Chapter 313: Madman
Nearly ten memorials were passed to Jinling by fast horses.
This matter is too big and no one can hold it back. Everyone has their own position. People, including the Guangxi governor who was surprised to hear the news, were writing the memorial at the first time and then ordering people to send it away in a hurry.
The current situation in Annan was strange. The Ming army calmed down, and they were able to kill and make trouble. They were satisfied, but soon discovered that the date of withdrawal seemed to be far away.
As a result, many people complained and could not be clamored. It was a pity that their clamor was ignored. After a short while, the voice disappeared. Who would blame me? I can only blame myself for what I deserved. Who told me that you would join in the fun that night?
Annan's palace has been burned and countless treasures have been looted, but no one has pursued this matter at the moment.
As for Annan's civil and military ministers, some people are dissatisfied with it, but now no one dares to act rashly. Everyone sweeps away the snow in front of the door and doesn't care about the frost on others. Things happened and can no longer be restored. Now they have become fish on the chopping board, and they are slaughtered, so they are all closed-doors.
However, there was anger accumulated inside Annan. Everyone was waiting and waiting for news. Even Hao Zheng rushed from Maizhou to Shenglong. Seeing this place full of broken walls, Hao Zheng almost fainted.
The matter was so serious that even Hao Zheng felt that the disaster was coming.
However, he did not blame Hao Fenglou because he knew in his heart that this son might have been a playboy in the past, but now he has done something he shouldn't have done. But this matter may not be wrong.
The only thing he does right now is to keep writing letters.
In the past two years in Jinling, he tried his best to make friends with others. Sometimes he even kept his breath, but now these relationships should be used.
He knew very well that the father and son were far away in Annan and could not affect the court. He handed over the memorials one by one, and the only thing he could do was to provide ammunition to the people in the temple, and the people who really decided the life and death of the Hao family were in Jinling.
Letters must not be the same, and it takes a lot of effort. If you want to get sympathy from others and support from others, you must be both emotional and emotional. If you do it perfunctorily, you will be the one who will be wrong in the end.
Hao Zheng has not slept well for several days. His eyes were black and red. He has lost a lot of weight.
Hao Fenglou has always come to greet him every now and then. When Hao Zheng saw him, the father and son just smiled bitterly. Hao Fenglou originally said that this old man must scold him. Who knew that Hao Zheng just shook his head and said, "The father doesn't want to distinguish what you do, because in this world, right or wrong is actually irrelevant. The most important thing is that before doing anything, I hope you can think about it again and again. Even if you don't do it, you should think about your mother and wife."
After teaching a few lessons, his mind was put on the letters again. After a few days, dozens of letters were completed and they were also sent out.
The whole Shenglong was extremely quiet, but after this silence, something seemed to be brewing. Everyone's eyes could not help but turn to Jinling, because everyone knew that in a few days, it would be up to the rain or the power of thunder.
Hao Fenglou's mood is not very good, nor is it very bad.
In fact, he found that he was quite heartless. So many people were worried about him and many were worried about him. But as the initiator of this incident, Hao Fenglou was still calm.
He took Zhu Zhiling to visit West Lake. The pleasure boats in the West Lake have disappeared. The repeated wars and endless palace changes and killings have caused the entire Shenglong industry to be depressed.
Fortunately, someone found a pleasure boat for Hao Fenglou. Dozens of guards were manipulating the pleasure boat. Hao Fenglou and Zhu Zhiling sat in the boat. The pleasure boat was floating in the middle of the lake. Hao Fenglou pushed open the paper window and looked at the sparkling lake water thoughtfully.
"I don't know what happened these days. Everyone was so angry that they couldn't get anything when they saw me. They just shook their heads..." Hao Fenglou smiled with his lips, took a sip of tea, and kept muttering: "Yes, everyone said I was confused and shouldn't have done such a thing. Some people cursed directly, and some people were holding it in, but I saw that they were even more uncomfortable."
"Look, can't people do whatever they want when they live? In fact... I'm just doing something that everyone wants to do but dare not do. Others think I'm a crazy fool, but I don't agree. If a person only cares about gains and losses, then what's the point of living? Mei... Ling'er, you haven't spoken, what do you think?"
