This Eunuch Liu was a close confidant of King Zhou. When Zhu Ziyi was the king of Tongxu County, he served him. After Zhu Ziyi inherited the title of King Zhou, he also came to the palace of King Zhou.
Over the years, following Zhu Zizhen, Eunuch Liu was also proficient in the basic skills of looking, hearing, asking, and understanding. After seeing Xu Youzhen's face, he knew that this guy was not sick.
However, Eunuch Liu is also a human spirit. Whether he is sick or not is not important to the Zhou Palace.
After Xu Youzhen finished speaking, Eunuch Liu just regarded Xu Youzhen as giving an explanation to the Zhou Palace and did not dwell on this issue any longer.
Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black. Zhu Ziyi himself is a good poet, fond of prescriptions, respects Confucian etiquette, respects Buddhism, values filial piety, is rigorous in dealing with things, and is gentle to the world. He has a strong affinity for the prince. Liu who has always been with him My father-in-law was also affected.
Although he cannot be regarded as a good person, among the eunuchs, his character is also excellent...
Eunuch Liu looked at Xu Youzhen, with a peaceful smile on his face, and asked softly: "When will the censor of Xudu go to the palace to have a detailed discussion with my prince?"
"Is Your Highness very anxious?" Xu Youzhen asked calmly.
After hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Eunuch Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that he was trying to find the bottom.
"Don't be anxious, His Highness just doesn't want to make Xu Du Yushi anxious."
"If Your Highness is not in a hurry, then I'd better go there in two days." Xu Youzhen said softly.
After listening to Xu Youzhen's words, Eunuch Liu said with a smile on his face: "Censor of Xudu, if you have anything to say, just ask. As long as it is beneficial to my prince, I will tell you everything."
After Xu Youzhen heard what Eunuch Liu said, she was stunned for a moment, but she came to her senses in an instant.
"Okay, since Eunuch Liu is so cheerful, I won't hide it anymore. Can Eunuch Liu, the Prince of Ruyang County, the Prince of Yongning County, and His Royal Highness the King of Zhou keep in close contact in private?"
"The Censor of Xudu, if I say that I have no personal contact, can the Censor of Xudu believe me?"
Xu Youzhen nodded: "Why don't you believe it? His Royal Highness King Zhou has a great reputation."
"The two princes, Prince Yongning and Prince Ruyang, are not from the same family as my prince. Not only do they not have any personal contact, their relationship is also very cold. Although they are brothers of the same clan, they are strangers to each other."
"If that's the case, the imperial court wants to capture these two princes. What does His Highness, King Zhou, think?"
"I am a slave and cannot answer the question of Xu Du Yushi on behalf of my Highness. If Xu Du Yushi wants to know, he can ask my Highness face to face." Eunuch Liu said it to the letter.
Xu Youzhen chuckled twice: "Well, when I visit you in two days, I will definitely ask you in person, Eunuch Liu, what does His Highness the King of Zhou think of His Highness the King of Qin's congratulations?"
"Of course I am very pleased. His Highness himself is a frugal person. He wears no more than two sets of clothing for all seasons. His meals are always clear soup and water, and his family tradition is strict. He also taught many princes in my family how to be diligent and thrifty in running a household. His Highness King Qin What he said in this congratulatory note coincides with the original intention of my Highness." Eunuch Liu said a lot, all of which were praising Zhu Ziyi in a roundabout way. However, because most of what he said was true, this Eunuch Liu's tone seemed quite proud.
"In this case, I can feel free to go see His Highness the King of Zhou. Eunuch Liu, if His Highness the King of Zhou is free that day, you can send someone to the official post, and I will go there immediately."
"Okay, I will definitely bring it to your Highness, the Censor of Xudu. You have just recovered. Please rest first. I won't disturb you too much." As he spoke, Eunuch Liu stood up.
And Xu Youzhen also stood up: "Then please go slowly, Eunuch Liu, I won't see you off."
"Censor of Xudu, please stay..."
After finishing speaking, Eunuch Liu turned around and walked out.
After Eunuch Liu left, Zhao Cong, who had been standing at the door, walked in.
Zhao Cong had been listening to the conversation between the two people just now.
"Censor of Xudu, these days, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is clearly in close contact with the Prince of Yongning County and the Prince of Ruyang County. Why does Eunuch Liu say that he has no contact at all? Isn't this making fun of you?"
