Just when Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong and the ministers were feeling bored, the burly man jumped into the middle of the open space, saluted Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong from a distance, then walked up to Zhang Huahan and said, "I am Daucheng. Li Jingang, Zhang Huahan, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword, take a punch from me." As soon as he finished speaking, he punched Zhang Huahan with a whistling wind. Zhang Huahan knew that Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong and the ministers wanted to see something exciting. After all, both battles were exciting. If it was over in a blink of an eye, everyone would be bored, and now he had to please the emperor in order to have a future, so he dodged left and right, dodged around to avoid Li Jinjiang's heavy punch, and Li Jinjiang's heavy punch carried a breath. There was a whirring sound and rapid strikes. Although it was not as fancy as a fighting show, it was still exciting.
Li Jingang fought for a long time, and the sun was setting in the west. It was dusk. He saw that Zhang Huahan was still in danger and just dodged his fist that could break stones. And every time, he understood that Zhang Huahan was stronger than him. He knew that Wu Tieli's kung fu was on par with his own, and he was knocked down in an instant. It was definitely impossible for him to fight with the opponent's real strength for such a long time.
Such heavy punches require both physical and internal strength. Li Jingang's internal strength has long been exhausted. Every punch he throws now seems to be like a breath of wind, but in fact, it can't even hit a piece of wood. Even so, his strength is almost gone. , exhausted and sweating profusely, wheezing and panting.
Zhang Huahan saw that it was getting late, and Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong and the officials in the stands were not very interested anymore. He kicked Li Jinjiang away who was too tired to punch slowly. Li Jinjiang fell to the ground and lay there directly. Panting constantly.
Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong said: "Okay, okay. As expected, Guard Zhang is highly skilled in martial arts. He has been named a fourth-grade sword-wielding guard to accompany me. The two guards, Wu Tieli and Li Jingang, will rest for a month with their salaries. They will report to duty after one month and be given to Guard Zhang." Thousands of taels of silver, hundreds of pieces of silk and satin." After Zhang Huahan heard the eunuch's order, he quickly kowtowed and thanked him with a look of joy on his face.
The job of the Ouchi guards is actually very easy. They just patrol around. And the fourth-grade guards like Zhang Huahan are quite similar to the guards. The patrols are just a show. They have more free time, but they are more careful when accompanying the emperor. Just some.
After Zhang Huahan was appointed as the fourth-grade imperial guard, the eunuch in charge of the guards took him to the room where the guards stayed. The rooms where the guards stayed were divided into grades, and the fourth-grade was the highest grade. The higher one was the eunuch in charge of the guards of the third-grade. , so the room of the fourth-grade imperial guard is the most luxurious and largest among the rooms where the guards stay. There are five rooms inside and outside, including the hall, living room, bedroom, study room and a large and sturdy practice room.
The palace is responsible for the three meals a day for the imperial guards, so Zhang Huahan ate his first meal in the palace's guard cafeteria. The unlimited meals allowed Zhang Huahan, who had more than ten times the amount of food for ordinary people, to be full, but in reality The guards and the chefs in the palace canteen were shocked, thinking that he had not eaten for months. The kind-hearted old chef tried to persuade Zhang Huahan not to eat all at once, but Zhang Huahan's three meals in a row The appetites are all the same, so everyone is not surprised.
For three consecutive days, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong did not summon Zhang Huahan to personally escort him. Zhang Huahan's mission was to patrol the palace during the day. After a few weeks, there was nothing wrong. In the past three days, he got to know most of the imperial guards, and then he knew that the imperial guards There are only eleven fourth-grade guards in total, and most of the guards are sixth- or seventh-grade or even lower.
On the morning of the fourth day, Eunuch Gao, the eunuch in charge of the guards, came to Zhang Huahan's residence and told Zhang Huahan, who was about to go on duty, that the emperor wanted him to go to the imperial guard. Zhang Huahan quickly got ready and followed Eunuch Gao. Zhang Huahan saw that Eunuch Gao was following Eunuch Gao. In addition to himself, there were two imperial fourth-rank guards and eight imperial fifth-rank guards. After everyone followed Eunuch Gao and found two more fifth-rank imperial guards, they immediately rushed to protect Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong.
