Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 212 Wu Xun meets the rain, and the martial arts rise to the sun

The capital city is a place full of undercurrents.

Although Xu Shiying has left Chongwenmen, the slander about him has never stopped.

"Xu Shiying's archery skills are not as good as this Hou's. Isn't this just nonsense?"

"This time I'm going to lead the army overseas. Xu Shiying has never been in the army at all. If he can do it, hell!"

"Just wait and see, Benhou guarantees that within this month, we will definitely see the big joke about Xu Shiying's defeat!"

……

Unexpectedly, the biggest criticism of Xu Shiying is not the civil official group, but the marginalized Wuxun group. They are not optimistic about Xu Shiying leading the army to Shenzhi Island this time. Very suspicious.

In the flower hall of the British government, it was extremely lively at the moment.

Due to Zhu Fu's illicit liaison with foreign vassals, the duchy of Cheng was deposed, and now the door plaque of duke Cheng's mansion has been removed, so it is no longer suitable to be a gathering place for the heroes of martial arts, and it is not even worthy to play with them.

The British Duke Zhang Mao was implicated in the assassination incident at the Aegis Camp last year. Although he was ordered by Hongzhi to stay at home, he was still an upright British government after all.

That's why, after the downfall of the Chengguo government, the British government has now taken over the banner of the Wuxun Group and become the new leader of the Wuxun Group in Beijing.

Similar to the situation in Chengguo's mansion, the one who is really active is not Zhang Mao, the head of the British mansion, but Zhang Lun, the eldest son of the British mansion.

Zhang Lun is a young man in his early 20s. He has been a demon king since he was a child, and now he has developed a temperament that is not afraid of anything.

Although his height was not short, he was still too thin, and his back was hunchbacked at a young age. Such a figure was difficult to be reused by the court.

The royal family of the Zhu family has always liked to use Wu Xun heavily. Although they couldn't see how much ink Wu Xun had in his belly, Zhang Lun didn't even have a general, so it was destined to be difficult to be entrusted with important tasks.

Zhang Lun has also realized this, so he actually resents the court in his heart.Now hearing that Xu Shiying, who is also the prince of the state, is badly criticized by everyone, the corners of his mouth can't help but slightly rise, and he feels indescribably happy.

"How many catties and taels does Xu Shiying have? Didn't he grow cotton this year!"

"It's not just about growing cotton. He sold his shop and built a weaving workshop!"

"It's really embarrassing and embarrassing to the family. The dignified Duke's Mansion actually sells the ancestral property to manage such a lowly business as weaving!"

……

Wu Anhou and other Wu Xun not only attacked Xu Shiying's ability, but also found out Xu Shiying's cotton planting and running a weaving factory, which seemed to be a very contemptuous attack.

In fact, they may not have much resentment towards Xu Shiying, after all, everyone is a member of the Wu Xun Group.

It's just that everyone was suppressed by the emperor together, but you got the post of governor of the East China Sea. Who are you going to blame now?

What's more, everyone originally wanted to fight against the emperor together as a group, but you actually ran to hug the emperor's thigh, you are simply a traitor of their Wu Xun group.

Just like that, they wished that they could breathe out their fragrance in front of Xu Shiying, and even more wished that Xu Shiying would die in the East China Sea.

The sky in July changed as it said, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was already covered with dark clouds.

"Good rain knows the season, and heat is when it happens!"

"It's good to have some rain now, the capital is almost suffocating these days!"

"Haha...Xu Shiying is going to Tianjin now, I'm afraid I'm going to be drenched!"

……

Wu Anhou and others watched the dark clouds rolling in from the east, and immediately felt a chill in the air. Someone suddenly thought of Xu Shiying who was leaving for Tianjin, and couldn't help gloating.

Boom!

A thunder came from the eastern sky, and everyone couldn't help looking around, but some Wu Xun realized that they were looking in the direction of Xiyuan and the Forbidden City.

Although they disliked the Hongzhi Dynasty, which did not value martial arts, they had to admit that the current emperor had become the real emperor, and none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared to challenge the emperor openly.

Just as the heavy rain was about to come, a servant suddenly rushed over and said, "It's not good! It's not good!"

"How decent is it to be flustered? Have you forgotten the rules of the British government?" Zhang Lun felt that this flustered confidant had lost the face of the British government, and immediately reprimanded him sharply.

