First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 664 The Marquis of Runan

This guy is his old subordinate, and he contributed a lot this time. Naturally, it is impossible for Zhu Biao to punish him further. The original fifty military sticks were all accidental disasters. After this incident, Zhu Biao will make up for it.

In fact, there are many generals like Zhang Dazui in the Beijing camp. In the past, there were more than [-] troops in the Northern Expedition, and most of them returned to the Beijing camp after the war. This is why Zhu Biao is not afraid of the mutiny of the Beijing camp.

Although the current commanders of the Beijing camp are not his direct confidants, most of the middle-level generals and schools in the Beijing camp are his former troops. These people actually hold the actual military power.

With such a number, how did Hu Weiyong and others win them over?Even if Jiang Yu hadn't been arranged in advance, what happened today would not be too much trouble, and Zhu Biao could win it with an order.

Zhu Biao's car didn't stop and drove straight towards the palace, with his mouth wide open, he retreated to the side and bowed to see him off. He didn't straighten up until the princess's car also passed behind.

Although there are princes and princesses driving behind, that's all for him. The crown prince and concubine are the future emperors and empresses, so they can't be too respectful. The rest of the princes and princesses are qualified to control him?
The lieutenant at the side came over and persuaded, "I'll send you back home to re-apply the medicine, your back is bleeding again."

Grinning, he touched his butt with his mouth wide open. He felt a tingling pain and then it was hot and humid. He brought his hand back to his eyes, and it was bright red. The staff in the army is not a joke.

He could still walk over now because the executioner kept his hand, otherwise the fifty-stick beating would go on, and the hard-fought man would not even think about getting up.

"Go back, I'll be guarding here today, otherwise the beating would be for nothing, you go and invite the doctor to give me the medicine."

The lieutenant general had no choice but to ask someone to invite the doctor back. He tried his best to support Zhang Dazui and walked slowly to the duty room. There was actually nothing bad here, except that it was a little smelly and noisy.

He lay down with his mouth open and his buttocks pouted, the lieutenant didn't dislike him, and happily took off his lower body clothes, causing him to yell and curse again, but it soon subsided.

This is the peace of the world, otherwise, in the past years, shouting so much about such a small injury in the army would have made other generals laugh. There is no such thing as sympathy in the army.

"I said, general, you are so virtuous, and you are still lying on your stomach. Why do you have to pay a visit to His Highness the Crown Prince? This Highness didn't lift the curtain to look at you at all. This is not a waste of time."

Zhang Dazui proudly snorted: "You know what a fart, otherwise we are General Xuanwei, and you are just a captain of Chengxin relying on Lao Tzu's support. It's because your brain is too stupid. Does it matter if the prince sees it or not? The important thing is that the crown prince remembered that our old Zhang was beaten by the army stick for nothing today!"

This is a bit ugly, but the lieutenant general didn't take it seriously. The two of them came out of a village in the past, and they went through battles together and supported each other to survive.

The soldiers brought in hot water, and the lieutenant threw a wet towel, wrung it dry, and then directly covered the big black and red mottled buttocks with his mouth wide open, and there was another burst of ugly scolding.

There was cold sweat on Zhang Dazui's forehead, but he still panted and said: "Wait, we will be promoted again soon, then let's think of a way, you can also become a military general, hehe! No loss! "

General Wulue is just a general of the fifth rank and a miscellaneous number, which is nothing in the current Ming army, but after all, he has crossed from a school lieutenant to a general, and it is not easy now when it is difficult to make military achievements...

After entering the gate of Waichengtian Palace, another group of guards were replaced. Zhang Wei led the Bingmasi people to stop and disperse. The Jinwu Guards and Fujun Guards who were guarding the palace city could continue to accompany them.

After passing through the Meridian Gate, the cars of the Crown Princess and the princes and princesses stopped, and the Crown Princess appeased everyone to return to the palace, while the Prince's car continued to drive, bypassing the middle and right gates from the West Corner Gate to the west of Huagai Hall. Stop in front of the turret.

Horses are not allowed to drive by in front of Fengtian Hall, even the crown prince had to go around, Zhu Biao got out of the car, tidied his sleeves and strode quickly towards Huagai Hall.

