Chapter 221: In Full Swing (Five Watches)

In the two days that Zhu Zhanji left Nanjing City, Li Yuntian stayed in his own place and slept, not even going out except for eating and going to the toilet, and he was very low-key, and he was rarely a little comfortable to be idle. It is recommended to read novels, read books, and read the Internet

After all, this is an extraordinary time, and if someone recognizes you outside, it will inevitably be another storm.

Compared with Li Yuntian's leisure and comfort, Lei Ting has encountered a lot of trouble, she has reached the age of eighteen this year, because Lei Xiaotian already knows that Lei Ting asked Emperor Hong Xi for a marriage decree, so he no longer cares about her marriage, but her grandmother is not clear about the matter of the decree, so she naturally cares about Lei Ting's lifelong affairs.

Therefore, since Lei Ting came to Nanjing City, her grandmother has been asking for her family affairs, and in just two or three days, she asked her aunt to take her to two families, both of which are famous families in Nanjing City, and Lei Ting's family is the right one.

Lei Ting was very interested in the blind date, but she couldn't resist her grandmother, so she had to follow her aunt to meet the two families.

The two families are very satisfied with the delicate and beautiful Lei Ting, and with the identity of Lei Tingcao as the eldest lady, it will definitely be a good marriage.

To tell the truth, the two men who went on a blind date with Lei Ting also looked dignified, and they were talented, how could Lei Ting's grandmother wronged her precious granddaughter?

But it's a pity that Lei Ting already has someone in her heart, so naturally it is impossible to take a fancy to those two men, and she copes with it in a humble and aggrieved manner, which can be described as exhausting.

She has already made up her mind, she will never come to Nanjing City again before getting married, blind date is simply a kind of torture for her who has been dancing with knives and sticks since she was a child, not only to dress up as a lady, but also to speak and behave according to the standards of a lady, far less calm and frank in front of Li Yuntian.

So, two days later, Lei Ting fled and left Nanjing City, but there were a few more strangers in the convoy than when she came, which also made Lei Ting's grandmother think that she didn't want to go on a blind date and ran away, and invisibly found a good excuse for her hurried departure.

Zhu Zhanji did not bring many entourages with him when he returned to the capital this time, and there were only five people in total, including three chamberlains and two guards.

Among the three chamberlains, Li Yuntian only knew Song Dashan, and the other two chamberlains were newcomers who had entered the East Palace not long ago like Song Dashan, while Zhu Zhanji's most trusted chamberlain Jin Ying stayed in Nanjing City to cover up.

As for the two guards, Li Yuntian knew them all, one was his brother-in-law, Zhou Yuting's second brother Zhou Feng, and the other was Li Manshan, and the two were specially selected and recommended to Zhu Zhanji by Li Yuntian.

First, because Zhou Feng and Li Manshan are absolutely trustworthy, and secondly, the two do not hold positions in the palace, even if they disappear for a period of time, they will not attract the attention of the outside world.

Of course, there is also the most important point, Li Yuntian wants Zhou Feng and Li Manshan to make a "meritorious service from the dragon" this time, and their future career will be bright. The update is the fastest and most stable

Zhu Zhanji thought that Li Yuntian's arrangement was reasonable, so he asked Zhou Feng and Li Manshan to serve as guards according to his plan.

Just when Li Yuntian and Zhu Zhanji and their entourage rushed from Nanjing to Yangzhou by boat to the north, they were in the private room of a teahouse in Beijing.

Cui Hui sat there anxiously drinking tea, just now he was working in the Metropolitan Courtyard, and suddenly received a letter from Lu Tianxing, so he hurriedly came here after changing his clothes, it seems that Lu Tianxing has found out some new information about Emperor Hong Xi.

Not long after, the door opened, Lu Tianxing walked in expressionlessly, walked straight to the table, poured a cup of herbal tea, and drank it in one go.

Seeing this, Cui Hui hurriedly stood up, judging from Lu Tianxing's expression, things seemed to be not optimistic.

