Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty The Capital

Chapter 520 Beijing

Emperor Jiajing was quite proud of this mutiny controlling the situation in the capital. The participant's Eunuch Rui was even more excited. No one expected that the real situation would be like this. After a few questions from Lu Bing, he realized that the situation around him was so critical.

There were exaggerated words in the past, saying that they were walking on the blade, describing a dangerous situation. Jiajing felt this now. It was originally the case that the incident was smooth after this time, but who would have thought that there was a deep abyss around him.

The local governors and governors were appointed after discussion by the cabinet, and they were all old friends of the prisoners of the cabinet who were now envoyed. The military pay for the Ministry of War was investigated and issued by the Ministry of War. Although they all knew that they were loyal to the king and the country, who gave them money and food was obviously more influential. The emperor suddenly felt a little powerless. Is this still the world of the Zhu family? He stood up and looked at Lu Bing who was kneeling on the ground. He didn't say anything for a long time, and he didn't know what he should say.

Lu Bing did not provoke his body this time, but instead calmed down and looked directly at Emperor Jiajing. Seeing the emperor's originally energetic expression slowly becoming powerless, he sighed in his heart and said:

"Long live, I don't know what foreign affairs are like in the past few years, and my knowledge may not be accurate. Since the situation has reached this bottom, it is useless to be anxious. Let me give you a few days to sort out and reorganize the Jinyiwei!"

With such helplessness, Emperor Jiajing had no choice but to speak:

"It's over here, and there's nothing to say. My dear, please do it as soon as possible. I'm waiting for your news here."

Lu Bing went up the mountain and shouted long live the service. After finishing the etiquette, he retreated respectfully. Although the entire Forbidden City and the capital were in darkness, the troops from all walks of life were still being nervously mobilized. Many officers from the Beijing Guards and the Imperial Horse Supervision were removed from office and investigated this night. A large number of people from the Western Army were promoted. Under the imperial edict and the orders of the Ministry of War, no one dared to resist or doubt.

The more and more troops controlled by Zhou Lin and Deng Hua, from the initial disadvantage to the equal force, then the overwhelming advantage.

The eunuch Xuanzhi who was hung out of the city ran away from the city and ran away in many military camps in a tired manner. The nobles commanded by the regiment camp always had a very clear judgment on this political situation. Seeing the eunuch coming to the military camp late at night, many people immediately knew that Emperor Jiajing had re-controlled the capital. Although civil officials controlled the government in recent years, whether it was a border town or a regiment camp outside the capital, they deducted military pay and vacancies.

Such behavior ruined the already tragic army. What's worse is that civil officials control military pay, and noble generals deduct military pay. Only the personal soldiers of the family can have good treatment and equipment, and even training is the same. During the Zhengde period, it was already revealed that the army was private, and it became more and more powerful. In the past, it was said that a certain place was called a certain guard, but now it directly uses the command of the army or the general who commanded the army, called a certain family army. In the past, Jiang Feng's troops were called the Jiang family army. It was because Jiang Feng's complete control of the army and could not pour water into it, and the court and the government could not intervene at all, so he was called the Jiang family army.

Although the nobles outside the city were ambitious, they also understood that under such circumstances, their strength could be deprived of as long as the emperor's edict was issued. Moreover, their families and relatives lived in the city and had many concerns about what they wanted to do. Moreover, these nobles continued to make power to facilitate business and open workshops, and the money was like flowing, which was the big deal. It didn't matter if they lost their official position, but it was the main thing to be able to continue to make money.

After the eunuch arrived, these people in charge of the army did not hesitate and expressed their willingness to surrender to the eunuch who announced the eunuch.

When military soldiers appeared on the street, the people in Sanjiang Commercial Bank began to be alert. Soldiers appeared on the street. The Jinyiwei, who had not seen many days, took to the street to calm the people's hearts, saying it was a curfew and idle people were not allowed to go out, which even more shows that there was a problem.

Everyone knows that something big must have happened in the capital, but because of the curfew, they cannot find out and convey the message. The people above and below are anxious, as if they are ants on the hot pan, but they have no choice.

The final solution was simple and unexpected. The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang men had nowhere to go. After a few years of old capital, they could only put down their identities and serve as guards for shops and wealthy families. These people were considered professional martial artists, and they were not comparable to those who were rampant in terms of martial arts or in their own way.

