Yang Xiaoyu rode back to the mansion and hurriedly asked people to find a wooden man made by the carpenter emperor!
These wooden figures are finely crafted and carved vividly, which shows the hard work of the carpenter emperor on this.
These dozen wooden people take it out and sell it, and it is estimated that one of them is worth the same amount of money, but if you tell the world that this is a wooden person made by the emperor, the price will increase tens of thousands of times, and a wooden person can be sold for a thousand taels of silver.
Yang Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better not to sell it, after all, he was alone, and he was very easy to be suppressed by the Donglin Party if he sold the emperor's wooden people for money.
Besides, he is not short of silver, and the silver taels copied from the Ling family have not been touched until now, and when the Yangzhou Thousand Households took office, there were still tens of thousands of taels of silver for filial piety in the local area, which was enough for him to squander for a while.
"Young Master, Young Madam sent someone to invite you to dinner!" Chen Yingren pushed open the door, looked at his young master fiddling with the wooden man, and arched his hand.
Yang Xiaoyu wanted to go back to the middle courtyard to have dinner with Shen Mengxin, but his wife was graceful and graceful, looking like a fairy, he wanted to see it. Burning on fire, it is difficult to hold oneself.
If his body was the same as before, and there was such a beautiful wife in the house, how could he not go and admire it.
He fixed his mind, pretended not to care, and said, "You let the subordinate return to Mrs., the official will go to the house for a while to lie down, and he will not come back tonight!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Yingren sighed and turned to go out.
The night is dark and the cold wind is blowing!
Yang Xiaoyu took advantage of the night to quietly walk out of the mansion and go to Fang Weize's mansion.
……
Two days of dawn!
Yang Xiaoyu practiced swordsmanship for a while. Bidding farewell to the soft and weak Fang Weize, he rode his horse to the palace gate.
At this time, Zhou Heguang led people to escort Fang Weiyi's carriage and waited on the side.
Yang Xiaoyu strode into the palace with the silver ticket in his arms, came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace, and made a report.
Not a little time. The little eunuch let him in.
Entering the main hall, Yang Xiaoyu stared at it, Ke Yinyue was feeding the carpenter emperor in front of the dragon couch, and hurriedly saluted: "The minister has seen the emperor and Mrs. Fengsheng!" ”
The carpenter emperor was eating the food, and it was inconvenient to answer, Ke Yinyue put down the food, turned to Yang Xiaoyu and smiled charmingly: "Lord Yang is here, please get up!" ”
Yang Xiaoyu stood up and took a few steps forward, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty." The minister took out your wooden man and sold it, and this is a silver ticket of 12,000! As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and presented them with both hands.
The little eunuch on the side hurriedly took the silver ticket and handed it to the carpenter emperor who was lying on the dragon couch.
"Yang Aiqing, you are so smart, when I make some good things, you will still take them out and sell them, and I will share the money I earn with you!" The Carpenter Emperor took the silver ticket. Laughed happily.
"It is right for the minister to serve the emperor, how can he take the emperor's silver taels!" Yang Xiaoyu pretended to be loyal.
"Yang Aiqing. This matter is so decided, when I am cured, I will immediately make a pair of south city gates, and you will take them out and sell them! The carpenter emperor counted the silver tickets in his hand and said happily.
"What disease does the emperor have?" Yang Xiaoyu asked with a wink.
"The emperor occasionally felt a cold yesterday, and his whole body was sore!" Ke Yinyue sat on the edge of the dragon couch and replied with a chuckle.
Yang Xiaoyu thought to himself that it must be the carpenter emperor who did that on the top of the mountain and caught a cold. Otherwise, how could a big living person get sick casually.
Since the carpenter emperor is sick, the matter of going out to visit the scenery today is in vain.
"Your Majesty, you must raise the dragon body, it will be the Shangyuan Festival in two days. At that time, the lanterns in the capital are hung high, the drums are juggling endlessly, and the emperor can go to the noon gate to enjoy the lanterns and see the scenery! Yang Xiaoyu's heart moved, and it was another bad idea.
Shangyuan Festival is a major festival in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperors of all dynasties have gone to the city gate to enjoy the lanterns!
The carpenter little emperor has succeeded to the throne for more than a year, and he has been restrained by the Donglin Party everywhere, not to mention enjoying the lanterns, even if he goes out of the palace to see the scenery, he must also be approved by the auxiliary ministers.
At this time, when he heard the lanterns that could be seen on the Yuan Festival, the carpenter little emperor turned over with a carp, sat up and exclaimed, "I almost forgot about this!" ”
"Yang Aiqing, I will leave the lantern matter to you to prepare, and I must do it to my satisfaction!" The carpenter little emperor said urgently.
"Your Majesty, the matter of lanterns has always been handled by the Ministry of Rites, and the ministers dare not trespass!" Yang Xiaoyu thought that a lantern would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, what would he do to prepare it, and immediately excused himself.
As soon as the carpenter emperor heard this, his newly ignited interest suddenly diminished, and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all listened to the words of Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, and Gao Panlong.
"Yang Aiqing, I'm resting, you and the nurse should go down!" When the carpenter emperor thought of the affairs of the court, he was not interested, and waved his hand impatiently to let the two go down.
"Your Majesty, if you want to see the lantern festival, the minister can ask the merchant to give out the silver, and the Beizhen Fusi will maintain order, without spending the silver of the imperial court, the emperor and the hundred officials can also enjoy the lanterns and scenery above the noon gate!" Yang Xiaoyu smiled and bowed.
