Chapter Seventy-Three: Acting King

A new day has begun, today is March 15, the March New Year's Dynasty Wangchao, according to the regulations do not discuss politics, the monarchs and ministers congratulate each other.

What is the Synodic Dynasty? That is, on the first day and fifteenth day of each month, the first day of the new year is the new year, and the fifteenth day is the hope, according to the regulations, all officials participate in the court meeting, including the officials of the nine grades who do not enter the stream.

But Zhu Youzhen still gave an order, he couldn't bear what Zhu Chunchen and others did, "Ladies and gentlemen, Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen have brought disaster to the country and the people, and their crimes have been completely investigated, according to Zhu Chunchen, Li Guozhen and their families, they have also discussed the surrender of the Liukou, it is really wolf-hearted, rebellious, and even more odious is that the Liukou has not yet come, Zhu Chunchen has already exchanged letters with the Liukou, what do you say about this Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen?" ”

Immediately, several people were out of the class at the same time.

Ling Yiqu, the Qing of Dali Temple, said, "The law of the Ming Dynasty, those who surrender to the enemy will punish the three clans." ”

The so-called three clans refer to the father's clan, the mother's clan, and the child clan, and the ministers all know the law, and the punishment of the three clans is clearly and ironclad.

Wang Chengen suddenly slammed into the field, it's over! Finished! Mo Yuchan, that little lady doesn't care about herself, she can't save it, it's a pity! Pity! Such a stunning beauty is about to be lost, special! Last night, I went to the Jinyi Guard Prison to see the little lady, what the hell did she do?

"Order Liu Lishun to serve as the left waiter of the Criminal Department, promote Chen Pengju to the right waiter, and work together to arrest all the guilty personnel in the case of Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen."

Liu Lishun went out of class, "The minister is grateful for the order!" ”

Chen Peng raised the class, "The minister is grateful for the order!" ”

Xiang Yu looked at Liu Lishun and whispered to He Ruizheng who was standing beside him: "I'll wipe it!" A set of information governance in exchange for a top of the three-grade Wusha. ”

He Ruizheng didn't say anything, thinking to himself, why are you reluctant to give your own set of books to Zuo Dudu? Your mother, I don't know you yet, miser, now I'm jealous of others, let me tell you, Liu Lishun was the champion of the seventh year, you can't compare.

"Wang Chengen!"

"The old slave is here!"

"Are you tired of these two days?"

"The old slave is not tired, the old slave is very happy."

"That's good! Assist Li Ruoqi to raid the homes of Xue Lian, Chen Yanzuo, Zhang Guangcan, and Wu Zunzhou, Jinyiwei, and immediately arrest the four people and put them in the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, and the household department continued to send personnel to participate. ”

Yangwu Hou Xue Lian, Qin Ninghou Chen Yanzuo, An Xiangbo Zhang Guangcan, Qingping Bo Wu Zun Zhou Zheng stood in the queue of honors and trembled, usually, they have the best relationship with Zhu Chunchen, so many years, they have taken the opportunity to get a lot of benefits from the Beijing camp, Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen were arrested, will they be implicated? Several people were already scared to death, and when they heard what Zhu Youzhen said, they all collapsed to the ground in an instant.

The other princes and uncles are all frightened, what is the next step? It's time to catch someone next.

Wang Chengen was a little suspicious, why did the emperor say that he would let our family assist Li Ruoqi? Did the emperor know about our family going to Beizhen Fusi to see Mo Yuchan? Mother! Lao Wang, you haven't had that function since you were a child, you're all at this age, what are you thinking? I'm myself slapping myself.

"Arrest the household servant Dang Chongya and send him to prison for punishment."

Dang Chongya, who was standing in the queue of civil officials, almost fell down in fright, "Your Majesty, what is the crime of the minister?" ”

Zhu Youzhen glared at Dang Chongya viciously, and really wanted to go up and kick Dang Chongya a few times, "What crime?" What did you do that you didn't know? How much grain did you use your power to resell with Zhu Chunchen? Zhu Chunchen has confessed, do you still want to deny it? ”

Dang Chongya heard it, it's over, it's over, damn, Zhu Chunchen will say everything! Let's just kneel on the ground and don't get up, and when the brocade guards come to catch us, they will kick us down.

Dang Chongya, a native of Panlong Town, Baoji, Shaanxi, five years after the Apocalypse, the forty-one-year-old Dang Chongya was admitted to the Jinshi, the ranking is not very good, the one hundred and fifty-fourth in the top three, and has served as the governor of Nanyang Mansion in Henan, the Imperial History of the Supervision of Shandong Province of the Metropolitan Inspection Institute, and the Imperial History of Sichuan Patrol, and was later promoted to the right attendant of the household department, and the granary of Tongzhou, the governor.

At the end of the fourth year of Chongzhen, he fiercely opposed Emperor Chongzhen's reuse of eunuchs to interfere in military and political affairs and was arrested by Jinyiwei, and was detained for half a year.

The reason why Zhu Youzhen didn't listen was because of Zhu Youzhen's considerations and worries, and the Shu people ruled Shu? Will it become an independent kingdom in the future, and will not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court?

