In front of a big mansion near Puen Temple in Anfufang, Lao Hu stopped the carriage with a loud voice, turned his head and whispered: "Factory Gong, it's here."

Chang Yu snorted, leaned out of the car, and saw the book on the door of the house, with a white flag on the wall next to the door, and no one was seen in front of the door, and the door was closed.

Knocked lightly on the door a few times, and after a while, the door opened, and a family member poked his head out and frowned, "Who are you?" ”

"Please inform the horse master, Chang Yu is here to incense."

"My lord said, no one will see it" The family was a little impatient and was about to close the door, Chang Yu stretched out his foot to block it: "You just said that Chang Yu came to incense, and your master will see it!" ”

The housekeeper looked at him a few times, then turned and left.

Chang Yu held his hands outside the door of the house behind his back, looked around, Gong Yonggu is versatile, and has good popularity, and has won the trust of Chongzhen, how can he be so lonely at this time, there are only two possibilities to think about it, the first Princess Le'an has died of illness for many days, and the people who came here to mourn have already come, and the second is that Gong Yonggu has a deep relationship with his husband and wife, and he was hit by this, refused to visit, and healed alone!

Looking up at the three big characters of the horse mansion on his head, Chang Yu smiled bitterly, the most talked about by ordinary people listening to books and watching dramas should be this kind of drama, winning the champion was pointed out by the emperor as a concubine, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the phoenix man climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix to the peak of his life!

However, is this really the case, and how can outsiders know about the suffering, the horse is simply inserted into the door, but it is inserted in the emperor's house, if ordinary people have a man who inserts the door upside down, he will be looked down upon, and the emperor's horse will also be looked down upon by courtiers and nobles, and many times it is not as good as ordinary people.

For example, after marriage, the princess and the concubine do not live together, the princess of the Ming Dynasty lives in the Ten Princes' Mansion in the east of the city, and the concubine lives in the Concubine's Mansion, so she can't see each other often, and she can't see each other if she wants to, which is to prevent the princess and the concubine from getting too close, so as to prevent relatives from interfering in politics.

And, even if you want to see it, you have to pass the housekeeper's mother-in-law.

The housekeeper is generally the palace maid next to the princess's biological mother, who is responsible for the daily life management of the princess after marriage, and is officially called the person in charge of the palace.

Don't underestimate the power of this person in charge of the palace, if the horse wants to see the princess, she has to go through her approval, and even every time they meet, they have to be recorded, when they meet, what they do, and even papapa.

In ancient times, women were seriously harmed by feudal etiquette, and frequent summoning of horses would be regarded as lewdness. Therefore, even if the princesses miss their husbands, they cannot summon the horses from time to time. What's more, most of the palace maids and grandmothers in charge of this matter are old women with twisted hearts and greedy natures, and if they don't please and bribe them, they will be made difficult in every way, making it difficult for lovers to meet. Therefore, it is really difficult for the princess to meet the colt.

For example, Princess Shouning during the period of Mingshenzong, her housekeeper was called Liang Yingnu, the princess and the concubine had a bad relationship with him, she was embarrassed everywhere, not letting the two meet, and even drove the eunuch to beat the horse violently, the head of the beating was bloody, the flesh and blood were blurred, the princess came out to persuade and was also scolded by her, and even the wicked person sued first, so that the princess was ignored several times to Mingshenzong, and the angry horse "hung the crown Chang'an Gate to go" simply inappropriate horse.

Fortunately, Gong Yonggu and Princess Le'an did not have such a bloody thing, after all, Princess Le'an is Chongzhen's sister and Zhu Cihong's aunt, and Gong Yonggu is trusted by Chongzhen as a confidant.

According to historical records, after the death of Princess Le'an, the royal family wanted to take away all the princess's belongings, including the golden book (marriage certificate) Gong Yonggu had a deep love for his husband and wife, crying and begging Chongzhen to take away anything, can you leave the marriage certificate to me as a thought, Chongzhen was moved by his affection and allowed him to leave the golden book.

It's not easy to be a son-in-law, Chang Yu sighed, looked up at the sky, and saw twilight.

At the same time, I heard the sound of footsteps, and just looked back, the door of the Horse Mansion creaked open, and a few people walked out, and the first one looked extremely haggard, his eyes were red and swollen, and his beard was sloppy, but it was Gong Yonggu.

"Chang, Chang Gonggong!" When Gong Yonggu saw Chang Yu, his emotions suddenly lost control again, and his tears couldn't help but burst out.

Chang Yu hurriedly stepped up, supported with both hands, and looked sad: "The horse is mourning."

Gong Yonggu nodded vigorously, stretched out his hand and touched his tears: "Father-in-law Chang, please."

"Please" Chang Yu immediately followed into the Horse Mansion.

