Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 322 My Lord, Immortal Zhang is Coming!

Kaifeng, Zhou Wangfu.

After King Zhu of Zhou rejected his eldest nephew, he should eat and drink all day long, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Concubine Feng of Zhou was worried all day long, always feeling that something was about to happen.

One day, when Zhu Wei was practicing calligraphy in the study, Princess Feng came in with a plate of pastries.

Seeing that it was the princess, Zhu Huan immediately showed her the newly written calligraphy work as a treasure, hoping that the other party could praise him a few words.

Feng Shi looked at it and said perfunctorily.

"It's so well written, it's almost as good as Wang Xizhi's."

Hearing this, Zhu Huan's old face sank immediately.He wrote in cursive script, so what does it have to do with Wang Xizhi!
"Put down the pastry and ask Miao Ding to come in and serve you."

Zhu Huan likes to dance and write, but he didn't like the concubine Feng Shi at first, thinking that her background was vulgar, illiterate, and incomprehensible.

It's just because the other party is a marriage gift from the father and the daughter of Song Guogong Feng Sheng, so I respect him a little.

Even so, not long after becoming a fan, he married three concubines one after another, and personally changed their names to Ni Miaoding, Yang Miaoxiu, and Mu Miaofu.

Among them, Ni Miaoding, who is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is his favorite concubine.

Concubine Feng put down the pastry, but she didn't have the slightest intention to leave.

"Your Highness, you didn't let the third emperor's grandson visit the door last time. I always think it's wrong after thinking about it."

"My father once asked someone to deliver a letter to my concubine in Beijing, saying that the father loves the third emperor's grandson the most. If the father knows that we have neglected the third emperor's grandson, he will definitely reprimand us!"

Zhu Wei was also a little angry when he heard this.

"If you reprimand, just reprimand, how can you lose a piece of meat?"

"Your husband is an incompetent person, and he is destined to be a prince in this life."

"Gu didn't think of rebelling, even if the grandson becomes emperor in the future, what can he do with Gu?"

"He wouldn't risk the disgrace of the world and send troops to destroy Gu, would he?"

Seeing that she really couldn't persuade His Royal Highness, Feng Shi could only flick his sleeves angrily, turn around and leave.

Seeing that Feng Shi dared to throw face at him, Zhu Huan cursed him immediately after he walked away.

"shrew!"

"Father is also blind, why did you tell Gu that you are such a stupid woman!"

When Zhou Wang was cursing, a gust of fragrant wind hit, and the beauty Xu Miaoding floated in from the door.

"Who is your highness angry with?"

King Zhou scolded angrily.

"Who else could it be, of course it's that shrew Feng!"

When Ni Miaoding saw that the prince was angry with the concubine again, he was secretly happy, and was about to say a few words with embellishments.

Although she didn't dare to hope that she could abolish the princess, and then let the prince straighten herself up.But as long as the concubine is unhappy and the prince despises her, those concubines like them will have a bright future.

However, before he could speak, the chief eunuch of the palace rushed in.

"Your Majesty, something important has happened. His Majesty the Emperor ordered someone to pass the decree!"

"Holy decree?"

When King Zhou heard this, he hurriedly pushed away Ni Miaoding who was tired of him, and hurried back to the room to change his clothes.

Not long after, King Zhou dressed neatly and set up an incense table in the yard, and then led the whole family to kneel down to receive the imperial edict.

"My son respectfully invites Shengan!"

"Saint Christine!"

Jin Yiwei's new deputy commander, Chang Sen, saw that Zhou Wang's family was almost kneeling, so he opened the imperial decree in front of everyone.

"The emperor's edict said!"

Chang Sen got stuck after reading this sentence, because apart from the first sentence of the whole imperial decree, the rest of it really doesn't look like the imperial decree should be.

Zhou Yuan, who accompanied Chang Sen to pass the decree, thought that Chang Sheng encountered a word he didn't know.

After all, those officials who wrote the imperial decree liked to drag the text the most, and never considered whether they, the Jinyiwei who passed the imperial decree, could know them.

"what happened?"

"Brother Zhou, look at the imperial decree..."

Zhou Yuan raised his head and saw that the imperial decree was full of plain words, so he asked puzzledly.

"What's wrong with this edict, is it indeed our emperor's handwriting?"

Chang Sen was shocked when he heard the words, is our emperor's imperial edict so casual?

"Brother Zhou, how do you read it? Do you want to read the emperor's tone?"

"Here, you can play freely, don't care what you read, and don't wait for anyone to dare to dislike you."

King Zhou knelt on the ground for a while, and when he saw Chang Sen muttering to another Jinyiwei Qianhu for a while without reading the imperial decree, he immediately became a little impatient.

"Hey!"

