Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 16 The great Ming Dynasty!Do you want to rest with the country?

The torrential rain came unexpectedly, the bean-like rain fell from the sky, the strong wind was wrapped in dark clouds, and a flash of lightning pierced the sky, shining on the Forbidden City shrouded in rain.

The rain was gurgling, and the sky in September changed as it said it would. The torrential rain fell very quickly, covering the chill in the Forbidden City.

Hall of Benevolence and Wisdom.

Hundreds of armored warriors, fearless of the howling wind, scattered everywhere like sculptures. Under the rain, there were people running past from time to time.

"Since they want to kneel at the Meridian Gate, let them kneel."

Zhu Youxiao's expression showed no joy or sorrow, and he glanced at Fang Zhenghua who was kneeling on the ground, "Go to the Wenhua Palace and pass on my oral order. Before the palace ban is over, no one is allowed to leave without permission. Everything I say in Ciqing Palace will be given to you." I think about it carefully, I want the cabinet and the six ministries, not just to shirk."

"The slaves obey the order."

Fang Zhenghua kowtowed in response.

The planning and deployment of cleaning up the inner court finally caused an uproar. The eunuch Wang An was killed at the Meridian Gate, and a large number of royal guards were stationed in the Forbidden City. For the civil servants, it is impossible to sit idly by.

Compared with the death of the eunuch Wang An, who was responsible for ceremonies, it only irritated some Donglin party members, but the Jinyiwei's stationing in the Forbidden City deeply irritated many civil officials.

Jin Yiwei was as transparent in the late Wanli Dynasty, but the new monarch has only been on the throne for a long time, and he has shown an attitude of relying on Jin Yiwei. This is an extremely dangerous signal.

The factory guard forces have always been a thorn in the side of the civil servants.

This also caused some scientific and Taoist officials to gather at the Meridian Gate to remonstrate with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Hui Anbo and the others are here."

Wang Chengen walked into the hall with his head down, bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said.

"Xuan!"

Zhu Youxiao said indifferently.

When the eyes of the civil officials of the foreign dynasty were fixed on the Jinyiwei stationed in the Forbidden City, the secret edict issued by Zhu Youxiao had already spread to some of the Xungui's mansions in Jingjing.

Since we want to clean up the forces in the inner court, it would be too petty to only clean up the eunuch team in the inner court!

Zhu Youxiao will take advantage of this opportunity to try to separate the imperial guards from the imperial city and the palace city.

"Your Majesty... Zhang Qingzhen pays homage to His Majesty!"

"Chen...Wei Shitai greets His Majesty!"

"minister……"

More than a dozen nobles who were ordered to enter the palace from all over the capital gathered in front of the emperor to bow to Zhu Youxiao. Everyone had different thoughts about the summoning of the new king.

"Excuse me."

Zhu Youxiao looked around at the people in front of him, and said with a calm expression: "Can I trust you?"

One sentence shocked Xungui present.

Son of Heaven, what does this mean?

Zhang Qingzhen, Wei Shitai and others were honored in Beijing, and none of them knew what to say. They knew what happened in the inner court.

The Jinyiwei stationed in the Forbidden City is not a small movement.

"King Quan Eunuch An is an internal minister, but he often keeps in touch with the outer court, and privately spread the secrets of the inner court out of the palace."

Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "The inner court leaks like a sieve. I don't know how such an inner court can ensure my safety. I am determined to clean up the guards!"

It's going to change.

Zhang Qingzhen, Wei Shitai and others showed different expressions when they heard what the emperor said. Telling them such important things clearly meant that they were expected to be responsible for all affairs in Suwei.

"From now on, we will set up the Imperial Guard Commander's Mansion to be in charge of the Imperial City and Miyagi Suwei."

Looking at the nobles in front of him, Zhu Youxiao continued: "All the guards were transferred to the Royal Guards Governor's Mansion on the spot. From now on, all the food, salary, military equipment, etc. will be paid directly from internal funds and will no longer have anything to do with the external dynasty." Contact, and all the ministers will take up the positions established by the Royal Guards Governor's Mansion."