Strictly speaking, Dang Chongya was pulled into the water by Zhu Chunchen, of course, it has a lot to do with the fact that the Chongzhen Dynasty is declining day by day, at this time, Dang Chongya feels that the collapse of the Chongzhen Dynasty is a matter of time, and Zhu Chunchen, as the first nobleman in the capital, came to the door to propose a partnership in the grain business, and Dang Chongya did not dare to refuse, but also had the idea of making a handful.

In the past two years, due to the war, Caoyun was often truncated by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the price of grain in the capital changed three times a day, and the difference between the official and the black market price was more than doubled.

But Dang Chongya felt that Zhu Chunchen might not be able to say such a small thing as reselling grain, so he had a fluke mentality.

In addition, this party Chongya is very careful, and all the procedures for transferring grain out and in and out have basically been destroyed privately, and the general ledger is currently on the top.

So how did he do it? The specific method is that as soon as the Cao Yun is broken, the grain price in the capital will be opened, and the two people will dump the grain in the granary to sell on the black market, and after the Cao Yun is opened, they will pay for the timely purchase of grain from the south to supplement it, and sometimes it is very trouble-free, some people in the south who run the grain business will send grain to the capital when the Cao Yun is smooth, and directly buy the whole ship, sometimes Zhu Chunchen and Dang Chongya will buy a large number of them, hoarding them in the granary of Tongzhou, once the Cao Yun is blocked, the price of grain in the capital will rise, and they will sell it immediately.

Jin Yiwei rushed in and arrested Xue Lian, Zhang Guangcan, Chen Yanzuo, Wu Zunzhou, and Dang Chongya.

Every time he is on duty in the Jianji Palace, in fact, Jinyi Wei has only one errand, and that is to catch the people ordered by the emperor, as for the security guards? Everyone knows that there is no need at all, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all subordinates of the emperor, who can be misguided to the emperor?

Zhu Youzhen announced, "Li Banghua's generation of old ministers, loyal and diligent, crowned Li Banghua as the Taishi, and awarded the Zhuguo." ”

Li Banghua was moved, this Taishi and Shangzhu Guo are the best rewards in civil and military affairs, "Old minister Xie Emperor!" ”

"Old Aiqing, no courtesy!"

Then, Zhu Youzhen rewarded Fan Jingwen and Ni Yuanlu again, "Crowned Prince Fan Jingwen, Wenyuange University Scholar, Ni Yuanlu Prince Taifu, and Jianji Hall University Scholar." ”

Previously, Fan Jingwen had been awarded the title of Wenhuadian University Scholar, and this time Zhu Youzhen had the title of Prince Fan Jingwen.

Fan Jingwen and Ni Yuanlu came out of class, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Crowned Zhu Cixuan, the governor of the left capital, as the crown prince and the protector, and appointed the commander of the remaining governor."

The commander who was staying behind was the highest military governor of the capital, in charge of the capital's defense, public security, and other matters.

Zhang Ping came out of class, "The emperor can't, the minister asks the emperor to take back his order." ”

Zhu Youzhen glared, "Hugh has to resign!" ”

Everyone thinks it's strange, why does the queen mother's righteous son still refuse? Isn't it bad to get an extra salary?

The reward is not only an increase in official positions, but also an increase in income. For example, Fan Jingwen, in addition to receiving a salary of the second-grade Ministry of Engineering, also received a salary from the first-grade prince and master, and also received a second-grade Wenhuadian scholar's salary, so many people are looking forward to rewarding them.

Of course, Zhang Ping also knows this, but he really doesn't want to be too big, he is young, not to mention, the key is that he is the righteous son of the Queen Mother Zhang Yan, and becoming Zhang Yan's righteous son, it can be said that he has found a towering tree as a backer, and no one dares to do anything to him, in turn, this is also very sensitive, the righteous son of the Queen Mother Zhang Yan, isn't that the righteous son of the old emperor Zhu Youxiao? What if someone makes a fuss about this?

Dispersed, everyone quietly left the Jianji Palace, the expressions on their faces were different, some excited, some worried, really a few happy and a few sad.

In Mo'er Mountain, Shanxi, Zhou Yuji and Wang Guoxing set off with two thousand brocade guards, Wang Daliang followed with five hundred minions, and more than 200 horses behind them carried artillery, ammunition, grain and beef and mutton that had been killed.

The two thousand brocade guards were all in good spirits, although they slept in the wilderness last night, they had eaten well, and the fatigue accumulated in the past two days was swept away.

These two thousand brocade guards were selected by Wang Guoxing, and it can be said that they are all Jinyi guards in terms of quality and personal quality.

According to the regulations of the state, the selection of Jinyiwei is a very strict thing, and everyone who is selected to Jinyiwei is basically a person with an innocent family and extraordinary skills.

