Chapter 101: Soldier to Soldier
The news that Xu Miaoqing got was sent by Xu Guogong himself, and even he would not have guessed that the battle between Zhu Gui and Jinyiwei was getting hotter and hotter.
As for the holy decree, don't even think about it, I'm afraid there won't be anything until the matter is investigated within Jinyiwei.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't realize that Jinyiwei would have follow-up actions.
In other words, due to the lag of the news and the absence of a holy decree, I am afraid that Datong Mansion will be shrouded in the dark clouds of Jinyiwei in a short period of time.
As for how to investigate within Jinyiwei and how long the investigation will take, Zhu Gui doesn't have any expectations.
It's just that as long as you know that Jinyiwei's actions were not ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, this is already the most beneficial thing for Zhu Gui.
He no longer has to worry about the ripple effect.
And he has to take the initiative to fight to let the Jinyi Guard fall in his hands.
Of course, this 'downfall' does not mean that he wants to destroy Jinyiwei, but to make Zhu Yuanzhang abolish the Jinyiwei organization as in history.
And this time is just the beginning, and it is far from the extent that Zhu Yuanzhang has lost trust in Jinyiwei.
So Zhu Gui has to take action, he doesn't want to become a stepping stone to abolish Jinyiwei.
Fortunately, Xu Yingxu's actions were very fast, and on the same day, thousands of people who rebelled on behalf of the king were caught one after another.
But even if the prison in Datong Mansion was under construction, it couldn't hold so many people, so Xu Yingxu had to detain them all in a military camp in the guard.
This action also completely shocked those who still had a fluke mentality, they originally held the idea of not holding the law accountable, coupled with the support of Jinyiwei, they dared to be so presumptuous.
Now even the garrison of the Datong Mansion Guard Station is on the side of the acting king and has begun to arrest people on a large scale, and many people have begun to run away overnight.
Follow-up interrogations have also begun.
The screams of ghosts and wolves were often heard around the garrison, which made people's hearts palpitate.
The last list was placed in front of Zhu Gui.
Zhang Mao explained: "Lord Wang, there are many local gentry families here, it seems that they have a deep misunderstanding of the prince." ”
"Hmph, don't shy away from anything, this king doesn't regret what he has done, if he chooses again, this king will still get rid of these tumors, and now since they are in the same stream with Jinyiwei, then it's no wonder to me, General Xu, I have to bother you this time."
Zhu Gui said solemnly.
Xu Yingxu didn't say anything, and took someone to arrest someone again.
This time the movement is not small, except for a few who have run away in advance, the others have been escorted to the Acting King's Mansion.
After some interrogation, the Jinyi guards who contacted them, as well as the method and location of the connection, were also asked.
Zhu Gui personally led the team to raid Jinyiwei's stronghold in Datong Mansion this time.
Although the dozen or so Jinyi guards here had already received the news, because Cui Baihu was arrested, they fell into a situation where they had no command, and they didn't believe that the acting king dared to touch them, after all, the Jinyi Wei represented the imperial power.
But the result was very disappointing to them, Zhu Gui not only did it, but even used the Hongyi cannon.
After the house was blown down by a cannon, the pro-soldiers rushed in with the government soldiers and escorted out a few brocade guards who were lucky not to die.
Zhu Gui didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and directly ordered everyone to escort them all away.
These people can't be killed yet, they are the evidence of Zheng Jinyiwei's crime.
Then the palace issued a notice on behalf of the king, explaining some of the things that happened during this period, and putting the blame on Jinyiwei.
This made the people in Datong Mansion a little shocked.
In their thoughts, Jinyiwei represents the emperor, and now the acting king actually says that Jinyiwei bends the law for personal gain and falsely preaches the holy decree, and many people don't know who to believe for a while.
Even Zhang Mao and Xu Yingxu felt that Zhu Gui was a little inappropriate in doing this.
Even they already knew the news from Nanjing.
"Lord Wang, if you do this, you are declaring war on Jinyiwei, they may take the opportunity to retaliate, even if there is pressure from the emperor, they can also use other means."
Xu Yingxu said seriously.
Zhu Gui snorted coldly and said, "This king is afraid that they won't dare." ”
That's right, Zhu Gui just wants to provoke Jinyiwei, so that they can make bigger mistakes.
Only in this way can these guys be prevented from using more insidious means to plot against him in the dark.
……
A general named Bailuting of Jinyiwei came to Datong Mansion to investigate this 'misunderstanding' between Jinyiwei and the acting king.
He himself didn't have much opinion on this matter, even if the emperor was angry, it would not affect his career, and he had no intention of climbing up again.
What's more, the notoriety of the acting king in Nanjing City is also thunderous, if he is really killed by Jinyiwei, he may be happier.
For Bailu Pavilion, the death of a prince is completely worth the deterrent effect brought by the execution of hundreds of corrupt officials.
What's more, the emperor handed over the right to investigate the matter to Jinyiwei, obviously favoring Jinyiwei.
This has formed a consensus within Jinyiwei, and only Jiang Xuan, who is under pressure, does not think so, after all, if there is no investigation result, he is likely to become a scapegoat in the end.
Therefore, it took four days for the Egret Pavilion to come to Datong Mansion, and it was only three days before the deadline for the task given to them by Jiang Xuan.
Bailu Pavilion originally wanted to start with the acting king and investigate what powerful enemies he had, and then whether these enemies had any connection with the people inside Jinyiwei.
But when he came to Datong Mansion and heard what the acting king had done in the past few days, his face suddenly became ugly.
The Jinyi Guards in the entire Shanxi have withered, and there are not many left, and the rest are either dead or have been arrested in the Acting King's Mansion.
This is a loss that Jinyiwei has never had since its establishment, isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor?
Even if the acting king is really framed, you will be almost like a rebellion when you do such a thing.
Egret Pavilion thinks so.
However, although he was angry, he was not stupid, and did not go directly to the Daiwang Mansion to find Zhu Gui to settle accounts, but went to the state capital outside Yunzhou, where in the name of Jinyiwei, after transferring an army, he rushed to Datong Mansion.
When Zhu Gui received the news, he confirmed it several times.
A brocade guard general actually brought an army to a vassal king's territory to investigate the matter?
The unthinkable things in the world seem to have come together.
However, this time he did not alarm Xu Yingxu, but only took the soldiers of the Acting Wangfu to meet the Ming army.
The two sides soon met at the border of Yunzhou.
Zhu Gui's government soldiers carried a banner with the word 'generation', while the opposite side carried the banner of the Ming army.
