After Xu Youzhen returned to her mansion, she saw Cao Jixiang looking for her all over the world.
He had slept all morning and had almost sobered up. He still had fresh memories of what he said while drunk.
After reacting, Cao Jixiang was shaking all over, and he hurried to find Xu Youzhen.
Although Xu Youzhen promised herself.
But who am I?
I am a eunuch, and I don’t want to trust other people’s races.
Who is Xu Youzhen?
The first dog licker in the Ming Dynasty.
Here I am drinking with him, calling him brother and sister, but after leaving the drinking table, he turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone else.
Moreover, speaking ill of herself would also allow Xu Youzhen to perform well in front of His Majesty.
He can definitely climb up on his own body.
After he woke up, he couldn't find Xu Youzhen. The servants said that Xu Youzhen had gone back.
Go back, where are you going? Did you go to His Majesty?
This made Cao Jixiang very anxious.
This guy must have gone to report to His Majesty as soon as he entered the palace.
Later, will he come back directly with Jin Yiwei to catch him?
Just when Cao Jixiang was at a loss and panicking, Xu Youzhen came back.
"Where have you been? Have you gone to report to His Majesty?" After seeing Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang ran all the way and pulled Xu Youzhen's sleeve.
If there was anything wrong with his expression, I would throw him over my shoulder.
But Xu Youzhen looked confused.
"Telling your Majesty a secret. What kind of secret do you want to tell His Majesty? Eunuch Cao, maybe you drank too much and are delusional."
Xu Youzhen's acting skills are first-rate.
Cao Jixiang kept staring at his face and couldn't see any flaws. Could it be that he was overthinking it.
He turned to ask: "Why did you leave when I was eating wine in your house?"
"When you drank too much, I arranged for my servants to take you back to rest. I also drank a lot and went back to my room to sleep. However, there was something going on at the yamen, so I went to the yamen. What on earth are you talking about? , Eunuch Cao." Xu Youzhen still looked harmless.
After hearing this, Cao Jixiang still didn't believe it, but Xu Youzhen's performance was so flawless that Cao Jixiang, who is also a good person, could not see any flaws.
Could it be that he was drunk and didn't say anything?
"Censor of Xudu, I didn't say anything that I couldn't say when I was drunk."
"You said you didn't say it, Eunuch Cao knew it in his heart, but whether I heard it or not, only I know it." Xu Youzhen said softly.
"This is a serious matter, and the censor of Xudu must keep it secret. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
"Wait a minute, while we were having a drink, I didn't have time to ask, but the eunuch who followed the young prince to the Fujian Navy was a Korean."
"Yes, Pu Ning'er."
"Is he the queen of North Korea's criminals?"
These words made Cao Jixiang a little angry. Why do I miss you while you miss other eunuchs?
"I don't know much about him. I have only been in contact with him in Fujian for more than a month, but I heard that the young prince once mentioned that he should be the guilty minister. What exactly does Xu Du Yushi want to ask?"
Xu Youzhen nodded, already 70% to 80% hopeful, and said immediately: "It's just that my friends from North Korea asked me to hear the news. Eunuch Cao, don't worry about that matter. Please go slowly."
Cao Jixiang squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Youzhen for a while before turning around and leaving the house.
After Cao Jixiang left, Xu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Fortunately, I am very good at cultivating qi, otherwise I would not be able to pretend.
Full and warm, I think about lust, I support my waist and look for Ningmei...
No, that is not important. What is important is to tell Park Ningmei the good news of finding her brother, so that she can work harder, no, make her happy.
Cao Jixiang did not return to Beijing alone. He also brought his two most beloved staff members with him. After entering Beijing, he placed them at the inn.
These two "staff members" cannot be considered young people, but they are both ruthless people.
Cao Jixiang respected these staff very much. They did not respect the sea like ordinary people. They all made a living on the sea when they were young.
The two aides are both fishermen from Shanghai County and are brothers. The second brother is forty-eight years old, and the elder brother is fifty-three years old.
Their ancestors had been fishermen for generations. They took over a small boat left to them by their old father and worked together for thirty years. When the government officials arrested them two years ago, the two brothers were approaching Shanghai County. After seeing the huge ship of the imperial court, they He immediately jumped into the sea and ran away.
The two people found in Shanghai County turned up in Chongming County one day later.
This physical strength is very powerful.
But it was of no use. As soon as he arrived in Chongming County, he was captured on the spot by the government officials... M.biQuge.biZ
When Cao Jixiang heard about the two people, he was shocked and immediately went to Chongming Island to meet them in person.
The eldest brother doesn't like to talk, but the second child is good at talking.
Although the two of them only had one small boat, they had been to Dongwa Kingdom, Ryukyu Kingdom, and North Korea.
Of course, the biggest reason is that people with high skills are bold.
Cao Jixiang felt like he had found a treasure, but he was also curious.
Cao Jixiang asked: "You are all this age, how can your children still let you go fishing every day? Don't you care?"
Answer: "Two old bachelors."
This made Cao Jixiang feel compassionate. He was a bachelor who had worked hard all his life and had no children. But he was a eunuch and had worked hard all his life and had no children.
