Daming heir

Chapter 142 This autumn is not peaceful

Autumn has come.

The weather is gradually cooling down, which can be seen from the fact that there are fewer people buying iced food in front of the four Chang's shops in the city.

However, in the court hall, the past few days have been very difficult.

A few days ago, the emperor's grandson was the first time to supervise the country, and the emperor suddenly decreed that hundreds of officials from the court were arrested. Now Jinyiwei Zhao Prison is already overcrowded.

Everyone is waiting for how the emperor will deal with these people in the end.

However, what we waited for was news that a certain courtier was suddenly arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Zhao Prison every day.

Some were in the yamen, while they were dealing with business, they were taken away by the Jin Yiwei who came to the door.

Some of them drank and ate at home, and were taken away before their stomachs were full.

There are even several courtiers who heard that when they were contributing to the population of the Ming Dynasty at home, they were abruptly taken away by Jin Yiwei who kicked open the door of the house.

I don't know if the population of the Ming Dynasty will drop sharply because of this.

Under such circumstances, everyone in the court is in danger, lest they will be taken away at any time.

Before the conclusion of the matter was reached, everyone was worried. They didn't feel how cool this early autumn was, on the contrary, it became even hotter.

The physical condition of the prince is still unknown to outsiders.

The emperor is still sick, and every court meeting in the court hall is presided over by the emperor's grandson Jian Guo.

There were even rumors in the market, saying that the emperor and the crown prince had become seriously ill and could not be recovered.

And the people in the court are being arrested every day, because these people are secretly plotting wrongdoing.

It's just that amidst such panic, the generals are extraordinarily happy.

They get together on time every day, discussing that yesterday, that cynical civil servant was arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Zhao Prison.

As a result, during this period of time, Jin Yiwei often appeared at the gate, and would go the wrong way to the founding hero and general of the army.

The military generals were watching the excitement, but they were also happy and sad.

Liang Guo Gongfu.

In the past few days, the door has been closed and no outsiders have been seen.

After entering the mansion, it is hard to see the scenes of Liang Guogong Lan Yu's adoptive sons and personal soldiers practicing and fighting in the past.

Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, who has been punished for a whole hundred sticks, has been depressed recently.

Today, like the previous few days, I moved a chair and sat on the edge of the empty martial arts arena.

There is a cup of herbal tea beside her, which fits well with this early autumn.

Lan Chun walked over from the front and saw his father sitting on the chair with a lonely face, staring blankly at the exquisite weapon rack.

With a low sigh, he walked to Lan Yu's side: "Father, Marquis Jing Chuan asked someone to ask if you want to go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion."

The Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies and Jinyiwei's yamen are on the same street, and several yamen are open opposite each other.

Lan Yu's eyes were a little dazed, she turned her head and said, "I'm alone now, why go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion?"

The emperor's grandson, nephew and grandson beat him!

In front of so many courtiers, he beat himself a hundred times!
Now that Chang Sen has taken on the job of guarding the Imperial Army, the Chang family has once again prospered.On the side of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, many people's minds must have been moved.

Lan Yu only felt that everyone had benefited from the emperor's grandson supervising the country, but she was the one who was left out in the cold.

Lan Chun's face was stiff, and he said in a low voice: "Father, didn't my son tell you. This is the first time the emperor's grandson has taken power, and His Majesty trusts you, so he used you as a play to frighten the courtiers."

"Then Yun... the grandson of the emperor doesn't have to send my adoptive sons and soldiers to the frontier!" Lan Yu shouted dissatisfied.

Lan Chun hurriedly looked around, and then whispered: "Father, you are on the edge of a dead end. Think about it, if the emperor and grandson supervise the country now, if the righteous brothers will be like the past...the past..."

He wanted to say that the group of people who were adopted by Lan Yu as adopted sons used to rely on the name of Duke Liang to cause trouble in the city.

At that time, because of Sapphire, His Majesty never gave any punishment.

But now that the emperor's grandson has also begun to supervise the country, if the Lan family no longer understands the rules, what will the courtiers think?Will the emperor's grandson have to punish the Lan family more severely?
Seeing Lan Yu still can't get up the energy.

