Chapter 240: Clear up the civil strife and kill the traitors!
In the period that followed, Xuanwu told Wang Yue and others everything that had happened in the capital over the past month.
When Wang Yue understood the whole story, he felt both lucky and ashamed.
As the governor of the southwest and the general who conquered the barbarians, he was the governor of the southwest that Zhu Youtang personally resurrected, and he held the 100,000 troops allocated to him by Zhu Youtang.
But in this mutiny and coup, he did nothing, which made him unworthy of his trust in Zhu Youtang!
"It's actually like this. Such a treasonous thing happened in the capital!"
"Forcing the capital to move, Yu Shen seizing power, and proclaiming himself emperor are all traitors and traitors!"
"It's a shame that I was fooled by these traitors. Not only did I not rush to your Majesty's aid immediately, but I was watched by these traitors and lost control of the army."
"Wei Chen, Wei Chen is so unworthy of the emperor's kindness!"
Wang Yue's face was filled with tears and full of regret.
Looking at the captured guards in the school grounds, their eyes were filled with murderous intent.
After being defeated, these government guards wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the military camp.
But they were blocked by the Ming army who surrounded the military camp. After a struggle, they could only become prisoners.
In the military camp, these government guards were bossy and full of superiority, and their attitude towards these ordinary sergeants was even worse.
These sergeants had long been dissatisfied with the government guards, and now they even killed them.
Dozens of Fujun guards were killed on the spot, and the remaining Fujun guards who surrendered and were captured were also covered in scars.
Seeing Wang Yue blaming himself so much, Zhang Yong sighed softly and comforted him in a low voice.
"Governor Wang does not need to blame himself so much. It was Na Yu who deliberately blocked the news, and Zhao Xun came with the imperial edict..."
"This matter must not be entirely blamed on you."
"Yes, Governor Wang."
Ma Yongcheng also went on to say: "Your Majesty's decree in the imperial edict to continue letting you lead troops to Annan proves that Your Majesty is also aware of your difficulties and does not blame you."
"Mr. Governor, please do not blame yourself and belittle yourself!"
The words of the two Dongchang stall owners did not have much effect. Wang Yue was still in a state of self-blame.
At this time, Wang Yue took out two letters from his arms.
"Governor Wang, these two letters were sent to you by Governor Wang himself before I set off."
"Please accept it."
"Letter? Wang Zhi's letter?"
Wang Yue turned around in confusion and took the two letters from Xuanwu's hand.
When he saw the signature of the letter, his body couldn't help but tremble.
One letter was signed by Wang Chun, and the other by Wang Shi.
It was his two sons who asked Wang Zhi from the Xuan Mansion to bring letters home to Wang Yue.
Wang Yue's chest rose and fell rapidly. He had not seen these two sons for many years, and the annual correspondence was very limited.
Wang Yue tore open the two letters and read them.
When he read these two letters and learned that his eldest son Wang Chun had been named the chief military officer of the Xuanfu by Zhu Youtang, he was surprised and happy.
At the same time, I am even more grateful for Zhu Youtang's kindness.
"Your Majesty's holy grace is so great that I am worthy of it!"
Xuanwu said: "Since the Governor is deeply blessed by the Holy Spirit, he should fulfill His Majesty's orders well."
"The Governor-General should cheer up as soon as possible and send troops to Annan."
"When your lord brings the whole of Annan back into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you will be able to live up to the divine grace."
Xuanwu's words gave Wang Yue great encouragement and helped him regain his energy.
"The general is right, County Annan can't wait any longer."
"Send the order and prepare immediately. The army will continue its journey to Annan tomorrow!"
"As for these traitors..."
Wang Yue looked at the hundreds of prisoners of war in the school grounds, and a ruthless look flashed in the eyes of this civil servant.
"Behead them all and sacrifice them to the flag!"
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
Wang Yue's order was quickly implemented.
The Ming troops from the three major battalions in the capital held these rebels to the ground one by one and beheaded them on the spot!
The miserable howl echoed over the military camp, which made Wang Yue let out a fierce breath.
Later, Wang Yue asked Xuanwu again: "When the general returns, can you send a letter home for my son?"
Xuanwu nodded: "This is natural."
"Thank you, General."
Wang Yue returned to the military tent and quickly wrote a letter home and handed it to Xuanwu.
There are not many words in the letter, only one sentence, which is particularly important.
"Do your best and serve the country with loyalty!"
Xuanwu accepted the letter and completed his task, so he didn't stay any longer and set off back to Beijing the next day.
At the same time, the 100,000-strong army led by Wang Yue also went south again, heading towards Annan.
……
South Zhili.
Xuzhou Prefecture.
Feng County.
This is the northernmost county in Nanzhili.
Wang Yan, Yang Jizong and Qin Lu, who led the officials to inspect the land in the world, had just stepped into the land of southern Zhili, but they were urgently stopped by Yu Shen.
Like Wang Yue, officials from Nanjing came to force them to stop all work with Zhu Youqian's imperial edict.
