was reading and found this phenomenon. He couldn't help but stop reading, frowned, and shouted loudly: "Nonsense, where is this place, when is it now, Yandu Censor, what are you doing?"

On the high platform, Du Yinxi closed his eyes and rested. Chen Ming was sweating on his forehead. Unexpectedly, the Regent was so quick that he actually arrested people directly at the conference.

At this time, Zhao Ming said coldly: "I approved their actions."

Huang Zongxi was shocked and could only sit down. The officials in the venue understood that it was the Regent's instructions and suddenly became quiet. Each of them did not speak out at all.

Zhao Ming then said to Yan Qiheng: "Si Jian Yan, you can do your business!"

Yan Qiheng nodded, and the censors of the Inspectorate behind him led the Jinyiwei and the arrest documents printed by the Inspectorate, walked among the many officials and presented the documents to several officials sitting there.

"Qian Siye, the doctor of the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Rites, you are suspected of accepting bribes and the evidence is conclusive. You are now arrested and imprisoned for review!" The censor handed the document in front of the officials and announced coldly.

The Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward, put on the shackles and took the seats.

"Huang Fu, the clerk of Like, you are suspected of picking up bribes and interfering with the administration of the court. Now you are arrested and investigated in prison!"

...

One after another, officials were taken out of the seat, mostly Huang Zongxi's gangsters, which made him look ashen and extremely angry.

"Regent, the matter is not clear yet. I object to bringing shackles to them and taking them away from here!" Huang Zongxi said anxiously to Zhao Ming.

From the scene of the Kuomintang Party Congress, he was taken away by the inspector with shackles. In less than a day, the news would spread throughout Nanjing, and the political life of the people who were taken away was basically over.

Many of these people are only in their forties or fifties, and can work for at least a few decades, enough to climb to higher positions, but now the future is completely ruined. It is really unfair to an official who serves the court for decades and dedicates everything to the court.

Huang Zongxi was indignant, but Yan Qiheng and Ma Jin walked up to him and took out the arrest document and said: "Catal Grand Secretary Huang Zongxi is suspected of collusion between officials and businessmen, and has traded all the money. He privately accepted shares of Huijin, Dongchang, Changsheng and other Jiajia Business companies. The amount involved is huge. You are now in your opinion to be reviewed!"

Huang Zongxi's face was ashamed, but he didn't expect that even he was on the list of arrests and he stood there in an instant.

Seeing Huang Zongxi’s face pale, Ma Jin immediately said, “Gei Huang, let’s go by yourself! I won’t put shackles on you anymore!”

It is normal for officials to be corrupt, especially in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Zongxi did not expect that Zhao Ming would break this unspoken rule. It is indeed the truth that he accepted bribes. Moreover, the other party's name of the bribery business name means that they have evidence.

Huang Zongxi could not make a quibble, so he could only walk off the platform and was taken away by the Jinyiwei. Before leaving the door, he was tripped by the threshold and almost fell to the ground.

The entire venue was silent, and no one expected that such a change would occur, and he didn't know what to react for a while.
Chapter completed!
