my days with tyrants

Chapter 10 The Strange Situation that Hongwu Witnessed in 25 Years

The back residence of Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Gaochi, who looked very festive, glanced at Yang Feng, and then turned his gaze to his aunt.

"Fourteenth Aunt is Gao Chi's elder, although it's wrong to leave the palace without permission, it's not for me and other juniors to talk too much, but Gao Chi will definitely report on this matter.

Fourteenth Aunt, please stay here temporarily. "

He put on a young and mature look and said.

"you……"

His aunt's expression changed, and she grabbed him immediately.

"The fourteenth daughter of the emperor, this is the duty of the emperor's grandson. You are here to wait for His Majesty's will."

Zhang Xianzong hurriedly stopped her and at the same time winked at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng admired Xu Da's garden there as if he didn't see it.

But Xu Da had been dead for many years at this time, and his son Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, actually lived here. This palace is large in scale, but it can’t be said to be luxurious, at least compared to those palaces that have been preserved to modern times, it is obviously simple and rudimentary. Many, mainly because the level of carved beams and painted buildings is much worse...

"Yang Zhuangshi?"

Zhang Xianzong said quickly.

"Ah, wait here!"

Yang Feng persuaded him perfunctorily, and then succeeded in attracting firepower.

Taking advantage of his aunt's angry target, Zhu Gaochi turned to Yang Feng, broke free and walked out, and then the guards also left.

In a blink of an eye, there were only three of them left here.

"Let's go!"

Yang Feng carried the big bag on his back, and walked out under the bewildered eyes of the little princess.

"The fourteenth daughter of the emperor, the emperor's grandson has already made arrangements. Let's go out through the back door. There are people waiting outside. After leaving the city, we will be escorted north. He was punished, but the emperor and grandson did not dare to lie to His Majesty, so we can only arrange it like this. Let's go north first, and hide with the King of Liao for a few days. Then you can return to the palace according to the order."

Zhang Xianzong hurriedly explained to the little princess.

"Humph!"

The little princess snorted contentedly.

Then she followed Yang Feng out, Zhang Xianzong had obviously been here before, and gave them directions from behind, and the three walked into the depths of the garden like this.

"Why are there not many people here? After all, it's the palace of the king. Shouldn't there be a crowd of slaves?"

Yang Feng looked at the garden where there was no one in sight and said.

"Yang Zhuangshi was joking. According to His Majesty's system, the slaves of the three princes are not allowed to exceed twenty. Unless there is an additional imperial gift, they must not exceed the limit. Wei Guogong is the first-rank governor, and there are only 12 slaves. Even though there are still some hired servants in the mansion. , and it will not be in groups, and there are 120 personal soldiers bestowed by the emperor, who belong to the military households to which they belong, and are now training soldiers with Duke Wei in Shaanxi."

Zhang Xianzong said.

"So the dignified Duke only has twelve house slaves?"

Yang Feng said in astonishment.

Zhang Xianzong nodded.

"No, he is the second generation, didn't his father keep some?"

Yang Feng asked.

"The slaves of King Wuning of Zhongshan are his own slaves, not the slaves of the Duke of Wei. After King Wuning of Zhongshan dies, he needs to hand in his name registration, which will be returned to the people by the court."

Zhang Xianzong said.

"So this slave can't inherit?"

Yang Feng said unexpectedly.

While talking, he pulled the trigger with his finger in his pocket...

"boom!"

Gunshots sounded suddenly.

The bullet hit the stone slab under Zhang Xianzong's feet, and Zhang Hanlin screamed in the splash of gravel. The next moment, all the hidden people around jumped out, some with crossbows, some with hooked sickle guns, and some with fishing nets. Looking at them with a somewhat awkward posture, behind these people was Zhu Gaoxi who was carrying a big stick, and a man in his twenties wearing armor and holding a knife in his hand.

"Let me just say, the majestic palace can't just be so deserted."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Take down this monster!"

Zhu Gaoxi shouted with a wave of his stick.

"Xu Yingxu, how dare you be rude!"

The little princess said angrily.

The man in armor froze for a moment, then looked at her suspiciously...

"Emperor, the fourteenth daughter of the Emperor?"

He said with trembling lips.

"Second Uncle, this monster is holding Fourteenth Aunt hostage, let's take him down!"

Zhu Gaoxi shouted.

"Xu, Mr. Xu, don't you feel curious about what happened in the palace last night, why did the fourteenth daughter of the emperor appear here suddenly, and why did His Majesty block the news? You are also an adult. Sensible, don’t you? You know about His Majesty’s blocking of news. I think if I have such a nephew, I really wish I could turn around and slap him now. I’ve seen my cheating son, and I’ll see you again today. It's my uncle's nephew."

Yang Feng smiled happily and said there.

Cold sweat broke out on Xu Yingxu's face, and he stood there with a knife in his hand, as if he was stupid.

Zhang Xianzong, who was about to cry without tears, suddenly calmed down at this moment, and then gestured to the little princess.

Immediately afterwards, he walked towards those knives and guns with a determined face.

Yang Feng followed calmly. Although the little princess was rather at a loss, she still quickly grabbed his clothes. They walked straight into the encirclement like this. The Xu family's servants looked at Xu Yingxu, but the latter stood there dumbly, trembling. The knife in his hand trembled tremblingly.Zhu Gaoxi is still urging, but this is the Xu family, and if Xu Yingxu doesn't give orders, those slaves will not move. The three of Yang Feng walked up to Xu Yingxu like this, Yang Feng stopped suddenly, and then he stretched out his hand to poke Xu Yingxu's arm...

