[Ming] the son of the eunuch

On the fifth day of October in the 31st year of Hongwu, Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu, who had been in Yanjing for more than ten days, finally decided to set off and return to Beijing.

On the day they left, the weather was not very good, so neither King Yan nor Princess Yan came to see them off.If it was before, the two of them might have thought about something more, but at this moment, the two of them don't care about it anymore.

The two of them took their men and waited all the way to the capital until the end of October.The weather in Yanjing in October has started to get cold, but the capital Nanjing is still warm as usual.

The two had discussed it along the way, so after they stepped into the capital, they went straight to the palace.

Emperor Jianwen, who was discussing the reduction of feudal vassals with Imperial scholar Huang Zicheng and Minister of War Qitai in the imperial study, waited to hear the news that they were waiting outside the palace.Immediately, he took a look with his two cronies and said directly: "Let them come in immediately!"

"Promise!" Chen Shui leaned over slightly, and then hurriedly went outside to deliver the decree.

"I hope they can bring good news!" Emperor Jianwen, who was a little tired after working hard for days, leaned back and said lightly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is under our control and nothing will happen!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. The two county kings fell into the water and died because of their own fault. I believe that King Yan is a sensible person, and if he really has other thoughts about the emperor at this time, then it's okay. done."

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai glanced at each other and felt relieved.

Seeing the trust in the eyes of the two of them, after hearing the voice outside the door, Zhu Yunqi subconsciously sat up straight.

"Minister Xu Huizu sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"My minister Li Jinglong joined our emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong, both wearing the same red official robes, walked in and knelt down.

"Please hurry up, two lovers, you've worked hard all the way!" Although he was extremely anxious and couldn't wait to know King Yan's reaction, the young Emperor His Majesty still said politely and gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two looked at each other, and after getting up, they immediately told everything about Yanjing.

Time passed little by little, and Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he learned that King Yan had broken his leg.But when he finally heard that King Yan's lower body could not move at all, Zhu Yunqi became obviously suspicious.

"That's impossible. Fourth Uncle, how could he not be able to move? How could a person like him become paralyzed just because of a simple fall from his horse!"

With a face full of disbelief, Zhu Yunwen became agitated.The King of Yan Zhu Di he knew had always been an ambitious figure, and Zhu Yunwen couldn't imagine that he would never be able to stand up.

"The emperor is true. King Yan concealed the fact that he fell from the horse. Now the whole Yanjing only thinks that he is sick because of the two little county kings. Everyone doesn't know the fact that he fell from the horse and is not good at behavior!" Looking up to the front, Xu Huizu said immediately.

"No--this-- there must be fraud in it!" Standing up all of a sudden, Zhu Yunqi became excited.

"Your Majesty, please be safe and don't be impatient!" Huang Zicheng immediately looked at Li Jinglong with a quick reassurance.Compared to this Wei Guogong who is inextricably linked with Yan Wangfu, Ning Yuan believed Li Jinglong's words.

"Duke Cao---"

"It's true!" There was a hint of complacency in his eyes, and he glanced at Xu Huizu on the side.Then Li Jinglong said loudly: "Your Highness, it was Wei Guogong and I who saw that bowl of hot soup flowed onto King Yan's thigh that day. King Yan didn't react at all. Such a hot thing fell on the person. , no one can take it calmly. And before he was about to come back, I personally visited Li Si, the imperial doctor who treated the king of Yan. He is the eldest son of the head of the imperial hospital and has always hoped that he can return to Beijing to continue serving. Your Majesty, so he told Wei Chen everything. At first when King Yan fell from his horse, he and the other imperial physicians thought that King Yan just broke his right leg. But when King Yan woke up, he saw with his own eyes that King Yan couldn’t get up He was furious. During the diagnosis and treatment, he secretly tried it with silver needles, and King Yan’s legs did not respond at all!"

"Your Majesty, it's God's will!" Qi Tai, whose eyes were full of excitement and who had been silent all this time, immediately burst out laughing happily.

"How can Qi Shangshu be sure that King Yan is not pretending? You must know that King Yan is famous for being courageous and cunning. This kind of person can use tricks on the battlefield, so naturally he can also use tricks in private!" Because of the involvement Arriving at King Yan's Mansion involved His Highness King Yan, whom Chen Lin always couldn't let go of, so Chen Shui, who stepped forward and stood at the end of the hall, couldn't help but talk a lot.

"This---" Reluctant to answer a eunuch's question, Qi Tai became silent all of a sudden.

"Ah Shui is right. Fourth Uncle must be cheating. He wants me to stop him temporarily!" Seeing Chen Shui full of approval, Zhu Yunqi immediately agreed.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Raising his hand to touch the beards on his chin, Huang Zicheng said leisurely: "Who is King Yan? If he really felt his legs, how could he let a mere little doctor treat him like that?" So presumptuous. And the most important thing is that even now King Yan is trying to hide the fact that he is not good at doing things. If he wants to cheat, he should announce it to the world. How could he do the opposite and do it deliberately like he is now? Hiding it."

"What Zicheng means is that Fourth Uncle really can't move anymore." He sat down again all of a sudden, Zhu Yunqi became a little suspicious.

"Your Majesty, please be calm and calm!" Huang Zicheng suddenly laughed with confidence on his face: "In the past, because King Yan was so powerful, the Emperor and us thought that we would deal with him last. But now, whether he is real or not Whether it is bad or false, the ministers all suggest that the emperor should do something?"

