Chapter 13: Raiding the House

By September, the weather is already much cooler, and the sky is crisp, which is the most comfortable time of the year.

At the very least, the soldiers of the Xiyuan Praetorian Guard, those noble children, feel much more comfortable.

It's not so hot anymore, so you don't have to worry about getting dizzy when standing in a military position. I don't feel so tired anymore, I won't be tired after a morning of practice, and at the end of training, many people still have the energy to play, which was impossible before.

The number of beatings is also reduced, and many people do not even get beaten for a day. The vast majority of people stand in a military posture for an hour without moving, and they also walk neatly and uniformly in marching training, looking sideways and sideways like a line. Judging from the neatness of the array alone, it definitely exceeds most of the armies in the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Youzhen came to Xiyuan and saw this situation, he was very satisfied.

To be able to train these lawless noble disciples into this, Xu Xianchun can be said to have worked hard.

In fact, these people were scared by Xu Xianchun. Although their father is a prince and an uncle, he is completely useless in Xu Xianchun's eyes. Over the years, there has been more than one high-ranking official who has died in the hands of Xu Xianchun, how can he take care of these nobles who have no real power?

"Meet Your Majesty."

Under the leadership of Xu Xianchun, all the noble children lined up in a neat line and saluted Zhu Youzhen.

"Very well, I'm happy with how you're doing now, you're finally looking like you now." Zhu Youzhen said loudly, "From now on, the training is suspended, and I need you to do something important for me!" ”

The nobles' faces became excited, and many of them showed eagerness on their faces. Finally, there is no need for this boring and painful training!

"Just now, in the early morning, I have ordered the Jinyi guard to arrest Wei Zhongxian, and you will be responsible for confiscating Wei Zhongxian's family property!" Zhu Youzhen continued.

A group of Xungui's children were suddenly a little surprised, these days they were locked up in the West Garden for training, and they couldn't get in touch with the outside world at all. They all know how powerful Wei Zhongxian is, even if he is the first person among the nobles, the British Gongzhang Zhiji does not dare to confront Wei Zhongxian head-on, and when he sees Wei Zhongxian, he has to politely call the factory duke. Unexpectedly, in less than a month, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, would fall like this!

"This raid is coordinated and assigned by Xu Xianchun, and the specific raid is your responsibility, Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu soldiers are at your disposal, and all the gold and silver wealth confiscated will be registered in the register and escorted to the inner treasury.

I have only one requirement for you, to be honest and honest in the process of confiscation, not to enrich your own pockets, and to strictly supervise your soldiers!

There will be brocade guards watching you, and I will send the imperial historian to check the accounts.

Whoever goes wrong, even if the prince directly cancels the identity of the prince, not the prince cancels his official status and demotes him to a commoner, and then your family will compensate you according to 20 times the amount of silver you embezzled, as for you, stay in Xiyuan for the rest of your life to practice. Zhu Youzhen said sternly.

Many people's expressions changed suddenly, and when they first heard that they were in charge of raiding their homes, some people really had some thoughts.

As we all know, since ancient times, copying the house is fat, and if you put some in your arms and change it in the account book, it is a lot of money. Generally speaking, at least half of the money will go into the private pocket of the person in charge of raiding the house.

"Of course, you are all noble sons and heirs to the title, and you are the future prince of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally you will not look down on these money from the family, and naturally you will not disappoint me.

As for those under your command who do things, the emperor does not send hungry soldiers, and everyone will be rewarded when the matter is over. Zhu Youzhen finally said in a gentle tone.

"Xu Xianchun stays, everyone else is disbanded and prepares, waiting for the order to raid the house."

Zhu Youzhen stood in the pavilion and looked at the slightly rippling lake, and Wang Chengen stood behind Zhu Youzhen with the dust in his arms.

Xu Xianchun stood five feet in front of Zhu Youzhen, waiting for the emperor to speak.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Youzhen finally spoke.

"Just before I came to the West Garden, there were a large number of recitals sent to the palace by the Secretary of General Administration and placed on my table.

Most of the hundreds of notes are impeaching Wei Zhongxian and his henchmen, and there are as many as ten of them impeaching you Xu Xianchun! ”

Xu Xianchun's face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down, "The minister is guilty, listen to Your Majesty's fate." ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head: "It's not up to you to decide whether you're guilty or not, and it's not the civil officials outside who have the final say, I have a scale in my heart."

In my eyes, anyone who can share my worries and do practical things for the country is guilty of some mistakes.

On the contrary, those who do nothing but talk and only know how to attack others and seize power and profit are the ministers of the country in my eyes.

Xu Xianchun, in the past, your party attached Wei Zhongxian and did a lot of bastard things. I don't care about you now, after all, you do a lot of things.

Now I need you to listen to me, to do what I tell you to do, you can do it? ”

Xu Xianchun said with a resolute face: "The minister can do it, if the minister fails His Majesty one day, he is willing to be punished by a thousand knives!" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "I hope you can remember what you said today." Now what I need you to do is to confiscate Wei Zhongxian's property.

You used to be Wei Zhongxian's trusted person, and you were Jinyiwei, no one knows Wei Zhongxian's family property better than you.

You will be responsible for this raid, and the specific matters will be handed over to Zhang Shize, and you will be responsible for supervising them.

I want to build Xiyuan to guard the new army, and confiscating this money is the cost of building the army.

Xu Xianchun, you are only the Jinyi Guard's affairs now, I now make you the Jinyi Guard's Tongzhi, if you do a good job in this matter, you will be my next Jinyi Guard's commander! ”

Xu Xianchun was overjoyed: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will never live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "Okay, let's go down and do things." ”

Xu Xianchun kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen and went energetically.

A moment later, under the leadership of Xu Xianchun, a group of noble disciples all dressed in weapons and holding weapons walked out of the West Garden with neat steps.

Xu Xianchun rode on a horse, giving orders as he walked, and the Jinyi Guard Yamen, Shuntian Mansion, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were all mobilized with Xu Xianchun's order.

A large number of brocade-clothed guards began to gather, causing the people on the street to take refuge.

In the West Garden, Zhu Youzhen sat in the gazebo and thought.

With the dispatch of the team of raiders, the plan in his heart can finally be carried out.

It is already the end of September, and in another 10 days, the martial arts of the five northern provinces will gather in Beijing, and then they will select a group of people from the martial arts and recruit the displaced and impoverished people around Beijing to enlist in the army, and first recruit 3,000 people, so that the new army will be put on the shelf.

With the money to raid the house, the cost of raising and training soldiers is enough. According to the method learned from the picture between life and death, imitate the red army for training, maybe it won't take a few months to get an elite army!
