Among the four sons of Xu, three died for Zhu Hongsan, and one died for the prince. This great achievement must not be forgotten. After Zhu Hongsan founded the country, he was awarded the reward for his merits. Xu was named the first-rank lady of the imperial edict and had a fief of 800 households.

Wu Chaocui had already become the foreman of Nanjing Arsenal at that time, and Xu also retired in Nanjing. However, Wu Chaocui didn't want to be a craftsman for the rest of her life, so she asked the prince to become an official. However, Wu Chaocui had no fame and honor. The prince finally found him an errand and asked him to work as a household house in Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan. Although he was only an eighth-rank official, the household house was equivalent to the later financial bureau and had a considerable power.

In this way, Wu Chaocui came to Kaifeng, Henan to work, and the old lady Xu followed her son to Henan. Originally, Xu thought that the world was peaceful and she could enjoy a few days of peace, but she didn't expect that her only son Wu Chaocui was beaten to death by the imperial envoy. Seeing that the people who were pursuing their retirement and sent their lives to work, Xu naturally couldn't give up and wore a full set of first-class imperial edict clothes given by the emperor to see the imperial envoy.

When Xu saw his godson Ding Changsheng coming out, he cursed at Ding Changsheng: "Okay, you guys, you are an official now. Do you stop talking when you see your brother being beaten to death?"

Ding Changsheng was originally a military household in Shaanxi and had no name. His parents called Gouzi casually. After joining the bandits, they were called Gouwazi. After surrendering to Zhu Hongsan as an official, they gave him a name for Changsheng. Now Ding Changsheng blushed when he heard Xu call him nickname, and knelt in front of Xu and said, "Mom, my son really doesn't know that the one who died is a brother!"

Xu did not come to see Ding Changsheng today, so he was not ready to argue with Ding Changsheng. He pointed at Ding Changsheng and asked, "Are you the gatekeeper of the imperial envoy? Okay, go and tell the imperial envoy, and you will say that you want to see him!"

Ding Changsheng was very embarrassed when he heard Xu's words. The imperial envoy represented the emperor. That could be the one you, an old lady, met at any time, but he could not refuse his godmother. Ding Changsheng was very embarrassed here.

Although Xu was over 80 years old, his eyes were not blurred. When he saw Ding Changsheng hesitating, he knew why he was willing. Xu sneered: "What? Isn't my old body qualified to meet the imperial envoy? Well, you take this in!"

After Xu said that, he took out his imperial seal from his body and handed it to Ding Changsheng. The imperial seal was a certificate of the wife of the imperial decree. The imperial seal was called the imperial seal for the officials. The imperial seal was called the imperial seal for the officials when they were great-grandparents, grandparents, parents and wives. The imperial seal of the imperial seal was printed on it in the Ming Dynasty. It was a formal national legal document archived by the Ministry of Rites in the Ming Dynasty.

This kind of thing is very expensive, basically the same as the iron coupon of the founding Ninth Duke of the founding country, but it was not treated as a few times of death. Xu took out this thing, not to mention an imperial envoy, even if the emperor himself came, he would meet Xu. After all, the contribution of his three sons for the sake of the country was too great.

When Ding Changsheng saw that Xu took out this, he had no choice but to take the imperial edict with both hands, and then bowed in to inform Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan was in the second hall and was checking the accounts. He had heard the noise outside the gate, but now because the account check had not made any progress, Zhu Yuan was very upset, so he ignored it.

At this time, Ding Changsheng outside held it

When the imperial seal came in, Zhu Yuan frowned and asked, "Captain Ding, what's the matter?"

Ding Changsheng raised Gao Feng high and said, "Prince, Wu Chaocui's mother, Xu, is here outside, and wants to see the imperial envoy!"

Zhu Yuan was angry when he heard this and cursed: "Ding Changsheng, do you think I am idle and bother me with all the shit?"

"Prince, but Xu is not simple. Look at this imperial title!" Ding Changsheng said that and sent the imperial title to Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan was stunned when he saw the cover of the imperial edict. He didn't expect that the eighth-rank Wu Chaocui's mother was so powerful. She was actually a first-rank edict. Zhu Yuan knew what this meant. His father had granted a total of twelve first-rank edicts, and each of them had great contributions. He either saved his father or made great contributions in life. He didn't expect that he could meet one here in Henan.

The status of a prince in the Ming Dynasty was very low. Although you were a prince, you might not even be able to catch up with a county magistrate. Zhu Yuan was so arrogant in Henan because he was completely benefiting from the imperial envoy.

When Zhu Yuan saw this imperial edict, he knew that he would not be able to go out. Zhu Yuan picked up the imperial edict and walked out the door, but when he walked to the door, Zhu Yuan stopped again.

It turned out that Zhu Yuan opened the imperial edict to watch. Xu was indeed very awesome. His three sons sacrificed their lives for the empire back then, and it was nothing. Zhu Yuan mainly saw that his third son died for the crown prince Zhu Hai. He was a little unhappy when he saw Zhu Yuan. He and the crown prince had completely had a quarrel. How could he accept the benefactor who went to see the crown prince now?

Zhu Yuan turned around and said to Ding Changsheng, "You go out and tell Xu, just say that I have something to do and don't have time to see him!"