Zhang Huahan and many low-level imperial guards replaced the previous batch of personal imperial guards who guarded the emperor. Zhang Huahan was allowed to guard behind the emperor together with Li Eunuch, a master of eunuch guards. Today Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong is going to Qian Qianyi's mansion. Since last time After the incident in Qian Qianyi's mansion where a fairy robbed Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi's newborn daughter, Ma Shiying and the eunuch Wang Bao who were still alive at the time reported to Emperor Zhu Yousong that Qian Qianyi's mansion was blessed with auspicious gods and great blessings. Seeing the sign, Zhu Yousong immediately went there to look, but the fairy had already left.
Zhu Yousong heard that she was a beautiful fairy, so she came to see her every three days. As a result, under the deliberate guidance of Wang Bao, she met the beautiful Liu Rushi. The lustful Zhu Yousong immediately raped Liu Rushi, who was still grieving for her daughter. Liu Rushi also threatened Liu Rushi to behead Qian Qianyi's family immediately if she sought death, and asked her to serve him every time he came. Liu Rushi had no choice but to obey for Qian Qianyi's family, and the timid and flattering Liu Rushi Qian Qianyi immediately obeyed the order and was secretly happy, knowing that by currying favor with the emperor, his official position would be more secure.
Today Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong missed Liu Rushi and specially called the new and most skilled Zhang Huahan to protect him and prepare to go to Qian Qianyi's mansion. Zhang Huahan couldn't speak or ask anything along the way, so he didn't know at all What are you going to do in Qian Qianyi's mansion?
Emperor Zhu Yousong was on the Dragon Boat, and Zhang Huahan and Eunuch Li rode on the dragon's side. All the way to Qian's Mansion, Qian Qianyi had already laid out a red carpet at the door to greet him. With three cheers of long live the emperor, he got off the Dragon Boat. The guards guarded Zhu Yousong closely, and Zhu Yousong entered the Qian Mansion under the leadership of Qian Qianyi, who was smiling and bending over.
Zhu Yousong walked to the back garden of the Qian Mansion with ease. Liu Rushi, who had dressed up, accompanied by two maids, came to greet Zhu Yousong, while Qian Qianyi also said goodbye and left.
In this situation, Zhang Huahan, who was familiar with the character of Zhu Yousong in history, knew what he was doing here. Zhang Huahan did not squint, and glanced at the famous beauty Liu Rushi in history with the corner of his eye, and saw her fair skin. , with an oval face, watery eyes, and a small straight nose, Zhang Huahan also noticed that Liu Rushi had tall breasts, slender legs, a slim waist and wide hips, making her a beautiful woman with natural beauty.
Zhang Huahan did not dare to look more, and turned his head around to look at the surrounding situation. Liu Rushi took the emperor into the embroidery room. Zhang Huahan followed Eunuch Li's instructions and stood guard at the door of the room. The other guards also stood in their respective positions. Eunuch Li took the The two eunuchs came in and out delivering all kinds of fine wine and food that Qian Qianyi had prepared for the emperor.
Zhang Huahan saw that every food, drink and even fruit was inserted with a silver needle by Eunuch Li to check. It seemed that he was detecting drugs. The soundproofing of the house was very good, and Zhang Huahan could only occasionally hear faint laughter inside.
Zhu Yousong spent the whole morning in the room. Zhang Huahan cursed in his heart: Zhu Yousong, this foolish king, did not go to court in the morning just to have fun with the minister's wife. He was so stupid. If it weren't for the Chinese army in the north that wiped out the Manchu Qing Dynasty The main force, Zhu Yousong, could only have ten months of being emperor. Now history has changed. He has been emperor for a few more years, but he has become even more confused and has no sense of crisis at all.
When the sun was in the middle of the day, the maids and servants of the Qian Mansion brought meals to the guards. Since the palace guards had strict rules when they were on duty, there was no wine. The meal was just a big bowl of white rice, a plate of fish and a plate of fish. The bowl was a chowder made of bamboo shoots, cabbage, pork, potatoes, tofu and other ingredients. It tasted very good. Zhang Huahan finished it quickly. The food was not enough for him to even fill his teeth. "I will give you such a quantity of food again." I'll give you fifteen portions, so I won't use the fish." After finishing his meal, Zhang Huahan grabbed the hand of the boy in charge and said.
