"This is a memorial for an old minister to beg for his body. I hope your majesty will approve it."

Liu Ruoyu next to him took a step forward, took the memorial and handed it to Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao just glanced at it and put it aside without looking through it.

"Ai Qing, have you thought clearly?" Zhu Youxiao looked into the other party's eyes and asked slowly. Even if Fang Congzhe himself did not accept this memorial, he would still replace him. His tone made no secret,

It's quite straightforward. The other party also knows this, and he will definitely go down. It's just a matter of a few months earlier and a few months later. After this transition period, the first assistant will probably be replaced.

One emperor and one courtier.

"Thanks to the late emperor for not giving up, I have been in charge of the government alone for seven years. Now that I am old and my energy has declined, I can no longer assist your majesty." Fang Congzhe said in a low tone. He was indeed a little tired from running around here and there these years.

The days of running and fighting fires made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he couldn't hold on any longer.

Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is that he was somewhat involved in the process of the emperor's ascension to the throne. Although he was not implicated because of Concubine Zheng's sad departure, he did not dare to still stand.

The court is in trouble. What if the emperor remembers one day and wants to settle the score?

It is best to retire and return to his hometown while his reputation is still good. Moreover, based on his many years of experience, Fang Congzhe felt that the current emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Judging from his actions as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he

It's so big, I'm afraid the picture is too small.

"Since Aiqing has thought it through clearly, I'm sure." Zhu Youxiao nodded and approved Fang Congzhe's appointment, "But now that the New Year has passed, Aiqing will hold on for a while, and after the new year, he will become an official in Shangbiao.

, now let’s take this one back first.”

Zhu Youxiao picked up the memorial and handed it forward. Liu Ruoyu next to him took it and gave it back to Fang Congzhe.

"Thank you for your permission, Your Majesty." Fang Congzhe bent down to salute, raised his hands, and took the memorial back.

"Well, after you go back, compile a copy of the information on the court officials and give it to me." Zhu Youxiao looked at the other party with a somewhat unpredictable look in his eyes and said, "After Zhengdan, there will be big changes in the court." The word "big" is in the word "big".

, he also deliberately emphasized his tone.

After the New Year, Zhu Youxiao planned to start his own reforms, and the first step was to establish a government agency similar to the State Council. He now deliberately said this to Fang Congzhe, just to let the news out and let all officials be mentally prepared.

.

"Big changes." Fang Congzhe muttered. From the emperor's heavy tone, he felt an inexplicable fear. The changes in officials after the new year must be very big, so big that it is scary.

The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building! After leaving Qianqing Palace and looking at the gloomy sky, Fang Congzhe's heart is heavy with internal and external troubles. It is indeed a troubled autumn.

Fortunately, he will retire next year, and it has nothing to do with me. Thinking of this, his tired face showed a slight smile.

"Go and call Luo Sigong." After watching Fang Congzhe go out, Zhu Youxiao sat quietly for a while and then ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Ruoyu responded, followed the order and left.

Soon, Luo Sigong, with bloodshot eyes and an air of exhaustion all over his body, hurried over. There was also a stale smell on his body, which made Zhu Youxiao feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I received the order just after I came out of the prison and rushed here." Luo Sigong saw this and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

"It doesn't matter, I love you and you are loyal to the king." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand lightly to show that he didn't care.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After kowtowing again, Luo Sigong stood up and waited respectfully with his waist slightly bent.

"From today on, don't arrest anyone anymore." Zhu Youxiao said softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Sigong accepted the order, paused, and asked, "Your Majesty, please tell me how to understand the case and how to deal with the personnel." He was not willing to handle such a big case alone.

"There are three types of criminals. The masterminds and their accomplices, such as the people of Donglin, the eunuchs in the palace, the generals of the imperial army, and the nobles who sit back and do nothing, will all be executed." Zhu Youxiao said while thinking, "The others

Second, the soldiers and their family members who were kidnapped, the family members of the principal offender and his accomplices, and some who were not directly involved in the crime will be registered and sent to Liaodong to serve as military garrison and guard the border."

"As for those companies..." Zhu Youxiao paused, thought for a moment, and finally sighed, and finally decided to make up his mind, "Let's also send them to Liaodong to guard the border together."

"Your Majesty!!!" After hearing the disposal plan, Luo Sigong suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.

"What? Is it too heavy?" Zhu Youxiao asked doubtfully. The other person's expression made him wonder if he had dealt with it too hard.

"No, no." Luo Sigong lowered his head, thinking in his heart, this is too heavy, it is simply too light. It is impossible for Luo Sigong to remember all the 70,000 or 80,000 people involved in the case, but for those rebellious core

He knew all the characters well, and according to the emperor's method of treatment, only three to four hundred people would be beheaded in the end.

This...isn't this a conspiracy!

Think about the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Hongwu was not allowed to kill tens of thousands of people in any case, and he also killed everyone in the family. Unlike the emperor, who only killed the chief criminal, and the rest of his family members were punished with hard labor.

"Your Majesty..." Luo Sigong asked Ai Ai, "Isn't this too light? It doesn't matter who was implicated, but it is against the law to only punish the culprit and send the family members to Liaodong!"

"Your Majesty, the British Duke...but..." He raised his head and said hesitantly.

"This..." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but hesitate. He understood the implication of Luo Sigong's words. If he dealt with it in this way, wouldn't Zhang Weixian, who set his family on fire, become a joke? The act of sacrificing the whole family and hugging his grandson Zhang Shize would also become a joke.

made a joke.

It is inconsistent with reason and inconsistent with emotion!

"It doesn't matter, the British Lord doesn't care about this." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, but did not change his mind. He still insisted on his disposal plan. Except for the extremely evil people, the people of China would kill as little as possible.

Zhu Youxiao is still very clear about Zhang Weixian's calculations. When he is involved in the rebellion case, the hereditary and irreplaceable British line is over. Even if there is blood left in the end, it will eventually be destroyed. It is better to end it with a tragic death.

He expressed repentance and hugged his grandson Zhang Shize who was following the emperor. This was still a chance for recovery.

"Your Majesty's candle shines thousands of miles away, and the humble ministers are inferior to you." Luo Sigong complimented in confusion. He didn't think of Zhang Shize for a while, so he couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Just do it this way. If you are still unsure, come here and ask for instructions. Go down." Zhu Youxiao finally confirmed.

"Yes, I will retire." Luo Sigong accepted the order and left.
