Chapter 43: On duty
Chapter 43
When Zhang Hao heard Zhang Rong's words, he was so surprised. With Ding Rukui's confession, Jiajing would definitely believe it. Just like that, there is no punishment? It makes Zhang Hao a little difficult to understand.
"Hao'er, you don't understand. Who the emperor wants to punish? It depends on whether this person is useful or not, not just how much crime he committed. As long as it is not a rebellion, Yan Song, the emperor is useful now. Think about it, there are only Lu Ben and Yan Song left in the cabinet. Lu Ben will probably be able to withstand one or two years, no one is there!" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao and explained.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he couldn't understand it even more. Xu Jie was also very capable, so why couldn't he enter the cabinet? There were also several other departments, and they were all very powerful figures, so why was there no one left?
"Dad, how could there be no one? There are so many officials in Beijing, but there are still people?" Zhang Hao looked up at Zhang Rong and asked.
"Silly boy, there are many officials in Beijing, but who can make money? Now the court is not enough to make ends meet, and rebellions are constantly occurring in various places, which requires a lot of money. Only Yan Song can get the money!" Zhang Rong said with a smile.
Of course he knew the difficulties of the court and Jiajing.
"Dad, what do you mean is that as long as the court can get money, Yan Song's value will be greatly reduced, and even said that he is worried about his life?" Zhang Hao expressed his understanding.
"It's almost the same, but collecting taxes requires Yan Song's people and the salt and iron income from various places, and it also depends on Yan Song. It is difficult to do without Yan Song. Do you think the emperor doesn't know about Yan Song, but he just knows it and has no choice, do you understand?" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao and explained.
"Oh, I understand, then this testimony?" Zhang Hao asked, pointing to the letter on Zhang Rong's hand.
"The gift is to be delivered, and the emperor needs to keep it, and maybe it will come in handy at any time." Zhang Rong took the letter, thought about it for a while, and spoke.
"Then... Ding Rukui must die?" Zhang Hao continued to ask.
"Well, it is inevitable that he will die. I just don't know if this letter can protect his family. I'll visit you tomorrow. One is to apologize. After all, you beat someone, and the other is to test it!" Zhang Rong said after thinking for a while.
"Dad, apologize to him? What a joke? If he wants to kill us father and son, we will apologize to him!" When Zhang Hao heard this, he was unhappy and had to divide the apology.
"It was not him who killed our father and son, but Yan Song. In addition, I went there to show it to others. We can't say that our Zhang family has no tutors. Why should we care about the dying person?" Zhang Rong persuaded Zhang Hao and said.
Zhang Hao nodded helplessly.
"Okay, if you are bored, just read the book. If you really can't read it, just go to bed!" Zhang Rong stood up and said to Zhang Hao.
"knew!"
"Remember, you will get up early tomorrow and go to the emperor to work as a job. Now you are a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and you are walking in the palace!" Zhang Rong continued to explain to Zhang Hao.
"Oh!" Zhang Hao nodded still.
Actually, I was thinking in my heart that Made Yan Song was so powerful that the emperor would not investigate him, just because he could make money, he would do it himself, and he would definitely be better than him.
However, it cannot be revealed now, so take it slowly. The most important thing now is to leave the palace as soon as possible. You cannot be a guard for Jiajing. If you stay with the crazy for a long time, you will become a crazy.
And being a part of the game is boring, so it’s better to come back and lie down at home. Anyway, I am an earl, I have good land and salary, and I don’t lack money. If I really lack money, I can get a lot of things out.
After Zhang Rong left, Zhang Hao simply returned to the bedroom and lay down. He had to sleep even if he couldn't sleep. There was no way. There was no entertainment in this era. You can't go to brothels, right? If your father found out, his legs would be interrupted.
Early the next morning, after Zhang Hao got up, he carried the hammer and went straight to his elder brother's yard.
"Brother, get up, get up quickly and exercise!" Zhang Hao patted the door and shouted loudly.
"Brother is feeling uncomfortable today, will you go there another day?" Zhang Li said loudly inside.
Early in the morning, are you uncomfortable inside the bed? Still going to exercise?
"Sister-in-law, you should put on your clothes quickly. I'm going to smash the door soon!" Zhang Hao stood outside and shouted loudly.
"You dare!" Zhang Li also sat up inside and said loudly.
"When~"
"Click!" The door bolt broke.
"Sister-in-law, I won't come in first!" Zhang Hao stood outside and shouted, "I can't go in."
"Zhang Manzi, you're crazy. You smashed the door of my bedroom?" Zhang Li was so angry. This bastard is so bold.
"I dare to remove it. Next time you don't get up, I will remove it, so that you can't close the door when you sleep!" Zhang Hao said proudly while standing outside.
"Okay, my husband, get up quickly, how can I sleep?" Ding Yu said with a smile.
When you meet such a younger brother, who can do it? It would be light to smash the door, just don’t hit people.
"I, me, he, oh!" Zhang Li was very depressed. He couldn't beat him even if he scolded him, and he wouldn't listen to him if he scolded him!
After Zhang Li put on his clothes, he kicked Zhang Hao as soon as he went out. Zhang Hao took the branch and began to pretend to want to suck it.
