Chapter 4 Thinking out of the palace
Chunxiang, have you ever thought about leaving the palace?
Chunxiang, who was walking in front, stopped and turned to look at Chang Yu with a trace of inexplicability on his face, but he still thought about it seriously, and then shook his head: "No, the world outside is too chaotic, and besides, what can we do when we go out, we will be humiliated for no reason."
"Do you know that the situation outside is urgent, and do you know that the thief army is about to come to the city?" Chang Yu took a step forward, his eyes were cold, and he was a little excited.
Chunxiang was forced by his momentum, and took a step back a little frightened: "I heard that those thieves won some battles, but, but it is not enough to come to the capital, our Ming army ......"
I tell you: "In two months, the Ming army will break through the capital, and then there will be rivers of blood and corpses all over the field......
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chunxiang was shocked, and quickly stretched out his hand to block Chang Yu's mouth, and looked around: "You, do you know that if you say these words, you will be beheaded."
"I know, but I'll tell you like a brother."
Looking at Chang Yu's sincere and hot gaze, Chunxiang was a little flustered: "But, but how do you know ......?"
"Don't you think I'm different from before, to tell you the truth, I was killed by a rod last time, and my soul went out of my body to see a lot of things that happened in the future, I saw the thief army break through the capital, I saw the thief army kill into the palace, and I saw rivers of blood everywhere!"
There is no way, Chang Yu can only use this kind of godly reason to quickly convince Chunxiang, after all, people in this era worship ghosts and gods.
Chun Xiangleng stayed in the local area, his eyes were full of fear: "This, is this true, no wonder I always feel that you have become a god to talk like this, so ......"
It had an effect, Chang Yu looked around at no one, and pulled Chunxiang: "Do you know how to get out of the palace?" ”
"Leaving the palace, it's impossible, there are strict rules for entering and leaving the palace, and only the celebrant can go out, our Shang Shanjian is just in charge of the meal, and there is no chance to leave the palace."
Chang Yu understands that the celebrant is the leader of the Internal Affairs Office, which is equivalent to the emperor's secretarial body, not only to lead other eunuch institutions, but also to serve other important positions such as Nanjing Garrison, Dongchang Admiral, etc., there have been several famous big names, such as Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian and other powerful big devils.
Because it is a secretarial organization, it is also the only department that can go out of the palace on business trips.
Is it difficult to change departments, Chang Yu frowned deeply, it is not impossible, but it is obviously too late.
"Except for the celebrant and the celebrant, there is no other yamen to go out?"
Chunxiang lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Huanyi Bureau, the only one in the twenty-four yamen is not in the palace, but the Huanyi Bureau is all old palace maids, we can't go if we want to, and their entry and exit have also been strictly inspected, it won't work!" ”
Chang Yu was silent: "And slowly look for opportunities, if you want to survive the palace, it is no longer a safe place, we should make plans in advance, in case of emergency"
"What are you going to do?" Chunxiang now fully believes that Chang Yu has the ability to be a prophet, he is a little eunuch with little knowledge, how can he withstand Chang Yu's flickering, let alone say that he is so godly.
"Looking for a way to enter the ceremonial eunuch, or looking for an opportunity to directly leave the palace, while following me to practice martial arts, even if you can't find a way out of the palace, you will have the ability to protect yourself when the time comes."
"Do you know martial arts?" Chunxiang looked incredulous, he didn't see or hear of Chang Yu's violent beating of Jiang Quan, after all, Jiang Quan has always been used to being domineering, and his fellow housemates are afraid of him, and no one has the courage to say his ugly things at will.
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "When I was at my peak, I beat you more than a hundred."
"Blow you" Chunxiang didn't believe it, and then said: "Do you have any silver on you?" ”
"What do you want money for?" Chang Yu touched his whole body, it was cleaner than his face, he hadn't seen anything like silver since he crossed over.
"Our family asked for leave from Mr. Liu for you, and Mr. Liu doesn't remember the villain, you have to be grateful," Chunxiang said.
Depend on! Chang Yu couldn't help but curse secretly, in his memory, it was Manager Liu who ordered the rod to punish him, and he was beaten for his life, and in turn, he had to take the silver to thank him for not killing?
