After saying this, Chen Lin didn't say anything more. She just made an appointment with Kou Ji to meet at the gate of the East Palace in the evening two days later.
With Chen Lin's reminder, Kou Ji began to pay attention to the changes in the palace.
The next morning, after finishing his physical exercise, Kou Ji pulled Liu Heng aside.
Liu Heng's martial arts has made rapid progress in the past few days under Cao Xu's guidance.
In the past, he mostly practiced secretly by himself, so he made a lot of mistakes. In addition, he had learned a half-baked Tang Shou, and his moves were not consistent, so it would be easy to hurt the body through strong training.
In addition to instructing Liu Heng in training his basic skills, Cao Xu also taught him a complete set of Tang Shou techniques.
In addition, he also taught him a sword technique.
It is said to be the Hundred Battle Sword used on the battlefield, with decisive killing power and sharp moves.
Although Tang Shou has some sharp points, most of its moves are mainly based on falls and strikes, with gentle force used more often.
The Baizhan Sword is different. Every move and every move of the Baizhan Sword is decisive, extremely sharp, and fierce and domineering.
One hard and one soft complement each other.
Liu Heng practiced very vigorously, and he was willing to work hard, so his martial arts was the fastest among Kou Ji's group.
When Kou Ji pulled Liu Heng, Liu Heng was practicing his sword.
Hearing Kou Ji's call, he walked aside with Kou Ji holding a knife.
Kou Ji put his arm around his shoulder and asked, "What changes have happened in the city recently?"
Liu Heng casually made a show of swordsmanship and said in deep thought: "There have been no changes in Bianjing City recently. It's just that the officials killed people too harshly. After the censors' remonstrances, they stopped temporarily.
Furthermore, there are many more Taoists in the city.
Taoists who were rarely seen in the past are now everywhere in the city and can be seen everywhere.
Among them are many Taoist officials who have been canonized by officials."
"Where's my grandfather?"
Kou Ji turned his head and asked.
Liu Heng was stunned and said with a smile: "If you didn't ask, I almost forgot. Your grandfather has been very proud of himself recently, gaining power and wealth. After those Taoists learned that it was your grandfather who presided over the grand ceremony of canonizing the state master, they secretly and openly gave you
The Kou government sent a lot of money and treasures.
My father said that the money and treasures your grandfather has collected in the past few days is enough to cover the entire Kou Mansion with gold foil."
Kou Ji slowly shook his head and said in a low voice: "Since my grandfather dared to accept this money, he must have got the official's permission. After everything is done, maybe it will all be sent to the official's private treasury. He can get some points at most.
Just moisturizing.
You just said that my grandfather had both power and wealth, in terms of power?
Did the official family promote my grandfather again?
Why didn't I hear anything?"
Liu Heng shook his head and said: "When I say power, I mean real power. This time an official killed many people under Ding Wei, who were implicated. After these people were eliminated, Ding Wei's power in the court was greatly reduced."
.Your grandfather took the opportunity to promote many officials.
Your grandfather not only took back the real power of the prime minister, but most of his cronies also hold important positions.
Although Li Di was not promoted, his status in the inner court vaguely surpassed that of Ding Wei.
Wang Zeng was transferred to the Third Division and served as the Third Division Envoy, in charge of the imperial court's purse.
Your uncle was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel and was in charge of the promotion and promotion of officials all over the world.
Zhang Zhibai, who was left behind in Nanjing, was transferred back to Beijing by your grandfather and served as Minister of War.
Yang Yi and Yang Chongxun also received promotions.
In addition, your grandfather also promoted a new wave of people.
The most famous among them is Yan Shu, who has been known as a child prodigy since childhood.
Yan Shu was a Jinshi in the second year of Jingde. He was only fourteen years old when he became a Jinshi.
Awesome, right?
He was transferred by your grandfather to the position of Zuo Shuzi, a fourth-grade official, and one of the subordinate officials of the East Palace.
It is said that he will come to the East Palace in a few days.
Twenty-eight years old, fourth rank in official residence..."
Liu Heng looked envious.
Yan Shu was only twenty-eight years old, with a fourth-rank official position. He had already reached a height that many people may not be able to reach in their lifetime.
And his future achievements will definitely be more than this.
As long as nothing goes wrong, it is inevitable that he will become prime minister.
How could it not be awesome?
Kou Ji clicked his lips and sighed: "It's really amazing..."
He became a Jinshi at the age of fourteen, and he passed the examination in a serious manner.
Kou Ji suddenly felt that he, as the prince's attendant, was nothing.
He, the Prince's Attendant, was not a formal Jinshi.
There's no way to compare with others.
"When he arrives at the East Palace, there will definitely be some changes in the East Palace... I don't know whether it is good or bad..."
Kou Ji sighed casually.
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng again and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Liu Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Thousands of large drums were set up on the walls of the imperial palace. It is said that they were used to celebrate the canonization of the national master. Also, the number of guards outside the East Palace increased a lot. They looked at each other one by one.
With a fierce look."
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
Two days passed quietly.
In the evening two days later, Chen Lin sent Zhao Yiyi to the imperial concubine Yang's palace, and then returned to the East Palace.
Kou Ji was already waiting for him at the gate of the East Palace.
Chen Lin threw a eunuch's clothes to Kou Ji and said, "Put it on so that our family can take you out more easily."
Kou Ji did not hesitate, put on the eunuch clothes given by Chen Lin, and transformed into a little eunuch.
Chen Lin gave him a few words and led him out of the east palace gate.
Kou Ji had been locked up in the East Palace for a long time. When he walked out of the East Palace, he felt as if he had escaped from the prison.
He didn't even have time to express his feelings.
Then I saw two teams of soldiers wearing armor and holding swords standing in awe on both sides of the gate of the East Palace.
They were covered in iron armor, and even though they didn't say a word or move, they couldn't conceal their murderous aura.
"Burenjia... the Imperial Army?"
Kou Ji stared at the soldiers for a while.
Chen Lin, who was walking in front, saw that he had not followed, so she turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and follow..."
Kou Ji nodded hurriedly and followed Chen Lin.
After leaving the East Palace, Chen Lin cursed in a low voice: "Didn't our family remind you to follow our family and not to walk around or look around?"
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said: "The palace is where the royal guards guard, and the imperial guards should guard the palace walls. Seeing the imperial guards appear in the palace, I am a little confused."
Chen Lin glared at him.
"I would like to remind you that tonight is different from the past. You must follow our family closely. You are a young eunuch now, not the prince's attendant. If something really happens, no one will care about the life of a young eunuch like you.
.”
Kou Ji quickly cupped his hands and said, "I've learned a lesson."
"Hmph~"
After leaving the East Palace, there is still a palace outside.
Chen Lin took Kou Ji through one palace after another.
Kou Ji looked at every place he passed carefully.
He found that these palaces were quiet and there was no sound at all.
The door is closed.
The nuns who sprinkled water, the eunuchs who swept the floor, and the concubines who wiped the floor were all gone.
Something is obviously abnormal.
Kou Ji quickly came to Chen Lin's side, lowered his voice and said, "Are these palaces full of soldiers?"
