Build Changbo Mansion.
Zhang Yanling finished her dinner and was so drunk that she asked someone to order a group of people and prepared to take them out.
"Second Master, we've got everyone here. There are more than sixty people. Even if someone gets into trouble, we won't be afraid!"
A young boy stood in front of Zhang Yanling, with an iron plate tied to his chest like a heart shield, and a stick in his hand.
Zhang Yanling scolded: "Who dares to cause trouble if you don't open your eyes? I'm just going to beat whoever I don't like!"
This kind of night is a daily routine for Zhang Yanling, and then he said hello: "Go and say hello to the people in the Jiaofang Division, let the girls with the prefix "Kui" wash and wipe the flowers for me to wait, I'm going up A hut... just go. Longgrigrand."
"Okay!"
The hairy boy just ran out.
Zhang Yanling was still squatting in the hut, but he heard a commotion in the yard.
"Second Master..."
"Which bastard son of a bitch disturbed me when I went to the toilet? Are you looking for death? I can't be quiet even if I just take a shit?"
"He's from Dongchang. Eunuch Xiao, the master of Dongchang, came in person and said he wanted to ask you for questioning."
"What?"
Zhang Yanling came out with confusion and curses.
I saw the people led by Xiao Jing, the governor of Dongchang, holding knives and confronting the Zhang family nurse in the yard. These people were from the relatives' house, and they seemed not to even take Dongchang seriously.
This is related to Zhang Yanling's daily "discipline". No matter what princes, generals or ministers the other party is, the two brothers of the Zhang family in the Ming Dynasty are not afraid. Whoever dares to step back will not be able to make a living with him.
Therefore, this group of people who know how to build the Changbo Mansion have to do it even if they don't.
"Xiao Jing, you are really capable. You bring people to my house. Are you not afraid that I will sue my sister directly?"
Zhang Yanling said to Xiao Jing in a threatening tone.
Xiao Jing grimaced and said with a smile: "Uncle, please forgive me, isn't it? Our family has just come out of Kunning Palace. His Majesty and the Queen have asked you to clean up and go to Beizhen Fusi. There is something wrong. ...You have to ask clearly.”
"Beizhen Fusi? Damn it, I won't go!"
Zhang Yanling felt that she was not stupid, and Beizhen Fusi was not a good place, so why should she go?
"Uncle Guo, you may not know that Beizhen Fusi has specially arranged a residence for you. In addition to bringing the necessary things, it is up to you who you want to take with you, that is... in the future, where will you be? You can't go, you have to stay in Beizhen Fusi. This is His Majesty's order. If you don't abide by it, then Dongchang..."
"What's going on? If I don't go, you still dare to mess around?"
Xiao Jing said helplessly: "Then I can only offend you."
"Depend on!"
"Are you looking for death? Believe it or not, I'll skin you all?"
Before Zhang Yanling could say anything, his group of men started to make noise.
Xiao Jing frowned when he heard this.
People from three mountains and five mountains, some even dressed in strange clothes, why are there such a bunch of monsters in Jianchang Bo's Mansion? Even Dongchang doesn't look down on those who talk and yell, are they tigers or fools?
It doesn't look like a serious nursing home!
"Uncle, you see, this is an edict. Also, if you have anything, you can ask someone to send a message to the Queen. Please make it convenient."
"Unless I have met my sister, brother-in-law, and they told me personally, who knows whether they are pretending to pass the edict?"
"Then uncle Guo is offended. Dongchang has brought more than 200 cavalry this time. Please make it easier for you! Come here!"
…
…
Jianchangbo Mansion was very lively.
It lasted until the second watch, and Xiao Jing finally completed what he had explained. Zhang Yanling finally arrived at Beizhen Fusi in his own carriage. The carriage behind also carried Zhang Yanling's three concubines and two cooks. , a follower and three maids...
After arriving at Fusi, Beizhen, they were given a separate courtyard. The entrance could not be guarded by Jinyi guards, but had to be guarded by people who built the Changbo Mansion.
As for Zhang Yanling's special requirements, such as the need for opera singers, storytellers, and even the entry and exit of people from the Jiaofang Division, Dongchang and Jinyiwei could not interfere.
"Eunuch Xiao, what is your Majesty going to do?"
After the Jin Yiwei commander Mou Bin arranged everything, he came over specifically to ask Xiao Jing for instructions.
Xiao Jing looked helpless: "Just do it as you are told, don't ask. No one can say anything before it happens!"
Of course, he couldn't tell Zhang Zhou's prediction that an earthquake might occur in Jianchangwei and other places. The emperor had to do something in advance to avoid being accused of shielding his relatives and being punished by God. Anyway, the emperor was taking precautions now.
Since it didn't happen, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
…
…
Before the meeting the next day.
As soon as the civil servants arrived at the Meridian Gate, Luan Jia from the other side had not yet appeared.
Bai Ang, the Minister of Punishment, informed Liu Jian and others about Zhang Yanling's transfer to Beizhen Fusi. Immediately, all the civil servants present knew the "explosive news."
"Why do you want to be imprisoned by a relative of the Zhang family?"
Xie Qian looked puzzled.
When Peng Quan's involvement in the impeachment of Zhang Yanling was mentioned to the emperor, the emperor threatened and induced him. He even reached an agreement with the cabinet not to mention it again because Jiang Rong reported that three cabinet members were blocked along the road.
As a result, the emperor turned his face and arrested Zhang Yanling?
The contrast in the emperor's attitude before and after is a bit big...
Bai Ang analyzed: "Could it be that Uncle Jianchang did something outrageous and resentful that even His Majesty can't bear?"
