If the sky is crazy, there will be rain; if people are crazy, there will be disaster; if people are floating, they will be easily stabbed.
This truth has been verified countless times for thousands of years!
Nowadays, Chang Yu is extremely powerful. A big tree can easily attract the wind, so he knows how to keep a low profile. No matter how arrogant and arrogant he is on the battlefield, once he returns to Beijing, he can always keep a low profile as much as possible. He just doesn't want to attract the wind.
Become the target of thousands of people.
For example, getting married is a great joy in life for others. With the beating of gongs and drums, everyone in the world would like to share the joy, but he can't do it. If he is an ordinary person or an ordinary prince or minister, he can do it.
But he is a eunuch!
If he were just an ordinary eunuch, he would be talked about at most.
But he is the governor of Dongchang!
How many people were staring at him, sharpening their skills and sharpening their knives. They would splash dirty water when there was no black material, and they would drown him if they caught some black material.
In fact, it's not enough to drown yourself, but it will also implicate the royal family, and more importantly, the Zhang family.
It's okay to troll me and troll me, but it's not okay to troll my family.
Therefore, the matter of Chang Yu's marriage can be kept as low-key as possible. In fact, except for the emperor's family, very few people know about it, and even many personal attendants don't know about it. These people will not tell anyone if they know. Gao Jie is Chang
Yu's subordinate brother knew more about the power of this. Zheng Zhilong is a veteran of the world. Not only did he not tell anyone about it, he was also very touched. The eunuch actually told him such a secret thing and was invited to attend the wedding. This is definitely what he thought he was.
People.
But Wu Mengming, who always thought he was Chang Yu's own, didn't even know!
Tianxiao.
Fanzi in the Dongchang Yamen had already gotten up early and was busy with work, but Chang Yu hadn't gotten up yet because he and Chunxiang stayed up until early in the morning last night.
There was a knock on the door outside the yamen, Fanzi frowned, who was it this early in the morning?
Then he opened the door, took a look, and ran to the backyard: "Master Governor, the Crown Prince is here."
It wasn’t just Zhu Cihong who came, but also Princess Kunxing.
"I told you to come earlier, but I didn't ask you to come so early." Chang Yu was washing up at the door while secretly looking at Princess Kunxing who was sitting in the hall. This girl's eyes were red and her face was haggard. She hadn't said a word since she entered.
Yu felt guilty and did not dare to look directly, so he could only look secretly.
Zhu Cixiang, on the other hand, kept grinning from the moment he entered the door, and kept congratulating him: "I'm afraid you came late and you left, by the way, I prepared a gift for you." After saying that, he shouted to the outside, and soon
Two eunuchs came in carrying a box.
Chang Yu didn't even look at it: "Silver?"
"Hey, I'm so poor. Where can I get the money? I know you like calligraphy, painting and antiques, so I got some for you. Some were rewarded by my father, and some were collected from outside the palace..."
Chang Yu smiled, but didn't pick on him: "Are you poor?"
"Hey, it depends on who you compare with, at least compared to Kunxing. I am really poor as a brother, right Kunxing?" Zhu Cixiang shouted to Princess Kunxing who was sitting silently in the house.
Princess Kunxing sighed quietly, stood up and walked to the door, looking at Chang Yu with resentful eyes and said: "You are a eunuch, why are you getting married? Are you not harming other girls!"
Well, Chang Yu scratched his head and didn't know how to answer. Zhu Cixiang pretended to be angry: "Kun Xing, what are you talking about? Even if Chang Yu is a eunuch, but... what's wrong with getting married? What are you doing here today..."
Kun Xing sighed again and winked at the maid next to him. The maid walked out quickly. After a while, another big box was brought in. Chang Yu coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment and looked at our rich princess.
I have given you some treasures.
Princess Kunxing's gifts to Chang Yu are indeed treasures: the bride's clothing, from clothes to hats to shoes to headwear to bags to rouge and gouache, each item is marked with the symbol "Kun" in the shape of a phoenix. These items
It's hard to find money outside.
This gift was not given to Chang Yu, but to Zhang Biyun.
"Your Highness Princess is really generous." Chang Yu didn't know what to say for a moment, but he had to say something. Kun Xing turned to leave with a cold expression on his face, but was stopped by Chang Yu: "I have something to say, please give it to the Queen, Your Highness."
"As he said this, he said to Zhu Cihong: "I can't tell you these words."
Moreover, Zhu Cihong didn't notice anything and shrugged: "I'm not interested in listening." Then he went to talk to Chunxiang. Here Chang Yu pulled Princess Kunxing's sleeve and motioned for him to come into the room to talk.
Kun Xing was angry. He didn't want to but couldn't control himself. He turned around and followed Chang Yu into the house: "What message do you want to send to your mother?"
