Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

The capital is a place with surging undercurrents.

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

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

"This time we are going to lead troops overseas. Xu Shiying has never been in the army at all. He'll be damned if he can do it!"

"Just wait and see, I guarantee that within this month, we will surely see Xu Shiying's defeat as a big joke!"

…

Unexpectedly, the biggest criticism of Xu Shiying is not the civil service group, but the marginalized Wu Xun group. They are not optimistic about Xu Shiying's military expedition to Shenzhi Island this time, and they are very optimistic about Xu Shiying's military ability. Very doubtful.

The flower hall of the British Government Palace was extremely lively at the moment.

Due to Zhu Fu's liaison with a foreign vassal, Duke Cheng was demoted, and now the plaque on the door of Duke Cheng's mansion has been removed. Therefore, it is no longer suitable to be a gathering place for military heroes, and it is not even suitable to play with them.

The British Crown Prince Zhang Mao was implicated in last year's assassination incident at Camp SHIELD. Although he was ordered to live at home by Hong Zhi, he was still an upright British Crown Prince after all.

Just like this, after the fall of the Chengguo Government, the British Government now took over the banner of the Wuxun Group and became the new leader of the Wuxun Group in the capital.

Similar to the situation in the Duke of Chengguo, the real active person was not the head of the family, the British Duke Zhang Mao, but the eldest son of the British Duke, Zhang Lun.

Zhang Lun is a young man in his early twenties. 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 he is not short in height, he is too thin and has a hunchback at a young age. It is difficult for such a figure to be used seriously by the court.

It is true that the Zhu family's royal family always likes to reuse Wu Xun. Although they can't see how much ink is in Wu Xun's stomach, Zhang Lun's body does not even have the appearance of a general, so it is destined to be difficult to be entrusted with important tasks.

Zhang Lun had also realized this, so he actually resented the court in his heart. Now that I heard that Xu Shiying, who was also the prince of the country, was unanimously criticized by everyone, the corners of my mouth could not help but slightly raised, and I couldn't help but feel so happy.

"How many kilograms does Xu Shiying have? It's not like he planted cotton this year!"

"More than just growing cotton, he sold his shop and built a weaving workshop!"

"It is really embarrassing and humiliating to the whole family. The majestic government of the country is actually selling ancestral property to engage in such a lowly business as weaving!"

…

Wu Anhou and other Wu Xun not only attacked Xu Shiying's ability, but also revealed two things about Xu Shiying growing cotton and running a weaving factory, and attacked him with disdain.

In fact, they don't necessarily resent Xu Shiying that much. After all, they are all members of the Wu Xun Group.

It's just that everyone was suppressed by the emperor at first, but in the end, you actually got the position of governor of the East China Sea. Who will be slandered now if not you?

What's more, everyone originally wanted to unite to fight against the emperor, but you ran to hug the emperor's lap. You are simply a traitor to their Wuxun Group.

That's why they wanted to spit out the fragrance in front of Xu Shiying, and even more wanted Xu Shiying to die in the East China Sea.

The sky in July changes all the time, but in just the blink of an eye, the sky is already covered with dark clouds.

"Good rain knows the season, and you know the heat is coming!"

"It would be nice to have some rain now, the capital is almost suffocating these days!"

"Haha...Xu Shiying is going to Tianjin now, I'm afraid she will be soaked in the rain!"

…

Marquis Wu An and others looked at the dark clouds rolling in from the east, and immediately felt a chill in the air. Some people suddenly thought of Xu Shiying who was setting off for Tianjin, and couldn't help but gloated.

Boom!

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

Although they very much disliked the Hongzhi Dynasty, which did not value military honors, they had to admit that the current emperor had become the real emperor, and no one in the civil and military officials of the dynasty dared to openly challenge the emperor.

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

"How unbecoming is it to act in a panic? Have you forgotten the rules of the British government?" Zhang Lun felt that this panicked confidant had lost the face of the British government, so he immediately reprimanded him sternly.

