Chapter 349: Conspiracy
Zhu Di seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end, he just sighed and said.
"You all go back, clean up yourself, and deal with the dirty and broken things that you are involved in, and when the time comes, the people from the Criminal Department or the people of Jinyiwei will deal with it.
But I don't want to be blinded next time. ”
Although Zhu Di's words are not heavy, these generals still know what to do, and they all know what to do.
Not to mention that among them are old subordinates who have followed them for many years, and there are also close ministers who are close to them.
All the generals wept and said.
"Obey."
Zhu Di just took one last look at them, and then turned around and left, leaving only these generals still kneeling in the Taimiao.
When Zhu Di left, he couldn't see his back anymore, and Xu Huizu and the others dared to stand up.
Glancing at each other, Zhang Yu said.
"I'd better go back early and give Your Majesty another edict asking for guilt."
All the generals nodded in unison, this thing must be done, although Zhu Di has the intention of letting them go, but they can't be pampered and arrogant.
said that Zhu Di returned to the palace and called He Qiu again, and as soon as they met, Zhu Di began to pour bitter water on He Qiu.
"I know it, why did my father attack the emperor so ruthlessly to the ministers in the first place, these Qiu Ba, they are really not greedy enough!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang first founded the country, it was not that he did not give those nobles a chance, but their group of people was too greedy.
To this day, the situation Zhu Di is facing is really the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's belief at the beginning, the people he trusts are all martial artists, but these people are full of poisons, and most of them act recklessly.
In this way, the law of the imperial court will be destroyed, and it is no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang later slowly collected the power that was originally divided into the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to the Ministry of War.
In the last years of Yongle, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was gradually virtualized by Zhu Di.
Of course, there is the erosion of military power by the civil ministers, but why is it not the evil of the military ministers themselves?
After He Qiu listened to Zhu Di's words, he also persuaded him with good words.
"Your Majesty, most of them have fought all the way from the battlefield, we have all experienced the battlefield, and we have never done cruel things such as murder and arson.
In this way, the shortcomings of many soldiers are also understandable, as long as the imperial court does a good job of control. ”
Zhu Di listened to He Qiu's words, gave him a blank look and said.
"If not, why should I give them a chance?"
The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and Zhu Di can't avoid headaches.
After a long sigh, Zhu Di simply asked He Qiu to stay in the palace tonight, looking like he wanted to talk to He Qiu all night.
It was also at this time that Ji Gang, who had been happily waiting outside the palace to arrest the generals, found that something was wrong.
Why haven't you received your majesty's arrest warrant yet?
Some anxious Ji Gang hurriedly ran to the palace to ask to see Zhu Di, Zhu Di was already a little annoyed, and when he saw Ji Gang coming, he always knew what he wanted to say, so he didn't see him.
This time, Ji Gang was even more panicked, and he couldn't figure out Zhu Di's true thoughts.
But Ji Gang didn't dare to see Zhu Di at this time, once he provoked Zhu Di's disgust, he might be unlucky.
Ji Gang, who had a bitter face, could only reluctantly return to his home and began to ask around what was going on, why did Zhu Di change his mind?
If you want to say that Ji Gang's path is really quite wide, it didn't take long to find out, and it may be that He Qiu exerted his strength.
Thinking of this, Ji Gang became angry, he didn't offend He Qiu, why did He Qiu make a stumbling block for him when he expanded the power of Jinyiwei?
Speaking of which, He Qiu can also be regarded as Ji Gang's predecessor, how can there be such a senior?
The more Ji Gang thought about it, the more angry he became, but the saint who was taken in He Qiu was still there, so he could only hold this breath in his heart.
Late at night, Zhu Di and He Qiu chatted about this incident again, and Zhu Di drank wine and began to complain about the disobedience of the generals.
But at this time, He Qiu shook his head and interrupted his words and said seriously.
"At the beginning, the minister also thought that this matter was just some Wenchen who began to act as demons and wanted to make harm to His Majesty, but if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid it's more than that!"
Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he asked with some curiosity.
"Tell me more, I want to hear what you've come up with again?"
He Qiu straightened out his thoughts and said.
"Your Majesty, what is the identity of that dead Zhang Wu?"
Zhu Di said without thinking.
"He was originally an old man from my Yanwang Mansion, and he followed me all the way, and because he was old, he was arranged to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, isn't this his identity?"
He Qiu shook his head and said.
"The minister originally thought the same way, but later found that something was wrong, in the minister's opinion, there is a very special place in him, he is a military reform, was arranged to have a department."
Zhu Di is not a fool, but in the past, because Zhang Wuyuan was an old man in the house, he was a little negligent in some places.
At this time, He Qiu was a little bit, and suddenly there was some enlightenment.
"You mean to say that someone wants to provoke a civil and military dispute?"
He Qiu nodded first, then shook his head and said.
"I'm afraid it's not provoking, but the current civil and military contradictions are not shallow. Originally, the officials in the township were all scribes, no matter how low the status of the officials was, but they were still scribes.
But because of the change of the first emperor, a large number of retired soldiers and injured soldiers were arranged to be in the department and became officials, and because of the reform of the official system by the first emperor, these officials also became a member of the Ming officialdom and had the opportunity to become officials. ”
"In this way, these retired soldiers are a bit of an eyesore, and some people may think that they are robbing them of the position of scribes."
Although He Qiu claimed that this was all his own speculation, Zhu Di believed it at once, and he estimated in his heart that the probability was not low at all.
Even if the person who planned at the beginning really didn't have this idea, he just wanted to provoke a dispute between the new and the old. But the next promoters will definitely see this, and maybe they will have to lead this matter to the arrangement of the veterans.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but sneer.
"These dogs, what a bunch of killers!"
"The people of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are too, they don't have any brains, they are all rubbish up and down, and they are so easily caught!"
Zhu Di's vision is not bad at all, once the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is really heavy because of this matter, I am afraid that the ministers will clamoring and forcing Zhu Di to give up the system of turning retired soldiers into civil servants.
The excuses are all ready-made, these veterans are morally corrupt and embarrassed, this can be said on the table, even Zhu Di is not easy to refute.
For a while, the more Zhu Di thought about it, the more angry he became, and he took a sip of wine.