The servant swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and then he reported boldly: "Your Majesty, Qin Conggui from the East Factory just smashed up our shop with a fan, and asked our British government to sell the shop within three days!"

"Xiao Shu, how dare he do this, does he not want to live? Is it his turn to tell me what is going on in my British government?" Zhang Lun's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily.

Marquis Wu An and the others knew that Tan Conggui was an old man in the East Palace, and now he was the second in command of the East Factory, but they couldn't help but looked at each other when they learned that Tan Conggui was so arrogant.

It has never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty that a small eunuch dared to treat the majestic Duke's mansion like this.

The servant saw Zhang Cang's anger, and added cautiously: "Tan Conggui said that you said to His Majesty at the beginning of the year: Wu Xun is not allowed to do business! Now that you don't have His Majesty's permission, it is against the law to run a shop without authorization." Ancestral property, so order our British government to be safe!"

This……

Marquis Wu An and the others turned their heads to look at Zhang Lun. Zhang Lun really said such a thing.

It's just that at that time they were all focused on fighting against His Majesty, and they seemed to have forgotten about running a shop, but Tan Conggui caught the conversation.

Now Qin Conggui brought people to smash the store, although he didn't understand why it was today, but there was evidence to base his move on.

"Which Wu Xun's family doesn't have a shop now, why did he come to smash the shop of my British government? He is clearly here to bully our British government! The prince came to settle accounts with that eunuch!" Zhang Lun immediately exploded in anger, and summoned everyone to speak.

Marquis Wu'an and the others saw Zhang Lun's bloody reaction, and the target was Tan Conggui, and they couldn't help but feel a little happy, but Taining Marquis Chen Huan deliberately dissuaded him.

How could Zhang Lun listen to the persuasion, he was born with a golden key in his mouth since he was a child, and he was a high-ranking British prince just after he was born, when did he experience such a useless attitude.

As if the sky felt Zhang Lun's anger, raindrops as big as soybeans had already fallen from the dark clouds, making the roof of the flower hall crackle.

Just at this time, a little old man with gray hair came from the corridor, it was definitely Zhang Mao who was getting more and more low-key.

Since he was ordered by Hongzhi to stay at home, he stopped asking about affairs outside the window. He watched dramas and listened to music at home every day, and all the affairs of the mansion were handed over to Zhang Lun.

"Father, why are you here?" Zhang Lun couldn't help but stepped forward and asked suspiciously when he saw his father broke into his own area of ​​the house.

Marquis Chen Huan of Taining and others visited the British government several times this year, but the British government seemed to have lost all vigor, but they never showed up. They couldn't help but looked at the old prince in confusion.

Snapped!
Under the curious eyes of Taining Hou Chenhuan and others, Zhang Mao directly raised his palm, and immediately slapped Zhang Mao hard on the face.

After Zhang Mao slapped his son, he said angrily, "If I don't come here again, our British government will now fall into the hands of you idiot!"

Marquis Wu An and the others realized that Zhang Mao was going to stop the foolish Zhang Lun, so they knew that there was probably nothing to see today.

"Father, are you confused, why..." Zhang Lun covered his painful face, looking full of grievances.

"Shut up!" Zhang Mao yelled violently, and then said to Taining Marquis Chen Huan and others who were watching the play: "Everyone, my British government is small, so please leave here now!"

what?
Taining Hou Chenhuan and others looked at Zhang Mao in disbelief when they saw that Zhang Mao had issued an order to drive them away.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the rain outside the flower hall was raging. Because the rain came in a hurry, and the drain in the courtyard was too small, there was already water accumulation.

Such a torrential rain is like pushing people into puddles.

Looking at the violent wind and rain outside, Wu Jinbo Zhu Lin swallowed and spit and reminded earnestly: "My lord, it is still raining heavily outside!"

"Please forgive my country's poor hospitality, but the British government really can't accommodate so many people, please leave quickly, and don't come again in the future!" Naturally, Zhang Mao knew that it was raining heavily outside, but he did not change his attitude. .

"Father, how can you do this, at least let the rain stop outside..." Zhang Lun seriously dissuaded him knowing that his father wanted to offend him to death.

"Idiot, shut up!" Zhang Mao yelled at the son who had been pampering him so much, and then told his butler: "Zhang Zhong, see off the guests immediately!"

"Everyone, the gate is here, please!" Zhang Zhong actually didn't know what his master was singing, but he obediently obeyed.

