Chapter 36
In the Hall of Eternal Life, Zhu Xiongying looked at Lan Yu who had turned away and sent orders to the Ministry of War and the Mansion of the Governors of the Five Armies.

After the founding of the country, Lao Zhu adopted Liu Bowen's suggestion, established an army and guarded the law, and established guards all over the country to control the vital points everywhere.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was set up in the capital, and it was changed to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in 13 years of Hongwu.

The conquest, garrison, training, etc. are under the orders of the Ministry of War.

In case of war, the Ministry of War will transfer the army according to the order, appoint a military leader, and issue a seal letter. After the war is over, the military leader will hand over the seal to the court.

This is what I said before, the five-army governor's office has the right to command troops but not the right to deploy them, and the Ministry of War has the right to deploy troops but not to command them, and the two are not subordinate to each other.

If Lan Yu wanted to control the Shaanxi Capital Guards, he had to have the seals of both the Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War.

Because the Hongwu dynasty was the first dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, the army structure was relatively simple compared with later generations, and there were a lot of them.

There are more than 200 million troops in all parts of the country.

Of course, only more than [-] of them are the Beijing camp and the pro-army, which can also be called the main force of the central government.

The others are all local armies, and the local armies are divided into guards and frontiers.

The frontier army refers to the nine frontier towns guarded by the nine great Sailors, and the direct target is Beiyuan.

These troops are also called the town guards. They guard the border all the year round, licking blood at the edge of their swords. They have rich experience in actual combat, and their combat power is not much better than that of the Beijing army.

In the original historical trajectory, Zhu Di took the opportunity to win the garrison of Changping Town to make a fortune, and then flicked the military power of King Ning, so that he had the capital to play games with the court.

The guard army is the guard army in various places. There are as many as 10,000+ and as few as [-] to [-]. The organization of these troops is relatively chaotic, the number of soldiers is even more uneven, and the combat power is generally relatively low.

Although there seemed to be a large number of troops, in fact, for Daming, the Beijing camp was the most important thing. Without the Beijing camp army, power would be on the verge of collapse.

The reason is also very simple. The frontier army has to guard the border. Once there is chaos in the interior, in order to prevent foreign enemies from taking the opportunity to invade, they dare not return to Jingqin King. If foreign enemies break in from other gates, they will not have time to return to the capital in a short time.

The guards have low combat power, and it takes a long time to serve the king from all over the place.

For example, the later Ming Dynasty God of War used 50 troops from the Beijing camp (actually more than [-]). If he lost in World War I, his underpants were in the sky. The prepared Japanese army was transferred to block the Oala army, and when the frontier army and Qin kings from all over the place rushed to the capital, the Ming Dynasty might be finished in the hands of the God of War.

This time, the army that Zhu Xiongying gave to Lan Yu was the army of the Shaanxi Capital Guards Office, with about 8 people. Regardless of the large number of people, the combat power is actually not strong.

"Your Highness, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is seeking an audience outside."

As soon as Lan Yu left, eunuch Xiao Bao walked into the hall quickly and said.

"Xuan."

Zhu Xiongying knows what Bao Zhao is doing.

At this time, Bao Zhao, who was leading towards the Palace of Longevity under the guidance of the palace servants, was in a mess in his mind, and he hadn't recovered from Fengtian Palace yet.

As soon as he became an official, he was assigned to Dali Temple, worked in the local area for a few years, and then moved left to the Capital Procuratorate Zuodu Yushi, then the Right Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

It can be said that he has traveled all over the three judicial divisions of the imperial court, and his entire official career has been 'trial'.

But it was the first time in his life that he had seen a case like today's Fengtian Temple. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was a prisoner in the world who could prove himself dead.

Entered the Hall of Eternal Life.

When Bao Zhao saw Zhu Xiongying sitting high on it, he automatically ignored the unknown and strange chair His Highness the Great Sun was sitting on, and knelt down respectfully to salute.

Zhu Xiongying looked at the old man below.

When old man Liu enters the Ministry of Officials, the personnel adjustment of the imperial court will cause great changes in all ministries, but Zhu Xiongying does not plan to move the Ministry of Punishment alone.

