The commander of the Jinyi Guard kept Sai Hazhi busy with official business, and because of his important position, it was inconvenient for Zhou Zheng to move around with him in private, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion from the outside world. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly.

Therefore, Zhou Zheng took advantage of the time when he was in the court to find an opportunity to mention the money to Sai Hazhi, saying that Li Yuntian's father Li Chengming wanted to donate a congratulatory gift to Jinyiwei to repair and renovate the house, hoping that he could send someone to receive it.

Sai Hazhi heard that it was Zhou Zheng's aunt's father who donated the money, and it was a large sum of 20,000 taels, so he naturally smiled at Li Chengming's generosity, anyway, the object of Li Chengming's donation was the Jinyiwei Yamen, and it was Jinyiwei's account that had nothing to do with him personally.

Besides, Li Chengming is not an official, just an ordinary gentry in Shimen County, so he naturally has no pressure to accept this money.

Don't look at Saihazhi now controlling the Jinyi Guard, on the surface, it looks infinitely beautiful, but in fact he is walking on thin ice, because the first three commanders of the Jinyi Guard did not end well in the end, and the end was miserable, and he didn't want to follow in their footsteps.

The first commander of Jinyiwei was Mao Xiang, who followed Ming Taizu for many years and won the trust of Ming Taizu, so he was appointed as the commander after the establishment of Jinyiwei.

When Mao Xiang was in office, his greatest contribution was to preside over the completion of the "Hu Weiyong Case", killing more than 30,000 people before and after, and one prince and 21 marquis were involved.

Afterwards, in order to appease the anger of the public, Ming Taizu executed Mao Xiang, who was in charge of the case.

The second commander of Jinyiwei was Jiang Xian, who presided over the completion of the "Blue Jade Case" when he was in office, killing more than 20,000 people before and after, and punishing one duke, thirteen marquis, and two uncles.

After the "Blue Jade Case", Jiang Xian was immediately executed by Ming Taizu, and no one knows the reason for the execution.

The third commander of Jinyiwei was Ji Gang, and Emperor Yongle used him to kill Emperor Jianwen's former ministers, and later because of his bad intentions, he supported the Han King to seize the throne, and was denounced by the eunuchs, and then executed by Emperor Yongle.

Now, as the fourth commander of Jinyiwei, Saihazhi naturally takes the three predecessors as a lesson and acts cautiously, fortunately, there is no one in the court who is worthy of the Yongle Emperor's big fight, so his situation is much better than the three predecessors.

After handing over the 20,000 taels of silver tickets to Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei's people issued a receipt voucher stamped with Jinyiwei's big seal and officially entered Jinyiwei's account.

This voucher for receiving money Li Yuntian did not keep on his body, but handed it over to his father Li Chengming for safekeeping, because it was donated in the name of Li Chengming, so it was not convenient to put it on his body.

This matter is very secretive, even the people of Jinyiwei do not know, as for Lu Dezhong, who gave this gift, he would never have thought that Li Yuntian would deal with this amount of money like this, if someone wants to attack him with this, then he will be ready to bear the pressure from Jinyiwei at that time. The update is the fastest and most stable

Li Yuntian originally wanted to stay in the capital for a few days and leave, but Zhou Zheng took him to linger in the various palaces, Houye's mansions and uncle's mansions in the capital, and let him show his face in front of those noble and important ministers, so that he had to postpone the date of leaving Beijing.

During this period, Li Yuntian specially went to visit his mentor Yang Shiqi, but Yang Shiqi went to Nanjing on official business, so he left his name and gifts and left.

In the name of drinking the wedding wine, Li Yuntian invited those Jinshi Nianyi who were working hard in various ministries and courtyards in the capital to come to his home to get together to promote mutual affection, and the Nianyi who received the invitation came to the banquet one after another.

For Li Yuntian did not stay in the capital but went to Hukou County, many people felt sorry for him, after all, there are greater opportunities for development in the capital, and if he is released after a few years, he is also an official of the sixth grade, which is better than Li Yuntian working hard in the position of magistrate.

At the same time, everyone envied Li Yuntian's good luck and married such a beautiful lady Zhou Yuting, and it would be smooth sailing in the future with Zhou Zheng as a backer.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very relaxed, Li Yuntian talked and laughed with everyone, and the relationship between everyone was invisibly shortened.

The only regret is that Yu Qian went to Nanjing with Yang Shiqi, and it is a pity that he failed to see Yu Qian this time, otherwise his trip to the capital would have been perfect.

Soon after the banquet, Zhou Zheng led him and Zhou Yuting to Taifu Temple to see Hu Yitu.

Taifu Temple is the abbreviation of the five yamen in the capital, namely Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple and Honglu Temple.

Dali Temple is in charge of the trial of the prison, can be called the Supreme Court of the Ming Dynasty, Dali Temple is one of the nine Qing, and the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are called the "Three Law Divisions", and the authority is the heaviest in the five temples.

Taichang Temple is in charge of the sacrifice; Guanglu Temple is in charge of meals; Taifu Temple is in charge of horses; Honglu Temple is responsible for receiving foreign guests.

Li Yuntian didn't expect that Zhou Zheng turned out to be a friend of Taifu Temple, and he was only a six-grade temple, and he felt a little strange in his heart, it seems that Hu Yitu has a very high status in the hearts of his father-in-law, otherwise he would not have led him and Zhou Yuting to visit.

The name of Taifu Temple is good, in fact, it is a place for the royal family to raise horses, cattle and manage vehicles, as long as there is a little ability, as long as there is a little ability, they are not willing to enter it to be ridiculed by people as a "groom".

Hu Yitu lives in the Warden Department, which is in charge of raising horses and cattle and miscellaneous animals, which is a breeding ground to put it bluntly.

