On the first day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in the eighth year of Xiande, Zhao Kuangyin, who had rarely appeared in the forbidden army garrison because he had been busy with the reduction of power by the imperial court and taking over the work of the palace front division left by Zhang Yongde, suddenly appeared in the camp of the right army of the "Shenji Army". He was accompanied by his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Pu, the chief strategist of the Zhao Group, who followed him as a staff member.

Zhao Kuangyin came to the camp of the right army of the "Shenji Army" this time, and on the surface, the name was naturally to inspect the training and construction of the right army of the "Shenji Army," but in fact, he came to discuss with Xu Xinsheng, the initiator of the "Shenji Army," who was already the commander of the right army of the "Shenji Army," the most pressing issue for the Zhao clique at present.

Zhao Kuangyin came to him to discuss Zhang Yongde's affairs, which was expected by Xu Xinsheng - after all, just listening to the reports of Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi, the two microphones, is always less direct than listening to the account of the person who put forward the suggestion in person. Therefore, in the face of Zhao Kuangyin's questions and consultations, Xu Xinsheng, who had been prepared, answered reasonably, and listened to the other party's nods and praises, especially Xu Xinsheng's view that he killed Zhang Yongde with the hands of the imperial court to avoid becoming the target of public criticism. The conversation between the two sides lasted for nearly an hour, and it was close to noon that Zhao Kuangyin took Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu to leave the camp of the right army of the "Shenji Army" and return to his mansion after declining Xu Xinsheng's kindness in setting up a banquet and hospitality. Although Zhao Kuangyin did not clearly state whether he would adopt Xu Xinsheng's suggestion when he left the camp of the right army of the "Shenji Army", in the latter's opinion, this Zhao boss had already killed Zhang Yongde at this time, and the relevant various overt and covert actions were only afraid that it was not far away.

Facts have proved that Xu Xinsheng's expectations were not bad, and the day after Zhao Kuangyin had a secret conversation with him, that is, since the second day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, there began to be rumors in the DPRK and China that Zhang Yongde was extremely resentful and resistant to taking office in Lanzhou, and the rumors of dissatisfaction and complaints against the court and officials along the way have not stopped. Moreover, there are rumors that along the way, there are officials who have not been to a court post station and heard Zhang Yongde scolding the important ministers of the court after being drunk, accusing them of taking advantage of the young and ignorant of the current emperor, and colluding with those female streamers of **, through the ridiculous so-called "Shi Jiewei" and pure nonsense folk nursery rhymes, depriving themselves of their military positions and driving them out of the capital. Even, after getting drunk at a banquet with his friends in the local area, he pointed to the direction of the capital and scolded: "Let Er wait for the rats to be free for a few days, and when a certain person has trained elite soldiers in Lanzhou, he will lead the army to the south, and for my Great Zhou Tianzi 'Qingjun side, punish the adultererous pigtail', and return the Great Zhou to a Lang Lang Qiankun and Qingping Shijie." ”

And when his friend reminded him to be cautious in his words and deeds, not to make mistakes, so as not to blame the court and the officials, this guy was even more crazy, claiming that he was the son-in-law of Taizu, the brother-in-law of the first emperor, the uncle of today's son, and the hero of the Great Zhou court.

Such rumors spread among the courtiers, and it was impossible for those auxiliary ministers and even the ** Empress Xiaofu not to hear it, let alone not be angry. In addition, Lin Xiaoyu, the concubine who would have said two good words for Zhang Yongde and reminded the Empress Dowager Xiaofu and the auxiliary ministers to pay attention to not letting Zhao Kuangyin's family be dominant and uncontrolled, at this time, due to the previous several exhortations, not only failed to get the attention of the Empress Dowager Xiaofu and the auxiliary ministers, but also caused a slight gap between him and the Empress Dowager Xiaofu, so he completely gave up trying his best to maintain the status quo of the Later Zhou court, and continued the imperial qi of the Chai family as much as possible, so as to ensure the illusion and efforts of his son's royal descendant. The request from the Beiping army began to fully support the imperial court's decision to issue an edict to reprimand Zhang Yongde.

