Prince of Chaos

Chapter 324 I'm inseparable from sin
After Li Chengliang left, Zhu Changluo thought about the execution of Shi Xing and couldn't let Li Chengliang do it alone.

After all, he was the first official who became a military attache full-time civilian. If he was allowed to do this alone, the difficult situation he would face in the future would be unimaginable.

Originally, the civil servant group was extremely concerned about this matter. If Li Chengliang killed his predecessor again, it might really be a taboo.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo immediately ordered Wei Zhongxian to invite the three cabinet elders to Ciqing Palace.

When Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping arrived, Zhu Changluo directly handed over Li Chengliang's indictment to Shen Shixing and others.

"Three gentlemen, please take a look. This is the detailed record of the corruption case in Jizhen found by the Minister of War."

Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue looked at each other the same way. They both knew that Zhu Changluo had advocated Li Chengliang to be Minister of the Ministry of War at the beginning, and the purpose was to serve Liaodong.

As for the matter in Ji Town, in their view, it was purely a incidental incident.

Therefore, when they heard Zhu Changluo talk about the corruption in Ji Town, the three of them actually didn't take it seriously.

After all, corruption is already a common occurrence in today's officialdom, even if the three of them can still receive the filial piety of the local governor and the officials of the frontier from time to time.

Therefore, corruption has long been tacit and rotten to the bone.

However, since the crown prince mentioned this matter, the three of them have to express their views no matter what, otherwise, it is impossible to say.

Shen Shixing and the other three took a stack of notebooks that Li Chengliang presented to Zhu Changluo respectively.

Shen Shixing opened it and took a look. His reading speed was very fast, almost at the speed of ten lines at a glance, but after looking at him, his speed slowed down, and, between his temples, faintly appeared Beads of sweat.

The same is true for Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping. Obviously, they were shocked by the content of the memorial in their hands.

This is no longer the corruption and corruption they imagined, it has almost reached the point of digging the grave of the empire!

Although the three of them can't be considered to have a deep understanding of the harm of the guard, they generally know it.

They also know that the current guard has long since collapsed, and the guards and military households have long been the private property of those hereditary generals. Although they lamented this situation, they never thought of changing it.Instead, I have been holding on to muddling along, living my life in a state of mending.

What's more, they also believe that in addition to the guard system, the imperial court also implemented a recruitment system, just like the Zhejiang soldiers that are now flooding all over the Ming Dynasty, which is a clear proof.

As for why Daming likes to use Zhejiang soldiers as the first choice for the recruitment system, the biggest reason lies in Qi Jiguang and others.

During the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates repeatedly invaded the southeast coast, and what was even more frightening was that they even attacked Nanjing, and left a trace of a bird bullet on a plaque that Zhu Yuanzhang once inscribed with an imperial pen.

This is simply a disgrace!
Therefore, at that time, the imperial court really hated and feared the Japanese pirates!There is nothing to do about it.

It was also when the imperial court was in a state of desperation, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other famous anti-Japanese generals turned out!They took the miners they had recruited in Yiwu, Zhejiang, and began to train the new anti-Japanese army, and this army was the army known as the Qi Family Army by later generations.

It was also their repeated victories against the Japanese pirates that made them particularly dazzling in the military system of the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Even the literati and civil officials who have always despised military and military officers can't help but look at them with admiration.

Therefore, as long as the imperial court had a tough battle to fight, these civil servants immediately thought of recruiting Zhejiang people who had made great military exploits for Qi Jiguang as soldiers.

They subconsciously thought that Zhejiang soldiers were the strongest troops at that time!

In fact, they completely ignore a crucial issue.

That's the importance of army discipline and army training!
It is not the Zhejiang people who are really strong, but Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's military training methods and military discipline!
The reason for such a conclusion is that in the original historical time and space, in the late Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan used Qi Jiguang’s military books left by Qi Jiguang as a literati to train the Hunan Army, making him a No. .1.

It can be seen that real training and discipline are the magic weapon for the army!
Therefore, in the hearts of the civil officials represented by Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, etc., even if the guards collapsed, as long as the Zhejiang soldiers were still there, it would be fine.

But today, the Li Chengliang collection they saw found the crimes in Jizhen, and they finally understood the terrible consequences of the corruption of the Ming army!
"Three gentlemen, have you finished reading?"

After a while, Zhu Changluo asked.

After Shen Shixing heard Zhu Changluo's voice, the bodies of the three couldn't help trembling, and then replied: "I'm done reading."

Listening to their answers, Zhu Changluo nodded slightly, and then said, "What do the three gentlemen think? You can talk to Gu freely."

Hearing Zhu Changluo asked them to tell them, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Wang Jiaping couldn't help but panicked.

If this matter is purely a matter of the military officers, these three people must have said without any surprise, the words of killing the nine clans and making a decisive decision.

However, in this crime, the three of them clearly saw that there were not a few civil officials involved, especially Ma Wenqing, the patrol censor, and Shi Xing, the former minister of the Ministry of War. Places cannot be ignored.

Especially Shi Xing, although he was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice because of the case of lowering the cost of the list, but because of his identity and status, he did not receive any inhuman abuse in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

On the contrary, he was in the same place as if he was thinking behind closed doors. He also enjoyed the treatment of a single room and special small stove meals. The decree of grace can directly pardon him.

However, looking at it now, especially the Crown Prince's attitude, both Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue understood that the Crown Prince was going to be serious this time, otherwise, he would not have called all the three elders in the cabinet.

Obviously, this is for the three of them to stand together and express their views.

Shen Shixing took a deep breath, and bowed to Zhu Changluo, "Your Highness, please investigate and withdraw the case thoroughly, no matter who is involved, you will never tolerate it!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Shixing looked at Zhu Changluo's suspicious gaze towards him, felt guilty, and then suddenly said: "I will not share the sky with evil!"

After hearing Shen Shixing's words, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping also immediately echoed: "I will never die with evil!"

After listening to the statement of the three giants in the cabinet, Zhu Changluo was stunned for a moment. This sentence sounded very familiar, as if he had seen it in some movie.
