Meng's hunch was not wrong.

The death of the small flag defending the city spread in the court at an incredible speed, and then spread from the court to the people. All kinds of rumors converged, true and false were mixed, and with the help of well-intentioned people, the owners of Xingning Bofu and Bofu were pushed to the forefront step by step.

A certain rank of uncle-intimidation-strong-bullying-weak, forced-persecuted-pawn.

A certain uncle is proud of his achievements, and he doesn't even pay attention to the Wei State Mansion.

A certain martyr became famous at a young age, but he did not take the right path, colluded with eunuchs, officials, and brocade guards to persecute Qingliu.

What's more, Uncle Yan deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, as a disciple of the Buddhist monks, but he contemptuously called the Buddhist scriptures useless, the crime is extremely evil, and he will go to eighteen layers of hell after death.

Qi Lie, the leader of the Uliangha, who lived in the hall and waited for the summons of the Son of Heaven, also heard similar rumors.

It is rumored that Meng has become a representative of disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness and injustice, and seemingly loyal but treacherous.

To sum it up: "Traitors, everyone will be punished."

"Bastard! How dare you slander your uncle like this?! ”

It was the Honglu Temple that spread the rumors, and the beggar should have been angry.

Since Meng Zhen guarded Daning, the living standard of Duoyan Sanwei has skyrocketed and made great strides forward.

With the pasture provided by the border people and the doctors in the border army, the long winter is no longer difficult, and the number of cattle and sheep has doubled, and there is no need to worry about starvation and disease.

The salt and tea exchanged from the Daning Exchange Market were traded with the Tatar tribes, and the profits were doubled, enough for the family to live a prosperous life, and the whole tribe benefited from it.

Today's Uliangha, especially the tribe that has established friendly relations with Xingningbo, has become the envy of the steppe tribes. The strong men firmly believe that Xingningbo is here, and their good life will continue forever. Xingningbo fell, and the life of lying in the tent counting money will be gone forever, and it will never be found again.

If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods.

Zhu Quan was in Daning, and the life of Uliangha was also superior to that of Tatarva. Compared to today, it is still one earth and one heaven.

People die for money, birds die for food, Meng can bring huge benefits to Uliangha, and the strong men naturally stand firmly on Meng's side.

"Whoever dares to go against his uncle will not be able to get along with Wuliangha!"

A few months ago, Zhu Wang, the commander of Daning, was replaced by Yang Xing, who was airborne in the capital, and he made small moves at the beginning of his tenure. The newly established political envoy Yamen was honest on the surface, but secretly he acted frequently, and he was very dissatisfied with a series of rules of the Daning Mutual Market, especially the Taxation Department, which was in charge of the mutual market taxation, and had the intention of sending someone to replace it.

When the news came out, Ding Qianhu, who stayed in Daning, had not yet reacted, and Daning Dusi was also suppressed by Yang Xing, and Duoyan Sanwei exploded instantly.

In their own way, the Mongolian strong men taught a lesson to the Daningbu political envoy who wanted to dig into the corner of the wall before he gained a firm foothold.

Just because Xingningbo is not there doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! When encountering a snake whose waist is thicker than a bucket, the dragon still has to curl up!

Bright paws to try? Cut them all!

The leaders of the three guards gathered together to discuss, voted by a show of hands, and could not use force, and the use of force was rebellion. Just to give the other party an excuse to further - meddle in Daning's affairs. Let's not use force, let's go to Beijing to pay tribute!

The leaders of the tribes lined up in order, took turns to enter the capital to pay tribute to the horses, saw the Son of Heaven, sprinkled and rolled, grabbed the ground with their heads, and complained to death!

From Hongwu, Jianwen to Yongle, the strong men of Duoyan Sanwei have always been the gold medal fighters of the Ming Dynasty and have played a huge role in the frontier. During the Jing Dynasty, he repeatedly shed blood for Zhu Di, charging with bows and arrows and firearms.

The imperial court guarded against the untamed Sanwei and also gave the Sanwei various preferential treatment.

