At the grand court meeting, after all the ministers paid their respects, Emperor Kangzheng sat on the throne and looked at the ministers below.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

Soon, the Minister of Personnel Zhang Yuheng took the lead in impeaching Duke of Liang Li Wei, followed by two or three censors and six or seven officials from other departments.

Duke Li Wei of Liang frowned and exchanged glances with Duke Liu Hui of Chen. After Liu Hui quietly pulled Xue Cheng, Marquis of Yong'an, who was standing below him, this group of Zhiyuan heroes began to greet each other in an obscure way.

"Does Duke Liang have anything to say?"

"This is unfounded."

As soon as he finished speaking, several civil servants jumped out and started to curse Li Wei. These civil servants were so eloquent that Li Wei could not get a word in. The group of military generals in the capital who were ranked after the Zhiyuan Meritorious Service began to help to interrupt, and for a while the whole place was firing verbal attacks and cursing at each other.

"That's enough! Shut up!"

When the ministers saw that Emperor Kang Zheng was angry, they immediately shut up.

"In that case, order the Jinyiwei Northern Pacification Envoy Jia Mu to investigate, and suspend the Duke of Liang from his post as the Nine Gates Commander."

"Your Majesty! This matter should be investigated by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice. Why let the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate it?" Zhao Yi, Duke of Hu, a meritorious official of the Yuan Dynasty, stepped forward.

"Ministry of War, haha, forget it, Zhou Shi, you can investigate together with the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Guards."

.........

After the court session, all the meritorious officials of the Yuan Dynasty gathered together. Duke Hu Zhao Yi said slowly, "They are going to attack us."

"It seems that the disabled person of the Jia family is the one who will fight in the ring."

"Just a yellow-haired kid." Duke Liang said disdainfully.

"Tell me the truth, is it that serious?" Duke Chen Liu Hui asked quietly.

"Every battalion of ours has the problem of people drawing empty salaries. I really don't know what's going on in the South Battalion. My little bastard is in charge of that side." Li Wei said nonchalantly.

"Solve the problem of empty pay as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, ask Xue Cheng to find some soldiers from the Beijing camp to make up for the number. Ask Meng Ge'er from the South Camp as soon as possible."

"it is good."

.........

Zhao Yuanlang, who had nothing to do at home, was arranging people to build a martial arts training ground in front of the ancestral hall when he saw a team of angels summoned.

After receiving the order, Zhao Yuanlang went to the Jinyiwei Yamen with a frown.

The entire Jinyiwei Yamen is composed of the emperor's people. The commander-in-chief Wu Quanzhen has no power at all. He is the younger brother of the current queen. The two deputy commanders are both old veterans of the Sticking Rod Department.

"Mr. Jia, you can transfer people in the government office at will." Wu Quan directly handed the seal of the Northern Pacification Envoy and his subordinates to Zhao Yuanlang, and then went to play with birds.

Zhao Yuanlang sighed and looked at the captain next to him, who was his familiar captain Wang.

Zhao Yuanlang had a brief understanding that there were three guards of the Jinyiwei in Beijing. Two guards were under the command of two commanders, who were responsible for protecting His Majesty and were responsible for the inner city of the imperial city and various officials. The remaining guard was responsible for the outer city and the surrounding areas of the capital, which was the guard commanded by Captain Wang Gang.

"About how many troops we have available."

"More than two thousand people."

"Okay, transfer 500 people to follow me to the South Camp of the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion."

"Yes, my lord."

........

When the Jinyiwei went out, the people were scared and avoided them. They soon arrived at the South Camp in the outer city. The soldiers at the gate checked Zhao Yuanlang's identity and refused to let him in no matter what.

Zhao Yuanlang had the men arrested and rushed into the camp. The whole camp was in a panic. Zhao Yuanlang went directly into the central army tent. Li Meng, the commander of the southern camp, was not in the camp. Zhao Yuanlang smiled and thought that Li Meng had been called away by his father. It would be better to do things better, so Zhao Yuanlang had people beat the drums to summon the soldiers.

Soon, the soldiers arrived.

Zhao Yuanlang signaled to capture the several captains and garrisons who were reported, but who knew that they would still resist.

