With nothing to do, Chang Yu walked casually in the Imperial Garden at the foot of Longevity Mountain, thinking about random things.
The afternoon sun makes people feel warm. There are many palace maids and eunuchs around the imperial garden, laughing and playing in twos and threes. Most of them are not on duty to pass the time, and some are taking care of flowers, plants and fallen leaves. The whole scene is peaceful and harmonious, at least
This is what it looks like on the surface.
But Chang Yu knew that this peaceful scene would turn into hell in two months. How many people died in the disaster when the palace was breached. Not to mention the emperor and empress hanging themselves, what happened to these laughing and playing palace maids now was cruel. In addition to being unwilling to be humiliated,
The Wei family led more than 200 maids to jump into the river and committed suicide. Countless others were killed by the bandit army. Even the emperor's concubines could not escape the clutches of the devil.
Chang Yu felt like his heart was pricked with needles when he thought of these things. The poor imperial city, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was ravaged by a group of bandits and thieves. It was a national tragedy!
Chang Yu, who was extremely depressed, had no intention of taking a walk and decided to go to the jail to quietly think about the future.
Several eunuchs were drying their quilts in the courtyard of the prison yard. Among them was his roommate Hu Feng. When he saw Chang Yu arriving, he quickly smiled and said hello. This old boy was now considered to have made a lot of money.
Looking at his rickety figure and that ass-faced face, Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Old Hu, have you ever thought about leaving the palace?"
"Leave the palace?" Hu Feng was startled, then shook his head: "It's too chaotic outside, why go out when you have no one to rely on? At least you have something to eat in the palace, and you won't be lonely with so many companions."
Eunuchs are not perfect people. They are looked down upon by others outside and rarely interact with others. People who are already afraid of loneliness can only become more lonely. Therefore, most eunuchs who leave the palace end up depressed!
"There won't be peace in the palace for a few days. Save some money and leave the palace early to find a place to stay these days." Chang Yu said and paused: "There is no peace in Beijing either. The further south the better." After that, he entered.
Room.
Hu Feng was stunned at the place, thoughtful and his eyes were distracted.
It gets dark very early in winter. Chang Yu just squinted his eyes and it turned dark soon. After stretching, he decided to get up and have dinner.
As soon as I got up and before I went out, I saw a few people lifting the curtain and walking in. It was Jiang Quan, Chun Xiang and others.
It's just that a few people in Chunxiang have bruises and swollen faces.
"what happened?"
It turned out that he was beaten by another yamen eunuch because of a trivial matter like gambling!
"You're just trying so hard in this bastard, why don't you know how to fight back? Six or seven people were beaten standing there." After hearing this, Chang Yu was furious and pointed at Jiang Quan's nose and cursed!
"They are the Royal Horse Guards, why don't we dare?" Chunxiang covered his chin and whispered: "Come on, there's no serious injury anyway."
"What's the matter? What's wrong with the Royal Horse Prison? I'm going to beat him up. Let's go and get the place back!" Chang Yu yelled. It wouldn't matter to him if only Jiang Quan was beaten, but seeing Chunxiang's appearance, he naturally
Unable to suppress anger.
"The Royal Horse Inspector is the second highest ranking officer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They have a close relationship with the Guards. We can't afford to offend them." Chunxiang quickly grabbed Chang Yu.
Chang Yu was startled, and suddenly remembered something. The Royal Horse Prison was indeed a department with real power. The four guards on the left and right of Teng Xiang, Wu Xiang, and Wu Xiang in the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army were commanded by people from the Royal Horse Prison. In its most glorious period, the famous West Factory was
The only thing it can compete with is another yamen's Xinxiang Department. You think it is the department in charge of firewood. Yes, it is, but it is also called the Neichang, and the chief eunuch Liu Jin is in charge!
However, at this time, both the West Factory and the Inner Factory had already closed down, and the Xixin Department had already set its sights. Sun Shan was actually in charge of firewood, but the Royal Horse Supervisor was still upright. The reason was still related to the military, so the eunuchs in that department except the Li Supervisor were
The others are simply not worth mentioning.
"Humph, don't forget that I specialize in beating up the Guards, but I'm afraid of Bi Mawen who hugs his thighs? Let's go! Beat them!" Chang Yu's hot temper has risen! These days have been too depressing, with just one eunuch's nest every day
It's really frustrating to have to live with your head down and your tail between your legs. Plus, I've been depressed since talking to the prince, and now I'm about to explode.
"No way." Chunxiang grabbed him again: "It is a serious crime to gather a crowd to fight. You can't be a fool!"