When the warden heard that Zhou Zheng was coming, he hurriedly went out to greet him in person, he was only an official from the seventh grade, not even as good as Li Yuntian, not to mention the dignified Hou Ye.

Zhou Zheng often came here, and he was already familiar with the Warden Department, he waved off the order of the Warden Office with a smile on his face, walked in, and led Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting to a stable, only to see a sturdy middle-aged man holding his sleeves to add forage to the horses in the stable.

"Uncle Hu." Zhou Yuting walked over with a smile and shouted coquettishly.

"Master Hou, this is the new aunt." The middle-aged man was Hu Yitu, seeing Zhou Zheng coming, he clapped his hands and greeted him with a smile, glanced at Li Yuntian and asked.

"Uncle Hu." Li Yuntian bowed when he heard this, and bowed to Hu Yitu, he felt that Hu Yitu did not look like an official, and it was more appropriate to say that he was a groom.

"Sure enough, it's a talent." Hu Yitu smiled and said to Zhou Zheng, looking very satisfied with Li Yuntian.

"Uncle Hu, are there any good horses?" Zhou Yuting wore a strong suit today, and said with gusting hands, the horses in the Taifu Temple are among the best in the capital.

Hu Yitu knew that Zhou Yuting was a person who couldn't sit still, so he picked a horse for her, and Zhou Yuting went to the horse farm to ride a horse in a hurry.

Subsequently, Hu Yitu led Zhou Zheng and Li Yuntian to his residence, his wife was a simple middle-aged woman, and after making them a pot of tea, they went back to the bedroom to collect the soles of their shoes, and the three of them chatted while drinking tea.

Li Yuntian originally thought that Hu Yitu, like Zhou Zheng, was born in a martial arts, but after some conversation, he was surprised to find that Hu Yitu was full of economy and brilliant writing, and he discussed the past and the present with him, and he was definitely not a soldier from the army.

He didn't understand a little, with Hu Yitu's talent, coupled with his friendship with Zhou Zheng, why bother to feed the horses in this stable, there must be something to do in the officialdom, it seems that there must be something hidden in it.

At noon, Li Yuntian ate at Hu Yitu's residence, although it was some home-cooked food, but he could see that Zhou Zheng was very happy, maybe it was a good thing to change the taste of eating big fish and meat.

On the way home, Li Yuntian kept pondering Hu Yitu's identity, he felt that the origin of this Hu Yitu must not be simple, the name may be fake, Hu Yitu, "confused"?

He wanted to ask Zhou Zheng, but it was inconvenient to speak, since Hu Yitu had concealed his identity, he must have had a last resort.

Zhou Zheng seemed to see that Li Yuntian had something on his mind, and led him to the Hou Mansion after coming out of the Warden Office.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what do you think of your Uncle Hu?" In the study, Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and looked at Li Yuntian quietly.

"Uncle Hu is willing to be indifferent, which makes the son-in-law very admirable." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and replied.

"yes, it's been twenty years, and he still can't mind the past." Zhou Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is very puzzled, why does Uncle Hu have to live in the wardyard with his ability?" Li Yuntian thought about it for a while, and finally asked, Zhou Zheng called him to the study, probably to tell him the origin of Hu Yitu.

"Have you heard of Fang Xiaoru?" Zhou Zheng was silent for a while, and asked with a stern expression.

"Fang Xiaoru?" Li Yuntian was taken aback for a moment, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Fang Xiaoru was a great Confucian in the period of Emperor Jianwen, and was deeply valued and reused by Emperor Jianwen.

Yao Guangxiao, the first strategist under Emperor Yongle, had expected that Fang Xiaoru would never respect Emperor Yongle before Emperor Yongle's move, so he persuaded Emperor Yongle not to kill Fang Xiaoru after ascending the throne, otherwise he would lose the heart of the world's scholars, which shows the importance of Fang Xiaoru.

Emperor Yongle agreed to Yao Guangxiao at that time, but Fang Xiaoru was very loyal, and Emperor Yongle asked him to write an edict to succeed to the throne, and he actually wrote "Yan thief compiles the throne" on it.

This angered Emperor Yongle and asked him if he was not afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans, Fang Xiaoru replied vigorously, "What can the Ten Clans do to me?" ”

Emperor Yongle couldn't help but be furious, so he ordered Fang Xiaoru's nine clans, plus Fang Xiaoru's students and friends, to be arrested into ten clans, a total of 873 people were implicated and then executed, and thousands of people were imprisoned and exiled.

"When your Uncle Hu was young, he used to study under Fang Xiaoru, he lived in Beiping City, and he was a close friend of his father.

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said with great regret, "How high-spirited he was back then, wanting to show his ambitions and benefit the people of the world, but it's a pity that Fang Xiaoru would openly contradict and insult the saint and be punished by the ten clans, so he was also disheartened and unwilling to be an official, so he hid in this stable after changing his name and surname." ”

Li Yuntian nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, it seems that Hu Yitu felt guilty about the death of the other party's filial piety in his heart, and he couldn't cross the threshold in his heart, so he chose to avoid it in this way.

"Do you know that letting Yuting marry you is your Uncle Hu's idea." Zhou Zheng remembered something and said in a deep voice.

Li Yuntian was suddenly surprised, he didn't expect Hu Yitu to be the matchmaker between himself and Zhou Yuting, it seems that Zhou Zheng and Hu Yitu have an extremely deep friendship.

Vaguely, he felt that Hu Yitu must have another meaning in doing this, otherwise there are so many powerful children in the capital, and Zhou Yuting can marry a well-connected family.

However, since Zhou Zheng didn't say it, then he didn't ask about it, anyway, this matter will be clarified sooner or later. One
