"Long live the lord, you can be regarded as awake, drink some medicine." Seeing that Zhu Qiyu slowly opened his eyes with a withered face, Zhang Yong and the other eunuchs couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly waited for Zhu Qiyu to sit up, take the medicinal juice that had been warm on the side a long time ago, and bring it forward.

Zhu Qiyu, who was about to catch up with the dry firewood stick, smelled the unpleasant smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and couldn't help frowning, but under the persuasion of everyone, he still drank the bowl of medicinal juice, and drank a small bowl of honey, and Zhu Qiyu's pale and ugly face finally had a little more blood. "How long have I been asleep?"

"Hooray, you've been asleep for almost a day and a night. The concubine has been guarding you here last night, and it was not until this morning that she was persuaded by the old slave to go back. Zhang Yong looked at Zhu Qiyu's haggard face and couldn't help but reply anxiously. By the way, the concubine Niangniang, and the prince also stayed here for most of the night, because the prince couldn't support it, the concubine Niangniang took the prince back to the palace first, saying that if the lord woke up, he had to tell her. ”

"I see." Zhu Qiyu waved his hand a little impatiently, leaned on the couch, and said weakly: "You should go and inform my mother and Hang Guifei, well, in addition, Wang Qin, don't forget, tell that over there, let Concubine Li feel at ease, I will go to see her after a while, and when I am in better health, I will go to see her." ”

"The old slave obeys the order, long live the lord, what else do you command?"

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and then continued: "By the way, I once promised Concubine Li, so let's do it, her younger brother Li An is now a hundred households in Jinyiwei, well, I will give the Lingfu Temple and the garden to Li An as the incense courtyard." ”

"Long live the lord, don't worry, the old slave will do it, it will definitely be done properly." Wang Qin hurriedly bowed respectfully and bowed, and then cautiously withdrew from the hall.

In the palace, this group of eunuchs was still waiting by Zhu Qiyu's side, and no one was willing to leave at this time, after all, this was the time for himself and others to behave.

"Political affairs will have to work hard for you and the cabinet, but don't worry, I will always be on your side." Looking at the worried expressions on the faces of this group of loyal eunuchs, this made Zhu Qiyu very satisfied, and Wen Yan comforted.

"Long live the lord, you can rest assured, the old slave and the others will definitely do a good job for the long live lord." Zhang Yong and the others replied respectfully. That Zhu Qiyu just leaned on the couch and chatted with everyone, and then he felt overwhelmed, and when he was groggy and about to fall asleep, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps and the heart-rending cry, and a pair of hands were constantly pushing himself, and he couldn't help but reluctantly open his eyes, but saw that Hang Guifei was crying and sitting on the couch.

"It's you, the emperor?" Seeing this concubine who was his favorite concubine in the past, Zhu Qiyu showed a faint smile, and swept it in a blink of an eye, but he didn't see the figure of his son Zhu Jianji, so he couldn't help frowning slightly and asked.

-------------------- "Long live the lord, the emperor cried here for half the night last night, and he didn't fall asleep for the second half of the night, and then the imperial doctor prescribed some calming medicine, and then he fell asleep, and the concubine heard that the long live lord woke up, and she couldn't bear to wake up the emperor, so she rushed over to meet the long live lord first." Hang Guifei wiped the tears from her cheeks and explained with a forced smile.

"Such a small person, who has suffered like this, let him rest more, so as not to see me like this." Zhu Qiyu raised his hand and touched his shaved face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Long live Lord, you have to take care of your body, if something happens to you, the concubines and the emperor, how should you live." The tears on Hang Guifei's pale cheeks were not dry, and she looked at Zhu Qiyu who was lying on the couch in front of her with a look of concern.