The servant swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and then forced himself to report: "Your Majesty, Qin Conggui from Dongchang just smashed up our shop with some tricks, and asked our British government to sell the shop within three days!"

"Eunuch, how dare he do this? Doesn't he want to live? It's his turn to dictate what happens in our British government?" Zhang Lun's face suddenly changed, and he said angrily and angrily.

Marquis Wu'an and others knew that Qin Conggui was an old member of the East Palace and was now the second-in-command of the East Factory. However, they couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they learned that Qin Conggui was so arrogant.

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

The servant saw Zhang Cang's anger in his eyes and added cautiously: "Qin Conggui said that it was you who told His Majesty at the beginning of the year: Wu Xun cannot do business! Now that you do not have His Majesty's permission, it is against the law to operate a shop without authorization. Our ancestral property, so we are ordered by the British government to stay in peace!"

this……

Marquis Wu'an and others all turned to look at Zhang Lun. Zhang Lun had really said such a thing.

It's just that at that time, they were bent on opposing His Majesty and seemed to have forgotten about running their own shops, but they gave Tan Conggui a reason to talk.

Now Qin Conggui led people to destroy the store. Although he didn't understand why it was today, his move was really well-founded.

"Wu Xun's family doesn't have a shop now. Why did he come to smash up the shop of my British government? He is clearly here to bully our British government. Come here, quickly gather all the servants and nurses, and talk to me The prince has come to settle accounts with that eunuch!" Zhang Lun was immediately furious and summoned everyone to speak out.

Marquis Wu'an and others saw Zhang Lun's bloody reaction, and the target turned out to be Tan Conggui, and they couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but Marquis Chen Huan of Taining deliberately tried to dissuade him.

How could Zhang Lun listen to the advice? He was born with a golden key in his mouth when he was a child. He was a high-ranking British prince when he was born. How could he ever have such cowardice?

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

At this time, a gray-haired little old man came from the corridor, and it was Zhang Mao who was becoming more and more low-key.

Since he was ordered by Hongzhi to live at home, he no longer cares about things outside the window. He watches dramas and listens to music at home every day, and leaves all affairs in the government to Zhang Lun.

"Dad, why are you here?" Zhang Lun saw that his father had broken into his own area of ​​​​the house and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked in confusion.

Taining Marquis Chen Huan and others visited the British Palace several times this year, but the British Palace seemed to have lost all its vigor, but they never showed up, and they couldn't help but look at the old Duke in confusion.

Snapped!

Under the curious eyes of Taining Marquis Chen Huan and others, Zhang Mao actually raised his palm and immediately gave Zhang Mao a loud slap in the face.

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

When Marquis Wu'an and others realized that Zhang Mao wanted to stop Zhang Lun, who was stupid, they knew that there would probably be no drama for them today.

"Dad, are you confused? Why..." Zhang Lun covered his sore face and said with a sense of grievance.

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

ah?

Taining Marquis Chen Huan and others looked at Zhang Mao in disbelief when they saw that Zhang Mao had issued an order to expel them.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the rain was pouring down outside the flower hall. Because the rain came very quickly, and the drain outlet in the courtyard was too small, there was already water accumulation.

Such a heavy rain would almost push people into puddles.

Wu Jinbo Zhu Lin looked at the violent wind and rain outside, swallowed his saliva and reminded seriously: "Mr. British, it's still raining heavily outside!"

"I apologize for the poor hospitality, but the British government cannot accommodate so many people. Please leave quickly and don't come back again in the future!" Zhang Mao naturally knew that it was raining heavily outside, but he did not change his attitude. .

"Dad, how could you do this? At least the rain outside should stop..." Zhang Lun knew that his father wanted to offend people to death, so he seriously tried to dissuade him.

