22. Message
The night is getting deeper.
Liuyu didn't even call a lantern, so he took the money to pick up the gatekeeper, followed the path, covered the eyes and ears, and walked around the patrol route of the guards that he usually wrote down, and walked to the back of a rockery not far from the Chenyun Palace. There was a cave with a hidden entrance, and three or four people could barely stand. He lifted the long green vines that were hidden, bent down and crawled in. There were two figures inside.
Reflecting the faint lights, Liuyu saw the faces of the two of them clearly, which was exactly the blessings of Chenyun Palace.
It was full of impatient expressions. Chen Yun Palace is now in and out of strictness. Even if the two of them sneak out, it would take a lot of effort. If they were discovered by another eunuch, Sheng Hai, it would not be so easy to meet.
Liuyu kowtowed three times with respect to Defudeqiu, and defu ignored it. He accepted these bows coldly and asked, "You came to send persimmons that day and said that there was something important to report. Our family will listen to it today."
The light swayed in the wind, and was impatient, and interrupted, "Brother, he is a little guy from the imperial kitchen, what is important to know."
Liuyu kowtowed to Dequan and knelt down. He adjusted his breath and said calmly: "The slave is a little eunuch. He can't know any shocking secrets, but this matter is very important to the two father-in-laws."
He paused and continued, "It's Liangyu's business. He is not from the Royal Kitchen."
Dequan was stunned, but Defu smiled, "Can we not know this? The imperial kitchen was dug three feet away and could not find it. It must be someone else. What, do you know?"
Liuyu raised his head and his voice became lighter. "The slave followed behind Chengxin to find out what the slave was for the two father-in-laws, so that the whole master could get what he wanted. Chengxin hid his identity tightly. After asking around for a long time, he found that the little eunuch was named Liangyu, who was from Taiqing Palace, and the only eunuch who was deposed prince."
Defu was stunned and suddenly smiled, even his overly mean face showed some joy, and patted his shoulders all over, "My good brother, you can choose a good candidate."
Emperor Yuande was furious at Concubine Feng for what happened. Although this matter was kept strictly from the outside, it was always known that it was a matter in Chenyun Palace. The reason was that a corpse was found in the small hill pavilion of the original East Palace, and it was related to Concubine Feng, which angered the holy intention. The deposed prince was originally a sting of Concubine Feng's heart, and now it was time to have to be pulled out.
Defu is very willing to solve the problems of Concubine Feng. The most important thing is to step down Sheng Hai, another chief officer in Chenyun Palace.
The headmaster of Chenyun Palace is Li Liuhai, who is not young and soon it is time to retreat. Defu Dequan came to Chenyun Palace very early. He climbed all the way from a young eunuch to his current position. It was originally supposed to be his position as the headmaster. But two years ago, another eunuch came suddenly, which was very popular with Li Liuhai. He even changed his name with one word in his name, which was Sheng Hai. Sheng Hai was very arrogant with Li Liuhai, and now he is almost overwhelmed the two eunuchs who grew up in Chenyun Palace.
This doesn't work.
Defu's thoughts changed and he had already figured out how to operate this matter. He bent down and lifted the Liuyu's chin with force. The tone of his speech was gentle, mixed with a hint of coldness, "What about you, little guy, what should you exchange for with our family for this news?"
Liuyu's neck was broken suddenly, and the pain was so painful, but he couldn't move. He looked at Defu and said, "I have always admired my two father-in-laws. I want to come to Chenyun Palace to serve the two father-in-laws. Defu is kind and open-minded, but Sheng Hai of Chenyun Palace does not understand. If he wants to fight with him, I am willing to work hard for my father-in-law."
Liangyu's affairs were just a stepping stone, and he finally waited for an opportunity.
Dequan finally got the news about Liangyu, and he didn't have time to go around with a little eunuch like Liuyu. He kicked Liuyu's knees and said sarcastically: "Come on, grandpas have heard so many good words and lies, so it's better to tell something interesting."
The fish's eyes were full of ambition, "I want to fight for one thing, but if I don't fight for another thing, how can I have a future? I don't want to stay in the imperial kitchen, staying with the smoke and firewood all day long, and I'll lose my life in vain."
He always understood this truth when wealth and honor were in danger. The palace was not always like this, and everyone wanted to climb up, even if it was stepping on the blood of others, what was the relationship?
Defu raised his eyebrows and laughed sharply and softly, "You are a clever child, and the clever place is right. The most lacking thing in our Chenyun Palace is you. Recently, our Empress has a missing person to comb her hair. You go back to practice and pick you out of the imperial kitchen and be my first godson. From now on, wealth and glory will never be missing."
He knew that Liuyu was not a sloppy person, but he was still young and lacked smart and capable people around him, so he could control it.
Liuyu got the news of affirmation, kowtowed a few more times, and quickly went back late at night while no one was discovered.
Dequan was still in his heart with a pretty face he met that day. He smiled flatteringly, and pointed at Defu, asking, "Brother, I know you have your own plan, that one, the one named Liangyu..."
