501 [Mutiny](2/2)
All the officers looked at each other and could only kneel down.
Xi Shu said: "Now that you have been convicted, please get up and wait for the court to report. In this case, I will report to the court in the same way."
The officers returned to their seats and complained one after another.
One of the hundred households said: "General Chairman, you must make it clear to your majesty. We have no choice but to do it. Zhang Wenjin and Jia Jian were too greedy. Our wives, children, and children were transferred to the north, but they didn't even build the house properly.
Many brothers and family members froze to death in the past few days!"
Another officer said: "In the battle of Yingzhou, we also followed His Majesty to fight against the little Mongolian prince. But in terms of rewards for meritorious service, we were only given a few buckets of rice, and most of the rewards were eaten by the superiors!"
Another officer said: "I followed Wang Erlang to rescue him. At that time, His Majesty was chased by Mongolian cavalry. Wang Erlang led us to rescue His Majesty, but the little Mongolian prince blocked him in the mountains and could not get out. At that time, Your Majesty was only two or three meters away from me.
Zhangyuan, I handed over the firewood that Your Majesty kept warm at night. Damn it, I followed Your Majesty to fight desperately, but in the end I was only rewarded with one tael of silver!"
Xi Shu turned to look at Zhu Zhen: "When it comes to rewards based on merit, are you serving as the commander-in-chief of Datong?"
Zhu Zhen said awkwardly: "Not yet. At that time, Commander-in-Chief Wang resigned and I had not yet taken office. The eunuch who was guarding the place was in charge of the merits and rewards."
Xi Shu instantly understood that the guarding eunuch had probably deliberately transferred Wang Xun, the commander-in-chief, and had hurriedly awarded the war merit reward before Zhu Zhen took office. He did not know how much money was wasted due to the time difference.
Xi Shu said: "I will report your grievances truthfully and I will certainly give you justice."
An officer asked: "Does President Xi mean what he says?"
Another officer said: "It would be great if Wang Erlang were here. I heard that Wang Erlang has clear rewards and punishments, and he can speak well in front of His Majesty."
Xi Shu said: "I am Wang Erlang's teacher."
"Oh, that's great!"
"President Xi, we were blind and blind just now. I apologize to you for this cup!"
"President Xi, don't worry. We will definitely restrain the soldiers. We are just waiting for the imperial court to take action. We can kill and punish at will, without any hesitation!"
"..."
Anyone can be killed and punished at will. If the imperial court really intends to kill a group of leaders, the group of officers in front of them must really rebel.
After Xi Shu stabilized the mutiny leaders, he immediately wrote a letter telling the court the truth. His letter was carefully checked by the mutiny leaders, and only if there were no problems could it be safely sent out of the city.
Is it really just appeasement without any punishment?
How can it be!
When such a commotion broke out in Datong, Wang Yuan happened to appoint Wu Jinshi and Wu Juren. The relevant responsible persons will certainly not be dealt with seriously for the time being, but in a year or two they will be able to settle the accounts later in the year.
Of course, no matter where the guarding eunuch who enriched himself has been transferred, Wang Yuan will pursue it to the end!
The main culprits that caused the mutiny this time will also be investigated and punished one by one, and the military fields will be cleaned up and displaced generals will be installed.
