After Yu Huatian left the customs, he suddenly found that the atmosphere in the entire West Factory was very tense, and everyone seemed to be very busy.
What's going on?
Yuhuatian couldn't help but be a little confused.
Immediately, he ordered the two Xichang policemen next to him to summon Tan Luzi and others to see what happened.
After receiving the news that Yu Huatian had left the border, everyone was shocked and immediately put down what they were doing and rushed over.
Not long after, everyone gathered at the Xichang Yamen, including Cao Shaoqin.
This was the first time he saw Yu Huatian. He stared closely at the majestic and domineering white figure on the Grand Master's chair with a fiery look in his eyes.
In addition, there is also a hint of eagerness to fight!
The reason why he entered Xichang was because of Yuhuatian.
Cao Zhengchun is old and has long lost his enterprising spirit. He doesn't like him at all.
If he wants to climb up, he must rely on someone stronger.
But the premise is that this person is really worthy of Cao Shaoqin's following and allegiance!
"Subordinates, please see the Governor!"
Everyone gathered together and saluted Yuhuatian, all looking excited.
Without Yuhuatian, they have no backbone.
Now that Yuhuatian is out of quarantine, they can finally rest assured!
"Get up!"
Yuhuatian waved his hand.
At this time, he also noticed Cao Shaoqin's fiery gaze. He shifted his gaze to Cao Shaoqin's expression, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Who are you?"
Being able to appear here means that it has at least been recognized by Tan Luzi and others.
But Yuhuatian has never seen this person.
Without waiting for Tan Luzi and others to introduce him, Cao Shaoqin strode forward with blazing eyes, cupped his hands and said, "I'm humble, Cao Shaoqin, pay your respects to the governor!"
Cao Shaoqin?
Hearing this name, Yu Huatian was startled, and then a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The world is big and I am the biggest?
But if this guy doesn't go to the East Factory to fight for power with Cao Zhengchun, why would he come to our West Factory?
Yuhuatian nodded slightly and asked, "Do you hold any position in Xichang?"
Tan Luzi stepped forward and said: "Supervisor, Cao Shaoqin's ability to handle cases is not weak, and his martial arts is second only to Yan Shisan and Xia Xueyi. He is on par with the first and second stalls, so it is not easy for his subordinates to arrange. He I haven’t taken up my position in the West Factory yet, so I have been working with my humble position during this period.”
Yu Huatian nodded, then looked at Cao Shaoqin and said: "Then from today on, you will follow me and temporarily assume the position of third gear leader."
Saying that, Yu Huatian looked at Ji Xueyong again: "Xueyong, you have to move to fourth gear."
The rule of the West Factory has always been that those who are capable will be promoted and those who are weak will be demoted.
Ji Xueyong had known that this would happen. Although he felt bitter in his heart, he did not dare to say anything. He bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I accept the order."
A hint of excitement appeared in Cao Shaoqin's eyes, he stepped forward and saluted: "I accept my order from this humble position!"
As he said that, he looked at Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu in front of him, eagerness to fight flashed in his eyes.
His life motto is: Either don’t fight; if you want to fight, fight for the first place!
He was not satisfied with just a third gear, he wanted to be a large gear.
But before that, he had to prove that he was better than Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu!
"snort!"
Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu looked at him and immediately understood what he meant. They both snorted coldly, turned around and ignored him, as if they didn't care.
But there was also a sense of urgency in the two people's hearts.
Especially Ding Xiu.
He only joined the West Factory later. Yuhuatian went against all opinions and directly asked him to replace Tan Luzi and serve as the second gear of the West Factory.
If he is squeezed out by Cao Shaoqin, he will be embarrassed and humiliated!
On the Grand Master's chair, Yu Huatian noticed this scene with a calm expression and did not stop him.
Competition is good.
When there is competition, there will be pressure.
But the premise is that everything must compete within the rules.
If anyone dares to break the rules, Yuhuatian doesn't mind taking action himself and setting rules for him.
As for Cao Shaoqin's unruly temperament, Yuhuatian didn't care.
Entering the West Factory, you have to lie down whether you are a dragon or a tiger.
What if he refuses to accept it?
It doesn't matter, I will take action.
"Tell me, what happened recently?"
After arranging everything, Yuhuatian looked at Tan Luzi and asked.
