Chapter 366: A Loyal Servant in the Brocade Guard
Out of the ceremonial eunuch's yamen, Chang Yu couldn't help frowning, feeling a little irritable in his heart, although there are many things to deal with at the moment, but what worries him the most is the thief army, what he wants most at the moment is to immediately be ordered to go out of Beijing and go south to suppress the bandits.
However, Chongzhen didn't know why, he was as steady as an old dog, and even said that he would let him face the saint today, but he hadn't been summoned until now, so he couldn't stay in the palace and stare dryly, right?
Chang Yu decided to go out of the palace, not for anything else, but to go to Gong Yonggu's Mansion to go to the pillar incense.
"Father-in-law Chang, father-in-law Chang, are you okay......" At this time, a familiar voice came, Chang Yu followed the prestige, but saw Lao Hu walking briskly from a distance, with great joy on his face.
"Hey, Lao Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look good!" Seeing the old Chang Yu's heart, he was happy, and walked forward quickly.
Lao Hu was a little excited: "Thanks to you, the small body is quite tough, you went back to the palace last night, and today I looked for you, and I finally found out that you are here, the little ......"
Lao Hu said that he suddenly saw Chang Yu's face a little cold, and hurriedly stopped: "Chang, Chang Gong ......"
"Lao Hu, you and I are originally the same house, the relationship is close and not comparable to outsiders, why haven't we seen each other for a few days, but we are so unfamiliar, one bite of yours, if so, we will still break off this friendship in the future" Chang Yu's face was cold.
Lao Hu was suddenly embarrassed, and said, "Father-in-law, Xiao ...... Ahem, the little old man will be offended in the future! ”
Chang Yu laughed, put his hand on the shoulder and patted him: "That's good, let's go, accompany me out of the palace"
Seeing the two of them leave with their shoulders hooked up, the eunuchs and palace maids near the celebrant yamen showed envy on their faces, and it was a dream for them to be so close to Chang Yu.
The two of them walked south along the moat on the east side of the palace, chatting in a low voice, and the eunuchs and palace maids greeted each other on the way, and Chang Yu also responded with a smile.
"You went to drive the car and wait for me outside the Daming Gate" Outside the Donghua Gate, Chang Yu whispered to Lao Hu.
Lao Hu responded, and asked in a low voice: "Don't you bring some manpower, I heard that there has been restlessness outside recently."
Chang Yu smiled: "Even you have heard about this, so why should I be afraid?"
Saying that, he waved his hand, turned around and walked towards Donghua Gate, but Lao Hu was confused, and couldn't understand why he knew that someone was not good for him, but he was not afraid.
Lao Hu naturally didn't understand, the more well-known things were, the less likely the other party was to act rashly!
Entering the Donghua Gate, Chang Yu looked left and right, walked straight along the palace wall to the Ciqing Palace in the north, and deliberately stopped and looked at it for a while when he passed by the Wenyuan Pavilion, the office building of the cabinet ministers, and finally left the East Palace without any gain.
Zhu Cihong was resting in the hall, he didn't get enough sleep last night, and he was full of water and food in the afternoon, and he finally fell asleep, but when he heard that Chang Yu was coming, he immediately turned over and got up: "But I've seen my father."
Chang Yu shook his head, the emperor had not summoned him.
Zhu Cihong rubbed his eyes and yawned: "I heard that my father and the emperor were banqueting Shi Kefa and the cabinet ministers in the palace, I must have not dispersed yet, you are waiting, I have already passed the breath with Li Mingrui at noon, you can wait a while."
"I'm going to go out of the palace to go to Gongfu Ma Mansion to put incense on the pillar, and Your Highness can go with me?" Chang Yu asked.
Zhu Cihong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am not a very human being, how can I go out of the palace at will, and go to Gongfu to incense and the system is not compatible, you can go by yourself."
