my days with tyrants

Chapter 8 Companion to a king is like a tiger, take me with you

Hanlin Academy.

"Yang, strong man Yang!"

The second place in the 24th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzong, editor of the Hanlin Academy, bowed to Yang Feng with a smiling face.

The latter has already taken off the green robe, which can only be worn by a person, and there is a system for matching everything.

Going out with Yang Feng's previous appearance is tantamount to putting on my forehead that I am not a good person.

"Can the strong man persuade the fourteenth daughter of the emperor that going to Guangning is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers. Even if the journey goes smoothly, it will take nearly half a year. And now that it has entered autumn, it will be cold winter to reach Beizhili. As for Guangning, it is even worse. Far away in Liaodong, the frontier fortress is bitterly cold, and the dripping water turns into ice in winter. The eldest daughter of the emperor grew up in the deep palace. Build."

Zhang Xianzong said.

"Zhang Hanlin, do you think I am willing to send her to Liaodong?"

Yang Feng, who had just had a full meal, leaned on the back of the chair with his legs crossed while holding a teacup, and said like a landlady.

"Humph!"

The little princess who was still eating breakfast snorted coldly.

Then, being extremely hungry, she continued to eat wontons there quickly with royal elegance, and was inhaled hotly.

Zhang Xianzong sat down on the teacher's chair on the other side of the coffee table with some helplessness...

"Actually, the best way now is for you to coax her aside, and then I will quickly slip away, and after I slip away, you will send her back to the palace."

Yang Feng said.

"You guys dare!"

The little princess said angrily.

"Ha, I don't believe you don't go to the toilet, sleep, or take a bath."

Yang Feng said.

The little princess was tongue-tied, obviously stunned by his shamelessness.

"Yang Zhuangshi, how can this be done? The Fourteenth Daughter of the Emperor is His Majesty's beloved daughter. But the Fourteenth Daughter of the Emperor has a mission. Even if I have objections, I can only advise, how dare I deceive you."

Zhang Xianzong said hurriedly.

"Zhang Hanlin, watch him for me. If he escapes, I'll ask you for someone."

The little princess said with satisfaction.

After speaking, she stood up and looked around...

"Zhang Hanlin, where is the maid?"

"Uh, the fourteenth daughter of the emperor, my family is poor, and my salary is meager, but it is just food and clothing. It is not easy to support a servant. How can I support a maid?"

"Do you want me to keep wearing this suit?"

"The fourteenth daughter of the emperor, I have ordered this old servant to buy new clothes for the two of you."

"That……"

The little princess stood there obviously anxious.

"Just say that you want to go to the toilet. If you have to talk so much, turn left when you go out. It's on the top of the garden. Listen, it's a public toilet. There is no distinction between men and women. If you want to be older, you have to bring your own paper. What about you?" How come the Hanlin doesn’t even have its own house, and you still have to live in the Hanlin courtyard, don’t all of you officials be rich and wealthy, with luxurious houses and villas?”

Yang Feng said impatiently.

"Next month's salary is only seven and a half stones. There are still mothers, wives and children in the family. This salary can only support the family's food and clothing. The daily needs of the capital are very large. If the house is housed outside, there will be very little left. The Imperial Academy has officials. , although it is very inconvenient, but the advantage is that it does not need to spend money."

Zhang Xianzong said hurriedly.

While they were talking, the little princess had quietly left.

Yang Feng got up quickly, but was held back by Zhang Xianzong...

"Zhang Hanlin, why don't we let each other go? She is a little girl. You don't have to be afraid of her. Send her back when she comes back. If her father likes to hit the board, he will hit the board. If he likes to whip the whip, he will whip it. She may When you get married, you won't have the chance to come out and take revenge on you."

Yang Feng said sincerely.

"Yang Zhuangshi, do you think I can stay out of it so calmly? I don't know who you are, nor how you and the fourteenth daughter of the emperor escaped from the palace, but there are all the secrets of the palace, and it's hard for me to get involved in it. His Majesty has already blocked the news, and only said that there are thieves who want to break the ban. Even if I send the Fourteenth Daughter back, I will tell His Majesty that I know that the Fourteenth Daughter has eloped out of the palace. This kind of thing is not good for His Majesty.

His Majesty was born in a humble family, and he has strict requirements on the virtues of the emperors and daughters.

How do you think Your Majesty should handle this matter? "

Zhang Xianzong said.

"So not only can you not send her back, but you also have to help us leave the capital, lest the emperor find out that you know that his daughter has eloped with someone, and then find a chance to kill you?"

Yang Feng smiled and sat down.

"Wrong, I have to escape with you."

Zhang Xianzong said with a smile.

Yang Feng looked at him suspiciously.

"There are Jinyiwei all over the capital."

Zhang Xianzong said slowly.

"Are you too careful?"

"A companion is like a tiger!"

"But if you run away, aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill your whole family?"

"Why have I ever escaped? It is obvious that you are the one holding the fourteenth daughter of the emperor. I am a scholar, and I am unable to rescue the fourteenth daughter of the emperor. I can only follow and deal with you and protect the fourteenth daughter of the emperor with all my might. How can your majesty be a loyal minister like me?" There is a reason to kill my whole family, if His Majesty kills my whole family, wouldn’t the world know about it?”

Zhang Xianzong said with a smile.

