Chapter 479: Shi Wensheng
"We must go to Dingshan now to stop that group of barbarians from harming Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb, and now immediately hand over the command of the Yaowu Army."
In front of the Yaowu Army garrison in the west of Jinling City, Mu Xiayan said coldly to Zheng Yu and Princess Chengping.
"It can't be! I, Yaowu Army, are one of the Eight Guards of the Dayu Dynasty, and your Zongzheng Temple has no right to ask us to surrender our command. β
Zheng Yu didn't think about it when he heard this, and directly rejected Mu Xiayan's request.
"Humph! It is because of Emperor Shengheng that these grassland barbarians will go south so smoothly, and now the grassland barbarians are actually frantically attacking the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu, if you don't hand over the command of the Yaowu Army now, and wait until the grassland army completely excavates the underground palace of the imperial tomb, then you, Zheng Yu, are the accomplices in this matter. β
Mu Xiayan didn't expect that it had already reached this time, and Zheng Yu would dare to refuse his request.
"Sizheng, don't think I'm so scared, our Yaowu Army was originally the royal guard, our mission is to defend Jinling City, even if Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb is dug up by the grassland people, it is also your Zongzheng Temple's guilt, what does it have to do with me."
Zheng Yu retorted coldly.
"Zheng Yu, are you going to stand by and watch?"
Old King Huainan looked at Zheng Yu with an angry face and asked.
"Old King Huainan, what you said is excessive, I am faithfully performing the duties of our Yaowu Army, not standing idly by."
Zheng Yu continued to argue.
"Chengping, is that what you mean?"
Seeing that Zheng Yu was so resolute, Mu Xiayan turned his head and asked Princess Chengping.
"Lord Sizheng, you just said that I am already a married daughter who spilled the water, how can I, an outsider, be qualified to order the Yaowu Army?"
Princess Chengping also replied with a smile on her face to Mu Xiayan's question.
In her opinion, although the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu was the mausoleum of their ancestors of the Mu family.
But after all, these royal ancestors are many generations away from themselves, and even some of them are not direct ancestors of their own lineage.
Therefore, it is impossible to think that a married princess like Princess Chengping has any feelings for those great Yu emperors in the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu.
"Humph! Sizheng you are going to ask such a slut is simply a superfluous move. β
At this time, an old man with a gray beard and trembling when he walked walked walked out, looked at Princess Chengping with disdain and said.
"What do you say, old thing? Believe it or not, I slaughtered you! β
Zheng Shaodong was immediately furious when he heard this.
He didn't expect that someone in Jinling City would dare to insult his mother like this.
"What are you, but you're just a mongrel, if it weren't for the protection of the Holy Heng Zongzheng Temple, he could have enforced the clan rules on your slut mother, as for a bastard like you, the final result would be just a glass of wine."
Although the old man seemed to be physically weak, he was full of anger when he scolded people.
"King Qi, I respect you as our elder, but if you are so foul-mouthed, I don't mind letting my father remove the feudal kingdom of your Qi country."
Princess Chengping was also annoyed by the old man's scolding.
Originally, Lao Qi Wang was not such a fiery temper, he had always shown himself as a gentle and kind elder.
But today, he was really angry by the news of the grassland army's attack on Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb.
And Zheng Yu and Princess Chengping's inaction in dealing with the attack on Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum, and even their attitude of watching from the sidelines, completely angered King Laoqi.
In his opinion, it is understandable that there are some contradictions and disputes between the imperial court and Zongzheng Temple.
After all, for the sake of rights, this is inevitable.
But there must be a premise for all this, and that is that they must not lose their identity as the descendants of the Muhammad family.
But what Princess Chengping is doing now is obviously to no longer admit that she is a descendant of the Mu family.
This kind of behavior of forgetting one's ancestors is no different from a beast in the eyes of King Lao Qi.
"Except for my fiefdom? Hahaha, my Qi country is the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao, and I was enshrined as the ancestor Wenzong and the first emperor, what reason do you have for a brute who does not recognize your ancestors to remove my Qi country? β
King Lao Qi laughed out loud at this time.
"Old horseman, I'll kill you!"
Zheng Shaodong saw that King Lao Qi insulted his mother again and again, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"The Tiger Ben camp is going to slaughter this old horseman."
Immediately, he turned his head with red eyes and ordered the soldiers of the Tiger Camp.
But when his words fell, none of the soldiers of the Tiger Camp acted.
"What are you waiting for not hearing me?"
Zheng Shaodong thought that these Tiger Camp soldiers had not heard his orders clearly, so he ordered loudly again.