"What are you two doing? Can you still read the imperial edict properly?"

Chang Sen coughed immediately when he heard King Zhou's urging.

"Zhu Huan, you bastard!"

When King Zhou heard this, he stood up from the ground angrily on the spot, pointed at Chang Sen and cursed.

"Who the fuck are you scolding?"

"Don't think that your Chang family can go to heaven just because your Chang family is next to the third emperor's grandson!"

"Gu tells you, no matter how bad Gu is, he is still the Prince of Ming, and not any cat or dog can ruin it!"

Chang Sen saw King Zhou going mad, and quickly explained.

"Prince Zhou, I don't mean to scold you for being humble, it's written in the emperor's decree!"

"It's the emperor who is scolding you!"

"Emperor...Father..."

When King Zhou thought of his father's casual decree, he knelt down resentfully.

"Hurry up!"

"promise!"

"Zhu Huan, you bastard, why did we give birth to such a wolf-hearted thing like you!"

"Your eldest nephew visited you with good intentions, but you closed the gate of the city tightly, and no one could even enter the gate. Do you still have a conscience!"

"Now reduce the number of guards and horses in the Zhou Palace, and then order Jin Yiwei to take [-] big boards!"

"Kin this!"

After Chang Sen read out the imperial edict, everyone in the yard was dumbfounded, including him, the one who read out the imperial edict.

He only knew after reading the imperial decree why the emperor ordered him to come to Kaifeng Mansion to pass the decree. He dared to reject the third emperor's grandson because of the disagreement between the king of Zhou and the third emperor's grandson. La!
Chang Sen thought of this, and looked at King Zhou with a less friendly expression. His eyes had already started to glance at King Zhou's raised buttocks, thinking about how to beat him later, so that this guy would know the pain!

King Zhou was stunned after hearing the imperial decree, and he couldn't even believe his ears.

Is it just because I didn't let that bastard Zhu Yunxi come to the door, that I can attract such a thunderous anger from my father?
Thinking of this, King Zhou felt so wronged that he was about to explode.

I am also my father's own son, so it's fine if I can't compare to the eldest brother of the prince, but now I can't even compare to a grandson, so I might as well die!
Seeing that the King of Zhou hadn't accepted the order for a long time, Chang Sen immediately asked in a dark tone.

"Your Highness King Zhou, are you trying to resist the decree?"

"Chang Sen, don't pretend to be a tiger!"

Chang Sen snorted coldly.

"Even if the lowly job is fake, it is relying on the power of the emperor, relying on the power of the emperor!"

"Just give me a good word, whether you accept this decree or not. If you don't accept it, I will take it back and return it to the emperor!"

Chang Sen's two words made Zhou Yuan's blood boil.

Originally, Zhou Yuan and other elders of Jinyiwei had some opinions on Chang Sen. They felt that this child was too young to take on the important task of commander of Jinyiwei.

Seeing that Chang Sen is so domineering now, he doesn't look like his second brother at all, so he admits it from the bottom of his heart.

I feel that this is the courage that the commander of Jin Yiwei should have. What is Jiang Yu now, he is not even qualified to be a respondent!

Zhou Wang was so run on by Chang Sen that he was so angry that he almost cried on the spot.

Although the King of Zhou hated him to death, he did not dare to disobey the order.If he resists the decree today, tomorrow the old man will send someone to lock him up and take him to Beijing, and put him in the imperial prison of Jinyiwei!

"My son... my son leads the decree to thank you, woo woo woo..."

Chang Sen stuffed the imperial decree into King Zhou's hands, and then said to Jin Yiwei behind him.

"Bring up the board, we will personally execute His Royal Highness King Zhou!"

"promise!"

Chang Sen took the board handed over by his subordinates, walked up to King Zhou and asked coldly.

"His Royal Highness Zhou Wang, shall we execute the execution here, or drive the others out before executing the execution?"

King Zhou didn't want to be beaten in front of his wife and concubines, so he said to Chang Sen immediately.

"Get everyone else out!"

"Respect!"

"Everyone else withdraws, I am going to execute His Majesty's death!"

Several concubines of King Zhou hurriedly retreated after hearing the words, as if they were afraid of being splashed with blood.Only Zhou Wang's concubine, Feng Shi, hurriedly took off a golden hairpin from her head, crawled up to Chang Sen, and forced the golden hairpin into Chang Sen's hand.

"Deputy Commander Chang, I beg you to be merciful, my prince's body is weak, but he can't hold forty boards..."

Chang Sen threw the golden hairpin to the ground with a look of disgust, and even stepped back a few steps, breaking free from Feng's hands.

"Princess, please respect yourself!"

"The humble position is deeply favored by the emperor, how can I do such a thing of favoritism!"

