The officials of the Nanjing nursing home did not experience as much as the officials of the Beijing Dynasty.

They did not experience the first court meeting after Zhu Houxi ascended the throne, did not experience the turbulent debate in the hall of the Criminal Department, and did not face the "party struggle" that put many officials in prison in the first year of Jiajing.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the closest Nanjing officials came to fear was the southeast killing of officials in the sixteenth year of Zhengde. At that time, Zhang Zilin went south, and there was a great tendency to plow and sweep, but in the end, he was raised high and fell gently, after all, it was only based on Xuanfu.

After experiencing the gentle Hongzhi Dynasty, and experiencing the Zhengde Dynasty where the emperor did not like to engage in struggle, although the eunuchs were fortunate and domineering, the officials in Nanjing finally recalled: During the Hongwu period, the coercion of Taizu spread from Nanjing to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Now the young son of heaven is far away in Beijing, but overnight, the Marquis of Wuding mastered the gates of Nanjing, the Marquis of Xining commanded the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the Jinyi Guard is still running between the various offices in Nanjing.

In the Nanjing garrison hall, Dai Yi, Guo Xun, Song Liangchen, Wei Pengju, Caojiang Admiral, Xia Yan, and Qiao Yu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, met each other.

"Father-in-law Dai, if you have a will, please declare it!" Qiao Yu looked at Guo Xun again with a calm face, "If there is no will, what is the reason for what happened today last night?" ”

This is a garrison hall meeting, Xia Yan is because of the identity of Cao Jiang Yushi, and Qiao Yu is qualified to counsel this meeting.

Dai Yi was much older than he was more than two years ago, and he bent over and didn't speak.

Guo Xun squinted his eyes slightly: "Qiao Shangshu doesn't think that Jinyiwei and I are acting without authorization?" As I said, Elder Jiang Ge is heading south, and the Ming Decree will arrive in these two days. ”

Qiao Yu's heart was cold: "Overnight, Ying Tianfu Yin, the right servant of the household department, two people from the military department, two people from the Ministry of Engineering, three people from the criminal department, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and now he has gone to take the three supervising imperial history of Shangyuan Zhi County and the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the Shangshu of the Household Department!" Guo Hou, so many people, such a high position, how can he do it without a purpose? ”

"Since Qiao Shangshu knows that there are so many people, if he doesn't take them by surprise, how can he win them all in one fell swoop?" Guo Xun raised his head, "If you ask the will, Ben Hou has already received the will before he goes south, and he came to Nanjing for the big event that started last night!" The three major battalions were set up by Ben Hou at the beginning, but now there are people who dare to stretch out their hands to the Beijing camp and even dare to mutiny! Qiao Yu, as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, you are now aggressive on this matter, don't you think carefully about the consequences? ”

Guo Xun called him by his name, and the pleasure of controlling the situation in Nanjing at the moment made his waist stiff, and his tone was a little gloomy.

Dai Yi finally spoke: "Your Majesty has made arrangements, and the news from the palace has come." Jin Yiwei came to Nanjing to bring the meaning of Zhang Gonggong, including our family, many provinces and many important places to guard the change. Guo Houye and Qiao Shangshu are only worried about the instability of Nanjing. ”

"Nothing unstable! As I said, Jiang Ge will come soon, and he will have his own clear intention to go to Nanjing. A total of 30,000 Fengfeng were selected in Beijing, and if Nanzhili dares to be unstable, you can give it a try! ”

Qiao Yu heard him say that he had received his will before he went south, and he could only shut up in horror.

After a corpse impeachment, the change in the five military camps had not yet happened, and Guo Xun had already gone south.

Zhang Wei rebelled, and Sichuan changed, which was later. Guo Xun went to Nanjing, just waiting for an excuse to rebel in the world?

Guo Xun said coldly: "Don't hide it, it wasn't just Nanjing that took people last night. In Zhejiang, it was also done at the beginning of last night. Qiao Shangshu, gathered together today, Brother Ling cares about how to make meritorious service is the right reason. The commander of the Jinyi Weidu has also left Beijing, and it is not the imperial court that he will act rashly without waiting for the fifth year of Jiajing! ”

Qiao Yu gasped.

