When Zhu Youxiao heard what Chen Xin said, he couldn't help laughing for a moment, and continued to ask: "Did you bring me a gift?"
After hearing this, Chen Xin immediately said yes, and then said: "Your Majesty, you are really good at predicting things. I did bring you a gift."
Zhu Youxiao asked again: "What are they?"
"It's just some Western objects. Among the Western objects are a glass mirror that can be seen far away, and a fire gun that looks like a turtle dove. I don't know if Your Majesty likes it or not."
Chen Xin replied with an embarrassed smile, and then explained: "I originally wanted to send some Western concubines or Kunlun slaves, as well as Western slaves, but my father beat me up and said that I was fooling around, so I only allowed him I bring these Western items to you, so please forgive me, Your Majesty, and don’t think I’m being stingy, I didn’t intend to give you just these things!”
Then, Chen Xin held up his hands and said, "I have brought the Western objects I mentioned just now to the capital. If your Majesty likes them, I will offer them to you right now."
Zhu Youxiao was naturally very interested in these, so he told Wang Tigan, the eunuch of the Zhidian Palace, "Immediately send an order to the imperial eunuch to go to Chen Qing's house to collect these gifts."
Then, Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Xin and continued to smile and said: "It's rare for you to show filial piety, so I decided to reward you!"
With that said, Zhu Youxiao ordered Wang Tiqian again: "Instruct the Supervisor of Ceremonies to give the wooden soft sailing model I made the day before to Chen Qing's family for them to play with."
"I allow you to see this ship alone. You are not allowed to show it to anyone except your father."
After Zhu Youxiao said this, he asked Chen Xin to come.
But after hearing this, Chen Xin quickly agreed, but he was not very happy in his heart. He thought that he had spent so much effort to please the emperor, but in the end, you gave me a wooden ship model in return. Not to mention being promoted, I must also be rewarded with some money.
"Don't be unhappy. I won't give that ship to anyone easily. I see that you know a lot about Western affairs, and your ancestors all guarded the sea frontier for the imperial court, so I'm willing to give it to you. Don't let down my deepest feelings." .”
After Zhu You said this, he looked at Ma Xianglin, Zhang Fengyi, Niu Bingzhong's son Niu Yong, Guo Hu's grandson Guo Mu, and Luo Shangzhi's nephew Luo Zhijie: "In addition to receiving training in the martial arts hall, together with Chen Xin, you will be responsible for following I left the palace and took one shift to take my servants to guard the Longzong Gate."
"I obey the order!"
Ma Xianglin replied.
Then Zhu Youxiao only said to Ma Xianglin: "I already know about the You'anmen incident. You have made meritorious service, but you are not allowed to kneel to the people in the scholar forest again, including you."
Zhu Youxiao looked at Niu Bingzhong and others: "You will all be my guards from now on. If anyone kneels down to a civil servant again, don't blame me for not recognizing him as a guard!"
"yes!"
Everyone replied again.
Zhu Youxiao's words were particularly touching to them. After all, they were almost humiliated by civil servants when they first entered the capital. Now that the emperor had given them the confidence and support, they were naturally very excited, especially Ma Xianglin, who couldn't help but feel hot in his face. Huo, I feel that Your Majesty is really good today!
…
Xinglin Medical Clinic.
Fan Yuqing screamed in pain and couldn't help but said to the doctor who was giving him medicine: "Doctor, can I still live?"
"Can't live!"
At this time, a man in night clothes suddenly stood up from behind the doctor and said something.
Fan Yuqing looked at this scene and was very surprised: "Who are you and what are you going to do?"
The man in night clothes replied: "Of course I am here to take your life. You should know that only if you die can the princes stand safely in the court."
Fan Yuqing understood when he heard this, and said anxiously: "My Fan family will not let you go! You can't do whatever you want!"
The man in night clothes didn't say any more nonsense and stabbed the doctor first.
Whoosh!
The man in night clothes felt a sharp pain in his back. He turned around in shock, only to see a man in black arrow sleeves holding a crossbow pointed at him outside the window.
Immediately afterwards.
The man in night clothes heard another whooshing sound, and before he could escape, he felt a sharp pain under his feet.
Yang Huan, who was wearing a brocade-style round helmet and holding an embroidered spring knife, came in and put the knife on the neck of the night traveler: "The Gonggun princes you talk about are getting more and more outrageous. The factory guards can't compare to them, but we, the factory guards, are the ancestors of this assassination, so don't even think about doing these shady things under our noses."
Travelers at night were quite helpless.
Suddenly, a group of Dongchang officers rushed in and pushed the night traveler to the ground.
Then, Yang Huancai came to Fan Yuqing: "The one who sent people to kill you is Zhou Yanru, and the one who nodded in agreement is Miao Changqi. Now I just want to ask you, do you want to take revenge on them?"
Fan Yuqing nodded immediately.
"Very good, carry him away!"
Yang Huan said and looked at the doctor at Xinglin Medical Center: "Take him to prison too!"
…
Imprisonment.
Miao Changqi was screaming.
The clamps tightened more and more tightly, making him sweat and veins popping out.
It wasn't until he fainted from the pain that Wei Zhongxian had someone stop the torture and had someone pour cold water on him to wake him up.
Miao Changqi couldn't help but shudder when he woke up, and then yelled at Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Zhongxian! You power eunuch, you will die sooner or later!"
Wei Zhongxian smiled: "The emperor has the final say whether our family will die or not. You don't have the final say. Miao Changqi, haven't you always threatened to impeach our family? How about it? I didn't expect you to fall into the trap first." Let's take it into our hands. However, it's your own fault. Why are you so arrogant for nothing? Our family is also the Governor of Dongchang, and we behave with our tail between our legs outside, because our family knows that the emperor has the final say in this world. , No matter how much power our family has, it is all given by the Emperor. No matter how powerful our family is, we are just dogs around the Emperor. You are the same, you are just a minister of the Emperor. You dare to rebel against the order and break into the city. I am really tired of living!"
Miao Changqi snorted and ignored Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian continued: "Continue to torture!"
Miao Changqi became nervous when he saw this: "Why come again? No, no! Wei Zhongxian, you can't do this. You humiliate me, a scholar-official, so you will die!"
When Miao Changqi saw that Wei Zhongxian was not paying attention, he couldn't help but yelled again: "I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Wei Zhongxian then asked people to stop the torture.
Miao Changqi shed tears in frustration and looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Fan Yuqing was indeed harbored by me. Our original intention was to send the dead soldier Pu Chuanluo and others to forcefully break out of the city, but you stopped us. We had to let him go." Fan Yuqing disguised himself as a civil servant and prepared to lead Fan Yuqing out of the city, but unexpectedly he was blocked by Xu Guangqi who suddenly appeared!"
"Who are the people who went to You'anmen with you?"
Wei Zhongxian asked.
"Zhou Yanru, Liu Guojin..."
…
"In addition to Miao Changqi, there are Zhou Yanru and Liu Guojin..."
Fan Yuqing also reported the truth to Yang Huan.