"Farewell!"

"This matter has been written down by the Marquis!"

"The future is long, let's wait and see!"

……

Wu Jinbo, Zhu Lin and Wu Xun did not expect that the British Duke Zhang Mao was so ruthless that he would drive them away in the rain, so he said goodbye angrily.

The torrential rain was accompanied by strong winds. No matter whether they left in a sedan chair or a carriage, they were destined to be drowned.

Wu Jinbo, Zhu Lin and the others did not carry rain gear. In fact, it is useless to have rain gear now. It was windy and rainy outside, and they were already drenched by rain just as they walked out.

Although Taining Hou Chen Huan got into the sedan chair under the cover of his servants, the two bearers in front suddenly slipped and fell, causing Chen Huan to roll from the sedan chair into the mud.

The situation of other Wu Xun is also in a dire situation, which makes these Wu Xun grit their teeth with hatred for the British government, but they hope that the British government will be removed by the emperor.

Just like this, the British government not only failed to become the leader of the Wu Xun Group, but became the public enemy of the Wu Xun Group.

The torrential rain outside the flower hall was still raging, but only Zhang Mao and his son were left here.

When Marquis Wu An waited for Wu Xun to be kicked out, Zhang Mao had already turned gray at the temples, and finally he said softly: "Zhang Lun, don't you still understand?"

"Father, what can the child understand? You drive them away like this, how will our British government order them in the future?" Zhang Lun was very angry at his father's actions, and immediately pointed out the serious harm.

Obviously Cheng Guogong's mansion has collapsed, and Dingguo's mansion is resented by Wu Xun, which is the best opportunity for their British government to become the leader of Wu Xun Group.

As a result, not only did my father not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he offended Taining Hou Chen Heng and other Wu Xun to death, he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Mao found that although his son was smart, he didn't have much political wisdom at all, so he said disdainfully: "A call? This time, Dongchang just smashed our shop. Next time, His Majesty wants Tan Conggui to smash the door plaque of our British government house." Already!"

"Why? Our family is a hereditary duke. It was our ancestor who helped Taizong win the world. How could he, Hongzhi, treat the meritorious queen like this!" Zhang Lun stared, and said angrily.

Zhang Mao's hands hardened immediately, but he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart and said loudly: "Just because he is the Son of Heaven! If His Majesty is really a ruthless person, he will spare your father three times? The door plaque outside is still there. Can you hang it well? Look at what you have done now! His Majesty has repeatedly spared our British government, which can be said to be a great favor to our family. What happened? You called so many martial arts to your house and said It’s a conspiracy to commit crimes, but it’s an intention to treason, do you want the entire British government to be buried with you for your stupid behavior?”

"We Wu Xun have always been in the same spirit, so we naturally want to get together more on weekdays. This has always been a practice! Now I just want His Majesty to reuse Wu Xun, our group of loyal queens, not those eunuchs! "Zhang Lun didn't feel that he was doing something wrong.

Zhang Mao raised his hand halfway, but suddenly put it down and said: "I thought you were smart since you were a child, and you were better than the son born to that lunatic in Dingguo Duke's mansion, but it is really wrong to be a father now! You are safe and honest. Stay at home and don't step out of the British government, otherwise, don't blame me for entering the palace and asking for an order to deprive you of your position as the eldest son!"

Obviously the one in the palace has already controlled the court, and he didn't withhold Lumi from their Wu Xun, but this group of Wu Xun is still so greedy.

But his own son still wants to be the leader of the Wuxun Group. This is simply trying to bring the British government into a pit of fire, which he absolutely does not allow.

When Zhang Lun heard that his father might enter the palace to ask for an order to strip him of his status as the eldest son, Zhang Lun's head suddenly buzzed, but he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Just seeing that extremely familiar figure from the back, a kind of unprecedented hatred arose in my heart, and a deep resentment flashed in my eyes inadvertently.

There is no impenetrable wall in the capital, and the fact that Marquis Wu'an and others were kicked out of the British government and exposed to the rain quickly spread, and this became a new topic of conversation among the people in the capital.

So far, as the British government refuses to carry the banner of resistance of the Wu Xun Group, it is difficult for the entire Wu Xun Group to seize military power.

Just as the Wuxun Group was slowly declining, the martial arts examination system ushered in a new life. The Enke Military Examination started in February this year selected one hundred Enke Scholars and one hundred Enke Military Students.