"Idiot, shut up!" Zhang Mao shouted angrily at his doting son, and then ordered his butler: "Zhang Zhong, see the guest off immediately!"

"Everyone, the door is here, please!" Zhang Zhong actually didn't know which song his master was singing, but he still obeyed.

"Farewell!"

"I have already noted this down!"

"The days are long, let's see!"

…

Wu Jinbo, Zhu Lin and other Wu Xun did not expect that the British Duke Zhang Mao would be so unkind and would force them to leave in the rain, so they left angrily.

This heavy rain was accompanied by strong winds. No matter whether they left in a sedan or a carriage, they were destined to become drowned.

Wu Jinbo, Zhu Lin and others did not bring rain gear. In fact, it was useless to have rain gear now. It was windy and rainy outside, and they were already soaked by the rain as soon as they stepped out.

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

The situation of other military honors was also in a mess, which made these military honors gnash their teeth with hatred for the British Duke's Palace, but they expected that the British Duke's Palace would have its plaque removed by the emperor.

Because of this, the British government not only failed to become the leader of the Wuxun Group, but instead became the public enemy of the Wuxun Group.

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

By the time Wu Anhou and other Wu Xun were driven away, Zhang Mao had already turned white at the temples. Finally, he softly said, "Zhang Lun, don't you understand yet?"

"Dad, what can children understand? If you drive them away now, 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 involved.

It is clear that the Chengguo Palace has collapsed, and the Dingguo Palace is resented by all the martial artists. This is the best opportunity for the British Duke to become the leader of the martial arts group.

As a result, his father not only failed to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but instead offended Taining Marquis Chen Heng and other Wu Xun to death.

Zhang Mao found that although his son was clever, he did not have much political wisdom at all, so he said disdainfully: "Calling? This time the Dongchang just smashed our shop, next time His Majesty will ask Qin Conggui to smash the door plaque of our British government palace. Got it!"

"Why? Our family is a hereditary and irreplaceable prince. It was our ancestor who helped Taizong win the world. How could he treat his meritorious deeds like this!" Zhang Lun's eyes widened and he said angrily.

Zhang Mao's hand suddenly hardened, but he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart and said loudly: "Just because he is the emperor of tomorrow! If your Majesty is really a ruthless person, will he spare your father three times? The door plaque outside is still there Can you hang up in peace? Look what you have done now! His Majesty spared our British government many times, which can be said to be a great favor to our family. What is the result? You called so many martial arts to your home and said At least it's an evil intention, but at worst it's an attempt to rebel. Do you want the entire British government to be buried with you for this stupid act?"

"We Wu Xun have always been of the same spirit, so we naturally get together more often on weekdays. This has always been a routine! Now I just want His Majesty to reuse Wu Xun and our loyal and good queens instead of those eunuchs! "Zhang Lun doesn't think he did anything 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 Palace, but now as a father, you are really wrong! You are safe and honest. Stay at home and don’t step out of the British palace from now on, otherwise, don’t blame me for going to the palace to ask for permission to deprive you of your throne!”

Obviously the man from the palace has taken control of the court, and he has not deducted Lumi from their martial arts. As a result, these martial arts are still so greedy.

However, his son actually wanted to be the leader of the Wuxun Group. This simply wanted to lead the British government into a pit of fire, which he would never allow.

When Zhang Lun heard that his father might come to the palace to ask for permission to strip him of his crown prince status, his head suddenly buzzed, but he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Just seeing that extremely familiar figure, an unprecedented hatred arose in my heart, and a flash of deep resentment inadvertently flashed across my eyes.

There is no airtight wall in the capital. It spread quickly that Wu Anhou and other Wu Xun were kicked out of the British palace and exposed to the rain. This matter became a new topic of conversation among the people in the capital after dinner.

At this point, as the British government refused to take up the banner of resistance of the Wu Xun Group, it was 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, which started in February this year, selected one hundred Enke Jinshi and one hundred Enke Wusheng.
