Some people act, and some people watch the play.

The Nandu Temple, which is separated by a wall from the Wenweng stone room, is a temple that worships the gods of the rivers and rivers of Shudi.

This ancient temple has a longer history than the feudal state of Sichuan. On the tall red wall, the majestic palace rises layer by layer, but under the reflection of the morning sun, it still inevitably reveals a bit of depression and dilapidation.

Outside the north wall of the Nandu Temple, there is a large pool. Because the temple is named, it is called Nandu Temple Pool. Rockeries are piled up inside and outside the pool, symbolizing the mountains and lakes of Shudi. Around the Nandu temple pool, it is a lively place with many wine shops, and a romantic place where tens of thousands of gold are sold every day.

Since it is a temple, it must be official property. The Nandu Temple is originally in the Nandu Temple, and it is naturally also an official property.

Because of the good location and beautiful scenery of the Nandu Temple Pool, the Chengdu Prefecture and County Government started to use their crooked brains to separate the pool from the Nandu Temple and turn it into a wine shop and tea shop around it to collect rent.

The government has a big head, but some people have a bigger head.

The good days of the Chengdu Prefecture and county government did not last long. In the 28th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken that his son Zhu Chun had no money to spend, so he specially issued an edict to reward the official rent of Nandu Temple Pond and Chengdu Mansion Wannian Pond, another scenic spot, to the Shu Mansion as the annual expenses of the Shu Mansion (Note 1).

In the years that followed, the rent of Wannian Pond was returned to the government, but the rent of Nandu Temple Pond still belonged to the Shu Palace. The Shu Wangfu also gradually evolved from simply collecting rents to exercising management rights over the area around the Nandu Temple Pond, and then took over the increasingly money-short government to manage and maintain the entire temple property.

Taking care of the temple property, collecting rent, and even sprinkling and repairing all require people.

The people sent out in the palace of the king of Shu are naturally eunuchs. But the eunuchs here are not the same as the eunuchs who guard the royal tombs.

Most of the eunuchs who guarded the royal tomb were the ones who made mistakes in the palace of the king of Shu. To meet their masters, there may only be a few days of the year to worship their ancestors.

But the errand of guarding the Nandu Temple is different, it is a fat poor who is both idle and rich. The eunuchs only had to go out once a month to collect their rent, and they could also mix some daily necessities from the merchants. As for weekdays, there are few small things in the temple, but it is very idle, so this place is like the Anle Hall outside the Bei'an Gate of Jingshi, and it has slowly become a place for the lower-level eunuchs of the Shu Wangfu to retire and die.

The lower-level eunuchs have been poor in the palace of the king of Shu for most of their lives, and when they are old, their bodies are not good, and they have no merit but a lot of hard work. They are also not like normal people, who have family children to take care of. Getting together to care for the elderly makes it easy to take care of each other.

Of course, although this is a good place, it is not a place where those high-ranking eunuchs come. Most of the upper-level eunuchs lived in their own private houses. Although they have no biological children, the eunuchs under their names are more filial than their own sons.

The Nandu Temple, which is as calm as water, is like a place where time stands still, but today is an exception.

Early in the morning, several big eunuchs from the palace came in and gathered the old people of the Nandu Temple together to greet them.

A eunuch with a veil and a conical hat on his head announced, "Grandpa Cao Sanbao Cao asked you to restrain yourself recently. Don't think that when the little master goes out to fight, you old people who are so idle that your skin is itchy will rest assured that you will eat and gamble boldly. If something happens, the prince will blame it, and whoever does it will follow the rules.

Gonggong Cao also said that there have been some changes in Chengdu recently, and you old people who are used to it don't go out. If you go out for rent collection and other things, you must register at the door. If you hear something outside, you have to report it immediately when you come back.

