Chapter 250 Misunderstanding
In the Nanning Palace of the City, the seal attached to the door was torn off, and the solemn and thick copper-skinned vermilion door slowly opened, and some dust on the door fell down one after another.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "General Xu and Eunuch Zhang will live here temporarily. The place is big enough. Thousands of brothers from the Beijing Camp can also be stationed, but they have to clean up again."
Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong looked at each other with strange expressions. Obviously, they didn't expect Xu Jin to arrange them to move into the Ning Prince's Mansion. This kid is young and flattering, so he is unique!
Little did not know that Xu Jin was not interested in flattering the two of them. The reason why he arranged the Jing camp here to station was because the Ning Prince Mansion was large enough and occupied several nearby streets. There was no need to worry that the big-headed soldiers of the Jing camp were disturbing the nearby people. It was entirely out of pragmatic considerations.
After all, Xu Jin was a time traveler, and after all, he did not attach so much importance to feudal etiquette and laws. There was clearly such a suitable place, so why not use it?
"Boy!" Xu Tai patted Xu Jin on the shoulder with approval, and then stepped into the gate of the royal palace.
Zhang Zhong also smiled and said, "Mr. Xu is unconventional in his work and has a bright future!"
Xu Jin couldn't help but speechless, it turned out that he was treated as a flatterer.
Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong entered the palace and wandered around with great interest, selecting their own favorite houses.
If someone else had changed, he might not have dared to move into the Ning Prince's Mansion. Although the Ning Prince's family would soon be raided and removed from the list, this place is the prince's mansion after all, and not everyone can move into it.
However, Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong were popular people around the emperor. The former was adopted by Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao and given the surname Zhu. They wanted to walk sideways in the capital. Now when they arrive at the place, they naturally have more scruples, so they accepted Xu Jin's arrangement without hesitation and moved into the prince's mansion openly.
"Haha, thanks to General Xu and Eunuch Zhang, we can also enjoy the treatment of the vassal king!"
After thousands of soldiers from the Beijing camp entered the Ning Palace, they rushed to seize the room, which was as lively as the New Year.
Li Wen, the county magistrate who was following Xu Jin, couldn't help but frown when he saw this and wanted to remind Xu Jin, but he swallowed it back. Apart from this place, there was no place for these Beijing troops to be stationed in Nanchang City. Although it was a bit unruly, it was better than these guys disturbing the people everywhere.
Since the Nanchang City was captured on February 20, the Ning Prince's Mansion was seized, including palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and slaves, and the mansion was seized. It has been more than two months since then. Since no one has taken care of, weeds have grown in the courtyard, and the scene of depression and neglect is no longer as lively as it was back then.
It is precisely: In the old days, the swallows in front of the King and Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people. The prosperity of the Ning Wang lineage ended and dispersed!
...
At this moment, Wu Wending was leading more than a dozen subordinates to gallop on the official road, feeling anxious.
It is said that heavy rain has been falling in recent days, and the water level of the Ganjiang River has continued to rise, so Wu Wending took people along the Ganjiang River to inspect the flood situation this morning and urged the villages and towns along the way to strengthen the embankments. However, Wu Wending had just visited the two towns downstream and received a report from Malay, saying that the vanguard of the Beijing army had arrived in Nanchang City and had a conflict with the defenders, so he rushed back in a hurry.
Wu Wending knew Meng Chang, the assistant commander of Ganzhou Guard, who was responsible for defending the city. He was serious and responsible in his work and was stubborn. He might fight with the Beijing Army, which led to serious consequences.
However, Wu Wending was a little overbearing Meng Chang. This person was indeed responsible for his work and was stubborn, but he was not as stubborn as he had the courage to fight with the Beijing Army. He was slapped in the face by Xu Tai and was slapped in the neck. If Xu Jin had not come to rescue him, he would have only surrendered in the end.
After about half an hour, Wu Wending finally led his subordinates to ride a horse back outside the northern city gate. Seeing that the people were entering and leaving freely, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the things he was worried about had not happened, and thousands of Beijing troops were probably already entering the city.
As soon as Wu Wending and his subordinates entered the city gate, Meng Chang rushed over and reported to the news and reported with shame: "Mr. Wu, the mighty deputy general Xu Tai, and the eunuch of the army in charge, Zhang Zhong, have led thousands of Beijing troops to force the city. The subordinates are incompetent and cannot stop them."
Finally, Meng Chang still had some responsibility and did not put the blame on Xu Jin. Of course, even if he wanted to push it, it would be difficult to push it off. After all, he was the chief officer in charge of defending the city, and at that time he also accused the Beijing Army of the capital to enter the city.
Wu Wending had no intention of blame because he understood that even if he was present, he could not stop the Beijing army from entering the city. After all, the other party was in that way, so he nodded slightly and said, "It's not the fault of Commander Meng for this matter. Where are General Xu and Zhang Jianjun now?"
Meng Chang replied truthfully: "Mr. Xu has arranged them to the Ning Prince's Mansion, and the Beijing Army is also stationed there!"
Wu Wending's face suddenly darkened and he shouted, "It's just a fool!"
Although Wu Wending was a good official, he was a straightforward person and was a "loyal and upright" scholar who abides by etiquette and law. He followed the monarch, minister, minister, father, son and son. Xu Jin arranged for Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong to live in the royal palace to obviously exceed the hierarchical etiquette system, and there was also a suspicion of flattery, so Lord Wu was very angry and a little disappointed.
Wang Shouren had previously said in private that Xu Jin would be a pillar of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and his praise was so high that Wu Wending could not help but look down on Xu Jin. But now he found that he was so lacking in integrity, so he was naturally disappointed and regretted that he would not be able to make a strong man.
Seeing Wu Wending hurried towards the south of the city with his subordinates angry, Meng Chang couldn't help but smile with gloating: "Hey, let you flatter, this generation of county magistrate should be over!"
Meng Chang was humiliated by Xu Tai in front of his brothers today, and he was embarrassed and angry, but he couldn't do anything to Xu Tai, so he settled the accounts on Xu Jin, who made him make a fool of himself, but the boy "stepped" to show off.
Wu Wending led his subordinates to the Ning Wang Mansion. Sure enough, he saw that the door with the seal had been opened. A group of yamen runners were helping weed and clean the yard. He became even more angry and threw the reins to a follower, then swayed his sleeves and strode towards the royal mansion.
"Mr. Wu!" The yamen runners naturally recognized the highest officials in Nanchang City today, and stood up and saluted Wu Wending.
Wu Wending nodded and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the Magistrate Xu?"
"We should be talking with General Xu and Zhang Jianjun in the Chengde Hall behind." A yamen runner pointed behind.
Wu Wending walked towards Chengde Hall with a calm face when he heard this.