"Look at it." After drinking the tea, Lu Tianxing took out two account books from his arms and handed them to Cui Hui, and then sat on the chair with a stern expression.

Cui Hui hurriedly flipped through the two account books, one of which recorded Emperor Hong Xi's diet this year, and the other recorded the status of the hospital's visits since last month.

Of course, these two account books are not the original records, they were originally kept in the palace, and Lu Tianxing brought a hand-copied version.

Judging from the dietary records, since Emperor Hong Xi fasted, the taste of the diet has changed significantly, and he used to like light and now he likes to be greasy.

There is nothing special about the hospital visits, everything is carried out step by step, there is no abnormality, and the medication is also in order.

"Little grandfather, it seems that the emperor may already be in the sky." Closing the two account books, Cui Hui pondered for a moment, and said to Lu Tianxing with a stern expression.

"That's what I thought about in this experience." Lu Tianxing nodded, frowned and said, "It's a pity that my father is in the palace now, there is no way to get close at all, and there is no one to preside over the overall situation." ”

Because Yang Shiqi and Lu Zhongqian protected the Dharma for Emperor Hongxi, they were cut off from the outside world, and the entire imperial garden was surrounded by pro-army, and not even a fly could fly in.

"Little Grandpa, they must be worried that Grandpa Guo will see the clues, so they found an excuse to imprison Grandpa Guo in the palace." Cui Hui thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "For today's plan, the little grandfather quickly notified the King of Han, and asked Wu Ninghou and An Wuhou and other adults to take corresponding measures to welcome the King of Han into the city." ”

"This experience makes people take these two account books to inform the king of Han." Lu Tianxing picked up the account book on the table and explained to Cui Hui with a stern expression, "This matter is very important, don't disclose it to anyone, just in case." ”

"Don't worry, little grandfather, the lower officials understand." Cui Hui bowed his hand to Lu Tianxing and replied solemnly.

Waiting for Lu Tianxing to leave, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Cui Hui's mouth, if Emperor Hong Xi is really Bintian, then this farce of fasting and praying for blessings is very likely to be Yankuai from Li Yuntian's handwriting, otherwise he would not be a "golden boy", he must be there to command and plan.

I have to say that Li Yuntian's hand is really high, if it weren't for the overheard of the discussion of the two waiters who delivered the meal, Cui Hui would never have imagined that Emperor Hong Xi's fasting would have another hidden secret.

This is that people are not as good as heaven, it seems that God is going to die Li Yuntian, and when the King of Han enters the city, it will be the day of his destruction.

Li Yuntian naturally wouldn't have thought that the two attendants would inadvertently leak the "heavenly secret" of Emperor Hong Xi's fasting, if he was given enough time, he would definitely try his best to arrange everything and try to avoid some unnecessary mistakes.

It's a pity that Emperor Hong Xi died too suddenly, and in his haste, Li Yuntian inevitably omitted some inconspicuous little things, and these little things were finally noticed by Cui Hui, a person with a heart, and then brought about the consequences of being strict.

After staying in Yangzhou for a night, Li Yuntian and his party boarded the big boat of the Cao Gang and went north along the canal.

Zhu Zhanji, like Li Yuntian, is now Lei Ting's entourage, wearing the clothes of his entourage, but Song Dashan and others brought a set of prince's clothes, so Zhu Zhanji can't be allowed to enter Beijing in the dress of his entourage.

Due to the death of Emperor Hongxi, Zhu Zhanji did not have the joy of being about to ascend the throne, but he seemed a little depressed, he knew how difficult it was for Emperor Hongxi to ascend to the throne under the watchful eyes of King Han and King Zhao, and he also knew how much suffering Emperor Hongxi had suffered.

Zhu Zhanji was in a bad mood, Li Yuntian naturally didn't bother him, and let Zhu Zhanji stay alone in the room, and he and Zhou Feng were catching up in his room.

Zhou Feng's mood was very comfortable, although he didn't know what Li Yuntian and Zhu Zhanji were doing, but if he could send Zhu Zhanji to Beijing City this time, then he would undoubtedly have made a great contribution.

