Chapter 119: Blocking the road and shouting grievances
A woman in Tsing Yi knelt in front of the procession, holding up a white cloth with both hands, on which was written a shocking dark red character - "冤" - "injustice", presumably written in blood.
Zhu Youcheng was far away from the woman, and he couldn't see her face clearly, so he could only judge from her clothes and voice that it was a woman.
The official who opened the road shouted: "Wu Na woman, this is the parade of champions and officials given by the emperor, not an official travel, you have looked at the wrong time and found the wrong place to shout injustice." ”
The woman raised her eyes to look at the honor guard behind her, and snorted coldly: "I don't read much, don't lie to me." The champion is at most a six-rank official, and he goes out to knock on four gongs. This adult went out to knock on five and a half gongs, obviously from the fourth rank of high-ranking officials, how could he be the champion? And the guard of honor at the back clearly says that the Daming Military Academy is the secretary, I heard that the Guozijian is from the fourth grade, this Daming Military Academy is probably similar to the Guozijian, and the division there should also be from the fourth grade. ”
The official parade is a happy event celebrated by the whole world, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials were inconvenient to ask the soldiers to take the woman away, so they patiently explained: "The champion of the undergraduate is Zhu Youcheng, who is a person with an official position to participate in the scientific examination, so the emperor's grace rose by half a level in his original official position, becoming the first champion of the four official titles in the history of the Ming Dynasty." This official is the head of the Ministry of Officials, and he is ordered to open the way for the champion, and he will not lie to you. ”
"Zhu Cheng, is it the Zhu Cheng from the Children's Paradise?" The woman didn't hear the words of the head of the ministry clearly, and asked suspiciously.
"Yo ho, I'm quite knowledgeable, it's that Zhu Cheng. However, Lord Zhu was given his name by the emperor, and now his name has been changed to Zhu Youcheng. ”
"Then I'll find Lord Zhu Youcheng Zhu to redress my grievances, he deceived me, and now it's time to repay the debt."
As soon as these words came out, countless stars immediately appeared in the eyes of the people on both sides, this is a big gossip, you have to listen carefully.
It's a pity that when the head of the ministry heard the woman's words, he knew that it was a matter of honor and honor, so it was inconvenient to ask publicly on the street, so he made a silent gesture and said, "You wait a minute, I'll go to the back and ask Lord Zhu." ”
The people didn't hear the inside story and immediately began to make up for it.
"Did you hear that? Champion Lang began to give up, and now the woman has come to the door. ”
"Yes, I heard that the woman's belly is big."
"I saw that the woman's belly was the size of a watermelon."
"Nonsense, the woman's belly is flat, but she is holding a little doll who is drinking milk."
"It's not just one, and it's holding a five or six-year-old child."
The rumors are getting more and more mysterious.
But there are also smart people: "Zhuang Yuanlang is fourteen this year, and his hair has not yet grown, so whether he can do that is still a matter of words, how can he have a child, and he is still five or six years old." If Zhuang Yuanlang really has a child, then it is a demon. I saw that the woman was ordinary, and it seemed that she was a child daughter-in-law. ”
"Yes, yes, Zhuang Yuanlang is now famous, and he looks down on his wife who is mediocre and much older than himself."
"Did you hear that? Daming has a Chen Shimei. Who? Of course, it's the champion. Now my wife has come to the door. ”
The spread of rumors is far from the spread of the truth, and the name of the Ming Dynasty has not yet been familiar to the people of Beijing, but he has abandoned it from the beginning to the end, and the reputation of abandoning his wife has spread all over Beijing.
Zhu Youcheng listened to the discussion of the people beside the road, his face was red with shame, and he couldn't help but roar: "I don't know that crazy woman at all, I was wronged." ”
It's a pity that he can't shout, and when he shouts, he seems to be a thief, so he has to comfort himself in his heart, and the rumors stop at the wise - but where in the capital is everyone a wise man?
The head of the ministry ran over panting, and said, "Lord Zhu, there is an old man blocking the road ahead, do you say you want to see it or not." ”
"See, I want to see if anyone dares to ruin the reputation of this official."
The guard of honor in front of them was divided on both sides, and Zhu Youcheng hit the horse forward - retreating and avoiding when he encountered difficulties, it was not the character of the old Zhu family, facing difficulties and showing his true character as a man.
Zhu Youcheng walked up to the woman and said, "This girl, may I ask who you are and why did you stop the official's honor guard?" ”
When the woman looked up, she saw that her eyebrows were thick and her eyes were round, her nose was high, her lips were thick, her face was slightly pale, and she looked particularly haggard.
"Zhu Gongzi doesn't know the slave family?"
Zhu Youcheng felt that this woman was a little kind, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her, so he shook his head and said, "Does this official know you?" ”
"Folk girl Xionghu."
