There is a wing in the backyard of Waidongchang Yamen. This is Chang Yu's living place. It cannot be said to be simple, but it is definitely extremely simple. There is a bed, a table, a chair, a bookcase, the four treasures of the study room, a pot and an incense burner on the desk. Other than that, there is nothing else. .
So simple, yet extremely luxurious, just because there are ice cubes in the room!
Ice is dug from the river in winter and stored in deep cellars, specially designed to cool down the heat in midsummer. Only the wealthy can enjoy it, while ordinary people can only fan themselves under the shade of trees to enjoy the coolness.
With tea wafting on the table, Chang Yu stared at an unknown bird on a branch outside the window in a daze. Once he entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea, and he could no longer be as free as this bird.
As soon as he entered the court, the stench was overwhelming. He tried his best to stay out of the matter and did not want to engage in meaningless fighting. However, he could not stay out of the matter completely. He had to quietly prepare ammunition and support the emperor behind him.
In just a few days after returning to Beijing, he had almost no sleep, working hard to lobby for Emperor Chongzhen. His hard work paid off, and the emperor who used to only issue edicts to punish himself gradually became more and more hardened.
Chunxiang finally woke up, washed his face and saw Chang Yu in a daze, so he came over and said, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering when Wu Sangui would return to Beijing," Chang Yu said casually after recovering his thoughts.
"I have left manpower outside Wu Sangui's house. As soon as he comes back, he will know immediately." Chunxiang was very proud, but Chang Yu couldn't help but laugh: "He is returning to Beijing on orders. If he comes back, he will be the first to enter." Go to the palace, not go home."
Um... Chunxiang scratched his head: "Then I will send someone to keep an eye on the city gate." Chang Yu shook his head: "No need, he should come to see me before and after he enters the palace to meet the saint."
"Why?" Chunxiang was confused again: "He should go to those backers to find out the truth before and after his face."
"What kind of backer's tone is more reliable than mine?" Chang Yu chuckled, Chunxiang raised his eyebrows in understanding and asked: "After the military parade, will the eldest brother go south to supervise the army again?".
Chang Yu nodded slightly: "I am restless by nature and can't stand still. I can go crazy after being trapped in the capital for a long time. Furthermore, the war is raging in the south. If it is not dealt with in time, it will probably get worse. In the past few days, you can sort out the information in the south and hand it over to me. ".
Chunxiang nodded: "As soon as eldest brother leaves, there will be a lot of peace in the capital and the court. It's good to go out, otherwise who can bear being stared at by them every day? You don't have the courage of Wei Zhongxian, so you can mess with anyone."
Chang Yu laughed: "It's not that I don't have that courage, but I don't have that much energy and I'm not that bored. When it comes to killing people, I've killed more people than Wei Zhongxian. When it comes to being ruthless, I don't give in too much. I'm just not interested."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the best." Chunxiang stretched out: "Another group of people entered the city today. It will be dark soon. I have to keep an eye on them. Brother has been busy for many days, so it will be fine. , don’t you go home?”
Chang Yu hummed: "It's time to go back and take a look. You go ahead and do your work. I'll leave later."
As soon as Chunxiang left, Jiang Quan knocked on the door and walked in beside Chang Yu, saying in a low voice: "It really got angry, and we almost started a fight."
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "That means there was no fight. This was beyond the governor's surprise."
"If Li Yan hadn't arrived, Huang Degong would have beaten Gao Jie and the other three!" Jiang Quan smiled coldly: "It's because Li Yan is troublesome."
Chang Yu curled up his lips: "It's not too troublesome. Li Yan is different from our family. He is good at yang and our family is good at yin. However, Wanliu Guizong's original intention was to keep them in check. Maybe he just did it unintentionally at the time. , when he reacts, he will come back."
Jiang Quan nodded, and Chang Yu asked again: "Is there any noise over there from the abbot?"
"The humble position secretly sent someone to keep an eye on his house. He lives in seclusion and has never been seen. Maybe the emperor has beaten him?" Jiang Quan slightly asked with doubts. After he came back from Shanxi the day before yesterday, Chang Yu immediately arranged a task for him. He was keeping an eye on Zhou Kui, the patriarch of the country. Firstly, he didn't want him to cause trouble in the city during the military parade. Secondly, he always suspected that Zhou Kui was secretly doing something detrimental to him.
"If he could see the emperor, he wouldn't want to go through our family." Chang Yu snorted coldly, and Jiang Quanze said: "Maybe the emperor just wants someone to beat him...Factory Supervisor, otherwise I will go back to my humble position. Give it a beating.”
"No nonsense!" Chang Yu scolded. He knew Jiang Quan too well. He was a very sinister and vicious person. He was a bully in the eunuchs at first. Chang Yu was slapped by him when he first crossed over, and was later subdued by him. It is particularly suitable for the servants in Dongchang. The beating he mentioned was not a threat, but a direct slap: "After all, he is a relative of the emperor. How can he act recklessly? If the emperor finds out and blames you, I will not be able to bear it." Walk".
"I made a mistake in my humble position." Jiang Quan quickly admitted his mistake. Chang Yu waved his hand impatiently: "Do you know where Wu Mengming is now?".
"Master Wu has reserved a room in Wutong. He was on duty all night yesterday. He may be sleeping or waking up at this time."
Wutongluo is a famous brothel outside Qianmen.
"Go and deliver a message for me." Jiang Quan came over and Chang Yu whispered a few words.
After Jiang Quan left, Chang Yu came out of the room and saw Lao Hu closing his eyes and concentrating in the corner of the courtyard. This lonely and old eunuch was originally homeless, but at this time he became Chang Yu's personal groom.
"Lao Hu, prepare the car," Chang Yu called softly. Lao Hu stood up and answered, going to the stable to prepare without asking where he was going. Chang Yu stopped him again: "Who is at the Yamen?"
The big tree attracted the wind. After several assassinations, Chang Yu was extremely cautious when traveling. He had a large number of people accompanying him at night, and one or two experts accompanied him during the day. However, he had just returned to the city to give his personal attendants a holiday in the past few days, and he didn't know who was on duty.
"I just saw Miss Luo Yu in the front yard, but the others didn't see her." The old man said nonsense, Chang Yu hummed and asked him to prepare the car, and then went straight to the front yard.
The yamen was a little quiet. Chen Wangting and his generals had gone somewhere unknown. Brothers Chen Suole and Chen Ruxin were already under the command of personal soldiers. In the nearby Jinwuwei yamen, in the huge courtyard, only Wuzhong was recuperating from his injuries, and Song Luoyu was chatting with him. , even Song Luoshu didn't know where he went, and even Li Muxian didn't know where Lang went.
"Luo Yu, come with me." Chang Yu's move undoubtedly beat the mandarin ducks, and Wuzhong's eyes were already unkind, even a little fierce.
"What are you looking at!" Chang Yu curled his lips.
"Nothing, I just see that the factory supervisor is more heroic today than before." Wuzhong laughed, and Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "That's because I have been successful in practicing internal skills recently. If you don't like it, you can choose a day to practice." Wuzhong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wait for half a month, half a month. After a few months, I will let you know what it means to be truly successful in cultivation."
Grass! Chang Yu cursed secretly and walked away, just when Kuang Ren came back: "Is the factory supervisor going out?"
Chang Yu hummed, and Kuang Ren quickly said: "Get ready for your humble position."
