Chapter Thirty-six The rain is coming

Zhu Cilang's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he sighed for a long time.

"I have been raising scholars for three hundred years in the Ming Dynasty and have raised such a bunch of beasts in their clothes. It seems that I am still too kind."

Originally, Zhu Cilang did not intend to kill all the civil officials and nobles, but now it seems that people are harmless and tigers are hurtful.

If he did not cleanse the court, these "strong ministers" of the Ming Dynasty would kill the monarch.

Of course, they will conjure an accident, just like Zhengde and Emperor Aoki fell into the water.

Qian Qianyi!

Zhu Cixuan silently recited the name in his heart, and his fists clenched tightly.

Everything arose because of it. I didn't expect that this Donglin leader had no other skills, but no one could do anything about making a plan.

As for those nobles, they were just chess pieces used by Qian Qianyi and other Donglin Party. Although they were hateful, they were also sad.

Looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty, it is the history of the struggle for imperial power and the power of the literati.

When the emperor is strong, such as Taizu and Chengzu, they can make decisions and completely suppress the civil servants' power. When the emperor is weak, civil servants can control the government and the emperor becomes a puppet.

If Zhu Cixuan wants to firmly control power, he must clean the court. Even if this process is extremely bloody, he will be willing to do so.

Now, these stupid Donglin Party members have given him this opportunity.

These Donglin Party members who spoke of benevolence, righteousness and morality and claimed to be saints actually colluded with the nobles to seek monarchy, so Zhu Cilang could take the opportunity to kill him.

Aren’t you Donglin Party stubborn? Let’s see if you are stubborn or my sword!

"Print an order!"

Having made up his mind, Zhu Cilang no longer hesitated and ordered loudly: "Shishence Army commander Zhao Xin led the Shence Army to take over the Beijing camp, and no one is allowed to release it!"

Although the Beijing Camp's combat effectiveness is very weak now, Zhu Cilang still wants to block it for stability.

The Ming Dynasty's Jing camp was always led by nobles in turn. In the late Chongzhen period, Zhao Zhilong, the Xincheng Bo, led the Nanjing Jing camp. After Zhao Zhilong issued an edict, he was temporarily led by Xu Wenjue, Duke of Wei.

Since Zhu Cixuan has decided to attack Duke Wei and others, he must first stabilize the Beijing camp. Fortunately, the Shence Army is now stationed in the Beijing camp, and the water towers are close to the water and the moon is the first to control the Beijing camp.

As for the so-called navy in Xinjiangkou, Zhu Cilang was not very worried. The so-called navy did not have a single warship, and four hundred were all sand ships used for grain. There were neither cannons nor guns on the ship, and it did not pose any threat to Nanjing Jiancheng.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Cilang then said: "Liu Chuanzong, I ordered you to command the Jinyiwei Clerk and Dongchang Ancestor to surround the residences of all the officials involved in the case and arrest them all in the imperial prison!"

Shoot the man and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first.

Nowadays, these nobles who plot to kill the regicide are all in Nanjing. As long as they are ordered to arrest and take him to prison, some people will not find their backbone even if they want to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

After all, the emperor has the advantage of great righteousness. As long as he takes the initiative, these rebel ministers will never cause any big trouble.

"I obey the order!"

Liu Chuanzong was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although he and Zhao Xin were both old men who followed Zhu Cixuan when they were both the East Palace, one represents the Jinyiwei and the other represents the East Factory.

Since the establishment of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, the battle between factories and guards has not stopped.

When the East Factory was strong, the Jinyiwei became a vassal of the Dongchang. For example, when Wei Zhongxian was nine thousand years old, even the commander of the Jinyiwei was raised by the factory. When the Jinyiwei was strong, the Dongchang would temporarily avoid the edge. For example, when Lu Bing was the commander of the Jinyiwei, did Chen Hong dare to say something in front of the Lu Commander?

It would be impossible to say that Liu Chuanzong has no selfish intentions.

But as a eunuch, he also knew very well that his power came from the emperor.

Therefore, improving one's own strength within the scope allowed by the emperor is the only thing Liu Chuanzong can do.

At present, the emperor recruited and established the Shence Army, and Zhao Xin was in charge of the commander. But this was definitely not in line with the way of checks and balances of the king.

Liu Chuanzong believed that it would not take long, and Zhao Xin could only control the Shen Ce Army and one of the Jinyiwei.

Judging from the emperor's sacred edict just issued by the emperor, it is clearly inclined to let Zhao Xin take charge of the Shen Ce Army. Then the Jinyiwei will undoubtedly be the admiral of the East Factory, who is also a factory guard system.

This is definitely great news for Liu Chuanzong.

And wasn’t the Donglin Party conspiring to kill the monarchy this time by the Dongchang? It seems that the emperor is already vaguely dissatisfied with the Jinyiwei and Zhao Xin.

Liu Chuanzong firmly believed that as long as he did this job well, he would become the number one among the emperor's hawks and dogs in the future.

"Your Majesty, is the imperial edict issued this time?"

Liu Chuanzong asked carefully.

Zhu Cixuan sneered: "Why, if you don't issue the order, do you have to go through the cabinet ticket and approve the bonus by the Secretary of State?"

Liu Chuanzong shivered when he heard this.

Yes, how could he ask such a stupid question?

Generally speaking, if the emperor wants to issue an imperial edict, he must go through the procedure of drafting and awarding the dividend. Only after a complete set of procedures can the imperial edict be effective.

But there are always exceptions in everything.

If the emperor directly sends the imperial edict without going through the cabinet, then it is called the imperial edict.

After the imperial edict was delivered to the relevant yamen, some officials would refuse to accept the edict on the grounds of "false life and chaos".

Of course, this is the privilege of civil servants, and military generals will never dare to resist the order.

Do you think you live too long if you hold military power in your hands and resist the order?

Civil officials don’t have this kind of concern.

On the contrary, refusing to accept the imperial edict became a way for them to show their loyalty and righteousness. Just like the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty who were scrambled by the emperor, if anyone refused to accept the imperial edict, it would definitely become a clear stream in the scholars and leave it in history.

However, Zhu Cixuan obviously doesn't have to worry about the officials refusing to accept the order. Because he sent this order directly to the Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Shence Army. He did not need to be implemented by the Six Central Departments at all, so there is no refutation or rejection.

Since you are unkind first, don’t blame me for being unrighteous.

In this world, people with three legs are not easy to find, but people who want to be officials on both legs are everywhere.

Kill a group of civil servants and nobles, and at worst, another group of them will be launched. These newly launched officials will inevitably be grateful to Zhu Cilang, and he will use it more easily.

Previously, Zhu Cilang still had a little fantasy about these civil servants and nobles, but now it seems that it is time to not be destroyed or established.

Looking at the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had countless opportunities to turn the tables, but they were eventually destroyed by the fact that the pig teammates fought in their nests.

Zhu Cixuan will never allow the same thing to happen in this time and space.

No matter whether it is a civil servant or a nobleman, as long as you want to dig out the corner of the Ming Dynasty, you will be the target of Zhu Cilang's elimination.

Zhu Cilang, the generals of the vassal state who held military power, could not be moved lightly for the time being, but Zhu Cilang, the civil officials and nobles in Nanjing, could be as simple as killing them.

Kill him, kill him, his head rolls, his body, blood! The Ming Dynasty will never leave any wolves and dogs, and it will be full of all the animals that are full of one's clothes!