Based on what Peng Quan had reported before, it was not very likely that Zhang Yanling would be imprisoned. There was only one explanation. Zhang Yanling committed another crime. After committing crimes one after another, the emperor became angry, so Zhang Yanling was imprisoned.
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "There have been a lot of memorials to impeach the Zhang brothers recently, but there is nothing new. They are all commonplace things. If you use this to send people to prison, it really doesn't make sense!"
…
…
Meeting at Meridian Gate.
The emperor didn't mention Zhang Yanling at all. It was because the emperor felt that he was "in the wrong". After all, it was just to fool God. He said that Zhang Yanling was sent to prison, but in fact he just found a new place for Zhang Yanling to live.
In addition to certain restrictions on personal freedom, there are no restrictions on contact with the outside world, and eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling have not stopped.
Is this what the hell is called going to jail?
This is much more comfortable than ordinary people outside.
The ministers were moved by the emperor's "righteousness to destroy relatives" and were embarrassed to mention it. In fact, they still thought of praising the emperor's great style of not showing favoritism. However, the incident happened suddenly, and many people had not yet summed up the flattering words. Son, no one will take care of things.
After the court meeting, Zhu Youtang returned to Qianqing Palace and learned from Xiao Jing that from last night to this morning, his brother-in-law had made a scene in Fusi, Beizhen.
"... Uncle Jianchang brought more than 40 people in. The place for the concubines and maids was not enough, so they had to move a few yards temporarily, and some even built sheds in the yards..."
Xiao Jing was also a little speechless.
However, the emperor said that the sacrifice of Zhang Yanling's interests this time must be based on the contact with the queen's consent.
Empress Zhang means that the person can be sent to Beizhen Fusi, but her brother must not be wronged even a little bit, and then...
It's like this bear.
"Ahem!" Zhu Youtang felt uncomfortable when he heard this.
Xiao Jing was still adding fuel to the fire: "...two more troupes were arranged yesterday, one is a theater troupe, and the other is from Jiaofang Division, six or seven women with music status...all in Beizhen Fusi Stay the night inside…”
"Okay!" Zhu Youtang really couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Xiao Jing directly, "After this trouble, Beizhen Fusi is so messy, and if others know it, what dignity do I still have?"
Xiao Jing lowered his head.
Sure enough, people are easily offended by this kind of thing.
I did the things. Although I did them according to His Majesty's instructions, but they were not in line with the Emperor's wishes, then it was my fault?
But the problem is that it is simply impossible to satisfy both Zhang Yanling and both His Majesty and the Queen.
Now it is not easy to escort that living ancestor to Beizhen Fusi and let the world think that Your Majesty is just and strict. What else do you want?
"Evacuate all the people he brought with him!" Zhu Youtang said, "Just don't let the queen know!"
Xiao Jing asked for instructions: "Do you want everyone to withdraw?"
Zhu Youtang thought for a moment and shook his head: "Keep a few, he will not be short of food and supplies, and send the rest back wherever they came from!"
Another problem posed for Xiao Jing.
Whether it is people or things, they can all be classified into two aspects: "food" and "use". So there should be a standard for how much should be sent back, right? But the emperor does not set standards, and the discretion falls on the people who do the work. Does this still allow people to live?
Just as he was talking, Dai Yi came in from outside, holding in his hand the memorial that had just come from the General Affairs Department.
"explain!"
Zhu Youtang was angry and his attitude towards Dai Yi was not so good.
Dai Yi said: "Your Majesty, two things... The battle report just entering the city in the early morning said that a large number of Tatar cavalry suddenly appeared around Piantou Pass..."
"oh."
Zhu Youtang nodded in agreement, then stood up from the chair with a cry.
"Are you here?" Zhu Youtang was very excited.
"coming!"
Dai Yi was also very excited.
This means that the Tatar war predicted by Zhang Zhou in February may begin soon, and what follows may be the most likely outcome for the Ming Dynasty in the northwest battlefield after entering the Hongzhi period. Battle.
"It's at the Piantou Pass, right?" Zhu Youtang confirmed again.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dai Yi replied with certainty.
"Okay, okay, I will place Wang Weining on the side of the head. It seems that there is hope for victory in this battle. It is good steel used on the blade, and it hits the mark!" Zhu Youtang was so happy that he patted the table several times.
It seems that this is the best opportunity for Zhu Youtang to show off his martial arts. If this battle is successful, it will have a great impact on Zhu Youtang's reputation.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..." Dai Yi took advantage of Zhu Youtang's happiness and mentioned it again.
"explain!"
Zhu Youtang was in high spirits, so even if he was told some bad news, he would not take it seriously, "Is it about the general examination? The examination should start this morning, right?"
"No... Your Majesty, it's actually an earthquake happening around Shanxi and Ningxia. It's not serious..."
"The ground is shaking?"
Zhu Youtang was stunned for a moment.
It seemed that this was a bigger shock to his heart than the previous encounter with the enemy at the Turn of the Head Guan.
If the military situation in the northwest and the earthquake in Shaanxi and Ningxia go as Zhang Zhou expected, then the earthquake that is about to happen next and Zhang Yanling's warning from heaven... will it happen soon?
Dai Yi reminded: "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Youtang pointed at Xiao Jing and said: "Go, take all the people who are Yanling in Fusi, Beizhen, except himself, and take them all back to Jianchang Bo Mansion! Anyone who makes trouble will be punished! No matter who wants to see He, even if the Queen sends a message, will not allow it without my consent... If Yanling still wants to cause trouble, put him in the dungeon and let him reflect for a few days."
"yes."
Xiao Jingxin said, as expected, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Fortunately, I didn't ask too much just now.
No need to ask now.
But is this guy in this situation because he offended God or Zhang Bingkuan? Isn't this too mysterious?
