Zhang Hao told Zhang Rong that he had a way to deal with them. If he really wanted to fight, he could fight, but Zhang Rong didn't take it seriously. He knew his son and could not have any solutions.

"Dad, I really have a way. Although I dare not say that I will wipe out them all, at least it can shock the Tatar soldiers!" Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Rong very sincerely and said.

Zhang Hao knew that Zhang Rong had always hoped to learn from his ancestor Zhang Fu, to make achievements for the Ming Dynasty and be famous in history. However, Zhang Rong's martial arts skills were mediocre and never commanded any battles. Zhang Hao also wanted to help Zhang Rong, and also wanted to consolidate Zhang Rong's position in Jiajing's mind.

Jiajing was good at the British Duke's mansion and trusted Zhang Rong. This was why Jiajing refused to let Zhang Rong command. He was also worried that Zhang Rong would be in trouble. It is certain that after this battle, the guards of the capital would be handed over to Zhang Rong, and Jiajing still believed Zhang Rong.

"What can you do?" Zhang Rong had just finished reading the official documents and sat down next to the fire.

"Dad, give me a few hundred kilograms of pig iron, and a few hundred kilograms of gunpowder, and some craftsmen, please see if I get a good thing for you." Zhang Hao sat there, smiling and said as he looked at Zhang Rong.

"That's not possible. Pig iron and gunpowder need to be registered and cannot be given to others at will!" Zhang Rong waved his hand and said.

"Then you just need to get me a few dozen kilograms, but okay, give me more craftsmen!" Zhang Hao sat there and continued begging.

"You kid, gunpowder is very dangerous!" Zhang Rong still disagreed.

"Dad, I don't move it, I just let those craftsmen do some work!" Zhang Hao explained.

Zhang Rong found that his son talked a little too much today, and usually he sat there motionlessly at this time. If you didn’t ask him, he wouldn’t speak, but today, he actually took the initiative to talk to himself.

"Hao'er, you... do you feel unusual today?" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Ah?" Zhang Hao heard this and was over, and he was exposed and failed just the first day.

"Well, forget it, if it can be done, okay, Dad can give you 100 kilograms of pig iron, but I can't give you more gunpowder!" Zhang Rong didn't plan to ask. No matter what, this is his son. If he could become smarter, that would be great.

"Thank you dad!" Zhang Hao stood up as he said.

"Yeah, sit down!" Zhang Rong said to Zhang Hao.

"Dad, now you will give me craftsmen, pig iron and gunpowder. I want to prepare things!" Zhang Hao stood there and urged Zhang Rong to say.

"Okay~!" Zhang Rong had no choice but to think to himself, just pretending to coax his son. His son performed well today.

At this moment, on Jiajing's side, Lu Bing handed two reports to Jiajing. The first was Ding Rukui's son robbed Zhang Hao's money and stayed overnight in the brothel. The second was Qiu Luan's report bribing the Tatar Khan Altan with a large sum of money. The two aides, Hou Rong and Shi Yi, conspired with Qiu Luan.

"Shame, this is the shame of my Ming Dynasty!" After reading the second report, Jiajing was so angry that his body trembled and threw the memorial to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Fang and Lu Bing immediately knelt down and persuaded Jiajing.

"Everything is hidden from me, ah, all from me, look, look!" Jiajing pointed to the memorial on the ground and shouted to Lu Bing and Lu Fang.

"Emperor, I am dereliction of duty. Please punish me!" Lu Bing knelt there and kowtowed.

"Even the soldiers outside know, I don't know yet, huh? When are you going to hide it from me?" Jiajing's anger was not yet gone, so he continued to stare at Lu Bing and question.

Of course he had to question Lu Bing about this matter. Lu Bing was in charge of the Jinyiwei and the investigation of officials in the world, but he did not report such a big deal.

"I know the crime, please punish me!" Lu Bing said with a kowtow.

"Who recommended Qiu Luan?" Jiajing sat there and suddenly asked.

"Back to the emperor, it's Lord Yan Song and Yan!" Lu Fang replied.

"Check, Qiu Luan, how many benefits have he delivered to Yan Song!" Jiajing suddenly spoke.

"Yes!" Lu Bing knelt there and kowtowed again.

"And there is this Ding Rukui, how to educate his son? I was trapped in the capital. He actually stayed in a brothel overnight and dared to steal Zhang Manzi's money? Who gave him the courage to steal the money from the British Duke's second son in broad daylight? Investigate and continue to investigate Ding Rukui's son's illegal affairs! I want to see what he has done!" Jiajing stared at Lu Bing and said.

"Yes, I'll check it right away!" Lu Bing said.

"I will only investigate Ding Rukui's son. After the investigation, I will send it to me. If a fourth person knows, I will not spare you!" Jiajing warned Lu Bing.

Now Ding Rukui is still the Minister of War, and now the Tatar army is outside the city. Jiajing doesn't want anything to happen at this time.

"Yes, the emperor!" Lu Bing nodded and said.

"Go out!" Jiajing waved his hand and Lu Bing immediately went out.

At this time, Lu Fang stood up and picked up the memorial on the ground.

"Zhang Manzi has made contributions, but it's a pity that Zhang Rong is not easy. The eldest son has nowhere to be found for so many years, and he is weak and sick. The manzi has a brain problem, hey!" Jiajing suddenly talked about Zhang Hao at this moment.

