This time, a large number of court and local officials, and even generals and officers in the army were dismissed and investigated, and they were all people with high official positions. climber.

The common people clapped their hands and applauded because these corrupt officials finally received the punishment they deserved, and those officials applauded loudly and even wrote a letter to support the judgment of the emperor and the court because they all wanted to be in power.

The aftermath of the Cao Jiao case has not subsided yet, and the Dagan Dynasty, because of Gao Xiu, brought a large number of temporary military and judicial departments composed of elite soldiers and generals drawn from various yamen and various armies of the Chinese army to the various armies of the Chinese army, towns and counties in various places. The inspection by the county soldiers caused a shock all over the world.

Zhao Junsheng thought that the Dagan Dynasty was the most clean and efficient court in all dynasties, and the army of Dagan was a rare army with strong combat effectiveness. kind of question.

Since the various inspection teams of the Provisional Military Judiciary Department were sent out, half a month later, one case after another was reported. There are also those who have loose military discipline.

The dilapidated and unrepaired urban defense facilities of the town garrison and county and county armies, and lax duty posts and patrols are even more common.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the case reports sent by Gao Xiu with a serious face. The seriousness of the problems in the army was beyond his imagination. He was planning to personally conquer Rouran in mid-April, but the problems in the army now It made him feel cold all over, how could he feel at ease to lead the troops out?

After careful consideration, Zhao Junsheng suppressed the reports of these cases for the time being, and he will deal with them after the investigation is completed.

The efficiency of the inspection teams is still very high. They went to various places and immediately started investigations. They questioned some generals, officers and soldiers on the surface. At the same time, they encouraged military personnel to actively report and allowed anonymous reports. , Summon the person being reported, suspend the opponent's military post, and isolate and review.

The problems found were written into the report and flew to Chang'an like snowflakes and sent to Zhao Junsheng's imperial case. There were several reports like this every day.

After reading it, Zhao Junsheng sorted out all the report files and placed them separately. He also found someone to build a cabinet to store and lock them.

In the first ten days of April, the inspection team sent out completed the investigation, and Zhao Junsheng sent someone to announce an imperial edict to see Gao Xiu.

"Chen Gaoxiu sees His Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his head, got up and said: "The inspection teams have completed their inspections, but the matter is not over yet. With so many cases handled in such a short period of time, there must be problems in some cases. Maybe someone was deliberately reported and framed. Perhaps there are still people who have hidden deeper and have not been found out, so the various inspection teams cannot be transferred back yet, and they must continue to stay and deal with follow-up issues!"

"The inspection teams should keep backups of these cases, right?"

Gao Xiu cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, and said to Gao Xiu: "Let them stay. If the perpetrators are not responsible, someone will appeal and ask them to re-investigate. If someone still reports, they must continue to investigate! In addition... ··”

Zhao Junsheng said, picked up the key and opened the small cabinet, took out all the files from it and put them on the imperial case. They were divided into three stacks. He pointed to one of the stacks and said: "After reading these, I think there is basically no doubt about them. If the case can be finalized and is enough to be beheaded, I have already issued an order, and all of them will be executed for violating the military law! The temporary military law department immediately sent an order to the relevant inspection teams for them to carry out! Remember to announce their crimes in front of all soldiers , Public execution! These people are heinous, not killing is not enough to stabilize the morale of the army, not killing is not enough to comfort those heroic spirits who died in battle in the past, not killing is not enough to show the majesty of military law!"

"I've also looked at this pile. Most of the people involved in these cases are beheaded enough, some people can be sentenced to prison, and some are enough to be dismissed, but I think there are still some doubts about these cases. Find out, after all, most of them involve capital crimes. These people used to serve the country, and it is not easy to climb to this position. To be prudent, let the inspection teams continue to investigate again to minimize unjust, false and wrong cases. !"

"In the last pile, the circumstances of these people's involvement in the case are relatively minor. As chief officials, they are greedy for pleasure and nepotism; and as chief officials, the urban defense facilities in the jurisdiction have not been maintained all year round, making these facilities obsolete, damaged, and unusable. , Patrol arrangements and supervision are not in place, making the military discipline of the subordinates loose, the military appearance is not uniform, and because of their own incompetence and laziness, the training of the soldiers under the command is slack. These are the responsibilities of the chief officer. As, what is the use of them in the imperial court? Give this stack to the Ministry of War and let them deal with it. Those who don’t do anything will be taken down and replaced!”

"No!" Gao Xiu agreed, but his heart was gradually shrouded in chills. This time, he was afraid that he would be killed until blood flowed into rivers, and there would be a big change in the army.

Gao Xiu hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Your Majesty, if this is carried out, there will be a large number of vacancies in the army, which will cause a big shock, and the expedition..."

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "The expedition is going on as usual. The army is scheduled to depart in late April. The exact date is to be determined. The soldiers and horses for each expedition have received relevant orders and are currently gathering for training. Even if there is someone who commits a crime among the soldiers on the expedition, the military law will still be enforced." !"

"According to the order!"

Chapter 873 I hate it!

In the following half a month, some soldiers in the dry army, the garrison troops in various places, and the soldiers in counties and counties in various places were successively executed by military law for committing crimes. There were as many as 110 six generals executed at the army level.

There are as many as 120 generals and military officers who were dismissed and investigated and sentenced to prison, and as many as 160 people were dismissed from military status, military rank, or dismissed as civilians.

