Chapter 14 The Shoshu of the Military Department was blown up
The cow flew into the sky!
Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, was also blown up into the sky.
When Liu Daxia fell, he was already like a corpse of five horses, and only half of his body was left on the ground.
The main hall gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War was also blown down.
Even the bluestone slabs that carried the entire street were shattered quite a bit.
When the dust cleared, there was nothing but blood and mutilated cattle and people, and there was no end to the wailing.
The military department is located in the east palace on the right side of the left gate of Chang'an outside the Chengtian Gate, and the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Qintianjian, the Honglu Temple, the Luanyi Library and other yamen in charge of the Bell and Drum Division are all in the same place.
Therefore, when Liu Daxia was killed, it also alarmed the people of the military department and other departments.
Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, happened to have not left the ministry, and when he saw this scene when he heard the explosion, he was also very shocked, and after taking a look, he only returned to the yamen of the ministry, and muttered: "The first emperor is benevolent, and His Majesty's wrist seems to be a lot tougher!" ”
Because Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, mentioned Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao, who was in the leopard room at this time, couldn't help yawning, and as soon as he yawned, he saw Liu Jin running in:
"Emperor, Liu Daxia has been blown up! Now the whole capital is in a stir, and the cabinet and the celebrant have rushed over, and they are estimated to be coming to report to you soon. ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded, Liu Daxia's death can not only prevent the continued abandonment of the Ming Dynasty's armaments, reduce the chance of the people in the border towns being poisoned by the Tartars, but also an important step for him to control the government.
Because of Liu Daxia's death, the position of the military department secretary was to be re-promoted, and the court officials such as the military department were recommended by the officials in the Ming Dynasty, and then pushed by the cabinet Jiuqing, and finally decided by his own emperor.
Now the secretary of the ministry is Ma Wensheng, which means that the newly recommended secretary of the military department cannot be Liu Jian and other party members, after all, Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian and others do not deal with each other.
As long as the secretary of the military department is not a member of Liu Jian and other cabinet scholars, the cabinet will not be able to control military power.
Because the right to transfer troops of the 12 regiments and battalions of the armed forces in the capital is in the hands of the Ministry of War, and the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Five Cities to maintain law and order is also in the hands of the Ministry of War.
Zhu Houzhao believed that the killing of Liu Daxia would be equivalent to cutting off one of the arms of Liu Jian and other cabinet scholars, and that Ma Wensheng and other foreign court officials would be more confident to fight against the cabinet, which would naturally be more beneficial to himself, the emperor.
At this time, Wang Yue, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, really ran over: "Emperor! The slave maid had just been reported, and there was an explosion in the main hall of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and Da Sima happened to appear at that time and was blown up! ”
"What! Liu Aiqing was blown up, how is he! ”
Zhu Houzhao asked pretending to be surprised.
Wang Yue, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant eunuch, looked a little gloomy, sighed slightly regretfully, and then replied: "It's already dead!" ”
"My Liu Aiqing! Ordered to go down, because of Liu Qing's death, I was overwhelmed with grief and dropped out of the day! ”
Zhu Hou sat on the chair, squeezed a few tears very sadly, and cried with his sleeves covering his face as he did in the past.
"Your Majesty's condolences! The military department is an important place in the imperial court, the military department is also an important minister of the imperial court, and the great Sima is the elder of the four dynasties. ”
Wang Yue, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant and saw Zhu Houzhao hiding his face and crying, was also quite moved in his heart, thinking that the new emperor was still sympathetic to the old ministers, so he couldn't help but look at Liu Jin behind Zhu Houzhao.
"Check! Be sure to check it carefully! Let the Jinyi guard give me a careful investigation, the dignified military department Shangshu was killed like this, where is the majesty of the imperial court! ”
Zhu Houzhao slapped the table very indignantly and shouted.
"Please rest assured, the slave will definitely be able to find out who did it!"
After the eunuch Wang Yue said, he glanced at Liu Jin again, and then retired to Zhu Houzhao.
At this time.
Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, also learned that Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was killed, and his eyebrows were raised in surprise for a while, his lips were bitten very tightly, and the pen in his hand was frozen in the air: "Have you checked the soldiers and horses of the five cities, is there any news from Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the dignified Shangshu of the military department was killed on the spot!" Who is so mad! ”
"Who else can there be, Ma Wensheng's old puppet who usually disagrees with Liu Daxia, and the Yamen of his Ministry of Officials and Household Department who work in the same door as the Ministry of War, can only bring explosives into the important places of the imperial court, and he Ma Wensheng is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and it is naturally not a problem to do something in the Yamen of the Ministry of War!"
Li Dongyang, deputy assistant to the cabinet, said with a smile.
"Not only that, Liu Daxia has been coveting Ma Wensheng's position as the secretary of the ministry, Ma Wensheng blowing him up will not only get rid of a threat but also expand his own power, after Liu Daxia was killed, the secretary of the military department must be re-elected, he Ma Wensheng is the secretary of the ministry, and it is not up to him to decide who to choose as the secretary of the military department!"
Xie Qian also said angrily, and the tea cup in his hand fell directly to the ground: "This Ma Wensheng, I can't imagine that he is so ruthless!" ”
"It's not Ma Wensheng who did it, the old man doesn't think that he Ma Wensheng has such means, this kind of shameless behavior for Shilin, he Ma Wensheng can't do it, the only thing that can do it is the inner court, the emperor is naturally impossible, he is a hairy boy, it is impossible to have such a calculation, Wang Yue and they have always been like us, the only possible thing is Liu Jin, a eunuch!"
Liu Jian waved his hand.
"What Shoufu said is extremely true, it is not ordinary people who can go to the important place of the Ministry of War, and the Luan Yi Treasury managed by him Liu Jin is on the side of the Ministry of War, but it is good for Ma Wensheng to do this, do you think Liu Jin has already colluded with Ma Wensheng!"
As soon as Li Dongyang said this, Liu Jian and Xie Qian's expressions became solemn, and Liu Jian slapped the table in an emotional gaffe on the spot: "What does he Ma Wensheng want to do!" ”
Liu Jian can only pat the table, but he can't do anything with Ma Wensheng and Liu Jin now, after all, they are just speculation, and there is no real evidence to prove that Ma Wensheng and Liu Jin did it.
Jinyiwei really didn't find anything, and they didn't understand what kind of explosives could have such great power, and the explosives that could have such great power must be not small, but the explosives with a small volume would naturally be discovered by the soldiers if they were transported to the military department, and the big people had this possibility, but they didn't dare to check it, and the current Jin Yiwei was not as majestic as before.
Therefore, the case of Liu Daxia being killed by the bombing has become an unsolved case.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, who are members of the Cabinet University, can only admit that they are at a loss.
The selection of a new secretary of the military department was put on the agenda.
Although Ma Wensheng, the old general of the three cabinets of the cabinet, hated the itchy teeth, there have been a lot more officials who have visited Ma Wensheng recently, and even many people who are dissatisfied with Liu Jian and other cabinet ministers have voted under Ma Wensheng, and these officials can see that as soon as Liu Daxia dies, the power of Liu Jian and other parties will be greatly damaged, and Ma Wensheng's power will naturally rise, and they will unite around Ma Wensheng one after another.
The high-ranking officials who hope to go further and become the secretary of the Ministry of War are also more attentive to Ma Wensheng, and they all look forward to Ma Wensheng taking care of themselves.
