eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 174 Climbing and biting!involve!

It was the end of autumn, and after leaving the capital, the road was covered with withered yellow. More than 5000 officers and soldiers marched along the official road. It was impossible for these people to bring their own rations, and some had to buy them along the way.

Normally, sometimes the prefectures, prefectures, and counties have to provide some food for the army, but the accumulation from the 12th to the 17th year of Hongzhi, the prince now has a private treasury, so he will not eat food from various places Free food does not require money from the user department.

Pay more and earn more.

This trip to Zhejiang, how can I come back empty-handed.

The dryness of the North China Plain caused dust to fly when the army crossed the border. Zhang Yong spit on the edge from time to time, because there is always a feeling of eating dirt on his tongue.

The original commander of Tengxiang Zuowei was Bo Maorong of Nanning, and now he has returned home.In the 15th year of Hongzhi, he was dismissed and replaced by Chang Fei, who had studied in a military academy.

Chang Fei is the second son of Huaiyuan Hou Changfu, and he is 28 years old now.

This Huaiyuan Hou Chang family is the descendant of Kaiping Wang Chang Yuchun.

The Chang family was not bad at first, they were relatives of Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao back then, but in the later history, the throne did not go to Zhu Biao's head.

In fact, the Chang family began to decline from the Yongle Dynasty.

Until the fifth year of Hongzhi, the emperor was benevolent and felt that the descendants of heroes should not be left in the wild.Therefore, a decree was issued: the Taimiao should be given to all the heroes, and the gifts given to the king will all assist the emperor's ancestors in calming the world and have made great contributions.But the descendants may not be rewarded with an inch of salary, and they will be reduced to gangsters.I can't bear it, the director can ask for his descendants, grant an official as much as he can, and worship the ancestors.

Afterwards, Chang Yuchun's heir, Chang Fu, was transferred from Yunnan to Nanjing, where he was appointed the commander of Nanjing Jinyi Weishi, and his two sons were also taken to Nanjing.

In the 12th year of Hongzhi, the prince suddenly opened a military academy in Beijing.

The disciples of all the nobles were quite envious of this, and Emperor Hongzhi also mentioned to the prince that he wanted to give the nobles some opportunities.

Like Chang Fu, Marquis of Huaiyuan, his Nanjing Jinyi guard position can be hereditary, but his second son has nowhere to go.So I went to the emperor and hoped that the military academy would give them a place.

The story after that is not complicated.

Although it is difficult for the descendants of the Chang family to have the heroism of General Chang Yuchun back then, Chang Fei is still serious and conscientious. At first, Zhu Houzhao didn't let him learn from him, so he first poured in him the deeds of General Chang Yuchun back then. Brain, don't embarrass your ancestors.

Chang Fei didn't have much talent, he was serious about things, and he didn't talk much. Such a person had mediocre abilities and tended to be particularly obedient.

Tengxiang Zuowei is a first-class guard led by Zhu Houzhao. Chang Fei, Chang Fu and others all changed their fate because of Emperor Hongzhi.

The two father and son are naturally loyal to Zhu Houzhao and his father.

In addition, there are no such famous generals as Chang Yuchun and Qi Jiguang for the prince to choose.It's good to have a reassuring person by your side to keep yourself safe.

In the military academy, many people have become the prince's confidantes.

Chang Fei has this status and the honor of his ancestors, as long as he performs his duties conscientiously, there is no doubt that he will be prosperous and rich with the crown prince in the future.

So now the commander has nothing to worry about, anyway, if he wants to go to Zhejiang, then he will set off.He took out the textbook he had in his pocket about how the army should march as taught by the military academy, and arranged it step by step.

This kind of rigidity is very fatal in the military, but it is still possible to deal with basic situations within the country, not on the grassland.

Besides, there is Zhang Yongzai.

As for the post of Uncle Nanning that Mao Yuwen was thinking about...

He is still short of some credit.

This is what he thought, so that the literati said that they were factories and Wei gangsters, in his opinion, it was all noise.

While walking on the road, Mao Yuwen was still thinking. Hongzhi has been quiet for a long time since 12 years, and he doesn't want to miss this time.

"Eunuch Zhang, I have a suggestion." The Maoyu literati dangled on the tall horse, which he specially selected from the Northwest Racecourse.

Zhang Yong remembered the prince's evaluation of Mao Yuwen, so he immediately replied, "Say it."

"The lower officials thought that they should send someone to Jing'an County, Jiangxi Province."

The place name is nothing, but Zhang Yong quickly realized, "That's Zhang Sheng's hometown. What are you sending people there for?"

Mao Yuwen analyzed: "The dignified minister of rites, the second-rank official of the court, even if he made some mistakes, with the habits of the emperor, he would not kill him easily. Even if His Royal Highness is stricter, Ma Wensheng, Wu Kuan, etc. Waiting for others is to demote and become an official. How serious is Zhang Shengwei's crime that makes him feel that there is no possibility of survival, is it treason?"

This is impossible.Don't even think about it.

Zhang Yongruo thoughtful,
This kid is really a brainy person as His Highness said.

Mao Yuwen then said: "Since it was not a conspiracy, then the situation, the situation in Zhejiang, killed him. But father-in-law, think about what Wei Bin did."

"Wei Bin... is begging His Highness to spare him."

"Then why can't Zhang Sheng do this?"

"You mean, Zhang Sheng is protecting his family?"

The eunuch didn't have such concerns, so it's normal for Zhang Yong to be unexpected.

