Chapter 115 Cutting off the brother-in-law! How to reform the imperial examination? Real and fake Zhu Houzhao! (5.4k seeking pursuit(1/3)
"Brother, wait."
The Zhang brothers turned a corner in the direction of Chenglong Pavilion. After walking for more than ten meters, Zhang Yanling suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Heling looked at his younger brother Zhang Yanling who suddenly stopped and frowned, showing a bit of displeasure.
"Why, are you still scared?"
"That old man Zhou Yu is a relative of the emperor, so you and I are not relatives of the emperor?"
"What's more, we won the battle in the ninth year of Hongzhi's reign, and we can still be afraid of an old bird who is about to die!"
When talking about the ninth year of Hongzhi, Zhang Heling's face showed a look of pride. That battle was his proudest battle.
It was a spontaneous gathering of various types of civilians and took place on the streets of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It was an unprecedented gathering of people and weapons in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
The general process: Zhou Yu and Zhang Heling met by chance while wandering on the street. They had always disliked each other, and they didn't know who provoked them first. Anyway, they started to do it in a confused manner in the end. Both of them were not afraid of serious trouble.
The master turned around and started shaking people wildly, and soon the total number of people on both sides reached thousands.
Following the orders given by the two leaders, the thousands of gangsters started a "big battle" on the streets of the capital. The officers and soldiers arrived in time, but no one dared to step forward to stop them. They all stayed aside.
Watch the fun.
Nonsense, both sides are relatives of the emperor, one is the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor, and the other is the brother-in-law of the Supreme Emperor. Who can afford to offend him?
In the end, this incident alarmed the Forbidden City, and the emperor personally issued an order to finally put an end to this farce.
Although Zhu Youtang used a conciliatory approach afterwards, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Zhang family actually won in the end.
Because Zhu Youtang issued an order to punish Zhou Yu, but Zhang Heling did nothing wrong. He even gave Zhang Heling a sum of consolation money. When he was tired from the fight, he asked him to go home and buy a chicken to replenish his body.
The dog-eat-dog deeds of the two foreign relatives on the streets of the capital suddenly became a joke in the capital.
This is a fight between two families. Similar to this kind of armed fight, the two families basically have a fight every once in a while. It is a back-and-forth fight, which is very enjoyable.
The literary fight is also very interesting.
In the sixteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, Zhou asked Hongzhi for 800,000 yuan of salt. As soon as Zhang got the news, he was dissatisfied and turned around and asked Hongzhi for 960,000 yuan of salt. Hongzhi agreed without much thought.
Yanyin is the lifeblood of the country. The good guy gave out 1.76 million in one go, and the Ministry of Household Affairs exploded on the spot.
"No, brother, that's not what I meant."
Zhang Yanling thought for a moment and took out a three-inch long exquisite gold dagger from his sleeve.
When the knife appeared, Zhang Heling's pupils shrank, he reached out to cover the knife in Zhang Yanling's hand, and looked around to see if anyone was there.
"Yanling, what do you want to do when you bring a knife into the palace?!"
His two brothers were definitely the second and most arrogant young masters of the Hongzhi Dynasty. Zhang Heling naturally knew this.
But no matter how crazy you are, there is a limit.
The two brothers can rob the people's fields, they can rob the nobles' fields, they can use black and other color attributes among the people, they can influence the lifeblood of the country, and they can even force maids in the palace.
They could even kill people, and they did.
With Ming's strongest protective umbrella, they will all be safe and sound.
But there's only one thing they can't do.
That is, rebellion.
Bringing a sharp knife into the palace to meet the emperor, once this matter was exposed, there was no need for any review at all. It could be defined as treason on the spot. Even Zhu Youtang would probably have opinions on them.
"Brother, you are thinking wrongly."
Zhang Yanling chuckled.
"Think about it, if we go to see His Majesty like this, Your Majesty will at most fine that old man Zhou Yu tens of thousands of taels of silver. But if we go there with wounds, it will be different. Maybe Your Majesty will be so angry that he will fine him directly. Dead!"
