Chapter 3 Things are not people, and Zhu Youxiao's changes
After Yuhuatian left the customs, he suddenly found that the atmosphere in the entire West Factory was very tense, and everyone seemed to be busy.
What's going on?
Yuhuatian couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Immediately, he instructed the two Xichang fans next to him to summon Tan Luzi and the others to see what was going on.
When they received the news that Yuhuatian was out of the customs, everyone was shocked, and then immediately put down what they were doing and rushed over.
Not long after, everyone gathered at the Yamen of the West Factory, including Cao Shaoqin.
This was the first time he had seen Yuhuatian, and he stared at the majestic and domineering white shadow on the Taishi chair, with a fiery look in his eyes.
In addition, there is also a hint of eager to fight!
The reason why he entered the West Factory was because he came to Yuhuatian.
Cao Zhengchun is already old, and he has long lost his enterprising spirit, and he can't look down on it at all.
If he wants to climb up, he must cling to the stronger.
But the premise is that this person is really worthy of his Cao Shaoqin's allegiance!
"Subordinates see the Overseer!"
Everyone gathered and saluted Yuhuatian, all of them looking excited.
Yuhuatian is not there, and they have no backbone.
Now that Yuhuatian is out of customs, they can finally rest assured!
"Get up!"
Yuhuatian waved his hand.
At this time, he also noticed Cao Shaoqin's fiery gaze, his gaze shifted to Cao Shaoqin's expression, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Who are you?" ”
Being able to appear here shows that it has at least been recognized by Tan Luzi and others.
But Yu Huatian had never seen this person.
Without waiting for Tan Luzi and the others to introduce, Cao Shaoqin strode forward, his eyes were blazing, and he arched his hand and said: "Humble Cao Shaoqin, please meet the overseer!" ”
Cao Shaoqin?
Hearing this name, Yu Huatian was shocked, and then a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The world is big, I'm the biggest?
But this person who does not enter the East Factory and Cao Zhengchun fights for power, what is he doing in my West Factory?
Yu Huatian bowed his head slightly and asked, "What kind of position do you have in the West Factory?" ”
Tan Luzi stepped forward and said: "Supervisor, Cao Shaoqin's ability to handle cases is not weak, and his martial arts are second only to Yan Shisan and Xia Xueyi, and he is between the big and second stalls, so his subordinates are not easy to arrange. ”
Yu Huatian nodded, then looked at Cao Shaoqin, and said, "Then from today on, you will follow this seat and temporarily serve as the head of the third gear." ”
As he spoke, Yu Huatian looked at Ji Xueyong again: "Xueyong, you retreat to the fourth gear." ”
The rules of the West Factory have always been that the capable go up and the weak go down.
Ji Xueyong knew that this would be the case, although he was bitter in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, and said respectfully: "My subordinates receive orders." ”
Cao Shaoqin's eyes showed a hint of excitement, and he stepped forward and saluted: "Humble and orderly!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu in front of him, and his eyes flashed with eager battle intent.
His life motto is: either don't fight; If you want to fight, you must fight for the first!
It's just a third-gear head, he is not satisfied, he wants to be a big stall head.
But before that, he has to prove that he is better than Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu!
"Humph!"
Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu looked at his gaze, and immediately understood what he meant, they both snorted coldly, turned around, ignored him, and didn't seem to care.
But in the hearts of the two, there was also a sense of urgency.
Especially Ding Xiu.
He also joined the West Factory later, and Yuhua Tian Li overrode public opinion and directly asked him to replace Tan Luzi's position and serve as the second head of the West Factory.
If he is squeezed down by Cao Shaoqin, he will lose his hair if he is embarrassed!
On the Taishi's chair, Yu Huatian noticed this scene, his face was calm, and he didn't stop it.
It's good to have competition.
Where there is competition, there will be pressure.
But only if everything is within the rules.
If anyone dares to break the rules, Yuhuatian doesn't mind taking action in person and setting rules for him.
As for Cao Shaoqin's unruly temperament, Yuhuatian didn't care.
When I entered the West Factory, the dragon had to lie on his stomach, and the tiger had to lie down.
If he doesn't accept it?
It doesn't matter, I'll make a move.
"Tell me, what's going on lately?"
After arranging everything, Yuhuatian Fang looked at Tan Luzi and asked.
When Tan Luzi heard this, he immediately stepped forward and told Yuhuatian what had happened during this time, as well as some of his own guesses.
