After dinner, Yun Yuhong returned to the palace with the clever ghost and the unlucky ghost, but she only walked around the palace once, and when she waited for about three watches, she changed into her night clothes and slipped out again.

In the past two days, Yun Yuhong has been inquiring about Wang Youdao, although Bai Ziyu does not approve of contacting Wang Youdao now, for fear of startling the snake, but Yun Yuhong feels that ignoring it seems too ruthless, and it chills the hearts of loyal ministers, so he discussed it again today and found some solutions.

After the evening drink, Yun Yuhong asked Qianzong why Wang Youdao was demoted to the East City Gate to guard the door, Qianzong just sighed, Dao himself was incompetent. It turned out that when the first emperor was there, he ordered the four military candidates to guard the border pass, and they were not allowed to return to Beijing without a recall, this was to stabilize the border pass, and the second was to not want the four candidates to be involved in the partisan disputes in the imperial court. In the eyes of an emperor, it is never a good thing for a high-ranking minister to get too close to a military commander with a heavy army, because this is often the beginning of a quest for power and usurpation of power. It's a pity that when it came to Qianzong, the interests of the civil and military ministers had been tied up by their in-laws, which had recently created a situation in which the powerful ministers were powerful and the imperial power was weak. Not long after Yun Yuhong left, the four martial artists took turns to the book Qianzong, saying that they were old and missed their families; Second, there is no war on the border for the time being, so there is no need to hold it for a long time; I asked Qianzong to cancel the order that he could not return to Beijing without recall, so that all the waiting masters could return to Beijing to reunite with their families. The ministers should have been informed of this matter in advance and helped to say good things, but they all seconded it, and Qianzong began to hesitate. Back in the imperial study, Wang Youdao persuaded Qianzong not to hesitate, and resolutely refused to allow it under the pretext of "the first emperor's dictation, change it to be unfilial". Qianzong didn't want to be sure, but he still couldn't resist the joint pressure of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and finally canceled the order that the four military candidates could not return to Beijing without permission. And Wang Youdao's exhortation was passed on by a small eunuch, Wang Youdao naturally became the public enemy of the four Houfu, these people kept looking for trouble with Wang Youdao, and repeatedly retaliated against him, so that Wang Youdao's official position was degraded again and again, and finally, Wang Youdao became a gatekeeper at the East City Gate.

Qianzong was very guilty, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Yun Yuhong, Yun Yuhong comforted: "You can't blame your father, the situation is stronger than people, and you can't do anything, but as long as he is a loyal minister, my father still has to bring him up." Qianzong felt better.

Yun Yuhong then asked: "How long has Wang Youdao been guarding the city gate, but he is still at the east city gate?" ”

Qianzong didn't know, Yun Yuhong called Defu to ask again, only to know that Wang Youdao had been guarding the city gate for three years, but he had not left the east city gate.

Yun Yuhong knew it when he heard it, as long as he didn't leave, it meant that he hadn't given up yet. With Wang Youdao's ability, if nothing else, just that martial arts, he is not afraid of running out of food anywhere, and he will not be a gatekeeper for three years, and if he does not leave, it shows that he is still waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

After Yun Yuhong left the palace, he went straight to Wang Youdao's house, of course, Wang Youdao's home is no longer the Commander's Mansion in the south of the city, but a small courtyard with only three old earthen houses in a small alley in the east city.

When Yun Yuhong came to Wang's house, the lights in the house were still on, and a woman of about forty years old and a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old were doing show work under an oil lamp.

A swarthy young man in his twenties dragged his tired body in, he looked at his mother and sister under the light, lowered his head, took out two copper coins from his arms, handed them to his mother and said: "Mother, this is today's salary, the ship came late today, and there are many goods, and it has been unloaded until now, so come back later, so my mother and sister are worried."

Mrs. Wang took the copper coin, pointed to the steamed buns on the table and said, "There is food there, hurry up and eat and rest early." Alas, you are all affected by your father, so that you can only sell coolies, and you were also pampered and raised up..."Mrs. Wang burst into tears when she thought of her sadness.

Wang Lekai hurriedly said: "The child is a person who practices martial arts, and this little physical work is nothing."

Wang Huilin was also busy comforting: "Mother, don't be sad, our show is selling better and better, and the days will get better and better." You see, today there are matchmakers who come to the door to say goodbye to my brother, and when I have a sister-in-law, the family can only be more prosperous. ”

Wang Lekai said: "My family affairs are not in a hurry, I am a man, it's okay to be late, but my sister has to find a good family early, mother, you will talk to the matchmaker next time."

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment before saying, "You two are not young anymore, if it weren't for your father's business, you would have already started a family." Now we don't have anything to pick and choose from. This time, the matchmaker also mentioned Hui Lin's family affairs, talking about the boss of the street leather shop, there are two shops, and the people are also diligent and honest, the original partner died of a serious illness a year ago, leaving behind a daughter..."

