The power of the eunuchs should not be underestimated, they are the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, the most trusted servants of the emperor, and sometimes, because of their rebellious words, they can even affect the fate of a vassal king.

But even so, these princes were reluctant to befriend eunuchs, firstly, because of their bad reputation, and secondly, they were afraid that these eunuchs were appointed by the emperor and deliberately approached them, thus exposing their ambitions.

Originally, King Qi could be said to be the most promising candidate for the crown prince among all the princes, and most of the courtiers supported King Qi either explicitly or covertly. Even some border army generals were interested in taking refuge in his disciples, and the King of Qi also recruited many masters of Qianniuwei through Liu Han, and he once thought that Qianniuwei, one of the famous intelligence agencies in Dachu, was completely at his mercy.

However, all of this came to naught because of that incident.

King Qi fell out of favor, and the courtiers who had been in close contact with him couldn't avoid him when they saw him, and most of those literati admired Cai's family.

As a result, Cai's family also alienated him because of Pei Wen's relationship.

The king of Qi cherished his reputation and was reluctant to make friends with the eunuchs, because he wanted to better win over the courtiers and win over those literati to work for him, and these people would immediately alienate him once they knew that he was in contact with the eunuchs.

The struggle between the eunuchs and the literati has continued since the beginning of the dynasty.

But literati are literati after all, even if Cai is an emperor, he is helpless against the ten permanent servants. Nowadays, it is the relatives who are fighting with the eunuchs, and even the ones who are fighting against the court.

But...... Uncle Dong Guo, who now holds military power, is the uncle of Yang Yi, the king of Qin. Yang Yi has the support of his relatives, and his mother is deeply favored by the emperor, during the period when the king of Qi is closed, Yang Yi secretly attracts many border army generals, with the support of Uncle Dong and these generals, Yang Yi will not take him seriously.

Since these courtiers are intent on alienating themselves, why not join forces with the Ten Permanent Servants? King Qi's somewhat crazy eyes gradually regained his calm, he gently dusted off the ashes on his brocade robe, and slowly followed the footsteps of the chamberlain.

The weather after the year was a bit bleak, and the oppressive cold wind quietly blew on everyone's cheeks, and the imperial city was not as calm as it seemed.

The storm is coming.

A luxurious carriage drove on the official road of the imperial city, dozens of knights guarded left and right, the curtain embroidered with purple dragon brocade was blown by the wind, a handsome man was half-leaning and half-sitting under the service of two maids, and there was even a table in the wide carriage, on which were placed fine pastries and grapes that were rarely seen in the homes of the great Chu magnates.

Opposite the man sat a delicate-looking woman, she had an outstanding temperament, and at the moment she was delicately peeling the grape skin for the man.

The woman saw that the man was absentmindedly leaning on a maid, and she didn't feel good in her heart, but she just said lightly: "That man is just a nerd with no talent and no virtue, why does His Highness value him so much?" ”

That man was Yang Yi, when he heard the words at this moment, he came back to his senses, he sat up straight, pushed away the maid beside him, and said in a mocking tone: "This person is still very talented, can ordinary scholars make everyone Cai value him so much?" The poem he chanted in the restaurant, Cai everyone is full of praise to this day, and even faintly pushes him as the first genius in Jiangnan. ”

The glamorous woman didn't believe it, peeled a grape and handed it to Yang Yi, and said casually: "After only one song, Cai everyone wants to promote him as the number one talent in Jiangnan, isn't it too ridiculous?" ”

Yang Yi said vaguely while chewing grapes: "Everyone Cai just praised him for his literary style, saying that even if the famous talents in Jiangnan may not be able to make this poem, those who want to please and flatter the Cai family will naturally not let go of this opportunity, so the name of the first talent in Jiangnan has been pushed to him so inexplicably. ”

The woman nodded and said no more.

Yang Yi saw her disapproving expression, and ignored her, he knew his new concubine very well, Bing Xue was smart but arrogant.

"Zhuang Shen, what is the situation with Wang Huan." When Yang Yi mentioned Wang Huan, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and the woman sitting opposite him rarely saw Yang Yi's appearance, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The black-clothed man driving the carriage smiled bitterly, "According to the news from the shadow, Wang Huan of Nahe Prefecture saw Su Yi in Fuxing Building, and then he specially rushed to the tea stall to meet that kid, and the two talked for a long time in the tea stall, and then Wang Huan entered the imperial city, and he was also eager to invite His Royal Highness, and he didn't want to be so eager as before." ”

"Oh? What did they say that day? Yang Yi couldn't see joy or anger on his face, but the more this happened, the more the two maids beside him didn't dare to approach him, they followed King Qin for some time, knowing that Yang Yi was already extremely angry at this time.

The man in black replied cautiously: "The shadow has been following Wang Huan that day, and he also sent someone to get rid of King Qi's dead soldiers. He recounted the words of the shadow in 1510, including the conversation between Su Yi and Wang Huan in the tea stall.

Yang Yi listened to the words coming from outside the carriage, and his eyes were cold.

Then he took a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, tasted it, and lay lazily in the maid's arms, laughing casually.

This Su Yi is really interesting, building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king, the idea is good, but Wang Huan, do you have the life to live until that time?

The carriage was ticking in the imperial city, but the voice coming from the car was colder than the cold wind in this winter, "Find out Su Yi for me." ”

The construction of Peach Blossom Village is in full swing, Qin Yu has trained several blacksmith apprentices, compared to Yan Qilai, he is much more peaceful. With these apprentices, plus the blacksmith captured by Qingyun Village, the badly worn weapons of the cottage can finally be repaired on a large scale.

Su Yi also began to instruct Qin Yu to make horseshoes and stirrups, at first Qin Yu was not impressed, and then the more he listened, the more surprised he became, and finally he simply polished a pair of stirrups directly according to the drawings and took them to test with Su Yi.

The results of the experiment were self-evident, and with stirrups, cavalrymen were better able to draw their bows and shoot arrows on their horses.

An archery master like He Kui can surely hit the heart of eight out of ten arrows within a hundred paces, but let him gallop on horseback while holding his bow and shoot arrows, his head will drop a lot.

Riding archery, need to use the legs to firmly clamp the horse, free both hands to hold the bow and shoot arrows, with the bump of the horse, the archer's sight is constantly moving, so not only need to have superb archery skills, the requirements for riding are also very strict, long-distance march, the shooter may fall off the horse due to exhaustion of physical strength.

"My lord." Liu Shisan, who was on the side, saw Qin Yu's face with joy, and said a little puzzled: "What role can such a strange pair of harness play?" ”

Unlike him, Scar and Qian Leopard lowered their heads and pondered.

Su Yi smiled and asked Liu Shisan, "Brother Liu, can you shoot arrows on a horse while galloping?" ”
