Chapter Three Hundred and Thirteen The First Set of Chaos
In the meeting hall, after making an impassioned speech, Jia Heng sat down again. After sitting for a while, suddenly, another soldier came to report from outside.
"Sir, Mr. Li Ge from the cabinet has arrived outside the camp gate. He said that he has been ordered to supervise the capital camp."
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression was slightly startled.
All the generals in the hall were also stunned and thought to themselves, everyone from the cabinet has come? Has the case of Wang Ziteng alarmed the cabinet?
Jia Heng said: "Generals, wait a moment while I go to greet Mr. Li Ge."
After saying that, he walked out, leaving the generals stunned.
Outside the barracks, Li Zan, the Minister of War, was riding on a tall horse, followed by two cavalry in brocade clothes on both sides, approaching the camp gate.
Li Zan's thin face looked calm at this moment, but his heart was extremely anxious.
I just feel that if we delay for a little longer, chaos will occur in the Beijing camp in the next moment.
Not long after, he raised his eyes and saw soldiers pouring out and marching in formation, and in the middle was a familiar young military attache.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "Master Li."
While talking, he quickly ordered the general to open the camp gate.
Li Zan's face was slightly shaken. He drove his horse closer and asked, "Jia Ziyu, why are you here? Where is Wang Ziteng?"
"When I heard about the turmoil in the capital camp, I immediately took the Emperor's Sword and came here to summon all the generals to suppress the situation." Jia Heng said with a calm face, and then asked: "Master Li has also been ordered by the Holy One to take charge.
Jingying.”
Li Zan nodded, frowned and asked, "Call the generals?"
"In the name of Wang Jieshuai appointing Li Xun and others, and the whole army committing lawlessness, the lower official summoned the generals of the regiment and camp to the central army camp to discuss matters. As for Yaowu Camp, the lower official has already ordered Guoyong Camp to suppress it and blockade it separately.
The news was gathered in the military tent to prevent the generals from acting rashly upon hearing the sound of the trumpet. "Jia Heng explained the situation in a few words.
When Li Zan heard this, his expression calmed down, but there was a strange feeling in his heart, and he asked: "Is there any trouble in the camps now?"
When he left the camp from the palace, his original intention was to appease the generals in the group camp and avoid causing chaos. But based on the young man in front of him, the generals in the Beijing camp seemed to have no idea what was going on?
Jia Heng said: "There is no trouble yet, but the generals are deeply resentful of Wang Jieshuai. Previously, Wang Jieshuai came to the camp from the capital, and the subordinates had no choice but to take Wang Jieshuai to another place to await his orders. Your Excellency,
If you come here to take charge, please enter the camp and have full authority to deal with it."
Li Zan frowned and said, "Did Wang Ziteng come earlier?"
Jia Heng said: "The prince rushed over to suppress the situation. The subordinate thought that it would arouse the resentment of the generals, so he used the Emperor's Sword to temporarily detain him in a nearby camp to await His Majesty's disposal."
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said: "How are the military morale of the generals in the capital camp?"
Jia Heng said: "Because Wang Jieshuai was not allowed to sit in command, the generals in the capital now thought that the imperial court wanted to control the chaos in the army, and the military was happy."
Li Zan nodded.
Jia Heng said again: "Sir, although the chaos was caused by General Luo Rui of Liwei Camp, in the final analysis, it was Wang Jieshuai's radical methods. He appointed Yaowu Camp Commander Qian Shi and others to use the army to commit illegal acts.
, so that the general was resentful, but fortunately it did not lead to greater disaster."
When Li Zan heard this, he couldn't help but admire it in his eyes and said with approval: "What Zi Yu said is good."
Jia Heng added: "Your Majesty is the elder of the court. Your Majesty will sit in charge and appease the generals. The camp will be as safe as a rock. Now the generals are discussing the matter of reorganizing the army and are about to ask the elder to take charge of the overall situation."
Li Zan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the camp first."
With that said, Jia Heng entered the meeting hall of the barracks, and the generals who were waiting in the hall had complicated expressions when they saw the bachelor of the current cabinet coming here.
Secretly, is it really necessary?
Is the imperial court trying to bring order to chaos?