After hearing this, Yu Huatian's brows furrowed slightly: "Do you suspect that someone is behind this matter and wants to use Ye Gucheng and Ximen to blow snow to duel and do something?" ”
Tan Luzi said in a deep voice: "Although no evidence has been found yet, there are too many people in the rivers and lakes who have recently entered Beijing, and as long as there are many people, it is inevitable that there will be chaos. ”
Yu Huatian nodded slightly and asked, "What is the movement over there in the Nanwang Mansion and the Ning Wangfu?" ”
Tan Luzi replied: "During this time, they are still secretly attracting some masters of the rivers and lakes, but there is no other movement. ”
Yu Huatian was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "No need to check, just stare at them to death, in addition, let people pay attention to the situation of the major generals, see if there is any place to mobilize troops, if there is, directly send someone to behead and control the military power!" ”
Although no evidence was found, Yuhuatian was extremely sure that Ye Gucheng would definitely take advantage of the duel with Ximen to blow the snow and unite with the Nanwang Mansion to rebel and change the sky.
It's just that Ning Wangfu also intervened, which Yuhuatian didn't expect.
But it doesn't matter, no matter who they are, as long as they dare to move, they will only end up with a dead end!
The capital is the territory of his rain field!
As long as he's here, no one wants to make trouble here!
"Yes!"
Tan Luzi nodded, and then said: "Overseer, there is one more thing, in recent months, the emperor's physical condition has deteriorated day by day, and the queen mother is worried about the emperor...... In the future, there was no one to inherit the throne, so many concubines were selected for the emperor to enter the palace. ”
"Nonsense!"
Yuhuatian's face sank: "Your health is not good, and you still choose a concubine for the emperor?" Is this because the emperor died fast enough? ”
The crowd was silent and did not answer.
Yu Huatian dared to say this, but they didn't dare to discuss it.
"But what's going on with the emperor's body? Didn't the previous incident of falling into the water mean that there was no root cause of the disease, and as long as you cultivate well, you can recover? Why is it getting worse and worse? ”
Yu Huatian frowned, and said, "Didn't this seat ask Cao Zhengchun to investigate this matter?" What didn't he say? ”
Tan Luzi shook his head: "Gonggong Cao said that everything is normal around the emperor. ”
"Normal?"
Yu Huatian snorted coldly: "This seat looks at him as he gets older and more confused, if it is normal, will this be the case?" ”
Tan Luzi said in a deep voice: "Overseer, do you want to arrange for our people to investigate?" ”
Yu Huatian waved his hand: "No need, the power of this seat is already very big now, and he should be unhappy to release people to the emperor's side." ”
As he spoke, Yu Huatian got up and said, "Let's go and see for myself." ”
"These people in the rivers and lakes in the capital, keep an eye on it, don't relax your vigilance, whoever dares to make trouble, do it directly, don't have any worries."
"Yes!"
The crowd bowed their hands in awe.
……
After entering the palace, Yu Huatian found that the situation was much more severe than he thought.
He was in retreat for a year, and many things changed.
This year, Zhu Youxiao was not in good health, and he paid little attention to the government affairs, and the government affairs were basically handed over to the cabinet ministers.
And he took advantage of the situation to accept the queen mother's choice of concubine, and he enjoyed himself in the harem every day.
According to the secret son of the West Factory in the palace, during this time, Zhu Youxiao was obsessed with a beauty again, and he took it with him almost everywhere he went, singing every night, so unhappy.
The original favorite concubine Wan Guifei, because she has never been pregnant with a dragon son, now has a faint meaning of falling out of favor.
After learning about these circumstances, Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly.
Wan Guifei fell out of favor, he didn't care, after all, he didn't need to rely on Wan Guifei to gain a foothold in the court now.
But Zhu Youxiao's attitude is no longer the work of a Ming Jun, but a bit of a broken jar.
This situation is very dangerous!
If this continues, it won't be long before he can bring himself down.
At present, all his rights and positions come from Zhu Youxiao, so he can't die for the time being.
Yuhuatian doesn't ask him to be a saint, he just hopes that he will live well and not drag himself back, which is enough.
After inquiring about the situation clearly, Yuhuatian did not hesitate and rushed directly to Ningxiu Palace, where Zhu Youxiao was at the moment.
At this moment, the little eunuch waiting outside Ningxiu Palace is also a newcomer, because he is clever and knows how to read words and feelings, so he has been very pleasing to Zhu Youxiao recently, and he has been serving Zhu Youxiao all the time, and even other eunuchs with higher positions than him dare not offend him.
