After Ruan Dayou finished serving the little emperor with gentle words, he slowly left the palace and met Li Binghao, who had been waiting for a long time in the side hall.
Ruan Dayou is an old man, his back has long been bent from fatigue, and his hair is gray on the temples. However, he has not experienced wind and rain, and his skin is in pretty good condition. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
There is an unknown secret about Ruan Dayou, the powerful eunuch.
He is not from the An Nanjing tribe, but from the Yao people. His original name is not Ruan Dayou, but Ji Haiyou. Nearly thirty years ago, Ji Haiyou, who was in his twenties, came to Annan from Guangxi. He originally came to Annam to make a fortune. But as soon as he arrived in Annan, Li Li's resistance army gained some momentum. Han people from all over the country, All the Yao people fled into the big city.
At that time, he entered Jiaozhou City, but not long after he arrived in Jiaozhou City, the Ming army withdrew from Jiaozhou City without notifying anyone.
He delayed his escape, and Ji Haiyou, who had no support, could only change his name. During the melee in Jiaozhou, he was captured by Li Li's army and taken into the palace and became a eunuch.
At first, his Vietnamese speaking was not good, and he had always been cautious. Decades ago, he met Li Yimin, and he started to live like a man. Of course, he also helped Li Yimin win the throne.
Li Binghao, on the other hand, was slightly younger and was Li Yimin's old teammate before he started his army. Li Yimin arranged for him to work as a teacher for the crown prince.
It can be said that the most loyal people to Li Yimin and his son are the people from the East Palace...
In the side hall, Li Binghao was circling anxiously. When he saw Ruan Dayou slowly walking into the palace, he hurriedly greeted him and helped Ruan Dayou to the chair.
After Ruan Dayou sat down, Li Binghao couldn't wait to speak: "Superintendent Ruan, there is news from the north."
Ruan Dayou glanced at Li Binghao and said softly: "What news."
"Shi Heng seems to have been removed from power by the top brass of the Ming army and is now being imprisoned."
After hearing this, Ruan Dayou's eyes, which had always been cloudy, immediately shone a little...
He murmured: "Is this news true or false..."
Li Binghao hurriedly said: "It must be true, otherwise the people in the palace would not risk their lives to pass it on."
"I heard that Shi Heng was arrogant and stayed in the imperial city at night, with the ambition of tearing apart the earth and conquering the country. The Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty rushed to Tokyo's Shenglong City overnight and detained Shi Heng. There is also a theory that it was an envoy we sent out. Chen was killed, which made the top generals of the Ming army a little dissatisfied with Shi Heng. Then something happened, causing the two sides to fall out. At that time, the entire city of Tokyo was under martial law, and Ming troops were everywhere, and they almost started fighting. According to the news The credibility is very high.”
After hearing this, Ruan Dayou said: "Well, if Shi Heng is really captured, then we can restart peace negotiations."
"Yes, then we won't have to run away, and His Majesty will be safe."
When he said this, Li Binghao was still a little excited.
If it weren't for life, who would be willing to become a bandit and wander in the sea.
Being able to save his life without leaving his homeland was something Li Binghao could not imagine during this period.
"You need to find someone who is proficient in Chinese and eloquent to see me. We will arrange to go to Shenglong City in Tokyo soon. This time we must meet the Secretary of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. Since Shi Heng has been captured, what will happen within them? It won’t be stable either. We can also fight for something more for His Majesty during the peace talks..."
"Yes, Supervisor Ruan..."
After Li Binghao achieved his goal, he excitedly left the temporary palace and arranged the matter.
Shi Heng was captured.
In a certain aspect, this also avenged the late emperor's humiliation of his corpse...
This made Ruan Dayou very happy.
What's even more exciting is that Shi Heng has been detained, and their little emperor has a high chance of obtaining the title of Ming Dynasty and spending this life safely...
This was also the last thing Ruan Dayou did for Li Yimin.
There are things that can be done and things that cannot be done.
Weighing the pros and cons is Ruan Dayou's skill.
He could clearly see that under the Qinghua of Xijing, local officials were cynical. Although they obeyed the nominal rule of the little emperor, if they were allowed to use money and people to do it, they would immediately become a group of traitors.
And it was impossible for the Ming army to give them time to clean up the local government and vassal towns. Under such circumstances, the Northern Expedition to regain the old land and return it to Thang Long City was just an empty talk...
The biggest benefit is to ensure the safety of the emperor and allow him to live a stable life. It is best to leave this place.

When Shi Biao landed in Tianjin, he rushed to the capital without any thought of rest...