"Hey, will I believe it next time I take the knife out?" Zhang Li hurriedly avoided and threatened.
"You can't beat me, why bother?" Zhang Hao waved the branches proudly behind him.
Zhang Li and Zhang Hao went to the martial arts training ground. Today they mainly practiced their upper body. After practicing, Zhang Li felt that his hands were fighting and the muscles on his hands were twitching. Zhang Hao even massaged him, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable.
"Brother, I'm going to work as a worker in the palace today. Don't worry, I'll take time to come back in the morning to take you to exercise!" Zhang Hao carried Zhang Li and said while walking.
"It's best if you don't come back. Can you be a good person?" Zhang Li was so depressed. He had to come back even when he was a servant. Isn't this annoying?
After breakfast, Zhang Hao carried the hammer, changed into the clothes of Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, and went to Yuxi Palace. When Lu Fang saw him coming, he hurriedly met him.
"Here you come! I'll go inform you!" Lu Fang said with a smile as she looked at Zhang Hao.
"Uncle Lu, have you eaten?" Zhang Hao said very politely.
Lu Fang was already over fifty years old, much older than her father. It was not too much to call him uncle. Besides, I knew that this person was Jiajing’s true confidant. If you have a good relationship with him, you would suffer less losses.
"Well, I've eaten it!" When Lu Fang heard this, she felt that the child was very sensible. She thought he was very sensible before, but now she shouted like this, she was even happier.
Soon, Lu Fang went in and informed him, and then took Zhang Hao in.
"My minister Zhang Yuande and Zhang Hao, I have met the emperor, thank you for your kindness!" Zhang Hao knelt down and kowtowed.
"Well, get up. The clothes are quite fit. Why do you have a hammer again? Isn't you a knife?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao holding two hammers in his hand and immediately asked.
"Ah? Yes, but I don't bring it. This is useful. Really, Master, look at it. If you hit it, your brain will burst out with brains!" Zhang Hao said proudly, waving the hammer.
"Oh, OK, OK, this hammer will be placed in the mansion in the future. I will also prepare a pair of hammers for you here. Just go out normally and bring a knife with your waist!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao with a smile, knowing that he needed to explain it clearly to him, but he would not guess for you.
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Hao nodded.
"Get up, let Liu Yunhai come over and bring him to know Yuxi Palace!" Lu Fang said.
Liu Yunhai was responsible for the safety of Jiajing in the palace and was the policing envoy of the Jinyiwei.
"Yes, the emperor!" Lu Fang went out immediately.
After a while, he brought a middle-aged man in. The man was bearded and very short. He looked like a man who practiced martial arts all year round.
"My memory, Liu Yunhai has met the emperor!" Liu Yunhai knelt down and kowtowed.
"He is Zhang Hao. From today on, he will serve as my personal bodyguard, Jinyiwei Qianhu, you are responsible for teaching him!" Jiajing said to Liu Yunhai.
"Yes, but now there are people in the five thousand households below, how should we arrange it?" Liu Yunhai looked at Jiajing in surprise and said.
There are five thousand households under him, each thousand households with a real 1,120 people, and they are all elite.
"He doesn't lead subordinates, he is only responsible to me at this level! In addition, Zhang Hao is called Zhang Manzi, I believe you all know that, but don't provoke him. If he is beaten, I deserve it. If he is injured, I can't spare you! Tell those guards!" Jiajing stared at Zhang Yunhai and reminded.
It was obvious that I told Zhang Yunhai that you can't afford to offend this person.
"Yes, I know, I will take him to familiarize himself with the environment!" Zhang Yunhai felt a little sad when he heard Jiajing say this. It was really hard to mess with, but he felt much more relaxed. After all, if he did not hold a real position, no one of his subordinates would leave.
"Okay, take him over, Zhang Hao!" Jiajing nodded and said to Zhang Hao.
"I'm here!" Zhang Hao immediately bowed and said.
"After getting familiar with it, come to Yuxi Palace. No need to inform me, stand behind me!" Jiajing said and pointed to a pillar behind the Taoist platform.
"Ah, stand?" Zhang Hao said depressedly when he heard this.
"Let's do this, Lu Fang, put a stool next to it, yes, make another table!" Jiajing heard this and thought to himself that this kid is not an easy-to-serve master. What if he doesn't stand or stops doing it? Let him sit down.
"Yes, the emperor!" When Lu Fang heard this, she couldn't help but want to laugh, and Jiajing was also worried that this kid would be in trouble.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm out!" Zhang Hao felt much more relieved when he heard this. He didn't have to stand. There was a table that could at least sleep on his tummy.
Soon, Zhang Hao followed Zhang Yunhai out of Yuxi Palace.
"Follow me, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with all corners of Yuxi Palace, including the place where we arranged for escort!" Liu Yunhai said in front of him, looking at Zhang Hao with a serious face.
"Okay!" Zhang Hao nodded.
"This... Thousand Houses?" At this time, the three Thousand Houses found that Zhang Hao was also wearing Thousand House clothes and walked here, and he felt a bad premonition.
