The nobles and military generals on duty in the Beijing camp began to feel uneasy and suddenly complained to court officials such as Emperor Zhu Youxiao and Yuan Keli.

"Damn it, we didn't mess with his surname Yuan, why can't he get along with us? It's a good thing, suddenly I have to rectify the Beijing Camp. Can I calm down?"

Xu Xi, Duke of Ding, complained.

"Oh, I really can't live this life. Not only did I lose a lot of money after the fertile land was cleared, but now I probably can't even save my errands in the Beijing Camp."

Li Kaixian, the Marquis of Fengcheng, also agreed.

"No, but now there is no other way, and we can only obey his will. But Yuan Keli makes our lives difficult, and we cannot make life easier for them, civil officials! If we really want to rectify the Beijing camp, the civil officials of the Ministry of War will not escape. Although Your Majesty now strictly controls the administration of the government, those officials of the Ministry of War will also get out of the money from the oil pan, especially those officials below. Taking advantage of the elderly veterans in the Beijing camp, they have no way to sue the war, and they often deliberately do not issue documents to these veterans for retirement due to their old retirement, and take the opportunity to extort money or force them to bribe the government office by borrowing usury. Since Yuan Keli wants to rectify the Beijing camp, then let these veterans go to the Censorate to make trouble and see what Yuan Keli does!"

Xu Xi said that.

"That's right! I'm afraid that there are not many clean ones except for a few officials from the Ministry of War."

Lee Kaixian sneered.

So, next, these nobles really went to encourage the veterans in the Beijing camp to come to the Censorate.

"Let them go and make trouble! I want to see how many people these nobles can motivate, and there is no need to worry about the Dongchang and Jinyiwei."

Zhu Youxiao soon learned about this, but when this kind of political activity against him as the emperor did not rise to the point of political activities, he would not end in person, and naturally he would not let the Dongchang and Jinyiwei come forward.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, since Yuan Keli wanted to rectify the Beijing camp so that the nobles and military generals in the Beijing camp would not have the opportunity to get empty salary and enslave soldiers, he should also be good at being counterattacked by the nobles and accused him of the civil servants of the Ministry of War for deducting money and grain and asking for benefits.

As the emperor, he naturally would not stand up immediately now.

"Grand Sima! Why did you suddenly need to rectify the Beijing camp? Isn't this intentional trouble?"

"That's right! The Beijing camp has always had the heavy responsibility of defending the capital. It is the emperor's personal army. How can it be done without action? If an accident occurs, it will cause a mutiny between the soldiers and cause a disaster to the country. Wouldn't it be a big deal?"

"The nobles, military officials, our civil servants, and even the great officials of the inner court. There are too many forces involved in this, which can be said to have a single move. From the perspective of the following, since today, if Zi already has a strong army of Guards, there is no need to rectify the Beijing camp, otherwise, it will be easy to lose the dignity of the court. It seems that so many people have not managed the Beijing camp well."

Many civil servants in the Ministry of War were also moved and anxious after learning that Zhu You calibrated Yuan Keli to request the rectification of the Beijing Camp, and started talking to Yuan Keli.

"The imperial edict has been issued, please ask you to come back. If you don't want to obey the order, you can resign. Yuan will never force you."

Yuan Keli replied.

"you!"

The Ministry of War was very angry because of this, and suddenly shouted at Yuan Keli, but he didn't dare to say anything for a moment, so he had to shake his sleeves and leave.

At this time, outside the Censorate.

A large number of elderly veterans from the Beijing camp gathered outside the Censorate, which squeezed the Censorate into a mess.

"We want to sue!"

"We want to sue!"

"We want to sue!"

...

These elderly veterans even started shouting and cried about their miserable situation.

Some say that they lost all their money because they were blackmailed by officials of the Ministry of War.

Some people also talk about how officials of the Ministry of War deduct money and food.

For a moment, the crying sounded loudly.

