There is a winery near Dinghuaimen. Although it is not a big shop, it does a lot of business. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that their family is engaged in palace business. Their annual turnover is tens of thousands of taels of silver. The owner of the winery
His surname is Jiang, he is in his thirties, but he is very enthusiastic and responsible. The business can be so big only because of the care of his uncle who is an errand in the palace.
There are many categories of wine used in the palace, and the high-quality royal drinking wine is naturally sent as tribute from all over the country. Jiangjia Winery mainly supplies the cooking wine used in the imperial dining room, which is rice wine mixed with various condiments.
Even so, the profits are substantial.
A donkey cart drove slowly by, and the neighbors knew that Eunuch Hai had come to take care of his nephew's business again. Sure enough, it was Eunuch Ha who got out of the donkey cart. The kind-hearted old eunuch said hello to the neighbors.
Then he entered the shop, and the little eunuch stayed outside with his whip in his arms to look at the car.
Eunuch Hai’s original surname was Jiang. After entering the palace, he felt sorry for his ancestors, so he changed his surname to Hai. He also had a nephew in his family who was originally a wine-maker. It happened that Eunuch Hai took charge of the imperial kitchen, so he took care of his nephew.
The business has come, and now Eunuch Hai has taken a back seat, but in terms of human relations, Eunuch Hai still comes to buy cooking wine and rice wine in person every month.
People who serve as eunuchs have no descendants, and in a hundred years there won't even be anyone who breaks the basin. As Eunuch Hai gets older, he relies more and more on his nephew. His nephew is also a kind man and respects his uncle very much. That's why Eunuch Hai will
He was kidnapped and taken into the palace.
After the last incident, Eunuch Hai still had lingering fears. It was not that he was afraid of something happening to his nephew's family. The prince's character must be fine. What he was afraid of was that some clues would be found in the palace. You must know that both the imperial guards and the imperial guards
If you are not a vegetarian, there is nothing in the world that they cannot find out.
However, after several days, there was still no movement. The person who went out to buy in the imperial kitchen came back with a message saying that Eunuch Hai's nephew wanted to see him for something. Eunuch Hai thought about it again and again, and finally went.
Hearing the sound of the donkey cart, Boss Jiang had already come out and helped his uncle take off the cloak. He was very attentive and greeted him, just like before. However, Eunuch Hai could see that there was an indescribable expression on his nephew's face.
nature.
Sure enough, after entering the door, the nephew's expression changed: "Uncle, those people are here again."
"Don't be afraid, they are not bad people." Eunuch Hai patted his nephew on the shoulder and comforted him.
"That……"
"Don't worry about it. Nothing happens without you. Where is the person?"
Just as he was talking, a dark shadow appeared on the stairs: "Eunuch Hai, our master invites you to come over."
Boss Jiang suddenly didn't dare to speak and stood aside in silence. Eunuch Hai was not afraid at all and told his nephew: "I will give two pancakes to the monkey cub at the door later and let him eat while he waits for me."
The visitor came down the stairs and took Eunuch Hai out of the back door of the winery. Outside the back door was a deep and quiet alley. A carriage was parked outside. Eunuch Hai was wearing a cloak and a bamboo hat on his head.
After pushing it up, the carriage started to move immediately.
The carriage was covered with thick felt, with only a glimmer of light coming out of the window. There sat a young man inside, who was the one who spied on the palace that day. In the darkness, his eyes sparkled, and he took out a waistband and said: "Eunuch Hai,
Thank you for your help."
Grandpa Hai said he didn't dare and wanted to bow down. Unfortunately, the space in the car was small, so he was held up by the young man as soon as he moved.
"Eunuch Hai, do you know who I am?" the young man asked in standard Jianghuai Mandarin.
Eunuch Hai suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "I know."
"Well, it's good to know. I called you here today because I want to know what happened in the palace twenty years ago. If I guessed correctly, you were already working in the palace at that time."
Eunuch Hai was silent for a long time and then said: "At that time, the old slave was working as a eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen. The day of the accident was the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. It was very cold. The Imperial Guards in Gyeonggi rebelled and besieged the imperial city. The Imperial Guards fought to the death and waited for reinforcements. Our imperial kitchen cooked soup all night.
Cooking food and supplying military supplies. In the end, even the eunuchs went into battle with swords. Unfortunately, the rebels were so powerful that the emperor
The palace finally fell, His Majesty died in the rebellious army, and the capital was in chaos. Fortunately, King Zhou was a thousand years old... who is the current emperor. He mobilized troops to rescue the king and eliminated the rebels. However, His Majesty had already died and the prince was missing. Zhou
The king was supported by all the troops, wore a yellow robe, and three months later he ascended the throne and became the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty."
"Is this the official version or your own personal experience?" Yuan Feng asked with a frown. Eunuch Hai's answer was not beyond his expectation and there was no new revelation.
"The old slave was helpless. After the war, the rebels killed everyone on sight. The old slave only escaped death by hiding in the ice cellar in the imperial kitchen. When he came out, it was already several days later. All these things have happened.
I heard it from others. As for what happened in the palace in those few days, I am afraid no one knows except the person involved, and most of the people involved are no longer alive."
It only lasted twenty years, and the people who experienced it were in their prime at that time, so why are most of them no longer alive?"

"All the rebel troops were executed by the King of Zhou. The troops who participated in the counter-rebellion were later sent to Shanxi to fight the Tatars. At that time, the Tatars in Mobei were stronger than they are now. The border troops all narrowly escaped death, and there were many generals leading the army at that time.
He will not die a good death, and he will either be given death or die suddenly at home. Fenyang Hou Luzhen is considered a smart one, so he supports his own troops and separates Shaanxi. Unfortunately, it can't save him, so he is not dead this year."
