Hold His Hand

After Xie Chengze woke up the next day, he and Lu Yanzhou ate morning food together as usual.

He doesn't pay attention to appetite, as long as he can eat enough, Lu Yanzhou is different, he changes his pattern every day, and brings out some fresh food to eat.

Lu Yanzhou makes many kinds of pasta alone these days.

But what they ate today was not pasta, but rice in a small earthenware pot. The rice was covered with meat, an egg, and some vegetables.

"What is this?" Xie Chengze asked.

"This is claypot rice, try it." Lu Yanzhou smiled and called Xie Chengze to eat.

At this time, people would cook with pottery products, and this kind of pottery pot was just used to make claypot rice.

Xie Chengze took a sip, and the taste was really good: "Our family likes the food you have figured out, and so does His Majesty."

"That's my honor."

"What reward do you want?" Xie Chengze asked.

"When are you free, sir, take me out for a stroll?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

Xie Chengze said: "Yes."

Lu Yanzhou laughed, moved to Xie Chengze's side, and kissed Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze's heart trembled, he was a little uncomfortable, but he brought Lu Yanzhou back to make Lu Yanzhou his "male favourite".

What's more, he actually likes it.

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou and took the initiative to kiss him.

When Xie Chengze left home, it was already noon, and he entered the palace as usual.

After raising it for a few days, His Majesty's waist has been healed, but yesterday he played around a little late, so that he still hasn't woken up today.

When Xie Chengze got the news, he waited at the door. After standing for a long time, he saw a 50-[-]-year-old eunuch walking towards him.

The eunuch looked kindly and kindly, making people feel good at first sight, but when Xie Chengze saw him, he became alert.

The old eunuch in front of him is called Zhang Quan. He has been with Jinshang since he was a child, and he has a lot of face around Jinshang. He is Xie Chengze's deadly enemy, and Dayan's other eunuch who holds great power besides Xie Chengze.

It turned out that almost all the eunuchs around Jinshang belonged to Zhang Quan. Zhang Quan plundered money and eradicated dissidents in the court, and his power was overwhelming.

When Xie Chengze first entered the palace, he wanted to follow Zhang Quan's footsteps, but he was good-looking, and Zhang Quan's subordinates were afraid that he would stand out, so they pushed him out and bullied him...

He gave up on Zhang Quan's heart, and after planning to show his face in front of Jinshang, he simply gathered a group of people who had enemies with Zhang Quan, and started to fight against Zhang Quan. Up to now, he has even gained the upper hand.

Zhang Quan has been with Jinshang long enough, even if Jinshang always treats eunuchs like dogs, dogs that have been raised for a long time still have feelings.

But Xie Chengze also has something better than Zhang Quan.

First of all, he is good-looking, and he is not interested in men. At the beginning, when he studied the eunuch's body, he let others do it, and carried out that kind of cruel and tormenting research. However, he likes beautiful women, so he is a little more tolerant towards Xie Chengze.

The second is that he has gone to school and read books, so he can give Jinshang various ideas and help Jinshang with errands.

Zhang Quan can also read and handle memorials, but compared with Xie Chengze, he is far behind.

"Long time no see, Mr. Xie is still handsome." Zhang Quan smiled.

Xie Chengze ignored this person.

Zhang Quan is a tiger with a smiling face, no matter who he is smiling at, Xie Chengze is the opposite.

In addition to smiling at the emperor, he always had a cold face towards other people, with a strange expression of yin and yang.

He doesn't know how others feel, anyway, the emperor likes him very much.

Facing Xie Chengze's cold face, Zhang Quan was not annoyed at all: "I heard that Eunuch Xie brought a man back from outside? It's really interesting."

Xie Chengze was not surprised that Zhang Quanhui knew about Lu Yanzhou's existence.

He will bring Lu Yanzhou back, and he has something to do with Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan has been staring at him, and several times he almost found out his small movements in private. There are many people around him, which can also divert Zhang Quan's attention.

Xie Chengze still didn't speak, Zhang Quan didn't care at all: "If Your Majesty knows that Xie Gonggong has raised a man at home, I don't know what he will think."

