Chapter 323 The Downfall of the Donglin Party(2/2)

But soon, Chongzhen said with a straight face: "Mr. Shige, then the next step is the dialogue between the Ming Emperor and the chief minister of the cabinet."

Shi Kefa said: "I respectfully listen to the Holy Instructions."

"Let's talk about the Donglin Party first." Chongzhen said solemnly, "Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, Zhang Youyu, Zuo Guangxian, Yuan Pengnian, Liu Zhengzong, Li Jinglian, Lu Lang, Huang Erding, Luo Wanxiang and more than twenty others

Any official, big or small, who is related to the regicide case or the frame-up case must formally plead guilty in the form of a memorial."

"As long as they are willing to write a letter and plead guilty, I will not offend my family."

"Even if it involves regicide and rebellion, we can only pursue the person himself, and at most the family property will be confiscated."

"But the family members of the criminals do not need to be implicated, the men do not need to be beheaded, and the female family members do not need to be consigned to low status."

After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "However, as long as there is one official involved in the case who does not appear on the list, then don't blame me for being cruel. I can also do what Taizu and Chengzu could do back then!"

Shi Kefa was awe-struck when he heard this. What does it mean to kill people and kill their hearts? This is called killing people and killing their hearts.

Not only do I want to kill you, but I also want you to confess your crime in writing before you are executed.

At that moment, Shi Kefa said: "Your Majesty, I will definitely convey the message to the Donglin Party members."

"Wrong, what I just said was for Gao Hongtu and the twenty-odd prisoners." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "But I also have something to say to all the Donglin Party members. I limit them to three days.

Nei Nei publicly published a newspaper in the Huangming Times, announcing his disassociation from the Donglin Party, and has no further ties with the Donglin Party since then."

"Huang Ming Times?" Shi Kefa couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

Who is Huangming Times? Why haven’t I heard of it?

"Mr. Shige will find out if we go back and take a look at Tongji Street." Chongzhen said, "Mr. Shige, please take the lead on this matter. After all, you were once a member of the Donglin Party."

Shi Kefa nodded and said: "This matter is my responsibility."

Shi Kefa has no psychological burden about drawing a clear line with the Donglin Party.

That day when he turned against Gao Hongtu and others in the court, Shi Kefa had completely broken with the Donglin Party.

Chongzhen added: "Anyone who declares his separation from the Donglin Party in a newspaper can continue to serve as an official in the government. Anyone who is unwilling to declare his separation from the Donglin Party in a newspaper will either be dismissed from office and return to his hometown, or wait for the dismissal from the civil service department!"

In short, there will not be another Donglin Party official in the Ming Dynasty from now on!"

Chongzhen said that he would uproot the Donglin Party, so he really uprooted the Donglin Party.

When Shi Kefa heard this, his face suddenly turned dark, and he said to himself that you just said you would not interfere in the appointment and dismissal of cabinet officials.

Chongzhen chuckled lightly and said: "Mr. Shi Ge, don't blame me for not keeping my words. After all, you haven't returned to the cabinet yet, but I will not only uproot the Donglin Party, but also completely destroy it."

Criticize it, criticize it, and then step on it with 10,000 feet, making it impossible for it to stand up forever."

"That's it, I understand."

Shi Kefa could only sigh sadly.

Think about how powerful the Donglin Party members were back then?

Unexpectedly, I have fallen into this situation today, alas.
