There was chaos in front of the Tenth Prince's Palace. After all, these clan children had noble status. Even in a melee, the servants of the Tenth Prince's Palace did not dare to greet them and only dared to hit each other's guards. However, this group of clan children had no scruples. The gang members "killed everyone", especially the Prince of Xiangling. He became more and more addicted to beatings. He swung the long stick in his hand like flying, beating the opponent steadily and retreating.
Not to mention those who were usually arrogant and domineering, they followed Zhu Fanzhi and collided with each other. Those who were timid and did not dare to join in were not idle and stood aside to join in the fun with a smile.
"Well done, boss!"
"You're blind, kick him a**!"
"Hey, hey, boss, watch your back..."
The atmosphere team was jumping up and down next to them, directing the battle, and the onlookers were also watching with great enthusiasm. After all, it was not every day for aristocratic children to fight each other on the street.
However, this chaos was quickly stopped.
Not long after the fighting started, a group of people came from the east and west sides of the palace, including the city patrol censor who led the five-city army and horse department, and the government official who led three squads of government officials.
With their intervention, the two sides were quickly separated.
At the same time, the door of the palace was pushed open. Prince Xiang was sitting behind the door with a gloomy face. He opened his mouth and shouted at the censor patrolling the city.
"You bastards, there is such a big thing happening in the capital, so many people are openly causing trouble in front of the Tenth Prince's Palace, but you didn't come until now. You are simply derelict in your duty. What crime should you be punished for?"
Today's vassal kings are not as weak as they were in the late Ming Dynasty. Although they have been weakened several times, their status is still there. King Xiang is already law-abiding on weekdays, but in his own fiefdom, he is still rampant and has no control. Anyone dares to provoke him.
Although he is in the capital now, as the emperor's uncle and in charge of the clan affairs, all the people he comes in contact with are polite to him, whether it is the clan's children or the court ministers. How have he ever suffered such grievances?
Therefore, when he saw that the people from the Wucheng Army and Horse Department and Shuntian Mansion Office were late, he immediately scolded him.
The censor patrolling the city obviously did not dare to refute, but on this occasion, there was actually no need for him to speak, because as soon as King Xiang appeared, the clan members who had been blocked began to curse again, especially Zhu Fan. He hit the ground with a long stick in his hand, put his hands on his hips and began to curse.
"Old man, do you finally dare to take the lead?"
"Come on, come on, let me teach you what it means to respect your elders. You black-hearted thing. If your uncle Min King hadn't protected you back then, you would have gone back to your fiefdom by now. It's your turn. Are you showing off your authority here?"
"Even a country gangster knows that death is a big deal, and he behaves himself in front of the soul. You old man, you have lived so many years in vain. If the late emperor is still alive, he will be shocked when he sees your behavior. I’ll have to roast you alive!”
"presumptuous!"
These words were indeed bold, especially at the end. The curse was extremely vicious. A dark flash flashed in Zhu Zhanzhen's eyes, mixed with a trace of pain and fear. His whole body was shaking, even his shoulders. He couldn't care less about the pain in his body and kept saying.
"Lawlessness, lawlessness, how can you talk about the late emperor? Come here, take down this bastard for me. Today, I will kill you, bastard, on behalf of the late emperor!"
The people on the left and right were from the Tenth Prince's Palace, but after hearing what King Xiang said, they still hesitated for a while, not sure whether their master was speaking out of anger or the truth.
Until King Xiang looked at these fools, he was so angry that he almost jumped up and said angrily.
"What are you doing standing still? Can't you hear what I'm saying?"
Then, these people knew that their master was really angry, and a large group of people immediately poured out of the mansion and rushed toward Zhu Fan's site below with a fierce look.
Seeing this situation, the patrolling censor on the side suddenly felt his scalp numb. If he had known this, he would have arrived a little later.
How can I control the characters on these two sides?
Originally, the servants of the Tenth Prince's Mansion just wanted to drive these clan members away, so they did not dare to do anything harsh, and were even consciously or unconsciously afraid of hurting the people on the other side.
But now, with King Xiang's order, everything was carried by someone, so naturally he no longer had any scruples. He didn't even pay attention to the men and horses of the five cities below, and rushed towards this direction.
