Chapter 119 Blocking the road and shouting injustice

A woman in blue knelt in front of the parade, holding up a white cloth with her hands high, with a shocking dark red word "君", probably written in blood.

Zhu Youcheng was far away from the woman and couldn't see her appearance clearly. He could only judge that she was a woman based on her clothes and voice.

The official of the Ministry of Personnel who opened the way shouted loudly: "Wu, this is the parade of the top scholars and officials given by the emperor, not officials who travel. You have read the wrong time and found the wrong place to complain about the wrong place."

The woman looked up at the ceremonial card behind and snorted coldly: "I have read very little, don't lie to me. The top scholar is at most a sixth-rank official, and when he goes out, he knocks on four sticks and gongs. This adult knocks on five and a half-rank official when he goes out, he is obviously a high-rank official from the fourth-rank official, how could he be the top scholar? Moreover, the ceremonial card behind clearly states that the ceremonial card of the Ming Military Academy. I heard that the Imperial College has a fourth-rank official title. The Ming Military Academy is probably similar to the Imperial College, and the ceremonial industry there should also be a fourth-rank official."

The marching of officials was a happy event for everyone to celebrate. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were inconvenient to ask soldiers to take the woman away, so they patiently explained: "The top scholar in the undergraduate degree was Zhu Youcheng, who was a person with an official position to participate in the scientific examination. Therefore, the emperor's grace was promoted to half a level in his original official position, becoming the first top scholar in the history of the Ming Dynasty to be awarded the fourth rank. This official was the head of the Ministry of Personnel, and was ordered to open the way for the top scholar and would not deceive you."

"Zhu Cheng, is it the Zhu Cheng from the Children's Paradise?" The woman asked in confusion without hearing what the head of the Ministry of Personnel clearly.

"Yeho, it's quite insightful. It's Zhu Cheng. However, Lord Zhu was given the name by the emperor and has now been changed to Zhu Youcheng."

"Then I will seek justice from Lord Zhu Youcheng. He deceived me. Now it's time to pay off my debts."

As soon as these words came out, countless stars appeared on the people on both sides of their eyes. This is a big gossip, you have to listen carefully.

Unfortunately, when the head of the Ministry of Personnel heard the woman's words, he knew that it was related to his reputation, so he was inconvenient to ask publicly on the street. He made a gesture of silence and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go back and ask Lord Zhu for instructions."

The people failed to hear the inside story and immediately began to make up for it.

"Have you heard that? The top scholar has been abandoned all the time, and now the woman has come to the door."

"Yes, I heard that the girl's belly is big."

"I saw that the woman's belly is as big as a watermelon."

"No, the woman's belly is flat, but she is holding a little baby drinking milk."

"Where is only one? He is holding a five or six-year-old child."

The rumors become more and more mysterious.

However, there are also smart people: "The top scholar is 14 years old and the hair is not yet fully grown. Is it still a little bit whether I can do that? How could I have a child, and I am still five or six years old? If the top scholar really has a child, that would be a monster. I think the woman is pretty, and it seems to be a child bride."

"Yes, the top scholar is now successful and famous, and looks down on his wife who is average and much older than him."

"Have you heard that? Chen Shimei was released in the Ming Dynasty. Who? Of course, he is the top scholar. Now his wife is coming to the door."

The spread of rumors far exceeds the spread of truth. The name of the top scholar in the Ming Dynasty has not been familiar to the people in the capital, but he has always abandoned his reputation as abandoning his wife.

Zhu Youcheng heard the discussions of the people beside the Tao and blushed with shame, wishing to yell: "I don't know that crazy woman at all, I'm wronged."

Unfortunately, he couldn't shout, and when he shouted, he seemed even more guilty, so he had to comfort himself in his heart. The rumors stopped at the wise - but where in the capital is a wise man?

The head of the Ministry of Personnel ran over panting and said, "Mr. Zhu, there is an old friend blocking the road ahead. Do you think you are seeing him or not?"

"See, I want to see who dares to ruin my reputation."

The guard of honor in front was one point on both sides, and Zhu Youcheng beat the horse forward - he retreated and avoided when he encountered difficulties. It was not the character of the old Zhu family. Only by facing difficulties can he show his true nature.

Zhu Youcheng walked up to the woman and said, "This girl, who are you and why did you stop my guard of honor?"

The woman looked up and saw that she had thick eyebrows, round eyes, high nose, thick lips, a slightly pale face, and looked particularly haggard.

"Don't Mr. Zhu know me anymore?"

Zhu Youcheng felt that the woman was a little kind-faced, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her, so she shook her head and said, "Do I know you?"

"Minister Bear."

"I don't know you. But I advise you that if you have any wrongdoing, you will be blocked by others' paths at will on the road, which will only cause trouble for yourself."

After saying that, Zhu Youcheng turned his horse's head and prepared to go back.

