Chapter 577: The Invisible Noose (3)

With a crisp sound, the weapon fell on the gold bricks on the ground, and the weapon was bounced up, and the owner of the weapon exerted too much force, let out an exclamation, and the weapon in his hand was also taken off. Yang Chengzu only saw at this time that it was a short-handled golden melon, if he hid more slowly, he was afraid that he would really have to beat his brain out.

"How dare you hide?" Zhang Heling didn't expect that he would miss a blow, and angrily raised his foot and kicked at Yang Chengzu, this time Yang Chengzu didn't dodge, let him kick it squarely. Then Zhang Heling felt as if he had kicked a wall, and his ankle hurt greatly, so he screamed and fell backwards.

Zhang Yanling shouted: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" In broad daylight, a small brocade guard actually dared to insult the royal family, is there still a queen mother in this eye? Someone! ”

"Someone, what are you going to do?" A crisp voice sounded at the head of the door, and someone strode in from the outside and ordered Yang Chengzu: "Yang Qing is flat, sit down." If you have something to say, you sit down and say, there is no need to kneel. ”

Just listening to the voice, it was Emperor Jiajing, Yang Chengzu took the opportunity to stand up, Zhang Zuo had already led a few little eunuchs to come in, and prepared an embroidered dragon pier for Yang Chengzu. Zhang's Kunzhong calculated that the emperor at this time should still be listening to the training at Renshou Palace, and it was impossible to come over, so he was unscrupulous. I didn't expect Jiajing to come back so early, move weapons in the Golden Palace, and be seen by the emperor again, quite embarrassed by being caught, his face was red, and his words were not too neat.

In any case, in the Forbidden City, the nominal supreme leader is still the emperor, and when they order the arrest of people, they are inevitably suspected of overstepping their bounds. Not to mention bringing weapons into the Forbidden City, which is even more taboo. Da Ming is very strict with his relatives, and they only rely on the authority of their sister to be more presumptuous. If the emperor is really angry, it will not be easy to explain this matter today.

Emperor Jiajing didn't make a move on the surface, but still saluted according to the rules of the younger generations seeing the elders, and the Zhang brothers took the lead in giving advice according to the specifications of the ministers. After sitting down, Jiajing didn't seem to find the golden gourd hammer on the ground, but talked enthusiastically with Zhang Jiakunzhong.

He practiced his official language well, there was no obstacle to communicating with people, and his attitude was sincere, as if he was really the nephew of the two, chatting with his uncle.

But when Brother Zhang sat here, it was inevitable that he would be a little unnatural, and if he asked about the reason for the conflict between himself and Yang Chengzu, he really couldn't open his mouth. After barely staying for a while, Zhang Yanling said: "Long live, the minister still has to go to Renshou Palace to visit my sister, I want to take leave in front of you, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

"Marquis Jianchang doesn't have to be polite, My Lady just went to say hello, and she always asked about your situation. It is also natural to go over and say a few words to Our Lady. Zhang Zuo, leading the way in front of his head, and when he left, he took a pair of jade chess pieces and a guqin for the two Chitose, which was my reward. ”

The two of them followed Zhang Zuo behind him and walked outside the hall with relief, seeing that the two were about to leave the hall, Jiajing suddenly said: "Two Aiqing, there are many guards in my Forbidden City, and there is no problem with safety. The next time you enter the palace to see the Virgin, as long as you come by your own people, you don't have to bring self-defense equipment such as gourd hammers, if you are seen, you still have any intentions, but it is troublesome. ”

Zhang Heling seems to be not very neat under his feet, and if it weren't for a few eunuchs to support him, he would have fallen to the ground. The two didn't even have the courage to turn around and plead, but quickened their pace and escaped from the Chengtian Hall with a few eunuchs.

Looking at the disappearing back, Zhu Houxi snorted, "What a bold man, he dared to bring a military blade when he entered the palace, and he really didn't take me, a young man, in his eyes." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, these are two rammed goods, and they are not difficult to deal with. If you are a smart person, you will not bring any weapons into the palace, and even if you want to kill Weichen, you will not be stupid enough to do it yourself. ”

"Don't worry, big brother, with me, no one can hurt a single hair of you. If their hammer really hurts you, within three days, I want their Zhang family to die, and no one will be left. This matter will not be counted like this, and tomorrow, I will tell Yang Tinghe about them bringing the golden gourd into the palace, and let Yang Xindu teach them a lesson, and ensure that these two people will not be able to survive or die, and enjoy the taste of being cleaned up by Yang Shoufu. ”

"Long live the wise, the five bodies that are admired by the ministers are thrown to the ground, this hand is considered to be a match, and they don't need to spend any effort themselves, they want them to eat dogs and fight together. Just pay attention, you must be skilled in the complaint, don't let the Queen Mother know that you sued, so as not to be angry with her. ”

"Big brother, don't praise me, isn't all this little thing I know taught by my eldest brother? Yang Tinghe and those Hanlin are all great talents and literati who are full of wealth and reading poetry and books. But what they taught me was not much different from what Wang Fu Jishan taught. It's just to be a gentleman, to be a wise gentleman, and preferably to be a saint. If it weren't for the teaching of my eldest brother in Anlu, I don't know when I would have learned to be an emperor. ”

Zhu Houxi sat opposite Yang Chengzu as he spoke, and several palace people sent fragrant tea and fruits, and then closed the palace door. took the confiscated list handed over by Yang Chengzu, as well as the account book, and only flipped a few pages, and the expression on the emperor's face changed slightly.

"Yang Tinghe, Mao Cheng, Qiao Yu, Mao Ji...... My subordinates really have a group of good ministers who cooperate sincerely, and even the benefits of receiving the Ning Domain are so consistent. According to the above records, the Wenchen generals under Wuzong, except for a few first and second sons, basically accepted the benefits of King Ning, and also covered up lawlessness for him, and even colluded inside and outside to covet artifacts! Damn it! They should all be killed! ”

"But after killing them all, who will do the work?" Yang Chengzu was very calm, "Besides, there are still those clan heroes in this matter, if they kill someone, they will definitely think that they are coming for them, in case the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, maybe there will be some new chaos." Now that Banzai has just ascended the throne, his strength is not strong enough, and it is not a good time for them to turn their faces. ”

Zhu Houxi grabbed an apple and bit it down hard, the juice of the bite flowed sideways, and there was no grace at all. "What the eldest brother said is that now I am short of people. Yang Tinghe dismissed the four foreign armies, abolished the east and west official halls, and re-established three battalions. The troops left behind by Zhengde were all dismissed to the border, and I had neither available ministers nor available soldiers, so I had to be a puppet in their hands. But now that I have such a large sum of money, and my eldest brother is in charge of the tax supervisor for me, and these letters are there, I want to see if this world listens to me or Yang Tinghe! ”
