Chapter 656 Xiangshan Red Leaves with Golden Branches (I)


Originally, less than half of the officials in the Ministry of War were sent to prison, but from the top down, no one bothered them.

It was almost the same as when everyone advised Wuzong not to go on a personal expedition.

It was just like being in prison, living in a single room, and the environment was very well maintained.

Food was delivered to the house every day and servants came in to serve it.

It was a disguised holiday.

If you are willing to spend a few dollars to live with your wife and concubine, there will be no problem.

But when the emperor began to trace the person responsible, life for these people gradually became difficult.

When the northern captives besieged the city, they certainly had to bear the responsibility for the Guobian Pass.

The Beijing camp had no way to control the captives, so they also had to shoulder the responsibility.

In the past, the problem of shortages in the Beijing camp was hidden under the surface.

This time when it was really time to recruit people, we could not mobilize troops to fight.

This problem could not be suppressed no matter how hard it was.

Although this is not a problem that formed in a day or two, it may not even be a problem that formed in the past ten years.

From the third battalion to the 12th regiment battalion and then to the establishment of the third battalion again, after several back and forths, this system must have been full of problems for a long time. .

But in the past, problems were kept under the surface.

Now that they have surfaced, there must be an explanation and someone must be held responsible for these things.

Originally, occupying troops or taking empty pay was something that civil and military eunuchs were doing, and the fault could fall on anyone.

However, this time the emperor focused on the Ministry of War, while Yang Tinghe and others wanted to make a fuss about Xungui and the Eight Tigers.

The two sides also fought privately, but in the end the emperor produced some evidence from Luo Feihong, making it impossible for the cabinet to continue to defend it.

First, Peng Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War, claimed that he was ill and begged for leave.

The emperor went through the motions of retaining him and approved his offer.

This was basically not much different from dismissal from office.

Once the big tree like Shangshu fell down, the hozens in front of it would naturally have no choice but to scatter.

The Jin Yiwei, led by Yang Chengzu, went to the Ministry of War Yamen and arrested a group of people.

This time they even arrested a minister.

Then, the interrogation began.

At this time, the officials of the Ministry of War who were originally detained in the imperial prison began to enjoy the treatment of real prisoners.

If you want to have good meals, you have to give money for food.

Even if you want to suffer less punishment, you have to give money.

As for the accommodation conditions, they are almost the same as ordinary prisoners.

According to the official position, the levels decrease from high to low.

Those who reach the level of petty officials live in the worst prison.

These officials were able to hold on for a while at first, waiting for rescue from outside, but after several executions, some began to be unable to hold on.

Later, when a doctor was beaten to death and simply dragged out and buried, the remaining people just said whatever they wanted, and in the end they just said whatever they were told.

One of the ministers was asked to be beheaded, and several of them were sentenced to death.

Among the officials and minor officials he met, more than twenty people were asked to be beheaded, and several times that were sent to the army.

This time it can be regarded as a real big move, a big move, Yang Tinghe is in it, and it also plays a promoting role.

This chief minister is not a weak person or a person who simply maintains the civil service system.

In Yang Chengzu's view, Yang Tinghe is someone who really wants to do something and is also capable and wants to make a difference.

If the emperor and his ministers work together, they will surely achieve great results.

It's just that Yang Tinghe has the ability and determination to do things, but the path he takes is opposite to that of himself or the emperor.

Everyone's end point is different, so the faster the speed, the farther the distance.

However, this does not mean that everyone must oppose each other in everything.

For example, punishing officials who drank the blood of soldiers or even suspected of having foreign connections, and cleaning up and rectifying the capital camp, Yang Tinghe also supported it, and his intensity was even greater than that of the emperor.

He was the chief minister, and he had the final say in the cabinet.

When he said he wanted to kill him, no one could tell him what to do.

From the finalization of the case to the settlement, and then to the Ministry of Punishment where it was sealed, the process went extremely smoothly.

They only waited until the day came and were taken to the Xisi Archway to be publicly executed, so that the people could take a look.

The scene of these people could be regarded as a warning to the monkeys.

It’s hard to say how much of this is to warn those nobles and the Eight Tigers to stop their actions.

Except for the Ministry of War, the border was not much better.

Shortly after Peng Ze took office, the imperial court issued an edict: Liu Kui, the former governor of Shuntian, and Zhang Bao, the governor of Liaodong, were imprisoned to wait for intervention, and his seal and ribbon were taken over by others.

From Shuntian to Liaodong's general military officer, there were as many as twenty-six people with military and military positions.

Except for a few of the civil and military officials on the Jiliao defense line who died during the Mongolian invasion and later during the Qin King's reign, almost all the rest were sent to prison.

Out of jail.

The Ming Dynasty's preferential treatment of scholars did not include the nine border commanders and important officials.

Once these border generals held military power, it was common for them to lose their heads once they committed a crime.

From a civilian perspective, arresting these people is a great relief and the people are celebrating.

Most of the talk in the streets was about how wise Long Live was, how clean the chief minister was, and how he got rid of all these things that harmed the country and the people.

Under the guidance of Yang Chengzu and other princes in the court, everyone blamed the Mongols' intrusion on the incompetence of the two governors or their drinking of soldiers' blood.

But no one cared that the troops of King Qin who scared the Mongols away were composed of these two governors and their subordinates.

The autumn wind is bleak and the leaves are withered and yellow, but the red leaves on Xiangshan Mountain are like a sea of ​​fire.

More than a month has passed since the Beibei trapped the city.

The refugees in the capital have left the city and returned to their hometowns to rebuild their homes, and order in the capital has been restored.

The literati started another literary and poetry meeting to express their emotions and express their ambitions.

There were many cars and horses in front of the Jiaofang Si, and social activities continued as usual.

Only occasionally, people remembered his Du family and other beauties.

It was a pity that they disappeared from sight.

Xiangshan Mountain, for example, is also a good place for dignitaries and dignitaries to travel together during the holidays.

In previous years, during this month, Xiangshan Mountain would be crowded with tourists, and they could even pick half of the red leaves in one round.

But today, Xiangshan was surprisingly quiet, with not many tourists coming and going.

On Guijianchou's side, there were only two young masters traveling arm in arm.

These two people are not much different in age.

They are both beautiful and handsome, but their attitude is too intimate.

When people see them, they will inevitably think of Hanlin Fengyue and other scenes.

The slightly older man inside smiled, his voice was like pearls falling on a plate, he was a perfect woman.

"Every time this time comes in Xiangshan, there are the most tourists.

You must have spent a lot of effort to make this place disappear today."

The slightly younger man put his hand on the man's shoulder, "Xiuchang, it's rare that you want to come out and have a look.

How can I not do it for you?

I just said that I found traces of the remaining Beilu troops and came with my troops to meet them."

We didn’t say anything about stopping them from coming in.

It’s just that when they heard about the Beilu Rangers, they lost their courage, and you can’t blame me.”

Zhu Xiuchang, who was disguised as a man, smiled coquettishly.

Although she was dressed as a man, she still couldn't block her peerless appearance.

He walked to a big tree, lazily leaned against the tree, lifted his legs up, and pointed at his slender feet, "My feet are sore from walking up the mountain.

Come on, rub them for me
