[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Ma Cong asked curiously: "Old Man Lan, what's so weird about this gun?" Ma Cong deliberately took the gun as a gift for Old Man Lan when he fled.Anyway, the emperor bestowed countless things on the Ma family, and there were quite a few things missing, so there was no harm in borrowing them for a while.In case the old man Lan is really hard-hearted and won't let him go, he will bribe him with this gun.What's more, thinking of the heavy rain on the way, the appearance of his master and servant in trouble is so pitiful. Now that the old man Lan put himself into the house early, this gun is naturally the icing on the cake for the old man Lan to play with.

The old man Lan assembled the gun in twos and twos, and said excitedly: "With this gun, our Ming army will be invincible in the world." Seeing that he said so firmly, Ma Cong doubted: "Where is such an exaggeration, old man Lan, you It's a lie." Lan Licheng couldn't see others questioning him, so he glanced at Ma Cong and said with a contemptuous smile, "You know guns too?" He sat down on a bench and stopped talking there, expressing that he was really angry.

Seeing that he was annoyed, the old man Lan also felt embarrassed, and wanted to apologize, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.Seeing these two live treasures, one is a young master, the other is in his sixtieth year, but he is still fighting like a child, he just wants to hold his forehead and sigh.The master is useless, so Ma Gui will naturally take over.

"Master Lan, don't underestimate this thing. It was given to my master by the emperor, and my young master stole it from the altar. I just thought that you like this object, master, so I just brought it." Ma Gui saw Lan Li Cheng became more and more embarrassed, his puffed chest slowly collapsed, he snickered in his heart and added to his anger: "If the master finds out, the young master will inevitably give him another beating, you are still here to play with him."

Although Ma Cong is a jerk, but his little boy is so confused, he is still embarrassed, and he is embarrassed to get angry again.

The sound of the rain outside was getting quieter, presumably because the heavy rain came and went quickly, Ma Cong changed the subject and said: "The rain is about to stop, Ma Gui, go and wash your clothes." As soon as the words fell, Ma Gui laughed out loud Well, the young master of his family has always kept his appearance, so he would not care about such things, so it can be seen that he is not self-conscious.

Knowing the origin of this gun, Lan Licheng thought about going to meet Ma Wensheng after the rain stopped to find out which craftsman made this gun.Ma Gui told a lie in order to coax the two to reconcile, but Lan Licheng didn't know that the two had escaped from home, so he was about to hit the gun.

After three days of fun, Zhu Houzhao took Zhu Houwei back to the palace happily.Du Ruo also entered the palace to thank her.But Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded when he returned to Weiyang Palace. Where is his flintlock?After searching for a long time, Gao Feng, who was sent to Kunning Palace by Zhang, came back and told Zhu Houzhao that the box had been sent to Qianqing Palace.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao hurried to Qianqing Palace.When he arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youtang was writing memorials there. He was very happy to see the child who hadn't seen him for a few days came back, so he wanted to ask him how he was doing.Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao's first sentence was: "Father, where is the flintlock that Gao Feng sent over?"

Zhu Youtang thought it was just that Zhu Houzhao had never seen the power of a real fire/gun, so he was curious about such a broken gun, and said with a smile: "I saw that the gun was okay, so I gave it to Ma Wensheng."

Zhu Houzhao was worried that his treasure fell into the hands of other people, even if it was the Minister of the Ministry of War. "Daddy, how can you give Ma Wen a promotion? If he doesn't know the benefits of this thing, he can deal with it casually."

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao, who has always been steady and steady, was so anxious, Zhu Youtang also became a little interested. "What, you are so nervous. You want a gun. Next time Daddy will take you to the Beijing camp to see it, but that thing is dangerous..." Before Zhu Youtang could finish speaking, Zhu Houzhao snapped him off. "Daddy, that's not an ordinary musket, it's a flintlock."

Dad is blind to weapons, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't explain it well, so he had to plead: "How about I go out of the palace today to get it back?" Zhu Youtang wondered: "There is no reason to get back the things I sent out, Dad will pay you back." How are you?"

Zhu Houzhao was so anxious that he was about to cry. Seeing him, Zhu Youtang was anxious to say this, and he didn't want to just save face and watched the child anxious, and said in surprise: "What are you doing in such a hurry, isn't it just an object, Yuci Ma Wensheng must not dare to neglect the things that belonged to him, and he will send someone to retrieve them tomorrow."

Zhu Houzhao was still worried. He had given Ma Wensheng three days. What if he found some people who didn't understand to dismantle the thing, so he decided to get it back today.

"Since you're determined to go, I'm tired today, so I'll walk with you." Zhu Youtang put down the vermilion pen, stretched and stood up. "Jiang Cong, prepare your clothes. Today we will follow your example and visit you in private."

It was just looking for a gun, which alarmed his father. Zhu Houzhao felt that he might be too anxious, and persuaded him: "Daddy, I'll go and find it. Why do you follow me? If something happens, it will be fine." Zhu Houzhao Youtang smiled and said, "You little boy, are you not in a hurry now? Well, I'm tired of reviewing the papers, so let's relax today." The three of them changed their clothes, and summoned the plainclothes Jin Yiwei to go to the Ma Mansion and go.

Autumn is the time to prepare for autumn harvest and winter storage. The whole journey in a horse-drawn carriage was full of prosperity and bustle. Zhu Youtang only felt comfortable when he saw it, and he was happier than having approved dozens of good news papers.

