Chapter Seventeen: Brave and Invincible Admiral Zhang
There is love in April in the world, but it is said that the Fengwu Tower in the capital is like this.
Fengwu Tower is located in Dashi Yongfang in the south of the city. It is the property of Shouning Hou Zhang Heling. It is adjacent to West Chang'an Street to the north and Xuanwumen Street to the west. A few steps to the south is Xuanwumen, and to the east is Xijiangmi Lane.
, is the famous Jinyiwei Yamen, which can be said to be a good place where every inch of land is valuable.
"It is indeed a prosperous place. Dad also said that the capital is very desolate. In my opinion, except for some dirty alleys, other places are better than paradise on earth." A young man in blue stood in front of Fengwu Tower.
, said excitedly.
He is about eighteen or nineteen years old. He is very handsome and tall. He is wearing a knurled blue-collar robe and black leather boots. He is such a beautiful boy with a beautiful face. The young wives passing by can't help but take a peek.
Came over.
Standing next to him was a young man in white clothes who was nearly thirty years old. He had a calm demeanor and scolded him: "This place is different from my hometown, and it is also different from Fujian. You must not be frivolous and carefree. You must know that disaster comes from your mouth. I have a fortune telling today."
A hexagram is a sign of good fortune among bad things. If it weren't for my father's strict orders, I would never have come to participate in this auction."
The young man in blue pursed his lips and said, "These days, reading has made my head pound. I finally came out to get some air. Your long talk is annoying me to death."
The young man in white was about to scold him when he saw a man walking up the street and greeted him from a distance: "Is this Brother Rujie in front of you?"
"Brother Xiu Xian!" The young man in white cheered loudly, with an expression on his face like a spring flower blooming. He ran up quickly, held the man's arm, and said affectionately, "Last night at Pinxiang Tower, Xian
I will suffer for my brother, no, I am still dizzy."
The man was not very old. He looked similar to a young man in blue. He was wearing a black robe and a black gauze crown on his head. He had regular features and looked a bit honest at first glance, but he had a casual expression and glanced around.
, quite a bit arrogant.
"I know how to flatter the prime minister's son and scold me all day long," the young man in blue mumbled a few words, but with a smile on his face, he bowed to the young man in black clothes who was similar to himself, "I've seen you before.
Brother Yongxiu."
"Second brother," the young man in white said solemnly, "look at Yongxiu, and then look at yourself, what a decent person you are!"
The young man in blue was accustomed to being scolded by his elder brother since he was a child. He didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he blinked at a young lady passing by, which made the young lady's face look like a red dye shop.
"Your dear brother Rudu is a real celebrity," the young man in black clothes said with a smile. "Today's auction, which is full of copper odor, is full of talented people, which will add some good stories for next year."
"You can't be praised as a virtuous brother if you are in front of me," the young man in white also said with a smile, "Next year's competition, I will be the best in the competition with you. If Brother Fool can squeeze into the top three, it is the blessing of our ancestors."
"Three rubes!"
A cold voice came over, and when the three of them looked up, they saw a pale green young man, carrying a birdcage in his left hand, holding a maid in his right hand, followed by several strong servants. No need to guess, they knew it was the capital.
There is a certain dandy in Tai Sui.
"My surname is Ma, is your skin itchy again?" The young man in black clothes was furious, and with a wave of his hand, more than ten strong men, all dressed as servants, rushed up from behind. Their momentum completely overwhelmed the pale green young man and his party.
The pale green young man spat, let go of the maid in his hand, put his finger into his mouth, and blew a whistle. He saw five or six young men in colorful clothes coming up from all around, their faces varying in color from green to white, but they were all following behind him.
There are dozens of healthy servants.
Dozens of people formed a circle, trapping the young man in black clothes and his group.
Near the window on the second floor of Fengwu Building, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling stood respectfully next to a table, with a smile on his face, and said to the young man in front of him: "Your Majesty, it is Ma Yong, the second son of Ma Du Gong's family, and
Yang Shen, the young master of Master Yang’s family, those who gathered around him were either from Admiral Zhang’s family or from Admiral Wei’s family, and one of them was Wei Chen’s useless young son.”….
This young man is Emperor Zhengde. Today is the auction meeting of Donghai Company. He and Luo Xiang and others have been discussing for more than ten days and are waiting to see today's results. Unexpectedly, the auction has not started yet, and the auction will begin in front of Fengwu Building.
Complete martial arts.
It should be noted that Fengwu Tower is located in a strategic area and is the territory of Shouning Marquis. Not far to the northwest are the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple. Who dares to cause trouble?
When the time comes, the Jinyi guards from the east will catch you and then send them to the west, making sure that none of your bones can come out.
However, Shi Wenyi, the commander of Jinyi Guards, was beside Emperor Zhengde at this time. A few days ago, under the wise leadership of Liu Jin, Boss Liu, evidence was found that the former commander of the capital, Mou Bin, had colluded with Liu Jian and others. That night, Mou Bin
Bin was beaten to death by the gangsters from the expert factory during the interrogation process.
Zhu Shou only learned of the news in the early morning of the next day. Although there were many doubts about the case, he had no friendship with Mou Bin. After listening to Queen Mother Zhang's words, the death of one or two loyal ministers was no longer a problem for him.
What a big deal.
Shi Wenyi is Liu Jin's best friend, and using him to replace Mou Bin, who is very close to the civil service group, at least from the current perspective, is in Zhu Shou's interests.
The way of an emperor is all about balance. This sentence has unknowingly penetrated into the heart of the otaku Zhu Shou.
