Chapter 536 The Hou family is in trouble
After returning to the palace, Zhu Xu and others were immediately arrested by Queen Mother Zhang and were nagged for half an hour.
The little girl was also confined. Not only could she not leave the Cining Palace, but she could not even leave her boudoir. When would she come out, it would also depend on when Empress Dowager Zhang would be relieved.
"Your Majesty, the princess is still young, it's time to take care of it. At least the etiquette should not be bad." In Li Jieyu's bedroom, she grinded Zhu Xu and said softly.
Zhu Xu was looking at the memorials of Shen Yongmao and others. He listened to her words and shook his head and smiled: "Don't underestimate this girl. She didn't learn anything. If there was a scene, she would probably do better than you!"
Li Jieyu was stunned and said, "Really?"
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "This girl is smart. Be careful in the future and stop her words."
Li Jieyu chuckled and didn't say anything more.
Zhu Xu looked at this memorial. Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others meant to transfer Qin Liangyu from Sichuan and arrange it in the south of the river. There was no point in preventing Qin Liangyu from growing in the southwest.
Except for Xiong Tingbi who did not move in Liaodong, the generals of other provinces were mobilized, including Lu Xiangsheng going to Jiangxi, Xi, Hong Chengchou going to Hu, Guang, Wu Xiang going to Shan, Xi, Cao Wenzhao going to Jiang, Su, etc.
Here we have the intention to prevent generals from gaining power and taking turns to mobilize them.
Zhu Xu looked at this and was thinking in his heart.
In history, the Ming Dynasty had various means in order to control the border troops outside, including sending internal supervisors as military supervisors. Although he is not afraid now and is not worried about anyone becoming a big shot, the court officials must also carefully examine the idea of "long-term peace and stability".
"It seems that I will have to meet these generals tomorrow." Zhu Xu said to himself.
Li Jieyu stood quietly aside and looked at Zhu Xu silently.
Zhu Xu continued to watch, and had a general idea of the candidates for generals of each province. At the same time, he was still thinking about the candidates for governors of each province. Although the governor was considered a civil servant, he was in charge of military affairs and needed to be taken seriously.
Early the next morning, Zhu Xu called Liu Shimin and filled his morning schedule.
He was drinking porridge, and Cao Huachun walked in with today's court newspaper and said, "Your Majesty, this is today's court newspaper, General Qin Liangyu. According to the deployment of the Ministry of Rites, various places will release it at the same time, and most of the Ming Dynasty can be seen today."
Zhu Xu nodded and smiled when he opened it.
Qin Liangyu's article denounced officials from all over the world to become corrupt and outspoken. He changed his mind and criticized the "party struggle" and vowed to "party struggle to harm the country and to be serious about the party's slander."
Qin Liangyu was not the first to publish. Sun Chengzong, who, in the name of the Grand Secretary, talked about the disadvantages of "the party is the same and the different parties" and "the rampant party", and pushed all the various bad policies since Wanli to the party struggles, saying that the court must reform and must first "clean up the party."
The second is Shen Yongmao, the Minister of War. He spoke out bluntly that the defeat in Liaodong in recent decades has all originated from "party struggles". He sternly rebuked and acted as if he wanted to make a big move.
According to the order, tomorrow will be the Shan. Cao Wenzhao, the general general of the West, is the emperor's number one confidant in the eyes of this world.
Zhu Xu looked at it and closed it. These were all "army-related". They publicly opposed the cliques one by one, not only sending signals to the world and establishing a new atmosphere, but also waking them up to themselves.
Zhu Xu hurriedly finished eating, wiped his mouth, and said, "Who was the first one to meet?"
Liu Shimin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is General Qin. I have sent someone to inform her and I will arrive soon." Liu Shimin knew that the emperor always attached importance to the southwest and specially arranged for Qin Liangyu to be the first.
Zhu Xu said, "Well, by the way, let King Jing have half an hour."
Liu Shimin paused and said, "Yes."
Zhu Xu continued to look at the memorials presented by Shen Yongmao, Sun Chengzong and the eighteen generals, and was also pondering every detail of the military reform in his heart.
Zhu Xu was preparing in the palace. Although Cao Bianjiao, who was "revengeful", was dressed neatly and dressed in commanding armor. Under the escort of several personal soldiers, he rushed straight to Shuntian Prefecture.
Chen Xinjia has been busy since taking office. The government affairs of Shuntian Prefecture are complicated and changeable, especially when it comes to the generals who come to Beijing, nothing can happen. He is just taking 120,000 caution.
The same is true for Hou Ke. As the young chief, he was busier than the prefect, so he had no time to rest.
In the class room, the two of them sat not far away to process their respective official documents.
