177 [It's not troublesome at all]
Inshou Palace.
The eunuch ran back with a sad face all the way, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Queen Mother, Governor Zhang Yong asked me to find Zhang Xiong, and when I got to the Dongchang side, Zhang Xiong deduced that without His Majesty's will, Dongchang would never dare to arrest people without authorization." β
"Good, good! Worthy of being my good emperor! β
Empress Dowager Zhang was trembling with anger, the first emperor hadn't been dead for a few years, and she couldn't even shout at Dongchang now.
The eunuch lay on the ground, not daring to answer.
Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that she no longer cared about the political influence, and immediately raised her sleeves and shouted: "Spread the decree to Jinyi Wei Zhang Yue, Zhang Qi, Zhang Lun, Zhang Chun, Zhang Ke, immediately go to Xuanwu Gate to arrest people!" β
The eunuch trembled and quietly took the order.
These are the maiden family of Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Yue is her cousin, Zhang Lun is her cousin, Zhang Chun is her brother-in-law, and Zhang Ke is her brother-in-law. She also has a goduncle who is Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but he has died; Another uncle, who was born as a man, the right attendant of the official to the Ministry of Rites, has also passed away.
The Zhang family's Jinyi Wei thousands and hundreds of households, when they received the Empress Dowager's decree, were completely in a state of bewilderment. It is true that they are military attachΓ©s of the Jinyi Guard, but they all belong to the salaries and idle meals, and they don't even have a single soldier under them!
But the order of the Queen Mother had to be followed.
These Zhang family members each gathered strong slaves and went to Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's house to meet. The two uncles also took their own domestic slaves, a total of more than 100 people, armed with knives, guns and sticks, to the military camp outside the city.
As a result, they pounced on the football field, and the goalkeepers had already returned to the school field, and the group continued to kill in a mighty way.
At this time, the football game had just ended, and countless nobles, wealthy businessmen and civilians followed the Zhang family's buttocks, eating snacks and going to the barracks to watch the excitement.
Originally, it was none of Zhang Heling's business, but his brother was bullied, and he had to come forward in person. Pointing to the school gate and shouting, "Tear it down for me!" β
"Yes, dismantle it, arrest the perpetrator!" Zhang Yanling held back the fire in his belly.
Zhu Ying, the eunuch in charge of the camp training, was not there, and Pan Gui was solely responsible for the drills. This gangster half a year ago is already a guerrilla general at this moment, and he personally led people to line up at the entrance of the battle field, and asked: "The military camp is important, you are not allowed to trespass, do you have an official document from the Ministry of War?" β
Zhang Heling pointed at Pan Gui and said, "Hand over Qiu Ba who hurt my brother!" β
Pan Gui said: "The East Factory, Jinyi Guard, and the Criminal Department (the West Factory and the Inner Factory have been disbanded) all have the right to arrest people, which one are you?" β
Empress Dowager Zhang's cousin Zhang Yue was already gray-haired, took out his waist card and said, "I am a thousand households in brocade clothes." Jin Yiwei is doing things, don't hurry up and hand over people! β
Pan Gui asked again: "Is there an official document from the Fusi of the North and South Towns?" β
"Jinyiwei is doing business, what other official documents do you need?" Zhang Yanling sneered.
Pan Gui directly scolded back: "This is an important place in the military camp, you don't even have official documents, and you still want to arrest people here?" I repeat, those who trespass into the barracks will be killed! β
Zhang Heling said to Zhang Yanling: "Don't talk nonsense with this nonsense, break down the gate and rush in!" β
There were hundreds of people from the Zhang family, and they were immediately ordered to rush to the school gate. Pan Gui blew the military whistle, and thousands of soldiers lined up in formation, stepping on the marching march.
"Kill!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the spears were stabbed out together, so frightened that the family members turned their heads and ran.
"Hahahaha!"
Thousands of spectators laughed happily, and it was obvious that everyone liked to watch Uncle Guo eat deflated.