They all stood up and saluted: "General, I have met Mr. Li Ge."
Li Zan nodded to all the generals, but did not rush to announce the decree for a while, saying: "Generals, Your Majesty was shocked to hear that the troops in the Beijing camp were in chaos, especially Li Xun and others in the Yaowu camp, who were rampant and lawless, causing the army to
There are complaints, and I have been specially ordered to come to inquire. I take this opportunity to hear the opinions of the generals on the matter of reorganizing the army."
When all the generals heard this, they looked at each other with joy on their faces.
Jia Heng said loudly: "Lao Li Ge came here under the orders of the Holy One to rectify the chaos in the army. At the same time, he also listened to the opinions of the generals and brainstormed. As he said before, the army should be trained in martial arts."
This is the great plan of the imperial court, and all generals can speak freely."
When the generals in the hall heard this, their doubts disappeared.
Some generals are secretly thinking that it seems that the dispute between Jia and Wang has been settled.
"General Jia is upright and upholds justice, and we are convinced by him." Some generals said.
Li Zan's face paused slightly when he saw the generals echoing his words, and he was a little surprised.
He secretly thought that the Jingying general in front of him had been completely calmed down as Jia Ziyu said.
Simply put aside the matter of Luo Rui, and began to discuss with the generals the arrangements for the reorganization of the Beijing camp and the imperial court's arrangements for nine-border defense.
Jia Heng, on his side, left the meeting hall and sent people to Shenjing City to report to the emperor, while also sending people to inquire about the progress of quelling the rebellion.
By noon, the information from all parties was finally gathered at the Jieshuai Camp.
The first is the battle situation at the west gate of Shenjing City.
Luo Rui's troops were encircled and suppressed by the troops of the five cities and the Tiqi cavalry in the capital. Cui Jin, who led thousands of households, was killed. The remaining more than 700 generals and soldiers either broke up and fled, or abandoned their troops and surrendered.
Next is Yaowu Camp. When Guoyong Camp was besieging Yaowu Camp, General Pang Shili of Yangwei Camp led the Shenshu Cavalry to provide timely assistance and broke into Yaowu Camp together. The rebels held hostage by Luo Rui could no longer hold on.
If you don't stop, you will suffer a huge defeat.
Luo Rui himself had led more than a hundred cavalry to break out of the siege at Sanfu, and Pang Shili led the cavalry to pursue him. It was only a matter of time before he was captured.
By noon, the rebellion was basically settled except for Luo Rui. According to preliminary statistics, nearly 4,000 soldiers were killed or injured due to Luo Rui's rebellion.
When Jia Heng received the news, the banquet held for the generals had just dispersed. He sent the generals off and turned back to the barracks. He saw Li Zan, the Minister of War, holding in his hand the minutes of the military affairs recorded by Song Yuan.
Reading through.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "Master Li, the rebellion in Yaowu Camp has subsided. Only Luo Rui, the former military commander of Liwei Camp, led his troops to escape. Pang Shi, the commander of Yangwei Camp, led his men to pursue him. Guo Yong is now the leader of Yaowu Camp.
The battalion took over and suppressed."
Li Zan looked indifferent, sighed softly, and said: "It's finally over."
At this time, Jia Heng took the written report from Song Yuan, came closer and said: "Your Excellency, the whole story of the incident can be reported to the Holy Majesty along with the minutes of the military general's discussion. Please also sign it with your subordinates."
.”
With that said, he handed the written report to Li Zan.
The content is exactly the process of this incident, including Jia Heng's dispatch of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jinyi Mansion Tiqi, as well as various measures to quell the rebellion and gather generals, as well as Wang Ziteng and Li Zan entering the camp one after another.
His deeds, no matter how big or small, are described here.
Li Zan lowered his eyes and looked at the report, seeing the process on it, and said: "This time we were able to put down the rebellion decisively without causing too much trouble. It is all thanks to Ziyu's insight into the crisis and his thunderous handling."
As he said that, he picked up the brush and wrote his name on the book. After thinking about it, he added a paragraph in the blank space.
Jia Heng said: "Sir, after this incident happened in the Beijing camp, the generals and soldiers in the school will definitely be anxious. If we use radical measures to rectify the situation in the future, I'm afraid it will cause more troubles."
