Chapter 132: Give Shi Heng a New Choice

After Zhu Qizhen returned to the Qianqing Palace with the prince, Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Pass on Shi Biao." ”

Shi Biao served in the Beijing camp.

This is also the same system formulated by Zhu Qizhen, Yang Hong is in Beijing, and Yang Hong's children and nephews, such as Yang Xin, Yang Neng, Yang Qi and others, are not in Beijing.

Shi Heng is in Mobei, but most of the children of the Shi family are in Beijing.

Shi Biao arrived in a while.

After he saluted, Zhu Qizhen asked lightly, "Shi Heng wants to rebel?" ”

When Shi Biao heard this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out, he knelt on the ground, and said: "The minister guarantees his life, and my uncle has no intention of rebelling." ”

Zhu Qizhen said indifferently: "But he is not my pure minister of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Shi Biao wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

He wanted to defend Shi Heng, but he also knew some things.

The military discipline of the Ming Dynasty is not good, but on the whole, the fourteenth year of orthodoxy is a low point, and then the military discipline has improved little by little.

This is because of Zhu Qizhen's various treatments of the army, such as a large number of martial arts generals joining the army, such as the system of judges, all over the army.

These judges are not only from martial arts, but also have many talented children who have written from Rong. At least in Hebei, joining the army has been seen as the equivalent of the imperial examination.

In this way, in general, the military discipline of the Ming army has improved little by little.

There were a lot of shady scenes or something before, although there are still a lot of remnants, for example, people from noble backgrounds can climb relatively fast, even if it is a concubine, under the influence of the family, they can climb up.

But after all, they will meet a large number of generals who are born as soldiers to compete on the same stage.

Nowadays, nearly one-third of the civilians or middle and low-level officers in martial arts have stood tall, and they are still increasing.

Of course, this naturally divides into new factions in martial arts, which can be said to be the Xungui faction and the bitter cold faction. The two sides mostly do not deal with each other. In general, the bitter cold faction does not have a climate.

After all, Xungui was born and trained since he was a child, and he ranks in the top dozens of martial arts every year, and there are very few people from the bitter cold faction. But the sprouts have already been planted.

And what Shi Heng himself did actually represents a lot of people, that is, generals from the old border army.

At that time, although those border army generals fought effectively on the nine sides, they were extremely lawless.

Or they've all become accustomed to it.

Thinking about the weapons and equipment that can arm tens of thousands of troops with tile thorns, is it really something that Wang Zhen and the eunuchs can do?

How can it be?

If there is no participation of the upper and lower groups of the border army, how can it be unscrupulous, even if some border army generals who do not participate in it, they do not want to, or they are not qualified. It's hard to say.

Smuggling dares to be so unscrupulous, not to mention other fish, meat, military households, and other things.

After 14 years of orthodoxy, although Zhu Qizhen did not drastically rectify the army, he continued to work hard, and it could be cleaned up again and again, stubble after stubble, from Beijing to the localities.

A lot of people were taken down. There are many generals who know that the limelight is not right, and they all give up.

But there are still some stubborn people. Among such people, Shi Heng is one of the representatives.

I thought that the eldest of the heavens, my second, thought that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, even the emperor's hand did not dare to stretch out so long.

Shi Heng is in Longcheng, and he simply regards the Mobei grassland as his Shi family's own horse farm, and all the departments of Mobei Mongolia have to give gifts to Shi Heng, not to mention, the horses transported from Mobei to the Central Plains, as well as the materials transported from the Central Plains to Mobei, all have to pass through Shi Heng's hands.

As for all kinds of other infringements and overstepping duties, such as accepting righteous sons, such as disposing of subordinates at will, etc., it is simply too many to mention.

Shi Biao couldn't even say the words to defend Shi Heng.

In Zhu Qizhen's heart, although Shi Heng has made great contributions, there is a way to die.

If Zhu Qizhen wants to adhere to the policy between them, the battle of the Western Expedition will be fought in a few years.

Shi Heng's problem is not a problem.

But now that this battle is in advance, then Shi Heng's matter needs a solution.

First of all, Shi Heng has always been the first choice of the generals of the Western Expedition, regardless of whether Shi Heng is a pure minister or not, if it is purely military, no one is more suitable than Shi Heng.