Upon hearing this, Tan Luzi immediately stepped forward and told Yuhuatian everything that had happened during this period, as well as some of his own guesses.
After hearing this, Yu Huatian frowned slightly: "Are you suspecting that someone is fueling this matter and want to use the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue to cause trouble?"
Tan Luzi said in a deep voice: "Although no evidence has been found yet, there are too many people from Jianghu who have entered Beijing recently, and as long as there are more people, chaos will inevitably occur. Only when the capital is in chaos, will those with ulterior motives have a chance! "
Yuhuatian nodded slightly and asked, "Is there any movement at Nanwang's Mansion and Ningwang's Mansion?"
Tan Luzi replied: "During this period, they are still secretly recruiting some martial arts masters, but there is no other movement."
Yuhuatian was silent for a moment and said calmly: "No need to investigate, just target them to death. In addition, let people pay attention to the situation of the generals to see if there are any mobilizing troops. If so, send people to behead them and control them." Live in military power!"
Although no evidence was found, Yu Huatian was extremely sure that Ye Gucheng would definitely take advantage of the duel with Ximen Chuixue to unite with Nan Wangfu to rebel.
It's just that Prince Ning's Mansion also intervened, which Yuhuatian didn't expect.
But it doesn't matter, no matter who they are, as long as they dare to move, they will eventually die!
The capital is his Yuhuatian territory!
As long as he is here, no one can cause trouble here!
"yes!"
Tan Luzi nodded, and then said: "Master Governor, there is one more thing. In the past few months, the emperor's physical condition has been getting worse day by day. The Queen Mother is worried about the emperor... There will be no one to inherit the throne in the future, so she has chosen many candidates for the emperor." The concubine enters the palace."
"Nonsense!"
Yu Huatian's face darkened: "You are already in poor health, but you still choose a concubine for the emperor? Is this because you think the emperor didn't die quickly enough?"
Everyone was silent and did not answer the question.
Yuhuatian dared to say this, but they did not dare to discuss it.
"But what's going on with the emperor's body? Didn't the fact that he fell into the water not mean that the root cause of the disease was not found, and he can recover as long as he cultivates himself well? Why is it getting worse and worse?"
Yu Huatian frowned and said, "Didn't I ask Cao Zhengchun to investigate this matter? He didn't say anything?"
Tan Luzi shook his head: "Eunuch Cao said that everything is normal around the emperor."
"normal?"
Yu Huatian snorted coldly: "I think he is getting more confused as he gets older. If this is normal, would this be the case?"
Tan Luzi said in a deep voice: "Master Governor, do you want to arrange for our people to investigate?"
Yu Huatian waved his hand: "No need, I already have great power now. If I let people around the emperor, he will be unhappy."
After saying that, Yuhuatian stood up and said, "I'll go and see for myself."
"People in the capital, please keep an eye on them and don't let down your guard. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just do it without any worries."
"As you command!"
Everyone bowed their hands in awe.
…
After entering the palace, Yuhuatian discovered that the situation was much more serious than he thought.
He stayed in seclusion for a year, and many things changed.
This year, Zhu Youxiao was in poor health and paid little attention to government affairs. Government affairs were basically left to the cabinet ministers.
And he accepted the Queen Mother's choice of concubine and enjoyed himself in the harem every day.
According to someone from the West Factory in the palace, Zhu Youxiao fell in love with a beauty again during this period. He took her with him almost wherever he went, playing songs every night, and he was so happy.
The original favorite concubine Wan Guifei, because she had never been pregnant with Longzi, now seemed to have fallen out of favor.
After learning these circumstances, Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't care that Concubine Wan Gui fell out of favor. After all, he no longer needed to rely on Concubine Wan Gui to gain a foothold in the court.
But Zhu Youxiao's attitude is no longer the result of a wise king, but rather a bit of a broken jar.
This situation is very dangerous!
If this continues, it won't take long for him to destroy himself.
At present, all his power and status come from Zhu Youxiao, so he can't die yet.
Yu Huatian does not ask him to become a holy king, but only hopes that he will live well and not hold him back. This is enough.
After inquiring about the situation, Yuhuatian did not hesitate and rushed directly to Ningxiu Palace where Zhu Youxiao was at the moment.
The young eunuch waiting outside Ningxiu Palace is also a newcomer. Because he is smart and knows how to read people's emotions, he has been very popular with Zhu Youxiao recently. He is always by his side, even other eunuchs with higher positions than him. , dare not offend him.
