Liu's father-in-law's name is Liu Mingguo, 28 years old this year, and he is a eunuch in charge of the direct palace eunuch, the so-called direct palace eunuch, in fact, is responsible for the sanitation and cleaning work in the palace. This kid once went to the Yangxin Palace to clean up, and found that the emperor was in a bad mood, it seemed that the wood was smashed, he reacted quickly enough, pretended to be a clown and made Zhu Youxiao laugh, so he became the emperor's follower, and he had nothing to do to run errands or something.

Because he knew that Yue Su would be a carpenter and was favored by the emperor, Liu Mingguo took the initiative to chat with Yue Su along the way, and entered the Forbidden City and came to the Palace of Heart Cultivation while talking.

After Liu Mingguo regained his life, he retired on his own, leaving only Yue Su to accompany the emperor.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao saw Yue Su, he smiled, just a chair next to him, and said, "Aiqing, what do you think of my handiwork?" ”

Yue Su took a look, not to mention, this swivel chair is made in a decent way, and it has been modified to make it more gorgeous. Carpenter Zhu sat on the fruit of his labor, turned around, and said: "Aiqing's creativity is really good, this chair is very practical, I don't know if Aiqing has any other good ideas, tell me about it." ”

Yue Su expected that the emperor was looking for him, and Jiucheng was for this, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is amazing, and the ministers admire." If it is a good idea, the minister also made a chair called a sofa. ”

"Sofa?" Zhu Youxiao said curiously: "This thing is fresh, can you draw drawings?" ”

Yue Su said: "Naturally, you can. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked people to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Yue Su drew on the spot, and quickly drew the appearance of the sofa, and even the details of the production were marked one by one, and even painted a variety of different styles, as well as the matching coffee table.

After receiving the drawings, Zhu Youxiao was full of praise again, "Aiqing is really a genius, why can't I think of it." Okay, okay, I'll do it now, and Aiqing will be on the side. ”

"If you don't dare to teach, with Your Majesty's wisdom, it will be easy. Just to make a sofa, you need to make a spring first, which is very laborious, and you need to find a good blacksmith to build it. ”

"This is easy to do, I will give a decree now, find the best blacksmith to make the spring according to the drawings." The emperor was resolute in this regard, and immediately ordered Liu Mingguo to take the spring drawings to the blacksmith to build.

Subsequently, he competed with Yue Su for a while to carve wooden figures, but it was still a tie. At noon, the meal was passed again, and Yue Su accompanied him to eat. During the banquet, Yue Su mentioned the matter of Zhou Bucheng and Zeng Youcai, and his method of telling the story was similar to that of telling a story, first telling how Zhou Bucheng and Zeng Youcai bullied the people, and the emperor who only listened was furious. Then he talked about how he punished him, and let the two of them parade through the streets, and the emperor applauded loudly. Finally, when you pass by the gate of Feng Quan's mansion on the street, the evil slaves of the Feng family came out to rob people, and Zeng Youlu also ripped up the prisoner's confession and his handwritten instructions, and the emperor was angry when he heard this, until he heard that Tie Qiu and others had captured Zeng Youlu and escorted him back to the lobby to beat the board.

After Yue Su finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao said: "Aiqing is really a mountain of law enforcement, witty, with you, it is my blessing to the Ming Dynasty, and my country is worry-free." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, I dare not take it seriously. By the way, Your Majesty, what do you say these three people should do? Yue Su asked deliberately.

"Kill! Kill them all! Zhu Youxiao said loudly.

"Obey. It's just that the murder has to be reported to the Criminal Department, and when the autumn is decided, it is said that Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, has come to rob people, and I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for these three people to be corrected, and there will be another accident. At that moment, Yue Su told Xu Xianchun about the prisoner when he came in the morning, and he told him about it.

