Chapter 182: The Third Fire
At the end of the first ten years of the Ming Dynasty, the Qianqing Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhu Youzhen was looking at a note, and Li Xiuwen stood quietly below.
This note was written by Li Xiuwen, and he investigated some of the situation of the Shenji Battalion. As early as a few years ago, Li Xiuwen sent his cronies from Nanzhen Fusi to infiltrate the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and inquired about one thing - a large number of people are not soldiers of the Shenji Battalion!
In the following time, Li Xiuwen secretly launched an investigation.
It was found that the actual number of generals and colonels in the Shenji Battalion was only 3,428, while the number reported to the military salary report was 6,627.
Where did all the military salaries go?
The answer is self-evident - the generals are greedy for ink!
And the battalion officer is just a fictitious post and does not participate in military affairs. Then the unlucky people are naturally the deputy generals Peng Hai and Qin Muyun.
The Son of Heaven was furious, and the blood flowed and drifted!
Seeing Zhu Youzhen's increasingly ugly face, Li Xiuwen knew that the Shenji Battalion was about to face rectification.
"Bang-"
Zhu started from the inspection case and angrily reprimanded: "How can this be reasonable, how can it be so reasonable!! ”
Li Xiuwen's recital was presented directly, and no one knows the content except for Zhu Youzhen.
Cao Huachun saw that Zhu Youzhen was angry, but he didn't know why, so he could only speak out on the side and say comfortingly: "Your Majesty is angry, don't be angry." ”
"The Divine Machine Battalion, my elite division, is so deceived by me, !! should be killed"
Zhu Youzhen's voice was cold, and he ordered: "Li Xiuwen, I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly." You immediately take my edict, remove Peng Hai and Qin Muyun, the deputy generals of the Shenji Battalion, from their positions, and send them to prison! ”
After a pause, Zhu Youzhen added: "I will order the Beizhen Fusi and others to assist you in handling this case." ”
Li Xiuwen's expression was calm, and he said solemnly: "Minister, obey the order!" ”
Out of the palace, Li Xiuwen didn't stop for a moment, rushed straight to Nanzhen to mobilize people, and then killed the Nanyuan camp.
After Luo Yangxing heard the news in Beizhenfu, he just muttered to himself: "Jinyiwei, you're going to come out!" ”
For a time, the capital rode out in all directions. Seeing the murderous captains in brocade clothes, the people on the street avoided them one after another, and discussed them in private.
"What's going on here?"
"You don't know yet, do you? I heard that the emperor gave an order to let Nanzhen Fu make Master Li arrest corrupt officials. ”
"Really? On weekdays, those officials and old men are powerful, this time I'm afraid they will be in trouble! ”
"Shhh
“......”
Nanyuan, Shenji Battalion.
Peng Hai and Qin Muyun got the news and came out to greet them.
Looking at the menacing Jinyi guards in the distance, they muttered in their hearts, this Li Xiuwen is coming to arrest someone?
Li Xiuwen sat on a horse, surrounded by guards, and slowly entered the gate.
"The last will see you!" The two of them respectfully gave a military salute.
"The two generals don't get up first, this official is here to announce the decree."
Li Xiuwen's words fell, turned over and dismounted, and immediately handed Zhu Youzhen's edict to the side.
The so-called oracle is somewhat different from the holy decree.
In terms of system, the holy decree usually has to go through the cabinet and the six departments before it can take effect. The six branches believe that there is something wrong with the decree and can directly dismiss it. And when the cabinet is powerful and can suppress the imperial power, it can also be sealed and the holy decree can be returned. That is, the cabinet will not obey the order, and ask the emperor to withdraw the order.
The edict was issued directly by the emperor without going through the cabinet. Institutionally speaking, the edict is not recognized by the imperial court, and officials can not accept it.
But the system is the system, and the Ming Dynasty is still ruled by man after all. An emperor like Zhu Youzhen, don't say that the generals in your Beijing camp dare not accept it, even those civil officials don't have the courage to do this.
You don't pick up?
Success, change someone is!
After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, the cabinet could not form the prime minister no matter what.
The Ming Dynasty has always been an absolute monarchy, except for a few weak emperors in the later period. At other times, the cabinet was only qualified to negotiate, and it was not able to confront the emperor at all.
After Li Xiuwen finished reading out the edict, he directly ordered people to take down the two deputy generals, and then ordered people to beat drums and gather generals.
Sure enough, after the entire camp of the Shenji Battalion gathered on the school grounds, Li Xiuwen didn't need to count, and it was obvious that there were many people missing.
Standing on the platform, Li Xiuwen said loudly: "Today, by the will of the Holy Lord, Peng Hai and Qin Muyun, the deputy generals of the Shenji Battalion, have taken advantage of the airspace to occupy the soldiers' tuntian, and have taken them down. I have gathered you here to ask, is there any of you who is willing to report it? ”
"Wow-"
The audience was in an uproar, and there were many discussions in private, and the scene was in turmoil.
Li Xiuwen smiled and said again: "The report is meritorious!" ”
A general from the left camp came out of the ranks, knelt down and said: "Zhang Luoyan, the general of the left sentry battalion of the last general, is willing to report to the adults!" ”
A general from the right camp also came out, and gave a military salute and said: "He Kuan, the general of the right sentry battalion of the last general, is willing to report!" ”
"Whoa-la-"
In the five phalanxes, a large number of generals knelt down one after another, shouting: "We are willing to report to the adults!" ”
The remaining three battalions did not have a kneeling general, and their faces looked very flustered. They are also willing to report, the problem is that they have committed serious crimes with Peng Hai and the others, and if they report it, they will also implicate themselves.
Li Xiuwen knew it in his heart, pointed to the several generals standing there, and ordered Xu Jiang: "Take them down!" ”
Subsequently, with the assistance of two staff officers who were willing to make a report, Li Xiuwen re-registered the officers and men of the Shenji Battalion and counted the actual number of people.
Zhang Luoyan and He Kuan are both good generals. They refused to go along with Peng Hai and others, and they have been excluded and suppressed, and their hearts have long been full of resentment. At this time, the imperial court wanted to conduct a thorough investigation of the Shenji Battalion, and they naturally dug out the bottom of the two deputy generals.
After a short period of contact, Li Xiuwen had a good impression of these two generals. When you turn around, you can recommend Zhu You to the report and let them serve as the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion.
After ascending the throne and making a book, Li Xiuwen checked the armaments again, but found out a bunch of problems.
After a few hours of tossing, Li Xiuwen finally found out the matter clearly. With the confessions of these people and those dilapidated armaments presented to Zhu Youzhen, there is no need to beat those generals into confessions.
Of course, if Xiao Yun is idle and wants to practice the method of extorting confessions by torture, it will have little to do with him. The edict of the Fusi in Beizhen is estimated to be grassy, right?
I, Nanzhen, am only responsible for arresting people and investigating cases, whether you want to execute or not, you Beizhen will take care of it yourself.
After finishing these things, Li Xiuwen rushed back to the palace.
The third fire after Li Xiuwen took office was officially ignited!
This fire is the Divine Machine Battalion.
Now it is only the first step of rectification, and if you want to win the military power, you have to continue to fool Zhu Youzhen.
