The sky is blue, the fields are vast, the grass is blown by the wind, and the grass is desolate. The sky is getting dark, and the capital is getting closer and closer. Wu Mengming abandons the car and horses in excitement, and is as calm as Chang Yu. At this time, he also feels some indescribable feelings. A feeling of a wanderer returning home.
It turns out that I already have a sense of belonging to this era and regard Beijing as my home.
Think about it when you first traveled back in time, you tried your best to escape from the palace, but now you were a little impatient and returned to the palace immediately. There were a group of poor eunuchs and maids, a sad emperor, and someone who was extremely dependent on him. The prince, and Chunxiang, who is as close as a brother...
Unknowingly, I actually had so many worries.
"Your Majesty, Factory Supervisor, the prince is coming to greet you." A fast horse came to report.
Chang Yu couldn't lie down in the car anymore, so he jumped on his horse and drove away.
In the twilight, I saw some firelight in front of me. I rode forward, but before I could get off my horse, I saw a person running towards me in a hurry: "Is it Chang Yu?"
"His Royal Highness"
Chang Yu jumped off his horse and came forward: "Your Highness, you are well!"
"Anhao, Anhao, you, you, how are you?" Zhu Cixiang's eyes were red and he held Chang Yu's hands, and then he couldn't control it anymore and burst into tears.
"Shang'an is in a humble position, how could His Highness be like this..." Chang Yu was also a temperamental person, and his eyes were wet.
He met Zhu Cixiang in the palace and treated him sincerely. Zhu Cixiang regarded him as someone to rely on in the stormy sea. He could not shake his true feelings and made up his mind to help the Ming Dynasty to avoid being ravaged by foreign races.
The two of them were so excited that they couldn't calm down for a while. They held each other's hands and cried, and the people around them didn't dare to say anything to disturb each other.
"It's peaceful in the palace." Chang Yu finally calmed down his emotions first and smiled slightly: "Is the prince's business still prosperous?"
Hearing this, the prince burst into tears and smiled: "Everything is fine, business is booming and booming!"
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Betting, it's human nature, it's okay, if we don't gamble, where will we get the money!"
Zhu Cixi put his hands on his hands and laughed: "That's it, that's it. You have made great contributions to the royal family, but you are also hated by others."
"As long as this jealousy does not come from the royal family, it will be fine, and other humble positions will be disdainful."
! Chang Yu whispered, there was something in his words, how could Zhu Cixi not understand, and smiled slightly: "The king's heart is unpredictable, and he is with you like a tiger. If these words reach two ears, you will be in danger, but I am the prince. One day, I will fight to the death to protect you!"
"A humble position can lead to the great Ming Dynasty, or one can be shattered to death for the Zhu family. Even if he dies in the end, it can't stop his ambition! I have no regrets! A humble position, but I can aim at the great Ming Dynasty." Chang Yu's eyes and tone were abnormal. firm.
Zhu Cixiang was immediately moved and shook his head a few times while holding Chang Yu: "The Ming Dynasty is lucky to have you, and the Zhu family is lucky to have you. Although you and I are kings and ministers, in fact, I treat you as brothers, and you can't let me down."
The little brat is really easy to fool, Chang Yu felt his heart and soul, but he also deliberately moved people with his emotions because he knew very well that in this kind of environment, countless people with lofty ideals would end up with their blood wasted. We also need some means, such as backers and right-hand men!
Especially in the capital city where murderous intentions are everywhere at this time, he really needs a comrade like Zhu Cixiang by his side, who is a talisman that can block fatal blows at critical moments.
The two of them whispered secretly, but the sky was already dark. Chunxiang couldn't help but take a step forward and reminded: "Prince, Eunuch Chang, it's getting late, so why don't we go back to the palace to talk more."
"Of course, of course, let's go back to the palace first." Zhu Cixiang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and pointed to a luxury carriage next to him: "Get in."
"Prince, please go first." Chang Yu helped Zhu Cixiang get into the car, glanced sideways at Chunxiang and whispered: "How is the injury?"
"It's much better, there's something wrong with the boss..."
"We'll talk about it when we get back to the palace." Chang Yu winked, then got into the car and shared the ride with the prince.
The prince actually came out of the palace to greet him, ten miles away! ! !
It felt incredible that Wu Mengming had a big mouth, but it was more embarrassing because from the beginning to the end, the prince did not even look at him or say a word to him. To put it bluntly, he was ignored at all. .
My dignified commander of the Imperial Guard was ignored, ignored, ignored!