"Go and tell them to come here to see me."

Liu Jin made a promise and walked quickly towards Fengtian Hall, where the officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Beijing Camp were still kneeling.

The roof of the Huagai Hall is single eaves with pointed corners, the roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the center is a gold-plated copper crown. There are doors on all sides of the hall, and there are twelve doors on the front. , The vertical belt is lightly carved with cursive patterns, the two sides of the door are green brick sill walls, and there are small windows on the top. The inner and outer eaves of the hall are decorated with golden dragons and seal paintings.

Zhu Biao walked in slowly, and all the ladies and eunuchs in the hall greeted him with great gifts. Zhu Biao looked at the throne and stretched his hands wide open.

There were two sets of court clothes and crowns for the crown prince in the Huagai Palace. The court ladies dressed the prince in an orderly manner, and Liu Jin, who had come back early, also waited silently.

The maids checked carefully and then bowed back. Zhu Biao walked up the steps and stood in front of the throne, then turned around blankly and looked down at the slightly empty hall.

The waists of the court ladies and eunuchs who were already bowing down were even deeper, and they felt a sense of majesty filling the hall, and they didn't even dare to look up at the crown prince.

"Send them in."

Zhu Biao didn't take his seat, but stood in front of the throne with his hands behind his back, and soon a group of people stepped into the hall. On top of the solemn and majestic hall, a figure in court clothes and a crown stood on it, and the slightly dim light even more It makes people feel cold.

"I will pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Qianqiu!"

Zhu Biao didn't respond, but just stared at their backs. The maids and eunuchs standing on both sides of the hall were also silent, and the only sound that everyone could hear was the beating sound in his own chest.

After a while, Runan Marquis Mei Sizu, who was temporarily in charge of the Beijing camp, said with difficulty: "Today's incident in the Beijing camp is really the fault of my humble minister. Please punish me, Your Highness."

With him at the beginning, the rest of the people naturally followed up quickly. They were all saying the same thing, and they didn't say exactly what the crime was. Even if they asked Zhu Biao to surrender, it would be lively.

Zhu Biao suddenly opened his mouth and asked Mei Sizu: "You are the commander of the Beijing camp, and you were recommended by the king of Zhongshan before leaving. Today, there was such a big disturbance, why didn't I see you come out to preside over the overall situation? Where were you at that time?"

"At that time...at that time..."

Faced with such a sudden question, Mei Sizu was obviously at a loss. According to their expectations, the matter should have been reprimanded after a few sentences. Why did he suddenly feel that something was wrong and how should he respond to it.

Liu Jin glanced slightly sideways at the prince who had no expression on his face, and then yelled at Mei Sizu below: "Marquis Runan! Your Highness is in front of you, how can you be hesitant in your words!"

"Chen Wan died. At that time, I was drinking in the city with the Marquis of Yongcheng and several generals of the Beijing camp, and was not in the camp."

Zhu Biao was obviously not surprised, but continued to say in a calm tone: "Okay, as the commander-in-chief of the army, what crime should he be guilty of leaving his post without authorization? If the palace does not punish severely, how can we govern the army and supervise the country? Come, come and arrest you." The Marquis of Nan was taken into prison, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Xing of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion discussed the crime."

"Your Majesty, I beg your Highness to take care of the country and temporarily rest from the wrath of the thunder."

Zhu Biao ignored them, and soon Mei Sizu was dragged down. This person was actually Zhu Biao's general during the Northern Expedition, and he was one of the main generals of the later army at that time, under Liu Bowen.

Earlier, Mei Sizu was the marshal of the volunteer soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, he took refuge in Liu Futong, the leader of the Red Turban Army. Wang Baobao chopped his father into meat paste. Soon, Mei Sizu betrayed Liu Futong and joined Zhang Shicheng. Book Zuo Cheng, guarding Huai'an.

In April of the 26th year of Zhizheng, Xu Da's soldiers came to the city, and Mei Sizu offered Sizhou to welcome the surrender. Zhang Shicheng then killed several of his brothers, which can be said to be a disaster for his family.