Historically, the entire Daning was once the ranch of Sanwei, Meng Hengkong was born, the ranch was gone, but the wealth obtained by Sanwei was doubled.

"If two or three can't win, the entire Wuliangha is dissatisfied, and the court can't wait to ignore it!"

The first two groups of tributary teams had laid a good foundation, and Zhongguan and Jinyiwei had gone to Daning to investigate the situation. The Beijing Patrol Imperial History and the Supervision Imperial History were all hung up, and the Beijing Sixth Department was not spared.

The Daning Bu Political Envoy dared to do something to the Taxation Department, which was to move the emperor's money bag! How can such a big thing be left unchecked?

After Zhongguan and Jinyiwei returned to Beijing, the emperor's edict was immediately issued, and the six heavenly officials and below were all scolded. The heavenly officials were very aggrieved, a mouthful of old blood poured into their throats, Daning commanded the replacement of envoys, and the establishment of political envoys, all of which benefited from the six departments of Nanjing, but they were held accountable when something went wrong, what is this called!

Headed by the oldest qualified household department Shangshu, the Beijing branch has been on the emperor, and the main content can be summarized in one sentence: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" The ones who should be pumped the most are the grandchildren of the Nanjing Sixth Division, not the ministers! ”

Under the joint suppression of Wuliangha and the Beijing Branch, the Daning Bu Political Envoy was pressed down before he could really shake up. Daning commanded Yang Xing to be completely overshadowed by the capital.

They all commanded Tongzhi and the servant to hide the knife in their smiles, without mercy, except for the function of holding the official seal and seal, they left nothing for Yang Xing.

Zhu Wang was overtaken by Zhang Gui, and Uncle Meng carried the clouds down from the sky.

Yang Xing stood on the wrong team, misjudged the situation, and could only taste the bitter fruit by himself. was beaten down, and no other Xingningbo could help him up.

After returning to Beijing, Meng learned about what happened in Daning City.

The Son of Heaven ordered him to live in Beijing, but he was still in charge of the affairs of Daning, and eighty percent was extremely dissatisfied with the newly established political envoys. It is conceivable that after the next palace examination, the six departments of the north and south will have abundant talents, and the political envoys of Daning will also have a complete change. In this regard, in addition to Meng, the Beijing branch is also happy to see it. It would be even better if people could be transferred from Shuntianfu.

However, for the current Meng, Daning's affairs can be put aside for the time being, and how to get out of the rumors is the most important.

Hearing that the beggar should be in the Honglu Temple in the same hall, violently, beating, and gossiping, Meng was both happy and worried.

Happily, someone helped him breathe a sigh of relief.

What worries me is that the rumors are intensifying, and it is even more impossible to find out who is behind it.

Ministers, military generals, nobles, clans, vassal kings, and even ...... Relatives.

The Son of Heaven ordered the Marquis of Pengcheng to conquer Xingzhou, and ordered King Ping to become a vassal, but left the prince of King Ping in the capital for the sake of Zhu Zhanji's studies. There was a precedent for this during the reign of Emperor Gao, and Zhu Gaochi also stayed in Beijing alone to study with his grandson.

Zhu Zhanqi, the son of the Han king, was also in the capital. Using Zhu Zhanji's young age as an excuse to shirk it doesn't make sense at all.

What's more noteworthy is that after Kunning Palace, the imperial doctor became a frequent visitor to the Ping Palace.

"Princess Ping is sick."

is a simple five words, but it makes people feel a little cool.

Empress Xu was critically ill, King Ping became a vassal, King Ping's son stayed in Beijing, and Princess Ping was seriously ill......

If the queen really dies, and Xiaoqi, who is related to the Wei Mansion, is "forced to die" by herself, what will happen when the Son of Heaven is angry?

Meng didn't dare to imagine.

He only knew that if the queen died, King Ping would stay in the capital for mourning. In the early years, Zhu Gaochi entered Beijing to worship Emperor Gao, and the name of benevolence and filial piety was very great. The queen is in mourning, and those who have a heart can take the opportunity to revisit this matter, and use the words of the ministers and the mouths of the people to build momentum.

