Ji Gang was born in Linyi.
In the second year of Jianwen, he took refuge with Zhu Di.
Zhu Di saw that he was proficient in bow and horse and had extraordinary courage, so he accepted him as a personal soldier.
Because he was good at catering, he was awarded the title of Jinyiwei Qianhu by Zhu Di.
After Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guards, in charge of the pro-army and the imperial edict.
Zhu Di was responsible for many things that were inconvenient for him to do.
For example, Chen Ying, an old minister of Jianwen and the censor of Zuodu, was responsible for solving the problem, involving tens of thousands of people.
Ji Gang is unruly, scheming, and good at catering to those in power.
He appointed many lieutenants, collected intelligence, imposed harsh punishments, framed and slandered, and eradicated dissidents.
After being promoted by Zhu Di to the rank of commander of the capital, and also in charge of the royal guards, his power could be said to have reached its peak.
And this also gave him undue ambition.
He hid armor and weapons privately and trained dead soldiers.
His wolfish ambition is obvious.
…
Royal study room.
The huge sound of cannons came over, and Zhu Di suddenly stood up from the dragon chair.
Quickly walked to the door of the imperial study room.
"Where to have sex?"
"Where to have sex?"
"Looking in the direction, it seems that Ji Gang's mansion is over there."
Yang Xuan walked to Zhu Di's side, thought about it for a moment, and said.
"Go and see what's going on?" Zhu Di said to Wang Zhong, who had been standing outside.
"yes."
"What did the third child do? It's just to arrest someone, but you also need to use cannons?"
Zhu Di muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Let's wait and see. Maybe something unexpected happened in the middle." Yang Xuan said.
"What kind of surprise could there be?" Zhu Di said indifferently.
Yang Xuan didn't say anything else. He would find out when Wang Zhong came back.
After waiting for a long time, Wang Zhong finally came back.
"Your Majesty, the traitor Ji Gang raised many dead soldiers in his mansion and set up many hidden mechanisms."
"The resistance was very strong. In order to avoid excessive losses of soldiers, His Royal Highness King Zhao specially dispatched artillery."
"When the servant passed by, the traitor had already surrendered."
See, this is the art of speaking.
It was obvious that the cannon could not be attacked in a short period of time, the casualties were too high, and the artillery was deployed only when there was no other way.
But when it came to Wang Zhong's words, Xiao Laosan became a person who cherished the lives of soldiers.
The people around the emperor just know how to talk.
Yang Xuan couldn't help but glance at him and gave him a smile.
Wang Zhong also responded with a polite smile at the right time.
When Zhu Di heard Wang Zhong's report, he just snorted lightly and said nothing.
However, Yang Xuan noticed that the muscles on his face relaxed a little.
After another incense stick, Xiao Laosan sent someone to report: the rebel Ji Gang had been captured and was already in jail.
More than an hour later, Xiao Laosan entered the palace to report the situation.
"Father, Ji Gang and all their confidants have been captured. Please forgive me."
"Let's go take a look. I want to ask Ji Gang a few questions."
Zhu Di said.
Afterwards, the group of people came to the prison.
Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang who was tied up and miserable, and asked the doubts in his heart:
"Ji Gang, I ask myself that I treat you well, but why did you betray me?"
Hearing this, Ji Gang drooped his eyelids and glanced at Zhu Di with great disdain.
"Oh, a real man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time under human beings?"
"I also want to sit in the ninth-five supreme position."
"Is Your Majesty satisfied with this answer?"
"Ahem!!"
Ji Gang was about to laugh, but his injuries were affected and he could only cough in pain.
Hearing Ji Gang's answer, Zhu Di's face trembled, obviously angry.
He put his hands on his hips and paced in place, letting out a low laugh from time to time.
"Haha, hahaha..."
"I hunt geese all day long, but the geese peck my eyes out."
"I don't know people well, so I didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf."
"Haha, it's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!"
Judging from Zhu Di's current state, he was obviously furious.
Ji Gang also endured the pain in his body and laughed wildly.
Yang Xuan, who was next to him, was afraid that Zhu Di would be angry, so he quickly said: "Let him shut his mouth."
Then he took Zhu Di and left the prison.
All the way back to the imperial study, Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore.
"I will chop him into pieces with a thousand knives and crush his bones into ashes."
"Okay, it's all up to you. You can do whatever you want with it."
Yang Xuan helped Zhu Di soothe his chest and persuaded him, "He's just a rebellious minister, he doesn't need such a big temper!"
"You are already a young man. If you make yourself angry, you will regret it."
Zhu Di knocked Yang Xuan's hand off and gave him a look.
Then he said angrily: "Okay, I'm not as fragile as you think."
…
Regarding the Ji Gang case, Zhu Di's attitude is very clear.
Be quick, be serious, be strict.
In just three days, the imperial prison was filled with people, and even the prison of the Ministry of Punishment had many new guests.
Royal study room.
Xiao Laosan is reporting the situation to Zhu Di.
"Father, most of Ji Gang's accomplices have been arrested and brought to justice. The rest have been sent to arrest them and will be escorted to Beijing soon."
"Yeah." Zhu Di responded lightly.
"From now on, you should put Jin Yiwei in good order. I don't want something like this to happen again."
Zhu Di looked at Xiao Laosan thoughtfully and said.
"Yes, Father."
Xiao Laosan said respectfully.
He knew that the Emperor's father was beating himself up.
There are also people he has placed among the Jinyi Guards, and the Emperor's father knows all this.
"Well, let's get down!"
"My son, please retire!"
After Xiao Laosan exited the imperial study, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The emperor's father's bloodline suppression was already strong, not to mention that he was in a bad mood these past few days. The little old man was under even greater pressure when facing his father.
After walking out of the palace, the young man walked straight towards the Jinyiwei Yamen.
His expression was gloomy and he was obviously in a bad mood.
…
This time, Zhu Di quickly suppressed the rebel Ji Gang with thunderous power.
Most of the court officials were implicated and became the so-called accomplices of the discipline.
But there are definitely not so many real comrades.
Those who were arrested were basically those who wanted to prevent Zhu Di from promoting the idea of dividing households into acres and returning fire to the public.
After all, these two policies have greatly harmed their interests.
It was expected that they would resist.
However, through this case, all civil and military officials also understood Zhu Di's attitude.
No one thinks their head is tough enough anymore and wants to touch Zhu Di's knife.
And with so many officials in jail, government affairs will inevitably be affected.
Fortunately, there were many reserve officials in the Hanlin Academy, and Zhu Di ordered to select a group of students from the Imperial Academy to fill the vacancies.
Lao Zhu did the same thing when he bloodbathed the court. He just killed a group of officials in the morning.
In the afternoon, students from the Imperial College were selected to fill the vacancies.
It can be described as a seamless connection.
There is also the prince Zhu Gaochi, who is very capable and leads the cabinet to handle government affairs. Apart from the decrease in the efficiency of handling government affairs, other aspects have not been greatly affected.
The capital, which had been under martial law for three days, also lifted the alert at this time.
