Looking at Zhu Cihong and Gong Yonggu sitting in front of him, Chang Yu took a deep breath. He planned to risk his life. There were some things he had to say. Although these words might cause him death, he would not be happy if he did not say them out.
After realizing that he had traveled to the palace, his first reaction was to protect himself and escape. However, some people he met in the past few days made his heart unbearable. He did not want Chunxiang to die, nor Princess Changping to die, nor Linglong to die.
, and the two people in front of him, to be exact, he couldn't bear the death of anyone.
What kind of man is he who sneaks away quietly? Although he doesn't have the ability to turn things around now, he can do his best even if he dies without regrets.
"What I say may lead to my being beheaded for misleading the public, but if I don't say it, I will always feel unbearable. The prince is benevolent and righteous, and the consort is loyal. If I don't speak out, I will not let go of my conscience."
Chang Yu cleared his throat and kowtowed.
Zhu Cixiang and Gong Yonggu looked at each other, their expressions were puzzled but a little solemn. It seemed that what the little eunuch wanted to say was extremely important.
"Tell me about it," Zhu Cixiang said softly.
"A few days ago, I was punished with a cane for dereliction of duty. I was interrupted. When I was about to die, my soul left my body and saw some things that were going to happen in the future..." Chang Yu thought about it again and again, but still used this evil way to open the door.
The topic is relatively safe and credible. After all, no one these days does not believe in ghosts and gods.
"See what's going to happen in the future? What did you see?" Zhu Cixiang stood up awkwardly and pointed at Chang Yu, who was a little excited. He seemed to be aware of what Chang Yu was going to say but was afraid that what Chang Yu said was what he thought.
"Damn it, little one." Chang Yu knelt down and said, "Young man saw the traitor army conquering the capital, burning, killing and looting corpses all over the fields, and the blood flowed into rivers. The prince and queen hanged themselves, the prince consort died for his country, and the prince was killed by the Tatars..."
"Unbridled! You are seeking death if you use your evil words to confuse the public." Zhu Cixiang and Gong Yonggu shouted in unison, their expressions extremely ugly!
"Two gentlemen, please calm down. I know that these words will be deceived by demons and monsters if I hear these words. When I saw these scenes, there was also a white-bearded immortal who reminded me that this is a heavenly secret and must not be revealed, otherwise it will
Suffering from the disaster of death, have you ever thought about why you are seeking death when you are living a good life? Xiao Xiao originally only planned to find an opportunity to escape from the palace, but he really couldn't bear to see the capital being devastated, let alone seeing these two gentlemen end up like this.
What will happen! I can’t bear it!”
"What evidence is there to prove that what you said is true?" Gong Yonggu suddenly asked.
"There is no evidence." Chang Yu shook his head gently, "But I can say two things and let the two men verify it. If it is false, even if it is beheaded, it will be admitted. If it is true, I hope you two men will make plans early."
"Say," Zhu Cixiang's breath became thicker, and he was suppressing the excitement in his heart. He knew exactly how seriously Daming was now, but he just didn't want to admit it most of the time, and he still had illusions.
"The first thing is that the bandits are now entrenched in Xi'an..." Chang Yu started but was interrupted by Zhu Cixiang: "The bandits captured Xi'an last year. What can we say about the past!"
"Prince, what I'm talking about is not that the bandits captured Xi'an, but that the bandits will proclaim themselves emperor and change Xi'an to Xijing. The country will be named Dashun and the reign will be Yongchang. It will be on the eighth day of the lunar month, which is today. If you are informed, it will be the day after tomorrow at the latest.
"It will spread to the capital." Chang Yu only knew a little bit about the entire Ming history, but he was quite familiar with the period when intruders attacked the capital at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so he came here. (Note: In fact, Li Zicheng said this on January 1, the 17th year of Chongzhen)
Emperor, this is changed to the eighth day of the lunar month for plot)
Zhu Cixiang and Gong Yonggu were shocked! They immediately believed it. Both of them were familiar with the situation there. If this little eunuch was talking nonsense, he couldn't even tell the country and the year. Is it true?
"What else?" Zhu Cixiang was about to collapse. After all, he was still a young man and was not as calm as Gong Yonggu.
"Verify this first," Chang Yu said, taking a long breath and turning to look at Gong Yonggu: "Prince-in-law, is Princess Le'an ill?"
Gong Yonggu was startled. It was not a secret that Princess Le'an was ill, but he was a little surprised that the young eunuch in the palace knew about it. However, he could not rule out that the news came from the harem.
"yes"
"My condolences, Prince Consort, the princess won't last more than a month." Chang Yu's words shocked Gong Yonggu, who staggered around.
"Do you mean what you said?" Gong Yonggu looked stern. This gentle and elegant man lost his composure, but it is understandable that he and Princess Le'an are a famously loving couple with deep love and righteousness!
Chang Yu nodded, "I did see it, little one."
Of course, he didn't actually see anything. He wasn't even sure when Princess Le'an died, because some later generations said it was the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and some said it was the eve of the city's capture by bandits, but historical data records that the city was destroyed.
Princess Ji has not yet been buried, and Gong Yonggu is lying around the coffin. If she died at the end of the 16th year, it would be impossible not to be buried for three or four months! So Chang Yu speculated that she was not dead yet, but it was not far away!