"You are very cunning!"

Yang Feng said clearly.

But with Lao Zhu's temper, it's not overly cautious.

"Yang Zhuangshi..."

Zhang Xianzong looked at his attire and hesitated to speak.

"Don't ask me about me, and don't ask your fourteenth daughter of the emperor. Her matter will at most make you a little dangerous. My matter will really kill your whole family. It is estimated that the nine clans may not be able to Keep it."

Yang Feng said while drinking tea.

At this time the little princess came back, and both of them shut up quickly, and then the old servant who went out to buy clothes also came back with clothes, Zhang Xianzong hurriedly expressed faithfully, since the fourteenth daughter of the emperor insisted on going to Liaodong, it was the emperor's The fourteenth daughter and the brother and sister of Liao Wang are deeply in love, and he can't stop it anymore.But he was really worried, so in order to protect the fourteenth daughter of the emperor, he would rather not be an official, but also escort the fourteenth daughter of the emperor, as if he was loyal and courageous, and moved the little princess to tears.

That being the case, without further ado, everyone hurried out of the city.

Yang Feng put away all the equipment and packed them into bags, but he still wore the body armor, a short brown jacket, a pair of pants underneath, and a square hat on his head...

This is only for farmers to wear.

The clothing system of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty was clear, and anyone should dress in whatever way.

From the style and color of the clothes to the length of the hem, there are rules, especially when it comes to decorations.

And Dai Fangli can completely cover up Yang Feng's hair. It is estimated that monks don't have buns these days, but monks have bald heads, not cropped ones.

So disguise is also learning.

The leather boots on the feet must also be put away, and it is shocking for farmers to wear leather boots.

The little princess changed into a normal little book boy's attire, Zhang Xianzong changed into a green robe, took the old servant, packed up his things, and then left the Imperial Academy as quickly as possible.At this time, the outside is still under investigation, but they have not received any suspicion. Even if the capital is full of Jinyiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely know that Zhang Xianzong has taken Yang Feng and his daughter, but it will take some time after all, as long as he knows it before he knows.Zhang Hanlin, who was riding a donkey, took an old servant, a book boy, and a farmer who was a porter carrying sundries, and went out of the city to visit the nearby mountains and rivers. There is really nothing suspicious about this.

Yang Feng carried a rucksack disguised as a package, and walked curiously in the capital of the Ming Dynasty at the end of the fourteenth century AD.

Pedestrians are constantly on the street.

Very peaceful.

It can be seen that they are all living and working in peace and contentment.

And the pedestrians on the road are obviously not as numb and sluggish as in Wan Qing's photo. It can be said that they look normal, mainly because there are no beggars wearing ragged rags, crutches, and broken bowls. It has affected the style of painting.

"Sure enough, at the feet of the emperor, there are not even beggars."

He said.

Zhang Xianzong smiled slightly, probably hearing that the words were not in the right taste.

"Father is the emperor, why are there still beggars? Those widows, widows, lonely, disabled and helpless are all under the care of the nursing home. They are given six stones of rice at the age of one year. They have housing, food, clothing and clothing. If they have hands and feet, they have no land. Or, there are countless wastelands in the north, and the imperial court gives cattle, seeds, carts and rations, and you are allowed to reclaim them. If you still beg, then you are clearly a troublemaker.

said the little princess.

Well, it is indeed reasonable, but there is obviously something wrong with Zhang Xianzong's smile.

If you think about this kind of thing, you will know that it all depends on the character of the local officials. Of course, it is well implemented in the capital and surrounding areas, but thousands of miles away, do you still expect the local officials to provide for these useless people?Similarly, when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, the officials were tense and did not dare to slack off. After all, he was really skinny, but without the high pressure of a powerful emperor like him, when it came to other emperors, of course no one would do it. Six stone meters a year , more than 500 catties, it is good for the officials to be greedy for ink.

Yang Feng looked around, the towering city walls, which were still new, stood in the morning light, and the city towers looked like towering giants overlooking the guarded sentient beings.

This is the strongest city wall in the world so far.

Hundreds of millions of bricks are glued together.

At least in this era, there are really no weapons that can destroy it, and even in another 200 years, it is estimated that there will be no artillery that can threaten it.

As for the Urban cannon, I'm afraid it won't work either.

That thing hits granite shells, stone, and the shells are not much stronger than these city bricks. Even if they hit some of the green bricks, they must be smashed by themselves. This city wall is not rammed earth and bricks, but pure It is built with blue bricks, but the inner and outer layers have different adhesives due to cost considerations.Unless you keep bombarding an area with this kind of shells, you can slowly gnaw it away after a long time, but with the rate of fire and poor lifespan of the Urban Cannon, you don’t have to wait for it to gnaw Nanjing City, I have already blown up the bomb.

It is hoped that the urban cannons will blast the city of Nanjing, and the attackers will be exhausted to death.

however……

In the next few hundred years, the city never really stopped the invaders.

It also caused the entire city to be slaughtered twice.

"What are you thinking?"

the little princess asked curiously.

"I wonder if such a strong city wall can stop escape and surrender?"

Yang Feng said.

"Zhang Hanlin, where are you going?"

A voice suddenly sounded in front.

The little princess's complexion changed drastically, and she instinctively hid behind Yang Feng...
