The gentry and gentry of the northern Zhili, as well as the middle and lower officials, were the main targets of this purge.
The case that Dongchang has been raising for several years finally came in handy at this time.
According to the list, they expanded rapidly from near to far, from point to surface, and the number of people they arrested and the stolen goods were more and more.
The penal department was insufficient, and even tents were erected in the open air to watch over the prisoners.
Those who shouted grievances, pleaded for mercy, and ran relationships, all the yamen in the capital were crowded with people, all kinds of voices, and messy rumors spread in the capital, and even the people of the Wang family were forced to enter the palace to ask to see Concubine Liu.
The Wang family, the family of Emperor Shenzong and Empress Wang, is very prominent in the generation, is the ancestor of Zhu Xu, and is the same generation as Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu said that she was not sick, and Empress Dowager Zhang accompanied her for a while, and finally sent away.
It can also be seen from this that the impact of this purge is so terrible that even the Wang family has not escaped.
"Mother, mother, mother......"
Huan'er hurriedly ran in from outside, her tone full of excitement.
Empress Dowager Zhang was rubbing her temples there, and sighed when she heard this: "No matter who comes in the future, I won't see it, and I will say that this palace is sick." ” She does have a headache, in addition to the Wang family, there are many people in other large and small families.
Huan'er didn't care about this, and said directly: "Niangniang, just now the Yuzao Palace summoned the imperial doctor, guess what the matter is?"
” Empress Dowager Zhang put down her hand, her face was serious, and said, "What's the matter, Li Cairen is sick?"
” Huan'er pursed her lips and smiled, leaned closer and whispered: "I personally went to ask the imperial doctor just now, and said that Li Cairen was happy!"
Empress Dowager Zhang's expression was suddenly overjoyed, and she said, "Are you serious?
” Needless to say, how important the heirs of a dynasty are, not to mention that it is still such an emperor, Empress Dowager Zhang is extremely concerned about Zhu Xu's heirs.
"Really, Mrs.
Liu said it herself."
Huan'er said with a smile, she knew how much Empress Dowager Zhang paid attention to Yuzao Palace, after all, there was such a woman in the emperor's harem.
"Let's go, go to the Fish Algae Palace!"
Empress Dowager Zhang stood up and couldn't wait.
Hearing these news, she couldn't wait for Li Jieyu to give birth to a prince now.
Ichthyamo Palace.
Li Xie Yu sat on the chair, touching his lower abdomen, and his expression was a little inexplicable.
She is expecting.
She had been looking forward to it, but she didn't expect it to come when the emperor left the palace, and she was a little surprised and happy.
Empress Dowager Zhang came in a hurry, almost tripped over the threshold, looked at Li Jieyu who came out, her face was a smile and nervousness that could not be concealed, and said, "Is there really one?"
” Li Xie Yu saluted lightly and smiled warmly: "What Imperial Doctor Liu said should be true. ” "Good good ......"
Empress Dowager Zhang was overjoyed, took Li Jieyu's hand and walked in, and complained at the same time: "I knew that I wouldn't let the emperor out of the palace, by the way, quickly send someone to inform the emperor and let him come back early......"
Li Jieyu could understand Empress Dowager Zhang's mood and accompanied her to 'chatter'.
The outside of the palace was turned upside down, and there was finally joy in the palace.
This matter could not be hidden, and it soon spread to the outer court, Sun Chengzong and others.
Cabinet, in Sun Chengzong's class room, Sun Chengzong, Xu Jie, and Chen Qiyu were deliberating, and when they heard the news, their expressions moved, and they seemed to have a big stone falling in their hearts.
Even a 'magistrate' like Chen Qiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor has no heirs, if something really happens, the world must be in chaos!
The movement of the East Factory has not slowed down in the slightest because of the 'heavy workload', and in addition to the city, the city has also begun to move.
Some low-level officials of the Six Ministries and Nine Temples were arrested one after another, all on the grounds of 'involvement in other cases', and they were all thrown into prison of the Criminal Department.
What Dongchang did this time was justified and well-founded, although it was arrogant, but in the face of the facts, no matter how strong the reason was, it would be pale, but all the officials in the capital were worried, and they couldn't sleep during the day and at night.
The cabinet and the six ministries vaguely felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't catch the clues, so they could only let Wei Zhongxian continue to toss.
For two days in a row, the army of Dongchang almost swept the entire Beizhili, and the prisoners who were escorted back from everywhere could not be sent into the city, so they could only be detained outside, but it was the stolen goods that opened the eyes of the people along the road.
Calligraphy and painting antiques, gold, silver and jade, precious utensils, exquisite jewelry, cash and silver, ordinary people can't open their eyes, but they are reluctant to move away.
