Moreover, Chang Feng not only wanted to protect Ma Wensheng, but also investigated the assassination case and caught the three murderers.
This is not difficult. Guo Da Nao is a big mouth who can't keep a few ounces of oil in his belly.
The attack on Ma Wensheng failed that day. Not only did he go out to escape the disaster, but he stayed in the capital and boasted to his former lords.
Our old man Guo shot Ma Wensheng with a bow and arrow. Revenge for the brothers! So what, our old Guo is a man, right?
On this day, Chang Feng was standing in the lobby of the Ministry of War, guarding Ma Wensheng.
Fatty Xu walked in and whispered a few words to Chang Feng.
After Chang Feng heard this, he said to Ma Wensheng: "Ma Butang. We have found out the whereabouts of those three assassins. My subordinates will go and arrest them now."
Ma Wensheng told Chang Feng: "After catching the assassin, don't take him to the imperial prison. Take him directly to the lobby of the Ministry of War."
Chang Feng cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
In the north of the city, Kangtai Tea House.
A dozen dismissed generals were drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse.
Guo Big Head was like a storyteller, spitting out foam and bragging about his feat of ambushing Ma Wensheng.
He curled up his big mouth and said loudly: "You didn't see it. Lao Yu, Lao Li and I shot three arrows at Ma Wensheng."
"The arrow pierced Ma Wensheng's vitals!"
A Qianhu asked: "Master Guo, he was shot in the vital part. Why is Ma Wensheng not dead?"
Guo Datou said: "Ahem! You are a well-known man. How can you really kill an unarmed old man in his sixties?"
"My ancestor followed Grandfather Taizu to fight Chen Youliang. He never cut off the heads of people over fifty years old in exchange for silver rewards! Do you understand this is a family rule?"
"Let me tell you. The three of us removed all the iron arrows. Just give Marvin some color and let him know that we men are not easy to bully!"
Qianhu raised his thumb and said, "You have given the brothers a bad breath!"
Guo Datou said: "Damn it, let's vent your anger. If your livelihood is gone, you will be hungry."
"My second uncle is the governor of Xuanfu. I plan to join him and serve as a frontier soldier."
Everyone discussed: "Being a frontier soldier? That's a way out. If the Beijing camp doesn't provide food, the frontier soldiers should give them food, right?"
At this moment, Chang Feng's roar sounded in the teahouse: "Are you guys worthy of serving as border troops?"
Guo Datou said angrily: "Who doesn't want to die? Mr. Guo, you haven't tasted my punch as big as a sandbag, have you?"
"Hula la", dozens of royal guards in official uniforms rushed in.
Chang Feng walked up to Guo Datou and showed the badge of Jinyiwei Qianhu.
He shouted: "Jin Yiwei is handling the case, and the rest are waiting to avoid! Guo Datou, Yu Juanmao, and Li Laowen are staying!"
Guo's brain was frightened. Scholars are afraid of Qiu Ba, and Qiu Ba is afraid of Jin Yiwei.
During the period of the Western Wu Palace, Wu King Zhu Yuanzhang established the Gongwei Division, the predecessor of Jinyiwei. The Gongwei Division is the soldier in charge of the troops.
Guo Datou said: "Sir, I haven't done anything against the king's laws."
"Bang!" Chang Feng gave him a direct fight: "Assassinate the minister of the Ministry of War, and you dare to say that you didn't violate the king's law?"
"Come on, tie him up and take him to the military headquarters lobby."
The three were tied up in various ways and taken to the lobby of the Ministry of War.
Ma Wensheng saw the three of them and said, "I remember you. One of you is the commanding officer of the Three Thousand Battalion, one is the Qianhu of Yanshan Guard, and the other is the town governor of the Shenji Battalion."
The three of them were silent.
Chang Feng scolded: "Ma Butang is asking you questions. Are you mute?"
The three of them answered in unison: "Yes."