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling brothers were arrogant and domineering in the Hongzhi Dynasty, and they were just paper tigers in the Zhengde Dynasty. Their previous reputation was too great, so no one dared to touch the tiger's whiskers, and they have been messing around until now without encountering hard stubble.
Even if Wang Yuan didn't let the soldiers deal with Gang, three years later in history, the Zhang brothers would be cleaned up by Zhu Houzhao. Since then, the essence of Uncle Guo's paper tiger has been completely revealed, and he was actually extorted thousands of gold by a gangster in the capital, and he went to extort after the silver was spent, otherwise he would report them for rebellion, and in the end, it was Jinyiwei who came forward to kill the gangster.
Pan Gui drew his knife and shouted: "These thieves intend to storm the barracks, kill them with me!" β
Thousands of soldiers immediately slaughtered out of the school gate, Zhang Heling took the lead in escaping when he saw this, Zhang Yanling was stunned and ran wildly, and the rest of the Zhang family was also frightened.
"Hahahaha!"
Thousands of spectators burst into laughter again, they had just watched a football game, but how could the ball game be as good as Uncle Guo's big play?
β¦β¦
Leopard room.
A brocade guard walked quickly to the emperor and muttered a message, Zhu Houzhao asked rhetorically: "The soldiers trained by Wang Erlang really dare to line up and kill the two uncles?" β
"That's true." Jin Yiwei replied.
Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and laughed: "It is worthy of being the tiger of me, the officers at all levels will be rewarded with one or two silver, and the soldiers of the whole battalion will have an extra meal!" β
Zhu Hou retired from the brocade guard, and said to the eunuch who accompanied him: "Go and tell Zhang Yong, let him contact a few officials, and comment on my two uncles, the good things they did in the past are enough to write dozens of impeachment chapters." β
The emperor is also very helpless, after he completely controlled the court, he always wanted to beat the two uncles, but no one has impeached him in the past two or three years.
Thinking of the two uncles being investigated, and his mother jumping to her feet in anger, Zhu Houzhao's heart was simply upside down.
In history, Zhu Houzhao and Empress Dowager Zhang have a deep relationship between mother and son, and there is no suspicion.
If the emperor and the queen mother really have a good relationship, according to the etiquette system, they should say hello sooner or later. But Zhu Houzhao lived in the palace for two or three years, and then moved to the leopard room until he died, except for major occasions, he never asked the Empress Dowager Zhang to say goodbye, and he didn't even bother to see it.
has not taken the initiative to see his mother for more than ten years, this is called mother-son affection?
In history, Zhu Houzhao died young, and he didn't see how sad Empress Dowager Zhang was.
In King Ning's rebellion, there is a sentence that "Emperor Taizu does not eat blood if he destroys Zheng", openly claiming that Zhu Houzhao is not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. This thing belongs to chasing the wind and catching shadows, but there must always be a shadow to catch, and Zhu Houzhao has already had rumors before he succeeds to the throne!
Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang have been married for four years, and they have not yet given birth to a prince, and hundreds of officials have asked for concubines. One day, Zhu Houzhao was born suddenly without any warning in advance.
Then, the "Zheng Wang's Fallacies" case broke out.
Zheng Wang is a Jingwei military household, and his family is poor and sells women. Later, when he heard that his daughter had entered the palace, he asked someone to inquire about the news, and he learned that his daughter had given birth to a prince. He was so excited that he swaggered around, and even went to the horse's house to climb relatives, and was soon captured by Dongchang, and also arrested Liu Shan, the eunuch who spread rumors.
Emperor Hongzhi personally tried the case, but to no avail, and handed it over to Jinyiwei for trial. The presiding judge of Jinyiwei believes that all those who spread rumors and cause trouble should be punished for their crimes.