Xie Chengze then said: "Don't worry about Eunuch Zhang!"

The emperor woke up, Xie Chengze and Zhang Quan looked at each other, went in together, and waited for the emperor to get up.

While serving, both of them said funny things.

Xie Chengze also said: "Your Majesty, this servant has asked someone to try a new dish, does Your Majesty want to try it?"

"Yes, you will have someone make it later!" The emperor was very interested.

Zhang Quandao: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Xie knows a lot, but it's a pity that this old slave doesn't know anything."

The emperor said: "You don't know as much as he does."

Zhang Quan was choked by the emperor, but his face remained unchanged: "I heard that Eunuch Xie brought a person back when he returned to Beijing last time... Eunuch Xie, who made these delicacies? Why don't you dedicate that person to the emperor? "

The emperor became interested: "Is there anything else?"

"Eunuch Zhang misunderstood. That person is not a cook, but he is good-looking. I love him so I brought him back." Xie Chengze generously admitted.

His appearance surprised Eunuch Zhang.

Xie Chengze has been favored very much these years, and all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty felt that he should have won the emperor's favor and became the emperor's man.

Even Zhang Quan felt the same way.

Xie Chengze is with another man now... Zhang Quan thought he didn't dare to let the emperor know.

The emperor was a little curious at this moment: "You have a good vision, what kind of man do you like? The eunuch's body is so disgusting, why is he still willing to be with you?"

Xie Chengze smiled: "Your Majesty, so what if he doesn't want to, if I snatch it back, he will be mine."

"Yes!" The emperor laughed.

Xie Chengze felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, the emperor had studied the eunuch's body, and even after how a man became a eunuch, he was not interested in eunuchs, so he didn't ask much.

Xie Chengze had dealt with the emperor before, and cast a cold glance at Zhang Quan, just in time to see the unconcealed resentment under Zhang Quan's smiling face.

No matter how old people are, Chengfu is not even as good as Lu Yanzhou.

After working in the palace for a long time, Xie Chengze was finally able to leave the palace.

As soon as he got home, he saw Lu Yanzhou waiting for him at the door with a smile like before.

Xie Chengze's mood was complicated.

He had known for a long time that Lu Yanzhou was not sincere towards him, but he had to deal with him due to the situation.

But he just fell in love with such a liar.

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what Xie Chengze was thinking, so he went up to him and asked if Xie Chengze had been wronged in the palace.

Serving people is not an easy job.

Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou, and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, our family will take you out for a stroll."

Lu Yanzhou knew that he didn't want to talk, so he didn't ask: "Okay! My lord, are you free to teach me how to read today?"

"Our family has some things to do, and we'll come to you when we're done," Xie Chengze said.

Xie Chengze has a lot of things to do. He has always liked to handle various affairs, which is much more interesting to him than serving the emperor.

But at this moment, he was actually a little anxious, and wanted to get these things done quickly so that Lu Yanzhou could come over quickly.

With a sneer, Xie Chengze put down the pen in his hand, found his confidants, and ordered a few words: "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you arranged for someone to assassinate me, and there was some small disturbance... Recently, many people have troubled me, so we should act first. It’s better to find trouble with them!”

"Yes."

"Be careful when the time comes, I will arrange people to rescue nearby, you retreat in time, don't cause casualties."

"Yes!"

When Xie Chengze arranged people, Lu Yanzhou was reading a book.

He has learned a lot of knowledge before, but the knowledge of each dynasty is different. Recently, he is learning about the world and perfecting his plan.

The dynasty in this world has come to an end, but Xie Chengze is standing in a very dangerous position.

Even if he leaves with Xie Chengze, there are still many people who know Xie Chengze, and it will be difficult for Xie Chengze to live a stable life in the future.

Most importantly, he needs merit.

If he wants merit, he cannot be unknown. In this era, he has no right to make money and do good deeds, and he will only become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Putting everything together, Lu Yanzhou had long ago decided to be a rebel, and as for Xie Chengze...

He planned to wait for Xie Chengze to trust him enough, then take Xie Chengze to leave the capital and go to fight the world together.