Li Zan showed his thoughts on his face, sighed, and said: "I'm afraid that there will be a disturbance in the court afterwards. I saw a report saying that a patrol censor in Xicheng was martyred because of this."
The prince's lack of strict control over his subordinates led to a mutiny, and the civil servants would not let it go.
Jia Heng actually saw the report just now. At that time, he was stunned and couldn't help feeling that Wang Ziteng was so unlucky.
This time, the skin will be peeled off even if I don't die.
Jia Heng said no more and sent the report to the divine capital, and then quietly waited for the palace's decree.
Daming Palace
Emperor Chongping was waiting anxiously for the news with Yang Guochang and other cabinet ministers.
At this moment, an internal eunuch entered the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, news just came from Jinyi Mansion that the West City has been recaptured by the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, and the gates of the four cities have been locked. The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division and
Jinyi Mansion takes over the defense and the capital is safe."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The defense of Shenjing City is jointly taken over by the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Jinyi Mansion, so chaos will not spread to the city.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he was equally happy and asked anxiously: "Where is Yaowu Camp? Is there any news about General Yunhui and Mr. Li Ge?"
The eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, no message has been sent from Yaowu Camp, and General Yunhui and Mr. Li Ge have not sent anyone to deliver the message."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, his face returned to a worried look.
If the eleventh regiment encircles the camp and causes chaos, even if it does not affect the city of Shenjing, it is not a small matter.
Yang Guochang pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, since Mr. Li Ge has gone to the capital camp to appease the generals, I think it won't cause any big trouble."
Emperor Chongping sighed and said: "I am afraid that there will be chaos in the camp, and people's hearts will be unstable, and it will be difficult to suppress them."
When everyone heard this, their expressions became solemn again.
However, because the gates of the four cities have been taken over by Jia Heng's Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jinyi Mansion Tiqi, the most serious consequences no longer exist.
Han Huang said: "Your Majesty, although this matter is caused by the personal grudges of Li Xun, Luo Rui and other generals, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar in the court and hinder the military plan of reorganizing the army."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he was startled and said: "Han Qing's concerns are not unreasonable. Some things need to be planned in advance."
But he was thinking about the aftermath.
Although the chaos in the Beijing Camp was controlled by the First Camp, a disturbance in the court situation was inevitable.
While the ministers were waiting anxiously, time also passed quickly. At noon, although Emperor Chongping had no appetite for lunch, he had to ask the inner prison to prepare some refreshments in the afternoon.
Suddenly, the eunuch came into the palace again and reported: "Your Majesty, Jia Yunhui and Mr. Li Ge sent people to send the report and the minutes of the talks between the generals in the Beijing camp on the army reorganization discussion, and they were sent to your majesty for inspection.
"
Emperor Chongping looked happy and asked: "Where is the report now?"
Not long after, two internal guards delivered a stack of documents, which Dai Quan presented to Emperor Chongping.
Emperor Chongping couldn't wait to read it. After a while, his face relaxed a little, then he picked up the meeting minutes on the side and read them attentively, his face changing.
It not only described the whole cause of the incident in detail, but also detailed the general's resentment against Wang Ziteng and his subordinates.
As the memorial says, since the reorganization of the army, Wang Ziteng's methods have been radical, and the soldiers and generals have become more resentful. Even if there is no today, there is still tomorrow...
Well, this sentence is supplemented by Li Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War.
Later, it was countersigned by the name of Li Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War.
Emperor Chongping's face was solemn, and he faced the worried eyes of Yang Guochang, Han Huang, and Zhao Yi, and explained: "Jia Ziyu has put down the chaos. Except for Yaowu Camp, there has been no major chaos in the other regiment camps."
Several cabinet ministers present were completely relieved after hearing this.
Emperor Chongping said: "Dai Quan, let a few pavilion elders take a look."
Dai Quan responded, took the report, and presented it to the three cabinet ministers for reading.
Several cabinet ministers circulated it and saw the narration on it, with different expressions and were speechless for a long time.
From the simple and concise writing, Jia Heng keenly discovered that Luo Rui, the commander of the Liwei Camp, had evil intentions. He went to the Nancheng Camp to dispatch troops and generals. He took the Emperor's Sword and entered the Commander's Camp where Wang Ziteng was located. He made a prompt decision to detect the enemy's plan.
