As the emperor's personal guards, they were all people trusted by the emperor.

If Sun Chuanting had any disobedience, the information would be on the emperor's desk.

He was not a fool. He only needed to correct his attitude and be willing to be the sharpest knife in the Emperor's hand.

Learning from Dong Lin was the path to death.

Li Sancai was too conceited and looked down on the young emperor. He thought that by murdering the former emperor Tianqi, no one would notice and he could run amok in the world.

This kind of contempt for the current emperor was already naked.

If they had been patient and hid, Donglin wouldn't have ended up like this.

The main culprit of the disaster in Donglin was none other than Li Sancai.

He was overconfident and arrogant, thinking that he could kill another emperor after killing one.

He was too eager to kill the emperor, but he did not know that the emperor was already waiting for him to come. He would capture him in one move and sweep through Donglin like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Yin, accurate, ruthless, and fast were used by Tian Zi to the fullest, directly crushing him.

The grand momentum that Donglin had built up vanished just like that. Only Tian Zi was the winner!

As for Jiangnan's layout, Zhu Youjian did not pay too much attention to it. After all, his goal had been achieved, and he did not have to make a heavy blow to Jiangnan now.

Secretly sending Sun Chuanting to take charge of the Central Capital garrison was nothing more than to deter the Jiangnan gentry from causing trouble.

It was not the right time to clean up Jiangnan.

If Donglin insisted on committing crimes, they would have to clean up some of them.

Sun Chuanting, Cao Huachun, and Tian Ergeng were stationed in Jiangnan for this purpose.

Zhu Youjian then regarded the world as a game of chess, first guarding the capital, consolidating the center, and placing pieces on nine sides.

This was his initial goal. Controlling the military power of the capital region and one-third of the strategic locations on the nine sides was his main task after he ascended the throne.

Now that he had achieved his goal, Zhu Youjian was in the mood to leave the palace to watch the Brocade Guards raid the Duke of Cheng's Mansion.

He also wanted to see how the Brocade Guard would raid a Public House, and he also wanted to know the reaction of this traitor, the Duke of Cheng.

"Old Wei, Wang Daban, don't tell Xu Xianchun that Zhen has left the palace. Zhen wants to measure his quality.”

Zhu Youjian had intended to use Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng, the two powerful Jinyiwei officials.

As for Cui Ying Yuan, he was already a dead man in Zhu You Jian's eyes.

Cui Ying Yuan was promoted by Old Wei because he controlled the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Now that he had lost his value, it was time for him to withdraw from the stage of history.

Cui Ying Yuan himself was not a good person, he had done many wicked things!

It was impossible to keep them alive. Either Wei Zhongxian or Xu Xianchun would kill them.

Wei Zhongxian now understood Zhu Youjian's thoughts. Cui Yingyuan was too blind.

He had already reorganized the internal department, under the banner of anti-corruption, but Cui Ying Yuan actually didn't see through it. It could be seen that Cui Ying Yuan was trash.

Cui Ying Yuan still did not regard himself as the real head of the Brocade Guard, and had to ask him about everything.

Without comparison, there would be no harm. Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng had already distanced themselves from him. Both of them had noticed the change in the mystery.

However, the commander of the Royal Guards, Cui Ying Yuan, who he had pushed up, was so unbearable. If such a person was left alive, he would definitely be a disaster.

He did not dare to keep this big trouble for himself!

Since he couldn't see the situation clearly, he could only be abandoned.

It wasn't that Wei Zhongxian didn't want to save him, but that Cui Ying Yuan couldn't save himself.

At the moment, the capital was still lively and noisy. The pedestrians coming and going did not weaken at all because of the high atmosphere in the capital!

The scene of the sons of officials running around on the streets every day, or the scene of jealous silkpants scolding and fighting each other, was gone.

"Old Wei, well done.

I have not seen the withering of the streets. Although it is less of the pompous silkpants of the past, it has a heavy commercial atmosphere.”

The Ming Empire had a very strong commercial atmosphere, and there were as many big capitalists as there were hairs on an ox.

However, they were unwilling to pay any taxes to the Imperium and wanted to empty the Imperium of its benefits.

"Since I've already reorganized, how can I leave those villains to become the cancer of the empire and damage the emperor's reputation for nothing?" Wei Zhongxian said.”

