Father-in-law Lu smiled, shook his head, wrapped the beads, and said, "You are smart, but you only guessed half right, this bead is indeed related to Father-in-law Wang!" Father-in-law Chang interjected: "Don't sell it, hurry up!" Gonggong Lu rolled his eyes, saw me, and said: "This is a long story, and it is inconvenient, when I return to the palace, we will tell you in detail!" ”

I knew he was avoiding me, smiling and not saying a word. Father-in-law Lu looked at me, and suddenly said: "You kid is very clever and talented, we haven't asked you just now, how did this bead come from?" We followed the thief for most of the night, he is so cunning, not far from us, so that you can see it, but you can't touch it, how did you get it? Could it be that you are the one who entered the palace? ”

As he spoke, his face suddenly became ugly, I was taken aback, I didn't expect that they would pull it on me, and just now I praised me for giving it away, I couldn't help but look at Grandpa Gao, Grandpa Gao smiled, and said, "Old Lu, don't scare the child, Zhang Ying, tell me, what's going on?" ”

I think this matter must not be hidden from everyone, and Mu Shigu must also avoid the pursuit of the three of them, I simply said it again, just took the competition with me, and Mu Shigu was injured and left.

But they listened to my words and were silent for a long time. I was very surprised in my heart, and Grandpa Lu suddenly said: "Old Gao, let's not want this bead!" ”

Gao Gonggong was a little reluctant, and said: "This, we are boasting in front of the prince, and it is not good for us to go back!" ”

Chang Gong said: "Losing face and being humiliated are all trivial matters, but your life is your own." I heard that the man surnamed Mu has a ruthless approach, but it is not our work to recapture the beads, and the man surnamed Mu may not look for us, not to mention that it is not easy for him to find us when we enter the palace. ”

Gonggong Lu shook his head and said, "Don't forget, he is the night pearl of the palace thief, where else can we hide?" Unless he dies, we will be at peace! ”

You say a word, I say a word, babbling, they let me listen confused, for a long time, before I quieted down. I tried to ask why, but they wouldn't say.

The snow outside finally stopped, and the sun showed a smiling face after a long absence, and the sunlight shone through the window lattice, illuminating the entire hall. Looking out, the heaven and earth can be described as covered in silver, which is extraordinarily enchanting.

The hall was a lot brighter, and I took a closer look at the three fathers-in-law, and found that the sleeves of their robes were a little shabby, and the smell of their bodies was particularly unpleasant, and the three of them had been hesitating, looking at the beads for a while, looking at each other for a while, and the three pairs of eyes were turning around. I gradually understood the thoughts of the three of them, and I was afraid that Mu Shigu would retaliate against them, and I was reluctant to take the beads to receive the reward. Although I thought it was funny, I still got up and said, "Three fathers-in-law, I caused this incident, if Mu Shigu came to find someone to settle the account, it would naturally be counted on my head." As for the beads, they will definitely ask for them, so you can take them with confidence, and I will bear all the responsibilities together! The three of them were overjoyed and whispered a few words in a low voice, and Grandpa Lu suddenly raised his voice and said to everyone: "This matter is a major event in the palace, you are all little cubs of Jinyiwei, and you can't talk nonsense to the outside world." Whoever leaks the news will lose his head! ”

I felt more and more funny, and my brothers were holding back their strength not to laugh, so I cleared my throat and said, "My father-in-law has spoken, everyone must remember that this matter is over, and the right has not happened!" He said to the three of them: "Father-in-law, please rest assured, we are all on errands, and this matter is over!" Gonggong Lu nodded with satisfaction, and when the snow stopped, he beckoned Lao Qiu to prepare a horse and return to the capital. I politely sent them out, Lu Chang and the others regained their seriousness when they came, and shook their mink robes carefully, not even looking at us, and Gao Gonggong seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, looked at me, and the other brocade guards, hesitated for a moment, and only said: "You should be more careful on the road!" ”

The snow is very thick, and people walk on it, which can be described as faltering. And it was very cold, the horses spit white air, the three of them turned over and got on the horses, looking extremely bulky, and then waved the horsewhip, jumped like a bird, full of spring breeze, and went straight to the direction of the capital. I watched them drift away, and I was still thinking about that Mu Shigu in my mind, and I didn't know where he went. My people gathered around me one after another, and they could see a kind of awe in their eyes. Ning Boyang came to me, looked up and down, and said, "The beads were given to them like this?" I nodded and said, "If you don't give it to them, can you keep it?" ”