And there are more and more, densely packed, with obvious tens of thousands of people.

Cui Jingrong has been promoted to the Minister of Personnel, and Zhou Yongchun is now the one who replaces him as the Left Censor.

Seeing this, Zhou Yongchun had no choice but to say, "Come here, go to the back door to prepare a sedan chair. I want to go to the cabinet!"

Zhou Yongchun hurried to the cabinet.

And so, the cabinet ministers soon learned about the elderly veterans' fuss in the Censorate.

"Yuan Fu, all the elders, what should I do? My Censorate is almost demolished now."

Zhou Yongchun said anxiously.

Because the Censorate had been disturbed before, and the two previous Left Censors did not end well after being disturbed in the Censorate, he was a little scared now.

"What a panic! They are not coming to you. What about your Censorate? The Censorate belongs to the court and His Majesty. Your duty is to report it truthfully. Whoever causes trouble will be dealt with by then!"

The cabinet minister Xiong Tingbi scolded Zhou Yongchun first without being angry.

Zhou Yongchun looked at Xiong Tingbi and Xu Guangqi.

Fang Congzhe also said, "What Mr. Xiong said is right. If you go directly to Grand Sima, he is the one who started the culprit."

"yes!"

Zhou Yongchun hurriedly left the cabinet.

But at this time, many civil servants had already arrived here in Yuan Keli.

Xie Sheng, who was the doctor of the Ministry of War before being promoted to Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, bowed to Yuan Keli at this time, and said, "Grand Sima! Please forgive the officials for taking the liberty. What are you doing? Suddenly, you have to rectify the Beijing Camp. Why don't you discuss it with everyone first! Now, this, isn't this pushing everyone into the fire pit?"

The Zuo Deputy Censor Fang Kezhuang also said: "That's right, the Censorate is almost demolished by those vulgar people in the Beijing camp! He said he wanted to denounce us civil servants and let them have no way to survive! What should we do? Aren't you making things difficult for us?!"

"I am rectifying the Jingying. What does it have to do with the Dukes? Why did I push the Dukes into the fire pit? How could it make things difficult for you? You are all honest and upright ministers. I believe that I also agree with Yuan's rectification of the Jingying."

Yuan Keli replied.

"You! The surname Yuan, you are really a lunatic!"

Xie Sheng started to curse directly.

He was really anxious because he was the most fiercer in deducting the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Beijing camp. The reason was that he fell in love with a young lady in the capital at that time, and was eager to save money to redeem him and take him as a concubine. He also relied on the fact that these soldiers were all lower-level military households and dared not cause trouble, so he made a lot of money. No matter how many people were counted, they were enough to peel the skin.

Fang Kezhuang also gritted his teeth: "Brother Yi Jin is right. You people are really more terrifying than the party! Do you really ignore the decency of the scholars and officials?!"

"Yuan is puzzled, what does this have to do with the decency of the scholar-officials."

Yuan Keli said.

...

"Your Majesty has an order. Tomorrow, the ministers will meet at the Huangji Palace, so all officials in the seventh rank and above in Beijing must participate!"

At this time, the first emperor came to the court.

Xie Sheng and other civil servants became even more panicked after hearing this.

Yuan Keli didn't care. He knew that doing so would cause some civil servants to jump out, and even eunuchs to jump out.

But Yuan Keli didn't care and just continued to prepare for him to rectify the Beijing Camp.

And wait until the next day.

After meeting all the ministers, Zhu Youxiao also talked about this: "It's great! I heard that someone in the Censorate has caused trouble again? Zhou Aiqing, the Zuo Censor, is there any such incident?"

Zhou Yongchun hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a matter. Those who cause trouble are all old military households in the Beijing camp. My ministers and others are investigating their injustice in detail. Now they do not know the true or false, and whether anyone is deliberately doing it."

At this time, Xu Xi, Li Kaixian and other nobles laughed secretly. They could see the uneasiness of these people from the trembling appearance of many civil servants.
