Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 72 Aftermath 4
Dongjiang Rice Lane, all the yamen have become a mess.

Throughout the dynasties, civil servants feared mutiny the most.If you encounter a civil servant planning a mutiny, it’s okay, and your own people are reasonable after all, but if you encounter such a stubborn military leader or peasant, you will probably be boiled.

"Who led the rebellion?"

"I heard it's the Fenwu Camp, anyway, there's already blood in the camp!"

"The latest news I got is the martial arts training camp. They seem to want to help the king seize the door!"

"The brains of these grandsons have been trapped by the door? Back then, if the late emperor really wanted to abolish the royal family, could a servant stop it?"

"This news is wrong. King Xing is not qualified to seize the door. I heard that he was brave enough to create a rebellion. Now he has killed people on the street!"

……

Due to the variety of sources of information, it is inevitable that there will be exaggerated and imaginary rumors, which caused the officials who had heard the "reverse" to be pale and trembling with fear.

Rebellion, murder, military disaster, burning and looting, massacre of cities...

Bad words kept flashing past, tormenting these imaginative civil servants.

Don't look at them showing off their military might, because they have read a few military books and often call themselves military masters, but when they learned that there was a military disaster in Beijing, they immediately thought about how to run away.

"Don't listen to the wind and the rain, just go back to the yamen office and stay there!" Fortunately, the senior officials of the yamen are still calm, but one after another stepped forward to preside over the overall situation.

Li Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Du Ming, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, vaguely guessed what was going on, so they personally stood up to restrain the officials in their yamen, resolutely as if nothing had happened.

But facing the high-ranking officials who came out to stop the rumours, some officials who watched all directions and listened to all directions murmured, "The Ministry of Rites has run away!"

Ni Yue, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, while Huang Jing, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhou Hongmo, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, had returned home to live idle because of their participation in spreading rumors about the waste storage.

With the closing of the city gates of the Beijing City and the Imperial City, and the fact that there were no rebels killing people in the street, on the contrary, the soldiers and horses of the Wucheng City had already maintained order on the West Chang'an Avenue, and many officials gradually calmed down. down.

Although the rebels are terrifying, this is the imperial capital after all.Even if someone really wants to lead the army to rebel, the Beijing city and the imperial city here can be regarded as impregnable walls, and the loyalty of the soldiers of the Beijing army is the highest.

As long as it is handled properly, just like Cao Qin's mutiny back then, there will be no disturbance at all.

"Rumors only stop with the wise. This time, the commanders of the three Beijing camps refused to accept His Majesty's sending eunuchs to take over and caused trouble!"

"Trouble? As far as I know, someone has already beheaded the eunuch who was sent to take charge of the army. If this is not a rebellion, what is it?"

"If the imperial decree is not followed, I think some people in the army have already rebelled, and the Beijing army will have to rectify it!"

"If you want to rectify, this official thinks that the twelve wine bags and rice bags should be rectified, and all twelve of them went home to catch up on sleep!"

……

Many officials have gradually calmed down. After confirming that it was not the war pot they had imagined, Dang even pointed their finger at the troublesome Beijing camp commander and the twelve military admirals.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

"I respectfully invite you to be safe!" Zhu Ji and Mou Bin came in together to face the saint, and saluted Zhu Youtang respectfully.

Zhu Youtang seldom had contact with Jin Yiwei, so he cut to the chase and said, "Saint Gong'an! Today, the martial arts camp, the Guokang camp and the Yangwei camp are resisting the edict. The small commanders will not be so rampant. Your Beizhen Fusi will immediately investigate and follow these three A person who is in close contact with the commander will definitely find out all the black hands behind the scenes!"

This……

Zhu Ji and Mou Bin secretly exchanged glances, but they knew that if they started with these three commanders, then the fire would probably spread to the intricate network of relationships within the civil official group.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were only general soldiers who were demoted or beheaded for offending civil servants. I have never heard of a general soldier who was killed because of offending Wu Xun.

Now the generals of the Beijing Army are not stupid, so naturally they want to hug the thickest thighs, and it is impossible for them to be promoted and titled by their own insecure martial arts.

Zhu Ji is over fifty years old, after all, he has experienced many years of ups and downs, and these first things are naturally left to the young people, so he gave Mou Bin a wink.

Mou Bin is a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He also got a glimpse of Zhu Youtang's careful thoughts, so he dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the [-]th Regiment Battalion has always been a personal guard, and has absolute respect for Your Majesty. Loyalty! This time, some senior generals in the battalion should be upset because they resisted the eunuch's command of the army in their hearts, and I am afraid there is no mastermind behind this matter!"

Liang Fang frowned, but she silently looked at this face-to-face guard in brocade clothes.

"Mu Qian, when did you join Jinyiwei?" Zhu Youtang looked at this decent looking face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and asked very calmly.

Mou Bin's eyes flashed with pride, and he responded truthfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the humble job is to join Jinyiwei in the 21st year of Chenghua, and hereditary to hundreds of households!"

