With nothing to do, Chang Yu walked casually in the imperial garden at the foot of Longevity Mountain, thinking randomly.
The afternoon sun makes people feel warm. There are many palace maids and eunuchs around the imperial garden, laughing and playing in twos and threes. Most of them are passing the time when they are not on duty, and some are taking care of flowers and fallen leaves. The whole scene is peaceful and harmonious, at least That's it on the surface.
But Chang Yu knew that this peaceful scene would descend into hell in two months. How many people died in the disaster when the palace was breached. Not to mention the emperor and empress hanging themselves, what happened to these laughing and playing palace maids now can be described as cruel. In addition to being unwilling to be humiliated, In addition to the Wei family who led more than 200 maids to jump into the river and commit suicide, countless others were killed by the bandits. Even the emperor's concubines could not escape the clutches.
Chang Yu felt like his heart was pricked with needles when he thought of these things. The poor imperial city, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was ravaged by a group of bandits and thieves. It was a national tragedy!
Chang Yu, who was extremely depressed, had no intention of taking a walk and decided to go to the jail to quietly think about the future.
Several eunuchs were drying their quilts in the courtyard of the prison yard. Among them was his roommate Hu Feng. When he saw Chang Yu arriving, he quickly smiled and said hello. This old boy was now considered to have made a lot of money.
Looking at his rickety figure and the anus on his face, Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Old Hu, have you ever thought about leaving the palace?"
"Leave the palace?" Hu Feng was startled, then shook his head: "It's too chaotic outside, why go out when you have no one to rely on? At least you have something to eat in the palace, and you won't be lonely with so many companions."
Eunuchs are not perfect people. They are looked down upon by others outside and rarely interact with others. People who are already afraid of loneliness can only become more lonely. Therefore, most eunuchs who leave the palace die of depression!
"There won't be peace in the palace for a few days. These days, save some money and leave the palace early to find a place to stay." Chang Yu said and paused: "There is no peace in Beijing either. The further south the better." After that, he entered. Room.
Hu Feng was stunned, thoughtful and distracted.
It gets dark early in winter. Chang Yu just squinted his eyes and the sky turned dark soon. After stretching, he decided to get up and have dinner.
As soon as I got up and before I went out, I saw a few people lifting the curtain and walking in. It was Jiang Quan, Chun Xiang and others.
It's just that a few people in Chunxiang have bruises and swollen faces.
"what happened?"
It turned out that he was beaten by another yamen eunuch because of a trivial matter like gambling!
"You're just trying so hard in this den, why don't you know how to fight back? Six or seven people were beaten while standing." After hearing this, Chang Yu was furious and pointed at Jiang Quan's nose and cursed!
"They are the Royal Horse Guards, why don't we dare?" Chunxiang covered his chin and whispered: "Come on, there's no serious injury anyway."
"What's the matter? What's wrong with the Royal Horse Prison? I'm going to beat him up. Let's go and get the place back!" Chang Yu yelled. It wouldn't matter to him if only Jiang Quan was beaten, but seeing Chunxiang's appearance, he naturally Unable to suppress anger.
"The Royal Horse Inspector is the second-ranked one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They have a close relationship with the Guards. We can't afford to offend them." Chunxiang quickly grabbed Chang Yu.
Chang Yu was startled and suddenly remembered something. The Royal Horse Prison was indeed a department with real power. The four guards on the left and right of Teng Xiang, Wu Xiang and Wu Xiang in the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army were commanded by people from the Royal Horse Prison. In its most glorious period, the famous West Factory was The only thing it can compete with is the Department of Cherishing Firewood in another yamen. You think it is the department in charge of firewood. Yes, it is, but it is also called the Neichang, and the chief eunuch Liu Jin is in charge!
However, at this time, both the West Factory and the Inner Factory had already closed down, and the Xixin Department had also set its sights. Sun Shan was in charge of firewood, but the Royal Horse Supervisor was still upright. The reason was still related to the military, so the eunuchs in that department except the Li Supervisor were The others are simply not worth mentioning.
"Hmph, don't forget that I specialize in beating the Guards, but I'm afraid of Bima Wen who hugs his thighs? Let's go! Kill them!" Chang Yu's hot temper came to the fore! The past few days have been too depressing. It's just a eunuch who has to live his life with his head down and his tail between his legs every day. It's really frustrating. In addition, he has been depressed since talking to the prince, and now he is about to explode.
"No!" Chunxiang grabbed him again: "Gathering a crowd to fight is a serious crime, you can't do it!"
