The three of them took a boat and a car to Beijing and traveled all the way, finally arriving in the capital in early May.
Wang Wensu, a middle-aged Shanxi businessman, was among the poorest, and Du Jin and Bao Chaozhen rushed to help him pay for his room and board.
See, this is mathematics, it can destroy people forever.
He made a Shanxi businessman lose his residence, made a junior student fail the provincial examination one after another, and made a student member fail to pass the annual examination!
They entered the city through Zhengyangmen and got lost as soon as they entered.
Du Jin looked for a neighbor and asked for directions: "May I ask my father-in-law, where is the residence of Bachelor Wang of the Hanlin Academy?"
The old man thought for a while and then asked: "But Wang Erlang?"
"It's Wang Erlang." Bao Chaozhen said.
The old man suddenly laughed: "Wang Erlang is easy to find. You go straight to the west. After leaving Xizhimen, the largest house outside the city is Wang Erlang's house."
"It turned out to be outside the city. Thank you, my father-in-law!" Wang Wensu said.
The three of them immediately turned west and when they came to Xuanwumen Street, they suddenly saw countless cars and horses rushing towards them.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old was riding a horse at a crazy speed, with his servants shouting from behind: "Little Marquis, please don't run again, you may bump into someone!"
The boy laughed loudly: "Hurry up, the game is about to start!"
The young man's name is Chen Ru. Although his father is dead, he is not old enough and needs to wait a few more years before he can officially inherit the title of Marquis of Taining.
Another young man, who was slightly older, was also galloping on horseback and passed Chen Ru. He turned back and mocked: "You are so slow!"
"Drive!" Chen Ru immediately whipped his whip and accelerated, completely ignoring the safety of passers-by.
Another young man, also a young marquis, was Zheng Gang, the son of Wu'an Marquis Zheng Ying.
The houses of the Marquis of Taining and Marquis of Wu'an are close to each other, and their family traditions are similar. They spend the whole day fighting cocks and lackeys, and there is nothing formal about it.
In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, more than a thousand people did not attend the court meeting, and the emperor ordered a strict investigation. Among them, the highest-ranking absentee was Taining Marquis Chen Xuan - the father of the young marquis Chen Ru in front of him.
Historically, Emperor Jiajing was offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, and found that some nobles were absent without authorization. The one with the highest rank was the young marquis Zheng Gang.
Half a month ago, Zhu Houzhao organized the nobles to watch Cuju. The two young princes, Chen Ru and Zheng Gang, immediately became loyal fans of the football league. They even organized their own team and named it "Wuju".
"Thailand Team" plans to sign up to become the first batch of A-League teams.
A ten-year-old kid, sitting on a carriage, shouted: "Second uncle, catch up with them quickly!"
The little kid's name is Gu Huan, the eldest son of Gu Shilong, the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
Both are marquises, but the Zhenyuan Marquis line is much more prominent. Gu Shilong is quite trusted by the emperor. He used to be in charge of the Shenji Battalion and the emperor's imperial guard, and is now the chief water transport officer. Last year, the water transport ship was burned, and Shen Fucong was only implicated.
, the number one target of accountability is Gu Shilong.
Among the nobles of the Zhengde Dynasty, Gu Shilong, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, was very rare. This Marquis was considerate of the soldiers, never exploited, and was known for his integrity. Later, he even dared to confront Jiang Bin. No matter how bad Jiang Bin said, Zhu Houzhao trusted Gu Shilong.
Youjia later became the Crown Prince and Tutor, and was in charge of the Military Governor's Mansion.
Wang Wensu, Bao Chaozhen and Du Jin looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what these nobles were going to do, so they hurriedly hid on the side of the street to avoid being hit.
In front of them was the city gate. The two young marquises did not dare to ride their horses anymore, so they reined in their reins and advanced slowly.
Gu Shilong's second brother and eldest son caught up in a carriage.
The little kid Gu Huan opened the car curtain, showed the things in his hands and said, "Look, what is this?"
"Telescope!"
Chen Ru was extremely envious and asked: "Little brother of the Gu family, the telescope is your majesty's royal possession. Where did you get it?"
Gu Huan said angrily, "I won't tell you."
Zheng Gang rode his horse to the side of the Gu family's carriage and said with a smile: "Little brother, tell me quickly, I will take you with me next time the Wutai team practices."
Gu Huan then spoke: "Your Majesty gave this thing to my father as a reward for military use. I can only play with it for a few days while my father is not at home. However, your Majesty said, five hundred taels a pair. You can go there later."
Purchase at Baofang Shopping Street.”
"Five hundred taels a pair?" Chen Ru asked in shock.
"Is it expensive? I don't think it's expensive." Gu Huan pretended, this little kid has good acting skills.