Such a large-scale and large-scale purge shocked the whole army, and the morale in the army was also cleared. All the armies of the Chinese army, the garrison troops of the towns, the generals and schools of the counties and counties, and the officers and men of the whole army joined hands I wrote a letter, resolutely supporting the emperor and the court to punish those who violated military discipline and corrupted the morale.

Even the soldiers of the armies who were about to set off cheered and their morale was boosted after seeing moths and rat droppings being taken down one after another in the army.

The day to lead the army is coming, and Zhao Junsheng is also very busy. The candidates for the ministers who will stay in the court, the generals who will stay in Chang'an, etc. need to be arranged.

"Your Majesty, General Xue Andu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, has arrived!" The eunuch came in to report.

Zhao Junsheng put down his pen, "Xuan!"

"Xue An, Minister of the Xuanbing Department, has an audience!"

Xue Andu walked in wearing an official robe, and he has gained some weight in the past few years as Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Chen Xue An pays homage to His Majesty!"

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng took out a memorial, "This is an apology memorial written by you. There are large-scale problems in the army. You, the Minister of the Ministry of War, are indeed to blame. But the problem in the army is that it is not a day's cold. You I have been working as Minister of the Ministry of War for three years. In fact, these problems have appeared as early as three years ago, but someone needs to take responsibility for this matter, and I also need to give an account to the entire army, the government and the people! How about it, you, the Ministry of War Shang Shu will not do it now, and deprive you of two ranks of title, this time I have decided to conquer Rouran myself, so you can go out with me!"

Xue An knew that what Zhao Junsheng did was already making an allowance for others. Letting him go with him on the expedition would be like giving him a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. After all, this is a serious issue of leadership responsibility. To be abolished, but also demoted to civilians.

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

Minister of the Ministry of War is actually a civil servant. Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, and Xue An have all sat in this position, but they are all warriors. In fact, Zhao Junsheng also knows that they are not qualified to be ministers of the Ministry of War, but there is really no one in the court. A yamen can accommodate these founding fathers, and these people have suffered from ignorance.

However, Zhao Junsheng is pleased that the new generation of military generals are all educated. This is also due to the vigorous establishment of schools by the Dagan court. During the past 20 years, many students have been trained. Some students have entered all walks of life. Some are officials, some are soldiers and generals, some are businessmen, some are engaged in research on things, some are scholars, some are teachers, and so on.

When those old guys who don't have much knowledge and don't know a single character die, the new generation will gradually become the masters of this dynasty. People can be civil and military, and they can be generals when they are on horseback, and they can be officials and people when they are off their horses.

Zhao Junsheng stood at the gate of the main hall and watched Xue An leave, sighing slightly in his heart, Xue An has the talent of a general, and it is impossible for him to be the minister of the Ministry of War to display his talents. For a person like him, he can only lead troops to fight But battles are not fought every day.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lin is asking to see you!" The eunuch came over and reported.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and looked behind the eunuch. Lin Jinghui was standing in the distance. He knew Lin Jinghui very well. A few years older, this person is taciturn and loyal, and he never compromises on his orders. Being able to stand out from the enshrinement pavilion and be assigned to serve in the black guard shows his extraordinary ability.

Zhao Junsheng beckoned to Lin Jinghui, and Lin Jinghui stepped forward and bowed to salute, "I have seen you, Your Majesty! The Western Regions Branch sent a message by flying pigeons. On April [-]th, we will send [-] troops into the bandits and invade our Tianyun Pass." !"

Tianyunguan is located in Bohe Kingdom, a natural and dangerous mountain pass at the junction of Dagan and Yanda. The Gan army used a lot of manpower and material resources to build a majestic pass here, with 300 troops stationed and sufficient defensive weapons.

Today is April 25th, and the Black Yiwei Western Region Branch is located in Qiemo City. That is to say, it only took five days for the Black Yiwei to send the news to Chang'an. This speed is quite terrifying. It seems that since After Lin Jinghui took over Black Yiwei, he has changed a lot.

Zhao Junsheng looked serious, turned around and walked towards the main hall, "Xuan all ministers enter the palace to discuss matters!"

Soon, the ministers came to the main hall one after another. All the yamen agencies of the imperial court were basically in the imperial city, not too far from the Qinzheng Hall. In less than half an hour, all these people arrived one by one.

Zhao Junsheng's face was stern, "Zhuqing, I just received the news that on April [-]th, the Yanda Kingdom sent [-] troops to invade Tianyun Pass!"

"what?"

"It's too disgusting to bully others!"

"I've already said I hate people with wolfish ambitions!"

For a while, the officials were furious, cursing and filled with righteous indignation.

Two eunuchs walked over carrying a huge map and hung it up, all civil and military ministers could see it. Gao Xu immediately walked over, picked up a small beacon flag and pasted it where Tianyun Pass was.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand, and the noise of the ministers gradually stopped.

The ministers looked at the map and saw Li Yuande standing up and saying: "Your Majesty, is this news accurate? Today is April 23, and the news has only been received in the past five days. Is this too fast?"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "The news is true, Zhu Qing has no doubts! The purpose of calling Zhu Qing is to let Zhu Qing discuss a countermeasure together. How should we deal with it? Is it normal to send troops to Rouran? Tell me, everyone." !"