"I don't know. However, this official advises you to go to the yamen if you are wronged, and blocking other people's roads at will on the road will only bring trouble to yourself. ”
After speaking, Zhu Youcheng turned the horse's head and prepared to go back.
Xiong Hu stood up and said loudly: "Zhu Youcheng, you are treacherous, you have broken your word and become fat!" ”
Zhu Youcheng turned the horse's head, and the halberd finger shouted sharply: "Girl, I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future, why should I talk in broad daylight and destroy the reputation of this official." ”
After speaking, Zhu Youcheng's eyes shot out two murderous aura, and the people next to him were swept by the afterglow of Zhu Youcheng's eyes, and they were so frightened that they took two steps back.
Xiong Hu was not afraid, and said loudly: "My lord, I remember that you once hosted my father Xiong Tingbi at a banquet in the first year of the Apocalypse, and said that you would lend a helping hand to my father when he was in danger to keep him safe. But now my father is in prison, and he is about to be killed, but you don't care, and you don't care, it's not a broken promise. ”
Zhu Youcheng had long known that Xiong Tingbi was arrested and imprisoned because of the loss of a large area of land in Liaodong, and inadvertently foiled Jiannu's conspiracy to bribe the important ministers of the court and put Xiong Tingbi to death, but he didn't want to fish Xiong Tingbi out, because Xiong Tingbi promised him nothing.
Let him retreat a few miles less, and he retreated hundreds of miles in a row, retreating to Shanhaiguan; Zhu Youcheng sent people to receive Liaodong refugees outside Beijing, but did not receive a batch of people who returned to the Guan, only scattered people who secretly entered the Guan.
Zhu Youcheng sneered and said, "Yes, I did promise Xiong Tingbi to protect him." However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, when Xiong Tingbi is defeated, he should retreat a few miles as little as possible, and as a result, he will retreat a few hundred miles and give up millions of square miles of land outside the Daming Pass to Yu Jiannu. I want Xiong Tingbi to try his best to protect the people, but what is the truth? Two million Han people in Liaodong died tragically at the hands of Jiannu. Now there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles outside the gate, and there is no one for hundreds of miles, this is the credit of your father, Lord Xiong Tingbi Xiong of Liaodong Jingluo! ”
When the people next to him heard Zhu Youcheng's righteous and stern words, they all nodded their heads and looked at Xiong Hu with disdain.
Xiong Hu was stunned, and said in anticipation: "This ...... There's a reason for that......"
Seeing that Xiong Hu was spitting and spitting, knowing that the details inside were not enough for outsiders, he said it publicly in this place where there were many people, which would damage the face of the Ming court, so he pulled Zhu Youcheng's sleeve and said: "Champion Yuangong, don't ask here, I'll let the soldiers take her away." ”
Zhu Youcheng nodded and said to Xiong Hu: "This matter will be talked about after my parade is over, you go to the children's park to wait first." If there is really an inside story, Prince Xin and I will definitely seek justice for your father. ”
Xiong Hu followed the guards away, and the head of the ministry whispered to Zhu Youcheng: "Lord Zhu, Xiong Tingbi's matter involves too much, and no one in the capital dares to take care of it. Although the saint is here, don't cause this big trouble. ”
Zhu Youcheng knew that he had good intentions, smiled at him, and said: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." After Xiong Tingbi, there was no one to defend Liaodong. If you save Xiong Tingbi, leave a good general for the Ming Dynasty, and keep the northeast border peaceful for ten years, what if it is troublesome? ”
The head of the ministry arched his hand and said: "Zhuang Yuanlang cares about the world, no wonder he was placed on high hopes by the saint in the year of the dancing spoon and became the teacher of a hundred officials." ”
"Therefore, I must not live up to the grace of God, and I must work hard for the prosperity and strength of the Ming Dynasty."
After speaking, Zhu Youcheng turned his horse's head and walked to the middle of the parade, singing "Loyal to the Country" while riding.
"The wolf smoke rises, and the country looks north to the ,......"
Zhu Youcheng is in the period of voice change, and his voice is hoarse, adding a bit of vicissitudes and majesty to this song.
Zhu Youcheng felt that this song was majestic and agitated and could boost morale, so he set it as the military song of Jingxi Huangzhuang Jinyiwei, which was not only sung in the barracks, but also as a reserved program for children's theaters - of course, the China behind the lyrics was changed to the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the people in the capital have also learned this song, and when they heard Zhu Youcheng sing this song, they couldn't help but echo softly.
Zhu Youcheng returned to the middle of the procession, and the stopped procession slowly moved forward.
At this time, the drum band forgot to beat the gongs and drums, and everyone sang "Jing Zhong Serving the Country" in unison, and the people of the capital also sang along, and the agitated singing sounded to curb the clouds.
All the way, it is all the way to sing.
Everyone looked at the young man on the horse, as if they saw a white-robed young general about to lead his troops out and lead Daming from one victory to another.
