Chapter 141: This Autumn Is Not Peaceful
Autumn is coming.
As the weather cools down, there are fewer people buying ice food in front of the four shops in the city.
However, in the court, these days have been very difficult.
Because a few days ago, the emperor's grandson was in charge of the country for the first time, and the emperor suddenly issued an order to arrest hundreds of officials in the court, and now Jinyi Weizhao Prison is already overcrowded.
Everyone was waiting to see what the Emperor would do with these people in the end.
However, what I waited for was the news that a certain courtier was suddenly arrested and put in Jinyi Weizhao Prison every day.
Some were in the yamen, and they were dealing with affairs, and they were taken away by the brocade guards who came to the door.
Some were drinking and eating at home, and before they could eat enough, they were taken away.
There were even a few courtiers, when they heard that they were contributing to the population of the Ming Dynasty at home, they were taken away by the brocade guards who kicked open the door of the house.
I don't know if the population of the Ming Dynasty will drop sharply because of this.
Under such circumstances, everyone in the DPRK and China is in danger of being taken away.
Before the matter was decided, everyone was worried, and they didn't feel how cool this early autumn was, but it was even hotter.
The prince's physical condition is still unknown to outsiders.
The emperor is still sick, and every court meeting in the court is presided over by the imperial grandson.
There are even faint rumors in the market that the emperor and the crown prince have become seriously ill to the point of no return.
And the court is arresting people every day, just because these people are secretly trying to find misdeeds.
It's just that in such a panic, the generals are extremely happy.
got together on time every day, talking about yesterday, and the blind civil official was caught in Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison.
So much so that during this period of time, the Jinyi guard often appeared at the door, and he would go the wrong way to the founding meritorious service and the general in the army.
The generals are watching the excitement, but they are also happy and sad.
Liangguo Mansion.
It has been closed for the past few days.
Entering the mansion, it is rare to see the scenes of Liangguo Gong Lanyu's righteous sons and pro-soldiers practicing and fighting in the past.
Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, who has been punished with a full hundred rods, has been depressed recently.
Today, as a few days ago, I moved a chair and sat on the edge of the empty martial arts arena.
There is a cup of herbal tea beside him, which is somewhat in line with this early autumn.
Lan Chun walked over from the front and saw his father sitting on the chair with a lonely face, looking at the dazzling weapon rack with a dull gaze.
He sighed and walked to Lan Yu's side: "Father, the Marquis of Jingchuan asked people to ask, do you want to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." ”
The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Jinyi Guard Yamen are on the same street, and several yamen are open to each other.
Lan Yu's eyes were a little dazed, and he turned his head and said, "I'm alone now, what are I going to do in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" ”
The nephew of the emperor's grandson beat himself!
Beat yourself a hundred boards in front of so many courtiers!
Now that Chang Sen has taken on the matter of the forbidden army's personal guards, the Chang family is prosperous again. On the side of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, many people's minds are probably also moving.
Lan Yu only felt that everyone had benefited from the imperial grandson's imprisonment, and only he had become the one who was left out.
Lan Chun's face stiffened, and he said in a low voice, "Father, didn't my son tell you. This is the first time that the imperial grandson has been in power, and His Majesty can trust you, so he used you to make a show to deter the courtiers. ”
"Na Yun...... The imperial grandson doesn't have to send all my righteous sons and personal soldiers to the frontier! Lan Yu shouted dissatisfiedly.
Lan Chun hurriedly looked around, and then whispered, "Father, you are the tip of the horns." Think about it, now that the imperial grandson is in charge of the country, if the righteous brothers are the same as in the past...... ...... old days"
He wanted to say that those people who were accepted as righteous sons by Lan Yu had always relied on the name of the Duke of Liang Guo in the past to cause trouble in the city.
At that time, because of the blue jade, His Majesty never punished him.
But now that the emperor's grandson has also begun to supervise the country, if the Lan family no longer understands the rules, how will the courtiers see it? Will the imperial grandson only be able to punish the Lan family more severely?
Seeing that Lan Yu still couldn't lift his energy.
