Chapter 179: Radical Changes in the Guard

Seeing the old man seated, everyone was smiling, Fengyang garrison eunuch Wang Yumin is the backbone of everyone in the Eight Guards, with him, even the Caoyun Governor Zhu Dadian has to be honest.

The commander of the Eight Guards waited carefully, personally served tea and poured water, and made a detailed report to Wang Yumin about the crown prince's inventory of the land.

Feng Yangwei commanded Gao Chi and said: "Father-in-law, the 100,000 acres of fertile land under your name are also in it, you can't sit idly by!" ”

Wang Yumin said leisurely: "The crown prince is still young, it is easy to be deceived by villains, and it is inevitable that he will make some small mistakes. ”

Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, but Gao Chi said, "Father-in-law, what if His Highness insists on doing it?" How do we cope? ”

Wang Yumin glanced at him and said, "How do you want to deal with it?" ”

Gao Chi groaned: "The child thinks so, if His Royal Highness insists on checking the land, we can make people make trouble, the gentry make trouble, and the military households also make trouble!" ”

Zhuang Hongchang, the prefect of Fengyang, looked at Gao Chi and said angrily: "Lord Gao, what do you mean by this?" Aren't you trying to harm your own official by doing this? ”

Gao Chi smiled and said: "Lord Zhuang, you don't have to worry, the guards are not making trouble for no reason, it's just because of the crown prince's decree, everyone doesn't agree to check the land, and it's difficult for you to do it, Lord Prefect, right?" When the matter gets up, the father-in-law and you only need to tell the crown prince about the situation in Fengyang Mansion, and I think the crown prince doesn't want to make a big deal about it, so the matter will be over. ”

Zhuang Hongchang snorted coldly: "You are too risky like this, if you blame it from above, how can it be good?" “

"Don't you have Fengyang Governor Zhu Dadian above? If he is responsible, he will come first, what are you afraid of? Gao Chi looked at Wang Yumin again, and said with a smile: "What do you say, father-in-law?" ”

Wang Yumin hesitated, if it weren't for the crown prince here, no one would dare to be so nonsense in his own territory, but His Royal Highness is in ........

Bawei's connection with him is too great, if Bawei's land is cleared, then his worth will at least shrink by half!

Thinking of this, Wang Yumin nodded and said, "What my son said is reasonable, when you get things done, I will go to the palace with Xiaozhuang to meet the crown prince." ”

According to past experience, the royal family is most afraid of the mutiny of the army below, and the Yongwei Battalion has also mutined before, but didn't His Majesty kill a group of speech officials with a rod? The Yongwei Battalion didn't have any, so Wang Yumin decided to give it a try.

After everyone negotiated, they began to eat, drink and have fun under Wang Yumin's instructions, and the maids also began to perform color arts, blowing, playing and singing, singing and dancing.

On the second day of the new round of inventory work, Yang Tinglin and some other officials of the Caoyun Yamen were violently resisted by the local gentry and landlords, and the inventory work was very difficult.

A large number of family members appeared in the cities of the Eight Guards, as well as many guards and soldiers, armed with sticks and swords, and holding banners saying that the government had forcibly seized the land on the pretext of taking over the land.

A large group of people were shouting in the streets of the city, demanding that the crown prince stop the land inventory and destroy the stable life of the army and civilians!

Many landlords and gentry smiled when they saw this situation, and took the opportunity to let their respective families join the willing crowd and add fuel to the fire.

Some guards wearing mandarin duck jackets and the landlord's family found the officials who had come to check the land, and they threw stones at them, and even went up to beat the officials out of the city.

The officers were beaten with bleeding nose and mouth, and some of them ran off their boots.

These rebels and family members only felt that it was very refreshing to attack the officials, and for a while they became unscrupulous, and began to take advantage of the chaos to loot the shops in the city.

Such a bad thing happened in the various guards, but the state and county officials in various places all lost their voices, and no one came out to stop them, and they all said that they were sick at home and did not ask about the world.

The commanders of the guards closed the city gates on the grounds of maintaining stability in the city, and instigated the landlords and gentry to make trouble in the city, and even there was a riot in Fengyang City.

