Chapter 50: Co-optation (3 more)
In addition to the Jinyi Guard, there are 12 guards in the forbidden army of the Wen Dynasty, what Yulin Guard, Jin Wuwei, and Tiger Benwei, all the forbidden troops add up to 30,000 people, and Yulin Wei is the forbidden army responsible for the security of the palace.
Due to the increasing power of the left and right prime ministers, the command of the forbidden army has gradually fallen into the hands of the military department Shangshu, and the popular point is that Tang Wenyuan cannot mobilize the forbidden army now.
Now it's hard to seize such an opportunity, of course, to take back the command of Yu Linwei first.
Zhou Tong was sleeping in the army camp at this time, and he had no idea that a bloody storm was coming.
Since the Imperial Guards were responsible for the security of the palace, the camp was built next to the palace.
Tang Wenyuan came to the Yulinwei camp with more than 300 Jinyi guards, but was stopped by Yulinwei's people, "Without an order, no one is allowed to be good at the military camp!" ”
The dog's temper immediately came up, "Hey, you're blind, aren't you?" Do you recognize the dragon robe? Do you know that this is the emperor! ”
The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
But there are also boldness, "We didn't receive an order from the Ministry of War, even if the emperor came." ”
It can be seen that Tang Wenyuan's rights have been hollowed out to a certain extent.
Tang Wenyuan frowned slightly, "Today, I want to go to the Yulinwei camp to arrest the criminal Zhou Tong, dare to have anyone who obstructs it, kill!" Not! Pardon! With that, he turned his back.
Without saying a word, Night Rose drew her sword and sealed her throat with a sword, stabbing the guard who had just spoken to death in an instant. What do they do? Killing machines are good. How can you live if you despise the imperial power so much?
The other guards were immediately frightened and gave way.
"Where's Zhou Tong's room?" Tang Wenyuan asked.
Someone pointed to him, Tang Wenyuan made a color, and the dog and the dog went in and escorted Zhou Tong out.
At this time, more than 2,000 soldiers of Yu Linwei all surrounded him. Tang Wenyuan's people stood in the middle, holding Zhou Tong. No matter how strong you Yu Linwei is, you are still a little scared in the face of the emperor. Besides, there are more than 300 brocade guards here.
Although the current Jinyiwei has declined a lot, the previous legends about Jinyiwei's various viciousness are still lingering.
Zhou Tong looked confused at this time, kneeling on the ground, "Your Majesty, what did I do?" ”
"Throw it in and say." Tang Wenyuan brought Zhou Tong into the room and let the dog and the dog rest loosen the ties for him.
Zhou Tong snorted coldly, "Your Majesty came here late at night, what is the matter?" ”
Tang Wenyuan asked the dog to retreat, leaving only himself and Zhou Tong in the room.
"Zhou Tong, do you think I'm a fool?"
"What does Your Majesty mean? I don't understand. ”
"You said that if the news between you and Su Guifei spread, what will happen to you? Especially after being known by Prime Minister Zuo. ”
The moment Tang Wenyuan said this, Zhou Tong was dumbfounded, and fell to his knees with a thud, "Humble duty...... The sin deserves death, please ask Your Majesty for mercy. ”
Tang Wenyuan nodded, "Get up, I won't say anything about the reputation of the harem about this matter." But you can avoid this capital crime, and you can't escape the living crime. Do you want to live? ”
"Yes." A fool doesn't want to live, Zhou Tong knows very well in his heart that after this matter is known to Prime Minister Zuo, he doesn't need the emperor's order at all, Prime Minister Zuo can punish him for the nine clans.
"You can't be a commander anymore, are you willing to be an ordinary guard?"
"Willing, willing, as long as Your Majesty doesn't kill me, I'm willing to do whatever I want."
"This has to be a crime from a commander to an ordinary guard, right? Wait a while, you confess your crime in front of Yu Linwei, and I will belittle you. ”
"I don't really understand what Your Majesty means, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear."
"Why are you so stupid, that is, if you commit some kind of corruption, bribery or other small crimes, you have to give me a step down."
Zhou Tong suddenly realized, "I understand my humble position." ”
"Besides, how many cronies do you have in this Yu Lin Wei?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there are more than thirty people."
"Write it down for me."
"Good, good." Zhou Tong only cares about being able to survive now, where to think about other things. This is the standard embodiment of being a thief, he doesn't want to think that Tang Wenyuan didn't say any evidence, just one sentence scared him half to death.
After a stick of incense, Zhou Tong knelt in front of everyone and confessed the various crimes he had committed. As Tang Wenyuan said, the charges he fabricated for himself were all crimes that did not lead to capital crimes.
Tang Wenyuan looked at the list in his hand, and called them one by one, so that all Zhou Tong's cronies stood up.
"Commander Zhou, do all these people have a share?"
Zhou Tong nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, all of them." ”
At this time, the hearts of the entire Yu Linwei people were cold, and the people who stood up were all officials, and they followed their boss to bend the law for bribes?
And Zhou communicated Tang Wenyuan's words, as long as he did what Tang Wenyuan said, Tang Wenyuan would let him live.
"Come on, take off their weapons and armor, and tie them up." Tang Wenyuan commanded.
Jin Yiwei began to move.
Some soldiers still looked arrogant, so Zhou Tong hurriedly acted, "What is the arrogance, if you make a mistake, you should admit punishment." As he spoke, he gave a hard look.
These are Zhou Tong's cronies, and they have no idea what is going on. Some of the charges Zhou Tong listed for himself were some and some were not, but they understood Zhou Tong's eyes, so they no longer dwelled on them.
After tying up these people, Tang Wenyuan returned to the room with Night Rose.
"Xiao Ye, let's cut off all the people who were tied up." He didn't want to see that kind of bloody scene. As Hua Liang said, when you are an emperor, you can't have the kindness of a woman. If Tang Wenyuan's methods are not ruthless, he may be killed one day.
"Commanded by humility." Night Rose didn't have any waves in her heart, she had killed many people, and she had seen too many of these scenes. What did Tang Wenyuan say to Zhou Tong that made Zhou Tong so obediently confess.
I saw the Night Rose come out of the room, and the moonlight shone on her silver mask, making her look particularly cold.
"Your Majesty has an order, Zhou Tong and others are corrupt and pervert the law, disrupt the dynasty, and make a decision!"
Zhou Tong sighed in his heart, "Emperor ......"
Before the word "Shang" was shouted, he was already dying. If you were an ordinary executioner, you might not be so crisp. But it's Jinyiwei who can do it, all of them are ruthless, and they have received orders, who is still talking nonsense with you.
Tang Wenyuan only walked out of the room after the venue was cleaned up, and the smell of blood was still in the air.
Tang Wenyuan frowned, and said: "All the soldiers of Yulinwei obey the order, from now on, Yulinwei will be abolished, and the original Yulinwei soldiers will be merged into Jinyiwei, which will be commanded by Night Rose. I know that some of you have made mistakes before, but I am not to blame for entering the Jinyi Guard. ”
Once the army has no backbone, it will basically become a plate of scattered sand, not to mention that all the officials of Yu Linwei have basically been killed, and the rest are ordinary soldiers. They had no choice but to kneel down one after another, shouting "Long live the emperor, long live, long live" to accept this incorporation.
SP: Three more will be sent, and there will be one more at night.
