Chapter 157 How can the heavy weapons of the country be moved without authorization [seeking a month
The Huanghuai people knew very well that they had made such a big fuss this time, and in a serious sense, it was a rebellion.
After all, there was no emperor's will in the capital to mobilize thousands of soldiers and horses at once, and also besieged the emperor's direct subordinate Dongchang. What do you want to do? What do you want the emperor to think?
Thinking about it now, every move they made seemed to be planned by Chu Yi. They were tricked by Chu Yi.
If they were not plotted and failed in the siege of Chu Yi, then they admitted it. Who made them fail?
The key point is that even if I die now, I still can't take a breath, and I'm being treated like a clown.
Yan Song, Ma Ping, and Ren Chang looked at Huang Huai and Ma Yunzhang with pity. Even if they didn't come to provide ventilation and insurance, Huang Huai's every move was still under Chu Yi's control.
among.
If you think about it more deeply, Chu Yi is in charge of Dongchang, and the actions of many officials are under the supervision of Dongchang.
Chu Yi waved his hand and said: "Take a few adults and follow the governor to search the house!"
It was almost dawn, but no one was sleepy at all. Chu Yi gave an order, and Dongchang Fanzi escorted Huang Huai and others out of Dongchang.
A chaos that lasted for more than an hour finally came to an end. I hid in my own home and secretly watched the explosive conflict. For ordinary people, at most, it gave them more topics to talk about and brag to.
However, for some officials who were paying attention to what was going on tonight, many officials couldn't help but feel their hearts sink when they heard that Huang Huai and his men failed in their attempt to kill Chu Yi.
On the tall building in the distance, the imperial envoy Xunde watched Dongchang Fanzi escorting Huang Huai and several people as they walked down the long street not far away. He couldn't help but swayed and sat down on the chair, with a look on his face.
He looked pale and murmured: "It failed, why did it fail!"
Mo Qing, the minister of household affairs, had a look of despair. Previously, they had great expectations for Huang Huai and others, and even secretly facilitated Huang Huai and others' actions, hoping that they could successfully surround and kill Chu Yi.
.
In the end, he was captured by Chu Yi. After this encounter, Chu Yi's momentum was established. Others were the first to use firepower when new officials took office, but few people could burn it down like Chu Yi.
Several first- and second-grade officials in the hall ended up having their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.
Everyone present looked extremely ugly, cursing Chu Yi in their hearts, while Huang Huai and others were extremely frightened in their hearts.
It's okay if Huang Huai and others succeed. If they don't succeed, they will definitely be accused of rebellion by Chu Yi. The most worrying thing is whether Chu Yi will take the opportunity to investigate.
You must know that these people have secretly provided many conveniences for Huang Huai and the others. Once Chu Yi investigates strictly, none of them will be able to escape.
"Disaster, disaster!"
"What should I do? What should I do?"
A few people sat there in confusion, with some regret in their hearts. If they had not targeted Chu Yi from the beginning, they might not have reached this point.
Of course, if they don't target Chu Yi, Chu Yi may not let them go. There are only so many seats in the court. If Chu Yi wants to control the court, he must push his own people up.
The most important thing is that Mo Qing, Xun De and others occupy high positions but do not think about governing the people and reporting to the king. Instead, they use their own power to make money, make friends with locals, and condone their relatives and friends to do evil.
All the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China who were targeted by Chu Yi this time were all corrupt officials specially selected after being rigorously investigated by Dongchang. Each one of them had an unforgivable reason.
There is a saying that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Because of his own experience, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely harsh on officials all over the world. Officials' salaries were extremely low. It is no wonder that many officials were greedy for ink.
However, many officials have no bottom line at all and are greedy by nature. For example, people such as Xun De, Huang Huai, and Ma Yunzhang have net worths of tens to millions.
How could they have accumulated such a huge family property without being greedy?
If we really follow the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, I am afraid that among the officials of the Ming Dynasty today, almost 99% of them would have had their heads chopped off and their skin removed.
Even Chu Yi can't completely straighten out the government and make the world free of corrupt officials. Since ancient times, corrupt officials have never been eliminated. It is precisely because he knows this that Chu Yi can only catch the big ones, let go the small ones, and intimidate them.
human heart.
A sedan appeared outside the Leopard Room. The few servants guarding the entrance of the Leopard Room were extremely sleepy and were working hard to guard the place. When they suddenly saw a sedan parked there, they were immediately shocked.
A figure walked out of the sedan chair. When the servants saw a bright light flashing in the eyes of the person, they saw an eunuch step forward and saluted the man: "I have seen the chief minister. The night is cold and the dew is heavy. I don't know the chief minister."
Why are you here, sir?"
Yang Tinghe bowed his hands to the eunuch with a serious look on his face and said, "I would like to ask my father-in-law to speak for me on my behalf. I would like to say that Yang Tinghe has a very important matter and needs to see your majesty. It is extremely urgent, so please summon him!"