Compared with the emptied-out Fifth Army Governor's Office and the ineffective Jingwei Commander's Office, which involved the guard affairs of the imperial city and the palace city, Zhu Youxiao decided to start anew and build a brand new Royal Guards Governor's Office.

On this matter, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to argue with the civil servants in the outer dynasty.

"Your Majesty, if this matter spreads to the foreign court, it may cause a storm." Zhang Qingzhen resisted the surprise, stepped forward and bowed: "After all, this matter involves..."

"I can't even do this master?"

Zhu Youxiao interrupted.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention."

Zhang Qingzhen hurriedly lowered his head and said.

Since the Tumu Fortress Incident broke out, the group of nobles of the Ming Dynasty has been going downhill, gradually fading away from the court, so that in this period, matters related to the court are always concerned in Jing Xungui.

The group of nobles in front of him were selected by Zhu Youxiao from the nobles in Jingjing, and they can be regarded as the part that can be driven. Their loyalty to Daming is guaranteed.

People like Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai all have temporary posts in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and also lead corresponding military positions in Shenshu, Shenji, and the Three Battalions of the Five Armies.

Taking into account the subsequent deployment of the rectification of the Beijing camp, Zhu Youxiao decided to take this opportunity to remove all these relatively reliable nobles from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the three major battalions to ensure that Zhang Weixian, who was in charge of the military affairs of the Beijing camp, could follow Following his will, the three major battalions were gradually organized!

As for the nobles such as Cheng Guogong and Ding Guogong, they were not in Zhu Youxiao's eyes from the beginning to the end.

"You are all nobles of my great Ming Dynasty, don't you even have this bit of courage?"

Zhu Youxiao got up slowly, looked around at the nobles in front of him, and said in a sonorous tone: "Anyone who doesn't want to share my worries can withdraw now, and I will not blame you."

"The minister is willing to die for His Majesty!"

Zhang Qingzhen, Wei Shitai and his party did not hesitate, and immediately bowed and saluted.

In fact, as Zhu Youxiao thought, nobles such as Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai may be wary of the civil servants' mouths, but there is no problem with their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

"Since that's the case, Uncle Hui'an temporarily takes over as the governor of the left, Uncle Xuancheng temporarily takes over as the governor of the right, and the rest of the ministers temporarily cooperate to clean up the affairs of the guards."

Zhu Youxiao said in a loud voice: "I will give you a month to sort out all the royal guards and governors' mansions, and re-adjust everything related to the imperial city and palace city guards. Zhijun, all register and make books, and I will reward you generously after this matter is over!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Everyone responded immediately.

Rectifying the accommodation system of the imperial city and palace city is a huge project, which involves many details. If any link goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

Letting Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai take charge of this matter can ensure order and stability to the greatest extent. It is better to solve it early than late. Zhu Youxiao wants to run the inner court into a monolithic one!
"All the sons and daughters of noble families in the capital will be promoted to the imperial guards."

Looking at the nobles in front of him, Zhu Youxiao said again: "At the moment when the country is in a difficult time, the disciples of the nobles should set an example and inspire people's hearts for Ming Dynasty. I will issue this edict soon."

In order to be safe, Zhu Youxiao still decided to add insurance and gather all the children of the nobles in Beijing to the Xunwei in front of the imperial court.

This can not only spur Zhang Qingzhen and his party, but also reduce the pressure on Zhang Qingzhen and his party. If the civil servants of the foreign court say this, then the entire group of nobles in Beijing will be on the line.

Zhu Youxiao wants to use his own method to gradually stabilize the current political balance that has been broken. Only by achieving political checks and balances can it be possible to gradually pull the chaotic order back from the inclined track. In this way, Zhu Youxiao Only then can we start to plan to reform Daming.