"Xu Xianchun is so bold, I will issue an order to dismiss him now, and as for the three prisoners, they will also be cut down by decree." After speaking, Zhu Youxiao shouted loudly: "Call Wei Zhongxian to me." ”

The emperor had something to say, and the little eunuch hurriedly rushed to call Wei Zhongxian, who was now in the room of the celebrant to review the chapter for Zhu Youxiao.

As soon as he heard that the emperor had summoned him, Wei Zhongxian immediately asked, "Do you know why the emperor summoned him?" ”

"I don't know this very well, but I know that Your Majesty is having dinner with Lord Yin Yue of Shuntian Mansion, and the two of them have said a lot of words at the banquet, and they are too far apart to hear clearly. Later, the emperor seemed to be angry and asked his father-in-law to come over. The little eunuch replied honestly.

"Could it be that Yue Su said bad things about me in front of the emperor?" Wei Zhongxian beat a drum in his heart and came to the Heart Cultivation Hall with a nervous mood.

After entering the door, seeing Yue Suzheng and the emperor sitting on an equal footing and eating together, it was inevitable that he was a little jealous, but he still said respectfully: "The old slave asks the emperor for peace." ”

"Wei Qing is exempt. I have called you here for several things that I have commanded you to do. The first is to dismiss Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Second, it is proposed that Zhou Bucheng, the county commander of Daxing County, and the two house slaves in Feng Quan's mansion, Zeng Youcai and Zeng Youlu, be beheaded immediately. The third thing is to tell Feng Quan to restrain his own minions well, if he goes out to make trouble again, I will never spare him. Zhu Youxiao said lukewarmly.

"The old slave obeyed. It's just that I don't know what crime Xu Xianchun was dismissed from? Wei Zhongxian asked cautiously. After all, Xu Xianchun is his lackey, and he must be preserved if he can be preserved.

Ask himself. I'm busy right now, so go down. "Zhu Youxiao is very impatient.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian hurriedly retreated, and after going out, his heart was inevitably up and down, and he didn't know what Xu Xianchun had done to make the emperor so unhappy.

He did not immediately return to the celebrant to draft the decree, but went out of the palace directly and returned to his own mansion, and at the same time ordered someone to invite Xu Xianchun and Feng Quan to come.

*******************************************************

"What have you done to make Your Majesty so upset? Feng Quan, now Your Majesty has decreed that you will immediately kill your cousin and domestic servant, and will also reprimand you. And you Xu Xianchun, the emperor is going to issue a decree to dismiss you, what have you all done behind my back? ”

In the flower hall of the Wei Mansion, Wei Zhongxian roared angrily.

"I ...... I didn't do anything......" Xu Xianchun heard that he was going to be dismissed, and his face turned white with fright.

Feng Quan was calmer than him, and told Yue Su in detail about the bullying in the past two days, and mentioned that he asked Xu Xianchun for help this morning. Speaking of this, Xu Xianchun took over the conversation, saying that he went to mention people on impulse, but as a result, stealing chickens could not lead to a handful of rice, and his own people were beaten in public, and his face was lost. Why did he lose his official position?

Wei Zhongxian listened to their story, pondered for a long time, and said: "Now this Yue Su is favored, you'd better not mess with him, and don't fall into his hands, as long as he sues anyone when he accompanies the emperor to work, basically this person will not end well." Our emperor's surname, don't you all know it now? ”

The temper of the carpenter emperor, they also heard of it, as long as they did the carpenter work, basically they didn't care about anything, although they were smart, but they were also simple, as long as the people of their cronies said a few words at this time, it was easy to believe it.

Xu Xianchun couldn't help but scolded: "This Yue Su is really a villain who destroys evil spirits, flatters and invites pets, votes exclusively for His Majesty's favor, blinds Shengcong, and destroys ministers and misleads the country!" ”

He was also embarrassed to say that if he was good at carpentry and had the opportunity to meet the emperor, it was estimated that his spirit would be more than Yue Su.

