eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 135 Two Uncles, Two Idiots

Huang Fuyuan is an honest villager. He and his wife Qian have two sons and a daughter. The eldest son Huang Ping is 19 years old, and the youngest son Huang An is 17 years old. There was some conflict in the middle of this method to seize the people's land, which caused the daughter to disappear after being taken away. They didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

The whole family grieved for a long time, and it was not until the Leshan County Government distributed these fields back this year that they finally had some hope for life.

Now Lao Huang is more energetic when working in the fields.

The eldest son, Huang Pingyuan, was a mischievous and bold master before, but now he is even more extreme. He always said that the people in the government are all animals with human faces and beast hearts, and there is no good thing.

Every time he scolded like this, the gradually timid Huang An would say out loud, "Han Zhi County... No."

"Then what about the county magistrates?" Huang Ping asked his younger brother.

Huang An was smart and sensible since he was a child, but he was a bit naughty, because his father always told him not to cause trouble when he was out of the house. After a long time, he developed a character of hiding, and he did the same when facing his brother, "Great job Han Zhixian... ...so the court promoted him to the official position."

"Then let me ask you, the imperial court has transferred Han Zhi County away, and replaced us with someone who is not as good as Han Zhi County. Does it want us, or does it not want us?"

Huang An couldn't answer this question, so he lowered his head again, "I... I'd better study. In two days, I will go to the county to take the exam."

He is not even a scholar now, and he is far away from the so-called entrance examination.But the good thing is that, thanks to the magistrate Han, the family situation has finally stabilized. Recently, he has been making up for the lessons that he missed before.

Brother Huang Ping doesn't like to see Huang An's little daughter-in-law, "You look like this, and you will be bullied by those vicious corrupt officials in the future. Unlike me, hmph, don't give me a chance, or I will call them one." None can escape."

boom!
Huang Ping punched him hard, and he kept thinking of his younger sister. As the eldest brother, he had the duty to protect his younger siblings. In the end, not only did he fail to protect them well, but he was the one who took them to the street and was taken away.

The mother of the two brothers, Qian Shi, also went out with the old man Huang.
"Shouldn't you ask Xiao Da and Xiao Er to come over and help?"

The old man shook his head, "I can do it alone."

Looking from a distance, a large field is full of hopeful green. This is the wheat planted by Hanzhi County last year with everyone rushing for time.Between fields and fields, a dozen or so families also came out to work.

This field is now everyone's heart and soul, and many people wish they could eat and sleep here.In particular, I heard that there was a family in the next village whose field was trampled by several wolf dogs. Just talking about this matter made everyone feel pained, and they were even more afraid of something wrong with their own field.

People who have never been hungry or gnawed bark can't understand what old man Huang is feeling now. He is not afraid of being tired now, because what grows in the fields is grain.

"...Xiao Er is going to take the exam, but we don't even have any money, and Shu Xiu can't get it together. What do you think we should do?" Qian said worriedly while weeding.

In fact, their family was fine in the past, the old man was able to endure hardships, and the Qian family also had some dowry.But that change can be said to have directly made their family extremely poor, and begging for food in the first two years was not uncommon.

That is to say, they will not eat the disaster relief food provided by the Leshan County Government for the past two months.

"Why don't you let Xiao Er stop studying? Xiao Er has a quiet temper. Although she is smart, she will be bullied if she becomes an official. By that time, the family will also be poor in education, and the two children and daughters-in-law will not be able to marry. "

The old man Huang already knows how to work, and now he is obsessed with this land, his own land.

"But Xiao Er wants to read, why don't you let me? Don't think too much about it. Let's take care of this field first. My children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I only care about their bellies, not their heads. Those who want to study, I work hard. Think about it, I can’t help if I don’t want to study, Han Zhixian is a sensible person and understands a lot of truths, do you and I have that ink in our stomachs? What if we think wrong?”

The old man is in a good mood. He is a dead person, and now nothing can stop him from laughing, "Girl, don't be so sad all the time. Look up and look at this land, is it better now than last year?"

Mentioning this point, Qian Shi is very happy, she is still dreaming, "They all said that they are the princes of the imperial court, and they are ruthless in arresting and killing those corrupt officials. Xiaoer is a person who can read, and I don't know if he will be able to go there in the future." Jinluan Palace, go to repay the prince's great favor in the future."

"Look at you just said that you don't want him to stop reading. Hey, anyway, I don't think too much about it. What kind of treasure hall can he go to? When I get old, it will take a lot of effort to serve me a bowl of rice."

……

Huang Ping's book reading was not as good as his younger brother's, but he was brave. After complaining for a while, he pestered Huang An again, "Huang An, do you know where the county magistrate Han has been transferred?"

Huang An nodded in confusion, "It seems to be the capital."

"Become a high official?"

"It shouldn't be too small. The county magistrate is a seventh-rank official. Since the crown prince wants to use him, he must be a sixth-rank official."

"Then, what rank is the prince? Is this official very big?"

As soon as Huang An heard it, he knew that his eldest brother, although he was a nice person, really didn't read the book.

"The prince has no rank. The prince is the son of the Holy Majesty."

"Be good."

"They are all good people. After I study, I will work for such people and become a person like Han Zhixian."

Snapped.

Huang Ping hit one of his younger brothers on the head, "Master Juren in Han Zhi County, how about you?"

"I will also be a Juren!" The younger brother said stubbornly.

