Wang Xian really pleaded guilty first.

Not only Wang Xian, but also Wu Tingju, who previously served as the left attendant of the military department and now serves as the secretary of the household department.

Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, Cui Yuan, and Yao Yi also stood up and pleaded guilty.

Jiang Mian is the cabinet minister who leads the major affairs of the Beijing camp, Yao Yi is the assistant director of the Beijing camp Rongzheng, and Cui Yuan represents the five mansions. As for Yang Tinghe...... His younger brother Yang Tingyi is the original right attendant of the military department and the current left attendant of the military department.

After Fei Maozhong was "driven away" by Yang Tinghe, He Ao, a 12-year Jinshi of Zhengde who was newly supplemented as a bachelor in the imperial study, watched this scene nervously.

Although Zhang Bi and Gu Dingchen have been made up by the two seniors, Jingying is the lifeblood of His Majesty's implementation of the new law, and now that such a major event has happened, how will His Majesty deal with it?

"Your Majesty, since this case is in place, it will be easier to handle."

To He Ao's surprise, these people seemed to be just routinely asking for guilt, and then Yang Tinghe said: "If it's just greedy for military salaries, why resist the will and rebel?" The three law divisions strictly investigated, and the officials handled by the military department, the officials, the officials, and the principals were all guilty. Your Majesty, the staff is in charge of the map, the military system, the city god, the suppression, the conciseness, and the affairs of the conquest, which are complicated and the officials are few. If this matter is investigated, it can only serve as a warning. ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Houxi and continued: "In the old system, although the military department is responsible for providing and supporting, the salary is still issued by the commander of the army. It is called the superintendent, but it is really difficult to do, especially the generals of the Beijing camp, most of them are lords, how to supervise the real hair in the five pins? ”

"Your Majesty has a clear order, if anyone stops it, can't the military department play?" Cui Yuan choked dissatisfiedly, "The Military Selection Division is in charge of the selection of military attachés in the world, and Yang Ge Lao's words are suspected of shirking his responsibilities on behalf of the Military Department!" ”

Yang Tinghe Zhengse said: "The minister is not shirking responsibility. The military department selected military attachés, but they could not be selected to the heads of the Beijing camp and the important generals in various places. Your Majesty, if you want to put an end to the corruption of generals, and the ownership is unknown, there is no way to guarantee that the money will be paid to every soldier. ”

Zhu Houxi opened his mouth: "Changing the military system is not an immediate matter. In the case at hand, the focus of the investigation is not whether the system is appropriate or not, but whether the generals and the people involved in the military department have bad intentions. Cui Yuan said it well, if I have a clear will, the generals who dare to stop their affairs, and the civil servants who do not fulfill their new responsibilities, then replace them all and let those who are willing to obey their orders go on. ”

Li Chongsi asked: "Your Majesty, Hui Anbo Zhang Wei has already resisted the decree and disobeyed the decree and led the crowd to rebel, how should the minister handle the case?" ”

There was silence in the imperial study, and they all looked at the emperor.

Do you do it secretly first, or do you publicize it?

Li Xiang's case first led to Hui Anbo and the Zheng family, and now Zhang Wei and others have been brought back by Jinyiwei, is the case handled by Jinyiwei or by the Three Law Divisions?

Does the emperor want to make a public statement, so that the whole world knows that the reason why Zhang Wei has resisted the decree and plotted rebellion is because of the new law?

The way this case was handled determined the direction and pace of things that began this year.

"Dingguo Gong is temporarily in charge of the five military camps, and he has leaked out twenty-seven chaotic soldiers who have not yet been captured, and the matter cannot be hidden, and there is no need to hide it." Zhu Houxi calmed their hearts, and said solemnly, "My decision, Qing and the others should already be clear. Li Xiang's case will continue to be handled in a big way. ”

Everyone was stunned, and after a while, Yang Tinghe hesitated and asked: "Is it ominous for the emperor's concubine to come to the world, and the military disaster and blood disaster?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at him.

