Gong Huaien guarded Henan, with a transcendent status, and was on a par with the governor of Henan. The Sanya Council refers to the town guard officer, the governor plus the town guard general of the province. Even if it is the face of the third director of Henan, he may not be willing to sell it.

Although the king of Zhou was a vassal king, but in the Ming Dynasty, the face of the vassal king was no longer very valuable, even if the prefect took office, he dared not worship the vassal king. After all, the annual rice of the vassal royal clan was in the hands of the civil officials, who handed it over to the royal government, and then issued it by the royal government.

If it is true that the palace has hated the civil officials, as long as the neck is stuck on Lumi, it will be enough for the palace. From this point of view, it seems that Gong Huaien is much stronger than King Zhou. But from the position of the two, it's a different matter.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty is compared to a family, the vassal king is a member of the family, but not the head of the family. The eunuch is the house slave, the civil official is the account man, and the military general is the guardian of the family.

There is nothing wrong with the house slave being embarrassed by the tent master and the nurse, but if the house slave bullies the master's brother and clan, it becomes an evil slave and bullies the master.

One of the reasons why Jiang Bin was slashed by a thousand knives in another time and space was that when he was proud, he asked Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, to kneel down to him, which was a big taboo. He is just a courtyard, and Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, is the nobleman of the Ming Dynasty who retired with the country, that is, a friend of the master's family. The nursing home bullied friends, what did this become?

When Emperor Liu Jin was at his peak, he would not go to trouble the vassal king, also because his identity was a eunuch, and he hated civil officials for the emperor, which was considered to be in line with the wishes of the lord's family. If you have nothing to provoke the vassal king, it is to find death. No matter how luxurious the eunuch is, the emperor can pull it down and kill him with a word, so compared with the vassal king, the eunuch is weaker.

King Zhou didn't dare to offend Jinyiwei, and there was no psychological pressure on a eunuch like Gong Huaien. At that moment, he took his name thorn, asked his steward to send it to the yamen of the eunuch guarding the town, called Gong Huaien, and ordered the kitchen to prepare a banquet, and then passed on another order.

Not long after, a strong royal official came up with a gold-lacquered tray. Zhu Mumu Xuan said with a smile: "Yang Baihu worked tirelessly, first went to Luoyang to get thieves, and then ran non-stop to beg for the people's lives. Xiao Wang Bucai, here is a little bit of a small gift, which can be regarded as a reward for your hard work, and please don't take it lightly. ”

As he spoke, he had already lifted off the big red silk on the tray, and on the tray, there was a row of small ingots cast in red gold. Each of those ingots was about five taels, and the whole twenty yards were neatly placed, which was a full hundred taels of gold.

During the Zhengde period, silver has not flowed into China in large quantities, and the price of silver is relatively high, one tael of gold can be converted into four taels of silver, which is not more than one tael of gold in another time and space during the Wanli period. Rao is like this, this one hundred taels of gold is enough to be worth four hundred taels of silver, which is almost enough to catch up with all the belongings of the Yang family back then.

Of course, Yang Chengzu understands that this is King Zhou buying himself, in other words, King Zhou is still not at ease with himself, for fear that he will make a fuss about Jin Changling's case. He also understands now that the power of the unmasking is greater than he imagined. King Zhou was afraid that he would call him a traitor who conspired against the court, so he spared no expense to befriend his little horseman.

It is said that he has a hundred households, and he can't get along with a prince, and King Zhou doesn't need to care about a small hundred households. But the problem is that now is a special period, as long as this small hundred households say a word, maybe they can get him, the prince, involved in the big rebellion case, Jin Changling's case has not been resolved, God knows what will turn into the end of the case. So he didn't care about it, and it was important to buy a safety first.

One hundred taels of gold is a huge amount of money for Yang Chengzu, but for King Zhou, it is just a drop in the bucket, and it is very cheap to be able to buy Yang Chengzu with this little money. Yang Chengzu didn't want to do anything Wu Hairui, and he smiled at someone who sent gold to the door.

