The system has to be used even if it is pulled
Chapter 286 Promotion
"Brother Mu, are you okay?" Grandmother Jia looked at Zhao Yuanlang worriedly.
"It's nothing, I just killed dozens of people and my body is covered in blood. If you are okay, I will go back to change my clothes and take care of the dead servants."
"Okay, okay, go quickly. Brother Lian, go too and help your uncle."
Jia Lian was so scared when he saw Zhao Yuanlang covered in blood that his face turned pale. When he heard that he had to deal with a dead body, he immediately looked sad. Wang Xifeng, who was sitting behind him, smiled disdainfully. This is the man in Rongfu, a man with a penis, but he is so cowardly.
........
Fifteen miles outside Deshengmen, the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard set up a strict blockade, and the Zhiyuan heroes headed by Duke Chen Liu Hui and Duke Hu Zhao Yi all went in.
Broken limbs and human heads were everywhere. Liu Hui and Zhao Yi looked at the seven marquises and six earls. They all lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Don't you have anything to say? Huh? The emperor entrusted the 12 battalions of the capital to you. Is this how you reassure the emperor?"
"Liu Hui, you are talking nonsense. What does this have to do with me? Although I can't stand the disabled man from the Jia family, I still admire his ability. Besides, I have no soldiers and no power. Why did you ask me to come here? I can't do such a despicable thing." The first to speak was the loyal and brave Marquis He Zhiyuan, who was idle at home, had a title but no power, and was not responsible for any of the twelve battalions.
"Old He, shut up. We know this matter has nothing to do with you, but you have to come out and investigate with us because you are the only one who is innocent." Duke Hu Zhao Yi said.
"Okay, then what do you say we should do?" He Zhiyuan asked with a frown.
"The twelve battalions of the capital are all in the hands of you twelve people. Someone among you must know something. We have been brothers for many years. Stand up yourself, otherwise it will be embarrassing when it is discovered." Liu Hui said slowly.
Still no one spoke. Minister of War Liu Hui, Duke of Chen, laughed in anger: "Okay, very good, from today on, hand over your tiger talismans and tokens. From today on, the twelve battalions will be closed for investigation, starting with the Four Military Battalions. All of you follow me back to the Ministry of War, and no one is allowed to leave without my order!"
Qian Zhen, the Marquis of Xingning, the commander of Xianwu Camp, and the general, looked at the corpses and weapons on the ground with bloodshot eyes. "Which bastard did it? Whose bed crossbow, whose foot crossbow, whose people? You dare to do it and take responsibility for it. Stand up for me. I am almost being wrongly accused to death. My only son is still waiting for me to go back to see him in the hospital bed! You sons of bitches, hurry up and tell me. If my only son dies of illness, I will cut off all ties with you."
Qian Zhen was in his forties. He followed the retired emperor to war in his early years and blocked a cannon for him. But the thing in his crotch was not working properly and he had no children. He finally found someone who helped him with a magic trick to have a son, but he got smallpox when he was seven or eight years old, so he was so panicked that he didn't go to the camp during this period.
No one spoke. Qian Zhen even started to cry: "You bastards, Brother Liu, can you start with my Xianwu Camp? My son is still sick!"
Liu Hui patted Qian Zhen on the shoulder and finally nodded.
........
Soon, within two days, they checked the four military camps. Although their camps were short of 10% to 30% of their personnel, all the equipment was there, and all the spare supplies in the armory were not reduced. So Liu Hui and his team continued to check the other camps.
Finally, after seven days of investigation, it was discovered that ten pedal crossbows were missing from the Ganyong Battalion's equipment, and Chen Yifei, the vanguard captain of the Ganyong Battalion, and thirty-one of his soldiers had disappeared for seven days.
The Guoyong Camp was short of one bed crossbow, seven foot-operated crossbows, and six ox-horn bows in the armory. The captain Sun Youwei and his 26 soldiers had been away from the camp for seven days and had not returned.
The camp to suppress the enemy was 30% short of its personnel, and many of the personal guards under the command of guerrilla general Zhao Jifa were injured.
Soon, the commanders of the three battalions were besieged by the rest of the Zhiyuan heroes, who scolded, pushed and beat them, and wanted to tear them to pieces. Finally, Fei Chen, the Earl of Anping, the commander of the Ganyong Battalion, and the general, gave out all the details.