"It took three years to be promoted from Jinyi Baihu to Zhengsi Rank. The road to Yuqian was too smooth and rushed, and I didn't know how to kneel! You go back to the position of Baihu, no matter how good you are." I hope that when we meet next time, I will remember to lower your head even more, I don't like it!" Zhu Youtang didn't feel angry, but gave serious advice.

Liang Fang turned her head to look at Zhu Youtang, her eyes welled up with tears, and found that the current new emperor was slowly transforming into a real emperor.

The road to Yuqian is too smooth?
Take another good walk?
Remember if your head is lowered, I don't like it?

Zhu Ji's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he seemed to be cautiously swallowing and spitting, while silently lowering his head a little more.

In the earlier information, the wardrobe prince is a very tolerant person. Not only does he never punish those around him, but he will listen to other people's suggestions seriously.

It's just that all the previous information was invalid at this moment. Even the arbitrarily arbitrary Emperor Chenghua had a tolerant side, but the new emperor ruined Mou Bin's pursuit and the efforts of the people behind it just because of Mou Bin's words.

The dignified fourth-rank guard in Jinyi, everyone recognized as the most capable candidate to succeed him, but now he was beaten back to his original shape by a word from the new king.

What would be the result if you just opened your mouth?

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, knowing that it would also be a very terrible consequence, and the new monarch in front of him was simply a bird of prey.

The corners of Mou Bin's mouth opened slightly, but he quickly mustered up his courage and said: "Your Majesty, I am not convinced. This journey of my minister is... It is the accumulation of military merits and promotion, not the result of stealing and cheating. Please take it back!"

"Your Majesty, he was promoted to Jinyiwei just because of merit, and Wynn personally asked for credit for him!" Liang Fang reminded with a smile as if thinking of something.

Mou Bin's eyes lit up immediately, and Dang Li nodded hastily and said, "That's right, I've found out that Mr. Huai's house was... stolen!"

Zhu Ji's head was even lower, this time it wasn't because of Zhu Youtang's words just now, but because he didn't realize that there was a pig kneeling next to him at all, thanks to those people who have been pushing this person to succeed him.

"Commander Zhu, your head is too low!" Zhu Youtang was not interested in how Mou Bin came up, but reminded Zhu Ji who was almost sticking his head to the ground.

Zhu Ji thought that the new emperor had hidden it so deeply in the past, and felt that those officials who despised the new emperor were harmed by his information, so he couldn't help but feel his hairs bursting out: "I'm terrified, I'm here!"

"My patience for investigating you is limited! If you can't handle such a small matter, Jin Yiwei has tens of thousands of people, and I don't believe that I can't find anyone who can do it!" Although Zhu Youtang didn't plan to get rid of Zhu Ji, he Choose to tap tunnel.

Zhu Ji knew that the new emperor might be ten times more difficult to serve than the previous emperor, so he bit the bullet and said: "I obey, and I will investigate the mastermind behind this rebellion!"

"Back off!" Zhu Youtang didn't want to waste too much time on these two people, Dang even waved his hands again and again.

The Forbidden City is already on alert, so entering and exiting the palace gates is very complicated.

Mou Bin's spirit and elegance disappeared, and Zhu Youtang's words just now kept echoing in his mind.When I looked back at the head of the palace that I had walked through, it was obvious that I had just walked through it, but this palace road became so far away.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the palace gate had been opened, Zhu Ji reminded Mou Bin who had been demoted back to Jinyi Baihu.

Mou Bin looked back at the palace road leading to Fengtianmen full of nostalgia. Obviously this palace road was so far away from him, but he wanted to walk it again in his heart - because this palace road is indeed the most in the world. The beautiful palace road, the emperor at the end of the palace road is the most powerful king in the world.

It was midday, and the entire Meridian Gate Square was shrouded in sunlight.

"Brother Shang De, what did your majesty just say?" Yu Zijun, Minister of the Ministry of War, has been waiting here for news, and when he saw Zhu Ji coming out of the face, he pulled him aside to ask.

Zhu Ji was well aware of the value of a Minister of the Ministry of War, so he decided to save him and said, "Your Majesty wants to investigate the officials who have close contacts with the Commander of the Third Battalion. You'd better pay attention, and don't have anything to do with these three people!"

"I'll deal with this matter right away, I won't thank you for your kindness!" Yu Zijun immediately made a decision in his heart, and he patted Zhu Ji's arm gratefully as a gesture of intimacy.

Zhu Ji knew that Yu Zijun would be able to save himself, so he invited with a smile, "Your Majesty is watching now, let's get together after this matter is over!"

"At that time, I will be the host at home, and I will definitely make my brothers happy!" Yu Zijun knew that he could escape this disaster, so he patted Zhu Ji on the shoulder again and said happily.

Just at this time, a fast horse came from a distance, and the person on the horse looked very happy and said: "Master Yu, save me!"

Yu Zijun was excited that he had successfully found a way to avoid this catastrophe, but when he saw the person coming, a hundred grass-mud horses galloped past in his heart.
