While they were talking, a man who looked like a housekeeper and a dozen servants rushed in angrily towards the urban construction bureau. He beat people when he saw them, without taking the government office into consideration at all.
"Be bold!"
"Protect the Emperor!"
When the palace guards responsible for protecting Emperor Hongzhi saw it, they immediately gathered together and formed protective walls in front of Emperor Hongzhi, the prince and others. At the same time, they aimed their muskets at the Zhang family and rushed in.
The housekeeper and servants also quickly surrounded them.
Seeing the muskets and the palace guards surrounding them as if they were facing formidable enemies, Zhang Heng and many of his servants were frightened.
I just came to this city to build the Yamen, intending to cause trouble for Yang Chun, Du Li, and Ouyang Zhong, and prepare to teach them a lesson.
I don’t know where these three people came from. When they became officials of the urban construction bureau, they were gesticulating on the old Zhang family’s land, saying that they wanted to build a major road on the Zhang family’s land and that they wanted to move Zhang’s land to the Zhang family’s land.
Our land is classified as an industrial zone, and buildings are not allowed to be built on it.
This made the Zhang family very angry.
This country uncle has been in Myanmar these years and rarely returns to the capital. They may have forgotten the Zhang family's past domineering and arrogant ways, and they dare to bully the Zhang family. They are really looking for death.
This time, if we don’t punish these young boys severely, how will the Zhang family gain a foothold in the capital and the Ming Dynasty from now on?
A little land is a small matter, but the old Zhang family cannot let others bully them like this.
So Zhang Heng brought a dozen servants to the Chengjian Yamen aggressively, preparing to give these three young boys a severe lesson.
Who would have expected that as soon as they came in, they would encounter such a situation. When being pointed at by guns, Zhang Heng and many servants had their legs trembling, and some even peed their pants.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here."
Zhang Heng was really scared.
God knows that Emperor Hongzhi is here today. You must know that Emperor Hongzhi is here. Even if you give him a hundred courages, he would not dare to rush into him. You must know that rushing against the emperor is a capital crime. At worst, if they do this, all nine tribes will be punished.
Yes, he is suspected of assassinating the emperor.
"Take them all!"
Following the palace captain's order, the palace guards were like tigers descending from the mountain. Almost in the blink of an eye, they captured Zhang Heng and many of his servants, and tied them tightly.
"snort!"
Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly. He had already heard about the Zhang family's arrogance. In recent years, the Zhang brothers have been overseas, and Emperor Hongzhi has become a lot cleaner.
I didn't expect to see the Zhang family's arrogance here again today. The Urban Construction Bureau was just making plans, but the Zhang family dared to attack the government offices aggressively and even beat up the imperial officials. This was simply lawless.
"Catch them all and exile them thousands of miles away."
Emperor Hongzhi was really angry, and his face was a little helpless.
There were many ministers present, and everyone was watching how Emperor Hongzhi planned to handle this matter.
In fact, the Zhang family was originally a very ordinary family of landlords and gentry, but because of Queen Zhang, the Zhang family rose rapidly. In the process of rising, they did countless unreasonable things and offended many people.
Know how much it costs.
Even the Zhou family of Queen Mother Zhou was offended to death by the Zhang family. In order to fight for some land, she had an extremely unpleasant quarrel with the Zhou family. Zhou Yu was very smart and did not make too much of a quarrel with the Zhang family, but the Zhang family was not.
Know how to converge.
Emperor Hongzhi had always taken good care of the Zhang family and taught the Zhang brothers earnestly. Later, they went overseas to establish colonies, and Emperor Hongzhi was relieved.
Who knew something like this would happen again now.
This made Emperor Hongzhi extremely angry. How old were they? The Zhang brothers were no longer children. In the past, they were said to be young and ignorant. Now they are already in their thirties.
He was so arrogant and domineering that because of some minor matter, the housekeeper and his servants rushed into the Yamen to beat the imperial official.
