Wang Chengen tried his best to find two people for the emperor, why did these two people say that they had to go to great lengths? Because it is really difficult to find a master who is familiar with the emperor in the palace, and it must be to ensure that this person is loyal to himself and the emperor! You must also go through martial arts! Only by meeting these three conditions can he not only protect the emperor, but also not leak the Xunlou to his nephew.

Regarding the fact that the emperor became his nephew, Wang Chengen could only smile bitterly in his heart!

"Gao Dewei, Gao Demeng, although you two brothers have not been in the Ouchi guard for a short time, our family wants to send an errand to the two of you." Wang Chengen hid his hand in his cuffs and kept silent.

These two people were selected by Wang Chengen after repeated deliberation in the list of forbidden troops, these two people are not only high in martial arts, but also loyal to the royal family, in an accident of fire in the outer palace, two people made meritorious contributions and were rewarded as internal guards, but because they are not good at being a man, they don't know how to be flexible, and they have not entered Wei Zhongxian's power system because of their merits.

No one is perfect, Wang Chengen still puts the emperor's safety first!

"Prince, if there is anything to order, our brother should serve the court with the court's money!" It was his younger brother Gao Demeng who spoke, and his brother didn't like to talk more than him.

Wang Chengen nodded, "I have a sister, I just found it recently, my sister is just a son, and our family is just such a nephew, I want you to be his attendant, I don't know if you want to?" ”

The younger brother Gao De glanced at his elder brother Gao Dewei, and then said to Wang Chengen, "Princess, dare to ask, is this a business or a private matter?" What kind of official position does this nephew hold? We have a ministry in Ouchi. ”

Wang Chengen said lightly: "It's a business matter, the emperor has been vigorously reforming the court system recently, and all aspects are stepping up actions, you should have heard of this, right?" The Governor is now in charge of the Inner Territory, and there are many important matters, if you can't be separated, you will have to take care of the Governor, do you say this is a public or private matter? This nephew of this governor is the attendant of this governor, you are his attendant, and his position is the small banner of the brocade guard, do you understand now? ”

Gao Dewei and Gao Demeng glanced at each other again, and Gao Demeng replied respectfully, "The villain is too talkative, and he is willing to serve the factory!" ”

Although the two agreed, they were a little resentful in their hearts, they were both sixth-grade officials, and how could they be convinced to give a small flag from the seventh rank as an attendant?

Wang Chengen saw it in his eyes, but it was inconvenient to be strict, their attitude was actually beneficial to cover up the identity of the emperor! "This is the time to test the ability and loyalty of the two of you, as long as the errand is done well, the monthly salary is silver, and the old man will add three times more!"

Gao Dewei and Gao Demeng were overjoyed, not only a matter of silver, but also as Wang Chengen, to give two people extra monthly allowances, this is a matter of face! He agreed in unison: "Thank you for your appreciation!" ”

A hidden courtyard in the inner palace, the appearance is a little dilapidated, because of the long-term uninhabited relationship, but the inside is renovated, this courtyard is not connected with other places, the palace maids and eunuchs are also selected by Wang Chengen from the old cronies of the Xinwang Mansion.

"Your Majesty, this is it." Wang Chengen led the way for Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen was a little nervous and a little excited, although he had a hundred years of memories in modern times, but after coming to ancient times, he had unconsciously returned to his identity as an emperor, no matter how long he stayed in modern times, this feeling of being an emperor was the most unforgettable for him.

This is a row of small courtyards with four entrances and four exits, Wang Chengen did not arrange eunuchs in it for privacy and safety, and the palace maids and eunuchs who served were only in the outer courtyard.

The two of them entered the inner room, and Wang Chengen swirled the vase on a closet in the study, and the closet slowly opened! "Your Majesty, this is the secret way!"

Zhu Youzhen looked at it, "Won't anyone know?" ”

Wang Chengen pondered and replied, "Even if there are few people who know, the safety of both ends of this secret passage can be guaranteed, but the old slave still has to persuade the emperor to dispel the idea of leaving the palace, right?" If there is anything, the old slave will do it, and he must report it to His Majesty in detail afterwards, isn't this the same? ”

Zhu Youzhen ignored Wang Chengen, happily stepped into the secret passage, looked around, it was cleaned up by Wang Chengen, and the decoration was good, all of them were carved with good stone, obviously some age, presumably the monarch of the Yuan Dynasty made it possible.

Out of the end of the secret passage, Wang Chengen pushed away the front barrier, it turned out to be a closet, this exit is the courtyard outside the palace given to Wang Chengen by Emperor Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen secretly calculated the distance of the secret passage, almost three or four miles away, not too short.