"Merchants are not fools, why do they give me money to see the lanterns?" The carpenter little emperor asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, the merchants are treacherous and cunning, they have earned the people's silver, and it is incumbent on them to take out a little silver to hold a lantern festival, besides, they are all your people, and it is right to do your filial piety!" Yang Xiaoyu reported cheekily.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you!" The carpenter emperor thought for a moment, slept on the dragon couch and waved.
"Obey the order!" Yang Xiaoyu bowed.
The guest Yinyue in front of the bed covered the carpenter emperor with a quilt, walked down gently with small steps, and threw a wink at Yang Xiaoyu, and the two walked out of the Qianqing Palace tacitly.
The carpenter emperor was really good to Ke Yinyue, and lived in a luxurious palace for Ke Yinyue, with hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids to serve, and he traveled in a luxury car.
"Lord Yang, Mrs. Ben has something to ask you, and you should go back to the palace with Mrs. Ben!" Mrs. Fengsheng Ke Yinyue blinked, walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and giggled.
"The subordinate obeys!" Yang Xiaoyu bent down and bowed, making a good appearance.
With the sound of the palace maid, the sedan chair was raised. Ke Yinyue got into the sedan chair, and the front and rear sedan chair drivers carried the sedan chair and walked up, accompanied by the maid eunuch behind.
Yang Xiaoyu followed behind Ke Yinyue's sedan chair and secretly scolded the demon woman for her big pomp.
All the way to Mrs. Fengsheng's bedroom, Ke Yinyue waved her hand to rebuke the palace maid and eunuch, and smiled at Yang Xiaoyu: "Lord Yang." Please come in and speak! ”
Yang Xiaoyu knew that the demon woman had many eyes and ears in the palace, and he was not afraid that others would leak this matter, so he was not pretentious, he went directly into the apse and asked, "The emperor is sick, how can you give him meat?" ”
"The emperor's illness is not the wind and cold, but the body and bones seem to be strong, but in fact, they are already void yang, and what the concubine gives the emperor is what replenishes yang!" Ke Yinyue poured a cup of tea for Yang Xiaoyu. Explained with a smile.
"What yang-replenishing thing?" Yang Xiaoyu took a sip of tea and asked.
"The outer kidney of a horse!" Ke Yinyue replied with a smile.
Yang Xiaoyu scoffed, although the horse's outer kidney can replenish yang, but it is not suitable to eat more, long-term consumption of this thing, yang energy gathers in the lower abdomen, if there is no long-lasting male wind catharsis, sooner or later the body will swell and die. However, he didn't say it.
"I heard that you sent someone to beat Wei Zhongxian half to death. There's only one breath left! Yang Xiaoyu asked indifferently.
"That eunuch, the concubine who was secretly harmed almost couldn't return to the palace, if the concubine hadn't worried about the emperor, he would have been beaten to death!" Ke Yinyue said with a grim face.
"He has been a eunuch for more than half a year, and there are still some loyal people under him, you have to be careful that these people join forces to harm you!" Yang Xiaoyu persuaded with a kind face.
"Lord Yang can rest assured. Most of the celebrants are concubines, in the past, the concubines promoted Wei Zhongxian, so they dared to have a relationship with Wei Zhongxian, and now the concubines hate Wei Zhongxian, how many dare they have to deal with Wei Zhongxian again? Ke Yinyue said indifferently.
Yang Xiaoyu thought calmly for a while. Wei Zhongxian was killed by him and it was difficult to turn over, and someone in the inner court had to stand up and fight with the Donglin Party, otherwise, for a long time, the Donglin Party would completely control the government, and then everyone in Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, and even the Inner Court would be wiped out by them.
"Madam, the Donglin officials have been planning to drive you out of the palace recently, you have to prepare in advance, otherwise, it will be difficult for the official to help you at that time!" Yang Xiaoyu's face changed, and he said worriedly.
Ke Yinyue was shocked when she heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Lord Yang, how should the concubine be prepared?" ”
"There are tens of thousands of eunuchs and maids in the palace, you have to buy them with gold and silver, so that they can serve you willingly, and at the same time, you have to promote your cronies and let them enter the celebrant eunuchs, so that you can use them to resist the officials of the DPRK and China, and this official will unite other officials outside the court to fight against the Donglin officials, so that you can enjoy wealth and prosperity in the palace forever!" Yang Xiaoyu's face was dark, and he said in a low voice.
"The eunuch Wang Tiqian, who was in charge of the seal of the eunuch, was able to sit in front of the eunuch of the eunuch of the concubine's palm seal, he was weak and difficult to become a big weapon, after Wei Zhongxian lost power, he ran to make amends for the concubine, the eunuch Li Yongzhen, who was the little eunuch in the clerical room, was able to rise on the fifth day of January, since Wei Zhongxian lost power, he came to the concubine all day long, and the head of the imperial horse supervisor Tu Wenfu, this person came from the concubine's body, he has always been the concubine's words!"
Yang Xiaoyu frowned slightly after listening to Ke Yinyue's words, the eunuch Wang Tiqian, the eunuch in charge of the celebrant seal, was still dominated by Wei Zhongxian last year, it can be seen that this person understands the situation, and now that Wei Zhongxian has fallen, it is inevitable that he will flatter Ke Yinyue.
As for this Li Yongzhen, this person is not a guest of Yinyue, so he has to be careful in the future.
Other people have not yet reached the high position of celebrant and supervisor, so they have little use value.
Yang Xiaoyu thought for a while, and then said: "You must always be careful that Li Yongzhen and Wang Tiqian join forces to deal with you, if there is a chance, Li Yongzhen will be sent to Nanhaizi to be a pure army, and the master of ceremonies must be in your hands."