"What does Zicheng mean?" Emperor Jianwen and several people in the hall looked at Huang Zicheng.

Huang Zicheng smiled faintly, and then said softly: "Since the emperor doesn't believe that he is really bad at doing things, why not make a slight move. As long as you move in the right place, if you don't believe King Yan, he can still remain indifferent!"

"Brother Huang is thinking?" Guessing his meaning faintly, Qi Tai's eyes widened immediately: "Your Majesty, what Brother Huang means is that he wants you to take this opportunity to replace the important officials of Yanjing and see what King Yan is." reaction."

"An important official of Yanjing?" Emperor Jianwen subconsciously looked at Xu Huizu.

Overjoyed in his heart, Xu Huizu immediately replied: "My Majesty, the most important officials in Yanjing are the local chief envoy and the four local commanders. The King of Yan has been in Yanjing for too long, and because he He once directly commanded the two guards of Beiping and Yongqing and participated in countless battles on the border, so the king of Yan has a high prestige in Yanjing. It is also a good way for the emperor to replace the chief envoy and commander of the capital of Yanjing, but this method only applies As for the other two guards. As for the two guards of Beiping and Yongqing, it may not be enough to just replace the commanders, and I suggest that the emperor simply transfer them out of Yanjing to avoid future troubles!"

Listening to Xu Huizu's words, everyone on the field was slightly stunned, no one thought that he would do so without leaving any room.However, Emperor Jianwen, who was sitting at the forefront behind the dragon case, truly believed that he was indeed loyal after hearing the words.

"Haha, good, good!! Good!!! I will transfer all the Yanjing officials who can rely on my fourth uncle one by one. If he pretends, he will definitely not be able to sit still. But if he is really bad, then Then I will definitely be helpless, then I will think about how to deal with him!"

Looking at the happy eyes of the emperor above, Chen Shui couldn't help but sigh when he thought about his brother's unusually stubborn character.

"We must let him know the powerful relationship between them, and we must not let him be obsessed with it anymore!" Thinking secretly in his heart, Chen Shui decided to persuade Chen Lin as soon as possible, and he must not let him fall deeper and deeper.

In November of the 31st year of Hongwu, Emperor Jianwen appointed Zhang Bing as the chief envoy of Beiping.He ordered General Guangwei Xie Gui and Heping Yuedu to command Qin and Zhang Xin to be the commander of Beiping, and according to what Wei Guogong said, sent the Beiping and Yongqing Second Guards who were most loyal to King Yan to Zhangde and Shunde.

When the imperial decree was passed on, all the courtiers quietly waited for King Yan's reaction.Half a month later, when the news came that Zhang Bing, Xie Gui and Zhang Xin had successfully taken over, and the Beiping and Yongqing guards had been successfully transferred, the whole court really settled down.

"His Royal Highness, why don't you go to the palace tomorrow?" In just half a month, Chen Shui gave him a hard time, and after Zhang Wu heard the news that King Yan had fallen from his horse unexpectedly, Chen Lin finally felt that the time had come. .

"Go to the palace?" His face was obviously ugly, thinking of the recent series of actions of the imperial court against Yanjing, Zhu Gaochi was obviously hesitant and unwilling to get up.

"I don't want to stay in the capital all my life, sir. If you don't want to, you have to listen to me!" Having stayed with him long enough, Chen Lin couldn't help but speak casually.

"I---" After hesitating for a while, looking at Chen Lin for a long time, Zhu Gaochi finally nodded.

That night, Chen Lin explained to Zhu Gaochi the precautions for a night of face-to-face meeting, but after seeing him hesitate and show timidity the next day, after thinking about it again, Chen Lin simply followed him into the palace.

This was the first time Chen Lin entered the Taihe Gate of Daming Palace after seven months.

It seems that a lot has changed here since the new emperor ascended the throne, but Chen Lin couldn't tell exactly what changed for a while.

Following Zhu Gaochi, Chen Lin couldn't help telling him softly: "Your Majesty, when you see the emperor, you must not mention political affairs and Yanjing. You just need to talk to the emperor about the family, and talk about the past when the late emperor was here. It’s fine for you to study together.” Knowing that King Yan has not reported his injury to the imperial court, Chen Lin can only take it step by step!

"En, I got it!" She nodded lightly, looking at the long palace road in front of her.At this moment, Zhu Gaochi suddenly calmed down, not at all indecisive as he was when he was in the Yan Palace.

Zhang Wu on the opposite side gave Chen Lin a look telling him not to worry, and took a deep breath.It was only at this moment that Chen Lin realized that he was the most nervous person present.

With a wry smile, the living son Zhu Gaochi tidied up his clothes.Then, under the leadership of the eunuchs in the palace, they walked into the outer gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Chen Lin and Zhang Wu, who were standing at the bottom of the steps outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, could only wait quietly.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I seem to have seen someone I know!"

While Chen Lin and Zhang Wu were waiting quietly, suddenly a familiar voice from the left made Chen Lin's complexion turn pale.

Turning his head to look at the palace corridor on the left, he saw Chen Shui in a red uniform of a leader and eunuch.As well as the bright yellow young emperor standing beside him surrounded by many eunuchs and court ladies, Chen Lin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
