I'm really not the carpenter emperor

In less than ten days, the incident in Zhenxiwei became more and more troublesome.

Now a chief soldier, a deputy chief soldier, and a magistrate have died, and more than a dozen civil servants of the guard station have also been arrested and thrown into prison by Dongchang. I am afraid that they will not survive.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao didn't sit on the throne this time, but just felt bored in his heart, so he came outside the Nuan Pavilion to get some air, looking at the sky full of stars, thoughtful.

Everything about the Dongchang was recorded in the Jiaoshi Office.

The Dongchang was indeed able to do things well, and they were asked to arrest the civil servants of the guards without the slightest sloppiness, almost curing the disease with medicine.

This time Fu Yingxing arrested more than a dozen people in Zhenxiwei, and they happened to be officials who held the real power in the army. When the cabinet was instructed to replace these people, the army in Zhenxiwei would be taken back into his own hands. up.

But every time Dongchang was asked to go down to handle a case, Zhu Youxiao would worry about it.

With the way Dongchang handles cases, someone will almost certainly die as a result of forced confession, and Fu Yingxing especially likes to use children to force criminals to confess.

Once the prisoner is stubborn, he can really kill a child.

Just as he was thinking, Wang Chaofu came from the corridor, looked at the emperor who was looking at the sky with his hands behind his back, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Master, the governor of the Northwest has sent back a good news. It is said that the Zhenxiwei rebellion has been decided, and more than [-] rebels have been wiped out..."

Chapter 641 The real power right governor

The matter of Zhenxiwei made everyone in the world see Zhu Youxiao's tough attitude.

When the news came back, all the ministers in the cabinet also got together to discuss. They all knew in their hearts that the next step after the victory was to reorganize Zhenxiwei.

Zhenxiwei is just a small guard, but he is the focus of attention of the whole world.

Wang Zaijin was very uncomfortable sitting in the position of the second assistant of the cabinet, because he represented the opinions of the opposition in the recent summons.

He was indeed afraid at that time, but now he still has no confidence in reforming the guard.

Zhenxiwei was the only one who had the accident. It is not yet known whether such a brutal policy of repression by the imperial court will have adverse effects across the country.

In the fifth year of the apocalypse, there were only four ministers in the cabinet, and the Grand Master of the Wuying Hall was suspended.

The first assistant, Wei Guangwei, and the second assistant, Wang Zaijin, were once the ministers of the humerus that the current emperor relied on. Hu Shiguang, a scholar of Dongge University, and Xu Weijing, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, were also representatives of the other parties.

The two of them had already expressed their attitudes when they investigated the twelve Shanxi merchants. Naturally, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk all the way to the dark.

At that time, they had already betrayed the local party in Shanxi who recommended them to the cabinet. If they caused dissatisfaction with the emperor and the eunuch party again, this assistant minister would be done.

At first, both of them had the same idea as Wang Zaijin, but due to the current situation, they had to choose to side with the emperor.

Now that the news about Zhenxiwei came, they knew that they had chosen the right one...

The northwest battalion went down to suppress the rebellion, fought and won victoriously all the way, and showed no mercy to the rebels. In Zhenxi Weicheng, the rebels alone killed more than 8000 people.

In the follow-up investigation of the East Factory, it is not yet known how many more people will be killed.

This time, Zhenxiwei might be completely overthrown and rebuilt. No one thought that in the past, the counter-insurgency usually only punished the chief villain and did not kill the followers.

Xu was in order to expand his influence, this time the emperor chose to kill them all.

In other words, after the Northwest Army broke through the city, all guard soldiers who remained in the city, from generals to pawns, were regarded as treason, and all of them were guilty of the same crime!

In the Ming Dynasty, such a serious Weisuo rebellion had never been dealt with!

The atmosphere in the cabinet signing room was very heavy. The dim oil lamps and dim candlelight just embellished the mood of the four cabinet ministers at this moment.

"What does the chief assistant think about Zhenxiwei?" Suddenly, Xu Weijing asked.

