Zhu Xizhong was imprisoned.
But the problem is still there, that is, someone needs to rectify the Beijing camp.
For the time being, we can’t say that we have been reorganized and can fight well, but at least the list of the Ministry of War must be true!
Zhu Zaijing still needs someone to thoroughly investigate the capital camp, to find out those who are eating empty pay, and to get rid of those ghost soldiers who are only on the list but have been dead for decades in reality.
The best candidate for this person is Zhu Xizhong's eldest son, Zhu Shitai.
This person is still young now, only 24 years old now. He will just graduate from college in future generations. In this era, he is already a person who can make soy sauce even for children.
Historically, this man succeeded his father's title in the second year of Wanli and became the eighth Duke of Cheng, but he died that year.
He and Xu Jie's son are brothers-in-law, and the son-in-law of Lu Bing, the previous commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Lu Bing had five daughters, one married to Yan Song's grandson, one to Zhu Shitai, and one to Xu Ying, Xu Jie's son.
Coupled with Jiajing's status as a child, he became the most powerful Jinyiwei commander in history.
Moreover, his family was not liquidated after his death. Although his family was still confiscated by Long Qing in the end, his descendants were not beheaded. Finally, with Zhang Juzheng's plea, he was released from prison by Wanli.
It can be regarded as the one with the best ending among the Jinyiwei leaders in the past.
"Mr. Xu Ge?"
"I'm here."
"Draft another imperial edict to order Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang to bring two thousand Zhejiang troops to Beijing within a month."
"You have also seen that the capital camp is now in ruins. Order them to come back and train!"
Zhu Zaijing held his forehead and said tiredly.
"Your Majesty, Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang left Southeast, I'm afraid..."
"It's no problem, Mr. Ge!" Yang Bo said, "Japanese pirates won't make trouble at this time of year. Besides, Yu Dayou and the others are still here, so there won't be any problem."
"If this is not possible, the cabinet will send a message to the southeastern provinces to pay close attention to the Japanese pirates. If there is any trouble, it will be too late to send Qi Jiguang and Tan Lun back."
Zhu Zaijing looked over and saw that Gao Gong was speaking.
Sure enough, his teacher still stood firmly on his side.
"I'm here to help!" Zhang Juzheng stood up and went over to polish Xu Jie's ink.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but feel a little warmer in his heart.
At least the performance of these ministers these days is quite impressive.
After everyone got up again, Zhu Zaijing also slowly calmed down.
"I think the people who want to rectify the capital camp should send Zhu Xizhong's eldest son Zhu Shitai to do it, so that he can pay for his crimes with his merits. What do you think?"
Listening to the emperor's intention, everyone seemed to be a little partial to Cheng Guogong and his family?
In fact, it is not the case, but the sound of the air in the Beijing camp involves many people below. Those nobles and nobles in Beijing, many military generals, as well as people from the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. How many people are involved here?
If it were someone else to do it, they would definitely worry about these factors, fearing that they would offend others and eventually fool themselves as the emperor, and when the time comes they would have no choice but to release Zhu Xizhong if they were dissatisfied.
But if Zhu Shitai came to do this, the resistance would not be so great.
First, Cheng Guogong's family was the most popular noble family in the Jiajing Dynasty, and they were also one of the most trusted people in Jiajing, so it was easier to talk to the nobles.
Second, Zhu Xizhong has promoted most of the people in the Beijing Camp over the past ten years. Many people in the Shenji Camp, the 12th Regiment Camp, and the 5th Army Camp were beholden to him.
Now that his son is eager to save his father, it is hard for those people to turn a blind eye. They will definitely help Zhu Shitai with his errands, and they can also intensify their efforts to search out the invisible vacancies underneath.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War can cooperate with Mr. Zhu to conduct a thorough investigation of the capital camp!" Yang Bo said.
The Gengxu Incident further strengthened the civilian control of the Beijing camp. Now the Beijing camp is nominally directly under the emperor's orders, but in fact it is under the control of the Ministry of War.
"Feng Bao."
"His Majesty."
"Dongchang cooperates with the Ministry of War and fully assists Zhu Shitai in conducting a thorough investigation of the capital camp!"
"This slave accepts the order!"
"Master Yang, please pay more attention to the cancellation of taxes in military fields. Taiyue, please assist Zhu Shitai regarding the Beijing camp."
"yes!"
Is the Ministry of War conducting a thorough investigation into the capital camp? Just kidding?
Are you checking yourself?
But Zhu Zaijing believed in Zhang Juzheng, and sent people from Dongchang to assist in order to facilitate Zhang Juzheng's salary check to the greatest extent.
Zhu Zaijing stood up and took a deep breath.
"I will tell Zhu Shitai again that Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang will bring the Zhejiang army to Beijing in a month. If the salary of the Beijing camp has not been checked by then, they can take his family back to his hometown in Huaiyuan, Nanzhili!"
"I don't want him anymore!"
After speaking, without waiting for others to interrupt, Zhu Zaijing broke the tea cup in his hand and walked out angrily.
All the cabinet members were stunned.
Does the emperor dare to kill Zhu Xizhong?
This is what many of them suspect.
Zhu Xizhong was the one who rescued Jiajing from the fire with Lu Bing!
In recent years, apart from the Ying Gong family, the most powerful family has been the Cheng Guo Gong family.
Zhang Juzheng also held the official position of Minister of War. He was determined to keep a close eye on this matter and not disappoint the emperor.
Gao Gong also frowned, thinking that this was the first time the emperor was so angry. As a teacher, he had to help Zhang Juzheng in the cabinet to handle this matter.
Especially if someone involves Xu Jie and makes things difficult, Gao Gong will intervene.
An hour later, the Duke's Mansion was established.
A group of Dongchang fans were surrounding the house, each with a frosty face, their hands on the hilt of the sword on their waist, exuding an aura of majesty.
In the house, a young eunuch was reading the imperial edict.
"Zhu Xizhong failed to manage the army well, which resulted in a serious shortage of pay in the capital camp. He deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates. As a leader, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities. As a minister, he did not try his best. He will be dismissed from the Duke's position. He will be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and taken back to the palace. All rewards are here for you!"
Zhu Shitai led everyone in the Zhu family to kneel on the ground to welcome the imperial edict.
Behind him, a group of female relatives and servants were crying.
"Stop crying!" Zhu Shitai said after receiving the imperial edict, "The Zhu family has been embarrassed enough. We need to go back to the house and howl!"
Hearing this, everyone's crying stopped abruptly.
"Sir, we still have the Holy Spirit's oral instructions for you to listen to."
Zhu Shitai knelt down respectfully again.
"Your Majesty said: If you still want me, thoroughly investigate the issue of empty wages in the Beijing camp within a month, give me an explanation, and make meritorious service for me. If you don't want me to come out, pack up quickly and go back to your hometown in Nanzhili. !”
The little eunuch bowed slightly, and then led a group of Dongchang fans to carry a group of gold and silver jewelry, ceramic python robes, etc. that had been given to the palace since the Jiajing Dynasty, and took down the sign of Chengguo Gong's Palace, and walked out.
Looking at their backs, Zhu Shitai said in his heart, "Dad, I told you that Dabao would change ownership and wipe your butt clean, but you always refused to listen. Are you okay now?"
"Ahhhhh!"
A scream came from behind.
Zhu Shitai looked back and saw that his old mother had fainted.