Then he remembered that he knew them, and smiled unconsciously and said, "How do you know them?" Ning Boyang smiled mysteriously and said, "By chance, I saw them in Jinyiwei, but they didn't know me!" "I was shocked in my heart, the Jinyi Wei who I entered with Ning Boyang was doing things together, almost inseparable, he could see it, why didn't I see it, he smiled again: "You forgot the time of the first emperor, Gonggong Li in the palace, didn't he commit suicide because of the matter of Neiku?" The first emperor was furious and put all the father-in-law who knew about it in the edict prison, including the three of them, all of whom were under Gonggong Li. Presumably it was a meritorious service, and God blessed them to find the beads on this snowy day, so they really found it. ”

I vaguely remember that Yue Ziqian said that day, someone took away the three fathers-in-law, it turned out to be the three of them, we couldn't help but look at each other and smile, Ning Boyang said: "They are here for the beads, if you knock on him, it's okay!" I was startled, looked at him, and said, "You're crazy, they're Dongchang!" Ning Boyang nodded and said, "I know, although they are from Dongchang, they may not be better than us!" ”

I was even more puzzled, and said, "You are a brother, and you don't explain anything clearly, what is going on?" Ning Boyang smiled slightly and said, "You really don't know!" I thought you knew, yes! He dragged me somewhere else and talked about it.

It turned out that the three fathers-in-law all entered the palace during the Chenghua period, and the most famous eunuch among those eunuchs was what they often called Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi is smart and clever, and his style is decisive, because he entered the palace at a young age, he was favored by Emperor Chenghua and Wan Guifei, who had just lost their children. Although Wang Zhi was young, he was shrewd and capable, deeply taught, often traveled around the world, understood the world's major events, was ordered to be a supervisor, and followed the famous general Wang Yue on the expedition, which can be described as life and death. Later, the West Factory was established, which made officials of all sizes talk about Wang and turned the world upside down in officialdom. Although Emperor Chenghua had a bad reputation, in the last years of his reign, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty recovered well, and there were neither external troubles nor internal worries, which laid a good foundation for Hongzhi Zhongxing.

If power dominates the world, it will naturally invite disaster, which is an eternal truth. Whether it is Cao Cao, who is a capable minister who rules the world, Cao Cao, who is a hero in troubled times, or Zhuge Liang, who has done his best and died, his high merit will inevitably cause the monarch's disgust. Wang Zhi's behavior, the emperor was supportive at the beginning, but because of the disgust of the civil officials, coupled with the addition of oil and vinegar from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the emperor's vigilance was aroused, and the Xichang was soon revoked, and Wang Zhi was finally arranged to Nanjing, to be an idler, and then there was no trace, no one knew where he went, and I heard that when he left, he also took away a large number of rich treasures. After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, the eunuchs, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were particularly strict, and the lessons of the eunuchs' dictatorship, as well as the ancestral teachings of Emperor Taizu, were finally implemented in Emperor Hongzhi. In the Hongzhi Dynasty, the eunuchs were all well-behaved and did not dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step.

Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, and the Eight Tigers quickly gained power, especially that Liu Jin, who had always been by the emperor's side, but he wanted to go to the celebrant supervisor, and then go to the east factory, and even planned to restore the west factory, but it was only hindered by the eunuch Wang Yue, who was in charge of the eunuch Wang Yue. Wang Yue is quite righteous, and has a close relationship with Xie Qian, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others in the current dynasty, and has always been unaccustomed to the arrogance of Liu Jin and others. Both sides are looking for opportunities to bring down the other, and the way to bring down the other is to find the other's faults.

I began to listen a little dazed, these things were not too close to me, I was just an errand boy, doing what I was told. Although sometimes when I follow and monitor the officials, I also know that the person who directs us is Dongchang, but we must obey. The assassination of Mu Bin can be said to be my first shot, although it failed, but I later vaguely felt that there will be more such cases in the future, we are just a knife, where others tell us to cut, we have to cut it!