Zhu Qiyu nodded. "I know, don't worry, didn't I make those bastards angry this time? It's good to raise it for a while. It's you, and I'm optimistic about the emperor. ”

wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the silk handkerchief, Hang Guifei showed a flattering smile on her face, held Zhu Qiyu's bony hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Long live the lord, don't worry, the concubine will definitely take care of the emperor, but long live the lord, now, that incident has been poked out, and now the court is in a mess, how should this be?" Hooray, after all, Jianji is your biological son......"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help frowning, slowly withdrew his hand and put it in front of his abdomen, his voice revealing an indescribable tiredness: "Of course I know, but now, the world knows about it, and none of the ministers dares to stand up and speak for me, what can I do?" ”

"But after all, you are the emperor of our Ming Dynasty, as long as you insist on it, those ministers, no matter how much they oppose it, what can they do?" Hang Guifei was quite urgent. Seeing this scene, the eunuchs who had stayed in the palace couldn't help but show a bit of strangeness on their faces, but none of them were willing to stand up.

"How can it be? Do you think that you are comfortable and happy to let me carry a lifetime of infamy?! Zhu Qiyu finally couldn't help it, his eyes widened, and he scolded.

"Long live the slave, the concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just thinks it's ......" Seeing Zhu Qiyu's eyes that were deep in their sockets full of fierce light, the frightened Hang Guifei hurriedly bowed down, and explained with a pitiful look.

"You! …… You get me out! I don't want to see you, get out! Zhu Qiyu fell back to the couch tiredly, waved his hand weakly, and turned his head to the couch in disgust, just these small movements almost exhausted the strength he had accumulated so hard.

"Long live the ......" Hang Guifei couldn't help but shed tears with an aggrieved face, but she whispered a few times, but she didn't get any response.

"Niangniang, Long Live Lord's body needs to be recuperated now, and you can't be angry, you better go back first, and when Long Live Lord is better, let's discuss this matter again......" At this time, Xing'an, who couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward, bent down and persuaded Nahang Guifei.

Looking at this concubine who seems to be cunning, but is actually stupid as a pig, Xing'an couldn't help but shake his head slightly, turned his face and was about to enter the palace, but saw a eunuch hurrying towards this side, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. "Grandpa Cao, why are you here?"

"I've seen Grandpa Xing, our family has just finished patrolling Miyagi, and I'm worried about the body of Long Live Lord, so I came here to take a look." Cao Jixiang, who was tall and tall, burly, and without a sissy, saw that it was Xing'an, and hurriedly bowed respectfully to that Xing'an, and after glancing at the hall, he deliberately raised his voice a little.

Xing'an nodded almost imperceptibly to Cao Jixiang, beckoned to let Cao Jixiang enter the hall with him, and said softly: "Don't worry, Long Live Lord woke up just now, look at the complexion, it's better than yesterday, the imperial doctor said, Long Live Lord has to recuperate for at least half a month, Gonggong Cao, now that you have the grace of the Son of Heaven, assist Princess Zhang Gong to take charge of the internal martial arts, don't slack off, let Long Live Lord be disappointed in you." ”

Cao Jixiang entered the hall, first bowed respectfully to Zhu Qiyu, who had fallen asleep, and then greeted the henchmen and eunuchs around Zhu Qiyu with smiling faces, with a look of humility of the younger generations, which made the eunuchs very satisfied.

"Grandpa Cao, if the Long Live Lord is not in good health, we have to take care of the Long Live Lord, and we can't pull away, this big inner palace is forbidden, but it will be handed over to you, don't let down the kindness of our family, you know?" After Zhang Yong unceremoniously accepted the gift of Cao Jixiang, he said with a reserved face to Cao Jixiang with a slight bow.

"That is, our family can have today, it's not all your support, such a great favor, our family will not dare to forget it for eighteen lifetimes, and we will definitely work hard to earn face for my father-in-law." Cao Jixiang was originally a burly man, but he wanted to do such a groveling move in front of the short Zhang Yong, which really made people see something like that, but everyone in this hall didn't care, but took it for granted.

Seeing that Zhang Yong's eyes narrowed, and a conceited smile appeared on his face, Cao Jixiang also continued to laugh, but the resentment and hatred in his heart became stronger and stronger.

If it weren't for the fact that he stuffed tens of thousands of taels of silver, and even gritted his teeth ruthlessly and gave many of his past treasures to these vampires, it would be impossible for him to return to the Imperial Horse Prison, let alone gain the favor of these confidants and eunuchs around Zhu Qiyu.

However, for the sake of his own future, for the promise made to him by the Empress Dowager, it is worth it.

