When it comes to royal matters, it's a big deal.

Since it is a big thing, it can only be understood by God.

The officials are afraid that their official positions will not be guaranteed, although they want to find out why, but no one dares to investigate deeply.

The common people are concerned about the issue of eating themselves, and as for who will be the prince, it is a very secondary issue.

After such twists and turns, it is natural that big things become small things, and small things turn into nothing.

In the chaos, people come and go, and all kinds of rumors are endless, but no one can tell the strange things.

Even if some people are cleared, it is reasonable in the eyes of outsiders, and it should be the third prince Zhu Youying who is clearing the way for himself to inherit the throne.

Since ancient times, a son of heaven has been a courtier. The new king inherits the ancestral system, and he must use a group of his own people, and before that, erase some people, which is a very normal "unspoken rule of officialdom".

It is an indisputable fact that Hengyang Wangfu will definitely change its owner. As for who the new owner is, only God knows.

In fact, God is very busy, and he is not in the mood to care about the trivial things of you mortals, so God doesn't know what is going on in Hengyang Palace, and what bullshit happened in the end will be over.

Wei Guangxu, the governor of Huguang, was the one who wanted to find out what was going on in Hengzhou. But there were too many thieves in the north, and the army couldn't get out of it.

A deputy envoy was sent to offer condolences, but no one was seen except the chief eunuch Chen Jie.

Although I heard all kinds of rumors along the way, there was no evidence, and as a result, I could only report the hearsay when I returned to Xiangyang.

Wei Guangxu, the governor of Huguang, always felt that something was wrong, but every qiē was chasing after the wind and shadows, and there was no real evidence.

If you want to say that this Wei Guangxu really doesn't know whether to live or die, you should be responsible for exterminating the traitors in addition to leading the troops, and other things have nothing to do with you at all.

But Wei Guangxu is not like this, as the "Diweixing Bantam Tiger" in the Donglin Party, he must hand the emperor an excerpt and state his "brilliant opinions", for fear that the emperor will not know his "intelligence".

It is an open secret that the royal people swallowed the pill. Even if Zhu Changying swallowed the pill and died, it would be normal.

The most important thing is that for the vassal kings everywhere, it is one of the emperor's biggest heart diseases. Die one less or one, and it's better to die all at once.

Peng Wuying entered Beijing alone and shouldered a heavy responsibility, this is certain.

Although there are disturbances below, the death of King Gui, who has a heavy army, is just one less imperial uncle to contain him for Emperor Chongzhen, which is not a big deal.

If a sick man comes up to be the prince, at least there will be no hidden danger of supporting the army and openly rebelling.

Emperor Chongzhen was young and had his own independent opinions, perhaps more stubborn and paranoid. So he has his own independent opinions, and he is not a person who is willing to be ignored by others.

The Donglin Party controls the government and does whatever it wants, which is a thorn in the heart of the young emperor, as long as the Donglin Party grasps the problem, Emperor Chongzhen must resolutely suppress it.

Wei Guangxu is smart and must make the death of King Gui come to light, which is just contrary to Emperor Chongzhen's idea. As a result, instead of knocking down others, he put himself in it, which is really self-inflicted.

Because of this, Peng Wuying's trip seems to be dangerous, but in fact, it is a risky thing, and it is not as dangerous as imagined.

On the contrary, the current Miao Sanguan is very busy, so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, and he can't get along.

In the past, there was no territory, so naturally it was impossible to exert its strength, and many ideas could not be turned into reality.

Now that there is nominally the entire land of Huguang, that is, almost one-sixth of the country of the Ming Dynasty, of course, there are many troubles.

Miao Sanguan is not a person who is eager for quick success, let alone a person who is ambitious, so he sees the current situation very clearly.

It would be nice to be able to control the entire Huguang region, but it is absolutely unrealistic at the moment.

It was impossible to dig a well with a spade, so he decided to build two lines and form a strategic policy that was different from inside and outside.

Core area: Establish a solid absolute sphere of influence, which is completely at your own discretion and serve as a base for future development.

First of all, with the help of King Guiduan, an order was issued to transfer the general of Guiyang County to Changsha, and the new Zhang Chengzong took office and served as the commander of the general of Guiyang County.

The original 20,000-strong garrison guards were all disbanded on the spot, and all those who had families were discarded from the military and returned to farm.

After on-the-spot investigation, it was found that the border guards were all three generations of grandparents and grandchildren together, and the family was nearly 10 people. This did not meet the requirements, and of course all of them had to move out of the guard and establish a village in a designated place.

More than 3,600 people were transferred from the Nanshan secret military camp of Daguanbao, plus 360 people brought by Zhang Chengzong, to form the Nanda Battalion of 4,000 people in Hengzhou Mansion as the garrison of Guiyang County.

Establish a standing army, that is, a professional army, and reduce the strength of the garrison by three-fifths on the basis of the garrison guards. It is no longer a half-army and half-peasant, and it is dedicated to undertaking the combat mission of defending against the enemy within the territory.

Secondly, Kui Chu, the general of Yongzhou Mansion, because Peng Wuying found conclusive evidence of deducting military salaries and mutilating the people, Jinyi Weihu Guang General Manager transferred Chen Jie to immediately arrest and interrogate the crime, and directly beheaded the public in Yongzhou City, and the head was hung on the city gate.

Guan Datou was ordered to serve as the commander of the Yongzhou Mansion Guards, and the original 18,000 guards were disbanded on the spot using the same method, and they were resettled and farmed.

Yongzhou Mansion is the base camp of the Xiong Army, and all the craftsmen and craftsmen of more than 8,000 people are now concentrated around Daguan Fort, so Guan Datou was ordered to transfer 6,000 people from the secret military camp in Nanshan to form the West Battalion of Hengzhou Mansion.