Yuan Feng was silent. It seemed that he could not get any useful information from Eunuch Hai. He knocked on the driver's seat and signaled that he could go back. Eunuch Hai was a little ashamed because he could not provide any valuable information to the former prince.
This is also a very helpless thing. If I really knew something, I might not be alive today.
The carriage made a circle and returned to the back door of Jiangji Winery. When Eunuch Hai got out of the car, Yuan Feng suddenly asked: "Where is my mother?"
"My queen, she perished in the sea of fire..."
Although as expected, Yuan Feng's heart still tightened. He nodded and said nothing. There was no expression on Ying Ting's face in the darkness. Eunuch Hai got out of the car and bowed deeply to the carriage before entering.
Got to the store.
The winery was as warm as spring, and the nephew also had a smile on his face. Seeing his uncle come in, he happily said: "Uncle, they invested 10,000 taels of silver in me and said they wanted to start a liquor business."
Eunuch Hai certainly knows who this "they" refers to. His nephew has long wanted to expand his business, but he has always been unwilling to show off for fear of attracting wind. Now it seems that it is impossible to protect himself wisely, and his peaceful life is gone forever.
, since the prince has returned, he will never give up. He must seize this line of his own.
Ten jars of rice wine had been put on the donkey cart. Eunuch Hai was not in the mood to sit at his nephew's house and hurried back to the palace. He felt uneasy all the way. The pride of the first day after the incident was gone, and what was left was
Endless fear, although the former emperor was kind to me, it was a long time ago after all. Time can wear away everything, including kindness and hatred. One side is the former prince and the other side is the court. Who is more powerful?
Just imagine.
…
After Eunuch Hai got off the car, the carriage drove away from the back door of the winery and wandered aimlessly on the streets of the capital in winter. Yuan Feng sat motionless in the car. Eunuch Hai was a witness to the coup, although he was just a
Peripheral personnel, but the testimony also has certain reference value. The father, the queen, and the queen both died in that accident, and the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was there.
Later, the then King of Zhou got a big deal and became the final winner. The entire family of the late emperor was martyred and he left no heirs. There was nothing wrong with King Zhou taking the treasure. It made sense both emotionally and rationally.
But after the incident, he silenced all those who knew about it and tried his best to eliminate all traces of the Han Dynasty, which is worth pondering.
The carriage finally stopped outside a secret stronghold of the Military Command Department. When Yuan Feng returned, Ye Tang hurriedly came to report: "Master, someone from Zhan Shifu has sent a letter saying that he wants to meet you."
Last time, there was a battle between the Yulin Army and the Xiliang people, and both sides suffered casualties. It turned out that this was a misunderstanding, and someone just wanted to sow discord. There were a few sensible people in Zhan Shifu, who knew the weight of the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and let him go.
If you try to suppress such a powerful foreign aid instead of trying to win over it, you are really going to have water in your head.
That's why the prince asked Jing Zhaoyin to release the person he had mistakenly arrested as a show of goodwill, and also sent a letter to meet with the representatives of Shaanxi and Gansu.
"Master, do you see me?"
"See, why not see."
…
In the East Palace, the prince's face is not very good-looking. He was embarrassed again in his father's study just now, which made him very dissatisfied. It was obviously the insidious boy Lao San who was trying to mediate the relationship between himself and the second and fourth children, but his father actually
I ignored him, scolded myself, and didn't even give him a chance to explain. Have I really fallen out of favor?
Liu Jin died, and the prince felt uncomfortable. After all, this eunuch had taken care of him since childhood, but as a prince, he could not be merciful at all. This old eunuch had caused harm to his master. If he was not executed, the prince's
Where is the majesty?
As soon as Liu Jin died, some people in Zhan Shifu immediately had an opportunity. The few young masters, young masters, and young guards chosen by the emperor for the prince were all served by the old minister Xun. Naturally, they could not be used. The few who could be used were all
He was chosen by the prince himself, a man in his twenties and a smart and capable scholar in his early thirties. Among them, Huang Zihua, a fourth-grade young man, was the most outstanding.
"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu sent people to Beijing this time just to find strong support. A mere minister of household affairs is no longer enough to serve as his backer in Beijing. His foundation is too shallow and his promotion is too small.
Come on, it has aroused the jealousy of many people. If a tree is as beautiful as a tree, the wind will destroy it. Now in the world, there are only three people who can protect him, the Emperor, His Highness, and the King of Qin."
Huang Zihua was talking eloquently. The prince's eyes lit up and he said, "Go on."
"Needless to say, Your Majesty, the world belongs to him, and the King of Qin, who is in Chang'an, controls the army and horses of Shaanxi. The Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu cannot control the King of Qin, nor can he obey the vassal king's orders, because then he will definitely be regarded by Your Majesty and His Highness as the King of Qin.
One party, suspected by His Majesty
It is not a good thing, so Fan Liangchen has only two ways to go. One is to serve the King of Qin with all his heart and strive to be a follower of the dragon in the future; the other is to join His Highness's disciples and express his position. In the future, when His Highness ascends the throne, he can continue
His glory and wealth.”
"Fan Liangchen is not stupid. Of course he understands that following the King of Qin can only lead to darkness. He only has one way left, which is to seek refuge with His Highness. That's why he sent capable personnel to the capital. He just wants to follow His Highness's path, which is exactly what he wants.
It is because of this that they were deceived by Luo Tianqiang."
The prince slapped the table: "Wonderful. Why didn't I think of it? It's a pity that this kid Lao San disturbed the situation. They must be afraid now."
Huang Zihua smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness is overly worried. That matter was purely a misunderstanding. Now Liu Jin is dead and Jingzhao Yin Yamen has also released him. Your Highness is magnanimous. They must be grateful. This is a good opportunity to recruit."

"Okay, then who should I send?"