Sanjiang Trading Company also accommodated several people. They were placed in the Yin Street branch on weekdays. During the curfew today, there were also staff from the Jinyiwei who were proclaiming loudly, saying that Lord Lu had been re-activated by the emperor, and everyone scattered among the people would return to the yamen of the Pacification Office to register soon.

These people at Sanjiang Trading Company are naturally extremely excited. Sanjiang Trading Company treats these Jinyiwei with the intention of making friends. These warriors who are almost on the street are grateful to them, and both sides get along well.

In the past few years since I was hired by the business bank, these people lived in a nearby courtyard like the business bank's friends. After working for one night, they still had to return here. Although they had been working for a night, they were still so excited that they couldn't sleep. At this time, the shopkeeper of the business bank came over and congratulated the officials on their resumption of their posts and asked what happened. The Jinyiwei was in high spirits, so they naturally said everything. Then they politely said that the courtyard where these families lived was given to them as gifts.

This is really a good thing to add icing on the cake, but the shopkeeper went out for a while, and then turned back and said that some documents in the business bank could not be sent out due to the city lockdown, but here is a hurry. After all, it is a matter of unstoppable settlement with the general account. Sanjiang Business Bank has treated each other well for the past few years, and even if it returns to the position of Jinyiwei, it is not a bad thing to take such a big business.

Several Jinyiwei agreed to the message. They had done these things before, so they naturally did not get any obstacles when they left the city. They just handed them over to the warehouse outside the Sanjiang Commercial Bank. Things were quick and simple.

But the person in the warehouse saw the inconspicuous place of the kraft paper wrapped in the receipts, and there were three feathers on it, which looked like it was bad kraft paper. If you accidentally hang it on it, people who don’t know would not care about it. However, the person in the warehouse immediately opened the envelope, and there were three small envelopes inside.

Soon, three fast horses galloped out of the warehouse and ran out towards Tianjin Guards and Shandong outside the pass. The three feathers were the highest level of communication in the intelligence system of Huazhou. According to strict regulations, for such a high-level transmission, three copies of the information must be copied and sent out in the three directions controlled by Huazhou. This is also to avoid loss on the road.

While the letter was being conveyed on the road, Lu Bing looked up various documents in the Jinyiwei's yamen. His lazy subordinates were driven to circle around, running back and forth between the six cabinet departments of the capital, either bringing documents or directly calling relevant low-level officials to come over to ask Lu Bing for inquiries.

Lu Bing stayed in his yamen, and after three days of sleeplessness, he never went out, and kept checking the documents and asking relevant personnel. Emperor Jiajing did not stop outside, and issued one by one decree after another. In the past two years, all the appointments of officers of the Ministry of War for the border towns and the 12th Regiment Battalion around the capital have been overthrown. As usual, the teams dominated by eunuchs and Jinyiwei have confiscated their homes in the homes of various ministers. In recent years, these officials have continued to prosper in industry and commerce, and they have taken advantage of the opportunity to control the government and gained benefits. All the families are rich. Once they go to circulate, all the corruption and bribery are exposed.

If no one investigates this kind of thing, it will be peaceful. Even if you are greedy to heaven, no one will pay attention to it. But as long as someone wants to deal with you, this is the ironclad evidence that a great sin can prevent you from turning over.

The officials in the Western Party were all middle and low-level officials, and were suppressed by the big guys above and could not turn over. In this mutiny, Emperor Jiajing naturally promoted them one by one. These people were resentful and naturally started ruthlessly. However, the evidence was arrested and there was no problem in the case of being sentenced to an ironclad case.

News of the capital spread. Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and several places close to Northern Zhili, the governors and governors submitted memorials to express their support. The border troops in Jizhen, Xuanhua, Datong and Liaozhen were also expressed their loyalty.

The bases of the Western Party, such as Shaanxi and Sichuan, naturally fully supported the emperor's actions this time. Jiajing was so guilty that his emotions disappeared a few days ago by Lu Bing, and replaced by a kind of excitement. He seemed to have found the feeling of monopolizing power and taking charge of the world.

So when Lu Bing asked to meet the saint, Jiajing was even a little impatient. No matter what, when he pretended to be or was really obsessed with Taoist techniques, the pills he took would not be of any benefit to the body, but would make people feel excited and irritable...
