Chapter 0049 - The City Is Full of Chicks
Kyoshi's chickens are starting to break the dawn, oh! Oh! Oh!
With a burst of neat footsteps, the entire capital instantly fell into a panic, and the people of every household stretched out their heads, only to see that the streets at the door were full of uniformed officials, who wanted to come out to see what was going on, but they were all drunk back by the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses!
"Stay in the house, the emperor has a decree! Ten days of martial law in Beijing! If anyone needs to buy food, they will come to tell us, we will deliver it to your door, according to the usual official price, without adding silver, the officials have also listened well, no need to go to the court, no need to be on duty, they are all honest at home! These are the will of the Holy Lord, and anyone who dares to leave the house without permission will be killed! ”
When the common people saw that the soldiers were drawing knives in their hands, they dared to be verbose, and they were so frightened that they closed the doors of their homes and did not dare to move around at will, even children cried, and adults covered their children's mouths and did not dare to make loud noises.
"My lord, you are an important minister of the court and an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, what do you say this is for?" Qian Longxi's housekeeper reported the situation on the street to Qian Longxi.
Qian Longxi shook his head in distraction and rubbed his sore temples, "I don't know, hurry up, hurry up and burn all the letters and documents, as long as they are words!" ”
The task of clearing the east of the city was personally led by a brigade commander of the Royal Forest Army, because there were two big people living in this range! Wei Zhongxian's two nephews! Wei Liangqing has the highest status, and he is the Duke of Ningguo and the Taishi. Another nephew, Wei Liangdong, was named Dong'an Hou and added the crown prince!
Zhu Youzhen didn't want to come out to see, with such a powerful Jinyi Guard and the Royal Forest Army jointly enforcing the law, the force is absolutely sufficient, but curiosity, plus a little uneasy, although he has rich experience in politics, but like this, as an emperor, he personally participates in such a big political change! For Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, it is also the first groove of the flat body! What will be the consequences, what will happen to the experience, he has no bottom in his heart!
Wang Chengen also wanted to prevent the emperor from personally participating, but the "nephew" insisted on going, and he had no way to stop him, and he also thought that the force was enough, there was no danger, and the emperor would go if he wanted to!
Although Zhu Youzhen is surrounded by two brothers, Gao Dewei and Gao Demeng, Zhu Youzhen now regards the two of them as half of the errand helpers, and the martial arts of the two people are really not good, since the two of them were beaten away by Man Gui with one move that day, he is quite underestimated by the two people, he knows martial arts, but he is not good at using martial arts, and he is usually not keen on doing this kind of thing in person! Zhu Youzhen is not timid, but he is afraid of death, which is where he is full of contradictions. Following the team, and they are all led by a group of experienced Jinyi guards, specific things, it is not his turn to participate, and he does not need to participate directly, he only wants to be a spectator, and he only wants to see with his own eyes Wei Liangqing and Wei Liangdong, the two clansmen who are most loyal to him and closest to him in Wei Zhongxian's hands, how to subjugate the law.
Wei Liangqing and Wei Liangdong's mansions are next to each other, and there are small doors that lead to each other, and you can meet in the inner house.
"Big brother, what should I do? The streets are full of servants, and we are all outside, you say, are you coming for us? A few days ago, I said that while there was a war outside the Beijing Division, I took advantage of the chaos to rob the old man and rushed out together! It's too late now! Wei Liangdong frowned, a man in his forties, his face full of anxiety.
Wei Liangqing's face was fair-skinned, and he was usually pampered, although he was in his fifties, he looked like he was only in his early forties, and he slapped the table heavily, "What did I say you were yelling about?" Can you hold your breath? Rob, where do you grab it? Outside the old man's mansion are the Imperial Forest Army, are you the opponent of the emperor's newly incorporated field iron cavalry? ”
Wei Liangdong sighed, "So what do you say now?" There is such a big commotion, it is clear that it is coming for us! You can't sit back and die! At the beginning, he persuaded the old man to do it, but he didn't do it, but now he has let King Xin sit firmly! Finally, it's our turn to eat the bitter fruit! No, I'm going to have to go back and gather my men and fight them! I'm never going to get caught like that! ”
Wei Liangqing paced back and forth, not knowing what to do, "I advise you not to do this, what is the effect of your momentary anger, the courage of the horseman?" If it's really for us, it's better to put on a good posture, you look at what the emperor has done these days, he doesn't look like a person who will favor one side, if the old man's power is really eradicated like this, he should have done it a long time ago, and he shouldn't have done it when such a Jiannu was still raging outside the city, right? According to my estimate, I think the emperor is worried that we will take advantage of the time when Jiannu is attacking the city, and take the opportunity to cooperate with the outside world! Don't worry about us! Anyway, let's fight hard to find death, so we simply give in and let the emperor know that the people of my Wei family are still loyal to the emperor and loyal to the Ming Dynasty! ”
Wei Liangdong walked in front of Wei Liangqing with two steps, "Then what if he is determined to take our lives, so he will be so soft?" ”
Wei Liangqing frowned and said, "Do what you say, there is death or life, do what I say, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, you can choose for yourself!" ”
Wei Liangdong wiped his tears, "Brother, I'm afraid, it's better to come here to farm at home!" ”
Wei Liangqing slapped him on the shoulder, "Don't cry!" Unproductive things, farming, farming, can you get more than 30 concubines? Farming, farming, can you live in this mansion that is more magnificent than the palace? Now say this, it's not a shame, let the next people see it, Lao Tzu doesn't want to stand with you! ”
Wei Liangdong didn't cry, but he couldn't stop crying, he covered his face with his hands, squatted on the ground, and couldn't cry! Wei Liangqing had to persuade this cousin who was strong on the outside and capable in the middle.
