The King of Han once told Steward Wang that apart from His Majesty the Emperor and the Prince and Grandson, he had the highest status in the capital. As long as he recognized these people outside, he would not be afraid of anyone else.
Of course, the King of Han forgot to tell him that the Fifth Young Master, who had recently appeared as a prince, should not offend him.
Zheng He brought his soldiers to the restaurant. At this time, the importance of his soldiers was shown. If there were no soldiers, how would Zheng He be able to control the situation by himself? In a real fight, who would help when others risk their lives to fight you?
you.
Zheng He's group of soldiers were all elite, and their aura was not comparable to that of the ruffians brought by Steward Wang.
Butler Wang does not have the authority to mobilize the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. What he has brought here are just ruffians raised outside, relying on the reputation of the Han Dynasty to dominate and prosper.
The point of fighting in hand-to-hand combat is to see who is stronger. When the regular army on the other side sees it, it immediately wilts, but Butler Wang is naturally confident because he has the King of Han behind him.
"Master Zheng."
Butler Wang said hello, but who would have thought that Zheng He didn't even look at him and ran straight to Zhu Zhanyang.
"Fifth Young Master, are you okay?"
Just this performance made Butler Wang's heart feel cold.
Zhu Zhanchen waved his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. I'm fine. I just had a knife put to my neck."
Zheng He was furious when he heard this. Even if Zhu Zhanyi was the emperor's grandson, he still had to protect Zhu Zhanyi because of his important position in the invention of the steam engine.
"Get them all for me and send them to the government."
"Yes." Zheng He's soldiers all drew their swords, and Butler Wang immediately said: "Hold on, Mr. Zheng, we are from the Han Dynasty. You have no right to arrest us. Do you think you are a popular person in front of His Majesty?"
Dare you use weapons in the imperial city?"
As a eunuch, Zheng He stayed with the emperor all year round before he went to the Western Seas. With his little tricks in words, people like Butler Wang were like a second-rate thing in front of him.
"I, Zheng He, have used swords in the imperial city today to apologize to His Majesty. Butler Wang, you can rest assured, but you are really courageous if you dare to place a knife on the emperor's grandson's neck."
"The Emperor...the Emperor's grandson." Steward Wang's heart was completely cold.
Butler Wang's men scattered like birds and beasts. This was not something they could offend. A few of them ran away quickly, but the rest were all captured.
"Master Zheng, the owner of this restaurant has also been arrested. He was charged with using a royal ship for personal use."
As soon as this accusation came out, Butler Wang felt like crying.
The matter was over in a flash. When you are much stronger than others, there is no need to say anything.
After they were taken away, Zhu Zhanzhen whispered to Zheng He: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zheng, for today's affairs."
"Young Master, you're welcome."
"Master Zheng, please don't tell His Majesty what happened today. Just send someone to inform my second uncle."
Zheng He frowned slightly, and Zhu Zhanzhen continued: "Master Zheng, whether my second uncle or the emperor's grandfather asks about something, I have to answer it. You just helped me out."
"Understood."
If other emperors and grandsons said this, he would still report to His Majesty. After all, both parties involved in the matter were from the royal family. If he didn't report, His Majesty would blame him and he would not be able to escape the relationship. However, he had an inexplicable trust in Zhu Zhanzhen.
His actions sometimes seem to have no rules, but in fact they all have a purpose.
On the way back, Chu'er was a little scared. When Butler Wang put the knife on Zhu Zhanchen's neck, she was frightened. If anything happened to Zhu Zhanxi, they would definitely be buried with him. It was too dangerous outside.
"Sir, don't eat out anymore."
"What? Are you scared by this little thing?" Zhu Zhanzhen smiled.
"Sir, please stop making fun of me, Chu'er is timid." Chu'er blushed in embarrassment.
Zhu Zhanzhen sighed and said: "It's better to be timid and cautious. I really didn't expect that someone in the imperial city would dare to put a knife on other people's necks and threaten them. The world is bright and the Ming Dynasty is long.
, this is still the capital at noon."
The laws in ancient times were not perfect and information transmission was slow. Even if Zhu Zhanzhen died in a restaurant today, if he were not the grandson of the emperor, he would not be able to cause any trouble.