Therefore, in the case of Li Xiang's corpse impeachment, what the emperor cared about was not his reputation in history, but was he angry at this kind of trick?

Qiao Yu is smart, but he is also timid.

He will follow the crowd, but this new law is so fierce, and His Majesty is so determined and persistent.

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, the three major battalions were re-established, which was to prepare to plow and sweep the world, and to prepare to raise troops to quell the chaos!

Chaos in the world? He's just worried that he won't be able to mess up, right?

Otherwise, how can you be like last night without asking the reason, and the second and third grade masters just take it like this!

Over there in Zhejiang, who is Yan Song taking?

Here in Zhejiang, Yan Song held a stack of silver tickets and said to Xie Changjie with a smile: "Look, there are still a lot of people who know the goods." With this money, His Majesty does not need to take the silver to arrange for someone to build this imperial bell. ”

Xie Changjie was in a complicated mood.

This guy must know very well that his main task in Zhejiang is actually to keep an eye on him for His Majesty. Yesterday, many families were "enthusiastic" to buy the concession to build the building and hire the Wanfa Hall to worship and teach the secret method, so he told himself the silver two numbers he received, and behaved like a show.

Then Yan Song got down to business: "Many of the families He walked took last night were all in Zhejiang. After the news spread, under Wang Zhentai's interrogation, many prefectural and county officials must have been panicked. Brother Xie patrolled Zhejiang, and the next step was to work hard. ”

Xie Changjie hesitated for a moment, and then asked for advice: "Futai, in Xie Mou's opinion, I am afraid that many officials and gentry have dealings with him." Xie Mou is a patrol press, and the patrol of Zhejiang still depends on whether the local officials are doing things or not. The confession of the person who was arrested, Xie Mou still depends on which officials bought land, hid Ding households, and evaded enslavement too much, and used this as the criterion to impeach and play his rebellion? ”

Yan Song smiled and saluted: "Brother Xie is smart!" ”

Isn't it just forcing people to take sides now?

If you don't want to be saddled with the big crime of rebellion, then "break the wealth and eliminate the disaster", and pay the taxes that should be paid in the future, so that you may be able to seize the good positions left by many high-ranking officials after being swept away this time.

As for the future, it has its own testimonies. The law of procurement and the treatment of officials are there, and Yan Song understands very well that His Majesty is not the Taizu who is only willing to let officials live a hard life.

Seeing that Xie Changjie relieved his heart and left, Yan Song's eyes showed some doubts.

Why doesn't Your Majesty obviously care that the courtiers who can do things also get some benefits, why did he send Xie Changjie to be a patrol in Zhejiang to keep an eye on himself?

Yan Song cherishes the broad and smooth path to promotion now, and does not want to leave an impression of greed in His Majesty's eyes now.

But Your Majesty thinks I might be greedy?

He was secretly vigilant: Although His Majesty doesn't mind the courtiers' lives being better, it must be measured.

And the most important thing is that you have to be able to do things beautifully!

……

Two days later, the news spread, and Liu Zhenyuan saw it very accurately.

Nanjing and Zhejiang dispatched at almost the same time, taking so many people in one go, and the deterrent effect revealed was extremely powerful.

Behind this, what is needed is early planning and preparation, as well as dealing with possible reactions after good things.

In a word: determination and strength.

Jiang Mian came to Nanzhili, which also shows determination and strength.

But he didn't go to Yingtianfu or Nanjing.

He stayed in Yangzhou Mansion.

This is the throat of the canal from the Yangtze River to the north, and the office of the governor of the south is located in Yangzhou.

The governor of Nanzhili was only temporary, and his main affairs were water transportation, salt law, and water conservancy.

But since they have such a name, and they are the second assistant to go south, the remaining Shangshu and other high-ranking officials in Nanjing still have to go over to pay a visit, and they also need to listen to the order.