Because this is the case in the palace, the position does not represent anything, and whoever the emperor favors will have a higher status.
Hearing that someone asked to see him, the little eunuch snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "Don't you see that the emperor is busy?" Whoever it is, let him wait outside! ”
The eunuch who delivered the message reminded: "Father-in-law Liu, the person outside is Father-in-law of Xichang Yu. ”
"Father-in-law Yu? What kind of father-in-law do I care...... Well? Father-in-law Yu, is the father of the West Factory, Yuhuatian?! ”
The little eunuch didn't care about it at first, but suddenly seemed to realize something, and hurriedly asked.
The messenger nodded.
Seeing this, the little eunuch's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go and report it." ”
Although he relies on Zhu Youxiao's favor and trust, his status in the palace is not low at the moment, but he is self-aware.
As the head of the harem, and also the director of the West Factory, Yuhuatian, who holds real power, is not something he can afford to offend now!
At this moment, Zhu Youxiao was watching the performance in the palace, holding a woman with the best posture and appearance in his arms, and he was also very happy when he heard the news that Yuhuatian asked to see him, and hurriedly said:
"Let him in!"
Soon, Yuhuatian, dressed in a silver-white embroidered gold python robe and a silver cloak floating on his back, strode in.
Before entering the hall, he deliberately glanced at the little eunuch waiting at the door.
He also heard the words of this little eunuch outside the hall just now, but he never thought that in just one year, there would be such a talent around Zhu Youxiao......
was glanced at by Yuhuatian, the little eunuch was cold, he didn't dare to look at each other at all, lowered his head and said, "Father-in-law Yu, the emperor is already waiting for you inside." ”
Yu Huatian didn't say much, glanced at him again, and strode into the hall.
"Chenyu Huatian, see the emperor!"
After a year, when I saw Zhu Youxiao again, Yuhuatian's brows were tightly furrowed.
Because of what he saw with his own eyes, he could feel more clearly that Zhu Youxiao's physical condition at this moment was far more severe than he imagined.
His face was pale, and the sickness between his eyebrows couldn't be concealed at all, and even the whole person looked a lot thinner.
It's obviously terminally ill!
"Haha, Aiqing is here? I haven't seen you for a year, but I miss it so much, what has Aiqing gained from this retreat? ”
Zhu Youxiao laughed, although his body is not as good as before, his personality is much more cheerful than before, which is enough to show how much he has changed in the past year.
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minister has lived up to expectations and has successfully broken through."
Yuhuatian replied, and did not hide Zhu Youxiao.
Before he retreated, he had already told Zhu Youxiao what the purpose of his retreat was, otherwise he would disappear for a year without reason, even if he was the master of the celebrant and the seal of the superintendent, he would not be able to say.
"Haha! Good! ”
Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed: "Aiqing's martial arts breakthrough, my safety will be more guaranteed!" ”
As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao pointed to a tiger in front of him that was locked in an iron cage, and said with a smile: "Aiqing came just in time this time, I have a new tiger here, this is the king of all beasts, just now the beast bit to death a bear king that I raised before, what does Aiqing think?" ”
Hearing this, Yu Huatian looked at the spotted tiger, and his brows furrowed a little tighter.
Zhu Youxiao had never been so extravagant before, let alone raising tigers and fighting beasts.
It's clear that all of this stuff has only started in the last year!
But I have to say that the tiger is really big, and when you lie there, there is a domineering aura that belongs to the beastmaster.
At this time, the little eunuch at the door stepped forward with a flattering face and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a fierce beast on the Siamese side called the lion, and the slave and maid will find a Siamese merchant after a while and buy it for Your Majesty." ”
"Good, good! All expenses are taken directly from my inner vault. Zhu Youxiao said with a happy face.
As soon as these words came out, Yu Huatian immediately understood why Zhu Youxiao would become so extravagant.
It turned out that someone was instigating it!
Yu Huatian took a deep look at this little eunuch and remembered him completely.
"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that Gonggong Yu's martial arts are strong and famous, and I don't know if Gonggong Yu is strong or the king of beasts is stronger."
At this moment, the concubine who was taken by Zhu Youxiao's side suddenly said with a smile.
As soon as this sentence came out, Yu Huatian looked at her at a glance.
This glance suddenly made her cold, like falling into an ice cave.
"Aifei, Grandpa Yu is my right-hand man, how can he compare with this animal." Zhu Youxiao didn't notice Yuhuatian's purgatory-like eyes, and said with a smile.