Zhu Zhiling sighed and said, "This matter is too serious. Even if Your Majesty wants to protect you, do you understand or not, and all the civil and military officials in the court will not give up. Once you decide that you are dispatching troops without authorization and that you are killing the vassal king, this is a huge disaster. You want to be happy, but..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Zhiling's eyes dimmed.
Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said, "Actually... there is no way. Alas... I can't say now. Although I am impulsive, you have to understand that I am definitely not a person who cares about consequences. If I dare to kill Chen Tianping, I can protect myself. However... I still have to take a lot of risks. Some people in the court are no longer satisfied with me. At this time, they will inevitably make trouble. Alas... Chen Tianping is nothing. He thinks he is a chess player and treats everyone as his chess piece. But don't forget that in fact, he is really just a chess piece, just a disobedient chess piece. If the chess piece is disobedient, it will become an abandoned piece. The real competition is in the temple."
Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the breeze blowing on his face.
"If I... I'm really guilty and cannot help but be able to make things happen, I hope... I hope you can help take care of my family. After all, you are a royal family. I'll feel more at ease if you have a royal family to protect them."
After the explanation, Hao Fenglou did not continue to say anything more. He looked at Zhu Zhiling deeply and said, "Actually... if... if... if you don't have hatred, maybe we..."
Zhu Zhiling's heart moved and couldn't help but say, "What do you want to say?" Her voice trembled a little, trying her best to control her feelings.
Hao Fenglou finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Forget it, why does a person with uncertain future say this? It's just a little trouble."

The capital was shocked.
In fact, when the news came, it began to spread like crazy, and everyone thought they had heard it wrong.
That's right, if it were anyone, I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to accept it. I would never have thought that something would happen to Annan.
Originally, withdrawing troops was a established national policy, and everything was ready. Just a few days later, the army was about to head north. Although there would be a Ming army stationed, it was not worth mentioning.
Everyone thought that Annan’s affairs had ended. Since then, Annan will only appear in some memorials at most. Occasionally, Annan’s envoys will arrive in Beijing, but they will not even be able to stir up ripples.
But... something happened, something big happened.
The garrisoned officers suddenly attacked. Without any warning, they suddenly defeated Annan's army and killed King Annan.
It sounds like normal people, only two words appear in their minds - crazy.
How is this possible? At this critical moment, who dared to do such a vicious thing?
The dignified vassal king, the imperial court had just re-issued the golden book and had just recognized his status, but now he is a place to die without a burial.
When the specific memorial arrived, everyone took a deep breath.
It was true, not only did it really happen, but it was actually the leader of the commander of the Jinyiwei, and it was also Chen Tianping who was killed by Hao Fenglou himself.
A slap in the face, **A slap in the face. Not long ago, the court also promoted that Annan King Chen Tianping was a descendant of Annan's royal family, and was respectful and polite, and was the kind monarch of Annan. The court spent so much manpower and material resources to push this person to the throne, but his mother's army killed him.
Doesn’t this mean that all the praises before were farts?
What I had previously claimed to the various vassal states that the Ming Dynasty was a benevolent and righteous army to help the Chen family fight against rebellion was empty talk. What would the people of various vassal states think? Today you can kill King Annan at will, so will you kill King Joseon and King Ryukyu in the future?
Of course... the ministers were angry.
They cannot accept it.
On the one hand, they wanted to calm down and end the war in Annan as soon as possible. After all, the more delayed it will be, the more difficult it will be to maintain the treasury. On the other hand, they firmly believe that it is absolutely correct to suppress martial arts with civil and military force. A group of Qiu Ba rolled up his sleeves without any signs or decrees and dared to make decisions without authorization. So in the future, will everyone not have to look at the court's eyes? So what do the court do? What do the nobles in the temple do?
What is even more unbearable is that everyone found that there was another person who was too familiar to him in this matter - Hao Fenglou.
This guy was fanning the flames everywhere, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. Wherever people arrived, they would make a fuss. In the past, everyone pinched their noses and recognized him when he was a hero and was trusted by His Majesty. Since he could not do anything to him, at most he would just roll his eyes at this guy. However, no one expected that this guy would cause a huge disaster today and completely touch the bottom line of the court.