And late at night, Shi Biao arrived at the gate of Beijing.
If it were in the past, Shi Biao would only need to take out his badge and the imperial edict to order the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate and let them in.
But now Shi Biao, because he was busy, did not call the door to enter. He followed dozens of soldiers and stayed under the Desheng Gate all night...
When the city gate was opened on the second day, he led his soldiers into the city.
Shi Biao, as the recently resigned commander-in-chief of North Korea and Liaodong, was equivalent to the de facto commander of a large military region. But when he returned to the capital, he was so humble. He had been walking on thin ice for so many years. It was not easy.
Thinking about the arrogant old uncle, Shi Biao became a little angry.
You are arrogant and happy, but if you are not happy, you have to bear the price together.
Shi Biao first returned home and met your wife and son.
Qi was very happy to see Shi Biao early in the morning.
Shi Biao's son was four years old. When Shi Biao held Shi Hu in his arms, he was still very repulsive.
Father and son have not seen each other for more than three years, so of course Shi Hu will not know his father.
With the help of the Qi family, Shi Hu reluctantly called out: "Dad."
This voice made Shi Biao very excited, and he scolded his uncle again in his heart.
Shi Biao hugged Shi Hu, teased her for a while, and turned to look at his gentle and beautiful wife.
"Look at our son. He has a tiger-like head and a big brain. Alas, he is a bit ugly. It would be nice if he looked like you."
Hearing this, Mrs. Qi chuckled: "You look like your husband, how can you say he is ugly? What's more, looks are of no use to a man. As long as he grows up, he can stand upright, be sensible and brave, and be able to make meritorious deeds. Just like your husband, you are a great hero and a good person."
Qi's words somewhat admitted the fact that her son was getting uglier as he grew older.
Shi Biao smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
Shi Hu didn't like it when he saw his mother calling him ugly in different ways.
"Mom, you said you can't call me ugly in the future. Why are you calling me ugly in front of dad?"
"Why did you say you are ugly?"
"Looks like him, isn't it ugly?"
After hearing Shi Hu's words, Shi Biao and Qi couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Qi is a person who is good at observation. Although Shi Biao has never expressed anything since he returned to the house, she still sensitively felt that there was something wrong in Shi Biao's heart.
While changing Shi Biao's court uniform, the two of them kept chatting and laughing until Qi asked: "Husband, you returned to the capital so quickly without even a letter from home. Did something happen? "
The imperial court did not make any public announcement about Shi Heng's stay in Annan, and officials at all levels did not know about it. Therefore, the Qi family had no way to obtain any useful information from her natal family.
After listening to his wife's words, Shi Biao's smile stopped abruptly.
He nodded.
"Something did happen."
"Is it uncle?"
Shi Biao still nodded.
"Husband, my uncle raised you like a father. Even if we fight for the title, wealth and honor, you have to protect him in front of His Majesty..." Mrs. Qi said softly.
Shi Biao smiled bitterly: "Madam, you don't know. Whether you can keep it or not is not up to your husband. Your Majesty is a serious person. If I use the title and merit to blackmail Your Majesty, it will only be counterproductive. What's more, I don't have the final say." We can’t protect him. Even if we protect him once, we can’t protect him a second time.”
"The road is your own. If he narrows the road, there is nothing I can do about it."
"What's more, I can't let my wife and children live a life of poverty and turmoil. You are my responsibility. If uncle can't escape, let's put more incense on him and burn more paper figurines in the future..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Qi stopped talking and just straightened Shi Biao's clothes.
She also knows that she is a woman, and she can express her own opinions on men's matters, but she cannot make decisions for them...
At this time, after seeing his wife and children, Shi Biao's mentality changed. He could not let his children or his wife get into trouble. Even if he personally sent his uncle on his way, even if he became an unworthy descendant, he would not hesitate...
After changing into court clothes, Shi Biao simply drank some porridge at home, then said goodbye to the Qi family and headed to the palace.
The court meeting at this point should not have ended yet, and Shi Biao was unwilling to show his face in front of so many ministers, so he stayed on the carriage and did not get off the carriage.
When the court meeting was over and the officials were almost gone, Shi Biao got off the carriage and walked toward the palace...
Zhu Jianshen also just returned to Qianqing Palace from Fengtian Palace.
As soon as he woke up, Zhu Jianshen knew that Shi Biao had entered the capital, and also knew that Shi Biao stayed under the city gate last night...
Perhaps if Shi Heng had half the thoughts of his nephew, he would not have come to this point.
Being fearless and arrogant can lead to glory, but it is short-lived. If you want to live a long time, you still have to learn to be patient...