"Come here, take the princess out, don't let her miss the emperor's errand!"

King Zhou also felt that Feng Shi was a bit ashamed, turned around and scolded him.

"Stupid woman!"

"Hurry up and get out, don't stay here to embarrass yourself!"

"Even if this king dies, he won't beg such a picky villain!"

"My lord!"

When Feng heard this, he was so angry that he almost cried to death.

"My lord, it's time now, don't be so stubborn!"

After Feng finished talking about King Zhou, he immediately looked at Chang Sen pleadingly.

"Master Chang, please, for the sake of your sister-in-law, who is also my own sister, show mercy to my prince!"

"I kowtow to you here, woo woo woo..."

When Chang Sen saw Feng Shi saying this, he immediately remembered that Feng Shi, the widow of his elder brother, was a sister of Zhou Wang's concubine.

When Chang Sen thought of this relationship, his mouth felt as if he had eaten fly droppings.

Originally, he wanted to take a good breath out on behalf of his nephew, but now that the two families are related and they have some old relationship, how can he beat him?
As everyone knows, this is Lao Zhu's purpose, to bind the royal family and the nobles of the court together through the big net of blood relationship.

If the royal family prospers, the nobles will prosper, and if the royal family dies, all the nobles will perish.

"Princess please get up!"

"Since the princess said so, Chang Sen will definitely take care of him."

"But the emperor said forty boards, so there must be one board. Rather than embarrassing the lowly position here, the princess should call the medical officer in the palace as soon as possible and prepare it for the prince in advance..."

The Feng family is not an ignorant person. Hearing what Chang Sen said, he knew that Chang Sen would not make things too difficult for his prince, and he would be merciful during the execution.

Therefore, Feng got up from the ground and hurriedly ordered someone to call the medical officer.

As for herself, she has been standing by the side and waiting, waiting for the prince to finish the board so that she can serve at any time.

Although Chang Sen has decided to look at Wang Hao and his sister-in-law's face, and Zhou Wangwang is lenient, but he is a martial arts practitioner, and the strength in his hands is very strong. Howling ghosts and howling wolves.

After Chang Sen finished his [-]th board, King Zhou passed out from the pain.

Seeing this, Feng rushed forward to check the injury, and seeing that his prince was beaten to pieces, he hurriedly thanked Chang Sen.

The concubines who were hiding outside the door saw that there was no movement inside, so they rushed in to show their courtesy.Seeing that the prince was beaten to death, with blood still flowing from his buttocks, he immediately abused Chang Sen and others.

"You bastards who have received a thousand knives, are you trying to beat my prince to death?"

"Even if His Majesty wanted to punish the prince, he didn't tell you to beat him so hard, did he?"

"You are treating the vassals harshly, we will write a book to sue you!"

Princess Feng heard the words of the concubines, and immediately slapped each of them a few times.

"Shut up for me!"

"If it wasn't for the brothers of the Chang family being merciful, the prince might not be able to get out of bed for half a year!"

Feng Shi finished reprimanding the ignorant concubine in the palace, then turned around and bowed to Chang Senyingying.

"Thank you Brother Chang Sen for your mercy, I thank you on behalf of the prince."

Chang Sen sighed secretly when he heard the words, after all, the women from Xungui's family knew the rules and were knowledgeable.

Ordinary women think it's serious when they see bleeding, but they don't know that bleeding is a trivial matter.

People in Jinyiwei who are used to playing with boards, with dozens of boards, can make people's skin not broken, but the bones inside can be smashed by you.

"The concubine should hurry up and order someone to take the prince back to heal his wounds. I have to go back to Beijing to return to my humble position!"

"Brother Chang, that concubine is neglecting herself!"

"Come here, seal a bag of silver for each of the angels, and let them buy tea on the way!"

This time Chang Sen didn't refuse, and cupped his hands at Feng Shi.

"The humble position is on behalf of the brothers, thank the princess for the reward!"

When Chang Sen led the people back, they happened to meet the team of the Three Emperors. Qianhu Zhouyuan saw Chang Sen's thoughts and immediately suggested.

"Deputy Commander, the brothers are all tired from running, let's go to the station ahead and rest for a while."

Chang Sen was also very moved when he heard the words, and wanted to visit his nephew, and then ask the third emperor's grandson to inquire about the situation of the second brother.

It's just that when he thinks that he has the emperor's errand on his shoulders, he doesn't dare to neglect in the slightest.

"Farewell, let's rest together until the next night."

"All right!"

On the official road, in the special carriage that Zhu Yunxi was riding in, Zhu Yunxi was writing and drawing on the table with a few students.

"Everyone, the general route of the Jintong Railway has been determined in this way. In the next few months, you will walk along the route several times to finalize every detail."

