A table full of delicacies was only enjoyed by Prince Heng and the young eunuch. After a few glasses of wedding wine, Zhu Youyi talked too much and couldn't hold his tongue. He tried to persuade the young eunuch to have a drink, but he was ruthlessly rejected: "Our family is too drunk." "In fact, he has not touched a drop of wine.
During the chat, the eldest son Zhu Cian entered the palace with two servants carrying a wooden box and a wooden box. After King Heng waved away the servants, he stood up unsteadily and walked to the side holding the wooden box: "I only wish you all the best, Eunuch Chang." "Xiao Na," he said, opening the wooden box and the golden light shone. Chang Yu suddenly felt that his dog's eyes were blinded, those were ten gold ingots!
He reached out and weighed each one, weighing about a kilogram. He couldn't help but swallowed: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Eunuch Chang traveled thousands of miles to protect Qingzhou City. I am deeply moved and would like to express my gratitude to Eunuch Chang on behalf of the people of Qingzhou City." Prince Heng chuckled.
"It is the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who protect Qingzhou City. We would like to thank the prince on behalf of the soldiers." Chang Yu smiled back, and Zhu Youyi laughed: "The soldiers have their own reward, and the one here is for Eunuch Chang." After saying that and winking at Zhu Cian, the prince quickly opened the wooden box, which contained a dazzling array of gold, silver and jewelry!
"My lord, have you ever heard of our family's name before?" Chang Yu suddenly asked, and Zhu Youdi was startled. He didn't know why the young eunuch asked this: "I have heard it before, and everyone said that a great talent came out of Dongchang." "In the crisis, Taiyuan retreated the thieves outside the pass and attacked the Tatars."
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "This is all praise from the world, but it is really a small achievement. Haven't you heard of the most proud handiwork of our family?"
King Heng frowned and said: "Qingzhou is located in a remote area and I have not yet heard of Eunuch Chang's feats. I am attentive and willing to hear the details."
"Dongchang teamed up with Jinyiwei to create an anti-corruption storm in the capital and severely punish corruption." Chang Yu sighed slightly and closed the wooden box: "How can we slap ourselves in the face if we set an example?"
This time, Prince Heng and his son were shocked. Anyone with a little power in the Ming Dynasty was not the one who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Those eunuchs sent by the emperor were not notorious for their evil deeds. When they first saw this little eunuch, they thought he was special, but he didn’t. Thinking of something so special, the dignified Admiral Dongchang didn't open his mouth and others rushed to give it away, but he didn't want it, and there was some kind of anti-corruption storm. Could it be that Ming Dynasty is really going to become Qingming?
Or is it that this little eunuch doesn't like the thing in front of him and said this deliberately?
"Eunuch Chang, this is just a greeting gift. There will be a big thank you after the war..." Prince Heng tried, and the young eunuch's face darkened: "Your Majesty, please don't insult me!"
"Don't you dare!" Zhu Youdi, who was already timid, saw the little eunuch's dark face, and quickly asked Zhu Cian to ask someone to carry away the gold and silver jewelry. He looked at Chang Yu differently in his heart, but also doubted that there was really someone in this world. So upright and selfless?
Maybe, like Yu Chenglong who was herding sheep at home and Chang Yu sent someone to find him.
But it's obvious that Chang Yu is not the kind of person who doesn't like meat at all. He even said that his heart was bleeding at this time. It's not that he didn't want it, he couldn't have it.
As the old saying goes, a big tree attracts trouble, and his every move is being watched by the officials in the capital. What's more, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are launching an anti-corruption campaign with great vigor. If he stops, it won't be a slap in the face, and it won't make Prince Heng feel that this is the case. A person does one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. If the slightest rumor gets out in the future, he will be scolded by the civil service group.
