Chapter 229: Soldiers Make Trouble
August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival of another year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Reunion Festival, but the Li family in the capital is destined to be unable to reunite in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
Li Xiuwen has been in prison for more than half a month, and there is still no sign of his release. Near the Li family's mansion, there are people sent by the imperial court to monitor them.
Yang Yuxuan once thought about visiting, but no matter how much money she paid, she couldn't dredge up the relationship, so she asked him to visit her husband in Dongchang Prison. It's just that I can't visit, and there is no news from the East Factory. Thinking of the factory guards' methods of dealing with the prisoners, several women were worried.
Luo Yangxing can go in to visit, but at this time, it is better to avoid suspicion as much as possible. Otherwise, Li Xiuwen has not been released yet, and Zhu Youzhen has arrested him as well.
But no matter how you say it, he is also the admiral of Jinyiwei, and it is possible to ask people to inquire about the news. But the news he got was that Li Xiuwen had been severely punished, and his injuries did not seem to be light.
How dare you tell your sister Luo Yanran such news?
In this way, it is better to pretend that you don't know. Hide it for as long as you can.
Since Li Xiuwen was imprisoned, Luo Yanran has blamed herself in her heart. All day, in addition to going to my brother's side to inquire about the news, when I came back, I locked myself in my room, not daring to face Yang Yuxuan and others.
Although Li Xiuwen has already said that this matter has nothing to do with her, she still can't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Yang Yuxuan persuaded herself, and asked others to come and comfort her, but it was useless.
Yang Yuxuan was worried that she would do something stupid, so she specially asked her subordinates to pay attention to it, and once she found something abnormal, she would immediately come over to report it.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone in the Li family had no intention of admiring the moon.

――――
The three waves of people sent by Zhu Youzhen were chaotic in Kaifeng Mansion, and they were stunned that there was no sign of rebellion in Zhou Wangfu. The Li family in Kaifeng did not find any evidence of rebellion.
When Cheng Liangjun arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, the pioneers had already secretly investigated, but they didn't find anything. He pretended to make a round, but in the end he didn't get any useful news.
The news of Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Cheng Liangjun were sent to the capital respectively, and Zhu Youzhen was a little embarrassed.
The news sent back by everyone was that no evidence was found, which shows that Li Xiuwen did not plot rebellion.
The confessions made by Han Lin and Sun Mingwen were just that Li Xiuwen was involved in business and made some money, and he was not even charged with corruption and bribery.
So far, after tossing for more than half a month, did you really let Li Xiuwen go like this?
Just when Zhu Youzhen was hesitating, Cao Huachun came in from outside the door and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, something is wrong!" ”
Zhu Youzhen frowned and said, "Why are you so panicked? ”
Cao Huachun ran to the front, bowed down and said, "Just now there was news from Nanyuan, the military salary of the Shenji Battalion has been delayed for several days and has not been paid, and the soldiers are very dissatisfied with it, and they have ...... Someone is already making trouble in the barracks! ”
"What ?!!"
Zhu Youzhen stood up and said angrily: "Why didn't the military salary be paid on time, what did the household department do?!! ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he himself was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the current military salary of the Shenji Battalion is really not under the management of the household department, but Li Xiuwen.
Zhu Youzhen himself felt a little blushing, seeing that this matter was neat, he arrested Li Xiuwen, but forgot about the military affairs of the Shenji Battalion.
In order to hide his embarrassment, he continued to ask: "What is the situation now, why didn't the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion report this matter?" ”
"This ......"
Cao Huachun hesitated and replied, "Zhang Luoyan and He Kuan have temporarily controlled the situation, and there should be no mutiny at present. As for the report......"
Speaking of this, Cao Huachun glanced at him cautiously before continuing: "In the past, the three major battalions of the Beijing Division did not pay their salaries on time every month, and the deputy general of the Shenshu battalion also reported it, so that you can ...... Let you be demoted. ”
Only then did Zhu Youzhen remember that there had indeed been such an incident the year before last. The tax revenue could not come up, and the imperial court used troops abroad, and the household department did delay the military salary of the soldiers and horses in Beijing for more than half a month.
Jingying is not bad, this is going to change the border army, I don't know how many months it will be delayed.
Thinking about it carefully, this Li Xiuwen really has two hits, the Shenji Battalion is in his hands, and he has never bothered himself, and the military salaries are paid on time.
In this way, he paid his military salaries on time, but he spoiled those soldiers?
Fortunately, the situation has calmed down for the time being, otherwise it would have been a troublesome matter. Thinking of what his daughter said, Zhu Youzhen felt that he seemed to be really wrong.
It is just enough to order the arrest of people because of suspicion and suspicion, and now it is not possible to find evidence, but in order to save his face, he will severely punish Li Xiuwen.
After thinking about it, this Shenji camp made trouble, maybe someone was upset about Li Xiuwen.
This is not a good thing, Li Xiuwen has only been the commander of the Shenji Battalion for half a year, which is a little prestigious. Once he had a bad heart, more than 10,000 people listened to his orders......
Although there are 100,000 horses in the Beijing camp and more than 10,000 people in the Shenji camp, it is not enough to threaten the safety of the palace, but it is also a hidden danger.
But if Li Xiuwen is taken away from the military power and his position as the commander of the Shenji Battalion is removed, then the military salary of the Shenji Battalion will have to be paid by himself.
You have taken away all your positions, and you still expect people to continue to be responsible for the military salary of the Shenji Battalion?
There are more than 10,000 people, and the monthly military salaries are also quite large. Since Li Xiuwen is responsible for it, why should he take it to himself?
Give Li Xiuwen military power and is afraid that something will happen, if he doesn't give him military power, he will have to spend his own money to recuperate, Zhu Youzhen is entangled in his heart.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Youzhen ordered: "Big companion, I order you to go to the Shenji Camp and stabilize them for me." As for the military pay, it will be paid in the next two days. ”
"Yes."
After Cao Huachun went down, Zhu Youzhen wrote an edict with a pen, summoning a eunuch to Dongchang to deliver a decree and let Wang Zhixin release Li Xiuwen.
The content of the holy decree is nothing more than Zhu Youzhen's exoneration of responsibility and a warning to Li Xiuwen.
Someone accused me that Li Xiuwen was suspected of plotting rebellion, and in order to find out the facts, I asked people to arrest you first and conduct a strict investigation. Now that I can't find any evidence of your rebellion, don't be too happy, I also know what you did, so I can do it myself.
No way, the emperor is always such a scoundrel, he can't easily admit that he knows that he is wrong.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen has already promulgated the "Edict of Guilt" twice. Although it is a shame to agree, it is also to admit your mistakes to the people of the world, not to you, a courtier, and the nature is different.
Li Xiuwen had people check for more than half a month, and was finally released home in the form of a one-year fine.
Who let you make money in business, do you still care about the little money that the court sent you? (To be continued.) )
