Chapter 17: Four Years in the Blink of an Eye

The next day, Zhao Zhong sent his younger brother Zhao Chun to the Jiafang Palace to serve as the palace commander.

Zhao Zhong brothers three, the eldest brother named Zhao Yan, Yu Yang served as the captain of the city gate, the younger brother Zhao Chun served as a small yellow gate in the palace, protected by Zhao Zhong, in the past, when Zhao Zhong was flawless, Zhao Chun was in charge of the Changqiu Palace, lest Guo Sheng's generation secretly dig his territory.

After the turmoil in Yongle Palace, Zhao Zhong, who had cried to Empress He before about Empress Dowager Dong's expulsion of him, turned his head and called his younger brother Zhao Chun to him, and happily revealed his deal with Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng, and immediately told Zhao Chun: "This time I paid a lot of price to ask Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng to promise to recommend you as the first palace order, Ah Chun, you must seize the opportunity to get Shi Hou's trust, and our family will rely on you in the future." ”

Zhao Chun was just in his early twenties, and he was protected by his second brother Zhao Zhong in the past, and he didn't encounter any difficulties or setbacks in the palace.

Is this still going to be taught?

That is, his own brother, Zhao Zhong patiently taught: "What's so difficult about this? What Shi Hou wants to do, you will accompany him to do it, if he encounters any trouble, you should take it, go back and our brothers will sum up, solve it for Shi Hou, and in the long run, Shi Hou will naturally be inseparable from you." ”

Zhao Chun nodded, and then asked again: "That...... What if Shi Hou still wants to go to Dongguan? I heard that Feng Yu was killed with a rod in order to prevent Shi Hou from going to Dongguan. ”

"This ......"

Zhao Zhong pondered for a long time, and then told his younger brother: "You just follow, you don't have to stop it." If something really happens, you can tell Yu Wei's brother in time. ...... Everything is important to get close to Shi Hou. ”

Seeing his younger brother nodding, he immediately added: "Also, the idea is to keep an eye on that Cai Yong's daughter, if you have the opportunity, eavesdrop on her talking to Shi Hou to see if this woman has bewitched Shi Hou......"

"Cai Yong's daughter?" Zhao Chun said in surprise: "Second brother, do you suspect that she instigated Shi Hou to kill Feng Yu with a cane?"

"I don't know. Zhao Zhong shook his head, then frowned and said: "Xu Yan of Dongguan only went to the Jiafang Hall on the front foot, and Shi Hou on the back foot clamored to take her to Dongguan, but Feng Yu went up to stop her and was ordered to be killed by Shi Hou...... Don't you think it's weird?"

"Wouldn't it?" Zhao Chun was surprised: "When Shi Hou brought Cai Ji to Changqiu Palace to meet the queen, the younger brother also saw it from afar, and he looked quite cowardly......"

"Hmph, not necessarily. ”

Zhao Zhong snorted incomprehensibly, but then told Zhao Chun: "You just need to keep an eye on her as much as possible, you don't have to be bad with her, of course, if you can get along with her, it would be the best." ...... If it's really this woman who is instigating behind her back, let's make another plan. Remember?"

"Remembered. Zhao Chun nodded.

After the instructions, Zhao Chun took the four little eunuchs of the Changqiu Palace to serve in the Jiafang Palace.

As for Empress He's side, Empress He naturally wouldn't stop her, compared to people who didn't know her origin staying by her son's side, she trusted Zhao Chun's younger brother and the people of her Changqiu Palace more.

When Zhao Chun led people to the Jiafang Palace, Liu Wei was still sleeping with Cai Yan in his arms.

After all, he tried his hand yesterday, divided the ten permanent servants, and single-handedly dominated the turmoil in Yongle Palace, and he didn't fall asleep for most of the night excitedly, and he didn't fall asleep until around the time of the child, and naturally he didn't wake up at this time.

But Cai Yan woke up first.

When I woke up, the hands of the person next to the pillow were still so unruly, and she obviously said that she had 'no meat on her chest'.

Maybe it was because of yesterday's experience, the girl's ability to bear it has strengthened a lot, although she is ashamed in her heart, but she doesn't shout loudly, but she angrily pulls the unruly hand away from her chest, and lets it be exposed at first, but after thinking about it, the girl sighs and stuffs the hand back into the quilt.

"He'...... Is it really only ten years old?'

She looked curiously at the sleeping figure of the man she was sleeping with, and at his face, which was even more immature than she was.

Although she admits that this Shi Hou is very good to her, but aside from this aspect, the impression left by this Shi Hou on her is actually not very good, just like a gentleman who lacks discipline, acts frivolously and debauched, and is only ten years old, but he takes advantage of her at every turn, and she doesn't like this.

But yesterday, when he was young, he let her see another face, another ...... The indifferent, domineering, and tyrannical face did not change his face and ordered Feng Yu and the other seven people to be killed.

That's eight lives!

At that time, not to mention that the entire inside and outside of the temple was shocked, even she trembled slightly with fear, thinking of the tyrants in history, and the words 'those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish'.

Obviously fostered in the home of a person who has attained enlightenment in the people, why can he order the life of others without changing his face?

Taking someone's life or something was unimaginable to her.

But what made her a little unhappy was that he didn't reveal anything to her, obviously after Feng Yu's incident, what did he say to her about 'sharing hardships'......

"You can deceive people at a young age......"

Cai Yan wrinkled his nose and muttered quietly.

But now he was very quiet, and his expression was neither frivolous nor indifferent, like an ordinary ten-year-old child.

