"Master Marquis, I heard that you cut off my weapons and supplies for ten thousand people?"
"You took away all the equipment for ten thousand people without even saying hello. Isn't it too ugly to look at you?"
"Master Marquis should know that I have been used to a hard life since I was a child, and I have developed a generous temper. I will fight to the death with anyone who dares to touch my things."
Facing Zhang Xin's questioning, Chen Kan, who was forced into a corner, felt miserable and could only bite the bullet and continue to be arrogant.
"What a coincidence, I think so too."
Zhang Xin's eyes became colder and colder.
He looked at Chen Kan who was riding on the horse. Even though he was looking up, his momentum was not any weaker than Chen Kan's.
Chen Kan said: "So, the Marquis is not going to return those weapons and equipment to the subordinates?"
"Ah!"
Zhang Xin sneered and said: "Sir Chen, I'd better explain to Your Majesty why he led the troops to attack the imperial city, and then talk to me about the weapons and supplies."
Then his face turned gloomy and he said coldly: "Also, Mr. Chen doesn't think that just because I took the weapons and food of ten thousand people, the matter between you and me will be settled, right?"
Now Chen Kan and Zhang Xin are like needles facing each other, and both of them have reasons not to retreat.
But both of them could see a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes.
Chen Kan responded coldly: "Your Majesty, I don't need the Marquis to worry about it. How to settle the matter between you and me, the Marquis will tell you."
Seeing that things were about to take a turn for the worst, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.
"There is an oracle!"
The eunuch's most annoying spy voice in the past was like the sound of nature to everyone present.
Chen Kan and Zhang Xin both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The two of them are now riding a tiger with difficulty, and Zhu Di's step comes at the right time.
Chen Kan has never been like this before. From the bottom of his heart, he feels that listening to the holy edict is a very pleasant thing.
He quickly turned over and dismounted, bent down and stood aside in awe.
The little eunuch walked through the crowd fearfully and shouted: "Longping Marquis Zhang Xin, where is Chen Kan, the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division?"
The two looked at each other and responded at the same time: "I'm here."
"Your Majesty has an order to summon Zhang Xin, Marquis of Longping, and Chen Kan, Commander-in-Chief of the Five Cities Army, to the palace for an audience."
The young eunuch read Zhu Di's oral instructions, looked at the two of them and said, "I would also like to invite two adults to accompany our family to the palace."
Chen Kan walked down the steps and yelled at Shi Wen: "Take the brothers back to the Nancheng Army and Horse Division and wait for me. I will deal with you when I come back."
Zhang Xin also gave instructions to the soldiers who were confronting him.
The two of them followed the young eunuch around the West Chang'an Gate and entered the imperial city from Hongwu Gate.
Arriving at the side hall where Zhu Di handled official duties, the young eunuch came in and announced, and Zhu Di's furious voice came out.
"Get me in here!"
The two straightened their clothes and entered the side hall.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Xin and Chen Kan, long live..."
The two of them had just put their hands together to say hello when they were interrupted by Zhu Di with an angry look on his face: "Don't live long, I will be pissed to death by you sooner or later!"
"I am terrified..."
The two of them quickly knelt down as their knees softened.
Zhu Di's chest kept rising and falling, and he said angrily: "Afraid, I see you are not afraid at all, you are very brave!"
Zhang Xin kowtowed obediently and said: "I am guilty, your Majesty, please punish me."
Chen Kan had known for a long time that Zhu Di was a good actor, so he kowtowed and said, "I know that I have sinned. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After confessing sincerely, Zhu Di finally stopped being weird.
Pointing at Chen Kan, he scolded: "Chen Kan, you are so brave, leading the crowd to attack the imperial city. Do you want to rebel?"
The label of rebellion was too big. Chen Kan quickly defended: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, but the attack on the imperial city was not my intention. Please tell me clearly."
"It's not intentional, you mean I'm wronging you, right?"
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"
Zhu Di became yin and yang, and Chen Kan was really hard to resist. The key was that he didn't dare to refute.
So angry!
"you have not?"
"You dare to do such a bold thing as leading a crowd to attack the imperial city, and you still think I am wronging you!"
"Very good, this is my minister of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it?"
Zhu Di spitted all over Chen Kan's face, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.
At the end of the sentence, with a fierce look in his eyes, he grabbed the ink pen on the desk and threw it towards Chen Kan.
"Since the late Emperor founded the country, no one has dared to do such a bold thing. Chen Kan, what crime do you deserve?"
Chen Kan got a good deal.
You said yourself that no one has ever done such a thing, so I don’t know what the crime should be.
"I know that I am guilty, please punish me!"
Facing Zhu Di, who was possessed by the drama queen, Chen Kan didn't dare to play word games anymore, and he lay on the ground to apologize.
"Punishment, of course I will punish you. If you don't punish me, you won't be able to turn the world upside down!"
Zhu Di said angrily.
He turned to point the artillery fire at Zhang Xin and said: "Zhang Xin, after all, you have also been the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. This little bastard doesn't know anything. Don't you know nothing too?"
"I am guilty, please Your Majesty to punish me."
"Guilty, of course you are guilty. The dignified former military commander led his people to confront this little bastard outside the imperial city like a rogue."
"Why don't you start a fight?"
"If we really want to fight, I will be happy and relaxed. I will catch them all and chop them with a knife. I will not have to worry about you all day long. I will be completely embarrassed by you!"
After a verbal spat, Zhu Di's anger subsided slightly, and he took the honey water handed to him by the young eunuch to moisten his throat.
Looking at the two people kneeling in front of him, he cursed angrily: "What evil have I done? The Japanese pirates are invading the border in the southeast, and the war in Sichuan is raging. I still have to blame you for this bullshit." .”
Chen Kan's face twitched and he repeated: "I know the crime..."
Now, Chen Kan finally understood why it is said that the essence of human beings is a repeater.
The main thing is that I can’t find anything to say to defend myself!
damn it……
"If I had known this, why did I need to be this emperor in the first place? Huh, sooner or later you will piss me off to death!"
Zhang Xin said helplessly: "I don't dare, so please calm down. I know I was wrong."
"I feel disgusted when I see you now!"
After scolding the two of them, Zhu Di still held back an evil fire in his heart.
The main reason is that the two people caused such a big incident and couldn't hide it from the censors.
Zhu Di could imagine with his buttocks that the memorial to impeach the two men would fly onto his desk like snowflakes tomorrow morning.
But it happened that of these two people, one was his confidant and the other was his future son-in-law.
It doesn't make sense not to punish him, but if he really wants to punish him severely, he won't be able to bear it.
"you……!"
With a heavy sigh, Zhu Di suppressed his anger and said: "Everyone will be fined half a year as punishment. When you go back, restrain your subordinates and get out!"