With two pops, Zhu Cihong and Gong Yonggu fell down on the imperial chair with their eyes blank. One was about to be crown prince of the country, and the other was about to lose the person he loved. Both of them were extremely shocked.
"If the verification is wrong in three days, I would like to apologize and resign." Although Chang Yu was willing to fight today, his heart was extremely heavy after saying these words, so he stood up and left Ciqing Palace without waiting for permission, and gently said
He closed the palace door and signaled the eunuchs and maids next to him not to go in and disturb him for the time being.
The eunuch and the palace lady are very friendly. After all, most people have won money because of this young man!
Getting rich, getting rich, Linglong came over with two silver ingots in her hands with a face full of joy: "I have lived frugally in the three years since I have been in the palace. What I have saved in one day is not as much as what I have earned in one day..."
She was indeed very happy because she was the one who made more money besides Chang Yu, not only because she bet on the right money, but also because she bet the most. After all, the other palace maids, eunuchs and guards did not have the courage to bet all their wealth at once like her.
At most, it's only two, three, or five taels.
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Where's mine?"
There is no doubt that Chang Yu is the biggest winner today. Just before entering Ciqing Palace, he had asked Linglong to help him bet fifty taels and Hu Feng's 10 taels. In total, he earned more than two hundred taels!
"Where is it?" Linglong pointed towards the corridor. A eunuch was standing there with a sad face and carrying a package!
When someone laughs, someone will cry. Of course, most of the guards cried, because no one guarded Chang Yu! Maybe it was out of loyalty, let’s think so!
"Don't cry with a sad face. If you win, you will lose." Chang Yu took the package from the hand of the sad eunuch and tapped it. It was a bit heavy!
"Hey, our family doesn't feel sorry for ourselves, it feels bad for the prince. Today we are bankrupt!" The eunuch sighed.
Chang Yu smiled and whispered: "Tell the prince later that if you want to make a fortune, remember to buy me. I have been in a lot of trouble recently."
The eunuch was stunned and watched Chang Yu leave with a smile.
"Brother Tang, you were too harsh just now. I'm here to apologize."
At the entrance of the Prince's Mansion, the blood on the corner of Tang Poshan's mouth had not yet dried. He was sitting by the steps, surrounded by several guards. When he saw Chang Yu approaching, he stood up quickly with a slight embarrassment.
"Eunuch Chang is invincible with his fists and kicks. I admire you." Tang Poshan clasped his fists in return. To be honest, he was not convinced. He felt that many of his proud tricks were killed before he could use them. It was really useless, but in fact he was defeated again.
Yes, you have to hold it in if you don’t accept it!
"During the competition, my fists and feet were blind, and I hurt Brother Tang. I felt panic-stricken. I should use this money as medical expenses, and leave the rest to my brother to drink and warm up." Chang Yu said with an apology on his face and took out a tablet.
Twelve taels of silver were handed over.
This kid knows how to be a good person, Tang Poshan secretly thought, civil servants like them all have medical insurance, so they don’t have to pay out of pocket for injuries. Chang Yu’s move is obviously a good sign!
"Then I will thank Eunuch Chang on behalf of the brothers." Tang Poshan is also an old man. This kind of person can marry without breaking up. What's more, he takes the initiative to show his kindness: "Eunuch Chang, if you have time, why don't you go have a drink?"
"Hey, Brother Tang, it's not a good time to drink in the bar right now. It's better to go to the hospital first." That's right, Chang Yu wanted to take the initiative to show his kindness. He showed up in the palace to win over people, not to make enemies.
"A few minor injuries are not worth mentioning. As long as Eunuch Chang is free, I, Old Tang, will accompany you to the end." People who practice martial arts are so generous and will fall out at the slightest disagreement, but in the blink of an eye they can still call each other brothers and sisters.
"We really don't have time now. We still have an arranged fight to have," Chang Yu said with a slight smile.
"Oh, which one? Where?" Upon hearing this, Tang Poshan became interested. To be honest, he wanted to see and study this kid's martial arts.
"Outside Donghua Gate, there is a small flag of Jinwu Guards," Chang Yu said.
Tang Poshan said oh, and his heart tightened. He left the inner palace outside Donghua Gate and went to the eunuch's den. I was just beaten by a eunuch until my mouth was full of blood. Now I went to the eunuch's den to watch you fight. Why don't you get beaten by those group of eunuchs?
If you don't make a joke, wouldn't you be asking for humiliation and calling me a fool? "Then I wish Eunuch Chang a victory and return home. I will serve you a drink here to celebrate."
"Thank you for your good words from Brother Tang, see you later." Chang Yu smiled slightly, cupped his fists, saluted, and turned around to leave!
After leaving Ciqing Palace, Chang Yu put away his smile. He felt extremely depressed now. What unknown risks would he bring to himself if he said those words in excitement.
But he doesn't regret it, because even though he has developed feelings for the palace in just a few days, he went from just wanting to protect himself when he traveled through time, to wanting to protect the people around him, to now...
Looking at the high walls, palaces, attics, plants and trees in front of him, he wanted to protect them all!
This was the crystallization of the wisdom of the Han family, but it was eventually ruined by those Han thieves. The exquisite and huge official kiln flower vats were used as mangers, the doors and windows made of finely carved precious wood were removed to light fires for cooking, and the exquisite treasures were cherished in the inner treasury.
The larger rhino cups are used to pound garlic, while the smaller ones are used as oil lamps...