When Wei Guangwei heard this, his face didn't move, but he was startled in his heart, and quickly said: "Zhenxiwei caused chaos, so it should be purged! What are you thinking..."

His appearance is like a frightened bird.

After the words fell, the signing room fell into a long silence.

Everyone is in a bad mood. In such an era of great change, every wrong step is an unbearable result.

Just at this moment, thunder and lightning flashed over the Forbidden City, and after a light rain, a torrential rain fell over the signing room.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the corridor, mixed with the sound of wet rain, and they stopped in front of the door of the signing room, but it was the steward signboard of the Emperor Palace, and Wang Chengen had arrived.

He was accompanied by two young eunuchs, both of whom were also drenched.

Wang Chengen walked into the somewhat warm signing room, while patting the rain on his body, he said:

"Hey, our family came here to pass on the emperor's dictation, how could it happen that halfway through, it rained like this! It's really ruining people..."

Pass the emperor's oral order?

The four elders in the cabinet all trembled, and the Second Assistant King Zai Jin asked:

"What oral order?"

"You don't have to get up, the elders. This is also the order of the emperor, saying that you have a heavy burden now, so you should pay more attention to your body."

Wang Chengen walked into the signing room, sat on a seat, and said with a smile:

"The emperor said that the matter of the Zhenxi Wei is over, but the guard will continue to move, how can we do without the officials?"

"No, let me ask the four elders, is there any suitable candidate?"

"By the way, there is also the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, which was completely destroyed by the rebels. Although the power of the Governor's Mansion belongs to the military officer, it still needs to be governed by civilian officials..."

"For this candidate, I need the elders to worry too much."

After finishing speaking, Wang Chengen looked at them with a smile.

Xu Weijing and Hu Shiguang, the suffering brothers, looked at each other and asked almost at the same time: "Your Majesty really said so?"

Wei Guangwei was taken aback for a moment, and also murmured: "The power of the governor's mansion belongs to the military officer, and the government affairs are handled by civilian officials?"

Wang Zaijin sat there with disbelief on his face.

"The guard will continue to move around, that is to say, this time simply changed a group of people in Zhenxiwei, and the people who were killed were all those traitors who rebelled and conspired?"

For a moment, the four cabinet ministers all looked at Wang Chengen in unison.

The latter smiled, spread his hands and said:

"How can our family know so much? You just came here to pass on a message. Don't the elders know better than I do what the Lord means?"

"Back, back!"

Wang Chengen said, without giving them a chance to ask more questions, he turned around and left the signing room. Feeling a chill, he muttered:

"It's a ghost of solar terms, it rains so much when it says it's raining."

These few words were handed down in the form of oral instructions, not imperial decrees, but one can imagine what kind of fluctuations these words will cause in the local area if they are spread out.

……

One slap and one sweet date, and then continue to do his own thing. After being the emperor for so many years, he is still proficient in using this method of deceiving people.

Those few sentences were indeed "inadvertently" spread to the people, and now a considerable number of people who think they will not be implicated do not intend to wade into this muddy water.

But in fact, they are all the people Zhu Youxiao wants to liquidate afterwards.

After all, the resistance to regaining the military power of the guards and the military settlements is now less, which will significantly help the subsequent reforms of the guards.

The next day, the cabinet's opinions were submitted to Xinuang Pavilion in the form of memorials.

In response to the Zhenxiwei incident, [-] relevant officials in charge of the military village were all dismissed and investigated. Presumably, the follow-up outcome will not be too good.

And the main officials of the [-] related guards in Zhenxiwei were also replaced by Zhu Youxiao's own people.

Dongchang is still arresting people in Zhenxiwei, but now it is not officials.

They rushed into the homes of rich households and landlords who occupied the military camps of the guards under various names, and started arresting people without declaring any crimes.

At this moment, it is extremely easy for Dongchang to catch people.

The opposition forces in Zhenxi Wei disappeared as the rebels were wiped out, and the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army was rebuilt on the ruins.

Ma Shilong, the new left governor of the Youjun Governor's Mansion, is an imperial party with real military power in his hands. At this time, the new civil servants sent by the imperial court to the Youjun Dudu's Mansion have just left Beijing.