Seeing that he was willing to accept the money, King Zhou let out a sigh and said with a smile: "Yang Baihu has worked hard all the way, and he must be very tired. It is also a time for Gong Huaien to come over, and it is also a time for the kitchen to prepare for the banquet, not to mention anything else, just the bear's paw, it has to be stewed for two hours. Come on, send Yang Baihu to the bathroom and wash the dust on his body. ”

Let Yang Chengzu use the bathroom of his own house, this is regarded as his own person, Yang Chengzu will not give face, and when he says thank you, he will go out with his subordinates. When he got out of the room, Nian Wangjiu clapped his hands and said, "Corporal Chitose Lixian, worthy of being a virtuous king." With today's hospitality, you are not afraid that he will not be used by Chitose, and you can rest easy this time. ”

Zhu Mumu Xuan also wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Yes, Henan Bafu, we are the three kings of Tang, Zhou, and Yi, I'm afraid it's not easy this time." The old man barely passed the test, and the two royal brothers didn't know what to do. In such a big case, it only costs a hundred taels of gold and a thousand handfuls of stone grain, but it is cheap, too cheap. ”

Yang Chengzu went to the bath room, only to see that the bathroom was made of good stones, and the four walls were carved with the scenes of men and women being good. The eldest girl who has not been out of the pavilion embroiders a hand to ward off evil spirits, not only is it not a shame, but it is the ability to add points when she gets married, and it is not surprising that this is carved in the bath.

On the roof, there are colorful palace lamps, and the light is soft and pleasant. The bathtub is rectangular, large and spacious, enough for four people to bathe at the same time, the lower part of the four walls is inlaid with a copper mirror, which is brilliant, and the edge of the basin is carved with ivory of various flowers, and the form is realistic.

There were two young maids with bright eyes and bright teeth, each wearing only a small coat, and waiting there with lotus arms and snow legs, and when they saw him come in, they each gave a salute, took the initiative to remove the clothes on his body for him, and led him into the pool. washed his hair, picked his ears and rubbed his back, trimmed his nails, and even played soap balls, and served him very thoughtfully. Yang Chengzu only needs to stay there, and they will do everything else.

When he got out of the bath, the two maids first wiped his body, and then stepped on him barefoot and stepped on his back. He also massaged his body with his small hands to dredge the tendons.

Just now, there was water everywhere on the two of them, and all kinds of wonders appeared, and the little clothes were even more irritating than if they didn't come. When the two began to massage Yang Chengzu's waist, feeling the contact between the slender jade hand and the body, he couldn't bear it anymore, hugged a maid, and kissed him under him.

The maid had obviously received the order, only struggled lightly twice, and then took the initiative to offer the incense tongue, and when Yang Chengzu stripped her of her small clothes, her face was red with shame, and she said softly: "The slave maid is still the first time to be served, and the general will have mercy." ”

The flowers withered and the stamens were left, and when Yang Chengzu vented his anger on the maid, the lovely man had become a paralyzed soft mud and couldn't move. Another girl watched the whole process, and she couldn't raise her head in shame, but she still carefully wiped Yang Chengzu's body and waited for him to get dressed.

Yang Chengzu looked at the little scarlet on the white sheet and knew that what the maid said was true, but King Zhou attached great importance to himself, and actually arranged two unsuitable maids to serve. He took two gold rings from his waist bag and threw them out, "Reward for you." ”

touched the face of the girl who was waiting for him again, "If you weren't afraid of Chitose and so on, your daughter is red, I will also taste it." Then he turned and went out of the bath, and the man who had brought him was waiting outside, and did not say much when he saw him come out, but led him all the way back to the antechamber.

The banquet had been set up at this time, and in addition to King Zhou and Nian Wangjiu, there was an extra white fat man of about fifty in the banquet. This fat man has a white face and no beard, and at first glance he knows that he is a eunuch, and he thinks that he is Gong Huaien, the eunuch guarding the town. Seeing Yang Chengzu come up to greet him, the eunuch snorted, "You are Yang Chengzu of the hundred households in brocade clothes, are you going to copy our warehouse?" ”

"The next official is Yang Chengzu, and I didn't ask you for your old man's surname."

"Gong Huaien, the lieutenant guard of our Henan town. You are so bold, you want to copy our warehouse, do you know, whose shares are the grain in this warehouse? It's really bold, aren't you afraid that if you continue to mess around like this, one day you will lose your head? ”