Lan Chun's eyes rolled, and he whispered: "Father, the righteous brothers went to Kaipingwei, have you forgotten?" Kaipingwei is just north of Beiping City......"
"Peking ......"
Peiping!
Lan Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his head to look at Lan Chun excitedly.
He grabbed Lan Chun's arm: "Is that really the case?" ”
Lan Chun nodded, not daring to say more.
Lan Yu regained his former vigor little by little, and kept chanting the word Beiping in his mouth.
In the past, he often spoke beside the prince, claiming that Yan Wangdi had the heart of rebellion, but the prince, as the elder brother, could be said to have watched Yan Wang grow up, as the eldest brother, he didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't bear to kill each other, so he repeatedly refuted his advice.
Lan Yu admitted that when he went north in the past, he had many disagreements with King Yan, but he also saw King Yan's ambitions, and he was worried that there would be things that should not happen in the dynasty.
Now, after such a reminder from Lan Chun.
It dawned on him.
Lan Yu said excitedly: "In this way, the imperial grandson and a certain are the general views? ”
Lan Chun nodded: "The prince doesn't want to think like this, but the prince is always so kind and treats his younger brothers like siblings." But the imperial grandson probably thinks differently, after all...... The one on the north side has a heavy army in his hands. ”
As he spoke, Lan Chun looked at his father, who was becoming more and more excited, and couldn't help but have other worries in his heart.
had to say again: "It's just that this is all my son's speculation." After all, the imperial grandson is now seeing how heroic he is, and he has been in charge of the court for just a few days, but he is becoming more and more proficient. The military generals of the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty are even more capable and outstanding, and if there is great righteousness in the future, it is unlikely that anything will happen. ”
"Humph!" Lan Yu snorted coldly: "It's still the imperial grandson who dares to act." Ben Shuai has finally woken up now, the imperial grandson is laid out in advance, and someone is placed behind him, as long as he dares to make a move in the future, he can take it directly! ”
For a while, Lan Yu reverted to the unruly and mighty general of the dynasty in the past, and he couldn't wait to be assigned to Nakaipingwei.
Lan Chun could only laugh dryly on the side when he saw his father like this.
……
It is different from the scene inside the Liangguo Mansion.
In the Right Army Governor's Mansion, probably because the Right Army Governor's Mansion is directly facing the door of the Jinyi Guard Yamen.
These days, there are always a lot of people gathering in the Governor's Mansion every day.
Below is a military general in the army who made a founding meritorious service like Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen and was born in Huaiyou.
Cao Zhen and the others looked outside the Governor's Mansion from time to time, looking at the Jinyi Guard Yamen on the opposite side to see if they continued to arrest people today.
There was a lot of anticipation on his face.
Only the founding prince Chang Sheng, who was sitting above, had a very flat face.
He always felt that something big was going to happen in the imperial court, and these days Jinyi Guard was arresting people in batches, could he really keep these people in Zhao Prison for a lifetime?
You must know that these days, the officers and soldiers of the forbidden army involved in the Xuanwumen Revolution have been connected by the three clans, and their heads have fallen to the ground outside Yingtian City.
If you count the palace attendants who were given to death in the East Palace, plus the heads of the Zhou family of Jiangxia Hou over there in the central capital, you can count it carefully.
In just a few days, thousands of heads have landed.
So, can the head of the person in the brocade guard yamen still be kept?
Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen waited for a long time, and did not wait for Jinyiwei to arrest people today, and finally sighed in disappointment, patted the armrest and fell back to his seat.
"Why don't you arrest people today!"
He sighed and shouted in pity.
Chang Sheng coughed lightly, and under the gaze of everyone, this prince, who has always been generous and generous, finally showed a rare look of dissatisfaction.
This sudden change made Cao Zhen and the others quickly rein in their minds, and they all sat up straight in their seats, holding their hands high, not daring to be frivolous.
Chang Sheng glanced at the people present, and warned in words: "Eventful! Eventful period! Do you really think that if Jinyiwei takes people all day long, you will be able to be peaceful and peaceful, and you will be able to sit back and relax? ”
The people did not dare to speak.
However, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen pursed his lips and felt a little disapproving.