As soon as Zhu Yuan said this, everyone in the room was stunned. The three censors Zhu Yuan brought knew the laws of the country. As the emperor's son and the prince's younger brother, you are not going to see the hero who died for your father and saved your brother. This is somewhat unreasonable.

A censor asked in a low voice: "King Yan, Xu's family has made great contributions to the country after all, so it's a bad thing if they don't go to see each other..."

It would be fine if the censor didn't say it. Zhu Yuan became even more angry when he heard that. Zhu Yuan said to Ding Changsheng: "Okay, I'm very busy, you go out!"

Although Ding Changsheng looked down on Zhu Yuan in his heart, Zhu Yuan was his immediate boss after all, so he had no choice but to turn around and go out.

Xu looked up at the door, thinking that as a heroic mother, her son died to save the prince, and the imperial envoy must come out to see him. But he knew that Ding Changsheng came out alone and did not follow anyone behind.

Ding Changsheng came to Xu and said in embarrassment: "Godmother, the imperial envoy said he was busy with things, so let you go back first!"

The outsiders standing beside Xu were talking. Not all of them came to the Wu family today, but some scholars in long gowns. These scholars are some young students in Kaifeng Prefecture School, and all scholars and children.

Kaifeng, Henan Province is located in Zhongzhou, and has always been awesome. There were dozens of Jinshi from Kaifeng in the Ming Dynasty, and the most famous of them was Shi Kefa. Although Zhu Hongsan knew that Shi Kefa was not a qualified bureaucrat, Shi Kefa should be vigorously promoted for the Ming Dynasty's death. Therefore, after the founding of the country, he established a statue of Shi Kefa in Kaifeng Prefecture School, which affirmed Shi Kefa's loyalty.

In this way, Shi Kefa became the young learners in the public schools

The son's idol and goal. In addition, the governor Wu Peichang and the prefect Xue Tian instigated behind the scenes, these young students with strong spirits came to the temporary office of the imperial envoy today to ask for an explanation, why did they kill Lord Wu for no reason?

Now seeing that the imperial envoy is so rude that he actually regards the imperial envoy granted by the emperor as nothing. These students can bear it and shout at Ding Changsheng to ask the imperial envoy to come out quickly.

Ding Changsheng saw that these students were so indignant, so he did not dare to delay and ran in and reported the matter to Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan was so angry that he heard someone blocking the door and scolding. He said to Ding Changsheng: "Go, call fifty Jinyiwei, stand at the door to watch, and don't allow anyone to come in!"

At this time, a censor next to him said: "Your Majesty, it is probably inappropriate to use the Jinyiwei. The factory guards have always had a bad reputation among the people, so using them may have a counterproductive effect."

Zhu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. Ding Changsheng, bring the fifty imperial guards with you, don't let those scholars rush in!"

Ding Changsheng also felt something was wrong, but Zhu Yuan was urging him tightly. Ding Changsheng had no choice but to go to the wing room to find fifty soldiers, and took muskets and went to the gate.

The gate has been opened now, and the young students blocked the door and cursed, "What the imperial envoy is a son of a man?" Xu died for your Zhu family. Now he couldn't meet you for a while. Are you still a human being? In the Ming Dynasty, freedom of speech was fine, and it was okay to curse the emperor in the street, let alone scolding you an imperial envoy. Of course, this kind of freedom is only for scholars, and others can't do it.

Ding Changsheng came to the gate and saw that the scholars were about to rush in. He quickly stood in two rows with his fifty men, raised his muskets and shouted: "What are you doing? Isn't you a crime of committing a death sentence when I attacked the Imperial Office? Why don't you retreat quickly? Should you shoot?"

Ding Changsheng said it was dangerous, but those scholars could listen to him. During the Chongzhen period, the burning of Ruan Dacheng's house in Nanjing was the first to take over by Hou Fangyu, a native of Henan, and the government finally ended up leaving the matter. You must know that Ruan Dacheng was almost burned to death back then. Now these scholars cannot keep these words in their hearts, and squeeze into the door even more crazily under the instigation of some people who are interested.

The yamen runners who blocked the door could not stand it. The door was open and the scholars rushed into the door. When Ding Changsheng saw this, he said in his heart that he was not good. He was about to order his subordinates to retreat to the second gate, but he knew that the gun was fired.

Now the fifty imperial guards are very nervous, and their fingers are basically placed on the trigger. Suddenly, they heard a gunshot and thought the command from the commander to shoot. For a moment, fifty people fired bullets from their guns one after another.

The new army's muskets were no longer accurate, but they still had lethality. However, they were less than twenty meters away from those scholars. At this distance, they basically meant wherever they were. As soon as the gunshot sounded, the scholars at the door were immediately knocked down more than twenty, and the rest were also standing in place, frightened by the gunshots.

Those scholars did not expect that these Qiu Bazhen dared to shoot. The time was frozen for more than ten seconds. At the beginning, the few people in front shouted and ran away, and the others also withdrew from the Kaifeng government office. Poor Wu Chaocui's mother, Xu, originally wanted to seek justice for her son, but she did not expect that she could not dodge and was pushed to the ground by the escaped scholars. She was even stepped on several steps by some people. She was in her eighties and could hold back the toss and died there after turning her eyes twice. (https:)