After these eunuchs in the palace finished conveying, they did not drink tea after speaking, ate meat and drank wine after drinking tea, and then slapped their butts and left. They left one man behind and stood guard at the gate, saying that they would immediately begin registration in and out. The rest of the people, following behind the unrecognizable leading eunuch, built a condescending platform with ladders and planks under the old locust tree by the east wall of the Nandu Temple.

At this time, the old eunuchs of the Nandu Temple had already guessed the intentions of these mysterious people.

Between the platform and the Wen Weng stone chamber, there was only a tall gray-red brick wall. After hearing that Shu started a new policy, those talented people gathered next door to shout in three or five days.

"Chengdu Mansion is going to have an accident again!"

The veteran eunuchs did not wait for the guards with swords to come and drive them away, so they silently finished making eye contact and quietly slipped away.

They understand that the farther away they are, the better.

……

On the narrow platform of the old locust tree, a young eunuch with delicate eyebrows grasped the branches, leaned over, and straightened his ears, trying to discern useful information from the noise across the wall.

"Godfather, the talents are slandering the world...... There is also Miss Luo, who said that she is the reincarnation of a thousand-year-old demon fox and is a Daji in business; IN ZHOU WEI BAOSI; In spring and autumn for Natsuhime; In Han for Feiyan Hede; In Jin for Jia Nanfeng...... They said that they would write calligraphy, painting and painting, and show the filthy deeds of the prince and Miss Luo to the world......"

"It's really non-toxic and not a scholar! The disciples of Sage Kong, how can they be so obscene! Qin Yi said softly. It seemed inadvertent, but a trace of hideousness appeared at the corner of his mouth. It's just the veil that hangs down the edge of the tapered cap that hides it all well.

At this time, the courtyard wall suddenly burst into laughter. In the midst of laughter, there is a shrill whistle that often makes when the disciples chase women on the streets of Chengdu Mansion.

Without waiting for Qin Yi to raise his head and ask, the little eunuch had already passed on the news he heard:

"A scholar suggested that a paragraph should be rewritten in Journey to the West, alluding to the prince and Miss Luo...... It's all obscene language...... Godfather, my son doesn't dare to ......"

"It doesn't matter!" Qin Yi raised his head and encouraged, "The master raised us minions to find out the news for the master!" ”

The scholar recited a pair, which seems to be the title of the chapter: Zhu Bajie's new love rewards his wife, and Miss Gao stays in spring to serve Luan Feng...... There are many more episodes to come...... It's so unbearable......"

"Damn." Qin Yi said softly.

"There are also people who want to draw a picture of the Spring Palace, and draw Zhu Bajie and Miss Gao into it...... There are also people who coax, the penis should be thick and violent, and the PIN household should be delicate; The movements should be wide open and closed, and the postures should be ecstatic......"

"The Nine Clans should be punished." Qin whispered to himself.

A cold murderous aura seeped out through the thin veil. Qin Yi turned his head to look at the person in charge of recording behind him, and ordered, "No matter what they say, we just have to write it down truthfully!" ”

"Yes!"

The little eunuch in charge of the record moved his pen like a fly, and wrote down those foul words word for word on black and white.

The news from the tree head is still coming:

"The showmen said that they would be on the streets tomorrow, no, it was changed to the day after tomorrow...... First come here to gather, invite the tablet of Sage Kong down, and then carry it to the Yamen of the Taoist to petition...... The unveiling post was written by the three talented people of Huayang, called "Shudu Chaos Public Post"...... Some people say that the officials of the Yamen who learned the Tao have all been chopped off, and they are useless...... They spoke of the feudal lords...... No, it's changed to the governor's yamen again......"

Qin Yi listened silently and frowned.

He knew that since Chen Qichi, who participated in the politics of the feudal department, returned to Chengdu and brought back the decision of the Boryeong Conference, there had been all kinds of opposition in the western part of Sichuan, with Chengdu as the center.

