In the courtyard, Prince Zhu Cixiang clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at a few unknown birds jumping around on the branches, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Chunxiang stood behind him respectfully: "Prince, does he know what kind of bird this is?"
Zhu Cixiang shook his head: "It's not the old bird anyway." He said with a sudden smile: "I once heard that the Tatars respected the old bird as a sacred bird, for their ancestors. Hahaha, for a barbarian tribe, this is very ridiculous."
Chunxiang was startled: "This is the first time I've heard this. If it's true, I think it's really ridiculous."
"There are all kinds of wonders in this world," Zhu Cixiang sighed, and then said, "Chang Yu will return to Beijing soon. Recently, there have been undercurrents in the DPRK. Some people are holding back their desires to harm him. You must take precautions.
Don’t allow him to make a single mistake.”
"The prince's words, please bear in mind, those people will not let you go, but you can imagine how murderous they are towards Eunuch Chang." A killing intent flashed out of the corner of Chunxiang's eyes.
"Oh, if you didn't tell me, I forgot. I heard that two of the thieves who assassinated you that night were captured. But have you told me who was behind it?" Zhu Cihong asked.
Chunxiang's expression was a little tangled, but in the end he whispered a few words in Zhu Cixiang's ear.
Zhu Cixiang looked startled, and his face suddenly changed: "How many people still know about this matter?"
"There are not even eight people, including the little one!" Chunxiang said quickly.
"This matter must not be made public until Chang Yu comes back!" Zhu Cixiang narrowed his eyes and said, "Chang Yu is really capable. He can stir up all kinds of monsters and ghosts with just one stick."
"Prince" At this moment, a young eunuch hurried over: "Eunuch Chang has passed Changping, and you can enter the capital in two hours at most!"
"Ah, so fast!" The prince looked surprised and turned to look at Chunxiang: "Where are your manpower deployed?"
"Shahe" Chunxiang said.
"The journey from Changping to Shahe can take half an hour as quickly as possible, or an hour as slowly as possible. There shouldn't be any trouble." Zhu Cixiang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Chunxiang also nodded and replied: "Of course it shouldn't be. The date of Eunuch Chang's return to the capital is not even certain. Those people... those people even wait and wait..."
"Be careful in everything," Zhu Cixiang interrupted him: "Of course Chang Yu will not go alone when he returns to Beijing, with thousands of people accompanying him. Under normal circumstances, no one dares to die, but everything has accidents. The devil knows those who don't know whether to live or die.
What kind of tricks can people make?"
"Prince, the emperor ordered you to go out to meet Shili," the little eunuch who delivered the message whispered.
Zhu Cixiang clapped his hands together and said with joy, "Arrangement!"
Throughout the ages, when a general returns triumphantly from a battle, the emperor leads hundreds of officials to greet him in order to commend him. This is definitely the supreme honor that shines brightly on the lintel of the ancestors.
Chang Yu is an eunuch, neither an official nor a general. Although he has made outstanding contributions in Taiyuan, it is extremely difficult for the emperor to welcome him personally. It's not that the emperor can't lose face, but the cabinet will never allow it, so it's even more difficult.
It is absolutely impossible to expect hundreds of officials to greet you!
But it was obvious that what Chang Yu did pleased Chongzhen, and he had to express it, so the originally rigid emperor suddenly got smart and asked his prince to greet him. Although he knew that he would also be obstructed by the cabinet, the intensity would be small.
a lot of.
It is a unique honor for a prince of a country to come out to meet him, and the other person is an eunuch of the inner court. This shows that Chang Yu was favored by Chongzhen at this time. Of course, Chongzhen used this matter to make Chang Yu feel grateful.
He continues to work hard, and secondly, he beats up some thoughtful people. If you want to do it, please think again!
The news that the famous man in the palace was coming back soon spread throughout the Forbidden City, immediately arousing all kinds of discussions and expectations, whether it was the busy maids and eunuchs in the twenty-four yamen, the guards patrolling the imperial city, or even the bored harem.
The concubines were all talking about one person, Chang Yu.
Eunuch Chang is really like a superstar in the palace. The emperor and prince like him because he can make money for the royal family. The eunuchs and maids and guards like him because he can make money. And the affinity of this chief eunuch has never been better in history.
Never! Very easy to get close to.
Chang Yu, the star of the palace that everyone was looking forward to, was lying in the carriage and taking a nap. He was chatting with Hu Ling beside him. Wu Mengming was singing at the top of his lungs in the carriage next to him. He was so excited after returning to Beijing.
, ever since I came to Changping, I have been in this state of self-confidence that I am the most handsome in the world.
"Master Wu" Chang Yu really couldn't bear it: "Can you calm down for a while? What will you do when your broken voice becomes hoarse and you become a saint?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Factory Supervisor, I really can't stand my humble position. I'm finally back to Beijing, I'm finally back!" Wu Mengming opened the curtain and laughed.
"Have you suffered a great injustice by going out with our family with Mr. Wu?" Chang Yu rolled his eyes.
"The factory director made a serious statement, but I never meant it. Following the factory director out of Beijing this time, my horizons have been broadened and I have gained a lot. I have no time to express my gratitude to you, so how can I say I have been wronged?" Wu Mengming looked cheerful,
This old boy did make a lot of money when he went out and followed Chang Yu. Although there were hardships and dangers, he won the bet as it is said that wealth can be gained through danger.