Defu hated that he was not a good player, but was his own younger brother or soft-hearted and said coldly: "Please restrain yourself. From childhood to adulthood, can your brother have a time to prevent you from succeeding? Let's wait."
Their voices gradually disappeared in the night and could no longer be heard.
In Taiqing Palace.
Jing Yan stood in front of the window frame, put on a thin coat, and did not light a lantern. Instead, he slowly cut the wood carving in his hand with the moonlight, which had already become a general appearance.
Xiao Shisi hid in the shadow and reported to the recent matters in a low voice. "The young general's pseudonym Xia Xueqing has found an opportunity to enter the military camp. He asked someone to bring him over, saying that he was in southern Xinjiang, but he missed the scenery of the northern border. I wonder if your highness should deal with the northern border army?"
Because it was too important to Chen Sang, it was afraid that there would be any mistakes and could not be written with paper and pen. It was reported by Xiao Shisi in person. But when he said these words, Xiao Shisi could not help but be too nervous.
Jing Yan raised the object in his hand, looked at the bright moon for a moment, wiped off some wood chips, and turned his head and said, "More than 100 people from the Chen family have died long ago, and Chen Sang is dead. There is no such person in the world. Xia Xueqing is a southern Xinjiang native, and has a deep feud with the barbarians. The southern Xinjiang has not been calmed down. How can he get involved in the military power of the northern border? What's more, the northern border needs to be united and cannot tolerate a second person."
The Chen family has been in the northern part of the Sei River for many years and has promoted and trained countless generals, which are the backbone of the northern part of the Sei River. Even if Emperor Yuande wants to completely eliminate the influence of the Chen family, he must have some concerns. After all, if it is to be achieved overnight and there is no one in the northern part of the Sei River, the Hu people will step through the border and invade. At that time, smoke of gunpowder will spread everywhere, and the people will live in poverty and suffer greater losses.
However, Emperor Yuande was suspicious and uncertain. He would never allow Sebei to continue to be in the hands of a group of generals who were originally affiliated with the Chen family. Even if the Chen family died, these generals would never be able to have nothing to do with the Chen family. They either died slowly one by one in the hands of Emperor Yuande, or followed the deposed prince Jing Yan. After all, even if Emperor Yuande died young and ascended the throne, if he was Feng Nannan's child, Sebei would still be a thorn in the heart of the new emperor.
The best and only choice now is to follow the deposed prince, but with Chen Sang it is different. If there is a choice, there will be differences and disputes.
Jing Yan paused, as if waiting for Xiao Shisi to figure it out, and smiled at him and said, "I think you all should understand that Chen Sang cannot live."
A drop of cold sweat rolled down Xiao Shisi's forehead, and it fell on the ground with a slight noise.
He looked up a little and could see the prince standing in the moonlight. He could only see half of his side face. The prince's eyebrows were low and his phoenix eyes closed slightly. His vague gaze was like a cold, blood-stained blade, which could cut open flesh and pierce the bones.
Xiao Shisi's back was soaked that he didn't dare to look at each other anymore. He couldn't help but think that the prince was only fifteen, and his momentum was introverted but amazing. In the moment just now, he thought he was facing Emperor Yuande.
Jing Yan looked at the half-carved wood carving with satisfaction, as if he had remembered something, and said in a deep voice: "There are two guards who are always there at the door, one of them is Lu Zhao. I think he is familiar with him. You go and send someone to check his life experience."
Queen Chen has discovered since Jing Yan's childhood that the prince's talent is really amazing. He is not only precocious and keen, but also can understand the subtle emotional changes of the people around him, but also can remember all the people or things that may be useful in the Qing Dynasty. Even if he has read the map once, he will not get lost even if he closes his eyes.
There is only one disadvantage. Even if he is outstanding, he is too young.
Xiao Shisi received the order and said again: "Your Highness, then, where is Concubine Feng?"
Jing Yan smiled, "What do you care about her? She and the Feng family are just dogs. Now they have just been kicked by their master and are about to please them, but they can't even care about the harem, let alone the previous dynasty."
His opponent was never Feng Nannan, nor was the Feng family's gang members who formed a clique in the court for personal gain, but Emperor Yuande.
Always.
After Xiao Shisi left, most of Jing Yan's wood carvings were carved. Qiao Yu's dormitory was not far from here, and he could vaguely see the dim lights coming out of the thin window paper, which lit up not long ago.
Jing Yan put down the wood carving in his hand and walked over there. When he pushed the door open, Qiao Yu was huddling in the quilt, focusing on doing something. The lantern was not placed on the wooden rack as usual, but was hung on the head of the bed, with a layer of single clothes on his head, probably to cover up his eyes and ears.
He walked lightly and approached a little. Before Qiao Yu noticed it, he suddenly lifted the clothes on the paper lantern and asked, "What bad thing is you doing? You are sneaking and don't want me to discover it. You also use clothes to cover the lantern. If you walk away, will you run too far?"
Qiao Yu was shocked, and his hands became more powerful. The needle pierced into his fingertips, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