There are also government military guards accompanying him to keep him under strict guard. The imperial edict is true, the orders are true, and even the officials are true.
Wang Yan and others couldn't figure out the specific situation, so they were controlled by these people in Feng County for more than a month.
It is much easier to control people like Wang Yan than to control Wang Yue's army of 100,000.
Under Yu Shen's interference, the entire Ming Dynasty's inventory of the world's fields was put on hold.
Wang Yan was like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously walking around the room in the post station.
"They will not let us check, but they won't let us leave, and they won't even let us return to Beijing to recover. What on earth do they want to do?!"
Since they were prevented from continuing to inspect the fields, Wang Yan, Yang Jizong and others were effectively placed under house arrest in Fengxian Station, unable to leave.
Compared with Wang Yan's impatience, Yang Jizong's Qi-nurturing skills are obviously better.
He was drinking tea and reading a book, looking unusually calm.
"Master Yang, why are you..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Wang Yan was jumping wildly in anxiety, and just when he was about to say something, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and Xu Hong, a doctor from the Nanjing Criminal Department, came to the room with meals in person.
"Two adults, please have a meal."
Xu Hong put the food on the table and made an inviting gesture to Wang Yan and Yang Jizong.
Seeing Xu Hong, Wang Yan felt itchy with hatred.
It was this guy who, with a group of government military guards and Zhu Youqian's imperial edict, suspended their work and put them under house arrest in a disguised form for more than a month.
Such treatment made Wang Yan go crazy with frustration.
"Master Xu, how long do you want to lock us up?"
"Even if we are not allowed to continue to clear the land, we must still be allowed to return to Beijing to report to His Majesty, right?"
"Do you think this is appropriate for you to keep us in the inn like this?"
"Suitable, so suitable."
Xu Hong said with a smile: "It's not that I won't let you go, it's because I have orders."
"Besides, Yu Shaobao has issued an order. The capital is under martial law. No one is allowed to enter or exit the capital without Mr. Yu's order."
"Even if I let you leave, you won't be able to go back to the capital."
"The two adults are busy with official duties. It is rare for them to have free time. There is still food and drink here. Why not just drink tea and read a book in this inn? How pleasant it would be."
"Look at Mr. Yang, aren't you living a very comfortable life?"
"Isn't that right, Mr. Yang?"
Yang Jizong silently closed the book and kept silent, just minding his own business eating and picking up vegetables.
Wang Yan was extremely angry and couldn't help shouting: "What are you..."
"Prince Langzhong!"
Yang Jizong suddenly shouted in a deep voice, stopping Wang Yan's next words.
"Let's eat first."
Wang Yan frowned and stared at Yang Jizong dissatisfied.
Xu Hong smiled slightly: "Then I won't disturb the two adults during their meal."
After saying that, Xu Hong exited the room and closed the door.
After Xu Hong left, Wang Yan sat in front of Yang Jizong and complained: "Master Yang, it's okay if you don't speak. How can you stop me?"
"We have all been under house arrest for more than a month. When will this kind of days end!"
Yang Jizong put down his chopsticks, looked at Wang Yan, and said calmly: "You should know that whether we can go out has nothing to do with these people. It mainly depends on what's going on in the capital."
"The capital has undergone sudden changes, and Yu Shen has blocked news about the capital. No one knows what happened inside."
When mentioning things in the capital, Wang Yan even sneered on his face.
"Humph, those officials in the capital are so ridiculous!"
"His Majesty was attacked in Tumubao. They didn't think about how to rescue His Majesty. Instead, one by one, they clamored to move the capital and welcome King Xing as emperor..."
"It's ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
"Ashamed to be a minister! Ashamed to be a minister!"
No wonder Wang Yan was so angry and had such contempt for the officials in the capital.
In fact, the prosperity, wealth, wealth and life of people like Wang Yan all depend on Zhu Youtang.
The inventory of the fields in the world was ordered by Zhu Youtang, and these people were also appointed by Zhu Youtang.
In order to complete Zhu Youtang's mission, they offended a large number of aristocratic families from all over the Ming Dynasty.
These aristocratic families are inextricably linked to the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
Without the support of Zhu Youtang, the fate of these people can be imagined.
Zhu Youqian had just succeeded to the throne, and Yu Shen couldn't wait to stop their investigation work and put them under house arrest.
If Zhu Youtang really can't come back, their best end is to go to a remote county to become a county magistrate.
Yang Jizong also sighed: "Let's wait a little longer. We have no other choice but to wait."
Just when the room fell into silence, suddenly there was a loud shout outside the room.
"Stop!"
"The front is an important place for the imperial court. Any trespassers will be shot without mercy!"
"Stop, stop! Who are you?!"
This was the shout of the government guards who were guarding outside the room.
And then, there was an extremely cold response.
"Comrade Jinyiwei Commander, White Tiger!"
"Come to clear up the civil strife and kill the traitors!"