Ever since the imperial court circulated King Qin's congratulatory form to the clans all over the world, the Jin Yiwei began to secretly investigate whether there were any private connections between the kings. The lineage of the King of Zhou was the top priority. Menda stayed in Kaifeng Mansion for one or two days. Yue is just busy with this matter.
During this period of time, the contact between the Yongning County Prince, the Ruyang County Prince and the King of Zhou had never been broken. They only knew that there was a correspondence, but they knew very little about what the letters said.
After Menda discovered the news, he shared the information with Xu Youzhen.
Xu Youzhen glanced at Zhao Cong and said softly: "The King of Zhou is not the same person as these two princes. The private contact was only because of the congratulatory matter. From this point of view, he did not lie."
After Zhao Cong listened, he nodded blankly...
I seem to understand, but I don’t seem to understand.
"Go and find Menda. It's time for him to come out and do some work."
"Yes, Xu Du Yushi." Zhao Cong responded, turned around and walked out.
Now Menda is living in an inn, waiting for Xu Youzhen to ask him for help...

When can we meet.
Next spring, when the flowers bloom, that's when we meet... M.biQuge.biZ
This is a true portrayal of North Korea.
A heavy snowfall at the end of the 13th year of Chenghua's reign shrouded most of the north in white snow and cut off communication between various places.
In February of the 14th year of Chenghua, the spring breeze blew, the snow gradually melted, and the roads between various places were restored.
Shi Biao was the most nervous.
After the roads returned to normal, Shi Biao immediately rushed from Pyongyang to Guzhou City, and then rushed from Guzhou City to Seoul overnight.
As Wang Yue had expected, although the sudden snowstorm caused casualties, there was no rebellion among the people.
Everything proceeds in an orderly manner.
The officials appointed from various places and the standing pickets were indeed dedicated to their duties and played a decisive role in this incident.
These made Shi Biao secretly relieved, and then after the situation stabilized, Shi Biao went to the capital to report the affairs in North Korea to Zhu Jianshen. Of course, it was also because of this that Shi Biao took a look at Wang Yuegao.
Sun Xiang, the governor of Liaodong, also came to Liaoping City in March of the 14th year of Chenghua to check the specific situation of Liaoping City.
Under the will of His Majesty the Emperor, the current imperial court is focusing on the northern lands outside Guan Guan, and the people of Shandong Province have gained a lot of wealth from the vast land of Liaodong. Of course, it has also brought fireworks to Liaoping Mansion. .
This also solved Sun Xiang's serious problem.
It had been eight years since Sun Xiang took over the governorship of Liaodong from Li Chun in the sixth year of Chenghua. In that year, the imperial court began a several-year war against the Jurchens. It was also Shi Heng and Shi Biao's uncle and nephew. The starting point of personal meritorious service, of course, the witness of all this is Sun Xiang.
Sun Xiang did not get promoted and return to Beijing, but completely took root in Liaodong.
He established a stable rear for Shi Heng and Shi Biao, and stayed in the bitter cold land of Liaodong for eight years.
Of course, Sun Xiang has not only focused on the Liaoping Mansion in these years, but also has the most important things for him to do.
That is the specific implementer of Liao's east-west policy.
The main work of the Liaodong Governor's Yamen in recent years has been to advance westward, expand eastward, and go northward. The court's investment in silver and grain is very large every year.
The westward march is not really about entering the vast Mongolian steppe and fighting to the death against the Tatars, but it is about constantly building bunkers and other defensive sites to establish forward positions for the main cities in Liaodong.
The westward advance was conceived by Zhu Shou, Duke of Cheng, with Chen Ying and others when he was still alive. Of course, it really accelerated and started to work hard in the 11th year of Chenghua, when Wang Wen stepped down and Han Yong officially became the Minister of War. that year.
Han Yong is capable of doing things and is very strong.
Before he became Minister of War, the construction speed of the battle fort had been very slow.
But after he became Minister of War, he personally went to Liaodong, inspected several bunkers, and talked in detail with local generals in Liaodong. He felt that it was very useful, so he wrote a memorial of more than 3,000 words, describing it in detail. , and then the imperial court changed the annual silver coin from one hundred thousand taels to four hundred thousand taels.
In three years, the Ming army built more than 200 bunkers on the grasslands to the west. A full complement of 60 people could block the attack of thousands of people.
This is also a way of strategic advancement...
Nowadays, when building a battle fort, the court has to pay money to the craftsmen. In a certain respect, it also solves the livelihood problem of a large part of the people and can also attract many people from the mainland to migrate...