Chang Yu thought about it, but he didn't leave immediately, but sat down and chatted with Zhu Cihong about football, and told all his thoughts, sure enough, the prince was full of interest, and asked questions from time to time, from the establishment to the rules, Chang Yu also answered patiently, took out pen and ink and drew and wrote on the paper
After a while, almost half an hour passed, and still did not see Chongzhen summoned, so he said goodbye and left, out of Ciqing Palace, hesitated slightly, and then walked north, to the Qianqing Gate near the stop to observe from afar.
There are still many people outside the Qianqing Gate, ministers, officials, eunuchs, guards, etc., Chang Yu stood for a while, Fang San trotted over, and the factory duke: "Shi Kefa has not come out."
Chang Yu nodded: "What about his entourage outside the palace, can it be arranged?" ”
"The little one has gone, and his entourage refused politely, thinking that it was done by other courtiers, so he avoided suspicion, but then found out that it was a person in the palace, so he responded, and at this time opened the upper room at the Fubao Inn outside the front door."
Chang Yu snorted, asked Fang San to continue staring, told himself where he was going, if the emperor summoned him, he would immediately go to find him, and then turned around and left.
Walking all the way, out of the noon gate, Chengtianmen (Tiananmen) is a thousand-step corridor, both sides are all the yamen, Chang Yu walked to the Jinyi guard yamen.
Jinyiwei's yamen is divided into the north and south town Fu Division, to put it simply, the North Town Fu Division is the action agency, and the South Town Fu Division is the discipline inspection unit, responsible for the internal discipline of Jin Yiwei, and has no real power.
"Knock on the factory master" As soon as Chang Yu entered the yamen, someone saluted, he nodded slightly, walked quickly and went straight to the lobby, and asked: "Commander Wu can be in the yamen?" ”。
An accompanying Jinyi guard behind him hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, Lord Wu is arraigned in prison behind the hall."
Chang Yu nodded: "Go and report it, our family is waiting in the hall."
Immediately Chang Yu arrived in the lobby, there were people in the hall, looking more faceless, but seeing that the clothes were not pawns, he was doubting in his heart, and several people came to him.
"I have seen the factory father."
"You two ......," Chang Yu asked as he looked at the two middle-aged men in their forties in front of him.
"The lowly Jinyi guard is the commander of Wang Guoxing, and the lowly Jinyi guard is the commander of the Tongzhi Li Ruogui, who has seen the factory superintendent," and the two hurriedly greeted each other again.
But Chang Yu was stunned, staring at the two of them, his expression was different, and the two of them muttered in their hearts, I don't know why this eunuch is like this.
They didn't know that Chang Yu's heart was shaken, because after Chongzhen committed suicide in history, these two were subsequently martyred, which can be described as loyal.
"It was originally two adults, I have heard of the name for a long time, and when I saw it today, my family was ashamed of my family" Chang Yu got up and hugged his fists, and the two of them were even more shocked in their hearts, what are you doing? This eunuch's praise is too exaggerated, and his mouth is repeated, he doesn't dare to dare.
Seeing that the two of them were a little embarrassed, Chang Yu had no choice but to give up, restore his original forced style, took the tea handed by a Jinyi Wei servant, blew his breath, looked at Wang Guoxing and said: "I heard that there is a thousand households named Gao Wencai in the Jinyi Guard, who can be in the yamen at this time?" ”
Gao Wencai? Wang Guoxing was only stunned, and then said: "Go back to the factory superintendent, there is such a person" said and said to a Jinyi guard captain at the door: "Quickly go to find a thousand households to come."
"It's a good day!" Chang Yu put down the teacup and suddenly said such a sentence, which made Wang Guoxing and Li Ruogui confused, and they didn't know why.
"Lord Factory Governor, but that Gao Qianhu has committed a crime?" Li Ruogui asked cautiously.
Chang Yu shook his head: "No, it's just that the governor has something to do with him" said and motioned for the two to sit down: "The two of you have been busy with official business recently."
"Shang Ke," Li Ruogui and Wang Guoxing replied.