In the original historical trajectory, this violent old man vowed not to surrender to Zhu Laosi, and yelled at the swallow thief for usurping. In the end, Zhu Di dug out his teeth, cut off his limbs, and died until his neck was cut off.

It can be described as the most loyal minister.

"What do you want to do?"

Although he knew why Bao Zhao came here, he still had to ask such a question in the process.

"I came here because I wanted to ask His Royal Highness to clarify what should be done with Zhu Shangbing, the son of the abolished King Qin?"

Bao Zhao was also confused.

According to the law, for Zhu Shangbing's crime, Ling Chi's extermination of the nine clans is a routine operation.

But earlier in the Fengtian Hall, His Highness Taisun just used the word 'waiting to be beheaded'.

As an official in the imperial court, it is basic practice to try to figure out the meaning.

This to be cut is a very interesting word.

For example, Huang Zicheng, the Minister of Dali Temple, has been in the prison for several days, and he has never been asked to move his head.

"How do you think Bao Shangshu should deal with it?"

Zhu Xiongying did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

This rhetorical question directly embarrassed Bao Zhao, thinking that if I knew how to deal with it, why not make a special trip to Taisun's mansion...

"Condemned for the crime, he should be executed Ling Chi."

"However, considering the reputation of His Majesty and His Highness, I think that it is enough to ask for execution at the Meridian Gate."

Bao Zhao just finished speaking.

"Is the sky prison good for robbing the prison?"

Zhu Xiongying asked again.

Bao Zhao was shocked by these words, and immediately patted his chest to reassure him.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the prison is strictly guarded, and I guarantee my life, there is absolutely no possibility of robbing the prison!"

Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly.

Not good for prison...

That's a bit of a hassle.

Zhu Xiongying's ultimate goal: to provoke the king of Qin to rebel.

He believed that as long as the news of Zhu Shangbing being detained and awaiting execution spread to Qin, Zhu Yu would definitely get angry and want to rebel.

But if someone is persuading, or if he lowers his head in anger, considering that Lao Zhu and A Biao are still half-breathed, this Zhu Xi may shrink back.

At times like this, someone needs to be on the sidelines.

And the best candidate for this fight is none other than Zhu Shangbing.

This guy is almost mentally disturbed by himself, and he already hates him to the bone. As long as Zhu Shangbing returns to Qin, he will go back as a fugitive for a capital crime. Once the court orders his arrest, Zhu Shangbing will definitely try his best to make his father talk about it. flag.

The reason is simple, if you don't rebel, you will die.

Of course Zhu Shangbing didn't want to die, and King Qin even more so.

"Zhu Shangbing is Gu's cousin after all, and His Majesty has always attached great importance to the blood of the clan. It is obvious that he will hurt the royal family's face in the world. He was escorted to the Xiaoling Mausoleum outside the city and given him a glass of poisonous wine on behalf of Gu."

Bao Zhao thought about it and thought it was a good idea.

"Sir, obey the order."

"I wonder when Your Highness thinks it is better to execute the execution?"

If it was an ordinary case, Bao Zhao would have settled it himself, but this was the Emperor Zhou's clan after all.

"Just looking at the moonlight tonight is very good."

Zhu Xiongying smiled lightly.

Bao Zhao murmured in his heart, where is the moonlight in broad daylight, but he was very surprised that His Highness Taisun was so anxious to bestow Zhu Shangbing to death, which was completely different from Fengtian Hall's attitude of waiting to be beheaded.

"Baoqing is working hard, and the Ministry of punishment is heavy. From now on, I will have to rely on Qing more. Seeing Qing's pale face, it should be the loss of kidney yang. Here are a few Shenglong Pills, which can strengthen essence and replenish qi."

"Come here, give Dan."

After a cup of tea, Bao Zhao, who left Fengtian Temple, froze in place.

Looking down at the bottle of Rising Dragon Pill in his hand, he always felt that something was wrong.

He was clearly talking about business, but why did he talk about kidney deficiency...
