Chapter 50: See Hu Changning II

On the street, this has also become a scene. Many people who didn't know were guessing what was going on when they saw that someone was being protected by the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in the early morning and rushed towards the imperial city? And what is the identity of this young master Jun.

Yang Chendong didn't realize that he had committed a crime at all, and walked on the streets of Jingshi looking left and right, this is the national capital of the Ming Dynasty. How fortunate he was to be able to get in and take a closer look.

The speed of the group was not very slow, but it took more than half an hour to come to the Dengwen drum outside the right gate of Chang'an.

When a half-human-high drum appeared in front of him, Yang Chendong jumped down his horse and strode to the drum.

Originally, the little flag officer wanted to see if Yang Chendong really dared to beat the drum, but he didn't think that people didn't even hesitate for a moment, so they rang it, and he retreated at the moment. I know that I finally met a ruthless person today. It's just that the beater still has to complain, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.

Above the main hall of the Imperial Palace, the court meeting is underway.

Kuang Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was reporting on the case of Deng Maoqi's rebellion in Fujian.

"Emperor Qi, Deng Maoqi called himself "the king of bulldozing", has captured more than 20 counties in Fujian, most of the government treasury was robbed, everything in it was looted, and now there is a movement to Zhejiang, and the minister is sure that the emperor will send troops to suppress bandits. Kuang Ye said with a sincere face.

As the secretary of the military department, he has not been in a very good mood recently. I thought it was just a mud leg, and to bring some people to make trouble, just mobilize a few nearby guards to send troops. But he never thought that several county yamen were attacked in succession, so that the defense line was self-defeating, which also made Deng Maoqi's momentum bigger and bigger, and there was an unstoppable momentum.

Of course, Kuang Ye didn't know that this was exactly what Leng Song led his troops to do, he followed the idea of grabbing more things and more people, and in the name of Deng Maoqi, he secretly attacked and won several important county towns one after another, which also made the defense line formulated by the officers and soldiers have loopholes, making the war more and more intense.

"It's just a bunch of fools, how could such a big incident happen?" Standing tall, wearing a golden dragon dragon robe, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was very puzzled, and looked at Wang Zhen, the celebrant who was standing aside, as he spoke.

Wang Zhen's ability to observe words and expressions was extremely good, and after noticing Yingzong's gaze, he asked downward, "Kuang Shangshu, but the nearby guard post is not in a good position, thus delaying the fighter?" ”

"No, they all did their best, but the thieves were too powerful to resist." Kuang Ye did not have the slightest disrespect because he was replaced by Wang Zhen's questioning. In fact, in the court, it has long been common for Wang Zhen to ask questions for the emperor, and after a long time, everyone will naturally get used to it.

Kuang Ye and Wang Zhen have always been well water and not river water, and the relationship is not good, and it is not bad, so the celebrant has no intention of deliberately framing the guilt. Moreover, he also knew that internal turmoil and instability of the court were taboos for the country, so he didn't dare to make any moths at this time, so he turned around and looked at Yingzong and said: "Your Majesty, the foolish people are bewitched and don't believe in the emperor's prestige, according to our family's opinion, we should send heavy troops to encircle and suppress it to stabilize its momentum." ”

"Okay, that's what Mr. Ran, mean, and sent Zhang Kai, the imperial historian of the capital, Chen Mao, Liang Hao, Chen Yu, Liang Hao, Chen Yu and others to lead 20,000 troops in Beijing, and 27,000 people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Caoyun, and use the elite soldiers composed of the Mongols and Hui to suppress it." Yingzong believed in Wang Zhen very much, and even if Mr. said so, he did not hesitate, and made a holy decree on the spot.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Seeing that Yingzong decided to send an army to go, all the ministers knelt on the ground at that moment, and there was a sound of singing.

It is said that when things come to this point, Yingzong will show the state of Mingjun, and everyone will be happy when they come to the life of the king. In fact, he was about to say this, but suddenly three drums sounded, and they were still clearly audible when he entered the court.

"It's... This is the Dengwen Drum! "The well-informed old minister immediately heard the origin of this voice.

Everyone knows that there must be something important to knock on the drums. So I haven't heard the sound of drums for many years, but today, it suddenly sounded, causing everyone to tremble, and they were all thinking about what happened in their hearts. Could it be that there is no rebellion?

The ministers were all worried and panicked, but Yingzong was happy. He has been the emperor for thirteen years now, and he has never seen anything above the court. But this is the first time that the drums have sounded, and I can't help but be interested, "Sir, let's go and see who is beating the drums, and bring them up for me to see." ”

The emperor spoke, Wang Zhen didn't dare to disobey, and immediately gave his little eunuch a look, and then someone rushed away. Pity the old ministers, who were still kneeling on the ground at this time, and did not dare to get up without the emperor's decree.

In front of the drums, a group of soldiers and horses from the Five Cities and the brocade guards who heard the drums tightly surrounded Yang Chendong, who was dressed in a green robe.

The difference is that Yang Chendong, who was surrounded, looked relaxed and comfortable, and from time to time he would reach out to touch the edge of the Dengwen drum, as if he wanted to see what kind of material it was made of. But the soldiers who surrounded him were nervous one by one.

