"According to my research, Master Mi has been involved in the sale of military supplies since the third year of martial arts, and there are many people involved. Especially in the past few years, more and more goods have been transported, and the number has also increased. , the humble minister is panicked, and some people from Jinyiwei are also involved, please severely punish your majesty."

Cao Anmin had seen the name of Jin Yiwei written on the official document a long time ago.

Jinyiwei has always been his sole authority, from the very beginning to the present, but he did not expect that even this important department has been captured and infiltrated by money.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame them, you can only blame them for forgetting the regulations and the king's law. Now that everything has been found out, it can be passed on to the Six Departments, and a clear document will be issued to inform the world. I want everyone in the world to know the truth."

Zhan Zhao took the order to retreat, Cao Anmin sighed secretly, looked at Zheng He next to him and said, "Yanmo, there are traitors around me, I want to punish myself and punish myself."

Chapter 979 The End of the Mi Clan

"My criminal edict, I often hear that the sages ruled the country with the people as the foundation; I lead the world by myself, and I often follow the sages as an example. I always think about it, lest I do things wrong. The Mi family is a hero who founded the country. Sincerely, using power for personal gain, cooperating with the enemy and traitorous country, colluding with foreign countries, harming the people, leaking the situation, killing all those who know the truth, and deceiving the saints. Such a traitor is in the court. It is my fault. This has happened, and only the strong will cut their wrists and will not tolerate it. , I only hope that the four realms will monitor and learn from others, and that the words of the common people can reach the heavenly court, so that the ministers of the state of Zierqi, seeing this, be careful in words and deeds, understand the truth, and plan practical things."

In the main hall, the edict of guilt echoed continuously.

All the important ministers below were full of shame.

Among the emperors of all dynasties, only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict of sin after he regretted killing the prince by mistake.

Now, regarding the matter of the Mi Clan, Cao Anmin actually issued an edict to himself, which shows the hatred in his heart for this matter.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified."

The important officials all knelt down on the ground, sweating profusely.

Cao Anmin looked around at the crowd and said softly: "I stayed up all night last night. I recalled the past, raised troops, and went through hundreds of battles, big and small. Only then did I have the mighty Qi today. Only a few years after the peaceful and prosperous age, moths have already tried to sever the foundation of the dynasty. How can I tolerate it."

Bao Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, stood up at this time, holding the investigation documents in his hand, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have investigated the whole matter according to His Majesty's order, and now we have preliminary results, and I will present them to Your Majesty."

Cao Anmin waved his hands and said, "You don't need to show me, just read it to everyone."

Bao Zheng opened the document and said: "Since the third year of martial arts, there have been 37 people including Mi Zhu, Minister of the Household Department, Shen Yang, Captain of Changshui, Niu Daqiang, Qianhu of Jinyiwei, Zhu Lan, Captain of Chen Liu, Xu Kai, Captain of Xuchang, and Chen Xing, Captain of Tongguan. , from Xuzhou, Hebei and other places to buy food, military supplies and other materials at low prices and transport them to the territory of Han, and sell them at high prices to obtain a lot of money. According to the investigation of the minister, the caravans go back and forth at least once a month, and the goods transported each time are also rising Even when our army and the Han army fought against Puban, they were still secretly transporting supplies to the front line, and the specific amount has been reported to the household department."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.

Mi Zhu is a high-ranking official of the Qi State, who still holds all the power in the world. Who would believe that such a person would actually be greedy for ink and smuggle for money.

"Your Majesty, I am in charge of the Bureau of Commerce and Trade. I cannot supervise the business people in the world to violate the law and discipline. I have neglected my duty. Please punish me by Your Majesty." Zhen Kuan prostrated himself on the ground with a look of shame on his face.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Mi Zhu, as a hero in the founding of the country, does not want to be loyal to the country, but only wants to use power for personal gain. Such a treacherous person should be sentenced to death."

"Your Majesty, although Mi Zhu made a big mistake, he has made contributions to the country after all. I hope that His Majesty will see his past achievements and save him from death. He will confiscate the treasury for the common people, so as to reassure the hearts of the subjects and officials in the world."

"Bastard, in order to attack the Han Kingdom, our Daqi lost countless soldiers. If we don't deal with such treacherous officials, if those soldiers who died in battle know, how can they rest in peace. I also hope that your majesty will kill all these treacherous officials who colluded with the empire. Peace of mind."

The generals and civil servants insisted on their own words, and the hall was bustling with people and arguing endlessly.

Cao Anmin looked at the noisy ministers in front of him, and sneered in his heart.

Everyone understands that Mi Zhu's crime is very serious, but those who have conflicts of interest with him, or who have favored him by Mi Zhu, try their best to speak good words for Mi Zhu.

The things that are black and white are becoming more and more muddy in the mouths of many courtiers.

After a while, Yao Guangxiao coughed, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing right now is to detain all the people, in case someone communicates and the criminals take the opportunity to escape."

"Senior!" Jia Xu also agreed.

The other three members of the cabinet also took the opportunity to agree.

The five cabinet ministers all voted. On the surface, it was a muddle, and the matter was temporarily perfunctory, but in fact it was pushing the Mi family into a deeper abyss.

