Ye Xiaotian hurried back to the inn, and as soon as he entered the inn, he smelled the aroma of barbecue. Ye Xiaotian was a little surprised, this is the place where the Ming Dynasty set up a special reception for officials from all over the world to go to Beijing, it stands to reason that there is no reason to make it look like this, although the fragrance is quite tempting......

Ye Xiaotian casually grabbed a post guard and asked, and the post guard snorted and said, "Just smell this fragrance and leave, the third lady is barbecuing in the courtyard, hey!" I really don't know if she continues to live, will she have a 'Naadam' ...... in our post house."

The post man shook his head and left, Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ...... I rushed to find the smell of barbecue. Ye Xiaotian rushed to the door of the mansion where the third lady lived, the fragrance became more and more intense, and there were four tall and burly Mongolian men standing on both sides of the gate at the door.

Ye Xiaotian knew that he had found the right place, and immediately stepped forward quickly, and when the four big men saw him hurriedly coming to the door, they immediately crossed the door, looked at him coldly with their arms crossed, and did not speak.

Ye Xiaotian stood up and arched his hand: "I don't know that the third lady is having a banquet with a Xia Yingying Xia girl?" ”

A big man rolled his eyes and said coldly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "It's not a secret, Miss Xia and Zai Xia are ...... It's ......"

Four pairs of bull's eyes glared at Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian turned his heart sideways, and said loudly: "It's the daughter-in-law below, if Miss Xia is here, please let me know, I want to see her!" ”

"Oh......"

The four Mongolian men with beards on their faces had expressions of "so it is", and one of them softened his color and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Please wait a moment, I'll go and report to Kedun!" ”

The third lady and Yingying were really barbecuing, originally the third lady wanted to invite her and her to a banquet in the hall according to the customs of the Central Plains, but Yingying was very interested in the barbecue in the courtyard. The third lady also liked to barbecue by herself, but she was confined to the tradition of "gentlemen and gentlemen cooking" in the Central Plains, so they followed the customs. Now seeing that Yingying is interested, she simply moved out of the hall and drove away the cooks to barbecue by themselves.

Yingying was grabbing a handful of meat skewers, roasting them with great interest according to the instructions of the third lady, seeing that the meat skewers were glowing with attractive colors, and she was about to hand a string to her mother to taste, when a Mongolian man had already walked over quickly, first gave a salute to the third lady, and then said to Yingying in a rough voice: "Miss Xia, your man is coming to you!" ”

"Huh?"

Xia Yingying's jaw almost fell in shock: "My man? ”

Mrs. Xia immediately looked at her daughter vigilantly. Shocked and angry: "Yingying, you are in the capital...... Got acquainted with a man? ”

Xia Yingying hurriedly defended: "I didn't!" ”

The third lady frowned and said, "What is that person's name, how can he claim to be my little sister's man?" ”

The big man was stunned, he really didn't ask Ye Xiaotian's name and surname, Ye Xiaotian said that it was Xia Yingying's man, so he came in to report. Xia Yingying stood up angrily: "I'll take a look!" ”

Xia Yingying grabbed a handful of fragrant meat skewers and went straight to the gate of the courtyard, the third lady and Mrs. Xia looked at each other, and hurriedly chased after them.

"Who said it was my man?" Xia Yingying stood at the door and pointed forward angrily with a handful of meat skewers: "You, you, or you?" ”

At the door stood Ye Xiaotian's four guards. Xia Yingying didn't know anyone, but someone pretended to be her man, of course she was annoyed, and she didn't want to ask if she didn't want to.

Ye Xiaotian was talking to an official on the side of the door. The officials of the pavilion saw Ye Xiaotian leading four guards to stand in front of the door and confront the Mongolian warriors, and recognized them as local officials from Guiyang, and thought that there was a dispute between the two sides, which was a big event. He hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Ye Xiaotian was following him to explain, when he suddenly heard Yingying's voice sound, and hurried back to the door. I saw Yingying with one hand on her waist, her apricot eyes wide open, and a handful of meat skewers pointing forward, with a stupid face, the cherry-colored cherry mouth was shiny and shiny, and her cheeks were also a little greasy.

"Ahh

Suddenly seeing Ye Xiaotian, Yingying's angry face disappeared, she opened her mouth in surprise, with a look of disbelief. Ye Xiaotian walked up with a smile and said softly, "Yingying, are you okay?" ”

"You...... You ......" Yingying stammered a few words, stretched out her hand, and said blankly: "Do you eat meat skewers?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Why did you go for a night and not come back until the morning court, huh? You said! "Emperor Wanli looked at Xu Boyi and was furious!

Most of the eunuchs have ** problems, even some eunuchs who have successfully done castration by the knife hand in the palace, due to the lack of an important part, the lack of a sphincter constraint, in the case of tension, urinary urgency and other situations, it will still **.

If the castration process is not perfect, it will become a constant flow of water, so even if many eunuchs take a bath frequently and carry a very fragrant purse on their body, they still have a very bad smell.

Although Xu Boyi was castrated in very bad conditions, he recovered well, and only in the case of nervousness and urgency. At the moment, he was nervous and urgent, so he ...... He peed again.

Because of the overnight rush, even in a hurry to bring the fire, this time the smell is not small, Emperor Wanli held his breath, took a few steps back in disgust, and then continued to roar: "This little thing can't be done, it's really a waste!" ”

Xu Boyi saw that the hem was wet, and he knelt on the hall with a bang, one begged for mercy, and the other hid his shame: "Your Majesty!" Your Majesty, it's not that the slaves and maids are too incompetent, it's really difficult to move an inch in this palace......"