"For example, what should I do if I encounter a mountain, whether to build a tunnel or go around it. When encountering a river, should I build a bridge or something..."

"Yes!"

"Follow the order of the third grandson!"

On the way back to Beijing, Zhu Yunxi had been leading people to draw construction drawings.

Although the current Daming does not have the ability to build railways, he does not intend to build them now. He just wants to order people to lay out the roadbed first, so that sleepers and rails can be laid later.

He believed that in another three to two years, Daming's steel production should be able to supply it, and it would not be too late to officially start construction by then.

While Zhu Yunxi was discussing the details with the students, Xu Liuzi, a thousand households of Jin Yiwei who accompanied him, knocked on the window of the carriage.

"Third emperor's grandson, I seem to have seen the third master of the Chang family passing in front of us. Would you like to greet him and bring him to meet you?"

"Bring it here, just ask him what he did to the north!"

When Xu Liuzi heard this, he giggled guiltily, and immediately ordered someone to chase after the third master of the Chang family.

Chang Sen originally gave up seeing the third emperor's grandson, but when he saw the third emperor's grandson sent someone to call him, he hurried over to greet him.

"The humble Chang Sen, I have met the grandson of the Three Emperors!"

"Third Uncle, don't we need to be so polite?"

"Rules, rules can't be broken, hehehe..."

Chang Sen rode a horse and followed Zhu Yunxi's carriage closely, and the two of them chatted one after another.

"Third uncle, what business do you have to go to the north?"

"It's nothing, the emperor missed King Zhou, and asked the humble official to give King Zhou some rewards."

"oh oh……"

Zhu Yunxi was skeptical when he heard the words, thinking that the fifth uncle was not in Kaifeng, what reward would the emperor give him?
"Third Uncle, I have a letter for Grandpa Huang, please take it back for me, and then tell Grandpa Huang that I will go to Zhongdu to pay homage to the ancestral mausoleum on my return trip, and then I will go back."

Chang Sen heard that Zhu Yunxi wanted to pay homage to the ancestral mausoleum, so he hurriedly agreed.Then he inquired with Zhu Yunxi about the situation of the second brother, and saw that the second brother was doing well in Datong, so he beat the horse and said goodbye.

Chang Sen returned to the capital and handed over the letter from the third grandson to Lao Zhu. When Lao Zhu heard that the grandson was going to pay homage to the ancestral mausoleum, his face was filled with joy.

"I can't see that this rebellious grandson actually has such filial piety!"

Lao Zhu opened the letter in front of Chang Sen, seeing that it was just a greeting, he threw the letter aside after reading it, and asked about the situation with King Zhou.

"How is the king of Zhou, has there ever been any resentment?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the king of Zhou is quite respectful to the emperor. He received the decree, thanked him, and received the punishment."

"Concubine Zhou also rewarded Beizhi and other brothers with 20 taels of silver each, and let them buy tea on the way."

Old Zhu saw that Chang Sen even talked about such a small thing, and his impression of Chang Sen was a little bit better.

"You can get the reward, it seems that you are showing mercy?"

Chang Sen said awkwardly when he heard the words.

"It doesn't count..."

"It's just that my humble position hinders the identity of His Royal Highness King Zhou, so I didn't dare to make heavy moves..."

Old Zhu was just joking, seeing that Chang Sen still answered so seriously, he immediately waved him away.

"Go back, I am lucky to be working in Jinyiwei!"

"promise!"

After Lao Zhu sent Chang Sen away, he stopped paying attention to King Zhou's affairs and continued to deal with the government affairs.

However, as soon as he picked up the memorial, he saw Erhu running over in a hurry.

"My lord, what a happy event!"

Hearing this, Old Zhu glared angrily and said.

"What a system!"

"No matter how big a happy event is, you can't be so flustered, it seems like we haven't seen the world before!"

"My lord, there is someone outside the palace gate asking to see you!"

"who?"

"It's a man dressed as a Taoist priest!"

"Self-proclaimed Zhang Sloppy!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was stunned, and it took a while to confirm again.

"Who did you just say?"

"Zhang sloppy!"

"Shenxian Zhang is here!"

When Lao Zhu heard Erhu say the name he had dreamed of again, he jumped up from the chair in excitement, but after walking a few steps, he felt his feet slip and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Erhu was protecting him and grabbed him, otherwise he would be ashamed today.

"Hurry up!"

"Help us to the gate of the palace, we have to greet Zhang Shenxian in person!"

"No no no, neglect!"

"Immediately send a decree to the officials of the six ministries to greet them at the gate of the palace!"

"By the way, which palace gate?"

"Go back to the emperor, Zhang Shenxian is outside Hongwu Gate!"

"Then order all the officials to greet him outside Hongwu Gate!"
