Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, everyone turned their heads to look at Puding Marquis Chen Huan and the others. Chen Huan was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Yun Xi, and understood what he was going to do today.

I see, it turns out that His Majesty has long been fully aware of what we have done, and has always remembered it, but he has not forbeared. Until the defeat of Samarkand, there will be no more major wars in the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty finally has no worries and does not have to worry about turmoil, so at this time, we will remove those who are in the way. ’

And if Your Majesty wants to carry out reforms, it will inevitably arouse the opposition of many generals. If it is not as I expected, most of the generals above and below the Ming Dynasty do not support it. Get rid of us and show the monkeys the chickens, so that the reforms can be carried out smoothly. ’

Your Majesty should have expected that the announcement of such a great change today would provoke our opposition. Although we did not dare to speak out against it ourselves, we did not have time to do anything; But our cronies must have understood that we did not want to be so eager for reform, and they would speak out and advise. ’

'Your Majesty seized the opportunity to send them to prison on charges of corruption, which we cannot plead for, and cut us off our arms; After that, he asked the imperial historian named Chen Ying to expose the corruption case, thus implicating us people. Greed for merit has always been hated in the army, Your Majesty only needs to spread this matter widely in the army, even if our cronies and generals are very dissatisfied, but the middle and low-level generals without factions will definitely hate us very much, plus Xu Huizu and others' cronies and generals, it is enough to make the army not turbulent. ’

As for Mei Yin and Zhao Yin, it should have been arranged by His Majesty before, and Zhao Yin will take all the blame on him, and Mei Yin will only take the responsibility of negligence, so that he can continue to appoint him. ’

Chen Huan's guess was right, and Yun Xi's plan was like this. Yun Xi can't say everything about Chen Huan and other generals before and after the Battle of Annam and before the Battle of Yiwu against the Xu family and other generals, but he also knows eight or nine.

Yun Xi is extremely disgusted with this kind of thing: the civilian officials are eyeing the military generals and want to use the military to control the military, but the military generals are not united, and they are still killing each other. Especially at that time, when the enemy was in power, Chen Huan and others used Yun Xi's mentality of seeking stability to attack others, which made him even more unhappy. Now that the enemy is gone, he can finally deal with them freely. It is just right to deter other generals who oppose the reform and make them dare not speak.

Yun Xi and Chen Huan glanced at each other, then looked away, and said, "Zhao Qian, do you dare to guarantee that what you said is not false?" It is a felony to frame the court's humerus! ”

"The minister is not a lie!" Zhao Yi knocked his head a few times in a row: "Your Majesty, the minister is definitely not a heavy minister who frames the humerus of the imperial court!" ”

"In this case, Cao Tai, Sang Jing, Zhang Quan, wait for a while, and the three of you will cooperate with the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the case. Don't worry, if it is found out that this matter has nothing to do with you, but Zhao Xian is innocently framed, I will never wronged you, and I will never let Zhao Xian go! ”

Yun Xi's words were high-sounding, and he was very polite to them, and allowed them to continue to go to court here, instead of being arrested as prisoners immediately; But Cao Tai and the three of them are not stupid, they did help Zhang Yi embezzle the work of others, no one can check anything, as long as it is verified, how can there be a reason that cannot be found? They didn't open the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. They will be condemned eventually. As for how to deal with it, it depends on what Yun Xi thinks in his heart.

Zhang Quan's eyes rolled, he understood what Yun Xi meant, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, at this time, it is indeed the minister who committed this case in a moment of confusion. ”

When the documents were sent from the Ministry of War to the minister, the minister felt that something was wrong, and was about to go to the Ministry of War to ask Mei Yin about it, Zhang Yi approached the minister's public house and asked the minister to sign and approve the document. Because of his friendship with Zhang Yi, the minister agreed with a soft heart. Ask Your Majesty to forgive the sins of your ministers, and ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins. ”

He suddenly pointed at Cao Tai and Sang Jing and said, "Your Majesty, in addition to the minister, that document has also passed through the hands of Cao Tai and Sang Jing, and the minister also knows that Zhang Yi has also found the two of them. ”

Cao Tai and Sang Jing were dumbfounded, and were about to say something, but Yun Xi had already spoken: "Since Zhang Quan, you have confessed your guilt, come and escort him down with Zhang Yi and Zhao Yi." After that, he turned to Cao Tai and Sang Jing: "The evidence is not standing, so Zhao Meng pointed out that the three of you did not take it seriously; But now that Zhang Quan has pleaded guilty, I can only treat the two Aiqing as the same criminals. Then he shouted, "Escort them both down!" ”

Cao Tai and Sang Jing had also figured things out at this time and were about to speak, but General Dahan had already come over, removed their crowns, and wanted to escort them down. They did not dare to resist, and were escorted down before they could speak. Zhang Yi and Zhao Yi were also escorted down.

"Chen Qing ,......," Yun Xi said to Chen Huan and the others: "Although Zhao Yi testified against several Aiqing violating the law of the country, I have never listened to and believed partially, and I will not convict several Aiqing on this basis, nor will I deprive several Aiqing of their errands. But after all, this matter has a lot to stake, so I hope that several Aiqing can cooperate with the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the case. It's not that I suspect a few Aiqing, it's just that since Zhao Li mentioned you, according to the "Da Ming Law", you must investigate clearly. And after the case is investigated, a few Aiqing can still be innocent, so a few Aiqing must not contradict. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Although their bodies were trembling, Chen Huan and the others still replied.

Chen Huan had an impulse to confess his guilt in front of more than a thousand civil and military officials at the scene, and then said Yun Xi's plan, which ruined his good deeds. But in the end, I held back. If he did that, he would be really happy for a while, but the emperor would definitely not let his whole family go later. He also wanted to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, begging for forgiveness, just like Zhang Quan, who was a suitable talent; But he himself is one of the targets that Yun Xi has to deal with this time, and Zhang Quan is not, so even if he kneels and begs for mercy, it is useless; Didn't you see that Cao Tai and Sang Jing wanted to beg for mercy but were stopped by General Dahan?

When Zhang Quan was interrogated, he would have told me many of my faults in order to reduce his guilt, and I was either exiled to the border or executed. I've enjoyed half my life's wealth, and I don't have any regrets, as long as my family can survive. ’

'It's just that the emperor abolished so many generals at once, isn't he afraid that the remaining factions will be too powerful? He thought.

"Mei Qing." Yun Xi naturally didn't know what Chen Huan was thinking, and said to Mei Yin: "Although this case has nothing to do with Aiqing, Aiqing doesn't know anything about this matter, and she is also guilty of negligence. I command you to reflect on yourself tomorrow in the house for a day as a punishment. The general affairs of the military department were temporarily managed by Zuo Shilang. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mei Yin saluted and said.
