Outside the door, a eunuch walked in quickly: "Oh no, Your Majesty is going to kill someone." ”

Zhang Heling smiled disappreciatively: "Who dares to cut off your head, our brother will intercede with Your Majesty and let Your Majesty spare your death." ”

The eunuch sneered in his heart and said, "It's not to cut off our heads, it's to cut off your heads, and Niangniang will let you enter the palace quickly!" ”

"Brother, why did Your Majesty remember to cut us down?"

Zhang Heling was so frightened that he rolled down from the chair and punched Zhang Yanling: "Something as stupid as a pig, what trouble did you make behind my back!" ”

Half an hour later,

Kunning Palace,

At this time, Ning Shouhou and Jian Changbo were kneeling on the ground, pouting their pi strands to the sky, and Empress Zhang picked up the board and twitched violently.

The brothers wailed and shook the sky, and the eunuchs and palace maids on the side frowned, the queen was virtuous and dignified, what kind of monstrous disaster did these two uncles cause.

Empress Zhang's phoenix eyes filled with tears: "When the palace was elected as the crown princess, Daddy once warned the palace not to bother the prince with his own troubles!"

When the palace was canonized as the queen, Daddy warned the palace not to disturb the emperor with his own troubles!

Now that you have forgotten, you still dare to collude with the border ministers and disrupt the court, Your Majesty has cut off your heads, and you don't want to let the palace help you intercede! ”

Empress Zhang's father, Zhang Luan, is a prisoner of the country, full of poetry and morality, reasonable, and ordinary talents.

That's why he taught Empress Zhang such a virtuous and virtuous daughter.

But Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were not angry, and before they participated in the imperial examination, Empress Zhang chose the crown princess, and the two naturally didn't have to study, so they knew a lot less truth.

When the two brothers of the Zhang family heard that His Majesty was going to cut off their heads this time, they didn't care about the pain, and hugged Queen Zhang and begged for mercy: "Niangniang spare your life!" ”

After Wang Yue handed over the impeachment recital, Yan Chengjin immediately presented his father's recital, after all, the ultimate goal was not to punish the Zhang brothers, but to ask for military salaries.

Daddy is counting on him.

His Majesty summoned him to the palace, and Yan Chengjin followed the summoned eunuch to Fengtian Palace, and he had already prepared a statement in his heart, so he was prepared.

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Wang Yue's impeachment is sparse, you asked him to impeach?" ”

Yan Chengjin nodded honestly: "It was the minister who asked him to impeach." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Why don't you impeach yourself?" ”

"The minister is afraid that His Majesty will protect Ning Shouhou and Jian Changbo."

The audience was silent.

Emperor Hongzhi's old face twitched fiercely, Li Dongyang frowned, and Liu Jian secretly sighed in his heart, this son is even more reckless than the old man.

All the officials looked at him, this person either had a brain or no brain.

Yan Chengjin is like a person who has nothing to do, and asking Emperor Hongzhi for silver is a technical job.

Today, no matter what, I have to pluck a few hairs from Emperor Hongzhi.

I only heard Yan Chengjin continue: "The minister has never commanded the army, if he says it, His Majesty may not believe it, Lord Wang is the first three-sided general system, and he knows the catty of it, and now the border of Ningxia has reached the point where there is no rice to cook, in addition to the sparse performance, my father also sent a letter to the minister, asking the minister to transport the grain stored at home to the border, it is conceivable that the border army salary has reached the point of shortage. ”

It's upside down!

What other face do I have to be this emperor?

Emperor Hongzhi read the letter, his anger disappeared, he didn't feel tears in his eyes, he couldn't speak for a long time, and after taking a deep breath, he said: "An Dingbo is my good general." ”

Hearing that the Zhang brothers were in Kunning Palace, Emperor Hongzhi came to ask for the guilt in a rage, and at this time, he heard a painful howl in the hall, and he didn't know whether to go in.

Empress Zhang knew that Emperor Hongzhi was coming, so she bowed: "My brother has violated the ban, Your Majesty will handle it impartially, and you don't have to be bothered by your concubines." ”

Emperor Hongzhi sat on the throne and saw that the Zhang brothers had been tortured, but he did not lose the slightest anger: "Zhu Xiang has been removed from his official position by me and confiscated for a year, as for the two of you, I will not spare you!" ”

Zhang Heling cried and grabbed the ground, lying on the ground like a dead dog: "Your Majesty spare your life!" Mother's life! ”

Zhang Yanling's reaction was a little slow, looking at his brother, what is there to cry about, His Majesty hasn't said how to punish it.

Emperor Hongzhi glared: "You two pay 300,000 stones!" Fill the granary of Ningxia Mansion, and I want you to spit out all the silver that is greedy for ink, and add forty court rods! ”

Zhang Heling almost fainted in fright, he lost money, he lost money!

Emperor Hongzhi was furious and almost scared him to death.

Zhang Yanling said pitifully: "But...... Your Majesty, we only have silver, not so much food......"

Zhang Heling's backhand was a slap, and he slapped his younger brother with seven meat and eight vegetables, and it was a great luck not to cut off his head, crying: "The minister obeyed the order and set to transport the grain to the granary in Ningxia within a month." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "It's within half a month!" ”

The two brothers of the Zhang family came out of Kunning Palace with their pi shares in their arms, and they did not dare to disobey the holy decree, but where to raise so much food at the moment?

