Chapter 120: Revoke the Jinyi Guard
Inside the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang is having a headache about what happened today.
He couldn't understand why so much had happened in one month.
First, the crown prince Zhu Biao fell ill, and then the royal garden tragedy occurred in order for the kings to compete for the throne.
He lost six sons in one fell swoop.
And there is also a crown prince and five vassal kings.
This even made Zhu Yuanzhang begin to doubt his statecraft.
But before they met that night, the news of Zhu Di's death came.
Zhu Yuanzhang fainted directly after hearing this.
It almost turned the entire palace upside down.
The Imperial Physician lined up and walked into the dormitory.
After working for most of the night, Zhu Yuanzhang was finally rescued.
"Oh, God, why are you doing this to me? Is this revenge on me? ”
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, he began to feel pain.
The queen took more than a dozen concubines to persuade her, and it was not until dawn that Zhu Yuanzhang fell asleep.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Zhu Yuanzhang woke up leisurely.
He blasted all the eunuchs out, and finally on the morning of the third day, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the palace in disheveled clothes.
His first sentence was: "Spread my message, and Jiang Zhen entered the palace in the command room of Xuanjin Yiwei." ”
Soon, Jiang Xuan, who didn't know why, entered Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom.
He also got the news about the death of Zhu Di, the king of Jin, although he was a little surprised, but he didn't feel anything.
After all, Zhu Di committed a heinous crime, and it was cheap for him to die like this, and it was Jinyiwei who made the move, no matter what aspect it was, he didn't think it was too much.
It's just that he also received the news that Zhu Yuanzhang was sick, but he only felt that the emperor lost four princes in one day.
He even felt that the emperor had summoned him to the palace this time to reward him.
"Wechen knocks to see the emperor." Jiang Zhen knelt on the ground and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang has already sorted out his clothes and returned to his former demeanor, but an indescribable haggard and sad color can still be clearly seen between his eyebrows.
Hearing Jiang Xuan's voice, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes.
"Jiang Xuan, I came to you this time because I have something to inform you in advance."
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was very weak, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Jiang Xuan's heart sank, and a bad premonition suddenly rose.
"Weichen is terrified, the emperor commands."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "I have decided to revoke the Jinyi Guard. ”
"W-yes!"
Jiang Xuan raised his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang in shock, and then immediately lowered his head again.
He made all kinds of expectations for this trip, but he just didn't guess that Zhu Yuanzhang would revoke Jinyiwei.
"You go back and get ready, all the personnel of the Jinyi Guard are incorporated into the Royal Forest Army, and relevant matters can be negotiated with the Ministry of War, go down."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he didn't wait for Jiang Xuan's reaction, and directly asked the eunuch to send him out of the palace.
Jiang Zhen left the palace in a daze and came to the Jinyi Guard's station.
It's like a dream, and he never understands what the hell is going on, obviously Jin Yiwei turned the tide in the imperial garden coup, why did the emperor suddenly revoke Jin Yiwei?
Of course, he didn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's approach.
Jin Yiwei's practice of abusing lynching in recent years has often been impeached by hundreds of officials, because they can directly lynch civil and military officials without going through the household department and the official department, and there have been many unjust, false and wrongful cases.
But because Jinyiwei is an organization subordinate to the emperor, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't nod, no matter how many twists and turns there are, it will not help.
However, Zhu Di's death this time finally made Zhu Yuanzhang make up his mind and decided to revoke Jinyiwei.
Jinyi Wei can even use the death penalty to execute a prince, what else do they dare not do?
Of course, at the same time, it was also because of the superposition of the death of the four princes in the Imperial Garden Mutiny.
And this matter was also something that the Egret Pavilion of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households did not expect.
When Jiang Xuan told them about this in the hall, they were all shocked.
Among them, the Egret Pavilion was the most surprised.
Not only because the powerful Jinyiwei was really removed by the emperor, but also because one of the reasons why he felt angry was that he was probably deceived by the acting king.
According to the secret letter of the little prince, Bailuting can not only become the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, but also shock the hundred officials.
And now it seems that the Egret Pavilion has fallen into a big trap.
Not only did he not become the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, but he even lost his job.
But even so, he didn't dare to explain the matter to Jiang Xuan.
Otherwise, not to mention whether Jiang Zhen will let him go, I'm afraid that the emperor will pick his skin lightly.
……
It was not until three days later that the bloody storm in Nanjing reached Datong Mansion through several carrier pigeons.
At this time, Zhu Guicai introduced some of his inventions to Liu Jing, and also took him to travel to the entire Datong Mansion and the four cities and seven counties under his rule.
Only a few cities on the steppe have not been visited.
When Zhu Gui saw the message on the carrier pigeon, although the expression on his face was silent, a trace of light flashed in his eyes.
He immediately gave up his original plan to take Liu Jing to the guard, and instead turned around and rode towards the palace of the king.
"Liu Qing, something big has happened, and go back to the palace first, and this king will send someone to invite General Xu to come to the palace for a while."
Liu Jing naturally doesn't have any opinions.
After a stick of incense, Xu Yingxu, who got the news, came to the palace of the acting king, and was then taken to the meeting hall in the backyard by the king's housekeeper.
Only people from inside the palace are allowed to enter this place.
And when Xu Yingxu pushed the door in, there were already four people sitting inside.
Zhu Gui sat on the main seat, Xu Miaoqing sat next to him, Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun sat on Xu Miaoqing's side, and Liu Jing sat on Zhu Gui's side.
"I've seen the acting king, the acting princess, the princess Yan, and Mr. Liu." Xu Yingxu saluted the four of them one by one, and everyone returned the salute.
"General Xu is here, you can take a look at this first." Zhu Gui took the lead in saying to Xu Yingxu.
Xu Yingxu took the letterhead handed over by Zhu Gui, and his face became more and more solemn as he read it.
"I didn't expect such a big event to happen in the palace." Xu Yingxu said.
"Yes, five vassal kings died at once, I'm afraid the emperor will die of sadness, and the son of the prince, Zhu Yunwen, who is only twelve years old, has become the successor prince, which is really unexpected."
Zhu Gui said as he looked at Liu Jing who was muttering on the side.
Liu Jing said with a wry smile: "King Jin is really too bold, he actually wanted to emulate Tang Taizong, but he didn't expect to die in the death penalty of Jinyiwei, and even Jinyiwei was revoked by the emperor, all of this is really surprising." ”
Liu Jing's words made everyone in the council hall fall into deep thought, especially Princess Yan's face Xu Miaoyun's face was the most solemn.
