I'm really not the carpenter emperor

After the imperial decree was issued, Wang Chaofu didn't say anything else, he just bowed and said: "Your servant understands, now go and report to the elders in the cabinet."

Since the entire harem was moved out of the Forbidden City, the office of the cabinet was also changed, and it became a tent in Nanhaizi, which was very shabby compared to the previous signing room in the Forbidden City.

Hearing the words of Wang Chaofu from Yuqian brand, the elders of the pavilion exchanged glances. They are all human beings, so they naturally understood the meaning behind the emperor's words.

The closing of the case of Wang Gongchang by the Ministry of Criminal Justice is just the beginning, and the officials know in their hearts that it was just to fool the common people.

The real investigation has only started now, and if one is found, one must be dealt with. Now it is an excuse to rectify the three major battalions of nobles.

If anything else is found later, it will be rectified.

After all, in recent years, the imperial court has suppressed civil servants too much, and the nobles have become more and more arrogant and lawless. They should also be given some warnings, so as not to be forced to kill them in the future.

Moreover, the matter of Wang Gongchang is too big. Now Zhu Youxiao uses this as an excuse to trick anyone who follows the destiny and people's hearts.

Chapter 774 Rectifying the Three Great Battalions

The capital, the [-]-battalion garrison camp.

"Open the door!" Chen Ce was riding a tall horse, wearing mountain armor and a basalt helmet, holding the rein in one hand, and shouted:

"I am Chen Ce of the Yongwei Camp, and I am ordered to arrest the imperial court criminals!"

"Open the door quickly!"

It was nearly noon, Chen Ce covered the strong sunlight with his hands, and found that there was no one around the camp of the [-] Battalion, not even a patrolling soldier could be seen.

For a while, the officers and soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion were all talking about it.

It turns out that these are the three major battalions of the capital who are known as the elite and receive the highest treatment. It seems that they are just famous for their reputation!

Chen Ce's face gradually became gloomy. The three battalions have undergone rectification and reorganization many times over the years, and they still look half-dead.

The reason is that no matter how they were rectified, the emperors of all dynasties did not dare to touch the noble forces. No matter how they were rectified, they only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

In a few years, the three major battalions will return to their original state.

Today's Emperor Tianqi is a sage king, he dares to challenge the ministers, and also dares to attack the nobles, this is a god-given opportunity that must not be missed.

"Humph."

Chen Ce didn't plan to wait any longer, he might as well give them a surprise attack.

So, he waved his hand and shouted:

"Blow open the gates of the camp for the governor, rush in, search camps one by one, first gather all the Mongols, question them one by one, and find out all the secrets of slavery!"

"Bang bang bang-!"

With a burst of violent artillery fire, the already weak camp gate was shattered, and thousands of officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion shouted and rushed in.

This scene attracted refugees on the street to gather around.

The imperial army actually took action against the Beijing camp. This is a rare event that is rarely seen in life. Besides, it seems to show that Wang Gongchang was really bombed by slaves!

Otherwise, why would the imperial court dispatch the forbidden army?

For a time, many people were filled with righteous indignation, shouting and cursing inside.

"Catch them!"

"Cut these Tartars into tens of thousands of pieces, and my family will be crushed to death!"

The Yongwei Battalion filled the garrison of the [-] Battalion that had no resistance, and when they took control of the entire camp, most of the soldiers of the [-] Battalion inside were still working on their own.

They sleep, sleep, play cards, they are very busy.

Suddenly, officers and soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion rushed in.

"Tied up!"

"I am ordered to rectify the three major battalions of the Beijing Army, and those who resist will be killed!"

"Hold your head and squat in the corner, anyone who speaks nonsense will be killed!"

The soldiers of the Brave Guard Battalion had a completely different aura than these military masters, they were all elites who had killed the enemy in battle.

The cold and serious look in their eyes made people have no doubt that as long as they dared to make any changes, they would do it immediately.

What's more, most of the people in the [-] Battalion didn't even know what happened.

It was less than twelve hours since the explosion of Wang Gong's factory yesterday, and now Chen Ce led the Yongwei Battalion into the camp. No one expected that the imperial court would move so quickly.

Xu Yunzhen, the son of Dingguo Duke Xu Xigao, was sleeping soundly holding the wine jar. Chen Ce was the first to rush in. Before he could find him, he smelled a strong smell of wine.

