Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 177: Kill all nine clans and send their heads to the nine borders!
a few days later.

The newly appointed Minister of War, Xie Chaoen, and his family entered the capital, traversing the official roads and going straight to the door of the cabinet.

In front of the dismounting monument.

Xie Chaoen turned over and got off the horse.

The guard at the door of the cabinet had already been informed and immediately shouted, "Minister of War Xie Chaoen has arrived."

Civil officials and military officers passing by stopped to look at him, which greatly satisfied Xie Chaoen's hypocrisy. He looked at the gatekeeper and said in a friendly manner, "Please inform that the Minister of War Xie Chaoen has come to the cabinet to report on his work."

When nonlocal officials came to Beijing, the first thing they had to do was to report to the cabinet, but being summoned to the Yuxi Palace was another matter.

The cabinet doorman bowed and said, "The cabinet elder has ordered that Minister Xie can enter the cabinet without asking for permission. Please take off your sword."

An important military base.

Similar to the requirements for entering and exiting the imperial palace, carrying weapons was not allowed. Xie Chaoen took off the sword at his waist and handed it to the cabinet doorman.

"My lord, please!"

The cabinet doorman put away his sword and invited Xie Chaoen to come in. Xie Chaoen strode into the cabinet. Then, the cabinet doorman stopped the family general who wanted to follow Xie Chaoen into the cabinet, "The cabinet is a restricted area, no one is allowed in!"

But Xie Chaoen's family generals turned a deaf ear and followed Xie Chaoen closely, while the cabinet guards immediately rushed out and a fierce fight was about to break out.

"stop!"

Xie Chaoen turned around and shouted to his general, "Go and wait over there!"

The family guards stopped all their movements, went to the direction where Xie Chaoen pointed, and stood still.

Xie Chaoen looked at the head of the cabinet guards and said with a smile, "People from small places don't know the rules, please don't blame me, head."

The commander of the imperial guards looked at the Xie family generals who were standing like pine trees, not looking sideways, and narrowed his eyes slightly, saying meaningfully: "Minister Xie has a good way of commanding his subordinates. These generals are extraordinary."

There are many people in the local areas who do not know the rules, but when they come to the capital, they all become timid and behave like dragons coiled up and tigers lying down. This is the power of the emperor's aura.

But for people like the Xie family's retainers, once they entered the capital, or even the imperial palace, they would enter the cabinet in one step.

If it weren't for Xie Chaoen's order, they would have dared to clash with the cabinet guards.

Did the Xie family's generals not know where this place was? Or did the Xie family's generals not understand the rules of the cabinet?
neither.

But be fearless.

In the hearts of Xie family retainers, the emperor, the Ming laws, and the emperor's land are not as important as Xie Chaoen.

I do not obey the laws of the emperor, but only the orders of the master of the house.

It is a true portrayal of the Xie family's generals.

Xie Chaoen looked embarrassed. He was used to walking around in the local area, in Liaodong Town. Wherever he went, his family guards would follow him. Even when he was sleeping at night, the family guards would guard him inside and outside the door, and the same was true when he was doing business.

After entering the capital, he forgot to warn his generals to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the rules of the court, which almost caused a disaster.

The commander of the imperial guards did not embarrass Xie Chaoen too much. After all, there would be someone to deal with these family generals. He smiled and said, "The elders are still waiting. Sir Xie, please come in first."

The change in the guard commander's tone made Xie Chaoen stunned, and he said, "Okay!"

Xie Chaoen once again took steps towards the Government Affairs Hall. Along the way, he was thinking about the overly friendly attitude of the cabinet doorman and cabinet guards, and he was a little confused. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

The cabinet doorman, who guards the cabinet door for all cabinet ministers, has always been the representative of arrogance in the Ming Dynasty. When have you ever heard of him speaking in a friendly and cordial manner with others?

The cabinet guards are even more incredible. They are the first line of defense for the safety of the cabinet elders. They are always calm and collected. Just now, they were about to fight with the family generals, but they acted as if nothing had happened.

Weird!Weird!