The importance the current emperor placed on the people was not below that of Taizu.

He did not dare to treat the people as humans. If he did not treat the people as humans, he was afraid that the Emperor would not treat him as a human either.

The three of them secretly arrived in front of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion. However, the mansion was surrounded and sealed off, so they had not yet searched it.

There must be an imperial edict to seize a public house.

No matter how bold the Brocade Guard was, they would not dare to openly disrupt such a procedure.

Once he did not ask for an imperial edict and raided his house, he was afraid that the High Duke's Public House would be raided, and his own house would follow in his footsteps.

Xu Xianchun stood at the entrance of the Public House with the imperial edict in his hand and said in a clear voice,"The Embroidered Uniform Guards have been ordered to raid the Duke of Cheng's Mansion! Kill anyone who dares to resist!"

Zhu Chunchen stood behind the vermilion door and stared at Xu Xianchun angrily.""How dare you seal up my mansion? What crime have I committed?”

"Don't you know if you've committed a crime or not?" Xu Xianchun sneered. He colluded with Donglin to murder the former emperor and then wanted to silence him.

Did they really think that the Jinyiwei were useless? Now that it's been exposed, you feel wronged."

"I want to see His Majesty!" Zhu Chunchen said in a deep voice.”

Xu Xianchun said disdainfully," It's too late. This is the emperor's decree to confiscate the family. Don't think that anyone will come to save you." This was a major case of treason, and the lowest crime was to annihilate the three clans.”

Zhu Chunchen was truly terrified now. He had thought that the emperor would be lenient since he had just ascended the throne.

Now, it seemed that Tian Zi had the intention to kill!

He had long regretted his greed and contempt for the imperial power.

Only when the imperial power truly came did they know how terrifying it was.

Zhu Youjian watched silently from the side, sneering in his heart.

He thought that the emperor would not dare to touch a noble who was resting with the country. What a joke.

Since he enjoyed the supreme glory of the empire and enjoyed more than two hundred years of shade, he did not think of contributing to the country, but tirelessly dug out the foundation of the Ming Empire.

What was the point of keeping such a noble?

"Move out!"

With Xu Xianchun's order, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, who were already prepared, rushed in like wolves and tigers, catching anyone they saw!

The servants of the Public House also resisted, but they were all killed by the Embroidered Uniform Guards on the spot.

Zhu Chunchen looked at the huge Public House in fear. Now that it was being searched by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, his heart was bleeding.

He resisted, but in the face of the menacing Jinyiwei, his resistance seemed so powerless.

He hoped that the other dukes could extend a hand of friendship and help him, but the rescue signal he sent out was not answered.

He did not wait for the dignitaries to come and save him, but waited for the Jinyiwei to take the imperial edict to investigate.

Zhu Chunchen was currently being held by two Embroidered Uniform Guards. He stood at the side and watched as the Embroidered Uniform Guards carried out box after box from the mansion.

According to his initial estimation, the mountain of boxes in the courtyard was no less than five million taels.

The commoners outside the door looked at the open boxes of silver and gold in the courtyard. The shiny yellow and white items made the onlookers gasp in surprise and shock.

"I really didn't expect a Duke's family to be so rich. There were at least four million taels of silver. Including the land and shops, it was definitely not less than seven million taels of silver. It's more than the country's annual tax!"

"Not to mention the person's rebellion, even if the person is corrupt and extorts by trickery, he will be beheaded and his family will be confiscated!”

Zhu Chunchen's face was ashen. He regretted that he had realized it too late and had not hidden the silver beforehand.

Now that the family's wealth was made public and counted in front of everyone, this was the rhythm of the Duke of Cheng's Public House.

The emperor wanted to use him as an example to set the record straight.

When Xu Xianchun saw such a huge amount of wealth, he felt very happy. He was not happy that he could be greedy, but he was happy that his life was saved.

As the third in command of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he was not afraid of being hated by the nobles, but he was afraid that he would not be trusted by the Emperor.

The Brocade Guards were the emperor's personal army. The previous commanders of the Brocade Guards had forgotten their duties and principles and dared to collude with the ministers and dignitaries of the court.

Now, they had to reverse the position of the Jinyiwei in the emperor's heart. The Jinyiwei could only be loyal to the emperor and not fear any dignitaries in the world. This was their duty.