When Lu Fang heard this, he spoke, "The British Duke and his family are loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations. Yesterday, a war outside the city was fought. Zhang Rong commanded 5,000 people to fight against the Tatars. However, the soldiers were not trained enough and were defeated by the Tatars. Fortunately, Zhang Hao rushed in and rescued the trapped soldiers and killed many enemies!"

"Well, after this battle, let Zhang Manzi come to me, and let the imperial doctor go to see Zhang Li! No one can succeed!" Jiajing said, touching his forehead.

"Yes, the emperor!" Lu Fang nodded, and then said, "It's time to choose a guard. Then let the noble children come and choose!"

"Well, you can remind me then!" Jiajing said, and Lu Fang nodded.

Lu Fang has always been by Jiajing's side and has served Jiajing since she was a child. She has gained the trust of Jiajing, and this person is also very upright.

At this moment, at Yan Song's mansion, Ding Rukui came to visit Yan Song late at night to ask about countermeasures for defending the city.

Yan Song sat there and thought for a while. He originally asked Qiu Luan to command this time, but unexpectedly, he was injured by Zhang Hao before he took office. Now he is still recuperating in the mansion.

"The capital is no better than other places. If you lose the battle, you can still hide it. However, this is at the foot of the emperor, so it is better not to be able to defend it!" Yan Song thought about it and said.

"Yes, this official knows, but the Tatar soldiers have been killing, burning and robbing in the suburbs. If they don't go to war, it may cause rebellion among the people!" Ding Rukui said worriedly.

If the court does not send troops out, the people will definitely complain, and it may cause civil unrest.

"It's okay, the Tatars went deep into the capital and did not dare to stay for a long time. I believe that they would withdraw within ten days, especially when the royal army from all over the country arrived, they would withdraw. You just need to guard the capital well and don't let the Tatars break the city defense of the capital! As for the people, if they dare to rebel at the feet of the emperor, they would be seeking death." Yan Song was still sitting there and said calmly.

"Yes, then, the subordinates will restrain the defenders and are not allowed to take the initiative. However, now that Zhang Rong is controlling the north, Zhang Rong may not listen to me." Ding Rukui said and became worried again.

"If he wants to fight, let him fight. If he is defeated, naturally the emperor will punish him. It would be better if he defeated him. What are you worried about this?" Yan Song turned his head and looked at Ding Rukui, but his face was still expressionless.

"This!" Ding Rukui was still a little worried.

Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, stared at Ding Rukui with dissatisfaction and said, "What's wrong with this? If Zhang Rong wants to beat him, let him beat him. Also, what's going on with Qiu Luan? Is it really Zhang Manzi beat him? Or is it Zhang Rong who asked Zhang Manzi to beat him?

This matter needs to be investigated clearly. The defenders of the capital are not Zhang Rong's private army. Zhang Rong actually dared to send someone to injured the chief general sent by the emperor. Dad, this matter must be investigated strictly!"

"Yeah!" Yan Song nodded without saying a word.

Ding Rukui looked at Yan Song, then turned his head and said to Yan Shifan: "The fact is indeed Zhang Manzi fought. The accompanying generals said so. And at the beginning, they didn't know that this was Zhang Manzi, and they thought it was Zhang Rong's personal soldier."

"Then you must also investigate it strictly. There must be something tricky inside. If you ask Qiu Luan and other generals to insist, Zhang Hao was unreasonable. Qiu Luan asked him to leave, but he would not leave. The captain behind him went to pull him up. He rushed to kill someone. He said that there was news that Zhang Rong deliberately instructed him!" Yan Shifan still did not intend to let Zhang Rong go.

Because Zhang Rong was there, they had many things that were inconvenient to do. Even Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the others, could not handle them.

"Ge Lao Yan? Do you have any more?" Ding Rukui turned to look at Yan Song.

"Don't say that it was Zhang Rong's instructor, the emperor would not believe it. Otherwise, he would not let Zhang Rong guard the north and stare at Zhang Manzi. Injuring the main general is related to the defense of the capital. The crime is unforgivable. Zhang Rong's eldest son has never been there. If Zhang Hao is killed, the British Duke will be left without successor." Yan Song said with his eyes closed.

"Ah, yes, dad!" Yan Shifan's eyes lit up when he heard this. His father was still wise. He hit the Zhang family's seven inches. Then he instructed Ding Rukui and said, "Tomorrow, let the Ministry of War officials participate in Zhang Manzi, and I will also let other censors participate together. We must let the emperor punish Zhang Manzi!"

"Yes, the official knows!" Ding Rukui nodded immediately and hated Zhang Manzi in his heart. Now his son is still wearing a partition on his right hand, and his face is not decent. If he does not avenge this revenge, he will be ashamed of the Minister of War.

The next morning, a large number of memorials from Zhang Hao were sent to the cabinet, and now there are only Yan Song and Lu Ben in the cabinet, among which Yan Song is the chief minister.

"This, Zhang Manzi? Zhang Manzi is not a court official, this?" Lu Ben said with those memorials and looked at Yan Song in embarrassment.

"Well, Zhang Manzi injured Qiu Luan. Qiu Luan was originally the chief general who defended the city this time. You know the situation in the capital now. If there is no chief general, what should we do if the defending the city fails? The officials below are probably worried about this, and they still need to let the emperor know!" Yan Song sat there and spoke.

"Hey, but Zhang Manzi is a child, and he is a fool, this..." Lu Ben still didn't want to send it to him.

Yan Song looked up at Lu Ben and continued, "We dare not suppress the memorials of so many officials. Let the Silijian decide!"
