"Your Highness, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asks for a meeting!"

Not long after Zhu Zhangui sent his father and mother away, the guards reported that Ji Gang had arrived.

Glancing at the dusk sky outside, Zhu Zhangui was a little surprised:

"This old Ji is very efficient! It's not dark yet, and the people are done. ”

Ji Gang arrived at this time, obviously the matter had been done.

In less than two hours, Ji Gang completed what he had explained, no wonder he made so many mistakes, and the old man was reluctant to kill him.

With this ability to do things, unless they are brain-dead or forced to be helpless, most emperors are really reluctant to throw this good knife.

"Jinyi Wei commands Ji Gang, see His Royal Highness Taisun."

As soon as Ji Gang came in, he hurriedly bowed and worshipped.

"Hehe, Uncle Ji doesn't need to be polite, we are almost a family, and it will be a bit of an outward appearance if we do this again."

Zhu Zhangui called it like this, Ji Gang didn't dare to take it, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The king is the king, the minister is the minister, His Royal Highness is called so, the minister can't afford it, and I hope His Royal Highness won't torture the minister so much in the future." ”

Zhu Zhangui smiled and nodded.

Just pull the relationship appropriately, and if there are too many times, it will make the subordinates float.

"How? How many have you caught? ”

The two sat down, and after the servants served tea, Zhu Zhangui took a sip of tea and asked absently.

Ji Gang hurriedly stood up and reported: "This time, all the Jinyi guards were dispatched, and a total of 113 assassins were arrested, and 1,568 people were suspected of being related to Jianwen Yu, and the highest level was a five-grade official. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Gang looked left and right and whispered: "Although there are some above it, I didn't catch it, for fear of causing trouble to His Royal Highness the Taisun." ”

Zhu Zhangui bowed slightly in satisfaction.

"Where's my brother and sister?"

"That Miss Sun Ruowei, Your Majesty ordered the ministers to have no choice but to let her go, except for a few who were captured alive, most of the others were executed on the spot in the resistance."

After speaking, Ji Gang smiled slightly and pointed to his head.

"According to the report of his subordinates just now, the girl surnamed Sun seems to have gone wrong here because of the killing of her adoptive father and friend, and she is already a little crazy at this time."

Zhu Zhangui chuckled, "Hehe, are you crazy?" I don't think so! ”

The hand tapped on the table, "Give me the list of those people above, and I'll go back and ask the old man's opinion." ”

Then Zhu Zhangui thought of something again, and asked Ji Gang: "How did you check those insects in the military department?" If you find out, hand it over together, and let them go on the road together, so that they can have a companion on the road. ”

Hearing Zhu Zhangui ask about the Ministry of War, Ji Gang's face was a little embarrassed.

Noticing Ji Gang's expression, Zhu Zhangui frowned.

"What? Haven't you found a few little bugs? ”

Ji Gang hurriedly shook his head.

"Your Majesty has found out, but these people are in some trouble."

As he spoke, Ji Gang put a small notebook in Zhu Zhangui's hand.

Zhu Zhangui was a little curious, what kind of person is he? Even Ji Gang felt a little spicy.

Reaching out to open the small book, the first name immediately attracted Zhu Zhangui's attention.

"Han King Zhu Gaoxu!"

Looking at this name, Zhu Zhangui suddenly realized.

No wonder during the Zhu Di period, some people dared to drink the blood of soldiers, and the feeling was that there was their second uncle, who was in front of him.

Then the name below, Zhu Zhangui, who looked at it, frowned.

There are many names, and Zhu Zhangui is very familiar with them.

The vast majority of these people are heroes of the martyrdom, and some of them are not heroes, and they are also inextricably linked to these heroes of the martyrdom.

Either who's son-in-law, or who's nephew.

"Your Highness, these people are not moving!"

Looking at Zhu Zhangui, who was frowning, Ji Gang said helplessly: "Actually, Your Majesty knows about these people reaching out to the army, but Your Majesty can't move!" ”

"These are the main generals of the imperial court, once they are taken down, it is equivalent to cutting the flesh and blood of the imperial court itself!"

"Take them all down, the young generals behind can't take over, once the court is going to fight, there is not even a person to command the soldiers and horses."

"So after so many years, as long as these people are not too excessive and do not affect the combat effectiveness of the army, Your Majesty has also acquiesced."

"Actually, Wei Chen suggested, Your Highness, you had better pretend not to know about these things, after all, you need to fight for these people the most now, once this matter comes out, it will be to push them to King Zhao of Han."

After speaking, Ji Gang leaned down and bowed.

"Your Highness, for the sake of your great cause, Weichen begs you to seal this matter, and when you grasp the great treasure in the future, it will not be too late to take it out and settle it."

Flipping through the pages of the list, Zhu Zhangui fell silent.

To be honest, these people are really hard to move.

Let's not mention that the Northern Expedition is urgent, and these people are urgently needed to get on the horse and fight.

Even in peacetime, moving these people can make the army of the imperial court break their muscles and bones.

The role of the generals of the ancient armies was very large.

A brave general and a soldier led by a fool are completely two different natures.

Although cleaning the moths can keep the army clean, the consequences are likely to cause the army's combat effectiveness to plummet, or even fall directly from the elite army to the waste army.

At that time, a certain Dalin, because the purge was too fierce, caused the dilemma of the outbreak of war, and he found that there was no one to use under him.

In the early days, the generals of the Ming Dynasty went through two purges by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and changed from a talent pool to a withering talent.

In the period of the Ming God of War, this guy who should have been stuffed back into the furnace and rebuilt threw out all the last bit of inventory, so that the powerful military strength of the Ming Dynasty plummeted directly and fell to the bottom.

Thinking of all the historical materials in later generations, Zhu Zhangui pinched his eyebrows with a headache and waved his hand at Ji Gang.

"These materials are temporarily sealed by Jinyiwei, and those Jianwen remnants don't need to be kept, these days are good days, send them on the road!"

"Remember, you have to get the approval of the Criminal Department, otherwise you will be annoyed to death by those imperial historians."

Seeing that Zhu Zhangui accepted his suggestion, Ji Gang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Weichen takes the order!"

Seeing Ji Gang leave, Zhu Zhangui sat on the chair and was silent for a long time, reached out and picked up the small notebook, and leaned on the lamp next to him.

Looking at the list that was slowly engulfed in flames, Zhu Zhangui muttered in his mouth.

"As a monarch, you must not act according to your preferences, but you must put the overall situation first, the country first, and the people first. A clean official has the use of a clean official, and a corrupt official has the use of a corrupt official. ”

"As an emperor, you can't expect all officials to be honest and honest, you must put useful people in useful positions, and you can't admit evil because you are greedy, and you can't regard them as loyal because they are clean."

"Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, you need to have a complete range of flavors, and master the balance of them in order to cook a peerless delicacy."

"The way of the emperor is the way of employing people."

"With the right person, a pig can create a brilliant and prosperous world, with the wrong person, even if there are millions of strong soldiers and hundreds of millions of family properties, they will be wiped out."

He said something to himself, Zhu Zhangui, who didn't know whether to comfort himself or find a reason not to kill these people.

Raised his hand and threw the burning notebook to the ground, stepped on it with one kick, and strode out the door.

"Come on, go back to the East Palace!"
