In Qianqing Palace and Xinuang Pavilion, Chongzhen looked at the ministers opposite with cold eyes.
"What do you have to say?" Chongzhen threw the edited edict on the ground.
This matter cannot be said or explained.
Since Hongzhi, those who have been in charge of the capital camp cannot also be in charge of the patrol camp.
This is the ancestral family law.
Everyone said nothing, lowered their heads and said nothing, just pretending to be dead dogs.
This matter is too deep to interfere with. On one side are the top dignitaries of the admiral's camp, and on the other side is the powerful Donglin elder.
The person on duty that day was Liu Hongxun, the elder of the pavilion, and he was the most suspicious.
The genius Xin Donglin has no intention, it is just Liu Hongxun's personal behavior of greed for money.
Thinking about the collusion between the top civil servants and the top military officials makes people sweat coldly.
In the 19th year of Yongle's reign, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. The Five-City Military and Horse Division that maintained public security in Beijing became a full-time agency responsible for maintaining public security in the capital.
During the Hongzhi period, with political corruption and acute social conflicts, public security in the capital deteriorated day by day.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division in patrolling and detecting theft, the patrol battalion was formally established.
The patrol camp was established under the background that since the mid-Ming Dynasty, social security had been deteriorating and the five-city military and horse divisions were unable to perform patrol functions.
The patrol battalion was officially established during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. It has positions such as admiral, central officer, left and right staff generals, and commander-in-chief. The admiral is mostly led by military generals with relatively high official rank.
The main duties of the patrol battalion are to patrol and catch robbers, supplemented by the control and removal of homeless people and the execution of some temporary tasks.
The affairs of the patrol battalion are mainly managed by the patrol camp and the Ministry of War. However, in actual implementation, there are departments that have overlapping functions or cooperate with the patrol battalion, such as Jinyiwei, Shuntian Prefecture (Wan and Daer counties), and the patrol censor. They all have a certain say in patrol camp affairs.
The work in the patrol camp is not easy, there are many mothers-in-law, and the affairs are complicated. Working two shifts a day, one during the day and one at night, it was very hard.
They are in charge of all kinds of miscellaneous matters on the ground of the capital, ranging from trivial matters to roosters and dog robbers, to major criminal cases. The salary is not high and the responsibility is not small.
Unlike Dongchang Jinyiwei, their power is only to arrest. If they arrest someone, they have to be sent to Shuntian Mansion, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei Yamen for justice. It’s actually a chore.
However, they are down-to-earth and have contact with all three religions and nine streams.
Therefore, although the yamen has a low level and a small organization, they are the real local snakes in Sijiu City.
There is no information that they cannot find out, and there is nothing that they cannot handle.
As long as there are illegal activities, you will never be able to do it without their approval.
This naturally also brings huge benefits.
"Fortunately, Zheng Qixin was alert and loyal. Only then did he discover the problem with the imperial edict. I would like to ask, why is it that the edict with such a big problem has gone through many levels of agencies, and the review and approval time has been so long, and has gone through so many people? Found out." Chongzhen's face turned pale with anger.
Donglin and Xungui are colluding, what do you want to do?
The highest officer of the patrol camp is the admiral of the patrol camp, who is referred to as the admiral of the patrol camp. Zheng Qixin, who is a hereditary military officer of the Guard, is currently in office.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the garrison collapsed, and for the sake of national defense, soldiers were gradually recruited to fight.
The guard station was repositioned as a regular army and was mainly used for local defense and public security.
The battalions were positioned as guerrilla troops, that is, the troops commanded by the guerrilla generals, and were used for mobile warfare. That is, the field corps.
The officers of the battalion, that is, the battalion officers, mainly come from the group of guards officers, from whom they are drawn.
During the Wanli period, several generals who came to the state camp from Shandong were all transferred to the positions of guards. However, the guards mostly served as commanders of Qianshi and Jinyiwei Qianhu.
Therefore, Yang Fan, as the commander of the Zunhua Guard and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is qualified to be transferred out and serve as a senior official of the camp. For example, being promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief or deputy general of a newly established battalion.
During the Chongzhen period, there were two candidates for the chief military officer of the Xuanfu. One was Dong Jishu, who entered the official position from Longmen Suo Baihu. He served successively as the governor, Tongzhi, and the general secretary of the governor, and was later promoted to the chief military officer of Gansu.
Another candidate was Zheng Qixin, who was born as the commander of the Luzhou Guard. This shows that the source of battalion officials was very single.
At this time, in order to strengthen the troops under his own control in the capital, Chongzhen transferred Dong Jishu, the general of Xuanfu, to Fengtai as a field mobile force that he could directly control.
At the same time, Zheng Qixin was also transferred to the capital to supervise the patrol camp. In charge of public security in the capital.
With these two people, one outside and one inside, controlling military power respectively, he could sit back and relax in the Forbidden City.