However, the soldiers of the Tiger Camp at the scene still did not make any movement, and they still stood quietly in place.
However, at this time, they all focused their eyes on the middle-aged scribe standing in the Yaowu army.
And the middle-aged scribe also stood quietly in place, watching Zheng Shaodong roar hysterically.
"Shi Wensheng, what do you mean by this? Didn't you hear what Ben Gongzi said? β
The roaring Zheng Shaodong saw that the Tiger Camp still didn't make any moves, and he understood that these Tiger Camp soldiers must have been instructed by this middle-aged scribe.
So he rushed into the crowd and grabbed the middle-aged scribe named Shi Wensheng by the neck.
In this regard, Shi Wensheng's face did not change any expression.
He just looked at Zheng Shaodong coldly, and then said lightly.
"Spread your hands!"
Although Shi Wensheng's tone was very flat, there was no emotion in his eyes.
But Zheng Shaodong was still so frightened by Shi Wensheng that he subconsciously let go of his hand.
But then Zheng Shaodong realized that he was frightened by a powerless person, so he immediately became annoyed and angry.
"Shi Wensheng, what are you just a dog in front of my uncle, how dare you have a dog to talk to me like this!"
The angry Zheng Shaodong immediately shouted again.
At the same time, his hand stretched out again, wanting to continue to grab Shi Wensheng's neckline.
But before his hand could touch Shi Wensheng's clothes, a long sword was already on Zheng Shaodong's neck.
The cold touch immediately gave Zheng Shaodong goosebumps.
However, even though the long sword had reached his neck, Zheng Shaodong still held his neck and said loudly with an arrogant face.
"Shi Wensheng, you are so bold that you let people put a sword on my neck, if you have the ability today, you will kill me with a sword, otherwise I will definitely go to my uncle in front of you in the future!"
But the long sword of the tiger battalion soldier did not move away because of Zheng Shaodong's shout.
The Tiger Ben Battalion soldier even tightened the long sword in his hand again a few points in Zheng Shaodong's struggle.
Suddenly, Zheng Shaodong felt a tingling pain in his neck, and a trace of blood immediately flowed out of his neck.
"Shi Wensheng, you dog minion, you actually hurt my son!"
Princess Chengping saw that there was blood flowing out of Zheng Shaodong's neck, and she immediately rushed forward like a cat with its tail stepped on.
This time, the sword-wielding Tiger Battalion soldier did not dare to act rashly again.
With a "pop", the soldiers of the Tiger Camp were slapped by Princess Chengping and staggered.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, we are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people, not your minions, so once something threatens His Royal Highness the Prince's reputation, we will definitely not sit idly by."
Facing the shrew-like princess of Chengping, Shi Wensheng still spoke coldly.
Things are indeed as Shi Wensheng said, they are nominally led by Zheng Shaodong this time, but in fact, the command is still controlled by Shi Wensheng.
The reason why Zheng Shaodong was able to command the Tiger Camp and the Tiger and Leopard Camp at will was all instructed by Shi Wensheng.
But later, due to Zheng Shaodong's indiscriminate command, Hu Si of the Tiger Ben Battalion and his entire team were killed.
This is a big loss for the entire Tiger Camp.
At that time, Shi Wensheng was already very dissatisfied with this.
After all, if Tiger Four and they died because of their mission, it would be reasonable.
However, Hu Si and the other Tiger Camp soldiers were completely because of Zheng Shaodong's personal reasons, which made it really difficult to end.
And now Zheng Shaodong and Princess Chengping have secretly made decisions on the matter of Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum to obstruct the Yaowu army from going to snipe the grassland army, which puts their own private interests above the interests of the entire Dayu Dynasty.
This is also unacceptable to the crown prince.
Although it is said that the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu does not have any practical value.
But after all, it is the imperial tomb of several emperors of the Dayu Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the face of the entire Dayu Dynasty.
The capture of the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu by the grassland army is equivalent to a few heavy slaps in the face of the Great Yu Dynasty.
And as the crown prince, as the prince of the Dayu Dynasty, the future Dayu Emperor would never be able to endure such humiliation.
Even if these grassland armies were instructed by Emperor Shengheng to go south, they would not be able to.
As the son of Emperor Shengheng, the crown prince has the obligation and right to make up for his father's mistakes.
Although this is likely to lead to the abolition of his crown prince by Emperor Shengheng, the crown prince must do the same.
