Chunxiang smiled and said that the people welcomed him spontaneously, which surprised Chang Yu.
The name of Dongchang has always been a fearful thing for people to hear. No matter whether they were high-ranking officials, royal family members or ordinary people, their expressions changed when they heard it and they stayed away from it.
After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he overthrew Wei Zhongxian, and Dongchang immediately collapsed and gradually faded out of people's sight. Suddenly, the people in the capital heard that the imperial court had restarted production. When they were frightened, they heard that the emperor had appointed a little eunuch who was not as good as a weak crown as the governor of Dongchang. There was an uproar and various rumors circulated, but very little was known about the young eunuch, and even most of the ministers in the court had never seen him.
Until later, there were rumors in the capital that the governor of the East Factory had started to frame Zhongliang again, and the people were talking a lot, but no one knew which Zhongliang was framed. Anyway, let's pass on what others say.
Of course, there are also bright-minded people who all say that the young eunuch framed Zhongliang, but no one can tell who he framed. Instead, it is the nobles in the capital who are clamoring for persecution. Are these nobles Zhongliang? Damn it!
And why did I hear that the little eunuch was supervising the battle in Taiyuan? How could he have the time to frame you?
It can be said that at this time, although Chang Yu's reputation was not good, he was almost always following what others said. The main reason was that Dongchang's reputation was not good!
It wasn't until after the First World War in Taiyuan that Chang Yu teamed up with Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji to defeat hundreds of thousands of thieves. His reputation rose and the people suddenly realized that this little eunuch didn't seem that bad. He didn't force good girls into prostitution or bully the people. He actually won the battle. , it’s just rumored that he went on a killing spree in Taiyuan, and people called him massacre. It must not be a good thing to be so bloodthirsty.
At this time, Chang Yu has mixed reputations and reputations!
There was an emergency at the border, and the Qing army invaded. Everyone in the capital was in panic. Wu Sangui defended the enemy, first subdued the Qing cavalry, and then routed the enemy in one fell swoop. He won a great victory and was unable to kill the enemy. For a time, everyone in the capital was celebrating, and everyone was convinced that Wu Sangui was great. hero! Use your own efforts to protect the borders of the Ming Dynasty and protect the people from military disasters.
But at this time, an undercurrent emerged: before the Qing army invaded, the young eunuch had been ordered to go out to supervise the battle. He first lured the enemy Dorgon to turn his horse, and then set up a trap to lure him into the trap, ambush, flank, sneak attack, and counterattack. From the beginning to the end, it was the young eunuch who planned and strategized, and he led the eunuch army to kill the enemy the most courageously...
The people in the capital were in an uproar. It turned out that there was such a news. Although most of them were skeptical, they asked around. Those with knowledge finally heard some real information. The big bosses in the officialdom were secretive but did not deny it. Those in the underground of the capital were The boss's attitude is worth pondering. If you dare to ask, he can chat with you for three days and three nights, and even provide you with refreshments...
Chang Yu didn't know whether it was Chunxiang or the Twelve Taibao who was driving this undercurrent, or whether it was the prince's people who did it intentionally, or whether Chongzhen instigated Wu Mengming to let Jin Yiwei do it.
After all, Chongzhen knew what Chang Yu had done behind the scenes, but eunuchs couldn't be officials, so he couldn't give much, and he was afraid of chilling Chang Yu's heart, so he was just making a show of his attitude?
I heard that a group of people came from outside the city, and more and more people were at the city gate. It was after noon, the warm sun was in the sky, and the people were idle. When they heard the wind, more and more people came, and there were thousands of them. Public.
After asking each other, the eunuch of Dongchang, who was supervising the army outside the pass, came. Some people curled their lips, while others vomited: "I heard that the little eunuch of Dongchang is very simple..."
Both the Gongzi camp and the Black Panther camp were heavily armored cavalry, with tall horses and armor, and the soldiers wore heavy helmets with bows and swords on their backs. They were full of murderous intent, attracting cheers from the onlookers, but they also asked each other to confirm who was the eunuch in charge of the Dongchang.
Some people said that the eunuch should take a sedan or a car, but there was no sedan in the procession. He should be the one in the middle. It looks like there are many people accompanying him... Hey, that one seems to be the commander of the Jin Yiwei. Hey, then Why is there still a second master Guan...
The eyes of the common people were sharp, and they indeed discovered Chang Yu's location, but no one could see clearly what he looked like, because he was wearing a helmet and visor!
There are only three of the twelve eunuchs left in the city now, and Song Siyang is one of them. He is in charge of the main address of Octopus. When he heard that Chang Yu had returned to the capital, he and the other two greeted him outside the city gate.
