Wang Shu saw that the situation was chaotic and already guessed that this was a premeditated action, but what he didn't expect was that these people were so bold as to dare to cause trouble openly.
Seeing the soldiers led by Song Jun, Tian Ru and others rushing up, Wang Shu hurriedly shouted: "I am the governor of the capital camp under the emperor's special decree. You must think clearly before you dare to come forward to cause trouble. I will arrest you all!" "
Song Jun waved his arms and shouted: "Brothers, don't listen to his threats, he will be alone, let's teach him a lesson!"
Wang Shu was about to draw his sword to defend when he suddenly heard a shout: "Stop! Anyone who dares to take another step forward will be killed without mercy!" When Wang Shu saw the man at the school gate, he let out a sigh of relief and knew that he was saved. Song Jun, who was about to rush to the commander's platform, saw a look of surprise in the eyes of the man at the gate of the school grounds. He immediately stopped and did not dare to take another step forward. The other soldiers following him also slowed down and looked at the gate of the school grounds.
"It's your lord," a soldier yelled.
Everyone stopped.
The British Duke Zhang Mao looked at Wang Shu who was on the general stage and then at Song Jun and Tian Ru who were leading the rebellion. He knew that these two people were Zhang Heling's domestic slaves. In fact, Zhang Heling had talked to him several times not long ago. It was because of Zhang Luan's face that he had to promise Zhang Heling not to embarrass his slaves. I didn't expect that his domestic slave would be so wanton and want to beat Wang Shu. Wang Shu even had to be polite when speaking to his British father-in-law. You, a domestic slave, want to make trouble on Tai Sui's head?
Seeing the British Duke approaching with a cold face, Song Jun and Tian Ru, who were leading the rebellion, were a little frightened, but those who followed him had no fear. After all, beating a dog depends on the owner.
"You took the lead?" Zhang Mao glared at Song Jun fiercely.
Song Jun's heart trembled: "It's a subordinate..."
With a snap, the scabbard in Zhang Mao's hand flashed across Song Jun's face like lightning. After the scabbard passed, a blood mark immediately appeared on Song Jun's face.
All the soldiers were stunned immediately. Zhang Mao shouted loudly: "Disarmament is His Majesty's wish. Your dissatisfaction is your dissatisfaction. Your Majesty is so cowardly today that you dare to gather people to cause chaos. Do you know what crime this is?"
"Death penalty!" All the soldiers answered loudly, obviously they knew Zhang Mao's intention.
Wang Shu saw clearly what was going on below the generals on the commanding platform. The Song Jun who was beaten was much more honest, but Tian Ru next to him still stretched his neck with disdain on his face, and rolled his eyes at himself from time to time.
Wang Shu slowly walked down from the stage. Zhang Mao quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "I was late. Brother Zong Guan was frightened. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, whose slave are you?" Wang Shu replied to Zhang Mao and walked straight towards Tian Ru and asked. Everyone was confused by this question. It was well known to everyone that most of the servants of courtiers came to register in the capital camp.
But everyone tacitly said it, as if it was a secret known to everyone, including the British Duke Zhang Mao. But now he was asked directly and to the point by Wang Shu in front of all the soldiers. Zhang Mao on the side was a little overwhelmed by Wang Shu's question.
Zhang Mao knew in advance that Zhang Heling was dissatisfied with the disarmament, but what he never expected was that the young master would actually instruct his own slaves to cause trouble, and the person he provoked was none other than Wang Shu. He might have overestimated Wang Shu. , Wang Zongguan does not accept your tricks, and he is not a good person to talk to.
Facing Wang Shu's cold question, Tian Ru did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all. He still raised his head arrogantly and said: "Old man, listen carefully, my master is Zhang Heling, the younger brother of the current queen!"
Hearing Tian Ru's answer, Zhang Mao was shocked and shouted: "How can you talk, bastard?" After saying this, he was about to raise the scabbard and draw it away, but Wang Shu waved his hand to stop him.
"What a powerful domestic slave. They say it's just a dog fighting for power, and it seems to be true now. Do you know what the consequences will be if you take the lead in causing rebellion in the capital camp?"
Tian Ruzu was originally a Yunnan chieftain who was unexpectedly summoned by Zhang Heling to serve as a domestic slave. The reason why he dared to speak like this was because he had seen with his own eyes the condescending manner in which Zhang Heling spoke to the British Duke. When necessary, Zhang Mao had to bow to Zhang Heling. . As far as he knew, Zhang Heling was a well-known figure in the capital. His brother-in-law was the emperor, his sister was the queen, and his father was the head of the country. Who else in the capital could have such a prominent background as their master? In addition, Zhang Heling often boasted in front of him that I was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the capital!
Seeing his silly brother speak so boldly, Song Jun not only felt worried for him, but also kept tugging at Tian Ru's sleeves in private, signaling that he was in big trouble.
Tian Ru was unmoved at all. He sneered a few times and replied: "I know, it's a death penalty. But do you dare to lay a finger on me?"
Wang Shu didn't say anything and stared straight at Tian Ru. However, the British man beside him was anxious to go up and slap Tian Ru hard in the face to clear his mind for this bastard.
"Old man, don't you dare..." Before Tian Ru finished speaking, a flash of sword light flashed, and his head rolled bloody to the ground.
