Chapter 505: Treason, Yi Three Clans!

The royal family quickly cut through the chaos and solved the matter of the Beijing camp this time, and all the officials involved in it were all taken down.

In other places, maybe those nobles and officials will make some small moves, but in Luoyang, the divine capital, the grave grass that dares to do so is already three feet high.

With the strong attack of the imperial court, soon the Beijing camp was reorganized and took on a new look.

At this time, Wang Zhuo found out that it had been ten years since Jingying became like this, and there were problems for two or three consecutive terms.

"Your Majesty, the minister suspects that those officials are also related to this matter!" Wang Shu, the prime minister next to him, said.

Although on the surface, it seems that these things were done by those generals, and only a few of those officials were implicated. But they did it so smoothly, and for so many years, the officials didn't seem to notice it at all.

But in reality? With more than 200,000 stones of grain and grass transferred, and more than 300,000 yuan of money distributed, how could it be possible not to notice it in the slightest?

Now they have been able to do this for ten years, even if the officials did not intervene, they must have acquiesced.

"They're scared." Wang Zhuo thought for a while and said.

"Scared?"

"Yes, they are afraid, they are afraid that the royal family has always controlled such a powerful army, so that the royal family can rely on force to kill them. Once they do something out of the ordinary and are discovered by the royal family, it will be the death of the whole family and the exile of the whole family. ”

"So they were afraid that they would not be able to weaken the imperial court's military force on the surface, and they would even be severely suppressed by the imperial court, so they began to use this kind of off-the-board move."

"The evidence you found has been shot in many places above the case, such as grain buying and selling, transportation. Those big businessmen are inextricably linked to them! ”

Wang Zhuo looked at the file in front of him and said coldly.

Even Wang Zhuo suspected that this kind of corruption was secretly taught to them by those officials, otherwise it would not be so hidden.

Wang Zhuo didn't say any more, but just asked him to continue to review the affairs of the army. For those officials, if they can catch the flaws, they will naturally follow the rules, and if they can't catch the flaws, then wait for them to show the flaws.

Although Wang Zhuo had no way to promote reform, he did a better job of maintaining the rights and stability of the royal family than his father and grandfather.

The embroidered envoy began to keep an eye on the officials, who had wanted to spy on the palace not long ago. Now all of them are being watched by embroidered clothes, and even the royal family has secretly used some secret guards.

In the past, the royal family didn't take them seriously, so they didn't notice their small actions, but now that the imperial court has reacted, then what they want to do, don't want to hide it from the royal family at all.

After Wang Shu completed the review of the Beijing camp, he re-recruited the Beijing camp, and then transferred a group of soldiers from the Great Cadre Martial Arts School to join it. On the one hand, it is to retrain the Beijing camp, and on the other hand, it is to control the Beijing camp in the hands of the royal family.

Regarding the problem of the border army, Wang Shu did not rush to review it, he knew very well that the problem of the border army was also very big, but if it was checked now, who knew what the reaction of those border army generals would be?

The imperial court was also worried that these people would take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. After reorganizing the Beijing camp and restoring its strength, Wang Shu began to review those border armies.

Wang Zhuo appointed Huo Guang as the patrol of the border imperial history, responsible for inspecting the affairs of the border army on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time ordered the Marquis Weiyu of Changping Township and Li Teng, the Marquis of Wu'an Township, to go together to patrol the border overseers.

This time, Wang Zhuo transferred half of the top generals from the noble families and asked them to do this.

Most of the border troops are from the generals, many of whom have been under their grandfather, and they are considered their protégés, and with their cooperation, even if some border generals want to make trouble, they will be suppressed as soon as possible.

After appointing these people to inspect the border army, as expected by Wang Zhuo, the border army was also deducted from military salaries, but this was not the most important thing, what was more serious was that some border troops in Beidi County, Shangjun and Shuofang County united to rebel.

The total number of these border troops is close to 100,000, and some border army generals want to coerce the border army into rebellion, and even some border troops want to lure the Xianbei people and Huns to invade Daqian together. The result was discovered by Huo Guang, Wei Yu, and Li Teng.

The three of them took 5,000 Lin Wei and some of the border troops controlled by them to make the first move. Take down all the rebel border generals.

This time, there were as many as 100 generals with official positions above the rank of captain, and seeing this scene, Wang Zhuo was shocked even if he was mentally prepared.

If so many people let them succeed in coercing 100,000 border troops into rebellion, the border will definitely be eroded at that time. Wang Zhuo hated these people deeply, and these people even wanted to attract Xianbei and Huns.

Wang Zhuo did not punish him according to the previous treatment, but directly punished him for treason, beheaded the whole family and showed it to the public, and then razed the three clans, not giving them a chance to be exiled at all.

These rebel generals are not only as simple as embezzling military salaries themselves, these people are located at the border, they marry many big families, and then collude with each other to form an alliance of interests.

At the same time, these people also secretly did business with the Huns and Xianbei people on the grassland, selling them a large amount of cloth, tea, salt, and even iron tools.

It can be said that the Xianbei people and the Huns on the grassland have grown stronger over the years, and these people have played an important role in it.

Originally, the trade between the imperial court and the Huns and Xianbei people in the steppe was controlled by the government, and transactions were carried out in fixed places every year. Tea, cloth, salt, sugar, and a small amount of iron tools given by the imperial court were sold to the Xiongnu and Xianbei people at several times the price.

The Xiongnu Xianbei people could not produce these things, and even if they knew that they were expensive, they could only admit it. The imperial court used this trade to suck the blood of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, weakening or delaying their strength.

As a result, for their own selfishness, these people sold a large amount of materials to the Xianbei and Xiongnu through the border army generals, and then exchanged them for war horses, cattle and sheep, fur, tendons and horns and other things.

The Xiongnu and Xianbei people obtained a large number of materials, and continued to grow in the bitter cold land of the grassland, and at the same time sold a large number of iron tools, which greatly improved the strength of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people.

You must know that in the past, the Huns did not even have a lot of knives, and bows and arrows were made of bone and stone. Not to mention the iron armor.

But in recent years, many of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people have begun to use iron arrows. Originally, the imperial court thought that they had obtained iron weapons from the Western Regions and Wusun, but they didn't expect it to be a thief!

For these traitors who eat inside and out, Wang Zhuo was furious in his heart, and forcibly ordered the three clans to be destroyed directly.