Xu Boyi snorted and cried about his hard work this night, how could Emperor Wanli have the leisure to listen to his complaints. Wanli waved his hand angrily and scolded: "One hundred catties of steamed pastries, waste snacks!" You go, please come to the Five Emperor Uncles! ”

The imperial uncle Wanli said is called Zhu Xingshu, who is Wanli's uncle in the clan, and is similar to Wanli in terms of age, Wanli used to accompany the prince to read when he was a child, so the two have a good relationship.

However, the five emperor uncles are neither princes nor county kings, the princes are all called princes except for the crown prince, the prince's sons are called princes except for the eldest son, and the rest of the princes are called county kings, and the sons of county kings are called the generals of the town except for the eldest son. This Zhu Xingshu is General Zhenguo.

The clans of the Ming Dynasty were different from both the Han and Jin dynasties and the Tang and Song dynasties. The Han and Jin dynasties were divided into the people, like an independent state. The Tang and Song dynasties were not well-gruntled, and their virtuous and capable people were all famous. The state will also entrust it with important tasks.

However, the Ming Dynasty clan was divided into feuds and did not tin soil, the lords did not come to the people, ate Lu but did not govern things, and could not participate in the business of the four people (Shinong Industry and Commerce). After Yongle cut the domain, he raised the clan as a pig again, so the strength of the clan was extremely weak.

In doing so, Yongle learned the lessons of various dynasties in history and prevented the clan from seizing power, but the four pillars of traditional political power - bureaucracy. Clans, relatives, eunuchs. He dismantled the three legs of the clan, relatives, and eunuchs, and the bureaucracy became the dominant family.

No matter how much the bureaucracy beautifies itself, the danger of their monopoly is even higher than that of the clan, relatives, and eunuch clique, because they are a group of people who directly govern the country and control government affairs.

When Emperor Jiajing was there, he once wanted to save the country, let the clan settle in Nanjing, and gradually transfer to Beijing. Strengthen the influence of the clan to counterbalance the increasingly assertive bureaucracy.

It's a pity that there are too many capable people in the elite bureaucracy, and the emperor's mind was seen through by them at a glance, so they exercised the "one-vote veto". vetoed the emperor's idea of depriving them of the "right of veto", so that most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were interdependent and on the same page as the ministers, and when they couldn't bear it anymore, they let a few eunuchs come out and bite them out to vent their evil anger.

And because Zhu Xingshu is not even the king of the county, his title is too low. In addition, he is the emperor's playmate, anyway, he is such a person, and he can't set off any waves. So it was rare not to be kicked out of the capital.

Zhu Xingshu is making a happy little pig at home: when he is full of food and sleep, he sleeps and eats when he is full, and he listens to the play when he is really bored, anyway, all the major affairs of national politics have nothing to do with him, and he can't mix it at all, and he doesn't want the emperor to suddenly send a eunuch.

Zhu Xingshu was puzzled, and hurriedly withdrew the troupe and asked someone to call the eunuch. Xu Boyi saw Zhu Xingshu, and passed the emperor's edict to him to meet him, Zhu Xingshu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Xu Boyi into the palace, and asked Xu Boyi all the way about the reason for the emperor's summons.

Wanli sent Xu Boyi to summon him into the palace, the purpose was to let him understand the situation first, so as to save himself any more trouble. Other than that...... The emperor has self-esteem, and some words are really hard to say directly, Zhu Xingshu is not a slave around him, so it is better to let Xu Boyi speak for him.

Zhu Xingshu listened to Xu Boyi's story, and he had a score in his heart: it turned out that the emperor wanted to be a matchmaker himself.

Zhu Xingshu was determined in his heart, in fact, every time the emperor forbade people to marry and began to choose concubines, the common people were the first to start marrying daughters after hearing about it, because the chance of becoming the emperor's favorite concubine after being selected into the palace was too slim, and the probability of being trapped in the palace for a lifetime and not being able to reunite with relatives for a lifetime was more than nine out of nine.

But the emperor clearly loved that Yingying girl, and Xu Boyi hinted that as long as she was willing to enter the palace, the emperor could immediately crown her as the imperial concubine.

It's not without disadvantage for him, the hundred officials will definitely try their best to oppose it after hearing about it, once the raw rice is cooked and cooked, the hundred officials can't stop it, I'm afraid they will be angry with him, but what does it matter? He is a clan, dependent on the emperor to survive, as long as he pleases the Son of Heaven, even if he is driven to the local area, he can be a pig that is more free and happy than in Beijing.

When Zhu Xingshu saw the Son of Heaven, Emperor Wanli was a little shy in the face of this playmate since childhood, and only said after a while: "Uncle Huang, I am the Son of Heaven, once supreme, but there are only a handful of happy things in life."

This Yingying girl, I fell in love at first sight, and since then I have been thinking about it and haunting my dreams, and I can't let it go again! Now I ask the imperial uncle to ask for marriage on my behalf, if I can persuade Miss Yingying to stay with me, I will be a pity in this life. ”

As Emperor Wanli spoke, his eyes moistened, and Zhu Xingshu was also emotional, the emperor was really ...... It's not easy! Sometimes the situation is worse than that of his happy little pig. Zhu Xingshu said angrily: "The emperor can rest assured, if the minister goes, he will definitely live up to his holy hopes and persuade Miss Xia to enter the palace!" ”