Then, the scene in front of him made his heart tremble even more!

Surrounded by Xu Yunzhen are several naked women. Obviously, this young man had a lot of fun in the barracks last night!

At this time, an officer of the Yongwei Battalion, who was also the first batch of graduates of the Imperial Shun Astronomical Academy two years ago, and now Xiao Huaizhi, the military officer of the Yongwei Battalion, came over and said:

"Governor, the entire camp has been controlled by us. There are not many real Mongols in the [-] camp. There are only about [-] people. The rest are the children of the prince's mansion."

"Look, how to deal with it?"

This is a hot potato, which has provoked too many nobles, and it is also the reason why the emperors of all dynasties are unwilling to do this.

But Chen Ce came from a mud-legged background, and it was only because of the trust and promotion of Emperor Qi today that he got to his current position.

Now that he has the imperial decree in his hand, he is not afraid of anything.

"Hold it! Find out which family's honorable children they are, and submit a list to His Majesty, and let His Majesty deal with it!"

After all, Xiao Huaizhi was born in the Imperial College. He was bold and careful, and he dared to speak. He frowned and said, "Governor, I just saw that there are many powerful and noble children among them."

Chen Ce snorted coldly, unmoved.

Xiao Huaizhi walked out of the camp with him, and continued:

"Song Xianzhao, the son of Song Yude, Marquis of Xining, Xue Gang, the son of Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, and Chen Jisheng, the son of Chen Yanzuo, the Marquis of Taining who is in Taiyuan, Shanxi, are all among them."

"These people were all entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty after the reorganization of the guard. I don't know how many of them have not seen it. Should the governor think about it?"

Hearing this, Chen Ce turned his head and said:

"Your Majesty set up the Imperial Academy not to teach you the skills of Tai Chi, but to use your full knowledge of economics to assist His Majesty in governing the world."

"Your Majesty has issued an order. I, Chen Ce, have nothing to say. I will do whoever the imperial order tells me to do!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

What he said made Xiao Huaizhi stunned on the spot, deeply ashamed.

……

At noon on the second day after the Wang Gong factory explosion, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, together with the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture, issued a detailed notice on the factory disaster.

The notice clearly pointed out that the explosion at the Wang Gong factory was man-made.

A joint investigation by the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry revealed that the spies of the State of Jin in the [-] Battalion secretly communicated with Chen Xian, the chief craftsman of Wang Gong Factory, and set fire to the gunpowder magazine, and used a large amount of lacquer water to create greater power.

Chen Xian has already subdued the law, and the Yongwei Battalion was dispatched at noon according to the order. Governor Chen Ce was in charge of forcibly rectifying the three major camps of the capital, and arresting the slaves and spies to bring justice to justice.

The government's handling of this disaster is not untimely.

Once the disaster happened, all major yamen such as Wucheng Bingmasi, Shuntianfu yamen, etc., whose official offices were not damaged to a certain extent, dispatched their staff one after another to do their own thing.

Except for the soldiers and horses of the five cities, which were located in the southeast of the city and the official office collapsed, the other three soldiers and horses of the North City, South City, West City, and Zhongcheng all sent a large number of soldiers to the streets.

In the capital garrison camp located in the west of the city, in addition to the necessary manpower for staying behind and patrolling, almost all officers and soldiers were also dispatched to maintain order and help rebuild.

Although the government dealt with it quickly and in a timely manner, the people still suffered heavy losses, public grievances arose everywhere, and the more rumors spread, the more evil they became.

From the 37th year of Wanli to the beginning of the sixth year of Tianqi, the Donglin scholars who were suppressed by the eunuchs and dared not show their heads, this time they all sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain.

They gathered people along the street, in the name of giving lectures, gathered the refugees who were homeless due to the bombing, and criticized the Apocalypse government.

Among them, the disturbance in the east city of the capital was the biggest.

In this catastrophe at Wanggong Factory, Dongcheng was the first to bear the brunt. Seven or eight out of ten houses were damaged. The fire continued day and night, and tens of thousands of people died.

Frightened and angry, many people began to listen to the so-called "learned men"'s demagogues, thinking that it was a warning of a change in the sky, and the call for the emperor to eradicate the eunuchs intensified.