Today, the power of the Ming Dynasty has declined, and the imperial relatives who cling to it are also declining, and the horse is a powerless idle job, so Gong Yonggu's mansion is not as magnificent as ordinary people imagine, and it is not even as rich as some ordinary rich families in the capital, but after all, Gong Yonggu is thin and talented, and the mansion is elegant although it is not arrogant.

Chang Yu followed Gong Yonggu into the house in a hurry, and walked straight to the back hall, there were very few people in the house, all wearing filial piety clothes, but he was a little surprised to see him, how could a young man still need to be greeted by the master in person, what is the origin.

The mourning hall is white, a thick coffin in the hall, there are incense burners and fruit offerings in front of the coffin, and there are five children in filial piety standing on the left and right, Chang Yu knows that the children of Gong Yonggu and Princess Le'an are the oldest, and the oldest is only twelve or thirteen.

took the incense, lit it, kowtowed, inserted the incense burner, Gong Yonggu asked several children to kneel down to thank Chang Yu, Chang Yu leaned over one by one and helped him up, his eyes were full of pity, you must know that in history, these children were all tied to Princess Le'an's coffin by Gong Yonggu and burned.

In the side room, the maid made tea and retreated, Gong Yonggu still whispered to Chang Yu with a sad face, but he sighed in his heart, the little eunuch in front of him was unknown more than a month ago, and he only had the impression of fists and feet, but since he heard about his shocking dream in the prince's mansion, everything has changed, and now he has become the leader of Dongchang, and has made great contributions to the enemy on the front line......

Everything he said in his dream was answered, and because of this, the prince trusted him, the queen trusted him, the emperor trusted him, and even he believed in him, this person has the courage and resourcefulness and the power of a prophet, if you say that he is an ordinary person, who believes it!

"That's roughly the case, our family was edicted to return to Beijing, and the thieves fled into Henan, because it was inconvenient to ask about the future because of the suspicion, but I think that at this time, Zhou Yujiding is still guarding in Taiyuan, and there is a lack of food there is no way to pursue, and there are no soldiers and no generals in Henan, and there is no way to resist the thief army, and the people of the Central Plains have been ravaged not to mention, but I am afraid that the thief army will enter Hebei and kill the capital!" Chang Yu sighed.

Gong Yonggu was shocked, he had heard Chang Yu say that the thief army was originally to break Taiyuan, and then divided the army into two ways all the way to Beijing, although the dream has changed, but if the thief army from Hebei is still the same consequence, the Ming Dynasty is not to be destroyed, not to mention that the original "dream" thief leader Liu Fangliang is indeed from Baoding all the way north to Beijing City.

"That's ......" Gong Yonggu was a little flustered.

"At present, there are too few soldiers and generals who can move in the Ming Dynasty, and they can dare to stop, there are not many who can stop the thief army, our family is not talented, and we are somewhat sure of the thieves, but I don't know what the emperor thinks at the moment, I am just calling me back to Beijing to ask, but I don't see him use, the military situation is urgent, our family can't wait, but there is no way, I have said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, let him go to the line of Lord Shoufu to see if he can deliver a message to the emperor, here I also ask the master to put aside his sorrow for the time being, the state affairs are important, can he give the emperor a ......"

"State affairs are important, and no one should be compromised" Gong Yonggu immediately said, he is Chongzhen's most trusted person, different from Chang Yu, although Chongzhen also trusts Chang Yu but has a heart to guard against him, but he knows Gong Yonggu very well, has more than ten years of trust, and has almost no defense, which is also the reason why he entrusted Gu to Gong Yonggu before he died when the thief army invaded the palace.

The two whispered for a while, seeing that it was already dark, Chang Yu got up to say goodbye, Gong Yonggu knew that he still had something to do, and he didn't keep much, so he would enter the palace early in the morning.

Out of the Horse Mansion, the pedestrians on the street became sparse, and he glanced at the white banner next to the door in the night, which looked extremely mad, Chang Yu couldn't help but feel excited, and walked towards the carriage on the opposite street.

When Lao Hu saw him coming, he couldn't help but exhale, Chang Yu saw that his face was pale, so he couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, is it too cold?" ”

"Factory father, are you really not afraid?" Lao Hu couldn't help but look around: "The little old man always feels that someone is staring in the dark."

Chang Yu laughed and pointed to the towering city wall not far away: "Under the root of the imperial city, who dares to be so bold!" ”

"That being the case, let's go back early, I always feel uneasy" Lao Hu was about to turn the head of the car, the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City was not far to the north, and a cup of tea would arrive, and he planned to enter the palace directly from the Xi'an Gate.

"Don't go back to the palace first, go to Dongcheng" Chang Yu got into the carriage and lay down and squinted.

Lao Hu was stunned: "In case the emperor summons you ......"

"Someone has come to report" Chang Yu's lazy voice came from the car.

Lao Hu stopped talking, and whipped the car and drove north.