The latter's knife fell to the ground instantly.

"Ha ha……"

Yang Feng smiled.

Then he just walked away with a smile on his face.

"Why didn't he turn around and slap Zhu Gaoxi?"

At the back door, Yang Feng asked Zhang Xianzong.

"Well, although Commander Xu is the second son of King Wuning of Zhongshan, he is a concubine."

Zhang Xianzong quickly answered.

"Ah, as long as you have no status in the Xu family, no wonder you are so easily coaxed by Zhu Gaoxi."

Yang Feng said.

Then they left the Xu family.

Outside were Zhang Xianzong's old servants and donkeys, but there were six other guards who followed Zhu Gaochi before, but they all changed clothes and didn't ride horses, so the ambush of Yang Feng was not Zhu Gaochi's order, but a simple-minded man with strong limbs Zhu Gaoxi did it.As for Xu Yingxu, he was simply deceived by Zhu Gaoxi. He didn't know the truth, but as a concubine, he needed to show his enthusiasm in front of a nephew who was a descendant like Zhu Gaoxi, but he didn't expect to be involved in the secrets of the palace, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.

Zhang Xianzong immediately got on a horse, but the little princess got on his little donkey...

She is still a book boy!

It is obviously wrong for the master to ride a donkey and she rides a horse, but it is very reasonable for the master to ride a horse and a book boy to ride a donkey.

A Hanlin led a book boy, an old servant, six guards, and a porter. This very reasonable combination went straight to Jubaomen.

Next to the Zhongshan Palace is the main street that leads directly to the city gate.

After turning to the street, Yang Feng immediately saw the majestic castle at the end...

"I fired before, why didn't anyone seem to care?"

Yang Feng looked at the tower of Jubao Gate in the distance, and then at the peaceful atmosphere around him, and asked somewhat strangely.

next moment……

"boom!"

There was an explosion far behind him.

Pedestrians on the street turned their heads to the northeast direction without being surprised, looked at the black smoke rising there, and then continued to do what they should do.

"The Gunpowder Bureau is located in the north of Huaiqing Bridge. It is not uncommon for gunpowder to explode during daily trial production. There are military camps all over the city, and training in firing firearms is almost daily."

Zhang Xianzong said with a smile.

So no one in this city cared about Yang Feng's few shots.

Then the little princess riding a donkey came out from the Xufu Street behind, and then let out a happy shout, ran between them like Erha who was about to demolish the house, and rushed to the front where the flowers were blooming. This street is very obvious. It is a flower market. Not only are the shops on both sides making all kinds of fake flowers, but there are also some shops that sell flowers on the street with their burdens. Some shops also display potted flowers...

The whole street is.

Yang Feng is not interested in taking care of her, since she has no money anyway.

He looked curiously at the side of the street, where a strange combination was walking by, two young men were wearing green turbans on their heads, green belts around their waists, and leather boots on their feet...

Leather boots with fur.

And it was obviously some of the most common livestock hides.

So it looks like it has two hooves.

But they carried a flat wooden plank on their shoulders, on which lay a sickly old man, and beside him were two people dressed in the same clothes to support him so that he would not fall from it. It's just wood, but sitting on it obviously requires a little skill.However, it can be seen that these five people are not Han Chinese, they should be regarded as Semu people. This is the early Ming Dynasty, and there should be a large number of Semu people from the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, there are many shops on both sides.

"Didn't you say that common people are not allowed to wear boots, and that even in winter they can only wear leather ties around their ankles? This is obviously not an official?"

Yang Feng said.

"You're a lowly person with sex eyes, you're only allowed to wear this kind of furry leather boots."

Zhang Xianzong said.

"What about the wood?"

"Pianzhang, they are old and sick and can't walk, and they can only ride a flat stick when they go out. They are not allowed to ride horses, donkeys, or carts."

"It's too strict, you can't treat others like this."

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

As they spoke, a group of visibly bored people approached the perverts.

They smiled happily and deliberately walked to the side of the wall. Those eyes stopped quickly, stood there looking at them with flattering smiles, and bowed their knees. These people passed by proudly, but at the past moment, one of them suddenly After pushing his partner, the latter slammed into the flat stick exaggeratedly.Semu, who was carrying the flat stick, was frightened to dodge quickly, but instinctively walked towards the middle of the road. The old man above immediately cheered up and shouted loudly for them not to go in the middle of the road, but he was forced to the middle of the road in the end.

The group of idlers stopped leaving immediately, rolled up their sleeves one by one and rushed over.

"This, is this bullying?"

Yang Feng said.

Poor Semu fell on the road and was beaten along with the bearer.

"It is indeed bullying, but under His Majesty's system, people who are of low profile are not allowed to walk, and those who dare to walk will be killed by others, so bullying is also in accordance with the law.

But I am a state of etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, so..."

Zhang Xianzong sighed, and then looked at Yang Feng's expectant eyes.

"Of course, Your Majesty is also for the distinction between Chinese and barbarians, the distinction between high and low, my state of etiquette is the right way to educate the world with rites, the distinction between Hua and barbarians, the distinction between high and low, all are courtesy!"

He said solemnly.
