Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Dengwen drums have been set up outside the court hall, allowing people to beat the drums to complain about grievances.
Until the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian nobles did not care about the people at the bottom, and the Dengwengu system was therefore abandoned.
At the beginning of the establishment of the daimyo, Zhu Yuanzhang followed the previous Han dynasty systems and ordered people to set up Denwen drums at the entrance of the palace so that those who had been wronged could come here to beat the drums and complain about their grievances, and the emperor would personally hear the cases.
But those who are wronged are often ordinary people. They are timid and fearful, and live very cautiously. Even if they are wronged, sometimes they don't even have the courage to go to the government to complain. Who has the courage to come to the palace gate to beat drums and complain?
Therefore, in all the years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Dengwen drum has never been beaten.
The ones responsible for guarding the main entrance of the palace are also the Jin Yiwei, and they naturally take care of the Dengwen drum in front of the palace.
There was silence in front of the palace gate, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Ren.
The person on duty at the palace gate today is Feng Hong, a member of the Jinyi Guards family. Because of his majestic appearance and good conduct, he is always on duty here whenever there is a large court meeting.
Although he didn't have much interaction with Zhang Ren and was not a close acquaintance, he still knew him.
Seeing Zhang Ren standing in front of the Dengwen drum, Feng Hong immediately stepped out of the queue and asked loudly: "If there is an injustice, you can beat the drum to complain!"
After saying this, Feng Hong lowered his voice and said: "Zhang Ren, you are still waiting for participation. What is the important thing for you to come here? You are still young, so you must not be reckless."
Of course Feng Hong knew that he was favored by Luo Kedi, Zhu Yuanzhang and others, but today Zhang Ren came to the gate of the palace while he was waiting to serve. It was really inappropriate. However, thinking that he was also a royal guard, Feng Hong kindly reminded a few sentence.
Zhang Ren smiled at Feng Hong and cupped his hands, accepting Feng Hong's kindness, but then he looked up at the Dengwen drum in front of him and said, "I came here today because I had a grievance!"
After hearing this, Feng Hong didn't say much. He had already reminded him what needed to be reminded. As for Zhang Ren's choice, it had nothing to do with him.
Today Lan Yu also came to attend the morning court. He narrowed his eyes slightly but did not speak. Instead, he glanced at a civil servant behind him.
The civil servant's name was Zhan Hui, who was the censor of Bozuo Qiandu in Dongguan. He had a close personal relationship with Lan Yu, and he understood Lan Yu's meaning from just one look.
I saw Zhan Hui nodding towards Lan Yu, and then shouted directly at Zhang Ren: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no one who went home to wait for help has dared to disobey His Majesty's order and leave the house privately. Zhang Ren, what are you doing today?" When you leave the mansion, where will you put your majesty?"
Zhan Hui looked furious and walked to Zhang Ren as he spoke. Zhan Huinai was a civil servant and worked in the Inspectorate. He was not good at doing things, but he was best at condemning others from the commanding heights.
There were many courtiers who had good personal relationships with Lan Yu. The reason why Lan Yu chose Zhan Hui was because he valued Zhan Hui's verbal ability. On the other hand, Lan Yu heard about Zhang Ren's combat prowess and knew that he had almost no one on his side. Can suppress this kid with force.
Zhang Ren looked up at Zhan Hui, who was nearly fifty years old, and said, "I'm going to hit you. Some people will definitely say that I don't respect the elderly, but like you, you feel that you are standing on the highest moral point and you can criticize others casually. You are really annoying. You'd better get away, otherwise I might not be able to help but beat you. It's really hard not to vent the anger in my heart. By the way, what's your surname? ?What’s your mother’s surname?”
Zhan Hui was indeed a good talker. When it came to arguing the truth, few people in the court were his opponents. However, Zhan Hui had never seen the curse words of Zhang Ren and other businessmen.
He has never been insulted like this before.
Zhan Hui pointed at Zhang Ren tremblingly and said, "I kindly advise you to be kind, but you insult me like this? It's really an insult to gentlemen! It's an insult to gentlemen!"
Zhang Ren glanced sideways at Zhan Hui, and also lost his temper, and said: "Persuading me to do good? What on earth do you have in mind? You don't have a point in your heart? I have a grievance, and I want to be superior. Why do you, old guy, stop me?" I?"
Zhan Hui was so angry that he still seemed to have forgotten Zhang Ren's amazing martial arts. He grabbed Zhang Ren's sleeve tightly and shouted loudly: "It's useless that you are still a student of Zhan Shifu! Huang Zicheng taught you this? How can you
How is this speech different from that of a shrew in the market? I feel deeply ashamed to serve as an official in the same court as someone like you! "
Zhang Ren is indeed not good at studying, but this has nothing to do with Huang Zicheng. In Zhang Ren's heart, he actually respects Huang Zicheng very much.
Zhang Ren was not angry but smiled, but his smile looked a little cold, "You old guy is full of benevolence, justice and morality, but you dare to say that your official position is clean? If you are clean, why do you stop me? Complaint? You are flirting with me, how are you any different from a street shrew? Did I steal your wife or sleep with your daughter?"
The courtiers present were all polite people. Even the generals, no one would greet others in such vulgar language, but today Zhang Ren did so.