How can we spare them lightly?
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, spare your life!"
"For the sake of our Lord, please spare my life."
When he heard that he was going to be exiled thousands of miles away, Zhang Heng immediately panicked. If he was exiled thousands of miles away, he would never come back in this life. Winter City, Congling, Golden Continent, Australia, Beihai,
Any of these are so creepy that they can't help but shiver.
Gu Mao
"I still know that I am a member of the Hou family, but I am still so arrogant and domineering in my actions. I have no regard for the king's law and the imperial court. I even brought people to attack the imperial office and wanted to beat the imperial official."
"You Zhang family are really promising."
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him coldly, and then said to Yang Chun, Du Li, and Ouyang Zhong: "If there are any roads, public facilities, etc. that need to be planned, they should be planned from the Zhang family's land as much as possible."
.”
"yes!"
Yang Chun, Du Li, and Ouyang Zhong were also shocked. If the emperor and the prince hadn't been there today, they might have been beaten to death by Zhang's family.
Looking at these servants, all of them are aggressive and ruthless. They must have developed such a temper a long time ago.
Everyone in the capital knows the reputation of the Zhang brothers. Even though they are in Myanmar, but who among the powerful people in the capital is the most powerful, it is definitely the Zhang family.
Other dignitaries, even the Duke of Dingguo, the Duke of England, the Duke of Australia, and the Duke of Liao, have never been arrogant. Instead, they are easy to talk to and very reasonable.
Now it's easier to take action on the Zhang family and see who among the other powerful people dares to block the city construction plan. Their work will be much easier and they don't have to worry too much about these things.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, we know we were wrong, we know we were wrong!"
Zhang Heng and others were begging for mercy again and again, and they were scared to death.
It's just that as usual, I have a louder temper and am ready to teach those who offend the Zhang family a lesson. Who knows that such a thing will happen to me. The Marquis may be fine, but they are finished.
Once they are sent thousands of miles away, what will their family do?
Will he be able to come back alive in the future?
The capital is so comfortable and my life is so leisurely.
If he was sent to a place like Winter City, where he would be freezing to death in the future, would that still be a human life?
"Hmph, take it down."
Emperor Hongzhi didn't bother to pay attention to them. With a single order, these people were dragged away. There was no use crying for their fathers and mothers, and they were waiting to be exiled thousands of miles away.
"The future planning of this capital city will be based on what His Highness the Prince said. The powerful people don't care about the land, so plan as much as possible on the land of the powerful people. If anything happens, I will make the decision for you."
Hongzhi looked at the sand table in Dongcheng District. The planning of many lands was clearly marked on the sand table. Basically, the land belonged to the powerful people in the capital, and only a very small amount of land belonged to ordinary people.
"yes!"
When Du Li, Yang Chun, and Ouyang Zhong heard this, they replied in unison again.
"My dear friends, do you think it is appropriate for the prince to promote the three of them to officials?"
Then, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Ji Zhong and others and asked.
This time, in the final analysis, it is to solve this problem. In terms of the selection of officials, whether it can attract some talents from Xinxue Education.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
"The three of them have real talents and knowledge. There is nothing wrong with the prince demoting talents in any way."
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Zhong Zhong and others looked at each other and finally replied helplessly.
It is almost impossible to expect them to become minor officials as before, but the court still needs their efforts. Officials from traditional Confucianism are very good at writing articles, but in terms of specific business, they are basically useless.
What can't be done?
If some newly learned talents are not appointed as officials, the court will not be able to do many things in the future. Not to mention anything else, the city construction in front of them is enough to make everyone helpless.
"Um!"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Jin on the side has been watching silently, and he is also happy in his heart. This newly learned talent finally has the opportunity to participate in the imperial court. Although they are still minor officials now, there are still very few, but very few.
This is also a beginning. I believe there will definitely be more talents on the stage of history to shine in the future.