Those who can cause trouble in Fengwu Tower are naturally not ordinary people. Zhu Shou didn't want to ask Shi Wenyi, nor did he want to ask the few eunuchs who were following him, so he called Zhang Heling over.
"Who are those two?" Zhu Shou pointed at the young man in blue and the young man in white.
Zhang Heling looked at it for a long time, shook his head, and indicated that he did not recognize him. He must not be the descendant of the big guys in the capital. You must know that with Zhang Heling's social contacts, there is no famous dandy in the capital who does not know him.
"Wei Chen knows." Shi Wenyi quickly knelt down and reported back.
He also knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with him. When a new official took office, he had to follow in the footsteps of Boss Liu. There was no room for Mr. Shi to display his talents. This commander-in-chief had really failed miserably.
However, after Shi Wenyi became a noble, although Zhu Shou was dissatisfied, out of the mentality of balancing political power, he still acquiesced in his ascendancy.
But to Shi Wenyi's disappointment, the emperor did not answer his words, but said to Admiral Zhang Yongzhang who was standing aside: "You go."
Zhang Yong nodded awkwardly. He naturally knew what the emperor asked him to do. For Admiral Zhang, it was just a look from the emperor, let alone a word, and Admiral Zhang also knew what it meant.
Among the group of dandies downstairs, two are the sons of his eldest brother Zhang Fu. The younger one has been adopted by him and is regarded as the incense of his house.
It's such a noisy situation now. It really embarrasses the old Zhang family. We need to deal with those two bastards.
"Say." After Zhang Yong went downstairs, Zhu Shou turned around, looked at Shi Wenyi kneeling on the ground, and uttered a word from his mouth.
He seldom spoke in front of his servants. This was the rule of the royal family and the majesty of the Tian family.
The people of the world, whether they are pavilion elders or beggars, are all his people. Only by giving both kindness and power can the people feel the magnanimity of the heavenly family.
Shi Wenyi didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat on his head, lowered his head and said: "They are the two sons of Han Shaozong, the deputy envoy of Fujian Province. The older one is called Han Bangqi, named Rujie, and is twenty-eight years old. The younger one is called Han Bangjing, nineteen years old.
Named Rudu, he is the same year as Yang Shen and Yang Yongxiu. These three people are all candidates and are studying in Beijing to prepare for next year's competition."
Next year, the third year of Zhengde, happens to be the year of the Wuchen Science and Technology Competition. This is also the first scientific examination since Zhu Shou ascended the throne. Those who pass the examination are all Zhu Shou's disciples of the emperor.
However, Zhu Shou, an otaku, has poor historical knowledge. He did not know that the Han brothers would be admitted to Jinshi at the same time as undergraduates, nor did he know that Yang Shen, who was originally the top scholar, would fail because his paper was burned...
Of course, Yang Zhuangyuan was Yang Zhuangyuan. Three years later, Yang Shen made another reference and won the first place in one fell swoop. So, what should be yours will always be yours, and you can't escape no matter how you run away.
These are not questions that the otaku Zhu Shou can think of. He does not have Du Niangji's brother Gu Shu at his disposal. The only thing that interests him is the father of the Han brothers.
"Fujian?" Zhu Shou, an otaku, smiled faintly and thought to himself, "It's only been less than a month, and I can already smell the smell of blood. It seems that everyone is not a vegetarian. In this age of exploration, maybe I can really be impressed by it."
Done."
Although Shi Wenyi was well versed in the family backgrounds of all high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty, and the information in his hands was like an ocean, the only thing he didn't understand was what the emperor was thinking. For the head of Jinyiwei, this was very critical.
Fortunately, although Boss Liu is not here, Eunuch Luo Xiangluo is still there.
The two of them looked at each other, and when Mr. Shi saw Eunuch Luo nodding, he understood that the emperor would not be dissatisfied with him, and a big stone fell in his heart.
At this time, there was a burst of curses from downstairs, as well as loud slaps and sticks.
Zhu Shou looked up and saw that it was Admiral Zhang who was showing off his power, hitting a hundred people with one blow, using a big purple stick in his left hand to knock people down, and he also slapped a green young man with his right hand so that he rolled to the ground.
In less than a moment, more than a hundred servants were knocked to the ground. Several young masters hugged each other and cried, squatting in a row on the street. The only ones standing were Yang Shen and the two young masters of the Han family. Their faces were also pale and their hands were pale.
My legs were shaking and I seemed to be unable to stand.
All the children of high-ranking officials in the capital knew Admiral Zhang. When they saw the old man coming out with a stick, they naturally did not dare to fight back.
"I count to three, if you don't get out, I will break your legs." Zhang Yong squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.
The dandy and the servants ran away one after another as if they had received an amnesty.
"Uncle Shi..." Yang Shen forced himself to calm down, knelt down, and was about to bow his head and admit his mistake.
"Your father is about to return to Beijing," Zhang Yong threw the stick to the eunuch accompanying him and said calmly, "You are not allowed to leave the house for these three months."
"I will obey Uncle Shi's order." Yang Shen quickly agreed, and then hurriedly left with his servants.
"Why doesn't your uncle come?" Zhang Yong looked at the Han brothers and asked, "Have the people from Quanzhou arrived?"
Han Bangqi hurriedly said: "Hui Shibo, my nephew comes here this time to make decisions for the fifteen shops in Fuzhou. As for Uncle Chen in Quanzhou, my nephew doesn't know about it."
Zhang Yong spat, took the robe from his entourage, put it on his body, and lightly cursed: "A bunch of underfed thieves."
I don’t know whether he was scolding the dandy young masters just now or the Fujian maritime merchants.
