Chapter 200: Between movement and quiet, Chen Cang secretly crossed
Although they had no idea where to start, the courtiers did not relax their vigilance, and when they could not spy on them, they changed their tactics and changed spying into surveillance.
It is good to say in the Forbidden City that although Wang Yue is a eunuch, he is also a sensible person, and he is quite cooperative with the foreign courts, even if he cannot enter the well-protected Qianqing Palace, he can always get some news from the side.
What cleared up the courtiers' doubts about Zhengde was the news sent by Wang Yue: the reason why Zhengde was able to endure the surname was because Xie Hong had come up with a new trick that allowed him to play indoors, and he had a lot of fun.
Although the description of the details of this news is vague, and it does not explain what kind of new fancy it is, which can make Zhengde indulge for more than half a month and not get tired of it, but it finally slightly alleviates the worries in the hearts of the courtiers: the emperor is still the emperor, he is normal, at least the conspiracy should not be launched from the palace.
So, if there is a conspiracy, it should be in Nanzhen Fusi, launched by that riddler, right?
Therefore, everyone's eyes turned to Nanzhen Fuji. As a result, this long-abandoned and almost forgotten place suddenly became the focus of the capital and even the world.
Hedgehog tortoise, move and stillness!
Xie Hong's hedgehog is different from the one in the palace, there is a lot of movement on his side, and there is no intention to avoid people's eyes at all, in fact, it is impossible to keep it secret, because he is building a lot of construction!
Although there is martial law around Nanzhen Fusi, such a big movement will be noticed from a few miles away, which makes the spies extremely excited.
They have long reached a consensus that Nanzhen Fusi is a Shura field, which is much more terrifying than Beizhen Fusi and Dongchang, which is verified by the blood and miserable howls of many predecessors!
I didn't dare to get closer, so that while I couldn't get the information, the owner or the adults behind me kept urging, and the tone and attitude were getting more and more severe, and the spies were all miserable.
It's easy to take a step forward, but in that case, your life will be at dusk; It's not difficult to take a step back, but if you go back, you have to face a bleak life. Everyone is regretting it, why did they choose such a promising career as a spy? If there is another chance to choose, we must be fans! And only go to Nanzhen Fusi...... So, when there was finally movement inside the Yamen of Nanzhen Fusi, and it was so big that they didn't need to get close to see the general situation, all the spies were moved to tears, and they couldn't help themselves for a long time.
The sad day is finally over, everyone is finally looking forward to the end, no wonder that Xie Hong is called the first courtier, if you don't have this ability to understand people's hearts, how can you serve the emperor very satisfied?
In this era, the layout of the capital is neat, in front of the Chengtian Gate is a wide imperial road, and there are thousands of corridors on both sides of the ridge of the Lianlutong, forming a "T" shaped square. Outside the palace walls on both sides of the square, the main official offices of the central political axe are arranged symmetrically according to their important surnames.
Nanzhen Fusi is a yamen that is almost abandoned, so the location is naturally on the edge. However, there are also pros and cons to this matter, at least Xie Hong is very satisfied, because the area of this yamen is not small, the Forbidden City is only six miles square, and Nanzhen Fusi is also two miles square, at least in the imperial city, it is the largest yamen.
In such a large place, and you can't get too close, this range is even larger. However, the spies sent out from all sides were far away, densely surrounding Nanzhen Fusi.
In the surrounding area, whether it is a yamen or a dwelling, the roof and wall head have become sought-after places.
The spies sent by the adults in the court were okay, and even the family members who came out of the eunuch's house were still very particular, and they generally negotiated or paid, and finally occupied a place on the roof.
But Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans are sneaky, and these guys don't discuss with their masters, whether it's the wall or the roof, just go up and talk about it.
These fans are professional, and their actions are also very secretive. If you meet the master's ancient surname, it is okay, and you may not find out; But those fine people are unlucky, whoever finds a black shadow shaking on the wall and roof in the middle of the night, and it is said that it has been like this for many consecutive years, at least it will be made to a mental breakdown, even if it is directly paralyzed, there are also many people.
The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Shuntian Mansion were much more straightforward, shaking the seals in their hands and directly requisitioning. This behavior is quite similar to Xie Hong, except that what they hold is a seal, not a holy decree.
As a result, Nanzhen Fuji, who had been shrouded in fog in the early stage, finally revealed a trace of his true face to the outside world, and all kinds of information spread everywhere like snowflakes, and the adults who got the report were also happy.
Nanzhen Fusi was really a big construction, and many houses inside were demolished, and it was very efficient, and new buildings were soon being built in the demolished places. In addition, there are sharp-eyed spies who can clearly see that one side of the building is being demolished, and the other side is actually paving the road.
The courtiers were relieved that the adults didn't understand architecture, but they didn't think it was a big deal. If it's just building something, then there must be no big conspiracy.
At worst, it is just to build a garden for the emperor to play. That's nothing, no matter how good this garden is, as long as everyone blocks the palace gate and doesn't let the emperor out of the palace, they don't worry that he will lose his mind.