However, Xie Chaoen had one good point, he was good at giving credit, and he attributed all these achievements to the arrangements of 'Shang Kui', 'his son's godfather' Hu Zongxian. Gratitude surged in his heart.

In front of the government hall, the cabinet secretary Liu Tai was waiting. When he saw Xie Chaoen, he stepped forward and said, "It's Minister Xie. The cabinet elders have been waiting for a long time. Please come in!"

Xie Chaoen walked into the government hall as if he was in the clouds. When he saw Hu Zongxian, he immediately knelt down and said, "Xie Chaoen greets you, Lord!"

Without having met Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister, or Gao Gong, the vice-chancellor, Xie Chaoen first paid great respect to Hu Zongxian.

Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin looked at each other and always felt that if they were in another place, Xie Chaoen would have called out "Dad" to Hu Zongxian.

He is now one of the Nine Ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and he used to be a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty. Xie Chaoen is so humble and so flattering, it is really jaw-dropping.

Hu Zongxian also did not expect this to happen. He walked out from behind the documents, stretched out his hands to help Xie Chaoen up, and said with a smile: "Chaoen (Xie Chaoen uses his pen name), you are worthy of being a pillar of the country. You have been in Liaodong, a place with many battles, for more than ten years, and you have been working inside and outside the Great Wall. You have done a good job!"

Hu Zongxian took Xie Chaoen's hand and walked to the government hall to sit down for tea, his mouth full of praise.

"It's all thanks to the elder's good teaching." Xie Chaoen said without hesitation.

The son's posture is still maintained.

The corner of Hu Zongxian's mouth twitched, but he continued to smile as he said, "The emperor has given you another reward for your outstanding military exploits."

"Really?" Xie Chaoen's eyes lit up.

Could it be that by sending a message in advance, he was able to get the position of vice president of the military academy that his father had requested, even at the cost of recognizing his father's identity?
Xie Chaoen's heart was extremely passionate. In this world, was there anything better than getting promoted and getting what he wanted?

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so quickly.
But just when Xie Chaoen was overjoyed, Zhu Qi, one of the Thirteen Guards of the Imperial Guard, came with a hundred Jinyiwei cavalrymen in front of the cabinet door.

Sensing that the person coming had ill intentions, the Xie family's guards immediately became alert, but it was too late. The Jinyiwei cavalry took out their crossbows with the best arrows, and at Zhu Qi's command, hundreds of crossbows were fired at the same time.

Even if the Xie family's generals were placed in the army, they would be rare elites. Facing the attack of crossbow arrows, they quickly closed the formation, leaving only the outermost generals hit by the crossbow arrows, who were shot into sieves and died.

The crossbow arrow penetrated the flesh and blood, and its power was greatly reduced, and it was no longer enough to kill the next person.

However, Zhu Qi prepared more than one round of crossbow arrows for Xie's retainers, and the Jinyiwei Tiqi's crossbows were also loaded with more than one crossbow arrow. The cardinals pulled the trigger repeatedly, and Xie's retainers seemed to have become an upside-down bowl on the ground, with countless blood flowing out.

In the government hall, Hu Zongxian said in a serious voice: "Xie Chaoen, please listen to my order!"

"I'm here!" Xie Chaoen knelt on the ground.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Xie Chaoen, as the general of Liaodong Garrison, led his troops inaction in Dingliaoyouwei, which nearly led to the fall of the country's territory. He was extremely corrupt, causing tens of thousands of soldiers to flee. He also embezzled silver and grain for disaster relief in Liaozuo Binhai. His crimes are grave and cannot be tolerated by the law. All nine clans are to be executed and their heads sent to the nine borders as a warning to others. This is my decree."

Xie Chaoen turned around and tried to escape.

However, Zhu Qi blocked his way out. With a series of punches and kicks, Xie Chaoen lay on his back on the ground, his life or death unknown.

Zhang Juzheng watched the drama in front of the government hall and said, "There is no need to wait for the former Gansu Town General Zheng Yin to come to Beijing. The Jinyiwei intercepted and arrested him on the road, and the Huizhou Merchants Gang, take action!"