The young censor of the city sighed and stood silently in front of Zhu Fanzhi. It was their business for these clans to fight each other, but if anyone among them really got into trouble, he, the censor of the city, could I had to walk around without being able to eat.
However, just when the patrolling censor was about to act as a human shield for the young Prince Xiangling.
"stop!"
The sound of horse hoofs on the bluestone came roaring from far to near. Everyone followed the sound and saw a tall horse approaching the crowd. The reins were tightened, the hoofs were raised high, and the people on the horse were Wearing a python robe and a black crown, with a white face and no beard, he is suddenly the eunuch of Dongchang, Shu Liang!
Behind him, a group of hundreds of Tiqi followed neatly, looking impressive and majestic.
Obviously, the stop just now came from Shu Liang's mouth.
It has to be said that in the capital city, Dongchang's Tiqi are still very intimidating, especially when they are dispatched on such a large scale, but there are not many.
If nothing else, the last time Dongchang made such a high-profile deployment in the capital was a long time ago when the ministers of the Great Dynasty killed Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Therefore, Eunuch Shu's loud shout successfully made everyone present stop their movements, especially Prince Xiang, whose face suddenly became very ugly and said.
"Shu Liang, what are you doing here?"
Faced with Prince Xiang's knowing question, Shu Liang put on his trademark fake smile, got off his horse, and surrounded by a group of Tiqi, came to the Tenth Prince's Mansion. He bowed first, and then didn't say anything. When King Xiang reacted, he straightened up, looked around the field, and then said.
"Prince Xiang, don't you know why we are here?"
Such a frivolous attitude made Zhu Zhanzhen angry.
Speaking of which, Prince Xiang has felt like his teeth have been clogged even after drinking cold water these days.
The farce outside Prince Min's Mansion was certainly not a whim of his. Of course, it was not purely to vent his anger. However, it did have this factor.
However, the real reason is that in recent days, King Xiang has been keenly aware that there seems to be an atmosphere hostile to him brewing in the sect.
After carefully looking for many people to make insinuations, he found that it was Zhu Yincheng who was fanning the flames behind his back.
On the surface, this boy is polite and courteous in front of his concubines, he is open-minded and eager to learn, he is generous in front of his classmates, and he is righteous. From time to time, he helps some low-level clan members who are not having a good life, and helps stupid people like Zhu Fanzhi. Qing used cover and said good things for them in front of the Master, like a good and enthusiastic student.
But in fact, it’s full of bad water!
Most of Zhu Fanzhi's problems were caused by Zhu Yinqi!
He knew that Zhu Fanzhi liked to practice martial arts. Not only did he find various martial arts notes for him everywhere, but he also invited guards from various families to teach him moves. After going back and forth, the two of them became familiar with each other.
Later, he began to use the name of Zhu Fanzhi to "act chivalrously and righteously" and "give generously" in Zongxue, and soon won the admiration of a large number of people.
However, Zhu Fanzhi had a deep resentment towards him and was still a thorn in his side.
The reason why King Xiang had strict control over Zhu Fanzhi during this period was because he thought that he had found out that this gangster was secretly planning to entangle a large group of disciples from the sect and make trouble in the Ministry of Rites, so that he, a leftist, could be killed. The clan members were replaced.
Not only that, Zhu Yinqi also encouraged these disciples of the sect to write more letters to their families, describing how hard they had been in the sect and how hard they had been squeezed by a certain King Xiang who used chicken feathers as arrows. His intention was naturally it goes without saying.
After learning the news, Zhu Zhanzhen quickly realized that someone must be targeting him behind this.
And there is no need to think about the identity of this person, he must be... that old immortal King Min!
After all, people can still be emotional sometimes. Ever since King Min asked his family to beat Zhu Zhanxun in the Zongxue Hall, although he didn't say it, he still held a grudge in his heart.
When Zhu Yincheng got married last time, as a clan brother, he should go to congratulate her. However, he just gave him a gift and ignored it on the grounds that he was busy with the clan affairs.
Now that something like this happened again in the Zongxue Hall, and the culprit was Zhu Yincheng, he naturally pinned the mastermind behind this incident on King Min's head.
As for the reason, it is very simple. Naturally, it is to pave the way for the old man's fat son, King Zhennan.
At first, Zhu Zhanyi had not thought about this aspect, but when something happened to Zongxue and King Zhennan did not leave, his thoughts became more and more widespread, and he suddenly thought of the time when King Min supported him. The sick body entered the palace to propose marriage.