When we arrived at the gate of the Ma Mansion, there were only a few servants guarding the gate, and none of the stewards who should be in charge were there.Zhu Houzhao frowned, feeling that the Ma Mansion was too unruly, and there was not even anyone who could make a little decision. If there was an urgent matter, would it be possible to rely on these people to spread the word?On the contrary, Jiang Cong came to convey the decree a few times and got familiar with it. A clever young servant saw him and hurried inside to deliver the message.The master is still teaching the young master, it's outrageous to keep this father-in-law waiting.

In the inner courtyard, Ma Wensheng was teaching his son who ran away privately again, and he was taken back from Lan Licheng today, Ma Wensheng was really angry.He had already beaten a dozen boards, and he did it himself. Ma Cong was in pain crying for his father and mother, and Mrs. Ma also held back her tears and did not stop Ma Wensheng from letting her husband teach this really useless son there.All the managers around stood there watching Ma Cong being beaten, and it was Ma Wensheng who warned them not to indulge Ma Cong again.

Hearing that the young man said that Eunuch Jiang was coming, Ma Wensheng hurriedly stopped.This is a big celebrity in front of the current saint, and now he came to the door suddenly, and he didn't know what was important.Ma Wensheng didn't bother to teach Ma Cong a lesson, and put down his harsh words: "This time, I will spare you for the time being. The matter is only three, and next time it will not be as simple as today. I will definitely break your dog legs."

Ma Cong was already so painful that he was about to pass out. Now that he knew that his father was going to stop, he reluctantly admitted his mistake and said, "There will never be another time." Carry it in and take the medicine quickly, please ask the doctor.

Here Ma Wensheng couldn't figure out what Jiang Cong was here for, and the servant who sent the message was also vague, so he only came to see Jiang Cong in homely clothes.When I arrived at the Xiaohua hall, I saw the emperor and the prince sitting there, with Jiang Cong standing beside him.I was shocked at the moment.Immediately knelt down to pay respects and said: "Long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the prince."

Zhu Youtang helped him up with his own hands and said: "I am going on tour today, so I don't need to care about these etiquettes." Ma Wensheng stood up and asked respectfully: "The Holy Majesty is here, I don't know why?"

When Zhu Youtang looked around first, he found that all the furnishings in Ma's house were simple and generous, and he was very relieved.Therefore, he still praised Ma Wensheng and said: "This room is well furnished, very good, very good." Ma Wensheng quickly declined to thank you, and Zhu Youtang said again: "The gun I took with you the day before yesterday belonged to the prince, and the children made noise If you want to find him endlessly, I can only bring him to you."

Ma Wensheng quickly said that he didn't dare, so he sent someone to fetch the imperial fire/spear from the ancestral hall, and personally took the best tea to brew, and poured tea for Zhu Youtang.

Poor Ma Wensheng was in a hurry to find Ma Cong back, and when Lan Licheng found out Ma Cong's whereabouts, he went to kill him. He didn't care that the emperor's gift was taken away by Ma Cong.Where can I find that thing in the ancestral hall today.After a while, the people who had gone before came back, anxiously avoiding the crowd and whispering to Ma Wensheng.When Ma Wensheng heard this, his blood rushed to his head, and he was about to pass out. He must have been this rebellious son. He was the only one in the ancestral hall two days ago, so he must have done it.

The loss of an imperial gift is a matter of great importance to the Ma Mansion where the holy family is strong, and it is not something like the imperial decree jade seal, but it happened that the emperor came to the mansion to retrieve it in person, but the things disappeared. , this matter became a big deal.

It would be too late to find it now, and the tone of the emperor seems to belong to the prince.Thinking about the crown prince's playthings are not important things, my son has already been beaten half to death by myself, even though he is the only child of Nizi, I can't bear to let him be accused of destroying the imperial gifts, so why don't you just replace it yourself? He took it.

So he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The guilty minister is guilty." Zhu Youtang was frightened by him and asked, "What happened to Ma Aiqing? Why do you call yourself guilty?"

Ma Wensheng said with a face of self-blame: "The guilty minister was naughty the day before yesterday, and the guilty minister was eager to teach the dog a lesson, and accidentally broke the gun of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"What did you say?" Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he wanted to splash the cup of tea on his face, but he broke the things just like that. You teach your son what to do with my things.Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he finally calmed down, and asked: "What about the broken things? I will take back the broken ones." Now Zhu Houzhao can only imagine that Du Ruo's gun is strong enough to not fall It's bad, but it works.

Ma Cong took all the things away, so what was left, Ma Wensheng had no choice but to excuse: "The guilty minister broke something and was terrified, and it has been handed over to the craftsmen in charge of fire/guns in the Beijing camp to repair it. If His Royal Highness wants to Yes, after the thing is repaired, the guilty minister will submit it."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao thought to himself that he still had some winks, and he knew that he wanted to take it for repairs, but he was afraid that the craftsmen would be ignorant and repair it randomly, so he said: "Since Mr. Ma is here, I will not hide it. Anyway, this thing In the end, it will all be in your hands. That gun is called a flintlock gun. It is a rare object that An Guogong found from the people. This matter is no small matter, and I hope Master Ma will call them to pay more attention."

Regardless of whether what Zhu Houzhao said was true or not, anyway, Ma Wensheng was targeting Ma Cong again, and this kid deserved to be beaten to death for causing such a disaster.