We are connected by the same destiny, and we are people of the same path.
Among the several staff members at the moment, the two of them are the best.
Cao Jixiang's staff all stayed in Shanghai County, and he only took these two brothers to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.
In the inn.
The second child's name was Wu Renyao. He was a very shrewd man. Although he was already forty-eight years old, his body was still very strong. He looked out the window at the lively street below and felt very unhappy at the moment.
The boss, Wu Renguan, was lying on the bed sleeping. He didn't like the excitement very much.
These two names were obtained by their old father from a scholar in exchange for more than a dozen fish.
After Cao Jixiang came over, both of them were very happy. This man, who was neither a man nor a woman, was very kind to them. He not only gave them new clothes, but also gave them money. He also didn't want their fish and only asked them some questions.
When they met for the first time, after hearing what the second son said, Cao Jixiang wanted them to join his voyage team, and immediately asked: "I want to go to sea on a huge ship, but you can't get on the ship."
The second child was shrewd and immediately asked: "Where to go?"
"Go somewhere no one has gone before."
"Don't worry about eating."
"Tube."
"Do you have any money?"
"have."
"Would you like to send Gazi Po off..."
Cao Jixiang came over and just gave the two of them some money. He said that if he wanted to wander around the capital, he would go wander around. Both of them are seafarers and are used to being free. Don't hold back your internal injuries here. .
Cao Jixiang did not stay at the inn for long. After chatting with the two for a while, he entered the palace.
The maid of honor is still waiting for him...
At night, Cheng Guogong Mansion.
Mr. Xiaoguo has been away from the capital for two years.
It is said that parents are not far away.
Duke Cheng Guo is over sixty this year, but his legitimate son is thousands of miles away. This makes Duke Cheng Guo around him all the time...
Everyone is happy.
After Zhu Yi left, Duke Cheng Guo missed his son very much. However, less than a month later, he finally discovered one thing, that is, he no longer had to worry about the maid he bought being missed. After discovering this, Cheng Guogong never thought about Zhu Yi again, but he was a little lucky...
I am old and have few years left to live. I have been fighting for a lifetime and can no longer enjoy myself. But my son robs me of the resources I enjoy. He is really an unfilial son.
Now that he is out, he no longer has to worry about his beloved maid disappearing for no reason.
After having this idea, Zhu Shou became happier the more he thought about it, humming the Ming Dynasty version of Good Life every day.
The only fly in the ointment was that Duke Cheng felt so distressed when he saw his grandson crying and looking for his father every day.
Of course, this heartache is for the grandson, not for the son.
At this time, Cheng Guogong was drinking with Marquis Taining.
In fact, in the sixth year of Chenghua, the unfolding of the Korean War and the march of 20,000 troops from Beijing to the north gave Cheng Guogong some inspiration. He made suggestions and was adopted by Zhu Jianshen.
More than 100,000 elite soldiers from the Beijing camp were transferred in batches to Datong, Xuanfu and other important towns on the nine sides, where they stayed for half a year.
It means being familiar with the marching route and setting up defenses in the city.
Be prepared for the war to resume in the future.
It is because of these that Zhu Jianshen also issued a decree to commend Duke Cheng Guo, saying that he was worthy of being a noble example and a pillar of great enlightenment.
Of course, this kind of work satisfies His Majesty the Emperor, and the soldiers can change their mood and are also very satisfied.
There is a good explanation for both superiors and subordinates.
The only thing that was unsatisfactory was that the civil servants were becoming more and more dissatisfied with me.
However, Duke Cheng Guo didn't care about the feelings of the civil servants.
As a noble, I am the opposite of them. If I only do things that please them, the result will be that His Majesty will not like me.
Which one is light and which one is more important is clear at a glance.
After being commended here, Cheng Guogong immediately invited Tai Ninghou to come over and have a drink.
The conversation was very pleasant, and when the conversation was almost over, Chen Ying changed the topic: "Dong Cheng, my nephew will definitely be able to come back before the end of the year."
When he heard about his son, Zhu Shou's expression immediately changed: "Ignore him, just drink and drink."
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Chen Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking about it, the name of Xiao Taohong appeared in his mind.
"Next, the voyage will probably take another two or three years. When they come back, His Majesty will get married."
Hearing Marquis Taining talk about His Majesty's wedding, Zhu Shou's face paused and became interested.
"It is indeed time for your majesty to get married. It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to decide on the country's foundation as soon as possible."
However, there was one sentence that Zhu Shou did not say, which was also a blessing for those nobles who had experienced the Tumu Fort Incident.
Because the Supreme Emperor still doesn’t know where he is hiding...
In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen was reading the memorials. He would personally read the memorials of officials every day, and some would even conduct imperial approval.
The power grab for the cabinet has begun.
Since the first year of Chenghua, the cabinet has become the center of the entire empire and has great power.
The reason why the cabinet has great power is because the master of the empire, Zhu Jianshen, is too young to lead the country's affairs. As Zhu Jianshen gets older, the cabinet's power will become smaller and smaller, becoming a foil.
This momentum started in Chenghua in early 8th year.