First, stifle a huge chaos invisible.
Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "Dai Quan, tell the inner guards to open the palace door, and then send someone to tell the first-class Yunhui general Jia Heng and the prince of the Beijing Camp Jiedu Envoy to enter the palace to announce something."
Dai Quan bowed in response and turned around.
The palace door opened, which naturally released a signal that the incident had been settled. In order to calm the hearts of the people at home and abroad, Jia Heng, Wang Ziteng and others were summoned, obviously to inquire about the details of the incident in the capital camp.
Sure enough, with the opening of the palace gate, the originally anxious people in the capital gradually calmed down.
As the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jinyi Tiqi gradually lowered the intensity of martial law, details of the mutiny and various news were gradually revealed. Like a whirlwind, the six ministries, temple supervisors, and metropolitan procuratorate offices near the imperial city
There was an uproar among them.
If there was a hot search list in this era, it would probably be like this:
"Qing Jun, kill Wang Ziteng!" (Explosion)
"Luo Rui" (explosion)
"Yaowuying" (hot)
"Come on Jingying"
"Yunhui General Jia Heng defeated the Yaowu Camp rebels in just two hours" (rising arrow)
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate Comments on the Mutiny Incident in the Beijing Camp"
"The widow of Kang Zhixue, the censor of the city patrol, has arrived at the west gate" (crying loudly)
"Cabinet President Li Ge said that the military's military strength cannot be shaken" (new)
"Prince Teng's house was attacked by rebel soldiers" (dog head) (eating melon)
…
…
It can be said that the entire Shenjing City was in an uproar, almost like a huge stone thrown into the river, causing waves, and various details about the mutiny were quickly fermented.
As for the people, they were probably talking about it as enthusiastically as they would have heard gunshots in later generations.
Daming Palace
It was almost afternoon, when Jia Heng and Wang Ziteng entered the palace gate. At this moment, the lights in the palace had already been lit, and people were looking forward to it. Emperor Chongping and a group of cabinet ministers were waiting.
Facing the gazes of several eyes, Jia Heng looked calm, walked into the palace with his head held high, and saluted: "Jia Heng, I have seen the Holy One, long live the Holy One."
Prince Teng knelt down and saluted. He was frightened. He bowed his head deeply and said in obeisance: "Prince Teng, the sinful minister, comes to see you, Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live."
Emperor Chongping looked at the two people below him quietly, with a gloomy look on his face and an uncertain look in his eyes, which made it difficult for anyone to notice his happiness or anger. He was silent for a long time and then said slowly: "Ziyu walked away without courtesy, how is the situation outside?"
Jia Heng raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, except for Yaowu Camp, everything in the other ten regiments is calm. Now Li Ge is in charge in Jingying, Guo Yong is suppressing the situation in Yaowu Camp, and General Luo Rui of Liwei Camp has defected.
The army, just now, I received the military report that it has been wiped out."
Emperor Chongping sighed, glanced at Wang Ziteng, was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "I saw the report, saying that General Li Xun Yaowu Camp guerrilla generals Luo Kai, Pan Qing and others froze to death, and Luo Luo was lured there.
Rui resented the rebellion, but what did Qingjun mean by his words? Wang Qing, do you know the reason?"
At this moment, Wang Ziteng's heart trembled. He buried his head deeply on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, since I received the emperor's order and reorganized the army, I have eliminated generals and checked the vacancies, but the ones used are not human beings. Li Xun uses them.
Unexpectedly, this person is greedy and harsh, taking the opportunity to amass wealth. The generals and soldiers were originally resentful, but now he is good at carrying out military punishment, which has even provoked a mutiny. I am responsible for neglecting to observe and disturbing Sheng'an. I deserve death!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed repeatedly, and even bright red blood stains appeared on the bricks.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, but he remembered what Dai Quan had reported earlier. There was a rebellion in Prince Teng's house. Prince Teng's wife and concubines were slaughtered by the servants. Only his daughter-in-law and his daughter hid in the cellar to escape. Shen
The voice said: "Get up."
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Wang Ziteng was shaken and kowtowed.