Mao Yuwen was not sure, but he thought it was a possibility, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites just died like this. The deceased is the most important. The court should give him what he should give. But if he doesn't die, he will be punished with death and life. At that time, everything about him will be gone, and it may even affect his family."

"But his death will also shock the imperial court. Under the strict investigation of the imperial court, what can they hide?"

"Maybe..." Mao Yuwen thought of a possibility that made him feel more nervous, "Maybe Zhang Shangshu thinks that even if the court strictly investigates, nothing will be found, and everything will remain the same at that time."

This is just a guess,
But His Highness may also think so.

That's why Tengxiang Zuowei came out in full force.

"Hmph." Zhang Yong bared his lips in disdain, "The Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty of the emperor and His Highness. If His Highness wants to investigate, how can there be nothing that can't be found out? You and I dare to go where Zhang Sheng dare not go. You and I dare to arrest people Zhang Cheng dares not arrest. Corrupt officials are full of schemes, but when the knife is on their necks, can they turn the world upside down?"

This was actually said by Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yong at the beginning, and now Zhang Yong and Mao Yuwen said it.

Mao Yuwen's blood is also spurting, and he has the advantage of working under the prince.The thighs hugged are right, and no one dares to pat their chests and say that my backstage is bigger than yours if they want to deal with anyone.

"Then over there in Jing'an County..."

Zhang Yong nodded, "Yes."

In this case, there will be a small group of Jinyiwei heading towards Jiangxi along the official road on the way.

At this time, Zhejiang had not yet received a single word from the imperial court. For them, Wang Hua was just sending the case file up.

Officials at all levels estimated that Jingli probably just received the news.

Everything else is calm.

It was not until the beginning of November that voices began to be heard one after another, saying that the Minister of Rites of the imperial court had committed suicide.

Later, some officials circulated that the suicide of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was related to the case in Zhejiang.

In short, Zhejiang is approaching what is happening in the capital step by step.

The speed of Zhang Yong's army is naturally not as fast as a single horse,

On this day, Li Yancai suddenly received a message from Kuaima, saying that Tengxiang Zuowei had already traveled to South Zhili.When he heard the news, he fell off the warm bed in an instant.

"It's over, it's over, why is the first-class guard in the capital transferred to Zhejiang at this time?!"

Before he could digest it,
Dang Shanji broke into his backyard directly, and as soon as they met, the two pale-faced people seemed to understand each other's mind.

"heard?"

Li Yancai was speechless for a while, and nodded with difficulty, "Yes...is it true?"

Gudong!

Dang Shanji swallowed, "Really!"

"Ah!" Li Yancai burst into tears suddenly, "What is the prince trying to do! There are no rebels or civil uprisings in Zhejiang, who is this aimed at!"

Dang Shanji sat on the stool, propping up the table with one hand, without saying a word.

While the candle was flickering, his face was illuminated and dimmed.

"Speak up!" Li Yancai was dying of anxiety, "Aren't you good at talking before? Why are you so deep now?!"

"What did I say?" Dang Shanji patted the back of his right hand on the palm of his left hand, making a 'slap' sound, "We don't know what Jingli means! Now we only know that Tengxiang Zuowei is coming to Zhejiang, let me say What? When it came to the Wei Bin case, the governor Wang Hua also nodded his head. He belongs to the crown prince. How do I know why in this situation?"

Referring to the Wei Bin case,
Li Yancai remembered the picture of this guy arguing with him for the money.

With grief, indignation and despair in his heart, he went up to pinch Dang Shanji's neck in his unlined clothes regardless of the cold winter night, "It's you pig who hurt me! At the beginning I said this matter was strange, take less, and you insisted on teasing me behind." Me! It's you!"

It's ridiculous to say,
Two provincial officials and middle-aged fat men with little strength actually wanted to solve the problem with their fists at this time.

After all, Dang Shanji still acted as an envoy, with some force. Seeing Li Yancai coming up to scuffle with him, he pushed him to the ground and shouted: "Do you think you can change anything by taking less? You are a political envoy in Zhejiang, and you have no money." , who will work for you? You won’t be in the same dust as the light, and anything can trick you at that time, and you will still end up in the same way!”

"Fart! I think it's you who set me up!"

Snapped!
Dang Shanji actually slapped him, "Calm down! Tengxiang Zuowei may not necessarily be targeting us! Besides, at this time, the two of us can have internal strife, isn't it because our own hurts our own?!"

"I hurt your mother's head!"

Li Yancai was slapped and became even more angry, "Anyway, I'm dead, you dare to hit me, I will fight you today."

This is the hysteria when facing death threats. At this time, a punch doesn't hurt so much, so these two people started to fight each other. Of course, with their physical strength, they couldn't fight each other for long.

Before half an incense stick, the two of them sat on the ground in disheveled clothes, panting.

Li Yancai is like a defeated rooster, "...or, let's think of a way."

"What do you think?"

As soon as this guy got down to business, his mind stopped turning.

Li Yancai couldn't get angry now, and he didn't want to get angry anymore. He said slowly: "If according to the case file we sent, even if there are some minor problems, it won't mess with Tengxiang Zuowei. In my opinion, there is something on Wang Hua's side." What is hiding from us..."

Dang Shanji couldn't move such a fine-grained mind, he only had one ruthless energy, "If the crown prince really came to arrest us and sent Grade A guards to suppress the field, then we have only one way, which is to bite! Pull! The whole Zhejiang , and even people from the capital are involved, let's see how he kills it then!"
