Emperor Hongzhi glared angrily and said, "Where did the horse bandits come from in the capital?" Even if you want to deceive me, find a clever reason. ”

Zhang Heling had a worried face: "The letter is about horse bandits, Your Majesty doesn't believe it." ”

took out the letter paper from his arms and handed it to Xiao Jing.

A month ago, His Majesty decreed that the Silk Road would be opened.

Zhou Yu instigated it, and the Zhang brothers were full of joy and wanted to go to the northwest to open a collapsed house.

The collapsed house in Liangxiang can earn a few hundred taels of silver in a month, which is more profitable than the restaurant in the capital.

Hearing that His Majesty handed over the collapsed house to Yan Chengjin to build, the Zhang brothers were not happy, and rushed ahead of Yan Chengjin to build the collapsed house in the northwest.

Yang Yiqing suppressed the bandits in the northwest, forced the bandits to be anxious, and plundered everywhere.

Who knew that Zhang Yanling was arrested, and Zhang Yanling still said to the horse bandit leader nonchalantly that he was the brother-in-law of the current emperor.

When the horse bandits heard this, they were delighted and ordered people to tie him up and arrest him.

sent a letter to Shouning Houfu in the capital to force the imperial court to withdraw its troops.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "I dare to carry me out of the capital, come here, drag Shouning Marquis out, and blame the twenty boards!" ”

Zhang Yanling went to the northwest, it must have been Zhang Heling's idea.

After the little eunuch dragged Zhang Heling out, Xiao Jing whispered: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei of Kunning Palace is here, and Marquis Shouning has gone to Kunning Palace, presumably the queen has already ......?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi was a little embarrassed, and he didn't save it.

The northwest territory is vast, and there are many places where horse bandits hide.

If you want to save people, you need to send troops, and once you use the army, you need a lot of money.

……

Northwest Yansui, Fengming Mountain.

Zhang Yanling was locked in a wooden cage, and there was also a big eater in the cage.

Zhang Yanling asked, "What is your surname?" ”

"Our surname is Zhang." The big cannibal glanced at him nonchalantly.

Zhang Yanling was happy, leaned over and said, "What a coincidence, my surname is also Zhang!" ”

After a while, Zhang Yanling stared at him stupidly, feeling that something was wrong, the name of the Great Cannibal was longer than that of the Tatars.

I have been in business for more than ten years, and I have never heard of the surname Zhang.

"Who are you fooling? What's your name Zhang?! ”

The big cannibal was insulted: "Our name is Zhang Yong, and we are from the palace!" ”

Zhang Yanling's eyes widened, he picked up the hay on the ground, and sat down with the hem of his clothes: "This lord is Uncle Jianchang!" Which palace are you a eunuch and why are you dressed so gorgeously? Is the Great Food full of silver? ”

The name of the Zhang brothers, Zhang Yong has heard of it.

"How can you be those two lords of the Zhang family! You want to deceive us! ”

Zhang Yong picked up the bricks on the ground and slammed them on Zhang Yanling's head, Zhang Yanling fell to the ground, convulsed, and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

"Humph! The two lords enjoyed the glory and wealth in the capital, how could they come to the desolate land in the northwest. ”

Now the tricks of scammers are really getting more and more sophisticated.

Zhang Yong met many scammers along the way, and after defrauding him of all his money, he began to be cautious.

However, this liar's tricks are too clever to let him go out and harm people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yong picked up the brick again.

……

The capital, the East Palace.

Zhu Houzhao's stomach hurt for a long time, and when he returned to the palace, he squatted in the toilet room, and after drinking the goat milk given to him by Yan Chengjin, he felt better.

"Your Highness, I heard that Niangniang was crying sadly in Kunning Palace, why don't you go and have a look?" Liu Jin is extremely well-informed about the news in the palace.

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "It must be my father who made my mother angry again, let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

After the death of the emperor's sister, the father was busy with political affairs, and the queen mother was alone in the harem, and few people spoke.

Only the crown princess went to accompany her.