Zhang Heling said bitterly: "Trillium, you come out first this time, and my brother will help you out next time." ”

Zhang Yanling said angrily: "My brother obviously has money, why do you want my brother to let it out?" Dad said, the eldest brother is like a father, and my brother should help me out. ”

Zhang Heling was angry: "Stinky and shameless things, they are all old, and they still want to be my son?!" ”

When the two were arguing, they saw a man approaching them.

Isn't this the nemesis Zhou Yu?

The brothers instantly entered the stage of eye contact.

'Brother, beat him?' ’

Zhang Heling shook his head silently, and blinked his eyes again, "We can't beat it now, next time it will be, but ...... This dog must have food. ’

Zhang Yanling's eyes lit up, the Zhou family has a lot of rice mills in Jiangnan and Guangdong, and they will definitely be able to collect enough 300,000 stones!

Zhou Yu saw the Zhang brothers, secretly said that he was unlucky, and was about to take a detour and walk away, but he heard a call, "Chang Ningbo, don't come to harm." ”

"Everyone is a national relative, come and reminisce about the past!" Zhang Yanling smirked.

It is rare for these two brothers to be so polite.

Zhou Yu snorted coldly: "I heard that your two brothers were impeached by Wang Yue?" ”

Zhang Heling is not a person who wants to be faced: "What's the big deal about impeachment, Your Majesty won't cut off our heads." ”

Zhou Yu didn't bother to pay attention to them, and was about to go to Renshou Palace, but Zhang Heling couldn't help but stop him and said, "Collect grain!" Do you sell or not? ”

Zhou Yu said: "One stone, three coins of silver!" Do you dare to buy it? ”

The brothers were happy on their faces: "Deal!" ”

“？？？” Zhou Yu.

Emperor Hongzhi fined 300,000 stone of grain, which is a bit scary, because the grain that comes up from the tax every summer is only 4 million stone.

After the grain was raised, the military department sent people to escort it to Ningxia.

Yan Chengjin handed over a letter to the house manager: "Let my father open it himself, and burn it immediately after reading it." ”

The housekeeper nodded.

In Ningxia Mansion, there is snow outside the big tent, and the whistling north wind pours into the mouth, making people speechless.

When the barracks ran out of food, Yan Ke ordered his subordinates to cook porridge with the remaining rice in a cauldron, and then went to the grassland to dig up some grass roots and cook them together.

If there is no grain in the granary, no one will eat much.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Yan Kesong was in the barracks and ate with everyone.

An adjutant general said to him: "Lord Commander, last night, another 500 people escaped. ”

Yan Kesong scolded and scolded: "Lord Ben said, my son is in the capital, and he will definitely help the old man get food, why?" Because my son is the champion, he is smart and steady, I am his father, can he ignore his father! These cowards, none of them believe in their own officials! ”

The adjutant general had a bitter face, my lord, where is it so easy to ask for military salaries? If it was that easy, what would you do in Tuntian?

The soldiers obviously didn't believe it either, and it wasn't a day or two since the chief soldier bragged about his son, and they were all used to it.

The adjutant general had a gloomy face: "Your Excellency the General Soldier, we would rather fight and die with the Tatars and eat the flesh and blood of the Tartars than be a starving ghost." ”

One hundred responses, echoing constantly.

Yan Kesong was still firm: "This official has written to the court, and His Majesty will send grain soon." ”

The adjutant general finally couldn't help but say: "The chief soldier doesn't know, even the chief constitution has no choice, every winter, there will always be many people fleeing the guard, but I am afraid that by the spring of next year, the granary will still be empty." ”

Yan Kesong sighed lightly, how could he bear to see them starve to death in the border city.

Suddenly I thought of my son again, and tears suddenly appeared in my eyes, and I didn't know how he was in the capital.

"Lord Commander! A mile outside the account, the marching troops were found. ”

"But the Tatars are coming?"

"The wind and snow are too big to see clearly."

The trumpet sounded in the army! The soldiers were on standby, ambushed in the snow, Yan Kesong put on his military uniform and led the army there.

"Lord Commander! It's the grain cart of the imperial court! The spy shouted.

When the grain truck walked in, Yan Kesong saw that it was the house steward who came back with the grain, but why are there so many grains?

"That kid won't sell all the houses!" Yan Kesong asked.

"Master, it's not our family's grain, it's the young master and the court who want to come."

Yan Kesong laughed: "Did you listen, the official said, my son is a brocade and has the ability, you always say that the official brags, this time I saw it, 300,000 stones, I can't eat it all while lying down!" ”

Back in the account, the house steward kept trembling and took out the letter: "Master, this is a letter from the young master to you, let you burn it immediately after reading it." ”

Yan Ke was busy opening the letter, and what caught his eye was 'Daddy opened it himself, remember to burn it after reading it, and don't leave a note.' ’

In it, he wrote a proposal for the rectification of military rations, and asked him to post a notice to change it to a permit for grain of more than five stones, and for more than 100 bundles of grain and grass, and to adjust the price to one stone and three coins.

In the past, it was 500 stones, but now it is 5 stones, which is a big drop.

After the notice was posted, the next day, the people sold the surplus grain for money.