Fei Chen, an old subordinate of Duke of Liang Li Wei, had a few drinks with his old brother Ma Jun, Marquis of Xuanyong, that day. After returning home, he was drunk and felt resentful that Zhao Yuanlang had harmed Duke of Liang and Ma Jun, and even made Ma Jun an official in charge of the emperor's carriages. Then he contacted Li Dequan, Marquis of Weiyong, and Zheng Xiaoquan, Earl of Xuanwu, who were on good terms with him, and launched this ambush.
In the Qianqing Palace, at the grand court meeting, Emperor Kang Zheng looked coldly at Li Wei, Ma Jun, Fei Chen, Li Dequan, and Zheng Xiaoquan who were kneeling on the ground.
The hall was filled with solemnity. Emperor Kang Zheng slowly read the memorial and slammed the table: "It's really good, it's really great. What are you doing? Forming a clique for personal gain? Brotherly loyalty? If I wanted to execute Li Wei immediately, would you have staged a Chenqiaoyi mutiny for me?"
These words frightened the ministers so much that they knelt down on the ground in panic, shouting: "We dare not."
The remaining Zhiyuan heroes kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty is the king and we are the ministers. If we disobey the king and the ministers, the world will be in chaos and everyone will despise us."
These few words calmed Emperor Kang Zheng's anger a little, and then he signaled them all to stand up.
"Since the investigation has been completed, let's do it this way. Ma Jun will be stripped of his title, his entire family will be confiscated, and he will be exiled to Ningguta together with Li Wei. Anping Earl Fei Chen, Weiyong Marquis Li Dequan, and Xuanwu Earl Zheng Xiaoquan will be executed immediately, their titles will be stripped, their entire family will be confiscated, and their three clans will be exterminated. Does anyone have any objections?" Emperor Kangzheng angrily scribbled on the memorial with a red pen.
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty! Please have mercy, Your Majesty. The crime was committed by us, and it is not the business of our family."
Finally, the Chief Military Minister, Kang Zhengdi's trusted confidant, Wei Li, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Revenue, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please show mercy."
Emperor Kang Zheng saw that his top confidants had come out, so he frowned and revised the memorial again: "Then eliminate the female relatives and send them to the Ministry of Education, and the males will be executed along with their three clans."
"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers said.
"The three camps cannot be without a commander. First-class officer Niu Jizong is appointed as the commander of the Brave Camp, third-class general Chen Ruiwen is appointed as the commander of the Brave Camp, and third-class general Ma Shang is appointed as the commander of the Enemy Camp. Jia Mu, the Northern Pacification Envoy of the Imperial Guard, is appointed as the first-class guard, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, and the commander of the five patrol camps of the Nine Gates Governor's Office."
"We thank Your Majesty for his grace!" Zhao Yuanlang and four others came out to express their gratitude.
But everyone in the hall changed their expressions because of Zhao Yuanlang.
There is no problem with a first-class guard, there is no problem with the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and there is no problem with the general of the five patrol battalions of the Nine Gates Governor's Office, but putting these three together and giving them to one person is a big problem.
The founding heroes were suppressed by the Zhiyuan heroes and civil officials in the generation of the retired emperor. The Zhiyuan heroes were the most powerful in the army, and there is nothing wrong with the current generation employing the founding heroes to compete with the Zhiyuan heroes.
But it is not good to have the same person as the commander of the Jinyiwei and the commander of the five battalions of the Nine Gates Governor's Office. The Jinyiwei focuses more on monitoring civil officials. Now let a person with military power be the commander. Isn't this also an attempt to target civil officials? He was originally walking in front of the emperor, close enough to His Majesty, what is the current emperor trying to do?
At one time, many civil officials stood up, and even Emperor Kangzheng's confidant Wei Li stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we have objections to the position of General Cheng'en."
Emperor Kang Zheng had a strange smile on his face. "Since everyone has objections, then let Jia Mu, the Northern Pacification Envoy of the Imperial Guard, be appointed as the First-Class Guard and Commander of the Imperial Guard. Let Hou Xiaokang, the First-Class Son, be appointed as the Governor of the Nine Gates, and Liu Fang, the First-Class Son, be appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Battalions of the Nine Gates Governor's Office."
Except for Wei Li and a few others who were smiling, the rest of the civil servants understood that the emperor had thought of this long ago and was afraid that they would not agree, so he did this.
The civil officials felt aggrieved, but Zhao Yuanlang actually understood that this was the price paid by Emperor Kangzheng using the remaining influence of the Jia family.
