The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Master Zhang..." Liu Siwen was a little confused by Zhang Siwei's words. In fact, he was not the only one. Basically, all the people present were a little confused except Zhang Fan and Zhang Siwei himself. It's impossible to know what the flood incident means, and... and it's just those few days, could it be that something happened in Mr. Wang's barracks in those few days?"

"This..." Zhang Siwei hesitated as if he didn't know whether he should say it, but he finally spoke up, "It's just like Mr. Liu said, something really happened in those few days."

"Master Zhang, what's the matter with you?" Sun Piyang on the side was really puzzled why Zhang Siwei put on such an appearance, and couldn't help asking, "Is there something unspeakable?"

"..." And Zhang Siwei still looked like he wanted to say something, but this time, he nodded.

"Master Zhang, maybe there is really something hard to say, but now, Master Zhang understands the current situation," Liu Siwen said, "The current situation is quite unfavorable for Master Zhang. Sir, if you have something to say, if you can change the situation, please speak clearly."

Hearing what Liu Siwen said, Zhang Siwei looked helpless, and finally made a look of helplessness, and said: "Forget it, although it is a bad thing, it is nothing compared to the current situation. Well, if you say it out, at most it will make everyone laugh and make Ziwei lose face.

"The day before the flood, Ziwei practiced with his uncle's sergeants as usual. Everyone knows that his uncle has been fighting for decades, and he has fought with the Tartars for decades. Although now, The mutual market between the two sides has opened, and there are no Tartars who come to plunder the frontier, and my uncle has also gone to Shanxi to be the governor. Originally, the uncle is also old, and it is time to enjoy the blessings, but he just can't let it go, and he can't calm down. , and, even now, my uncle's military training methods are no different from before.

"The practice that day was to put on the armor, bring the sword and bow, and run back and forth for ten miles, that is, twenty miles. Everyone present is a scholar. Maybe I don't know it, but Mr. Taifu wears the armor. In comparison, I know what it's like," Zhang Siwei looked at Zhang Fan who was sitting beside him.

It's not just Zhang Siwei, but everyone present turned their attention to Zhang Fan. It's not that there are no generals present, but most of these people are usually wearing court or ordinary uniforms, and when they are fully armed with armor, there is really no one. How many, some even, even though they are military generals, they took off their armor after wearing it for a while, and they don't even know what it means to run for twenty miles while wearing armor all the time.

And Zhang Fan also took advantage of the trend, showing a look of deep understanding, nodded slightly, and said: "This... Yuande is also 'fortunate', haha... this...that is really unbearable, Just imagine, wearing armor all over your body would weigh dozens of catties at least, not to mention carrying a sword and carrying a bow. Even if you don't do anything, let you stand there, let alone a day, I will suffer for an hour. I can't help it, if there were no Tartars in front of me at that time, the devil would be willing to wear those clothes. Later, even if the Tartars were killed in front of me, I had a thought in my heart. It's a good time to kill." When Zhang Fan talked about this matter, the expression on his face was very rich, and he looked completely unbearable. This is also half-truth and half-false. I have suffered that kind of crime, and it is indeed very uncomfortable, so this half of the truth is revealed, and the other people present are immediately convinced.

"My lord Tai Tu is right. Although Ziwei was born as a scholar, if Ziwei is allowed to go to the battlefield like this, instead of suffering so much and being a coward, it's better to take it off and fight the Tartars desperately." "Yes," Zhang Siwei said with a look of lingering fear, "but it was a drill at the time. Since the military order is like this, there is no way to do it. Moreover, my uncle has explained that we must treat everyone equally, so Ziwei is no exception, but It’s nothing more than wearing clothes, and I still have to run for more than 20 miles, and it’s still in this season. In fact, I couldn’t stand it after I didn’t even run for a mile, so I could only walk step by step.

"Unfortunately, there was an order that day, and the last five people who came back had to... clean the toilets of the whole camp for five days," Zhang Siwei's face turned red once again.

But although Zhang Siwei was shy, at this moment, all the people present understood why he looked so embarrassed just now. Indeed, let a scholar, and he was also an official of the imperial court, the chief manager of Zhan Shifu, go to Cleaning the toilet, this is really... Don't talk about Zhang Siwei himself, I'm afraid someone else might not be able to say it.