Zhu Houxi did not make any waves: "Li Yi, Tang Xianzhong, and Deng Jiye are all meritorious, although Chang Xuanzhen has not yet made meritorious contributions, plus Liu Bowen's descendants, the Ministry of Rites will invite all the five families to reinstate." Passing on my will, the three major battalions selected a total of 50,000 fronts to prepare for battle. Jiajing will be paid a salary for three years, and if there is chaos, if there is a meritorious service, it will be issued again this year. The required silver taels are approved by the Ministry of War, borrowed by the Ministry of Households, and prepared by me. ”

“…… Obey the order! ”

He Ao, like his predecessors, was trembling and thinking about how to write this living note.

is about to open the bow, and if this big case continues, I am afraid it will be no less than several big cases in the Hongwu Dynasty. How many of the honorable relatives, high-ranking officials, and even vassal kings and families will be wiped out after this big case?

"Pass the decree, the emperor's son was born, and this year's Wanshou Festival, the princes and relatives of the feudal lords from all over the country entered Beijing to congratulate." Zhu Houxi commanded again, "It's been three years since I was in the Imperial Palace, and I haven't gathered with my clan relatives and relatives myself. By the way, Yan Shenggong also sent an envoy to pass it on. ”

His birthday festival at the end of September.

In the past three years, the Xinjun Wanshou Festival has not been held in a big way.

This year, His Majesty is also eighteen years old. On Halloween, it is eighteen years old.

It's really worth a big deal.

But in the current situation, it will undoubtedly make many people think complicated.

Between now and September, there is still half a year. In the past six months, there must have been an undercurrent.

The localities are in the process of cleaning up water conservancy, and the Li Xiang case has already been decided to be handled on a major scale, and the new law will decide whether or not to push Jiajing to the whole country five years later this year and next.

Are some vassal kings and relatives willing to enter Beijing in person?

And after the vassal kings and relatives of some places enter Beijing, what will other local forces do?

……

After the birth of the emperor's concubine, there were naturally temporary sacrificial activities in the capital.

When the good news came out, all the relatives and Beijing officials were preparing congratulatory tables.

And just as he was about to ask Zhang Wei, what congratulatory gifts should be prepared in the mansion, the Hui'an Bo Mansion ushered in Jinyiwei.

The flying fish suit runs in, and the knife is pinned to the waist.

There were no superfluous words, Wang Zuo only said: "The family is taken away, and the slaves are locked up." ”

Zhang Wei's son, Zhang Lan, shouted in horror: "What is the crime of my family? ”

Wang Zuo doesn't care so much: "Resist the will and seek rebellion." Search! ”

The same thing happened in several other lords' houses.

The case was presided over by the Three Law Divisions, but the only way to do it to the lords to see if there were some other letters and other evidence at home could only be done by Jinyiwei.

In Xuancheng Bofu, fifty-one-year-old Wei Qian's expression was grim: "Did you hear it right? ”

"How could it be wrong?" His son, Wei Shouzheng, said in a panic, "Hui Anbo, Zhangwu Bo...... A total of seven mansions of the lords were surrounded by Jinyi Guard, saying that they were resisting the decree and plotting rebellion! It was rumored on the street that there was a fire in the southeastern suburbs last night, and 3,000 battalions and 1,000 cavalry were used to quell the rebellion! Hui Anbo and others were escorted into the palace by Commander Luo and others early in the morning, and the criminal department had already arrested people in the city! ”

"Who else are you going to catch?" Wei Qian hurriedly asked.

Before Wei Shouzheng could answer, Wei Qian's butler rushed in to report: "Uncle, there is a holy decree here." ”

Wei Qian didn't dare to be contemptuous, and hurriedly went to answer the order.

After listening to the arrangements for this year's Halloween Festival, Wei Qian's heart was filled with joy: Your Majesty has been on the throne for almost four years, and you finally want to invite Yan Shenggong to enter the Beijing Saint?

