The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 367 The Queen's Edict

Zhu Houzhao was just about to take a closer look at this man, wondering why he knew his identity as the crown prince.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed out of Donghua Gate, swooped in front of Zhang Yong, and kicked him hard.

"Liu, Brother Liu, it's our Zhang Yong!" Zhang Yong held his head.

Liu Jin saw it, wasn't this the Zhang Yong who fawned on him all day in the East Palace?

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly: "I've been married for more than a year, and you just came back, where is the relic!"

Zhang Yong almost cried, Yan Chengjin, that dog official, tricked him into going to the Kingdom of Sindhu to find the relic.

But there is no relic in the world.

"No, I didn't find it, Your Highness, the black and white sacred cow we brought back was robbed by Zhang Yanling."

Didn't the Earl of Jianchang die?

Zhu Houzhao looked thoughtful and became serious when he looked at Zhang Yong. "You mean Earl Jianchang?"

"That's right, Your Highness. Earl Jianchang is really abominable. He robbed five black and white sacred cows.

I heard from people in Sindhu that their cows are the mounts of the gods, and they are more effective than the Taoist priests in Lingji Palace.

I brought them back specially for you to use as a mount."

The Taoist priests in Lingji Palace participated in every ceremony or sacrifice in the palace, and they were very trusted by the palace.

Zhu Houzhao was delighted and said, "Go back to the palace. Earl Jianchang is not dead. My mother will be happy."

Soon, Zhu Houzhao came to Kunning Palace. Empress Zhang was chatting with the Crown Princess. When they talked about Zhu Houzhao, he came in.

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Mother, the Earl of Jianchang is back."

Empress Zhang was frightened and said: "The first seven days have passed, don't talk nonsense anymore."

Zhang had a knot in her heart for Zhang Yanling. She didn't ask the court to send troops to rescue him at the beginning. At this time, she felt very guilty.

Zhu Houzhao knew that his mother never took his words seriously, so he winked at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin walked in with Zhang Yong and knelt on the ground: "My queen, I was locked in a cage with the Earl of Jiancang. Today, we returned to the capital together."

Empress Zhang's eyes were slightly moist, and even her breathing became rapid. Although the Zhang brothers didn't know her kindness, they were her brothers after all.

"It's good that he's back. Tell me that the Marquis of Jianchang left Beijing without permission and will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane! Go to the palace to execute him."

Wei Tai bowed slightly and reminded his master: "My lady, His Majesty has taken back the mansion, farm and shop of the Marquis of Jianchang. Now that the Marquis of Jianchang is back..."

Empress Zhang said coldly: "No one will be withdrawn! Just treat it as a punishment for his leaving Beijing. If you dare to enter the palace to disturb him, you will be punished for rebellion."

The princes are not allowed to leave their fiefdoms. If they want to leave their fiefdoms, they need to beg from the court.

Although the Marquis of Jianchang and the Marquis of Shouning had no fiefdoms, they were ordered by His Majesty in their early years to stay in the capital.

He went to the northwest without begging from the palace, ignoring the court's laws.

Zhu Houzhao was a little uneasy. When his mother was angry, she was more frightening than his father.

"Mother, I'm going back to the East Palace."

He wanted to go out of the palace to see the black and white divine cow that Zhang Yong talked about, riding a cow to the battlefield, sounded silly.

But Zhu Houzhao still wanted to see it.

The foreigners have many magical things. After seeing Yan Chengjin's French dog, he was curious about the French pigs, cows, and sheep.

Empress Zhang was relieved, but she blamed: "Go back to the East Palace to study, and don't sneak out of the palace all day."

"I know." Zhu Houzhao said honestly.

After coming out of Kunning Palace, Zhu Houzhao decided to go to Fengtian Hall first and squat on the imperial steps.

At this time, his father was discussing matters in the hall, and the masters would take a detour when they saw him.

So, Zhu Houzhao was not afraid to wander around here.

Liu Jin asked bitterly, "Your Highness, what are we doing here?"

As the long-time eunuch of the East Palace, he was caught by Xiao Jing and was punished for hanging out with His Highness.