Especially Zheng Qixin, after taking charge of the patrol camp, he did his job very effectively. He knew everything about the big and small affairs in the capital.
He became the emperor's most important eyes and ears.
Even sometimes, the urban foxes, social rats, three religions and nine schools, and ruffians under their control can find out important information that Dongchang and Jinyiwei don't know.
This time, Zheng Qixin played an important role.
People in Donglin didn't know that Zheng Qixin was the emperor's secret agent. Seeing him as a commander of a local guard station with no deep background, he was transferred to Beijing. Despise him, thinking that he dare not prick.
Unexpectedly, Lard was so fooled that he directly modified the text in the imperial edict. The patrol camp was moved away directly.
This is simply arrogant and authoritarian. Unexpectedly, the emperor was behind Zheng Qixin. He didn't bother them at all and was directly reported by Zheng Qixin.
It reminds me that Governor Yuan just passed the mutiny and took away the governor of Liaodong. Now Liaodong is completely dominated by Donglin. Even basic checks and balances are gone. Chongzhen was in a very bad mood.
Now except Mao Wenlong of Pi Dao, Yuan Chonghuan of Liaodong has already covered the sky with one hand. At this time, the emperor already regretted that he was too excited and was deceived by Yuan Chonghuan's five-year return to Liao Dynasty.
"Today, if you don't tell me clearly about the imperial edict, it's impossible for you to pass the test. How did the edict come to have these four extra words?" Chongzhen refused to give up. It's impossible for you to pass the test without speaking. Of.
He told Li Juesi about the matter: "The manuscript has been sent to the Ministry of War and sent to the auxiliary ministers for judgment, and I ordered Zhongshu to write it. After writing, review it and submit it. Both the Ministry of War and the auxiliary ministers should ask questions.
The Minister of War, Wang Zaijin, broke out in cold sweat.
This edict was drafted by the Ministry of War and sent to the cabinet ministers for approval.
It was impossible for him not to know whether these four words were in the text, and there was no way he could shirk it.
"Wang Aiqing, please tell me, you added these four words." Chongzhen looked at him with bright eyes and asked each word.
Wang Zaijin was frightened to death. This was a serious crime of beheading. How could he bear it?
"No, I didn't add it to you." Wang Zaijin hurriedly explained.
"I ask you, does the edict drafted by your Ministry of War contain these words?"
Wang Zaijin hesitated and couldn't speak.
Chongzhen was so angry that he turned around and asked the four pavilion elders. The four pavilion elders all shook their heads to express their ignorance.
Chongzhen turned around and asked the person involved, Zhang Qingzhen, the admiral of the Beijing Camp, "Did you ask for these four words to be added? Who did you find and who did it for you?"
Zhang Qingzhen said that he had no idea about this matter, and these four words were on the letter he received.
Qing Zhen said: "Changing the edict is a matter of writing, and I didn't know it beforehand. And if we increase the jurisdiction over arresting soldiers, how much profit can we make? Is this a heavy bribery?"
Chongzhen was furious, seeing that this matter had led to Rashomon.
Chongzhen was furious and asked Tian Jiabi, a member of Zhongshushe, to come forward. He asked: "After the imperial edict is approved by the cabinet ministers, you will copy it and the original will be kept by you. Tell me, when you get the edict, will it contain these four words?"
Tian Jiabi was not the Minister of War in Jin Dynasty. He dared to carry this thunder. He was so frightened that he knelt down and shouted loudly: "When I copied it, these four words were already there. I thought your Majesty agreed with it, so I copied it down." Sent."
Tian Jiabi actually dared to say that these four words came from the cabinet.
Suddenly the four pavilion elders were all shocked and stared angrily. Tian Jiabi was so frightened that he peed.
"Go to Zhongshu immediately and retrieve the original documents of the cabinet ministers' instructions to see if they are there." Chongzhen sneered, wanting to show off his wits to me. Let me see how you die.
Write a book
After a while, the original file came over, but it didn't have these four words on it.
It became clear that these four words were added by Zhongshu Sheren when he was re-copying.
"Where is the Jin Yiwei? He immediately locked up Tian Jiabi. The person in the Zhongshu House had the responsibility to verify the imperial edict. He neglected his duty and had ulterior motives. He became even more frenzied and made alterations without authorization. Because he was ordered to verify the Zhongshu and bribe him to change it, he ordered Tian Jiabi, the person in the Zhongshu House, to be imprisoned. If you are tortured severely, you must find out who is behind it." Chongzhen became furious and ordered loudly.
Luo Yangxing immediately waved his hand, and the Han general in the royal guard in front of the palace stepped forward to lock Tian Jiabi, the man in the middle study room.
"I don't believe it anymore. I still don't understand this matter. Luo Yangxing, you let go of the torture. I want the consequences."
"No!" Luo Yangxing accepted the order, feeling happy in his heart.
Donglin, you also have today.
His cold eyes roamed Qian Longxi's body, and Qian Longxi felt chilled when he saw it.
