Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 24 Death List

In Jiyi Hall, looking at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and shouting in unison, Zhu Qiyu nodded vaguely.

At this time, the stability of the military heart is the most important!
In particular, the ministers present were basically high-ranking ministers of the third rank or above, and some of them were also high-ranking officials who were in charge of the affairs of one side of the yamen.

If they panic, the people below will only panic even more.

At that time, I am afraid that they will collapse first before they call.

"Everyone, please wake up..."

Raising his hand to let these ministers get up and take their seats, Zhu Qiyu spoke again.

"Yu Qian, you continue."

The eyes of all the ministers instantly converged on Yu Qian's body, and their expressions were very complicated.

The weight of this military newspaper is really too heavy...

It's so important that Yu Qian started to announce it. So far, it has been the third time that it has been interrupted and started again.

This is rare among the civil servants who attach great importance to the rules of the court meeting.

After the first two interruptions of Yu Qian, one announced the casualties, and the other announced that the emperor had been taken captive.

At this time, the ministers were really afraid that he would speak again and say something that everyone could not accept.

But probably not anymore.

The emperor has been kidnapped, what could be more unacceptable than this?
Yu Qian got up, took out the military newspaper and continued to speak.

"The civil war, the military report has ended. Next, is the list of the deaths of the accompanying ministers..."

Well, this is not good news either.

But after the baptism of the terrible news of the collapse of the army and the capture of the emperor, the ministers present said that this is nothing.
Some regained their composure, their minds were dexterous, and even their ears perked up.

Although thinking like this is against the way of a saint, don't forget that the honorable ministers accompanying this time are all important officials of the court.

in other words.

This list of deaths determines how many pits will be vacated by the court.

This is something that is closely related to all the ministers present. Naturally, all of them held their breath and listened.

Yu Qian's voice was dry and without a trace of emotion.

"In this battle, the list of the dead ministers who have been verified is as follows."

The first to announce is the list of Xun Qi Wuchen.

Because it was a war, this time the emperor basically took away Qi Wuchen, who was famous in Beijing.

Therefore, in this discussion, there are very few Xun Qi Wuchen present.

The leaders were Cheng'an Hou Guo Sheng and Xincheng Uncle Zhao Rong, who were in charge of the affairs of the Central Army Governor's Mansion and the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion respectively.

The Son of Heaven personally marched, and basically all those who could fight and fight were taken away.

These two were pulled out and temporarily acted as the affairs of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion.

Originally, when the emperor returned to Beijing, these two went home to be their own idle heroes, but now that the heroes have suffered heavy casualties, they can only be the two of them in the court's discussions.

Further down is the real power.

The two lords are not too young, so although they are nominally acting as the governor of the Fifth Army, they are actually just names.

To be specific, it was Wu Xing, the governor of the Central Army who followed him, and Tao Jin, the commander of the Zuo Army.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no forbidden army in the traditional sense, and there were roughly three kinds of armed forces to guard the capital.

One is the Jingying, which is affiliated to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. It is responsible for guarding the safety of the capital. It is the most powerful army in Gyeonggi, and it is also the one with the heaviest losses in this civil engineering campaign.

The status of Jingying is rather special.

Although nominally under the jurisdiction of the Five Armies Governor's Office, in fact, because of the responsibility of guarding the safety of the capital.

Therefore, most of the time, the emperor appointed ministers of nobles and relatives above the count.

Moreover, similar to the rank of Wenchen, the ministers of honor and Qi in charge of the Beijing camp will generally increase the position of the right governor of the five army governor's office.

This time, due to a special situation, the one who was temporarily in charge of the Beijing camp was the consort Jiao Jing.

In addition to Jingying, there is also the commander of the Jingwei, commonly known as the Imperial Army, also known as the commander of the pro-military capital.

This part of the official army is responsible for guarding the safety of the palace. The composition is relatively complicated, but the main part is the Shangzhi 26 guards directly under the emperor.

Now in Beijing, the person acting for the affairs of the Jingwei Commander and Envoy Division is the commander-in-chief Zhang Hao.

These five or six, plus Ma Shun, the commander of Jinyiwei who was not present today, are basically all the ministers in Beijing who can call the shots among the honorable and military ministers today.

I have to say, compared with the civil servants who still seem to be in Wuyang and Wuyang...

It's really pitiful!
In addition to the Jingying and Jingwei commanding and envoys, the capital also has a military force, which is the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses under the Ministry of War.

However, this force is not an army. It is responsible for patrolling thieves, ditching streets and ditches, prisoners, and fire bans, but it cannot be counted in the military officials.

"Taishi British Duke Zhang Fu, Taining Hou Chen Ying, Consort Jing Yuan, Pingxiang Uncle Chen Huai, Xiangcheng Uncle Li Zhen, Suian Uncle Chen Xun, Xiuwu Uncle Shen Rong, and the Central Military Governor's Office Governor Liang Cheng, Wang Gui, Governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Office..."

Although it is only a name, but Chengan Hou Guosheng and Xincheng Uncle Zhao Rong, listened to Yu Qian's expressionless words, they couldn't help but feel a pain in their hearts.

You know, Xunqi and Wenchen are different.

Although Xunqi is a hereditary replacement, except for the founding of the country and Jingnan, there are few opportunities to enshrine Xunqi on a large scale.

In the past few years, in addition to the titles sealed by the emperor's big marriage, only a few veterans who have fought rebellions and made great military achievements have been awarded titles.

It can be said that Xun Qi has so many families!
This time, at least half of them died, and there was still the Dinghai Shenpin, the British public servant Zhang Fu!
You must know that the emperor went out to fight, and he naturally took away young heroes who could fight.

When these people died, those who remained in the capital were either old people in their 60s or [-]s like the two of them, or children in their teens who had just become princes.

Over the years, Xun Qi has been suppressed, and now that so many backbones who can carry things have died, it is simply worse, what a miserable word.

Let's take a look at the large group of civil servants who are still in Wuyang and Wuyang...

The two couldn't help but look at each other and sighed.

It's still these Wenchens!

Every three years, a large group of jinshi pours in.

It's like cutting leeks.

Wave after wave, I can't finish cutting...

But they feel sorry for them.

The Wenchen present did not care much about the list of Xun Qi's casualties.

At least, most people don't care much.

Wenchen and Xunqi were originally two opposing groups.

In the eyes of the civil servants, eight out of ten of these nobles and dignitaries were court moths, and the more they died, the better.

Of course, they were referring to being investigated by the imperial court!
The elders still expressed their indignation at being killed by the thieves.

But it doesn't stop there.

To say that I feel distressed and unbearable...it doesn't exist!
The civil servants wish they were all dead.

After reading the long list, the faces of the two honorable officials were as white as paper.

After a short period of incense sticks, Yu Qian paused for a while and continued to speak.

"The above are the victims of honor, Qi and Wuchen. Next, the list of the confirmed victims is the accompanying civil ministers and middle officials and inner ministers..."