Guo Xun doesn't have to listen to orders, and Xia Yan doesn't need to do it - Jiang Mianren hasn't arrived yet, and the results of the selection of the officials have already been reported: Xia Yan was promoted to Ying Tianfu Yin.

After all, Meng Chun was the one who was sure to be taken out before Jiang Mian left Beijing.

So Guo Xun and Xia Yan sent many people on the boat outside the Jinchuan Gate. The river was surging, the official ships were flowing downstream, and the "surviving" Nanjing officials on them were in a heavy mood and had little interest in talking.

In two days and three nights, the six departments of Nanjing and the Zhuya were missing more than 28 five-grade products. Those below the sixth or seventh grade only took thirteen people.

This time, it's about the big ones.

Naturally, there is also an edict in Nanjing Jinyiweili, and now it is like a cloud.

Going down the river, the official ship crossed the Zhenjiang River, and it was noon when they arrived in Jiangdu County.

Yangzhou Prefecture is governed in Jiangdu County, and the current Jiangdu County is not only attached to the city of Yuanfu, but also has to work under the nose of the temporary governor of Nanzhili, highlighting a trembling and trembling.

On the dock, the six departments and the senior executives of the Zhuya were already ready to welcome the left-behind six departments and the senior executives from Nanjing City, watching the large number of people in red official uniforms get off the boat in turn, and the prefect of Jiangdu County could only accompany the prefect of Yangzhou to greet them.

Everyone didn't want to talk about it, after all, there was a governor pacesetter that Guo Xun had already dispatched for Jiang Mian.

You say that he is only a temporary governor, and he is not a full-titled governor like the other provinces, but he has his own pacesetter battalion.

Jiang Mian temporarily set up the yamen in the Daming Temple, which was built in the second year of Song Xiaowu in the Southern Dynasty, and many officials in Nanjing came here to play.

On the west side of the main hall of Daming Temple, it is the Pingshan Hall built by Ouyang Xiu as the Taipunctual of Yangzhou.

Standing in front of this Pingshan Hall, you can overlook many peaks in the south of the Yangtze River by the railing, and the distant scenery is almost parallel to the realization, so it is named Pingshan Hall.

Jiangnan Zhufeng, is it considered at the foot of Jiang Mian who is set up here?

An incense table has already been set up in front of Pingshan Hall, and the ground is sprinkled and cleaned. In the pacesetter barracks, Jiang Mian's personal soldiers guarded various places inside and outside Pingshan Hall, and Jiang Mian stood in front of the incense case, and the person next to him was still holding a holy decree in his hand.

A few people couldn't help but look at the person who was about to make the announcement in surprise, and their hearts were shocked.

When the officials of Nanjing came to greet Jiang Mian, Jiang Mian took a step away and saluted the person holding the holy decree, and then said: "Please seal the eunuch Zhang Jin Gong to announce the decree." ”

Going south with Jiang Mian turned out to be the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor.

As a result of Zhang Jin's discussion with Zhang Zuo and others about the replacement of the list of eunuchs in various parts of the world, he gave up the position of the palm seal of the celebrant to Zhang Zuo, and he went to Nanjing to replace Dai Yi.

At this very moment, the entire system of ministers is no longer what it used to be. With the imperial study, the role of the celebrant is gradually adjusted, and Zhang Jin also has to be like Wei Bin and Gu Dayong, who goes to the local place to do things for the emperor and make meritorious contributions.

Now for the officials of Nanjing, the master of ceremonies came to announce the decree in person, and then the decree clearly stated that he would take over the garrison of Nanjing, and the emperor's determination was even more obvious.