Zhu Gaoxu Xuanfu Tuntian, Zhu Gaosui opened a mutual market in Liaodong, and there were always courtiers who criticized it, believing that this was not the way of the king. In particular, Zhu Gaosui, who operates a mutual market, is a counter-example.

"Forcibly taking people's taxes, not the virtue of the country and the barbarians, but driving them with interests, is against the way of the sage's education."

Such impeachment is not unusual.

Zhu Gaoxu was in Xuanfu Tuntian, and was also contemptuously called by the courtiers as "not the prince's doing, how different from cloth clothes." ”

At this time, there is the comparison of Zhu Gaochi's benevolence and filial piety, even if the Son of Heaven does not appoint Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince, it is impossible to let King Han and King Zhao sit in this position.

Thinking of this, Meng Shengsheng was clever.

He didn't know who the person who laid out the layout was, but he was sure that the Duke of Wei's mansion and the two princes, including himself, were all part of the plan.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Meng stood up and walked to the window, the fragrance of osmanthus was faintly wafting in the air, and when he closed his eyes, his heart still seemed to be a mess.

Empress Xu was safe and sound, Princess Ping was seriously ill, King Ping became a vassal, and the Duke of Wei never responded. Is he really thinking too much, or is it far more complicated than he imagined?

Rumors spread all over the capital, but there is still no impeachment of the imperial history in the matter, if no one is plotting behind the scenes, he will not believe it.

"Someone should have come forward a long time ago." Meng opened his eyes and held his chin, "Shouldn't I ask the master?" ”

I haven't consulted Dao Yan, but I just want to see if I can take advantage of the chaos to find out the mastermind behind it.

In the current situation, it is impossible for him to get his wish.

When the disciple has something, the master can't just watch the excitement from the sidelines. Don't say help, it's always okay to mention a few words, right?

Anyway, he is young and inexperienced. Please ask Dao Yan to help straighten out. Moreover, Meng had a seemingly absurd guess in his heart.

On the surface, the center of the rumors is him, at most involving Shen Xuan and King Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, it was Emperor Yongle who gave him the title, and it was Emperor Yongle who reused him. Wouldn't the emperor who beat him and even Shen Xuan and others into traitors and reuse traitors?

Shaking his head, this speculation is too far-fetched.

But often the more impossible the answer, the more straight to the heart of the matter.

"If that's the case, it's really impossible to do it without consulting the master."

After making up his mind, Meng immediately took a few guards and rushed out of the mansion to Dao Yan's residence.

As he left the Mansion, several inconspicuous spies signaled to each other, one followed and the other went in the opposite direction.

The spies thought they were secretive, but they didn't know that the praying mantis was catching cicadas and yellow finches, and there were already brocade guards behind them.

In the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, Yang Duo personally interrogated the chief of the Pingwang Mansion, and together with the confessions of the eunuchs of the Pingwang Mansion, sorted it out and sent it to the palace.

Walking out of the torture room, a captain immediately stepped forward and said, "Commander, Ji Yanshi sent someone to send back the note, and the idea has moved." ”

"Yes." Yang Duo wiped the blood stains on his hands and threw the cloth towel aside casually, "Keep staring, after following me these days, it's time for news." ”

"Yes." The lieutenant took the order and turned to leave.

Li Shi, a thousand households in Jinyi, was quite appreciated by Yang Duo, and couldn't help but speak: "It has been rumored like this in Beijing, and it is only now that it moves, Xingningbo is really calm." ”

When the words fell, the back of his neck suddenly became cold.

"Li Qianhu." Yang Duo chuckled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Disaster comes from the mouth." ”

In a word, Li Shi instantly sweated profusely.

"Command, don't dare to be humble anymore!"

Yang Duo didn't say anything more, and named out two servants and several captains to enter the palace with him.