Zhu Houzhao did know how to do business and actually became a telescope dealer. He purchased the goods from Wang Yuan and originally agreed to sell them for 300 taels and split the profit in half, but Zhu Houzhao sold them to 500 taels a pair.
It's not like Wang Yuan never thought about selling the telescope himself, but there were too many troubles, so he might as well just sell it to the emperor on a consignment basis.
Moreover, no one would dare to imitate and sell the products sold from Leopard House in the short term. At most, they would make them for their own use. This would extend the time of monopolizing the market. If Wang Yuan sells them by himself, the telescope may become a commodity in a month or two.
The price of cabbage.
The three young princes came to the stadium outside the city together.
Zheng Gang and Chen Ru's thoughts had already drifted to the telescope. Not only did they have to dig out money, but they also needed to establish connections with the inner government before they could be qualified to buy things from Bao Fang.
In this way, the telescope is no longer a simple commodity, but a symbol of royal glory. Even if imitations appear in the future, they cannot be compared with the genuine ones. How can folk objects steal the limelight from those in the palace?
The stadium was so crowded that even nearby civilians came to watch the game.
Anyway, there is no admission fee now. The more people there, the better. Only in this way can we create a good atmosphere.
During this period, the seats of the honored guests are fixed, and there is no fear of being overtaken by others if they arrive late.
The three young marquises had just dismounted and entered the stadium when suddenly there was a quarrel behind them, but it was the soldiers guarding the stadium who blocked the car of Jianchang Marquis Zhang Yanling.
"How brave, do you know whose carriage this is?" the evil slave shouted.
The two soldiers guarding the gate held their heads high, and one of them said: "Although this place has been temporarily changed to a Cuju venue, it is the location of a military camp and school. Military orders are the priority in everything. People watching the game are not restricted to civilians, and their carriages and horses can only enter through the side door.
Entering, the chariots and horses are uniformly placed in the chariot and horse racing field. Even when His Majesty comes, the royal horses enter the chariot and horse racing field through the side door. Are you bigger than the emperor?"
The evil slave was blocked by these words, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.
Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, suddenly got off the carriage, pointed at the gatekeepers and asked: "Who led your troops?"
The soldiers replied: "We are only loyal to Your Majesty!"
Zhang Yanling sneered and said: "Your Majesty is my nephew, and Your Majesty and I are one family. Since you are loyal to His Majesty, you are my domestic slaves. How can a domestic slave stand in the way of his master? Get out of the way quickly!"
The soldier guarded the door firmly: "My lord, you can walk in. This place is only two hundred steps away from the grandstand. If everyone enters on horseback and in cars, won't the Cuju field become a mess?"
"Grandpa, I want to get in the carriage and see who dares to be me!" Zhang Yanling returned to the carriage and ordered, "Drive in and rush in!"
"Hush!"
The gatekeeper immediately blew his whistle, and before the carriage even started, six or seven soldiers nearby to maintain order had already rushed over.
"close the door!"
"Form up!"
"Anyone who breaks into the military camp without permission will be killed without mercy!"
Zhang Yanling shouted: "Break the door open for me!"
Of course, it was impossible to hit him with a horse. Several domestic slaves came to the gate and slammed their bodies against the camp gate. Unfortunately, they were too weak to do anything.
Zhang Yanling shouted again: "Get firewood quickly and burn the camp gate!"
The battle became louder and louder, and the spectators inside came to watch the excitement. There were also a large number of people outside, but they did not dare to interfere with Jianchang Hou's business.
When the slaves came to find firewood, Zhang Yanling immediately ordered: "Light the fire, light the fire quickly!"
Several soldiers looked at each other, nodded in encouragement, then raised their guns and stabbed out: "Kill!"
"Puff puff!"
The gunshots saw the flesh and killed two of them on the spot. The other slaves were injured and escaped.
The onlookers inside and outside were all dumbfounded at this time. There were actually big soldiers who dared to kill the slaves of the Marquis of Jianchang.
The little kid Gu Huan laughed loudly: "Kill well, you are really a fierce soldier of the Ming Dynasty!"
"You, you, you...you are waiting..."
Zhang Yanling was shocked and angry, and suddenly shouted: "Hurry and drive to the palace, I want to go to the Queen Mother for comment!"
The soldiers were also panicked and whispered:
"what to do?"
"Go back to the camp and find General Pan."
"General Pan is of no use, so we have to ask Young Supervisor Zhu."
"I'm afraid Mr. Zhu can't handle it, so we should go find Mr. Wang."
"Xianggong Wang is a civil servant and is not responsible for training us. We cannot contact him easily."
"Who cares about the civil and military officials at this time? If we don't go, we will be dead!"