"Yes, the concubine knows that she is wrong." The concubine hurriedly said.
At the same time, she was terrified in her heart, Yuhuatian's glance actually made her feel suffocated, and at that moment she seemed to feel the coming of death.
Yu Huatian's face was the same as old at this time, but his eyes were already cold, and he didn't pay attention to the little eunuch and concubine anymore, he arched his hand towards Zhu Youxiao and said: "I heard that the emperor has not been in good health recently, and it is better for the emperor to avoid being frightened by these dangerous activities." ”
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand indifferently: "This is an old problem, and it won't get in the way." ”
"Aiqing's coincidence of going out of the customs this time is just who is on the rivers and lakes next month...... Who's here? ”
Zhu Youxiao looked at the little eunuch next to him and asked.
The little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The Lord of Baiyun City, Ye Gucheng, and the white-clothed Sword Immortal are blowing snow at the West Gate. ”
"Ah, yes! It's these two people, they want to duel in the Forbidden City, I heard that these two people are not weak in the rivers and lakes, and many people in the rivers and lakes have heard the wind and come to watch this duel. ”
Zhu Youxiao said.
Yu Huatian nodded: "The minister has already heard about it." ”
"Haha! Well, with Aiqing by my side, I don't have to worry about security. Zhu Youxiao was very happy.
Yuhuatian arched his hand and said: "Then the minister will not disturb the emperor Yaxing, the emperor's illness, or listen to the arrangement of the imperial doctor, and the minister will also find a way to find some miracle doctors on the rivers and lakes to show the emperor these days." ”
"I understand, Aiqing, you can do it yourself."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
Seeing this, Yu Huatian didn't say anything more, he looked at the little eunuch and concubine again, turned around and walked out.
Leaving Ningxiu Palace, Yu Huatian stood at the door, thought about it, and did not leave the palace in a hurry, but turned around and walked towards Cining Palace.
……
Cining Palace.
Compared with the past, Cining Palace seems much more deserted at the moment.
Since the Queen Mother began to choose concubines for Zhu Youxiao, there are countless beauties who have entered the palace, and Zhu Youxiao has been fortunate enough to come to one of them every day, and slowly began to snub Wan Guifei, and the number of times he came to Cining Palace was also less.
Especially in the past few months, Zhu Youxiao has been pampering the beauty beside him, taking it with him wherever he goes, and he hasn't been to Cining Palace for a long time.
After a long time, the palace maids of Cining Palace also knew that Wan Guifei was about to fall out of favor, and many people left Cining Palace directly and went to other places to develop.
At this moment, the palace maids and eunuchs of Cining Palace have already walked more than half, and it seems that they are naturally not as lively as before.
There is no way, in this deep palace, it is so realistic.
As soon as Yuhuatian came to the outside of Cining Palace, he heard the voice of Concubine Wan scolding the palace maid from inside:
"You can't do this little thing well, what is the use of this palace raising you?"
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish, get out of here! ”
"And you, do you think that this palace has fallen out of favor and can't stay in this Cining Palace? Then get out of the way! ”
"Which palace is good for you to go, don't be an eyesore in front of this palace!"
"Slut! It's all sluts! ”
Then, there was a sound of smashing in the palace, and then several palace maids walked out with their heads down, and several of them still had tears on their faces and looked sad.
These are all old men from Cining Palace, and Yuhuatian also knows them, and when he saw this, he couldn't help frowning slightly: "Has she been like this all these days?" ”
"Huh?"
Several palace maids were startled at first, and when they looked up and saw Yuhuatian, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, their faces full of surprise, and they said:
"Slave maid meet Lord Rain!"
"Lord Rain, you're finally here!"
"Lord Yu, Niangniang, she has not been in a good mood recently, and there are many people in Cining Palace, so Niangniang is angry at every turn......"
Yu Huatian nodded slightly: "This seat knows, you go down first, and this seat will go in and have a look yourself." ”
"Yes!" Several palace maids saluted and left.
Yuhuatian pushed the door straight into the palace.
Bang –
As soon as he entered the door, a teacup flew from the front, followed by Wan Guifei's angry scolding:
"This palace told you to go, are you deaf?!"
Syllable!
Yu Huatian raised his hand to catch the teacup and said lightly: "It's not a good habit to get angry often, you get old quickly." ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Concubine Wan was stunned, and then quickly raised her head, her face full of surprise:
"Rival ......"