No wonder Mr. Lu Xun said that if you look at history, everything written on it is cannibalism.
Zheng He sent someone to inform the King of Han about what happened at noon. The King of Han was furious when he learned that his steward had been arrested, but he calmed down after hearing what had happened today.
"My nephew is quite a playboy." The King of Han shook his head and smiled bitterly, but in his heart he admired Zhu Zhanyang even more. He glanced at his two sons and lamented, why Zhanyang is not his son.
When Zhu Gaoxu was lamenting, the eunuch from the palace came to the door: "Prince Han, the prince invites you to have a talk in the East Palace."
"It came quite quickly. You can leave first. I'll be there in a moment."
Princess Han also knew what happened today and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not a good idea for the prince to summon you. After all, our housekeeper put a knife on the emperor's grandson's neck."
"My eldest brother is the most hypocritical. It's not a big problem if he isn't summoned by His Majesty. I guess it's my eldest brother who is pretending to beg for mercy in front of my father." The King of Han didn't take it to heart. He had done far more extreme things than this.
Zhan Chen was not injured and nothing happened. The worst he could do was to get scolded.
"It doesn't matter, I will go into the palace to see my eldest brother."
Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and came back: "Princess, go to the accounting room and get me 2,000 taels of treasure banknotes."
"What does the prince want money for?"
"I always have a hunch that I will lose money and avoid disaster today."
"Can the prince still ask you for money?"
"The prince doesn't want it. His money-grubbing boy has a very dark heart. Forget it, I don't want the money. I'll bring some golden beans."
Zhu Gaoxu grabbed a handful of golden beans and put some back when he thought they were inappropriate, then put them in a bag and took them into the palace.
In the study room of the East Palace, Zhu Gaojiu saw Zhu Gaochi with a dark face as soon as he entered the door. He knew his elder brother's temper very well and usually did not get angry unless he couldn't help it.
Zhu Gaoxu then pretended not to know anything: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is a thousand years old..."
"Stop bowing, you are making such nonsense. Do you know what I want from you today?"
"Perhaps the prince misses his younger brother."
"Go, go." Zhu Gaochi said angrily. Now it seems that Zhu Zhanchang's character is more like his second uncle. Zhu Gaochi's helpless look when facing Zhu Gaoxu was exactly the same as when Zhu Gaoxu was frustrated by Zhu Zhanchang.
"Today Zhan Zhen was dining in a restaurant outside. He met a group of people and got into an argument. In public, the other party put a knife on Zhan Zhan's neck. This is the capital, so it was a bit too arrogant."
Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked furious: "Who is actually committing murder in the street? Brother, is Zhan Chen okay? Are there any injuries?"
This look of a good uncle is really touching.
"Zhan Yi was a little frightened. The child is timid and doesn't dare to go out now."
Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes inwardly and cursed: "Your son is timid, so don't make up lies."
But on the surface, he said: "I will lead my troops to bulldoze anyone who is not smart."
Zhu Gaochi saw that Zhu Gaoxu was just looking out for others, and said, "That man claims to be the steward of the Prince of Han's house."
"What?" Zhu Gaoxu scowled angrily, like a vicious Shura: "Someone dares to do evil in the name of my Han Dynasty. Don't worry, brother, I will bring his head to Zhan Yi tomorrow to make amends."
"The person has been arrested by the government."
"Trial, interrogate harshly, brother, don't save face for me. This kind of treacherous servant is ruining my reputation outside and trying me to death. If you don't trust me, I will go in person and give him some military service."
means."
Zhu Gaochi saw that Zhu Gaoxu didn't even have a word to argue, so he threw Butler Wang out and picked him clean. He also expected this result.
"Of course I believe that the second brother has nothing to do with this matter. It was Butler Wang and the owner of the restaurant who said in the quarrel with Zhan Zhen that they could actually use the royal ships to transport seafood by water for their own personal use. I don't know what the second brother could do.
Know this."
Zhu Gaoxu was shocked. This matter was more serious. If the emperor knew that he wanted to conduct an in-depth investigation, it would be in trouble. His royal ships were used for personal use, and they transported more than just seafood.