"Since we want to do it, we have to kill the old man named Zhou!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Heling was immediately happy.
"What a great idea. I usually see you as a fool, but I didn't expect you to be so smart at the critical moment. I'll just do as you say."
"Then I'll row."
Zhang Yanling chuckled.
"Okay, let's do it."
Zhang Heling thought to himself, it’s not about cutting me anyway.
It just so happened that Zhang Yanling thought the same way.
Pfft.
Blood, splattered.
Zhang Heling's pupils shrank and his whole body trembled. He subconsciously looked at his left arm and saw an inch-long gash. Blood was pouring out. Severe pain hit him instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to scream.
The youngest brother Zhang Yanling immediately covered the mouth of the elder brother Zhang Heling and whined non-stop.
"You can't howl, otherwise your secret will be revealed."
"Brother, you also know that His Majesty treats you much better than he treats me. When His Majesty sees you injured, he will definitely be furious and you will have to suffer."
Zhang Yanling looked heartbroken.
Zhang Heling glared at Zhang Yanling, thinking that you are my brother, otherwise I would stab you high and low now!
"Let's go."
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Zhang Heling covered his "injured" arm and walked to Chenglong Pavilion.
Zhang Yanling quickly put away the golden dagger and followed quickly. Looking at his elder brother's back and the cut on his hand, he was still wondering if the cut was too short and too shallow, so what should he do if the bitter plan was not in place.
Do you want another stab from behind?
At the same time, Chenglong Pavilion.
"Do you know you're wrong?"
Lao Zhu Di stands in position C. After all, compared to Jianwen Zhu Laosi and Hongwu Xiao Zhusi, he, the upright Emperor Yongle, has more senior qualifications. As long as Lao Zhu does not show up, he is the absolute best among the emperors and princes. num.1.
You can’t even hold back the academic standards, I, Emperor Yongle, said so.
"say!"
Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen saw that Zhu Youtang did not answer, and gave a sharp shout.
Zhu Youtang, who was pinned to the ground, looked down at the ground, seeming to be thinking about something.
Just now, he had already heard about his 'accomplishments' of this day, some of which he himself had long forgotten.
One by one, one by one, indistinguishable.
Of course, Zhu Youtang can actually find reasons to defend himself.
For example, when the Hetao was lost, it could be said that it was because of a lack of military spending or to recuperate. After all, Zhu Zhanji did the same thing back then.
However, the treasury left by the Chenghua Dynasty was completely different from the treasury left by the Yongle Dynasty. This explanation is simply untenable.
"Let me get up."
One word comes out.
Xiao Zhu Si and several other young guys who were holding Zhu Youtang down raised their heads and glanced at Old Zhu Di.
Old Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then he let go of his hands. Zhu Youtang, who had a slap mark on his face, slowly stood up from the ground.
Taking a deep breath, I was about to speak.
"You gang of rebels dare to assassinate the king!"
"Someone! Drunk driving!"
The Zhang brothers rang out one after another.
All the emperors and princes heard the news and went out, only to see two young men who looked somewhat similar. One was covering his bleeding arm, and the other was holding a gold dagger in his hand.
The two of them thought that after shouting a few times, a large number of guards would rush in, but it turned out that it was useless even if their throats were broken.
By the lake, Ji Boying glanced at these two living treasures.
It's better to come early than to come late.
"It's a bit interesting."
Ji Boying immediately turned around and walked to Chenglong Pavilion, with Lao Zhu following closely behind.
When Old Zhu Di saw Ji Boying coming, he quickly stepped aside and gave up his seat C.
Zhu Youtang's pupils shrank.
"Taizu and Taizong both wanted to give way to this person. Could this person be the legendary immortal? Otherwise, how could he come with so many ancestors?"
"Drag it over here."
Ji Boying glanced at the Zhang brothers.
