Outside the capital city, there is the Royal Courtyard.
In front of the small courtyard where the old man lived, under the grape trellis where young leaves had just sprouted, a large pot was being turned over.
Pu Bucheng was wearing a scarf, sitting on the bench and looking at the bubbling oil residue in the pot. The air was full of tempting sweetness.
Next to him, an old Taoist priest with a deer-headed head and rat-like eyes was stuffing firewood into the stove pit with an annoyed look on his face. When his back was turned to Pu Bucheng, his mouth moved silently, obviously saying something bad.
This old Taoist is Xi Yingzhen, who has been raised in Zhuangzi. In name, he lives here leisurely, but in fact, he is under house arrest in disguise.
"Damn it, grandpa must be happy when he is free all his life. When he gets old, he falls into the hands of the Zhu family's grandson. He is trapped in this yard all day long. Women are not free without wine. They look at people's faces everywhere. I did it.
What sin?"
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but shake his head, and continued to be annoyed in his heart, "You guys, you just can't show off. If you didn't save Zhu Laoba and let him die, how could there be so many troubles for grandpa later. It's hard to say where grandpa was at this time.
Have fun in the yard!”
Suddenly, Pu Bucheng's voice came from behind him.
"Slow down, the fire is too high and the water will dry out and the oil won't come out!" Pu Bucheng said in a low voice, "A good pot of suet has been wasted. See if the old man comes out and kicks you!"
Xi Yingzhen was stunned for a moment with a somewhat dark old face, then turned around and grinned, "Hey, people named Zhu eat lard, which is hard to say and not nice to hear!"
Pu Bucheng rolled his eyes, "If you have the ability, the old man will come out in a while. You can say it again!"
"Are you stupid for being a Taoist?" Xi Yingzhen also rolled his eyes, but then said with some worry, "You won't tell him, right?"
"Hurry up and get to work, stop mumbling!" Pu Bucheng glared at him, "If you keep nagging on and on, you won't be happy, and the Za family will put you in a pit for training!"
"You old eunuch!" Xi Yingzhen cursed in his heart, but then turned around to add to the anger.
When he made some movement with his hands, he couldn't help but look back and glanced behind him. Somehow, the dim light in the room made him tremble violently.
~~
In the room, the old man put his hands in his sleeves and leaned against the back of his chair.
He was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth robe, and he looked like a small landowner in the countryside.
Two sturdy figures knelt respectfully in front of him, with one on the left and one on the right burying their heads deeply.
On the left, the general is Ping An, the chief military officer of the capital camp.
On the right, Prince Consort Mei Yin, the former general manager of the Huaixi camp of Fengyang Zhongdu Remaining Division, the former chief training officer of Shandong Dusi and Henan Dusi, the former commander of the Central Army of the Fifth Army Commandant's Mansion, and the former commander of the Sixth Battalion of the Jingying Infantry Army. The current
, the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army in the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army is a false position.
Needless to say, Ping An is the adopted son of the old man. However, his adopted son is slightly different from the adopted son Mu Ying used to be. But in terms of loyalty, no one dares to say that he is the second best.
Mei Yin, the consort, is very strange in terms of official position. He has served as the chief officer of many key departments. He is the most elite unit of the Huaixi camp outside the Beijing camp. He was the sixth battalion of the early Beijing camp and was a strong soldier in the Beijing camp.
He is in the military. He also participated in military training at the Guards Station in Shandong and Henan, but now he is in vain.
His family is not simple. During the great chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Mei Yin's uncle, Mei Sizu, the founding Hou of Runan, was once the marshal of Wanhu in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The marshals of Wanhu were all powerful Han people. This background meant that he was better than those who
The traditional Huaixi nobles were better educated. Later, because Mei Sizu surrendered to Liu Futong, he asked Wang Baobao to chop his father into meat paste.
Although his uncle Mei Sizu was also ranked as a marquis, he was never one of the Huaixi nobles. Maybe he wanted to squeeze into the circle of Huaixi nobles, so he took the wrong path and kept leaning in the direction of Hu Weiyong. But
The strange thing is that this man died a good death in his later years.
There is an even stranger point here: Hu Weiyong was killed in the 13th year of Hongwu's reign, and Mei Sizu died of illness in the 15th year of Hongwu's reign.