Landlords oppose rent reductions and forced purchases; The gentry were opposed to universal military service and exempt money. And the students on the other side of the wall were against almost everything about the New Deal. Of course, what they oppose most is the quota for school students, the change of subjects in the township examination, and the approval of students' money and food. Almost all of these new policies hit the sore spots of the students, and it is no wonder that they don't jump up and oppose them!

If the students collectively make trouble with the governor's yamen, I'm afraid things won't end well.

At present, the situation in Qiongmei is very tense, and the information reports say that there is a possibility of armed rebellion in the two states at any time. Wangzhuang and Qianzhuang in Qiongmei have been withdrawn to Chongzhou.

Originally, Chongzhou and Xinjin, a county in the prefecture, were facing Qiongmei, and it was a good place to gather troops to hold on or divide troops to attack. But Wang Lijing, the governor of Chongzhou who was the same township as Zhang Xianzhong, was very confused. Instead of publicly condemning Qiongmei, he counted the behavior of training township soldiers and opening Wangzhuang in the Shu Wangfu as disloyal and disobedient.

Song Zhensi, who was sitting in Chengdu, was worried that Wang Lijing would join forces with Xu Kongtu and Li Chuandi of Qiongmei, so he immediately mobilized two garrison battalions and three township soldier companies in Chongzhou and Xinjin Wangzhuang to carry out armed occupation of the two cities of Chongzhou and Xinjin, and detained Wang Lijing and secretly sent him to the custody of the Wangfu Trial Division.

At the same time, Chengdu, Yazhou, and Jiading mobilized four garrison battalions and deployed them in the four counties of Mingshan, Hongya, Jiajiang, and Renshou, forming a close encirclement of the two prefectures. The Lizhou soldiers stationed in Yazhou for training between Yingjing are mobilizing. The two battalions of the Second Regiment of the Protector Army and the first Shuangliu garrison battalion stationed in Songlin Mountain were backed by Pengshan County and aimed their troops directly at Meizhou City.

However, when the little master and the Shu army were fighting in northern Sichuan, was it appropriate to start fighting in the old nest in western Sichuan?

Besides, now is the busy season for farming, once the war begins, how much less grain will be harvested this year, and how many people will starve to death?

The most important thing is, does the little master approve of fighting in western Sichuan? To what extent will the disobedient gentry clean up?

Thinking of the prince Zhu Pingjian, Qin Yi, the head of the eunuch spies of the Shu Palace, immediately grasped the point.

The thoughts of the little master should be the thoughts of our minions!

Grasping the master's mind, we slaves are graceful!

Qin Yi thought, how should the little master start when he encounters these things?

By the way, let's "lure the snake out of the hole" first, and let them "roar". Wait for them to "expose themselves", and finally come to a "catch them all"!

According to the little master, that is to dig a pit and wait for them to jump on their own!

But...... Qin Yi silently suppressed the urge to make a move.

The message group is not an intelligence bureau, and can only inquire about information and cannot act on its own. This is an iron law that the master has long set.

"Dongchang", Qin Yi silently recited the word several times, and finally made up his mind:

Since you can't do it yourself, then induce them to do it first!

"Xiaoduo, they only talked about the governor's yamen, not the carrier door?" Qin Yi asked.

"A whole bunch of people are still arguing! It is estimated that there will be no result for a while," replied the little eunuch in the tree.

What's the use of just nagging Liao Tycoon? You have to go to the carrier door!

Qin Yi shook his head in his heart. He thought about it, then whispered to the people around him, and went out to signal Su Xiucai to let him in.

"Godfather, I know one of the scholars inside!" Xiao Duo on the tree suddenly said loudly: "Isn't that Master Shu's proud protégé Guo Shiyu?" He has been to the palace, and he has also looked for Mr. He, Mr. Shu and Mr. Li! ”

Note 1: "Taizu Records" records: In the year of Yihai (1395, the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu), the Wannian Pond of Chengdu Mansion and the Nandu Temple Pond were leased to the Shu Wangfu for annual use. The word "rent" here should be understood as "rent".
