Chapter 14 The Ministry of War was bombed

The cow flew into the sky!

Liu Daxia, Minister of War, was also bombed into the sky.

When Liu Daxia fell down, he was like a five horse dismembered, leaving only half of his body on the ground.

The main hall gate of the Ministry of War was also blown up.

The bluestone slabs along the entire street were shattered a lot.

When the dust dissipated, there were endless wailings except for the blood and incomplete cows and people on the ground.

The Ministry of War is located in the East Palace Shengmen on the right side of the left gate of Chang'an outside Chengtian Gate. It is located in the same place as the Luanyiku and other yamen under the charge of the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Qintianjian, the Honglu Temple, and the Zhongdian Department.

Therefore, when Liu Daxia was killed, people from the Ministry of War and other departments were alarmed.

Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Personnel, happened to have not left the Ministry of Personnel. When he heard the explosion, he saw this scene. He was also shocked. After a glance, he only returned to the Ministry of Personnel's office and murmured: "The late emperor is kind, but His Majesty seems to be much more tough!"

Because the Minister of Personnel Ma Wensheng raised Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao, who was in the leopard room, couldn't help but yawn. As soon as he yawned, he saw Liu Jin running in:

"Emperor, Liu Daxia has been killed! Now the entire capital is in sensation. The people from the cabinet and the Silijian have rushed over. I guess they will come to report to you soon."

Zhu Houzhao nodded. Liu Daxia's bombing could not only prevent the continued desolation of the Ming army, but also reduce the chance that the people in the border towns would be poisoned by the Tartars, but also an important step for him to control the government.

Because Liu Daxia died, the position of Minister of War was re-elected. In the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of War was recommended by the Minister of War, and then the position of Minister of War was recommended by the Minister of Personnel, and finally decided by His Majesty, the Emperor.

Now the Minister of Personnel is Ma Wensheng, which means that the newly recommended Minister of War cannot be from Liu Jian and other members of the party. After all, Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian and others are not dealing with each other.

As long as the Minister of War is not a member of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet such as Liu Jian, the cabinet cannot control military power.

Because the power of the 12th Regiment Battalion of the armed forces in the capital is in the hands of the Ministry of War, and the Five Cities Military Command, which maintains public order, is also in the hands of the Ministry of War.

Zhu Houzhao believed that blowing Liu Daxia would be like cutting off one of the arms of Liu Jian and other cabinet ministers. Ma Wensheng and other foreign officials would be more confident to compete with the cabinet, which would naturally be more beneficial to himself, as an emperor.

At this time, Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, really ran away: "Old Master! I just received the report. An explosion occurred in the main hall of the Ministry of War. The Grand Sima happened to appear at that time and was bombed!"

"What! Liu Aiqing was bombed, how was he doing!"

Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise.

Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, looked a little dim, sighed slightly with regret, and then replied: "It's dead!"

"My Liu Aiqing! Let me continue to give you the order. Since Liu Qing passed away, I am sad and stop working for a day!"

Zhu Hou sat on the chair, squeezed a few tears in pain, and cried with her sleeves as she used to cover her face and cried.

"Your Majesty, mourn! The Ministry of War is an important place in the court, the Minister of War is also an important minister of the court, and the Grand Sima is a veteran of the four dynasties. I beg your majesty to issue an order to investigate it!"

Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, was also moved when he saw Zhu Houzhao covering his face and crying. He thought that the new emperor was still sympathetic to the old ministers, so he couldn't help but look at Liu Jin behind Zhu Houzhao.

"Investigate! We must investigate strictly! Let the Jinyiwei investigate carefully for me. The dignified Minister of War was actually killed by the bombing. Where is the majesty of the court?"

Zhu Houzhao slapped the table in anger and started yelling.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely find out who did it!"

After saying that, Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, looked at Liu Jin again, and then took a step back to Zhu Houzhao.

at this time.

Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, also learned that Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, was killed by the bombing. He was surprised and raised his eyebrows, his lips were bitten tightly, and the pen in his hand solidified in the air: "Have the five cities military personnel investigated? Is there any news from the Jinyiwei and the East Factory? The dignified Minister of War was actually killed on the spot! Who is so crazy?"

"Who else can I have this? The old man Ma Wensheng, who was always in conflict with Liu Daxia, and those who worked in the same office as the Ministry of War, were his offices such as the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue. The only one who could bring explosives into the important places of the court was the court official. Ma Wensheng was the Minister of Personnel, so it was naturally not a problem to do something in the Ministry of War!"

Li Dongyang, the second assistant to the cabinet, said with a smile.

"Not only that, Liu Daxia has always coveted Ma Wensheng as the Minister of Personnel. Ma Wensheng's bombing will not only eliminate a threat but also expand his own power. After Liu Daxia was killed, the Minister of War will definitely be re-selected. He is Ma Wensheng as the Minister of Personnel. It is not his final say who to choose to be the Minister of War!"

Xie Qian also said in a very angrily way, and the teacup in his hand fell heavily to the ground: "This Ma Wensheng, I didn't expect him to be so cruel!"

"It was not done by Ma Wensheng. I don't think that Ma Wensheng has such a method. If Ma Wensheng cannot do this behavior that is not ashamed of by Shilin, the only one who can do is the inner court. It is naturally impossible for the emperor to do it. He is a young boy and cannot have such a plan. Wang Yue and the others will never be like each other. The only possibility is Liu Jin, a castrate!"

Liu Jian waved his hand.

"What the Prime Minister said is that the people who can get to the important places of the Ministry of War are not ordinary people. Only the Luanyiku, which he is in charge of Liu Jin, is on the Ministry of War. But he does this to be beneficial to Ma Wensheng. Do you think Liu Jin has already colluded with Ma Wensheng!"

After Li Dongyang said this, Liu Jian and Xie Qiandu looked solemn, and Liu Jian even slapped the table in disrespect. "What does Ma Wensheng want to do!"

Liu Jian could only pat the table, but he could not do anything to Ma Wensheng and Liu Jin now. After all, they were just speculations and there was no real evidence to prove that Ma Wensheng and Liu Jin did it.

The Jinyiwei did not find anything, and they didn't understand what kind of explosives could have such great power. The explosives that can have such great power must be of great size, but the large explosives would naturally be discovered by soldiers if they were transported to the Ministry of War. The senior officials had this possibility, but the senior officials did not dare to investigate. The current Jinyiwei was no longer as powerful as before.

Therefore, the case of Liu Daxia being killed by the bomb became a unsolved case.

Cabinet Grand Secretary Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian can only admit defeat.

The new candidate for the Minister of War was put on the agenda.

Although the three cabinet masters of the cabinet hated Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Personnel, the number of officials who visited Ma Wensheng recently has increased, and even many who were dissatisfied with Liu Jian and other cabinet ministers were voted under Ma Wensheng. These officials could see clearly that once Liu Daxia died, the power of the party such as Liu Jian was greatly damaged, and Ma Wensheng's power would naturally rise and he would unite around Ma Wensheng one after another.