"Even so...... Let's tell the truth, this governor came to Jinyiwei to borrow someone today, and there is an important case at hand, and there is a shortage of manpower, so he needs to transfer someone from Jinyiwei."
Most of the staff in Dongchang are from Jinyiwei, and they have the right to transfer Jinyiwei's people, so Chang Yu said that Wang Guoxing and Li Ruogui were not surprised at all, and said together, just please.
However, Chang Yu is not a pawn this time, but a big guy who can calm the scene, has full experience in handling cases, and is loyal to the royal family! That's definitely the two in front of you!
"There is a case in Shanxi, and the people from Dongchang are handling it, and at this time there is a group of profiteers in Zhangjiakou who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country...... So please also ask the two who have the time to assist one or two" Half a cup of tea kung fu Chang Yu said eloquently, and the faces of the two changed greatly.
"Willing to go," the two immediately stated.
"Only one person is enough," Chang Yu nodded in his heart, and then pointed at Wang Guoxing: "Then there will be the commander of King Lao."
"Let's prepare one or two, and you can set off before dark!"
Wang Guoxing is impatient, Chang Yu admires this kind of person who does what he says and does without delay.
While he was talking, Wu Mengming arrived in a hurry, his face was tired, his eyes were red, and he smiled when he saw Chang Yuqiang: "Father-in-law Chang, what kind of wind blew you here."
"The northwest wind of Beijing City" Chang Yu smiled and stood up.
Seeing this, Wang Guoxing and Li Ruogui knew that the two of them were going to whisper, so they took their leave and left.
"Haven't been home yet?" Seeing the two leaving, Chang Yu looked at the tired Wu Mengming and asked.
Wu Mengming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Time is tight, you have to hurry up and pry out something, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, and any wind will blow!" ”
Chang Yu smiled and poured him a cup of tea, knowing that Wu Mengming was summoned into the harem late at night to face the saint, Chongzhen not only wanted to knock on the side to verify some things from his side, but of course, let him quickly understand Wang Chengyin's case, at least finalize the confession in the fastest time and take the guilt, so as not to make trouble among the courtiers who got the news, and he also had evidence that he was not indiscriminately planting and taking people.
"Is there any progress?"
Wu Mengming took a sip of tea, looked up at Chang Yu and smiled slightly: "Qingming Zhichang Gonggong can't help but be scrutinized, not to mention that Wang Chengyin, the general soldier of one side, has already made some confessions at this time, and he is only waiting for the Xuanfu to get physical evidence, and it is very widely implicated......"
Chang Yu sighed: "Widely implicated? It seems that you have pried from the line of corruption! ”
Wu Mengming nodded slightly, but saw Chang Yu's expression was different, and stared at him as if smiling: "Factory father, this is ...... What's wrong? ”
Chang Yu walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and put his face close to Hehe and sneered: "Lord Wu, what do you mean by the sentence just now that Qingming can't stand up to scrutiny like me?" Hint, or knock? Is that what the emperor meant? Or did you sell me? ”
Wu Mengming couldn't help but stand up with a stir: "Factory Supervisor...... Thinking too much, the lowly position just said casually, offended, offended" said and looked around, and said in a low voice: "The lowly position and you are grasshoppers on the same rope, and the lowly position is that the sky is bold and does not dare to sell you, isn't that equivalent to putting your head under the knife?" ”
"Hmph, it's good that you know, we have a lot of accounts from you!" Chang Yu sneered and rolled his eyes, Wu Mengming hurriedly whispered something better, it was nothing more than the question and answer when Chongzhen summoned him to the palace last night, as Chang Yu expected, it was mostly to verify what he said, fortunately, the two had already talked to each other all the way, and they could handle it easily.
In fact, Chang Yu did not do something unforgivable behind Chongzhen's back, but only concealed the true amount of some silver taels, as for why he concealed it, Wu Mengming thought it was greedy, and he was full of private pockets, and it was also in his arms. In fact, Chang Yu couldn't even tell himself, but he always felt that he would keep some in his hands and use them in the future.