Because that's how it is in the palace, position means nothing. Whoever the emperor favors will have a higher status.
When he heard someone asking for an audience, the little eunuch snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "Don't you see that the emperor is busy? No matter who it is, let him wait outside!"
The eunuch who delivered the message reminded: "Eunuch Liu, the person outside is Eunuch Yu of Xichang."
"Eunuch Yu? What do I care about his father-in-law... huh? Eunuch Yu, is he the owner of Xichang, Yuhuatian?!"
The little eunuch didn't care at first, but suddenly he seemed to realize something and asked quickly.
The messenger eunuch nodded.
When the little eunuch saw this, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly said: "I'll report it right away."
Although he relies on Zhu Youxiao's favor and trust, and his status in the palace is not low at the moment, he is self-aware.
As the general manager of the harem and the owner of the West Factory, Yu Huatian holds real power and is not someone he can afford to offend now!
At this moment, Zhu Youzheng was watching the performance in the palace, with a woman of top quality in his arms. When he heard the news that Yuhuatian asked for an audience, he was also very happy and said quickly:
"Let him in quickly!"
Soon, Yu Huatian, dressed in a silver-white python robe embroidered with gold, and a silver cloak floating behind his back, strode in.
Before entering the palace, he looked specifically at the little eunuch waiting at the door.
He had just heard the words of the young eunuch outside the palace. He had never thought that in just one year, such a talent would appear next to Zhu Youxiao...
When Yu Huatian glanced at him, the little eunuch felt cold all over and did not dare to look at him at all. He lowered his head and said, "Eunuch Yu, the emperor is already waiting for you inside."
Yuhuatian didn't say much, looked at him again, and strode into the hall.
"The rain transforms the fields and I see you, Your Majesty!"
A year later, when he saw Zhu Youxiao again, Yu Huatian's brows furrowed tightly.
Because he saw it with his own eyes, he could feel more clearly that Zhu Youxiao's physical condition at this moment was much more serious than imagined.
His face turned pale, and he couldn't hide the sickness between his eyebrows. He even looked a lot thinner.
He is obviously terminally ill!
"Haha, Aiqing is here? I haven't seen you for a year, and I miss her so much. What can Aiqing gain from this retreat?"
Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, although his body is not as good as before, his personality is much more cheerful than before, which is enough to show how much he has changed in this year.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have lived up to my expectations and have successfully broken through."
Yuhuatian replied, not hiding anything from Zhu Youxiao.
He had already told Zhu Youxiao before he retreated, what was the purpose of his retreat, otherwise he would disappear for a year without any reason, even if he was the Chief Seal Supervisor, he would not be able to explain it.
"OK!"
Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed: "Ai Qing's martial arts breakthrough, my safety will be even more guaranteed!"
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao pointed to a tiger locked in an iron cage in front of him and said with a smile: "Ai Qing came at the right time. I have a new tiger here. This is the king of beasts. The beast just bit him in the fight." What do you think, Aiqing, of the death of a king bear I raised before?"
Hearing this, Yu Huatian looked at the striped tiger and frowned a little more tightly.
Zhu Youxiao had never been so extravagant before, let alone raising tigers and fighting animals.
Obviously these things only started this year!
But I have to say that the tiger is really big, and when it lies down there, it has a domineering aura that belongs to the king of beasts.
At this time, the little eunuch at the door stepped forward with a flattering face and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a beast in Siam called a lion. I will find a Siamese merchant in a while and buy it for Your Majesty."
"Okay, okay! All expenses can be taken directly from my internal treasury." Zhu Youxiao said with a happy face.
As soon as these words came out, Yuhuatian immediately understood why Zhu Youxiaohui had become so extravagant.
It turned out that someone was instigating it!
Yuhuatian took a deep look at the little eunuch and remembered him completely.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Eunuch Yu is very powerful in martial arts and is famous all over the country. I don't know whether it is Eunuch Yu who is stronger or this king of beasts."
At this moment, the concubine who was taken by Zhu Youxiao suddenly said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Yu Huatian glanced at her.
This glance immediately made her whole body feel as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"My dear concubine, Eunuch Yu is my right-hand man, how can he compare with this beast." Zhu Youxiao did not notice Yu Huatian's eyes as deep as purgatory, and said with a smile.
