Not long after Zhu Houzhao dispersed, the British Duke Zhang Mao took Zhang Lun to see Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao also announced that they would come in.

"Your Majesty, the old minister led Zhang Lun to ask you for the guilt!" As soon as Zhang Mao saw Zhu Houzhao, he made a big salute, and Zhang Lun also saluted.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help asking, "What kind of crime, please?" ”

"Zhang Lun was young, he collided with the envoys, and almost caused a catastrophe for the Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Mao replied.

"Zhang Lun is not guilty, but there is a mistake", Zhu Houzhao said and asked Zhang Lun: "Zhang Lun, do you know what mistakes you have made." ”

Zhang Lun naturally didn't know that he was quickly released after being arrested by Chang Zhengyi, the imperial historian of the city patrol, after all, Chang Zhengyi didn't dare to really arrest them and put them in prison, but Zhang Lun still told the British public Zhang Mao about it.

The British prince Zhang Mao knew that it was not a trivial matter to pay tribute to foreign vassals, not to mention that he was still a little prince, so he had to bring his grandson to ask for guilt, which could be regarded as a probe to see if Emperor Zhu Houzhao would really blame his grandson in order to appease the envoys of the little prince.

"Please make it clear to Your Majesty", Zhang Lun could only reply.

"You're wrong in the flesh of the Warriors! A barbarian dares to whip my Ming people at will in my Ming Dynasty, why don't you kill him directly on the spot after you are a general! He also allowed him to come to my court to be arrogant, and he put himself in prison! Shame is not shame! Do you really think that I will execute you for the sake of a barbarian? Like a coward! How dare I expect someone like you to protect my Ming Dynasty and protect my Ming people! ”

Zhu Houzhao reprimanded loudly.

And Zhang Lun didn't expect that he was reprimanded by a hijab, not because he had collided with the envoy, but because he couldn't behave arrogantly, he couldn't help explaining:

"Your Majesty, the minister is not a coward! If it weren't for the guy surnamed Chang who moved out of my eldest father, the minister would have killed him a long time ago! ”

"Don't explain! Get the hell out of here! Seeing you like this, I feel ashamed of your ancestors! ”

Zhu Houzhao said and waved his sleeves away.

And Zhang Lun couldn't help but stand up, wanting to explain again, for a while, his muscles and bones burst out, and he couldn't wait to go and slash Urusborot now, but at this time, it was Zhang Mao who grabbed Zhang Lun:

"Confused child, Your Majesty is so excited when he provokes him like this! Even if you kill Urusborot now, it doesn't make sense, what does Your Majesty mean, don't you really understand, he is telling us that His Majesty intends to revitalize the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, and does not want us nobles to be as weak as Wenchen, Your Majesty is to reuse our nobles, let us continue to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, go back to learn martial arts and the art of war, and it will be of great use in the future! ”

As soon as Zhang Mao said this, Zhang Lun's heart calmed down a little, but Zhu Houzhao's words that he was a coward were still like a thorn in his heart, so that as long as he closed his eyes, he could remember Zhu Houzhao's reprimand, and he suddenly wanted to kill a few Tartars immediately to show that he was not a coward.

Zhu Houzhao knows that the Ming Dynasty has developed to the present, and in the context of the great era of advocating literature and suppressing martial arts, many military ministers and nobles have lost their blood, and it is first-class to engage in internal fighting and embezzle people's interests, but they have long since lost their courage when leading troops to fight and dealing with foreign enemies, otherwise they would not have been pressed by civilian officials, and even surrendered directly in a row when the Ming Dynasty fell in history, and the degree of cowardice was not inferior to that of civilian officials.

And now Zhu Houzhao wants to stimulate the blood in the bones of these people in various ways, so as not to make these nobles forget what their mission is.

……

Because Zhu Houzhao had a tough attitude towards the outside world, the courtiers under him also began to change their attitudes.

Although Urusborot was flogged, he still had to continue to fulfill his mission to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, so when Zhai Ming, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, sent someone to summon him at the same hall, he still had to come to the Taifu Temple obediently.

"Jinong Urusborot, your country said to offer 3,000 good horses, but you gave 300 bad horses, what do you mean by this, do you want to deliberately deceive my Ming, or do you say that these 300 bad horses are just the beasts that you Urusborot brought to sell! Haven't you brought your horses yet? ”

Taifu Temple Qing Zhai Ming asked.

"These are three thousand good horses!" Urusborot replied directly.

"Presumptuous! It seems that you are not sincere, and this official will truthfully report your behavior of deceiving my Ming to Your Majesty! Moreover, you are now guilty of deceiving Your Majesty! Don't leave the capital without permission! This official is the Cabinet and the Criminal Department, detain you! Then it will be decided by His Majesty! ”

After Zhai Ming finished speaking, he asked Urusborot to leave by himself, and he no longer took the initiative to send him off.

Urusborot was getting more and more angry, he didn't expect that he would come to pay tribute, not only was he bullied by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but now even a Ming official dared to bully himself, he now wanted to return to Tartary immediately, inform the little prince of the matter, and then lead tens of thousands of iron horsemen to conquer the Ming Dynasty.

But now he can't leave, and there is still the possibility of being imprisoned and tried.

In this regard, the more Urus Borot thought about it, the more depressed he became, and what made him even more depressed was that the officials of the Ministry of Rites no longer treated him, and did not even mention the matter of rewarding him in return.

Urusborot began to regret following the orders of his father Khan to send envoys to the Ming Dynasty, and he found that it was impossible to get the slightest benefit from coming to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and it was not cost-effective to plunder directly.

Urusborot can only drink in the Huitong Pavilion now, he can't help but think of his previous experience of slashing and slaughtering Han people at will, he hates the feeling now, this feeling of being controlled by Han people and confined in the Huitong Pavilion, so he directly took advantage of the alcohol to leave the Huitong Pavilion.

Seeing this, the officials of the Huitong Pavilion naturally immediately came to stop him: "Lord Jinong! You must not leave this place without the permission of the imperial court! ”

"Get out of the way! You lowly Han people also want to stop me, believe it or not, this king will kill you directly! Do you know how many Han Chinese this king has killed? Dare to stop this king and look for death! ”

Urusborot scolded with a little drunkenness, and the officials below were also a little instinctively afraid of this Urusborot, after all, Urusborot was tall and strong.

Therefore, this Urusborot also left the Huitong Pavilion, and came to Wuman City, and wandered around, and saw a private house that broke into it directly, and the owner of this private house saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "What do you want to do!" ”

Urusborot snorted and pushed the owner away, and Urusborot, who had always been good at robbing houses, broke straight into the inner courtyard of this house, and when he saw a young woman who was cooking in the kitchen, he walked over with a lewd smile and immediately threw the young woman to the ground.

And the head of the house, seeing that his wife was about to be insulted, hurriedly ran over and stopped the Urusborot: "This good man! No matter what tribe you are from the Tatars, you must not insult my wife, or I will report to the authorities! ”

"Despicable Han Chinese! Death to this king! ”

This Urusborot directly picked up a kitchen knife and slashed at the owner, who was hacked to death on the spot!

At this time, the officials under the Huitong Pavilion had already reported to the main guest of the Ministry of Rites, Shiro Zhongtiebo, about Urusborough leaving the Huitong Pavilion without authorization, and also rushed over with officers and soldiers, but they happened to see the scene of Urusborot killing this Ming citizen.