The surrounding courtiers pointed at Zhang Ren and criticized him constantly, almost drowning him in spitting foam.
Of course, there are also many courtiers who are watching the fun with the mentality that it has nothing to do with themselves.
Fortunately, Zhang Ren was thick-skinned, and he didn't care whether he was criticizing or watching the fun, he just felt noisy.
Zhang Ren doesn't care, but Zhan Hui cares about his face. He can be sure that even if Zhang Ren is beheaded by His Majesty, he will definitely become the laughing stock of everyone in the future. How can the arrogant Zhan Hui accept this? Looking at the people around him, he was extremely angry, "Zhang Ren! I will fight with you today!"
Seeing that Zhan Hui was about to take action, Zhang Ren said: "Old man! You are really shameless!"
Zhang Ren said, he has already grabbed Zhan Hui's wrist. Zhang Ren is young and has strong hands. Even if he did not use his internal strength, Zhan Hui's old bones cannot deal with it.
Zhan Hui's face turned the color of pig liver, and he didn't know whether he was angry or exerting force. Anyway, he had used all his strength at this moment, but he still couldn't break free from Zhang Ren's big hand.
Zhang Ren frowned and said angrily towards Zhan Hui: "Get out!"
Zhang Ren secretly used some inner strength to throw Zhan Hui away. He used some skills in this inner strength. Although Zhan Hui was thrown far away, he was not injured.
Zhan Hui landed on his butt. When he was flying in the air, he suddenly remembered Zhang Ren's power, but he also knew that regret was useless. He thought he would die, but after landing, except for some pain in his butt, he felt no discomfort at all.
Zhan Hui was stunned on the spot, sitting on the ground and looking around. He really felt that he couldn't save his face, so he could only blink and pretend to faint.
Zhan Hui had a high official position. When he saw him fainting, many courtiers gathered around him. Whether it was true or false, the officials who surrounded him checked Zhan Hui's breath and found out that he was still alive. He turned around and glared at Zhang Ren.
Lan Yu shook her head. Zhan Hui was not young, but perhaps because of his high self-esteem, his temperament was not steady at all.
Zhang Ren looked at those eyes that could cut him alive, and said with disdain: "Don't accept it? Come and bite me if you don't accept it!"
Although many people were itching with hatred, they did not take action and no one spoke. After all, Zhan Hui had learned from his past mistakes and no one wanted to be the next laughing stock.
Seeing that no one bothered him anymore, Zhang Ren turned his head again and looked at Deng Wengu in front of him. Ever since the murder case of Li Gui, Zhang Ren had been at odds with the Marquis of Pingliang. The Marquis of Pingliang and his wife trafficked people, resold arms, and stole other people's property. At the same time, he also has a close relationship with Jiumen.
But Pinglianghou has a transcendent status in the army, and his disciples and former officials are all over the army. Moreover, Pinglianghou carried out a massacre in Yunnan, killing the natives there with fear. It can be said that as long as Pinglianghou is there, the natives of Yunnan will be killed. If the Marquis of Pingliang dies, the Yunnan natives are likely to rebel, and the border troops there are also likely to rebel.
For the sake of border peace, no one dared to touch the Marquis of Pingliang, and Zhu Yuanzhang always left him alone.
But today is different from the past. Mu Ying has arrived in Yunnan. Although Zhang Ren does not know Mu Ying, he has heard of Yunnan Mu Prince’s Palace in martial arts and TV before traveling. Now that Mu Ying is in place, he must be able to intimidate Yunnan. The natives and frontier troops.
So now, it's time to settle the matter with Ping Lianghou.
Of course, Zhang Ren's visit today is indeed a gamble. After all, he is still at home, and the news came from Jiang Yu.
Come.
Although Zhang Ren felt that Jiang Wei was pretty good to him, he also felt that Jiang Wei was very dangerous and many of Jiang Wei's actions were incomprehensible.
Jiang Wei had a lot of evidence about the Marquis of Pingliang. If he wanted to move to the Marquis of Pingliang, Jiang Wei only had to hand over these evidences to Zhu Yuanzhang, but Jiang Wei did not do this. He just sent a thousand-faced man to inform Zhang chariot.
Zhang Ren didn't know what he would face after today. It might be Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, or it might be peace.
Although it was a bit of a risk, since he traveled back in time, he had to be worthy of the one-way ticket. As Feng Hong said, Zhang Ren was still young, and since he was young, he always had to do crazy things that young people should do.
He took the drumstick that was already gathering dust on the side and hit the Denwen drum hard.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Dengwen Drum has finally sounded for the first time. It has finally ushered in its role. This incident will definitely make the whole world pay attention. If Zhang Ren wins, the officials in the world will restrain themselves a lot, and the people will Life will be slightly better in the Ming Dynasty where productivity is insufficient, but if Zhang Ren loses, I am afraid that no one will beat the Dengwen drum again.
The sound of drums was as dense as raindrops, and Zhang Ren vented the rage in his heart. Sun Ping could not die in vain, Liuli could not die in vain, and Yuanbao could not die in vain. The Marquis of Pingliang colluded with Jiumen and did all the bad things. He is the one who deserves to die. people.
The drum beat was raging and lingered at the entrance of the palace for a long time, just like the endless shouting of the people who were killed by Jiumen and Pingliang Hou.