After Xie Chengze finished his work, Lu Yanzhou got up and went into the study.

Xie Chengze sat behind the desk, the flickering candlelight made him even more beautiful.

Lu Yanzhou walked over and kissed Xie Chengze: "My lord, what are you going to teach me today?"

Xie Chengze said: "Continue reading history books."

Lu Yanzhou had no objection, and read history books with Xie Chengze.

At first Xie Chengze only taught him to read and write, but recently he explained the history to him, and even told him many things behind the history.

A few simple words in the history books, when carefully considered, are bloody.

"Here, it is said that Zhou Ye fought for power with his relatives, the Yang family, and after killing all of the Yang family, the new emperor ushered in the throne... The new emperor's original wife and two sons all died of illness, and later married Zhou Ye's daughter as the queen... What did you see?" Xie Chengze pointed to a section and asked Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou said: "The new emperor's original wife was surnamed Yang."

"That's right." Xie Chengze took a deep look at Lu Yanzhou.

There are very few records in the history books about the women in the back house. The wife of the emperor who died early did not have a surname in the history books, and only simply died of illness.

If you don’t read carefully, you won’t be able to read anything, but if you read carefully... the Yang family used to have power in the court, and the new emperor was originally a prince. It is normal to marry a daughter of the Yang family. Afterwards, Zhou Ye destroyed the Yang family and found a suitable person to ascend the throne Naturally, it is unacceptable that this person's wife's surname is Yang, and it is even more unacceptable that this person's child has the blood of the Yang family.

Therefore, if the new emperor wants to ascend the throne, he must kill his wife and children.

He did so, and his wife and children "died of illness" together.

It's really not easy for Lu Yanzhou, who lived in the lower class since he was a child, to be able to see through it at a glance.

Xie Chengze pointed out some subtleties, and after explaining the literal meaning, he asked Lu Yanzhou what he thought. Lu Yanzhou hit the nail on the head and said the most important thing.

He is very smart!

Xie Chengze taught him, and even taught him interesting.

In history, many successful people did everything they could. Xie Chengze suddenly felt that Lu Yanzhou was such a person.

Others are just trying their best, but Lu Yanzhou can even greet him, a eunuch, with a smile and flattery.

Xie Chengze thought so, lowered his head, and kissed Lu Yanzhou.

But after he got Lu Yanzhou's anger out, he left immediately.

Lu Yanzhou: "..." He is really in pain and happy recently!

In the blink of an eye, it's the day of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Dayan likes to worship ancestors, and whenever there is a festival, it is necessary to worship ancestors, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is no exception.

However, eunuchs are considered to be insulting to their ancestors, so they would not worship their ancestors. At least Xie Chengze never asked anyone to prepare for the worship.

Early in the morning, he took Lu Yanzhou out to visit the capital.

When Lu Yanzhou came to the capital, he was lying on his horse's back, so he didn't take a closer look at the capital. This time, he went to the bustling streets of the capital with Xie Chengze, only to find that the capital is really broken.

But although the capital is broken, there are still some places that look luxurious.

Auspicious clouds are engraved on the tiles used by the high-ranking households on the side of the road. Those who come and go are carried by people, and pearls and gems are dropped on their clean shoes.

It's just that many of these men actually have sharp eyes, and they are a bit ugly if they dress up like this.

"Do you want anything?" Xie Chengze looked at the jewelry shop next to him.

"I want to eat something delicious." Lu Yanzhou said, the technology in this world is limited, no matter how carved the gems here are, they are not as beautiful as the jewelry of later generations.

Lu Yanzhou himself didn't like these things either, so he wasn't interested in jewelry and costumes at all.

In contrast, he wants to eat some delicious food.

Xie Chengze took Lu Yanzhou and was about to find a place to eat something, when suddenly dozens of people rushed out from the side of the road: "You bitch, I'm going to kill you to avenge my father!"

"The eunuch is in power, and the people will not live, they will die!"

"Thank you thief, go die!"

……

These people are all here for Xie Chengze!

Xie Chengze's face remained unchanged, but Lu Yanzhou suddenly hugged him at this moment, rolled over, and led him to avoid an incoming arrow.