At that time, he felt strange. Is it necessary for a dignified prince to pursue the daughter of a mere earl?
Now it seems that this old man doesn't care about marriage at all, but just wants to find a reason to bring his fat son to Beijing.
Think about it, if King Zhennan is not in the capital, then once King Min dies of illness, then the position of Da Zongzheng will naturally belong to him.
However, the relationship between the old man and him is so bad now. Once he is responsible for managing the clan affairs, it would be strange not to deliberately target the Min King's line.
Besides, although the original case had been concluded as a solid case, Zhu Zhanzhen still felt that something was not quite right...
Therefore, in order to maintain the power of King Min's lineage and to continue to suppress him, this marriage was arranged.
Of course, King Zhennan was not qualified enough after all, so he secretly made these small moves to ruin his reputation.
After thinking about this, Zhu Zhanzhen felt that old and new grudges were coming up together, and he almost went to seek an explanation from King Min.
However, before he could pass by, the news of King Min's death came first. So, while he felt a bad breath in his heart, Zhu Zhanchen thought of King Min's "various arrangements" during this period.
Since King Min wants his fat son to take over the clan mansion, and he wants to ruin his reputation, then he will not let the other party do this!
The best way to ruin this matter is to reveal in advance the true face of King Zhennan who has been reluctant to leave the capital.
However, Zhu Zhanyi did not have any evidence, so he simply made the matter bigger, causing a scene outside Prince Min's Mansion, and spread an outrageous rumor, with the purpose of attracting the attention of the government and the public.
He believed that as long as everyone began to pay attention to the reason why Zhennan King Panhuan was in the capital, the truth would soon surface.
Things went smoothly, but what Zhu Zhanzhen didn't expect was that this King of Zhennan turned out to be a lunatic!
Which clan dares to use a stick if they disagree? And he was so cruel?
After being beaten with two sticks, he returned to his home and was told by the doctor that he had to rest for at least a year. Before Zhu Zhanzhen could get angry, troublemakers came again outside.
Originally, he knew that this bastard was outspoken and had a bad temper, so he didn't want to argue with him. But in the end, this kid went even further, and the more he scolded him, the more aggressive he became.
What's even more outrageous is that the bunch of bastards from Shuntian Mansion also hid and refused to come over. With no choice, Zhu Zhanchen could only send people out to drive these guys away.
But who would have thought that they would dare to take action?
Just do it, but listen to what that bastard said?
Roast yourself?
This is simply the most vicious curse that Zhu Zhanzhen could think of. Inexplicably, Prince Xiang remembered a scene he saw when he was a boy. He couldn't think of anything at the moment, and he was furious and wanted to arrest the person. .
But at this time, Shu Liang, the admiral of Dongchang, actually intervened. For a moment, Zhu Zhanzhen felt that he, Prince Xiang, was really a coward. Anyone could step on him. foot.
Seeing Shu Liang's hypocritical smile in front of him, Zhu Zhanzhen said with a stern expression and a cold snort.
"I don't care what you are here for. Today, I will deal with this bastard Zhu Fanzhi. It's useless for anyone to intercede!"
These words were categorical, and after they were said, Zhu Zhanchen felt a lot less angry. At the same time, a group of servants in the Tenth Prince's Mansion looked at each other, hesitating whether to continue taking action.
However, at this time, Shu Liang raised his brows and didn't say much. He just waved and the Tiqi behind him quickly came up.
However, the target of these Tiqi was obviously not Zhu Fanzhi, or in other words, not just Zhu Fanzhi. They quickly stepped forward and surrounded Zhu Fanzhi and the servants of the Ten Princes' Palace. Anyone who dares to act rashly will be punished on the spot.
This statement was too obvious, especially under the premise that Zhu Zhanzhen had just said such cruel words, it was simply a slap in his face.
Then, Shu Liang said calmly.
"Prince Xiang, what you said is a bit too absolute. You have to understand that this is the capital, not your fiefdom..."
As a result, Prince Xiang suddenly darkened his face, but this time, before he could speak, Shu Liang across from him stopped his smile and said solemnly.
"The Holy Spirit gave an oral order, and King Xiang Zhu Zhanchen accepted it!"