I don't know how long it took to say, a questioning voice sounded on the couch: "Wen Ji, what are you watching me do?"

Cai Yan was shocked to realize that Liu Wei had woken up, her face was a little ashamed, and she didn't know why she was staring at the sleeping face of a ten-year-old child.

"I see. ”

In fact, Liu Wei didn't figure it out, but this didn't prevent him from talking nonsense to tease the girl: "You are attracted by my handsome appearance, right?"

Cai Yan, who was originally ashamed in his heart, was angry and funny when he heard this, his phoenix eyes turned white, and he said angrily: "Since Shi Hou has woken up, let's get up, and I will go to Changqiu Palace later......"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Liu Wei curiously.

Not to mention, although this kid is young, he is indeed much better looking than the children in the village where she lived before.

Also, although Emperor Ling has been indulging in wine all the year round, he can be elected by Empress Dowager Dou as the successor to the throne, and his appearance is naturally not a problem, and Queen He is needless to say, Liu Wei inherited the appearance of Emperor Ling and Queen He, so naturally it will not be bad.

In the following time, Liu Wei yawned and got dressed with the help of Cai Yan, and naturally took the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Otherwise, he will dress himself, and he needs Cai Yanxiang to help him.

After dressing, Liu Wei took Cai Yan out of the dormitory, and at this time he saw three strange little eunuchs standing outside the dormitory, the first of which was Zhao Chun.

When he saw Liu Wei, he hurriedly took the lead in saluting: "Zhao Chun, the servant of the Yellow Gate, was ordered by the queen to serve as the palace order, and he is here to greet Shi Hou." ”

"You were sent by the Queen Mother?"

Liu Wei couldn't help but be a little surprised, after all, as far as he knew, the palace order that accompanied the prince should be Zhang Rang's territory, how could Zhang Rang easily hand over this power?

"Wait...... Zhao?'

With a thought in his heart, Liu Wei asked curiously: "You and Da Changqiu Zhao Zhong and Zhao Changshi, but they are relatives?"

Zhao Chun lowered his head and replied, "Zhao Changshou is the second brother of the minister. ”

"Oh......"

Liu Wei suddenly realized, but also remembered the details of this Zhao Chun.

There are not many records of this Zhao Chun in history, only that he is the younger brother of Zhao Yan, the captain of the city gate, and Zhao Zhong, the regular servant of the Zhongchang Servant, and was friendly with Sima Pan Yin, who was entrusted by the Ling Emperor to Gu Jian Shuo in the future.

And Pan Yin is the key person who told He Jin and enabled He Jin to get rid of Jian Shuo first.

Of course, from Liu Wei's point of view, the more critical thing is Zhao Chun's eldest brother, Zhao Yan, the captain of the city gate.

The captain of the city gate, as the name suggests, is the general who guards the city gates of Luoyang City, it and the ruling Jinwu, the marquis of the Northern Army contain each other, do not belong to each other, is one of the three military forces to defend Luoyang, and it is also the outermost defense.

If something happens in Luoyang, as long as the captain of the city gate does not cooperate, foreign troops will not be able to enter Luoyang, which shows the criticality of this position.

Liu Wei originally planned to use Zhao Zhong to bring Zhao Yan, the captain of the city gate, into his command, but before he could act, Zhao Zhong took the initiative to show favor and sent his brother Zhao Chun to his side, saving him a lot of effort.

However, it is time to knock on the warning.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei deliberately frowned and said to Zhao Chun: "You are the younger brother of Zhao Changshi, and you are a person from my mother's Changqiu Palace, I shouldn't doubt you, but I still have to ask you, you won't be like Feng Yu before?"

Zhao Chun was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Feng Yu is a villain, and the minister will never dare to do such a thing." ”

Noticing the panicked appearance on his face, Liu Wei muttered secretly in his heart: This Zhao Chun looks like he is in his twenties, how can he feel so immature?

Of course, that's a good thing.

If Zhao Chun is really so immature, it is still unknown who will control whom he and the other party will control in the future!

Thinking of this, Liu Wei smiled and helped Zhao Chun up, patted his arm oldly, and promised with a smile: "That's good." ...... As long as you are faithful to me, you will be prosperous and rich in the future. ”

Thinking about it, Zhao Chun didn't expect that he would be accepted by this Shi Hou so easily, and when he heard the promise again, his face was full of joy: "Yes, the minister must be loyal to Shi Hou." ”

A moment later, Liu Wei took Cai Yan and Zhao Chun to Changqiu Palace.

While Liu Wei and Cai Yan were greeting Empress He, Zhao Zhong asked his younger brother privately: "How is it?

Zhao Chun told Zhao Zhong what Liu Wei said to him, and Zhao Zhong was also very pleased, judging from their vision, pleasing that Shi Hou was everything, but they didn't know that Shi Hou actually wanted to borrow their power.

After most of the month, Empress He's Changqiu Palace and Empress Dowager Dong's Yongle Palace began a fierce battle, different from the previous two palaces, this time even Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Sun Zhang, Guo Sheng, Feng Zhen, Xia Yun and other ten of the more famous main figures of the ten permanent servants also went out to fight, attacking each other, not to mention that the little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were terrified, everyone was in danger, and even Song Dian and Bi Lan, who held a neutral position among the ten permanent servants, were also restless.

And Liu Wei, who personally led all this, honestly read and practiced calligraphy accompanied by Cai Yan during this time, kept his eyes on his face, kept a low profile, and downplayed the influence of some of the previous enumerated movements.

I don't know if it's because of the chaos in the harem during this time, and I don't have time to take care of it, but no one suspects him.