Xiong Hu stood up and said loudly: "Zhu Youcheng, you are betrayal and you are fat when you break your word!"

Zhu Youcheng turned his horse's head and shouted loudly, "Miss, you and I have no grudges in the past and have no grudges recently. Why do you want to speak nonsense in broad daylight and destroy the reputation of my official?"

After saying that, Zhu Youcheng's eyes shot out two murderous auras. The person next to him was scanned by the light of Zhu Youcheng's eyes and was so scared that he took two steps back.

Xiong Hu was not afraid and said loudly: "Sir, I remember you once invited my father Xiong Tingbi in the first year of the Tianqi period, and said that when my father was in danger, he would lend a helping hand to ensure his safety. But now my father is locked in the prison and is about to be killed, but you ignore it. If you break your promise, what is it."

Zhu Youcheng had long known that Xiong Tingbi was arrested in the Heavenly Prison for losing a large area of ​​land in Liaodong, and inadvertently defeated Jiannu's plot to bribe important officials of the court and wanted to kill Xiong Tingbi, but he did not want to take Xiong Tingbi out, because Xiong Tingbi promised him nothing was done.

He asked him to retreat a few miles away, but he retreated hundreds of miles in a row to Shanhaiguan; he asked him to retreat the people, but he remained indifferent. Zhu Youcheng sent people to receive Liaodong refugees outside Beijing, but did not receive a large number of people who returned to the pass, only scattered people who sneaked into the pass.

Zhu Youcheng sneered and said, "Yes, I did promise Xiong Tingbi to protect him. However, there are prerequisites, that is, Xiong Tingbi should try to retreat as few as possible when he retreats. As a result, he would retreat hundreds of miles and hand over the millions of square miles outside the Ming Pass to Yu Jiannu. I want Xiong Tingbi to protect the people as much as possible, but what is the truth? Two million Han people in Liaodong died tragically. Now there is no chicken crowing thousands of miles outside the pass, and no one is inhabited by a hundred miles. This is the credit of your father, the governor of Liaodong, Lord Xiong!"

When the people next to him heard Zhu Youcheng's righteous words, they nodded and looked at Xiong Hu with contempt.

Xiong Hu was stunned and said illegitimately: "This... there is a reason..."

When the head of the Ministry of Personnel saw Xiong Hu hesitating and knew that the details inside were not worthy of being told by outsiders, he made publicly in this place where people were talking, which would damage the face of the Ming court. He pulled Zhu Youcheng's sleeve and said, "Zhuang Yuan, don't ask here, I'll let the soldiers take her away."

Zhu Youcheng nodded and said to Xiong Hu: "This matter will be discussed after my parade is over. You can go to the children's playground to wait first. If there is any inside story, Prince Xin and I will definitely seek justice for your father."

Xiong Hu followed the guards and the head of the Ministry of Personnel whispered to Zhu Youcheng: "Mr. Zhu, there are too many things involved in Xiong Tingbi's affairs, and no one in the capital dares to take care of it. Although the Lord is in charge of the holy family, don't cause such a big trouble."

Zhu Youcheng knew that he had good intentions, so he smiled at him and said, "If you are poor, you will be safe, and if you are prosperous, you will be able to help the world. After Xiong Tingbi, no one can defend Liaodong. If Xiong Tingbi is saved, a good general will be left for the Ming Dynasty and the northeast border will be safe for ten years, so what if it is troublesome?"

The head of the Ministry of Personnel bowed and said, "The top scholar is concerned about the world. No wonder he was given high hopes by the emperor when he was in Wushao and became the commander of all officials."

"So I cannot let down the holy grace. I must work hard to work hard for the prosperity and strength of the Ming Dynasty."

After saying that, Zhu Youcheng rode his horses and walked towards the middle of the parade, singing "Loyalty for the Country" while riding.

"The smoke rises, the country looks north,..."

Zhu Youcheng was in the voice change period, and his voice was hoarse, adding a bit of vicissitudes and majesty to this song.

This song comes from later generations. Zhu Youcheng felt that this song was majestic and exciting and could boost morale, so he designated it as the military song of the Jinyiwei of the Huangzhuang in the West of Jing. It was not only sung in the military camp, but also as a reserved program for the children's theater. Of course, the lyrics after the lyrics were changed to the Ming Dynasty.

Most people in the capital also learned this song. When Zhu Youcheng sang this song, they couldn't help but echo softly.

Zhu Youcheng returned to the middle of the parade, and the stopped parade slowly moved forward.

At this time, the drum band forgot to beat the drums and drums, and everyone sang "Loyalty for the Country" together, and the people in the capital also sang together, and the passionate singing stopped the clouds.

As you go along, you will be singing along the way.

Everyone looked at the handsome young man on the horse, as if they saw a young white-robed general about to lead his troops to lead the Ming Dynasty from one victory to another.