Wang Chengen restored the closet to its original state, "Your Majesty, this is the outer house you gave to the old slave, it is quite bright, and then outside is the barracks of the forbidden army, and the safety problem is safe!" It is also a courtyard with four entrances and four exits, the innermost courtyard, the old slave does not allow anyone to approach, and the yard will be cleaned by the old slave himself in the future. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Big companion, thank you for your hard work!" With such a secret pathway, what else are you worried about? Did you find the two people you were looking for? ”

Wang Chengen hesitated, "I found it, but these two people are a little rebellious, and the old slave hasn't made up his mind yet!" I'm afraid they won't be able to accommodate the emperor. ”

Zhu Youzhen immediately understood what Wang Chengen meant, "Most things in the world can't have the best of both worlds!" It's okay, I'm a seven-rank little flag! We're all colleagues. ”

Wang Chengen smiled awkwardly, knowing that he could no longer dissuade the emperor, so he had to help Emperor Chongzhen put on simple makeup, and then put on the flying fish suit that had long been ready to stop, and put on the emperor's delicate mask that was customized by the master of Ouchi, and now there is indeed no one who can recognize this person as the emperor! Because the emperor's figure is moderate, it is difficult to be found in the crowd if he does not show his face. Zhu Youzhen's height of one meter and seventy-four is almost all around this height of the eunuchs and guards in Bauhinia City.

Zhu Youzhen looked in the mirror with satisfaction, "Let's go." To get down to business, I haven't been to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division in person! I'm going to see what this legendary institution looks like today. ”

Wang Chengen sighed, "This place is the dirtiest and cleanest yamen in the world, why do you say that, all the officials who commit crimes are probably the opponents of Jinyiwei, and they can't get out if they go in!" In a few days, it will disappear from this world without a trace, leaving no trace! Therefore, this yamen is the dirtiest and cleanest yamen in the world. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and didn't say anything, in fact, how is officialdom not like this? The appearance looks the cleanest in the world, but the inside must be the dirtiest in the world. He is no longer the idealistic emperor he was at the beginning, but a political veteran who has seen the ugly face of officialdom for a hundred years in modern times!

The brothers Gao Dewei and Gao Demeng, who were waiting in the outer courtyard, were shocked when they saw Wang Chengen bring a masked man, knowing that this person must be the nephew of the factory father, but why do you want this costume? Pretending to be a ghost is so unbelievable!

Wang Chengen was also thinking about how to correct his attitude at this time, "Xun Lou, these two are the attendants specially selected by the old man for you, they are both strong in martial arts, you must cooperate well in the future and contribute to the court together!" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled, but others couldn't see it, "Yes, Wang Gonggong, Jian Xunlou will definitely try his best to run errands for the imperial court, thank you Wang Gonggong for cultivating." "He can't really call Uncle Wang Chengen, Zhu Youzhen still understands the things on the official side.

Gao Dewei and Gao Demeng said that the truth is not the relationship between nephews and uncles? It's not that we don't know. "My subordinates will definitely try their best to assist the inspector and do a good job for the imperial court."

Wang Chengen snorted, and said in his heart, according to this point of view, the identity of the emperor is really not easy to be recognized, these two big internal guards are human spirits, they can't see through it, and outsiders naturally can't see through it! "Remember, you just want to convey the words of the old man, safety first, and don't act recklessly!"

Zhu You stood in front of Gao Dewei and Gao Demeng, and the three of them said in unison, "Yes!" ”

Wang Chengen walked very uncomfortably, this is the first time to walk in front of the emperor! It's not comfortable to get on the sedan chair, he takes the sedan chair, and the emperor wants to ride a horse, what is this called? A group of more than 30 people lined up to go to Fusi in Beizhen. With Wang Chengen's identity, this honor guard queue is considered a small standard. Wang Chengen didn't want to be too conspicuous.

Jinyi Wei are all human spirits, and they have long known the news that Wang Chengen is coming, except for the governor Tian Ergeng who said that he was sick at home, and the other adults are all in the yamen, such an extraordinary period, everyone is waiting for the attitude of the court and the emperor with their tails between their legs, and they don't know whether their future prospects are bright or dark?

More than 400 officials, led by Cui Yingyuan, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Sun Yunhe, the criminal officer of Dongchang, respectfully greeted Wang Chengen outside the Fusi Gate in Beizhen.

