Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 40
In the early morning of April [-], Jin Yiwei commanded the yamen.

"My lord, all the principal criminals have been sent to the imperial prison. According to your order, the family members of the principal criminals and the accomplices have all been sent to the Ministry of Punishment." Chang Yu bowed to report.

The scope of the arrest and the number of people exceeded Liu Hongjian's expectations. Nearly half of the Beijing camp was mobilized, and the entire Jinyiwei was mobilized. They were arrested until dawn before all the criminals were arrested and brought to justice.

"Well, everyone has worked hard this time, let's go eat some food, remember to take turns to change guards, there must be no mistakes!" After a sleepless night, Liu Hongjian rubbed his sore eyes, and looked at Jin Yiwei who was also tired. All high-level roads.

"Your Excellency, go back and rest for a while. I don't sleep much, so I can handle it here for the time being!"

It was also a night of tossing, but the old Liangtou was in good spirits. Seeing those high-ranking officials who were still majestic yesterday crying and crying, Didi regretted their mistakes, the old Liangtou finally let out a bad breath.

After 17 years, the emperor was finally wise for once.

Liu Hongjian immediately cupped his hands at Lao Liangtou, turned around and left.

Liu Hongjian really wanted to return home, and now his heart was full of the injured little wife at home, the little wife who resisted the sharp knife with her weak body.

The commander's yamen was not far from Liu Hongjian's mansion, and Liu Hongjian galloped through the streets of the capital on horseback, and arrived at the door of his house in just a few moments.

Three or five Jinyiwei were guarding the door. Since the last assassination incident, Liu Hongjian had mobilized a general banner (56 people) from the Jinyiwei to guard the Liu family.

Liu Hongjian took out a few pieces of silver and asked Brother Jin Yiwei to change his defense and eat some food, and then went straight to the house.

A few servants were cleaning the yard, and everything looked very peaceful. At the gate of the inner yard, a bull with a big club and a mace in his right hand was waiting here.

His injured left hand was still hanging around his neck, and he was carrying an AKM that Liu Hongjian gave him before he left. guilt.

Seeing Liu Hongjian coming from the outer courtyard with a lot of worries, Niu Dabangchu hurriedly put away his stuff and greeted him. Liu Hongjian saw that Dabangchui's eyes were bloodshot and knew that he hadn't slept all night, so he told him to go to rest first. , and then strode towards his own yard.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Xiaolan, who was lying on the bedside, heard the noise, and seeing that the master hurriedly got up to salute, and Sun Xiuxiu was still asleep, Liu Hongjian motioned for Xiaolan to step back first.

He slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, as if feeling something, Sun Xiuxiu opened her eyes and saw her husband waiting by her side, struggling happily to get up, Liu Hongjian hurriedly stopped him gently, the wound has not yet healed , don't move around.

"Does the wound still hurt?" Liu Hongjian stretched out his hand to lift Xiuxiu's bangs, revealing Sun Xiuxiu's pale and delicate face.

"A little bit, it doesn't hurt now." Sun Xiuxiu smiled, and shyly raised her hand to press her bangs to the back of her head, and said softly,

Xiaolan brought a bowl of meat porridge from the kitchen, Liu Hongjian took it, picked up the spoon and carefully blew it to Sun Xiuxiu's mouth, and Sun Xiuxiu opened her mouth to drink it.

Liu Hongjian picked up a handkerchief and wiped his little wife's mouth.

"It's Xiuxiu's blessing to be able to marry a husband." Sun Xiuxiu looked at Liu Hongjian gently blowing porridge for him. It was a blessing to be able to escape from death, and God gave him a husband who loved her and cared for her so much. , this Sun Xiuxiu is very happy and satisfied.

"Silly girl, it should be your husband's blessing. I have been busy with court affairs these past two days, and neglected to take care of you. I feel very guilty for my husband." Liu Hongjian fed Sun Xiuxiu another spoonful of meat porridge. , nodded affectionately on Sun Xiong's forehead with his finger.