"Mother, a small businessman, if you want to be talented, you want to be unattractive, such a person is too wronged to be assigned to his sister." Wang Lekai hurriedly interjected.

"It looks good, brother, you still think I am a daughter, such a family is rare, married close to home, you can come back often to see, I think it's okay." Wang Huilin said with a smile, looking very agreeable, but everyone else knows that which daughter doesn't want to talk about family affairs, and is shy, such calmness is too fake.

Yun Yuhong is also sighing in her heart, the Wang family is good, not only their loyalty, but also the intimacy between the family members, supporting each other, after seeing through the things that those big family members calculate each other, use their children as chess pieces, and often abandon the pawn and the car, Yun Yuhong prefers such a family and such a person from the family. Of course, when the Yu Wang family fell to such a point, Yun Yuhong also felt a little guilty, after all, it was her father who was weak and couldn't keep such a loyal minister.

There was silence in the room, and at this time, there was another sound of footsteps, and Wang Youdao walked in wearing a soldier's clothes.

Compared with Yun Yuhong's impression of the commander of the inner guards, Wang Youdao is much older, his face is wrinkled, and his hair is a little gray.

Mrs. Wang told Wang Youdao about the two children's relatives, Wang Youdao sat on the chair for a long time without speaking, and finally raised his head and said to the two children: "It's my father who is sorry for you, you are all old, you can't delay any longer, just do what your mother wants."

The Wang family had no objections, but Yun Yuhong did not agree: "It's not a good family matter, what to do to wronged them, since they have been delayed, then wait a little longer, their family affairs will be handed over to me, I guarantee that they will marry Ruyi and marry beautifully."

Yun Yuhong climbed in through the window under the gaze of the four people in the house. Wang Youdao and Wang Lekai dodged in front of Mrs. Wang and Wang Huilin.

Wang Lekai shouted: "What person?"

Wang Youdao looked at Yun Yuhong carefully, but was silent.

Yun Yuhong chuckled, slapped at Wang Lekai, Wang Lekai flashed back, the two fought in the house, after more than 20 moves, Yun Yuhong withdrew his hand and stood aside, Wang Lekai still wanted to do it but was stopped by Wang Youdao.

Yun Yuhong smiled: "Your skills are not bad, let's be a guard for me first." As for your daughter, I like it too, so it's better to come with me and be a female officer. ”

Wang Youdao hesitated: "You are... Eldest princess?"

Yun Yuhong took off the masked scarf, revealing a beautiful but domineering face. Wang Youdao's family of four hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Yun Yuhong asked the four of them to get up, and said to Wang Youdao: "I know that your family has suffered a lot of grievances over the years, and my father and I have it in mind, if you endure it for a few more days, I will return everything you deserve."

Wang Youdao said: "These are the responsibilities of the minister, I don't dare to keep the saint in mind, but the minister has been looking forward to the eldest princess returning to Beijing, so that the minister can share the worries of the saint again."

Yun Yuhong nodded: "How many of the guards in the palace are yours?"

Wang Youdao sighed: "It's been changed over and over again in the past few years, many brothers have left, and there are less than ten people I can contact."

Yun Yuhong frowned at first and then relieved: "It's okay, the commander of this big internal guard is still yours, I don't need any of those in the palace, I will give you 5,000 men and horses, and after a while, they will gather in the mountains outside the East Gate City, you can secretly train and arrange, and the other 5,000 people you can find yourself first, you must be loyal and reliable, there are 100,000 taels of silver here, you take it and use it first."

Yun Yuhong took out a stack of silver tickets from her arms and handed them to Wang Youdao, but Wang Youdao hesitated: "There are other people's eyeliner around the minister, and letting the minister act will expose the eldest princess's plan."

Yun Yuhong said with a smile: "If you are exposed, you will be exposed, but I will not look for you when I come back, and I will not let you do something to make people feel strange, you don't let other people's eyeliner mix into your hands, even if you mix in, you must be able to know who it is." Be careful not to let people find out about the five thousand I have given you, at least not until you are transferred back to the palace. ”

Wang Youdao knew that Yun Yuhong had always had an idea. This little master has behaved differently since he was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius. So he took the silver ticket in Yun Yuhong's hand with confidence, "The minister must do his best not to insult the mission." ”

Yun Yuhong looked at Wang Lekai's brothers and sisters, and said to Wang Youdao: "What I just said also counts, your two children have been handed over to me, and the family affairs are also wrapped up in me, I will not treat them badly." Tomorrow I will ask Defu to deliver a decree announcing that the two of them will enter the palace on an errand, can you agree? ”

Wang Youdao's heart blossomed, he has always been an understanding person, Yun Yuhong is lifting his two children, as long as Yun Yuhong is well, the future of these two children is limitless, how can there be no agreement.

The lights in the courtyard of the Wang family were on for a long time, and they were not extinguished until Yun Yuhong left for a long time, and the large clouds in the sky floated away, revealing the soft moonlight shining in the courtyard, dispelling the cold and darkness, and everything became quiet and beautiful.