Chunxiang saw his indignation, and sighed slightly: "Human life is like a dog, not to mention that we are not even human, it's just that, our family still has some broken silver to send to Manager Liu, there is less incident, anyway, we are also planning to leave, more is better than less" said and took out some broken silver from his arms, it looks like there are about two taels!
Chang Yu looked at the silver in his hand, was silent for a moment, looked up at Chunxiang: "Even if I sacrifice my life, I will take you out" and took it: "But sending such a little silver does not show my gratitude."
"Ah, but this is already all our family's belongings, you must know that our Shang Shanjian is no better than those who serve the master without oil and water to fish" Chunxiang was a little anxious.
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "These silver should not be enough to be grateful, but when the capital is enough."
Cost? Chunxiang was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Are you sure?" ”
Chang Yu smiled again: "Our family is best at two things in life, one is fighting, and the other is playing dice"
It is said that there are three industries that are the oldest, murder, gambling, and prostitution.
Regardless of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and no matter inside or outside the palace, as long as there are people, these three professions will not collapse.
Killing people in the palace is the royal prerogative and has nothing to do with the eunuchs, piao prostitutes, although they have the heart, they are powerless and have little to do with the eunuchs, and the rest is just gambling.
Eunuchs are the most inferior servants, plus physical and mental incompleteness, always have to seek some spiritual sustenance, the powerful have a diverse life, as for the ordinary only mixed eating and waiting for death, waiting for death in the process of being afraid of loneliness, so like to gather in groups to drink and gamble for money to seek some excitement.
Chang Yu had heard several eunuchs talking about who had lost and who had won during the three days he had been recuperating, but he was not on his mind at the time.
"You should know the place, right?" Chang Yu squeezed Chunxiang into a color
Chunxiang smiled and nodded: "There are more venues, and we have Shangshan Prison Yamen every night, and sometimes Manager Liu will also play with both hands."
"That's a good feeling," Chang Yu smiled thoughtfully.
If you want to gamble for money, it's too early now, Chang Yu asked Chunxiang to continue to take him around, he wanted to get familiar with the environment of the palace as soon as possible, in case of emergency.
The two of them walked and stopped all the way, walking around the Forbidden City in the imperial city, and along the way, Chunxiang had all kinds of worries and problems, all of which were about Chang Yu's out-of-body experience.
In addition to keeping the secret of the crossing, Chang Yu also has to answer questions, of course, the shortest plausible answers. It's not that they are wary of Chunxiang, but they know that the place they are in is really terrifying, and they will die without a place to bury them if they have a little big mouth, which is also out of the protection of Chunxiang.
Until it was nearly noon, the two finally walked around most of the imperial city except for the inner palace, Chang Yu was fine, but Chunxiang was tired, saying that he would be on duty in the afternoon, urging him to hurry up and have lunch.
Noon is the busiest time for Shang Shanjian, groups of eunuchs and palace maids carry lunch boxes in and out, and the courtyard is full of little eunuchs washing vegetables and doing chores, as well as busy imperial chefs in the kitchen.
Chang Yu chewed slowly and ate to his heart's content, and then repeatedly told Chunxiang, who was on duty, to eat more, to have more strength to eat, and then leave Shang Shanjian.
The midday sun was warm, the cold wind was weaker, the snow was beginning to melt, and the roads in the imperial city were wet.
Chang Yu did not return to the prison barn, but walked slowly along the imperial city wall to eat, perhaps because of the warmth, there were more people in the imperial city, of course, all eunuchs and palace maids.
After looking for the imperial city and a vacant place, seeing that there was no one around, Chang Yu took off his cotton clothes, couldn't help shivering, and then did a few stretches and felt that the injuries on his body were fine, and then started a military body boxing.
That's right, Chang Yu was originally a sanda athlete in the army, even if he played a professional game after retiring from the army, military physical boxing is still his favorite basic training.
There are three sets of military boxing, which have a positive effect on the development of endurance, speed, and strength, and are also the best basic exercises for exercising the body and enhancing physical fitness.
Chang Yu is serious about fighting, every move and every style is very attentive, he is trying to make his current thin body stronger step by step.
was overly serious, and when he only hit the second set, a fine sweat broke out on Chang Yu's head, which also made him sigh secretly, it was too weak for this body.