Zhu Youzhen saw this scene, and secretly said that Wang Chengen's pomp outside the palace was even bigger than that of himself, who was the emperor, in the palace! He looked at everyone in the palace from the top down, and now the angle has changed, and when he looks from the bottom up, he naturally feels that everything is fresh.

Wang Chengen walked out of the sedan chair with a smile, and did not look at Zhu Youzhen behind him, he knew that the more he regarded the emperor as not existing, the better it would be for the emperor, thinking about how to make things as boring as possible, let the emperor see, dealing with a group of subordinate officials is actually a very boring thing, and the emperor will try to minimize his interest in leaving the palace in the future!

"How's that guys? It's been a while since I've come to calm down the Yamen, and everyone is in good spirits. Wang Chengen's attitude was indifferent, with a big demeanor.

Zhu Youzhen said secretly, in all fairness, no one in the world is as good as a eunuch in terms of pretending kung fu! Wang Chengen was one when he talked to me, and when he came out, he was another, but he didn't lose the majesty of the royal family!

Cui Yingyuan and Sun Yunhe are both in their fifties, the same age as Wang Chengen, at this time they are like two well-behaved sons, holding Wang Chengen's wrist on the left and right, Cui Yingyuan smiled flatteringly, "Princess, you are always willing to come to our Jinyi Guard Yamen, don't mention how happy you are!" On this cold day, hurry in and bake the fire, the subordinate wants to kill his father-in-law! ”

Of course, Sun Yunhe also knew that Wang Chengen was now the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, the head of the eunuchs in the world! It has been a few days since the emperor recently ordered Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun to jointly rectify the news of the celebrant supervisor, and now when he sees Wang Chengen coming out in person, he can't wait to hold his heart and liver for Wang Chengen to see! "Father-in-law, sit inside, the minister has prepared a good three-tip for his father-in-law. Just now I learned that my father-in-law was coming, and I was so happy that the minister didn't know what to say, so he had ordered someone to go to Dalongfu Temple to fetch a mountain spring to make tea for his father-in-law. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally looked forward to the princess. ”

Wang Chengen smiled and glanced at the high-ranking officials of the Jinyi Guard beside him, "The two adults are too polite, right?" Let's just feel free, don't bother too much, just sit down and leave, this brocade guard's errand, or do you have to trouble the two adults to bother more, what? Lord Tian is still in a bad body, didn't he come to duty? Ning Guogong and Dong Anhou didn't seem to come either? ”

Cui Yingyuan said with a smile, "Yes, Lord Tian is over seventy years old, and he often feels unwell, Ning Guogong and Dong Anhou seem to have been sick for a few days, and they can't go out for a while." ”

Among Wei Zhongxian's clansmen, there were 17 people who commanded the Jinyi Guard, and many of his grandsons and in-laws were officials to the left and right governors, as well as the governors and governors. His nephew Wei Liangqing has the highest status, and he is the Duke of Ning and the Taishi. Another nephew, Wei Liangdong, was named Dong'an Hou, plus the crown prince Taibao, and his nephew Wei Pengyi was named An Pingbo, plus a young master. The latter two are still infants.

Nominally, Wei Zhongxian himself, in addition to the duties of the chief eunuch of ceremonies and the eunuch of the East Factory, also entered the Shanggong and the third rank of Jiaen. Moreover, there is the seal given by Xizong, and the text says "Gu Ming Yuanchen". In reality, his power is much more than that. He himself is called 9,000 years old, and his statue is bowed five times and three times. The most sensational event is that Wei Zhongxian went to Zhuozhou to enter the incense, "the iron cavalry is like a cloud, the python jade follows the bright sun, climbs and paging, clears the dust and cushions the road, everyone thinks that Zhuozhou is lucky, and its return, to the public opinion is late, change to drive four horses, feathers and green covers, and protect the double cover, it has been like taking advantage of the public opinion." Where the grass is sparse in the court, Li Yongzhen will send people to gallop quickly, that is, a hundred miles away, and also go back and forth in a day, conveying Wei Zhongxian's intentions, and the ticket will dare to wholesale.

Although Wei Zhongxian was placed under house arrest by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen! There is no contact with the outside world, but in fact his power has not been reduced! Because Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen hasn't figured out how to get rid of it! In the past, he acted a little recklessly, although the reduction was quite clean, but the loss was great, so that some of Wei Zhongxian's anti-party slipped through the net, Wei Zhongxian's secret faction system went down the drain, and Wei Zhongxian's huge private property had already been transferred! Therefore, after the rebirth, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was determined to treat Wei Zhongxian's problem carefully! No more recklessness!