At that time, the case of Hu Weiyong was afraid that it would not involve much, but if someone was involved, his family would be ruined.
How did Mei Sizu escape unscathed?
Something even stranger happened again. Not long after Mei Sizu's death, his son Mei Yi, the commander of the Liaodong capital, was involved in the Hu Weiyong case, and his whole family was inexplicably killed.
With the old man's temper, he never reasoned with anyone who offended him. As long as he got involved, he would kill him to the end. But as the nephew of the Marquis of Runan, not only was he fine, but he was promoted to a higher rank year after year.
In the year when his uncle Runan Hou died, he was ordered to train troops in Shandong, Henan. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
When his cousin's family was killed, he was leading troops in the Huaixi General Manager's Camp in Fengyang.
Some people say that the reason for this is that he is the consort of Princess Ningguo, and Princess Ningguo is the eldest daughter of Queen Ma.
Is this really the truth?
With Princess Ning Guo's noble background, why did she choose a marquis who was outside the circle of Huaixi nobles and had served under Liu Futong and Zhang Shicheng?
Mei Yin was good at bow shooting, proficient in cavalry but never civilized by bravery. He was known as Mei Yin scholar among the second generation of nobles. He also served as a high-ranking civil servant like Shandong Xuezheng.
According to common sense, his origin and family, as well as the Mei family, except for his family, were all killed by the sword. Even if his wife is the princess of Ningguo, he cannot be used in such a important way, and he has nothing real to offer.
Achievements.
But it just so happens that among all the princes-in-law, he is the most honorable.
Moreover, even the old assassins in the capital who looked askance at everyone treated him with courtesy.
There is a passage in "History of the Ming Dynasty" that he was always by Emperor Hongwu's side when he was dying in his later years. Moreover, Emperor Hongwu said to him, "You are honest and loyal, and I can entrust Zhu Yunwen to you."
There is even a secret message.
"If someone refuses to obey, you can kill them, no matter who they are!"
Just think about it, is this something a prince-consort can get involved in? Does he have the ability to ask others to be killed?
When the old man is alive, you are the brother-in-law of the kings, but when the old man is dead, you are nothing.
Why do you kill others? Why do you kill the Zhu family? What do you rely on?
Historically, he assisted Emperor Jianwen. After Li Jinglong's defeat, he gathered 400,000 troops to guard Huai'an and gouged out the nose and eyes of the envoy sent by Zhu Di.
After Zhu Di came to the throne, with Zhu Di's temperament of living as the king of hell, do you still need to cover up if you want to kill someone?
But it happened that Zhu Di secretly instructed Jin Yiwei to pretend to be an accident and let Mei Yin fall into the water and drown. After Mei Yin died, Zhu Di still denied it and refused to admit it.
He even dared to implicate ten other clans, and Ping An was so shamed that he committed suicide. Why should he pretend that Mei Yin's death had nothing to do with him?
The truth, no one knows.
But it is certain that Mei Yin must have a different role in the old man's heart.
Maybe, except for blue eyes...
~~
"Bao'er!" The old man said slowly, his voice a little tired.
"I'm here!" Ping An kowtowed, walked forward and knelt at the old man's feet.
The old man lowered his eyes, "We trust you!"
Dong Dong, Ping An didn't say anything, and kowtowed vigorously.
"Your Majesty also trusts you!" The old man continued, "Your father Pingding was Chang Yuchun's right-hand man and the most staunch person at that time. It was a pity that he died in battle and died young. At that time, he was raised in the palace and accompanied by the prince.
Side by side, going in and out is inseparable, just like hands and feet."
Dong Dong, Ping An kowtows again.
"The emperor was right to choose you as the chief military officer of the Beijing camp!" the old man continued, "but it's not enough!"
In an instant, Ping An raised his head, with some confusion in his eyes.
"Silly boy!" the old man scolded with a smile, "If you were smarter, I would have given you a title long ago. Who are you following so stupidly?"
(Mei Yin is very important, so the article is a bit longer. A few days ago, I was embarrassed, because of money. But in the final chapter of the book involving the intrigues, I will try my best to write these well)
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

content.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