The black boots stepped on the blood-stained cloth towel, the hem of the red brocade robe was lightly brushed, and the footsteps were silent.

Li Qianhu stood in place, until Yang Duo's back disappeared around the corner, still not daring to move.

There are rumors within the Fusi of Beizhen that Commander Yang treats Xingningbo differently, and Ji Ningbo also has a good relationship with Xingningbo, all because Xingningbo has the grace of knowing Ji Gang.

The jury is still out on how the latter is, but the former seems to be true.

Li Shi's face became more and more ugly, and he suddenly gave himself a mouthful, and he couldn't find the north after being praised by Commander Yang for two sentences, and he should have today's disaster!

If Yang Zhizhi knew that in order to investigate the case, he also intervened behind the rumors...... If it is remedied immediately, is it too late?

Meng didn't know what was going on in Fusi, Jinyi Weibei Town, and after leaving the house, the guards reported that they were followed by tails, and the anger that had accumulated for several days burned at once.

"Is there a lot of people?"

"Less than ten."

"Good, good." The tiger doesn't wield power when he's Hello Kitty, right?

"Uncle?"

"Got it." Even Hello Kitty has claws!

"Catch ...... Finish? ”

The guards thought they had misheard. In this case, shouldn't you lead to a secluded place before you do it, or deliberately leak some information, and wait for the tail to leave before tracking back?

"Beat it before you catch it, just beat it up if you don't die." Meng gritted his teeth, his expression was very hideous, "Lao Tzu has endured enough!" ”

The guard hesitated for a moment, but still persuaded him: "Uncle, it's better to go out of the city and do it again, right?" ”

Now he can be in the "downtown area", and he is watched by everyone, which confirms the notoriety in the rumors.

"Right here, I'll take care of something!"

Meng was categorical, and the guards could no longer persuade him, so he could only take orders.

More than ten big men turned around at the same time, aimed at the target, and rushed forward with a fist like a hungry tiger pounceing on a sheep.

The attack of the guards was without warning, not only the unidentified spies, but also the stalking brocade guards.

"Hit someone!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

The guards of the Bofu were stunned, and they saw fists and big feet flying together, nosebleeds spraying, and black eye sockets and pig heads freshly baked.

The spies knew that they were exposed, and they didn't dare to make a sound, so they could only hold their heads and be beaten.

Jin Yiwei suffered an unwarranted disaster, and just shouted, "Brother, don't fight, your own people!" ”

In the next second, he was immediately kicked by a group.

"Go-you're X's own man!"

Uncle ordered, there is no class of beating!

Such a big movement soon attracted the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the officials of Yingtianfu.

The soldiers armed with sticks and iron rulers pushed away the crowd, saw the center of the chaos, and collectively lost their voices.

The one on the horse is Hinningbo?

The one who beat people was the Bofu guards?

Most of the eyes that were beaten were kicked into pigs' heads, and even acquaintances couldn't recognize them.

Seeing that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Ying Tianfu finally came, Meng bluntly said, "It was this official who ordered to beat people!" ”

“……”

Do you need to admit that you are so sharp in making trouble?

"You should act according to the law, and this official will go to Yingtianfu with you? Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are fine. Where to go. ”

Guards & Servants: "......"

Something seems wrong?

"Don't delay, let's go." Meng turned over and dismounted, and handed his hand over, "Do you want to lock it?" ”

The guards and officials took a step back, their eyes full of suspicion, there must be a situation! I almost hugged my chest and screamed, "Don't come here!" ”

Meng smiled very kindly, swept over the pig's heads that fell to the ground, and kept being passive and not fighting back, which was not his style. If you can't figure out what the other person is going to do, just mess everything up!

At this point, some people can still endure it and not get out?

As for settling grudges with Jinyiwei and talking to Yang Duo, everything is not a problem.

"Let's go."

Meng made up his mind to go to Ying Tianfu, and he had to let things go according to the rhythm he had set.

Kill moves?

He doesn't care!

I can't bear it, so I simply don't accept it.

