Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The acting king is the prince of the Ming Dynasty in Datong, and the first generation of the acting king is the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, inheriting Jiang Jin, the son of the acting king, is naturally the eldest son of the acting king, and will inherit the throne in the future.
The status of the prince is extraordinary, no matter how big or small the officials have to salute him, the etiquette is just one level less than the Son of Heaven, although the clan is confined in the city and cannot go out, but the prince is not as poor as those who live in poverty, he enjoys the land rewarded by the imperial court, and a large amount of land rent is in the account.
As long as the prince behaved according to the rules, the magistrate did not have any means to restrain him, he opened a shop, forced to buy and sell, which no one cared about, and there was naturally no tax, and as a result, many wealthy merchants and even the magistrate's property were under the royal palace.
Everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, the clan lived in poverty, but they had never heard of the miscellaneous kings, county kings, etc., only some people said that they were extravagant and excessive, and they didn't know how to cherish Fulu.
The Zhi Wanchang who was kneeling on the ground heard that the prince of the dynasty was coming, and immediately struggled violently, Wang Tong only gave one order, and the guards would only listen to this one order, and Zhi Wanchang raised his body, and was stepped on by the soldiers, and lay on the ground again.
"Bastard, my master is here, you dare to do this to me, a thousand cuts......"
Before he finished speaking, he was trampled down again, and the pedestrians who watched the bustle on this road were rushing in the other direction to make way for the Dai Wang Shizi and his party on the other side.
It turned out that the officers and soldiers of the three guards subordinate to the vassal king have been dismissed, but the palace always has its own guards and generals, and it is nothing for this group of people to go outside, but in the city, hundreds of heavily armed warriors are still a considerable force, judging from the scene at this time, they are also used to being domineering.
The people dodged a little slower, and the whips and sticks had already been struck, and the royal palace guards on horseback had no intention of evading them, and rode their horses directly.
Fortunately, the horse is not too fast, and people can dodge when they roll, but it provoked the guards on the horse to laugh arrogantly, a middle-aged man wearing a housekeeper's uniform, ran to this side in small steps, and saw Wang Tong's personal guards trampling down, and immediately became angry, pointing at the pro-soldiers and shouting: "Bastard kills, who gave you such a big courage to do this, do you know ......"
"Bastard, who gave you the guts to shout at your subordinates!?"
Before he finished shouting, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and the man who looked like a housekeeper couldn't dodge, and was whipped in the face fiercely, and immediately a bright red mark appeared.
"Arrest it, this person may be an accomplice of this Huang family firm!!"
Wang Tong immediately drank a sentence, and his subordinates immediately put the person on the ground as usual, the man covered his face and was screaming in pain, but he didn't expect a few people to come up and press him down, he didn't know why this happened, he just said loudly on the ground: "Do you know whose family I am." ”
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, this is the third steward of the Acting Palace, and he has always been in charge of the property of the Palace."
The situation suddenly became like this, a man who looked like a military general on behalf of Wang Shizi rode over, and hurriedly said, seeing such a scene, this military general subconsciously frowned, and there was an unhappy look on his face, he just wanted to say something, but when he saw Wang Tong and the guards behind him, his words became much more polite.
After all, the martial artists know that they are powerful, even if they are the generals of the palace, but in Datong and other border towns, they still know that they are powerful, and when they see the appearance of Wang Tong and his people, they know that they can't be too public.
"Qin Cha handles the case, he is a slave who serves others, what qualifications does he have to point fingers, can he be in charge of the royal property, can he act recklessly?"
It is true that you can act recklessly, but in front of the people, in front of people like Wang Tong, that is, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and you have touched the nails.
Hearing Wang Tong's rhetorical question, the general was stunned and could only swallow his anger, paused and said: "Lord Wang, my family has an invitation, please Lord Wang to come over and speak!" ”
The prince's son and grandson are all the same product, Wang Tong's command is naturally far inferior, not to mention that the acting king represents the Zhu family's royal family, and this identity and status are different.
On behalf of Wang Shizi, Wang Tong sent someone to invite, Wang Tong had to answer the call to step forward, Wang Tong nodded, turned over and dismounted, followed and walked over, walked two steps, Wang Tong turned around and ordered: "Take these two people together!" ”
The prince of the king was waiting at the intersection, he was here to be self-conscious, and refused to go forward to see Wang Tong, but let the king pass, the prince of the king was not very surprising, nothing more than a slightly chubby, somewhat pale young man, with a round face, quite the appearance characteristics of the Zhu family's royal family, the standard appearance of a noble son.
When Wang Tong went to meet the king's mansion, he only saw the king, but he did not see the prince.
