Cao Cao and Qiao Rui were not subject to substantial punishment.

However, at Guo Peng's instruction, Cao Lan and Daqiao wrote a letter to Cao Cao and Qiao Rui respectively. After reading it, they felt sad and couldn't sleep for a while.

The officials who were punished were in panic all day long. For several days, they were frightened to death overnight and did not dare to sleep.

When everything was settled, they took a few breaths of emotion.

The emperor's blow was too fast and fierce. Without giving them any chance to react, everything was settled.

Those who were driven away, those whose descendants were unable to become officials for three generations, those who were demoted, those who were punished and deprived of their salary, all of which were all driven away, totaling 307 people.

The bureaucratic forces at Shangshutai were severely hit.

The fully armed emperor's imperial guards scattered everywhere to assist officials in the third department to handle official duties.

Under the guidance of officials from the Third Division, all officials who were to be expelled were arrested, their homes were confiscated, and their wealth was confiscated. They were then collectively expelled from the capital and handed over to the relevant departments to send them to the exile place.

A large group of men, women, young and old lost everything, could only wear clothes on their bodies, and were driven away by the imperial guards, crying and shouting, and were driven out of the capital.

Then they ride on the ox cart together and head for an unknown future.

No one knows what their future will be like, but what is certain is that it must be very difficult.

Luoyang's flower world, stone roads, the prosperous four major markets in the southeast, west and northwest, clean public toilets and fresh air have nothing to do with them since then.

The superior economic and political resources in Luoyang City have no relationship with them since then.

Cui Yan's mansion was taken over by a black-faced imperial guards. All his family members, including Cui Yan, were driven out of the mansion, threw them on the ox cart, and drove out of Luoyang City.

He and they will never return to Luoyang City again.

The whole family was driven out of the capital by crying and shouting, and then escorted back to their hometown in Qinghe by fully armed troops. From then on, they were imprisoned in the local area and could not even leave their hometown.

His own direct descendants will also be confined to the local area. For three consecutive generations, they cannot be appointed as filial and honest officials, and can only cultivate fields and live.

Because of Cui Yan's incident, Guo Peng held Cui Yan's family accountable and demanded a conspiracy.

Cui Yan's two brothers who were local county magistrates and county magistrates outside were also dismissed and rushed back to their hometown to be deposed as commoners. At least when Guo Peng was alive, he would not think of rehabilitation and farming honestly.

The filial and honest people of the Cui clan were all abolished and fame were not counted, and they were not allowed to be elected as officials.

This is Mr. Guo’s own decision.

Because he hated Cui Yan, he wanted his relatives to be in charge and were severely punished.

The Cui family in Qinghe had just had a little idea, but was deposed by Guo and tried his best. Once they were brought back to the liberation, they were deposed as a commoner family.

It can be said that it is extremely miserable. It can even be said that everything except life and part of the land was lost. All the resources accumulated over the years were deprived of, and nothing left was left.

Cui Yan is a typical example. In addition to the typical example, there are many officials of all sizes and big and small who are involved.

Guo expanded the scope of the attack under [Rage].

The central government severely punished 307 officials, of which only abolished the official positions of 106 officials.

However, in the local area, the relatives of these 106 people and the relatives of officials at the three levels of prefectures, counties and counties were also jointly investigated by the three departments.

Finally, it was found that more than 70 local officials who did have malfeasance, and more than 60 local officials who did not have malfeasance were also abolished and lost all their political power.

It means that many families not only suffered cruel political blows in the central government, but also local branches, and their efforts were wiped out for several years.

This time, Guo did not just deal with central officials in the central government, but also local governments were implicated. Compared with the Cui Qu case a year ago, this political struggle had a greater impact and a wider range of implications.

Not only will you lose your official position and status, but you will also be implicated and cannot become an official.

The Luoyang black-clothed imperial guards' large-scale move made Luoyang officials tremble, fearing that they would make the emperor unhappy in some places, so they followed the footsteps of this group of people.

The situation in Luoyang was completely taken over by officials of the Third Division, and the dispatch of the Imperial Army also showed that the emperor's anger was pouring out.

No one dared to offend the emperor's bad luck at this time, and no one dared to plead for his colleagues. They could only watch their colleagues with good friendships suffer a political blow.

The two major power groups of Shangshutai, Cheng Yu Group and Tian Feng Group, were jointly attacked by Guo Peng and suffered heavy losses.

Under such circumstances, on April 26, the fourth year of Yande, Guo Peng issued an order to announce several things.

One is to appoint former Imperial College teacher Xu Jing as Minister of Rites.

The second is to appoint Zhang Zhao, the former prefect of Hedong County, as the Minister of Personnel.

The third is that the plan to extend the canal to Jizhou was determined by the emperor to be feasible, and ordered the Ministry of Works to come up with the implementation of the charter as soon as possible and begin research and discussion.

The fourth is to warn officials of various departments that the emperor was very angry about this matter and they should be careful.

For the sake of a struggle for the will, the emperor actually saw such an ugly side of his ministers!

Some people even bleed about it, fought at the feet of the emperor, and injured the censor Guo Hong. He did not take the emperor's majesty seriously at all, and he was very angry.

This severe punishment is not the end. If there is another ugly fight, it will not be like this now.

It will die.

Remember, only I can make you bleed.

The cold warning shocked everyone's heart.

During this political storm, the highest official who fell was Cui Yan.

Although the cause of the incident was not because of him, and the most unlucky one was not the only one, just because he had the highest official position and caused the greatest response. Therefore, a large number of officials were punished and implicated in countless family members was named [Cui Yan case].

The incident caused by two consecutive major cases being officially designated by Guo as a person named Cui. In a sense, Cui is destined to be kept in history.

But unfortunately, they cannot gain any political capital.

On the contrary, you must also lose all the political capital you earn.

So the Cui family in Qinghe was completely abolished.

After the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Chen family in Yingchuan, and the Zhong family in Yingchuan, the sixth famous family that had become large was also devastatingly hit by Guo.

Unlike the first five, Cui was just looking for a shot by himself, and even hit Guo's gun. It would be considered as good for Guo to not take action against their entire clan.

At least Mr. Guo did not kill anyone, but just killed his heart.

Because of the fear, the survivors did not even care about the emperor's first three orders very much.

It was not until the storm of this matter gradually passed, and more than ten days later, Xu Jing and Zhang Zhao had already taken office, that they noticed what changes the emperor had made in the court.

Shangshutai, which was hit hard by a large number of people, welcomed a group of new power controllers.

Xu Jing, a native of Runan, once presided over the Yuedan Praise. He was highly respected and famous. It is known to everyone. There was no problem with him being the Minister of Rites.

Zhang Zhao, a native of Xuzhou, although he is very experienced, he is still a famous scholar in the local area.

After pursuing the position of county magistrate and county magistrate, he is now promoted to the Central Committee to serve as Minister of Personnel, from 2,000 shi to 2,500 shi, and there is no problem in terms of procedure.

But if everything were done according to the procedures, then the whole court would have been in harmony long ago.
