Chapter 124 Jinyiwei is paralyzed, and the war is about to begin!
Zhu Gaojie talked from early in the morning to late at night, until the "Tomb of the Demon Emperor of the East" appeared. Ye Fan, Pangbo and others came to watch. Only then did he listen to it. After talking for a whole day, now his mouth was dry and he wanted to wait for it.
Get a teapot and drink from the cow.
Zhu Dishang still has some endless aftertaste, and is very interested in the bizarre world of "Zhetian". His writing is like a horse flying in the sky, free and uninhibited, both solemn and harmonious, and delicate and harmonious.
"Did you write "Shading the Sky"?" Zhu Di asked.
Zhu Gaojiao coughed slightly and said: "No, this book was written by a hermit named 'Chen Dong'. Mr. Chen was a scholar of letters in the Hongwu period, also known as the 'Red-haired Monster'. He left behind countless golden masterpieces, only
It’s a pity that his old age is unknown.”
"Huh?" Zhu Di was a little suspicious, "This name sounds really strange. You couldn't have made it up right now, right? How could anyone call themselves the 'Red-haired Monster'?"
"Ahem."
Chen Dong, an old thief, had an unknown fate in his later years. He was covered in red hair and would not speak a word for a long time. He often muttered, "I'm asking for leave today, and I won't update tomorrow, so be happy, be happy..."
"That's alright, I won't embarrass you anymore." Zhu Di did not pursue the question further.
He had already made up his mind that "Shading the Sky" was written by King Qi.
"What do you think of today's "The Killing of Han Xin in Weiyang Palace"?" Zhu Di suddenly asked.
An alarm bell rang in Zhu Gaojie's heart. He had already guessed that the old man had called him to Jiming Temple for more than just listening to storytelling.
Now the old man’s words are praising him!
Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, made immortal contributions to the Han Dynasty. His power was so huge that it aroused the suspicion of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. In the end, he ended up killing the donkey and killing all the birds.
The old man really likes to listen to storytelling, but he never listens to it a second time.
But today, the old man asked to listen to "Weiyang Palace Beheads Han Xin" for the second time. This was nothing more than a hint to his younger son: Fourth, you have overstepped your bounds!
Zhu Gaojie dared to lead troops into the city to kill people, which seemed absurd, but in fact he had already made preparations to prevent impeachment and left no loopholes for those people.
He killed Luo Xiu because the stomach of a crossbow armor was found in Luo Xiu's house, which confirmed Luo Xiu's charge of rebellion!
But when the emperor takes action, he never needs flaws or evidence.
Zhu Gaojie slaughtered all the Jinyiwei officials under the emperor's eyes, but the old man couldn't sit still after all.
However, he did not go to war, but used the name of storytelling to warn Zhu Gaojie.
This also makes the father and son look good on each other.
"My son, I understand." Zhu Gaojie lowered his head and agreed.
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you really understand?"
Zhu Gaojie's eyes flickered: "Father, please trust me, I will handle this matter well."
"So, very good."
Zhu Di waved his hand, "Chirong was removed from the position of admiral of the Three Thousand Battalion and demoted to the commander of the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion."
The Royal Guard Command and Envoy Department was first placed in the Prince's Palace by Taizu in the fifth year of Hongwu. Each palace has three guards, and each guard has a commander, commanding the same magistrates, commanding officials and other officials, all of which are the same as those of the Beijing Guard. Each guard is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guard.
There are five thousand households on the left, right, front, back and center.
The royal guard commander is nominally a third-grade general, but his actual status is far beyond that of an ordinary commander. How much power he has depends on whether his prince is tough enough. Being a commander in Prince Qi's Mansion is comparable to a second-grade general.
It doesn’t count as aggrieved Chirong.
The old man's words can be regarded as turning this matter over, and he will not dwell on it any longer.
Chirong, the admiral of the three major camps in the capital, his allegiance should be to the emperor.
Now Chi Rong is helping King Qi to do things. No matter what the reason is, Zhu Di cannot let him continue to take charge of the Three Thousand Battalions. However, Chi Rong has repeatedly made meritorious deeds, and Zhu Di is nostalgic and cannot bear to demote Chi Rong to Bai Yi directly.
He was simply transferred to Prince Qi's Mansion as a commander so that he could enjoy his old age in peace.
…
"Ah hahaha, two days ago I said I was going to visit Prince Qi. Now I don't have to go to that trouble. From now on, I can work directly in Prince Qi's house." Chirong touched his head and said with a simple smile.
After losing his position as admiral, Chirong was not unwilling, but felt relieved.
Zhu Gaojie sighed: "If it weren't for helping me, you wouldn't have lost your position as admiral."
The admiral of the Three Thousand Battalions was from the second rank. Now Chirong serves as the commander of the guards of Prince Qi's palace. He is the third rank. It seems that he has only been reduced by one level, but in fact it is not the case. Previously, Chirong was in charge of tens of thousands of the most elite cavalry in the Ming Dynasty.
Now he only has a few thousand royal guards under his command.
During the Hongwu Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang believed that in order to protect the country's longevity, it was necessary to avoid the isolation of imperial power and ensure that the country's military and political power was in the hands of his children and grandchildren. For this reason, he abolished the prime minister and put the emperor in charge of the six ministries;
On the other hand, other princes other than the crown prince were assigned to various places to guard one area. The older sons such as King Qin, King Jin, King Yan, King Zhou, and King Chu all had three guards at the beginning, and the one with the most guards in the palace
There are nearly 20,000 people; younger vassal kings, such as King Su and King Qing, also have a guard, with a guard number of at least 3,000 people. The Ming Dynasty's border guards did not rely on generals, but on these princes. The key is
Each of these princes was more capable of fighting than the other. They pushed the people of Beiyuan to the ground and rubbed them. They were all extremely brave.
