Chongzhen gave an order, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp, who had been waiting outside the Huangji Gate for a long time, rushed in, and after a while, they surrounded the ministers inside the Huangji Gate on the third floor and the outer three layers.

Wang Chengen stood next to the throne, took the holy decree from Wang Erxi behind him, and began to read it.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Wei Zaode, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, since his inauguration, did not think about sharing worries for the country, embezzled and accepted bribes, accepted bribes of 80,000 taels of silver in March of the 14th year of Chongzhen, accepted a total of 38,000 taels of silver from local officials in May, and sold 100,000 stones of grain and straw in the name of disaster relief in August, and sold them to profiteers."

"In January of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he accepted 13,000 taels of bribes, and in October, he accepted 24,000 taels of local filial piety......"

"Chongzhen Sixteen Years ......"

……

"Remove Wei Zaode's official clothes, dismiss him from his post and investigate, and take him down!"

During this period, Wei Zaode didn't say a word, he couldn't count how many corrupt things he had done in the past few years, and when he heard the examples of his crimes on stage, he kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead at the beginning, and finally almost stood unsteadily.

There were already three or five soldiers around him who took off Wei Zaode's official hat, took off their official clothes, and put Wei Zaode's arms on the left and right, and escorted him down.

"Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Military Investigation, does not think about the difficulties of the country, privately sells the firearms and armor of the court to profiteers, and even the country's heavy weapons are scattered in thieves and prisoners, the crime is extremely evil, and he is dismissed and investigated, waiting to be released!"

Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department who heard his name, couldn't stand anymore, and fell to his knees with a thud, crying out for wrong.

But where were the soldiers of the Beijing camp behind him willing to listen to his defense, the peasant army besieged the capital twice, and the firearms in the hands of the peasant army had killed many of their brothers, and now they knew that the firearms that killed their robes were actually from the hands of their most respected military department Shangshu.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp who breathed fire in their eyes slapped Zhang Jinyan's black gauze hat with a rough slap, took off his official clothes, ignored Zhang Jinyan, who was crying and crying, and dragged him down like a dead body.

"Li Jiantai, the right attendant of the Inspector's Department, ......"

The imperial case behind the eunuch in the hall was full of small mountains, Wang Chengen read one, Wang Erxi took it, and then handed over another, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp immediately took one person.

Although the Imperial Palace was crowded, the atmosphere was extremely weird, only Wang Chengen's slightly sharp voice permeated the hall, while Chongzhen looked at everything below from the throne.

The surrounding area was full of soldiers from the Beijing camp armed with war knives, and the ministers who were named knew that they were in danger, most of them were paralyzed on the ground, and there were also a few hard-hearted generals who wanted to rush away from the guards, but they were immediately hacked to death by the soldiers with knives.

Blood splashed on the stone pillars of the Huangji Palace, and then flowed to the ground, this hall that has stood for more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, tonight is bloody and rainy.

Outside the imperial city, the city of Beijing, the night is pervasive, the whole capital is under martial law, all the city gates have been closed, all the soldiers of the Beijing camp are waiting for it, Li Huaizhong, the deputy governor of the Beijing camp who has already learned the order, stands on the city wall of the capital, holding a war knife, looking at the brightly lit imperial city from afar, with a solemn face.

In the Jinyi Guard's yamen, the lights are bright.

Due to the importance of the matter, it was not until he discussed the specific matters with Emperor Chongzhen that Liu Hong gradually informed Jinyi Wei Liangyang and others of this operation.

Liang Yang was shocked, but also full of excitement, corrupt officials, corrupt officials, corrupt people, once made him disheartened, and now he understands how calm the young man in front of him is.

I also understand why Liu Hongchuan has been letting Jinyiwei step up drills recently, and even divide it into hundreds of households.

Liang Yang knew the danger of this operation, but his face did not have the slightest fear, the Liang family has been hereditary brocade clothes and guards for three generations, he has seen the ruthless Shangguan, and he has also seen the greedy and lustful Shangguan.

He has been dormant, waiting for the opportunity to eliminate thieves for the country and show his skills, thirty years, until his hair is gray, now, the opportunity has come, he glanced at the somewhat reckless young man in front of him, right or wrong Lao Liang, I will accompany you for a while!

At eight o'clock in the evening, the appointed time had arrived, and Liu Hongji, Liang Yang, Zhang Shun, Chang Yu and others walked out of the command envoy's yamen, and Chang Yu dragged a stack of documents in his hand, on which was the list of all the officials who had been convicted.

Outside the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard's command, the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard was full of horses, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, although the Jinyi Guards, who had already been reborn, did not know what arrangements they had for suddenly summoning them at night.

But the different atmosphere in the capital tonight has already made them excited, something big is about to happen, and Jinyiwei is finally going to regain its strength!

The torches illuminated the resolute but excited faces of the riders in front of him, Liu Hongjian stood outside the Jinyi Guard's yamen, there was silence all around, and the breeze floated, blowing the gorgeous python robe on Liu Hongji's body.

Everyone was waiting for him to call the shots.

"Warriors, you have eliminated thieves for your country and enjoyed great glory! However, the way of heaven has collapsed, corrupt officials are in trouble, tonight, with me, eradicate traitors, and be loyal to the country! ”

"Eradicate the traitors! Loyal to the country! ”

"Eradicate the traitors! Loyal to the country! ”

Everyone shouted almost with the strength of milk, and then Chang Yu sent a task to the cavalry to distribute the cavalry strength according to the size of the corrupt official and the number of people in his mansion after investigation.

The horsemen who received the task, either under the leadership of the general banner or the hundred household officials, quickly disappeared into the night.

When you arrive at the designated mansion, you will be ridden by a few skilled horsemen, take a ladder into the wall, and then the door will be opened.

"By the Holy Decree, arrest the traitor, everyone will be arrested on their knees, and those who resist will be killed!" A high-pitched horseman led the charge into the mansion, shouting.

The house was suddenly in chaos, and the disheveled servants, maidservants, and wives and concubines rushed out of the house screaming, and saw that the courtyard and the courtyard were surrounded by brocade guards holding embroidered spring knives, and then they fell to their knees with a howl......

"By the Holy Decree, arrest the traitor, everyone will be arrested on their knees, and those who resist will be killed!" Such a scene was being staged everywhere in the capital, and the brocade guards raised their eyebrows and rushed into the mansion one by one to control the scene.

Not all officials' domestic servants are tied up, Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, has more than 50 strictly trained domestic servants in his home, and most of these domestic servants are generals who have retired from the border army, and all of them have experienced a hundred battles.

The brocade guards, who had not fought for a long time, did not control the situation with the advantage of numbers until more than a dozen brothers fell. Blood was being shed everywhere in the capital, including the families of corrupt officials who tried to escape punishment, and the young Jinyi guards.

Liu Hongjian and Liang Yang, who were in charge of the Yamen under the command of the Jinyi Guard, were concerned about the situation in the capital with solemn faces, and from time to time there were Ti Cai to report the situation, and where there was resistance, Liu Hong gradually immediately sent more people.

From the Huangji Hall to the Huangji Gate, from the East Chang'an Avenue to the West Chang'an Street, the capital is shrouded in a solemn atmosphere against the backdrop of the sporadic firelight.

Sleepless tonight.