An hour later.
Wan Guifei was contented to lie in Yuhuatian's arms, and the resentment and anger on her face had long since disappeared.
"Wrongdoer, you are really ruthless, if you don't come once for so long, if you become the head of the harem, you won't look down on this Cining Palace."
Wan Guifei Yu stroked Yu Huatian's cheek with her hand and said with a look of fascination.
Yuhuatian said lightly:
"This retreat is because of the problem of martial arts, although I have become the head of the harem, but there are many people who want me to die, if I don't have enough strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to live now."
A trace of distress flashed in Concubine Wan's eyes, and she said:
"I can't imagine that our fates are so similar, in this deep palace, we don't have to worry about food or clothing, but we can't even control our own destiny."
As she spoke, Wan Guifei showed a trace of struggle on her face, and seemed to have made up her mind a lot, looking at Yuhua Tian Dao:
"Wrongdoer, take me away, let's get out of here, the world is big, it's good to go anywhere, I know you...... I don't care about my physical shortcomings, as long as I can be with you every day, I'll be satisfied. ”
Hearing this, Yu Huatian was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled, and said:
"Niangniang, it's easy to leave now, but are you willing to leave like this?"
"Moreover, I am now in charge of the harem, in charge of the entire East and West Second Factory and Jinyi Guard, and the fate of tens of thousands of people under my command is all in my hands, how can I leave like this?"
Wan Guifei said resentfully:
"I knew you couldn't bear your current rights and status."
"It's not reluctant."
Yu Huatian's face was cold, he looked up into the distance, his eyes were deep, and he said: "I have been fighting for this day for so long, just hoping that one day, I can control my own destiny and change this damn era!" ”
"Now hope is in front of me, I can't go, I can't go!"
As he spoke, Yuhuatian looked down at Wan Guifei and said:
"As for Niangniang, don't worry, as long as I am still in the palace for a day, absolutely no one will be able to shake Niangniang's status!"
Wan Guifei gritted her teeth and said:
"Jiang Yuyan, that slut, if it weren't for Liu Jin's dog to help her, how could the emperor snub the palace and be fascinated by her!"
"Jiang Yuyan, Liu Jin?"
Yuhuatian was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wan Guifei:
"You mean, the woman next to the emperor is called Jiang Yuyan? That little eunuch, called Liu Jin?! ”
Wan Guifei nodded, and said hatefully:
"This slut entered the palace half a year ago, and it is said that she is the daughter of Jiang Beihe, a great benevolent man in Anqing, and Liu Jin was also promoted by her to serve in front of the emperor, and she won the emperor's favor by patting the emperor's ass!"
The biggest villain in Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuji, Jiang Yuyan, is really her!
As for whether Liu Jin is the same Liu Jin, it is unknown.
But looking at the current situation, it should be eight or nine and ten!
Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly.
……
Back at the West Factory, Yuhuatian summoned Tan Luzi and instructed:
"The woman next to the emperor is called Jiang Yuyan, and the little eunuch who serves in front of the emperor is called Liu Jin, keep an eye on these two people!"
Liu Jin bewitched Zhu Youxiao and made his temperament change greatly, if this continues, Zhu Youxiao will be abolished by him sooner or later, so this person can't stay!
As for Jiang Yuyan, although she has not yet become the domineering villain in the original book at this moment, just saying that sentence to her in the palace today, Yu Huatian has already sentenced her to death in his heart.
It's just that at the moment, these two people are celebrities around Zhu Youxiao, even if they want to kill them, they have to consider Zhu Youxiao's thoughts.
So, it's not time yet.
"Yes!"
Tan Luzi arched his hand, and then asked, "Overseer, do you want to arrange for someone to enter the palace?" ”
"Not yet."
Yu Huatian shook his head and said: "I entered the palace today, and I didn't find any clues, maybe the emperor's illness has another reason." ”
Tan Luzi frowned and said: "But if it continues like this, my subordinates are worried that the emperor's body will not last long......"
Yu Huatian nodded, he also saw today that Zhu Youxiao was terminally ill at the moment, and if he continued to indulge like this, there would be two or three years left at most.
After a moment of silence, Yu Huatian got up and said:
"Invite all the miracle doctors on the rivers and lakes to the capital to see a doctor for the emperor!"
"The plan of this seat has not been completely perfected, and at this time, the emperor can't die yet!"
These chapters are mainly layout and planning, and the foreshadowing is done first, but the mastery is also fast.