Of course, considering that Zhang Yongde is also a relative of the emperor, he has made great achievements for the Great Zhou, and this time he is drunk and arrogant. Therefore, the Later Zhou court did not give him a substantive punishment in the end, but only issued an order to reprimand and admonish him a lesson. So, just five days after Zhang Yongde arrived in Lanzhou, his buttocks had not yet been heated on the chair of the Jiedu envoy, and on the fifth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in the eighth year of Xiande, the imperial court reprimanded him for his drunken immorality, wild words, disrespect for the king, and slander the minister's holy decree had arrived in the city of Lanzhou.

When people came to report that an official from the imperial court had arrived, Zhang Yongde's first reaction was that the imperial court knew that he had wronged and wronged himself, so he sent someone to reinstate his official and return to Beijing to take up his post. So, this guy hurriedly changed his clothes, put down the incense case, and knelt down hopefully to accept the order. What Cheng thought about was not the grace of the official's reinstatement, but the stern decree of reprimanding him for his inappropriate words and behaviors. If this holy decree of reprimand is still about "Shijie Wei" or folk nursery rhymes, Zhang Yongde can still reluctantly accept it, after all, this basin of dirty water has been splashed on himself, and it is irrelevant for the court and officials to nag two more sentences. But what was reprimanded in the holy decree was his so-called "inappropriate words" on the way to Lanzhou, and it was also because of the arrogant words and disrespectful words that he had never said, which made it really difficult for him to accept. So, as the court envoy who announced the decree counted him down more and more, the anger in Zhang Yongde's chest became more and more full, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly, if it weren't for the existence of a trace of reason in his mind, if it weren't for his son Zhang Huaisheng, his righteous son Zhang Fei and his nephew Zhang Neng kept quietly pulling the corners of his clothes behind him to signal him to calm down, if he didn't understand in his heart, even if he cut the messenger in front of him with a thousand knives, he would not change a word in the holy decree, but I was afraid that the hot-tempered Zhang Yongde would have jumped up a long time ago. Beat the messenger of the decree all over the ground and find his teeth, and then tear the holy decree full of truth to pieces. Rao is like this, when the imperial court envoy finished reading the holy decree, not only did he not wait for the bow of "thank the lord Longen" that should appear in theory, but was first startled by Zhang Yongde, who suddenly stood up in a daze, and then was snatched away by the other party.

Zhang Yongde snatched the holy decree and looked at it carefully, and found that its content was indeed the same as that read by the imperial envoy, so he raised his hand and threw the holy decree back to the imperial envoy, and then said stiffly to the other party who had been stunned by his actions: "Since leaving Beijing to take up his post, this Taiwei has been abiding by the rules and being cautious in his words and deeds along the way, and has never said or done the arrogant words and rude things accused in the holy decree, so he did not dare to accept the decree. I also ask the messenger to bring this decree back, and later Captain Ben will play the truth himself, and he will not make it difficult for you to do it. ”

Zhang Yongde's refusal to accept the decree, and to refuse to accept the decree in such a rude manner, is already a great crime of disrespect, and it stands to reason that this envoy who came to announce the decree on behalf of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court should immediately point out his mistake and reprimand and admonish him. It's just that in the face of Zhang Yongde's face that was already a little pale with anger, looking at the pupils who had become a little blood-red because of the surge of anger, where did the imperial envoy who was already stupid by Zhang Yongde's sudden stand up and take away the holy decree just now still have the courage to reprimand and admonish the other party, except for repeatedly saying to the other party that he had understood what the other party meant, and that he would definitely convey Zhang Taiwei's meaning to the court and the official family after returning to the capital, he had no other expression.

After sending away the envoy of the imperial court who was already hated to return to Kaifeng City immediately at this time, and wrote a letter to explain and complain about the problems accused in the holy decree, Zhang Yongde instructed his cronies to send this piece to the imperial front of the capital through the method of "wooden box secret music", and explained the reason why he did not accept the holy decree, and at the same time ordered someone to call his son, righteous son and clan nephew to his study to discuss important matters.
