Chapter 120 Revocation of Jin Yiwei

Inside the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang is having a headache about what happened today.

He couldn't understand why so many things happened in this month.

First, Prince Zhu Biao fell ill, and then the Royal Garden Massacre occurred as the kings competed for the throne.

He lost six sons in one fell swoop.

And there is also a prince and five vassal kings.

This even made Zhu Yuanzhang begin to doubt his methods of governing the country.

But before that night, the news of Zhu Xi's death came.

Zhu Yuanzhang fainted immediately after hearing this.

This almost turned the entire palace upside down.

The imperial doctors lined up and walked into the palace.

After working for most of the night, Zhu Yuanzhang was finally rescued.

"Oh, God, why do you do this to me? Is this revenge on me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang began to suffer as soon as he woke up.

The queen and more than a dozen concubines tried to persuade him, and it was not until dawn that Zhu Yuanzhang fell into a deep sleep.

It was not until midnight that Zhu Yuanzhang woke up slowly.

He kicked out all the eunuchs, and finally on the morning of the third day, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the palace disheveled.

His first words were: "I have given you my oral instructions, and Jiang Wei from the command room of the Xuan Jin Yi Guards has entered the palace."

Soon, Jiang Yu, who didn't know why, entered Zhu Yuanzhang's palace.

He also received the news about the death of Jin King Zhu Xi. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't think it was anything.

After all, Zhu Tie had committed a heinous crime, and it would be an advantage for him to die like this. Moreover, it was Jin Yiwei who took action, so no matter what aspect, he felt that it was not an exaggeration.

However, he also received the news that Zhu Yuanzhang was ill, but he only thought it was because the emperor lost four princes in one day.

He even felt that the emperor summoned him to the palace this time to reward him.

"I'd like to hear from you, Your Majesty." Jiang Yu said as he knelt on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang had tidied up his clothes and returned to his previous demeanor, but an indescribable look of haggard and sadness could still be clearly seen between his brows.

Hearing Jiang Wei's voice, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes.

"Jiang Wei, I came to you this time because I have something to inform you in advance."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was very weak, as if he was recovering from a serious illness.

Jiang Wei's heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"The humble ministers are extremely frightened. This is the emperor's order."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "I have decided to cancel the Jinyi Guards."

"What, yes!"

Jiang Wei raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a shocked expression, and then immediately lowered his head.

He made various predictions about this trip, but he did not guess that Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted to remove the Jin Yiwei.

"You should go back and be prepared. All members of the Imperial Guard will be incorporated into the Royal Forest Army. Relevant matters can be negotiated with the Ministry of War. Go on."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he directly asked the eunuch to send him out of the palace without waiting for Jiang Yu's reaction.

Jiang Yu left the palace in a daze and came to the Jinyiwei station.

It was like he was in a dream, and he never understood what was going on. It was clear that the Jin Yiwei turned the tide in the Imperial Garden Coup, so why did the emperor suddenly remove the Jin Yiwei?

Of course he didn't understand what Zhu Yuanzhang did.

Jin Yiwei's abuse of lynching in recent years has often been impeached by hundreds of officials, because they can directly use lynching on civil and military officials without going through the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel. Many unjust, false and wrong cases have occurred.

But because Jinyiwei is an organization affiliated with the emperor, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't nod, no matter how many memorials are made, it will be of no use.

But this time Zhu Xi's death finally made Zhu Yuanzhang make up his mind and decided to cancel the Jin Yiwei.

Jinyiwei can even use the death penalty to execute a prince, what else can they not dare to do?

Of course, it was also due to the fact that four princes were killed in the Imperial Garden Rebellion.

And this was something that Bailuting, who was a member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu, did not expect.

When Jiang Wei told several of them in the hall about this incident, they were all very shocked.

Among them, Bailu Pavilion was the most surprising.

Not only was the extremely powerful Jin Yiwei actually withdrawn by the emperor, but another reason that made him feel angry was that he was probably deceived by the acting king.

According to the secret letter from the young prince, by doing this Bailuting can not only become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, but also shock all the officials.

But now it seems that Bailuting has been deceived.

Not only did he fail to become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, he even lost his job.

But even so, he did not dare to explain the matter to Jiang Wei.

Otherwise, not to mention whether Jiang Yu would let him go, I am afraid that it would be too easy for the current emperor to skin him.



It was not until three days later that the bloody storm in Nanjing reached Datong Prefecture through several pigeons.

At this time, Zhu Guicai briefly introduced some of his inventions and creations to Liu Jing, and also took him to visit the entire Datong Prefecture and the four cities and seven counties under his rule.

There are only a few cities on the grassland that I have not visited.

When Zhu Gui saw the message on the carrier pigeon, although the expression on his face was calm, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

He immediately gave up his original plan of taking Liu Jing to the guard station, and instead turned around and rode towards Prince Dai's Mansion.

"Liu Qing, something big has happened. Please go back to the palace first. I will send someone to ask General Xu to come to the palace to discuss it."

Liu Jing naturally wouldn't have any objections.

After burning the incense, Xu Yingxu, who received the news, came to the Prince Dai's Mansion and was taken to the meeting hall in the backyard by Butler Wang.

Only people within the palace can enter here.

When Xu Yingxu pushed the door open, there were already four people sitting inside.

Zhu Gui sat on the main seat, Xu Miaoqing sat next to him, Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun sat on Xu Miaoqing's side, and Liu Jing sat on Zhu Gui's side.

"I've met King Dai, Princess Dai, Princess Yan, and Mr. Liu." Xu Yingxu greeted the four of them one by one, and everyone returned the greetings.

"General Xu is here, take a look at this first." Zhu Gui took the lead and said to Xu Yingxu.

Xu Yingxu took the letter from Zhu Gui, and his expression became more solemn as he read.

"I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the palace." Xu Yingxu said.

"Yes, five vassal princes died in one fell swoop. I'm afraid the emperor will be sad to death. Moreover, the prince's son, Zhu Yunwen, who is only twelve years old, has become the successor prince. It is really unexpected."

As Zhu Gui spoke, he looked at Liu Jing who was meditating beside him.

Liu Jing smiled bitterly and said: "The King of Jin was so courageous. He actually wanted to imitate Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he died in the execution of Jin Yiwei, and even Jin Yiwei was revoked by the emperor. All of this is really...

It’s so surprising.”

Liu Jing's words made everyone in the meeting hall fall into deep thought, especially Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun's expression was the most solemn.