Although the five hundred people under Wang Daliang are dressed differently, and the family in their hands is different, everyone has a smile and excitement on their faces, from today they are also officials and soldiers, and they are the second masters in the capital as a big official, and they have become the queen mother's righteous son, after following Zhou Yuji and Wang Guoxing The two marquis completed the task, they are about to go to the capital to meet the second master, no matter what they do in the future, they must not be wrong.

Just look at Zhao Shi's current appearance, they will definitely be the same as Zhao Shi in the future.

Now, everyone understands that the Queen Mother has no children, and the last emperor passed the throne to his younger brother when he hiccuped, and the second leader is the only son of the Queen Mother, isn't that the old emperor's crown prince? No matter what you say, it's a bull fork, whoever doesn't accept it, we will beat him.

Mo'er Mountain is not far from Datong, and a group of people quickly whipped up and arrived at the city of Datong before it was dark.

Datong is the important town of the nine-sided town, its northwest two directions are bordered by Tatar, and the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the Northern Yuan Dynasty, out of the coveting of the richness of the Central Plains and the urgent need for its own material shortage, the Mongols often harass the interior of the Ming Dynasty, the main direction is around Datong, the west of Yulin, Ningxia, Guyuan, Gansu four towns Mongolians go very little, because those places even if they go into the hundreds of miles may not get much benefit, because those places are very desolate, the population is also small, can not grab anything, And what about the east? That place is close to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the number of garrisons, and the mountains and mountains, it is not easy to get in, and it is even more difficult to come out, so once the Mongolian Tatars want to go to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to grab things, they will choose Datong and Xuanfu.

Datong city repair of the unusually strong and tall, for the Hongwu period of the general Xu Da repaired, the city wall is all based on the regular system of stone, slate, stone square, the upper side of the triple soil tamping inner outer brick, the city wall is as high as 14 meters, the upper width is 12 meters, the lower width is 18 meters, the city wall is built around 54 watchtowers, 96 nests. There are 580 pairs of battlements built on the four walls, which are two meters higher than Xi'an City and six meters wider than Nanjing City.

The Jinyi Guard was brightly armored, and Zhou Yuji and Wang Guoxing were both wearing marquis clothes, and the soldiers guarding the door saw it and immediately let them go.

Zhou Yuji thought about it all the way, and when he arrived in Datong, he met the acting king Zhu Chuan, took out the edict of the emperor Zhu Youzhen and the secret decree given to him by the emperor, and asked the acting king to summon the officials of Datong to go to the acting king's mansion and arrest Jiang Hao directly in the acting king's mansion.

Datong is the fiefdom of the king, and the king of Zhu Chuan at this time is the seventeenth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Think that year, after Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Mongols and established the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Huizong retreated to the Yuan Shangdu on the grassland, due to the continuous blows of the Ming army and the centrifugal detachment of the nobles from all over Mongolia, in 1002, the Northern Yuan Dynasty officially announced its demise.

Although the Yuan Dynasty as a complete regime no longer exists, but the tribes still retain a certain strength, the more powerful are the Warat and the Tatar two tribes, these tribes still miss the wealth of the Central Plains, from time to time to the south to harass the Ming Dynasty border, at first mainly Tatar, later Warat also invaded the land of the Ming Dynasty, for example, the Tumubao change was done by the Warat, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen also became a prisoner of Warat.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to ensure the security of the Central Plains, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the military defense line along the Great Wall, mobilized a large number of troops to guard the border, from the easternmost Liaodong to the westernmost Gansu, a total of nine important military towns were set up, namely Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town, Gansu Town, called Jiubian.

Datong is the fief of the king, the earliest king Zhu Gui is the thirteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, in the eleventh year of Hongwu to be the king of Yu, Hongwu twenty-five years to be crowned the king, on the domain of Datong, the first year of Jianwen, the reduction of the domain was abolished as a people, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ascended the throne, immediately restored the king, passed to Zhu Chuan, has lasted sixteen generations.

Zhu Gui, the king of this generation, gave birth to more than a dozen sons, survived nine, the eldest son must be the successor, the other sons are divided into the second king, such as his second son Zhu Xun named the king of Guangling, the third son Zhu Xun was named the king of Lucheng, the fourth son Zhu Xunxuan was named the king of Shanyin, the fifth son Zhu Xunxuan was named the king of Xiangyuan, the sixth son Zhu Xunxi was named the king of Lingqiu, the seventh son Zhu Xunwei was named the king of Xuanning, the eighth son Zhu Xunxi was named the king of Huairen, the ninth son Zhu Xunxi was named the king of Xichuan, and the descendants of his eldest son and eldest grandson also sealed a lot of kings. For example, the king of Changhua, the king of Anding, the king of Hechuan, the king of Yongqing and a large number of kings, so the northern part of Shanxi is basically the territory of the king.

Because he is the king on the frontier, and Datong is the front line to resist the harassment of the Northern Yuan people, the kings of the past dynasties are not foolish people, most of them care about national affairs, unlike the king of Qin and the king of Jin, who have turned into pigs.

Zhu Chuanqi heard that Li Zicheng was going to fight, and immediately scattered his wealth, bought military supplies, recruited a large number of troops, and prepared to fight with Li Zicheng.