Hu Changning's envoy was in the crowd.

It's also a coincidence, and he is on duty today. Originally, the attention was on the court, because no one knew what might happen, maybe there would be a minister with no eyes who angered the emperor and would be pulled out, and then they would be asked to contribute to the brocade guards, and things like this had often happened before.

Today is good, it is completely reversed, the incident did not happen in the palace, but in front of the Dengwen drum outside, as soon as he heard the drum sound, he secretly said something bad, and rushed over with a few of his subordinates, including the two subordinates who were brought to Jianning Mansion last time.

At this time, these two people had already recognized Yang Chendong, and their faces were full of admiration, although they didn't say anything at this time, they could still see from their eyes that they still admired the courage of the sixth young master.

Yang Chendong naturally recognized Hu Changning and others, and had a plan in mind at the moment, today's matter is destined to be a matter that will not be too small, even if it is a favor, of course, it is best to give it to yourself full of kindness.

"Master Hu, it's time for the official to see you." Yang Chendong thought about it and moved forward, and came to Hu Changning with a fist and a fist.

"Governor Yang is polite." Hu Changning couldn't figure out what Yang Chendong was going to do? Is it because he knows that he has caused trouble and wants to get close? He had just heard from the little flag officer of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division that this son was so bold and reckless that he openly went to Wang Gou's house in broad daylight and beat him.

The imperial court has long had a clear law, officials can only be punished by the imperial power, and anyone who does it privately, no matter what reason you have, will be punished severely. This can also be said that Yang Chendong is now a criminal official, will there be any benefit in befriending such a person?

If he is replaced by someone else, Hu Changning will definitely speak righteously and speak in a businesslike manner, after all, who wants to have anything to do with a criminal official?

But Yang Chendong is not an outsider, his daughter's thoughts are unknown to others, how can Hu Changning not know. If Hu Yan knew, the sixth young master would appear in front of his father, but his father ignored it, but sent him to the edict prison on official business, afraid that he would ignore him for a long time. If you do that, it will be more than worth the cost.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hu Changning didn't think that Yang Chendong would do such a reckless thing. The two had been in contact before, and this son definitely didn't give him the same impetuousness as other young people.

Now Yang Chendong took the initiative to say hello, and he also wanted to know what happened, at least reach out to help where he could. Even if it is for the sake of the face of the late Lord Yang Rong, it is also appropriate to do so.

"Governor Yang, do you know that you committed a big crime today. First beat the court officials, and then beat the Dengwen drum, what are you going to do? The two walked together, and Hu Changning lowered his voice and asked with a displeased face.

"Ahh Yang Chendong had a look of injustice, as if he was the victim.

"What the hell is going on? Let's be honest. Hu Changning was also deceived by this expression, of course, this is because he still doesn't know the sixth young master, and when he comes into contact with more in the future, he will know what kind of person this son is, and he is afraid that he will be more or less attentive when he works with him in the future.

"Yes, don't dare to deceive Master Hu, here's the thing." Yang Chendong's appearance of an honest man makes people sympathize with him first.

"Xiaguan is the Jingshi who came yesterday and went directly to Yangjiazhuang, fifteen miles south of the city. As soon as he entered the village, he didn't care about the fatigue of the carriage and horses, so he went to the manor first, and when he saw a good thing, he couldn't help but want to report to the emperor and the court. It was only because the city gate had been closed that there was no way to enter, so he had to stay in the village and wait for the dawn. So he tossed and turned all night and could not sleep, and as soon as the morning dawned, he rode into the city. ”

When he said this, Yang Chendong's body shook very cooperatively, as if he really hadn't rested well.

This one was also leaning towards Hu Changning's side, so that the honest Lord Hu reflexively stretched out his hand to help him, and he was helping one upright.

Leaning on Hu Changning's shoulder, Yang Chendong made a picture of his better health and continued: "After entering the city, Xia Guan just thought, how could I have the opportunity to meet the current emperor with my little Jiupin micro-official?" Eyebrows and thoughts, unconsciously came to the outside of the glaze factory, unfortunately here to see the seventh sister of the family, I wanted to come forward to ask where the Dengwen drum is, presumably only this way to let the lower officials face the emperor to see the emperor. Who would have thought that my seventh brother-in-law would not ask about the matter, and would want to be defeated if he came up indiscriminately. If it is usual, the lower officials will endure it, who will make the family my seventh brother-in-law? But when I thought that there was something important to report to the emperor, I was in a hurry, so I pushed Wang Gou with my backhand, and I never thought that his body was so unstrong, and he fell down when I pushed him, and he was angry and wanted to come up and fight with me, and the eyeballs were red at that time. As soon as Xia Guan saw that this was clearly a demon, he slapped him and wanted to wake him up. But who knew that Wang Gou's mother just came, misunderstood the lower official, and wanted to come up desperately, the same eyes were red, and the lower official's family raised his hand and gave a horse whip in order to protect the lower official, which can be regarded as waking up the woman. ”