"Sir, there is something different ahead." At this moment, Cheng Ming, the leader of the Tengxiang Guards who was responsible for opening the road ahead, rode up to the car.
Chang Yu lifted the curtains of the car and stuck his head out with a puzzled look on his face: "Is there something wrong?"
"The horse scout reports that there are nearly a hundred unknown people three miles ahead."
Chang Yu frowned: "Where is the front?"
“Almost near the Shahe River”
Shahe is only fifty or sixty miles away from the capital. Who is so bold as to dare to take action here? Chang Yu knows that there are too many people in the court who want to kill him, and he also knows that those people are very capable, so he is extremely cautious along the way, especially when walking on mountain roads and passing passes.
Be extremely careful when doing so.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, someone wants to see you." At this moment, a guard in gilded clothes came flying to report.
"Who?" Chang Yu was startled.
"Returning to the factory supervisor, I just discovered that there are unknown people three miles ahead, so I went to confirm my identity. However, the leader said that he is familiar with you and is a servant under your command. I heard that the master has returned to Beijing and came here to greet you."
Familiar acquaintance, footman? Chang Yu was puzzled for a moment.
So he got off his car and got on his horse, and the team immediately entered a state of preparation for battle, with swords unsheathed and arrows cocked, waiting for Chang Yu's order.
However, when Chang Yu rode up to the team and took a closer look, he laughed loudly and ran forward to the team: "Everyone is fine, who do I think they are? It's all brothers."
"The ordinary people pay homage to the factory governor." Hundreds of people dismounted from their horses and knelt down to worship. The momentum was so loud that Wu Mengming in the car behind him was so shocked that his urethra tightened. Who was he?
An old acquaintance, a gangster figure in Beijing, and the twelve Taibos that Chang Yu conquered.
Chang Yu is about to return to Beijing, but Chang Yu is already rife with murderous intentions. Countless people are waiting to take his life, and even those around him are being plotted.
Chongzhen may not know about this, but the prince and Chunxiang had already heard the news, and even Chunxiang had been assassinated. Fortunately, he was prepared and escaped.
Nothing can happen to Chang Yu. He must be allowed to enter the city and the palace safely. Once he enters the palace, it will be difficult for those people to think about him. However, the prince has no power and no one to help him. This kind of thing cannot be openly fought.
, otherwise someone with good intentions will take advantage of it, and one mistake will cause you to get burned.
Since the prince cannot come forward, only Chunxiang can make arrangements.
Although Chunxiang was Chang Yu's confidant and could mobilize some Dongchang fans, at this time Chang Yu had just joined the job and was always away from home. Whether these people in Beijing could be trusted, whether they could be mobilized, or even whether anyone could be mobilized was a question.
Therefore, Chunxiang thought of using the power of the Twelve Taibo.
Fang Ba and Jiang Yiping are both gangsters in the capital. Although the people they control are ruffians and even desperadoes, they are firstly afraid of Chang Yu, secondly loyal to Chang Yu, and thirdly, they have connected interests. The fourth is the most important.
This underground power can deceive people.
When Chunxiang told Fang Ba about this incident, the gang boss immediately summoned the twelve Taibos, patted his chest and pledged to protect Chang Yu's safe entry into Beijing, so he mobilized more than a hundred elite personnel to come to Shahe to welcome him.
"They have mobilized gangsters to protect them secretly. It seems that the situation in Beijing is too weird and too dangerous." After Wu Mengming learned the ins and outs of the matter, he frowned deeply: "Mr. Factory Supervisor, after entering Beijing, you can leave your humble position.
You stay away, it's too dangerous."
Hahaha, Chang Yu laughed: "We are grasshoppers on the same rope, neither of us can escape. Mr. Wu, please polish the knife on your waist, or you may start a killing spree!"
Wu Mengming went on a killing spree and couldn't help but trembled: "Will the emperor allow it?"
"When you can't help yourself, when you can't bear it anymore, you can take care of so much." Chang Yu sneered: "And maybe the emperor would take the opportunity to kill a batch of them."
Ah, Wu Mengming rubbed his head: "I suddenly don't want to go back to Beijing anymore. It's nice to be outside. I can listen to songs, go shopping, and save some money when I have nothing to do. It's so comfortable."
Hehehe, Chang Yu sneered and said nothing, but he was thinking in his heart, as Wu Mengming said, Chunxiang mobilized the power of gangs in Beijing to protect himself, which means that the situation is already critical, which means that the power of the public cannot be used, or there is no one available.
, Furthermore, some people refused to use it. Could it be that Chongzhen was deliberately forcing himself into a corner so that he could be ruthless and fight with those people?
Moreover, these people even attacked Chunxiang and did not intercept him on his way back to the capital. This really surprised him. But after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Chongzhen had summoned him back to the capital with a secret message. His opponent had not known it before.
, by the time he found out, he had already arrived outside Beijing.
The wind and cold were blowing hard. At dusk, on the road leading to the capital, a group of people was walking slowly and unhurriedly. There were some unidentified people scattered for five miles in front and behind the group, all of whom had extremely wary eyes.