Lan Chun rolled his eyes, and whispered: "Father, the righteous brothers went to Kaipingwei, have you forgotten? Kaipingwei is just north of Beiping City..."

"Peking..."

Peking!

Lan Yu's eyes suddenly brightened, and she turned to look at Lan Chun excitedly.

He grabbed Lan Chun's arm: "Is that really the case?"

Lan Chun nodded, not daring to say more.

However, Lan Yu gradually regained her previous look, and kept chanting the word Beiping.

In the past, he often spoke up next to the crown prince, claiming that Yan Wangdi had a heart of treason, but the crown prince, as an elder brother, could be said to have watched Yan Wang grow up. advice.

Lan Yu admitted that she had many disagreements with King Yan when she went to the north, but she also saw King Yan's ambitions, and she was worried that something that should not happen in the kingdom would happen.

Now, after Lan Chun's reminder.

He suddenly realized.

Lan Yu excitedly said: "In this way, the grandson of the emperor and a certain person have the same opinion?"

Lan Chun nodded: "The prince doesn't want to think this way, but the prince is always so kind and treats his younger brothers like brothers and sisters. But the emperor's grandson probably thinks differently, after all... the person in the north has a lot of money in his hands. They are all heavily armed."

While talking, Lan Chun looked at his father who was becoming more and more excited, and he couldn't help but have other worries in his heart.

I had to say again: "It's just that this is all my son's guess. After all, the emperor's grandson is now seeing how heroic he is, and he has become more and more proficient in just a few days in charge of the court. All of them have outstanding abilities, and there will be righteousness in the future, so it is unlikely that anything will happen."

"Hmph!" Lan Yu snorted coldly: "It's still the emperor's grandson who dares to act boldly. The commander-in-chief has finally come to his senses. You can take it straight away!"

For a while, Sapphire returned to being the unruly and mighty general of the dynasty, and she wished that she would be dispatched to Kaipingwei.

Looking at his father's behavior, Lan Chun could only smile dryly from the sidelines.

……

It was different from the scene in Liang Guogong's mansion.

In the Youjun Dudu's Mansion, probably because the Youjun Dudu's Mansion is directly opposite the Jinyiwei Yamen.

In the past few days, there are always many people gathered in the Dudu Mansion every day.

Below is a military general who was born in Huaiyou, such as Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen, who made great contributions to the founding of the country.

Cao Zhen and the others opened their eyes from time to time to look outside the Governor's Mansion to see if the Jinyiwei Yamen on the opposite side continued to arrest people today.

The face is full of anticipation.

Only Chang Sheng, the founding father who was sitting on top, had an extremely calm expression on his face.

He always felt that something big was going to happen to the imperial court, and Jinyiwei was arresting people in batches these days, could it really be possible to lock these people up in Zhao Prison for a lifetime?

One must know that these days, the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards involved in the Xuanwumen Incident have been implicated by the three clans one after another, and their heads fell to the ground outside Yingtian City.

If you count the servants in the East Palace who were bestowed to death, and the heads of Jiang Xiahou Zhou's family in Zhongdu, you can count them carefully.

In just a few days, thousands of heads have fallen to the ground.

So, can the head of the Jinyiwei yamen still be kept?
Jing Chuan Hou Cao Zhen waited for a long time, but did not wait until Jin Yiwei continued to arrest people today, finally sighed in disappointment, patted the armrest and fell back to his seat.

"Why didn't you arrest people today!"

He sighed and cried out in great regret.

Chang Sheng coughed lightly. Under the gaze of the crowd, the always generous Duke finally showed a rare expression of dissatisfaction.

This sudden change made Cao Zhen and the others quickly restrain their minds, and sat up straight in their seats, with their hands down and their chests out, not daring to be frivolous.

Chang Sheng glanced at the people present, and warned in words: "Troublesome autumn! Troubled autumn! Do you really think that if Jin Yiwei takes people all day long, you will be safe and peaceful?"

No one dared to speak.

On the contrary, Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen curled his lips, feeling somewhat disapproving.