Dare to slap him in the face, he can't get it back, but he has a helper! Mend the knife from behind, clean and neat! A palm-long dagger is not used, and a boning knife must be applied.

King Han and King Zhao are about to arrive in the capital, as long as this matter is lifted in the court, it will not be themselves.

How about hiding deeply? What about the scheming?

Punch the master to death, and clean you up the same!

Meng made a lot of noise, and he insisted on following the officials to fight Ying Tianfu.

The court official took leave, and the official sighed with a bitter face, I have seen those who tried to escape from prison, and I have never seen those who have taken the officials hostage and want to visit Yingtianfu, what is this!

"This matter cannot be decided by the official. It involves the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and he is in the palace. ”

The pusher made a clever move and directly pushed the trouble.

One back and forth, it is enough for him to relapse from his old illness, and he can't be a director.

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Di was holding Zhu Zhan and teaching him to write stroke by stroke.

Zhu Zhanyan learned happily, but Queen Xu's forehead jumped straight.

After so many years of husband and wife, Empress Xu knows Emperor Yongle better than anyone else.

Teaching people to fight and practice martial arts, absolutely no problem.

Teach someone to write? 100% mistaken children. It's wrong, it's still my own children.

But Emperor Yongle was on the rise, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only secretly make up his mind that when Zhu Zhan was out of the pavilion to study, he must find a better writing master for him. Most of the inmates who repair books in the Hanlin Academy write well, so they can be considered.

The emperor and queen had their own thoughts, but Zhu Zhanyan studied extremely seriously.

Looking at the emperor and grandson who successfully figured out the essence of the wild grass, Hou Xian silently bowed his head, silently recited, he could learn the pen and ink of the Son of Heaven, and others could not ask for it, which was a good thing and a glory for the prince of the Han Dynasty, even if it was written out of the wild grass.

The time of harmony between grandparents and grandchildren was interrupted by the lieutenant official.

Hearing Ying Tianfu's report, Zhu Di did not have the slightest anger on his face, but seemed to have expected it, "Please invite Young Master Yao into the palace." After all these days, it's time to have an explanation. ”

The Zhu family's habit of protecting the shortcomings has once again gained the upper hand, and if things don't get into trouble, it is not good for him to publicly support Meng.

Meng threw a messy punch and took the initiative to lift the lid, and the mouse hiding in the dark will see the light sooner or later.

Beijing

In the big tent of the military camp, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, had a cold face and looked at the guards kneeling in front of him, "Zhang Cheng, how many years have you followed me?" ”

"Returning to China, I have followed Grandpa Guo for twenty-one years."

"Twenty-one years." There seemed to be nostalgia in Xu Huizu's voice, "It's been so long." ”

"Grandpa Guo......"

"You know about the capital, right?"

"Grandpa Guo, ask Grandpa Guo to be the master of the inferior brothers!"

"Mastery?" Xu Huizu sneered, directly took out the dagger he was carrying, and threw it in front of Zhang Baihu, "Recite the merits of your father, and cut yourself." ”

"Grandpa Guo?!" Zhang Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief, "What mistake did the humble man make?" ”

"What's wrong? Scourge of the Nine Clans! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng's eyes turned red violently, and he grabbed the dagger, but instead of cutting himself, he pointed at Xu Huizu.

Before he could make a move, he was subdued by Wei Guogong's personal guards, took off his chin and two arms, and dragged him all the way.

Xu Huizu sat in the tent and did not speak for a long time, until a bloody human head was sent by the guards, and then said: "Zhang Baihu died of sudden illness, Zhang Anren was martyred, and his two sons are willing to take the place of their father and fight in Gansu from the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Yes!"

Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Zhang Cheng's two sons will never have the opportunity to leave northern Xinjiang.

Disposed of Zhang Cheng, Xu Huizu Shangshu pleaded guilty to the Son of Heaven and wrote a letter to Xu Zengshou that he was not in the capital, the Mansion of Wei and the Mansion of the Marquis of Wuyang, and he could not make any more mistakes.
