Wang Chengen's expression was indifferent and he ducked into the hall again.
after awhile.
Wang Chengen walked out again, and then shouted loudly: "Yulin Guards, all come out!"
Not a moment later.
In the Yuehua Gate and Sunjing Gate, more than fifty flag officers of the Yulin Guards, wearing goose feathers on their hats and wearing brocade robes, immediately stood out.
Wang Chengen also came over and asked the banner officers of the Yulin Guards: "Your Majesty asked, do you also want to intercede for Luo Sigong? Are you going to resist the decree because of this?"
Ma Xianglin and other flag officers of the Yulin Guard were all stunned.
They also didn't expect that they had been training the new recruits well in Huangzhuang, but they were suddenly asked to assemble, and were asked to wear armor and carry swords into the palace to escort them to Qianqing Palace.
And they didn't expect that the emperor's first order to them was to hack Luo Sigong, the left commander of the Imperial Guard, to death with a knife.
Although these flag officers of the Habayashi Guard are either general disciples or outstanding soldiers, all of them are highly skilled in martial arts and familiar with battle formations, this is the first time they have faced this kind of situation.
So, I hesitated for a moment.
After all, it was the commander of Jinyiwei who wanted them to kill.
after awhile.
Luo Zhijie, who usually talks the least, stood up first.
Crack!
Luo Zhijie pursed his lips and pulled out the Yuci Xiuchun knife.
Then, Luo Zhijie held the embroidered spring knife horizontally and walked towards Luo Sigong, who was surrounded by the royal guards.
Ma Xianglin remembered Zhu Youxiao's words that "a soldier must obey orders as his bounden duty", he also drew his sword and followed Luo Zhijie.
Seeing this, Chen Xin simply gritted his teeth, pulled out his Xiuchun knife, and followed Ma Xianglin.
Zhou Yuji also realized that this was a time to test the loyalty of people like himself, so he also drew his knife, and then followed Chen Xin and walked over.
Crack!
When Lu Xiangsheng saw Zhou Yuji passing by, he clenched his fists and then pulled out the Xiuchundao.
Seeing this, the other flag officers of the Habayashi Guards also drew their swords.
In the end, even the most timid and hesitant Guo Mu had no choice but to draw his sword and follow him.
…
The royal guards were shocked when they saw this.
Luo Sigong, who was still calm and composed, began to look panicked as he listened to the orderly footsteps. He could feel that these people were obviously well-trained people, and there was a sense of panic in their walking pace. The oppressive feeling of thousands of troops marching!
Luo Zhijie was the first to walk in, completely ignoring the imperial guards kneeling around him, only staring at Luo Sigong, and then walked up to Luo Sigong.
Just raise the knife and drop it.
"ah!"
Luo Sigong was slashed on the back, and the open mouth of the python robe suddenly soaked with blood.
"Your Majesty! The inner minister is guilty! To tell the truth, the inner minister had to do this because he had a relationship with Li Sancai. The inner minister was once a guard in the East Palace of the late emperor. In order to help the late emperor fight for the foundation of the country, he had no choice but to collude with the people of Donglin. He informed them of the late emperor's ambitions. I was worried that Li Sancai had evidence of bribing the ministers and asking the ministers to steal and sell the late emperor's belongings, so he had no choice but to try to use the power of the scholars to get past this hurdle! However, the ministers ignored the emperor's instructions. The Yulin Guards are more loyal and brave than the Jinyi Guards. I beg the Emperor to give me the whole body of my ministers. I beg the Emperor, and the ministers can be considered as having shed blood and sweat for the late emperor!"
Luo Sigong gritted his teeth and shouted.
Click!
Chen Xin's knife fell and cut off Luo Sigong's left arm on the spot.
"ah!"
Luo Sigong screamed.
Immediately afterwards, more embroidered spring knives fell, like red plum blossoms blooming where white snow was flying.
In the end, Luo Sigong turned into a pool of blood and mud.
"Your Majesty also wants to ask, do the rest of the Jin Yiwei really want to speak for this rebellious minister?!"
Wang Chengen spat out each word one by one, and asked again with some trembling.
Seeing Luo Sigong being stabbed one after another by more than fifty people, he was naturally frightened.
"The internal minister Tian Ergen dare not disobey the decree!"
Tian Ergen stood up first. He didn't want to accompany Luo Sigong to death. It was a matter of love to plead for him, but he also didn't want to risk his own life.
Because, he found that these Habayashi guards in front of him were simply killing machines. They didn't say a word, but chopped people without blinking. This made him, a self-proclaimed ruthless person, tremble with fear.
"The internal minister Xu Xianchun dare not disobey the decree!"
Xu Xianchun also stood up.