Emperor Hongzhi's reply is very interesting, the eunuch who spread rumors was beheaded, and Zheng Wang, who claimed that his daughter gave birth to the crown prince, was saved by the emperor and was only imprisoned. Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne and granted amnesty to the world, Zheng Wang was actually released, and he went to Dong'anmen to ask to see the emperor, saying that he wanted to see his grandson. Dongchang struck again and put him to death.
What's even more bizarre is that the rumored Zhengde's biological mother (Zheng Jinlian) only declared that "it has been released". What does it mean to have fallen? If you are guilty, you should be put to death directly, so vague that it is difficult for people not to guess.
This matter is known throughout the country, and they all believe that Zhu Houzhao is indeed the son of the former emperor, but he was not born to Empress Dowager Zhang, but to the palace maid Zheng Jinlian.
How could Zhu Houzhao himself not know about such a big thing?
In addition, Empress Dowager Zhang has a strong desire to control and manages her husband and son obediently, Zhu Houzhao does not dare to track down the truth, and there is a separation between mother and son.
The time when Zhu Houzhao moved into the leopard house and settled down was just after the rumored grandfather Zheng Wang was executed! Isn't it too much of a coincidence?
Zheng Wang was exonerated of the death penalty by Emperor Hongzhi, which is strange; Zheng Jinlian's whereabouts are unknown, which is also strange; As soon as Zheng Wang died, Zhu Houzhao moved out of the palace and no longer took the initiative to meet with Empress Dowager Zhang, which was strange.
"Wang Erlang is a good soldier, only follows the system, and is not afraid of the powerful," Zhu Houzhao said to Li Ying with a smile, "Li Sanlang, go out of the palace with me, I want to have a few drinks with Erlang to celebrate." β
When the emperor came to Wang Yuan's mansion, Wang Yuan immediately pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" β
Zhu Houzhao asked, "What is the crime?" β
Wang Yuan told the matter again and concluded: "The soldiers trained by the ministers do not know how to be flexible, they only obey the military orders and collide with their relatives, which is also a crime; These soldiers broke into a catastrophe, and they actually begged the ministers for help without authorization, and the sergeants privately contacted the civilian officials, which is the second crime! β
Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Hahaha, good collision, let's have two drinks!" β
Wang Yuan originally wanted to intercede with those soldiers, but what he said just now was just the beginning. As a result, there was still a stomach full of words that were not spoken, and the emperor actually shouted "good collision", what the hell is this?
Wang Yuan thought it was a big trouble, but there was no.
Tomorrow, there will be countless officials who impeach the two uncles, but at most they will be fined, and it is impossible to really punish the crime, just take the opportunity to beat the queen mother.
However, since then, the Zhang brothers have not dared to play tricks, and they are likely to become frequent guests in the Yanguan Recital.
Although Wang Yuan couldn't understand the situation, since the emperor was happy, let the emperor be even happier.
Wang Wensu was immediately summoned, and Wang Yuan said, "Your Majesty may be dual-minded? β
"I can't." Zhu Houzhao said.
Wang Yuan smiled: "This gentleman can be used for two purposes. β
Zhu Houzhao was interested: "Let's try it." β
Wang Yuan casually took out two abacus problem books, asked Zhu Houzhao and Li Ying to read the questions at the same time, and Wang Wensu knocked an abacus with his left and right hands.
I saw that Wang Wensuyun's fingers were flying, and his hands turned into phantoms, and the questions he answered were all correct.
Zhu Houzhao was greatly surprised, and the case was amazed: "God is like a god, there is no one in the world." Where does this person work? β
Wang Wensu replied: "Xiaomin is white. β
Zhu Houzhao said: "You can go to the household department." I don't have any fame, and I can't be promoted too much, so I'll go to the household department to do a school inspection. β
Household inspection, nine products, the last official position, a small sesame official.
Wang Wensu was ecstatic, he just came to learn from Wang Yuan, and he never thought that he would get an official job just after he came.
Wang Yuan was also speechless, he was just amusing the emperor, how could he make an official position?
Emperor Zhengde is so casual.