Moreover, the information that came out of the palace said that the money used to build the construction was not used from the inner treasury. In other words, this silver is still spent on Xie Hong's own money, so there is no need to worry.
Wouldn't it be funny that when the courtier built the garden, it turned out that the emperor couldn't get out of the palace, and in the end he spent the money in vain? When the time comes, I must go and see his expression, and I can let out the evil anger in my chest.
Everyone was ashamed in their hearts, they were originally disciples of saints, and they had been in the sea for a long time, why were they frightened by the nonsense of the two teenagers? Now it seems that Xie Hong's behavior outside is just a pampered and coquettish, barbarian surname; And the emperor is a plaything and is addicted to some kind of game.
Next, everyone just needs to do a good job of preventing addiction. It's just that after thinking about it, everyone feels that there seems to be no need to do this, the emperor is obsessed, but he has the image of a holy monarch, why not let him indulge first?
As for the courtier outside, there is no need to be in a hurry, and when the emperor finally understands the way to be a king, that is, when he confers the head. Thinking like this, the courtiers also diverted their attention, how many important things do the court have to do, how can they have time to take care of these idle things?
You know, the household department has saved more than one million taels of silver, this is the right thing, all gentlemen are particular about people, and the silver is also divided into the first to come, at this time, do not compete for the first, and wait for when?
As a result, the bigwigs of various ministries and courtyards flocked to the threshold of the household department, and there was no time to take care of other things, even if Xie Hong demolished the old wall and built a new taller and stronger one, no one paid attention to it.
Everyone has prejudices in their hearts, thinking that Xie Hong is building a garden and preparing to coax Zhengde to play. Since it is the emperor's garden, the high point of the wall is nothing, so why bother to stop it now? If the courtiers reach a consensus and force the palace together, it is not that they can't deal with the holy decree, but why bother to do such a big thing just for the sake of the nonsense of the two teenagers?
Besides, although that courtier is shameless, despicable, and indecent, and his character is extremely inferior, the sage has already said: The more you learn such a thing as Qiyin skills, the more you deviate from the way of the sage, and the worse your character will naturally be.
Xie Hong is the best example, corresponding to his inferior character, but his craftsmanship can be called miraculous, after this garden is repaired, it must not be bad.
The emperor said that he had all the opportunities and set an example for the world, so naturally he couldn't go out of the palace to play, and after the emperor understood the way of the holy monarch and killed the annihilator, this garden would naturally be nationalized, and then ...... Hehe, don't you adults also have a good place for leisure and entertainment?
The new wall of Nanzhen Fuji is very high, not to mention the roof in the near distance, and even on the wall in the distance, the view will be obscured. As a result, the place was shrouded in fog again, but no one reacted to it.
Now, with the shift of the attention of the adults, the spies outside have been sparsely scattered, and even if there are a few who are still there, they are not very concerned because of the arbitrariness of their own adults' orders.
Only those few people in Liu Shangshu's Mansion in the Ministry of War are more pitiful, and I don't know if Lord Liu is too cautious, he has been urging him from time to time, but it is useless to urge, it just makes those people in Liu's Mansion more pitiful, the new parapet wall is three feet high, who can fly over the wall?
No one paid attention to Xie Hong's big movements, and the courtiers naturally paid less attention to the palace, even if it was Wang Yue, who was the closest, their attention was only on what game Zhengde was playing, not anything else.
For Wang Yue, this game is not trivial, it can make the emperor stay in the Qianqing Palace for nearly a month, what a powerful game!
You know, unlike treating people, the emperor has always liked the new and hated the old the most in things like playing games, even if he used to be his favorite horse riding and archery, he never played for a month, every day was uninterrupted, and then he still maintained a high level of interest.
This kind of game attracts the emperor, and it can be played indoors, isn't it...... Wang Yue had a guess in his heart, the emperor was young, but he hadn't gotten married yet, wasn't that the courtier who secretly sent a woman into the palace, which made the emperor happy?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, Xie Hong's big black carriage had already been registered in the palace. Before this mutation, wasn't that weird carriage just entering the palace once? It must have been sent in at that time!
Thinking that he had guessed the truth, Wang Yue was greatly excited, and immediately ordered to go down, so that all the eyeliners who were staring at the movements of the Qianqing Palace should pay attention, and they must thoroughly investigate: whether there are any women in the Qianqing Palace, and how many there are.
This is a big crime, if you get the evidence, as long as you report it to the Queen Mother, then the Eight Tigers and Xie Hong who participated in this matter will be dead, even the emperor can't protect them!
The attention in the palace was all in the Qianqing Palace, and only Liu Daxia was left staring at Xie Hong outside the palace.
Therefore, no one noticed that since these days, the eight tigers around Zhengde have become seven, one fat man is missing, and several little eunuchs who are often around the fat man are also gone.
No one noticed that on Qianmen Street, there was a store that had a good business, but it was also closed for renovation at this time, and the owner was also a fat man, and, strangely, this fat man was not young, but he was still white and chubby......