It would also be reported to His Majesty.

Zhu Houzhao grinned, showing his bright white teeth: "Wait for Lao Gao, Lao Gao is familiar with the foreign things of the French.

If I go alone, I can't recognize what the black and white sacred cow is."

After waiting for a long time on the imperial steps, I saw the officials filing out of the hall.

Yan Chengjin was stunned for a moment. Even Zhang Yong came back.

Are all the bandits in the northwest noobs?

Zhang Yong was still a little scared when he saw Yan Chengjin: "I am Zhang Yong, your servant, and I meet Lord Yan."

The air fell into silence. Yan Chengjin did not respond, which made Zhang Yong even more scared. He knelt down suddenly.

Yan Chengjin remained silent, thinking about where there was a riot and needed to send someone there.

Zhu Houzhao came up and said seriously: "Lao Gao, Zhang Yong brought back the black and white sacred cow. What he said is mysterious. I don't believe it.

You go with me to see it."

Zhang Yong went to the Kingdom of Sindhu. The country worshipped cows as sacred objects. Black and white?

Yan Chengjin guessed what it was, a dairy cow!

He was ecstatic. He was growing up and had milk to drink.

"How many cows are there?"

Zhang Yong said in an inciteful way: "There are five. Jianchang Bo took them away. I even advised him. He said he was not afraid of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao didn't care: "I am not a tyrant. Why should I be afraid of me? Lao Gao, let's go."

Yan Chengjin calculated frantically in his heart. These five dairy cows must not be taken away by Zhu Houzhao, let alone fall into the hands of the Zhang brothers.

In short, they are all his.

……

Jiancang Bo's Mansion,

Zhang Yanling was holding the cow rope and looking at the mansion eagerly, stunned.

The plaque on the door is gone.

"Whoever robbed my mansion, I will report him to the police and beat him to death!"

Zhang Yanling jumped up in anger, dropped the cow rope, walked quickly to the door, pushed it and found that the door was locked.

At this moment, Wei Tai came with four eunuchs.

"The empress ordained her, and Jian Changbo received the order."

Zhang Yanling turned around and found that it was the eunuch in charge of Queen Zhang's palace. He walked over and said, "Eunuch Wei, who has taken over my lordship's mansion!"

Wei Tai said sadly: "Your Majesty will receive the order first, and you will know it after receiving the order."

Zhang Yanling knelt on the ground angrily. When he heard Queen Zhang's order to confiscate his mansion, shop and farm, he fell to the ground on the spot and fainted.

Four eunuchs carried him to the bench and began the execution.

Just like slapping pork on a chopping board, it moves once.

When Zhang Yanling woke up, she cried and cried. When the execution was over, she got up and tightened the cow rope as if nothing had happened, for fear of being snatched away.

Wei Tai sighed a few times and took out a tael of silver from his belt, "Sir, go buy a bun to eat."

Zhang Yanling's eyes lit up, he took the money and prepared to go to Shouning Hou Mansion to find Zhang Heling.

But they met Yan Chengjin and Zhu Houzhao.

Yan Chengjin’s eyes shone, what a cow!

However, these five cows have lost some fat and are so thin that their ribs can be seen vaguely.

It must be because of the long journey.

Zhang Yong pointed at the cow and said as if taking credit for it: "Your Highness, this is the black and white sacred cow that my slave has found."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Yan Chengjin and said excitedly: "Lao Gao, is this really a sacred cow?"

Yan Chengjin was ecstatic, but his face was extremely calm: "The hair color is just different.

Just like chickens are black, yellow, and white.

If it is really a sacred cow, how could it be so thin? It is not a sacred cow. "

Zhang Yanling looked back and saw that the five cows were very thin and wilted, and she immediately believed Yan Chengjin's words.

"Do you want to sell it to you for one thousand taels of silver?"

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "Two hundred taels, no more."

A farm cow only sells for tens or hundreds of taels. Zhang Yanling is not a fool. He always wants to give the queen some face. Two hundred taels is the price for buying a cow.

Buying cows can make a lot of money, and Liangxiang Dairy is just around the corner.