"Yes, yes, Eunuch Chang, please bear with me for a while." Jiang Quan and others quickly dissuaded him!
Chang Yu was stunned!
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are more than ten thousand eunuchs and maids in the palace. There are not a few who have personal grudges. They will fight when they can't control it. You kick me and I scratch you. It's not a big deal. It's harmless.
But if there is a group fight, it is another matter. At that time, there is no law to blame everyone. If a group incident is known to a certain master, especially the queen, the master of the harem, it will disrupt the order of the palace. What kind of behavior will it cause? Not only the palm prints Eunuchs were punished, and those who caused trouble were severely beaten or even killed with a cane.
Now Chang Yu wants to drag them into a fight. Chunxiang and Jiang Quanke both know how powerful they are, so naturally they persuade each other to the death.
Chang Yu took a breath and thought about the seriousness of the matter, especially at this juncture, from Emperor Chongzhen to the prince and young master below, who wouldn't be upset, angry, and frighteningly angry! If he heard about this, he probably wouldn't even ask why, and would just order him to be killed with a stick!
"It's not a small talk. I only beat the guards. I want to see which father-in-law is so arrogant?" At this moment, someone suddenly spoke in the yard, and then the curtain was opened, and several guards wearing armor walked in. Maybe It was because he was not used to the sour smell in the room, so he quickly pinched his nose.
Business is coming!
Chang Yu knew it and secretly screamed, "Who is so short-sighted? I want to vent my anger now."
"It seems that some of the military brothers are looking for me." Chang Yu took a step forward, standing a head above him and leading the man with an expressionless face.
"Are you the Eunuch Chang Yuchang who claims to be the one who specializes in beating up the Guards?" The leader of the Guards has a short beard, looks very tough, and is around twenty-seven or eighty-years-old!
Chang Yu nodded: "The room smells bad and is crowded, let's go out and talk."
When it gets dark, most of the eunuchs go on duty or have dinner. There are not many people in the prison yard, and the yard looks very empty.
There were more than ten guards here this time, all of them tall, mighty, and high-spirited.
"Where are you on duty?" Chang Yu stood in the yard with Chunxiang and other six eunuchs and asked.
The guards' eyes were always on him, with different expressions: some were curious, some were questioning, and some were expressionless.
"Jinyiwei" the leader said softly.
Damn, General Han! No wonder they all have such stout physiques.
Chang Yu was startled. He looked at the sky and understood that the Han generals were accompanying the emperor, but once the emperor entered the harem, he would not allow any man except him to enter the harem, that is, from the Qianqing Gate to the Xuanwu Gate. area!
Presumably, these dozen or so people just changed shifts or got off work, and stopped by to practice with me!
"I have admired you for a long time." Chang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Everyone here must be here to practice my skills with me. May I ask who is coming up?" He took off his cotton robe and threw it to Jiang Quan behind him.
"I heard that Eunuch Chang was very skilled in martial arts and competed with his bodyguards in several cities. He claimed that he specializes in treating dissatisfied people." The short-bearded man in charge laughed and said, "I am dissatisfied with Zhang Huwei's power. I came here to ask for advice." He took off his chainmail and handed it to his colleagues, and then He took out a small cloth bag from his arms and threw it in front of Chang Yu.
"Brothers are poor, but they can't swallow their breath, so they scrape together twenty taels."
Chang Yu smiled slightly and looked Zhang Huwei up and down, and he started to think about it. The emperor's personal army was divided into two types. One was called the palace guards, who were responsible for patrolling and guarding. Most of the twenty-six personal guards did this job. They are called palace guards, and there are only Jinyiwei and Bannerwei, the so-called Ouchi masters. They are all selected people who are physically strong or have high martial arts skills.
General Dahan is the department under Jinyiwei that is responsible for the palace guards, with about 1,500 people.
The man in front of him was the strongest person he had met since entering the palace. Although Tang Potian was also strong, he was short. To put it simply, he and Zhang Huwei were not in the same kilogram level, so he suffered from both physical and weight.
Secondly, most of the imperial guards are skilled in martial arts. Zhang Huwei knew his name and took the initiative to find him, which means that this person is definitely difficult to deal with.
But even so, Chang Yu is confident that he can knock him out within ten rounds. Again, everyone has different targeted training.
"We have fifty taels of silver here. If you win, use it to give your brother a drink."
"Please" Zhang Huwei said no more, clasped his fists and rear legs, and got into a posture!