"What rights do you have to arrest people at random?" These people still planned to fight back and wanted to wait until Li Meng came back.

"Can't my Jinyiwei arrest you?"

"You bunch of bastards, lackeys, I'm going to report you to the Ministry of War!"

Such a huge head rolled down on the training ground. Zhao Yuanlang gently wiped the sword in his hand.

"The Imperial Guards are the emperor's personal guards. If you say we are lackeys, then what are we? Anyone who insults His Majesty should be executed immediately. Who has any objection?"

"Brothers, charge! Avenge Garrison Commander Wang." Several captains who were under control pushed aside the weapons around them and rushed forward with dozens of people.

Originally this group of soldiers were eager to do good, but when they saw someone making a fuss, many soldiers in the front row actually rushed out.

"Very good, you are rebelling, kill them!"

"This is not good." Captain Wang Gang was also a little panicked. Nearly a hundred people were killing them, and the army was mutiniing.

"Bad? What's wrong with that?" Zhao Yuanlang shook off the blood on his sword and leaped towards the charging soldiers.

There was a flash of knife light, and seven or eight heads fell to the ground. There was another flash of knife light, and another five or six people fell to the ground.

In that instant, more than a dozen people lost their lives, and blood splattered all over Zhao Yuanlang, but Zhao Yuanlang remained unmoved. He waved the knife in his hand, and in less than a few minutes, dozens of people fell to the ground. The surrounding soldiers looked at Zhao Yuanlang in fear.

The captains were so scared that they wet their pants. Zhao Yuanlang wiped the blood off his knife and said, "Report to His Majesty that the Southern Camp refused to cooperate with the investigation. Several garrisons and captains mutinied and gathered to cause chaos. They have been controlled and taken away."

.......

In the imperial palace, Dai Quan trotted all the way and rushed into the hall with a pale face, holding the memorial written by Zhou Chengyi.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Jia Mu went to the South Camp to investigate and found out that there was a mutiny in the South Camp."

Emperor Kang Zheng, who was originally reviewing memorials, suddenly turned pale. The South Camp was the largest camp in the Nine Gates Commandery, with nearly 3,500 people.

"Pass on my order. Have Wang Ziteng lead the Yangwei and Xianwei camps to surround the South Camp. Immediately summon the Duke of Liang, the Duke of Chen, and the Duke of Hu to come to see me."

Soon, the three dukes arrived. Emperor Kang Zheng fiercely threw the memorial in his hand into the face of Duke Liang: "You are really my good subjects. Look at the army you brought to me."

Li Wei hurriedly picked up the memorial, flipped through it, and stood there in a daze. Duke Hu and Duke Chen took a quick look, their expressions changed drastically. Now Duke Liang could not protect him.

Soon, Zhao Yuanlang escorted several garrisons and captains to the Qianqing Palace. The blood-stained Zhao Yuanlang made Emperor Kang Zheng's eyelids twitch, because he had received a secret report that Zhao Yuanlang had killed nearly a hundred people by himself.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I entered the South Camp to investigate, but the soldiers guarding the camp refused to let me in, saying that Lieutenant General Li Meng was not there and had not received any notice, and even put down the barricades. After I was forced to enter the camp, I arrested several people, but they refused to obey, insulted the emperor, and led their personal guards to start a mutiny. With Your Majesty's blessing, I suppressed the mutiny and captured several people."

"Where's Li Meng?"

"I don't know."

"Duke Liang, you answer!"

"Li Meng was summoned home by me."

"As the commander of a military camp, you are not allowed to leave the camp without permission during your term of office. Does the Duke of Liang know this?"

Duke Li Wei of Liang felt like his heart was broken and he was speechless.

"I checked the South Camp and found that there were 3,521 people, but the actual number was 2,837, leaving a shortage of 684 people."

"Good, very good. You are worthy of being the Duke of Liang of my father. When my father was in power, there was no shortage of people. But I have been in power for a few years and I am short of 684 people. This is just the South Camp. Are there also shortages in other camps? Is it true that the entire Nine Gates Infantry Commander's Office with more than 20,000 people can only gather 15,000 people? Good, you are very good."

"I am guilty of a capital crime. I deserve to die a thousand times!" Duke Li Wei of Liang suddenly knelt on the ground.
