Zhang Tongchang trembled when he was smoking, and the cold sweat of pain broke out, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, but his face was full of dissatisfaction.

Zhu Cihong saw that his face was full of stubbornness, and he went up with a few whips, and scolded while pumping: "Torture the eunuch, there is no monarch father, do you dare to disobey?" ”

Zhang Tongchang didn't dare to dodge, secretly shrunk his arms to resist, and after a few whips, he took a breath and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the two eunuchs are openly running rampant in the countryside as the emperor, they are smearing His Majesty's face, scolding the royal family, and everything the ministers do is for the consideration of the monarch's father, and there is no intention of bullying the monarch!" ”

Zhu Cihong looked at him coldly and said, "It's good if you admit it!" The eunuch is a royal servant, and if he makes a mistake, he will be punished by the inner court, how can you be allowed to insult and beat, and you will be a stick and a palm! ”

It was only now that Zhang Tongchang realized that he seemed to underestimate the young emperor's calf protection nature.

However, he is very strong, very stubborn, and has played the true character of a generation of ministers, holding his head high and saying: "Eunuchs beat horses and rushed the streets, trampled on the people, and insulted the officials, Your Majesty not only connived at the house slaves, but also whipped the courtiers and refused to obey!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is not in a hurry, and without waiting for Zhu Cihong to speak, the eunuch Shen Mao next to him took the lead in scolding.

Zhang Tongchang's words were like a knife deeply pierced into the hearts of Shen Mao and other imperial eunuchs, and he deeply felt the malice of this sentence.

Several subordinate officials of the governor's yamen were so frightened that their faces turned yellow, and they trembled one by one, and they didn't dare to come out.

Zhang Tong's face did not change, the more frustrated he became, the more courageous he became, he said with a heartfelt word: "If you eat the king, you will have a minister's position, and it is the duty of the minister, and now you will risk death for your majesty!" ”

He secretly exhaled a long breath and said angrily: "Your Majesty has set up hundreds of officials to fight against the same enemy, authorized the authority of the eunuchs, ruled the world with domestic slaves, and the eunuchs harmed the people, so that the onlookers looked at each other angrily, daring to be angry but not daring to speak!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked.

I only heard Zhang Tongchang continue: "The minister is in the locality, as the governor of a province, following the way of Confucius and Mencius, and ruling the law of the court, what is the crime? Now His Majesty does not allow his ministers to argue, that is, to whip his courtiers with non-punishment, this holy monarch? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong stood up angrily on the spot as if he had been shocked, stared at Zhang Tongchang viciously and said, "Okay, you Zhang Tongchang, have you inherited your great-ancestor Zhang Juzheng's dominance?" Dare to criticize the monarch's father! ”

Zhang Tongchang's heart trembled, his great-grandfather Zhang Ju was the teacher of the emperor's great-ancestor Emperor Wanli in front of him.

When Emperor Tianwu said this, he undoubtedly hated the powerful ministers who were extremely hateful, even including his great-ancestor Zhang Juzheng......

didn't wait for Zhang Tongchang to refute, only to hear Zhu Cihong laugh angrily: "I commanded the army at the age of eight, participated in politics at the age of nine, swept away the Tartar captives outside, eliminated the power traitors inside, leveled the Kou, restored Shenjing, slave Mandingmeng, destroyed the Western Regions, collected the South Seas, Tianwu New Deal, recreated the prosperous world, returned to the heart of the four seas, and came to the court from all directions!" ”

Zhu Cihong pointed at him and said proudly: "I am both the third emperor and the five emperors, and the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors are just like this, but you say that I am a mediocre king who rules the world with domestic slaves?" How much do you despise me? ”

At this time, Zhu Cihong's image suddenly became taller, like a mountain, which made people breathless.

Zhang Tongchang opened his mouth slightly, the pestle was speechless, thinking about it, people's imperial hegemony is so dazzling, it is all real political achievements, saying that he is a mediocre king, I am afraid that no one in the whole world will believe it, right?