The boy in charge looked at the tall and thin Zhang Huahan with disdain. He was the distant nephew of Qian Qianyi's eldest wife. He came here just yesterday through the eldest lady's relationship. He was originally not interested in the arrangements Qian Qianyi and the eldest lady had for him. He was dissatisfied and didn't know anything. He had never seen the world. He didn't know the identity of these bodyguards who were protecting whom. He curled his lips and said, "No more. The food is rationed. You can eat it." So much, even the rice pail can't hold the food. Look at you like this, do you want to bring food to the family? I tell you there is no way, and you don't even look at what kind of house there is, there are no rules." Zhang Huahan immediately heard this. The anger was rising, even the high officials had never ridiculed him like this, but suppressing his anger, Zhang Huahan said: "This little brother doesn't know that I am born to eat, even if this little brother shows me a favor and allows me to have a full meal ." The other low-level guards did not say anything due to the rule that the highest-ranked imperial guard handles matters when they are on duty. Some looked at the joke, and some glared angrily at the young man in charge. The two imperial guards next to them Guard Pin came over and said to the boy in charge: "Our brother is very capable and has a big appetite, so if you have more to eat, just bring it. Didn't Master Qian ask you to entertain us well?"
The young man in charge saw Zhang Huahan talking softly, and two bodyguards came to threaten him with the master. He thought these people were weak and couldn't deal with him and wanted to ask the master to help them. He was a relative of the master, and these people didn't care. What? Just now, the housekeeper randomly sent someone to tell him to treat these people well. It seemed that he was not an important person. Besides, he felt that there was nothing rude about him. How did he know that the housekeeper was busy personally monitoring Arranging the meals and items sent to the emperor and checking if there was anything wrong, I didn't have time to personally tell him the importance of this group of people.
The boy in charge thought of this and said firmly: "Nonsense, no matter how much I can eat, I can't eat a meal for fifteen people. How big is a person's belly, can he hold so many things? Begging for food? No! A bunch of beggar-like warriors The bodyguards also came to my house to be arrogant, what the hell." After listening to the first half of his sentence, the two imperial guards were thinking about how Zhang Huahan had so much food for every meal. His stomach really couldn't hold it. Where did all the food go? Right? Just when I was thinking about this difficult question, I heard someone say they were beggars and what they were. I got angry. Zhang Huahan could hold it back, but they couldn’t hold it back. They had never been ridiculed like this even in front of the emperor. Afterwards, one of the fourth-rank imperial guards named Wang Gang first gave the boy in charge a slap in the face and said: "Boy, your master can't say that to us even when you are here. You are so bold as to teach us a lesson." , I will teach you a lesson for your master." He said and punched him again. Although he didn't do much, the boy in charge couldn't stand these two blows and immediately ran away with a bloody head. While shouting: "Just wait, I will sue my aunt, you dare to beat me like this."
Zhang Huahan quickly stopped Wang Gang, who was about to pursue him, and said: "Brother Wang, don't get angry, it's not worth it for such a villain. We have more important tasks, there is no need to chase him."
Eunuch Li, a master eunuch guard, heard the noise outside, and immediately came out and said in a high-pitched voice: "What's going on, you little bastards? What's the noise about? How many heads do you have enough to chop off for disturbing the Holy Master?"
Zhang Huahan immediately came over and said to Eunuch Li: "Eunuch Li, I have a big appetite and eat a lot, but they don't give me more food. I'm hungry, for fear of affecting my ability to protect the emperor!" Eunuch Li saw that he was a highly skilled martial artist and
Zhang Huahan, who was deeply loved by the emperor, immediately smiled and said: "It turns out to be Guard Zhang, what's going on with Qian Qianyi! Let's send someone to ask him." He immediately sent a young eunuch to find Qian Qianyi.
.
Qian Qianyi was monitoring the royal meal prepared for the emperor in the kitchen. Suddenly a servant came to report what happened in the backyard. As soon as he finished listening, he saw an eunuch coming. The eunuch ran over and said: "Master Qian, our Eunuch Li wants to ask you
Why don't you give the guards a full meal? Do you want the guards to go hungry to protect the emperor?" Qian Qianyi said with sweat on his head: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will have food delivered to you immediately, that arrogant young man, I
I'll give you thirty, no, I'll give you fifty bucks, to relieve the brothers of the guards. The food will be here immediately, right away. After saying that, he immediately handed the eunuch a small piece of gold that weighed three liang. This eunuch
He immediately said a few polite words and went back to resume his duties.
Qian Qianyi immediately sent someone to deliver meals to the imperial guards. The two dishes became five dishes and one soup. The guards, who had little appetite, looked at the delicious food with their full stomachs and complained. Qian Qian was angry.
Qian Yi captured the distant nephew who was crying at the eldest wife's house, gave him a twenty-pound blow and sent him back to his hometown.dd
