After a cup of tea, outside Dong'an Gate, Chang Yu whispered to Lao Hu, who had been waiting for a long time: "Guangqu Gate."
Old Hu responded, raised his whip and drove south.
As soon as the front of the car left, the Dong'an door opened with a creak, and dozens of people hurried out. The first person was Xing Qianhu Chunxiang, the second-in-command of Dongchang, and the person next to him was Gao Wencai, who had just been promoted from Jinyiwei. .
"Eunuch Chun, if the governor doesn't allow us to follow, do we really not want to follow?" Gao Wencai frowned as he looked at the carriage going away.
Chunxiang's face was solemn, and the capital was covered with killing nets. He knew very well how many people wanted Chang Yu to die. Previously, when Chang Yu left the palace, he wanted to send someone to protect him, but Chang Yu refused.
The reason Chang Yu gave him was no longer the rhetoric about who would dare to commit murder in broad daylight, but that he wanted to fish, weave a net, and get rid of all those little things before he left Beijing.
But because the bait has been exposed several times before, some fish have become very clever and not easy to take the bait. They simply completely divert the hands of the people around them and really use themselves as bait.
Chang Yu, who was sitting in the car, turned his head and looked at the busy traffic outside and the various scenes in the market, but he was also thinking about one thing in his mind. Since the establishment of Dongchang, few people who have sat in the position of governor have ended well.
The reason is simple. They only serve one person. They are a knife used by the emperor to fight foreign ministers, so they offend everyone except the emperor.
In addition, some people act too extreme and domineering, causing complaints and complaints. Naturally, their enemies try to kill them. In addition to treating others in their own way, fighting poison with poison, and assassinating them, they also One is to use the public opinion of the ruling and opposition parties to bring down each other in the court.
However, both of these methods are not easy. As a power supervisor, they travel with thousands of followers and are heavily guarded. Most assassinations end in failure. As for arm wrestling in the court, it is even more difficult. The reason is very simple. Their backing is the emperor. For example, Wei Zhongxian, in the end, even the Donglin Party and the civil service clique failed to defeat him.
As long as you are really not that heinous, the emperor will turn a blind eye. Because of this kind of connivance, those powerful officials will become even more lawless and eventually become extremely vicious. Even the emperor will end up turning a blind eye. I won't tolerate you. Liu Jin is the best example.
The civil servant group and the eunuchs are natural enemies. Even if you do nothing, even if you stand to pee, they will think you are in the way and unworthy, and they will attack you. Therefore, the eunuchs have always been fighting against the civil servant group.
But compared with these predecessors, although Chang Yu was notorious in the court, it had no actual impact on him. This was except that when Chongzhen was employing people, he regarded him as his confidant and would not let others touch him at all. Another important reason is that the scoldings in the court were obviously caused by someone behind the scenes, and there was no real evidence!
Take Liu Jin, for example, who was the richest man in the world at that time in terms of corruption and bribery. He specialized in government affairs, could take memorials home for review, and even forged jade seals... Wei Zhongxian had great eyes and hands, and framed Zhongliang. He had done everything Liu Jin had done, and he had an extra nine. With the reputation of being a thousand years old, the civil and military officials of the court lined up to recognize him as his godfather... The government and the public alike hated him to the core, but they dared not say anything... As long as he checked, there was a lot of real information!
On the other hand, Chang Yu was scolded a lot, saying that he harmed loyal people, was arrogant and domineering, and extorted money... But if you look closely, many people will find that there is no evidence at all. In addition to a group of nobles, there are even many courtiers who have no evidence at all. I have never seen his face.
The loudest voices are those nobles, but many people know well that if the emperor doesn't nod, how could Chang Yu take action? Moreover, although they took out some money from those people, they also took out your money. As for the evidence of violation of laws and disciplines, in fact, this is a business matter. As for Chang Yu's personal ethics, no one can really provide evidence.
More importantly, there are constant accusations against Chang Yu in the court, but such voices are rarely heard in the opposition, civilians and the army. What is spread on the streets is more about the great achievements of the young eunuchs of Dongchang in Taiyuan, and how to rectify those For the rich and unkind nobles, the ordinary soldiers were grateful to the eunuch for settling their long-standing pay arrears... Even because of Taiyuan's military exploits, even the criticism in the court was much less. Some big shots, such as Chief Assistant Li Banghua and others, began to use It’s time to re-examine this little eunuch with an objective eye.
Therefore, those who caused trouble in the court were those nobles or some courtiers who became their thugs. However, they gradually discovered that there was no real information, and Chang Yu acted in a low-key manner and had military exploits. They wanted to overthrow him in the court. It was too difficult for him, so he took a different approach.