However, since you have opened your mouth and told you to death, you must have the courage of a Zhengchen and admonish to the end!

Zhang Tongchang seemed to be out of the way, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty is determined tomorrow, and the world knows it, but Your Majesty trusts eunuchs and despises courtiers, which is an indisputable fact. ”

Zhu Cihong was already furious, he slapped the table and shouted: "The world is so big, where is a bowl of Qingping!" I do my best to do everything, but you blame me for all the troubles. Everything depends on me, what do I want you to do! ”

Today, just because of the eunuch incident, Zhu Cihong originally planned to teach Zhang Tongchang a lesson and scold it, but unexpectedly, this guy also learned Hai Rui and said such a long story!

Damn, Zhu Cihong almost didn't suppress his temper and whipped this old guy to death with his own hands!

Xu Sheng and the others who accompanied him were secretly worried, afraid that Emperor Tianwu would be angry and would give Governor Zhang the blood of the offending Yan Zhizhi!

In the end, Zhang Tongchang was a little reckless, he knelt on the ground, and said: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the minister is just the right king, the minister, and the minister is ...... for peace and order for all generations."

Zhu Cihong shouted: "You are a fart! ”

Zhang Tongchang's burning eyes were filled with tears, and he said sadly: "Your Majesty, the minister has committed a great crime of disrespect today, please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree and kill the minister to be punished with the Ming canon!" ”

Zhu Cihong sat back on the Taishi chair with a calm face, rubbed the horsewhip in his hand, and stared at Zhang Tongchang with his eyes, thinking about whether to kill this old guy.

At this moment, the steward of the porter hurriedly came, he didn't know what was going on inside, let alone the emperor himself, so he shouted outside the door: "My lord, the eunuch Ma Gonggong, the eunuch of Xijing Town, has led people to break into the governor's yamen!" ”

Zhang Tongchang still knelt on the ground, and when he heard the news, a trace of happiness flashed on his sad and indignant face.

This guy is finally looking for a field!

......

Today is also the day when Ma Jixiang returns to Xi'an, and the two eunuchs who are riding on the street are in a hurry to meet their godfather.

In the luxurious and magnificent Ma Fu, Ma Jixiang, who had been running for several days, slept for three hours.

When he awoke, he got up lazily and walked out to the porch to feed the canaries in captivity.

"Godfather! Godfather! ”

"Godfather, you have to make the decision for us!"

The two eunuchs who had been beaten in the governor's yamen staggered into the Ma Mansion, each with bruises on their mouths and blood stains on their buttocks, wailing all the way.

The eunuchs and maids in the courtyard were all stunned, and the sleepy-eyed Ma Jixiang couldn't help frowning: "Who is howling?" ”

Without waiting for the eunuch next to him to investigate, I saw that the two beaten eunuchs had come in out of breath and lay on the ground, constantly kowtowing and crying.

"Godfather, you have to make the decision for us!"

Ma Jixiang saw their embarrassed appearance and knew that something must have happened, so he asked sadly, "Who beat them?" Let's be honest! ”

The two eunuchs didn't dare to be hypocritical anymore, and immediately talked about what happened to him, how he was slapped and slapped by the people of the governor's yamen, adding oil and vinegar from time to time.

I have to say that the eunuch is a natural actor, and many eunuchs have taken acting as their sideline in order to survive and be promoted.

I saw the fat eunuch talking while snotting and crying hoarsely, almost fainting on the spot, which was really distressing.

After listening to the story of his godsons, Ma Jixiang's face was white and blue, his blood was surging, his internal organs were hot, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "Zhang Tongchang, our family is not finished with you!" ”

Then, Ma Gonggong's words and deeds were the same, saying that if he was looking for a place, he would find a place, and immediately took a large number of eunuchs under his command, and went to the governor's yamen with a luxurious guard of honor to guard the eunuchs.