Okay, just ignore it. As the old saying goes, you can make a fortune by keeping silent. That’s pretty good.
Wu Mengming finally convinced himself, and then ordered to follow the prince's motorcade into the city.
The two gates in the north of Beijing, Desheng Gate and Anding Gate, are both gates exclusively used by the military. Going out of the city through Anding Gate and coming back through Desheng Gate is simply a sign of good luck.
Theoretically speaking, although Chang Yu is not a soldier, the government guards and others he leads are all real troops, and they are also the emperor's personal troops. Moreover, since they have made great achievements in Taiyuan this time, they naturally have to go to Deshengmen.
Therefore, the Desheng Gate, which should have been locked after dark, was now decorated with lights and colorful decorations to welcome the triumphant return of the Teng Xiang Guard, the imperial army guard. Many people who were watching the excitement followed them along the street and booed. More people heard that the prince was here, so they just I regret that I didn’t have a mobile phone to take pictures at that time.
In fact, ordinary people did not know that the prince came to greet only a eunuch, the chief eunuch of Dongchang.
The team filed in from Deshengmen and was immediately divided into several groups. The Fujun Guards and Tengxiang Guards immediately returned to their respective yamen barracks. The group of secret protection personnel of the Twelve Taibao also quietly left, and there was also a group of Jinyi Guards escorting several vehicles. The car disappeared into the dark streets, and the remaining royal guards and eunuchs, led by Wu Mengming, followed the prince's motorcade towards the palace.
It was night in early summer, and there were many pedestrians on the streets of the capital. Most of them were watching the excitement along the way. It finally became quieter when we got closer to the palace.
Di'anmen, the north gate of the imperial city is the back gate.
Locking and locking after dark is the rule of the imperial city, and it is a strict rule. It is much stricter than that of the outer city. However, at this time, it was getting dark early, and the Di'an Gate was actually brightly lit and not locked!
No need to ask, this is waiting for Chang Yu again.
Chongzhen once again refreshed his record of favor to Chang Yu.
Entering the imperial city, I saw the eunuchs and palace maids crowded on both sides, looking around. When they saw the prince's carriage passing by, they all saluted, and then looked left and right again.
"Eunuch Chang is very popular in the palace," Zhu Cixiang couldn't help but joke.
"Hey, I'm not as powerful as the prince. This is all I can rely on. This is also my foundation." Chang Yu bowed his hands and saluted, and Zhu Cixi let out a laugh: "Come on, don't delay for too long. Father should be waiting for you." And you".
"Thank you, Prince." Chang Yu immediately got out of the car, causing a group of people to exclaim: "Eunuch Chang, you are back, Mr. Chang, please be safe..."
Chang Yu occupies a high position, but he is approachable and gentle. He treats the eunuchs and maids equally, no matter which yamen they are in, no matter how big or small they are. Therefore, he should be the most popular eunuch in the harem since the Ming Dynasty.
"Hello everyone, thank you all, have a good time tonight..." Chang Yu got off the car and was immediately surrounded by people. He bowed his hands in greetings, and the prince peeped in the car with a smile on his lips.
Outside the Qianqing Gate, there were many guards and tight security. The prince's car was parked beside the gate, and he was chatting with several people, looking towards the Donghua Gate from time to time.
"I heard that Eunuch Chang has returned to Beijing. The emperor ordered the prince to welcome him in person, but I don't know where Eunuch Chang is?" the person in charge asked with a half-smile.
"The British Lord is quite well-informed." Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and did not answer directly.
"Eunuch Chang is the governor of Dongchang and has the imperial order to oversee the army in Taiyuan. He is responsible for defeating the enemy in Taiyuan. Everyone knows that he returned to Beijing to face the emperor. It is not a secret. However, I have just entered the palace and was on duty. I just learned that Eunuch Chang has returned to the palace today, and the prince has come out of the city to greet him. Hehe, Eunuch Chang is really very arrogant." British Duke Zhang Shize said with a smile, and several princes around him also nodded in agreement.
"That's not a pretense, it's the honor he deserves. Eunuch Chang repelled the hundreds of thousands of thieves in Taiyuan, and he has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family. It's natural for me to come out of the city to welcome him. The British Duke's words seem to be It's a bit sour." Zhu Cixiang looked like he was joking, but in fact he was slapping him in the face. He hated to hear other people say something bad about Chang Yu, not to mention he knew exactly what these nobles were planning.
Zhang Shize didn't expect Zhu Cixiang to be so straightforward, and his face suddenly showed embarrassment. Just as he was about to say something else, he saw someone hurriedly coming from Donghua Gate.