Seeing that Wang passed to salute, and saw that Wang Tong was younger than himself, this generation of Wang Shizi's originally somewhat angry expression was a little reserved, and he nodded lightly and said: "Lord Wang came to Datong on an errand on an errand by the emperor, and he has worked hard these days, so he doesn't have to be so polite." ”
"Etiquette cannot be abolished, thank you for the care of the prince, serve the country, serve the Son of Heaven, and the lower officials dare not say that it is hard."
As soon as he saw Wang Tong so polite, the reserve on the face of the prince Wang Shizi was a little more reserved, and he immediately said: "Lord Wang, the Huang family businessman is walking, ......
As soon as he said a word, Wang Tong, who had always been respectful and polite, interrupted his words and said with a smile: "Shizi, etiquette cannot be abolished, the lower official came this time to run an errand as a messenger, acting on behalf of the sky, please bow to the prince!" ”
The prince was stunned, and a flush immediately appeared on his pale face, thinking that Wang Tong was too arrogant, and his temper was known to everyone in the palace, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed it, and said: "Lord Shizi, don't be caught, Wang Tong is coming to Datong, who knows if he is staring at our palace......"
Since the ancestor Zhu Di, although the vassal king is economically tolerant, but in other aspects of the extremely strict, as long as the fault can be caught, immediately deprived of the title, confiscated family property, the vassal king is a product, the descendants and grandchildren are the same product, the prefect is just a local official from the four grades, there is a change in the palace, immediately lead troops to surround the palace to arrest the duty, it can be seen that the prevention is strict.
Wang Tong is the commander of Jinyiwei, what Jinyiwei does, everyone understands, not to mention that what Wang Tong said is not wrong, seeing Qincha's guard of honor, it is equivalent to the presence of the Son of Heaven in person, if the etiquette of the prince is wrong, the crime of disrespect can really be smashed.
A guard of honor was placed, Wang Tong stood on the side of the guard of honor in official uniforms, and received a bow from a cadre of this generation of the palace, saying that it was a guard of honor, he stood on the side, as if he was worshipping him, when he got up on behalf of Wang Shizi, he naturally had this feeling, and his face was already full of anger, but he inadvertently ate this dismount, and he didn't dare to vent it, just said coldly: "Lord Wang, Zhi Wanchang ......"
Wang Tong didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and bowed down again and said: "Shizi, now the situation at the border pass is tense, the Tartar cavalry has repeatedly approached the border wall, and the lower officials have been ordered by the governor Datong, and everything is in full swing, but in this critical season, there are people who ignore the social situation of the country, the morale of the army, hoarding goods, speculating and selling military funds, such people do not understand the overall situation, regardless of the life and death of millions of soldiers and civilians at the border pass, it is really hateful, the lower official thinks, such people may not do such things for no reason, the Tartars have always been cunning, maybe instruct this person to estimate the situation of our army, such a time, how can such a traitor be tolerated as a marching law!! ”
After saying it aloud here, Wang Tong didn't pay attention to the face of the acting Wang Shizi, waved his hand back, and opened. said: "Zhi Wanchang resold military funds, suspected of colluding with the Tartars, marching law, Sha Dongning, you have some attainments in knife skills, come and cut him!" ”
No one thought that between a few words, the street was going to kill people, a cadre was still stunned, a few people over there had already put Zhi Wanchang on the ground as usual, Zhi Wanchang didn't expect his master to come, but he was going to kill his head here, crying and struggling desperately over there, but he was a businessman who was held down by the guards, how could he open his eyes.
Sha Dongning's face was a little excited, this is a good opportunity to name the master, a good opportunity to perform, took a few steps forward, and pulled out the long knife on his waist, he originally used a Japanese knife, but now it has been changed to a thicker Miao knife, took out the knife and held it with both hands, gestured, and slashed it high.
The sword flashed, the crying and crying stopped abruptly, and the street was extremely quiet, and everything that could be seen and what could not be seen was staring at the head rolling on the street.
It seemed to stagnate, and the blood in the chest cavity gushed out from the fracture, Sha Dongning's knife was clean and neat, but who still noticed this, the prince of the acting king stood there, but he didn't notice that the hem of the robe had been splashed with blood, and when Wang Tong was there, he said: "I collided with the chariot of Qincha, I don't know if it's strange, hit sixty military sticks, and return it to the prince!" ”
Only then did he wake up, saw the blood on the hem, there was no trace of blood on his face, he was unusually white, he staggered back two steps, and reached the ground with a butt, the screams over there had already sounded, and the palace steward who had just shouted had already begun to be beaten with a military stick, Wang Tong said with a smile: "In such an emergency, if there is someone who does not know the general situation and acts recklessly, the subordinate must march the military law, and even play Your Majesty, but also maintain the completeness, Shizi, what do you say?" ”
Dai Wang Shizi's body trembled a few times, and he couldn't say a word.