But at this time, what was more important was the change in the five military camps, and he continued to ask Wei Shouzheng.

"Officials, prisoners and others from the Zheng clan in Pujiang."

“…… Fast! Go and tell Zhewen not to act rashly! ”

Last night, the emperor's concubine was born, the five military camps mutinied, and today Dasuo Jingcheng.

The head of the Ministry of War was Zheng Xiao, a jinshi in the second year of Jiajing last year.

"After the appointment of the head of the party department last year, the salary of the Beijing camp was issued by you to the superintendent of each battalion." In the lobby of the Criminal Department, Li Chongsi looked at him, "Your Majesty has a clear order, the Beijing camp implements a system of recruiting soldiers, and the salary and silver need to be sent to the soldiers in the camp. Now the soldiers of the battalions are more or less in arrears, what do you say? ”

Zheng Xiao still has an official body, and this matter should not have been punished for his major crime immediately, but now he has been removed from his official uniform and knelt on the ground.

"The lower officials are only six grades, and they are new officials, how can they refute the faces of your lords? The subordinate official is indeed guilty of dereliction of duty, and if there is a punishment, the subordinate official is willing to accept it. Zheng Xiao said sadly and angrily, "The lower officials do know that there are arrears of salaries in the five military camps, but the chief priest needs to be clear, and all the guards and battalions in the world are afraid that there are arrears!" Xia Guan Xi is the head of the Ministry of War, what can he do? ”

Li Chongsi looked at his resume and asked lightly: "You were born in Haiyan County, Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang, and the Pujiang Zheng family of Jinhua Mansion, right?" ”

Zheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then replied solemnly: "There are many Zheng families in Zhejiang, and if you want to talk about the origin, they are all after moving south since the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Haiyan Zheng clan, which was born as a lower official, branched out from the Quzhou Zheng clan, and the Pujiang Zheng clan branched out from the Sui'an Zheng clan. ”

"Last year, when I looked at the Ministry of Politics and Soldiers, Wang Sima was in your examination, and said that you like to read old documents, and you know the strength and weakness of the world and the strength of soldiers and horses." Li Chongsi stared at him, "Zheng Xiao, Your Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, you don't have to do things to supervise the payment of the military salaries in Beijing, and you still use your job to investigate the map and the world's military affairs, what is your intention?" ”

Zheng Xiao seemed to be even more sad and angry: "How can the head of the department not know the military affairs of the world? The chief priest asked the lower officials what they wanted, how to answer the lower officials? ”

"Li Xiangshi is Zhang Wei's son-in-law, and his wife was actually born to Zhang Wei's outer room, and Zhang Wei's outer room is from the Pujiang Zheng family." Li Chongsi looked at him coldly, "Master Zhang Wei, Shen Wenzhou, confessed after being captured, and he has also visited you many times. If it's just for the convenience of paying, then it can really only be said that this is the case, and you have nothing to do. But now Zhang Wei is rebelling because he is greedy for military salaries? Zheng Xiao, if you are willing to say it after suffering hardship, then the official can only serve severely. ”

"The lower officials are wronged!"

Zheng Xiao suddenly shouted.

Whether he is wronged or not, this case has already begun.

In the prison of the Criminal Department, Shen Wenzhou was screaming.

"I ...... I ...... yesterday It's already been recruited...... It's all recruited! ”

In the interval, Shen Wenzhou replied weakly.

"The people you talked nonsense about were all arrested first, and they were being interrogated one by one." A prison officer of the Prison Division sat aside drinking tea, and said leisurely, "You were caught by Jinyiwei last night, and you didn't succeed if you wanted to run, do you think you can fool many people by talking nonsense?" Jin Yiwei can catch you in time, can't you think of how long you have been targeted? That's not what the official wants, yesterday you entered the city and saw the prisoner Kong Zhewen, what did you say? ”

Shen Wenzhou's eyes were frightened.