However, since the explosion occurred during the day yesterday, there has been no news from Zhu Youxiao who is in Nanhaizi.

It seemed that he was determined to cover up the eunuchs.

All of a sudden, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was turbulent, and people were panic-stricken.

Chapter 775 Only by making meritorious service in the future

"Song Xianzhao, the son of Song Yude, Marquis of Xining, Xue Gang, the son of Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, Chen Jisheng, the son of Chen Yanzuo, Marquis of Taining..."

Zhu Youxiao sat in the Nanhaizi Palace, reading the names of these eighty-odd people, and many of them were familiar. Among them, Chen Yanzuo, Marquis of Taining, made great contributions to the imperial court's rectification of the Shanxi Guard.

Guo Peimin, Marquis of Wu Ding, died while serving as the governor of the military governor's mansion. Few people dared to go to the muddy water of the guard again, but even under such circumstances, Chen Yanzuo still went.

He not only went, but also accomplished this great event.

But even an honorable man like Chen Yanzuo actually arranged for his heirs to live in the three major battalions to eat empty wages and drink the blood of soldiers.

Now Zhu Youxiao didn't feel any anger in his heart, instead, he had mixed feelings, and he didn't know whether to be angry or worried, or helpless.

Also Song Yude, Marquis of Xining, and Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, did not frown at critical moments and decided to support their nobles.

"If I remember correctly, Marquis Taining is following my order to take charge of the Rear Army Commander's Mansion in Taiyuan, Shanxi, right?"

Zhu Youxiao asked suddenly.

Wang Chaofu hurriedly replied: "My lord, the Marquis of Taining, Marquis of Xining, and Marquis of Yangwu have all made great contributions to the country."

Having said that, Wang Chaofu did not continue talking.

"Yes, they are not at fault." Zhu Youxiao sighed, his expression immediately became firm, and said:

"But their son made a big mistake."

"They sent their sons to the military camp to practice, but these sons didn't know the hardships of their ancestors who followed the emperor to conquer the world, sucked the blood of soldiers, and took up the quota but did not practice."

"Although it's not their fault, they can't escape this punishment!"

How clever Wang Chaofu was, he immediately understood that the emperor wanted to be lenient. After all, only the emperor and Chen Ce knew about this matter.

The emperor is determined to be lenient, and no one will say anything more.

He quickly laughed and said: "So, do you want this servant to go to the Three Thousand Battalion in person and send a message to release the children of these mansions?"

"Let it go?" Zhu Youxiao asked back, leaning on the chair, and said:

"Their crimes are so deep that they have to be punished. Chen Yanzuo, Song Yude, Xue Lian and others have committed crimes for allowing the children of various schools to commit crimes. If they let them go like this, wouldn't it be empty talk to rectify the three camps?"

"Then the emperor means..." At this moment, Wang Chaofu was a little confused, with a big question mark written on his face.

"You go there in person and tell Chen Ce to keep these people under detention, and none of them can be released. The gentlemen on the list should go to the barracks to get them."

"I'm personally waiting for them at the barracks!"

……

When the news came out, all the nobles were very flustered.

Especially Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, he seemed to have a lot of things recently.

At first, it was rumored that he was rampant and lawless, such as robbing civilian women and conniving domestic slaves, all these hats came up all at once.

Fortunately, the emperor gave an errand to relocate Wang Gong's factory, which saved the day.

Who would have thought that Wang Gong's factory would fucking blow up after only moving for less than a month!

This kind of thing that hasn't happened once in 300 years has happened to him. Who can ask for reason?

If you really want to count, you, Xue Lian, were in charge of moving the Wanggong factory, and now it's blown up, can you say you're fine?Can't one run away because of incompetence?

Xue Lian himself would not believe it if he said that he could escape this catastrophe!

Now that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has closed the case, Xue Lian is still too vain, thinking all day about when to ask for orders to lead the army, so that he can go out and make a military exploit before he can feel at ease.

Just today, the Yongwei Battalion raided the [-] Battalion by order, and then?And his mother is the business of my Yangwu Hou Mansion!

That incompetent son of a bitch was caught by a general of the Yongwei Camp, and he was playing cards with a few brothers at the time.

It doesn't matter if you play cards, but where does this bastard play cards, whether in the military camp or in the camp of the three major battalions.

This matter is not a small matter...!