Chang Sheng glared: "Marquis Jingchuan!" You should pray that these people who have been brought into the brocade guard will come out alive! Otherwise, so many civil officials in the court have died, do you think that the butts of a few people here are really clean, and there is no problem at all! ”
Cao Zhen thought for a while and said, "I didn't do anything yet, why did Your Majesty ask for the guilt?" ”
Chang Sheng snorted twice: "I'm just reminding you that if there is a problem, you'd better go to Your Majesty and ask for your guilt." ”
Cao Zhen was still a little unimpressed.
Chang Sheng looked at everyone, and saw that most of these people were like this, and his heart became more and more helpless.
I had to speak: "I remind you, last night, there was a will in the palace to send it." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately attracted the attention of Cao Zhen and others.
Chang Sheng snorted and said: "It was sent to the central capital and the frontier, Your Majesty intends to let Tang Li, the young son of the Duke of Xinguo, return to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and take charge of the forbidden army with Chang Sen. ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces finally moved slightly.
Xinguo Gong had five sons-in-law, the eldest, the third, and the fourth either died in battle or died young. The second talent is not obvious, and now he is serving in the army in Taiyuan.
Only this old and young soup liquor is the most capable, and it has a lot of soup and style.
A few years ago, he was still in Beijing and served in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, but in the past few years, he has been commanding troops in the border areas.
Now he has recalled, returned to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and is going to be in charge of the forbidden army with Chang Sen.
The implications are self-explanatory.
The emperor wants to balance the military power of Yingtian and prevent the Chang family from being dominant.
Although in the past, Xinguo Gong led the army as a deputy general, but he couldn't stand the people who are still alive in the court today, Tang He can be regarded as a rare founding veteran.
The Chang family is now the maternal uncle's family of the emperor's grandson, and it is understandable to be the leader of the Ying Tiancheng army.
And Tang Li's entry into Beijing was combined with the marriage of the imperial grandson to the Tang family......
The old man of the emperor had long thought of today, and he would use the Tang family to balance the Chang family, so as not to let the emperor grandson be the only relatives of the Chang family.
Good calculation!
Silently, everyone present sighed in their hearts.
At the same time, he also understood Changsheng's previous warning.
These people, all these years, have followed the Duke of Liangguo, and they can be regarded as the generals of the Kaiping Wang's family.
And with Tang Li's entry into Beijing, the Xinguo Gong family in the army, as well as those generals who have no support, will inevitably involuntarily approach the past.
Then, if they provoke again at this time, maybe the old man of the emperor will suppress them in order to support the Tang family.
For a moment, the governor's mansion fell silent.
Chang Sheng snorted twice, glanced at everyone, and then said: "Divide it all up, if there is someone in the family who is unruly, send it to the official mansion as soon as possible."
Over the years, you people seem to have a lot of fields in the local area, and you should clear them out.
Don't forget that a few years ago, Your Majesty used the power of thunder to cleanse me of the strength and iron blood of my Huaiyou's meritorious deeds. ”
As he said this, Cao Zhen and the others couldn't help but tremble, and they had already begun to think about it, and they wanted to hurry home and send someone to check if there was someone in the family who was relying on themselves and oppressing the people in the local area.
But Chang Sheng still didn't finish speaking, and continued: "There is one more thing, I heard that the imperial grandson has a suggestion to set up armies in addition to the guards of the five armies and the guards of the Shangzhi Forbidden Army.
It is called the New Army, and it trains a new battle formation. The scale will not be too large, but this also shows that the imperial grandson does not want to see only us in the army. ”
At this point, Chang Sheng finally finished speaking and took a sip of tea.
Cao Zhen and the others were speechless, and they didn't look at the arrest of the Jinyi guards at the other door.
A few people even got up directly, facing Chang Sheng and clenching their fists.
"Grandpa, I'll leave first."
"Grandpa, a certain general remembers that there is something going on at home, so he will go back."
Chang Sheng nodded and agreed, regardless of whether there were skipping work among these people.
He took a sip of tea gently, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
remembered a letter I received from the palace last night, the emperor's grandson.
There are only two words on the letter.
Exploit!
