Chapter 12 Lu Fan's Eunuch Day Trip!
With the moonlight, Lu Fan could vaguely see the direction where Ding Baiying and others disappeared.
But after a moment of hesitation, he finally gave up his plan to follow and pull out the master behind them.
He knew very well who was behind the scenes, and that he was just the king of Xin Zhu Youjian who was waiting for his brother to ascend to heaven and then could successfully ascend the throne.
If nothing unexpected happens, the other party will take office in these few days. Before he has no choice, Lu Fan will not want to break up with the future emperor directly.
After all, in this era, no matter how strong the individual's force is, facing a behemoth like the state machine, you can only retreat. Those who dare to argue with each other in the front are not a few feet tall.
Looking up at the hazy full moon, Lu Fan thought secretly in his heart.
Chongzhen was a man of many controversies in later generations. What is certain is that he was a diligent monarch, but he was also a suspicious person with a soft heart and lacked responsibility. He was not a wise ruler who could be assisted.
If you follow such an emperor, you may be thrown out by the other party as an abandoned son at any time to calm the questioning between various forces.
"The water in the capital is too muddy. It seems that I need to find an opportunity to transfer it out!"
...........
In the suburbs, in an inconspicuous courtyard, Ding Baiying knelt on one knee and bowed to the ground.
In front of her, a graceful young noble man was sitting in front of the desk, looking down at the woman in brocade clothes below with sharp eyes.
"I know your abilities. Even the few subordinates of Wei Zhongxian can't take any advantage in your hands. As a result, the three of them can't take one Lu Fan?"
Ding Baiying shook his head, thought about it, and said, "That man walked through life and death, which can be said to be a complete transformation. He is not old, but his sense of fighting is far superior to others. In terms of fighting alone, no one in this world can win him."
"In this way, this is also a talent!" The young master Huagui took a sip of tea and smiled: "Is it possible to take it for himself?"
"This man is stubborn and just wants to protect himself. For the time being, unless the young master can ascend the throne and recruit him as the emperor, it will be difficult for this person to serve anyone!"
"Forget it, he killed Wei Zhongxian's nephew and was already standing opposite the eunuch. There is no need to worry about being an enemy of us!"
Speaking of this, the young master of Huagui paused and asked, "He doesn't know that there are traces of me behind you, right?"
"Before he only found Guo Zhen, and the clues were cut off by us. Therefore, Lu Fan just thought that this was a struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party, and did not want to involve the party dispute. He discussed peace with me and would not disturb each other in the future!"
"Okay!" the luxurious man nodded, "This matter ends here. Don't make any troubles. I have great use for this person! The current situation is quiet rather than moving. We just need to calm down and wait for the change of the weather!"
"Yes!" Ding Baiying subconsciously took the order, but then hurriedly said: "In the Jinyiwei case library, there are records of Guo Zhen participating in the construction of the emperor's cruise ship, and there are many people involved behind it. This is a hidden danger."
"I originally planned to use the handle to threaten Lu Fan and ask him to burn the document library, but this person would rather be a desperate than be threatened, so he had no choice but to give up."
When the young master Huagui frowned and thought for a moment, he said, "Your second senior brother Lu Wenzhao is in the Northern Town Fu Office, and the document library is also within his jurisdiction. The document library affairs will make him act according to the opportunity. If the East Factory finds out there, he will find a way to destroy the document library!"
"Understood!"
Ding Baiying stood up to salute, turned around and left, until after closing the door, a hint of gloom appeared in her expression.
His Highness Xin Wang, who was assisted by her brothers and others, never asked her two brothers under her command how they were injured or killed!
If such a mean and rude person is an emperor, can he really eliminate the treacherous and slanderous courts, revive the Ming Dynasty, and return the people of the world to live and work in peace?
.........
In the next few days, the entire capital was undercurrent.
News that Emperor Tianqi was critically ill had begun to spread in the capital. The eunuchs under Wei Zhongxian blocked the palace gate and no one was allowed to meet the emperor.
In this depressing atmosphere, news of being burned came from the Jinyiwei Case Library, and the father-in-law of the East Factory died.
If it were normal, this incident would definitely cause a big fight in the East Factory, but at the critical moment when the emperor was about to die, Wei Zhongxian no longer cared about anything else and had no intention of paying attention to such a tangible matter. He just ordered the Jinyiwei to be responsible for thorough investigation of the matter.
In the past few days, Lu Fan and others have not been idle, and have almost kept running around the market to capture the so-called rebels.
The rebels failed to catch a few, but they caught many criminals and seized a lot of property, which greatly alleviated Lu Fan, who was short of money, greatly alleviated the financial crisis.
After all, the practice of internal martial arts is really too much to consume, and it is really difficult to continue without sufficient financial support.
This happy capture of the rebel party did not last long, because on the 11th August of the seventh year of Tianqi, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao died.
Because he had no children, King Xin Zhu Youjian was ordered to inherit the throne on the 24th of the same month, Dingsi was seventeen years old.
On the day when King Xin Zhu Youjian inherited the throne, the envoy from King Xin's mansion came to Lu Fan's home.
............
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
There is a throne in the middle of the palace and a warm pavilion at both ends. In the huge palace, there are only two figures of a man and a woman, standing at the door with their heads down, as if waiting for the arrival of the owner of the hall.
At this moment, Lu Fan was dressed in a little eunuch and looked a little green face. He even had some pink on his face, and his lips looked red and white, and he was extremely handsome.
Next to him, the old acquaintance Ding Baiying was wearing palace maid costumes, covering her mouth and laughing, her eyes looking at Lu Fan from time to time.
"The surname of Ding is not the only one who is good at this world. Why do you have to choose me?"
Lu Fan's voice was very low, but he believed that Ding Baiying could definitely hear it clearly.
"There is no way. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so he can only bring his personal eunuch and maid into the palace. He is of the right age and good skill. After thinking about it, there seems to be no one else except you!"
"Besides, I just mentioned it. Your Majesty is the one who really made up his mind to use you!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes, feeling a little depressed at this moment.
When he received an oral order from the envoy of the Xin Palace, asking him to enter the palace to be the emperor's personal eunuch, Lu Fan almost killed his official position and rebelled and revolted!
If the envoy had not explained the matter clearly in time and asked him to disguise himself as a eunuch and temporarily protect His Majesty's safety, otherwise Lu Fan would have escaped from the capital and become a bandit!
But even so, he was still extremely unhappy. He looked at Ding Baiying who had cheated him and was angry no matter how he looked.
This woman is not moral!