There are more than [-] people in the Northwest Army, so they will stay in Zhenxiwei for a short time.

I don't know if the Northwest Army will return to the Lingqiu camp after the situation in Zhenxiwei is stabilized, but many people probably say that it is suspended.

The Weisuo garrisoned the government, and Shanxi had to run it one family after another. Once the Northwest Army withdrew, the Weisuo soldiers would be ready to move again.

With such an elite imperial court pressing down, it will be much more convenient to do things.

Chapter 642 Thirty Years Alliance War

"sound of a bell!--"

"sound of a bell!--"

Early in the morning, I heard bells ringing, heavy and far-reaching. The sound from the Wufeng Building above Chengtian Gate was transmitted to every corner of the capital, and it seemed to penetrate the sky.

Many people clearly know that the court meeting is over!

Since the current emperor officially came to the court in the third year of the apocalypse, the rule of two days and one court has been practiced to this day, and it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Some people travel thousands of miles just to hear the bells on Wufeng Tower and experience the majesty of the imperial city.

A group of guards from the Imperial Army of the Yongwei Battalion trotted out of the Chengtian Gate in groups, and the officials who were going to the court meeting and were not on duty in the Six Departments filed out.

Some went to their respective government offices in the capital, and some went out to handle official duties, starting a busy and fulfilling day.

However, this day seemed to be different from the past. The people soon discovered that the forbidden army in front of Chengtian Gate did not retreat directly, and all the ministers had left, and they were still queuing up.

"Hoo ho ho..."

There was a sound of horseshoes, and more than a dozen cavalrymen from the Yongwei Battalion rushed out, came to the street, drew their whips in their hands, and waved them in the air.

The whip bends in the air and then straightens suddenly, which is called static whip.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!--"

The common people all understand that this is the imperial army in Jingjie.

This is the first time such a thing has happened in the Tianqi Dynasty. According to the past, there are many signs that indicate one thing, the current emperor is about to come out.

Sure enough, after more than a dozen cavalrymen whipped quietly along the street, a large number of infantry from the Guards Battalion came to the street.

These people were all fully armed to the teeth, with steel knives on their waists, and iron armor on their bodies, trotting and lining up along the street, leading to a place.

Most of the common people and passers-by had already evaded very quickly when the cavalry was silently whipping.

The few smart ones followed the queue of the Yongwei Battalion and rushed to the place where the emperor was going to watch in advance. This kind of situation is really rare.

Many pedestrians who came to the capital for the first time didn't know this rule, and they didn't know if they didn't ask. They were shocked when they asked. It seemed that they were all lucky people.

If at this time, he dared to stay in the middle of the street where the emperor was about to march, there would definitely be officials patrolling the street to arrest him and question him.

This is just the beginning, the cavalry's static whip will be carried out three times.

For the first time, it was advertised in advance, so that people had the space and leeway to prepare.

The second time is to remind people to avoid it.

When it came to the last time, it was an unquestionable order. Once the sound of the silent whip fell to the ground, those who heard it had to kneel down immediately.

No matter where you are, no matter what your status is, if the sound of the whip falls to the ground, and you don't kneel down and look at the street, you will be directly convicted.

The emperor walks the street, from ancient times to the present, it has always been like this.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!--"

Soon, the second sound of silent whip came.

The people quickly found a good position, but at this time, only a small number of people knelt on the ground, and more people stretched their necks to look around.

The sound of the silent whip fell to the ground, and a group of Luanyi soldiers walked through the street holding bright yellow dragon flags, and the flags were fluttering. At this time, the entire street, the imperial guards and officials of the Yongwei Battalion, were half kneeling on the ground. .

Even the cavalry on horseback bowed down to show their dignity.

A cavalry composed of dozens of big Han generals galloped out of Chengtianmen and walked slowly on the street, followed by a huge band composed of drums, dragon flutes, horns, small brass horns, big brass horns, etc. Yu people.

The small brass horns were mellow and clear, and the eight pipes played in unison, while the melodious melody of the flute eulogized the merits and virtues of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

The band played, deafening.