Chang Sheng glared: "Jing Chuanhou! You should pray that these people who were taken into Jinyiwei can come out alive! Otherwise, if so many civil servants in the court died, do you think that just a few people here will really have their butts clean?" Net, there is no problem at all!"

Cao Zhen thought for a while, and said, "We didn't do anything, so why should His Majesty ask the crime?"

Chang Sheng snorted twice: "I'm just reminding you that if there is a problem, you'd better go to His Majesty to ask for your guilt."

Cao Zhen was still somewhat disapproving.

Chang Sheng looked at the crowd, seeing that most of these people were like this, he felt more and more helpless.

He had no choice but to open his mouth and say: "Just to remind you, there was a decree from the palace to send out last night."

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately attracted the attention of Cao Zhen and others.

Chang Sheng snorted and said: "It was sent to the central capital and the frontiers. Your Majesty intends to let Tangli (li), the youngest son of Duke Xin, come to court and return to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. He will be in charge of the guards of the Imperial Army with Chang Sen. I think you should know."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions finally moved slightly.

Xin Guogong has five legitimate sons, the eldest, the third, and the fourth died in battle or died young.The second child's talent is not obvious, and now he is serving in the army in Taiyuan.

Only this old and young Tang Li is the most capable and has the style of soup and harmony.

A few years ago, he was still in Beijing and served in the governor's office of the five armies, but in the past few years he was in charge of the troops in the border areas.

Now he has been recalled to Huitian, returned to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and will be in charge of the guards of the Imperial Army with Chang Sen.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

The emperor wanted to balance Yingtian's military power and prevent the Chang family from becoming dominant.

Although in the past, Duke Xin Guo mostly led the army as a lieutenant general, but among those who are still alive in the court, Tang He can be regarded as one of the rare founding veterans.

The Chang family is now the emperor's grandson's uncle's family, so there is nothing wrong with being the leader of the Yingtian City Army.

And Tangli's entry into Beijing, combined with the matter of the emperor's grandson's marriage to the Tang family...

The emperor's father had long thought of today, to use the Tang family to balance the Chang family, so that the relatives of the Chang family would not be the only ones around the emperor's grandson.

Well calculated!
Silently, everyone present sighed in their hearts.

At the same time, he understood Chang Sheng's previous warning.

These people, who have followed Liang Guogong all these years, can be regarded as the meritorious service of the generals of King Kaiping.

And with Tang Li entering Beijing, the Xin Guogong line of the army, as well as those generals who have nothing to rely on, will inevitably approach the past involuntarily.

Well, if they take the lead at this time, perhaps the old man Emperor will suppress them in order to support the Tang family.

For a while, the governor's mansion became quiet.

Chang Sheng snorted twice, glanced at everyone, and then said calmly: "Be quiet, if someone in the family is unruly, report it to the government as soon as possible.

In recent years, your family seems to have gained a lot of land in the area, so you should clear it when it is time to clear it.

Don't forget that in the past few years, His Majesty used the power of thunder to cleanse me of the strength and iron blood of Huaiyou's meritorious deeds. "

Following what he said, Cao Zhen and the others couldn't help but tremble, and they were already thinking about going home and sending someone to check if someone in the family was relying on him to bully the people in the local area.

But Chang Sheng still didn't finish, and continued: "There is one more thing, I heard that the emperor's grandson had a remonstrance to set up other armies besides the guards of the five armies' governor's mansion and the personal guards of the Shangzhi imperial army.

Named the new army, practicing new battle formations.The scale will not be too large, but it also shows that the emperor's grandson does not want to see me alone in the army. "

At this point, Chang Sheng finally finished speaking, and took a light sip of tea.

Cao Zhen and the others were speechless, and they also hadn't seen the arrest of Jin Yiwei from the other side.

Several people got up straight away, facing Chang Sheng and clasped their fists.

"My lord, I will take my leave first."

"Grandpa, a certain general remembers that there are still some things at home, so he will go back."

Chang Sheng nodded in agreement one by one, regardless of whether any of these people skipped work or not.

Taking a sip of tea lightly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Recalling last night, I received a letter from the emperor's grandson in the palace.

There are only two words on the letter.

Merit!
