Baihu Street is outside the right gate of Chang'an and connected to West Chang'an Street.
The newly-baked Jinyiwei Yamen is located here, but due to the rush of time, we didn't even have time to hang up the plaque.
There was no way. The two highnesses received the order at noon and gathered people to start work in the afternoon. There was no time to prepare the official positions, clothing and weapons.
In the front yard of the Yamen, Wuyang Wuyang was crowded with former spies and secret agents who had been summoned temporarily. These people had all identities, including officers, soldiers, low-level officials, officials, ordinary people, businessmen, and even
There are also quite a few beggars...a real rabble.
But everyone's face was full of excitement, and they looked into the lobby with gleaming eyes. The two highnesses suddenly called them over, and something must have happened.
"Everyone is almost here, let's get started." In the lobby, the fourth child looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he and the sixth child got up and came out.
"I pay my respects to the two princes!" As soon as the two men appeared, everyone knelt down and saluted.
"Let's all get back together." Lao Liu said solemnly.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After everyone stood up, Lao Liu said in a deep voice: "If there is an urgent task, I will not waste any more nonsense and just ask King Yan to give me a lecture."
There was silence in the courtyard, and everyone looked at King Yan with burning eyes.
"Brothers," Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "I have suffered a lot this year!"
"..." Although everyone remained silent, many people's eyes were red.
Zhu Di then said in a deep voice: "A year ago, we suffered a lot of humiliation. You were kicked out of your home by those noble civil and military officials, and ten of you were even beaten to death. I went to take revenge on them and blasted away the Ji'an Marquis Mansion with one cannon.
He also lost his throne and was imprisoned for half a year."
After a pause, he raised his voice and said with high spirits: "Fortunately, everything is over. I have restored my throne, and my father has also decided to formally establish a royal guard. From now on, you can handle the case honestly and openly!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" All the Jin Yiwei swept away their bad luck and howled excitedly.
"Today we are going to handle the first case, the Hu Weiyong rebellion case!" Zhu Di said loudly: "This is the first battle of the establishment of Jinyiwei. This first shot must be fired to shock the entire government and the public!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The Jinyi guards were so high in morale that they wanted to rush out and get someone right away.
"Now, according to the original establishment, the small flag officer will lead the team and go to the backyard to collect the equipment." Lao Liu then continued to give instructions: "After dressing up, come back and ask the king for a list of people to arrest!"
"Follow your orders!" The imperial guards regrouped under the orders of their respective flag officers, and then lined up to the backyard.
When they came out again, they had all put on bright red battle robes, wore wrought copper red tassel helmets, Qiushui Yanfei swords hanging from their waists, and black leather combat boots. They were all majestic and completely different from before.
"Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold!" Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction: "Don't look at all the crooked people, put on this military uniform, and you will immediately look like that."
"It's a pity that they are wearing the uniforms of the government army. I will design a more fashionable one for them later." Lao Liu smiled and said, "I'm sure it will look better."
"It doesn't matter what you wear, it's important if the case is solved." The fourth child didn't care much and said, "After the case is solved, even if you wear a sack on your body, it will still make people scared."
"I just want to look good for myself, okay?" Lao Liu smiled bitterly and began to assign tasks.
After receiving the mission, the Jin Yiwei lined up and drove out of the Yamen.
Outside the Yamen, there are also officers and soldiers from the left guard of the government army, who will set out with them to cooperate with them in taking people.
After a while, leather boots inlaid with iron nails stepped neatly on the stone road, and the frightening clicking sound resounded through the streets and alleys of the capital.
The Jin Yiwei visited the Six Ministries and Five Temples one after another, including the Yushitai, the General Administration Department, the Hanlin Academy, the Xingren Department, and even the Imperial Physician Temple...
"What are you doing? You can't go in." The officers and soldiers guarding the yamen gate tried to stop him.
"The Jin Yiwei are on duty, and those who stand in my way will be judged as resisting the order!" The Jin Yiwei leading the team shouted the slogan taught to them by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. At the same time, he drew out the Yan Ling knife and placed it on the necks of the gatekeepers.
The gatekeepers did not dare to move, and allowed the emperor's guards to pour into the yamen...
~~
In the official office of the Ministry of Industry, officials from the ministry were gathering together to urgently discuss countermeasures.
Xue Xiang had a solemn look on his face. He was very close to Hu Weiyong, and he had already taken the lead in attacking the palace. He didn't expect that it would be time to draw up the list so soon. He didn't know how to get through this, so he could only hold his subordinate tightly and said:
"Everyone, the more times this happens, the more we must unite..."
Before he could finish his words, the door was kicked open with a bang. A guard wearing a red robe rushed in aggressively.
The officials all stood up and looked nervously at the visitor.
"Everyone is here, that's great." The leading flag official had a straight face and glanced at everyone gloomily. After the air was completely stagnant, he took out a list of names from his sleeve and said loudly:
"We have been ordered to capture Hu rebels! When your name is called, come forward to avoid accidentally hurting your colleagues."
After saying that, he read loudly: "Xue Xiang!"
The officials all looked at Xue Butang, and Xue Butang sighed helplessly: "I am the official."
"Tied!" The flag official waved his hand, and several guards came forward, tied Xue Xiang's hands behind his back with hemp ropes, and pushed him out of the check-in room.
"Zhao Jun!" The flag officer announced the name of Zuo Shilang again, and several government soldiers stepped forward and pushed Zhao Jun out.
"Aren't you going to tie me up?" Zhao Shilang was also a bit naive.
"Tie him up if you want." Xiaoqi Guan rolled his eyes at him. He had never heard such a mean request.
"Don't want to, don't want to." Zhao Shilang hurriedly followed him out.
"Mai Zhide!" Xiaoqi officer announced the third name. "Tied!"
The Jin Yiwei then went up to tie the rope for the right servant.
"Why, why did you tie me up instead of him?" Mai Shilang struggled angrily.
"Anyone who is required to be tied up on the list will be tied up," the little flag official said angrily: "Where did they come from, and why are there so many?"
"..." Mai Shilang turned pale and was pushed out.
Eight more names were reported later, and they happened to be among the eight doctors from the Ministry of Industry. Only two of the eight doctors were kidnapped. Together with Xue Butang and Mai Shilang, the four of them were all very close to Hu Weiyong.
This made the people who were not tied feel a little at ease, thinking that they were just being harmed.
However, the entire leadership of the ministry was taken away by the gang, and the scene was still shocking. The ministers, chief officers, and minor officials were all so frightened that they huddled in the public room and looked out through the crack in the door.
Many people secretly rejoiced that a lot of seats would be vacated in this appointment. The promotion of officials in the Hongwu Dynasty was so simple.
The same scene was staged in various yamen at the same time. Almost all the middle and high-level officials above the doctor were taken away. The Yushitai was brutally wiped out by the entire army. Even the seventh-level supervisory censor was arrested.