With the momentum of Zhang Chengzong's South Camp and Guan Datou's West Camp, Miao Sanguan's third step is to reorganize the defenders of Hengyang City.

Originally, these armies were standing armies, that is, professional soldiers, with a total establishment of 7,200 men.

Because the generals Huang Chaoxuan and Jia Wei "fell to their deaths", Miao Sanguan ordered Hou Laoliu to serve as the commander of the generals, and comprehensively rectified the original 7,200 people, and all those who violated the military orders of the Xiong family army were severely punished.

The heavier sentence is imprisonment, and the lighter sentence is dismissal. After a month of hard fighting, the defenders of Hengyang only retained more than 1,300 people.

Miao Sanguan ordered Hou Laoliu to transfer 2,700 people from the secret military camp in Nanshan to form a 4,000-strong Hengyang Chinese army camp to undertake the garrison of Wangcheng.

The funeral of Zhu Changying, the king of Guiduan, was a time when people's minds changed and they were panicked.

Troubled times use heavy codes.

Miao Sanguan quickly cut through the mess, first turned all the surrounding troops into his own people, and established the iron triangle of Hengyang City, Yongzhou City, and Guiyang City, with a total strength of 14,000 people.

In order to strengthen the control of the jurisdiction, Miao Sanguan formed a flexible and mobile Imperial Forest Army, which is the most elite cavalry and archery unit. The total strength is 4,800 people, and the commander is Fang Qianxun.

The generals who led the troops were Zhou Chang, Zhou Xi, and Li Dingguo, three newly emerged young people, each leading 1,200 people. The remaining 1,200 people, controlled by Fang Qianxun himself, belonged to the guards of the palace.

The main body of these people is the Xiongjia Army Youth Battalion, which was formed in Yinping, Sichuan. The oldest soldier was less than nineteen years old, and the youngest was only fourteen. They are loyal to one person, and that is the great benefactor who saved their lives, Prince Xiong.

If someone heard someone say that Xiong Chu didn't say a word, these people would probably draw their swords and kill people on the spot.

Miao Sanguan knew that Xiong Chu must have his own ideas for bringing the junior battalion back, so this army was not dispersed and belonged to Xiong Chu's guards. The main task in normal times is to protect the palace and take care of some special tasks.

In the process of rectifying the counties in the Iron Triangle, the promotion of Chen Jie, the general manager of Jinyi Weihu Guang, played a huge role, and it was also the role that others did not dare to point fingers at, because he had a righteous and bright identity. Whoever dares to blow up a stab in front of Jinyiwei is impatient.

Li Dingguo was ordered to obey the command of the chief eunuch Chen Jie, and in a month's time, he attacked everywhere, and all the local officials of this party and that party, who had criminal records, and who were angry with the people, all arrested Hengyang City, and combed through all the thirteen counties in the Iron Triangle in one go.

Chen Jie unleashed the ten tortures of Jinyiwei in one go, which not everyone could afford, and naturally handled all the cases with ironclad evidence.

Miao Sanguan represented Guiduan Wang Enwei and Shi, and a group of students who did not belong to any party and were all local students, after being ordered by the ear, took over the civil affairs of the thirteen counties, and then all the county orders were replaced by their own people.

When Xiong Chu was running back and forth in Fancheng, Xinye, Dengzhou, and Xiangyang, and launched an attack on the Quanzhen Sect and Shaolin Temple, Miao Sanguan, Peng Wuying, and Chen Jie, but the three of them made a big fight at home, and took the thirteen counties without losing a single soldier or general.

The things outside have been dealt with almost completely, and the things inside the royal city have also been put on the agenda.

The Inner Guard is still a women's barracks, which has been merged with a women's barracks, 3,600 men. The commander and deputy commander are Hu Meiniang and Han Bingru, and the two sisters Wanying and Wanqing each led 1,200 troops.

According to Miao Sanguan's order, the defense of the palace was divided into two layers. The outer layer is Fang Qianxun's Royal Forest Army, and the inner layer is the female barracks of Hu Meiniang and Han Bingru.

Lan'er, Yuan Liqing, Miao Ruolan, Wu Tenglan, Xiong Cuiyun, Xiong Yue'e, these little girls, all live in Chuxiu Palace for the time being, and Hu Meiniang and twelve members of the White Phoenix Guards also live here, which can be regarded as secret bodyguards.

The East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace are empty, and the Kunning Palace, which is the residence of the princess, is even more empty.

Outside the south gate of the inner city is the ancestral temple to the east, and the altar of heaven is to the west.

After sending all the condolence personnel away, the palace completely became its own world, and the people in the inner court could finally come out and walk around, but they were walked to the ancestral temple by the "princess" Wu Damiang.

Aunt Wu was originally a lady of everyone, and she has been in charge of Wujiapo for more than 20 years, and the so-called well-informed, she soon discovered a serious problem.

"Manager Miao, the son is already a big man, and the big wedding should be on the agenda. Once the son gets married, he will definitely worship the ancestors of heaven and earth. Is it my son-in-law's ancestor in the ancestral temple now? Not at all. In this case, what are these tablets still for, hurry up and take them out and find a place to burn them!"

Not to mention, Miao Sanguan has been so busy lately that he really forgot about this important matter.

Now that the "princess" Aunt Wu suddenly brought it up, Miao Sanguan suddenly sweated: "What the ancestor said is that this is all my negligence, and I will do it immediately." ”

Aunt Wu waved her hand: "The brands inside are burned, but the ancestral tablet can't be empty, right? ”

Aunt Wu's words were reasonable, so Prince Xiong naturally wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and then pulled out a big mess of things.