Secondly, Shi Heng controls the army in the north, if Zhu Qizhen sends several cavalry cavalry of the Mongolian border army in Beijing to march westward, but does not move Shi Heng, then Shi Heng will have no obstacle from Mobei to Jingshi.

Of course, even so, it is impossible for Shi Heng to break into Juyong Pass.

But it's not always beautiful.

It would not be a good choice if Shi Heng was executed before the Western Expedition.

It's not about whether Shi Heng has a way to die. It's that Shi Heng himself is also a top in the army. No matter what Shi Heng did, Shi Heng was a general, invincible on the battlefield, swaying freely, and had an extremely powerful personality.

All the soldiers who followed Shi Heng to the battlefield called him General Shi. Hold a subordinate salute.

The impact is also staggering.

If Shi Heng is killed according to the original plan, and it takes a few years to calm the mood in the army, there will be no big problem in the westward expedition, but now the time is advanced, and it is really taboo for soldiers to kill the general before the battle.

Even though a storm is brewing in Zhu Qizhen's heart, a big political storm, this is not the same thing as being willful.

Zhu Qizhen never acted rashly.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen certainly didn't have to kill Shi Heng. But if Shi Heng is not interested, Zhu Qizhen is not unable to do it. After all, if you lose Shi Heng, there will be no war?

Zhu Qizhen didn't speak for a while.

Shi Biao knelt on the ground, cold sweat falling on the ground with his face.

It's late autumn and it's cold. But Shi Biao still sweated. 、

Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "Huaien, show him the excerpts about Shi Heng." ”

Huaien immediately asked someone to carry a box to Shi Biao and open it in front of Shi Biao. Shi Biao was very frightened when he saw it.

He didn't even need to look closely, he just needed to look at the folds above, most of them were from Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the other half were from many officials in Longcheng, as well as from the Central Imperial History.

There are at least a few hundred copies on top of each other.

Shi Biao didn't look at it either, kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Nian has contributed to the country, please spare my uncle's life." ”

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said; "If it weren't for the fact that he was a meritorious man, he would have been punished a long time ago. I'll give him one last chance, take this box, you go to see Shi Heng, ask him, if you want to rebel, please hurry, if you don't want to rebel, let him go to Beijing to receive the punishment. ”

Shi Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and after hearing this, it was estimated that Shi Heng's life could be saved.

Now that Shi Heng's life can be saved, Shi Biao is much more at ease.

You must know that in this era, the family has always been a loss and a glory. Shi Biao has today's status, of course, Shi Biao is a fierce general, just in terms of the talent of rushing into battle, the Ming Dynasty can be ranked in the top ten.

However, Shi Biao was able to rise to the top and become the backbone of young and middle-aged generals, and Fang Jin, Yang Xin, Fan Guang, Wang Ying, Mao Rui, Liu Ju, and others were listed by Zhu Qizhen as candidates for the next generation of cabinet ministers and privy councillors, and generals of the three armed forces.

Is it just Shi Biao's ability?

Once Shi Heng is sentenced to death, Shi Biao will inevitably be implicated. If Shi Heng rebelled, one of the Shi family's children in the capital would be counted as one, and they would not be able to escape from the vegetable market.

As far as Shi Biao's own interests are concerned, he is 10,000 willing to let Shi Heng come back to confess.

After all, it is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if Shi Heng is far away in Mobei, it is difficult to escape the law of the Ming Dynasty.

Shi Biao said yes again and again, and then left with this box, and then took two or three companions and left Beijing for Mobei.

If Shi Biao does it, he won't mention it for the time being.

After Zhu Qizhen saw Shi Biao leave the Qianqing Palace. The prince looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhu Qizhen said: "You can ask whatever you want." ”

Today is an unforgettable day for the crown prince.

There are so many puzzles in it. However, he also knew that there were some things that he couldn't ask directly, so he asked: "Father, this Shi Heng is certainly talented, but Erchen has read Shi Heng's file, and many of the things are outrageous. It's simply lawless, how can such a person be used again if he doesn't know the canonical punishment? ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly when he heard this, and said, "Yes, I can see that I am going to use Shi Heng." ”