But Chang Yu was tired of this kind of game.
If he had never been out of Beijing or gone to the battlefield, he might still be interested in playing the bloody Jianghu game with these people, but the pattern of those who had been on the front line was no longer what it used to be. Galloping on the battlefield, tearing open territory and slaying the enemy, this is what he wants, not this kind of personal grudges in the world of fighting and killing.
When he got tired of it, he didn't want to play anymore, so he gave those people a wake-up call and a warning!
"Mr. Factory, we've reached the end of the road," Old Hu said softly as he opened the car curtain.
Chang Yu was startled. He was so full of worries that he unknowingly left Huang Mansion.
The door of Huang's house was closed tightly. Chang Yu stretched out, stepped forward and knocked. After a while, a servant stuck his head out and said, "Who are you looking for... Master, you are here."
Master? Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and found it a bit funny. The servant had been calling him Brother Chang before, but suddenly changed his name. It seemed that this guy Chunxiang was responsible for this.
As soon as he entered the door, Chang Yu couldn't help but stare. Everything in front of him was brand new. The houses were neat and renovated. Flowers and trees were replanted. The original dilapidated scene was gone. A new stable was even built and six horses were raised.
It actually felt like home.
Young Master, the servants who were busy in the yard at this time saw Chang Yu arriving and greeted him one after another. It had been a while since they had seen this young man who frightened and frightened them.
"You seem to be darker, but you are also stronger." Chang Yu looked at Sui Dao with a smile on his face and said, suddenly raised his leg and kicked him hard.
Sui Dao, who was about to talk, suddenly changed his face and ducked sideways. Chang Yu's second kick came in front of him, but he couldn't avoid it anymore.
The foot finally stopped three inches in front of his face. Sui could even feel a strong wind stinging his skin, and he couldn't help but said in horror: "Master, you..."
"You can see that I haven't been lazy these days, which is good." Chang Yu chuckled and retracted his legs. The servants breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they were testing their kung fu.
Everyone gathered around him chattering about getting up at midnight, running and practicing boxing. He did this every day, no matter what the weather, he didn’t dare to be lazy...
He also said that Chunxiang came here a few days ago, he was very fierce, and he was very aggressive when he was considering them. They are all very scared now.
Chang Yu secretly laughed, Chunxiang had been holding his breath all day long, and since he was about to establish his power in front of them, he was going to take a heavy blow.
"Since you are so diligent and have indeed made great progress, I will buy more meat tonight for you to feast on and have a lively life," Chang Yu said with a chuckle.
Upon hearing this, all the servants' eyes immediately gleamed, and some even began to swallow their saliva, or even drooled out.
Seeing such a loss of attitude, Chang Yu wondered, although in the disaster years, ordinary people had problems with food and clothing, but he did not miss the rations of these servants, and asked for meat once a day, how could he still be so greedy?
"Is it possible that you have not known the taste of meat for many days?" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows.
Sui Dao hurriedly waved his hands and said somewhat coquettishly: "There is meat every day, but, ahem, Butler Su is so good at living. He can only eat some minced meat every day, and I don't think he has even half a catty."
So that's it. Chang Yu smiled and said casually: "It's good to have meat to eat. You have to know how many people outside can't even eat rice bran. There are corpses of freezing and starving on the streets every day."
"Yes, yes, you guys are not picky..." When Sui Dao and other family members heard this, they quickly put away their smiles one by one and explained carefully.
Chang Yu looked at the dozen or so people in front of him. When they first came here more than a month ago, most of them were weak, but now they are strong and strong. In addition to the results of exercise, they also benefit from food.
"Okay, let's go. Since I'm so greedy, I'll let you take care of it tonight." Chang Yu smiled and waved his hand. The servants were overjoyed, howled, and went to their own business.
Chang Yu sighed, turned around and walked towards the backyard. As soon as he looked up, he saw a smiling girl leaning in front of the backyard door. Her skin was as white as snow, her smile was hopeful, her face was crimson and she was a little shy. When Chang Yu looked at her, she opened her mouth and shouted Said: "Brother Chang, you are back."
Chang Yu took a long breath, that's what it means to be like a spring breeze, this apple was white and rosy, it was the most delicious at that time.
"Little Apple, are you still there? How is Uncle Su's health?" Chang Yu walked forward quickly.
"I'm fine, and my dad is fine too." Seeing Chang Yu approaching, Little Apple's face turned even redder. He stood on tiptoes and rubbed his hands together in confusion. He bit his lips lightly and shouted into the yard: "Dad, Mom, Brother Chang is back."