"The internal minister Yang Huan dare not disobey the order!"
Yang Huan also stood up immediately.
"The internal minister Sun Yunhe dare not disobey the decree!"
Sun Yunhe also stood up immediately.
For a moment, the imperial guards stood up one after another.
"The internal minister Luo Yangxing dare not disobey the decree!"
Even Luo Yangxing, Luo Sigong's son who surrendered to the Manchus in history, did not choose to continue kneeling because of his father's death, but also stood up.
Wu Mengming and other imperial guards who were still kneeling stood up when they saw Luo Yangxing, and were both surprised and contemptuous.
This is your father!
For a moment, Wu Mengming stood up when he saw this. He was originally dissatisfied with Luo Sigong's attitude towards the troublemaking scholars in front of the Jinyiwei Hall, so he followed up and said: "Minister Wu Mengming dare not disobey the order!"
The other Jinyi guards who were very affectionate with Luo Sigong all stopped speaking for their father when they saw Luo Yangxing as his son, and they all simply stood up.
In the end, only Zhu Li and a few other royal guards were still kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Chengen entered the hall again.
After a while, Wang Chengen came out again and said: "My lord, you are still kneeling and you have obviously forgotten whose retainers you are! But my lord thinks that after all, you were once royal retainers and you also made contributions to the royal family. You are allowed to commit suicide as an apology, as it is a family law! Now commit suicide with the embroidered spring knife given by your emperor!"
"yes!"
Zhu Li first pulled out the Xiuchun knife, gritted his teeth, and then wiped his neck.
Most of the other imperial guards who had not yet gotten up glared at Luo Yangxing and then wiped their own necks.
Luo Yangxing kept his head down, not daring to look at these people who had to commit suicide because they had too much involvement with his father.
…
Half an hour later, the Forbidden City was stained with a layer of ink. Wang Chengen carried a lantern and came to a room on the west side of Qianqing Gate. He half-bent and said: "Your Majesty, it's over. Luo Sigong really takes him seriously." Everyone has taken care of the matter."
After a while, the door opened.
Zhu Youxiao, who was wearing a military uniform with arrow sleeves and a sword, came out with a crossbow and strode back to the Qianqing Palace: "Pass the decree! Kill the nine Luo Sigong clan! Order the Jin Yiwei to deal with it immediately and clean up the door without going outside. Executed by the court! Order Wei Zhongxian to take charge of this matter!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Wang Chengen replied.
Zhu Youxiao suddenly stopped, looked at the floor tiles that had been washed but still had red marks and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will immediately order someone to replace the floor tiles!"
"yes!"
Wang Chengen replied again.
"Except for the officials of more than 100 Jinyiwei households, are there any changes in other Jinyiwei?"
Zhu Youxiao asked again.
"As far as the emperor is concerned, no."
Wang Chengen replied.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and ordered: "Password, from now on, the inner guards of the Meridian Gate of Miyagi City, the Jinyi Guards and the Yulin Guards, will each have half of their troops on duty, and they will not be subordinate to each other!"
"yes!"
Wang Chengen continued to reply.
Zhu Youxiao had been secretly observing the scene that had just happened, and he also knew that none of the flag officers of the Yulin Guards chose to intercede for Luo Sigong, the left commander of the Jinyi Guards, when they killed him.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also recorded the order in which the fifty general flag officers used their swords.
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Youxiao returned to the Qianqing Palace, he immediately took out the note and wrote down something.
Luo Zhijie: Decisive and hard-hearted, he usually talks the least, but this time he was the first to kill Luo Sigong. This shows that he has courage and is not afraid of offending the powerful, and can be used to maintain military law.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao then ordered: "The decree is passed that the Yulin Guards will set up a Zhenfu Division, which will be responsible for the military discipline of the Yulin Guards. Luo Zhijie was promoted to the position of the Qianhu Division of the Zhenfu Division and the Yulin Guards Zhenfu Division. He was ordered to leave the Yulin Guards. One hundred soldiers were selected from the guard to be responsible for maintaining the military discipline of the Habayashi Guards in the future."
Of course, Zhu Youxiao did not intend to let go of the group of scholars who caused trouble in the Jinyiwei Hall.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao immediately asked Wang Chengen to call Wei Zhongxian after conveying the corresponding decree, and told Wei Zhongxian: "While killing the nine Luo Sigong clan, all the scholars who made trouble in Jinyiwei were sent to the imperial edict, and the main culprit was interrogated. , kill all the accomplices first!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Wei Zhongxian replied.
But at this time, Wang Chengen suddenly ran in: "Your Majesty! The cabinet ministers and the six ministries are asking for an audience!"
"I must be here for those scholars!"
Zhu Youxiao frowned.