"Open the door!" Several Imperial Forest soldiers rushed to the gate of the Wei family and knocked on the door.
The door creaked open, Zhu Youzhen was startled, a large courtyard was full of people kneeling, Wei Liangqing and Wei Liangdong knelt at the front.
The Jinyi Wei Qian, who was in charge of the arrest, coughed, these are their former masters, "Master Hou, uncle, the emperor has an order to carry out double regulations on you and seal the Wei family's mansion, you can go with us." ”
Wei Liangqing said respectfully, "Weichen obeys the order, my Wei family is the emperor's person in life and death, the emperor wants to check us, we have nothing to say, you all listen to it, you must not move at will, you must listen to the arrangements of the military masters, the emperor let us live when we are born, and die when we die, even if we hold a knife to our necks, we are not allowed to say that the emperor is not a word!" If my uncle and I are gone, we will cooperate with the military masters to give out all the property in the palace to the emperor. ”
Zhu Youzhen sweats, this is too dogleggy, is it really not bloody at all, China's high-ranking officials are so virtuous? What about the fish that is said to be dead?
Jian Xunlou turned the horse's head, and Gao Demeng asked curiously, "My lord, don't you follow them?" ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at the sky, and the sky was a little autumnal, "Don't look at it, it's all like catching chickens, what's so good?" Let's go back to the town. ”
The comings and goings of Lord Xunlou, of course, no one dares to care, although it is a seven-grade small flag, but now there is no one who does not know that his relationship with Wang Chengen is extraordinary, and he comes and goes freely.
What Zhu Youzhen is thinking about now is, since there will be no resistance to arresting the officials in the city, shouldn't he think about it, can Sun Yunhe get Wei Zhongxian's big secret faction system from these two hillbilly Hou Bo? In a blink of an effort, he denied this idea of his own, because he remembered that Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun had analyzed that it was almost impossible to get Wei Zhongxian to hand over this big secret sect system, these clansmen were so soft, Wei Zhongxian couldn't be unclear, and he would definitely not tell them such a secret thing!
Thinking that the matter of getting the secret sect system and Wei Zhongxian's huge property was not settled, Zhu Youzhen was a little interested, and when he was about to arrive at the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, he lost the idea of going in. found Wang Chengen, he called Wang Chengen to a side room, and whispered to him that when the Jinyi guards were arrested, Sun Yunhe would preside over the trial, and then control these people, and slowly see if they can be used by me, and if they can't be used, they will all be killed!
Wang Chengen nodded and agreed, and said softly, "Then, what will this Sun Yunhe do when the time comes?" Wang Chengen wanted to ask the emperor this question for a long time.
Zhu Youzhen said softly, "After this Jingcha plan is over, I will treat him again!" "I made a shuanggui move.
Wang Chengen sighed, in fact, he had already thought that the emperor was going to do this! Just don't get a clear answer, there is no bottom in my heart! Zhu Youzhen explained to Wang Chengen how to leave 6,500 people.
Wang Chengen Great Khan, is there such an assessment of officials? Historically, unheard of! "Your Majesty, raid the house first, and kill those with particularly rich property, which is understandable, and then, depending on the number of reports, the officials of the same level who have been reported more times will be killed first? Leave a thousand people per level? In the end, 6,500 people were screened out of those who remained, and only 500 officials above the third grade were left? The royal relatives are treated equally? ”
Wang Chengen must repeat, this matter is too heavy! Just listening to it, he was already covered in sweat, and he had been in a state of extreme excitement since last night.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "The clans also treat everyone equally, and there are a lot of dismissals and raids, but don't kill them at will!" Unified to the Ouchi, you put what you think is tricky, and what I need to personally adjudicate the end, all of them are locked up in the Ouchi, and you will sit in charge of the Zhenfu Division in the past few days, and I will let Yang Siqing assist you when I go back, Daban, you have worked hard. ”
Wang Chengen nodded haggardly, doing this kind of thing is the most tiring! "Your Majesty, you pay attention to rest, the old slave is still holding on, these things are too important, especially the reorganization of Jinyiwei, this step is too critical! The old slave thinks that he is worried about the emperor, but it's a pity that he can't get Wei Zhongxian's big secret sect system! ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, "Don't say it, I'm back to the palace, don't leave the Zhenfu Division for a moment, this is the command center, if there is anything, just hand over the book!" I will come in person as a Jian Xun Lou. ”