If you think you're talking nonsense, why did those people arrest them all first?

Is this case being handled so roughly? Are the Emperor and the New Party Crazy? Are you really not afraid of the panic of the people in the world?

Now, he still wants to involve the Kong family......

Last night, the commander of the Fifth Military Battalion, Zhang Wei, resisted the order and plotted rebellion, and the news of a mutiny among the officers and men of the battalion had already spread.

Under such circumstances, it seems understandable that the Son of Heaven was furious and thoroughly investigated the case.

But this kind of large-scale and special posture really makes too many people worry about being implicated in the future.

Two questions lingered in the hearts of many relatives: Where did Zhang Wei get so bold? How can Your Majesty calm his anger?

Now in the Wuying Palace, Zhang Wei and others are kneeling in front of Zhu Houxi.

"Stop talking about all that faithful nonsense." Zhu Houxi looked down at Zhang Wei, "Not to mention the salary you are greedy for, you also obstruct the new law and resist the decree in the name of loyalty to the monarch." Who gave you what kind of promise, 1510 say it. ”

"The ministers are loyal to Your Majesty, the official store has been handed over, and the emperor Ming Ji has also taken the silver out. Why was Your Majesty so harsh on Xun Qi by Yang Ting and those people? Zhang Wei heard that Chrysostom Yuyan had already sentenced him to the crime of treason, and now he was completely in a broken state, "Your Majesty, can't you see that the New Party is messing up the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhu Houxi sighed: "I only asked one last time." If you don't talk about it here, go to the Imperial Prison to try Wang Zuo's methods. If you don't have any other confidence, do you dare to take risks and mutiny? Who has given you assurances and how did they plan? ”

Zhang Wei sneered: "The minister is loyal, His Majesty said that the minister is rebellious." Your Majesty wants to find some reasons to kill some relatives, and kill the ministers! ”

If you can easily ask something, you naturally want to give it a try.

couldn't ask, so Zhu Houxi didn't bother to ask.

After Luo An took them away again, Cui Yuan accompanied Zhu Houxi to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"There will be many lords who will visit you, and this time I will be able to convey my meaning."

“…… Listen. ”

"Xun Qi should be what I tell me to do, do what I want, and obedience is true loyalty." Zhu Houxi said as he walked, "If anyone has ever been contacted, said something, or picked up something, I will only give it a chance, so I will quickly present it." If it is found out, the seizure of the title is only the lightest. ”

Cui Yuan could only answer softly: "The minister remembers." ”

Zhu Houxi walked slowly in front, and Cui Yuan looked at his back.

Zhang Wei said that he was harsh on his relatives, which means that the standard is completely different.

This will also be the most simple conflict in this new law rebellion.

Whether it is a relative or an official gentry, too many people take it for granted that they enjoy preferential treatment in today's order.

Now, the emperor wants to re-establish the rules for the world.

The military generals must pay the amount of food and salary according to the regulations. According to the law, no one should think about escaping.

Is it supposed to be so? Naturally, this is how it should be.

But behind this, there is always that selfish desire.

Under selfish desires, how many people should not be willing to be broken in this way? How can we ensure that this rule can be enforced in the future?

Cui Yuan didn't think that there would be a good way, but he only knew that the emperor was probably on the road of Taizu's strict law.

The Forbidden City is quiet, but a raging battle between the old and the new is about to heat up.

The changes in the capital also began to spread outward, and the plans of many people in the world were forced to change the rhythm again.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan, Gu Shilong's request for sin, and the Marquis of Jing'an, Sun Jiao's request to stay in Huguang temporarily, were in Beijing, and the Tiqi sent by Jinyiwei to Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and the men and horses who went to various places to announce the decree to the vassal kings and relatives left the capital.

From now until the Wanshou Festival, it will be a crucial half year to determine the future direction of Daming.

I was sick yesterday, and today I'll only have one more chapter, T_T