"Yes, I know I was wrong." The concubine said quickly.
At the same time, she was filled with fear. That look from Yu Huatian actually made her feel suffocated. At that moment, she seemed to feel death coming.
Yu Huatian's face was as old as before, but his eyes were cold. He ignored the young eunuch and the concubine. He cupped his hands towards Zhu Youxiao and said, "I heard that the emperor is not in good health recently. These dangerous activities, It would be better for the emperor to proceed less, so as not to be frightened."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand nonchalantly: "This is an old problem for me, it doesn't bother me."
"It's a coincidence that Aiqing is out of seclusion this time. Who...who is going to be in the arena next month?"
Zhu Youxiao looked at the little eunuch next to him and asked.
The young eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City, and Ximen Chuixue, the swordsman in white."
"Ah, yes! These two people are going to duel in the Forbidden City. I heard that these two people are quite famous in the world. Many people in the world have heard about it and come to watch this duel. It is rare for my Ming Dynasty to be so lively. At that time, Aiqing will be able to watch it with me."
Zhu Youxiao said.
Yuhuatian nodded: "I have heard about it."
"Haha! Well, with my beloved by my side, I don't have to worry about safety anymore." Zhu Youxiao was very happy.
Yu Huatian cupped his hands and said: "Then I will not disturb the emperor's pleasure. When it comes to the emperor's illness, it is better to listen to the arrangement of the imperial doctor. I will also try to find some miraculous doctors in the world these days to give the emperor a look."
"I understand, dear, you can figure it out yourself."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
Seeing this, Yu Huatian said nothing more. He glanced at the young eunuch and concubine again, turned around and walked out.
After leaving Ningxiu Palace, Yu Huatian stood at the door. After thinking about it, he did not leave the palace in a hurry, but turned around and walked towards Cining Palace.
…
Cining Palace.
Compared to the past, Cining Palace seemed much deserted at the moment.
Since the Queen Mother began to select concubines for Zhu Youxiao, there were countless beauties entering the palace. Zhu Youxiao could not be lucky enough to see one every day. He gradually began to neglect Concubine Wan Gui and came to Cining Palace less often. .
Especially in the past few months, Zhu Youxiao has been doting on the beauty beside him, taking her with him wherever he goes. He has not been to Cining Palace for a long time.
Over time, the maids of Cining Palace also knew that Concubine Wan Gui was about to fall out of favor, and many people directly left Cining Palace and went to other places to develop.
At this moment, more than half of the palace maids and eunuchs from Cining Palace have left, and it certainly doesn't look as lively as before.
There is no way, in this deep palace, it is such a reality.
As soon as Yuhuatian arrived outside Cining Palace, he heard the voice of Concubine Wan Gui scolding the palace maid:
"If you can't do this little thing well, why do I support you?"
"Trash! They are all trash, get out of here!"
"And you guys, do you think I have lost favor and can't stay in Cining Palace any longer? Then get out of here!"
"Go wherever the palace treats you better, don't be an eyesore in front of me!"
"Bitch! They are all bitches!"
Then, there was a sound of smashing in the palace, and then several palace maids came out with their heads lowered. Some of them had tears on their faces and looked sad.
These are all old people from Cining Palace, and Yu Huatian also knows them all. Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown slightly: "Has she always been like this these days?"
"ah?"
Several palace maids were startled at first, but when they looked up and saw Yuhuatian, they quickly bowed and saluted, their faces full of surprise, and they all said:
"My slave, I pay my respects to Master Yu!"
"Master Yu, you are finally here!"
"Master Yu, the queen has been in a bad mood recently, and a lot of people have left Cining Palace, so the queen often gets angry..."
Yuhuatian nodded slightly: "I understand, you go down first, I will go in and take a look myself."
"Yes!" Several palace maids saluted and left.
Yuhuatian opened the door and walked straight into the palace.
Bang——
As soon as he entered the door, a teacup flew from the front, followed by Concubine Wan Gui's angry scolding:
"I told you to get out, are you deaf?!"
Snapped!
Yu Huatian raised his hand to catch the tea cup and said calmly: "It's not a good habit to get angry often. It gets old quickly."
Hearing this familiar voice, Concubine Wan Gui was startled, then quickly raised her head, her face full of surprise:
"enemy……"
An hour later.