Zhu Dadian in the governor's palace frowned and sighed after receiving reports from various places, the crown prince is still young, and in the face of this situation, I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with it, and it seems that he has to find and appease the commanders of the guards himself.

Zhu Dadian had to go out in person to settle the matter, he only begged not to hurt the crown prince, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the court.

In the palace of the Fengyang Imperial City, Yang Tinglin blushed and said: "Your Highness, these people are too presumptuous, they first instigated the landlords to organize their families to make trouble and create public opinion, and then they dared to let the soldiers beat the officials, which is simply too indifferent to the imperial court!" ”

Zhu Cihong lay on the dragon seat and said with a smile: "It's really wonderful! ”

Seeing that the crown prince was in an abnormal state, Yang Tinglin hesitated: "Your Highness, how should we deal with it?" Abandon the inventory? ”

Zhu Cihong smiled coldly and said, "Give up? What is Fengyang Bawei? Is it really young and can be bullied? ”

As he spoke, he stood up from the dragon seat and said in a loud voice: "Order, the first brigade of the Tianwu Army Royal is stationed in Fengyang Wei, Fengyang Zhongwei, and Fengyang Right Guard, and executes the rebels and troublemakers!" ”

"The Second Brigade of the Royal Army of the Tianwu Army is stationed in the Imperial Tomb Guard, the left guard, and the middle guard!"

"The Third Royal Brigade of the Tianwu Army is stationed in Huaiyuanwei and Hongtang Thousand Households!"

"The Royal Cavalry Regiment of the Tianwu Army is attacking Changhuaiwei!"

"If the city gate is closed, Jinyi Wei should not be able to open the city, directly artillery to break the city, encounter armed resistance, all killed, no one is allowed to let go!"

One after another orders were issued from the Imperial City and reached the various units of the Tianwu Army stationed in Fengyang City in the shortest possible time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

In the middle capital of the million-cang school field, the war drums of the Tianwu Army battalion were beating, and the sergeants of each battalion began to gather rapidly.

Wang Yumin, the eunuch of the Fengyang garrison who went to the imperial city to meet Zhu Cihong, and the prefect of Fengyang Mansion all changed their faces greatly, what is Tianwu Jun going to do? Quelling the chaos by force?

Wang Yumin's face was solemn, and Zhuang Hongchang, the prefect of Fengyang, was also in a cold sweat, and the two hurriedly came to the front of the palace and saluted Zhu Cihong.

Wang Yumin said sharply: "Your Highness, what are you going to do here?" ”

The prefect of Fengyang also said eagerly: "Your Highness must not raise troops, these guards and gentry are the foundation of the dynasty, if you move......."

Zhu Cihong looked at the two of them and said coldly: "Wang Yumin, what are you going to do in this palace?" I want to ask you! As a Fengyang garrison eunuch, he has the right to supervise civil and military officials, and during the exercise, he stayed behind to guard the eight guards and a military horse, and dispatched the officers and soldiers of the guard to suppress the resistance, impeached the local tyrants, and arrested the fugitives, the imperial court gave you so much power, and what did you do? ”

Zhu Cihong pointed at him and said hatefully: "As a eunuch in the inner court, colluding with the officers of the guard, annexing the land of military households, accepting bribes, driving away good households, and registering preferential land for wealthy merchants, don't you know about this matter?" ”

When the incidents were revealed in public, Wang Yumin was so frightened that he lay on the ground, trembling, he didn't understand why the crown prince knew so clearly.

Zhu Cihong looked at the Fengyang prefect who was sweating profusely on his forehead, and said, "And you!" Shepherd one side on behalf of the heavens, or the land of Longxing in my Ming Dynasty, how do you do it? You are better than the king Yumin! ”

The prefect of Fengyang hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Highness, the minister has been wronged!" ”

Zhu Cihong scolded angrily: "The big-headed ghost who wronged your mother! Come on, drag these two dogs down and put them on death row, waiting to be executed! ”

The two guards in the hall lifted out the two who were huddled together like catching chickens.