"Master, a father-in-law came outside and said he has something important to do!" Xiaolan came in to report.

You don't need to think about Liu Hongjian to know who is looking for him. Half of the key officials in the capital have been arrested. At this juncture, the capital has become a mess.

After all, Sun Xiuxiu came from a family of officials and officials. His grandfather, Sun Chengzong, taught her that loyalty and filial piety were not equal since she was a child, and hurriedly urged Liu Hongjian to deal with official duties as soon as possible.

Alas, state affairs, family affairs, and world affairs are really annoying. I just want to hug my wife and count money!Liu Hongjian slandered someone with a displeased face.

Regardless of Xiaolan beside him, Liu Hongjian kissed Sun Xiuxiu lightly on the forehead, said in a low voice that he would come to see her when he finished his work, then handed the bowl to Xiaolan, turned and left.

In Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen, who also stayed up all night, stood in front of the palace. The rising sun reflected on Chongzhen's slightly tired face. Half of the hair on his forehead was already gray, making him look even more vicissitudes.

Behind him were Zheng Sanjun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department, and Meng Zhaoxiang, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment. These three were among the ministers Liu Hongjian had clearly told him that he could trust, and the three most critical to the action last night.

Not all literati drifted with the tide, and not all literati lost their conscience and integrity. According to Ming history records, there were not a few ministers who lived and died with the Ming Dynasty after breaking through the army.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry Fan Jingwen and his wife and concubines, Minister of the Ministry of Households Ni Yuanlu and his family of thirteen members, Yushi Li Banghua of the Zuodu, Wang Jiayan, the right servant of the Ministry of War, scolded the enemy and died, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment Meng Zhaoxiang guarded the imperial city alone and died under the Ming Dynasty, and the scholar Fang Yue Wu Ganlai and Sun Chengze, the right servants of Gong and Hubu, went to the well, Ma Shiqi and Jiang Dejing threw themselves into the Yuhe River, Shi Bangzhao, the deputy capital imperial envoy, drank medicine, Gong Yonggu, Princess Le'an, and Zhang Qingzhen set themselves on fire, and the rest all hanged themselves to death, known as Jiashen in history national calamity.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of court officials, the Ministry of Households is responsible for the collection of grain and grass, the distribution of military salaries and salaries, and the finance and taxation.

Especially Meng Zhaoxiang, the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, and Li Jiantai, the right servant of the Ministry of official affairs, yelled that he was wronged and wanted to see his as many as fifty wives and concubines. In the past, all the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and the superiors of the jailers scolded Meng Zhaoxiang bloody.

Half of the high-ranking officials in the capital were arrested overnight. How will the successor be appointed?Do all the ministers in custody have actual evidence of their crimes, how will they be tried, and who will be sent to interrogate them?The treasury is empty, what can the Ministry of Household do to comfort the frightened border guards?How to appease the 'surviving' officials?

A lot of questions were in front of them, and several people couldn't think about it. They all thought of the instigator of this operation, An Guobo Liu Hongjian.

Liu Hongjian stepped out of the inner courtyard, and saw that it was Wang Chengen who delivered the decree, which made Liu Hongjian a little surprised. Could it be that something important happened in the palace again?
The imperial decree was very simple. Liu Hongjian had full authority to interrogate and punish the prisoner, and called him to Beijing immediately to discuss important matters. As for the specific important matters, Liu Hongjian could think of them with his toes.

Liu Hongjian took the washbasin from the servants, and the clear water from the yard well immediately refreshed Liu Hongjian a lot.

"Old Wang, have you had breakfast yet?" The cook Liu Hong had already brought out a bowl of porridge and a plate of delicious side dishes, and Liu Hongjian sat down at the stone table.

"Oh, uncle, the emperor and all the lords are still waiting for you in the palace, so hurry up!" Seeing Liu Hongjian leisurely drinking porridge, Wang Chengen couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Don't panic, the emperor will send hungry soldiers, sister Liu, bring a bowl of porridge for the prince as well." Liu Hongjian ordered.