Concubine Wan Gui lay contentedly in Yuhuatian's arms, the resentment and anger on her face had long since disappeared.
"My enemy, you are really cruel. If you don't come here for so long, you will become the manager of the harem and you will look down on this Cining Palace."
Concubine Wan Gui stroked Yu Huatian's cheek with her jade hand and said with a look of fascination.
Yuhuatian said calmly:
"This retreat is due to martial arts issues. Although I have become the harem manager, there are still many people who want me dead. If I don't have enough strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive now."
A trace of distress flashed in Concubine Wan Gui's eyes, and she said:
"I didn't expect that our fates are so similar. In this deep palace, we have no worries about food and clothing, but we can't even control our own destiny."
As she spoke, Concubine Wan Gui showed a trace of struggle on her face. She seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at Yuhuatian and said:
"Friend, please take me away. Let's leave here. The sky is big and the earth is big. We can go anywhere. I know you...are physically deficient, but I won't care. As long as I can be with you every day, I will be satisfied. .”
Hearing this, Yuhuatian was slightly startled, then shook his head and smiled, saying:
"My dear, it's easy to leave now, but are you willing to leave like this?"
"Moreover, I am now in charge of the harem, the entire East and West Second Factory and the Jinyiwei. The fate of tens of thousands of people under my command depends on my own hands. How can I just walk away like this?"
Concubine Wan Gui said resentfully:
"I know you can't bear to part with your current power and status."
"It's not that I can't bear it."
Yu Huatian's face was cold, he raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes were deep, and he said: "I have been working hard for this day for so long, just hoping that one day I can control my own destiny and change this damn era!"
"Now that hope is right in front of me, I can't leave, and I can't leave!"
With that said, Yuhuatian lowered his head and looked at Concubine Wan Gui and said:
"As for the empress, don't worry, as long as I, Yu Huatian, am still in the palace, no one will be able to shake the position of the empress!"
Concubine Wan Gui gritted her teeth and said:
"That bitch Jiang Yuyan, if that dog Liu Jin hadn't helped her, how could the emperor have ignored me and been obsessed with her?"
"Jiang Yuyan, Liu Jin?"
Yuhuatian was startled, then looked at Concubine Wan Gui:
"You mean, the woman beside the emperor is named Jiang Yuyan? That little eunuch is named Liu Jin?!"
Concubine Wan Gui nodded and said bitterly:
"This bitch entered the palace half a year ago. It is said that she is the daughter of Jiang Biehe, a great philanthropist in Anqing. She also promoted Liu Jin to serve the emperor. She won the emperor's favor by flattering him!"
The biggest villain in Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque, Jiang Yuyan, is indeed her!
As for whether Liu Jin is the same Liu Jin, it is unknown.
But looking at the current situation, they should be inseparable!
Yuhuatian's eyes narrowed slightly.
…
Returning to Xichang, Yuhuatian called Tan Luzi and ordered:
"The woman beside the emperor is named Jiang Yuyan, and the young eunuch serving the emperor is named Liu Jin. Keep an eye on these two!"
Liu Jin bewitched Zhu Youxiao and caused his temperament to change drastically. If this continues, Zhu Youxiao will be destroyed by him sooner or later, so this person cannot be kept!
As for Jiang Yuyan, although she has not yet become the domineering villain in the original work, Yu Huatian has already sentenced her to death in his heart just by saying those words to her in the palace today.
It's just that these two people are now popular people around Zhu Youxiao. Even if you want to kill them, you have to consider Zhu Youxiao's thoughts.
So, now is not the time.
"yes!"
Tan Luzi handed over his hand and then asked: "Master Governor, do you want to arrange for someone to enter the palace?"
"Being not."
Yu Huatian shook his head and said: "I entered the palace today and didn't find any clues. Maybe there is another reason for the emperor's illness."
Tan Luzi frowned and said: "But if this continues, I am worried that the emperor's body may not be able to hold on for long..."
Yu Huatian nodded. He also saw today that Zhu Youxiao was extremely ill at the moment. If he continued to indulge like this, he would only have two or three years left at most.
After pondering for a moment, Yuhuatian stood up and said:
"Invite all the miraculous doctors in the world to come to the capital to treat the emperor!"
"My plan has not been completely completed. At this time, the emperor cannot die!"