It was just an inconvenient occasion. Chang Yu nodded slightly to the two of them and drove into the city. However, he was already very satisfied with what they said. People with sharp eyes had already gathered around them and started asking if the people in the formation were the big bosses of Dongchang. Eunuch, why are you nodding to the two of them...
After entering the city, the troops were divided into three groups. The Black Panther Battalion was from the Jinwu Guard, Jia Waixiong led his troops to the Jinwu Guard Yamen, Tu Yuan was from the Tengxiang Guard and led his troops to the Tengxiang Guard Yamen, and the Black Wolf Battalion from Wuzhong went to the East. The three yamen of the Fujunwei near the factory yamen are all good friends with Chang Yu, so there is no pressure to go there for a few days.
Gong Ziying followed Chang Yu into the palace.
The Bei'an Gate of the imperial city opened wide, and the eunuchs and maids lined the streets. Zhu Cixiang personally came to greet him. This shocked the people watching the excitement outside the imperial city, but they also secretly realized that the rumors were true. The leader of the eunuchs of Dongchang might be at the border. The foreigner has really made great achievements, otherwise he can be of great help to the Ming prince?
Of course, there are some people who are sad. The leader of Dongchang has all the power, covering the sky with one hand, and it is not uncommon for the prince to flatter him, but no matter what, this little eunuch is really a character.
Chang Yu dismounted, took off his helmet, and saluted Zhu Cihong: "The prince welcomes you, but I don't dare to do so."
Zhu Cixi couldn't hide his excitement and burst into tears: "You killed the dog Tatar with your own hands!"
Everyone couldn't help but smile to themselves, the prince's young mind and concerns were really different.
"I killed so many, my machete was curled up." Chang Yu chuckled.
Zhu Cihong stepped forward and took his arm: "You can bring the Tatar dog head with you so that I can have a look."
"That thing is very responsive." Chang Yu shook his head in disgust. Seeing Zhu Cixiang's firm eyes, he added, "I'll deliver it later, I'm afraid you'll have nightmares after seeing it."
"How could it be possible? I am such a coward. I wish I could kill the Tatars with my own hands..." Zhu Cixiang said as he welcomed Chang Yu into the imperial city.
Horseback riding is not allowed in the imperial city. The palace soldiers dismounted their horses and held the reins. The eunuchs and ladies on both sides were overwhelmed by his momentum and cheered. It was rare for these eunuchs to have smiles on their faces.
Gongziying is an unusual eunuch. It belongs to the military establishment. However, there is no yamen outside the imperial city. It is still necessary to enter the imperial city to be stationed. However, it is not appropriate to live in the eunuch dormitory in the prison yard. Fortunately, they still have a temporary camp, Caolanchang. !
Chen Wangting's uncle and nephew and Jiangfa never dreamed that one day they would be able to enter the imperial city in a dignified manner, the Forbidden City of the Ming Emperor. Everything suddenly seemed like a dream, but it was so real.
How could ordinary people enter the imperial city so casually? Even the minister Wu Zhao was not allowed to step in at will. But they and Zhen Changyu went in so arrogantly. Of course they entered as Jin Yiwei and were taken directly by Chunxiang. Neidongchang Yamen next to Donghua Gate.
As for Chang Yu, he wanted to meet the saint as soon as possible.
Chongzhen had been waiting for a long time. He was busy with state affairs and was impatient when he heard that Chang Yu had entered the city. From time to time, he asked where the eunuch Chang Yu was.
Until I heard that after Chang Yu entered the imperial city, he went to the Xuanwu Gate moat to be the prime minister. This was already a great honor. It would be ordinary to welcome General Desheng to the outside of the city with the dignity of an emperor, but it was extremely unusual to welcome a slave. rare.
"My lord, I'm glad you have honored your Majesty's presence!" Chang Yu saw Emperor Chongzhen in the distance and trotted closer to see him.
Chongzhen was overjoyed and held his hands and patted his shoulders: "It's my family's good fortune and my Ming Dynasty's good fortune. You really didn't disappoint me!"
The monarch and his ministers entered the Xuanwu Gate and entered the palace one after another. Chongzhen asked in a low voice about the war in Ningyuan. Chang Yu answered every question and spoke in great detail. Chongzhen heard this and stroked his palms again and again. He was in high spirits and shouted loudly from time to time. Prince Zhu Cixiang raised eyebrows. Guang clenched his fists. If his father hadn't been by his side, this kid would probably be happy enough to become a Sky Monkey.