Zhu Houzhao thought that Empress Zhang always interceded for him on weekdays, so that he would suffer a lot less whips, so he was a little worried.

When she arrived at Kunning Palace, Queen Zhang's eyes were full of pear blossoms and rain, wiping her tears.

Emperor Hongzhi gently patted her on the back, soothed her a few words, and said: "If the bandits are not eliminated, the Silk Road in the northwest is difficult to open, and the people in the northwest have no rice to cook, and the horse bandits coerce the Ming Dynasty to retreat, can the queen understand my feelings?" ”

There are too many places to hide in the Hetao, and it took Wang Yue 50,000 people to search the entire Hetao for half a year.

It must be impossible for the imperial court to send 50,000 soldiers and horses to save one person.

The imperial power of the Ming Dynasty is inviolable, and it will not withdraw from the army.

Your Majesty said this, it must be that you will not be saved.

"The concubine understands herself." Empress Zhang wiped away her tears.

Empress Dowager Zhou sighed and said: "When Yingzong was taken captive to Wara, the mourning family was like you, crying to death.

But even if it is the first emperor, he has to think about the country, not to mention the women like me, the emperor is not a ruthless person, and the mourning family hopes that you can understand him. ”

Liu Jian shook his head and sighed.

Yang Yiqing only has 5,000 people, and he wants to search the Hetao to save people, but he is afraid that it will be the Year of the Monkey.

In order to search the entire Hetao and find out the people, it is necessary to mobilize the border army of Yansui.

Now that spring has begun, it is time for the Tatars to move south to intrude on the border.

If the 50,000-strong army of Yansui is transferred away and the border garrison is empty, it will allow the Tatar Khan to succeed.

And mobilize so many people, how many fertile fields will be wasted.

"Please also ask the mother to focus on the overall situation!"

"Please also ask the mother to focus on the overall situation!"

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others were not interested in Zhang Yanling's life.

Not to mention the huge amount of money spent to rescue this person.

Empress Zhang took a deep breath and said: "The concubines can distinguish between family affairs and state affairs, and when my father was alive, I instructed the concubines not to bother Your Majesty with the affairs of the Zhang family, so that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother bothered." ”

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao walked in and said: "This palace knows how to save Uncle Jianchang, and the queen mother doesn't have to be sad." ”

Everyone saw Zhu Houzhao walking in in a big way, with a smile on his lips, as if Jian Changbo's life or death was none of his business.

Emperor Hongzhi knew that he was bragging, and said coldly: "Don't mess around today." ”

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang had different colors after seeing Zhu Houzhao, and the prince's words could not be taken seriously.

Empress Dowager Zhou looked happy, beckoned to Zhu Houzhao, and said, "Come to the mourning family." ”

Zhu Houzhao walked a few steps and stood in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou to say goodbye: "Houzhao has seen the Empress Dowager." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou nodded with a smile: "The mourning family just heard it, you said there is a way?" ”

"In the world, except for the main palace, only Lao Gao is the smartest, you might as well let Lao Gao find a way." Zhu Houzhao said.

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and others have black faces, dare to love us are all fools, in the world, only you two little bastards are the wisest?

Empress Dowager Zhou giggled, in her opinion, there is no problem with this, the prince is the prince, and he will be the son of heaven in the future, and he is the smartest person in the world.

Emperor Hongzhi forgot about Yan Chengjin, and this son always had strange ideas.

"Summons Yan Chengjin to Kunning Palace."

A moment later, Yan Chengjin came to the main hall, I don't know what happened, Empress Zhang had obviously just cried, and even the Empress Dowager Zhou came.

Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in a precarious position, and Li Dongyang and Zhu Houzhao were waiting beside him.

"The minister is strict and ......"

"No need to be polite, Jian Changbo was captured by horse bandits in the northwest, I don't want to mobilize the border army, do you have a way to save people?"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, and Xiao Jing carried the tray to Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin picked up the letter paper, and wrote a few lines crookedly on it, which roughly meant: The imperial court will withdraw immediately, otherwise it will tear up the ticket?

It's good to tear up the ticket!