The eunuch's heart tightened when he saw Yang Tinghe's solemn look. Zhu Houzhao was not the kind of foolish king who indulged in pleasure and ignored important national affairs.
Whenever something important happens, no matter when all the officials ask to see him, Zhu Houzhao will definitely summon him personally. Therefore, those who serve Zhu Houzhao know Zhu Houzhao's temperament, and no one dares to delay time at this time.
The chief eunuch bowed to Yang Tinghe and said, "Master Chief Assistant, please wait a moment. I will go to report to Your Majesty now!"
Yang Tinghe nodded slightly and said, "It's so helpful, father-in-law!"
The great eunuch hurried to Zhu Houzhao's residence. The leopard room was not big. Soon the great eunuch arrived at the palace where Zhu Houzhao slept.
A figure appeared in front of the palace, it was Gu Dayong.
Gu Dayong frowned and looked at the eunuch and said, "Yang Gu, your majesty has already gone to bed. Is there anything that needs to happen if you come here at this time?"
There were many things going on these days, and all the documents sent by the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies required Zhu Houzhao's review. Zhu Houzhao took a rare early break.
When he saw the eunuch Yang Gu, Gu Dayong knew without guessing that someone must be asking to see Zhu Houzhao.
Yang Gu saluted Gu Dayong and said, "My lord, Mr. Yang, the chief minister of the cabinet, is outside asking for an audience. He said that he has urgent news and wants to see your majesty no matter what!"
Gu Da raised his eyebrows and said, "Yang Tinghe wants to see you?"
Yang Gu nodded and said: "Yes, looking at the look on the chief assistant's face, it seems that something big has happened. How can I dare to delay?"
Gu Dayong pondered for a while and said: "You go and invite Mr. Yang to come, and we will go to see His Majesty right now!"
In the middle of the night, if Zhu Houzhao is a faint king, like Yang Gu, Gu Da and the other servants would rather delay than choose this time to wake Zhu Houzhao up.
In the palace, Zhu Houzhao fell asleep peacefully. He saw Gu Dayong entering the palace accompanied by two old eunuchs. He stood about ten feet away from the dragon bed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao, who was sleeping peacefully, heard Gu Dayong's voice in a daze. He sat up and said sleepily: "Gu Dayong, what's the matter?"
It could be seen that Zhu Houzhao was really sleepy. After all, he had just fallen asleep and was woken up by someone now. If he had been a more grumpy person, he would have been furious.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao wake up and turn around, Gu Dayong took a step forward and lifted up the curtains. Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Dayong with a sleepy face, and heard Gu Dayong say: "Your Majesty, the chief minister is outside asking for an audience. He said that he has
A very urgent matter!"
Zhu Houzhao was originally sleepy, but his energy was shaken. After his sleepiness dissipated, he looked at Gu Dayong and said, "Yang Tinghe wants to see you for something?"
Gu Dayong nodded and said: "Not bad!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Serve me to change my clothes and summon Yang Tinghe!"
By the time Yang Tinghe came with the imperial edict, Zhu Houzhao had already changed his clothes, washed his face, and was drinking tea.
"Your Majesty, Yang Tinghe, pays homage to His Majesty. He asked for an audience late at night and disturbed His Majesty's rest. Please forgive me!"
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "There is no need to be polite, please get up quickly. What's the matter here late at night?"
Yang Tinghe looked at Zhu Houzhao with a serious look on his face and said: "Your Majesty, I have just received news that five people, including the Minister of War, Huang Huai, the right commander of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Feng An, the Minister of Industry, Ma Yunzhang, and Bai Bing, the chief of the Treasury Department, have been mobilized privately.
More than 4,000 soldiers and horses besieged Dongchang, trying to kill the general manager Chu Yi!"
Zhu Houzhao, who was making genuine tea, couldn't help shaking his hands when he heard this. The tea cup almost fell to the ground, and Zhu Houzhao exclaimed: "What?"
Even if Chu Yi was assassinated in Beijing, Zhu Houzhao would not be shocked. Chu Yi had been assassinated before, so Zhu Houzhao had already been mentally prepared.
However, now Yang Tinghe actually told him that someone mobilized a large army to surround and kill Chu Yi. This simply challenged Zhu Houzhao's cognition.
The army is the most important weapon of the country. The mobilization of the army has always been the most important thing for the monarch. Even the weak emperors are extremely sensitive to the mobilization of the army.
Especially here is an important place in the capital. Someone in such a place can mobilize thousands of soldiers and horses at once without alerting the emperor. If you think about it carefully, it is simply heart-stopping. Even Zhu Houzhao broke out in cold sweat for a moment.
At the same time, a surge of anger suddenly emerged.
Four thousand troops were sent to besiege Chu Yi. What if the opponent's target this time was him, the emperor?
He was responsible for patrolling the area around the Leopard House. The soldiers guarding the area were from Jinwu Guard, Habayashi Guard, etc., and their total number was only a few hundred. Against thousands of troops, they had no resistance at all.
This means that even if the other party wants to rebel, he, the emperor, will only die in the rebellion.