There are a lot of wars in the Ming Dynasty right now, and the civil servants group didn't give him any eye drops for the time being because they thought he could fight. Once the limelight is over, these people will definitely kill him. In addition to the civil servant groups in the court, there are also big Vs in the opposition. , such as the Donglin Party and Fushe. Needless to say, what the Donglin Party does is that it is a mortal enemy of the eunuchs. As for Fushe, to put it bluntly, the second generation of the Donglin Party is better than the old and has higher combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Chang Yu had to be careful and acted more and more cautiously without leaving any clues. If he was fearless in fighting and charging into battle, he would be ashamed to argue with a bunch of shameless literati.
It’s a pity that Wu Mengming is not here! Chang Yu couldn't help but miss his old partner. Wu Mengming was his scapegoat, just like he was Emperor Chongzhen's scapegoat. But the difference was that he was willing to take the blame for Emperor Chongzhen, and Wu Mengming was happy to do it as long as it was beneficial. Hey, if Wu Mengming was here, someone would take the blame, and the money would fall into his pocket no matter what.
"The prince and the squires in the city have donated money and food to our family, but we have not been able to handle it. We have also asked the chief minister of the house to help take care of it. Our family will only fight the war. The remaining prince and the prefect Qian will discuss the matter. As long as we continue to have food and do not owe wages, our family will not be in trouble." trouble!"
readily! Zhu Youyi felt more and more that this little eunuch was interesting and that it was not that big of a deal.
Chang Yu devoured most of the delicious food on the table. When he was full, he said to Prince Heng: "Let's go and catch up on some sleep. Your Majesty, you are busy."
Sleeping again?
The young eunuch covered his head and fell asleep. Prince Heng and his son were not mentally strong. They were restless even after sleeping. Zhu Youyi came out of the palace to find Qian Lianghan. Zhu Cian remembered what the young eunuch said to him. , To do something useful, I took a few servants to the east gate of the palace, where more and more people gathered.
After receiving the money and food, he went to work carrying wood, stones and other materials to the city. Li Shiyuan sat on the city to patrol. He had used up all his 800 troops, and most of them were still outside the city to warn others. The rest were patrolling in the city to maintain stability, and they also had to hold the city gates. , the name is not enough.
But he soon found help. Qin Fugui took two hundred brothers to the military camp to have a meal and take a nap before going out to find work. He had to perform well.
Li Shiyuan looked at this group of ragged men and felt that they were coming from something wrong. If they were outside the city, they would be killed as horse thieves. But these people happened to be with the subordinates of the young eunuch, and they insisted that they were officers and soldiers affiliated with Dongchang. .
In this case, Li Shiyuan asked him what kind of work he wanted to do. Qin Fugui looked at the people who were sweating under the scorching sun transporting wood and stone and said: "The factory owner told us not to be lazy and to do heavy work." He pointed to the city gate. : "The city gate is very important, how about we brothers guard the gate?"
shameless!
Li Shiyuan cursed secretly, becoming even more convinced that these people were coming from evil ways and were most likely horse thieves subdued by the young eunuch. The security of the city cannot be left to them. However, he didn't sleep much after thinking about them running all the way. There are already too many people transporting materials in the city, so we can't let them carry the materials. Suddenly, he thought of letting Qin Fugui be responsible for the security of the city. At this time, the Tatars were coming. There was chaos in the city. Some of the three religions and nine-level underworld gangs were ready to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. The horse thieves were against The local ruffians can be regarded as fighting fire with fire.
maintain security? Qin Fugui and others felt as if the world was like a dream. Yesterday, everyone was shouting about beating the shady horse thief, and in the blink of an eye, he became the embodiment of justice, trying to eliminate violence and bring justice.
Excited, he quickly agreed, not forgetting to ask about the standards of law enforcement. When encountering troublemakers, should they arrest or beat them? Li Shiyuan raised his eyebrows: "According to your Dongchang's practice, shouldn't killing be used as an emergency measure in an emergency?"
Well, Qin Fugui left in a hurry and divided his men into three groups led by the three brothers to jointly maintain security in the city.