But after the Hongwu Dynasty, Jianwen cut down the vassal vassal, and all the nine vassal kings suffered. The vassal kings all withered. Zhu Di realized that if he waited any longer, he would be dead, so he directly rebelled against Jianwen and pushed Jianwen from the throne.
After becoming the emperor, Zhu Di, who rebelled against the vassal reduction, not only did not treat the vassal king well, but instead tried his best to implement the policy of reducing the vassal state and used various excuses to deprive the prince of his protection. His own son was not spared either.
All in all, in Yongle's reign, the prince's protection was very good.
Zhu Gaojie also had guards. He camped in Songlu Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing. The two guards totaled more than a thousand people. They were all dead weight and could not be reused. If a war really broke out, the two hundred Beijing cavalry could sweep away the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion.
.
However, as a guard commander in Prince Qi's Mansion, it doesn't matter whether he has soldiers or not. The important thing is that Chi Rong has a big father. Even though he doesn't have much power, as long as Zhu Gaojie doesn't fall, Chi Rong can control the capital.
Walking sideways, he is more majestic than when he was the admiral of the Three Thousand Battalion.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In short, Chirong seems to have lost money, but it seems that he has not lost money.
Although he lost his military power, he found someone to support him.
"In front of the prince, I must tell you the truth." Chi Rong said with a smile, "Actually, I don't like being the admiral in the Three Thousand Battalion. It's too troublesome. If I want to kill the enemy on the battlefield, I, Chi Rong, will bear the brunt of it without saying a word.
But over the years, I feel like I have been confined to the Admiral’s Office of the Three Thousand Camp, staring at pen and ink all day long. If I hadn’t been reluctant to leave those old brothers, I would have been sealed long ago. Now that I can leave the Three Thousand Camp, I feel
My whole body feels lighter.”
Zhu Gaojie nodded, believing that Chi Rong was telling the truth.
This Mongolian man had been wandering on the grasslands with his three thousand tribesmen, soaring like an eagle on the Pamir Plateau, free and unrestrained. Then he suddenly met the Ming Emperor Zhu Di, who was very good at fighting. When the old man saw these three
Qian Tieqi was so greedy that he was full of bad ideas.
Zhu Di said: "Boy, you have no future if you do this. You can hang out with me from now on."
Chirong said: "Why should I hang out with you?"
Zhu Di said: "Come to my place and I will prepare a job for you. Wouldn't it be nice to eat official food?"
Chi Rong thought for a while: "Sure, then I will hang out with you from now on."
Chirong who was recruited by the imperial court was different from Liangshan who was recruited in "Water Margin". The Song Dynasty did not regard Liangshan as one of its own. At most, it was just a labor dispatch, while Chirong was officially incorporated into the establishment.
For a second-grade admiral, even if Chi Rong is in decline, his descendants can still join the ranks of Shiyin's commanders or thousands of households. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not fall, and Chi Rong's descendants do not commit suicide, this meal ticket will be valid for a long time.
But this bowl of official food is not that delicious, at least not suitable for Chirong.
Being an admiral requires more than just being able to kill on the battlefield. You also need to understand the ways of being an official. This is something that Chirong cannot handle. How can he understand the sophistication of people in official circles? Isn't this a lie?
Now that he has resigned from the post of admiral and has come to serve as a commander in Prince Qi's Mansion, even though his rank has been reduced by one level, Chi Rong feels much lighter.
…
Jin Yiwei entered a brief period of paralysis.
The first-in-command Ji Gang was imprisoned, the second-in-command Lu Chaoyang was imprisoned, and the third-in-command Luo Xiu was slaughtered. This was not enough. All the officials of Jinyiwei were killed by King Qi. From the commander to the commander to the commander, they were either in prison.
They were imprisoned or killed, and fell into a leaderless situation for a while. This was the weakest period since the establishment of the Jinyiwei. Even when Emperor Gao dismissed the Jinyiwei, he had never been as embarrassed as now.
The common people and officials from both the government and the public clapped their hands and applauded, expecting the emperor to directly withdraw the imperial guards and make this scourge disappear from the Ming Dynasty.
But unfortunately, this is not very realistic, but any higher-level official can understand that the capital will soon fall into chaos.
The fight among the three princes, King Qi, Prince Han, and King Han, has reached a red-eye stage. Only Prince Zhao in Shuntian Mansion escaped. However, Prince Zhao was not too happy. The reason why he was spared was because of his own health.
The power is no longer taken seriously by the three brothers, and there is no chance to take advantage.
The weather in Jinling City is very good today. The sun is shining in the sky, the weeping willows are sprouting buds, and the lake surface remains stable, peaceful and quiet.
Zhu Gaojie stood next to the weeping willow, looking at the lake quietly, raising his hand and moving forward.
In the mountain gorge, black clouds roll over the mountains without covering them, and white raindrops jump into the boat.
The ground wind comes and blows away suddenly, and the water below the lake tower is like the sky.
"The calm before the storm."
Zhu Gaojie murmured to himself, "This should be the last peace. I'm afraid it won't be quiet anymore in the days to come. The King of Han's patience has been worn out, and the prince has begun to be unable to sit still. He must
Someone get out of Jinling City."
Jin Yiwei was the trigger. Now that Jin Yiwei is paralyzed, it has actually been a clear announcement that the imperialist faction struggle in the capital will enter the most intense stage.