And Zhang Yong and others, although they didn't have a good impression of Cao Jixiang in the past, they didn't have any bad feelings, but who let him occupy the fat shortage of the imperial horse prison, and he belonged to the Wang Zhen family, so naturally they had to take him down, so that they could replace the old people around Zhu Qiyu to eat meat.

However, after eating for a long time, I realized that there is really a lot of work in this imperial horse supervisor, but he Zhang Yong, not only the confidant eunuch around Zhu Qiyu, but also the most intimate person around Zhu Qiyu, naturally has to wait at any time, and there are also people who have been promoted in the past, but how to say it, they are all a group of people who welcome and shoot horses, and the imperial horse supervisor has only worked hard for more than a year, so he has made a mess for them.

Although Zhang Yong has been with Zhu Qiyu for more than 20 years, he is not just thinking about people who don't do anything except waiting for the emperor, but the problem is that he doesn't have the ability, seeing that the imperial horse supervisor is getting worse and worse, when the time comes, if something happens, don't you have to find him?

And Cao Jixiang came out, and under his song, Zhang Yong and the others remembered how to forget this guy.

Cao Jixiang was not only the former eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, but more importantly, he was a person who knew military affairs, and now, when the Son of Heaven was extremely uneasy about foreign ministers, Cao Jixiang, the eunuch who knew military affairs, took refuge in Zhang Yong's mind.

-------------------- so, because he recommended Cao Xixiang as the admiral eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, for this reason, Zhang Yong also won Zhu Qiyu's praise for his knowledge, and now, in just a few friends, Cao Jixiang really put the imperial horse supervisor in order again, not only that. Cao Jixiang knows very well how his position came about, in short, the big and small things of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Cao Jixiang will always report to Zhang Yong to know, and for the oil and water obtained in this fat difference, Cao Xixiang was very generous and only drank a little soup, and the meat was all pushed to Zhang Yong.

Although the time is not long, but Cao Jixiang's cuteness and currying favor still made Zhang Yong gradually change his attitude, although he still secretly sent his henchmen to control many affairs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, however, in the military area, it is more Cao Jixiang to be in charge.

"How's it going?" Leaving the palace where Zhu Qiyu was recuperating, the two walked slowly in a secluded corridor, and Xing'an walked slowly with his hands on his shoulders, his expression quite solemn.

Cao Jixiang no longer had the groveling appearance in front of Zhang Yong and the others at this moment, his eyes swept around, and his voice was unusually low: "Father-in-law Xing, you can rest assured, those people in our family are all reliable, but I can't be sure when it will ...... Therefore, we don't dare to make adjustments first. ”

"Remember, the less people know about things, the better it will be for you." Xing'an glanced at Cao Jixiang and nodded slightly, but his tone was still quite serious.

"Our family knows that our family name and life are all here to fight, how can we be careless." Cao Jixiang nodded, and couldn't help patting his forehead a little frustratedly, his wife and son were all pinched in the hands of the Sun family, it was his own son, even if it was for him, he would give up his life.

"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty the Emperor are both believers, as long as you do what you should do, they will naturally not fail you." Xing'an couldn't help but sigh lightly, looking at the red walls and golden tiles of the palace in the distance, and couldn't help but say leisurely. "The reason why our family is doing this is not for our own glory and wealth, but for the Ming of our Han family."

"What the son did today is really disappointing to the people of the world, and even, for the sake of his own selfishness, he actually ignores the society of the country. Since the Yongle Dynasty, our family has entered the palace, and has served Emperor Taizong, Emperor Renzong, Emperor Xuanzong, and even His Majesty the Emperor in the past has made mistakes, but he has never done such an act. ”

Although Cao Jixiang put on a respectful face, his eyebrows were raised disapprovingly. Xing'an swept Cao Jixiang's expression, but he didn't understand anything, just smiled. "As soon as this matter is over, our family should also go to guard the emperor's mausoleum and take care of the old days......"

Looking at Na Xing'an's somewhat indifferent back, Cao Jixiang opened his mouth, but finally didn't scream, straightened out the robe on his body, took a deep breath, and strode away on another corridor.