"Brother Xu is right, we must not sit idly by and watch this kind of evil villain corrupt the dynasty. But for now, it's better to listen to the Governor and not have a hard time with him. "Feng Quan is still very knowledgeable about current affairs. Cousins and house slaves are nothing, as long as they can keep themselves, they can get rid of anything.

Xu Xianchun also nodded, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian with pitiful eyes, "Duke, what should I do now?" You must protect me. ”

Wei Zhongxian took a long breath and said, "Now that Your Majesty has asked me to draw up an order, this matter must not be disobeyed, otherwise let Yue Su sue for a complaint, and I will not have good fruit to eat at that time." Let me think about it......" Wei Zhongxian closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and suddenly showed a cruel smile on his face, "Yes, you now hurry up and write a letter of guilt and hand it to me, and I will help you forward it to the emperor, and the attitude of admitting your mistakes should be more sincere, and by the way, put the black pot on Luo Sigong's head, and say that he instructed you to do this." At that time, I will divide it and say that he will be a substitute for the dead. ”

Luo Sigong is the current commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Wei Zhongxian has long looked at him unpleasantly and wants to replace him with his cronies. It's just that I can't find a suitable reason, and now I am forced to do it, in order to keep my lackeys, I have to fight hard, trying to move to Luo Sigong and change my own people to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Hearing this, Xu Xianchun nodded hurriedly and complimented: "The governor is wise." It's just that after Luo Sigong stepped down, the position of the commander ......" said, looking at Wei Zhongxian with blank eyes, hoping that the master would reward him with this position.

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "You just committed a crime, Your Majesty can not blame you, it is already good to keep your official position, and you still want to climb to the position of commander, it's just a fool's dream." I originally planned to bring down Luo Sigong after two years of full-fledged wings and let Tian Ergeng come to power, but now there is a Yue Su, and I have to force me to do it in advance, but now Tian Ergeng's qualifications are too shallow, and I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to trust him. Who is this candidate to look for? As he spoke, he frowned and pondered.

"Duke, I think of a person, if you promote this person in front of Your Majesty, you may be ninety percent sure." Feng Quan suddenly said loudly.

"Who? Is it our own? Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up and he stared at Feng Quan.

"It's definitely my own person, the person I want to talk about, the Dugong is more familiar than me, he is the current Jinyi Wei Qianhu, the son of Mrs. Fengsheng - Hou Guoxing." Feng Quan said proudly.

"That's right, why didn't I think that if I promoted him with the emperor, it would definitely be foolproof." Wei Zhongxian laughed heartily, "Good idea, it's him." ”

Hou Guoxing is the biological son of Ke Yinyue and her husband Hou Er. After Ke Yinyue gave birth to him, he applied to go to the palace as a wet nurse, Guoxing depended on his father for his life, and later his father died of illness, and he lived with his uncle Keguang first. Until Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, I don't know what method Ke Yinyue used, but let Zhu Changluo's son Hou Guoxing and younger brother Keguang first become Jinyi Wei Qianhu, which has always puzzled the ministers of the court.

Now the emperor is very fond of Yinyue, loves the house and Wu, and rewards Hou Guoxing with a Jinyi guard commander, which is understandable. In the Ming Dynasty, there was only an official position in this brocade guard, which did not require a diploma or qualifications, and it all depended on the emperor's preference and trust. As long as the emperor trusts you, even if you are an illiterate street **, you can be promoted to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard. The key is that you can know the emperor.

Hou Guoxing was selected to take over as the commander of Jinyiwei, and Wei Zhongxian sent another order, so that the imperial historian under his command immediately wrote a chapter to impeach Luo Sigong, and the charges were nothing more than corruption and bribery, and bending the law for personal gain. At the same time, he found someone to try to impeach Yue Su, and the two people he was looking for were not his henchmen, but the two people who impeached Yue Su last time - Wei Shu, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Bian En, the director of the Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Rites.
