Chapter 62: Dark War
Ye Xun didn't know what happened at the gate of the city after he left, so Yang Tongzhi sent him to the gate of the palace and left.
The news of Ye Xun's arrival in Beijing had already been sent to the palace, and waiting at the palace gate at this moment was a little eunuch who was the master of ceremonies.
When Liang Zhen was about to take people out of the city, Ye Xun was following the little eunuch's butt and heading towards the celebrant eunuch.
It was Emperor Wanli who was anxious to see Ye Xun, but in order to hold Ye Xun, the freshly baked eunuch in Liaodong, Cui Wensheng planned to beat Ye Xun first, so that Ye Xun knew how he came to be the boss in the future and who he wanted to be the boss in the future.
Ye Xun is a time-traveler, and the fear of imperial power in his heart is far less than that of people of this era, but when he is in the majestic and solemn palace, that kind of awe from the bottom of his heart still arises spontaneously.
The towering palace, the carved railings of white marble, and all kinds of vivid mythical beasts make people feel like they are in a mythical world.
The palace building is a masterpiece of the world, and only those who stand at the highest point of power deserve it.
Walking in the wide square of the palace, Ye Xun felt like an ant walking busily, so small and so involuntarily.
Cui Wensheng was not the only one who knew that Ye Xun had entered the palace, Sun Lun of the Imperial Horse Eunuch watched the little eunuch take Ye Xun towards the direction of the celebrant eunuch, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help flashing a cold smile, and then turned around and disappeared behind the palace wall.
Ye Xun entered the palace for the first time, and he didn't know that the little eunuch in front of him was going to take him there, but in his impression, the emperor should be in the Qianqing Palace, and Ye Xun had visited the Forbidden City in later generations, so he soon found that the direction was wrong.
took a step forward, waved his sleeves lightly, and a piece of silver weighing ten taels was stuffed into the little eunuch's hand without a trace.
He said in a low voice: "Dare to ask this father-in-law, where does Your Majesty want to see me?" ”
If there is no silver to open the way, the little eunuch will definitely not take care of Ye Xun, and now seeing Ye Xun so upright, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Grandpa Ye don't worry, Your Majesty doesn't have time to see you now, it is Grandpa Cui who wants you to go to see him first, and then Grandpa Cui will take you to see Your Majesty."
After listening to the words of the little eunuch, Ye Xun suddenly understood that this Cui Wensheng probably wanted to establish his authority in front of him, and at the same time put his mark on himself.
Ye Xun vaguely remembered that the fate of this Cui Wensheng did not seem to be good, seeing that Wanli had no more days to live, if he got too close to this Cui Wensheng, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be implicated in the future.
Thinking of this, Ye Xun suddenly stopped, and said loudly: "This little father-in-law, our family is in a hurry to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty, if Father-in-law Cui has something, you might as well wait for Your Majesty to meet our family."
"Y-What did you say?"
The little eunuch is a little stupid, Grandpa Cui is the boss of the ceremonial eunuch, the acquiesced minister of the imperial court, in his memory, Grandpa Cui is looking for someone to ask, and no one has rushed to go without a fart, what's going on with this Ye Xun? Do you think that if you have made some contributions in Liaodong, you can not take Cui Gonggong in your eyes?
Seeing that the little eunuch didn't understand, Ye Xun said again: "Please ask the little father-in-law to reply to Grandpa Cui, and then go to visit him after our family meets His Majesty."
The little eunuch finally understood that Ye Xun was not joking, and looked Ye Xun up and down a few times like a monster, and suddenly smiled coldly: "Since this is the case, then you can wait here!" Hum! I don't know how to lift."
After speaking, the little eunuch turned around and left, but the silver that Ye Xun gave him automatically forgot about it.
Ye Xun was also dumbfounded, how could this kid say that he would just leave? Is that? Although he had been to the Forbidden City in his previous life, this was in the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and he knew that the emperor was in that palace? Besides, even if you know, you won't see it without guidance!
This little bastard, took Lao Tzu's silver, turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and waited for Lao Tzu to see you again.
After looking forward to it for a while, he didn't see anyone to deal with him, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, secretly regretting that it was better to go to see the dead eunuch first, isn't this an enemy for himself in the palace?
Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a sudden sound of slight footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a thin eunuch about forty walking over with a smile.
"This must be the Ye Gonggong that His Majesty often remembers, he is really a hero and a young man, it is better to meet than to be famous!"
Before the person arrived, a bunch of compliments were handed over first.
Ye Xun knew that this person was definitely not from the celebrant and was in the wrong direction, but how could he know himself?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "My father-in-law has won the award, it is Ye Xun below, dare to ask my father-in-law?" ”
"Huh! The miscellaneous family is just a few years old for you, if you don't dislike it in the future, you might as well call the miscellaneous family a big brother"
The middle-aged eunuch patted Ye Xun's shoulder with some familiarity, and then as if he remembered something, patted his head and continued: "Look at my memory, seeing such a heroic figure as Brother Ye, I was so happy for a while that I forgot all the business, Brother Ye should go with the miscellaneous family, Your Majesty has already sent a decree to invite Brother Ye to meet you."
Ye Xun became more and more confused the more he listened, did the eunuch also call himself a brother and a brother these days?
Cautiously asked, "Father-in-law said that His Majesty wants to see me?" ”
The middle-aged eunuch seemed to remember something, and said: "Brother Ye doesn't need to worry, my brother's surname is Sun Minglun, trusted by His Majesty, and now he is in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Your Majesty just heard that Brother Ye was called by Gonggong Cui, and he was very unhappy, so he wanted to order someone to come to see his brother, it was my brother who wanted to see what Brother Ye of the mighty Liaodong was, so he volunteered to come, okay, come with my brother, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time."
Ye Xun's brain turned quickly, and he immediately understood that this Sun Lun was definitely not as simple as befriending himself, the great eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, that was also the master who stomped his feet and trembled in the palace, under normal circumstances, how could such a trivial matter as a decree work his great master? If your guess is correct, this guy is giving Cui Wensheng eye medicine.
It's okay, it just so happens that he has no foundation in the palace, although he has not heard his name in later generations, but he can mix in the position of the boss of the imperial horse supervisor, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed down again and said, "Brother Sun is too polite, my brother brought some sustenances from Liaodong, and I will send them to my eldest brother when I turn around."
Listening to Ye Xun's words, Sun Lun's eyes were about to crack into a slit, and he said in his heart that this kid is really good.
At the moment, the two vain guys touted each other and walked towards the Qianqing Palace, and this time the direction was finally right.
Emperor Wanli is really angry, he has publicly said more than once before that after Ye Xun arrives, he must come to see him immediately, and now it is good, Ye Xun arrived, but was robbed by Cui Wensheng halfway, what does this dead eunuch want to do?
Of course, it was Sun Lun who stabbed this matter to Wanli, this guy has been worried about the position of the celebrant for a day or two, but Cui Wensheng has Zheng Guifei behind him, and he can't do it for a while.
But since Ye Xun was born, Sun Lun obviously felt that the emperor had become more and more dissatisfied with Cui Wensheng.
In other words, the opportunity that he Sun Lun has been waiting for is finally coming, and his eunuch Sun is not in the mood to do it, and occasionally coming to the well is one of his favorite things to do.