The corners of Cao Anmin's mouth turned up slightly, and he nodded to Zheng He beside him.

Zheng He took out the imperial edict that he had prepared a long time ago, opened it and read it aloud: "At the beginning of the great Han Dynasty, a thousand wastes were waiting to be revived. Although Han Xin, Yingbu, and Peng Yue made contributions to the country, they were proud of their credit and wanted to overthrow the Great Han. Therefore, Gaozu was helpless. , Only three people can be eliminated, and this is how the great man has been prosperous for hundreds of years; now that I am in Daqi, your majesty is far superior to the ancestors. , is more terrifying than a person without talent and virtue. For the sake of the dynasty for a hundred years, the only way is to gouge out the flesh and remove the poison to keep the foundation stable. Hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial. If the evidence is convincing, you will be executed immediately."

With the edict, everyone took a reassurance.

With Gao Zu as a shield, even if those Confucian scholars wanted to refute, they had nowhere to fight.After all, it is because the Dahan cut off these kings with different surnames that the Dahan has been stable for hundreds of years.

Now, Da Qi wants to emulate Da Han, so there is absolutely no reason why he should act like this.

After the discussion was over, the Jinyiwei brigade quickly captured the ink-corrupting criminals in the city, and at the same time quickly sent letters to various places, and worked together in several places.

Although Mi Zhu had already prepared in advance, and even used the common people and officials as his shield, after all, he did not expect that Cao Anmin would really make a murderous attempt.

It is impossible for a dynasty to be stable without killing people.

Mi Zhu was directly arrested in the mansion, and all the people in the mansion were also arrested and imprisoned.Zhu Lan, Shen Yang, Chen Xing and others were also captured by Jin Yiwei and detained in various places.

When the news came out, the whole Xuzhou was completely boiled.

Before, countless people thought that Mi Zhu's incident was an excuse for Cao Anmin to kill heroes.Now that the official document from the government came out, many of them knew that they were all being used as gunmen, and the real traitor was Mi Zhu whom they wanted to protect with all their strength.

Inside Zixia Palace, it was extremely quiet.

Mi Zhu was deposed, the foundation of the Mi clan was uprooted, and all the heritage accumulated over the past few decades fell apart.

Now, although there is still her in the palace, there is also her own son.

But after this incident, their Mi clan has already been stamped with corruption.Even if someone wants to get closer to him in the future, I am afraid they will not dare to take any action.

What's more troublesome, his son Cao Feng will also be dragged down by this, and there is absolutely no possibility of turning over in this life.

"Concubine Mother, why hasn't uncle come to see me for a long time? I'm tired of the thing he gave me last time. Let him bring some more interesting things, otherwise it will be too boring." Cao Feng held the birdcage in one hand, Holding a cricket bottle in one hand, it was a joy to play.

Mi Huan's eyes were red, her heart was full of anger and she had nowhere to vent her anger. Seeing him coming, she immediately became angry.He picked up the ruler on the table and beat it directly, and shouted as he beat, "You bastard, what time is it, you still want to play, why am I so miserable, and why did I give birth to such a useless son like you."

The unexpected beating made Cao Feng a little confused, but he was not stupid. With oil on his feet, he ran while holding the birdcage and shouted: "You are not my mother. You beat me and scolded me. I want my mother to be my mother. I do not want you."

When Mi Huan heard this, she felt extremely sad.Looking back on my life, I calculated and calculated, what did I get?

Chapter 980 Sending Troops to Southeast Asia

The Mi family case shocked the whole world.The emperor's uncle actually colluded with the enemy country and sold military supplies. When the news spread, the officials and people all over the world applauded and praised Cao Anmin's righteous act of exterminating his relatives.

Mi Fang, Mi Zhu's younger brother, fled thousands of miles into the territory of the Han Dynasty and asked Liu Yu, the regent of the Han Dynasty, for help.

Since the recovery of Chang'an and the revival of the Han Dynasty, Yong Gong Guan Yu and Yan Gong Zhang Fei died of illness, and the Han State lost its pillars, and the country was unstable.

In order to stabilize the situation, Liu Yu passed the position of Duke Yong to Guan Ling, the son of Guan Yu, and the position of Duke Yan to Zhang Bao, the son of Zhang Fei.Guan Ling is a military commander and doesn't know much about politics, while Zhang Baona is even younger and has no foundation.From then on, only Liu Yu's family dominated the court.

When Mi Fang spread the news to Chang'an, Liu Yu was helpless.

After many wars, the vitality of Guanzhong was severely damaged, and it was impossible to recover in a short time.In addition, although Ma Chao accepted the canonization, he was divided into one side, and the Northwest was called Gu.Under internal and external troubles, although Liu Yu felt a pity to cut off the lifeline connecting the pass, but in order to preserve the overall situation, he could only be ruthless, behead Mi Fang, and send an envoy to send the head to Pengcheng.

Cao Anmin was extremely pleased to have Mi Fang's head.

In addition, his goal is not the northwest right now, so he also intends to temporarily stop the two families.Therefore, they also sent envoys to Chang'an, and the two families will be friends forever, and they are willing to marry Liu Han.
