Chapter 335: Where is the path of the nobles?
The interests of the officials and masters must be harmed, but they have no way to make their voices heard, because Zhu Youxiao pays attention to one thing in everything, and there is evidence.
Even the officials who committed the crime were not thrown into Jinyiwei's prison, but directly into the prison of the Criminal Department.
All the evidence is presented, and even if these officials want to turn back, there is no way to clear their name.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the two squires are also trembling these days, they know what His Majesty wants to do, and they also know that Zhu Youxiao is staring at them deadly.
If they dare to engage in favoritism, they will be replaced by Zhu Youxiao immediately, and what will happen to them after being removed is also conceivable.
Even if some officials were once their contemporaries, fellow villagers, or even friends, they had to act fairly and honestly.
Even if they are pointed at and scolded by the eight generations of ancestors in the public court, what they should kill is still equivalent to killing.
The executioner has a rule, killing no more than a hundred, the executioner has changed several batches, and people still keep killing.
In the end, the Criminal Department no longer had enough executioners, so he had to write to Colonel Zhu You.
This problem is easy to solve, Zhu Youxiao directly sent them a group of soldiers of the Guards, these people don't pay attention to anything, and they don't kill more than 100 people.
In addition to the loss of the interests of these civil officials, there are also those nobles who are helpless, and their interests are also damaged.
Most of them continue to serve in the army of the Ming Dynasty because of the blessings left by their ancestors, mainly the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Twenty-six Guards of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, there are also armies from all over the country, and even the senior generals of the guards, who also have their share.
In Zhu Youxiao's recent operation, many of their children were killed, but they could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
When their children made such a mistake, they did not discipline them well, and they were killed when they were killed.
Everyone understands very well that if they dare to write to Zhu Youxiao to intercede, then their entire family will be unlucky, and compared with the entire family and just one child, of course they will choose to keep the family.
If a child dies, it can be reborn, but if the family is gone, then there is really nothing.
But even so, they were extremely uncomfortable in their hearts, because they were sensitive to something, and His Majesty wanted to dismiss the guards.
That's right, Zhu Youxiao wants to remove all the guards.
Although Zhu Youxiao did not do this now, his plan is very obvious.
A large number of nobles in Yingtianfu, and even a large number of nobles in the southeast, have all been concentrated in Xu Hongji's mansion.
At this time, Xu Hongji's Duke of Wei had passed to the tenth generation, and in addition to Xu Hongji's mansion, there were also Rongguo mansions, and even a large number of other nobles.
Some of their ancestors became nobles when the Ming Dynasty was founded, and some of them became nobles when Zhu Di was martyred, most of them have been passed down for more than ten generations, and many have even passed down for thirteen or fourteen generations.
Zhang Weixian sighed, "It's not quite right, Your Majesty seems to be very dissatisfied with the guards, and is gradually reducing these guards." ”
"If there are no guards, where should we go in the future, so many of our children can't arrange it, so many people, we can't let them all eat at home and wait for death."
Xu Hongji sneered when he heard this and said, "Then what's the matter, do you want to go against Your Majesty?" ”
Several other dukes, marquises, and earls heard this, and they didn't know what to say for a while, as far as the current situation is concerned, if they dare to go against Zhu Youxiao, there will be only one end, and the whole family will go to see the king of Hades.
I saw that Xu Hongji was still continuing: "Your Majesty is not soft-hearted today, if you really want to fight against Your Majesty, then find someone else, and get out of my house now." ”
"I definitely can't do it with my guts, and I don't have the courage to go against Your Majesty, and I don't have the heart to do so."
When Zhang Weixian, Duke of Rongguo, heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "The Duke of Rongguo has been loyal to the king for generations, of course he has no intention of confronting His Majesty, if anyone wants to confront His Majesty, then my Rongguo Mansion is the first to disagree." ”
When the other nobles heard this, they also sighed, thinking in their hearts, who can't shout the slogan, but the current difficulties. It's always something to be addressed.
Xu Hongji over there continued: "Don't you know what those guards have become now? ”
"They are just ordinary people, they have never fought, their faces are yellow and thin, and they can't lift a knife, let alone compare with His Majesty's Guards, even if they are compared with the Liaodong Border Army back then, it is far behind."
"To put it another way, there are a lot fewer homeless bandits in the Ming Dynasty now, and this is all due to the strength of His Majesty's Guards, suppressing bandits everywhere, providing disaster relief everywhere, and there are fewer homeless people."
"If you really count it, I'm afraid that the soldiers of those displaced people army are a little more effective than those guards, and if you want to rely on the guards to fight, I'm afraid they won't even be able to win the battle, so what is there to say."
Xu Hongji said this, but no one in the honors present was dissatisfied, they understood that the guards were indeed mud that could not support the wall.
Zhang Weixian stood up and said: "But if it goes on like this, that's not a way, the guards will definitely be abolished, we all know this very well, but the guards are gone, and the children of our people must have a way out." ”
That's where they get out of their frustration.
When Zhu Youxiao crossed over that year, he immediately set up a guard army that was only loyal to him, and the effect was very obvious.
Now, even if the civil officials and these nobles join forces, they won't be able to do anything big.
If Zhu Youxiao is really ruthless when he arrives, and he casually asks them to hack history, they will be finished.
It's very easy to find Xungui's black history, there are so many children in the family, there are always some unruly, and when you pull it up, it's endless.
Zhang Weixian said: "In this case, why don't we take a look and see if we can arrange our children into the Guards?" ”
"If there are no guards left, Your Majesty's more than 200,000 guards will definitely not be enough, and the army will definitely continue to expand, and a large number of officers will definitely be needed.
The Xungui present heard Zhang Weixian say this, and they all felt a little speechless, if the guards were really so easy to enter, they would have entered a long time ago.
In the past two or three years, I don't know how many children of poor families or low-level officers have been named Uncle Hou by Zhu Youxiao by virtue of one victory after another in the Guards.
As nobles, how can they not be blushing, the problem is that if they want to join the Guards, then they have to be agreed by His Majesty.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
