Chapter six hundred and sixty seventh temple training
Ordinarily, people who have repeatedly betrayed their masters should not be used, but Mei Sizu can get away with it everywhere, which proves that he is indeed capable of leading troops.
After joining Lao Zhu's command, he conquered Shengshanshui Village, surrendered Wu general Lu Zhen, conquered Huzhou, and surrounded Pingjiang. He made military exploits and won trust. He also followed General Xu Da in the northern expedition to the Yuan Dynasty, conquering Shandong, Qizhou, Bianliang, and Luoyang.
, Shaanzhou, Tongguan and other places.
Then he followed Zhu Biao in the Northern Expedition and made military exploits. The most recent one was accompanying Fu Youde in the southern expedition to Mingxia. Mei Sizu led his troops to attack Chongqing and conquered it. This person's qualifications and merit are among the marquises.
Otherwise, he would not be qualified to temporarily take charge of the capital camp after Xu Da, Fu Youde and others left the capital. The lack of promotion is probably because Lao Zhu deliberately reserved it for Zhu Biao to benevolent after he ascended the throne.
Zhu Biao was not sure whether this person was secretly colluding with Hu Weiyong. After all, it was not uncommon for military heroes to gather together to drink. No one could have expected what trouble would happen in the capital camp at the feet of the emperor.
It would not be a surprise if there is. Comrade Lao Zhu has experienced many betrayals in troubled times, and only looks at talents and abilities for such people. But Zhu Biao has more choices, and he is quite picky about his confidants. Therefore, although Mei Sizu
They were his old subordinates during the Northern Expedition, but they did not enter the circle of direct descendants of the East Palace.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he was seduced by Hu Weiyong out of resentment. After all, Hu Weiyong was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty and the representative of Huaixi nobles in the court. Now who can know that Hu Weiyong's fate is determined.
Zhu Biao turned his attention to Jining Hou Gu Shi, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. The Governor Xu Da was away. He was currently in charge of the Governor's Office. He asked in a deep voice: "Marquis Jining, who issued the transfer order of the Governor's Office?"
of?"
Gu Shi took a deep breath and replied: "It was reported by a recorder in the Governor's Mansion, who ordered the commander of the capital, Zhao Dong, to change the city gate."
"I remember that the city gate changes its defenses according to its own sequence. Why is it so sudden? Where is the record?"
"Reporting back to Your Highness, when Na Lu heard about the incident in the capital camp, he was so frightened that he hanged himself in the hall. After careful inspection, Wei Chen discovered that it was this person who conspired with Zhao Dong to smuggle smuggled salt into the city. Wei Chen has something
Please punish me for the crime of negligence, Your Highness."
It was not easy to live in the capital. Although official salt was not affordable, as a daily necessity and an important source of income for the imperial court, the price was not particularly cheap, especially when compared with private salt.
Both the price and taste are far inferior. The production of official salt is borne by hereditary Zao households. The products of Zao household are not sold in the market, but are completely controlled and sold by the government. Zao household is equivalent to performing corvee service.
The quality is as good as you can imagine.
Salt smuggling has never been eradicated since ancient times. No matter how the court tortured it, the reason was profit. As long as they found a way to transport it into the city, there would never be a shortage of buyers. The common people would get cheap and delicious salt.
They would not report it, but would help cover it up. After all, without the private salt dealers, they would have to eat the expensive and bitter official salt.
It is not uncommon for someone to secretly sell illicit salt in the capital. It is not uncommon for the soldiers guarding the city to participate. There are only a few ways to make money as a soldier. The pro-military Duwei Mansion and the Military and Horse Division have both reported it.
Zhu Biao.
However, this is obviously just an excuse. Rather than going into a big fight, it is better to throw Zhao Dong out to avoid becoming a disaster in the future, and only a few more salt dealers and soldiers guarding the city will die.
Isn't the Marquis of Runan his?
"Beijing Camp is no better than other places. As a general, he left his post without permission and caused turmoil. I did not directly convict him because I was out of consideration for his past merits. Why is it harsh?"
Hu Weiyong bowed down and said, "I am a humble minister who made a mistake. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
What does this guy mean? It's just that he keeps the same in response to all changes. He has no intention of putting Mei Sizu to death. It will be clear after looking at his subsequent actions.
Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to indicate that the matter was over and asked Hu Weiyong to stand up. Then he looked at the Minister of War and said, "Where is King Kaiping? How long does it take to reach the capital?"
The Minister of War immediately responded: "Reporting to Your Highness, according to reports from the local area, King Kaiping returned to the capital by water after paying homage to the Holy Emperor and the Queen. He will arrive in about seven or eight days."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "In this case, we will not set up a general in charge of the Beijing Camp. We will just wait until King Kaiping comes back. The Ministry of War and the Governor's Office must take good care of the Beijing Camp these days. If anything goes wrong, I will not be lenient!"
"promise."
Zhu Biao then asked the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "The King of Chu should be organizing manpower to resume spring plowing. Everything is not easy after the disaster. The Ministry of Revenue should continue to raise and supply some grain seeds and farm tools. We must not slack off."
