Chapter 103: The Truth Revealed
"Minister Zhu Jie see the emperor!"
Zhu Jie came to the Qianqing Palace and knelt on the ground.
"Zhu Aiqing, get up!"
Chongzhen's face was a little unpleasant, and he said lightly.
Zhu Jie stood up, only to see Fang Yuegong, the secretary of the military department, and Wei Zhaocheng, the secretary of the household department, standing on both sides of Chongzhen, one on the left and one on the right, one anxious and the other indifferent.
"Zhu Aiqing, Shicai, I got a report that there was a mutiny between the left and right guards in Tongzhou, but is there such a thing?"
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
Zhu Jie hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, but the mutiny has been controlled by the minister's cavalry, and the mutinous soldiers from hundreds of households below the thousand households are all tied up, waiting for the court to deal with it......"
"What the hell is going on?"
Chongzhen said unhappily, "Before the rectification, all the ministers have already reminded you that you must be careful of the mutiny of the dissatisfied soldiers, how can such a situation occur?" ”
Wei Zhaocheng on the side sneered, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, things couldn't be clearer, General Zhu Jie's rectification of the Fourteen Guards is not popular with the army and the people, just the two guards in Tongzhou, there are hundreds of people mutinied, if it is the Fourteen Guards to rectify, then wouldn't it be tens of thousands of mutinies?" Gyeonggi is a major land, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the slightest carelessness will cause a catastrophe! Rectifying the guards is not a blessing for the country......"
"Lord Wei, it's not as serious as you said at this time, right? Let's still ask the reason, find out the truth, and then make a decision, why are you in such a hurry to deal with Zhu Jie? Could it be some selfishness? ”
Fang Yuegong stood up hard, and had to say two good words for Zhu Jie.
Wei Zhaocheng sneered: "The truth? What else can be true about this? Lord Fang, as the secretary of the military department, in the Gyeonggi important area, there was a mutiny in the military camp, and you can't escape the blame, right? ”
"Alright, you two don't fight anymore! Zhu Jie, I want to hear from you and me! Will the rectification of the guard system be carried out, and will there be similar hidden dangers? Lord Wei has a good saying, that is, the Gyeonggi Heavy Land will never tolerate such a thing as a mutiny! ”
Chongzhen snorted coldly and asked Zhu Jie.
Zhu Jie smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, even when people are choked to death when they drink cold water, let alone the rectification of the fourteen guards?" If there are no twists and turns, then it is really abnormal, if there is a problem, the solution to the problem is, can we be afraid of choking to death by water and chew the flatbread without drinking water for the rest of our lives? ”
"You! Zhu Jie, you are a strong word! The old man who was choked to death drinking water has lived for nearly 60 years, and he has never seen it, but the barracks mutiny has been experienced several times, can it be compared? Your Majesty, Zhu Jie is afraid that the world will not be chaotic! If he is allowed to toss, the whole of Gyeonggi will fall into chaos! The minister asked the emperor to decree that Zhu Jie be taken away from all his official positions to set an example! ”
Wei Zhaocheng said fiercely.
"Lord Wei, are you in such a hurry to drive the lower officials out of the court? It seems that the two of us have no grudges in the past, and no grudges today, right? ”
Zhu Jie asked lightly.
Wei Zhaocheng sneered: "Zhu Jie, the old man is dedicated to the public, so naturally he is not as dirty as you imagined!" I can't tolerate you stirring up trouble in the capital, this court can't withstand any wind and rain, if you have the ability to go through the sky, the old man wishes you were the secretary of the military department! ”
"Really?"
Zhu Jie sneered: "It seems that you are loyal to the country, but unfortunately, the surface is high-sounding, but the heart is very dirty, for a little battle of will, he does not hesitate to take the major affairs of the court as a bargaining chip, and regards the life and death of the country as child's play. Do you really think that by concealing the compensation given by the imperial court to the dismissed soldiers, you can provoke them and make a mess out of control? Do you really think that just with the two straw bales of Lu Daxi and Dong Qiguang, you can control the situation of the two guards in Tongzhou? That's too underestimating my Zhu Jie's ability! ”
Wei Zhaocheng was shocked, could it be that the matter between Lu Daxi and Dong Qiguang was revealed, it was impossible, it was impossible to be revealed so quickly!
Chongzhen in the middle also reacted a little, catty! There must be a cat that you don't know about, and it's definitely not as simple as Wei Zhaocheng said!
Chongzhen shouted: "Zhu Jie, what's going on with the two guards in Tongzhou, you give me 1510!" Even the slightest deviation? Don't blame me for not remembering the old love! ”
Zhu Jie bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this mutiny is completely artificially intensified, first, Lu Daxi and Dong Qiguang cut off the troops, but they were privately instructed by Lord Wei Zhaocheng to conceal all the compensation matters of the imperial court one by one, trying to hide from the world, and finally fill their own pockets, and the soldiers who did not get any compensation were naturally dissatisfied; Second, Lu Daxi and Dong Qiguang acted unfairly, dismissed the soldiers in accordance with the law, and laid off a lot of elite soldiers, but left a group of old and weak people behind. ”
Chongzhen's face was pale, and he wiped it, it was another headache! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, these people are all intrigued, suspicious, and don't do any serious things!
"Wei Zhaocheng, what do you say?"
"Nonsense!"
Wei Zhaocheng's heart jumped, and he hurriedly shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, Zhu Jie is spewing blood, when did the minister instruct Lu Daxi and Dong Qiguang?" The minister doesn't know these two people at all, the minister does the household department book, the tax money and grain, these two people are the commanders of the guard, subordinate to the military department, not under each other, and the old man can't fight, even if the old man instructs? Will the two commanders listen to the ministers? Please also ask the emperor to see it! ”
Zhu Jie smiled and said, "Elder Wei Ge, your tone is very hard, but how do you explain this letter?" ”
As he spoke, Zhu Jie shook the letter in front of Wei Zhaocheng!
Belch......
Wei Zhaocheng felt that his eyes were dark, how did this, this letter fall into his hands? Didn't you warn Lu Daxi? Destroy the letter and leave nothing wrong, damn it!
Chongzhen took the letter, just glanced at it, and completely understood, it was written clearly, and the handwriting on it was Wei Zhaocheng, this calligraphy, Chongzhen has been reading it for more than ten years, how can he admit his mistake?
Chongzhen threw the letter on Wei Zhaocheng's old face!
"Wei Zhaocheng! Wei Zhaocheng! You actually colluded with the commanders of the two guards and interfered with the rectification of the 14 guards, so that you caused a mutiny in the barracks, and finally dared to frame your colleagues, what else do you have to say! ”
Chongzhen roared angrily.
Wei Zhaocheng fell to his knees quickly, trembling all over, it's over, being smart was mistaken by being smart, he was full of food, why did he have to deal with this Zhu Jie, he didn't pay attention, and even got himself in......