Chang Feng said: "Mabu Tang. They have been arrested and you have seen them. Do you want your subordinates to escort them back to the imperial prison and give them a proper punishment?"
Jinyiwei is an institution that integrates arrest, trial, and execution powers. The execution of criminals does not need to be verified by Dali Temple.
Ma Wensheng said: "After they were scared away by my bowl-mouth gun, Ma Ping picked up a few of the arrows they shot, but none of them had iron arrows."
"They're not really
Want to kill me. "
"Chang Feng, please give Honbu Hall some face. How about handing the three of them over to Honbu Hall?"
Chang Feng was a little hesitant: "This... my subordinate has a purpose. The purpose says that after the assassin is caught, he must be taken back to prison for justice."
Ma Wensheng said: "It doesn't matter, I will go and talk to the emperor."
Chang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Okay. These three thieves will be handed over to Ma Bu Tang."
Ma Wensheng walked up behind the three of them and ordered: "Kneel down and lift your butt up for me!"
The three of them did so.
Ma Wensheng looked at the three people's raised buttocks and kicked them three times.
Ma Wensheng cursed bitterly: "One person is a minister, one is a governor, and one is a thousand households. He shot an arrow in thirty steps, and the arrow didn't touch my body at all!"
"Can a mediocre general who is not good at archery be able to fight? Shouldn't he be dismissed?"
Then, Ma Wensheng kicked each of them again: "When you see a bowl-mouth gun, you will run faster than a rabbit. Article 13 of the Beijing Camp Military Regulations: If you escape in the middle of battle, behead immediately!"
"This kick is for you to escape from the battlefield!"
After six consecutive kicks. Ma Wensheng said to Chang Feng, "I'll lend you your Xiuchun Dao."
Guo Datou and the other three thought that Ma Wensheng was going to kill them with his own hands.
They wailed and begged for mercy: "We were wrong at Mabu Hall. We won't dare to do it next time. Please spare our lives!"
Ma Wensheng walked behind them and pulled out the Xiuchun knife that Chang Feng handed over.
He didn't stab these three "assassins" with Xiuchun Dao. Instead, he cut the ropes that bound them.
Ma Wensheng said: "If you lose your military position, just be a common man, earn your own living, and support your family. Well, get out of here!"
The three of them will be pardoned. He kowtowed to Ma Wensheng and trotted out of the lobby of the Ministry of War.
Chang Feng said: "Ma Butang, you just let them go?"
Ma Wensheng said: "They are not my enemies, but my former robes."
"I can use ruthless means to deal with my enemies. I'd better treat the former Pao Ze with kindness."
Chang Feng protected Ma Wensheng for a whole month.
In this month, he saw what a real pillar of the country was.
At the same time, he also began to examine himself. In the past, was I too obsessed with official position?
A real man should be like Ma Wensheng, who protects the country at the top and the people at the bottom.
In the words of later generations. To interact with people, you need to interact with people who have a big pattern.
When you are with people who have a big picture, you can often open up your own picture.
Chang Feng's pattern has finally opened up.
The first year of Hongzhi, the first day of March. The chief envoy of Fujian has made an official announcement, and the Nanhai Oyster Mirror Mazu Temple has been built. Ask the imperial court to send personnel to offer sacrifices.
God of the North Sea and Mazu of the South. They are all gods who protect the peace of the sea. The imperial court would send special personnel to offer sacrifices every year.
Emperor Hongzhi respected heaven and loved the people, so he naturally attached great importance to this matter.
He was going to send three people to offer sacrifices. They are Yang Tinghe, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Bingbi Li Guang, the director of etiquette, and Chang Feng, the Jinyiwei Qianhu.
Twenty-nine-year-old Yang Tinghe was in charge of the rituals and sacrifices in the Ministry of Rites. It is his duty to worship Mazu.
Li Guang and Chang Feng were regarded as confidants by Emperor Hongzhi. The purpose of sending two confidants was to show how seriously he valued this sacrifice.