"Oh. Then I'll wait and see." Huang Ping rolled his eyes. He was going to help his father with work today, but he deliberately stayed because he actually wanted to talk to his brother about something.

In his heart, although his younger brother is a little stupid, he has read a lot.

"Huang An, in our village...in fact, there are high officials from the imperial court, do you know that?"

"Senior official? What high official?"

Huang Ping thought, "I don't know that these high-ranking officials don't wear official uniforms. Anyway, they ran into me and asked me a lot about the fields, and asked me if anyone would take over the fields again."

"This... I don't know either. When I go to the county and ask my classmates, maybe they know something,"

Ordinary people are like this.

Shouning Bo Zhang Heling and Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling are another world.

The prince is already in charge of the country, but the two brothers are still singing and dancing.

Because of Queen Zhang's favoritism, these two uncles want money, land and land, and their days are like gods.

Until recently, the servants of the mansion went to report to the two of them. At that time, they were watching a play in their own yard, with a beautiful artificial lake beside them, which made them feel at ease.

The servant whispered in Shouning uncle Zhang Heling's ear,
Zhang Heling frowned, "How is this possible? Who spread the false news! Let the master know that he must be taught a lesson!"

"Master, this matter is absolutely true. The Holy Dragon has already ordered His Highness to supervise the country without hesitation."

"To supervise the country is to supervise the country." Zhang Yanling ate melon seeds and said indifferently: "There are father and son. Today, the father will take care of it, and tomorrow the son will take care of it. This is a family matter, so what's the matter?"

This means that others didn't listen to him, and if they heard it, they would say that he was ignorant and rude.Governing the country is a very serious matter. How can you govern today and I govern tomorrow?

"Second Master, His Highness is mainly concerned about the imperial court and army. It is said that he wants to call back the more than 2 soldiers who built our mansion and the Chongzhen Palace in Xingji County!"

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were taken aback for a moment,
Then they all laughed, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"There are several 10 people in the Beijing camp, and there are [-] or [-] people who build city walls, Taoist temples, and temples. What's the matter? It's just the people here in our Zhang family?"

"But……"

"Be safe first and don't be impatient." Zhang Yanling stretched out his hand and gestured majesticly, "Take a step back, even if His Highness really has this will, it will only bring back those soldiers who built the city wall. Why? Will you move our people? Then the queen won't agree."

Zhang Heling also thought so, but the queen didn't give them any news.

It can't be so sudden, can it?
It's okay, it's okay.

"Go, go, get out! Don't get in the way here, and miss my scene."

In this way, the hearts of the two brothers were put in their stomachs.

Xingji County belongs to Beizhili, not far from the capital.

The next day, another news came.

This time it was someone from the capital, "Master and Second Master, it has already been spread in the capital, and His Royal Highness is quite dissatisfied with the progress of the previous army consolidation. After asking, I found out that it was the capital camp that was transferred to various places. The construction has gone. The Eldest Master and the Second Master had a bad relationship with His Highness last year, and people outside are saying that these projects in Xingji County must be stopped!"

"How is it possible?!" Shou Ningbo pinched his waist and stood up, "Chongzhen Palace was built for the Taoist old lady, and it was built for my Zhang family! Who dares to order this to stop?"

Zhang Yanling also yelled, "Brother! Go and investigate! Who is not good at finding out what happened in the 11th year of Hongzhi? This is clearly not paying attention to my brothers, and it is also trying to provoke us and His Highness." relation!"

Well, the person who came to report the next day was kicked out again.
But on the third and fourth day after that, there was more and more news from Beijing,

The two uncles really couldn't sit still,

"...Is this really the case? Your Highness really wants to recall the soldiers from the Beijing camp here?" Shou Ningbo began to mutter in his heart,
Uncle Jianchang didn't have so many thoughts, "Yes or not... Isn't it enough to go to the palace? Tomorrow, let's go to the palace."

Shou Ningbo also felt that it should be necessary.

Mainly, he didn't think it would be so sudden at first, but these two days things have become more and more real, and... last year when the prince spanked them, it was also very sudden,

No, that wasn't sudden at all, it was thunder from the sky that knocked him out all of a sudden.There were no signs, and they were spanked directly to bloom, and it took half a year to raise them.

"Second brother, just as you said, you will come to the palace with me tomorrow."

And this time, I can't go to the East Palace, so I have to go to Kunning Palace first!Someone summoned them to the East Palace on the way, and they found an excuse to go to Kunning Palace first!When we are so stupid!
So, one day in mid-February,
When the crown prince was practicing calligraphy, Liu Jin sneaked over from the outside and told him, "Your Highness, Uncle Shouning and Uncle Jianchang have entered the palace."

"Understood." Zhu Houzhao replied calmly, then curled the corners of his mouth, "Come here, change clothes."

These two idiots counted them [-] times, and they will be fooled [-] times.

In fact, he didn't need to think about it, he could guess what those two people said in Kunning Palace.It's nothing more than complaining, if you need to be more sincere, cry, the point is to let Queen Zhang take pity on them.

After changing clothes here, Liu Jin saw that Zhu Houzhao still had no intention of going out of the palace, so she asked, "Your Highness...where are you going?"

"Yes, stay safe and don't be impatient." Zhu Houzhao quietly picked up his pen and practiced his calligraphy, "He should be here soon."

as predicted.As soon as the prince's words fell, a little eunuch came outside and told, "His Royal Highness, the Queen has an order, please speak to His Royal Highness Kunning Palace."

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao didn't look up, and put down the pen after writing the last two words.