"Actually, I just want to talk to you." Chang Yu looked at Princess Kunxing and bit his lip: "I heard from the queen that you have been worried recently, but you have encountered something troublesome."
"I want you to take care of it." Kun Xing snorted, turned around and was about to leave, but Chang Yu grabbed him: "I can't take care of others, I can't help myself."
Kun Xing was startled: "What do you mean by this... Do you mean that this kiss is..."
"There are some things I can't say clearly. The Zhang family is a big salt merchant and a very wealthy country. They have a close relationship with Gao Jie. Gao Jie has a lot of troops to guard one side... You can figure out the rest for yourself." Chang Yu sighed and raised his head at a forty-five degree angle.
Looking sideways at the roof, Princess Kunxing's defense was instantly broken. She grabbed Chang Yu's hand and said, "I knew how you could..."
How could a palace princess who was trapped in love at the age of fifteen or sixteen be a match for a love expert like Chang Yu? In just a few words, Princess Kunxing was able to figure things out on her own.
Nowadays, the national treasury is in short supply, but the army needs money for disaster relief. Moreover, Chang Yu has used all kinds of deceit and trickery to get the money. Even so, it is still insufficient. The Zhang family is a big salt merchant and has money at home, so Chang Yu
The first marriage is actually...
In addition to having no money or food, the imperial court is also powerless against the big warlords everywhere. It relies on various means to win over or threaten them. As the stronger one among these warlords, Gao Jie naturally has to win over, so Chang Yu this time
The reality of getting married...
In all likelihood, he was ordered by his father.
This poor little eunuch, for the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family, had to sacrifice both his strength and his body.
In the yard, Zhu Cixiang was still listening to Chunxiang talking about the pursuit of Li Zicheng. He turned around and saw Kunxing Lihua walking out of the hall with red eyes in the rain. He thought to himself, Chang Yu asked her to pass on something to his mother. What else could he do?
It made her cry. Just as he was about to ask, he saw that although Kun Xing's eyes were blurred with tears, his expression was no longer as cold and dead as before. Instead, he squeezed out a smile and waved goodbye to Chang Yu.
"What did you say to Kun Xing? You made her cry." Zhu Cixiang still couldn't hold it back. Chang Yu glanced at him and said, "Don't talk about the girl's family affairs."
Moreover, Zhu Cixi rolled his eyes, but did not continue to ask further. Then he changed the topic: "So the intruder in your Yamen Prison is a Xibei."
Chang Yu glanced at Chunxiang and shrugged: "Intruders are very cunning. Although they don't have three heads and six arms, they have countless substitutes."
"Hey, you're in trouble." Zhu Cixi shook his head after hearing this: "At that time, you kept saying that you captured the intruder, which caused a sensation all over the capital, and the ministers in the DPRK also thought it was true. Now... if you turn around and spit on the stars, you will be drowned.
".
Chang Yu laughed loudly: "If not, why are you rushing out of Beijing? This is what you are afraid of."
"It's not that urgent, I think this matter can be hidden for a few more days... Hey, the thieves in this shithole are really cunning..." Zhu Cixiang said bitterly, and Chang Yu shook his head: "You'll be relieved if you leave early. Take it easy."
I’m a little afraid that I won’t be able to leave.”
Breakfast was prepared while they were talking, and Chang Yu left Zhu Cihong to eat breakfast while chatting, talking about everything from the situation in the Yellow River to natural and man-made disasters in various places to epidemic control in the capital to Real Madrid Football Club.
At three o'clock in the morning, Chang Yu, who was well prepared, was about to set off. The matter was kept low-key and kept simple. Lao Hu drove an ordinary carriage and waited at the yamen gate. Zhu Cihong got on the carriage and said, "I'll take you outside the city."
"Farewell" Chang Yu chuckled: "I came out of the city alone and in a car without a trace. Your entourage swarming around you is too ostentatious..."
"Let them go out through Chaoyang Gate. Let's go through Yongding Gate. It will just help you distract the eyes and ears of interested people." Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly, and Chang Yu shook his head lightly and got into the car: "Now you are more and more clever."
"Those who are close to the ink are stupid. They have not learned great wisdom, but they still have some cleverness." Zhu Cixiang was very proud. He opened the car window and took a look outside: "You can't really go out of Beijing alone and in a car."
"Guess what?" Chang Yu smiled.
"I guess it's impossible. Even if you are brave and invincible, you can't leave the capital alone. The roads are not peaceful now. I heard that there are many bandits and bandits rioting in Hebei and Shandong. Even Wang Jiayan has gone out of the capital to suppress the bandits. And you are
Governor of Dongchang, there are more than two of you who want to be killed. Although your departure from the capital is secret, there is no guarantee that you will not be noticed by someone who is interested. I guess you have all the people waiting outside the city.