According to the rough calculation of the Criminal Department, the warehouses and compounds of the Criminal Department were piled up in just two days, and they were worth more than 10 million!
Other grains, acres and the like are not counted!
The capital is turned upside down in the mountains.
Zhu Xu in the east was not in a hurry.
He spent two days in a row.

At noon on the third day, Zhu Xu stood on the high watchtower and watched the confrontation between the Shenji Battalion and the Eagle Yang Army with a telescope.
In addition to being equipped with the most advanced firearms in the Ming Dynasty, the training is also modeled on the special forces, and each of them is a strong general, one in a hundred.
After all, the Eagle Yang Army is an army, the first thing is momentum, and in the five-hundred-to-five hundred, the Shenji Battalion almost won the victory.
Wu Xiang, who was watching on the side, was stunned, and after a long while, he knelt on one knee and asked for sin: "The minister is incompetent, please punish the emperor!"
” Zhu Xu put down the binoculars and said with a smile: "Get up, I don't know how much effort it took to camp this divine machine, if you can win, I will run back to the capital now and personally take a knife to cut people......"
Wu Xiang was still embarrassed and stood up in fear.
There is such a strong army around the emperor, they have never known it, and this time they have deeply realized it, but they also make him, the general soldier, seem to be 'useless'.
Cao Bianjiao has been watching from the sidelines, this Shenji Battalion has always been in his control, Zhu Xu's voice fell, he said: "Your Majesty, the broken gun has improved a lot, the range is long, it is not easy to explode, the impact of wind and rain has been greatly reduced, and the only drawback is that it is slow to change ammunition." ” Zhu Xu saw that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were changing ammunition and retracting their guns, which was indeed relatively slow, and nodded: "Well, this problem will not be solved in a while and a half, and it needs to be able to keep up in all aspects, let the Ordnance Bureau develop it slowly, don't relax." ” The breech gun is not so easy, and Zhu Xu doesn't know much about the iron-making, cooling, and so on involved in it, so it can only be handed over to Bi Maokang and others to slowly accumulate experience, explore, and improve.
Therefore, it is not feasible to use muskets to fight in the field for a short time, but the possibility of artillery is still very large, as long as there is a long enough range of artillery, in Asia, at sea, the Ming will be invincible!
Cao Bianjiao didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, and paused for a while and said, "Yes."
However, if the captivity spear and bow and arrow are combined to defend the city, plus artillery, it should be more effective. ” Zhu Xu sighed, and bowed his head thoughtfully.
The slow reloading of muskets is a disadvantage, but the range is long, and when the enemy charges, there is a wave from afar, and then the archers, which will indeed have a good effect.
Wu Xiang listened on the side and didn't speak, just pricked up his ears and kept a low profile.
The army of the Ming Dynasty is now basically divided into three regions, and some people also divide them into three 'factions'.
The Liaodong system is from the mountains and seas.
Within the pass, led by Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi and others, including Mao Wenlong, Wu Xiang, Zu Dashou, and Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others.
The other is the southern department, that is, Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others, and the other is the southwest, with Qin Liangyu having the highest prestige, the most concentrated generals, and a slightly worse status.
Among the three major factions, Sun Chengzong's 'power' is naturally the strongest, after all, he is also the emperor of the two dynasties, and he has been in the dynasty for many years, and he is now the second assistant, with a high position.
However, these are the opinions of outsiders, Zhu Xu knows it, and he doesn't care about it.
"The ministers see the emperor!"
A purple-clothed brocade guard squad leader walked over quickly and knelt down on one knee not far from Zhu Xu.
A cup of tea appeared in Zhu Xu's hand, picked up the lid and said, "Flatten, where is the news?"
” The purple-clothed squad leader stood up and said: "Back to the emperor, Jinyi Wei found out from the Nanhe Hou Mansion that the descendants of Nanhe Hou, Zhenyuan Hou and Baoguo Gong were plotting against him, Wei Zhongxian was in the middle, and the other ......
They intended to believe in the king, or to believe in the king's sons, and to rebel and usurp the throne......"
Zhu Xu stopped drinking tea, covered the teacup, and his expression was a little weird.
He knew that some people inside and outside the capital were unstable, but he didn't expect that it was Wei Zhongxian who was hooked together, and naked.
The naked wants to usurp the throne.
This person is naturally not in his eyes, the tea cover rubbed the tea, looked at the purple-clothed squad leader and said, "What is the attitude of King Xin?"
” The purple-clothed squad leader said, "They haven't gone yet, the gate of the Xinwang Mansion is closed, and there is no movement." ”