"Humph! The prince's brother's order is to obey my and Zheng Yu's orders, and you dare to disobey his orders! β
Princess Chengping directly picked up the long sword dropped by the Tiger Camp soldier from the ground, and then pointed directly at Shi Wensheng.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, is it necessary for you to force me to tell the real orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Shi Wensheng looked at the hideous-looking Princess Chengping and couldn't help but sneer and asked.
"Brother Prince's real order?"
Princess Chengping couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
As the prince's half-sister, she also knows her brother very well.
The personalities of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Emperor Shengheng are very similar, they are both extremely cold-hearted people.
And both of them are also thoughtful people, if you want to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave Shi Wensheng other orders in private, Princess Chengping still believes it.
But when Chengping Gongzi saw Shi Wensheng's disdainful look, her anger couldn't stop burning.
Just when she wanted to continue to entangle, Zheng Yu grabbed Princess Chengping from behind.
"Don't make a fuss, we are all people in the same boat, and making a fuss like this in front of outsiders will damage the face of you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zheng Yu whispered in the ear of Princess Chengping.
As soon as these words came out, Princess Chengping couldn't help but squint her eyes, and then she forcibly suppressed her anger.
"Okay, Shi Wensheng, I will only tell the prince's brother about this matter in the future."
After Princess Chengping said a cruel word, she hatefully threw away the long sword in her hand.
"Mother, let's spare Shi Wensheng, this old dog?"
Zheng Shaodong covered his hot neck and said with a dissatisfied expression.
"Shut up for me, where is your share here!"
Before Princess Chengping could speak, Zheng Yu glared at her eyes and scolded angrily.
Now Zheng Yu has seen from Shi Wensheng's attitude that their tiger camp is dissatisfied with the grassland army's capture of Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb.
Moreover, he also thought about it carefully just now, and felt that no matter how crazy Emperor Shengheng was, it was impossible for him to let this group of grassland barbarians dig his family's ancestral grave.
Therefore, it can be deduced from this that these grassland barbarians attacking the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu must have been a decision made by them without authorization.
In this way, their original plan to assist the grassland army in attacking Jinling City will inevitably be nullified.
And just now, he and Princess Chengping even wanted to continue to prevent Zongzheng Temple from going to Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb to attack the grassland army, which was obviously an extremely idiotic decision.
It was precisely because of this decision that Shi Wensheng and the others suddenly refused to carry out their orders, and even did not hesitate to threaten Zheng Shaodong with their swords.
Although Zheng Yu is a military general who is not reused by the imperial court, this does not mean that he has no brains.
On the contrary, Zheng Yu is an extremely smart guy, and he knows how to judge the situation very well.
Therefore, after he understood that he and Princess Chengping were on the opposite side of everyone just now, he immediately decided to change his ways.
"But father, this Shi Wensheng is just a dog in front of his uncle, and it is really lawless that he dares to bark in front of us now."
Zheng Shaodong's radical personality was stimulated at once.
He is now like a mad dog that has bitten his opponent and won't let go.
A crisp sound of "pop" immediately came from Zheng Shaodong's cheeks.
"You idiot, Lord Shi is also a dignified six-rank general anyway, and he is also a confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, you have no official status and can be insulted."
Zheng Yu was completely angry with his son.
He had always thought that his son was much better than the other gentlemen.
But now he found out that his son had unconsciously developed that arrogant and arrogant temperament due to Princess Chengping and his own doting.
It doesn't matter if he's just arrogant, after all, that young man can't be young and frivolous.
But the biggest headache for Zheng Yu is that his son has no vision except for arrogance.
This is simply fatal for a young man.
Because this is likely to make him offend people who can't be offended at a critical time, just like he offended Shi Wensheng.
Although this Shi Wensheng seems to be just a six-rank military attachΓ©, he is actually the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who will be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
Such a person, let alone him, Zheng Shaodong, and even Princess Chengping should be respected.
Because maybe when the crown prince ascends the throne, he can rise to prominence, and then he can kill them with a word.
"Master Shi is a young man who is not sensible, please don't worry about him!"
After reprimanding Zheng Shaodong, Zheng Yu immediately clasped his fists and saluted Shi Wensheng to apologize.
"It doesn't matter, he is the nephew of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after all!"
Shi Wensheng waved his hand and said, as if he didn't want to deal with Zheng Shaodong from the beginning.
But Zheng Yu, who is a human spirit, immediately heard the sound outside the strings.
In fact, the meaning of Shi Wensheng's words can also be understood as: If Zheng Shaodong is not the nephew of His Royal Highness the Prince, he is afraid that it will be difficult to live today.