"Yes, yes, Eunuch Chang, please bear with me for a while." Jiang Quan and others quickly dissuaded him!
Chang Yu was stunned!
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are more than ten thousand eunuchs and maids in the palace. There are not a few who have personal grudges. They will fight when they can't control it. You kick me and I scratch you. It's no big deal.
It's harmless.
But if there is a group fight, it is another story. At that time, there is no law to blame everyone. If the secret is known by a certain mistress, especially the queen, the master of the harem, it will disrupt the order of the palace. What kind of behavior will it cause? Not only the palm prints
Eunuchs were punished, and those who caused trouble were severely beaten or even killed with a cane.
Now Chang Yu wants to drag them into a fight. Chunxiang and Jiang Quanke both know how powerful they are, so they naturally persuade them to the death.
Chang Yu took a breath and thought about the seriousness of the matter, especially at this juncture. From Emperor Chongzhen to the prince and young master below, who wouldn't be upset, angry, and frighteningly angry! If he heard about this, he probably wouldn't even ask.
Because of this, I immediately ordered him to be killed with a stick!
"It's not a bad tone. I only want to beat up the Guards. I want to see which father-in-law is so arrogant?" At this moment, someone suddenly spoke in the yard, and then the curtain was opened, and several guards wearing armor walked in. Maybe
It was because I was not used to the sour smell in the room, so I quickly pinched my nose.
Business is coming! This is it!
Chang Yu knew it and secretly screamed, "Who is so short-sighted?" I wanted to vent my anger now.
"It seems that some of the military brothers are looking for me." Chang Yu took a step forward, standing a head above him and leading the man with an expressionless face.
"Are you the Eunuch Chang Yu Chang who claims to be the one who specializes in beating up the Guards?" The leader of the Guards has a short beard, looks very tough, and is around twenty-seven or eighty-years-old!
Chang Yu nodded: "The room smells bad and is crowded, let's go out and talk."
When it gets dark, most of the eunuchs go on duty or have dinner. There are not many people in the prison yard, and the yard looks very empty.
There were more than ten guards here this time, all of them tall, mighty, and high-spirited.
"Where are you on duty?" Chang Yu, standing in the courtyard with Chunxiang and other six eunuchs, asked, hands clasped.
The guards' eyes were always on him, with different expressions: some were curious, some were questioning, and some were expressionless.
"Jinyiwei" the leader said softly.
Damn, Han generals! No wonder they are all so thick and strong.
Chang Yu was startled, looking at the sky, he understood that the Han generals were accompanying the emperor, but once the emperor entered the harem, no man other than him was allowed to enter the harem, that is, from the Qianqing Gate to the Xuanwu Gate.
area!
Presumably these dozen or so people just changed shifts or got off work, and stopped by to practice with me!
"I have admired you for a long time." Chang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Everyone here must be here to practice my skills with me. May I ask who is coming up?" He took off his cotton robe and threw it to Jiang Quan behind him.
"I heard that Eunuch Chang was very skilled in martial arts and competed with his bodyguards in several cities. He claimed that he was the only one who could rule out dissatisfaction." The short-bearded man at the head laughed and said, "I am dissatisfied with Zhang Huwei's power, so I came here to ask for advice." He took off his chainmail and handed it to his colleagues, and then
He took out a small cloth bag from his arms and threw it in front of Chang Yu.
"Brothers are poor, but they can't swallow their breath, so they scrape together twenty taels."
Chang Yu smiled slightly and looked Zhang Huwei up and down, and he started to think about it. There were two types of emperor's personal soldiers. One was called palace guards, who were responsible for patrolling and guarding. Most of the twenty-six personal guards did this job, and one was called palace guards.
They are called palace guards, and there are only Jinyiwei and Bannerwei, the so-called Ouchi masters. They are all selected people who are physically strong or have high martial arts skills.
The General of the Han Dynasty is the department under the Jinyiwei that is responsible for the palace guards, with about 1,500 people.
The man in front of him was the strongest person he had met since entering the palace. Although Tang Potian was also strong, he was short. To put it simply, he and Zhang Huwei were not in the same kilogram level, so he suffered from both physical and weight.
Secondly, most of the imperial guards are skilled in martial arts. Zhang Huwei knew his name and took the initiative to find him, which means that this person is definitely difficult to deal with.
But even so, Chang Yu is confident that he can knock him out within ten rounds. Again, everyone has different targeted training.
"We have fifty taels of silver here. If you win, use it to give your brother a drink."
"Please" Zhang Huwei stopped talking, clasped his fists and reared his legs, and put up a posture!
