Chapter 64: Channing is in the limelight
Ye Guan also saw the four gilded big characters on the plaque on the lintel 'British Mansion', but he didn't take it too seriously, that Wang Meng's words and deeds were vulgar, he definitely didn't look like a prince, at most he was the steward of the mansion, there were princes, Jinyi Wei, and the nine traitors in the future, were you still afraid of him?
Ye Guan is not a native of the capital, and he doesn't know how powerful the British Duke is, but the future traitors of the Eight Plus One know the origin of the British Duke. Liu Jin and Zhang Yong next to him showed timidity in their eyes, and Qian Ning also cried with a sad face, looking like a dead father. But that's right, not only is Channing's father dead, but even his adoptive father has long since died.
Zhang Yong said to Zhu Houzhao in his ear: "Son, this is the British Mansion, are we going to forget it?" It's a big deal, and if the lord finds out, you'll be punished. ”
Zhu Houzhao was also a little hesitant when he saw the plaque of the British government. Other mansions are okay, no matter who Wang Meng is, Zhu Houzhao is not afraid, but if it makes trouble in the British Mansion, it will really not end well. The British family has paid too much for his old Zhu family, to be precise, for his Zhu Houzhao's direct ancestors.
The British Duke, like the Chengguo Duke, both originated during the martyrdom of Zhu Di. The difference is that Zhu Neng survived to the point of Jingjing, but Zhang Yu died helping Zhu Di escape from a defeated battle. Therefore, Zhang Yu was later named the first hero of Jingnan by Zhu Di, and was posthumously awarded the title of Duke Rongguo and King of Hejian.
Zhang Yu's son also competed, although Zhang Fuchu sent letters to Amber and Xinchenghou, but later replaced Zhu Neng, who died on the way, led tens of thousands of troops to quell the rebellion in Annam, and was named the general of Zhengyi and conquered the eastern and western capitals of Annam, that is, Hanoi and Thanh Hoa, Vietnam. Two years later, he defeated the army of Annam, captured Emperor Taishang of Annam, and two years later captured Emperor Taishang of the Kingdom of Da Viet (South Vietnam) Emperor Jianding. forced the emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, Chen Jikuo, to surrender. Subsequently, Zhu Di returned Annan to Cochin again. Since the division of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was once again incorporated into Chinese territory. Later, in the ninth year of Yongle, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng, the prince of Yunnan, joined forces to attack Chen Jikuo, who had resurrected the puppet surrender, and defeated the defenders in Yuechangjiang. In the twelfth year of Yongle, he captured Chen Jikuo, the emperor of Dayue Kingdom, and returned to the dynasty. In the thirteenth year of Yongle, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Jiaolu to quell the rebellion of Chen Ji's expansion of the rest of the army. He was recalled in the winter of the fourteenth year. Successively four to Jiaolu, prestige and distant earthquakes. It is comparable to Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo who opened up territory for the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty, Ma Yuan annexed Jiaozhi to Chinese territory for the first time, and Zhang Fu annexed Annan to Chinese territory for the last time.
Later, the emperor read that Zhang Fu worked hard and made high achievements, and he was in charge of the military capital and the affairs of the government, and entered the Taishi. He went to Shandong with Xuanzong to quell the rebellion of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han. The orthodox emperor succeeded to the throne, resisted the great eunuch Wang Zhen, and tried to prevent Yingzong from driving his own expedition to Wara, and finally died heroically and died in the Tumubao Change.
Zhang Yu's second son, Zhang Xuan, participated in the change of Xu Youzhen and others in the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), and successfully helped Yingzong, who had been under house arrest for seven years, to successfully restore the throne and was named Taiping Hou. Their old Zhang family can be said to have done a great good thing for Zhu Houzhao's lineage. It's not these people, I don't know who sits, so since Emperor Chengzu, the emperors of all dynasties have been very favored by Chengguo.
Now that he found out that Wang Meng was from the British family, Zhu Houzhao was really embarrassed to find trouble with the grandfather and father, who were all killed in battle, and whose son died early, and who only had two grandsons. Just like the female general of the Yang Gate, the whole family is loyal to the country, and you go to find the trouble of Yang Paifeng, the fire girl, it always sounds so unconfident. It's like bullying other people's orphans and widows.
Several people were discussing, Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, today for the sake of the old man's face, let go of that guy, the time has passed, and it will be time soon, there is still something at the son's house, go back." ”
The Eight Tigers were worried that they would make a fuss and get out of control, and when they heard Zhu Houzhao say this, they immediately rushed to coax Zhu Houzhao excitedly, praising him for his big belly and the appearance of a benevolent gentleman. At the same time, he despised the king fiercely, picked up some good words, and coaxed Zhu Houzhao's anger down.