And the reason why he was able to escort Zhu Zhanji back to Beijing was obviously the result of Li Yuntian's maneuvering, and he admired his brother-in-law more and more, and he had such a great influence on Zhu Zhanji.

Li Yuntian didn't tell Zhou Feng why he suddenly came to Nanjing City, and Zhou Feng didn't ask, he was born in a noble family, so he naturally knew what he should know, and he couldn't inquire about things that shouldn't be known.

At noon, Li Yuntian, Zhou Feng, and Li Manshan ate in a room, Zhu Zhanji's food was brought into his room, and Song Dashan and the three of them served him for dinner.

Not long after, Song Dashan and the three of them pushed the door and walked in, sitting at the table on the side, it turned out that Zhu Zhanji had no appetite, and let them retreat after eating a few bites of food.

"I don't know what the three lieutenants are called?" Li Yuntian felt that this was a good opportunity to contact the three of Song Dashan, Emperor Yongle and Emperor Hongxi had already begun to reuse the internal servants, and the three of Song Dashan would definitely be reused by Zhu Zhanji in the future, so he found an opportunity, arched his hand at the three people who were eating, and asked with a smile.

Zhongguan is the official name of the middle and senior eunuchs in the inner servant, and his status is equivalent to the young eunuch in the twenty-four yamen, and the three of Song Dashan are now just the close internal servants who are miscellaneous around Zhu Zhanji, not even a middle-level eunuch, how can they be a middle official? Li Yuntian's move is undoubtedly polite.

"Little Song Dashan, I've seen three adults." Song Dashan and the three of them hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and took the lead in saying to Li Yuntian.

"Little Han Kui, I've seen three adults." Immediately, the tall chamberlain on the left side of Song Dashan said respectfully.

"Little Wang Zhen, I've seen three adults." To the right of Song Dashan was a somewhat thin chamberlain, with a smile on his face, looking a little sleek.

"Wang Zhen?" Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, and he glanced at the somewhat emaciated chamberlain in surprise, then looked away, and said secretly in his heart.

In his impression, during the orthodox period, there was a eunuch in the Ming Dynasty who leaned towards the government and the opposition, which not only made the Manchu civil and military want to bow to him, and even almost took Yu Qian's life, but also led to the Ming Dynasty's fiasco in the battle of Tumubao, and the name of that eunuch was Wang Zhen.

Li Yuntian didn't know when Wang Zhen, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, entered the palace twenty years later, he only remembered that he was a native of Ulzhou, Hebei, and he was also a scholar before, proficient in poetry and books, but later he was hopeless in the examination and fame, and then castrated himself into the palace.

Considering the difficult journey in the Ming Dynasty and the proximity of Ulzhou to Beijing, Li Yuntian speculated that Wang Zhen should have entered the palace in Beijing.

If the Wang Zhen in front of him is the eunuch of the celebrant in the future, then he appeared in Nanjing at this time, and Yankuai, like Song Dashan, also followed Zhu Zhanji back from Beijing.

This time, Zhu Zhanji secretly went north and left Jin Ying and other cronies in Nanjing City, so Song Dashan, Wang Zhen, and Han Kui had the opportunity to follow Zhu Zhanji to Beijing City, and also gave the three of them a God-given opportunity to advance.

Although the civil and military officials in the court looked down on the chamberlains, thinking that they were eunuchs and it was difficult to get into the hall of elegance, Li Yuntian did not have the slightest disdain, and smiled and greeted Song Dashan there, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

This made Zhou Feng and Li Manshan feel very strange, thinking that as Li Yuntian, they should not be so polite to Song Dashan's inner servants, and they were also low-level inner servants, but since Li Yuntian had done this, then he must have his plans.

While talking and laughing, Li Yuntian secretly observed Wang Zhen, although this person now looks unattractive and very ordinary, but if he is really the famous power supervisor in the future, then he must deal with it carefully.

It seems that he is looking for an opportunity to find out the bottom of this person, Li Yuntian secretly made up his mind in his heart and decided to check Wang Zhen's life experience. One
