The night was getting a little late, the lights in Kunning Palace were brightly lit, Chang Yu and Chongzhen were still talking, and Princess Kunxing, who had always been well-behaved, usually took a rest in Shouning Palace, but she was in high spirits at this time. Standing excitedly, he watched his father and mother discussing matters with the young eunuch.
Chongzhen had always doted on Princess Kunxing. When his consort Zhou Xian was disqualified a while ago, he was worried that it would leave a psychological shadow on Zhu Aina and became depressed. Now that he saw her interest in her, he couldn't bear to let her leave even though the night was dark. There was no one else around anyway, so she could stay as long as she was happy.
The matter of building the school had been discussed for a long time. When Chang Yu was about to say goodbye and leave, he suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, those treasures can be dug out."
As early as half a year ago, when Chang Yu had just traveled through time, he heard that the bandits had marched westward. It was less than three months before the Ming Dynasty was overthrown. You can imagine his panic at that time. At that time, he had no power, no money, and no soldiers. He just wanted to escape from Beijing quickly, so the only thing he could do was to have a back-up plan to smuggle the treasures out of the palace and bury them underneath. If the historical trajectory did not change, he could use these treasures to restore the country after the country was destroyed. No matter how bad it was, he could I won't let Li Zicheng's gang of robbers ruin it.
So he persuaded Emperor Chongzhen and Queen Zhou to transport most of the treasures in the palace out of the city and bury them more than ten miles away in a place called Panjiayao, which later became the cultural relics market.
Some people may wonder why Emperor Chongzhen, who was suspicious by nature, believed Chang Yu so easily and hid the treasure in a deserted village outside the city. In fact, everyone who has read the previous article knows that Emperor Chongzhen at that time was at the end of his rope and was the final act of madness.
Hundreds of thousands of thieves were approaching the capital. The Tatars were watching with eager eyes. Natural disasters and famines continued. Generals from all over the country refused to obey the orders. The capital was already in danger. But at this moment, another big bad news suddenly came, that is, the immortal entrusted the prince with a dream.
The ancients had no doubts about the immortal flow, and this dream is so close to reality that it makes people's hair stand on end. I have to believe that in the dream, after Li Zicheng crossed the Yellow River in his eastward expedition, on what day and what city was he defeated, who surrendered and who died in battle, and What reactions the generals in other places made at that time and what happened were all proven, and you won’t be able to believe it.
It was this dream that shattered all the illusions of Emperor Chongzhen. He could only do crazy things. If he continued to let nature take its course, he would not be able to escape the fate of his country. The only chance was to break the rules and do something unexpected.
So on the way to Taiyuan for payment, Chang Yu casually pretended to be the eunuch of Dongchang, but he was immediately labeled as the governor of Dongchang.
Using Chang Yu was a risky move he had to make, but it worked.
At that time, the reason why he trusted Chang Yu was not only because he was helpless to deal with the current situation, but also because the queen and the prince particularly trusted this previously unknown little eunuch.
Why do Queen Zhou and the Crown Prince trust Chang Yu so much? The reason is simple. Emperor Chongzhen thought that the immortal entrusted the dream to the prince, but Queen Zhou and the prince knew in their hearts that the person the immortal entrusted the dream to was Chang Yu!
In addition to the mother and son, there is another person who knows, and that is the person Emperor Chongzhen trusts the most, Gong Yonggu!
Gong Yonggu naturally had great trust in Chang Yu. In addition to what he said about the current situation coming true, his closest lover, Princess Le'an, also died of illness just like in the dream.
Therefore, during those turbulent days, at least five people in the palace, plus Chunxiang, counted as six, knew God's will: if nothing unexpected happened, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed. No one knew how much pressure these six people felt at that time. More than half a year had passed, and Emperor Chongzhen still couldn't help but shudder every time he thought about those days, the days when he was tormented by nightmares every day.
At that time, Emperor Chongzhen himself was prepared to die, so he followed Chang Yu's arrangement to transport the treasures out of the palace and hide them.
一晃大半年过去了，当年牛逼冲天不可一世的李自成如今被揍的鼻青脸肿蜷缩在西安舔伤口，还有那个没事就来掠劫人畜的关外混球，惨败之下正陷入内斗中两三年内都Difficulty recovering.
Who else?
At least there are no opponents in the Gyeonggi area.
So those treasures can be dug out and returned to their hometown.
They can be secretive when burying, but can be fair and upright when digging. Although there are many refugees in the capital at this time, Chang Yu doesn't believe that they still dare to rob.
It was late at night when Chang Yu left the palace. A carriage with more than ten guards had been waiting outside Dong'an Gate for a long time. The night wind was blowing very cool. Chang Yu stretched out and looked up at the moon. It was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moonlight was hazy.
"Hey, Lao Hu, why didn't I see you yesterday?"
Lao Hu was originally an old eunuch in the same prison cell as Chang Yu. He was lonely and helpless and was taken to Dongchang Yamen by Chang Yu to be his special car driver, which was regarded as a support.
"I have been cleaning up the house for you recently. I was too busy. I just heard that the governor is back this evening...I will come to pick you up immediately." Eunuchs don't like to go out and like to be alone, especially for an old eunuch like him at home. He stayed there for a whole day. When Chang Yu was not in Beijing, he went to the house to help clean it up, and later even lived there to help take care of it.
Chang Yu did not get in the car and sat in the palace all night. He wanted to take a walk to stretch his muscles, so he walked and chatted with the old Hu who was holding the horse: "Our family picked up the horse in the south. He will come to Beijing in a few days. From now on, Let him do the work of driving the train, you can rest when you are old."
Lao Hu couldn't help but tremble: "The Governor is going to drive the little old man away..."
"How could that happen?" Chang Yu looked at Old Hu with a bitter look on his face and patted his shoulder: "We have to find someone trustworthy to take care of our house. Is it possible that we should hire a housekeeper from outside so that we can live with our own people?" What?"
Lao Hu couldn't help but burst into tears. The fate of a lonely and helpless old eunuch like him was miserable. Those who had some money left could still buy a piece of land and a house for retirement after leaving the palace, while the poorer ones could only be like this. They lay dead like beggars on the streets.
After Chang Yu came to power, he was determined to find a way out for these old eunuchs and maids. He funded the construction of a nursing home for eunuchs at Panjiayao outside the city. After they left the palace, although they had no one to rely on, they could stay together and have a place to stay. .
However, it is not as comfortable as following Chang Yu. After all, Lao Hu is not yet old enough to be dim-sighted and helping Chang Yu with some housework is more than enough and trustworthy.
"Old Hu, our family remembers that your real name is Hu Feng and Hu Ling has the same surname. You two are one and the other is Ling. Are you brothers?" Chang Yu's joke made the guards behind him overjoyed. Old Hu burst into tears and laughed: "Little old man is better than How can Hu Feng be a brother when he is more than thirty years old?"
"Then they are father and son." Chang Yu's words made everyone burst into tears with laughter: "I am a eunuch, how can I have a baby..."
Chang Yu only slept for less than an hour after returning to Beijing. Even though he was extremely tired, he returned to the Yamen and prepared to wash up before going to bed. However, when he saw the note on the table, he couldn't fall asleep again.
A burglar broke into the Dongchang Yamen. He stole nearly a hundred taels of silver and left a letter with four big characters on it: Robbery from the rich and giving to the poor, and a picture that looked a bit like a mantis.
This... is a bit arrogant.
It’s also a bit of a slap in the face!