"Sir, it's not good, it's not good, Lord Cao is here!" A servant ran in in horror.
Chen Xinjia frowned and said, "Which Lord Cao?" Cao is also a big surname. There are quite a lot of people who can be called Lord Cao in Beijing, but no one deserves such a fuss, right?
Hou Ke also turned his head to look over with curious eyes.
The officer ran all the way, his breath was rapid and his mouth was dry, and he still shouted: "It's the commander of the imperial guards, Lord Cao Bianjiao Cao!"
Both Chen Xinjia and Hou Ke's expressions changed drastically. They had thought of many people, but they had never thought of Cao Binjiao!
Cao Bianjiao is the commander of the imperial guards and is in charge of the central military power. However, he is usually like an invisible person. Few people pay attention to it. You can't pay attention to it. You must not offend it!
That was one of the emperor's confidants and one of the few people!
Chen Xinjia glanced at Hou Ke, looked at him with a look of surprise, and hurried out.
Hou Ke hesitated a little and followed quickly.
Cao Bianjiao stood in the lobby, holding a knife in his right hand, with a calm and cold expression. His black armor looked calm and domineering.
Chen Xinjia and Hou Ke walked out quickly and bowed with a smile on their faces, "Why is Commander Cao free to come to my Shuntian Mansion? Is there something important or is the emperor's will?" Although he smiled, he was extremely alert in his heart. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a 'person who believed in the king'.
Cao Bianjiao glanced at the two of them, and after deciding who was who, he said in detail about what happened last night with expressionless expression.
Chen Xinjia and Hou Ke both looked shocked after hearing this, especially Hou Ke, whose face was so gloomy that water could drip out.
In their opinion, the focus of this matter was not that Cao Bianjiao was framed for saving people, and then being humiliated by Hou Fangyu with money, but that the emperor was always watching, saying nothing and doing nothing!
Chen Xinjia kept sweating from his head, and raised his hand to Cao Bianjiao and said, "Don't worry, Commander Cao, the subordinates will seriously rectify the servants in the mansion and strictly enforce the rules. Such things will never happen again!"
Hou Ke also hurriedly followed, saying, "Commander Cao, after the officials returned, he immediately took Hou Fangyu to the Ministry of Justice to plead guilty. He will definitely be severely punished!"
Hou Ke was really panicked. He finally made a comeback, and his brother was still running around in many ways. He finally had a clue. After Hou Fangyu made such a fuss, not only might his brother's affairs be ruined, but his position would probably not be able to be saved!
He wanted to pick up the knife and find Hou Fangyu immediately, and slashed his body a few times to make such anger!
Cao Bianjiao glanced at the two of them and said lightly: "I won't pursue this matter, and you don't have to go to the palace to apologize. Recently, it's just generals from all over the country who have entered Beijing. It won't take long for officials from all provinces to enter Beijing. There are nearly a hundred people. The emperor hopes that all officials in the world can see the new atmosphere of the imperial court and the capital..."
Chen Xinjia was shocked and understood, and immediately said, "President Cao, please rest assured, and the emperor is also pleased. Shuntian Prefecture will be strictly purged from now on, so as to ensure that officials around the world can see a different capital!"
This is the task of Cao Bianjiao. Listening to Chen Xinjia's words, he said calmly: "I will tell the emperor that he may leave the palace in a few days. If you encounter such a thing again, Lord Chen, Lord Hou should tell his family first and prepare for the funeral."
Chen Xinjia and Hou Ke were cold all over, their hearts were as if they were falling into an abyss, their faces became more and more alert, and they said in a deep voice: "The official is the one who takes the order!"
Cao Bianjiao did not look at the two of them anymore, turned around and left, leaving the gate of Shuntian Mansion. The anger in his heart finally came out most of his heart, and he was relieved all over.
Cao Bianjiao left Shuntian Mansion and had not returned to the commander's mansion, Qin Liangyu had already entered the imperial study room.
Zhu Xu looked at Qin Liangyu, who was still energetic and striding, and sighed in her heart, "This old general is 60 years old this year, right?" If she were in an ordinary family, she would probably have been full of children and grandchildren long ago and had been spending her rest, but she still worked hard from Sichuan to Beijing.
"My minister Qin Liangyu, come to the emperor!" Qin Liangyu said with a kneeling kneeling on one knee in an ordinary court uniform.
Zhu Xuxu helped him and smiled and said, "Don't give me a gift, I'll give you a seat."
Qin Liangyu also knew that the emperor had always respected her. She became more and more abiding by the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects, and raised her hand and said, "Your Majesty, I will stand, and it will be more convenient for the emperor to reply to the emperor's words."