Everyone was horrified. Wang Shu sheathed his sword and said in a cold voice: "This person is lawless, takes the lead in causing chaos, and commits the following crimes. He has been dealt with by military law. If there is a similar situation again, this person will end up like this, and I will not be lenient." !”
After Wang Shu finished speaking, he returned to the general stage and began to speak what he had just finished. The strange thing was that no one dared to make trouble this time. Everyone lined up in several straight lines to listen to Wang Shu's speech, including the British Duke of Ming Dynasty. Zhang Mao.
----------------------------
In the evening, Zhu Youtang was lying on the dragon table in the west Nuange Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, sketching something and rubbing his waist from time to time. In order to fulfill his original promise in the past two days, he allowed Empress Zhang to have fun every night. I stayed in Kunning Palace for several days. I couldn't do anything anymore today, so I begged Queen Zhang for mercy in advance.
Seeing Zhu Youtang rubbing his waist all day long, and knowing where the emperor had been these past few days, Wynn naturally had the answer in his mind, and worriedly said: "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!"
Zhu Youtang looked at Wynn's eyes that said, "I know everything." He thought to himself: "This old guy actually tells the truth."
At this time, He Ding trotted in and said, "Your Majesty, something big has happened."
Well, a big deal? Zhu Youtang stopped writing and asked, "Calm down your mood and say slowly, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, Wang Shu, who was specially summoned to the capital by you, was ordered by the emperor to preside over the disarmament of the capital camp. Today he had a conflict with soldiers. Wang Shu beheaded a soldier on the spot." This was the post he sent to He Ding. Carefully presented it to Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang originally thought that Wang Shu was just a stubborn and honest man with a straightforward personality, but he could actually do something? It seems that not everything recorded in history books is correct.
Zhu Youtang opened the memorial and looked at it. It was written by Wang Shu himself. It mainly talked about two things. One is to report on the origin, process, and results of what happened at the Beijing Camp today. The important thing is that a key figure was mentioned in it—Zhang Heling. The second thing is to ask Zhu Youtang about the aftermath of the soldiers' disarmament and the pension expenses.
"Zhang Heling?" Zhu Youtang chanted this name repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Heling is the eldest son of Lord Zhang and the younger brother of the Queen." Wynn reminded from the side.
"Yes, why does it sound so familiar? It turns out it's this beast!" Zhu Youtang said excitedly, slapping his thigh fiercely.
Huaien and He Ding looked at each other and looked at Zhu Youtang. Why did the emperor suddenly call his brother-in-law a beast?
The names of the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Boling were no worse than that of his sister, Queen Zhang. These two brothers were notorious and relied on the power of Queen Zhang to do evil. According to historical records, these two men dared to rape a maid in the palace and wear Emperor Hongzhi's Yishan crown. The eunuch He Ding beside them also died because of them. In this way, because Emperor Hongzhi favored Empress Zhang, not only did so many ridiculous things happen, he was not punished, but he still protected her.
What Zhu Youtang is thinking in his heart is that I am not the Hongzhi Emperor in history. I will not protect you and spoil you. If you dare to break the law, I will kill your relatives with justice!
When he remembered who Zhang Heling was, Zhu Youtang immediately understood what happened today. Although in the memorial, maybe because Zhang Heling was his brother-in-law, Wang Shu rarely mentioned him, and mostly said What's interesting is how rampant this domestic slave is. But Zhu Youtang understands that dogs rely on human power! It must be that my bastard brother-in-law is arrogant and thinks that I am the best in the world! Secretly signaling to his domestic slaves to stir up trouble and cause a riot in the capital, otherwise a mere domestic slave would dare to challenge an important official of the imperial court?
Zhu Youtang picked up a piece of paper on the dragon case and handed it to He Ding and said: "He Ding, I still need you to go to the post house where Wang Shu is, hand this piece of paper to him, and tell him that Beijing The aftermath of the battalion’s disarmament is all on this piece of paper.”
He Ding took the piece of paper from Zhu Youtang and saw that it was filled with densely packed small characters. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will personally hand it over to Lord Wang."
-------------------
In the post house, Wang Shu was flipping through the roster of the Beijing camp. He found that only 23/10 of the people in the Beijing camp were old, weak, sick, and disabled, while those who were nobles of the imperial court, domestic slaves of royal family members, and those who had military status and were paid empty wages actually accounted for 10% of the total. Fifty-sixths out of ten, which means that only twenty-three out of ten young and strong men are left to fight.
If these cancers are not completely eliminated, the armament of the capital camp will be abandoned sooner or later, and the imperial capital will be nothing more than an empty city in name only.
While Wang Shu was thinking, there was a sudden movement outside the door. Wang Shu thought it was another lackey of an important minister coming to visit, so he straightened his back and stared in the direction of the door, preparing to refuse.
What I saw entering the room was not the lackeys of the important ministers, nor the officials who begged me to join them in the water, but He Ding, the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor.
I saw He Ding holding the imperial edict and shouting loudly: "Wang Shu, the emperor has issued an edict."
Upon hearing the emperor's order, Wang Shu hurriedly stood up and knelt down. Upon seeing this, his wife, children, and children also knelt down and listened to the instructions.