While Zhang Fan was standing aside, he was both funny and curious. He had encountered this kind of thing not once or twice, but what made him even more puzzled was that in this army... how could people be punished in such a three-time manner? There are two types, either increased practice, or no food, or, cleaning the toilet, and sometimes two or three at the same time, but no matter how you change it, you just can’t get rid of these three.

When Feng Bao heard Zhang Siwei's words, he was stunned on the spot. To be honest, even just now, Zhang Siwei said that he had evidence to prove his innocence, but although Feng Bao was flustered, he didn't take it too seriously. Go, but now, Zhang Siwei said so, then...

"Could it be that..." Liu Siwen, who was sitting on it, also looked surprised, "In those few days, Mr. Zhang was there... even in Mr. Wang's army, he couldn't clean the toilet,"

"Well," Zhang Siwei nodded in embarrassment, and then his face turned into a look of lingering fear, and said, "I cleaned the toilet for five days in a row. , Originally, in fact, according to the military order that day, the last five people who came back just missed a lunch and cleaned the toilet for a day.

"But that general didn't know what to do. His uncle had strictly ordered him to come over and treat him equally in the army, but he... maybe he saw me... Firstly, Mr. Wang is my uncle; secondly, after all, I He is an official of the imperial court, originally, he couldn't escape no matter what, but he hesitated," Zhang Siwei said here, with a look of gritted teeth on his face.

"And... what a coincidence, when you say this kind of thing, it's okay to hesitate for a while, but you still put it on for such a long time, but before he could speak, uncle came to inspect, and after asking, Uncle thought that the punishment was too heavy for me, and wanted to escape, so he imposed a severe punishment. I was not allowed to eat for one day, and I had to clean the toilet for five days in a row, and I had to wear armor all the time for five days, and not only that, The other people, including the general, will be punished together with me, and in order to prevent me from being lazy, my uncle photographed two more people and stared at the six of us in turn until the toilet was cleaned on the fifth day , this is a real thing,"

Although Zhang Siwei had an expression that he didn't want to say it, he still added this sentence at the end. Obviously, this is the reaction of normal people. Anyway, such embarrassing things have already been said, even if they want to be laughed at, there is nothing wrong with it. It can't be avoided, since that's the case, then you have to make what you say have value.

And what Zhang Siwei said actually made many people present want to laugh. After all, an official of the imperial court, and also the chief steward of Zhan Shifu, spends all day talking with those princes, nobles, and relatives of the emperor. A person who deals with business, and also has a literary talent, is well-educated, such a person, wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms, in this midsummer weather, cleaned the toilet for five days in a row, and even had to be watched by someone when he was resting .

It's impossible not to laugh at something like this.

But after laughing, many people became serious, regardless of whether what Zhang Siwei said was true or not, but based on the people present's understanding of Wang Chonggu, he really could do this kind of thing. You know, once it involves military affairs, Wang Chonggu can be said to be disowned by his relatives. Sometimes, he can even do things like "the general is away, and the king's order is not accepted".

In comparison, letting one's own nephew clean the toilet for five days in a row, this kind of thing is too small to be small.

But in this way, things will take a turn for the better. If the things Zhang Siwei said are true, then obviously, all the suspicions or doubts about him now have disappeared. Since those five days During the time, if he was working with the toilet, then he would have no chance to know about the flood. Even if he knew, he would have no time to write letters. Everyone is watching.

Of course, the person looking at him may have omissions, but it is still possible if another person is changed, but in Wang Chonggu's place, absolutely not. Wang Chonggu's rumors in the court are not only his temper and attitude, but also his attitude. There are quite a few things about him, and, many people can be sure, that's true.

It is absolutely impossible for Wang Chonggu to allow such a situation to happen in the army. Since he made a mistake, he will be punished. If he is lazy even when he is punished, what effect will it have?

In the early years, when Wang Chonggu did this for the first time, some people did not believe in evil. As a result, under the military law, it was a matter of moving their heads. After so many years, all Wang Chonggu's subordinates were obedient. If they go east, they dare not go west.

It was also natural that Wang Chonggu made people look at Zhang Siwei and the others, and they were not allowed to leave their bodies for a moment except for blinking. That was definitely the case.

And in this way, Feng Bao's complexion really changed this time and would never return to its original appearance.