“…… I asked Jiang Mian to be the governor of Nanzhili, except for Cao Yun, salt law, and water conservancy, and the various ministries left behind in Nanjing should follow the old example. Huaixi Jiangnan Longxing land, I in Beijing to guard the country, equal to Nanjing Xugong loyal to the country. As I said before, five years before Jiajing, the world first observed the effectiveness of the new law in Guangdong, and if there was any obstruction, it would be regarded as complicit. ”

"Now, it's not just a hindrance, it's a clear rebellion! Zhang Wei of the Fifth Military Battalion, etc., Gao Kewei of Sichuan, etc., where did they get the courage to make waves with false intentions? Except for Ying Tianfu, Yin Mengchun and others, who else gave them courage? I reiterate it today: I said on the day that I didn't raise my son in Guangdong, and this heart has not changed! ”

"I appointed you with high-ranking officials to relieve my worries and enrich the country and the people. Yang Ge Lao invited the official treatment law, etc., I agreed, what? Now I feel that the new law treats the gentry harshly, and even conspires against it? are all people who have read history, more than 100 years since the founding of the country, they can get by and go on, do you really want me to see the day when the Ming Dynasty dies? ”

"Last year, Guangdong had early results, and this year we will try out a new law of enslavement, and the corpse will come on the fifteenth day of the first month. So faithful! Good temperament! Good name! I want to remember one thing, I am the king of the domain, and I have the destiny to succeed to this great throne, and I have no burden! I only wish to be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors, and worthy of the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"I also warn you that you also need to be worthy of my reuse, worthy of your well-read sage books, and worthy of the people under your rule! Tang Taizong said that water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, so you must remember it. The ship of Daming capsized, and I and my descendants will not be spared, and neither will you and your descendants be spared! ”

"Chin this!"

This is by no means the edict to be drafted by the ornate and euphemistic Hanlin Academy.

Many people had not heard the emperor's speech with their own ears, and now from Zhang Jin's mouth, they seemed to see a determined young man standing in front of him, coldly, suppressing anger and rationally telling them some reason.

The emperor and his courtiers are all people who sit on the big boat of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as you are not a fool and understand the consequences of constantly squeezing the people, the ship will capsize sooner or later.

Here's the problem: it won't be right now.

The emperor did not want the flood after his death, and the emperor said that he was originally just a vassal king and had no burden in his heart.

The emperor seems to be a grumpy teenager......

The ministers knelt down to listen to the holy decree and promised in unison, and then stood up, and after looking at Jiang Mian and Zhang Jin with serious expressions, they remembered that the emperor could let Yang Tinghe and Fei Hong perform this scene together, and now in the name of rebellion, the terrifying power of Bu suddenly lowered the power of thunder.

The emperor was also a scheming teenager......

He was still a teenager.

When the "surviving" officials in Nanjing heard this decree with their own ears, the people who went to Guangdong to announce the decree to Zhang Fujing and Gui Cao had already arrived in Wuchang Mansion.

The will to Sun Jiao and the Marquis of Zhenyuan naturally arrived.

Gu Dayong, the eunuch of Huguang, the chief town, Sun Jiao, the marquis of Jing'an and the minister of the country, and Sun Jiao, who is now the governor of his hometown, and Gu Shilong, the marquis of Zhenyuan and the chief soldier of Huguang, clearly stood together, but it was not as some people had guessed before, because of the change in the five military camps, they were planning to "Qinwang Qingjun's side".

And Gu Shilong tied up his second son and handed it to the eunuchs who came to announce the decree, so that they could take it back to the emperor to reply to him.

Regarding this news, the one who was most stimulated was Zhu Rong, the king of Chu.

The stimulation he received was so great that Sun Jiao and Gu Shilong were shocked on this night.

"Is that true?"

Sun Jiao stood up and asked the person who came to report the news.

The person who came was the head of the Chu Wangfu, and he tried his best to make a sad expression, but his eyes were very frightened: "It's really true, the King of Chu is gone!" ”

Zhu Rong, the sixth generation of the king of Chu, was crowned the king of Chu in the seventh year of Zhengde, and now he has just been 12 years old and is 50 years old.

He's been sick before, it's a real illness.

But I never expected that after the will of the imperial court reached Huguang, after Gu Shilong kidnapped his second son to the capital to apologize, the king of Chu died that night.

Sun Jiao and Gu Shilong looked at each other, and there was solemnity in each other's eyes.

What will the world think?