Qian Ning saw that Zhu Houzhao had given up dealing with the so-called businessman, and he was glad in his heart, but he was also disappointed. Although he didn't have to face the people of the British government, he lost an important opportunity in front of the prince, and this opportunity was almost impossible to have again, this is a standard one-step opportunity to reach the sky! Qian Ning is a person who dares to gamble, as long as he has two percent certainty, he dares to work very hard, seeing that such a big opportunity is about to slip away, when he is thinking hard about how to get closer to the opportunity with the prince, he saw the side door of the British Mansion squeak, opened a hole, and more than a dozen family members came out of it, and several people looked carefully, the leader was not Wang Meng, but who was it, Zhu Houzhao saw that Wang Meng came out triumphantly, but he was not in a hurry to leave. said to Ma Yongcheng: "It's okay if he doesn't come out, but if he does, don't blame me for not being emotional." Ma Yongcheng, follow along, let's see where he goes! I can't clean him up in the Guogong Mansion, outside the Guogong Mansion, hehe, who knows who beat him! ”
As soon as Qian Ning heard this, he knew that the leader was Zhu Houzhao's enemy, and he was immediately overjoyed, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Son, you still have some ability to do things with people, and you can use the old housekeeper to work there, just leave the matter to me." ”
"You're a diligent man, but you take a few people to follow him closely, and if you have the chance, you can beat all the people around him down, and leave the leader for me. Ben Gongzi is true to his word, and said that he wants to compete with him again, that is definitely to be compared. Don't touch a single hair of him, hear it. Things are done, I'll let Ye Guansheng take care of you a thousand households when I go back. Zhu Hou glanced at the respectful Qian Ning in front of him, and felt that this person was quite diligent, and his courage was not small, so he immediately nodded approvingly, and then made a reservation for Qian Ning's promotion.
Ye Guan saw that Zhu Houzhao had said all the words, and he was extremely reluctant in his heart, so he could only nod at the moment, pinching his nose and helping this traitor to be promoted again. At the same time, he also has a more heart for Qian Ning, such a person who can speculate in the camp, if he doesn't use it well, it will be a great disaster, but if he uses it well, he is a standard vanguard. It's up to you how you use him.
"Yes, thank you Gongzi and Lord Ye for mentioning it, even if you are humble and have to repay the great kindness of the two!" Qian Ning heard Zhu Houzhao personally promise to help him be promoted to a thousand households after the matter was completed, and he was even more excited at the moment. What is the concept of being promoted from an ordinary lieutenant to a thousand households in one day?
It's like when you are a police officer in a police station, and suddenly your half-grown son (if it's a son) and the director of the national security bureau come to you and say that you can be promoted to the director of the national security bureau immediately.
Seeing that Qian Ning took off his official uniform at the moment, changed into a blue shirt and walked in the direction of Wang Meng with a few people, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly followed impatiently.
Wang Meng and the others walked along this alley until they came to a low house, which made people kick the door and walk in directly.
Seeing that Wang Meng and the others didn't go to the field just now, not only Zhu Houzhao, but even Ye Guan and the Eight Tigers were also puzzled. Looking at this Wang Meng, he doesn't look like a person who hasn't fought back after being beaten. Why didn't you run to get revenge, but ran to this broken house first?
"Childe, Lord Ye, there is a bit of effort on the humble position, wait for me to jump on the wall to see how the situation is." Qian Ning found an opportunity to show his face again, so he volunteered to spy on Wang Meng at the moment.
"Okay, my son really didn't see the wrong person." Zhu Houzhao sighed in admiration, feeling that he still had a bit of talent for discerning people, and immediately agreed to Qian Ning's proposal.
Qian Ning turned over and jumped onto the low courtyard wall with a harrier, but saw Wang Meng standing in the middle of the courtyard around the two people, one was an old woman, who seemed to be not young, trembling and leaning on her waist, unable to stand on a cane, and was supported by the person next to her. The other person was a twenty-eight year old woman, with a wooden hairpin on her head, and she was wearing a coarse linen dress, although the clothes were simple, but they still could not cover her delicate and moving face, but these old clothes added a bit of heroism to the woman.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" The old woman asked in a trembling voice on crutches.
Wang Meng stood opposite the two of them with his arms crossed, and said with a cruel smile: "Don't pretend to be uncle, old thing, I didn't expect you to really run from Datong to Jingshi, no wonder there sent a message that they dug up your son's grave, and I didn't see you show up." What's wrong? Do you want to beat the drum when you come to Beijing, or do you want to find the military department to complain? ”
"My son! You, you! When the old woman heard that Wang Meng had dug up her son's grave, she fainted with grief and anger.
"Grandma, how are you, grandma! You! You don't even spare the dead! What did you do to my dad? You demons! God won't let you go! When you die, you will go to the eighteen levels of hell! When the girl heard Wang Meng say this, tears immediately flowed down, waiting for her eyes, eager to eat Wang Meng in one bite.
"Haha, how's it going? Of course, it was to dig up the body for three days, and then burn it and then feed the ashes to the dogs. That's what happens against us! Of course I won't let go of the dead, and I won't let go of the living! Little lady, don't worry, when we're happy enough, the master will send you to see your father. When Wang Meng saw the appearance of the orphans and widows, he laughed out loud. At the same time, he motioned to the few people he brought to arrest these two people.
Qian Ning saw that the matter was big, and quickly jumped off the low wall, and then briefly told the matter, Zhu Houzhao heard this, and immediately became angry, pointed to the door and said: "What bullshit, come here, rush in for me, arrest everyone, live or die!" ”
