Chapter 2817 2819 [Eradicate the Prime Minister]

However, Xiang Nan did not let Gao Gaoming resign and return to his hometown. Instead, he ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest him and imprison him, and handed him over to Chai Mu for personal interrogation. He was also eliminated along with the high ministers and his party.

When Gao Ming saw Chai Mu in prison, he was surprised and asked, "So it's you, and you're not dead?"

Chai Mu nodded, "You haven't died yet, how could I be willing to die?"

Gao Ming let out a long sigh and said, "No wonder over the years, I always feel that the prince has changed. It turns out that you are the one behind the plan."

"You're wrong." Chai Mu waved his hand, "I didn't do much to help the prince. He came up with all those ideas on his own."

The so-called "New Deal for the Salt Industry", "New Deal for the Imperial Examination", "Sharing a small family into an acre", "Officials and gentry receiving food from one body, and all receiving food from one body", "Returning envy to the public", "Raising honest silver", "Secret discount system", etc. are all

It was Xiang Nan's own idea.

He just helped Xiang Nan form the Jin Yiwei and helped him get some information.

"Is it all his own idea?" Gao Ming was even more shocked when he heard this.

The reforms and measures proposed by Xiang Nan are difficult for even a political animal like him, who has been in high positions for decades, to come up with.

He originally thought that Xiang Nan had received advice from an expert, but he didn't expect that it was Xiang Nan who came up with it himself. It was really beyond his expectation.

"Your Majesty is the most suitable person to be emperor that I have ever seen." Chai Mudu said with emotion.

The measures proposed by Xiang Nan are all good things that benefit the country and the people, and even he can't ask for more.

Gao Ming nodded.

He originally thought that Li Hao was smart enough, but he didn't expect that Xiang Nan was smarter than him.

"Okay, we don't need to reminisce about the past. Let's tell you all the crimes you committed." Chai Mu said to Gao Ming, "I have thought of this step, and you don't need to hide anything anymore.

."

Gao Ming sighed helplessly, and then said, "Can you tell your Majesty that I am the culprit of the Gao family, and can you spare the lives of others?"

"When you slaughtered the Gu and Chen families, did you want to spare anyone's life?" Chai Mu said coldly.

When Gao Gao Ming heard this, he couldn't help sighing, it was all retribution!

…

When Gao Ruyi learned that her father and brother had been arrested, she couldn't help but panic. She immediately went to Xiang Nan to plead for mercy, hoping to spare the lives of the Gao family.

Xiang Nan had long known that she was asking for mercy, but he stayed behind closed doors, not wanting to reward her with the favor.

Not to mention the bloody feud between the Gao Ming and Gu Chen families, just as he served as prime minister in these years, he supported and promoted a large number of corrupt officials, including his party members in the six ministries.

They formed cliques, engaged in corruption for personal gain, harmed loyal and good people, preyed on the common people, guarded and robbed themselves, and harmed the public and enriched themselves. It can be said that the crimes of the Gao family are countless.

If Xiang Nan didn't kill him, it wouldn't be enough to deter those corrupt officials and make them take chances and become even more unscrupulous in the future.

Therefore, he must use the heads of the Gao family to let everyone know his determination to fight corruption. From now on, he will never dare to harm the people again, in the village of fish and meat.

Gao Ruyi was helpless and went to see Zhang Meiniang again, hoping that her cousin could stand up and say something.

Zhang Meiniang had no choice but to go see Xiang Nan.

"Yin'er, haven't you rested yet?" Seeing Xiang Nan still reviewing the memorial, Zhang Meiniang said to him with a smile, "Don't be too tired."

"It's okay, Queen Mother, it's all my responsibility." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

In order to keep the secrets secret, only he can read them. There are hundreds of secrets a day, with hundreds of thousands of words in them. It is tiring to read so many casual books, not to mention thinking and approval, which is not something ordinary people can endure.

came down.

For this reason, the secret book system started in Kangxi, reached its peak during the Yongzheng period, and was abolished in the middle of the Qianlong reign. Because Qianlong was not as diligent as his father, he could not stand the secret book of hundreds of thousands of words a day, so he abandoned it.

.

"I asked the imperial kitchen to make some snacks for you." Zhang Meiniang smiled and said, "Rong Shuang, bring it up."

Rong Shuang then brought the pastries up.

Xiang Nan took a look and saw that it was walnut cake.

He immediately understood Zhang Meiniang's intention.

…

"I remember that you loved eating walnut cakes the most since you were a child..." Zhang Meiniang said with a smile.

"Mother, I'm actually just pretending." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I haven't liked eating walnuts since I was a child. But Gao Xiang likes to eat them, so I pretend to like them too."

Zhang Meiniang couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't expect Xiang Nan to be so scheming at such a young age.

"Mother, I also know what you want to say." Xiang Nan explained, "Yes, the Prime Minister is indeed kind to me. I can become the prince thanks to his support.

But mother, Prime Minister Gao has also done a lot of bad things over the years. He has organized gangs, controlled government affairs, fostered banditry, and harmed the public and private interests...

If I open up the net again, it will be difficult to deal with other officials in the future. So I can only kill him and use his head as a warning to all officials. Let them know, 'Don't stretch out your hands, otherwise you will be arrested.'"

"But he is your uncle and father-in-law after all. If you kill them, how will you face Ruyi?" Zhang Meiniang advised again.

"Public to public, private to private, public to private. If she can't figure it out, then that's it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, he had no interest in Gao Ruyi in the first place.

It was only because of Li Zu's proposal that he accepted her. It was also to put Gao Ming's heart at ease, so he had been treating Gao Ruyi favorably over the years.

But now if Gao Ruyi insists on standing with the Gao family, he won't be polite. Even if he doesn't kill her, he won't favor her anymore.

Seeing Xiang Nan say this, Zhang Meiniang couldn't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, my son, who had always been gentle and filial, would become so cold-blooded and heartless after ascending to the throne. Even the concubine whom I had been with for many years, I just wanted to leave her.

"Yin'er, even if Prime Minister Gao, Gao Kun, and Gao Zhen died innocently, the rest of the Gao family are also innocent. Can you please spare them a way to live?" Zhang Meiniang persuaded again.

Xiang Nan sighed, "Mother, I will consider it."

Zhang Meiniang nodded when she saw that he was showing signs of relenting.

…

Xiang Nan then went to see Chai Mu.

"Mr. Chai, how is the progress of Prime Minister Gao's case?" he asked.

"Gao Ming refused to say anything." Chai Mu sighed.

Gao Gaoming knew that he was going to die, and that his family would also die, so he didn't want to say anything and just wanted to die.

"Mr. Chai, I know that you have a blood feud with Gao Ming. Gao Ming also owes the Gu and Chen family hundreds of lives. Even if the entire Gao family is executed, it won't be enough." Xiang Nan said, "But, I still want to ask you for a favor.

Favor,”

"Your Majesty, you must not say that." Upon hearing this, Chai Mu quickly bowed.

Xiang Nan is now the emperor of the Feng Dynasty, and he is the majesty he wants to serve. He cannot bear the word "beg".

"The high minister is a party, higher than Ming. Gao Kun is the chief culprit, Gao Zhen is just a playboy, and although the female relatives of the Gao family are guilty, they are not dead." Xiang Nan then asked, "Can you spare their lives and save them?"

Are they sent to the frontier?"

Chai Mu hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
